"Draw up?"

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, a little confused about what his mother meant.

Queen Yueshi looked at the huge stone statue outside the main hall, sighed, and said: "This Western Region has always been a land of the weak and the strong, and it makes sense to defecate with our fists. Once we hand over the military power, we only retain the financial power. It is our royal family that rules the Yuezhi Kingdom."

"But in fact, we are just puppets on a string. What really determines the future fate of the Yuezhi Kingdom is the Central Plains behind it. If we have a close relationship with Xianyang, it's okay. If the first emperor wants to change the queen, then our mother and daughter Where should we go?"

"So for future consideration, we must find a thigh hug in Xianyang and tighten our relationship with Xianyang. When Emperor Shihuang has an idea, he can come forward to help us with a few good words."

"And this Bai Su seems to be a good candidate. This person holds a high position and is young. He has at least influenced the court's policies for decades. If he is named the honored guest of the Yuezhi Kingdom, he will be the most important person in Xianyang. It is obviously a good choice for us to speak out."

Xiao Li was still a little puzzled: "What does Mother mean..."

Queen Yueshi looked at Xiao Li, and asked with a smile: "I see that Bai Su's name is often mentioned in your mouth, you said...how about letting you marry him in private?"

"Hey hey!!!"

Xiao Li's eyes widened immediately, and his whole body froze in place.

Chapter 180 Only Eight Hundred Elite Soldiers Are Enough

After Xiao Li lost his mind for a long time, he slowly came back to his senses.

There was a blush on her fair and pretty face, and she said shyly: "Mother...Master Mother, what are you talking about, how could I marry that rude person."

"This is not only for you, but also for the future of Yuezhi Kingdom."

Queen Yuezhi sighed helplessly, and said: "After becoming a vassal of Xianyang, our Yuezhi country not only has to rely on the breath of the First Emperor, it may...for some of the Great Xia generals who commanded the army and stationed in the Western Regions. Somewhat helpless."

"In case they do something to insult my Yuezhi people, how can we ensure the safety of the Yuezhi country if we have no connections in Xianyang?"

"This Bai Su is young, talented, and has a high position in Xianyang. He is indeed a good candidate for marriage."

"The ministers of Xianyang married the royal family of the Yue clan, and the vassal state and suzerain state became more intimate. The first emperor not only reduced his hostility towards us, but also gave us a protective umbrella in the Xianyang court."

"If there is any change in Yuezhi's country, we can also use his hands to report to the first emperor to maintain the safety of Yuezhi's country."

"If you are interested in him, then the mother will go and talk about marriage for you."

After hearing what his mother said, Xiao Li couldn't help hesitating for a moment.

To be honest, for a young, handsome, and "kind-hearted" court official like Master Bai, if she said that she has never been tempted, she would be lying.

However, the thought of hiding under the table in the past, the constantly shaking tablecloth, and the legs hanging down in front of her made her grit her teeth.

Xiao Li said with shame and indignation: "I... I don't want to marry that bad guy."

"This child..."

Queen Yueshi looked at Xiao Li's fleeing back, and couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

Her slender jade hands caressed her charming face, and there was a hint of sadness in her autumn-like eyes.

Since the Yuezhi Kingdom wants to be bound to Daxia, it is necessary to find a way to tighten the relationship with the important ministers in Xianyang.

Although Meng Tian, ​​the Protector of the Northern Court, has a high position and a pivotal position in Xianyang, but his character is too rigid and loyal to the First Emperor, no matter whether it is money or beauty, he can't shake her mind at all.

It's not easy to find a suitable partner, but the daughter is unwilling to marry him, what should I do?

......

......

"Is this the Yuezhi Kingdom?"

Meng Yi rode on the horse, pulled the rein with one hand, controlled the horse to stop slowly, and took advantage of the situation to overlook from the high hillside.

I saw in the distance, an exotic city towering in the distance.

The city walls, which are more than several feet high, the wide city gates, and the roads along the way are mixed with stones, and they are well rammed. You can see the traces of many carriages passing by, and the trade in the past was very prosperous.

However, at this time, this bustling city is full of smoke.

The city gate was crumbling, and many rebels gathered by refugees had surrounded the city and were trying to attack the city.

There are also many soldiers with different costumes, which are completely different from those of the Yuezhi people. Obviously, Wusun and Lou Lan secretly dispatched soldiers and horses to support this group of rebels and attack the Yuezhi country from inside and outside.

However, due to the lack of siege equipment, even the defenders several times larger than the city, faced with the rolling logs falling from the city wall and the arrows thrown from time to time, it was difficult to achieve any results in a short period of time, and fell into a protracted tug-of-war.

Bai Su rode on a maroon horse, stepped forward slowly, covered the sun with his hands, looked at the situation ahead with squinted eyes, and sighed: "It seems that the situation in Yuezhi Kingdom is not optimistic."

