Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 209 talk on paper
Liang Xiao woke up dizzy, his mouth was dry, and he moaned: "Water, I want to drink water."

There was a voice in his ear, but he couldn't understand a word.Liang Xiao reluctantly opened his eyes, the white flowers in front of his eyes seemed to be a person.He was startled, and before he had time to think about it, he kicked up and kicked the man down.

"Alas—" a cry came out.This time Liang Xiao understood, and he couldn't help but get a black line on his forehead.Isn't this the Hun girl? How did she get into my bed?He turned over and got out of bed, walked around the sobbing Hun girl twice, rubbing his hands together.

The girl was naked, her snow-white skin glowing warmly under the flickering light.She folded her arms to cover her body, tears flowed down her cheeks, her eyes were red and swollen, like ripe peaches.

"You...how did you get on my bed?" Liang Xiao was a little flustered, and wanted to pull her up, but there was nowhere to touch her, and he was at a loss.

The girl was just crying, unable to understand what Liang Xiao was saying.Liang Xiao had no choice but to point to the bed, signaling her to go to bed first.The girl understood, and reluctantly climbed onto the bed, got into the thin quilt, and curled up into a ball.Liang Xiao pulled a pair of trousers on and put them on, and then called out, "Niu'er, Niu'er?"

Pang Shuo walked in with strides. "My lord, what's the matter?"

"What's going on here?" Liang Xiao asked, pointing to the shivering Hun girl on the bed. "How did she get into my bed?"

Pang Shuo took it for granted. "She is a captive of the lord. Of course, she must be enjoyed by the lord. Could it be cheaper for those rough men? Why, she can't serve people, which annoys the lord. It's no wonder that Master Mei said she is the daughter of a powerful family." , I think I have never served anyone before."

Liang Xiao quickly interrupted Pang Shuo.What is it all about. "Where's Niu'er? Didn't I tell him that if I'm drunk, I can't let others get close to me, how could he forget?"

"I know this, Niu'er told me." Pang Shuo patted his chest. "Don't worry, my lord. This woman can't understand a word of Chinese. It doesn't matter even if my lord scolds the emperor. Oh, my lord, are you worried about Weng Zhu Huainan? It doesn't matter. Weng lord Huainan is not a stingy person. She..."

"Get out!" Liang Xiao couldn't listen anymore.This guy is so talkative?Found it for the first time today. "Get some water, I'm dying of thirst. Forget it, forget it, I'd better go out and drink."

When Liang Xiao went out, he saw Mei Gao sitting on the porch holding his legs, shaking his head and muttering something.Seeing Liang Xiao, he smiled and waved. "Ah Xiao, come sit down, there is water here."

Liang Xiao sat down, Mei Gao took a cup and poured him a glass of water.Liang Xiao took it over and took a look at Mei Gao. "why are you still awake?"

"Maybe it's been away from home for a long time, and I suddenly think of my family, so I can't sleep for a while." Mei Gao hugged her knees, rested her chin on her knees, and looked up at the waning moon in the sky. "Ah Xiao, tell me, will the moonlight shine on Liang Guo?"

Liang Xiao pouted. "Let's not talk about Liang Guo, the whole world is just such a moon. Do you think it can be illuminated?"

"Even if it can be illuminated, there is a difference. For example, with the same sun, the south is much hotter than the north. With the same emperor, the people in this county don't enjoy as much favor as the people in Chang'an."

Liang Xiao was speechless.This literati is a literati, and his thinking is too jumpy.You are worthy of being an expert in writing big fuss, and you can speak well.

"I just asked that woman. Her name is..." Mei Gao bit her tongue, made an awkward sound, and then said: "In Chinese, it means moon. Her horse is also called the same The name is said to be a good horse from the Western Regions. But she is not from the Huns."

"Not from the Huns?" Liang Xiao thought about it and thought it was right.This woman is indeed far from ordinary Huns.According to ethnicity, the Huns actually look similar to the Han people, they are all Asians, and this woman looks a bit like a European.

"Their tribe comes from the east of the snow-capped mountains, and they are descendants of the Donghu who were conquered by the Huns."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but slapped his head.That's right, the Donghu people—the later Xianbei people are said to be the same, with fair skin, yellow beard and hair, and some have blue eyes.

"The Huns have been hit by snowstorms in the past few years, and the situation is not very good. They need to get money, food, and cloth from us to tide over the difficulties. There are differences among the Huns on how to get it. Some people want to make peace with the Han people, and some want to rob directly. The meeting in Dragon City One of the purposes of the meeting was to discuss this issue, but the result is still unresolved, and may not be resolved until July."

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. "Ziru, do you have any ideas?"

Mei Gao nodded. "That's right, I want to take this opportunity to enter the grassland to check the reality. After all, the Empress Dowager is still here, and there are many people in the court who adhere to the way of Huang Lao. For a while, it is difficult for the ministers of the court to support the suggestion of sending troops to crusade. It would be good if we can procrastinate for a while with the marriage."

Liang Xiao frowned and pondered for a while. "Aren't you worried that you will follow in Gongsun Hong's footsteps?"

"Of course I'm worried. But isn't the purpose of our mission to be His Majesty's eyes and ears to check on the situation of the Huns? Wouldn't it be contrary to the original intention to encourage His Majesty to send troops with self-interest before the time comes?"

Liang Xiao was a little ashamed of himself.On this issue, he is not as frank as a real Han.

"Since that's the case, what kind of moon did you send to my bed?"

Mei Gao laughed. "This is what she said herself. The people on the grassland believe in the strong. She said that you are the strongest among these people, so she is willing to attach herself to you."

