Chapter 215 Conquering the Western Regions and cutting off the Xiongnu's arm

[After dismissing Li Yi, Ban Chao began to concentrate on coping with the difficult situation in front of him.

Just when Banchao mobilized troops from Shule and Khotan to attack Shache, the king of Shache secretly sent someone to bribe Shule Wang Zhong with heavy gifts. In the end, Shule Wang Zhong chose to betray Banchao, launch a rebellion, and occupy Wuji City .

The betrayal of Shule Wang Zhong was a big blow to Ban Chao, but Ban Chao was not discouraged by it. He chose to change Lifu Chengcheng Da to become the new Shule King, and then mobilized troops to attack Shule Wang Zhong again, and defeated Zhong. The army recovered Wucheng.

But Ban Chao also lost the opportunity to attack Shache, so he had to choose to recuperate and find another opportunity. 】

[Three years later, Zhong borrowed some soldiers and horses from King Kangju, conspired with Qiuci, and sent people to surrender to Banchao.

Ban Chao saw the traitor, so he used his plan, beheaded Zhong in the banquet, and took the opportunity to march and defeat Zhong's army, so the South Road was restored.

The second year after defeating Zhong, Ban Chao mobilized more than 2 soldiers from Khotan and other countries, and sent troops to attack Shache again.

King Kucha immediately sent [-] troops to rescue Shache after receiving the distress signal from Shache.

When the enemy is strong and we are weak, Ban Chao decided to use the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

Ban Chao pretended to be timid, and deliberately released false news that he hoped to retreat. King Qiuci was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately rushed out and divided his troops to intercept, intending to destroy the coalition forces led by Ban Chao.

Seeing that the enemy had been tricked, Ban Chao immediately led the army to set off, and went straight to the base camp of Shache when the cock crowed.

Shache's forces were empty and defenseless, and they were defeated and forced to surrender. Banchao won a complete victory.

Shache Kingdom was breached, the king had no choice but to surrender, and King Kucha and others had no choice but to disperse. At this point, Ban Chao's prestige spread rapidly, and his power shook the Western Regions. 】

"Hehe, playing tricks, we Chinese people are our ancestors!"

"The countries in the Western Regions are still not enough. Perhaps this is the reason why Ban Chao is only ranked tenth."

"That's right, compared to the Xiongnu, Mongolian Yuan, and Jurchen, these countries in the Western Regions are not even pets, are they?"

"Don't underestimate them, after all, they have the support of the Huns behind them!"

[Back then, the Da Yuezhi Kingdom once helped the Han Dynasty to attack Che Shi.

In the first year of Zhanghe (87 A.D.), the king sent envoys to the residence of Banchao to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty with treasures, lions, etc., and wanted to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty.

But Ban Chao refused his request, which annoyed King Da Yuezhi. 】

"The mere Da Yueshi also wants to marry my Dahan Princess???"

"If you really want to agree, that would be outrageous!"

"I hope that the future dynasties can straighten their backs like my Ming Dynasty, no marriage! No compensation! No land cede! No tribute! The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!"

[In the second year of Zhanghe (AD 88), Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty passed away, and the prince Liu Zhao succeeded to the throne as Emperor Hanhe.

At this time, Ban Chao was already regarded as the elder of the three dynasties, but he was still in the remote Western Regions, making unremitting efforts for the great Han to completely conquer the Western Regions. 】

[In the summer of the second year of Yongyuan (AD 90), Xie, the deputy king of the Dayue clan, led [-] troops, crossed Congling to the east, and attacked Banchao.

Ban Chao didn't have many soldiers at this time, and the strength of them was very different from that of Dayue's, so everyone was very panicked.

Ban Chao's military talent is outstanding. He saw through the weaknesses of Dayuezhi, and believed that as long as he gathered food and stood firm without fighting, it would only take a few dozen days for the enemy soldiers to be in trouble.

Xie, the deputy king of the Dayue Clan, attacked Ban Chao aggressively, but he was unable to capture the city that Ban Chao was defending.

He wanted to plunder food and grass, but he had nowhere to go with guns. In addition, there was an epidemic in the army. After a long time, the army of Da Yuezhi was exhausted.

