Although the elder Andrew has herded sheep for half his life, he has always positioned himself as a warrior in his heart, and he is a warrior from Greece.It's just that the situation is forced, time passes, and Huafa is gradually born, and these dreams can only be hidden in the heart, and there is no chance to realize them.Knowing that he could still be a warrior once, even if it was only for a few months, he couldn't ask for it, and he agreed.Liang Xiao also proposed to recruit Paris as his squire knight and learn to ride and shoot.Before old Andrew could speak, Paris couldn't hold back his joy, and shook old Andrew's arm vigorously and begged, so that old Andrew couldn't stand steadily, so he had to agree.Liang Xiao paid for several tamed horses of the Ande family and used them as mounts.These horses are not up to the requirements of war horses, but they are no problem for riding.In fact, compared with the war horses of the Central Plains, these horses are not inferior at all.Just walked on the grassland, and was in Dawan, a place where horses were born, and saw too many good horses, and the requirements were increased several times before I knew it, and I was no longer willing to compromise.Following old Andrew, Liang Xiao and others galloped on the grassland for three days, and found twenty middle-aged and elderly shepherds like Andrew.They are all of Greek descent, they used to be warriors in Great Xia, and later retired for various reasons, and they still have dreams of fighting on the battlefield again, and some of them even have weapons from the past, and they can take them out and play twice when they have time.When they heard that there was a chance to be a fighter, they all readily agreed.At the same time, they, like Andrew, brought their best mounts and offspring.They used to be foot soldiers, and they looked down on the horsemen a little, thinking that they were the only ones to do, but after decades of herding career, their riding skills were already very exquisite, and they were not weaker than ordinary barbarians.Two of you, three of me, Liang Xiao soon had more than seventy war horses, and almost every Lang official had three satisfactory horses: one war horse.Two riding horses.The 23 boys, including Paris, also had as few as two, as many as three, or even four, and some brought camels.Take these centaurs with you.Liang Xiao returned to Suye City.Nie Yi spent more than 5,000 gold to purchase more than 2,000 pieces of silk, including high-grade silk worth a few gold, and ordinary plain silk worth only about one gold.Knowing that it was an envoy sent by the imperial court to use it, many Han merchants were willing to sell it at cost price.Nie Yi purchased a total of more than 2,000 silk fabrics, far exceeding Liang Xiao's expectations.Liang Xiao asked Nie Yi to arrange to make a battle robe for everyone with ordinary plain silk, and then prepare the weapons and equipment they needed for the newly recruited Greeks.Nie Yi complied one by one.He was very efficient, and in just two days, everything was ready.When old Andrew led twenty middle-aged and elderly shepherds wearing iconic Greek armor and beautiful silk robes, wearing colorful brocade cloaks, holding shields and spears in his right hand, standing majestically in front of Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao's eyes couldn't help but light up.People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, these weathered old shepherds put on armor, and they really have such a noble atmosphere.Not only is it more than enough to be a guard of honor, but even if they are allowed to go to battle, ordinary soldiers may not be their opponents.This is thanks to Andrew Sr.Probably because he didn't want to be looked down upon, he singled out people who were under the age of fifty, who were physically strong, had no obvious disabilities, and still maintained a certain combat effectiveness.After the assembly.They are not idle, they gather together to practice whenever they have time, and they can endure hardships better than young people.In contrast, the costumes of teenagers such as Paris are not in addition to the absence of two dang armor.All of them are Han army riding ornaments.In the army of the Greeks, most of the archers were barbarians, and Paris and others certainly did not want to be regarded as barbarians, so wearing Han military uniforms became the best choice.For Liang Xiao, he also didn't want to be surrounded by a group of Greeks and barbarians, otherwise the priorities would be reversed.He became a barbarian.Liang Xiao appointed Old Andrew as the leader of the foot soldiers, and Paris and other twenty-three teenagers were commanded by Li Shuyun, Guo Wu instructed them to ride and shoot, and Xie Guanglong taught them to use spears.The teenagers were not convinced, but they were dragged by Li Shuyun and the three of them to the sea outside the city and beaten up, and their noses and eyes were swollen, and they were obedient from then on.After everything was ready, Liang Xiao held the Han Festival in his hand, accompanied by Guo Wenbin, with knights and foot soldiers, showed the identity of the Han envoy, and rushed to the official mansion of Suye City, asking to see the guards of Suye City.When this group of people appeared on the streets of Suye City, it suddenly became a beautiful scenery.The twenty Greek foot soldiers led by old Andrew can be said to have a strong Greek heritage in Suye City, whether it is the active defenders or those statues, such foot soldiers can often be seen.The knights, including Liang Xiao, were different, and it was the first time that so many Han knights appeared in Suye City, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.Many people stood on both sides of the street, looking curiously at these strange strangers.When they found that these people were all dressed in glittering silk robes, the atmosphere boiled.Silk is a luxury, even if it is an ordinary quality plain silk, it is not something that ordinary people can carre, and there are only a limited number of people who can make plain silk into clothes, and suddenly they saw forty or fifty foot soldiers and knights wearing plain silk robes, and the residents of Suye City were shocked at once.Even the merchants from the Han Dynasty were stunned by this scene, but they quickly noticed the costumes of the cavalry, and also saw the Han Festival in Liang Xiao's hands, and some people recognized Guo Wenbin beside Liang Xiao, and people kept crowding up to ask.Liang Xiao politely stopped, chatted with them, and took the trouble to show his identity and intentions.Hearing that it was a messenger sent by the imperial court to establish contact with the Dawan Kingdom, these businessmen who had been working silently in the Western Regions suddenly aroused, and they rushed to tell each other, and some people followed behind the team, unwilling to leave for a long time.Words are like the wind, Liang Xiao has not yet arrived at the gate of Suye City, and the news of the Han envoy's arrival in Dawan has spread throughout Suye City, and the people who came to watch it have three layers inside and three layers outside, and they are surrounded by water.The Sura City Guardian Creon also received the news, and he didn't dare to slack off and went out to greet him in person.As soon as he went out, he was startled by the crowd, and then noticed the battle robes on Liang Xiao and the others, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a golden mountain.Is Dahan so rich, even the soldiers are wearing silk clothes Seeing that there are more and more onlookers, Creon was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly welcomed Liang Xiao in.Li Shuyun led the young knights to stay outside the door, the old Andrew led the foot soldiers to stay in the vestibule, and Liang Xiao, accompanied by Guo Wenbin, Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo, followed Creon into the inner courtyard.The two sides sat down, and Creon took a lot of effort to take his eyes off Liang Xiao's robe and asked what he meant.Liang Xiao politely explained: I was ordered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to make friends with Dawan, hoping that the city guard could issue customs clearance documents as soon as possible, so I rushed to Guishan City to discuss the alliance with King Dawan.Creon cautiously asked about Liang Xiao's journey.Liang Xiao knew what he meant, and asked Pang Shuo to take out the heads and battle armor of the father and son of the Evil King.The head of the Hun Evil King is a little better, it has been salted with lime, and the human form can barely be seen, and the head of the Gulu Fox is about to fall apart because it was kicked by Liang Xiao as a ball, and he can't see anything at all.However, the armor of the father and son of the Evil King is telling, especially the helmet of the Evil King, which is not only very delicate, but also has obvious marks on it.Creon's face turned pale.Even so, he couldn't believe it.He felt that this was simply a myth, several Han envoys galloped thousands of miles on the grassland of the Huns, not only got rid of the pursuit of thousands of Hun elite horsemen, but also killed the father and son of the evil king Liang Xiao smiled in the face of Creon's suspicion."
My lord, the Huns are not as terrible as you think, they are not invincible.Back then, they were subservient to the Yueshi and the Donghu people, but it was only in the past few decades that they became stronger.Their glory is coming to an end, and my Han has endured their shamelessness and greed, and will soon send troops to punish them, and when the time comes, they will be like the current Yue clan, and they can only move west. ”Creon shuddered.The Yueshi people are already very terrible, if the Huns who defeated the Yueshi people move west, then Dawan can still exist Dawan is the closest kingdom to the Huns among the countries in the middle of the river, and Suye City is an important town in the east of Dawan, once the Huns move west, he is the first to be unlucky.Creon realizes that this is not a trivial matter.He didn't dare to leave Liang Xiao in Suye City, so he immediately completed the paperwork, sent another hundred people to escort them out, and at the same time sent people to send the news to Guishan City with a fast horse.Guo Yu arrived in Chang'an, and after placing the goods, he rushed to Maoling with a few entourages and found the Liang family.After listening to Guo Yu's narration, although Liang Yu already knew about Liang Xiao's westward journey, she still felt shocked.From Guo Yu's words, she realized that Liang Xiao had a temporary idea at all and did not plan in advance.After thanking Guo Yu, she asked a servant to take Guo Yu to Dongfang Shuo.Dongfang Shuo and Liang Xiao have a bad relationship, and there are also half of the identities of the doormen, so this kind of matter has always been handed over to Dongfang Shuo to deal with.After sending Guo Yu away, Liang Yuan invited Huan Yuan and expressed her worries.After hearing this, Huan Yuan was not as worried as Liang Yuan."
Don't worry, my lord, although it is a temporary idea, it is also a rare opportunity.With Ah Xiao's adaptability, the Huns were not so easy to catch him.What I'm worried about is how he will ask to see those Yi kings after he arrives in the Western Regions.As the saying goes, people are poor and dogs bite, can a few camel gifts supported by the Guo family enter the eyes of King Yi, can people believe that he is the envoy of the imperial court" Liang Yuan was also puzzled and sighed."
This has come to this, and the lord does not need to worry.Even if the mission is not successful, it is good to broaden your knowledge.Didn't he often say that it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and this time he got his wish. ”"He said that," he said. ”Huan Yuan laughed, showing a rare hint of appreciation."
His temper is somewhat similar to that of King Xiang back then."
Liang Yuan reminded intentionally or unintentionally: "Huanjun, this can't be compared.Although King Xiang has been dead for decades, the court is still very jealous. ”"Although King Xiang is dead, the legacy is still there."
Huan Yuan narrowed his eyes, as if smiling.yznn:
