Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 277

Overnight, the legendary story of the Han envoys attacking the camp with a hundred cavalry and capturing the battle flag of the Huns spread throughout Suye City.

Of course, this is inseparable from the deliberate publicity of Creon and the merchants attending the banquet.Holding a banquet in the middle of the night, drinking and watching dances is secondary. How to use this opportunity to do a good job of publicity and boost morale is the key.Creon is wise enough in this regard.

After drinking, Liang Xiao and the others went to rest, while Creon and the others continued to discuss.When he got up the next day, Creon had already prepared everything, the bright armor, the fiery red battle flag, and the steed's horse, just waiting for Liang Xiao and others to perform on stage.

Like the stars holding the moon, Liang Xiao stepped on his horse and started to parade along the streets of Suye City under the guidance of dozens of Suye City soldiers.He doesn't need to speak, he only needs to hold the Han Festival, keep smiling, and do his job as a puppet, and Creon's confidant Ampas will do the rest.

Ampas was very conscientious. In order to strengthen his persuasion, he ordered people to hang up Wudan's battle flag, and even made people compile the story of Liang Xiao and others' victory over the battle flag into catchy poems, and arranged for people to go deep into the market, Folk singing.In a daze, Liang Xiao felt unreal, feeling that he had become the protagonist in Homer's epic, a character in the story.

Although Creon's arrangement was somewhat exaggerated, the effect was obvious.The soldiers and people in the city were excited and their morale was high. The fear and uneasiness caused by the siege of the Huns was greatly relieved, and even a little too excited.In the streets and alleys, old people and children alike were talking about fighting, as if the Huns had been eunuched overnight, and anyone could bully him.

Liang Xiao was very disturbed by this.

In addition, the influence of the big man has also extended from the top to the private sector.Under Nie Yi's strong request, not only were the poems sung in two languages, but also the flags used for propaganda were in two languages. There are Greek and Chinese.During the parade, Liang Xiao even held the Han Festival throughout the process, and the knights also wore red Han-made jerseys with great visual impact.

In just half a day, a major change took place in the impression of the big man among the people of Suye City.In the past, they only knew that the Han Dynasty was rich in fine silk, but now they knew that the Han Dynasty not only produced silk, but also had fearless warriors.

Among the cheering crowd, Liang Xiao saw many Han faces.

Most of them are Han merchants or Han merchants' attendants. They are not strong enough, and they are not qualified to cooperate with Liang Xiao, and they are not qualified to be Creon's guests. But at this moment, they can also share the glory brought by Liang Xiao.They are more excited than anyone else and smile brighter than anyone else.They tried every means to squeeze to Liang Xiao's side and say hello to Liang Xiao, and some of them simply stayed behind and became part of the parade.

Seeing these faces that he had never met but had a sense of closeness, Liang Xiao was very happy and felt proud from the bottom of his heart.He knows how helpless these Han people are thousands of miles away from home, and he is very proud that he can help them.

When we returned to the Chengshou Mansion, the Chengshou Mansion was already overcrowded, the square in front of the gate was full of people, some came to see the excitement, some came to ask for an interview, people shouted and neighed, nothing could get through.

Under the guidance of Ampas, Liang Xiao managed to enter the city guard's mansion, but he saw Creon surrounded by a large group of people with a smile on his face, and the servants kept carrying boxes one after another. With just a rough scan by Liang Xiao, there are dozens of them.

"What are they doing?"

Nie Yi squeezed over, and when he heard Liang Xiao's question, he laughed and said in a low voice, "The city guard is getting rich."

"Get rich?"

"Yes, in the name of raising military expenses, he asked the people of the whole city to donate. It would cost a lot of money to enter this gate, at least a thousand gold coins."

Liang Xiao was taken aback.One thousand gold coins is equivalent to about thirty gold coins, and there are at least 50 people in front of him. In other words, Creon can receive at least [-] gold coins, which is equivalent to fifteen or six hundred gold coins, which is more than Creon's support for him to build a mercenary group cost of.If counting those donations that were small in amount but extremely large in number, Creon not only suffered no loss, but also made a fortune.

This guy is really a money fanatic, he can't fight wars, but his ability to make money is superhuman.

"Is this considered a national treasure?"

Nie Yi looked at Liang Xiao in surprise, and asked back, "Isn't that what all officials do?"

Liang Xiao didn't know what to say.He had also heard of such a thing, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.The Huns were still outside the city, and Creon, as the city guard, did not tighten up the city defense, but was busy making a fortune, and he was really drunk.

Liang Xiao was not in the mood to meddle in Creon's affairs either.He invited Creon aside and asked about the rewards of the Yuezhi knights.After the night attack, the Yuezhi knights stayed in the Yuezhi people's camp and did not go back to the city with him. The Yuezhi knights did not have a share of the glory they enjoyed.

Creon made a fortune and was in a good mood. He immediately allocated the promised reward to Liang Xiao, and also gave Liang Xiao another [-] gold coins.Liang Xiao was not polite, he accepted all of them, and then rushed to the camp of the Yuezhi people.