"Fart!" Liang Xiao spat. "Crying like that voluntarily? Both eyes are crying like peaches."

"Because she originally wanted to marry the eagle on the prairie, Zuo Gu Li Wang Yi Zhixie."

"Pfft!" Liang Xiao spouted out all the water he just drank, his eyes widened.Yi Zhixie?This name is very familiar.Could it be that later Hun Shanyu Yizhixie?If it is true, this girl's background is really not small.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Liang Xiao's strange expression, Mei Gao asked with concern.

"It's okay." Liang Xiao shook his head, but secretly muttered in his heart.If you put aside the relationship between the enemy and us, Yi Zhixie can be regarded as a character, and it is not bad to be able to compete with him for women.However, going to bed without a foundation of feelings at all, and doing something like that, isn't it a bit... too sloppy?
Hearing the indistinct sound of gunfire in the courtyard next door, Liang Xiao secretly sighed.I'm still some distance away from being a real ranger.

After staying in Shanwu City for two days, the custom-made armor and weapons were in place, and Xie Guanglong led them to register.Although a city was set up at the border to trade with the Hu people, the imperial court had very strict control over strategic materials.War horses, copper and iron wares, and salt are all under control, and the basic principle is to allow entry and exit strictly.Liang Xiao and others had to carry a large amount of iron armor and weapons to leave the customs. They had to register and obtain a certificate from the prefect's mansion before they could leave the customs.

After all the formalities were completed, Liang Xiao and his party left Shanwu City and headed north via Wuzhou Sai.Before leaving, he left Miss Moon in Shanwu City, only rode her horse away, and then gave up his green horse to Pang Shuo.Pang Shuo was too tall, without a suitable horse, it was difficult for him to keep up with Liang Xiao's pace, and he couldn't play its due role.

After getting a good horse, Pang Shuo was so happy that he couldn't put it down.

The same goes for fellow Xie Guanglong and others.Putting on brand new iron armor, they are happier than New Year.Iron armor's protection ability is much stronger than that of leather armor. On the battlefield where arrows are flying randomly, as long as you don't encounter archery masters like Liang Xiao, it is difficult for ordinary archers to shoot through iron armor, and even if they do, it is unlikely to be fatal.With iron armor, it is equivalent to an extra life.

Not only that, Liang Xiao also made a small change to the iron armor.The front and back pieces of the iron armor were originally separated, and they were fastened with ropes around the shoulders, armpits, and waist when wearing them.Liang Xiao thought it was troublesome, so he asked the cobbler to connect the front and back pieces together, and put the opening on the front, a bit like the vest of later generations.Usually put it in the luggage, when you wear it, put it on your head, cover your chest, hook and buckle it, it is convenient and quick.

For this, Liang Xiao paid nearly [-] more money.However, Liang Xiao felt that the money was well spent, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and it could save a little time, and perhaps give him one more chance to survive.Instead of paying pensions for those who die in battle in the future, it is better to spend more money on equipment so that they can increase their chances of surviving.

The knights were grateful for Liang Xiao's generosity, and they were very dedicated in doing things. Without Xie Guanglong's orders, they galloped back and forth to ensure safety.

Under the careful protection of the knights, Ma Rong devoted himself to drawing the map.After several days of practice, he has become familiar with these new tools and can draw pictures with ease.Every time a piece of sheepskin is painted, it is rolled up and hidden in the interlayer of the carriage.

Considering that the historical ambush took place in Mayi, Liang Xiao did not rush out of the fortress, but took a turn around the northern part of Yanmen.Before accepting Huan Yuan's dictation of the art of war, Liang Xiao had heard Huan Yuan talk about the importance of terrain. Now that he practiced it himself, the more he watched it, the more he felt that Mayi's plot was almost a trifle.

The reason is simple, Mayi is in the south of Yanmen County, close to Yanmen Pass.The Huns came from the grasslands. If they wanted to reach Mayi, they had to go through the Great Wall from Wuzhou, and then go south for two or three hundred miles.This section of the road is not as sparsely populated as outside the Great Wall. There are several counties. It is definitely impossible to move all these people away.If they don't move away, confidentiality will become a big problem.

Mayi's plot failed in the end, it seems that it was because of the leak.

Before that, Liang Xiao still felt that the captain was wrong, but now that he saw the actual terrain, he felt that even if the captain didn't leak the secret, others would.Unless the Huns were so conceited that they were blind, Mayi's plot would not be successful.

Isn't Wang Hui from Bianjun? How could he devise such a mentally handicapped tactic? It's obviously not feasible.

Liang Xiao was also worried that he had misread it, so he took the opportunity to talk to Xie Guanglong and asked a question: "If you wanted to ambush the Huns, where would you choose?"

Xie Guanglong thought for a while: "Daidang City, or between Zhuwenze and Yanze, the best location is Zhuwenze. If the Huns want to fetch water, they must stay in Zhuwenze, where it is convenient for ambush."

"Can you lure the Huns to Senai, such as Mayi or Shanwu?"

"Ha!" Xie Guanglong laughed exaggeratedly: "How is it possible, unless the head of the Huns was kicked by a horse."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything.He didn't feel that the Huns' brains were kicked by horses, he felt that Wang Hui's brains were kicked by horses.He was so talented, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was known as the hero of a generation, actually listened to his suggestion, and he could only say that no one is perfect, and no matter how smart people are, there are times when they are stupid.

It is true that war is not something that can be done just by reading military books. If the terrain is not actually considered, the tactics designed must be wrong. Talking about war on paper will inevitably fail in the end.

Such stupidity must not be allowed to happen.
