Although these hundreds of masters are very powerful, but at the national level, the number of hundreds of people is very small.Which of Yan Hao's recent battles was not a large-scale battle of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands?

The same SS-level props, the same exchange price of 2 points, a [Silver Gun Efficiency Festival City] banner theory can train 10 silver gun effect guards!And these hundreds of masters, what are they compared to a 10 silver gun masters?

Not to mention hybrid rice SKU-II or Yunhua Shu brocade, which have brought huge benefits to the entire country and benefited all people.Therefore, on the whole, cultivating individual power is far inferior to developing military political economy at the national level.

Therefore, Yan Hao's attitude towards Jianghu affairs is that it is enough to maintain the imperial court's ability to control and interfere, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it. The key point is to develop the country's strength!

A total of 4 of the masters trained this time have reached the seventh stage, and they have already infinitely approached the strength of the top masters in the world, and belong to the super masters.But Yan Hao knew that this was not enough. According to what he learned from Li Bin that day, the imperial court must have top masters in the world in order to have a chance to win the championship.

Therefore, Yan Hao ordered that all the elixir made from the body of the divine beast Fengli be given to these four masters. At a critical moment, resources must be tilted to the top, and Yan Hao understands this truth very well.

A few days later, Yan Hao heard four long howls coming from the back mountain. He was very happy, knowing that the four masters had broken through the bottleneck and reached the level of top masters!Now the imperial court finally has top masters sitting in charge!

If the master-level masters are compared to nuclear weapons, which are usually not used but used as a strategic nuclear deterrent, then the top masters are actually the highest force used in actual combat in the world, equivalent to the most advanced tanks, fighter jets and medium-range weapons in the country. Missile.

When he was overjoyed, Yan Hao named the four master eunuchs "Kuijiang, Kuihe, Kuihu, and Kuihai" respectively with the word "Kui" in "Jianghehuhai" and the Sunflower Collection, and appointed them as the four masters of the East Factory. The great admiral can be said to be extremely honored.

With these four masters, together with monk Jianyun, and five top masters participating in the martial arts competition, Yan Hao can't believe that he won't be able to win a champion!

"Your Majesty, just now the empress sent someone to report that Mrs. Yaxin fell ill in the palace. Would you like to go and have a look, Your Majesty?" Yue'er came over and asked Yan Hao, who was immersed in the longing for victory.

Yan Hao hurriedly got up and drove to Weiyang Palace, Lin Peiyao took Yan Hao to Ning Yaxin's bed.

Lin Peiyao glared at Yan Hao and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Yaxin kept chanting your name when she was sick. This is a married man, let me see how you end up!" After speaking, she left angrily.

Yan Hao smiled and sat beside Ning Yaxin's bed. Ning Yaxin's face was pale, and she seemed to be seriously ill.In a daze, Ning Yaxin didn't seem to know that Yan Hao had arrived, and kept calling out "Your Majesty, Your Majesty".

Yan Hao's heart was full of pity.During this period of time, he spent a lot of time chasing this beautiful woman, took her to watch cuju and kick ball, and wrote and painted with her, finally planted his own shadow deeply in the beautiful woman's heart.

"Your Majesty, you are here." Yan Hao gently held Ning Yaxin's wrist, and the beautiful woman came to her senses, and shyly pulled her hand away.

"Ya Xin, don't you understand my intention?" Yan Hao grabbed the beautiful woman's catkin with his backhand and said affectionately.

Ning Yaxin shed two lines of tears: "Huanjun Pearl's tears are shedding, I wish we could meet each other when I was not married. Your Majesty, I am already a married man, please forget about me."

Yan Hao said anxiously: "Ya Xin, if Ning Ke is willing to divorce you, I can marry you into the palace again!"

Ning Yaxin shook her head: "My husband will never agree."

Yan Hao said: "If you don't try, how will you know? If I succeed, you will obediently join my harem. If I fail, I will also let you out of the palace. But until the matter is settled, I will not overdo it with you." Do you think it's okay?"

Ning Yaxin stared blankly at Yan Hao for a long time, and suddenly her face turned red, she lowered her head shyly, expressing her acquiescence.

Chapter 280

Just as the No. [-] Martial Arts Association in the capital was in full swing, Ban Chao, who had always been triumphant in the Western Regions, encountered great difficulties.

The current situation is like this. Countries such as Shule, Loulan, Qiemo, Xiaowan, Cheshi, and Khotan in the Western Regions have already attached themselves to the Great Wei, and many countries have expressed their favor to Ban Chao. Control about a quarter of the territory of the Western Regions.

But Ban Chao's actions in the Western Regions caused great panic among the people in Rouran in the east.The Western Regions have always been a barrier to the west of Rouran and a strategic location used to deal with the Great Wei.Once the Western Regions were annexed by the Great Wei, Rouran would fall into the embarrassing situation of being surrounded by the Great Wei on the west and south, and surrounded by the Xiongnu on the east and north.

In order to prevent this from happening, Rouran secretly provided support to some countries in the Western Regions who were unwilling to submit to Wei, and instigated them to unite against Wei.

So with the support of Rouran, the four great powers of the Western Regions, Yanqi, Dawan, Qiuci, and Huaguo, joined forces to brazenly attack the territory controlled by Banchao, even including elite mercenaries from Rouran.

Ban Chao has only 5 horses in his hands, and he is attached to a country with a small power in the Western Regions. How can he resist the joint attack of these big countries?He was forced to give up Qiemo and Xiaowan successively, and retreated to Shule State.

It was with the military support of Ban Chao that Shule Kingdom was freed from the claws of Qiuci Kingdom. The people here were all grateful to Ban Chao and resolutely defended the rule of the Wei Dynasty, so Ban Chao was able to temporarily hold on to Shule City.

