Chapter 255

Creon was very angry. ◎,

The city guards in Dayuan are similar to those of the prefect of the Han Dynasty, but their power is much greater, equivalent to those of the princes. Although Liang Xiao was an envoy of the Han Dynasty and is now highly valued by the King of Dayuan, he cannot be so arrogant in front of him, Suye City guards.

Let me see you? You have mistaken the identity of the guest and host.

Creon ignored the people sent by Nie Yi, and did not say he would go, and he left him there, and did whatever he should do. He took care of the guards at the door. If Liang Xiao or Nie Yi asked for a meeting and kept them outside, he would say I was busy and he would not have time to see them.

Creon sat in his city guarding palace, thinking about how to give Liang Xiao a warning later to make him realize the form. At this moment, the general guarding the city gate came to report that there were countless cavalrymen with hair and hair outside the city, and it looked like there were at least four or five thousand.

Creon was shocked and almost sat on the ground.

"Huns?"

The person who reported the report was sweating coldly, nodded repeatedly, and shook his head again and again. Creon was anxious, and kicked the man and kicked him. "Is it or not? You nodded and shook your head, what does it mean?"

The man turned over and knelt down with a crying voice. "Sir, he does look like the Huns, but I don't know if it is. They... they seem to be from the west."

Creon's eyes rolled and thought of Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao was also coming from the west. He should have seen these barbarians. Could it be that he came to report the news, or... these barbarians were brought by him?

When he thought that Liang Xiao might have four or five thousand barbarian cavalry, Creon dared not put on airs anymore. He knew his family's background. There were only more than a thousand soldiers in Suye City, and he had no advantage in the face of four or five thousand barbarian cavalry.

Creon hurriedly brought his entourage to Nie Yi's house. As soon as he met, he looked at Liang Xiao's face. Seeing Liang Xiao's serious face, a trace of ominous feeling suddenly flashed through his heart.

"The envoy comes from Guishan City?"

Liang Xiao felt that Creon's expression was not right, and he seemed a little scared when he was polite. He thought about it and suddenly remembered the Yuezhi cavalry outside the city. He hurriedly said, "Did you see the cavalry outside the city?"

Creon nodded embarrassedly. "I heard that these cavalry came from the west, have you ever encountered them?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Of course I met. They are the Yuezhi Cavalry I brought."

"Ah?" Creon's face changed suddenly. He stood up suddenly, took two steps back, and signaled the guards to come forward to protect him. Then he shouted loudly: "Empress, what do you mean?"

With a "slam", dozens of soldiers stepped forward and surrounded Liang Xiao and Nie Yi in the middle. When Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo saw it, they immediately drew out the sword and prepared for the battle. Alpha and the other four surrounded Liang Xiao. Sigma, Beta and Xiya cooperated to put the black bow on the strings and were ready to hand it to Liang Xiao at any time. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Nie Yi's guards surrounded him and surrounded Kreon and the guards in the center.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense, as if facing a great enemy.

Liang Xiao and Nie Yi looked at each other, not knowing what disease Kreun had. After a while, Nie Yi suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Sir, you misunderstood. Now Dayuan and Yuezhi Alliance, these Yuezhi cavalry are here to help Dayuan fight against the Wusun people."

"What?" Creon was a little dizzy. Nie Yi said it again, and Creon finally heard it clearly. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a sigh, and smiled awkwardly: "I thought... shame, ashamed."

Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. What a Dayuan official, after all, he was also a member of the country, so why was he so uneasy?

"Sir, although the Huns have not arrived yet, it's too soon." Liang Xiao asked Li Shuyun to tell the situation at the mountain pass. He told Li Shuyun in advance that he could not say that Mei Cai was defeated, but he could only say that he had encountered some setbacks for the time being. Ordinary soldiers knew that Mei Cai was defeated, and they basically had no channels to speak out. These city guards were nobles, so they knew that Mei Cai would be troublesome if she was defeated.

When he learned that outside the city was the Yuezhi people, and they were allies but not enemies, Creon's heart had just fallen back to his chest, but when he heard that the Huns were coming, Creon felt dizzy and his eyes were full of stars. To him, the Yuezhi people were of course terrible, but the Huns were ten times more terrible than the Yuezhi people. The reason was very simple. The Yuezhi people were defeated by the Huns and fled to the west of the Palacioles.

Liang Xiao was speechless. Such a person could actually serve as the guardian of Suye City, and there was no one in Dayuan. However, thinking about Wu Wu, Wei Cai, he really couldn't ask too much about this Creon.

Liang Xiao was patient and waited until Creon fainted, then he said, "Mr. Although the Huns are numerous, they are not good at attacking the city. Now it is winter, and the Huns are plundering and gaining nothing, so they will inevitably be in a difficult situation. Now Deputy King Meicai still occupies the mountain pass. If the Huns want to retreat, they must go a long way. Once they encounter heavy snow, they will definitely be severely damaged. At that time, Lord and Deputy King Ke will make great contributions."

Creon's eyes flashed and hesitated. According to his personal meaning, he had no confidence to fight the Huns. But Liang Xiao said it was reasonable. As long as he guarded the city, he had the opportunity to make contributions. What's more, as the guardian of Suye City, he had contact with many merchants and had heard of the savage and cruelty of the Huns. He did not want Suye City to be looted by the Huns.

He looked at Liang Xiao and saw that Liang Xiao was full of confidence. He thought about his deeds and thought about the five thousand Yuezhi cavalry outside the city. He gritted his teeth and bowed to Liang Xiao and Nie Yi. "I will follow the envoy, please help me."

