Chapter 630

Azhena came to the queen and explained the process of receiving Liang Xiao.

The queen was silent for a while, sighing softly. "Mosuyeye is indeed not a stable person. It is not my Yueshi's blessing that she colluded with Liang Xiao."

Azhe remained motionless, pretending not to hear.It was Aliusu's own idea to marry Mosuyeye. From the very beginning, the queen was not satisfied with Mosuyeye.Aliusu died in battle, and the queen also blamed Mosuyeye for a time.Now that Mosuyeye followed Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao had the opportunity to borrow troops from Daxia, posing a new threat to the Yueshi, and the Queen would naturally feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Ah Zena didn't speak, the queen moved a little. "Dalu, what's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, I've been thinking about it recently. I, the Yueshi, came from Hexi and traveled thousands of miles. Why can I gain a foothold here?"

The queen's eyes flickered and she sat up straight. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Great King Mingjian, our Yue clan established our country by war, and we can gain a firm foothold west of Congling Mountain because we are good at war. If we lose our force, will the Dawan and Daxia kingdoms allow us to gain a foothold? Why did Daxia take Mo? Su Yeye married Aliusu because Aliusu was strong, he would inherit the throne and would inevitably use troops against the four realms, Da Xia had no choice but to seek peace."

The queen shouted in a deep voice: "Dalu, when did you become belligerent?"

Ashana sighed: "My lord, it's not that I am warlike, but the situation forces me to fight. If we don't fight, Liang Xiao will fight. He has married Princess Dawan, and now he has Mosuyeye, and Aliusu’s original plan is exactly the same. If my Yueshi refuses to obey, Dawan will go to the north and Daxia will go to the south, will my Yueshi still have a peaceful day?”

The queen was furious. "You mean to say that Aliusu was right and I was wrong?"

Ajana fell to the ground. "My lord, aren't you worried about Prince Batu?"

"My Batu..." The Queen froze for a moment, her momentum slowing down a bit. "What's up with him?"

"Batu has been in Chang'an for several years, and now he has both civil and military skills. He is no longer the child in front of the king's knees. He has become a real warrior. He returned to the Western Regions with Liang Xiao, and together with Liang Xiao defeated the Sirius. He was reused by Liang Xiao. Guard Yangguan. If the king is unwilling to send troops, he will join Liang Xiao in attacking Wusun, and if the time comes because of insufficient troops, it will be too late for the king to regret it."

The Queen was furious. "Are you threatening me?"

"Don't dare." Ashina shook her head. "The minister is just out of loyalty, please think again, Your Majesty."

The queen was panting and pale.Being bumped by Azhena was secondary, Batu's safety was what he was most worried about.If Batu really wants to fight Wusun with Liang Xiao, then she can't sit idly by.

"How about this, you said to Liang Xiao, we need to discuss and prepare, let him go to Daxia first. If he can borrow soldiers from Daxia, we will send troops to help. If he can't borrow soldiers, we don't bother Him. As for Batu, I will send someone to notify him. This kid, Liang Xiao, is here, so he doesn't know how to come back to see."

"Then the king won't meet Liang Xiao? He avenged Aliusu."

"I gave him everything in Aliusu, isn't he satisfied?" the queen was indignant. "I'm not in good health, please help me to receive him."

Ah Zena had no choice but to nod yes.

Three days later, Liang Xiao politely declined Ashina's persuasion, and set off for Daxia.

Dongfang Shuo came to Chigu City again.

Lie Jiaomi was surprised when he learned that Dongfang Shuo had arrived.Because this time Dongfang Shuo did not come from the south of the mountain, but from the north of the mountain.Thinking of Dongfang Shuo's disappearance for so long and now suddenly reappearing, Lie Jiaomi felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

After meeting, the two chatted enthusiastically, but never mentioned the winter that just passed.Lie Jiaomi hosted a banquet, and as usual, he withdrew halfway, and Arukan received Dongfang Shuo.Aruikan was not as deep as Lie Jiaomi, so she couldn't bear it long ago. As soon as Lie Jiaomi left, she said: "What do you mean, sir?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at her puzzled.

"I sent Zuo Tu to look for you. Why did you avoid seeing me? What are you busy with this winter? Why did you come from the north of the mountain? What are you doing in the north of the mountain?"

Dongfang Shuo smiled without saying a word, picked up the jug by himself, and drank several big cups in succession.Arikan stared at him angrily, without saying a word.

"Let me answer your second question first. This winter, I have been dealing with various countries, persuading them to pay tribute to my great man. Although it was hard work, I finally achieved some results. All the countries east of Cheshi have sent envoys and protons to the east. The fast ones should have reached Chang'an by now, and the slow ones should have entered Hexi."

