Chapter 286: Danger and Opportunity


"If you suddenly return to Guishan City, sooner or later you will attract the attention of others, so it's better to be calm than to hide it."

When it comes to fighting, Wu Cai doesn't have any good ideas, but when it comes to dealing with people, Wu Cai is much more experienced than Liang Xiao.Seeing that Liang Xiao was in a bad mood, he persuaded Liang Xiao in turn.Liang Xiao felt reasonable, so he had to force a smile and sit down with Yu Cai.The nobles of Dawan were a little strange when they saw Liang Xiao here.Ten days ago, he had just left Guishan City to go west, why did he suddenly come back again, they didn't ask much, and were soon attracted by the wonderful singing and dancing and sumptuous delicacies.Liang Xiao took a glass of wine, leaned over to Wu Cai, and took the opportunity of toasting to ask in a low voice: "Did the vice king tell King Dawan?""

How can this be said," he thought for a moment, and then explained, "the situation has not yet been determined, how can it alarm the king."

It's not too late to report back when you find out.Liang Jun, when the time comes, let's enter the palace together, how" As he spoke, Wei Cai squeezed his eyes, then showed a bright smile, raised his glass and said hello to the people who came to toast, and drank it all.Although he knew that it was inappropriate, Liang Xiao didn't curse secretly.It's too much, I'm a messenger of the Han Dynasty, and I'm not your subordinate, how can you do this.You are drunk and dreaming of death, I will work hard for you Liang Xiao is a little big.The originally sweet wine is also a little more bitter in the mouth.He didn't know how he got back to the inn, but he drank a little too much.When he woke up in the middle of the night, his mouth was dry and he had a splitting headache.Alpha heard the voice, walked in, poured a glass of water and handed it to Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao took it, took a sip, glanced at the neatly dressed alpha, and was stunned for a moment."

You haven't slept yet" "There's still some stuff left unpacked." ”Alpha raised his hand and yawned.Then he smiled embarrassedly."

What's so urgent, can't you pack it up tomorrow?"

I'm worried that the owner will get up tomorrow and use it, so I'll tidy it up first. ”"Picture" Liang Xiao's heart moved.The books prepared for him by Yu Cai should be related to the Huns.This is a long time ago, and even the materials are ready.This bastard Liang Xiao cursed.While asking Alpha to bring the things, he lit two more lamps and looked at them carefully.It is a map of Dawan, including all the cities of Dawan, and the population and soldiers of each city are compiled into an atlas.There was no paper at this time.They were also not accustomed to using bamboo slips and wooden tablets, and the maps and texts were written on sheepskin, and stacks of them were piled up everywhere, filling the room with the smell of sheepskin.Liang Xiao saw the full picture of Dawan for the first time.The map was a national secret, and even if he had a close relationship with the Huns, he would not have had a chance to see it if it weren't for the imminent invasion of the Huns.Liang Xiao suddenly felt that the invasion of the Huns might not necessarily be a bad thing.On the map, the kingdom of Dawan is located in a basin land, with the Alai Mountains on the south side.To the north is the Tien Shan mountain range, and the upper reaches of the Gasats River flow through the basin, nourishing the land on both sides.Guishan Castle is located at the western exit of the basin, and most of the castles are east of Guishan Castle, except for those lands obtained from Wusun.Liang Xiao's heart suddenly moved, and the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.This terrain is too good for defense.As long as the city of Guishan was held, it was basically impossible for the Huns to enter the basin from the west.Although there is a road to cross the Green Ridge on the east side, for the Huns, who are mainly cavalry, they will pay a lot of price to cross the Green Ridge.Liang Xiao remembered Li Guangli's two expeditions to Dawan.Li Guangli is really mediocre.After marching thousands of miles and crossing such a natural danger as the Green Ridge, it is no wonder that his losses are so great.Thanks to his opponent Dawan, he was replaced by other slightly stronger countries such as the Yue Clan.Don't say twice, even if he does it twice, he may not have a chance to win.It is no wonder that later the Tang Dynasty operated the Western Regions from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.Whether it is the Broken Leaf City where Li Bai was born is still called Suye City, or the Talas of the Battle of Talas that decided the end of the Tang Dynasty's control of the Western Regions, they are all north of the Tianshan Mountains.In this way, even if you can't hold the mountain pass.As long as Guishan City can be defended, Dawan will not lose the country.However, in this way, the cities west of Guishan City, including the Alexandria, may not be able to escape the butcher's knife of the Huns.Can you refuse the Huns from outside the borders and prevent them from entering the territory of Dawan Liang Xiao's eyes wandered on the map and pondered.After looking at it for a moment, his gaze fell on a valley at the edge of the map."

What kind of place is there" Alpha leaned over to look at it, blinked, and said uncertainly, "It should be a river valley."

I heard that the people of the Yue clan came from that valley. ”Liang Xiao remembered Li Shuyun and the caravan he escorted, they crossed the Green Ridge from the territory of the Yue Clan, and this was the road they should take.According to the time estimate, they should have entered the territory of Wusun by now, and it is still unknown whether they can pass smoothly.It would be a pity if such a large fortune was robbed by the Wusun or the Huns.Nie Yi and the others will be greatly injured by this.It doesn't feel good at all to have a strong enemy on the side.When the Huns were crippled and the steppe trade routes were controlled, there was real security at all.Liang Xiao flipped through the map, thinking about various possibilities in his mind.However, the difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious, and there seems to be no other way to think of it except to stick to Guishan City.No, there must be a way.Liang Xiao muttered to himself, cheering himself up.Alpha was on the sidelines, a little sleepy.Although she is very diligent, she can't help Liang Xiao in these matters.Not only her, but the other people around Liang Xiao are similar, with more courage and less strategy.Liang Xiao longed for Liu Ling and Dongfang Shuo even more, as long as one of the two of them was there, he would not be so helpless, at least one person could discuss.Li Guang's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he was inexplicably shocked."

