Chapter 614
Seeing that Liang Xiao not only brought the Yuezhi reinforcements, but also the Daxia reinforcements. Although there were only 500 cavalry, the emperor and ministers of Dayuan were overjoyed.
Dayuan was once a vassal state of Daxia, and Wuwu, and old people such as Meicai still had old feelings for Daxia. At this moment, they naturally had to welcome the people from their homeland. Doros and his heavy armored knights were given the most appropriate arrangements. If they were not worried that eating too well and gaining too fast weight would affect their combat effectiveness, they would probably have to gain more than ten kilograms on average.
Taking advantage of this heat, Liang Xiao made a request to Meicai: to replace the war horses for the heavy armored cavalry of the Great Xia.
Daxia inherited the Greek military system and did not pay enough attention to the cavalry because they were conservative. The reason why they suffered consecutive defeats in the battle with the Yuezhi was, on the one hand, because the heavy armored cavalry was not suitable for the cavalry and shooting tactics of the Yuezhi people, and on the other hand, because they lost the pasture in Hejiandi, the supply of war horses was tight, and the combat effectiveness of the heavy armored cavalry became weaker and weaker.
But Dayuan has horses, and Dayuan not only has horses, but also has the best war horses in the world. Although the five hundred war horses are not a small number, for Dayuan, it only hurts a little at most, and it won’t hurt the bones.
What's more, Liang Xiao made the suggestion, and the person who wanted to replace the war horse was Daxia soldiers.
Mei Cai hesitated for a moment and agreed immediately. However, he still made a request: "It is okay to replace the war horse, but others may be difficult to bear."
Liang Xiao patted Meicai on the shoulder and raised his eyebrows. "It turns out that I don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. You are becoming more and more stingy. Don't worry, Liang Xiao is never a difficult task. Please help me solve the problem of war horses, and I will find a way to do other things myself."
Meicai was a little embarrassed when Liang Xiao talked about the matter, so he hurriedly covered up a few words. Liang Xiao didn't expose him, and thought he really listened.
"There is something I want to discuss with you."
Mei Cai immediately became alert. When he was the deputy king, he could cooperate with Liang Xiao unconditionally. As long as he could bring him benefits, it would be okay to lose some Dayuan. But as he was about to become the King of Dayuan, Dayuan's losses became his losses. "What's the matter?"
"I heard something about Rome, but it was all old news. I was worried that we would only know the latest news when the Romans came to the city."
Mei Cai frowned, not very sure. "No, we are still separated from Rome by Kangju and Seleucus."
"The Antioch VII of Seleucid was killed in battle last winter, and the Sakhs rose strongly. If they fought and consumed each other, once the Romans arrived, whether they could stop them was a questionable question. As for Kangju, there were many princes inside and they were not convinced. If the Romans came over, it would be good if they did not kill each other, and they would still expect them to stop the Romans?"
Mei Cai was a little uneasy. Although Liang Xiao showed no signs about these things, he believed in Liang Xiao's vision.
"What should I do?"
"Many spies will learn more about the situation in Rome and be prepared for any trouble."
Meicai nodded. "Okay, I will arrange it."
Luo Xuli leaned on Liang Xiao’s chest, her fingers slashed through her chest, and her eyes were flowing. “What is your relationship with the people of Daxia? Why do you want to help them replace the war horses?”
"They are allies with me. The heavy armored cavalry will be my trump card against Lie Jiaomi. The higher their combat power, the greater my hope of winning."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Luo Xuli climbed upward, revealing her white and plump figure. "The heavy armored cavalry of the people of Daxia are getting fewer and fewer. These five hundred cavalry may be all Milan's cavalry. If there is no special reason, he will hand them all over to you? As long as someone with a little brain knows that this will be a fierce battle, no one can guarantee how many more of these five hundred cavalry can go back."
"Yes, because of this, I have to do everything possible to improve their combat effectiveness. I have to equip them with the best war horses, but also with the best weapons. I have sent someone to Suye City to inform Nie Yi, asking him to collect iron as much as possible and create new armor and weapons for the Daxia cavalry."
"What a big gift." Luo Xuli's eyes became unkind. "You didn't have so much courtesy when you married me. Is Mosuyeye more beautiful than me?"
Hearing Mosuyeye's name, Liang Xiao knew that he could not escape. He stretched out his arms, hugged Luo Xuli in his arms, and thought for a while. "Actually, strictly speaking, I haven't married you yet."
