Liang Xiao stood in front of the Queen of Yuezhi as he wished.

Queen Yuezhi didn't care much about the gift he offered; the queen only glanced at the sword he took out and gently put it down. When he presented the black bow with both hands, Queen Yuezhi took it and hugged it in her arms. Tears burst out from her eyes, and instantly she melted the whitewash on her face.

Liang Xiao had heard Ashana say that the three bows of heaven, earth and man who were rewarded by the Huns to hunting auspicious people were all taken from the Yuezhi people. These three bows were treasures of the Yuezhi royal family and were beloved by the old king of Yuezhi, and they were always handed over to the Yan family for safekeeping. In order to protect these three bows, the queen almost sacrificed her life.

Thirty years later, the queen must feel uncomfortable when she sees this bow again.

Let her cry for a while. She may be able to remember the headless corpse of the old king of Yuezhi and feel guilty. In order to achieve the mission, I can only be so cruel to cut off the right arm of the Huns.

It took a while for the queen to hold back her tears and solemnly handed the bow back to Liang Xiao's hand. Liang Xiao was happy, but his face was still solemn. "Your Highness, if you are nostalgic for this bow, I am willing to present this bow to you."

After hearing the translation, the queen shook her head with emotion. "The rules on the grassland are only strong. This bow is taken from the hands of the Wusun people, and it is your spoil. If I want it, I either challenge you or buy you. Challenge, I can't find such a warrior; I don't have such strength to buy it."

Liang Xiao was very surprised. Although this bow is precious, it is impossible for even a dignified queen to redeem it?

"Young man, do you know why this bow is so strong? Do you know what the sky bow and the earth bow look like?"

Liang Xiao shook his head and bowed. "I would like to ask His Highness the Queen to solve the doubts."

"The strength of the bow is one in wood, and two in tendon horns. The high-quality jujube wood used in this bow is rare, but it is not unusual. The tendons and horns of this bow are the most precious." The queen wiped away her tears and looked at Liang Xiao, with a little more kindness in her eyes. "This is the tendon horns of wild yaks in the snowy area of ​​Kunlun. A yak horn is equivalent to a healthy cow. Fitness is common, and yak horns are difficult to find, and craftsmen who can make bows with yak horns are even rare, so this bow is hard to find."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized that no wonder this bow is much harder than an ordinary bow. It turned out that it was made of the tendon horns of wild yaks.

Five materials are required to make composite bows: wood, tendons, horns, silk, and lacquer. The first three items are the main factors that determine the strength of the bow. Generally speaking, the slower the growth, the better the quality, the plants and animals are the same. Wild yaks living on the snowy plateau are undoubtedly one of them. The bows made of their tendons and horns are stronger than those of ordinary animals, which is reasonable.

"The three bows of heaven, earth and man are the strongest, and the earth bow is second. The human bow is the weakest. The human bow has the power of three times that of ordinary bows, and the earth bow is three times that of human bows. The power of heaven bows is three times that of earth bows. The human bow must be a hero among humans to use, and the earth bow must be used by peerless heroes. As for the heaven bow..." The queen chuckled and shook her head. "Maybe only the legendary god general can use it."

Liang Xiao was skeptical. God General? That was too outrageous. However, if the power of the sky bow was really that strong, it would probably only be used by the legendary hero. The human bow was already more than two stones, and the sky bow was nine times that of the human bow, which would cost about twenty stones. As far as he knew, the strongest crossbow in the Han Dynasty was just like this. It was a fantasy to try to pull it away by human power.

"At that time, Lao Wang was able to use a human bow to dominate the grassland, and the Huns had to bow down and submit to the court to seek peace. Lao Wang's strength was weak, and no one in Yuezhi could draw this bow, so it was destroyed by the Huns."

The queen sighed, her eyes desolate and sad, immersed in the glory and self-blame of Yuezhi, unable to extricate herself.

Liang Xiao looked quietly, lowered his head, and looked at the black bow in his hand, his blood was boiling. The old king of Yueshi could dominate the grassland with this bow. Can I also make achievements and expand my territory with this bow?

"This bow fell into your hands, it was God's will." The queen looked at Liang Xiao deeply. "Tell me, how can we fight back the Wusun people and maintain peace together?"

Liang Xiao knew that the critical time was coming. The Queen of Yuezhi was able to preside over major events for more than 30 years and gain the support of many Yuezhi strong men. Judging from her like this, it should not be due to her strength, but to wisdom. If she wants to convince such a person, it is impossible not to show some real things.

She is not a little girl like Luo Xuli.

Fortunately, he has been preparing for this moment for a long time, so he is naturally full of confidence at this moment.

Liang Xiao turned around and waved his hand. Pang Shuo brought a map, which was painted in a whole cowhide. For this map, Liang Xiao and Guo Wenbin spent two days referring to the opinions of the Greek veterans accompanying him. It can be said that this is a map that can be called a treasure.

The reason is very simple. He is the one who has a comprehensive understanding of the Hezhongdi area. Those veterans may be familiar with details, but in terms of overall concepts, no one can compare to him, who has seen the world map countless times.

