Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 303
After nearly a month of trekking, Liang Xiao finally walked out of the valley and arrived in Shache.

Aliusu himself was not in Shache, only his general Tie Huali led the [-] step cavalry to guard.Shache was originally a small oasis country. After the Yuezhi moved westward, they were conquered by the Yuezhi and became a subsidiary of Aliusu, and Tie Huali was ordered to guard them.

At night, Liang Xiao lived in a tent outside the city, with his feet stretched out, and Alpha helped him pick up blisters.Most of the time in the mountains, he couldn't ride a horse, he had to walk, and he got out of the blisters on his feet. The old ones didn't go away, and the new ones came again, overlapping and covering the soles of his feet, which was shocking.

In two lifetimes, it was the first time he had walked such a long distance on foot.Although his feet hurt, he was very happy.Although the valley is difficult and dangerous, the danger of the terrain also made him aware of it.No wonder Vesutti said that he was too old to walk this way, so he had to stay at the west mouth of the Panchi River.For the [-] troops he led, crossing Congling was indeed not an easy task.

In other words, it is not that simple for Aliusu to cross Congling and attack Jianshi City.

Aliusu, who has no way out, should be more persuasive.

After picking out the blisters, Liang Xiao washed his feet with hot water, wrapped them in a cloth, and limped out to patrol the camp.

This journey was too hard, everyone suffered a lot, and some people were injured or fell to death. Everyone's emotions were not very high, and he needed to comfort him in time.If it was in Dawan, he could reward them with some money, let them drink and watch dances, find a few women to relax, but now that they are in danger, he dare not do so.

Others don't know, but he knows it in his own mind.He and Aliusu were not friends, and they shot and killed Zhen'an's three personal guards first, so there was no mutual trust at all.No one can guarantee that Zhenan will not take the risk and arrange for someone to attack him.

Liang Xiao walked over from tent to tent, chatted with the soldiers, cheered them up, and reminded them to be vigilant and pay more attention to the movements around them.Seeing Liang Xiao patrolling in person, needless to say the Greek veterans, even the teenagers who have never seen the real suffering of the battlefield have heightened their vigilance, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The veterans looked at Liang Xiao with warm eyes and a little bit of relief in their admiration.They originally thought that Liang Xiao was an envoy of a great power, that he was young and rich, so he might not be able to bear the hardships and the crime of going to war.Looking at it now, Liang Xiao can still endure hardships, which is very different from the young dignitaries in Dawan. It was a correct decision to follow Andrew's suggestion and join him.

They volunteered to send a few veterans who could speak Yueshi's language to the market to understand the situation, explore the terrain, and purchase some supplies by the way.

Liang Xiao was very satisfied and agreed without hesitation.

In the city, Tie Huali turned around the table full of wine and meat with his hands behind his back.Zhenan sat behind the table, facing a table of delicious food. He should have eaten a large amount of dry food for the march for more than a month, but when he thought about the situation, he had no appetite at all.

Similarly, after listening to his narration, Tie Huali was a little bit clueless.

Although he has a rough appearance, he is a man with a rich heart.Otherwise, Aliusu would not have left him to guard this place.

"Weisuti led an army of [-] to guard the Pangchi River, even birds, don't even think about flying in front of him." Tie Huali shook his head repeatedly. "What happened to the queen? The older you get, the more confused you become. Prince Batu has gone to the Han Dynasty as a hostage. Besides the prince, who else can inherit the throne? With the prince's strength, conquering Daxia and Dawan is just a matter of effort. The horses of Dawan, the food of Daxia, supply the army, defeat Wusun..."

"You think too easily." Zhen'an interrupted Tie Huali unceremoniously. "If it weren't for the Dawan people who attracted the main force of the Wusun people last year, how could we have the momentum we have now. Speaking of which, we now have an army of [-] to [-], but these are just sheep that have just gathered together, and have not yet become a real force." Wolves. If you rush to confront the Wusun people, they will disperse."

Tie Huali looked at Zhen'an and sneered, "You are like a gelded horse now, you have no ambition at all."

Zhenan snorted through his nose: "You are just a pheasant eating grass seeds in the valley. How can you know the power of an eagle. I have seen the magical archery skills of the Han envoy with my own eyes. Not to mention you, even the prince may not There is a chance to defeat him. Do you know that the human bow, one of the three treasured bows of our Yuezhi people, is now in his hands."

"Human bow?" Tie Huali was taken aback, doubtful. "Can he draw a bow?"

"Can't you see it?" Zhen'an sighed, "Without the wisdom eyes of a Buddha, how can you recognize a true god. I have seen his archery with my own eyes, and I have also seen that human bow. In my opinion, the bow in the prince's hand is not Opponent. If you can snatch the human bow from him, it will be more useful than getting Princess Dawan."

"I want a human bow, and Princess Dawan too." Tie Huali interrupted Zhen'an. "I want to meet this envoy to test his quality. If he is really such a hero, I will send someone to send a letter to the prince immediately so that he can prepare. If it is not the case, we must give him some strength have a look."

Zhen'an picked up the wine glass, expressionless, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.Tie Huali saw it, but pretended not to know.

-

Tie Huali brought twenty personal guards to Liang Xiao's camp.

