Liang Xiao took his four hundred steps and rode to Jianshi City. n∈n∈. In order to rush the road, each of him prepared three horses, one horse carrying clothes, armor and dry food, and two horses transferred. Fortunately, Dayuan had good horses and plenty of horses, and Mei Cai supported him with all his strength, otherwise this alone would be enough to make him bankrupt.

Before setting off, Liang Xiao repeatedly instructed Meicai. Regardless of whether the Yuezhi people were willing to form an alliance or not, the most reliable thing was himself. In order to strengthen the strength of the Dayuan Army, not only should we recruit existing soldiers as much as possible, but also Hu people. There were many Hu people in Dayuan, and there were more Hu people on the grasslands in the north. Last year, it snowed heavily, and many herders' cattle and sheep were frozen to death and had no livelihoods. They were wandering into Dayuan. As long as they were given stuttering, these people were willing to work hard.

Recruiting them to join the army is also to avoid being used by others, such as Chanfeng and the Huns. Chanfeng is always a thorn in Liang Xiao’s heart. He is familiar with Dayuan and has a certain appeal. Maybe there are some powerful people who secretly come and go. If he is allowed to become a big deal, the trouble will be great. Spending more money to recruit Hu people on the grassland to join the army is also a way to weaken Chanfeng’s threat.

Without an economic foundation, it should be the biggest shortcoming of Chanfeng. Liang Xiao hopes that Meicai can see the situation clearly, make full use of this advantage, and not give Chanfeng a chance to turn the tables.

Meicai agreed immediately. For this reason, he asked Liang Xiao to leave behind a few trustworthy knights to help Dayuan select and command the recruited Hu people. Liang Xiao agreed and left Guo Wu and a few Greek teenagers. He ordered Guo Wu to take them to Suye City to wait for his news after the recruitment was completed. After he met Aliusu, he would rush to Suye City as soon as possible to meet them.

After the arrangement was made, Liang Xiao and Meicai's confidant Wei Tu set off together. They traveled day and night, and it took only two days to arrive at Jianshi City. Outside the city, Liang Xiao saw Dalu Ashana who came to greet him.

Asha's face was not very good. He told him that when the news, the prince Aliusu sent an envoy back and took the opportunity to greet the queen, he made a request to the queen: to marry Dayuan Kingdom, he wanted to marry Dayuan Princess Luo Xuli.

Liang Xiao laughed before he finished listening. "Isn't he bad at being a woman?"

Ashana sighed. "Mr. Liang, in the battle last year, he collected a lot of Sai Zong and his former subordinates of Yuezhi. He had a great strength and called for a cavalry of 100,000, and his strength had exceeded the royal court. Now the queen can no longer control him. If he does not agree to his request..."

Ashana shook her head, with a hint of regret in her eyes. Liang Xiao was helpless when he saw it. In the battle last year, Meicai got a false reputation, but Aliu Su got a real profit. He occupied a lot of territory and collected a lot of people. Even if the 100,000 cavalry had moisture, his strength was undoubtedly increased.

Despite this, Liang Xiao still felt very unhappy. He wanted to marry Luo Xuli. Liang Xiao remembered what Batu said. Women are just tools for Aliusu, and what he really cares about is strength. If he wants to marry Luo Xuli, he probably still has a crush on the wealth and war horses of Dayuan.

Dayuan occupied the Fergana Basin, which is the richest land in Central Asia. The Yuezhi people occupied the old land of Daxia, and gradually converted from the previous nomadism to farming. After tasting the sweetness, they actually wanted to occupy Dayuan. If Aliu Su really wanted to annex Dayuan, the strong man Aliu Su would probably have to decide Central Asia, and Aliu Su would have the final say.

In a moment, Liang Xiao thought a lot. He tried his best to suppress the malice in his heart and asked, "What are the plans for the queen?"

"The little prince is gone, and the queen seems to be seriously ill and has a very weak body." Ashna shook her head again. "Now people's hearts are floating, some are flirting with the prince, while others have other plans. Rumors are everywhere in the Jianshi City. Two days ago, some people spread rumors that the queen is dead and the prince is about to succeed the throne."

Liang Xiao's eyebrows were frowning. It was really raining when the roof leaked. The boat broke and the wind was on the verge of the head. At the critical moment when the Huns attacked, the Yuezhi people were about to fight in internal conflict?

After talking for a long time, Ashan suddenly slapped his forehead. "By the way, Liang Jun. You are here in such a hurry, is there anything wrong?"

Liang Xiao smiled. They talked for so long, but they didn't remember the serious matter. He quickly told the news that Jian Mi heard, and finally said: "This news is too important and should not be taken lightly. People are still sending people to the grassland to review. However, the Huns will take action, which can be confirmed."

Ashana was shocked. He did not dare to neglect and quickly led Liang Xiao into the city to pay homage to the queen.

Seeing Liang Xiao, the queen was a little sad. It was Liang Xiao who took Batu away at the beginning, but now Liang Xiao is back, but Batu can no longer see it. According to Aliusu, Batu said in person that he would not come back. In addition, he had to go to Chang'an for thousands of miles and through the territory of the Wusun people and the Huns. Life and death are uncertain, and the queen is very worried.

"Can my Batu arrive in Chang'an safely?" The queen looked at Liang Xiao with begging eyes, and tears flashed in her eyes.

