Chapter 331

Everything was arranged, Liang Xiao sent someone to invite Mo An out.∈◆,

After being captured, Mo An was kept in prison. He could not understand why the Han army appeared from the north side of Daban City and got the seal of the Boys's Duke. If it weren't for the silver seal, he wouldn't have been without any defense, and Daban wouldn't have been able to lose so easily.

When he saw Liang Xiao, Mo An was shocked. He had heard of Liang Xiao's name for a long time, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiao was so young.

Liang Xiao was very polite, and someone let Mo An loosen his head and pointed at Daban City, which had a fresh look. "General, how is my city built?"

Mo An looked around and felt a little sad. In just a few days, Daban City changed its appearance, which was stronger than before, easier to defend and difficult to attack. I often heard from the Huns that the Han people were good at defending the city, which seemed to be a false statement.

Seeing Mo An's eyes frightened, Liang Xiao smiled proudly. The Langguan and the Knights brought by Li Danghu were really helpful. Many people have rich combat experience and are also good at attacking and defending the city. With their help, the geographical advantage of Daban City was fully utilized and was as solid as a soup.

Liang Xiao tilted his head and looked at Mo An with a smile. "Can I ask the general a question?"

Mo An licked his chapped lips. "Sir... please say."

"How many people are there in Cheshi Country?"

Mo An hesitated a little and did not answer.

Liang Xiao smiled and asked again: "Do you know how many people I am a big man have?"

“I heard…a lot.”

"Even if I say it, you probably won't have any impression. Why not talk about it in detail?" Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Chang'an is the capital of my great man. It has a population of nearly one million. There are countless counties with a household registration of over 10,000 in the country. Take my hometown Guangling for example. It is just a small county in the border county, with more than 10,000 households."

Mo An was shocked when he heard this. There were more than 1,300 households in front of and behind the Cheshiguo Mountain, with a population of more than 10,000. Even a big country like Kucha was not as good as a county town in the Han Dynasty. The gap between the strength of the two sides was too big.

"We are not the Huns. We came to the Western Regions, not to be greedy for you." Liang Xiao walked slowly along the city wall with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression. "On the contrary, we can bring you wealth that you cannot imagine at all, as long as you can provide a safe environment, a warm smile, and necessary respect. After so many years, how many Han merchants have you seen? How many Hun merchants have you seen?"

Mo An remained silent. The Huns had no business. They just needed anything, just pull out their swords.

"I tell you all this. I hope that after you go back, you can tell King Che Shi to know who is the real enemy and who is the real friend. If he insists on joining the Huns and is willing to cut off his flesh and blood to support the Huns, then I can't help it."

Mo An was surprised and happy. "Sir... want to let me go?"

"Of course." Liang Xiao smiled. "As a royal family, you won't help me fight. Why should I force you to keep you? Although I have a lot of food and a lot of fine wine, I only entertain my friends." He paused and said, "I hope you will no longer be an enemy when you appear in front of me next time."

Mo An was very embarrassed. Liang Xiao's food and fine wine were taken away from him. In order to stay in Daban for a long time, he reserved sufficient supplies here. Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao was all cheaper and he made fun of him.

Liang Xiao released a few more Mo An's guards, gave them a few horses, and asked them to leave.

Mo An did not dare to neglect. He hurried out to the fortress and returned to Jiaohe City.

When he saw Mo An, the Cheshi Wang Moyu was shocked. Liang Xiao was stationed in front of Daban City, and Moyu did not dare to send troops out of the city at all. However, he was not worried about Daban's safety. First, Daban's terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Second, although Liang Xiao was at the city, he had never launched a real attack. Moreover, in his opinion, even if Liang Xiao attacked, it would not take a day or two. When Liang Xiao could not attack the city, he would send troops again. Perhaps he could catch Liang Xiao off guard.

He couldn't believe that Tazaka had lost the fact.

What shocked him the most was that Mo An told him that the boy servant Duwei was dead and his official seal fell into the hands of the Han people. It was precisely this reason that he lost Daban.

Mo Yu was completely confused. The Han people came from the north of the frontier and killed the lieutenant of the boy servant? According to the time calculation, it seemed that it was not long before he met him and returned home.

What exactly is going on? How did the Han people run to the north? Did they come and go from Pulehai?

Daban lost, the Pule people and the Han people joined forces, and the Cheshi Kingdom was already trapped in the middle by the Han people. The Tong servant lieutenant died, how did he explain to the Huns?

When things happened suddenly, Mo Yu was not prepared at all, and he was immediately instinctively unscrupulous. He instinctively wanted to send troops to retake Daban City, but when he thought about the strength of both sides, he still gave up. Even if all the Cheshi soldiers were assembled, there were only more than 3,000 people, and he could not conquer Daban. What's more, Mo An saw the city defense of Daban City with his own eyes. The Han people were fully prepared, enough to beat him to the point of bleeding.

Don’t think about Zuo Si, there is only one choice left: report to the Huns and ask for support.

The closest to Cheshi is the Hunxie King's tribe, but the Hunxie King's tribe is now in chaos and no one cares about Cheshi. Mo Yu had no choice but to send a letter to the Youxian King. Before the Youxian King's army arrived, he could only guard Jiaohe City tightly to avoid being attacked by Liang Xiao.

When Liang Xiao learned that the Cheshi people were closed and the city was not out, he breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he had more time to prepare. While strengthening the city defense, he trained the army and preparing to fight the Huns.

Soon, he received news from Li Shuyun. With the help of the Han army and Greek veterans, the Pulien people successfully repelled thousands of Huns, guarded Shuyu Valley, and controlled the Pulienhai area. It was much more difficult for the Huns to enter the oasis in the Dahe area from there.

Liang Xiao was overjoyed and sent a messenger to send the good news to various countries.

At the same time, he sent people through the territory of the Wusun people and sent the news to Dayuan. Heavy snow covered the mountains, and he would never return to Dayuan before June next year. However, the defeat of the Huns was decided and the war was coming to an end. The alliance between Dahan and Dayuan and Yuezhi once again won.

Suye City.

After more than three months of besieging the city, the Huns finally chose to give up. They lost more than 10,000 people, but failed to take a step into Suye City. They could be said to have come with excitement and returned in disappointment.

The solidity of Suye City is certainly one aspect, and the discord within the Huns is also a fact, but in the final analysis, Liang Xiao's surprise attack on Hexi was the fatal blow that completely disrupted their deployment. The Huns' front line was too long, and as soon as the battle began, they were sneak attacked by Liang Xiao in the rear, which made many tribes unable to fight with peace of mind and evacuate hastily, which not only weakened their strength, but also affected morale.

Among them, the retreat of Liejiaomi without fighting made the Right Xian King the most angry. It was precisely because of Liejiaomi's lazy battle that the Huns failed to take down the mountain pass fortress. The Right Xian King, who returned without success, was very angry and decided to teach Liejiaomi a lesson. He did not choose to return to the original way, but went to Wusun to find a statement to Liejiaomi, and then blackmailed him some food and grass to solve the urgent problem.

On the way, the Youxian King received an urgent letter from King Moyu of Cheshi. He learned that the Han army appeared north of the fortress, killed the Tongpuwei and conquered Daban. The Youxian King was shocked. He immediately thought of Lie Jiaomi. If it weren't for the tacit approval of the Wusun people, how could the Han people cross the Tianshan Mountains and appear in the north of the Frontier?

The Right Xian King immediately sent a messenger to question Lie Jiaomi, and at the same time accelerated his advance and entered Wusun territory. He had originally planned to find trouble for Lie Jiaomi, but now he had excuses and was even more fearless. Even if Lie Jiaomi came to Shanyu to complain, he had enough reasons.

The Huns retreated, and Suye City was filled with joy.

The unexpected tragic war ended like this, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Although Creon and Azhan were relieved, the people in the city were also ecstatic and celebrated.

At this moment, Liang Xiao's letter was sent to Suye City.

When Ashana learned that Liang Xiao had gone to Hexi, traveling nearly ten thousand miles, he once again severely damaged the Huns Hunxie King's tribe, seized the Daban Fortress, controlled the Pulehai, and blocked the passage between the Huns and the Tianshan Mountains. Ashana was deeply moved. This was the first time he had such an experience for many years of war. Even for the nomadic people who were famous for their erratic wandering, this kind of battle with thousands of miles was very rare.

This is a combat style that is more like a nomadic people than nomadic people.

Of course, what made him most relieved was Aliu's setback. After this battle, Aliu's strength was greatly damaged and he could no longer threaten the royal court. In the future, he could only barely confront Lie Jiaomi, and perhaps he would have to ask for support from the royal court. If Liang Xiao and the three heroes east of the Pamir Mountains were joined together, the royal court would be safer. Aliu might have to ask for help from the royal court to survive, and his strength was completely reversed.

Of course, this good news must be known to the Queen and the nobles around her.

Azhana used a fast horse to send the news to Jianshi City, while Kreon sent the victory to Guishan City. He once again defended Suye City. He proved his investment vision and also received generous returns, which was a gain of fame and fortune.

While happy, Ashana did not retreat immediately. He was a little worried about Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao had only more than a thousand people under his command, and no one dared to say whether he could defend Daban. He discussed with Creon that since Suye City was no longer in danger, he planned to rush to the mountain pass, first lift the siege of Jianmi, and approach Liang Xiao when necessary.

Creon agreed immediately and prepared sufficient food and supplies for Ashana, and asked him to rush to the mountain pass.

Along the way, Ashana cautiously maintained a distance from the Huns, but small-scale contact was inevitable. From the Huns, he learned from the Huns that the Youxian King did not return the same way, but entered Wusun territory. Ashana became more and more worried about Liang Xiao's safety. Although Liang Xiao and Wusun people should have some agreement, in the face of the pressure of the Huns, Lie Jiaomi might abandon Liang Xiao at any time.

Ashana sent an envoy to inform Liang Xiao urgently—