Meng Yi gave Bai Su a strange look, and muttered: "Isn't this your credit, my lord? If you hadn't dug a hole for the Yuezhi Kingdom, luring them to abandon farming and go to business, and cut off their food supply , is the Yuezhi Kingdom in such a mess now?"

Bai Su said helplessly: "No chaos, how can we meddle in the Western Regions? The first is good at conquest, the second is to attack diplomatic relations, and the second is to attack soldiers. This year, the Yuezhi is in trouble at home and abroad, so our soldiers in the Central Plains have fewer casualties, and it is easy to enter the Yuezhi Kingdom. , otherwise... such a strong city, how many soldiers' lives are you going to fight for?"

Meng Yi didn't expect Bai Su's ears to be so good, and he muttered something in a low voice, which was heard.

She suddenly scratched her head in embarrassment: "Hey, I'm just a straight-talking warrior woman, sir, don't judge me like that, I just said it casually."

"The reason why we were able to come here in just a dozen days and go so smoothly is all thanks to the adults."

Seeing her playful smile, Bai Su couldn't help being a little amused.

Meng Yi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "My lord, what should we do next?"

Bai Su rubbed his chin, looked at the situation in front of him and said: "First help the Yuezhi Kingdom to quell the civil strife and stabilize the domestic situation, and then go to the palace to meet the Yueshi Queen. After all... if you continue to let this group of rebels If the turmoil continues, the food and supplies we transported from the Central Plains will not be convenient to transport.”

Meng Yi heard the words and looked into the distance: "Solve the rebels!"

Bai Su looked at Meng Yi who was on the side, and asked, "How many people do you need to deal with this group of people in front of you?"

This time, in order to hurry, they traveled lightly all the way. At present, they only brought less than [-] fine cavalry with them, and the rest of the large army is still behind. It will take at least a few days to rush over.

And the group of rebels in front of them seemed to number forty to fifty thousand.

In the face of several times the enemy, if Meng Yi is not fully sure, then wait another day or two.

Meng Yi glanced at the densely packed rebel army in front of him, looking at the crude weapons in their hands, their yellow and emaciated faces.

She couldn't help but sneered: "Don't worry, my lord, these are just a bunch of mobs, they are not vulnerable at all. I only need [-] elite soldiers to solve the battle."

"Is eight hundred okay?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Su's face.

After all, what he is good at is rectifying logistics, and he has never studied martial arts, so he doesn't know much about the frontal combat between the two armies.

A confident smile appeared on Meng Yi's heroic and pretty face: "Sir, you don't know how powerful your improved iron forging method, stirrups, horseshoes, and hard crossbows for continuous shooting are. Compared with other countries, this is simply the difference between a tiger wolf and a lamb."

"If the arrows are enough, I just need to fight in formation. Even if the enemy army in front of me doubles again, I can easily penetrate them. What's more... this is just a group of mobs that came together temporarily, so I naturally don't take it seriously. inside."

Hearing this, Bai Su couldn't help but nodded: "That's very good. To be on the safe side, you lead three thousand cavalry to deal with them. As for arrows, military rations, vegetables and other supplies, I will contact the Mobei Governor's Mansion after entering the city." shipped."

"Young master is here waiting for my good news."

The smile on Meng Yi's face receded, he reined in his horse and turned around, his expression gradually became serious, a murderous aura spread from his whole body, quite like a general, Bai Su couldn't help sighing in his heart, he deserved to be Meng Tian's sister.

It's like a sharp sword, so sharp.

Thousands of cavalrymen were waiting for Meng Yi's order, and the horses snorted. As Meng Yi raised his hand, the cavalrymen all clenched the black horse sculptures in their hands.

The sharp tip of the spear shone with a cold light, and the clear and translucent edge was as clean as white snow. However, the blood stained in it, and the murderous aura and power emitted by it were enough to make anyone tremble with fear.

This is the ghost cavalry formed by the Xiongnu tribe who recovered the land of Monan, absorbing a large number of war horses, as well as the Sinicized Huns, and the cavalry of the Central Plains.

Not only has the superb riding skills comparable to the Xiongnu in the past, but also has the excellent equipment and tactics of the Central Plains.

Just like the name, it is as scary as a ghost.

Just as the name of Meng Tian, ​​the number one warrior in China, resounded throughout the grassland, Meng Yi also started her journey to the west today.

And the first enemy he faced today was the rebel army of the Yuezhi Kingdom.

Meng Yi's arm fell slightly, and the three thousand ghost riders whistled, pulled up the reins, and charged forward.

It was an almost overwhelming crackdown.

The black cavalry, like a tide, rushed towards the rebels in a mighty manner, and the places they passed were defeated, and they couldn't even delay the speed of the cavalry's attack.

It is clear that the gates of the royal court are already crumbling, as long as they persist for a few more hours, they will be able to capture the royal court, but this distance that seems to be within reach is so far away and so hopeless.

Not only the rebels were frightened by this scene, even the defenders of the Yue clan on the city wall were stunned for a while.

Who the hell is this... this group of black cavalry?