"What, do you want to regret it?" Luo Xuli jumped up, her pink face turned cold and the waves were surging.
"It's not regret, it's shame." Liang Xiao stood up and carried Luo Xuli over. "Do you know, when I married Aling, the emperor was the master of marriage, and more than half of the powerful people in Chang'an came to congratulate him. That momentum, hey, I don't know how to describe it."
Luo Xuli raised her eyebrows, murderous intent, and her little eyes were filled with grievance.
"She is a princess, and you are also a princess. I can't let you down." Liang Xiao pretended not to see Luo Xuli's anger and kissed Luo Xuli's forehead. "So I was thinking, what kind of etiquette should I use to marry you, so I would not treat you badly."
Luo Xuli turned anger into joy. "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Liang Xiao was serious. "Have I lied to you?"
"Hehe, what's going on with Mosuyeye?"
"Do you want to hear it?"
"I want to hear it." Luo Xuli rushed up again. "I want to listen to everything about you."
"Okay, I'll tell you all the things I've done in the past few years." Liang Xiao carried Luo Xuli to bed and smiled. "However, before that, some things should be done first, so that you won't be angry later and you won't let me touch you."
"Oh," Luo Xuli screamed and laughed.
After a rain of clouds and rain, Luo Xuli was already sweating profusely, weak all over, and had no mood to listen to stories. She snuggled in Liang Xiao's arms. "Actually, I'm not angry at all. You are a great hero, how could a great hero have only one wife? Alexander has more than a dozen wives. But I want to make a promise for little Hannibal. I don't want him to have no country like Hannibal of Carthage, and he will be betrayed in the end."
"Don't worry, I will teach him as much as possible. If possible, I will build a country for him. If it is too late, I will let him have the ability to build a country by himself, how about it?"
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
"Okay, I'm going to take him and fight with you."
Liang Xiaoruru woke up from his dream and turned over and sat up. "You have planned it long ago?"
Luo Xuli was proud. "Of course, what my grandson said, those who do more will win."
Although the King of Dayuan was reluctant to leave his daughter and grandson, he could not resist Luo Xuli and had to agree. In order to protect Luo Xuli, he armed all the Amazon female warriors in the palace and let them act as Luo Xuli's guards.
Meicai also acted very quickly and quickly mobilized five hundred war horses to hand them to Doros. Doros was overjoyed. Although he received a lot of gifts, the gift was definitely the heaviest and what he wanted the most.
Everything was about to stop, and Liang Xiao set off again. More than ten days later, he arrived at Suye City. Suye City guarded Creon and Nie Yi and other Han Shangs out of the city to welcome him thirty miles away. Just next to Suye Water, Creon set up a feast to welcome Liang Xiao and his party.
Liang Xiao was most concerned about the weapons of the Daxia cavalry. After drinking for three rounds, he pulled Nie Yi to one side.
"June, don't worry." Before Liang Xiao asked, Nie Yi understood, and his chest was slapped. "Although Bryant is very good at wine and lust, he has nothing to say about his skills. At most, wait two days for the heavy armored rider equipment to complete. I will prepare the rest for June and can be called at any time."
Liang Xiao was both surprised and happy. "So quickly?"
"Of course." Nie Yi smiled so hard that he couldn't stop. "With Junhou, let alone Suye City, the entire Dayuan is similar to a county in the Han Dynasty. Although the people of Dayuan are also good at doing business, in terms of strength, they are not the opponents of our Han merchants. No matter what, as long as Dayuan has it, we can buy it for Junhou."
"Thank you, thank you."
"It's not hard to make money." Nie Yi looked around and said in a low voice: "Junhou, when will you go west? Now that silk is traveling west, you will be exploited by Kangju people. If you can control Kangju like you control Dayuan, we can earn more. Junhou, we are all ready, enough for ten thousand cavalry to use two years of supplies and equipment, Junhou can call it at any time."
Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, but he also understood why Nie Yi reacted so quickly. It turned out that they had stocked up the goods long ago.
"Let me get the Wusun first."
"Okay, I'm waiting for good news from Jun." Nie Yi raised his glass, touched Liang Xiao gently, and drank it all in one go.
Five hundred brand new armor, five hundred sets of long swords, spears, and five hundred sets of horse harnesses were neatly placed in front of Doroth.
There are also Nie Yi and other Han merchants who are calm and quiet, as if nothing is happening.
