He had been to Pu Country and knew the terrain along the way, and the Seven Corners Mountain was the most suitable place to block the attack.There are nearly 100 miles of mountain roads to the east from Qijiao Mountain, and the terrain is not as favorable as Qijiao Mountain.Linghu disapproves.Raiding Jiaohe City at night and sacking the Cheshi Palace, they almost didn't sleep all night, and what they most wanted to do now was to rush to Pu Shihai, sleep well for a few days, and recover their strength.Stopping halfway through, and still fighting, it was somewhat difficult.Liang Xiao insisted that he had seen it.He explained that Jiaohe City was too close to Daban, and the driver could reach it in one day.If you consider that Mo Ya arrived in Jiaohe City three days ahead of schedule and had already sent the news to Daban, then the Cheshi King was probably already on his way back to help.If he gets the opportunity to be attacked in Jiaohe City, he will definitely chase after him, and it is likely that there will be Huns.The distance between the two sides is likely to be only one day, or even half a day.If they only care about escaping, once the King of Cheshi catches up, their forces will not be superior, and they will probably suffer a big loss.He left behind to use the terrain to block the attack, which could block the pursuers and allow the others to calmly hurry.These looted treasures from the Cheshi Palace's palace were their biggest gain this time, and they were exchanged for each mercenary's life, how could they be so easy to return to the Cheshi Linghu and the others to feel justified.Liang Xiao left more than 50 mercenaries with still combat strength, such as Bison, and asked Linghu to lead those mercenaries who were seriously injured or had been overdrawn and could no longer fight, escort their belongings, and rushed to Pu Shihai to meet Li Shuyun and Pu Jia, and prepare to respond.Liang Xiao selected the terrain and ordered people to guard it.He dismounted, went to the chosen high ground, swept away the snow from a boulder, covered the bearskin he had stolen from the royal family of the charioteer, sat down, untied his bow and arrows, took out the short knife, and slowly trimmed the armor-piercing arrows.Armor-piercing arrows are his special arrows, and the lame old cloth has made a total of fifty for him.He used it sparingly.Whenever possible, when the war is over, he will take it back as much as he can.Still, he's only half of it now.And a lot of damage, need to be repaired, or replace the shaft and feathers."
Master, I'll come.""
I'll do it myself."
Liang Xiao shook his head and pushed Xia away."
You give me a hot pot of goat's milk.I'll finish repairing the arrows, drink some goat's milk, and get some sleep. ”Xia glanced at Liang Xiao and didn't insist anymore.Liang Xiao's bow and arrow maintenance and trimming had always been in charge of Sigma before, and she was indeed not familiar with it.However, she knows better that among the four sisters, the eldest sister Alpha is the most trusted by Liang Xiao for her steadiness and is regarded as a housekeeper by Liang Xiao.The fourth sister, Sigma, is the most loved by Liang Xiao for her cuteness and cleverness.Sigma's sacrifice hit Liang Xiao hard, and no one could replace her in the short term.With the help of the mercenaries, Thea set up a tent, lit a bonfire, and boiled goat's milk.Liang Xiao finished packing up the arrows, gathered the mercenary guards and the mercenary leaders Bison and Fenglisha together, pointed to the terrain, and assigned tasks."
There are still more than 200 miles to go from here to Pu Shihai, and they have to walk for two to three days, and we have to hold out for at least two days.If possible, hold on until reinforcements come and block the Huns south of the Tien Shan Mountains, leaving them with no way out. ”The bison stroked his messy beard."
Your Excellency.We only have fifty-seven people, can we hold out until that time, if the Huns come together, it will be at least tens of thousands.Even if there are only car drivers, there are thousands. ”"If there were only drivers, it would be easy to do.However, it is a high probability that the Huns will chase after them.We must be ready to fight the Huns.If the Huns were in a hurry, they would be able to reach only a limited number of people in time, at most two or three thousand people.If they're more conservative, it won't come too quickly. ”"Even if they only have two or three thousand people, they are dozens of times us.""
So, we have to make good use of the terrain, resist step by step, consume their sharpness, drag them to the pit we dug, and then" Liang Xiao looked around, stretched out his hand, opened his five fingers, and slowly tightened again."
Captured in one fell swoop."
Bison and Kazasa looked at each other and laughed."
My lord, we listen to you."
Liang Xiao pointed to the nearby mountains and explained the terrain.Seven Horn Mountain, of course, has seven passes, shaped like antlers, and there is only a hole a few steps wide in the middle.Liang Xiao divided the fifty-seven mercenaries into three teams, with Bison and Fenglisha each in charge of one team, one team in front and one team in the back, each occupying a hole and taking turns to block and cover each other.He himself led Tu Niu'er, Pang Shuo, and the mercenary guards, a total of fifteen people, as a mobile force, ready to reinforce and provide sniper support.These tactics are all routines they are used to, and as soon as Liang Xiao said it, they all understood, and nodded in agreement."
Now, the bison are in the first line, and the wind is in the second.The bison first seized the time to rest, and the wind sent people to be on guard, and rotated after two hours. ”"Whoa."
