Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 636

In Dabancheng, Li Danghu took the wooden chip handed over by the messenger, glanced at the engraving on it, and showed a little surprise.

The messenger was very nervous, he was a Cypriot, and after Liang Xiao came to the Ili River Valley, he surrendered to Liang Xiao.Because of his good performance and familiarity with the terrain, he got the task of delivering the letter.Liang Xiao said, if this letter is delivered, Captain Li will reward him.If it goes wrong, people die.

who died?Of course his family.So seeing Li Danghu's expression at this moment, he was very disturbed.

Li Danghu smiled and waved his hand. Someone took a piece of plain silk and handed it to the messenger. "This is a reward from the captain."

The messenger felt relieved, hugged Subo tightly, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.The silk of the Han people is exquisite, but ordinary herdsmen like them can't afford it or buy it. It's better to get such a reward than to reward him with a sum of money.

Li Danghu turned around and entered the room, stood in front of the map and looked at it for a while, then nodded slowly.

The message Liang Xiao gave him was very simple, just a symbol.This is what the symbol represents, only he and Liang Xiao understand, but it is different from his original idea.Liang Xiao found the granary of the Wusun people and occupied the granary. A big battle was imminent, but Liang Xiao didn't ask him to rush to support as soon as possible, but asked him to guard Daban City and pay attention to the Huns north of Tianshan Mountain.

Huns?Of course the Huns on the prairie had to guard against them, but after being hit hard by the main force of the Han army one after another, even if the Huns could gather together to help Wusun, what kind of troops would they have?In comparison, isn't it more important to rush to the rescue of Liang Xiao and work together to kill Lie Jiaomi?
Li Danghu didn't quite understand Liang Xiao's intentions, but he accepted the order.Since Liang Xiao left him in Che Shi, he will guard Che Shi well.Liang Xiao asked him to guard against the Huns, but he would not let the Huns pass through his garrison.

Li Danghu immediately adjusted his deployment, strengthened the defense of Daban City and Cheshi City, and sent scouts into the desert in the north of the mountain to pay attention to every move of the Huns.And Liang Xiao's order was conveyed to Li Shuyun in Pulei and Guo Wenbin in Dunhuang in time, so that they were ready to respond and attack at any time to contain the Huns.

Following orders issued one after another, from Dunhuang to Bancheng, all the tribes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains began to gather, and the war was imminent.

Lie Jiaomi crouched behind a huge rock, looking down at the valley in the distance, feeling as if his heart had been cut by a knife.

This fertile river valley was his most important pasture, but now it was taken away by the Han people's tricks.If he can't get it back in time, he will gradually weaken, his strength will be greatly reduced, and he will be slaughtered in the end.

He assembled an army of 1, but he did not attack for a long time.Although after more than half a month of repeated reconnaissance, he was sure that Liang Xiao's total strength would not exceed [-], but he was still a little uneasy.He repeatedly recalled Liang Xiao's previous achievements, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a trap.

Although he couldn't think of where the real danger was.

At this moment, he desperately wants to get a clairvoyance.It is said that the generals of the Han army all have this kind of artifact, which allows him to see far away.He searched in many ways, but found nothing.At this moment, he could only observe the situation in the valley with his naked eyes, and he always felt that he couldn't see clearly enough through a thick layer.

He is Wusun Kunmo, and it is impossible to get close to observe. This extremely dangerous task can only be completed by scouts.After all, listening to the scout report is not as real as seeing the situation with one's own eyes.Facing Liang Xiao's opponent, Lie Jiaomi hoped to see as clearly as possible. He wanted to find more details to verify his judgment, but the results were always a little bit worse.

He almost drove the scouts crazy, and he almost drove himself crazy.

Lie Jiaomi squinted his eyes as hard as he could, looking at a group of people running in the distance.There were not many of them, about a hundred or so, and they were practicing riding and archery by a shallow river.Lie Jiaomi always felt that something was wrong.From such a distance, he couldn't see clearly, but felt that the tactics of these cavalry were immature, and they were quite far away from the elite he expected.

There was the sound of horseshoes, and a scout ran back. "Kunmo, that's a group of kids."

"Child?" Lie Jiaomi suddenly realized and at the same time added new doubts. "What kind of child?"

"The Cypriots are all Cypriot teenagers. The older ones are about ten years old, and the younger ones are only five or six years old. They just know how to ride a horse."

