The System Made Me a Fool

　　When Ban Chao entered the hall, the music of tambourine, wooden flute and Konghou sounded in the hall immediately.

　　Along with the beautiful melody, eighteen handsome naked women danced at the same time.

　　They dipped their toes and spun rapidly on the smooth ground, like streaks of snow-white light, dazzling.

　　They are already in good shape, and when they dance like this, they show the color of the country and the city. It turns out that this is the famous Hu Xuan Dance! There is a poem that praises: "When the drums sing, the sleeves are raised, and the snow flutters and dances. .

　　Turning left and right is tireless, and there is no end to thousands of turns.”

　　The Hu Xuanwu, who moves the world, and the eighteen most beautiful beauties in Kang Juguo have created a very strange magic power. Kang Ju Wang, who is standing outside the hall, is proud of himself. He is confident that no man in the world can resist this temptation. , even if the saint is here! According to his wishful thinking, Ban Chao in the hall at this time has long been happy when he sees it.

　　Thinking of the good spring in the hall at this time, King Kang Ju gritted his teeth with hatred.

　　These dancers are the most beautiful girls he has selected from the whole Kangju country. He has not even enjoyed them himself, but he is cheap for the old guy Ban Chao! But it doesn't matter, as long as Ban Chao indulges in the beauty of these Hu Xuan dancers, he will You can take the opportunity to leave Ban Chao in Kangjuguo, and be served by good wine and beauties, let him fall into the gentle village and cannot extricate himself.

　　In this case, the situation in the Western Regions, which had just been stabilized, will inevitably become turbulent again because of Ban Chao's absence, and those suppressed kingdoms will surely rise again. By then, the Western Regions will be in chaos. King Ju was immersed in his beautiful dream, but Ban Chao's voice came from the hall: "Your Majesty, please come in!"

　　King Kang Ju was startled and walked into the hall to see that the eighteen dancers had already dressed and were half-kneeling in a row! King Kang Ju said eagerly: "Master Ban, these are all gifts from the little king for you to enjoy. Yes, why don't you appreciate it?"

　　Ban Chao said: "How can I be fascinated by beauty when I lead troops to fight outside, these dancers are indeed beautiful, and it happened that before I left Beijing, Your Majesty specifically asked me to bring a group of outstanding Hu Xuan dancers back to Beijing. Since His Majesty the King If you have this intention, why don't you choose some Hu Xuan dancers for me and send me back to the capital."

　　When King Kang Ju heard this, he was immediately stunned.

　　I originally wanted to use the beauty trick to tempt Ban Chao, but I didn't expect that in the end, the beauty trick would fail, and instead, I would have to lose more beauties. It can be said that it was a loss to my grandmother's house! Kang Juwang's beauty trick did not have any impact on Ban Chao, if this If a man's heart is not strong enough, how could he have painstakingly stayed in the Western Regions for [-] years to be loyal to the great man? His mind is always the priority of the country and the king, and his personal desires have always been left behind! In the future, the Western Regions will still be there: there are actually not many countries that are stubbornly resisting, only a few countries such as Shanshan and Ruoqiang.

　　So Ban Chao struck while the iron was hot and continued to send troops to conquer Shanshan, and this time, he carefully selected [-] soldiers from the troops and horses of various countries in the Western Regions to form an army of [-] people to fight the final battle to pacify the Western Regions! Fei Lu reminds you: Three things to read

Chapter 169 Retreat

　　Shanshan is only a small country in the Western Regions, how can it resist Ban Chao's army, the King of Shanshan was so frightened that he had to send someone to the Da Yuezhi further west for help.

　　The Da Yuezhi does not belong to the Western Regions countries, but belongs to a strong medium-sized country around the Western Regions. At its peak, it established a powerful Kushan Empire and controlled a large area of ​​territory in the central area of ​​Mengyuan Continent.

　　Although it has long since declined, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse and is still a powerful foreign aid.

　　Da Yuezhi did not intend to be an enemy of Da Wei, but once Da Wei invaded the Western Regions, this behemoth would inevitably pose more threats to Da Yuezhi than the loose Western Regions.

　　Therefore, out of strategic considerations, the king of the Da Yuezhi decided to send troops to help Shanshan.