Bison and Wind Sand answered, and turned to make arrangements.Liang Xiao arranged everything, drinking hot goat's milk while looking at the map he had collected from the Cheshi Palace.To be honest, compared with the maps used by the Han people, the gap between these maps and the maps used by the Han people is not even half a point, and even the maps drawn by Wu Guinian are not as good.However, at this moment, looking at the map is just a way to rest, and he wants to use this way to calm his mind and prepare for the next battle.He felt two angry looks.He turned his head and glanced at the dilapidated tent not far away.The charioteer Wang Yan, the crown prince and Mo Ya were imprisoned there.Seeing Liang Xiao turn his head, the driver Wang Yan hurriedly pulled his son into the tent.Liang Xiao left them here, obviously not with any good intentions.Liang Xiao has already ransacked the Cheshi Palace, kidnapped all the Cheshi royal family, and it is not easy to kill a few people.The boy lowered his head uneasily, and his original anger turned into fear.Liang Xiao smiled.The prince of this chariot master is estimated to be about the same age as him, but he has fine skin and tender meat, and he has not suffered much at first glance.He beckoned and motioned for the prince to come closer.The prince was stunned and hid behind the Yan clan, trembling.A mercenary walked over, kicked him away, reached out and grabbed the prince by the sleeve, and dragged him over.The Yan clan was shocked, pounced, grabbed the hand of the prince of the coach, and begged bitterly.The mercenary was annoyed, and with a big-eared scraper, he turned his head over.When Mo Ya saw it, she hurriedly picked up the Yan clan and said loudly: "What do you want to do" The mercenary snorted disdainfully, dragged the prince of the Cheshi to Liang Xiao, and threw it to the ground."
What's your name" Liang Xiao took a sip of hot goat's milk and said casually.The prince was cold and hungry, smelled the rich milky fragrance, and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.Liang Xiao heard the sound of him swallowing saliva, couldn't help but smile, and motioned for Xia to fill him with a bowl.Xia found a golden bowl and was just about to pour the milk, when the prince shook his head again and again and stretched out his hands.Xia was puzzled, and the prince said, "Can you let me wash the dishes first" Xia was furious and threw the bowl on the ground.The prince picked it up, ran to the side, found some clean snow, wiped it again, wiped it spotlessly, and then walked back again, holding the bowl in both hands, and looked at Liang Xiao beggingly.Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little disdainful.It's all like this, and you're still a ghost.He lifted the pot and poured some goat's milk for the prince.The prince thanked him again and again, took the goat's milk, took small steps, walked back to the big tent where they lived, and shouted happily."
Grandma, grandma."
Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and motioned for Xia to carry the milk pot over.Xia Ya wrinkled her nose and was a little reluctant, but she still lifted the milk jug, filled the golden bowl in Liang Xiao's hand, and then walked over."
Oh, this is my master's reward for you.""
Thank you, thank you, thank you."
The prince took the pot and fell down in the snow, and the hem of his clothes, which had been stained with a lot of slush, was even more messy.Liang Xiao was very surprised.This kid is a bit interesting, although he is cowardly, he is a filial son.After a while, the prince came over with the empty milk pot, wiped the milk pot and the golden bowl clean with snow, and returned it to Liang Xiao with both hands.Liang Xiao nodded and motioned for him to sit down."
What's your name?"
”The prince clasped his hands together and said something.Liang Xiao didn't understand, looking at his gestures, it was a bit like Buddhism, but he was not reciting the "Amitabha Buddha" he was familiar with.Liang Xiao thought of the temple in the north of Jiaohe City, and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you believe in Buddhism?"
Liang Xiao nodded."
Futu" is the same as "Buddha", both are transliteration, and there may not be the title of "Buddha" at this time, so Che Yi will correct it."
Yes, I believe in Futu."
Che Yi said: "My mother has been married for many years and has never been able to have children, and then she believed in Futu and had me.That's why I'm a Buddha student, and I've believed in the Futu Avenue since I was a child, hoping that one day I can achieve positive results. ”"You are the crown prince, you will be the king of the chariot in the future, and you can still practice" "The Buddha is also a prince. ”Liang Xiao was speechless.Che Yi was right, Shakyamuni was also a prince, and he also married and had children before he practiced.It seems that this Cheshi prince is really obsessed with Buddhism, and he remembers the story very well."
Since you believe in Futu, then according to your point of view, what kind of person am I, a bodhisattva or a demon?"
Adults are demons when they kill people, and bodhisattvas when they give food. ”Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing, and he picked up the golden bowl in his hand."
Don't forget, these bowls, pots, and even the goat's milk in them were all stolen from your charioteer's palace.This is also a bodhisattva" "Whether it is a golden bowl or a golden pot, they are all things outside the body, which are immortal and imperishable.It used to be the palace of the Cheshi, but now it belongs to the adult, and I don't know whose it is in the future, so what is the difference?
”Liang Xiao laughed, waved his hand, and motioned for Che Yi to retreat.He had never had a good opinion of Buddhism, and he was even less interested in these self-consoling sophistry.If he can really become a Buddha, he will also choose the cheapest one to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot:
