The Right Xian King was furious and cursed.

After preparing for more than half a year, the journey lasted thousands of miles, and gathered more than 100,000 troops to siege Suye City. As a result, the siege had just been for several months. Before the real battle had begun, the tribes were shaken and asked to go one after another. Especially the King of Hunxie, the King of Hunxi, who was stationed in Hexi, had been transferred to Dayuan and said that Liang Xiao appeared near Hexi, and they repeatedly asked for retreat.

But the first person to retreat was Wusun Kunmi Liejiaomi.

Liejiaomi gave up the task of attacking the mountain pass on the grounds that Chigu City was in danger and withdrew from Chigu City. The envoy sent by the Youxian King never came back, and probably died in a certain valley. Not to mention that the Youxian King could not find them, even if the Youxian King found them, he could not identify them as the black hand of Liejiaomi.

The Youxian King knew very well that Lie Jiaomi had never had him in his eyes. He had the support of the Shanyu and the Hunxie King's troops as support, so he did not take him as the Youxian King seriously. According to the order of inheritance of the Huns, even if the Shanyu died, it would not be his Youxian King's turn.

Without strength, there is no dignity. If the Shanyu did not arrive, the Right Xianwang was not shocked enough and could not suppress the leaders of each tribe.

Within a few days, only half of the 100,000 troops were left. Except for the subordinates of the Youxian King himself, there were only King Rizhu and several small tribes that had no relationship with Hexi.

Can 50,000 troops capture Suye City? Neither the Right King nor Rizhu have been sure. Logically, the troops are sufficient, the siege equipment is well built, and the siege skills are much more skilled than at the beginning, and the chance of winning Suye City is not small. However, the Right King and Rizhu have their own selfish intentions: If Suye City is captured, who will Suye City be?

In terms of strength, the two were almost the same. In terms of status, the Youxian King was slightly higher, but the height was limited. In terms of Shanyu's authorization, the Youxian King was the main general, and the Rizhu King was the vanguard, but in fact he was the deputy general. This was originally the arrangement of the Shanyu's personal expedition. However, when the Shanyu did not come, the two of them could not argue. They fought openly and secretly, but had no intention of siege the city. They had put a lot of effort into winning over those small tribes with average strength, but now they have a great influence.

A huge battle is about to end.

The Huns attacked the city one after another, but there were fewer tents outside the city. Kreon and Asana breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that the most difficult time had passed. Even if the Huns continued to attack the city, the possibility of breaking the city was greatly reduced.

They were all curious about what Liang Xiao did to make the Huns win without fighting?

Because he didn't understand, all kinds of speculations were released one after another, and the more he spoke, he became more and more magical. Some people said that Liang Xiao ambushed the Xiongnu Khan, and the Huns crowds had long heads; some people said that Liang Xiao was outside the city and shot hundreds of Xiongnu people every day. The missing Huns were killed by him; and even more, they said that Liang Xiao received the blessing of the sun god Apollo and obtained divine power. He easily defeated the Huns.

Various statements have become the best topic of talk for the soldiers and civilians in the city. Many people rushed to the Temple of Apollo to present tribute to Apollo. Some even discussed giving Liang Xiao a statue so that he could enjoy the admiration of the people of Suye City.

Liang Xiao didn't know that he was about to become a god, so he was traveling back to Chigu day and night.

Even with Li Danghu and others, and the Yuezhi people who were willing to follow him and went to save Prince Aliu of Yuezhi with him, he had only more than a thousand cavalry. Can this number of people save Aliusu? He even had no idea whether Aliusu could wait for him to save him.

He had to consider. If Aliusu could not be rescued, how could he prevent the Wusun people from becoming popular?

At this time, Huangfu Qi made another suggestion: to form an alliance with the Wusun people.

Liang Xiao was unable to make a decision and invited Dongfang Shuo and Li Danghu Li Shuyun to discuss. Although Li Danghu's official position is not as good as Li Shuyun, Liang Xiao and others, including Li Shuyun, respect him very much and treat him as their elder brother. They do not simply judge the level of official position.

After listening to Huangfu Qi's suggestion, Dongfang Shuo first expressed his approval. He said that for the Han people, it doesn't matter who they allege with. It's important that they can't let real strong people appear in the Western Regions. Aliusu is obviously not a person who is willing to obey people's mercy. Even if he is rescued, the alliance may not be possible. Instead of doing this, it's better to let them restrain each other so that the Han people can benefit from it.

What's more, Aliusu is probably dead now, and it is too risky to put hope on him. It is very necessary to send someone to find out the truth first.

Liang Xiao followed Dongfang Shuo's advice and asked Dongfang Shuo and Huangfu Qi to go together. In order to ensure Dongfang Shuo's safety, he sent Tu Hu and ten other knights to escort him. In case of precautions, Pu Jia sent two confidants back to Pu Lihai, summoned the remaining troops and were ready to respond at any time.

Dongfang Shuo immediately set off, rushed to Chigu.

