Chapter 368
First of all, he sneered at Ling Ling and rejected Mo Yu's request straight away.

Dongfang Shuona is Da Tuqi, whom King Youxian has taken a fancy to. Do you want to exchange him for two women?It's just talking in sleep.

Mo Yu also felt that it was unreliable, but he couldn't stand Che Yi's begging.Che Yi even threatened Mo Yu that if you can't save your mother, I will become a monk and practice. Not only will I not be the king of Che Shi, but I will not marry a wife or have children.

Mo Yu was also in a hurry.He is just such a son, if he really wanted to become a monk, wouldn't it be unprecedented.Besides, he also knew that Che Yi believed in Buddhism and was a dutiful son. When he said that he wanted to become a monk to practice, he was definitely not talking about it for fun. He might really do it.

Mo Yu had no choice but to ask Xian Shan Ling again and again.Dusting zero first is just not allowed.Mo Yu was also in a hurry, and said to Xian Shanling, I don't need your consent, I will ask Youxian King myself.You give me two days, within two days, if you launch an attack and kill my Yan family and sister Wang, I will definitely not let you go.

After thinking about it for a while, I agreed.Although he is not afraid of Mo Yu's threats, he is unwilling to offend Mo Yu and have a bad relationship with Che Shiguo.Besides, he had already seen how powerful Liang Xiao and others were, and when he thought of attacking Liudao Mountain Pass again, he retreated in his heart.He couldn't have wished for this opportunity.

His mission was to chase Liang Xiao and get back the robbed property of Che Shiguo. Now that Liang Xiao was right in front of him, his mission was completed.As for Che Shi Kingdom's property, it was also what King Che Shi asked to give up, and had nothing to do with him.

Mo Yu ordered Mo An to stay and watch him first, then took Che Yi with him, and hurried to King Youxian's camp.

Seeing that the Huns did not attack again, the mercenaries were puzzled, but Liang Xiao laughed.He only wanted ten horses before letting Che Yi go, that's what he wanted.Knowing that Che Yi is the only heir of Che Shi Wang Moyu, and that Che Yi believes in Buddhism and respects filial piety, he began to consider using him to delay time.

What he wants is not to kill many people, but to stop the Huns from chasing them.

The exchange of ten horses for chariots is to show Mo Yu that he means what he says.

Che Yi was let go because he was Mo Yu's only heir and had the ability to persuade Mo Yu.

And asking Mo Yu to exchange Dongfang Shuo for his Yanshi and Wangmei is just a plan to delay time.Faced with this kind of temptation, Mo Yu would give it a try even if he was not sure.Come and go, at least one more day.

The only thing he was not sure about was the attitude of the Huns, so he had to fight a fierce battle first, so that the Huns could see how powerful he was and would be afraid of a strong attack.It now appears that this is also achieved.

In fact, the reason why this battle can produce such a result is inseparable from the fact that the Huns were not prepared.Now that the Huns are prepared, the next battle will not be so one-sided, and as the mercenaries' physical strength declines, there will be more and more casualties, and the geographical advantage will gradually be offset.If the Huns are determined and not afraid of sacrifice, they may not be able to attack and break through.

Now, it's hard to say.After two days of freezing in the narrow valley, it is up to the Huns whether they can still cheer up.

Liang Xiao seized the time and let the mercenaries take turns to rest.In order to ensure physical strength and heat, he slaughtered several horses, and the horse meat was always cooked on the bonfire. No matter who it is, they can grab a piece of hot horse meat and eat it at any time, and they can spoon a bowl of fragrant broth at any time Drinking it can not only drive away the cold, but also boost morale.

"My lord, you are amazing." The buffalo held the broth in one hand and a piece of horse meat in the other, and said while chewing the fat in his mouth, "I still haven't figured out what disease the Huns suffered from." , why don’t you attack. My lord, please tell me the tricks here.”

Liang Xiao smiled, wiped his greasy hands on his shirt, and glanced at the mercenaries around him. "Who can talk about it? If you say something, it will be counted as a decapitation and a meritorious deed."

The mercenaries looked at each other, became excited, pushed each other, and chattered.

Liang Xiao listened quietly with a smile on his lips.He didn't expect these vulgar people to be able to tell any reason. After all, mercenaries like Linghu were a minority, and most of them were simple-minded and only knew how to hack, hack, and kill.To analyze the subtleties in this, their IQ balance is insufficient.

Sure enough, the mercenaries talked lively, but few of them could get to the point.Without Liang Xiao's rebuttal, the other mercenaries sprayed their faces with saliva.

At this moment, Mo Ya walked over with her big belly, and looked at Liang Xiao timidly. "Can I tell you?"

"You?" Liang Xiao glanced at her and couldn't help laughing. "You also want to earn head money?"

"I don't want money." Moya shook her head, pointing to the gurgling horse broth on the fire. "Just give me two mouthfuls of broth, my kids are hungry and keep kicking me."

Liang Xiao glanced at her stomach, smacked his lips, and his heart softened. "Well, after all, the child in your stomach is half of my Han family's blood, so you can't be hungry. Tell me, if you're right, I'll give you two bowls of broth and a piece of horse meat."

"Thank you, sir." Moya held her stomach and sat down cautiously. "Your Excellency doesn't want to fight the Huns." She looked around and explained: "Your Excellency is brave, not because you are afraid of the Huns, but because you are afraid of too many casualties. They are all warriors who have traveled thousands of miles with you. Everyone is an adult. The most precious treasure. No matter which one is injured, adults are reluctant."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, fell silent for a moment, and nodded slightly. "It makes sense. Come, drink a bowl of soup first, and eat a piece of meat."

The mercenaries listened, looked at each other, winked and laughed.

Although they have been with Liang Xiao for so long, they still position themselves as mercenaries. Of course they can't compare with Li Shuyun, Li Danghu and others, and they can't compare with those Han family officials.Along the way, a lot of money has been made, but the casualties are not small. Many people have become timid and want to leave after finishing the deal.Hearing Mo Ya's words now, they realized that Liang Xiao also valued them very much, and they felt a little warmer in their hearts.

"Furthermore, although this place has an advantageous location, it is not suitable for a large army to fight. Your Excellency set up an ambush here, just to stop the pursuers so that others can reach Pulei Sea safely. Pulei Sea is the place where your Excellency will really fight the Huns .”

Liang Xiao was greatly surprised and looked carefully at Mo Ya. "Moya, how can you be so smart?"

"So, am I right again?"

"Well, you're right again." Liang Xiao laughed, and motioned for Xi Ya to fill Mo Ya with another bowl of broth and cut a piece of meat.Mo Ya begged: "Sister Xi Ya, can I trouble you to give this broth to Yan Shi."

Xi Ya glanced at Liang Xiao, and Liang Xiao nodded.Shia carried the broth and walked towards the tent.Liang Xiao fiddled with the dagger and looked at Xi Ya. "Now, should you answer my question?"

"My husband taught me." Moya showed undisguised pride in her eyes. "He read a lot."

"Wu Guinian?" Liang Xiao was thoughtful. "He is so talented, why didn't Che Shi Wang use him?"

"My husband doesn't want to work for the Huns. He just wants to hide in the Wutu Valley, keep some accounts for the captain, and live a leisurely life. My lord, are all your Han sons so smart, all of you can read and write? Can you write and count?"

Liang Xiao smiled.There is no nine-year compulsory education for big men, so the literacy rate is so high, and illiteracy is everywhere.Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo are both illiterate, and basically do not know a single character except their own name.However, compared to Che Shiguo, where no literate people can be found in the entire tribe, the education level of the big man is indeed high.

In fact, not to mention Cheshi, even the Huns and Yuezhi people don't have written words.The characters they used were either Chinese characters from the East or Greek from Central Asia. With the spread of Buddhism, Sanskrit began to be introduced.But for ordinary people, reading and literacy is still a very distant dream.

Mo Ya's admiration for Wu Guinian should largely be the admiration of knowledge.However, judging from Mo Ya's analysis of the few sentences just now, this Wu Guinian is not only literate, but also proficient in strategy. He should not only be as simple as having read books.

Liang Xiao became more and more curious.

"Where is his hometown?"

"Big man." Mo Ya said without thinking.

"The big guy is big." Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. "The big man is five or six thousand miles from east to west, and five or six thousand miles from south to north. There are thousands of counties as big as Che Shiguo. Where is your husband's home?"

"So big?" Moya was taken aback, dumbfounded.

Not only her, but the mercenaries next to her were stunned.They have traveled far and wide and have seen a lot, but they still can't believe it when they hear that there is such a big country.In their view, Dawan is not small, and Parthia is even a huge empire, but compared with the big Han, Parthia seems to be out of the question. Maybe only Alexander's empire that Wei said can compare with the big Han. compared to.

Mo Ya hesitated for a long time, then asked timidly: "Since... the big guy is so big, why did... come to attack Che Shi?"

"We came to the Western Regions, not for the wealth of the Western Regions, nor for the land of the Western Regions, but only for the Xiongnu." Liang Xiao raised his head proudly. "If Che Shi wasn't attached to the Xiongnu, I wouldn't bother to go to Jiaohe City. Compared with Chang'an, the capital of my big man, Jiaohe City is just a piece of dirt. Your so-called wealth is no more than a rich man. In my big man, everywhere."

Liang Xiao boasted a lot, and Mo Ya and the others were fascinated by hearing it, as if in a dream.The mercenaries regretted it too much. They escorted the caravan to the Han territory, but failed to make a trip to Chang'an. Now it seems that they really missed a great opportunity.

"So, my lord came to Tianshan, really only for the Xiongnu?"

"Of course." Liang Xiao nodded affirmatively. "The Huns are used to robbing, and they always want to use force to get something for nothing. The northern and southern countries of the Tianshan Mountains are used by them as money bags, granaries, and stables. We came to the Western Regions to prevent them from using your wealth to fight us. Driving away the Huns not only It is beneficial to us Han people, and it is even more beneficial to you countries in the Western Regions."

Mo Ya was thoughtful, but remained silent.