Lie Jiaomi's heart tightened.Cypriots are the main constituents of the Ili River Valley. So many young Cypriots practiced archery here, probably not for gathering to fight against Liang Xiao, but more likely to fight for Liang Xiao.Otherwise, they wouldn't want to train near Liang Xiao's barracks so blatantly.

Of course Lie Jiaomi wasn't worried about hundreds of children, but he didn't relax like the others, instead he became more nervous.The Cypriot teenagers assembled for training, which can only explain one problem: the Cypriots have surrendered to Liang Xiao as a whole, and they no longer support and attach to Wusun, but instead attached to the more powerful Han people.In other words, it only took Liang Xiao a short month to gain a firm foothold here.

If he doesn't fight back in time and expel him, by this time next year, I'm afraid this river valley will completely belong to Liang Xiao.

Lie Jiaomi became more and more anxious, wishing to attack immediately, but hesitated again.

"Have you seen the barracks of the Dawan, Daxia and Yuezhi people?"

"I see." The scout swallowed. "But they have a lot of rangers, and they look so tight that they can't get close."

"You draw me the location of their camp."

The scout complied, and drew a grassland in front of Lie Jiaomi.Lie Jiaomi stared at the sketch and looked at it again and again, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.He raised his head again, looked into the distance, and suddenly realized.

The barracks of the Daxia people are very close to the camp of the Chinese army of Liang Xiao. Compared with the barracks of the Dawan people and the Yuezhi people, the barracks of the Daxia people look not small, but the location is obviously in the middle, even smaller than that of Liang Xiao. The central camp of the Chinese army is still in the middle, giving people an illusion, as if Liang Xiao is not the commander of the four-nation coalition army, but Daxia is.

Why did the Daxia people have such an important position?
-

In the north of Yili, about sixty miles away from the camp of the Chinese Army, there is a slightly gentle hillside in the midst of a steep canyon.

Liang Xiao and Doros stood on the hillside, holding up their clairvoyance, watching the heavy armored cavalry charge again and again.Sometimes they line up in a horizontal formation, sometimes they line up in a sagittal charge formation, sometimes they go downhill, and sometimes they go against the trend.

"It's almost done, we can fight." Liang Xiao put down his clairvoyance and nodded slowly.

"Really?" Doros let out a long breath, and a smile finally appeared on his stiff face. "It's finally over. If you continue to practice, I'm afraid that these knights will be stupid. Don't you see, they all look like their parents died, and they don't have any anger at all."

Liang Xiao gave Doros a white look. "That's what I want."

"Is this the result you want?"

"That's right, since you want to use them as killer weapons, you must first temper them into real killer weapons. When they go into battle, no matter whether there are 100 people or 1 people in front of them, they can remain indifferent. If there are fewer people, they will not steal." Xi, don’t be afraid when there are many people, move forward when you hear the sound of the drum, and retreat when you hear the golden gong, obey orders and be fearless, that’s the real weapon of death.”

Doros pouted, disapproving.He was not a new soldier, he had commanded heavy armored cavalry for several years, and his combat experience was no less than Liang Xiao's.In his opinion, Liang Xiao was too nervous, there was no need for it.As long as the Dawan people and the Yuezhi people can entangle the Wusun people and prevent them from escaping, once the Da Xiajia rides out, the outcome will be decided.

Doros didn't say anything, but he was prepared in his heart, and he wanted to use practical actions to prove his point of view.

A knight rode up the hillside, came to Liang Xiao, and whispered a few words.He spoke Chinese, and Doros could barely understand a few words, but he didn't know what they meant when they were put together.As soon as the knight left, he couldn't wait to ask, "What happened?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "The scouts found Lie Jiaomi."

"Lie Jiaomi?" Doros' eyes immediately rounded. "How many people are there, do you want to go back immediately?"

"What are you going back for?" Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Do you think Jiaqi can still fight after driving sixty miles?"

Doros was disappointed. "Oh, wouldn't that be cheap for Ashina and Jianmi?"

"No, Lie Jiaomi is just looking at our reality, his main force is still hidden in the valley."

"Wouldn't that be better, if you catch Lie Jiaomi, you don't have to fight."

"How can there be such a simple thing." Liang Xiao smiled without further explanation.He now believes that the dragon has nine sons, and the sons are different.Mosuyeye is very shrewd, but Doros is a very careless person. He is only suitable for being a general who charges forward, not for using his brain.

Not to mention whether Lie Jiaomi will give him a chance to snipe, even if there is, what's the use of assassinating Lie Jiaomi alone, the people of Wusun will soon elect one of his sons to succeed him. .What he wants is to defeat Lie Jiaomi in an upright manner, severely damage Wusun's main force, and at the same time subdue the hearts of the Yuezhi and Daxia people, and let them see what kind of miracles they can create under his command.

