Great Han Arrow God

602 Threat
A Ruikan left in a hurry, Dongfang Shuo looked at Lie Jiaomi with a half-smile. "Kunmo must have thought that it was impossible for me to come to Chigu City again, so he removed my chair, right?"

Lie Jiaomi's mouth was bitter.He really thought that Dongfang Shuo would never come to Chigu City again, so he ordered someone to smash the big chair, but Arukan violated his order and left the chair quietly.He knew that Arukan was interested in Dongfang Shuo, and it was because of this that he found that chair particularly unpleasant.But now, knowing that Arkan didn't destroy the chair, he was even more fortunate.

Otherwise, where would he find this special chair all of a sudden.

"Sir, what are you talking about? There will always be a seat for Mr. in Chigu City. It is Mr. who never comes. I feel sad when I see the chair, so I ordered someone to put it away." Lie Jiaomi accompanied him with a smile on his face. "Sir, Liang Xiao... when will you come?"

"He went directly to Nanshan." Dongfang Shuo said casually, "I came today because I wanted to ask Kunmo for help."

"Sir, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

"Liang Xiao said, the bow in Sirius' hands may be the earth bow of the Yuezhi Three Bows that you got. Is there such a thing? What is going on with the Yueshi Three Bows? ?”

Lie Jiaomi's eyes wandered, and he kept silent.At this time, Arkan came over with four guards, carrying Dongfang Shuo's big chair, exchanged glances with Lie Jiaomi, and said with a smile: "Sir, are you going to talk here or go to the rooftop?" Going to see the snow scene?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at Lie Jiaomi, and said with a smile: "I think Kunmo is sweating all over his face, maybe it's a little hot. Let's go to the rooftop, it's cool there, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains, and you can calm your mind so that you don't feel bored. Wrong decision."

Aruikan heard Dongfang Shuo's implication, turned around and signaled the guards to carry the chair to the rooftop, and then said to Lie Jiaomi: "In this case, Kunmo, you accompany Mr. to the rooftop, and I will arrange some banquets first. Mr. won't come for a long time , If you don’t get drunk today, you won’t go home. After you’ve finished talking about state affairs, I still have some trivial matters to ask my husband for advice.”

Lie Jiaomi's face turned blue and red, but he didn't dare to show it.He turned to invite. "Please sir."

Dongfang Shuo waved his hand. "It's better for Kunmo to go first, it's easier to talk like this."

Lie Jiaomi smiled wryly, and had no choice but to walk in front, with Dongfang Shuo following behind.You can't see anything when you are on the ground, but when you walk up the steps, it will immediately show its effect.Lie Jiaomi was two steps taller, which happened to be about the same height as Dongfang Shuo, but he had to turn sideways when speaking, which was very uncomfortable.But compared to Dongfang Shuo walking in front, he could only see Dongfang Shuo's butt when he looked up, which was not bad.

"Sir, did Liang Xiao bring any new news when he came back?"

"Yes. Last year, our Han army went out two ways and beheaded [-] people. King Youxian was beaten bloody by General Li's [-] fine riders, and returned in a state of embarrassment."

Lie Jiaomi's expression changed.He knew about King Youxian's mutiny, but he didn't know that the Han army only dispatched [-] elite cavalry.This is a bit of an exaggeration. The Han army is strong, but when the cavalry became so strong, they were able to win more with less and hit the Huns hard.

"Is that the General Li who is known as the parachutist?"

"It's him, he's Li Danghu's father, don't you know?"

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it." Lie Jiaomi beat a drum in his heart.Although he had never fought against Li Danghu, he was very afraid of Li Danghu.Back then King Youxian invaded the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain and slaughtered Kucha, but in the end he was blocked by Li Danghu in Daban, unable to advance or retreat.Wu Dan, known as the Sirius, made a comeback. He wanted to respond to Wu Dan, but Li Danghu was unmoved and stuck to Jiaohe City. He thought he was not sure of taking down Jiaohe City, so he didn't make a move.

If Li Danghu hadn't been firmly nailed to Jiaohe City like a nail, why would he have put Dongfang Shuo in his eyes.

"Anything else?"

"Of course, Pingyang Marquis Cao Shi led [-] cavalry and swept across Hexi. Now the Qiang people bowed their heads, and our Han soldiers went straight to Xingxing Gorge, opened up thousands of miles, and established three new counties named Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye. By the way, You should know the governor of Dunhuang, he is Guo Wenbin who accompanied Liang Xiao on his mission back then."

