Chapter 320
"Please help me." Zhenan endured his grief and blew his nose, leaving no image.
Thinking of Zhen'an's arrogance when he was in Jianshi City, and looking at Zhen'an's miserable appearance at this moment, Liang Xiao felt both funny and a little unbearable. "Where is Lie Jiaomi?"
"I don't know." Zhen'an said, looking around uneasy, as if afraid that Lie Jiaomi would suddenly appear. The knights beside him also looked around, with panic looking.
"How many people do he have?"
"It should be around ten thousand cavalry."
Liang Xiao scratched his head a little. He roughly guessed Liejiaomi's plan: to use favorable terrain to trap Aliusu, and then use his superior forces to clear away the remnants of Yuezhi people who had no heads. After the reinforcements were wiped out, Aliusu would almost starve to death. At that time, Liejiaomi easily cut off Aliusu's head and dominate the land south of the Tianshan Mountains.
This is a besieging the city to fight for help, which is much easier than fighting with Aliusu.
But what's the point of guessing it? Can these more than a thousand people be able to break the siege of Aliu Su? I'm afraid that before I reach the valley, I'll be dealt with by Liejiaomi.
The most important thing now is to find reinforcements. Without enough troops, you cannot escape the encirclement.
"Where else can reinforcements be mobilized?"
Zhen'an's head shook like a rattle, looking discouraged. "No more, during this period, I have tried my best to invite all the reinforcements I can invite."
"Everyone?" Liang Xiao's brows frowned like a lump, and he wanted to kick Zhen'an. Needless to say, these reinforcements were sent to the Wusun people like Zhen'an. If he surrendered now, Liejiaomi might still reward him. How much help he helped Liejiaomi. He had tormented all the assets that Aliusu had finally saved up.
Zhen'an nodded repeatedly.
Liang Xiao was really crying and tears. It seemed that to save Aliusu, the only way to invite the Yuezhi people west of the Pamir Mountains was to the west of the Pamir Mountains. However, let alone they refused to come, it would be useless even if they were willing to come. The heavy snow had already blocked the mountain, and Weisuti's army could not cross the Pamir Mountains in this season.
Liang Xiao suddenly remembered someone. "Where is Tie Huali? Don't he have three thousand people?"
Zhen'an was stunned for a moment: "He is too far away. He is more than two thousand miles away."
A glimmer of hope arose in Liang Xiao's heart. Zhen'an said this, obviously Tie Huali and his subordinates had not arrived yet. It doesn't matter if they have more than two thousand miles. From Shache to Chigu City, there are oasis, one cavalryman and three horses. Advance at full speed, you can arrive at at most ten days. If you travel day and night, the forward can arrive in five days.
"Hurry up and go to Shache and ask Tie Huali to help. I will find a way to hold Lie Jiaomi."
Zhen'an was a little hesitant. "Tiehua left the guards of Shache, and the responsibility was heavy. The prince said that without his orders, Tiehua could not leave his post without his command."
Liang Xiao was so amazed and crying. When is it time to guard Shache? It is impossible to wait for Aliusu's order, and there is still a chance to wait for his head. He was about to speak, but Li Shuyun stabbed his elbow. "Sir, Tie Huali's mission is to control the mountain pass."
Liang Xiaoru Ru Ru woke up from a dream and couldn't help but shake her head. It's incredible to be smarter, but it's incomprehensible to be stupid. The Yuezhi people's internal guardianship is no less weak than externally. Weisuti's task is to prevent Aliusu from retreating to the west of the Pamir Mountains, and Tie Huali's task is to prevent Weisuti from crossing the Pamir Mountains.
"Sir Zhen'an. It's time to close the mountain after heavy snow? Otherwise, you can ask Weisuti to support him."
Zhen'an was stunned for a moment and slapped his forehead in regret. He was dizzy during this period and had forgotten all this. The mountains were covered with heavy snow, and the valleys of the Pamir Mountains were blocked by heavy snow. It was impossible for Weisuti to cross the Pamir Mountains.
Zhen'an did not hesitate anymore and handed over the hundreds of remaining soldiers he led to Liang Xiao, led a few followers, and immediately rushed to Shache.
Liang Xiao led his subordinates to move forward. When he passed by Kucha, he stopped and paid homage to the King of Kucha.
Kucha is one of the most powerful countries on the North Silk Road, second only to Wusun. It is said that there are 6,700 households and more than 80,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 soldiers. At present, no matter whether it is Wusun’s Hun Jiaomi or Yuezhi’s Aliusu, they dare not have any intentions to Kucha, and they can only treat them equally.
When Liang Xiao passed by Kucha last time, he was eager to go on a journey and did not visit the King of Kucha. This time he had a formal appointment from the court. He urgently needed to replenish war horses and accumulate energy. Ordinary oasis countries could not afford it, so he naturally came to King of Kucha.
It was said that it was an envoy from the distant Han Dynasty. The King of Kucha was very interested and met Liang Xiao. As soon as he met, he talked about the interesting news he had just heard: a long man was riding in a huge golden carriage covered with exquisite silk, which was said to have also come from the Han Dynasty.
When Liang Xiao heard this, he knew who the King of Kucha was talking about, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Dongfang Shuo is really not low-key. He can attract everyone's attention everywhere and his reputation reaches the King of Kucha.
Dongfang Shuo was indeed not low-key at all. His super-large four-horse carriage was already ostentatious enough, and he still didn't think it was majestic enough. He asked Tu Hu and others to wear uniform silk clothes, erect silk flags, and decorate his carriage with silk, making it magnificent, looking like a nouveau riche, and swaying across the market.
Speaking of which, his current style is exactly the same as Liang Xiao's way of becoming famous in Suye City, except that he is more rich than Liang Xiao.
When Liang Xiao arrived in Kucha, he also saw Lie Jiaomi. Lie Jiaomi led 10,000 elite cavalry, guarding the Wensu area, waiting for Yuezhi reinforcements to come to the door. Seeing Dongfang Shuo and his party, he was indeed a little surprised and a little familiar.
After thinking for a long time, he spitted. "The Han people are really ignorant of life and death, they are so arrogant."
Dongfang Shuo shook his sleeves, lowered his head to the front of Lie Jiaomi, and looked at Lie Jiaomi. "You are the eagle stroking the wolf's breasts, protected by the gods Wusun Kunmi?"
Lie Jiaomi was not short, but he was still very uncomfortable standing in front of Dongfang Shuo. He took a step back, raised his eyelids, and glanced at Dongfang Shuo. "Who are you?"
"I am born in the vast sea, raised by a giant dragon, and Dongfang Shuo, the son of the Eastern God Jumang."
The translator turned his eyes and opened his mouth. Dongfang Shuo said the vast sea and the giant dragon, he didn't know what Wusun language to translate into. When Lie Jiaomi saw it, he pushed the translator away, snorted, and said in a less skillful Chinese: "What a big tone. I know there is a sea in the east of the Han Dynasty, but has anyone seen the so-called giant dragon?"
Dongfang Shuo glared at Lie Jiaomi for a moment and laughed. "So you can speak Chinese, that's great. Oh, what a giant dragon? Anyway, it's the same as the eagle and wolf you said, it's all bragging, don't take it seriously."
Lie Jiaomi was amused and crying. He had seen many envoys, and he was the first one like Dongfang Shuo. But it was strange that Dongfang Shuo was so uncontrollable, but he couldn't get angry.
"What are you doing here as a Han Chinese?"
"you guess."
Lie Jiaomi couldn't help rolling his eyes. What kind of messenger is this? It seems that the Han Dynasty not only produced warriors, but also madmen.
"On a mission?"
"Yeah" Dongfang Shuo dragged his voice and shook his head.
Liejiaomi was patient and said, "Traveling business?"
"Yes" Dongfang Shuo dragged his voice and shook his head again, this time the shaking was even greater.
"Why do you have to be so arrogant if you are not on a mission? Why do you have to be so arrogant if you are not doing business?" Lie Jiaomi looked at the huge carriage behind Dongfang Shuo and the serious knight next to the carriage, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You are not traveling thousands of miles just to travel around, right?"
"Of course not." Dongfang Shuo shook his head, put away his smile, and said seriously: "I'm here to save you."
Lie Jiaomi's face twitched for a moment, and she couldn't help laughing loudly. After laughing for a moment, he turned around and left, looking at him disdainful. "Crazy! Unreasonable."
Dongfang Shuo was not in a hurry. He watched Lie Jiaomi take more than ten steps before saying loudly: "The Hunxie King's troops are over. Are you planning to return to Qilian Mountain?"
Lie Jiaomi suddenly stopped, turned around, stared at Dongfang Shuo for a few glances, and shouted sternly: "What did you say?"
"I said, the Huns in Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountains were severely damaged. Are you interested in going back? If you don't go back, the Yuezhi people will go back."
"What's wrong with the Huns in Qilian Mountains?" Lie Jiaomi strode back and shouted loudly: "Speak quickly!"
Dongfang Shuo spread his hands indifferently. "It's nothing. When you were besieging Dayuan, Liang Xiao went to Hexi and ransacked the Qilian Mountains and Yanzhi Mountains with the Yuezhi people and Qiang people. In addition, General Li of our great Han sent troops to Hexi, and now he should have swept the Xiu Tu Wang tribe."
Lie Jiaomi was inexplicably shocked and couldn't help but take a breath of air. He always thought that Liang Xiao had either returned to Dayuan or in an oasis south of the Tianshan Mountains, but he didn't expect Liang Xiao to go to Qilian Mountains and Yanzhi Mountains. The Huns launched a large-scale expedition to the west. Liang Xiao did not help Dayuan people defend the city, but he traveled thousands of miles to attack the Hunxie King's patriarchal land. This tactic was beyond everyone's expectations.
If what Dongfang Shuo said is true, then the Hunxie King's tribe is really over. After suffering this severe damage one after another, the Hunxie King's tribe is no longer afraid of it.
After being surprised, Lie Jiaomi felt a sense of ecstasy. The Hunxie King's tribe was finished, and the Yuezhi people were finished again. Then he was the strongest tribe in the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Liang Xiao inadvertently helped him a big favor. He looked at Dongfang Shuo and suddenly understood Dongfang Shuo's purpose.
"Are you here to form an alliance?"
"I'll say it again, I'm here to save you." Dongfang Shuo said word by word: "If you think that if the Hunxie King's tribe is defeated and you can dominate the other side, then you will be too naive. If you kill Aliusu, the Yuezhi people are incompatible with you. If the Hunxie King's tribe is defeated, your in-laws and relationship with the Hunxie King's tribe will lose its meaning. This time, you withdraw to Chigu City without permission, regardless of the safety of the Huns. Will the Huns let you go?"
Lie Jiaomi was stunned and didn't say anything for a while.
"The Huns were attacked in the rear and suffered heavy losses. They must wait for an opportunity to retaliate and make up for the losses to survive the cold winter. You are still entangled with the Yuezhi people at this moment, so are you not afraid of losing both sides and being taken advantage of by the Huns?"
Lie Jiaomi was silent for a while, and his eyes rolled. "What's the point of Mr. Dongfang?"
"It's very simple. Promptly land in Aliusu, seize the time to prepare for war, and do not give the Huns the opportunity to take advantage of it."—
