Chapter 243
Tuban shrank his eyes, subconsciously avoided Liang Xiao's gaze, and then realized that he was too weak, so he quickly turned his head around, straightened his back, raised his head, and said loudly: "Who said we can't beat the moon?" Clan, a few years ago, we just defeated the Yue Clan and drove them across Congling."

His voice was loud, but without the momentum just now.Compared to the calm Liang Xiao, he obviously lacked confidence.

Tuban was very disturbed.

He was sent to Dawan as an envoy, with the main task of destroying the relationship between Dahan and Dawan, and forcing Dawan to form an alliance with Wusun to attack the Yuezhi together.He is no stranger to Liang Xiao, the envoy of the big man.Liang Xiao shot and killed Gu Luhu before the battle, and took his body away.King Hunxie led thousands of fine cavalry to hunt down Liang Xiao but failed, but Liang Xiao took his head off.Although this matter was forbidden by Wu Dan and Lie Jiaomi to discuss it, it has been spread in private.

After entering Dawan, Tuban heard about the extravagance of the Han envoys, the guards composed of twenty Greeks, more than 20 young Han knights, all dressed in brocade clothes, riding steeds, and the Wusun envoys wearing only sheepskins. Compared with them, Tuan was extremely shabby.

Although Tuban has been unwilling to admit it, he actually already has timidity in his heart.He has no confidence in such a rich and surprisingly strong opponent.He had been encouraging himself to overwhelm Liang Xiao in terms of momentum, so he did not hesitate to speak wild words to the Dawan monarch and ministers, trying to grab the head start.Unexpectedly, as soon as Liang Xiao appeared, he would expose his reality and make him reveal his original shape.

Of course, Wusun didn't have a hundred thousand elite riders. If he really had such strength, he would have entered Dawan a long time ago, so why would he be sent as an envoy.

"You once defeated the Yuezhi, but that was the skill of the Huns. What does it have to do with you Wusun? You don't have the territory you snatched from the Yuezhi. You can't even eat, so you want the Huns to reward you?" Liang Xiao was not in a hurry, his words were sarcasm. "There are [-] fine cavalry, and you need the help of the Huns to attack the Yuezhi who has already been defeated by you once?"

Tuban was speechless.

"Even if you have [-] fine cavalry, so what? Can you march thousands of miles? King Hunxie led thousands of cavalry to chase and kill them for thousands of miles. What's the result?" Liang Xiao turned around and winked at Mo Cai .Mocai understood, and immediately had people present the heads and armor of King Hunxie and his son.

"Do you know him?" Liang Xiao chuckled, winking at Tuban.

Tuban didn't look at the head, it was already rotten, and there was a foul smell.He stared at the armor and looked again and again. Guluhu's armor had a distinctive style, and he recognized it at a glance.King Hunxie's helmet also had an obvious mark, and he confirmed that it was correct.

"Sure enough, you killed it!"

"That's right, I killed it." Liang Xiao laughed out loud. "At that time, I only had nine people. Thousands of Xiongnu horsemen chased me for four or five thousand miles. Am I still standing here?"

Tuban's face was cloudy and uncertain.He knew what Liang Xiao said was true, and he also knew that the reason why King Hunxie died was because he violated the common sense of using troops and pursued him for thousands of miles, which had nothing to do with courting death.At the end of the chase, only a hundred or so people could really catch up with Liang Xiao and the others, and the rest fell behind.

Dawan's monarch and ministers exclaimed "Wow", and immediately became lively, whispering and inquiring about each other's news.They didn't know about this matter. When they heard the Tuban accuse Liang Xiao of killing the father and son of King Hunxie, they didn't expect it to be like this. They just thought that the two sides were equal in strength, fighting directly, or meeting each other on a narrow road. Liang Xiao was lucky. Well, got it by chance.Now that he heard that he was being chased by thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, Liang Xiao was stunned when he beheaded King Hunxie and his son.

No one can believe that such a thing is true, but judging by Tuban's face, it is likely to be true.

Is this young man of the Han family the reincarnation of the God of War, so powerful?
Some people had already thought that the person who had strung the strong bow just now might be the young man of the Han family, and suddenly realized.This young man can use such a strong bow, so the force must be strong, and it is also possible to shoot and kill King Hunxie and his son in the chaos.

Under everyone's attention, Liang Xiao walked up to that Wusun attendant, took the already-stringed bow from his hand, held the bow in his left hand, and drew the string with his right hand, and stretched it to full length easily, back and forth three times, and then turned to Tuban.

"You just said that the Xiongnu Chanyu gave three bows, what are they called the sky bow, the earth bow, and the human bow. I want to ask, when you brought the human bow to Dawan, who owns the bow and the earth bow that day? Liejiaomi's Yan family is the daughter of King Hunxie, what kind of bow does she keep, the heavenly bow or the earthly bow?"

The sudden class hesitated to speak, not knowing how to respond.

But Luo Xuli could hear clearly all of a sudden, and immediately realized the problem.No matter what bow the Hunxie King's daughter kept, she was the most powerful Yan family in Wusun, and she was the most powerful Yan family in Wusun. If she married Wusun, she would have to face this Yan family.Dawan's strength is not enough, it is almost impossible for her to stand up.With her father's cowardly character, I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to support her.