Lie Jiaomi doesn't remember Guo Wenbin, but the Han army controlled Hexi and set up a county in Hexi, which is definitely not good news for him.In this way, the Han army is close to him, and will kill him at any time if necessary.If Li Danghu and Li Shuyun are just a thorn, then these Han soldiers are a knife hanging over his head.

If [-] Han troops can beat Youxian King to shame, what is Wusun worth?
The more Lie Jiaomi thought about it, the more nervous he became, and his legs were a little uncontrollable.Dongfang Shuo saw him and reached out to support him. "Kunmo, you have to be more careful. If you take this wrong step, something serious will happen, maybe you will lose your life."

How could Lie Jiaomi fail to hear Dongfang Shuo's threat.He pushed Dongfang Shuo's hand away with a wry smile, leaned on the railing, and barely stood still. "Thank you for reminding me, sir, I should slow down, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are anxious."

The two came to the rooftop, but Arikan hadn't arrived yet.They stood side by side by the railing, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, speechless for a while.The mountain wind is cool and chilly.Lie Jiaomi involuntarily wrapped the cloak around her body tightly, her eyes were melancholy.

Of course he would not accept Dongfang Shuo's words completely, he would send someone to investigate.But he also knew that Dongfang Shuo hadn't shown up for more than a year, and suddenly came again, so he must be relying on him.Among other things, Liang Xiao was an opponent that could not be ignored.When he first came to the Western Regions, there were only ten riders.This time, it won't be less than last time.

Wu Dan, I hope you can defeat him.

Arikan rushed over with his guards, invited Lie Jiaomi and Dongfang Shuo to be seated, and served wine and meat.They talked and talked, Dongfang Shuo was very talkative, while drinking and eating meat, he talked about the conquests of the big man in the past few years, which made Lie Jiaomi and A Ruikan tremble with fear.Most of them had heard of these things, but they were not specific enough. Now, after listening to Dongfang Shuo's original words, they knew that the Han army had achieved such great achievements in just a few years.

"Does the emperor of the Han Dynasty intend to use troops against Tianshan?"

"No, it's too far away, and there's not much land to cultivate. There's a huge desert. It's boring." Dongfang Shuo put down his chopsticks, picked up an animal bone, and picked his teeth. "However, our court uses a lot of jade, and the supply of jade must be guaranteed, so Nanshan must be in our hands. A bandit like Sirius will kill one by one, and he will never be allowed to gain a foothold."

He raised his head and looked at Lie Jiaomi with a smile on his face. "Kunmo, please be at ease. The emperor of the Han Dynasty favored the world and would not steal your one-acre three-point land. If you obey, maybe you will be rewarded with something. In the past, peace was the most important thing, and rewards were given every year. The Huns have nearly [-] million cash and silk, and now that the Huns have been disabled, the money will be saved, and if you give it to you, it will be enough for you, right?"

Lie Jiaomi raised his eyebrows and turned his anger into joy. "Rewards from great powers are hard to come by. However, I dare not refuse to uphold peace. Sir, do you need me, Wusun, to do something?"

"No need, mere rogues, nothing worth mentioning. With Liang Xiao on the way, the Sirius will become a dead dog sooner or later. If you really want to, get ready to send protons to the court to meet my emperor. In addition, business travelers along the way Your safety, you have to guarantee, if you can't guarantee, I have no choice but to invite Liang Xiao to come." Dongfang Shuo shook his head again and again. "Hey, he is rich now, and his temper is not very good, too murderous."

Lie Jiaomi was terrified when he heard that.He winked at Arkan and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll make arrangements now. Sir, sit down, I'll come as soon as I go."

Dongfang Shuo didn't speak, Lie Jiaomi got up and left the banquet, only A Ruikan and Dongfang Shuo were left in the banquet.Arkan held the wine glass, left his seat, and came to Dongfang Shuo.Dongfang Shuo laughed loudly, put his arms around her waist, and pulled her towards her.

"What's the problem, tell me?"

"It's nothing serious." Arikan blushed slightly. "I just want to ask, how true and false what you just said?"

Dongfang Shuo took a sip of wine from Aruikan's glass, and put it into Aruikan's lips, making Aruikan flushed and panting, and then said: "There is a lot that I didn't say, but I didn't say a word."

"What else did you say?"

"Sirius must die, but Hunxie can live." Dongfang Shuo picked up Arukan and put him on his lap, and the two faced each other. "You are the princess of the Hunxie Department. You can choose someone to succeed the Hunxie King. It doesn't matter who it is."

A Ruikan was teased by Dongfang Shuo until his face was flushed and his heart was beating like a drum, but he was reluctant to leave and dared not leave. "Then... is my brother okay?"

"It's not just Sirius, it's fine." The smile on Dongfang Shuo's face became more and more ambiguous. "Your son is fine too."