However, as the coalition forces became stronger and stronger, Banchao was short of men and suffered several defeats in succession. Finally, he had no choice but to abandon Shule for the time being and continue to retreat to Khotan.

Li Yan, the captain of Shule, knelt down to persuade Ban Chao not to leave: "If you leave us, we will be destroyed by Qiuci again. Do you have the heart to see this happen?"

Ban Chao sighed and said, "The Great Wei will not give up Shule, a loyal vassal state. But right now I am really powerless to contend with the coalition forces in Kucha, so I can only temporarily retreat and apply for reinforcements from the imperial court. Don't worry, wait for the imperial court's royal division Arrive, I will definitely come back to rescue you!"

Li Yan shook his head, and said sadly: "I'm afraid that if we don't wait for the soldiers and horses from the court, our Shule Kingdom will be devastated!"

"Forget it, since you insist on leaving, my lord, and I am unable to protect the Liming people of Shule Kingdom, then I can only apologize with death!"

After all, Li Yan drew out his sword, and before Ban Chao could react, he wiped his neck and killed himself on the spot!

Ban Chao never expected that Li Yan would make such a tragic move. He was shocked and heartbroken, but in the end he reluctantly gave up Shule under the persuasion of his subordinates and retreated to Khotan City.

After receiving Ban Chao's report, Yan Hao thought twice, and finally thought that with Rouran's support, it would be a dream to annex the Western Regions with 5 troops.If Ban Chao stays any longer, it will not be worth the loss if the pillar of the country is broken, so it is decided to temporarily let Ban Chao withdraw from the Western Regions.

Liang Qiuhao was responsible for passing Yan Hao's will to Ban Chao.The former Yunzhou Jiedu envoy was sent to the Western Regions after he surrendered to the imperial court. Unfortunately, he did not achieve any good diplomatic results, and even failed to buy a Dawan horse from the Dawan Kingdom.Nevertheless, his familiarity with the Western Regions allowed him to undertake this mission.

After reading the imperial decree brought by Liang Qiuhao, Ban Chao sighed and said, "Okay, then we can only obey the emperor's decree."

Chapter 281 Wusun King

Ban Chao went out of the mansion and saw the king of Khotan leading thousands of people kneeling at his door and crying loudly.King Khotan burst into tears and said: "We rely on the favor of Wei, just like a lonely child depends on his parents. If Wei abandoned us, how can we children cope with hungry wolves like Qiuci? "

Many people even stepped forward and hugged the legs of Ban Chao's steed, trying to persuade him to stay.

Ban Chao bowed his head and remained silent for a long time. He remembered the oath he made in front of Yan Hao the day he left the capital, and the scene when Li Yan killed himself.

He raised his head, took a deep breath and said to Liang Qiuhao: "General Liang, please go back and tell Your Majesty that I, Ban Chao, swear to live and die with the Western Regions. If I fail to pacify the Western Regions, I will have no face to go back to face the Holy Spirit, so please Your Majesty as me." Die in battle in the Western Regions!"

Liang Qiuhao was shocked, and dissuaded him: "Sir Ban Chao, those who know the current affairs are outstanding. If the green hills remain, there will be no worries about no firewood. The imperial court cannot use large-scale military forces in the Western Regions, but it is limited by the fact that the autumn grain has not been collected. Just wait for the next year's grain. If you have plenty, you can march in a large scale, so why should Mr. Ban Chao insist on defending?"

Ban Chao said: "The general is out, and the king's life is not acceptable. General Liang, this old man has already made this decision, so you don't need to say more. I, Ban Chao, haven't lost yet. I will let these barbarians from the Western Regions witness my great Wei glory! "

Liang Qiuhao was originally a man of love, otherwise he would not have resolutely turned his face to the court just because of Yan Hao's letter.Infected by Ban Chao's arrogance, he said loudly: "In that case, I, Liang Qiuhao, will also stay and help the general!"

The two looked at each other, and both saw the heroic spirit in each other's eyes.

……

The reason why Ban Chao didn't completely give up hope was because he thought that there was still a country in the Western Regions that could provide him with reinforcements.That is Wusun.

In the Western Regions, Wusun is a very special existence. Its population is not the largest in the Western Regions, and its land area is not the largest in the Western Regions, but no one dares to mess with this country!

The reason is that every Wusun man is a natural marksman. The men here have received strict military training since they were young. As long as the country needs it, any adult Wusun man can immediately become a powerful bowman hand.

This is also the reason why such a small country with a population of less than 50 can claim to have [-] bow masters.

Ban Chao stood in the palace of King Wusun and told King Wusun his request for help from Wusun.

King Wusun sneered and said, "You Han people have wolfish ambitions for the Western Regions, don't you think I don't know? I would rather the Western Regions be monopolized by a few big powers than fall into the hands of outsiders."

Ban Chao smiled and said, "My lord, I wonder if you have ever heard the story of the lips dying and the teeth cold?"

King Wusun said nothing, but Ban Chao continued:

"In ancient times, there were two small countries, A and B, who were neighbors. One day, a big country wanted to use the road of A to attack B, and gave generous gifts to the king of A. A minister of A persuaded the king: A and B are closely related. If we lose our lips, our teeth will also feel cold. If we allow country B to be captured, country A will not be far away. The king refused to listen and insisted on giving people to the big country, and the country died in the end."

"Your Majesty, Wusun and Shule, Khotan and other countries also have such a close relationship. Do you really think that after Kucha and Dawan destroyed Khotan, they will not come to deal with you next time? Even if you have a hundred thousand Bow masters, can they really stop the siege of the coalition forces?"
