Tie Huali had long known Liang Xiao's record of breaking the wolf, and he also knew that Liang Xiao's westward journey had reached Khotan.It stands to reason that he should have taken the initiative to send someone to understand the situation and personally go out of the city to greet him.But he never moved.Tie Huali is a member of the Yue clan, but he is a subordinate of Aliusu and does not have a good impression of Batu.He felt that Batu was too weak to support the Yue Clan.If he succeeded to the throne, sooner or later the Yue clan would become a vassal of the Han Chinese.He wanted to use the 3,000 paces in his hand to save a little strength for Aleusu.Aleusu died, but he still had two young sons in Shache.He wanted to negotiate with Liang Xiao so that Aliusu's son would inherit his strength.If you want to negotiate, you can't weaken your momentum.He didn't take the initiative to greet Liang Xiao, just to tell Liang Xiao that he and Liang Xiao were equal.With this status, negotiation is possible.But Liang Xiao didn't come for a long time, and he didn't even send a messenger, he sensed Liang Xiao's unhappiness, and his heart began to get nervous.If Liang Xiao is unwilling to negotiate and intends to use force, he has no chance of winning.The reason why there is such a worry is because Tie Huali is clear about Liang Xiao's belligerent nature.When Liang Xiao crossed the Green Ridge with 400 horsemen and appeared outside Shache City, he was very arrogant to compete with Tie Huali.Now that he is sitting in the Nanshan countries, with an army of nearly 10,000, if he is not happy, it is not a matter of words to destroy him Tiehuali.Realizing that his abacus might fail, Tie Huali still had no intention of giving up.He reorganized his arms and fought war, and put on a posture of vowing not to give up until he reached his goal, and he must probe Liang Xiao's bottom line.He believed that after the war, it was winter again, and Liang Xiao was unlikely to provoke a war immediately.But he didn't expect that Liang Xiao didn't send a messenger, but sent a caravan and a ballad.As soon as this ballad spread, the myth of the invincibility of the Han army immediately spread everywhere, and even the soldiers under his command became a little uneasy.He was willing to fight for Aleusu's son, but his men were not necessarily willing to take risks, especially against an invincible enemy.Aliusu died, died under the arrows of the wolf, and the wolf was killed by Liang Xiao, and it was clear who was the strongest.They obeyed Alyusu because Alyusu was very strong, and now Liang Xiao was stronger, why didn't they attach themselves to Liang Xiao and even the prince of the Yue clan, Batu, was attached to the Han people.Tie Huali realized his crisis and had to take the initiative to contact Huangfuqi.Huangfu shook his head."
This is a major military aircraft matter, how can I know.I don't know if the general will come, when, or how many people will come.I'm here to do business. ”Tie Huali narrowed his eyes, stared at Huang Fuqi, and was silent.Of course, he didn't believe that Huang Fuqi really didn't know Liang Xiao's whereabouts, but he heard the meaning of Huang Fuqi's words.Liang Xiao is preparing for a military operation, how many people, when, I can't say, but it is certainly not an ordinary trip.Is he going to attack Shache, Tie Huali changed the subject."
Is the story in that song true?"
Some exaggeration, but in general not far off. ”"It seems that General Liang's strength has become stronger again, which is really gratifying.""
It's nothing, it's just two thousand bandits.The 20,000 troops of the Heavenly Wolf were all killed by General Liang, and that is the real victory.By the way, Du Wei has fought with the Heavenly Wolf, so he should know his methods" Tie Huali's black and red face was a little hot.Of course, he fought with the Celestial Wolf, although the Celestial Wolf failed to occupy Shache City, he was also bullied by the Celestial Wolf a lot, almost only had the opportunity to escape, and had no power to fight back.In fact, not only him, but after Alyusu died in battle, the Yueshi people in the east of the green ridge suffered from wolf dinosaurs, and he did not surrender to Aleusu, and he still controlled Shache, which is already commendable.It's just that compared with Liang Xiao's record, he is embarrassed, and his words to question Liang Xiao's record sound a little more sour."
The heavenly wolf has a bow in his hand, and he is still not General Liang's opponent," Huang Fuqi smiled."
The earth bow is strong, but the sky wolf is not strong enough, he can't swing the true power of the earth bow at all, where is General Liang's opponent.In front of the two armies, he was chased like a rabbit by General Liang and was severely injured. ”Huang Fuqi glanced at Tie Huali, and there was something in his words."