At the foot of Nanshan, a group of cavalry galloped past down the hillside.A hundred steps away from the target, the archer raised his bow and shot three arrows in a row.The arrow flew away, shooting at the dummy made of grass.The straw man is tied tightly, and as long as the arrow hits, it is almost impossible to miss the target.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry galloped up to the straw man, swung the saber in his hand, and slashed at the head and shoulders of the straw man.The knife flashed, and the straw man was hit by the knife.

"Middle!" A young Qiang man with a shaved head but tied up the rest of his hair into a Chinese-style bun yelled, picked up a pen, and made a mark on the wooden board next to him.

Another knight rushed by, but he swung his knife a little slower, and the knife was still a few feet away from the straw man's back.Seeing this, another young Qiang man shouted in frustration, "Lost!"

Knights rushed past one after another, and the young Qiang people were very busy. "Medium" and "lost" are endless.The knights rushed past, regrouped the knights, and rushed to the next straw man array.The teenagers who were waiting at the side rushed over immediately, busy pulling out the arrows, counting the results, replacing the straw figures that could no longer be used, and preparing for the next practice.

Liang Xiao stood on the hillside, looked at the busy and orderly young man, and raised his thumb. "Xu Jun trained well."

"Junhou has won the prize." Xu Le said with a smile: "These young Qiang people are simple and undemanding. When they hear that they can study and have the opportunity to go to Chang'an, they all work hard. Junhou, after three or five years, they will be dressed like a monk. It's done, I'm afraid no one will recognize them as Qiang people."

Liang Xiao was happy.Although Xu Le is not the kind of eloquent person, he does things very well.He easily persuaded the leaders of the various tribes, not only selected the most elite fighters, but also selected a group of well-qualified teenagers to train them.Soldiers are already familiar with riding and shooting, and with a little training, they will be able to go into battle soon.The young people have been influenced by their ears and eyes, and after three or five years, they will also be reliable elites.

"Xu Jun, have you ever heard that the ancestors of the Central Plains people were also Qiang people?"

"I've heard that it was mentioned in Lu Zi (Lu Jia)'s "Xinyu", but many people think it is unlikely. He said that King Wen came from Dongyi and Dayu came from Xiqiang, which is inconsistent with what we know , for fear of speculation."

"Really?" Liang Xiao was both surprised and embarrassed.He wanted to show off, but unexpectedly he showed timidity.Xu Le has not only heard of this statement, but also knows that this statement is unreliable.

"Junhou, I know what you mean." Xu Le smiled. "I agree with your idea. If you can make these Qiang people think that they are of the same origin as my Chinese clothes, it will indeed help them assimilate them. Even if you don't say it, I want to do it."

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Xu Jun, I don't mean to follow the authority, but I want to know the answer very seriously. Although what Lu Zi said is wrong, it cannot deny the possibility that Dayu came from Xiqiang. Most scholars like to sit The books are buried in the study, but they forget that the real history is not only in the books, but also in the stories passed down by word of mouth.”

Xu Le looked at Liang Xiao in puzzlement.Liang Xiao's knowledge is average, and he rarely talks about these academic issues.He was quite surprised to take the initiative to mention it today.

"Xu Jun, what I mean is that the primary attitude of academics is to seek the truth. You can't deceive others for a certain purpose, let alone yourself, otherwise you will inevitably go astray in the end. Master Dong's induction between heaven and man is an example, which has already become a reality. As a laughing stock, I don’t need to say more. Xu Jun has the opportunity to get along with the Qiang people day and night, why don’t you listen to their stories with an open mind, maybe you will gain something.”

Xu Le thought for a while, then chuckled softly: "Your Majesty, the great China, is it really necessary to learn from these barbarians? As the Marquis said, they don't even have writing, drink milk, eat milk, wear clothes, leather shoes and leather shoes. Civilization can be said, what is there to learn?"

"Does it have to be written?" Liang Xiao squeezed his eyes and smiled meaningfully. "Wei Qihou Dou Ying said that I am not very knowledgeable, but I only know a little about "The Analects of Confucius". I would like to ask Xu Jun, "The Analects of Confucius" has so many sayings, is there ever a sentence?"

Xu Le was stunned, speechless for a moment.

"Xu Jun, I asked you to collect more stories about the Qiang people. I don't mean that the Qiang people are more civilized than us. I just hope that you can open your mind and embrace all rivers. The real strong never close themselves. With the wisdom of the master, I also asked Xiang Luan for advice, is it true that Xiang Luan is smarter than my master? Three people, there must be my teacher. The teachings of a saint can’t just be talked about, they have to be put into practice, don’t you think? "
