Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 628

After trekking hard in the mountains for two months, Liang Xiao appeared in the upper valley of the Gasartes River.

As if smelling the smell of her hometown, Mingzhu seemed more excited, walking briskly, running on the grass that had just sprouted by the river, and kept raising her head and neighing like a laugh.

The Greek teenagers were also very excited. They talked and laughed, and unconsciously spoke in dialects.Having been in Han with Liang Xiao for many years, most of them could speak fluent Chinese, but when they came here, they instantly returned to their true colors, back to the true colors of the young men herding horses and sheep.

Liang Xiao also felt extremely relaxed.After crossing the Congling Ridge, it seems to have left the big man.Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once sent Li Guangli to conquer Dawan, the influence of the current Dahan has not really spread to the west of Congling.If it is said to be influential, only he is qualified to be a representative.

Here, he can live more freely.

Not long after leaving the mountain, Liang Xiao met Dawan's scouts. When they learned that Champion Hou had returned, the scouts were both surprised and happy, and immediately reported the news to the local officials.For the next journey, Liang Xiao walked very comfortably. There were people to pick him up and guide the way, and someone to arrange board and lodging. The most troublesome thing for him was the daily banquet.For a non-drinker like him, the biggest problem with these people was drinking.

It is not easy to get drunk with wine, but it is really uncomfortable to be drunk.

For Liang Xiao, drinking is hard work, but for those who come to Dawan for the first time, arriving in Dawan is heaven.The people of Dawan are wealthy, comfortable, and hospitable. Good wine and good food are available, and kabuki and dancers are also provided by beautiful girls.Although Liang Xiao brought more than 1000 people, for those rich people in Dawan, they could entertain them in every way.

The knights enjoyed the most honorable hospitality, and they were reluctant to return.If it wasn't for Liang Xiao's strict order not to affect the normal training, they don't know how many people's wine cellars they would drink up.

A month later, Liang Xiao came to Guishan City, and Vice Wang Meicai went out of the city fifty miles to meet him.

A few years later, Mei Cai has more gray hair, but her spirit is better.Seeing Liang Xiao, he greeted him with a big smile, held Liang Xiao's arms, and shook them vigorously. "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the general has changed from an ordinary official to a marquis of ten thousand households. It's really unbelievable."

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Vice King, don't say that. Without the support of the Vice King, I wouldn't be where I am today. Seeing the vigor of the Vice King, Dawan must have developed well in the past few years."

Mei Cai laughed. "Thanks to the general. The Huns were disabled, the Wusun people retreated to the Tianshan Mountains, and the Yuezhi people became allies. Dawan was at peace, and it has indeed been a few years to live in peace." Mei Cai paused, and then Blink. "Alyusu's death in battle is also good news."

Liang Xiao nodded knowingly.Aliusu is too powerful, if he succeeds the Yuezhi King, it will be difficult for Dawan to live a good life.

"Does the deputy king know who Sirius is?"

"I don't know, it seems to have fallen from the sky suddenly. Who is this person?"

"Wudan."

"Wudan?" Mo Cai thought for a while, and suddenly understood. "King Hunxie?"

Liang Xiao nodded.There was a little more fear in Mei Cai's eyes.Originally, he thought that the sky wolf was rampant east of the Congling Ridge and had nothing to do with Dawan.Now that Sirius is Wu Dan, he realizes how dangerous it is.Now that Wu Dan has strength, he will definitely join forces with Wusun to attack Dawan again.

"Dawan owes the general another favor."

"Hahaha...Vice King, you are out of touch. Not to mention that Dawan is a vassal state of my big man, we have the responsibility to protect you. Just talking about personal friendship, can I just sit back and watch Dawan be murdered by Wudan? Don't Forget, here is my princess and children, like my second hometown."

"That's it, that's it." Mei Cai Daxi pulled Liang Xiao into the car.His cart is very spacious, and there is a table in it, which is full of wine and fruits.It can be seen that Mei Cai is living a very nourishing life now.He warmly invited Liang Xiao to take a seat and poured a full glass of wine.

"Come on, I'll catch the wind for you first, and when I get back to the city, I won't be able to be the master." Mei Cai squeezed his eyes and showed an old and disrespectful smirk. "General, you have to be prepared. The princess is a little angry after waiting for you for several years."

Liang Xiao smiled, raised his glass, and drank it down.

-

Tu Niu'er knocked on the wall of the car and winked at Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao poked his head out, followed Tu Niu'er's finger to look into the distance, and stood up. "Vice King, thank you for coming to welcome me. I should have taken this opportunity to catch up with you, but now it seems that the date may have to be rescheduled."