Liang Xiao bowed and bowed. "Please rest assured that the queen is accompanied by the three hundred elite mercenaries I have selected and the two most capable subordinates. No matter how many difficulties there are, they can protect Prince Batu."

The queen nodded and her expression relaxed a little. After a while, she asked again, "What if she can't get to Chang'an?"

"Even if I can't get to Chang'an, my subordinates will protect Prince Batu back to the queen." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Although this is the worst plan, it is not a benefit at all. The prince grew up beside the queen, enjoying the greatest maternal love in the world, but has not experienced the real storm. After returning, the queen will see a completely different Batu."

"Is that right?" The queen smiled with relief. "I can't wait to see him."

"Of course, if he could go to Chang'an and live for a few years, it would be more beneficial to his growth. My Han Dynasty has a vast territory and a wealth of talents. Being able to join them is a rare learning opportunity for the prince."

"That's great." The queen laughed happily. "I dare not expect too much. If my Batu is as outstanding as the nobles, I will be satisfied."

Liang Xiao secretly complained to himself. This unsightly old lady, such an outstanding talent, is not comparable to that of a playboy in Batu. However, under the short eaves, he had to bow his head. Now that he has to ask for the Yu Yuezhi people, he has to make the old lady happy first.

After accompanying the queen for a while, Liang Xiao said a kind word casually. "The queen is so blessed. Prince Aliu Su is brave and good at fighting, and he responds to him with one call. The little prince Batu is handsome and has no one in a thousand. In the future, Prince Aliu Su defeats Wusun, returns to the old land of Qilian, and re-trees the Yuezhi battle flag. The little prince is the most blessed person in the world."

The queen was so happy that she was humble.

Ah She's eyes rolled and quickly took over the conversation. "Queen, Chang'an is far away, and it will take several years to go. If the little prince is eager to study, it is possible to stay in Chang'an for another three or five years. Queen, you have to take good care of yourself, guard this land, and wait for the little prince to come back. If this is taken away, what's the use of the little prince even if he comes back? It's better to stay in Chang'an."

When the queen heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded away. She patted the back of the chair with her wrinkled hands and nodded slightly. "Yes, this is my kingdom of Batu, I have to help him guard it. No matter who it is, don't try to steal it away."

Liang Xiao was stunned and was about to speak, but Ashan winked at him. Liang Xiao suddenly realized and couldn't help but give Ashan a thumbs up. Sure enough, Jiang was old, Ashan's thoughts on the queen were very deep, and he immediately led the topic to the right path and turned crisis into opportunity.

This land belongs to Batu, and no one else should think about it. The Huns could not do it, nor did Aliusu.

Ashana said again: "Now the Huns are coming, there are only two northern and northern roads. The northern road is going to Dayuan. Dayuan is not strong enough troops, so it is difficult to stand alone. I dare to ask the queen to be approved and lead 5,000 cavalry to help Dayuan. The southern road is going to Yili River. Although the eldest prince is good at fighting, the Huns are coming in a fierce manner, so the queen should arrange people to respond as soon as possible."

The queen thoughtfully and nodded. "Yes, I should indeed arrange for someone to pick me up, and I cannot let one person and one horse cross the Pamir Mountains. I will guard this land well and wait for my Batu to come back."

Liang Xiao put a big stone in his heart. With this queen who protects the cub, guarding the mountain pass and preventing Aliu Suxi from traveling, this matter would be much easier. He smiled at Ashana. Ashana also smiled, smiling like an old fox.

The queen then decided to lead five thousand elite cavalry north to assist the Dayuan people in blocking the Huns. At the same time, she sent another important minister, Weisuti, to rush to the mountain pass. It was called to pick up Aliusu, but in fact it monitored Aliusu and prevented him from traveling west. From the east of Jianshi City, there was a valley road that crossed the Pamir Mountains and was about a thousand miles long. One man was the pass, and ten thousand men could not open. With these ten thousand elites blocked him, even if Aliusu had 100,000 people, he could not pass.

Before the Huns could be seen, the queen cut off the retreat of Prince Aliusu first, which was really weird to think of. However, Liang Xiao was happy to see this kind of internal strife. Compared with Aliusu's control of Yuezhi, he would rather let the Queen and Batu control the west of the Pamir Mountains. Aliusu was too strong, and such a person entering Central Asia would pose too great a threat to him. Next, he had to consider how to make Aliusu and the Wusun people fight to the death, and not to worry about Dayuan and Princess Luo Xuli.

Those are mine, so don’t be foolish.

Liang Xiao asked Weitu to accompany Asha to Dayuan, and he and Wei Suti rushed to the Pamir Mountains to meet Aliusu.

The envoy sent by Aliusu was also Zhen'an, an envoy sent by Aliusu. After learning about the queen's arrangement, Zhenan knew that his mission had failed and wanted to rush back to report to Aliusu immediately. Liang Xiao grabbed him and refused to let him act alone on the grounds of letting him be a guide. Zhenan had no choice but to walk with Liang Xiao patiently.

As they parted, Ashana held Liang Xiao's hand in front of Weisuti and said meaningfully: "Mr. Liang, this is dangerous, you should be more careful. If there is anything, send me a message, and I will fight side by side with you like last year."

Liang Xiao understood it and bowed—
