Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 629
Che Yuan, the envoy of Che Shi, tapped on the wall of the car and said in a low voice, "Prince, Chang'an is here."

Che Yi opened the window of the car, poked his head out, and glanced at Chang'an City, which stretches between the sky and the earth, and couldn't help but gasp. "My God, this is Chang'an City? Such a high city wall is twice as high as Jiaohe City?"

The envoy of the Han Dynasty who was in charge of welcoming him heard Che Yi's exclamation. Although he couldn't understand, he still showed a reserved smile.He deliberately slowed down his pace, just to let these barbarians have a chance to appreciate the magnificence of Chang'an City.This has become a tacit practice among colleagues.As officials of the Daxing Temple, they are obliged to show the mighty power of the great man to the barbarians in all directions, so that they will have the awe they deserve.

"Almost." Che Yuan was also horrified. "However, compared to its height, Chang'an City is bigger. You see, the city wall stretches to the sky, and you can hardly see the end. It must be as big as ten Jiaohe City."

Che Yi didn't say a word, he looked at the bustling crowds on the roads on both sides, those young men in fresh clothes and angry horses, and the business travelers in a hurry, secretly startled.Compared with the size of Chang'an City, Chang'an's population made him even more uneasy.Before entering the city, the people he saw on the road made him feel that there were more people than Che Shiguo.

"How many people are there in Chang'an City?"

Che Yuan please re-translate.The re-interpreter smiled: "Do you mean inside the city or outside the city?"

"Is there a difference between inside and outside the city?"

"Of course there is a difference. In Chang'an City, there are mainly palaces, and the household registration is limited. Outside Chang'an City, the people are mainly people, and the household registration is naturally more."

Che Yi breathed a sigh of relief.In this way, Chang'an City might not be much bigger than Jiaohe City. "Then how many people are there in Chang'an City?"

"The exact number is not clear, it must be around [-]."

"Ten... ten thousand?" Che Yi was dumbfounded, as if he had been punched hard, and his mind was buzzing.The two countries before and after Cheshi add up to more than 1 people, and the population of Chang'an City alone has ten countries of Cheshi? "What about outside Chang'an City?"

"Counting the surrounding tombs, the total population should be more than 70."

Che Yi clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name silently, and decided not to ask any more questions.He has been completely stunned.There are more than 80 people in the capital alone, which is more than the 36 countries in the Western Regions combined. It is easy for the Han to conquer the Western Regions, and any resistance is futile.If you are a minister and pay tribute, you should be a minister and pay tribute. First you will be rewarded, and then you will be punished. It is better to be rewarded than to die.

Chongyi glanced at Che Yi, cocked his mouth, and chatted with Che Yuan. "I heard that your prince believes in Buddhism?"

Che Yuan nodded.

"What is a Buddha? I heard people who came back from the Western Regions say that people who believe in Buddhism do not plow land or weave cloth, and rely on others for food and clothing. Since your prince believes in Buddhism, is it the same? You eat leftovers from others and wear them as gifts." old clothes?"

Che Yuan was a little unhappy. "My prince is a nobleman of the royal family, and he will inherit the throne in the future. How can he eat leftovers and wear old clothes?"

"I think so too." Re-translation nodded proudly. "If that's the case, then it's really a way to subjugate the country. As a prince, you don't need to control the world with your heart, but you only care about the Buddha, what can you do? But you don't have to worry. If you submit to my big man, you will be my vassal state from now on. If you dare to bully you, the emperor of the Han family will send troops to protect you."

Che Yuan pursed his lips, looked at Chongyi again, and said nothing.He looked at the Han people around him, and sighed secretly.Although this retranslation is a bit crazy, it is true.The prince worships Buddhism, and his favorite thing to do is to practice Zen and enlightenment. He is indeed not a strong king.Fortunately, surrendering to the big man now, with the protection of the big man in the future, Che Shi can also be at peace.

At the gate of the city, after passing the inspection, Che Shi and his party entered Chang'an City, walked on the wide avenue, looked at the crowded crowd, and Che Shi was even more stunned, looking left and right, full of novelty.

"Did you see that gate? There is a soldier standing in front of the gate, the one with the halberd." Chong Yi pointed to the Champion Hou Mansion across the street, envious. "That's the mansion of the champion Hou Liang Boming, rewarded by the emperor, the first district of Jiadi, and open to the street. This is a great favor from heaven."

"Champion!" Che Shiren looked over in unison.For them, no one can impress them more than Liang Xiao. It was Liang Xiao who attacked Jiaohe City at night, and Che Shi was controlled by the Han people until he paid tribute to the big man.