Seeing Liang Xiao, Ah She smiled. "Mr. Liang is so majestic."

"I'm just a representative. Glory belongs to all warriors." Liang Xiao ordered someone to bring the gold coins over, and took out another [-] gold coins. "These are what the warriors deserve. Ten gold coins per person. I gave the five thousand gold coins to the prince and Dalu. I thank the prince and Dalu for their trust and support."

Ashena looked at the golden gold coins, turned his head to look at Batu, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "prince?"

Batu blinked and laughed, "Dalu, you don't need to look at me. I'm not short of the money, so give them all."

"Okay." Ah Zena had the thirty bodyguard knights called in, and in front of Liang Xiao, took all the eight thousand gold coins.In the end, there were only two left, and Ah Zena picked up one by himself, and handed another to Batu. "Prince, this is the first battle where our Yuezhi warriors and Han warriors fought side by side and defeated the Huns. It is worth commemorating."

Batu nodded repeatedly.

Liang Xiao saw it and benefited deeply.Ashena was able to achieve the great fortune of the Yue family, and won the trust of the Queen of the Yue family.

Ajina hosted a banquet in honor of Liang Xiao and discussed the war.Ajina is not Creon, he only knows how to get rich, and he also has a personal experience of the strength of the Huns.

"Mr. Liang, although the Huns' spirit was dampened in the battle last night, it did not affect the fundamentals. The Huns did not retreat and were still building siege equipment. A big battle may be inevitable."

Liang Xiao agreed very much.When he was touring the city today, he saw the situation of the camp of the Huns.The Huns' camp has returned to calm and has no intention of retreating.Dawan captives are cutting down trees, building ladders, and preparing for the siege.Brutal siege warfare is inevitable.

"The city is not so easy to attack. It not only depends on whether we are willing or not, but also depends on whether God will give him time." Liang Xiao said: "Da Lu, we must not only be prepared for fierce battles, but also be prepared for the battle." Preparations for the pursuit. It is better to be angry than to let it go. If Wudan can be severely injured, only Wusun people will be left, which will be good news for the Yueshi."

Arjana nodded slightly. "Don't worry, Mr. Liang, if there is a chance to cut off Wu Dan's head, I will not let it go."

After returning to the city, Liang Xiao called Li Shuyun and asked him to take people to the mountain pass to meet Mei Cai and Andrew.It has been half a month since Mei Cai was defeated, how long he can support is really uncertain.

"No matter what method we use, we must cheer up Wei Cai and fight for a turnaround." Liang Xiao pulled the map and pointed to the location of the mountain pass. "Once the siege is frustrated, the Huns have no choice but to go back the same way. If the food and grass are insufficient, they will be seriously injured. If the deputy king can ambush in a suitable position in Shandong, there is a chance to turn defeat into victory. This is his last chance, and he must not let it go."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will pass it on to him."

"You want Wei Cai to have the courage, but you have to be cautious enough. Whether it's Lie Jiao Mi or Wu Dan, they are not kind people. Don't miss the tiger and get hurt by the tiger."

Li Shuyun nodded repeatedly.

In order to ensure that Li Shuyun could reach the mountain pass safely, Liang Xiao asked Xie Guanglong to accompany a hundred Greek teenagers.After a hearty battle, these teenagers have proved their courage and strength, and it's time for them to really go to the battlefield.

In addition to the young Greek knights, Liang Xiao also allocated thirty mercenary archers to Li Shuyun, including two second-class archers. Their mission was to protect Li Shuyun, protect Mocai, and look for opportunities to kill the Xiongnu and Wusun generals.

In this way, Liang Xiao was equivalent to handing over half of the power around him to Li Shuyun, but Li Shuyun didn't dare to accept it, and refused repeatedly.Liang Xiao insisted on doing this.He thinks that Suye City has a city to defend, and there are five thousand Yueshi cavalry, and it is useless to keep these one hundred cavalry. It is better for Li Shuyun to take them to the mountain pass to assist Mocai and find opportunities for war.

Li Shuyun was so grateful that he left Suye City that day.When Wu Dan received the report from the scouts, he didn't dare to be careless, and sent a trusted commander-in-chief with a thousand horsemen to pursue him.The commander chased for more than 100 miles. Facing Li Shuyun and others who were armed to the teeth, he didn't take any advantage, so he could only watch them go away in the end.

When the news was reported to Wu Dan, Wu Dan was so angry that he beat the bed and cursed loudly, almost vomited blood, and ordered someone to drag the commander out and chop him up. When someone advised him to keep the man, he was so angry that he pointed at the man's nose and cursed.

"1000 people face 100 people, and they can't keep them. How can they have the courage to face the Han people in the future? At the time of the Xiongnu's heyday, there were only 40 or [-] soldiers, far less than the Han people. Only by bravery and fearlessness can we win more with less. If thousands of people face hundreds of people, but they don't even have the courage to fight, what advantage does the Xiongnu have? What's the use of killing such cowards, and keeping them as slaves for the Han people?"
