Mei Gao and Liang Xiao are the same age. They are from Huainan and are grown in Liang Kingdom, so they have a distinct Liang Guokang accent.∈◆,

In a sense, he is similar to Liang Xiao, both raised by his mother. The difference is that he lived with his father Mei Cheng for a while when he was a child and completed basic education. Mei Gao was good at writing fu, which was innate inheritance on the one hand, and acquired influence on the other hand, which was inseparable from Mei Cheng's enlightenment.

They are all young. I heard that the deputy envoy was Liang Xiao, a famous archer in the capital. Before Liang Xiao came to visit, Mei Gao took the initiative to visit Weiyanglang's office. As soon as he entered the door, he happened to see Li Guang and ordinary Weiyanglangs competing for archery. He immediately became interested and rushed over to see General Li shoot archery.

When the admirer came, Li Guang was a little excited, but in the end... he even shot three arrows and left the target.

The originally lively scene was a little awkward, and Li Guang's face was not very good either. When Liang Xiao, who had not spoken much, saw him, he laughed secretly, separated everyone, walked forward, raised his hand, and looked gloating.

"Brothers, it's rare that the general is in poor condition today. If he doesn't win two money, isn't it a waste?"

The men and women were together day and night, so how could they not know what Liang Xiao meant? They said angrily: "That's true, it's a gamble."

"A Xiao, you bet on behalf of us. If you win, you drink together, and if you lose, you share the burden."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows at Li Guang and fiddled with bowstrings, as if playing a solo. "General, do you dare to fight?"

Li Guang snorted, without even looking at Liang Xiao, and waved his hand: "Turn the Archer to a hundred steps and use one gold as a bet."

Everyone applauded in unison. Whether it was Li Guang or Liang Xiao, a hundred steps were a bit difficult distance, and no one was absolutely sure. Only at this distance can the winners and the outcome be accidental and the competition can be viewed.

Of course, only in this way can Li Guang be stimulated and his best condition can be stimulated.

Sure enough, with the bet and difficulty, Li Guang quickly got into the state, shooting a good result of 12 arrows, and hit a swan with one arrow. Compared with that, Liang Xiao was much inferior, with only seven arrows left in the twelve arrows, and failed to hit a swan with the best shot.

Li Guang won the victory with an overwhelming advantage, happy as a child. He was proud and flirted with joy. However, he did not get the money, and even paid out of his own pocket and generously gave Liang Xiao two cents of money. "Take it and buy it."

Liang Xiao and Li Guang had known this for a long time, so they didn't hesitate to withdraw money and arranged for someone to eat wine and cut the flesh, which led Mei Gao to the side. "Sir..."

"Hey. What adult, you and I are the same age, so you don't have to be so polite. Call me Shaoru. Have you taken the words?"

Liang Xiao shook his head. So far, he has only had hair tied and has not yet officially grown up, so he is considered a child laborer.

"Then I'm the same as the men's men..." Mei Gao pointed to the men's men's men who were in trouble outside and said with a smile: "Call you call me A Xiao."

Liang Xiao did not refuse, and after a few gossips, he went straight to the point. "Do you know what the purpose of this mission is?"

Mei Gao stood in front of the window. Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, he was silent for a moment before turning his head. "Although I don't know what the emperor is thinking, I'm afraid I'll have the intention to use martial arts as the deputy envoy. A Xiao, your and my tasks are very heavy this time. If you are like Gongsun Hong..."

Mei Gao didn't say anything, but there was a strong uneasiness in his eyes. Gongsun Hong was dismissed from office because he was not in line with his mission to the Huns and went home to shepherd the pigs. Mei Gao's situation was more troublesome than Gongsun Hong. He fled to Chang'an for crimes. He could not return to Liang State easily. If he could not seize this opportunity, he would not even have the opportunity to shepherd the pigs. Once he was dismissed from office, he would be in trouble.

"Why do you have to worry Shaoru? You and I will be able to complete the task successfully."

"I hope so. Judging from your confidence, I guess you have a plan?"

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "There are some solutions, but it requires Shaoru's brilliant writing."

"A wonderful pen to grow flowers?" Mei Gao savored it for a moment and smiled, "You said."

Liang Xiao told his plan again. Without the emperor's special order, he knew that this mission must be to touch the bottom of the Huns and make preliminary preparations for the upcoming counterattack. If you want to march in the north of Mobei, you must not only know the Huns' troops and the geography on the grassland, but also know more details.

It can be said that the more detailed they understand, the greater the possibility of success in the future.

The Han people did not know anything about the Huns, but most of them knew it through hearsay. Only those who had personally visited the grasslands had first-hand information. In the past, many people went on missions to the Huns, but most of them had preconceived bad tendencies in their thoughts, like Gongsun Hong. If they opposed the war and supported marriage from the beginning, then what they saw would definitely be evidence of supporting their opinions and could not see other possibilities.

The first thing Liang Xiao said to Mei Gao was to be correct and look at previous information from a critical perspective. At the same time, he should not belittle the strength of the Huns in order to start a war. He should do as realistic and rational analysis as possible.

The second thing is to choose some that can write and draw, and it is best to follow the pictures, and to draw maps when necessary. Thousands of words are worse than one picture. Only by drawing them into a map can you see it at a glance.

Liang Xiao finally asked one thing: "Shaoru, how are you martial arts and how are you riding?"

Mei Gao smiled proudly. "When archery, I am not as good as you. When it comes to riding, I am not much worse than you."

