Brief introduction of Ban Chao's story of joining the army

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous general named Ban Chao. He was ambitious since he was a child. Because of his poor family, Ban Chao found a job of copying books for others to earn money to support his family. But Ban Chao is a man with lofty aspirations. After a long time, he is no longer willing to do this boring copying work.

One day, when he was copying a book, he felt bored. He couldn't help but stand up, put down his pen and said, "Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian were born in the Western Han Dynasty and made great contributions to the Western Han Dynasty.

Brave people should make contributions on the battlefield like them, how can they waste their lives on such a trivial matter as copying and writing! "Later, Ban Chao went to the western regions, and finally made contributions and was blocked. Later, he became a general and won the war against Xiongnu. Then, he suggested dealing with western countries in order to jointly deal with the Huns.

In 73 AD, the court adopted Ban Chao's suggestion and sent him to the Western Regions again. Ban Chao overcame many difficulties, contacted dozens of countries in the western regions to jointly deal with the Huns, and made outstanding contributions to defending the country. To drop one's pen and join the army means to drop one's pen and join the army, which means that literati join the army.