Arkan slightly frowned.She already knew the news, but Dongfang Shuo said it again, and the meaning of the demonstration became clearer.

"As for why I came from Shanbei, the reason is even simpler. I am lobbying the countries in Shanbei, hoping that they can also submit to my big man."

"Then... have you succeeded?"

"It hasn't been completely successful yet, but I believe they will agree soon." Dongfang Shuo thought for a while, and then said: "If it is fast, it will be about half a year. If it is slow, it will be about two years."

Ari was puzzled. "Why do you say that?"

"Isn't this simple? If Liang Xiao breaks Chigu City half a year later, how can these small countries refuse to accept it? If things don't go well, two years later, Cheshi Zhuguo will bring the main force of my big man to the Western Regions. The results speak for themselves.”

Arkan was astonished. "Will the main force of the Han army come here?"

"Don't be nervous. They didn't come here to target Wusun. To be honest, Wusun is not worth our big fight. They are just chasing the Huns' remnant enemies. Arikan, let me tell you the truth, my big man is planning an attack on the Huns The last blow. After this battle is over, the Huns can't even stay in Mobei, so they can only move westward. Considering that Dawan is also a vassal state of my Dahan, we must ensure his safety, so the main force of the Han army will continue to pursue Stop here until they are driven to the west of Dawan, or... kill them all."

Arikan gasped, and involuntarily covered his beating heart.The news is so shocking.The Han army wanted to launch a devastating blow against the Xiongnu. Once the Xiongnu moved westward, Wusun would bear the brunt.The Huns have a population of nearly one million, and even if they are remnants, there are 30 to [-]. Once they flood into the Tianshan Mountains, they will inevitably have an impact on Wusun.

Arkan stared at Dongfang Shuo's eyes, trying to tell the truth from his eyes.She has been with Dongfang Shuo for a long time, and she knows that Dongfang Shuo has a deep scheming mind. I am afraid that only Dongfang Shuo knows whether these words are true or not.If they want to get the exact news, they can't do it in less than half a year.After half a year, maybe Liang Xiao will come first.

"Can you answer my first question now?"

"Yes, that's the same sentence, how many people can you recruit, and where do you want to use it as a pasture?"

Arkan speechless.

Dongfang Shuo twisted his mouth and spread his hands. "Where is your sincerity?" He picked his teeth, and spit out a ball of shredded meat with a "pooh". "There are not many places suitable for living in the Western Regions. If you procrastinate for a day, the chance will be reduced by one point. If you still can't make a decision within half a year, it's better to give up this idea as soon as possible. When Liang Xiao captures Chigu City, I can only protect you. People. You also know that the soldiers who win the battle must ask for some rewards, otherwise, no one would give their lives.”

Arikan's face turned red and white, as if he had been slapped.

-

In the middle of the night, Arukan and Lie Jiaomi sat in the hall, relatively speechless.

They have repeatedly analyzed what Dongfang Shuo said several times, and finally came to a conclusion that they were reluctant to believe: Not only did Liang Xiao stare at Wusun, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an even regarded Wusun as a A plate of Chinese food was served.If it weren't for the fact that the remaining forces of the Huns hadn't been wiped out, he might send troops to the Western Regions now.

Lie Jiaomi felt an indescribable exhaustion.In the final analysis, Wusun can only rule the roost in the Western Regions, and when he really meets a strong opponent, Wusun is completely vulnerable.The Yuezhi people came and killed Wusun once.When the Huns came, Wusun had no choice but to surrender.Now the Han people who beat the Huns to pieces are coming again, can Wusun stop it?
"Where did Liang Xiao go?"

"I asked, but he refused to tell." Arukan thought for a while, and then said: "I suspect that he may have gone to Dawan or Yuezhi, or even Daxia. Without soldiers, he can't attack Chigu city."

"Do you think he will storm Chigu City?"

Arkan nodded. "I think he will."

"Even if Dawan and Yuezhi support him, he still cannot have enough troops to attack Chigu City."

"What if you add Kucha, Yuli and other countries?"

The corners of Lie Jiaomi's eyes twitched, his face turned blue.Kucha and Yuli are both big countries, if Liang Xiao gathers them all, it is possible to gather enough troops.Especially in Kucha, the general of Kucha, Jose, has always been on good terms with Dongfang Shuo, and recently he is looking for a marriage.If Wusun can be killed, Qiuci may become the largest country in the Western Regions.

Lie Jiaomi had to guard against it.