Mei Cai laughed. "It's okay, it's okay, you go. It stands to reason that I shouldn't rush this first."

Liang Xiao got out of the car, stepped onto Mingzhu, waved to Tu Niu'er and the others to stay where they were, and urged the horse away by himself.

By the Gasartes River, a woman in white is holding a child, riding a white horse, holding the rein and standing, looking from a distance, it looks like a person in a picture scroll.Seeing the white horse, Mingzhu was quite excited, quickened her pace, and neighed.

The white horse turned its head, also neighed, stepped forward, and ran over.The two horses came together, sniffing each other, circling, spinning, wagging their heads and tails, indescribably excited.

Liang Xiao looked at Luo Xuli and opened his arms.

Luo Xuli smiled, raised her hand, and threw the child she was holding over.Liang Xiao was taken aback, and quickly reached out to catch the child.The child leaned on Liang Xiao's shoulder, giggling non-stop. "A... Weng, A... Weng." It turned out to be Chinese.

Liang Xiao was both surprised and delighted. "You taught?"

"I taught it." When Luo Xuli spoke, she actually spoke Chinese, with a Wu Chu accent.

Liang Xiao was even more surprised, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.How much effort does Luo Xuli have to spend to find someone who can teach her such an accent?Merchants in the Wu and Chu areas usually go to sea, and few of them come to the Western Regions to do business.

"How do I speak Chinese? Does it sound like your hometown accent?"

"Like, like." Liang Xiao was full of emotion, jumped off the horse, stretched out his arms to hug Luo Xuli, and walked side by side.The two horses laughed happily and ran aside by themselves.Liang Xiao looked at Luo Xuli and then at the child in his arms, smiling from ear to ear. "Did you name it?"

"Yes, the Han name is Liang Yu, and the Dawan name is Hannibal."

Liang Xiao blinked, feeling something was wrong. "Why these two names?"

"You Han people have a brave and fearless general named Xiang Yu, and Carthage has a general named Hannibal who frightens the Romans. I hope our children will be as brave and invincible as them in the future."

Liang Xiao glanced at the child in his arms who was grinning innocently. "But neither of these two people died well."

"If you want to be a general, how can you expect a good death? That's too greedy." Luo Xuli smiled slightly. "Husband, I hope he can run across the west of the Congling Ridge, from the horseshoe to the Mediterranean Sea, and become a hero who stands up to heaven and earth. Can you teach him?"

Liang Xiao looked sideways at Luo Xuli and couldn't help laughing. "You are so ambitious, this is not like you before."

"It can't be my fault, who let him inherit your blood." Luo Xuli giggled, hugged Liang Xiao's arm, and leaned her head on Liang Xiao's shoulder. "My father likes this child very much, and wants to keep him in Dawan and pass the throne to him in the future, do you think it's okay?"

Liang Xiao didn't say anything.He knew that Mocai had been coveting the Dawan throne for a long time, and if the king of Dawan wanted to pass the throne to this grandson, Mocai would definitely have an idea. "The child is still too young, it's too early to say this. Princess, your father has brothers, and you also have brothers. Why does your father still have such thoughts?"

"Because they don't have such courage, they only know how to drink and have fun every day. But my child has inherited your blood. If he is made king, Dawan can also become a big country that spans thousands of miles, no worse than a big man."

Liang Xiao's heart suddenly moved and he couldn't help laughing. "You think too much, the big man belongs to the Liu family, not my Liang family. My son's surname is Liang, not only has nothing to do with the big man, but also has nothing to do with the Huainan country. The only thing he can inherit is my title."

Luo Xuli blinked, and asked again: "Can't you grab it?"

Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.No matter how good Luo Xuli's Chinese is, her thinking habits are still Dawan people, which are quite different from Han people.If you fancy something, you will grab it, and you will grab it. You are not humble at all.He wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing that Liang Xiao was silent, Luo Xuli stuck out her tongue. "Did I say something wrong?"

"I can't say wrong, I can only say it's not the best choice." Liang Xiao smiled and said: "The big man is different from Dawan, but one thing is the same. Fighting by force should never be the first choice, brother They should help each other, not kill each other. Luo Xuli, if you have another child in the future, do you hope that he and Hannibal will kill each other for the kingdom?"

Luo Xuli bit her finger, thought for a long time, and rolled her eyes. "I won't have another child, I will have many more children." Saying that, he jumped up and threw Liang Xiao to the ground.Liang Xiao hurriedly lifted Han Nilong high and shouted: "Be careful of the child, be careful of the child..."

