Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 260
Liang Xiao got his wish and stood in front of Queen Yuezhi.

Queen Yuezhi didn't pay much attention to the gift he presented; she only took a look at the treasured sword he took out before gently putting it down.When he offered the black bow with both hands, Queen Yueshi took it and hugged it in her arms, tears welled up in her eyes, and the whitewash on her face melted away in an instant.

Liang Xiao had already heard from Ashena that the three bows bestowed by the Huns to the people of heaven and earth were taken from the hands of the Yuezhi people. These three bows were all treasures of the Yuezhi royal family, and they were the favorite of the Yuezhi old king. The things have been handed over to Yan's for safekeeping.In order to protect these three bows, the queen almost lost her life.

After 30 years, seeing this bow again, the queen must feel very uncomfortable.

Let her cry for a while.She might be able to think of the headless corpse of Old King Yueshi and feel guilty.In order to accomplish the task and break the right arm of the Huns, I can only be so cruel.

It took a while for the queen to hold back her tears, and solemnly handed the bow back to Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao was happy in his heart, but his face was still solemn. "Her Royal Highness, if you miss this bow, I am willing to dedicate this bow to you."

After listening to the translation, the queen shook her head with emotion. "On the prairie, only the strong can survive. This bow you took from the Wusun people is your trophy. If I want it, I can either challenge you or buy it from you. Challenge, I I can't find such a warrior; I don't have the strength to redeem it."

Liang Xiao was very surprised.Although this bow is precious, isn't it that even the dignified queen can't afford to redeem it?

"Young man, do you know why this bow is so strong? Do you know what the sky bow and earth bow look like?"

Liang Xiao shook his head and bowed. "Please ask Her Majesty the Queen to clarify."

"The strength of a bow lies in its wood, and its tendons and horns. Although the high-quality Zhe wood used for this bow is rare, it is not uncommon. The tendons and horns of this bow are the most precious." The queen wiped away her tears and looked at the bow. Looking at Liang Xiao, there was a little more kindness in his eyes. "This is the tendon horn of a wild yak in the Kunlun snow region. A yak horn is equivalent to a healthy ox. Healthy ox is common, but yak horns are hard to find, and it is even rarer to be able to make bows with yak horns, so this bow Thousands of dollars are hard to find."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized.No wonder this bow is much harder than ordinary bows. It was originally made from the horns of wild yaks.

Five materials are needed to make a compound bow: wood, tendons, horns, silk, and lacquer. The first three are the main factors that determine the strength of the bow.Generally speaking, the slower something grows, the better it is, and this is true for plants as well as for animals.The wild yak living in the snow-covered plateau is undoubtedly one of them.It is also reasonable that the bow made of its tendons and horns is stronger than the tendons and horns of ordinary animals.

"The three bows of heaven, earth and man, the sky bow is the strongest, the earth bow is the second, and the human bow is the weakest. The strength of the human bow is three times that of ordinary bows, the power of the earth bow is three times that of the human bow, and the power of the sky bow is the earth. Three times the size of a bow. A human bow can only be used by a hero among men, and an earth bow can only be used by a peerless hero. As for the sky bow..." The queen laughed lightly and shook her head. "Maybe only the legendary generals can use it."

Liang Xiao was dubious.General?That's outrageous too.However, if the power of the Heavenly Bow is really that strong, I am afraid that only legendary heroes can use it.The human bow is already more than two stones, and the sky bow is nine times that of the human bow, so it costs about twenty stones.As far as he knew, the strongest crossbow of a big man was nothing more than this, and it was simply impossible to pull it away with human power.

"Back when the old king was able to use a human bow to dominate the grassland, the Huns had no choice but to bow their heads and surrender their pledges for peace. The old king's strength was weak, and no one in the Yue clan could draw the bow, so they were defeated by the Huns."

The Queen let out a long sigh, her eyes were lonely and sad, she was immersed in Yueshi's past glory and self-blame and couldn't extricate herself.

Liang Xiao watched quietly, lowered his head, and looked at the black bow in his hand, his blood boiling.Old King Yueshi can rule the grassland with this bow, can I also use this bow to make contributions and expand the territory?
"It's God's will that this human bow fell into your hands." The queen took a deep look at Liang Xiao. "Tell me, how can we repel the Wusun people and maintain peace together?"

Liang Xiao knew that the critical moment had come.The queen of the Yue family can preside over important events for more than [-] years as a female stream, and has won the support of many strong Yue family members, so there must be something extraordinary.Looking at her like this, it should not be victory in force, but wisdom.It is impossible to convince such a person without presenting something genuine.

She is not a little girl like Luo Xuli.

Fortunately, he has been preparing for this moment for a long time, so he is naturally full of confidence at this moment.

Liang Xiao turned around and waved. Pang Shuo carried a map, which was drawn with a whole cowhide.For this map, Liang Xiao and Guo Wenbin spent two days and also referred to the opinions of the accompanying Greek veterans.It can be said that this is a map called a treasure.

The reason is very simple, he is the only one who can have a comprehensive understanding of the area in the middle of the river.Those veterans may be familiar with the details, but in terms of the overall concept, no one can compare with him, who has seen countless world maps.

Seeing the map, the queen's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Liang Xiao with a little more appreciation and confidence.