Ban Chao reckoned that the Dayue Clan would run out of supplies and would not be able to attack for a long time, so he would definitely send someone to Kucha for help.

Therefore, Ban Chao ambushed a surprise soldier on the envoy's way forward, and intercepted and killed the envoy sent by the Dayue Clan to the devil Kucha for help when he appeared.

After successfully intercepting and killing the envoy, Ban Chao sent someone to show Xie the gift that Xie sent to Qiuci for help.

Xie immediately turned pale with fright, and lost ground in advance and retreat. In the end, the soldiers had no heart to fight, and knowing that they would lose, they had no choice but to send envoys to plead guilty to Ban Chao, hoping to let them live.

Ban Chao did not kill them, but let them go back to the country. Da Yuezhi was very grateful for this, reconciled with the Han Dynasty, and paid tribute to the Han Dynasty every year. 】

[What happened to the Da Yue Clan made Qiuci, Gumo, Wensu and other countries begin to examine themselves.

They knew that they were not Ban Chao's opponents, so they all chose to surrender to Ban Chao in the end, and returned to the big man.

So far, except for the three kingdoms of Yanqi, Weixu, and Yuli who participated in the murder of Chen Mu, the governor of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, who were still stubbornly resisting because they were afraid of being liquidated, the rest of the countries have been pacified, and Ban Chao was also appointed by Emperor Hanhe as the new leader because of his great achievements. Protector of the Western Regions. 】

[In the autumn of the sixth year of Yongyuan (AD 94), Ban Chao mobilized a total of [-] troops from eight countries, including Kucha and Shanshan, to attack Yanqi, Weixu and Yuli.

When the army marched to Yuli, Ban Chao sent an envoy to inform the kings of the Three Kingdoms: "We are here this time only to stabilize the Western Regions, and we will not carry out liquidation.

Let your king come and meet you in person, if you are willing to reform and become a better man.

For those who abandon the dark and turn to the bright, the big man will definitely reward him, but if he resists stubbornly, he will only perish! "]

[Yanqi Wang Guang first sent Zuo General Bei Dianzhi to bring cattle and wine to meet Ban Chao.

Ban Chao also gave Bei Dianzhi a lot of gifts and asked him to return to his country to return to his life.

King Yanqi saw that there was nothing wrong with Beidanzhi, so he personally led senior officials to welcome Banchao in Yuli and presented gifts.

However, he didn't really want Ban Chao to enter the border, and immediately ordered the demolition of the bridge surrounding the border pass after returning.

Unexpectedly, Ban Chao entered his country by another road and stationed troops only twenty miles away from the royal city.

King Yanqi was shocked when he saw Ban Chao's sudden arrival, and wanted to flee to the mountains to resist.

Yuanmeng, Zuo Hou of Yanqi State, once held the capital hostage in the past, and he quietly sent an envoy to report to Ban Chao.In order to stabilize the Yanqi nobles, Ban Chao killed Yuanmeng's envoy. 】

[Later, Ban Chao set a time to entertain the kings and ministers of the Three Kingdoms, and declared that he would reward generously at that time.

More than 30 people including Yanqi Wang Guang, Yuli Wang Fan and Bei Qianzhi believed it was true and attended the meeting together.

Xiang Fujiu and others of Yanqi Kingdom chose to flee because they were afraid of being killed, and King Weixu did not come to the banquet.

Ban Chao knew very well that it would be difficult to really make the Three Kingdoms surrender if they did not deter them.

Therefore, at the beginning of the banquet, Ban Chao and others suddenly launched an attack, questioning why King Weixu did not attend the banquet, and ordered an attack on the armies of the Three Kingdoms, beheading more than 30 people, seizing more than [-] cattle, sheep and livestock, and capturing a group of The chief culprit who killed Chen Mu back then.

Ban Chao beheaded these people in the old city where Chen Mu was stationed, and showed them to the public, to comfort the spirits of the officials ordered by the Han Dynasty. 】

[So far, more than 50 countries in the Western Regions have all surrendered to the Han, and Ban Chao has perfectly completed the strategic decision of the Han to cut off the right arm of the Huns.

And Ban Chao finally realized his dream of making meritorious service in a foreign land. In the seventh year of Yongyuan, he was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan by the imperial court, with thousands of households in the city. 】
