Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 353 Self-defeating
King You Xian was already suspicious of Lie Jiaomi, but now he dare not take it lightly.He didn't want to be bitten by Lie Jiaomi when he was unable to attack the city.

What's more, there is an even more desperate Yueshi prince Aliusu.

King Youxian couldn't help wondering if it was a lie that Aliusu attacked Chigu City and Lie Jiaomi came back to help him, just to prevent him from conquering Suye City?Outside Suye City, there were five thousand Yueshi knights assisting the Dawan people in defending the city.And it wasn't the first time that Lie Jiaomi retreated without a fight.

Everything is possible.Of course, it is also possible that the Han man in front of him is talking nonsense and deceiving people.He did this only to disturb the morale of the army so that he could not go all out to attack Yancheng.

But what if it is true?

King Youxian thought about it and made a difficult decision.On the one hand, he bargained with King Qiuci to delay time; on the other hand, he sent people to Wusun to urge cattle and sheep.This is what Lie Jiaomi promised him.If Lie Jiaomi can still keep his promise, then he is still credible.If Liejiaomi was submissive, then what Dongfang Shuo said was probably true, and he had to make another plan and consider the issue of retreating as soon as possible.

If Lie Jiaomi, Aliusu, and Liang Xiao were really eyeing him, he would probably suffer heavy losses.

King Youxian met with Baiba and Dongfang Shuo again, took a breath, and agreed to make a little concession. King Qiuci was not allowed to go out of the city to apologize, and the number of soldiers could be reduced to five thousand, but the required number of cattle and sheep must not be less, otherwise, he would attack immediately. city.

Bai Ba breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately agreed to go back to the city to ask King Qiuci for instructions.Just as they got up and saluted, they were about to leave.You Xian Wang smiled sadly, and pointed to Dongfang Shuo. "You stay."

Dongfang Shuo's heart skipped a beat. "I?"

"Well, I still have something to ask you carefully." King Youxian twisted his mouth, and pointed at Baiba again. "Go back and tell King Qiuci that if you don't give me a satisfactory answer within three days, I will go to the city. At that time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Baiba's face turned pale with shock, and he looked at Dongfang Shuo begging for help.Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes and laughed. "Don't worry Bai Xiang, I just want to chat with King Youxian too. You can go back with peace of mind, let the king prepare, don't delay."

Baiba had no choice but to leave anxiously.

King Youxian looked at Dongfang Shuo and laughed loudly, his eyes did not hide his appreciation for Dongfang Shuo. "You are a rare warrior, I like you. If you stay here, I will let you be my Datuqi, just like the Bank of China beside Shanyu said."

Dongfang Shuo walked up to King Youxian, leaning on King Youxian's food table, and sat cross-legged. "Who did the Bank of China say?"

"The Bank of China said that he was a Han eunuch. The easy-going princess came to the royal court and became Shan Yu's great butcher. He is a smart man and helped Shan Yu a lot. If you are willing to serve Shan Yu like him If you are loyal to me like that, I will definitely not treat you badly." King Youxian stretched out his hand and patted Dongfang Shuo's thigh vigorously. "I make you king."

Dongfang Shuo twisted his mouth. "It turned out to be a bastard without eggs. It really doesn't make me happy when you compare him to me."

King Youxian laughed. "That's right, that's right, you're a great husband, not the kind of eunuch who smells like shit. How about it, are you willing to work for me?"

Dongfang Shuo thought for a while, then shook his head. "A scholar dies for a confidant. Liang Xiao knows me and treats me like a guest, so I am willing to advise him. But you compare me with Bank of China, which is simply insulting me. How can I serve you?"

King You Xian scratched his head, very embarrassed. "I made a mistake, sir. Don't blame me. What should I do to make up for my mistake? Gold, beauty, or a horse? As long as I have it, I will give it to you."

Dongfang Shuo yawned. "Arrange a tent for me first, I'm a little sleepy. Get some sleep, maybe I'll feel better."

King Youxian smiled brightly, and immediately asked Dongfang Shuo to rest.In order to prevent Dongfang Shuo from escaping, twenty guards were specially arranged to guard Dongfang Shuo day and night.After Dongfang Shuo left, King Youxian put away his smile, and falcon-like eyes swept across the faces of the generals.

"Everyone be vigilant and step up to build a ladder for attacking the city. Once completed, attack the city immediately."

All the generals responded with a bang.

Baiba returned to the city and reported what had happened to King Kucha.

King Kucha was very happy when he learned that Dongfang Shuo defeated King Youxian and forced King Youxian to make concessions.However, facing the result of Dongfang Shuo being detained by the Huns, he was very disturbed.He sent someone to invite Jose and Li Danghu to ask them about their plans.

Hearing that Dongfang Shuo was left behind by the Huns, Li Danghu was shocked and there was a moment of chaos.Jose is also confused.Dongfang Shuo has always been their backbone, without Dongfang Shuo's advice, what would they do?
"How about we agree to the request of the Huns?" King Qiuci suggested. "Although the price is higher, it is better than massacring the city."

"My lord, don't worry." Li Danghu took a few breaths to calm himself down. "Bai Xiang, can you tell me what happened in detail?"

Baiba looked at King Kucha, who nodded, motioning for him to speak quickly.Baiba had no choice but to say it all over again.Li Danghu listened carefully, and his face slowly returned to normal.After Baiba finished speaking, he thought about it for a long time before raising his head.

"Your Majesty, the Huns are afraid."

"Scared?"

"Yes. He is afraid of being attacked by Wusun people and Yuezhi people."

King Kucha was very surprised. "Wusun... really formed an alliance with you?" He thought Dongfang Shuo was talking nonsense to deceive the Huns.Although Dongfang Shuo had stayed in Chigu City for a long time, Lie Jiaomi was a subsidiary of the Huns, and he was at odds with the Yuezhi. How could they form an alliance and deal with the Huns together?

Li Danghu smiled slightly. "To tell you the truth, my lord, I was the one who led the army through Wusun territory and attacked Daban."

King Qiuci was dumbfounded, he really couldn't understand the relationship here.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if the Huns want to attack the city, they still need to build equipment such as ladders. Please be prepared, Your Majesty, to prevent the Huns from attacking. Only by preventing them from seeing the hope of breaking the city can the losses be reduced."

King Kucha agreed.No matter what the Huns say, he has no sense of security, and the defense of this city must never be relaxed.

After leaving the palace, Li Danghu let out a breath, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat instantly.He said to Jose: "I'm going to Daban and tell Captain Liang the news. The general will hold on for as long as possible, and I will rush back as soon as possible. Now the Huns are going deep alone. Once they attack by force, they will not be able to May retreat."

Jose nodded repeatedly. "General, you have to go and come back quickly."

Li Danghu agreed, and left Yancheng with his officials, and traveled day and night to Daban.

-

Daban City was very lively, Liang Xiao was holding a sacrifice in accordance with the customs of the Han region.

The Xiongnu besieged the city, Liang Xiao thought of many tricks in order to adjust the atmosphere and keep the soldiers from getting too nervous.The wax festival is just a gimmick, and the main point is to popularize some Han customs while having dinner.

These rough guys can't think so much, they are happy when they have meat to eat and wine to satisfy their cravings.They spoke half-baked Chinese, followed Liang Xiao to salute in a dignified manner, then giggled and lined up to get the meat, and then stretched out their hands to receive two bounties from Liang Xiao. Before tomorrow morning, the money would be gone. , I don’t know which woman’s arms I stuffed, and I changed it for a spring night.

Knowing that Li Danghu had returned, Liang Xiao was taken aback, and quickly asked someone to pick them up, and brought them directly to the back hall, making a joke.

"Why, you came back smelling the smell of meat?"

Li Danghu couldn't laugh, he stood in front of Liang Xiao with a face full of shame. "Captain, I have failed your trust."

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched.Seeing Li Danghu's mouth full of anger, he knew it was not a good thing.Hearing this sentence, I felt even more uneasy.He suppressed his emotions and signaled Sigma to bring wine and meat to Li Danghu and others, his hands were already shaking a little.

"Eat first, then talk after eating, the sky won't fall."

The steaming wine and meat were brought up, and Li Danghu's tears also came down.He knelt down in front of Liang Xiao with a plop, weeping uncontrollably. "Captain, Dongfang Shuo was detained by the Huns."

Liang Xiao suddenly felt a sudden blackness in front of his eyes, and there was a muffled "buzz" in his head, as if he had been hit by a sap.

"Dongfang Shuo was detained by the Huns?" Liang Xiao grabbed Li Danghu and said sharply, "Please explain to me clearly what is going on. Didn't I ask you to protect Dongfang Shuo? How could he be arrested?" The Huns seized it?"

Regardless of the pain in his arm being pinched by Liang Xiao, Li Danghu told what happened.Before Liang Xiao finished listening, he jumped up angrily and cursed loudly.

"This idiot deserves his bad luck. You can't just stay in the city, but you have to be this hero? Well now, I'm under house arrest by the Huns, and all my plans have come to naught. FUCK! FUCK!"

It was the first time Liang Xiao lost his composure since time travelling, blurting out obscenities that he had forgotten for a long time.Not only Sigma was dumbfounded, but even Li Danghu and others were terrified.It's normal for Lang Guan to speak foul language when they are together, and Liang Xiao is no exception.However, they had worked with Liang Xiao for so long, and it was the first time they heard so many dirty words from Liang Xiao's mouth, and it was also the first time they saw Liang Xiao so angry.

Li Danghu was the first to react, stepped forward and hugged Liang Xiao, dragged him into the inner room, closed the door, let Sigma watch over him, and hurried out again, and said sharply to Lang Guan who came back with him: "From now on, you are not allowed to leave this yard for half a step. Without my order, you are not allowed to speak a word to anyone. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

On the way back, Li Danghu had told the Lang officials many times to keep an eye on their mouths.Strictly declare again at this moment, the officials know it well, and no one dares to be careless.Less than half of Liang Xiao's direct descendants in the fortress belong to Liang Xiao, and the rest are miscellaneous troops assembled by various clans.If these people knew that the Huns were powerful, they might flee or even turn against each other.

They looked at each other and nodded vigorously. "Here."

Li Danghu is also called Guo Tuniuer. "Take a good look at the official office, no one is allowed to come in and out without orders."

Tu Niu'er bowed to accept the order, called all the mercenary guards, and guarded several doors of the official office, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The atmosphere in the official office was tense, and outside the official office, soldiers who didn't know the inside story were still happily celebrating the wax festival.
