Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 332 Reunion

King Youxian jumped into a rage and cursed loudly.

After preparing for more than half a year and traveling thousands of miles, an army of 10,000+ was assembled to besiege Suye City. As a result, the city had just been besieged for several months, and the real battle had not yet begun. All tribes were shaken and begged to leave.Especially the Hunxie King's Department and the Xiuwei King's Department whose grazing land was in Hexi, since Tiaoshi came to Dawan and heard that Liang Xiao had appeared near Hexi, they panicked and asked to retreat many times.

But it was Wusun Kunmi Liejiaomi who retreated first.

Lie Jiaomi gave up the task of attacking the mountain pass on the grounds that Chigu City was in danger, and withdrew to Chigu City.The envoy sent by King Youxian has never returned, and he probably died in some ravine.Not to mention that King Youxian couldn't find them, even if King Youxian found them, he still couldn't identify them as the black hand of Liejiaomi.

King You Xian knew very well that Lie Jiaomi had never seen him.He has Shanyu backing him, and the Hunxie King's Ministry as his aid, so he doesn't take him as the right sage king at all.According to the succession order of the Huns, even if Shan Yu died, it would not be his turn to be the right king.

Without strength, there is no dignity.If Shan Yu didn't come, King Youxian's deterrent power was not enough, and he couldn't suppress the leaders of the tribes at all.

In a few days, only half of the 10 horses remained.Except for King Youxian's subordinates, there are only King Rizhu and a few small tribes whose grazing lands have nothing to do with Hexi.

Can 5 horses capture Suye City?Neither King Youxian nor King Rizhu are sure.It stands to reason that the troops are sufficient, the siege equipment has been built, and the siege skills are much more proficient than at the beginning. The chance of winning Suye City is not small.However, King Youxian and King Rizhu have their own selfish intentions: If Suye City is taken down, who will Suye City belong to?
In terms of strength, the two are almost the same.In terms of status, King Youxian is slightly higher, but the height is limited.In terms of Shan Yu's authorization, King Youxian is the main general, and King Ri Zhu is the forward, in fact, he is the deputy general.Originally, this was the arrangement of Shan Yu's personal conquest, but later when Shan Yu didn't come, the two of them couldn't stop arguing, fighting openly and secretly, and had no intention of attacking the city. Instead, they spent a lot of effort to win over those small tribes with mediocre strength, but now they have a lot of influence.

A massive battle was about to come to an end.

The Huns attacked the city one after another, but there were fewer tents outside the city. Creon and Arzena breathed a sigh of relief.They knew that the most difficult time had passed, and even if the Huns continued to attack the city, the possibility of breaking the city was greatly reduced.

They were very curious, what did Liang Xiao do to let the Huns win without a fight?

Just because they didn't understand, all kinds of speculations came out one after another, and the more they said, the more magical they became.Some people say that Liang Xiao ambushed the Xiongnu Shanyu, and the Huns were leaderless; some people said that Liang Xiao was just outside the city, shooting and killing hundreds of Huns every day, and those who were missing were killed by him; What's more, Liang Xiao was blessed by the sun god Apollo, gained supernatural power, and easily defeated the Huns.

Various theories, one after another, became the best talking points for the soldiers and civilians in the city. Many people rushed to the Temple of Apollo to offer tribute to Apollo, and some even discussed giving Liang Xiao a statue so that he could enjoy Suye City. The admiration of the people.

Liang Xiao didn't know that he was about to become a god, he was rushing back to Chigu day and night.

Even if including Li Danghu and others, plus the Yuezhi people who are willing to follow him and go with him to rescue the Yuezhi prince Aliusu, he only has more than a thousand horses.Whether this group of people can rescue Aliusu, or even whether Aliusu can wait until he rescues him, he has no idea.

He had to think about how to prevent the Wusun people from growing up if Aliusu could not be rescued.

At this time, Huangfuqi made another suggestion: form an alliance with the Wusun people.

Liang Xiao couldn't make a decision, so he invited Dongfang Shuo, Li Danghu, and Li Shuyun to discuss.Although Li Danghu's official position is not as good as Li Shuyun's, Liang Xiao and the others—including Li Shuyun himself—respect him very much and treat him like an older brother, not simply judging by the official position.

After listening to Huangfuqi's suggestion, Dongfang Shuo first agreed.He said that for the Han people, it doesn't matter who they form an alliance with, the important thing is not to let a real strongman appear in the Western Regions.Aliusu is obviously not a person who is willing to be manipulated by others. Even if he is rescued, the alliance may not be possible.Instead of this, it is better to let them restrain each other, so that the Han people can benefit from it.

What's more, Aliusu is likely to be dead now, and it would be too risky to pin his hopes on him. It is very necessary to send someone to find out the truth first.

Liang Xiao followed Dongfang Shuo's suggestion and asked Dongfang Shuo and Huangfuqi to go together.In order to ensure Dongfang Shuo's safety, he sent ten knights including Tu Hu to escort him.Just in case, Pujia was asked to send two cronies back to Puleihai to gather the people left behind and be ready to respond at any time.

Dongfang Shuo immediately set off and rushed to Chigu at full speed.

In order to hurry, Liang Xiao didn't return the same way, led by a few merchants and Xiaoyue people, and plunged into the desert.

-

Since entering the Western Regions, Liang Xiao has either been running wildly on the grasslands or walking along the oasis. He has seen the desert, but he has never really entered the desert.I walked into the desert occasionally, and the time was very short, and I didn't really experience the hard work of trekking in the endless desert.