-

Liang Xiao was warmly received by Dawan's monarch and ministers.The king of Dawan is getting old day by day, and the government affairs have basically been handed over to Mei Cai.Naturally, the matter of borrowing soldiers can only be discussed with Mocai.After reuniting with Luo Xuli's mother and son for a few days, Liang Xiao personally rushed to Mei Cai's residence.

Seeing Liang Xiao coming to the door, Mo Cai came out to greet him in person, glanced at the only person behind Liang Xiao, Tu Niuer, and chuckled, "Are you so relieved?"

Liang Xiao knew it well, and asked back: "Why do I have to worry about coming to the deputy king?"

Mei Cai shook his head, took Liang Xiao's arm and walked inside. "I knew it, I won't misread you. Come on, let's talk about business. I'm so anxious to come to Dawan, I'm afraid it's not as simple as seeing the princess and my son?"

"That's right, it's for Wusun."

Liang Xiao told the general situation.He had mentioned to Mei Cai that Sirius was Wu Dan before, and Mei Cai also knew the danger in it, and was very vigilant towards Wu Sun.After a few days of repeated weighing, he had no objection to Liang Xiao's use of troops to conquer Wusun in principle, but only raised some specific questions.The most prominent problem is first of all the lack of troops, in fact, the distance is too long.

"For the issue of military strength, I plan to go to Yuezhi and Daxia. As for the route, I haven't figured it out yet. However, crossing Congling may not be an ideal choice. The men and horses can barely walk, and the luggage is too inconvenient .”

"Then are you planning to launch an attack from the north of the mountain?"

"It's hard to say now. Dongfang Shuo is investigating the battlefield in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. If he finds a suitable location, he will let me know."

Mei Cai was surprised. "Such an important matter, you didn't do it yourself, and left it to others?"

Liang Xiao smiled meaningfully. "We Han people have a saying, if you are covered with iron, how many nails can you drive? If you want to do something great, you must have a few close friends who can support and trust each other. Dongfang Shuo is a strange talent. He is different from others. He came to the Western Regions just to do something with me. Why can't I trust him?"

Mei Cai thoughtfully, slightly jawed his head.

The talks between Liang Xiao and Mo Cai went very smoothly, and Mo Cai agreed that General Jian Mi would lead an army of 6 to assist Liang Xiao tentatively, and provide enough food, grass and ordnance for one year.For Dawan, whose total strength is only 1 or [-] people, the [-] people is half of the mobile force that the royal court can call upon. Jian Mi once fought side by side with Liang Xiao, and his subordinates also include old Andrew and others. Hundreds of Greek veterans would definitely not be able to cooperate with Liang Xiao in the battle.Mei Cai is still sincere.

However, for Liang Xiao, [-] Dawan troops were far from enough, and he needed more reinforcements.Even if he didn't storm Chigu City, but had a field battle with Lie Jiaomi outside the mountains, he would need at least [-] to [-] horsemen.No matter how good his knights are at fighting, the number is too small after all.

Without any hesitation, Liang Xiao rushed to Jianshi City, asking to see Queen Yueshi.

-

Dongfang Shuo got out of the car, crossed his hips, looked at the fresh green river valley in front of him, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This should be Lie Jiaomi's granary." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance. "Ma Zijin, I will give you three months to survey and map the terrain here and make a model. I want to know every possible road."

Ma Rong frowned, raised his clairvoyance, looked around for a moment, and shook his head. "Three months is too short, I'm afraid it's not enough."

"If it's not enough, it's enough. It's already April, and we must launch an attack in July and August. Otherwise, we will have to wait another year until it snows. We can wait for a year. Can the army borrowed by Liang Junhou wait for a year? We can wait for him, but he can't wait for us."

"However, what if more people are sent to survey and map in order to catch up with the progress, and the Wusun people find out and leak the news?"

"That's a problem." Dongfang Shuo stroked his chin, pondering for a long time. "You can do it boldly, I will go to Chigu City to hold them back."

"What if we are found out?"

"In case you are discovered, don't resist, just let them catch you to Chigu City, I will come forward and hunt for VIPs. However, people can be arrested, maps cannot be robbed, every time you draw Make a copy of the map immediately and send it to Dabancheng." He paused, and then said: "Everyone is the same, don't be afraid of trouble, and the first goal is to complete the task."

He patted Ma Rong on the shoulder. "Don't worry, if you die, your son will inherit your title."

Ma Rong's eyes lit up immediately. "Nobility, I will also have a title?"

"If it wasn't for your chance to become a Marquis, what would Liang Boming do in the Western Regions? He would already be Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

"Well, sir, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task."