Liang Xiao bowed and returned the gift.

At Liang Xiao's suggestion, Kree urgently mobilized, strengthened defense, and allocated some supplies to the Yuezhi people. Kreeon did not dare to let the Yuezhi people enter the city. In his eyes, the Yuezhi people and the Huns were no different, they were both barbarians. Seeing the wealth of Suye City, they would inevitably become malicious. Besides, as for cavalry, it is better to be outside the city.

Liang Xiao did not force him. He was also worried that the Yuezhi people would not be able to control him. If the Huns did not come and the Yuezhi people robbed Suye City, it would be that they would shoot themselves in the foot.

After discussing the city defense, Liang Xiao took the food and materials delivered by Creon out of the city and returned to the camp where the Yuezhi people had already established. The people of Dayuan were not good at riding and shooting, but the skills of defending the city were OK. As long as they did not give up, the Xiongnu would probably not be able to capture the city. However, the Yuezhi people's fear of the Xiongnu should not be underestimated and should be dealt with carefully.

Liang Xiao suggested that Ashana give up the habit of establishing camps by the nomadic peoples in a casual manner, and set up camps between Suye City and Suye Water in the Han way, and cut down trees as camps. With the city and Suye Water, their project volume is much smaller, and more importantly, this can be supported inside and outside Suye City, and when necessary, you can retreat to Suye City.

Ashana accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion. He himself knew that when facing the Huns, the Yuezhi people were psychologically at a disadvantage. With the protection of the camp, it could increase the sense of security and prevent the soldiers from being too nervous and being distracted.

The inside and outside Suye City were busy, and everyone was involved in intense preparations. No one wanted to become a ghost of the Huns.

Out of Liang Xiao's accident, the Huns who acted quickly and came like the wind came late this time. Five days later, the scout sent the news and found that the Huns were still three hundred miles away.

Liang Xiao felt very puzzled, and Ashana was also confused. There were more than a thousand miles from the mountain pass to Suye City. At the speed of the Huns, five or six days must have arrived. Why did it take seven or eight days to walk and more than three hundred miles?

The two of them thought for a long time, and Liang Xiao suddenly realized a problem.

"Wu Dan brought the captured Dayuan infantrymen and prepared to attack the city, right?"

When Ahsha heard that, he felt that it was very likely. The weather was getting colder, but Wudan gave up the speed advantage of the Huns. There was only one possibility: he planned to spend the winter in Dayuan. Suye City is an important town on the grassland business road and an important city on the eastern border of Dayuan. Capturing Suye City was enough for Wudan to survive this winter. He could continue to march westward when spring began tomorrow.

After guessing this possibility, Ashana was even more nervous than Liang Xiao. This shows that Wudan really means occupying Dayuan. Once the Huns occupy Dayuan, it will be extremely unfavorable to Yuezhi.

"what to do?"

"Da Lu, don't be anxious. Even with Dayuan infantry helping him, it's not so easy to conquer Suye City." Liang Xiao comforted: "Siege is not a field battle, it takes a lot of time. I think God may not be willing to give Wudan time. Maybe this is a great opportunity for us to severely damage Wudan. The Hunxie King's army has greatly damaged its vitality due to internal strife. If it is frustrated again, then you will have a chance to return to your hometown."

Ashana nodded repeatedly. He agreed with Liang Xiao's opinion very much. Although Liang Xiao was still awkward in specific tactical arrangements, his overall view was very outstanding. From the war in Suye City to the future of the entire Western Regions, even Ashana might not be able to consider so much.

The two had agreed to discuss that in order to prevent the Huns from attacking Suye City and attacking other cities, Ashana urgently sent people to bring Batu to the army. At this moment, protecting Batu is more important than helping the people of Dayuan.

Wu Dan was drinking fine wine and hugging the beauty, and was in a good mood.

He increasingly felt that Dayuan was a good place, with good wine, beautiful women, good singing and dancing, and compared with the Hun women, it had a different taste, just like their singing and dancing.

No wonder the Han people traveled thousands of miles to form an alliance with Dayuan. This is really a good place. How could this fool Lie Jiaomi leave Dayuan without eating the fat piece of meat and insist on fighting with the Yuezhi people?

When Wu Dan thought of the Huo Jiaomi who was still blocked in the mountains, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

He is a hunting dog of the Huns, so he has no autonomy. He can't decide whether to fight Yuezhi or Dayuan. Even if he wins, isn't the Huns the most rewarding? The hunting dog can only be divided into one piece of meat at most, and the biggest prey is the owner's.

Wu Dan has received news that there are five thousand Yuezhi cavalry outside Su Ye City. Su Ye City is strengthening the walls and clearing the fields and strengthening the city defense. But these did not make Wu Dan nervous, but instead made him more confident. What is the Yuezhi people? In front of the Huns, they can only escape. What is the use of strengthening the city defense? Su Ye City only has more than one thousand guards, and he captured more than five thousand Dayuan infantrymen. Even if five fight one, he can still take down Su Ye City.

Anyway, the people who died were all from Dayuan, so he didn't feel sorry for him. The more Dayuan infantry died in battle, the lighter his burden was.

Take Suye City, spend a comfortable winter in Suye City, accumulate energy, and win the entire Dayuan next year.

Wu Dan opened her arms, stretched her waist, and was very excited about her grand blueprint.

"Liang Xiao, you have really helped me. When I catch you, I will sign you as king. Well, what kind of king should I be named? You are the messenger sent by God to help me, so call me the King of Heaven."—
