Chapter 204 The absurd teenager
In terms of knowledge, Liang Xiao is much stronger than Mei Gao. In terms of conversation, Mei Gao can beat Liang Xiao eight streets. ◎,
After all, he is Mei Cheng's son, and he speaks much more elegantly than Liang Xiao. He is from "Poetry" or "Book", and he opens his mouth and comes, unlike Liang Xiao. After talking for a day, he is in plain language and can't hear a single elegant lyric.
As soon as Mei Gao opened his mouth, even though Guo Yu stuttered in his official words, he could hear that Mei Gao was not an ordinary person and immediately became a little more respectful. Liang Xiao was a little sour. However, the news that Mei Gao heard was enough to compensate Liang Xiao for his injured little heart.
Guo Yu came from the Western Regions and he mentioned the Great Yuezhi.
It is not surprising that Liang Xiao knew about the Great Yuezhi, but Mei Gao was overjoyed when he heard the name of the Great Yuezhi. He pulled Guo Yu and asked for a long time, and almost dug up Guo Yu's understanding of the Great Yuezhi, and could no longer squeeze out new things, so he barely gave up.
After saying goodbye to Guo Yu, the smile on Mei Gao's face disappeared without a trace, with a little more worry. "Your Majesty sent Zhang Qian to travel west and alliance with Yuezhi, it seems that he is about to fail now."
After hearing this, Liang Xiao realized that Zhang Qian had already traveled west. However, according to the historical situation, Zhang Qian should have been stranded in the Huns, and he had not even seen the shadow of the Yuezhi people. However, it can be seen that Liu Che's intention to counterattack the Huns has been for a long time, and he has been planning for a long time, but he has not received the support of the ministers and ministers.
Of course, the most important thing is that the blind Empress Dowager, if she hadn't been holding the little emperor, the little emperor would have been fucked away long ago, and those nobles could not stop him. Moreover, the nobles did not fully believe in the way of Huang Lao. In addition to Dou Ying and Tian Fen, there were also many Confucian scholars in the court.
"Why do you say that?"
"Didn't you hear Guo Yu say that the prince of Wusun has grown up and wants to avenge his father and is about to launch an attack on the Great Yuezhi. With the support of the Huns in Wusun, Yuezhi is definitely not an opponent and will be severely injured. Even if Zhang Qian finds them, what's the use?"
When Liang Xiao heard this, he felt relieved. He had long known that the alliance with the Great Yuezhi was not successful. Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was not successful, but rather broadened the horizons of the Han people and let them know that in addition to the Great Han, there was a broader world.
"A Xiao?" Mei Gao was a little anxious. "Do you have any solutions?"
"Me?" Liang Xiao was stunned. He looked up and down at Mei Gao. "What can I do if the Wusun people want to attack the Dayuezhi? I don't even know where the Dayuezhi is. Even if there is a way, what can I do?"
"Yes, what can I do if I know? It's a long way to go. It's beyond reach." Mei Gao clenched his fists, pounded his palms hard, and was very upset. "I hope the Great Yuezhi can hold on for a while, wait for our great Han to send troops, join forces with him to defeat the Huns together."
"Stand for a while? I'll see you. Unless..." Liang Xiao suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at Mei Gao, his eyes shining like a wolf.
Mei Gao was frightened by him. "A Xiao, what do you want to say?"
Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment. He was also a little scared by the crazy thoughts that suddenly appeared. However, this thought was like wild grass. Once it appeared, it could not be eliminated. It became more and more vigorous, and it instantly occupied his entire mind.
Seeing his eyes flashing and his expression changed, Mei Gao didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to ask. He had to hold his breath and wait for Liang Xiao to say it himself.
"Ziru. I have an idea that maybe it will make the people of the Great Yuezhi hold on for a while."
"What's the idea?"
"Our envoys sent by our Dahan, it is best to be a good person who is familiar with cavalry tactics, and to serve as an envoy to Dayuezhi to help them fight."
Mei Gao frowned and his eyes slowly lit up. "Yes, this is indeed a good idea. If I knew that I, the Great Han, were the alliance, and the Great Yuezhi people had confidence, they might be able to hold on for a while. If someone taught them the tactics of war, there might be a glimmer of hope. It was just a famous general who was familiar with cavalry tactics..."
Liang Xiao shook his head. "It's a long way to travel through the Huns' garrison. It's hard to say whether he can get there alive. How can he let the famous generals take risks? In my opinion, just send some cavalry officers who are outstanding in shooting and are well-versed in military tactics. Even if they fall into the Huns, it won't have any big impact."
"That's right!" Mei Gao suddenly laughed: "A Xiao, you are the most suitable person."
"I..." Liang Xiao laughed twice. "I also think I am quite suitable, but I have a mission now..."
Before Liang Xiao finished speaking, Mei Gao shook his hand and interrupted him. "I am the envoy, you are the deputy envoy. As long as you are willing, I will arrange for you to go. If Your Majesty blames you, I will bear everything and you don't have to worry about anything. As long as it is beneficial to the court and is practical, even if you are blamed by the emperor and get rid of office and return home, I will admit it."
