When Ban Chao and others returned to the courtyard where they settled, Abriz also happened to come back from inquiring about the news.
When he saw them coming back, Abliz curiously asked Ban Chao: "How are you today?"
Ban Chao shook his head:
"Not very good, the talks fell apart.
The Kushan Emperor had no intention of explaining it to us. It is also possible that the arrival of the Huns mission caused his original thoughts to shift.
But no matter what, it is impossible for the Kushans to bow to us, and they may even rely on the Huns to oppress us! "
"Ah? What should we do? Didn't this mission fail?"
Ablizi said in shock.
Ban Chao shook his head and said: "It hasn't failed yet."
"How to say?"
Upon hearing what he said, not only Abriz but also the other envoy officials around him pricked up their ears and listened carefully, wanting to see what he had to say.
However, what surprised them was that Ban Chao did not continue to explain. Instead, he asked Abuliz: "How is your investigation going? Have you found out the location of the Huns mission?"
Although he was dissatisfied with him for ignoring his question, Abriz still nodded and said:
"We have found out clearly that the Hun envoys live in Shengxia Street, three blocks to the southeast of us. The place is easy to find. It is the largest mansion in Shengxia Street. It is said that it originally belonged to a certain minister of the Kushan Dynasty. This home was specially set aside for the Huns’ mission.”
When Ban Chao heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he applauded: "Well done! Ablizi, you have done a great job!"
In the next few days, you take turns taking our people out to check out the locations to make sure everyone is familiar with the place. When the time comes, I have a plan for everyone to make! "
Ban Chao said this, but Ablizi was keenly aware that something was wrong. He felt a little uneasy and asked:
"What do you want to do? This is the Kushan City. There are only more than a hundred of us here. If you do something you shouldn't do, we will all die here!"
"Don't worry, I haven't decided yet to take you and die with the Huns envoy. They are not worthy yet."
So what are you doing?
Abulizi and others asked, but Ban Chao explained to them.
While they were exploring the Huns envoy, a group of people were welcomed into the Dayuezhi Palace not long after they left.
The reason why no minister appeared at that time was because the Xiongnu followed closely behind him.
Qiu Ye also solemnly received the Huns envoy.
There is no doubt that Qiu Ye was well prepared. Not long after the Huns envoy entered, he walked out with a smile on his face. During this period, he was even more proud and proud.
Under the suppression of the Xiongnu mission, Qiu Yeque finally chose the Xiongnu. In their eyes, offending a Yunzhou county was far less terrible than offending us Xiongnu!
Kushan has made its choice.
Two or three days later, Ban Chao submitted several applications to the palace for an audience, but was not approved even once.
Finally on the fifth day, Qiu Ye was about to refuse the application as before, but the waiter's words made him slightly stunned!
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, the Yunzhou envoy has come to bid farewell to you!"
Qiu Ye waved his hand, picked up the booklet, and then realized that it was actually a farewell booklet.
Qiu Ye became silent. He was thinking about whether to directly capture the Yunzhou County mission and hand it over to the Huns?
However, Cigu, the Minister of Administration, said: "Your Majesty, as the head of a country, you must keep your word. Ban Chao and others are the envoys sent by Yunzhou County. Even though our two countries are at war, for the envoys from both sides, However, they must still be treated according to the etiquette of envoys, and they cannot kill people at will."
Cigu's words finally dispelled Qiu Yeque's ambition and allowed him to approve the farewell of Ban Chao and others.
However, not long after he approved Ban Chao and other Yunzhou County envoys to return, the Huns envoys suddenly received news that they were leaving for some unknown reason.
This not only made Qiu Ye a little surprised, but he agreed without thinking too much.
By the time Qiu Ye realized something was wrong, the two envoys had already packed their things and left the city.
The speed is so fast that it is simply astonishing!
Five miles outside Ankang City, Ban Chao and others are wearing armor!
That's right! It’s armor!
The group and one hundred and twenty-six envoys and officials all wore full armor. Only Abuliz was dumbfounded when he saw their actions!
"What are you doing?"
He looked at what was happening in front of him with shock on his face. Ban Chao and the others looked at each other, and then he laughed and said: Give the Xiongnu and Da Yueshi a little surprise before leaving!
Just listen to Ban Chao continue: "Originally, I was planning to wait for the Huns to come out in ambush in the suburbs for a while, but I didn't expect that they could not wait to come out just after we came out.
It seems that their target is also us, which is exactly what we want. If they want to attack us, we also want to attack them.
They would never have imagined that all of us were wearing heavy armor, and more importantly, hey! "
Ban Chao and others patted their waists, and the crossbows made two clanging sounds.
Ban Chao said with a proud smile: "With this thing, even if there are thousands of Xiongnu envoys, today we will call them come and go!"
"This is?"
This was the first time Ablizi saw the Liannu, a weapon unique to Yunzhou County. He did not understand the power of the Liannu, and Ban Chao did not explain it to him. After everyone put on their armor, he left a lot of extra things behind. The ground was hidden from view, and the remaining 126 people, together with Abuliz, moved towards the location of the Huns envoy that they had learned about before.
At this moment, in the woods where the Hun envoy was located, Jiluolahu, who was the envoy this time, was gathering two hundred people together and talking about something.
"You are all warriors of the Xiongnu. We are here carrying the hope of the Great Chanyu. The Great Chanyu hopes that Yunzhou County will fight with the Dayue clan. Therefore, we must not allow the envoys from Yunzhou County to return safely this time. Go to Yunzhou County. You will follow me later and kill this envoy completely for Shanyu's plan!
Warriors! Kill them all! "
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Two hundred Xiongnu Qingqi were waving their weapons excitedly and shouting. Jiluolahu looked at the scene with satisfaction, and then pointed the riding whip in his hand, pointed in the direction of Ban Chao and others, and launched a sneak attack!
"Go over there! Kill them all!"
With that said, more than two hundred people took advantage of the cover of the woods and quietly walked around to the left of the woods, leaving a group of logistics guards waiting in place to guard the baggage.
And when they were killing Ban Chao and others, Ban Chao and others were quietly approaching them around the right side of the woods. The two sides happened to be staggered, and no one saw the other.
When the two hundred Xiongnu arrived at their destination, they were stunned when they saw the unimportant baggage and other things left at the place. Where had the more than one hundred Yunzhou envoys gone?
But after only being stunned for a moment, the Girolla tiger reacted when he saw the deep horseshoe prints on the ground!
broken! These damn Yunzhou County people should have gone to sneak attack them!
This is simply a lack of martial ethics!
There are still more than a hundred people left in their camp to guard the baggage, but they are all logistics personnel!
Jiluolahu was shocked and hurriedly led his people back. At this time, Ban Chao had already led his people to the camp where the Xiongnu side was located. Seeing that there were only a group of logistics personnel, he was stunned at first, but then he showed a hint of A cruel smile.
Logistics is logistics, kill them all first!
Immediately he shouted: "Brothers, kill them!"
He rushed out of the forest at once and rushed towards the Huns' logistics staff who were frightened by his loud shout just now, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed behind!
The Huns' logistics personnel who stayed behind looked desperate when they saw the sudden appearance of armored cavalry rushing towards them and others!
These are all heavy armored cavalry! How are they going to block it? I can't stop it!