The lieutenant should go out and walk around more, such news is not news for a long time.Listen to the story, of course, you have to come to the bazaar, do you want to wait for General Liang to tell you in person" Tie Hua was speechless, and he was even more frightened.After meditating for two days, Tie Huali rode out of Shache with three hundred guards and took the initiative to rush to Khotan to meet Liang Xiao.Two days later, he rushed outside the city of Khotan.Next to the Moyu River, a large group of people were working, digging a canal in the east-west direction across the Moyu River, but blocking the river to the north.The amount of work is not small, there are many people, and at a glance, at least more than a thousand people are busy, including women and children.The construction site was in full swing, with trumpets and singing ringing from time to time.Tie Huali was puzzled, reined in his war horse, and sent his guards to inquire.After a short time, the guards came back and told Tie Huali a piece of news: these people were transforming the Moyu River, in fact, not only the Moyu River, but several nearby rivers were being transformed.After the transformation is completed, from Jingjue to Khotan, a large oasis with a length of 400 miles from east to west will be formed, which can support nearly 100,000 people.More than a dozen large and small countries, such as Khotan, Humi, Qule, Ronglu, and Jingjue, will unite to form an alliance, which will be under the unified command of the Han people.Tie Huali was shocked.With a population of 100,000, it is definitely the largest country in Nanshan, even if the scope is expanded to the Tianshan area, only Wusun has such strength, and the population of Qiuzi, the second largest country in the Tianshan Mountains, is only 70,000 or 80,000.Even if 100,000 is an imaginary number, it may not come true, and the existing population of only Khotan and Humi countries is a force to be reckoned with, not to mention that there are Han people dispatching from it.Liang Xiao is making pre-war preparations, and he wants to annex Shache Tiehua in one fell swoop, and the more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes, and his heart is beating for a while.Liang Xiao sent Huangfu to lead a caravan to Shache to demonstrate, but he did not say anything about what he did in Khotan, which was clearly a hidden murderous motive.If he doesn't believe in those ballads and intends to resist to the end, then after the beginning of spring, what awaits him will be Liang Xiao's merciless head-on attack.If he still had a little luck before, seeing this scene, this bit of luck has been completely destroyed.Tie Hua thought about it for a long time, and entered the western city of Khotan and came to the palace where Liang Xiao settled.In front of the palace gate, Tie Hua got off his horse, walked in, and when he saw Liang Xiao's shadow, he clasped his hands into fists, took a few hurried steps, and gave a deep salute."
Yue's Shache Captain Tie Hua is leaving, he is late to greet the general, please forgive the general."
Liang Xiao got up to greet him, enthusiastic as a spring breeze."
Du Wei came from afar, why don't you send someone to say it, and I can send someone to meet you.""
Don't dare, don't dare."
Tie Hua was bitter from his mouth.He had to be inspected when he entered the city, how could Liang Xiao not know that he was coming, this was just lip service."
General, along the way, I heard the deeds of many Han warriors, and I was really emotional.The general killed the wolf and avenged the late prince, I should have taken the widow and young son of the late prince, but the road was far away and the weather was cold, so" "Haha, it's okay, it's okay. ”Liang Xiao laughed and interrupted Tie Huali's plea."
I am friendly with Prince Aliusu and admire each other, and he was unfortunately killed, and it is my duty to avenge him.As for his widow and young son, they are also equivalent to my sister-in-law and nephew, so why should they be so formal?
When I get to Shache, it's not too late to see them again. ”Tie Huali breathed a sigh of relief."
When will the general set off, the warriors of Shache and Shule are looking forward to seeing the general.""
Just these two days."
Liang Xiao paused for a moment."
There's something I want to discuss with you."
Liang Xiao spread out the map."
I plan to set up a town in Shule and send troops to garrison it to coordinate the defense of the Shache and Shule areas.You have been in Shache for many years, and you are very familiar with the customs here, I don't know if there are any good suggestions" Tie Huali's eyes twitched."
The general is ready to set up a town in Shule" "Yes. ”Liang Xiao said: "Nanshan countries, I plan to establish four towns: Shule, Khotan, Loulan, and Longle. ”"How many men and horses is the general going to keep in Shule?"
"It can't be too much, too much and the burden is too heavy, which will affect the lives of the local people."
I chose to set up a town in Shule because Shule is westward and can directly communicate with Dawan.Actually, Shache is also a good location, but Shache guards the mountain pass leading to Jian Clan, and I think it is better to stay in the hands of your Yue people, so as not to worry the queen unnecessarily. ”Tie Huali's heart was pounding.Liang Xiao wants to set up a town in Shule, across the traffic between the green ridge and Dawan, and guard the main road.Khotan was also garrisoned by Han Chinese, and Shache was attacked on its back.If you count the queen's arrangement to defend west of the Green Ridge, he has already been attacked on three sides, and it is difficult to fly.However, he couldn't stop Liang Xiao, if he didn't fight against Liang Xiao with all his might, he would only have a dead end, and in the end he couldn't even save Shache."