Doros was crazy. The phoenix that fell off the gear was not as good as a chicken. Daxia had been declining for a long time, and there was only one empty frame left. Even though these five hundred armored cavalry were all children of nobles and their equipment was considered excellent, compared with the equipment in front of them, they were not much better than beggars.
"Is this...for me?"
"Of course it's for you." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "I don't have other heavy armored cavalry."
"How can you be so embarrassed, how can you be so embarrassed?" Doros said, but couldn't wait to walk up, picked up a armor, and refused to let go. Judging from his posture, whoever wants to fight him would probably have to fight.
Liang Xiao smiled and gave Nie Yi a wink. Nie Yi took his body and ordered someone to bring a big box and put it in front of Doros. Doros shook his hand repeatedly. "No, no, no, I feel ashamed of these gifts. How can I accept other gifts?"
Nie Yi didn't speak, and opened the wooden box to reveal a armor and a pair of battle swords. The style was not much different from ordinary armors, but the decoration was gorgeous. The helmet was not only carved with exquisite patterns, but also inlaid with a lot of jade. The sheath of the battle sword was even covered with gems. When the sun shone, the light was filled with colorful light, making people unable to open their eyes.
Daxia fell, and Doros was still a nobleman. When he saw such luxurious armor and weapons, all his reserve was lost. He looked at Nie Yi and Liang Xiao, but he just smiled foolishly, but he didn't know what to say.
"Doros, wear it and see if it fits."
"Okay, okay." Doros agreed repeatedly, and took off his armor and changed his clothes in front of everyone. It turned out that people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold clothes. Doros was originally a middle-aged man, but when he wore this new armor and a new battle knife, he was immediately majestic, like a god descending to earth, making people dare not look up to him.
Just as everyone was praising him, Doros fell to Liang Xiao. Seeing this, the heavily armored knights also bowed down together.
"I, Doroth, and my soldiers, here I swear to Zeus, the king of the gods, that I wish to follow the king and the lord to go through and die, and to fight thousands of miles. When the king and the lord point to the flag, we will move forward and never retreat. Those who violate the oath will suffer the pain of the eagle pecking their bodies forever and will not be protected by the gods."
The knights also solemnly swore, and for a moment, they sounded like a bell, with amazing momentum.
Nie Yi and others looked at each other and laughed. When Liang Xiao first came to Suye City, he raised the Han army battle flag in Suye City for the first time with the recruitment of Andrew and more than 40 old soldiers, and made great achievements in Suye City. Now with these five hundred armored knights, how much credit does Liang Xiao have to make?
After taking over the biggest opponent of Wusun, the Han people could walk from Chang'an to Guishan City, and maybe they could go further and all the way to Rome City.
It's exciting to think about it.
At the end of June, Liang Xiao rushed to the mountain pass and joined forces with Jianmi and Old Andrew.
After a long separation, I am excited and happy and unspeakable.
In a few years, Old Andrew had become a formal general in Dayuan. As he grew older, he no longer fought in person and became Jian Mi's deputy general and got along well with Jian Mi. Some of his veterans returned to their hometowns, while others remained in the army and served as instructors and logistics jobs, which were considered a bite of food.
Seeing Paris, Alexander and others grow up and become real warriors, and listen to them telling about their great achievements in the battle with Liang Xiao, the veterans are both happy and envious. The growth of young people shows that they are old. Heroes are always sad.
While the Greeks were excited about the reunion of their family, Liang Xiao also received news that Ma Rong had surveyed some river valleys in the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains and confirmed that it was the granary of the Wusun people.
Liang Xiao was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Where is it?"
Jianmi shook his head embarrassedly. "I feel ashamed to speak of it. In fact, that valley is not far from us. If you climb over the mountain in front and walk more than two hundred miles east, you can find that valley."
Liang Xiao followed Jian Mi's fingers and looked at the peak in the south. He pondered for a moment, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew where it was, and he also knew why Ma Rong appeared here, and he knew what Dongfang Shuo was making.
A leaf was blocked by the eyes and could not see Mount Tai. Lie Jiaomi's weakness was right in front of Jian Mi, but Jian Mi never thought of looking for it. If Lie Jiaomi had not accumulated enough strength in recent years, he would have probably traveled west along the river valley, returned to the old land of Wusun, and counterattacked Dayuan.
There was a place name in that river valley later in the later generations: Yili River Valley.
There is another alias: Central Asia Wet Island.-
