Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 357
Li Danghu was surprised and delighted, he asked about Dongfang Shuo's situation.

In order to show that the Youxian King was thirsty for talents and hoped that Li Danghu would follow in Dongfang Shuo's footsteps and surrender without a fight.

Li Danghu was delighted to hear that Dongfang Shuo was fine, the result was great.As for the Xiongnu saying that Dongfang Shuo had served King Youxian, he scoffed.Many Han Chinese served the Huns, but Dongfang Shuo was absolutely impossible.Liang Xiao's trust and respect for him is definitely not something Youxian King can give.

Faced with the Huns' persuasion to surrender, Li Danghu's face darkened, he stopped sharply, picked up a pen, and wrote a few words on the back of Dongfang Shuo's letter.

"Although Chencang is small, one man guards the gate. Jingxing is thousands of miles away, and the enemy's chieftain is broken. Han Xin is on the horse, and he is good at fighting. I am here, and I am not convinced to fight."

Then he ordered people to blast the Huns envoys out.

The Xiongnu envoy thought that he could persuade Li Danghu to make a great contribution, but the corners of his mouth were full of foam. Unexpectedly, Li Danghu turned his face and kicked him out directly. The anger in his heart can be imagined.Back in Daying, he scolded Li Danghu in front of King Youxian.However, he didn't know that the person he saw was Li Danghu, so he thought it was Liang Xiao.Therefore, Liang Xiaochang and Liang Xiaoshou cursed loudly, trying his best to encourage King Youxian to attack immediately.

Seeing the handwriting on the back of the letter, Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a while.This kind of vulgar diction did resemble Liang Xiao, but the handwriting was definitely not written by Liang Xiao himself.He asked again and again, and the Huns envoy swore that he saw "Liang Xiao" write it with his own eyes.After listening to the envoy's narration, Dongfang Shuo understood.

"Mr. Dongfang, what does this mean?" King Youxian asked.There are people around him who can read Chinese characters, but there are a few allusions mentioned here, and the translator doesn't understand them.

"It's actually very simple. Liang Xiao compares himself to Han Xin and wants to fight you." Dongfang Shuo said casually, "Do you know Han Xin?"

King Youxian nodded quickly.Han Xin is a famous Han general, he has heard of it. "Then what do the first two sentences mean?"

"Those are Han Xin's most famous battles." Dongfang Shuo set up a Longmen formation, roughly told Han Xin's story, and compared Liang Xiao's battles, Suye City was Chen Cang, and the attack on Qilian Mountain was the Battle of Jingxing.King Youxian was fascinated by hearing it, and he was hooked.

"What happened to Han Xin?"

"Uh—" Dongfang Shuo, who was eloquent, was momentarily at a loss for words.This is really not easy to say.Han Xin's fate is not very good.

"Hahaha..." King Youxian glanced at Dongfang Shuo proudly. "Don't tell me, sir, I also know that Han Xin later rebelled and was exterminated. What good is Liang Xiao no matter how good he is at fighting before, if he is not afraid of his achievements, he will end up like Han Xin in the end?"

Dongfang Shuo was very depressed.It's a shame to throw it at grandma's house.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo deflated, King Youxian was very happy.He laughed for a while, and patted Dongfang Shuo's hand earnestly. "Still work for me, the Huns. Like Liang Xiao, you are a true wise man and a hero. However, your emperor is a scoundrel who crossed the river and demolished the bridge. If you work for him, you will not have good results. Why don't you come to my Huns and be free?"

Dongfang Shuo snorted and sneered back. "When you regain Daban and capture Liang Xiao, I will persuade him to serve you together. Before that, you should consider your own glory and wealth. The Western Expedition has failed, and Shan Yu's messenger may already be on the way .”

King Youxian's face froze, he looked at Dongfang Shuo for a while, and then laughed triumphantly. "Mr. Dongfang, you have been hit by me, right?"

Dongfang Shuo became furious and left in a huff.After leaving the tent, he glanced at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he sighed secretly, and muttered something in his heart.

"I hope you can succeed as soon as Han Xin, and I hope you don't make great achievements like Han Xin."

Liang Xiao trekked hard in the snow-covered valley.

Although he had made careful preparations and had sufficient psychological preparations, the difficulty of the journey was still beyond his imagination.

The cold wind howled and the mountains were covered with snow.In the deep valley and the path that can only be passed sideways, there are hidden dangers everywhere.Along the way, there were 11 soldiers who lost their footing and fell to death, and countless were frostbitten.Trekking in the knee-deep snow, I was so tired that I was sweating all over, and when the wind blew, it froze again, which made people feel cold to the bone.

"Hold on, hold on." Liang Xiao panted heavily, clouds of mist came out of his mouth, stuck to his lips, and were frozen into frost again. Full of ice beads.His face was frozen, he lost consciousness, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Master, I...I can't walk anymore." Sigma's legs went limp, and he sat down in the snow, his face pale. "I... I want to rest for a while."

"You can't rest here." Liang Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled Sigma up, tore off her bag and bow and arrows, threw them to Pang Shuo, bent down and carried her on his back, and said anxiously: "Sigma, you can't." Sleep, can't sleep, do you hear me?"

Shia also rushed over and said out of breath, "Sigma, you can't sleep."

"I...I'm too tired." Sigma said vaguely, unable to take his eyes off.

"Go, go." Liang Xiao was in a hurry.He had seen several people who were extremely tired, and those who just wanted to take a nap were frozen to death.Among the four sisters, his favorite is Sigma.She is not only the youngest and childish, but also the most spiritual.So many people shoot at him, only Sigma has his shadow.She is not only his closest maid, but also his younger sister.If she was frozen to death in this mountain, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

With Sigma on his back, he walked forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot, talking to Sigma non-stop. "Sigma, listen to me, we will arrive soon, and we will succeed immediately, you know? After this battle is over, we will return to Dawan, and then I will take you to Chang'an. Didn't you always want to go to Chang'an?" Is Chang'an..."

"Good...warm...and..." Sigma muttered to himself with a strange smile on his face.

"Master, master..." Xia Ya was shocked and cried out in a crying voice. "Sigma she..."

Liang Xiao hurriedly stopped and put down Sigma.When I saw the smile on Sigma's face, my heart skipped a beat.This is a symptom of hypothermia and hallucinations, and Sigma has stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.He didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered to rest on the spot and let the cooking soldiers light a fire to cook soup.

With an order, all the soldiers stopped their tired steps and looked for places to rest.The cooking soldiers were not allowed to rest, they collected dry firewood everywhere, lit a fire to boil water, and prepared a hot meal for the hungry and cold soldiers.

Liang Xiao found a sheltered place against the wind, and took off the clothes on Sigma.The clothes inside were soaked and frozen into ice cubes.Liang Xiao almost smashed the clothes with brute force.Sigma's body was pale, a little bluish, but a faint pink appeared on his face.She closed her eyes and remained motionless, letting Liang Xiao and Xia play with her.

Together with Xi Ya, Liang Xiao rubbed Sigma's body with Xue Meng, making her skin red, then hugged her close to her body, and wrapped her in battle robe and cloak layer by layer.Sigma's body was like a piece of ice, which chilled Liang Xiao's heart.

"Bring two tsampa quickly."

Xi Ya responded, and quickly brought two tsampa, Liang Xiao broke off a piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed vigorously.Seeing this, Shia also broke off a piece, threw it into her mouth, and chewed vigorously until she chewed the tsampa into mince, and then stuffed it into Sigma's mouth mouth to mouth.

Sigma closed his eyes tightly, motionless, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

Shia burst into tears.She kept calling. "Sigma, Sigma, wake up, wake up..."

Liang Xiao hugged Sigma tightly, feeling the body in his arms getting colder and colder, and his heart also getting colder.He hugged Sigma, tears came out of his eyes, his heart seemed to be cut severely by someone, and the pain pierced his heart and lungs.

King Youxian was not in a hurry to attack.Right now, he is sure of winning, and he has enough time to be patient with Liang Xiao.

While ordering people to build siege equipment, he kept sending people to persuade him to surrender.When the weather is bad, he will have a party and drink in the tent, and when the weather is good, he will hold competitions outside the camp.Horse racing, archery, wrestling, trick sheep, play in full swing.

Li Danghu showed no sign of weakness.He set up a ring in the Wengcheng, and organized the soldiers to compete. The winner will get a prize, such as a glass of wine, a small sum of money, or a beautiful woman for a night of spring festival.Corner arrival, over-distance (long jump), one-on-one, team battle, the tricks are no less than that of the Huns outside the city, and the cheers have been spread to the camp of the Huns outside the city.

Among them, Cuju is undoubtedly the most popular.

Cuju, also known as Taju, is made of leather and stuffed with grass or wool. It can be played in a dedicated venue or in the streets and alleys. It is a very popular sport.In the Han army, Cuju was used as one of the means to train soldiers' physical fitness and flexibility. Li Danghu and others were all familiar with it and had a great time playing it.

Cuju is a team sport, which requires a high level of cooperation between each other. No matter how strong an individual is, if he doesn't know how to cooperate, it will be difficult to win.Li Danghu used this method to take turns fighting in Wu as a unit, constantly strengthening the cooperation between them.

Half a month later, King You Xian prepared the siege equipment, seeing that "Liang Xiao" had no intention of surrendering, he had no choice but to launch an attack.He did not send the Huns into battle, but took Yuli, Weixu and other small countries to test the reality first.King Yuli and King Weixu stood outside the city, shouting loudly to their troops, trying to shake the morale of the army in the city, but they got bursts of laughter.

There were not many soldiers in Yuli and Weixu countries, and they were all taken away by Liang Xiao, and there is no one in the city now.The soldiers of other tribes couldn't help laughing at them when they saw their behavior.

In desperation, King Yuli and King Weixu had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch an attack.