When the queen saw the map, she suddenly lit up her eyes, and there was a little more appreciation and confidence in her eyes when she looked at Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao smiled confidently. In fact, this map is not complete. In order to avoid arousing the queen's suspicion, he has no pictures in many details. He just roughly drew the directions of several countries, focusing on the Pamirs, Kunlun and Tianshan Mountains. At the same time, in order to enhance the queen's confidence, he specially drew the Han Dynasty a little larger, accounting for almost two-thirds of the map.

Liang Xiao talked freely, but there was only one central idea: the Han Dynasty would defeat the Huns. If the Yuezhi did not join forces with the Han Dynasty, it would be trampled by the Xiongnu who moved west in the future. That is, at present, the Yuezhi had strong enemy Wusun in the east, Daxia in the south, and Anxu in the west, but Dayuan in the north was slightly weak. Once Dayuan was occupied by Wusun, the Yuezhi people would be attacked from all sides, and there was no reason to survive.

The queen frowned and stared at the map for a long time. Although Ashana had heard Liang Xiao say, she still felt frightened and anxious when she heard it again. The Huns left them too deep. Once the Huns moved westward, the situation would be much more serious than the Wusuns conquered Dayuan.

The Yuezhi people could not even stop the Wusun people, but could they still block the Huns?

"What should we do if we use our opinions?"

"Of course, it is a cross-border attack between the east and the west, which severely damages the Huns. As long as the strength of the Huns is damaged, even if they flee west, with Dayuan in the north, the Yuezhi can be safe and sound. If Dayuan is destroyed, the Yuezhi will only be face-to-face with the Huns. Even if they win, it will be a miserable victory. If they lose, either the Huns advance south or the Baktrians advance north, the Yuezhi will be destroyed."

The Queen and Ashana exchanged a look. Ashana said again: "We have fought with the people of Dayuan many times and have hatreds. Can they accept our support and let our warriors enter Dayuan?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "This is indeed a problem. If there are only three or five thousand people and are led by cautious people, it would be fine. If there are too many people and they are unwilling to abide by the rules and act freely, the people of Dayuan may not agree. Maybe they surrender to the Wusun people in anger and turn to become enemies of Yuezhi."

"Can the army of Wusun people be retreated?" The Queen of Yuezhi was puzzled. "Although the Wusun people are not as powerful as the Huns, they also control tens of thousands. The people who can mobilize Dayuan people probably won't have more than 20,000 people, right?"

"Your Highness is wise, it is indeed so." Liang Xiao was prepared and said calmly: "But if the Wusun people fought on both sides, the situation would be different."

"Fight on both sides?"

"Yes. We Han people often say that the way to use troops is to fight the enemy but not to fight the enemy. The Wusun people relied on the support of the Huns and had strong soldiers and horses. If they failed to attack the Yuezhi, they wanted to attack Dayuan and detour behind the Yuezhi. However, there was a mountain between them, which was difficult for them to take care of. This was a good time for the Yuezhi to counterattack."

Liang Xiao found the mountain pass east of Dayuan on the map, and it was a little deeper.

"If there are more than 10,000 people waiting for their time to work, and to hold the Wusun people here. The Yuezhi people east of the Pamir Mountains can take the opportunity to collect their old subordinates, advance eastward at the right time, and attack the Wusun people's nests. Or ambush the Wusun people's must-pass place for the Wusun people to withdraw their troops, and attack them when the Wusun people retreat. If they can severely damage the Wusun people, you will have the opportunity to return to their hometown. Even if they fail, you can have a few more years of peace."

The Queen of Yuezhi had a slightly slight head and agreed to discuss with the ministers, and then replied to Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao bent back and retreated.

Two days later, the Queen of Yuezhi summoned Liang Xiao again and decided to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty. She sent Dalu Ashana and Prince Batu to lead 5,000 cavalry to Dayuan. The Prince Aliusu led the Yuezhi people east of the Pamir Mountains to advance eastward, summoned the old subordinates and Qiang people who stayed in Nanshan, waiting for the opportunity to fight. The Queen decided that after the war, Balu would follow Liang Xiao back to the Han Dynasty as an envoy of the Dayuezhi to meet the Emperor of Han.

At the same time, the queen rewarded Liang Xiao with great reward.

Liang Xiao completed the task successfully and returned with a full load.

In the middle of the mountain pass, Li Shuyun and old Andrew stood side by side on the cliff, with their arms open, allowing the whistling north wind to blow across their faces. The blood-red cloak was blown by the wind, like a battle flag.

"The Wusun people came so fast." Li Shuyun smiled and said, "Old Andrew, if it weren't for you, we might have suffered a loss."

Old Andrew smiled bitterly and said, "We suffered a great loss because we didn't have time to set up the formation. This time I have to be careful when dealing with the Wusun people."

Li Shuyun understood it. Old Andrew's shoulders are heavy, and psychological burden is even more important. He considers himself the elite Greeks and is valued by Liang Xiao. If this battle is not good and the Wusun people can easily enter Dayuan, what kind of face does he have to live?

"Can the levels we set stop the Wusun people?"

"Don't worry." Old Andrew pointed to the mountain road, full of confidence. "I have been grazing here for many years, and have entered and exited the mountain pass many times. I am very familiar with the terrain here. Look at this slope, although it is not the narrowest, the slope is the largest. When the Wusun people arrive here, they can only dismount and walk..."-