　　The purpose is only to be able to defeat Ban Chao's troops and help the countries in the Western Regions to restore their countries.

　　So King Da Yuezhi sent his general Wei Xi Shi, and led an army of [-] people to attack Kangju.

　　Ban Chao saw that the Da Yuezhi army was approaching aggressively, and his department was slightly tired after several months of expedition, so he decided to temporarily avoid the edge and adopt a tactic of hardening the wall and clearing the field.

　　He ordered all the strongholds to close the city gates, to guard against it, and not to take the initiative to open the door to respond to the enemy.

　　At the same time, he ordered to speed up the harvesting of grains from all over the world, and burn those who were too late to harvest, and not give a 1 rice grain to the Da Yuezhi troops who came from afar! Weixi Shi led his troops to provoke many times outside the city gate, but Ban Chao could not hold on, Wei Xi There was nothing he could do, so he could only attack, but Ban Chao commanded properly, and the fighting power of the Wei soldiers was extremely strong, so Weixi Shi could never make progress.

　　Seeing that the food supply in the army is decreasing day by day, Weixi Shi has no choice but to take the risk to ask Shanshan and other Western countries for help, hoping that they can supply some food and grass to solve the urgent need.

　　However, Ban Chao had expected that the desperate Weishish would definitely send people to ask for help, and he had already ambushed good people on the only roads everywhere, and captured all the messengers sent by Weishish to various countries in one fell swoop.

　　After Ban Chao captured the messenger, in order to implement the most powerful deterrent to the enemy and completely destroy the confidence of the enemy, he personally escorted the prisoners to the barracks of Da Yuezhi to meet Weishish! Weishish's appearance is typical of Mengyuanzhou The characteristics of the central ethnic group, a big broad and flat head, light black hair, a high nose bridge, rough and yellowish skin, and the fierceness of long-term leadership in the eyes.

　　But this kind of ferocity disappeared when he faced Ban Chao.

　　Because Ban Chao is more ruthless than him.

　　"General Weissish, all the messengers you sent have been captured by us. I believe that the food in your army will not last long! If you don't retreat now, when the food is exhausted, the soldiers are exhausted, and our Wei army is leading the troops. Pursue and you will surely die without a burial place!"

　　Ban Chao shouted sharply! Weishish trembled for a while, and for some reason, in front of Ban Chao, a short and lean Chinese old man, he actually had a feeling of fear.

　　After hesitating for a moment, Weissish finally sighed and said, "It's okay, I'll retire today!"

　　A fierce look flashed in Ban Chao's eyes, he pulled out the sword from his waist and said, "General Weissish, I will not offend the face of my kingdom! My Wei army is like a sword drawn out, and it will never be taken lightly. Take it back, if you want me to take it back, you have to pay the price!"

　　Weishish heard this and said angrily: "Ban Chao, don't take an inch, I have an army of [-] people here, are you really afraid that you won't succeed!"

　　Ban Chao laughed loudly and said, "Now you are in a dilemma with your army of [-] people. Life and death are only between my thoughts. I don't know whether the general wants to bury the army of [-] people here, or pay a little price in exchange for a living combat force. For the security, please ask the general to ask your king for instructions!"

　　After Ban Chao finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.

　　Three days later, the envoy of Weixi Shi visited Ban Chao and said that the King of Da Yuezhi was willing to offer [-] excellent war horses, which are special products of Da Yuezhi, in exchange for the safe return of [-] troops, and at the same time, he promised not to attack in the future. Great Wei.

　　In this way, with just one mouth and one soldier, Ban Chao retreated the [-] Da Yuezhi army and earned back [-] snow-splashing horses, creating an immortal battle in the history of the Western Regions after the retreat of the Da Yuezhi. Shan and other countries had no choice but to surrender to Da Wei and put them all into the hands of Ban Chao! King Shanshan learned that Da Yue was repelled by Ban Chao, and knew that there was no place for him in the Western Regions, so he secretly contacted the Saracens Empire in Tocharo. The governor of the region proposed the idea of ​​surrendering the whole country.

　　The governor of Tocharo, Mutasim, was overjoyed when he received the news from the King of Shanshan. Although Shanshan is not a big country, if the population and wealth of the country can be merged into Tocharo, the strength of this region will be significant. enhancement.