Liang Xiao set off such a big movement, attracting the Huns to march west," Li Danghu nodded."

For now, I don't dare to say for sure.However, Liang Xiao was able to reach Dawan safely and shot the Wusun envoy, and the Wusun people would not dare to give up.In addition, the Huns shot and killed the evil king before, and the Huns may also go west to attack Dawan.In the heavy snow last year, the Huns and Wusun people may have suffered and failed to capture Dawan.It is entirely possible to transfer troops to fight again today. ”Li Jiao interjected."

In that case, why is the Son of Heaven indifferent" Li Danghu glared at him."

What can the Son of Heaven do?

Our army is beyond the reach of the whip. ”"There is no need to go to the Western Regions, go deep into the grassland, take advantage of the situation, at least you can contain some of the Huns" "Your Majesty does have this plan. ”Li Guang raised his head.Motioned to Li Jiao to stop talking.He had already understood the plight of the Son of Heaven."

If you want to go deep into the grasslands, you must garrison troops and food at the border.Not only is there not enough time, but it will also cause a commotion in the world.In the past two years, natural disasters have been frequent, the government and the opposition are turbulent, and the Son of Heaven is also quite troubled.Troops in a big way," Li Guang shook his head.A long sigh: "It's impossible." ”"Then just watch Liang Xiao's success fall into failure," Li Jiao cried out unconvinced.Li Guang snorted: "Then what do you say" "I" Li Jiao rolled his eyes, thought about it, and suddenly smiled."

Ah Weng, you seem to have said that the Son of Heaven asked if you could go deeper" Li Guang nodded."

As I said, even if it's a desperate bet, the farthest is only two thousand miles.""

Two thousand miles, you should have arrived at the court of the Huns," Li Jiao laughed."

Liang Xiao can travel thousands of miles with only a few people.Ah Weng Tong thousands of elites, don't you dare to go to the grassland for a walk Didn't you always want to have such an opportunity, and now the opportunity has come.Why are you cowardly" Li Guang raised his leg and kicked Li Jiao, his eyes glared: "Vertical, Lao Tzu, I will be cowardly, this is an edict, do you know" "Will be outside, the military order will not be accepted." ”Li Jiao disagreed."

If Liang Xiao wants to wait for the edict, where can he go to Dawan" Li Guang rolled his eyes, and his heart was pounding.If the Huns really went west, this would indeed be an opportunity to go deep into the steppe.Moreover, the meaning of the words of the Son of Heaven clearly also hoped that he would go deep into the steppe and harass the rear of the Huns.It's just that the feasibility is too low.In the end, I had to give up."

Two thousand miles, the loss is not small."

Li Guang hesitated."

This is a lonely army, and there is little luck.""

Wealth is in danger.Looking forward and backward like this, when will you be able to make miraculous achievements" Li Jiao smiled: "Ah Weng."

If you have the heart to attack, I can tell you one more thing that might help you. ”"What's the matter" "Saddle and stirrups." ”Li Jiao put away his smile, reached out and dipped some water in the ear cup, and drew a schematic diagram."

When I was fighting with Liang Xiao in Huiji, Liang Xiao specially built a horse harness.It's simple, though.But it helps.If all cavalry could be equipped with these harnesses, the cavalry would be more powerful and could penetrate deeper. ”Li Jiao suddenly stopped, muttered for a moment, and his eyes slowly lit up."

That's right, Ah Weng, we can use Liang Xiao's method in Huiji, abandon the foot soldiers, use all cavalry, and go deep into the grassland.Alternatively, the foot soldiers also ride on horseback, and then dismount and fight on foot when the battle comes.At the time of the meeting, we used this method to make the thieves unsafe and full of loopholes. ”"That's a way to go."

Li Guang nodded again and again, unable to contain his excitement.He glanced at Li Jiao."

Boy, you come with me to Shangjun.""

Of course."

The more Li Jiao thought about it, the happier he became, and his eyebrows fluttered."

I'm going too."

Li Dare shouted.Li Danghu looked at his father and brother and was a little worried."

The Son of Heaven said that before the big army, stirrups should not be spread outside" and "Li Jiao disdained.Li Guang ignored him, pulled Li Jiao and said: "Tell me quickly, in addition to this stirrup and saddle, what else is there to prepare" "If you want to minimize casualties, it is best to have iron armor."

Thousands of miles of running, must be elite soldiers, when the priority is given to the selection of cavalry archers, if everyone can be like Weiyang Lang, far and near, in addition to bows and arrows, equipped with halberds, swords, it would be the best" "Wait, everyone wears iron armor, but also halberds, swords" Li Guang's eyebrows that had just been raised immediately fell, and he impatiently interrupted Li Jiao, whose eyebrows were dancing."

How much does that cost" Li Jiao was stunned for a long time before muttering: "This costs a lot of money." ”To be continued mobile version yznn:
