Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 370
Dongfang Shuo suggested that the war in the Western Regions came to an end.Liang Xiao went west alone, and getting such a result was already the limit.If you don't stop and expand the war further, it will inevitably exceed the scope of control and be beyond your power.

Liang Xiao was silent for a long time.He also knows that he is not a god after all, and he cannot conquer the world by himself.It was already a surprise to be able to fight the battle like this.If he hadn't taken the risk of attacking Wutu Valley and Jiaohe City, he might have been blocked by Youxian King in Daban Fortress.

The price of attacking Wutu Valley was heavy, more than 1000% of the non-combat casualties had to be handed over to Hecheng and they could not live in it. This was a manifestation of his lack of strength.If he had another [-] people, he would be able to defend Jiaohe City, so why use such a trick to delay time.

"Youxian King is willing to give up and let me occupy the south of Tianshan Mountain?"

"Do you think I know how to eat and drink every day in his big camp?" Dongfang Shuo smiled triumphantly again. "Don't worry, the Huns are not monolithic. Although King Youxian belongs to the Shanyu lineage, his succession is late, and it is basically impossible to inherit the Shanyu's position. Although the Huns in the Western Regions are large, their strength is not only inferior to the royal court, but even inferior to the left. For his own sake, he doesn't want to fight you hard either."

"So, he gave up the south of Tianshan Mountain?"

"It's hard to say." Dongfang Shuo shook his head. "I can only say that he doesn't dare to fight anymore. If the loss is too great, he can't control his subordinates, and he may follow in the footsteps of the Hunxie King." He changed the subject. "You see, this is the disadvantage of feudalism. If it weren't for the fact that all the ministries were separated and each sought their own interests, he would have no worries about the future, how could he let you be so relaxed."

Liang Xiao couldn't keep up with Dongfang Shuo's rhythm for a while. "Why did you suddenly mention this? Is this the same thing?"

"I want to tell you that after returning to Chang'an, don't be self-righteous and talk nonsense. The reduction of the feudal clan is an established policy of the imperial court. Anyone who opposes the reduction of the feudal clan will end up with nothing good. The Greek Federation will not work."

"Who said I'm going back to Chang'an?"

"You burned Jiaohe City and didn't return to Chang'an. How can I be friends with King Che Shi? With these hundreds of people, can we control the countries in the Western Regions?"

Liang Xiao was extremely embarrassed.Burning the car master's palace was a moment of joy, but now that I think about it, there is indeed something wrong.He scratched his head, hesitant to speak.

Dongfang Shuo slowed down his tone, and said again: "Besides, if you want to be a Marquis, you have to go back to Chang'an. You are thousands of miles away, even if you have made great achievements, how will the court know? You have to appear in front of the emperor from time to time, let him Remember you, remember your achievements. No matter whether King Youxian is willing to give up or not, he will not be able to start another war within this year, and this is a good opportunity for you to return to Chang'an."

Liang Xiao nodded.After being out for so long, he really should go back to Chang'an.It is not enough for these people to work hard in the Western Regions. Only when the imperial court dispatches the main force can it be possible to truly open up the Hexi Corridor and control the Western Regions.

"What about you?"

"I want to travel around the countries to increase my knowledge. You said there will be Rome after Greece, and I'm going to see this emerging country. What Che Yi said about Indian Buddhism has some insights, and I want to see it too. "

"I'm going back to Chang'an, you go on a tour, who will leave this place to?"

"Of course it's Li Shuyun."

Liang Xiao was surprised. "Why not Li Danghu?"

Dongfang Shuo gave Liang Xiao a white look, a little disdainful and a little smug. "I knew that if I wasn't here, you would be in a mess. In terms of merit, Li Shuyun has made a lot of achievements; in terms of position, Li Shuyun is a respected person; in terms of relationship with you, although Li is close to you, why is Li Shuyun loyal to you?"

After savoring it for a while, Liang Xiao felt that Dongfang Shuo had thought carefully.It's just...he always has an unspeakable feeling.He glanced at Dongfang Shuo, just in time to see Dongfang Shuo's strange eyes.He froze for a moment, and then looked again, Dongfang Shuo had already turned his head, looking lazy like a gamer.

Two days later, they came to Pulei Sea and Shuyu Valley.

The Pulei people had prepared for the war long before Liang Xiao attacked Hexi, suffered the least loss and had the most stringent defense.Although the harvest was a little less, they had the most comfortable winter with the large amount of booty brought back by Pu Jia.

Entering the depths of Shuyu Valley, what Liang Xiao saw were happy smiling faces and what he heard were happy singing voices.Seeing them, the Pulei people greeted them warmly. The girls stood in front of the tent and looked at them with fiery eyes. The children ran in front of the horses, and the crisp laughter resounded through the valley.

"I have a feeling of coming home." Bison laughed. "Several girls laughed at me just now."

"Forget it." Feng Lisha teased: "If a young man like an adult doesn't look at it, who would look at you as a rough bastard."

"Hey, what do you know, old guy, rough stuff has its benefits. My lord is prettier than me, but there is Miss Xia beside him. Look at her eyes, they are like knives, who dares to get close?"

"Hahaha..." Feng Lisha laughed, and the mercenaries also laughed.

Liang Xiao looked back at Xi Ya.Shia shrugged innocently. "Master, don't listen to their nonsense. I didn't stare at them. Take whoever you like. I don't think the princess will mind, but I don't know if your princess in Chang'an will mind."

Liang Xiao was speechless and rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry."

Shia smiled, sticking out her pink tongue. "I knew the master wasn't like those rough people."

Two days later, Dongfang Shuo waited for King Youxian by Pulei Sea.