Liang Xiao smiled confidently.In fact, this map is not complete. In order to avoid arousing the queen's suspicion, he did not have pictures of many details, but only roughly drew the directions of several countries, focusing on Congling, Kunlun and Tianshan.At the same time, in order to strengthen the queen's confidence, he specially made the big man bigger, accounting for almost two-thirds of the map.

Liang Xiao talked eloquently, but there was only one central idea: the great man must defeat the Xiongnu.If the Yueshi did not form an alliance with the great Han, they would be trampled by the Huns who moved westward in the future.That is to say, at present, the Yuezhi has a strong rival Wusun in the east, Daxia in the south, and Anxi in the west. Only Dawan in the north is slightly weaker.Once Dawan is occupied by Wusun, the Yuezhi people will be attacked from all sides, and there is no reason for them to survive.

The queen frowned sparsely, staring at the map for a long time.Although Ah Zena had already heard Liang Xiao say it, listening to it now, he still felt terrified and anxious.The Huns left a deep impression on them. Once the Huns moved west, the situation would be much more serious than when the Wusun captured Dawan.

The Yuezhi people can't even stop the Wusun people, how can they stop the Huns?
"According to your envoy's opinion, what should I do?"

"Of course it was a pincer attack from east to west, which severely damaged the Xiongnu. As long as the strength of the Huns was damaged, even if they fled westward, with Dawan in the north, the Yuezhi would be safe. If Dawan was destroyed, the Yuezhi could only face the Huns face to face. Even if you win, it will be a tragic victory. If you lose, either the Huns will go south, or the Bactrians will go north, and the Yuezhi will perish."

The queen and Ashina exchanged a look.Azhena said again: "We have fought against the people of Dawan many times, and we have enmity with each other. Will they accept our support and let our warriors enter Dawan?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "This is indeed a problem. If there are only 5000 people and they are led by prudent people, then it's okay. If there are too many people, and they refuse to abide by the rules and act recklessly, the people of Dawan may refuse to agree, and they may be angry surrendered to the Wusun people, and turned against the Yuezhi."

"Three 5000 people, can we retreat the army of Wusun people?" Queen Yuezhi was puzzled. "Although the Wusun people are not as powerful as the Huns, they still control tens of thousands of people. The Dawan people may not be able to mobilize more than [-] troops, right?"

"Your Highness is wise, that's true." Liang Xiao was prepared and said calmly, "However, if the Wusun people fight on two fronts, the situation will be different."

"Fight on two fronts?"

"Yes. We Han people often say that the way to use troops is to attack the enemy but not to defeat the enemy. The Wusun people believed that they had the backing of the Huns, and their troops were strong and strong. When they failed to attack the Yuezhi, they wanted to turn to attack Dawan and go around behind the Yuezhi. But thousands of miles from east to west, and there is a big mountain in the middle, they are hard to see from head to tail, this is a good time for the Yue clan to fight back."

Liang Xiao found the mountain pass in the east of Dawan on the map, and it was a bit heavy.

"If there are more than [-] men and horses, waiting for work at leisure, we can hold Wusun people here. The Yuezhi people east of Congling can take the opportunity to collect the old troops, and at the right time, go east and attack the old nest of Wusun people. Or ambush The place where the Wusun people must pass through to withdraw their troops, and attack when the Wusun people retreat. If you can severely injure the Wusun people, you will have a chance to return to your original place. Even if you fail, you can still have a few more years of peace."

Queen Yuezhi nodded slightly, and promised to discuss with the ministers before giving Liang Xiao an answer.

Liang Xiao bowed and retreated.

Two days later, Queen Yuezhi summoned Liang Xiao again, decided to form an alliance with the great Han, and sent Dalu Azhena and Prince Batu to lead [-] cavalry to Dawan. Prince Aliusu led the Yuezhi people east of Congling Go eastward, summon the old tribes and Qiang people who stayed in Nanshan, and wait for the opportunity to fight.The Queen decided that after the war, Batu would serve as the envoy of the Da Yuezhi, and follow Liang Xiao back to the Han Dynasty to meet the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the queen rewarded Liang Xiao heavily.

Liang Xiao successfully completed the task and returned home with a full load.

In the middle of the mountain pass, Li Shuyun and old Andrew stood side by side on the cliff, with their arms open, letting the howling north wind blow across their faces.The blood-red cloak was fluttering in the wind, like a battle flag.

"The people from Wusun came so fast." Li Shuyun smiled and said, "Old Andrew, if it weren't for you, we would have suffered a lot."

Old Andrew smiled wryly: "Back when we fought against the Yuezhi people, we suffered a great loss because we were too late to form an formation. This time, I have to be more careful when dealing with the Wusun people."

Li Shuyun understood.The burden on old Andrew's shoulders was heavy, and the burden on his heart was even more important.He considers himself the elite of Greece, and he is highly valued by Liang Xiao. If this battle is not fought well and the Wusun people can easily enter Dawan, what face will he have to live?

"Can the checkpoint we set up stop the Wusun people?"

"You can rest assured." Old Andrew pointed to the mountain road, full of confidence. "I have been grazing here for many years, and I have entered and exited the mountain pass many times. I am very familiar with the terrain here. Look at this slope, although it is not the narrowest, it is the steepest. When Wusun people arrive here, they can only get off their horses and walk..."