In order to rush the road, Liang Xiao did not return without the original road, and led the way by several merchants and Xiaoyuezhi people, plunged into the desert and headed straight to Loulan.

Since entering the Western Regions, Liang Xiao has either run wildly on the grassland or walking along the oasis, seeing the desert, but not really entering the desert. Occasionally, he has walked into the desert, and the time is short, and he has not really experienced the hard work of trekking in the endless desert.

This time, he personally experienced the dangers of the desert.

During the day, the sun is in the sky, and the sun is so hot that it is so sunny that it is so hot that it can be worn shirtless. At night, the cold is so cold that it is trembling. People who have not experienced it personally will never imagine the feeling of ice and fire in one day and night.

What's even more terrifying is the lack of water. Before entering the desert, they filled all the containers with water. The Xiaoyuezhi people of Puli repeatedly told them to save water, but when they became thirsty, the knights who had just arrived from Chang'an didn't care about so much, picked up the water bag and poured them. Pujia was so anxious that they repeatedly begged Liang Xiao to order to control the drinking water, otherwise it would be difficult to get out of the desert.

Liang Xiao also knew the danger of the desert. Once water was short, the losses would be heavy. He repeatedly explained the situation to the knights, and even refused to hesitate to issue military orders, so he barely controlled the situation. Even so, many knights could not bear the torment of thirst and secretly drank water.

Twelve days later, when they walked out of the White Dragon Pile and saw the winding rivers on the west coast of Puchang Sea, the feeling of escaping from death was so great.

After walking up the river, they walked for another three days. They arrived at the country of Yuli and met Zhen'an.

When he saw Liang Xiao, Zhen'an's face was extremely rich, with joy and sorrow, shame and shame, glory and helplessness mixed together.

"Where is the envoy...come from?" Zhenan asked with a very casual look.

Liang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little funny. It's so far, why are you pretending? He looked at Zhen'an and said lightly: "Come from Pu Changhai."

Zhenan was surprised, and was a little uneasy. "Why did the entourage go to Pu Changhai?"

"Because I went to Hexi first, and visited the Ruoshui area with Captain Maqi to see the scenery of the Yuezhi old place." Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "Prince Maqi's archery skills are really good and he is generous. Look, most of our war horses were sent by him."

Zhenan was shocked. Liang Xiao even knew Maqi's name, and knew that Maqi's archery skills were good and generous, so he obviously saw Damaqi. He became more uneasy. He glanced at him and saw that there were many strange faces behind Liang Xiao, and most of them were Han people, so he became more vigilant.

"The noble envoy..."

"These are all my robes. I just arrived from the Han Dynasty." Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. "The Huns have all gone to Dayuan, and the Hexi is empty. They feel like they are entering a state of no one. The journey is very relaxed. How about the prince? Have you taken the Chigu City? Have you ever won Wudan?"

Zhen'an could no longer hold on, so he took two steps forward and led Liang Xiao's horse reins. "Empress, save my prince. If you don't come again, I really can't hold on. In the past two months, you don't know how I came here." As he said that, tears burst out from his eyes and burst into tears.

Liang Xiao was embarrassed to tease him again, jumped off the horse, helped Zhen'an aside, and asked carefully.

Zhen'an has been having a hard time these two months.

Aliusu was lured into Chigu by the Wusun people. Wudan immediately closed the valley entrance and cut off everything from the Yuezhi people. Zhen'an was originally with Aliusu. Originally, Aliusu hoped that the subordinates who stayed outside could open the valley entrance again and pick him up. As a result, after waiting for more than ten days, he could not see any reinforcements.

Aliusu had no choice but to send dozens of troops, including Zhen'an, to risk over the mountains and forests and contact their subordinates outside the valley. Only then did they realize that they had been trying to find a way to pick up Aliusu, but the Wusun people kept Gukou tightly and did not give them any chance. For more than ten days, they lost thousands of people, but the Gukou position remained unmoved.

Zhen'an sent people to sneak back to the valley and let Aliusu patiently stick to it. He sent people everywhere to ask for help, and did everything possible to recruit troops, continuously attacking the valley entrance, sharing the pressure for Aliusu. While suffering major casualties, Aliusu finally withstanded the attack of the Wusun people.

However, everything reversed with the return of Lie Jiaomi. After Lie Jiaomi led the army back to Chigu City, he stopped attacking Aliusu and instead attacked the Yuezhi people outside the valley. Without Aliusu's command, the Yuezhi people suffered heavy losses, and even Zhenan himself was injured.

"Lie Jiaomi is back?" Liang Xiao was surprised. "When did he return to Chigu City?"

"It's been at least half a month."

Liang Xiao estimated the time and felt relieved. Based on this time, the time was calculated, the time Liejiaomi attacked the mountain pass was not long. The mountain pass should still be in Jian Mi's hands. As long as the mountain pass was not lost, it would be difficult for the Xiongnu to transport the supplies of the Xiongnu to Suye City in time. If you want to siege the city for a long time, it would not be enough to rely on looting alone. If you persist for a while, they might have to take the initiative to retreat.