However, he was not reconciled to letting him surrender like this.It would be too childish to surrender after hearing only a few empty words from Dongfang Shuo without seeing a single soldier.What if Dongfang Shuo was lying?Liang Xiao wanted to storm Chigu City, is it true or not?The Son of Heaven is going to send out the main force to attack Wusun, is it true or not?
It's all Dongfang Shuo's words.

Lie Jiaomi thought for a long time, and finally made a decision. "Wait until he comes to the city. If he really can't beat him, it won't be too late to surrender. Even if Liang Xiao comes, he won't spare any casualties. He must be killed."

Arikan didn't speak, just nodded silently.

-

Liang Xiao crossed the mountain and entered the territory of Daxia.After taking out Mosuyeye's token, the Daxia soldiers did not dare to neglect, and sent the news to the capital as quickly as possible, and at the same time sent someone to escort Liang Xiao forward.Obviously, Liang Xiao's reputation had spread to Great Xia. Even though he only had a hundred or so riders, the people of Great Xia did not dare to be careless. They sent out a thousand elite riders to monitor them in the name of protection.

Liang Xiao was very calm.Having been in the Western Regions for so long, he already has some understanding of the general situation in the Western Regions.Great Xia used to be a great and powerful country, but now the fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and was beaten into a mess by the Yuezhi people.At this time, even if there is no relationship with Mosuyeye, the Daxia people will not take the initiative to provoke troubles, otherwise the Han people and the Yue clan can easily destroy Daxia.

After walking forward for two days, Liang Xiao met the Great Xia General Milan who came to greet him.Mi Lan was nearly fifty years old, with a stout body and full of air when speaking.As soon as he saw Liang Xiao, he nodded to express his satisfaction.

"My daughter has vision, you are much better than Aliusu."

Liang Xiao was a little embarrassed.Although he had a good relationship with Mosuyeye, he didn't officially marry him. By saying this, Milan made a private matter public.Liang Xiao forced himself to calm down and stepped forward to salute.Daxia has a Greek heritage, so he specially performed a Greek salute.

Sure enough, Milan was in a good mood when she saw her. "As expected of a warrior from a civilized country, he is much better than those barbarians." He said, returned the gift, and pointed at Alexander and the others. "May I have a look at your warriors?"

Liang Xiao generously agreed. "Of course. If the general is interested, we might as well have a contest. To be honest, I also want to see the famous heavy armored cavalry of Daxia."

Mi Lan showed a bit of embarrassment, but still turned around and called out some knights, and asked them to put on their armor and mount their horses, ready for the competition.Liang Xiao glanced at it and was greatly disappointed.I don't know whether it's because of poverty or because the climate is too hot. These heavy armored cavalry are dressed in a relatively simple way. The so-called heavy armor is either seriously damaged or rough in workmanship.If one considers that these people are all Miran's guard cavalry and are the best equipped heavy armored knights, then the cavalry level of Daxia is really not flattering.

Seeing Liang Xiao disappointed, Mi Lan was even more embarrassed.

"Just so many cavalry?"

"Not all of them." Milan concealed, "I only brought a hundred riders, and there are more than [-] riders left in the camp. The armor of heavy armored knights is too heavy, so they are not suitable for long-distance marches. If you are not worried about the barbarians Attack, I won't take any."

Liang Xiao understood.The cost of heavy armored knights is high, not only armor costs money, but also horses. Even for a normal march, a heavy armored knight must bring at least two war horses.If you don't fight, it's really meaningless to take them with you.

"How many heavy armored knights like this are there in the whole Great Xia?"

"It's not much, and the total number is about 2000." Mi Lan sighed softly: "Heavy armored cavalry is too expensive, and there is no obvious advantage when going into battle. Many people are unwilling to equip heavy armored cavalry. I Five hundred riders is already considered too many, and the others are two to three hundred."

Liang Xiao smiled. "We're meeting for the first time, let me give Milan a gift, maybe it can make your heavy armored knight regain its glory."

Milan was both surprised and delighted. "What kind of gift can have such divine power?"

Liang Xiao waved his hand, Alexander brought a pair of stirrups, Liang Xiao took it, and offered both hands to Milan.Milan pulled it in her hand, puzzled.Liang Xiao gave Alexander another wink.Alexander dismounted and handed the reins to Miran.

"General, please send a knight to mount and try the power of this thing."

Milan was skeptical, but did not let the other knights mount their horses.He turned himself over and jumped onto the horse. Alexander walked over to help him adjust the length of the stirrup rope, and told him the key points when riding.Milan understood as soon as he heard it, and he lightly urged the horse to gallop.