These personal guards were carefully selected by him, all of them were strong and valiant, with extraordinary martial arts skills and rich combat experience, they were true veterans of many battles.Although there were only 20 people, their aura was no less than that of a hundred people, and their murderous aura could be felt from a long distance away.

Upon receiving the news, Liang Xiaogao sat in the tent and was greeted by Pang Shuo.Eighteen mercenaries surrounded the big tent, and the rest of the infantry guarded the tent in order.

Seeing this, Tie Huali was secretly vigilant.Although Liang Xiao only had 400 people, the camp was well established and organized.After a long journey, he was exhausted, but he still hadn't let down his guard. He was a cautious person, and he had no flaws to look for.

Tie Huali got off his horse at the tent door, and seeing Pang Shuo in front of the tent door, he couldn't help frowning.Pang Shuo was tall and mighty, he looked like a powerful man from Kong Wu, and his aura was even better than the guards behind him.Seeing the other guards with their bows and arrows on their backs, their eyes like arrows, or their shields and spears, their waists straight, no less than the guards behind him, the arrogance in their hearts was suddenly broken.

"Where is the messenger?" Tie Huali asked in a deep voice, showing displeasure.He had already arrived at the tent, and Liang Xiao still refused to show his face, which was too embarrassing.

"The envoy is waiting in the tent." Pang Shuo said neither humble nor overbearing.

"This general is the guardian of Shache ordered by the crown prince, shouldn't he be greeted by an emissary?"

Pang Shuo smiled slightly, a bit disdainful and a bit reserved. "The envoy's holding the festival represents my court of the Han Dynasty. Let alone a general, even if they meet King Yueshi, they meet each other with respect. Could it be that the crown prince ordered Shache to be a guardian more noble than King Yueshi?"

Tie Hua was at a loss for words.Although he doesn't take Queen Yueshi seriously, he can't be rude in front of outsiders.As soon as he lifted his cloak, he was ready to enter the account, and the guards behind him hurriedly followed.Pang Shuo stretched out a hand, stopped Tie Huali, and said without doubt: "The envoy's tent is large, no idlers can enter, the general can only bring one guard into the tent, and the others please wait outside the tent."

Tie Huali narrowed his eyes and stared at Pang Shuo viciously.Pang Shuo looked down at Tie Huali with a calm face.Tie Huali and him looked at each other for a while, feeling more and more awkward, and seeing that there was no sound in the tent, Liang Xiao had no intention of showing his face at all, so he could only turn around and wave to the guards, and walked into the tent with only one personal guard.

Liang Xiao'an sat behind the table, while Tu Niu'er stood aside with his hands behind his back.Seeing Tie Huali leave the tent door, Liang Xiao stood up from behind the case, came out, and said with a loud smile: "I heard from Master Zhen'an that General Tie Huali is brave and resourceful, and he is a general under the prince's command. When I saw him today, I would A little disappointed."

Tie Huali was in a bad mood when he was forced to retreat by Pang Shuo, but after hearing this sentence, the smile on his face froze even more.He looked at Liang Xiao, wondering what Liang Xiao meant.He has also come into contact with some Han people, and his impression is that Han people are more polite, but Liang Xiao's performance is so strong, not only does not greet him, but also says that he is disappointed with him, which is beyond Tie Huali's expectation, and suddenly I don't know how to answer the call.

Tie Huali suppressed his anger, and said in a cold voice, "This... I would like to ask the envoy to advise me."

"How much does the general know about last year's war?" Liang Xiao walked up to Tie Huali, looked Tie Huali up and down, and smiled slightly.When he was in Jianshi City, he heard Ah Zena mention Tie Huali, and on the road, he heard Wei Suti and Zhen An mention this person successively, and he knew that he was one of the few wise generals under Aliusu's command.Judging from his current response, his intelligence is probably very limited compared to the Yuezhi people.

"I know a thing or two, I heard that the envoys attacked the camp in Suye City and shot Wu Dan." Tie Huali deliberately made a disapproving look. "I have heard about the bravery of the envoy. However, I am quite puzzled about it. Today, I just want to see it with my own eyes. I wonder if the envoy can show his skills and open my eyes."

Liang Xiao secretly laughed in his heart.This is a door-to-door challenge.My majestic messenger, show you martial arts?However, simply refusing will not work, he will be regarded as a guilty conscience.These barbarians respect the strong and look down on softies the most. If they want to subdue them, they must show some real skills.

Liang Xiao remained calm and asked back, "Will the general want to compete in martial arts?"

Tie Huali hesitated for a moment.He originally wanted to tease Liang Xiao, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiao not only refused to refuse, but also directly proposed a martial arts competition, which was a big surprise.Letting Liang Xiao perform alone is playing tricks on him, but if there is a martial arts competition, it means that both sides fight at the same time, and there is a meaning of competition in it.

Thinking of what Zhen'an said, Tie Hua was at a loss.He couldn't find anyone who could compete with Liang Xiao in archery.However, when it comes to this, he can't shrink back.

"What should the envoy compare to?" Tie Huali smiled unnaturally.

"You and I are both commanders of the army. Comparing, of course, is better than fighting in battle." Liang Xiao said, "I have four hundred infantry and cavalry, and the general has many powerful men. Not only do I have three thousand cavalry, but there are also three Shache soldiers." More than a thousand. The general can choose the same warriors to fight against me, or go together, and I will accompany me to the end."