The general is far-sighted and invincible.If you can set up a town in Shule and send troops to garrison it, it will also be a blessing for the Quartet.It is also a blessing for the prince's descendants to be protected by the general.I think the prince will bless the general in heaven. ”Liang Xiao smiled with satisfaction."
I'm very happy to have the support of the lieutenant."
Dongfang Shuo and Liang Xiao bid farewell outside the Western Regions, Dongfang Shuo will cross the desert again, rush to Wensu and Gumo, and carry out his strategy of combining vertical and horizontal to encircle Wusun, while Liang Xiao will follow Tiehuali to Shache and Shule.He will stay in Shule for several months, wait until the beginning of spring next year, and pass through the Yandun Valley and the Birdfly Valley to Dawan.Their goal was the same, to use all diplomatic force and force to force Wusun into submission.Wusun is the largest country east of the Green Mountains, and if Wusun refuses to bow his head, the Han people's rule in the Western Regions will not be firm.As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as Hunt Arrogant shows any unwelcome attitude towards the Han people, Liang Xiao will suffer major difficulties, and it is impossible for the countries of the Western Regions to survive without scrupling about Hunting Arrogant.Fortunately, Hunting Jiaomi was bluffed by Liang Xiao's achievements, and the cat refused to come out in the mountains.While waiting for Liang Xiao to take the initiative to attack, he also left valuable time for Liang Xiao to deploy calmly.Hunting Jiaomi is rejoicing in the arrival of winter, and Liang Xiao is also taking advantage of the unfavorable objective conditions of winter for conquest.Three days later, Liang Xiao arrived at Shache, and all the nobles, including the king of Shache, went out of the city to greet him, including Aliusu's wife and two young sons.Huangfu Qi also came, he successfully completed the task, naturally he had to report to Liang Xiao about his work, and then he had to rush back to Khotan.After reporting the matter, Huang Fuqi did not retreat, but asked as if he was a family: "General, do you know the customs of the Yueshi people?"
”"Then the general knows, when Aliusu's wife comes to see you later, will there be any kind of request" Liang Xiao was slightly stunned, and then realized what Huang Fuqi meant.He laughed: "This is not suitable, I have a wife and concubine." ”"The general has a wife and concubine, so he naturally looks down on such a barbarian woman.But this is the custom of the Yue clan.You have avenged Aleusu, and all of Aleusu's property should be yours, including his wife and children, and slaves.If you don't accept it, it's against their customs and will make them uneasy.In fact, they also need to rely on a strong man like the general in order to continue to survive.Shache and Shule are both areas controlled by Tie Huali, if the general does not accept it, Tie Huali will take advantage of the situation, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the general. ”Liang Xiao thought for a moment."
Thank you for the reminder.But I'm not going to follow their customs.On the contrary, I intend to deal with this matter in the same way as Han Chinese customs.Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”"Since the general knows it, then I can rest assured."
The emperor bowed and retreated.Almost at the same time, Tiehua fell in front of Alusu's widow, Mosuyeye.Mosuyeye was in his early twenties, with a slightly dark complexion and a cinnabar mark on his eyebrows.Four years ago, she married Aliusu, and the following year gave birth to a son, Morodon, and soon after was pregnant with a second child, Little Aleusu, who was afraid that she would be too tired with the army, so he specially left her in Shache, but he didn't expect this to be a farewell.Mo Suyeye hugged the widow little Alyusu, and the three-year-old Mo Ruodun snuggled up to her, staring at Tie Huali with a pair of big black eyes."
Madam, if you have Liang Xiao's support, let alone guarding Shache and Shule, even if you are the king of the Zhengyue clan, you will have a chance.Please ask Mrs. to come out of the overall situation, endure the humiliation, and remarry Liang Xiao according to the customs of my Yue's family. ”Mosuyeye lowered his eyelids."
Do you have to do this, Aliusu is not an ordinary person, he is the prince of the Yue clan, if I follow the customs of the Yue clan and remarry him, won't even the entire Yue clan country belong to him" Tie Huali smiled bitterly: "If Madam doesn't obey, then the entire Yue clan country will become Batu's."
Batu is weak and incompetent, and he has long been attached to Liang Xiao.If he becomes the king of the Yue clan, the Yue clan will still belong to Liang Xiao, but it has nothing to do with the little Aliusu brothers, nor does it have anything to do with his wife.Madam, the east of the Green Ridge was conquered by the prince with us one tribe after another, could it be just handed over to Batu" Mosuyeye was silent.Tie Hua left and sighed secretly."
Madam, I know that you have a deep affection for the prince and look down on others.However, I dare to assure my wife that Liang Xiao is young and promising, brave and brave in the world, and is a hero like the crown prince