"Just train in this valley until I lure Lie Jiaomi here." Liang Xiao turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"Then when will you bring him in?"

"I don't know. You wait patiently, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year."

Doros was stunned for a moment, took off the gorgeous helmet, and scratched his hair blankly. "Next year? I must have heard wrong."

In Chigu City, in a large room, several dancers spun rapidly to the music, their skirts flew up, revealing their silk trouser legs.

Dongfang Shuo was sitting on his specially made big chair, holding a wine glass in one hand, keeping pace with the other hand, slapping the armrest, humming an unknown song, his eyebrows were beaming, relaxed and happy, and he seemed to be reluctant to return.

Arikan appeared at the door with two maids.When Dongfang Shuo saw her, he immediately waved and said, "Come on, come on, look how beautiful they dance. This is the dance in Kucha, I often watch it in Kucha."

"Want to go back to Kucha?" Arikan came quickly.

"Back to Kucha?" Dongfang Shuo was taken aback. "why?"

"Since you don't want to go back to Kucha, why do you want to watch the dance in Kucha?"

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help laughing. "It doesn't matter at all. There are good dances and fine wines in Kucha, but there are no such beautiful snow-capped mountains or such beautiful people. Dancers and fine wines can be called at any time, but the snow-capped mountains can't listen to my command. It’s impossible to go to Kucha with me, so I had to bring the dancers and fine wine from Kucha.”

A Ruikan rolled Dongfang Shuo's eyes, and sat down beside Dongfang Shuo. "Are you really not worried about the war at all?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Lie Jiaomi is no match for Liang Xiao. I'll just wait to hear the news of his death." Dongfang Shuo took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, "However, looking at it like this, I may not be able to fulfill my wish this year. gone."

Arkan's heart tightened. "What did you say?"

"I mean, Lie Jiaomi is scared out of his wits, so maybe he won't send troops to fight Liang Xiao."

"Impossible, the army has already assembled, how could it be possible to return halfway. In a few months, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow, and the wait will be another year. How can Kunmo allow Liang Xiao to occupy the valley with peace of mind and manage calmly."

"Yes, it's impossible for Lie Jiaomi not to know the truth that even you know." Dongfang Shuo crossed his legs and patted his thighs lightly with the beat of the music. "But this battle is of great importance, and he was terrified by Liang Xiao. It is not an easy task for him to make up his mind to fight Liang Xiao. Maybe he just wants to delay it until the snow falls. Withdraw the troops and come back, and it can be delayed for another half a year."

Arkan looked at Dongfang Shuo, hesitant to speak several times.Lie Jiaomi had been away for more than half a month, and would send people back with news every day, but he had no intention of fighting Liang Xiao.She also suspected that Lie Jiaomi was timid, but she didn't want to believe it.In her opinion, Lie Jiaomi may be cautious, but not timid.In any case, he is a hero raised by the Eagle God.

However, Dongfang Shuo's words made her very uneasy.She stared at Dongfang Shuo's eyes, trying to tell the truth from his eyes.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at her and smiled silently, as if he had read all her thoughts.

Arikan avoided Dongfang Shuo's eyes with a guilty conscience, and turned his head to look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.In more than a month, it will snow again in the mountains.If Lie Jiaomi didn't launch an attack within half a month, he might really have to retreat to the mountains as Dongfang Shuo said, and stay for another half a year.Although the river valley ranch was taken away, Chigu City would not be in a desperate situation all of a sudden, and it would not be a big problem to delay it for another year or so.

But in this way, will Lie Jiaomi still have the courage to become a teacher next year?
Arikan was skeptical.

Maybe, I should stimulate him, let him cheer up, muster up the courage, and fight Liang Xiao?Arikan hesitated, his eyes wandering.Dongfang Shuo saw it in his eyes, secretly happy in his heart, but there was no flaw on his face.

"Maybe, Lie Jiaomi still has another idea. Liang Xiao's current soldiers are all borrowed. It is impossible to stay for too long. When winter comes, they will naturally return to their own countries. But he forgot one thing, Dawan , Daxia and Liang Xiao are related by marriage, and the Yuezhi people are no exception. Mosuyeye was once Aliusu's wife. Looking at Dawan, how could he leave so easily."

Arukan became more and more uneasy, not even in the mood to say hello, so he got up and left.