It's so dangerous, this is simply an abyss, I almost ruined my happiness once.

"You don't even have the confidence to attack the Yuezhi, and you still have the guts to attack Dawan? Shannanshanbei, which way are you going to go? If you come to attack Dawan, you are not afraid that the territory that has not been warmed up just now will be taken by the Yuezhi people Take it back?"

Suddenly the class collapsed completely.This question can be said to have touched Wusun's weakness.There is no doubt that Wusun's current enemy is Su Qiuyuezhi.Yuezhi is at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, and Dawan is at the northwest of Tianshan Mountain.Before they completely defeated the Yuezhi and drove them out of Congling, the Wusun people had no energy left to attack Dawan.

This sentence completely exposed the details of Wusun people. Even the translator realized the importance of this sentence, and deliberately raised the volume so that every Dawan person in the hall could hear clearly.

Dawan monarch and ministers let out a sigh of relief, the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Mei Cai also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Liang Xiao's back with joy.He only knew that Liang Xiao was brave and powerful, but he didn't expect Liang Xiao to know more about strategy, and he saw through the reality of the Wusun people all at once.In this way, he, the deputy king who has always supported and defended Liang Xiao, has completed his merits and virtues.

In the face of Liang Xiao's sharp attack, Tuban was completely defeated, dripping with cold sweat, no longer had the arrogance just now, and turned to ask for peace in a low voice, willing to form an alliance with Dawan, and jointly deal with Yueshi.

The Dawan people are very interested in this point, after all the Yuezhi people are also their enemies.The Yuezhi people invaded the land in Hezhong, which caused great harm to them.

Liang Xiao did not participate in this discussion.He is an envoy of the Han Dynasty, so it is not good for him to interfere too much in Dawan's state affairs.He can only influence through ignorance, indirect, and cannot speak directly.Fortunately, taking this opportunity, he finally officially made his appearance in front of Dawan's monarch and ministers, and gained a good impression.He took advantage of the opportunity to present a gift to King Dawan and proposed a cooperative relationship.

In front of Tuban, he did not mention attacking the Huns.First of all, he had a clear understanding of Dawan's strength - to deal with the Xiongnu, Dawan could not count on it at all.Secondly, he also had a certain understanding of the mentality of Dawan's monarchs and ministers. Such people can only live in peace and contentment. Letting them fight against the Huns is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree. It's useless to say.

The silk fabrics sent by Liang Xiao were put together with the horses and furs sent by the Wusun people, and the Dawan people expressed completely different attitudes without any hesitation.

The silk from the big man was what they longed for, but the things from the Wusun people were all they had, or even inferior to theirs, which did not appeal to them at all.In addition, the arrogance of the former Tuban left a bad impression on them. Almost no one is willing to take a second look at the gifts of the Wusun people, and they all praise the big man's silk. Speak up, share some oil and water, or find a chance to meet the Han envoy.

Liang Xiao picked out the most beautiful velvet brocade and presented it to Luo Xuli.

The velvet ring brocade is a special variety of Han brocade. On the woven surface, there are sparse and scattered patterns with distinct layers. It has a strong three-dimensional effect and looks very thick. It is most suitable for winter clothing.The production of this kind of brocade is limited, Nie Yi only received a dozen or so pieces, and Liang Xiao originally planned to give it to the legendary Queen Yuezhi.

Luo Xuli couldn't put it down, her blue eyes sparkled.

King Dawan held a state banquet, and invited Liang Xiao and Tuban to sit down.In order to avoid conflicts between the two envoys because of their seats, the King of Dawan asked Mei Cai to accompany Liang Xiao to sit on the right side, and another deputy Wang Chanfeng to accompany Tuban to sit on the left side.Liang Xiao and Tuban sat opposite each other.Tuban stared at Liang Xiao from time to time, his eyes were fierce, but he was helpless.Liang Xiao ignored him at all, and with the help of an interpreter, he chatted happily with the nobleman in Dawan, enjoying himself.

Like Han people, Dawan people also like singing and dancing.After drinking for three rounds, everyone began to fight and dance.Mei Cai invited him to dance, but Liang Xiao declined politely, and went forward to dance once.He first danced a Chinese dance, and then danced a Greek dance he learned from Paris and others.Although the dance was not very proficient, it well reflected my respect for the people of Dawan and won a lot of applause.

In contrast, Tuban is not good, he can only dance Wusun style dance.Similar to the Xiongnu and Yueshi, Wusun is a nomadic people, with rough and simple dancing postures, full of primitive sense of power.But the Dawan people, especially the Dawan nobles here have always regarded themselves as Greek remnants. They even speak similar to Greek, and the words they use are all Latin. In their eyes, nomads are barbarians. You have to go to the sudden class dance.

Almost without comparison, Liang Xiao completely defeated Tuban and successfully established a civilized image of a big man, while Tuban became a pitiful foil.If it weren't for the lingering fear of the bow that Tuban brought, Dawan's monarch and ministers would have liked to drive Tuban out.

After the banquet, accompanied by Mei Cai, Liang Xiao left the palace.

On the way, Mei Cai was in the same car as Liang Xiao, and he asked Liang Xiao a question: "Is your envoy still going to Yuezhi?"