　　So Mutasim immediately.

　　Leading an army of [-] people, they went to the border area between the Saracen Empire and the Western Regions to meet the King of Shanshan.

　　After Ban Chao heard the news, he also summoned troops from all over the Western Regions and dispatched an army of [-] to pursue the King of Shanshan.

　　He will never allow other nations to usurp the fruits of his hard-earned victories! The Great Wei and Saracen's armies confront each other in the city of Zenaz.

　　The Saracen Empire is now under the rule of the Abbasid Dynasty, occupying the central part of Mengyuan Continent, occupying important areas such as Tocharo, Bactria, Daxia and Sarai, and its land area and population are sufficient. Competing with Dawei, technology

　　And culture is also very prosperous.

　　If the Great Wei is a superpower in the eastern part of Mengyuanzhou, then the Saracens Empire is the well-deserved overlord in the central part of Mengyuanzhou.

　　However, Dawei and Saracen did not have much contact before, and there was almost no military conflict.

　　The main reason is that the Western Regions lie between the two and become a buffer zone between the two countries.

　　But now the Great Wei has suddenly annexed the Western Regions, and the two have suddenly become close neighbors.

　　Neither side was prepared to deal with this, and this was the reason the encounter broke out.

　　After five days of fierce fighting, the two sides had a winner and loser.

　　Ban Chao felt that he had encountered an unprecedented powerful enemy.

　　When he was in the Western Regions before, he often led troops with less to more and was not afraid, the main reason was that no matter the equipment and training of the soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, they were far better than those of the Western Regions army.

　　When confronted with the Arab army, Ban Chao discovered that the soldiers on the opposite side were equally well-equipped and well-trained: warhorses of good blood, sharp swords made of Damascus steel, well-designed chain mail, and fanatical religious beliefs. The courage given to them made the soldiers of the Saracens country amazing! If it weren't for the fact that the number of troops led by Ban Chao was greater than the number of troops on the other side, the standard Kunwu steel weapons of the Great Wei Kingdom gave them a powerful advantage in equipment. Ban Chao really doubted this. The war of fighting more and fighting less may still fail! On the other hand, Mutasim, the governor of Tocharo, was even more surprised than Ban Chao.

　　The army of the Saracen Empire, which he is proud of, has no rivals in the middle of Mengyuan Continent, but he cannot gain an advantage when facing the soldiers from the Eastern Empire, which makes him feel helpless.

　　Until the King of Shanshan gave Mutasim an idea: "Your Majesty the Governor, Juqu, the King of Gaochang in the Great Wei army, was my best friend, and I heard that he was forced to surrender to the Great Wei because of the situation.

　　As long as we secretly contact him and start a rebellion, we will be able to defeat the Wei army!"

　　Mutasim was overjoyed when he heard it, adopted the idea of ​​the King of Shanshan, and sent a messenger to contact Juqu secretly.

　　History is always strikingly similar.

　　In real history, there was a violent border conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Black-clothed Dashi, known as the "Battle of Talas".

　　Gao Xianzhi, the leader of the army at the time, was also a prodigy in using soldiers, but he was not very good at dealing with foreign relations, and because of this, he made a fatal mistake, that is, he failed to deal with the loyalty issue within the army.

　　As a result, Gao Xianzhi's troops suddenly rebelled, and the Arab army attacked and defeated Gao Xianzhi, which also became a disgrace for this famous general.

　　The Battle of Talas became a turning point in the Tang Dynasty's influence on the Western Regions.

　　After the Battle of Talas, the Tang Dynasty's control over the Western Regions gradually weakened, and eventually lost control over Central Asia decades later.

　　And this time, in Zenaz, such a situation appeared again.

　　The difference is that this time the leader of the army is Ban Chao instead of Gao Xianzhi.

　　Ban Chao has a lofty prestige in the Western Regions, and almost all the countries in the Western Regions respect him sincerely. Because of this, the conspiracy of Juqu, the King of Gaochang, was secretly reported to Ban Chao by one of his subordinates.

　　After Ban Chao heard the news, he immediately.

　　Realize that this is a good opportunity to take the plunge.

