Ban Chao led a group of people to return to their teachers, and after seeing Dou Gu, he reported what had happened in the past truthfully. Dou Gu was very happy, and after listening, he described what Ban Chao had done and what he had accomplished, and asked Emperor Liu Zhuang to send more emissaries to the Western Regions in order to expand the results of the war.
Emperor Ming also admired Ban Chao, thinking that he was a rare talent, so he issued a decree to Dou Gu, ”Why doesn't someone like Ban Chao, who has the courage and scheming, continue to send him out to the Western Regions and choose someone else? It would be better to just promote Ban Chao to the position of Military Chief and let him complete his mission. ”
Dou Gu thought that Ban Chao had too few men, so he wanted to give him more men. Ban Chao said, ”The original thirty plus people risked their lives for me. I only need to bring them with me. What's more, there was also Chen Mu and Wang Zhi, who were both in charge of the city? If there's anything I need, I can just ask him for help. ”
Dou Gu immediately agreed, but this time Ban Chao once again forced the Western Region, and the situation changed considerably. It turned out that Wang Guangde of the Tung Nation had just broken through the Sha Chariot, and was dominating on the south road of the Tianshan Mountains. The Northern Huns had sent messengers to Yutang to protect it, but in reality, they were holding the great power of Yantang, and Ban Chao's departure was not smooth, so someone asked Ban Chao for help from Chen Min. Ban Chao shook his head and said, ”That's not appropriate. Once Chen Mu helps, there will be war. The Western Region's military and civilians have had a few days of peace. We should continue to farm and recuperate.”
However, it had been some time since he had parted from Chen Mu. Ban Chao also missed him and wanted to see him. However, he was worried that all of Yu Tian's efforts would be wasted, so he wrote a letter and sent it to someone else.
The general meaning of the letter was: Originally, I thought that with this meritorious service, Lord Dou would ask my foolish brother to return to Luoyang. Unexpectedly, the Emperor gave me the honor of sending my foolish brother to travel to the Western Regions again. Then he reminded Chen Muyi to set up a beacon on the main road in order to spread the news.
After receiving the letter, Chen Mubai was naturally very happy. He asked the messenger to bring back Ajie to Ban Chao and wrote back: This horse is very famous, and is also a fine young horse. He passed it on to his elder brother as a token of his gratitude, hoping that he would be able to reunite with his younger brother as soon as possible, and that his younger brother would miss his elder brother very much.
Although the letter wasn't long, it was a short sentence that came from the heart. Chen Mubai was in a good mood when he saw the messenger off. He went back to his residence with a smile on his face. As soon as he entered the room, he was stopped by Yin Ping. She asked excitedly, ”Brother Mubai, is there a letter?”
Chen Nu smiled. ”I was just about to tell you that Elder Brother sent a second mission to the Western Regions. I didn't expect that you would be able to meet us in just a few days.”
However, Yin Ping said, ”I don't care if he comes or not. I only ask you, did the letter mention Yu'er's whereabouts?”
Chen Mu was stunned. ”This …” That is not mentioned. ”
Hearing that, Yin Ping immediately turned around, ”Seeing how happy you are, I thought that you found Yu'er, but it turns out that it's just because Ban Chao sent a mission to the Western Regions.” Have you forgotten about Yu'er's life and death? ”
”How could I forget? Brother is busy with military matters, or perhaps he is afraid of you and me, so he did not mention it. I believe he will do his best to deliver the news.”
Yin Ping snorted lightly, ”It's possible for him to be busy with military matters, but it's hard to say if he will do his best to find Yu'er.” After all, it's not his child. ”
”Madam, it's always a good thing to be able to reunite with your brother. Why are you so depressed? ”After so long, I don't know how many people I've sent to find Yu Er, but all I received was news about the Heavenly Path.”