It's as terrifying as a tiger or wolf. The disciplined command, the crossbow arrows that hit the target accurately, and the flanking charge like a war machine.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Yueshi defenders, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Looking into the distance, on a high hillside, a young man in white was riding a maroon horse, with a huge black bird flag standing beside it, fluttering in the wind.

Chapter 180 How about the marriage between the two of you

Yuezhi Kingdom, in the royal court.

Bai Su was dressed in white, standing on the top of the city, from here he could overlook the scenery of the city.

As the king's capital of the Yuezhi Kingdom, the palace in the distance is extraordinarily magnificent, with white pillars standing around the surroundings, full of a sense of exotic and sacred, there is also a towering one on the square in the distance, nearly [-] meters away Tall, a huge stone statue of a woman holding a scepter.

Bai Su looked at the majestic building, and said sarcastically, "The place is not big, but there are many wonders..."

Meng Yi walked over quickly along the steps. She was wearing a compact black skirt, holding the helmet in one hand, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because the country is small and the people are few that we need more magnificent buildings to show confidence."

"As everyone knows, this is nothing more than self-deception. Without enough national strength, no matter how magnificent the palace is, what is the use of it? It is just a wedding dress for her."

Bai Su deeply agrees with Meng Yi's words.

Wherever the arrow passes, it is the truth, there is not enough national power to support it, all the prosperity, etiquette, and rules are just a flash in the pan.

He turned his head and looked at Meng Yi: "By the way, didn't you go to clean up those rebels, why did you come to me suddenly?"

There was a smile on Meng Yi's face: "The group of rebels have been completely defeated by me, and they have put down their weapons and surrendered. It will take more time to capture prisoners of war than to fight head-on, so I will leave this job to others. As for Why come here, naturally there is good news to tell the adults."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Good news?"

He glanced at Meng Yi in front of him with some doubts, and always felt that the smile on her face was a little strange, giving people a feeling like a female hooligan, making him feel like facing Liu Ji.

Meng Yi looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around, and smiled brightly on his face: "My lord, guess who I just met?"

Bai Su gave her a strange look: "Who else could it be? Could it be that your sister Meng Tian is here?"

Meng Yi shook his head: "Sister, as the guardian of Beiting, she still has to guard the land of Monan and beware of the Huns in Mobei. How can she lead the army here? I just met the Queen of the Yuezhi Kingdom, she said I hope to see you as an adult."

"The Queen of the Yuezhi Kingdom?"

Bai Su subconsciously glanced at the huge stone statue of a woman holding a scepter in the distance, and asked in confusion, "What does she see me for?"

Meng Yi shrugged his shoulders, with a smile that you understand on his face: "How do I know, I still need to ask her personally."

As she spoke, she looked around, and whispered in Bai Su's ear: "My lord, it's the so-called coercion of the emperor to win over his ministers. If your lord can get on line with the royal family of the Yuezhi Kingdom, it will be a big deal for us." There are also great benefits, the specifics are up to the adults themselves, and it will be inconvenient for the general to disturb you."

Bai Su's eyelids twitched, did he make himself sacrifice for the country?

Although he didn't know what the Yuezhi queen was looking for him for, but it was still necessary to meet him.

After all, the suzerain state and the vassal state have just been established, and the relationship is not yet stable, so many conditions need to be discussed in detail.

Just as he was meditating, there was a burst of crisp footsteps.

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, the footsteps sounded extremely light, it seemed to be a woman?

He turned around and looked, his eyes lit up.

I saw a slim woman in light gauze, walking gracefully on lotus steps.

The light yellow smoke cloud floor-length dress, the neckline is embroidered with gold silk brocade wide edge, revealing a large area of ​​wheat-colored skin, a moon-white belt, tied with a slender waist that can be grasped, and the slender waist makes the figure even more concave-convex There is cause.

The right shoulder is covered with a white gauze, the pattern of sun patterns embroidered with gold silk is extremely delicate, the blue silk is like a waterfall, and the black and smooth hair is coiled into an elegant hairpin. The golden crown is worn on the head, and the exquisite turquoise on the forehead.

Holding a golden scepter in her hand, she has a slender figure. Looking head-on, she looks noble and dignified without losing her charm.

On a delicate and fair face, with long eyelashes, curving black eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, and full red lips, what a beautiful young woman in the world.

Bai Su couldn't help feeling a little lost, he didn't expect this person to be more beautiful than the one on the stone statue.

If it is said that Sister Zheng gives people the impression that she is graceful and luxurious, with a hint of domineering majesty in every move, which makes people feel intimidated.

The Yueshi Queen in front of her gave people a kind of gentleness like water, which made people not feel the slightest sense of oppression. On the contrary, she was like a sister next door, making people get closer unconsciously.

Queen Yueshi glanced curiously at the young man in front of her who was already in high position in Great Xia at such a young age.

She saluted gracefully: "I have met Mr. Bai."

Bai Su bowed his hands politely and said, "The queen is polite."