　　So he pretended not to know anything, but in fact he had already arranged a heavy army to surround Juqu, making it impossible for him to raise any big waves.

　　On the day of the uprising, Ban Chao disarmed Juqu's troops first, and then sent someone to set fire to the rear, and the soldiers pretended to be panic and shouted.

　　Mutasim was overjoyed and immediately.

　　Ordered the whole army to press on.

　　The Arab troops rushed all the way into the Wei army camp, but unexpectedly found that it was empty, only some fires were burning, and there were a few dummies standing.

　　Mutasim was shocked and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"

　　But it was too late. Wei troops from all directions rushed towards the troops of the Saracen Empire like magic soldiers descending from heaven. These Arabs did not know how many troops were in the Wei army. He lost his armor and disarmed, and fled in all directions.

　　Ban Chao led his troops to take advantage of the victory, and Mutasim led the defeated soldiers to flee for hundreds of miles.

　　Ban Chao was worried that it would be dangerous to continue to penetrate into the territory of the Saracen Empire, so he withdrew his troops and returned.

　　This encounter did not turn into a super-large war between Saracen and Dawei, and both sides understand that, at least for now and for some time to come, each other will not be the main opponent.

　　The main competitor that Saracen wanted was the Sassanid dynasty of the Persian Empire in the western part of Mengyuanzhou. The two had a high degree of similarity in religious belief and ethnic composition. They were mortal enemies of each other, and they both wanted to eliminate each other. Then quickly.

　　In the east of the Saracen Empire, there is the Tibetan army, a religious army more fanatical than them, and the two countries have been fighting endlessly due to border conflicts for many years.

Chapter 170 Can't help but be overjoyed

　　As for the main direction of the future of the Wei Dynasty, it will be placed on the pacification of the northern nomads who have recovered several islands in the south, and in the long run to look at the east: this ambitious neighbor is also what they need to beware of.

　　Therefore, no matter from any point of view, it is very unwise to start a large-scale war between the two countries.

　　Taking this into consideration, Yan Ge, at Wang Meng's suggestion, took the initiative to send a diplomatic letter to the emperor of the Saracen Empire, claiming that the encounter was just an accident, and that he was willing to conclude a contract with Saracen.

　　Emperor Saracen was having a headache because of his defeat at Zenaz, and he was worried that he would attract an unnecessary rival. Of course, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he received the letter.

　　In order to show his sincerity, he punished Mutasim, the governor of Tocharian who started the war without authorization, and returned the population and materials of Shanshan to Wei.

　　The envoys of the two countries signed a treaty in Zenaz, so this treaty was also called the "Treaty of Zenaz" in later generations.

　　The treaty stipulates: 1. The two parties will take Zenaz City as the demarcation line of power, and they will not invade each other's territory. 2. If fugitives and criminals who have crossed the border are found, they must take the initiative to repatriate them to their own countries. Personal safety in the territory.

　　The signing of the Zenaz Treaty is of great significance to the Great Wei Dynasty. Later historians commented on it as follows: the signing of the Zenaz Treaty gave the rising great Great Wei Dynasty a chance to avoid a strong Rivals, adding a trading partner, won them valuable development opportunities.

　　In contrast, although the Saracen Empire also benefited from the treaty, when they actually faced the Great Wei Empire a few years later, they found that the enemy's strength was far from what they could have been able to compare to before.

　　The Western Regions were established, and Ban Chao led the submissive Western Regions kings back to the capital to meet the emperor.

　　Yan Ge welcomes Ban Chao, a great hero, back to Beijing with unprecedented grandeur.

　　He placed ten miles of silk and flowers at the gate of the capital, two rows of soldiers paid tribute to the triumphant troops, and countless beauties greeted the returning heroes.

　　Ban Chao's victory in the Western Regions not only made the emperor Yan Ge extremely excited, but also made the people of the whole country cheer! Since ancient times, the expansion of territory has been one of the greatest achievements of an emperor, and Yan Ge actually took three of the vast Western Regions at one time. The sixteen kingdoms have been pacified, and they have accomplished a feat that has never been done before in the entire history of China. How can we not let the people and scholars of the whole country praise the Golden Palace, and dozens of kings of the Western Regions dressed in fancy clothes filed in.