Che Yi also stared at the opposite door and looked again and again.Liang Xiao left a deeper impression on him, he almost died under Liang Xiao's knife.

"Okay, okay, don't look at it, there will be more opportunities to take a look in the future." Re-translation said: "The palace gate is on the right hand side ahead. Today, let's take a look outside the gate, and then go to the barbarian mansion to rest. When the emperor is free , I will summon you. I will teach you some etiquette while you are free these few days, otherwise, you will definitely lose your composure when you enter the palace."

The car masters turned their gazes to the right at the same time.After a short time, they came to the north gate of Weiyang Palace. When they saw the towering gate, the exquisite carvings, and the guards standing in front of the gate wearing armor and holding halberds, they suddenly felt short of breath and held their hands involuntarily. Hold your breath.Seeing these armored soldiers, they felt both a sense of familiarity and a strong deterrent force.

It was Liang Xiao who led the soldiers of the Han army wearing this style of armor to conquer Che Shi and the Western Regions.

Che Yi closed his eyes and kept chanting to Buddha.Only Buddha can keep him from fear, from war.

"Your Majesty, Prince Che Shi has arrived in Chang'an."

The emperor raised his head, looked away from a newspaper, and looked at Wang Hui. "Isn't it Prince Che Shi? What's the fuss? It's not Prince Wusun."

Wang Hui smiled. "Your Majesty, Prince Wusun should be here soon. Although the Western Regions are colder, it's spring now. Champion Hou and others have prepared for the winter, and they should be almost ready now. It's just that the journey is far away. The news is sent to Chang'an. Early winter."

"It will take at least half a year." The Son of Heaven pondered, "However, Che Shi's position is important. When the prince of Che Shi enters the court, our army will complete the encirclement of Wusun, which will be beneficial to the next battle."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"To treat Prince Che Shi well, we must let them feel the kindness of my great man, urge other countries to surrender to us, and relieve some pressure on Liang Xiao and the others. There is a strong city to rely on, let alone a strong attack, even in a field battle, Liang Xiao has no chance of winning. Speaking of it, there is still a huge disparity in military strength."

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the disparity in military strength that we need a general like Liang Xiao who can win by surprise. Otherwise, just send a random general and command a hundred thousand soldiers to conquer the Western Regions."

"A surprise win." The emperor pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Although it is amazing, it must also have sufficient strength. To defeat Sirius, he has already used many unique tricks, so it is difficult to win. If you want to deal with Wusun, it is definitely not a small plan that will work. I can't think of what he will use The way, can you guess it?"

Wang Hui smiled. "Your Majesty, how can I think of this subject. If I have such ability, I would have invited Yingying to go west a long time ago. How could I leave such an opportunity to him."

The emperor also laughed. "Wait for the car masters to rest for two days and recover, then lead them into the palace. I also want to ask Li Danghu what he has done in the car master these years. Only two or 300 people can control the car A teacher can be considered a meritorious person."

"Wei!" Wang Hui agreed, said a few more related matters, and then asked to leave the hall.

Li Guang walked towards him, stopped Wang Hui, and pulled him aside. "Has the Cheshi people entered the city?"

"Your news is quite fast. Why, do you want to ask about your son again?"

"Nonsense, I have been away for a few years, and I don't even have a letter from home. Can I not care about it? I used to hear people tell me about it, but now I finally have someone who gets along day and night. Of course I have to ask. Did your majesty say anything?" When will they be summoned, can I meet in advance?"

"You'd better wait at ease for two days, His Majesty will summon you soon." Wang Hui patted Li Guang's arm, walked past him, and hurried away.Li Guang snorted, looking displeased. "Of course you said it lightly. Your son is either by your side or in his hometown. Stay well."

Wang Hui turned around and said with a smile: "I want them to go further and make meritorious service, but they don't have that chance."

Li Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his anger into joy. "Of course, good men have ambitions everywhere."

Liang Xiao rushed to Jianshi City, and Ashina came out of the city to meet him.After the two met, they chatted a few words and then went straight to the topic.

Liang Xiao cuts to the chase, explaining that Sirius is Wu Dan, and behind him is Wusun Kunmo Liejiaomi.Now most of the 36 countries west of Congling have accepted, only the countries near the Tianshan Mountains are still hesitant because of the existence of Wusun.

Arjana didn't beat around the bush either. "Then the general is here to borrow troops?"

"Yes."