Liang Xiao was very moved. He always thought Mei Gao was a scholar, but he didn't expect Mei Gao to be so responsible and his blood was even hotter than him.
Mei Gao took a breath and vomited again. "What's more, you took a greater risk than me. A Xiao, this time you go, it's very likely that you will die for a lifetime."
Liang Xiao smiled. "As you said, if you benefit the country, you will be free from life and death. What's more, it's not that easy for the Huns to capture me. Without 180 lives, they wouldn't have any idea of touching me."
"Haha, that's right, with your shooting skills, ordinary people really can't catch you." Mei Gao slapped Liang Xiao's shoulder hard. "That's it?"
Liang Xiao nodded vigorously. "That's it."
Mei Gao immediately summoned the officials to discuss matters. He talked about the difficulties faced by the Great Yuezhi, said Liang Xiao's suggestions, and finally said: "This is a very dangerous task and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I won't force you, who would like to follow Liang Xiao and stand up by yourself."
The Langguan and the knights looked at each other. They were all stunned by Mei Gao's words. They walked thousands of miles alone, crossed the Xiongnu's base to help the Dayuezhi fight? Why does this sound so untrue? However, seeing Mei Gao and Liang Xiao's serious faces, they became serious, without any joking.
After a moment, Xie Guanglong raised his hand. "Sir, if... I go, if I die, can the court give me a pension?"
Mei Gao said: "I can't guarantee it, but I will definitely apply to the court."
"That's my part." Xie Guanglong shook his shoulders. "Anyway, Yanmen has no chance to get promoted and make a fortune. Why not go to Dayuezhi with Lord Liang, maybe you can earn some credit."
Li Shuyun also stood up. "Sir, I'm willing."
Ma Rong hesitated for a moment and stood up. He was about to speak, but Liang Xiao stopped him. "Zi Jin, it's not that I have any doubts about your abilities. In fact, I trust your abilities very much. Because of this, you should stay here, after all, this is the main battlefield for my great man."
"Okay... OK." Ma Rong didn't insist, and retreated again.
After a while, two more men and a knight stood up. Liang Xiao nodded at Mei Gao. "It's enough, too many people, which is not conducive to action."
"Okay." Mei Gao said: "Let's go chase Guo Yu and see if he can arrange a guide and interpreter."
Liang Xiao and others caught up with Guo Yu and his party. After listening to Liang Xiao and Mei Gao's decision, Guo Yu opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
However, he finally pushed a young man in front of Liang Xiao. "Since the two adults are so strong, I can't stand by. This is a child Wenbin. He has been with me since childhood. Although he has no knowledge, he knows a little about the languages of various ethnic groups and is familiar with water plants. He hopes to help the adults with some help."
Liang Xiao was very grateful. Although Guo Yu had the purpose of making friends with them, in this case, he could hand over his son to him with just one word from the two little boys, and this kind of heroism was rare.
Liang Xiao bowed respectfully and deeply. "Thank you Mr. Guo. Please rest assured that if Liang Xiao is in his anger, he will not let the son make any mistakes."
Guo Yu smiled. "It's okay, we father and son have already held our heads in our hands on the business journey. If my son can follow the adults to make a little contribution, he will be considered a glory for my Guo family in the future. Wenbin, this is your opportunity, work hard."
"Dad, don't worry." Guo Wenbin was not nervous at all, but was very excited. His little black face turned red and he nodded repeatedly.
Soon, Liang Xiao and others were ready, nine people, twenty horses, and three Bactrian camels, which were enough for a month. The camel was specially arranged by Guo Yu. Compared with horses, although the camel was a little slower, it could carry weights. Apart from the fodder they needed, a camel could carry 800 kilograms of things, which was almost equivalent to three horses.
Liang Xiao set out with the Han Festival. From now on, he was the Han envoy who acted alone, shouldering the important task of the Han Han supporting the Dayuezhi to fight against Wusun.
Sitting on the back of a horse, even though Mei Gao and others had disappeared from the sky, Liang Xiao still felt a little incredible. Such a major thing was decided like this? I actually became the envoy of the Han Dynasty and wanted to support the Dayuezhi in fighting against the Wusun and the Xiongnu, but the emperor of Chang'an was still in the dark and had not received any news.
What will he react after receiving the message? Liang Xiao is very curious.
No matter how you look at it, Liang Xiao thought this matter was a bit reckless, too hasty, and even a bit ridiculous, but he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. When he thought of a few young people making a decision in a hasty way, and this decision was likely to change the direction of the entire history, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
It was the first time I finally looked like a real Han man, and I wanted to represent the entire Han Dynasty to go to the Great Yuezhi. So what if I travel thousands of miles apart? So what if I am not familiar with the place? I have been in a hundred years of life, and it is not so good.
Liang Xiao rode on the back of the moon, facing the cool breeze on the grassland, and was full of energy.
My heart was very hot and my blood was burning. Liang Xiao and others rushed westward, traveling day and night—