Liang Xiao also laughed. Just like his good archery skills, his riding skills are also famous for his poor riding skills. Even if he is diligent and hard, if there is no Takahashi saddle or stirrup, his riding skills are still different from those young men from aristocratic families who can learn to ride horses while walking. As for Takahashi saddle and stirrup, they have been controlled by "Pingyang Hou" and are not allowed to be used unless it is special.

Liang Xiao knew the emperor's meaning and knew that he was far-sighted and did not want to be discovered by the Huns, so he took the lead. Fortunately, it has not been spread yet, and as long as he sealed the mouths of more than a dozen people, he could control the matter. Therefore, he did not make any arguments about his riding skills, and he would just make mistakes and cover up the matter.

"That's good. Shaoru's best be prepared with a pair of close-fitting fine armor to avoid accidents."

Mei Gao understood. The two discussed some details and then broke up in a hurry.

Liang Xiao came to Daxing Temple again to ask for a visit. Daxing ordered Wang Hui to meet him immediately. Liang Xiao did not say that he was going to the Huns, but Wang Hui knew about it. This matter was originally arranged by him. He took out a bamboo talisman.

"You can hold this bamboo talisman. When you arrive in the border market, someone will hold another half of the talisman to connect with you."

The bamboo talisman is less than one foot long and only three minutes wide, with a few patterns on it. The dark brown Daxing Ling official seal was burning. Liang Xiao put away the talisman and thought that the person who would meet me in the border market would not be the Yanmen man Nie Yi? If it was him, then the preparation time for Mayi's plan was long enough, and Nie Yi and the Daxing Ling in front of him had enough effort. Unfortunately, their final results were not very good.

When the gun shot out the first bird, Wang Hui was unable to die well, which became a cowardly reason. Who knows the ambition he once had?

Liang Xiao suddenly had an impulse. He wanted to help Wang Hui succeed with his own strength and make him the hero who advocated the counterattack against the Huns, rather than the negative examples of the scholars' mouths. Moreover, he felt that he had this ability.

"Don't worry, sir, roar will definitely live up to what you expect."

Wang Hui looked at Liang Xiao for a moment and suddenly laughed. "It is worthy of being the best man in Jiangdu, even the King of Jiangdu should praise Wu Chu, who is very brave. However, this task is not only my hope, but also His Majesty's hope."

Liang Xiao understood it, but couldn't help laughing. Wang Hui's cunning was still not deep enough. It was not appropriate for him to do such a secret matter. The emperor probably couldn't find a supporter, so he chose such a person.

...

In mid-May, Liang Xiao and Mei Gao and their party arrived at Yanmen.

The Hetao area in Henan is still in the hands of the Huns. The names of counties like Wuyuan and Shuofang have not appeared yet. The north of the Great Wall is the sphere of influence of the Huns, and even the south of the Great Wall is often harassed by the Huns. Yanmen County is actually the northern border of the Han Dynasty. If you go further, you have to wait for the Huns to pick them up, otherwise you will be able to cross the border and be good at it. Maybe you will be attacked.

Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has been in a weak position in its relationship with the Huns, and the initiative is in the hands of the Huns. In addition, the level of the envoy this time is not high. The envoy Mei Gao was only a doctor of 600 stones, and the deputy envoy Liang Xiao was only a foreigner of 200 stones. It is estimated that the Huns did not take it seriously. Liang Xiao and the others have all arrived in Yanmen, and the shadow of the Huns has not yet seen it.

Liang Xiao and others were helpless and could only wait. The so-called weak country had no diplomacy. This was the most obvious example. However, this was also a good thing. The Huns were arrogant and had not realized the approaching crisis. If the war began in the future, the Han army could surprise them.

This is probably the psychological basis for Wang Hui's choice to set up an ambush in Mayi.

The time to wait for someone was the most difficult, but Liang Xiao did not have the idea of ​​waiting. He discussed with Mei Gao and decided to use this time to do some homework. Mayi is already the front line of fighting against the Huns. Many things to be done in the territory of the Huns can be previewed in Mayi first.

One of the most important things is drawing.

Liang Xiao found Ma Rong, who was specifically responsible for this matter.

The mapping techniques of the Han Dynasty were already very advanced, and the accuracy of the maps drawn was no worse than those of later generations. Two thousand later, the unearth of the "Garage Map" from the Han Tomb of Mawangdui shocked the academic community. However, map drawing was not serious knowledge, especially after respecting Confucianism, which was regarded as the skill of craftsmen and was not valued. Many techniques were lost, not only did not make progress, but were regressing, so that Pei Xiu, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, would sneer at the time after looking at the map at that time.

Ma Rong, whose courtesy name is Zijin, is said to be a descendant of Ma Fujun. He moved to Guanzhong only after the Han Dynasty. Because of this identity and not a founding hero, the Ma family's children's journey to the government was not smooth, so this time, Ma Rong reluctantly signed up for the recruitment of envoys, hoping to take this opportunity to enter the government. In essence, he was not very enthusiastic about drawing.

"Ma Zijin, draw well. If your task is completed well this time, you will be guaranteed at least 200 stones."

"Take it serious?" Ma Rong was skeptical.

"Take it seriously." Mei Gao endorsed Liang Xiao as the official envoy. "You also know that the emperor has given it because of his own use. Extraordinary people must be in an extraordinary position. If you can draw a good map, not to mention two hundred stones, even six hundred stones are possible."

Ma Rong was overjoyed, patted his chest, and swore to do his best.

Thousands of words are not as good as the price. One 200 stone aroused Ma Rong's fighting spirit. Three young men from the Han family, seventeen or eighteen years old, looked at each other and laughed with great enthusiasm.