King Youxian was very frustrated.The Western Expedition failed, and the Southern Expedition returned without success. Daban was occupied by Liang Xiao, Cheshi Palace was burned down by Liang Xiao, and the Huns lost face this time.Fortunately, he got a lot of loot in Kucha as a supplement, otherwise he would have lost even more this time.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo made him even more sad.Such a wise man cannot be used for himself, which makes him very unwilling.

"Your Majesty is wise." Dongfang Shuo walked over with big strides. "A decisive decision cannot be made by an unwise man."

King Youxian smiled wryly: "Sir, are you waiting here to comfort me?"

"Although I can't serve the King, the King has treated me very well. As a friend, I came here to send the King off. By the way, I also ask the King to restrain his subordinates and not to hurt innocent people, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts."

"Sir, are you threatening me?" King You Xian narrowed his eyes. "Pu Lei people, I haven't paid attention to them yet."

"Your Majesty, there are not only Pu Lei people in Shuyu Valley, but also Han Chinese." Dongfang Shuo said with a smile, "If Your Majesty wants to attack Shuyu Valley, you might as well give it a try."

King You Xian looked embarrassed.He did have a plan to attack Shuyu Valley, but he was not sure.Liang Xiao was in Shuyu Valley, and he wanted to catch Liang Xiao even in his dreams.Now that Dongfang Shuo had reminded him, he was even more afraid.There is no hope of winning, but the time has dragged on for too long. He is already unable to continue. If he does not rush back to the grassland, if an accident happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

King Youxian said with a sneer, "In your mind, sir, is this kind of person I am?"

"I knew Your Majesty would not do such a stupid thing." Dongfang Shuo laughed. "After your Majesty returns, if you have any difficulties, you might as well send someone to talk about it. As long as I can, I will help."

"Thank you sir." King You Xian let out a breath, feeling a little better.It seems that making Dongfang Shuo a friend is still useful.In the past half a year of conquest, he has no spoils, and he is worried about how to survive the winter.

Right at the Pulei seaside, the two talked for a long time, and what they talked about in detail is unknown to others.

After sending Youxian King away, Dongfang Shuo returned to Shuyu Valley.After resting for several days, Liang Xiao decided to return to Dawan.

He has already decided to return to Chang'an to return to his command after the beginning of spring, so naturally he has to go back to Dawan first.Firstly, Dawan has established diplomatic relations with Dahan and wants to send a proton to Chang'an; secondly, he also wants to give Luo Xuli an explanation.After returning to Chang'an, it's uncertain whether he can come back and when he will come back, and Luo Xuli can't be kept waiting.

Referring to Dongfang Shuo's suggestion, Liang Xiao divided the affairs of the Western Regions into two parts: the affairs of Dawan and Yueshi west of Congling were handed over to Li Shuyun. , it is easier to do things.The affairs in the east of Congling and the south of Tianshan Mountain were handed over to Li Danghu.He has dealt with people from Kucha and Weixu, and he is easy to get along with.

Apart from Li Shuyun and Li Danghu, Dongfang Shuo, who has no official position, takes overall responsibility as a think tank.When Liang Xiao returns to Chang'an, he will ask the imperial court to appoint him.

Dongfang Shuo's first task was to rush to Jiaohe City to negotiate with Che Shiwang.

Maybe it was because the Huns had retreated and no one was backing them up, or maybe it was because they were afraid of being burned by Liang Xiao, King Che Shi accepted Dongfang Shuo's suggestion and formed an alliance with the big man.After hearing the news, Liang Xiao was very satisfied, and sent someone back to the more than ten members of Che Shi's royal family who had been abducted from Jiaohe City, and asked Li Danghu to rush to Jiaohe City to discuss related matters.

After several months of stalemate in Daban, the Huns drove away wolves and tigers and forced soldiers from all over the world to be cannon fodder. More than [-] people died in battle and suffered heavy losses.There are only more than a thousand remnant soldiers left in the chariot division. Without the help of the Han people, they are not enough to protect themselves.

Kucha suffered as much as Che Shi.Kucha was defeated by the Huns, and [-] troops were forced to join the conquest, losing everything.The strength of Kucha was greatly reduced, and King Kucha regretted it.Knowing this earlier, I listened to Li Danghu's suggestion and stuck to Kucha.Now the capital of the country has been plundered by the Huns, and its strength has been greatly damaged. There are also turbulent discussions within the royal family, and King Kucha's throne is in jeopardy.

Dongfang Shuo rushed to Kucha non-stop, trying to get in touch with Jose.Jose returned to Wangcheng, and with the help of Dongfang Shuo, he reorganized his military affairs and became an indispensable general in the Kucha Kingdom.

Cheshi and Qiuci successively formed alliances with the Han people, and Wusun and Yueshi made friends with the Han people either openly or secretly, and other small countries did not dare to fall behind. Warm welcome, the scenery is boundless for a while.

When Dongfang Shuo traveled around the world, Liang Xiao returned to Suye City.

Creon was very generous and went out of the city ten miles to meet him.He defended Suye City twice and repelled the attack of the Huns. Not only did he increase his prestige, but he also made a fortune, and now he is even richer.Seeing Liang Xiao, he was as enthusiastic as seeing the God of Wealth.

Nie Yi and the others were also in the welcome team.They were overjoyed to learn that Liang Xiao was about to return to Chang'an to return to his command.Liang Xiao has made great contributions, and after returning to Chang'an, he will definitely be promoted to a higher position, and their investment in Liang Xiao will also be richly rewarded.This kind of friendship formed on the battlefield is not comparable to ordinary friendship.It is conceivable that they have done a big and successful business this time.

After meeting for a few days, Liang Xiao and Azhena returned to Guishan City together.