This time, he had personally experienced the dangers of the desert.

During the day, the sun was so hot that I felt dizzy and dizzy, and I wanted to go into battle shirtless. At night, it was so cold that I shivered.Those who haven't personally experienced it can't imagine the feeling of this kind of ice and fire in one day and one night.

What is even more frightening is the lack of water. Before entering the desert, they filled all the containers with water. The Pulei people and the Xiaoyuezhi people repeatedly asked them to save water, but when they got thirsty, those who just came from Chang'an The knights didn't care so much, picked up the water bag and filled it.Pujia was in a hurry, and repeatedly begged Liang Xiao to order to control drinking water, otherwise it would be difficult to get out of the desert.

Liang Xiao also knew the dangers of the desert, once there was a shortage of water, the loss would be heavy.He repeatedly explained the situation to the knights, and even did not hesitate to apply for an Israeli military order, and only then managed to control the situation.Even so, there were still many knights who couldn't bear the torment of thirst and secretly drank water.

Twelve days later, when they walked out of Bailongdui and saw the meandering river on the west bank of Puchanghai, the feeling of narrow escape was really good.

In Loulan Kingdom, he replenished his supplies and replaced some of his horses. Liang Xiao didn't care about rest, and immediately went up the river.After walking for another three days, they arrived in Yuli country and met Zhen'an.

When seeing Liang Xiao, the expressions on Zhen'an's face were extremely rich, mixed with joy and sorrow, shame and shame, joy and helplessness.

"Your envoy...where did you come from?" Zhen'an tried his best to put on a casual look and asked.

Liang Xiao couldn't help being a little funny.It's all come to this point, what else are you pretending?He looked at Zhen'an twice, and said lightly: "Come from Puchanghai."

Zhenan was surprised, but also a little uneasy. "How did your envoy go to Puchanghai?"

"Because I went to Hexi first, and traveled around Ruoshui with Captain March to see the scenery of Yueshi's hometown." Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "Captain March's archery skills are really good, and he is also generous. You see, most of our war horses are given by him."

Zhen An was taken aback.Liang Xiao even knew Ma Qi's name, and knew that Ma Qi was good at archery and generous, obviously because of Da Maqi.He became more and more uneasy, glanced around, and saw that there were many new faces behind Liang Xiao, and most of them were Han Chinese, so he became more vigilant.

"Your envoy..."

"These are my robes, I just came from the big man." Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. "The Huns have all gone to Dawan, and the west of Hexi is empty. They feel as if they have entered the land of no one. The journey is very easy. How is the prince, have you taken Chigu City? Have you won Wudan?"

Zhen An couldn't pretend anymore, stepped forward two steps, and took Liang Xiao's rein. "Your envoy, save my prince. If you don't come again, I really can't hold on. You don't know how I got here in the past two months." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, and he burst into tears.

Liang Xiao was embarrassed to tease him again, so he jumped off the horse, helped Zhenan aside, and asked carefully.

Zhenan had a hard time these two months.

Aliusu was lured into Chigu by the Wusun people, and Wudan immediately sealed off the valley entrance and cut the Yuezhi people apart.Zhenan was originally with Aliusu.Originally, Aliusu hoped that the subordinates who stayed outside would be able to re-open Taniguchi and let him go out.As a result, after waiting for more than ten days, there was no sign of reinforcements.

Aliusu had no choice but to send dozens of troops, including Zhen'an, to venture across the mountains and forests to get in touch with the subordinates outside the valley. Only then did they know that they had been trying to find a way to meet Aliusu, but the Wusun people kept Taniguchi tightly guarded. Don't give them a chance at all.For more than ten days in a row, they lost thousands of people, but the Taniguchi position remained unchanged.

Zhen'an sent people to sneak back into the valley, and let Aliusu hold on patiently. He himself sent people to ask for help, tried his best to recruit troops, and continued to attack Taniguchi to share the pressure on Aliusu.While paying heavy casualties, Aliusu finally withstood the offensive of the Wusun people.

However, everything was reversed with the return of Lie Jiaomi.After Lie Jiaomi led the army back to Chigu City, he stopped attacking Aliusu and turned to attack the Yuezhi people outside the valley.Without Aliusu's command, the Yuezhi people suffered heavy losses, even Zhen'an himself was injured.

"Lie Jiaomi is back?" Liang Xiao was surprised. "When did he return to Chigu City?"

"At least half a month."

Liang Xiao estimated the time and felt relieved.Calculated according to this time, it didn't take long for Lie Jiaomi to attack the mountain pass.Yamaguchi should still have Jian Mi in his hands.As long as the mountain pass is not lost, it will be difficult for the Huns to transport their supplies to Suye City in time. If you want to besiege the city for a long time, looting alone is not enough.If they persisted for a while, they might have to retreat voluntarily.

With the mountain pass, the Xiongnu would have to travel at least two thousand miles, and the battle line would be too long, and it would be difficult to sustain, even for the people on horseback.This time he fought thousands of miles, the price was that countless soldiers died of exhaustion.On average, one person lost three or four horses.If it weren't for the limited number of people, who had been robbing the Huns' logistics troops along the way, and finally went deep into the Huns' lair, it would be impossible for him to support him until now.

"Lie Jiaomi is trying to trap your prince to death." Liang Xiao comforted Zhenan and said, "The prince is brave and tenacious, and it is not easy to die. Now we should think of a way, how to get the prince out."
