Liang Xiao woke up in a daze, feeling dry mouth and said, "Water, I want to drink water.∑.∑"

There was a sound in his ear, but he couldn't understand a word. Liang Xiao forced himself to open his eyes, and there was a white patch in front of him, as if he was a person. He rubbed his eyes and looked closely, and couldn't help but be startled, and kicked the man down.

"Oh," a scream. This time Liang Xiao understood and couldn't help but feel a black line. Isn't this the Hun girl? Why did she get on my bed? He turned over and got out of bed, circled around the sobbing Hun girl twice, rubbing his hands repeatedly.

The girl was naked, without any strands of her body, and her white skin was shining with a warm light under the swaying light. She held her arms and covered her body. Her tears flowed, her eyes were red and swollen, like ripe peaches.

"You... why did you get on my bed?" Liang Xiao asked.

The girl just cried and couldn't understand what Liang Xiao was saying. Liang Xiao had no choice but to point to the bed and signaled her to go to bed first. The girl understood, and reluctantly climbed onto the bed, got into the thin quilt, and shrank into a ball. Liang Xiao pulled a pair of pants and put it on, and then said, "Niu'er, Niu'er?"

Pang Shuo walked in with great strides. "Master, what's wrong?"

"What's going on?" Liang Xiao pointed to the trembling Xiongnu girl on the bed and asked. "Why did she get on my bed?"

Pang Shuo looked at it for granted. "She is the captive of the Lord, and of course she has to be enjoyed by the Lord. Can she still make the crude men cheaper? Why, she can't serve others and annoy him. It's no wonder that Master Mei said she is a great daughter, but I think she has never served anyone."

Liang Xiao quickly interrupted Pang Shuo. What is this? "Where is Niu'er? Didn't I tell him? If I get drunk and can't let others approach me, how could he forget it?"

"I know this, Niu'er told me." Pang Shuo slapped his chest. "Don't worry, Lord, this woman can't understand a word of Chinese. Even if Lord scolds the emperor, it doesn't matter. Oh, Lord. Are you worried about the Master Huainan? It doesn't matter, Lord Huainan is not a stingy person, she..."

"Get out!" Liang Xiao couldn't listen anymore. This guy said so much? This is the first time I found out today. "Get some water and I'm so thirsty. Forget it. Forget it, I'd better go out and drink it."

Liang Xiao went out of the door and saw Mei Gao holding his legs, sitting in the corridor, shaking his head and muttering something. Seeing Liang Xiao, he laughed and waved. "A Xiao, come and sit down, there is water here."

Liang Xiao sat over, Mei Gao took a cup, poured him a glass of water. Liang Xiao took it and looked at Mei Gao. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Maybe it's because I've been away from home for a long time, I suddenly remembered my family and couldn't sleep for a while." Mei Gao hugged his knees, rested his chin on his knees. He looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. "A Xiao, do you think this moonlight shines on Liang Kingdom?"

Liang Xiao curled his lips. "Not to mention Liang Kingdom, there is only one moon in the whole world. Do you think you can see it?"

"Even if you can get it, there is a difference. For example, with the same sun, the south is much hotter than the north. With the same emperor, the people in the county here are not as much as those in Chang'an."

Liang Xiao was speechless. This literati was a literati, and his thinking was too leaps and bounds. He was worthy of being an expert in writing great fu, and his words were very clear.

"I just asked the woman. Her name is..." Mei Gao bit her tongue and made a very awkward sound, and then said, "If it were our Chinese, it means the moon. Her horse is also called the same name, saying it is a good horse from the Western Regions. But she is not a Hun."

"Isn't a Hun?" Liang Xiao thought for a while and felt it was right. This woman was indeed far from the ordinary Huns. According to race, the Huns actually looked similar to Han people, they were all Asians, and this woman looked a bit like Europeans.

"Their tribe comes from east of the snow-capped mountains and is descended from the Donghu who was conquered by the Huns."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized and couldn't help but slapped his head. That's right. Donghu people, or the Xianbei people later, are said to be the same, with white skin, yellow hair, and some have blue eyes.

"The Huns have suffered snow disasters in recent years, and the situation is not good. They need to obtain money, grain, cloth and silk from our Han Dynasty to overcome the difficulties. There are differences within the Huns on how to obtain them. Some people hope to get along with the Han people, and some people hope to rob directly. One of the purposes of the Dragon City Meeting is to discuss this issue, but the result is still unresolved. It may take until July to go to the forest to achieve results."

Liang Xiao's heart moved. "Ziru, do you have any ideas?"

Mei Gao nodded. "Yes, I want to take this opportunity to enter the grassland and check the reality. After all, the Empress Dowager is still there, and there are many people in the court who hold the Huang-Lao way. For a while, it is difficult for the ministers in the court to support the suggestion of sending troops to attack. It would be good if they could delay the marriage for a period of time."

Liang Xiao frowned and pondered for a while. "Are you worried that you will follow Gongsun Hong's footsteps?"

"Of course I'm worried. But isn't our purpose of on-the-go mission to check the situation of the Huns for His Majesty? Isn't it against my original intention to incite Your Majesty to send troops with your own interests?"

Liang Xiao felt a little ashamed. On this issue, he was not as open as a real Han man.

"Since that's the case, what else do you send this moon to my bed?"

Mei Gao smiled. "This is what she said herself. The people on the grassland convinced the strong. She said you are the strongest among this group of people, so she is willing to rely on you."

"Fart!" Liang Xiao spitted. "I still cried like that without voluntarily? Both eyes cried like peaches."