"The general avenged Aliusu and supported Batu. The Yuezhi owes me a kindness. The Yuezhi people repay their kindness and revenge. They can borrow soldiers, but there will not be too many troops. We also need to guard against the big army in the south. Xia, probably only [-] paces can be dispatched, and the time should not be too long, preferably not more than six months. If it exceeds six months, we cannot afford the supplies."

Liang Xiao was a little disappointed.The Yue clan is the most powerful of the several big countries in the west of Congling. He originally expected to borrow 1 to 5000 soldiers, but now he only has [-], which is really too little.Including the [-] people in Dawan, there are only [-] people, which is not enough. "

"Is this what the Queen meant?"

"Yes." Ashina hesitated for a while, and then said: "The queen is old and not in good spirits, and she is unwilling to make a big move. The five thousand steps were fought by Wei Suti and I. She didn't want to Willing to send troops."

"She would rather I not be able to fight Wusun?"

Ashana was very embarrassed. "In war, people always die. Aliusu is already dead. She doesn't want any more accidents to happen to Batu."

Liang Xiao understood.The queen was worried that Batu would be in danger in the battle, and she didn't want him to show his cowardice.If he fights against Wusun, Batu can only fight, otherwise it will be difficult for him to get the approval of the Yuezhi dignitaries.And there is always danger in going into battle. If she dies like Aliusu again, who will pass her throne to?

"I was wrong. I should let Batu come back and let the queen see what Batu looks like today."

"What else can he look like? Could it be that he is not Batu after he has been in Chang'an for a few years?"

"We Han people have a saying: In the fluffy hemp, you can't help yourself upright. Batu has been in Chang'an for several years, and he must be contaminated with the bravery of our Han people." Liang Xiao laughed and said: "We don't have any queens, our majesty Young and tough, with a group of warriors gathered around him, how can Batu get along with them day and night, so how can he not be affected by it."

Ah She was extremely embarrassed, Liang Xiao's words were a bit of a slap in the face.But this is no wonder Liang Xiao, the prince of the Yue clan was killed by Sirius, the Yue clan pretended to be deaf and dumb, and finally asked the Han people to come forward to avenge Aliusu, and now he was worried about Batu's safety and was unwilling to send troops to help, Liang Xiao It is normal to have some opinions.

Even he felt that this was very embarrassing, the Yuezhi people were strong men who used to roam the grasslands, when did they become so cowardly?Speaking of it, it is because women are kings, after all, they are not as strong as men.If Batu really became a warrior as Liang Xiao said, then maybe Yuezhi still has some hope.Otherwise, it will be annexed by others sooner or later, just like being driven out of Hexi by the Huns.

"General, when do you plan to leave so that I can prepare my luggage?"

Liang Xiao crooked his mouth. "You can wait at ease, I have to go to Daxia."

Ashina was surprised. "What are you going to Daxia for, borrowing soldiers? My Yueshi and Daxia have been at war for many years, and the two sides are deadly enemies. If you invite Daxia soldiers, it may be difficult for us to fight side by side."

"Don't rush to draw conclusions." Liang Xiao said lightly, and got back on his horse. "I was just entrusted by Mrs. Mosuyeye to send a message to his father. Of course, if he misses his daughter and is willing to send troops to help me, I will not object. Daxia's heavy cavalry is very powerful. If you can borrow more than a thousand heavy cavalry, it will be better than five thousand Yuezhi cavalry."

Ashina couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help retorting. "General, although the heavy cavalry of Great Xia are well-known, their prestige is not as good as it used to be. I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Really?" Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, noncommittal. "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Not everyone has the military ability of Marquis Wei Sutixi. Dalu, how about we make a bet?"

Ashina said nothing.He could tell that Liang Xiao was very upset, and he was deliberately provoking trouble.Although Vesuti's combat prowess is impressive, Liang Xiao is also a miracle.With his help, no one can say whether the Great Xia heavy cavalry can regain their former glory.If Liang Xiao helped the Daxia people to regroup in a fit of anger, then the Yuezhi people would be in trouble.

"Even if the general is going to Daxia, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Ah Shena breathed a sigh of relief. "It's been so many years, you come back to the Yuezhi, and you have to let me do my best as a landlord. Besides, you avenged Aliusu and helped Batu take over the military power. How can the queen not thank you. General, and in Yuezhi How about staying here for a few days and then worrying about it?"

Liang Xiao pondered for a moment, looked at A She for a while, and then slowed down. "Okay, for Dalu's sake, I'll stay for another three days."