"Because she originally wanted to marry the eagle on the grassland, King Zuo Guli Yi Zhixie."

"Puff!" Liang Xiao sprayed out all the water he had just drunk, his eyes widening. Yi Zhixie? This name sounds very familiar. Could it be that the Xiongnu Chanyu Yi Zhixie later? If so, this girl has a very big background.

"What's wrong with you?" Mei Gao asked with concern when he saw Liang Xiao's face strange.

"It's okay." Liang Xiao shook his head, but he muttered to himself. If he abandoned the relationship between us, Yi Zhixie would be a character, and it would be nice to be able to compete with him for a woman. However, if he didn't have any emotional foundation, he would go to bed. It would be like that. Isn't it a bit...too sloppy?

Listening to the faint sound of the hustle in the yard next door, Liang Xiao sighed secretly. I am still a distance away from a real ranger.

After staying in Shanwucheng for two days, the customized iron armor and weapons were in place, Xie Guanglong led him to register. Although the city was set up in the border to trade with the Hu people, the imperial court had very strict control over strategic materials. War horses, copper and iron tools, and salt were all controlled. The basic principle was to enter and exit with a strict entry and exit. Liang Xiao and others had to carry a large amount of iron armor and weapons to go out of the customs. They had to register and obtain the certificate from the prefect's palace before they could get out of the customs.

After the various procedures were completed, Liang Xiao and his party left Shanwucheng and traveled north through Wuzhou. Before leaving, he left the moon girl in Shanwucheng, rode away her horse, and then gave his green test to Pang Shuo. Pang Shuo was too tall and without a suitable war horse, it was difficult for him to keep up with Liang Xiao's pace. He could not play the role he deserved.

After getting a good horse, Pang Shuo was so happy that he couldn't let go of his love.

The same goes for Xie Guanglong and others who were traveling with him. They were happier than the New Year when wearing brand new iron armor. The iron armor has much stronger protection ability than leather armor. On the battlefield where the ravine arrows fly, as long as you don’t encounter archery masters like Liang Xiao, it is difficult for ordinary archers to shoot through iron armor, and even if they shoot through, they are unlikely to be fatal. With iron armor, it is equivalent to having one more life.

Not only that, Liang Xiao also made a small change to the iron armor. The front and back pieces of the iron armor were originally separated. When wearing them, they used a rope to tie them tightly with their armpits and waist. Liang Xiao thought it was troublesome, so he asked the cobbler to connect the front and back pieces together and put the opening in front, which was a bit like a horse clip in later generations. Usually placed in a bag, put it on his body, cover it on his chest, and buckle it with a hook, which was convenient and fast.

For this reason, Liang Xiao paid nearly 2,000 more money. However, Liang Xiao felt that the money was worth spending, and the battlefield changed rapidly. It would save a little time and maybe he could have an extra chance of survival. Instead of giving him a pension in the future, it would be better to spend more money on equipment to increase their chances of survival.

The knights were very grateful for Liang Xiao's generosity. They were very dedicated to doing things. Without Xie Guanglong's instructions, they ran forward and back to ensure safety.

Under the careful protection of the knights, Ma Rong devoted himself to drawing maps. After several days of exercise, he was already familiar with these new tools. He was very comfortable in drawing pictures. Every time he painted a piece of sheepskin, he rolled it up and hid it in the mezzanine of the carriage.

Considering that the ambush in history took place in Mayi, Liang Xiao did not rush to go out of the frontier, but took a walk around the north of Yanmen. Before accepting Huan Yuan's oral teaching of military tactics, Liang Xiao heard Huan Yuan talk about the importance of terrain. At this time, he practiced it personally. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the plan of Mayi was almost a joke.

The reason is very simple. Mayi is in the south of Yanmen County, close to Yanmen Pass. The Huns came from the grassland. If they wanted to reach Mayi, they had to travel from Wuzhou to cross the Great Wall and then walk two or three hundred miles south. This section of the road is not as sparsely populated outside the Great Wall. There are several county towns, so it is definitely impossible to move all these people away. If they don’t move, keeping confidentiality becomes a big problem.

The final failure of Mayi's plot seemed to be because of leaks.

Before this, Liang Xiao thought it was wrong for the captain. Now that he saw the actual terrain, he felt that even if the captain did not leak the secret, others would leak the secret. Unless the Huns were so conceited that they were blind, the Mayi plot would not be successful.

Isn’t Wang Hui from the border county? How could he design such a mentally retarded tactic? It’s obviously not feasible.

Liang Xiao was also worried that he had read it wrong, so he took the opportunity to talk to Xie Guanglong and asked a question: "If you want to ambush the Huns, where would you choose the location?"

Xie Guanglong thought for a while: "The best location between the Tuidang City, or between Zhuwenze and Yanze is Zhuwenze. If the Huns want to fetch water, they must stay in Zhuwenze, which is convenient for ambushing."

"Can the Huns be led to Senei, such as Mayi or Shanwu?"

"Ha!" Xie Guanglong laughed exaggeratedly: "How is it possible unless the Huns were kicked in the head by horses."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything. He didn't think the Huns' brains were kicked by horses. He felt that Wang Hui's brains were kicked by horses. He was very talented and wise, Emperor Wu of Han, who was known as the hero of a generation, actually listened to his advice. He could only say that no one was perfect, and no matter how smart a person was, he would be stupid.

It is indeed impossible to read military books like war. If the terrain is not actually considered, the tactics designed will definitely be a bad word. If you talk about war on paper, you will definitely fail in the end.

Never let such stupid things happen-
