Overnight, the legendary story of the Han envoys attacking the camp and seizing the Huns' battle flag spread throughout Suye City.△￠,

Of course, this cannot be separated from the deliberate publicity of Creon and the merchants attending the banquet. It is secondary to holding banquets in the middle of the night, drinking and dancing, and how to take this opportunity to promote and boost morale is the key. Creon has enough wisdom in this regard.

After drinking, Liang Xiao and others went to rest, and Creon and others continued to discuss. The next day, Creon had already stopped everything, with bright armor, fiery red battle flag, and Xiongjun's war horses, waiting for Liang Xiao and others to perform.

As the stars were holding the moon, Liang Xiao stepped onto the war horse and started parading along the streets of Suye City under the guidance of dozens of Suye City soldiers. He didn't have to speak, he just needed to hold the Han Festival, keep smiling, and do his duty as a puppet. The rest were done by Creon's confidant Ampas.

Ampass was very dedicated. In order to strengthen his persuasion, he ordered people to hang Wudan's battle flag, and even made people compile the process of Liang Xiao and others' bravely snatching the battle flag into catchy poems, and arranged for people to go deep into the market and chant among the folks. In a trance, Liang Xiao felt an unreality, feeling that he had become the protagonist in Homer's epic and the character in the story.

Although Creon's arrangement was a bit exaggerated, the effect was obvious. The whole city's military and civilians were excited and their morale was high. The fear and anxiety caused by the siege of the Huns was greatly reduced, and they were even overexcited. The streets and alleys, whether the elderly or children, were talking about battles, as if the Huns were castrated overnight, and anyone could bully him.

Liang Xiao was very uneasy about this.

In addition, the influence of the Han Dynasty also expanded from the top to the people. Under Nie Yi's strong request, not only were the poems sung in two languages, but the flags used for publicity also had two languages. Even the cloaks of Liang Xiao and others and the words "Raider" on the armor were written in Greek and Chinese. During the parade, Liang Xiao even held the Han Festival throughout the whole process. The knights also wore red Han war robes with great visual impact.

In just half a day, the impression of the Han people among the people of Suye City underwent a major change. In the past, they only knew that the Han people produced exquisite silk, but now they knew that the Han people not only produced silk, but also fearless warriors. Even when facing the Huns, they were not afraid of one as ten.

Among the cheering crowds in the middle of the road, Liang Xiao saw many faces of Han people.

Most of them are Han merchants or followers of Han merchants. They are not strong enough to cooperate with Liang Xiao, and are not qualified to be a guest of honor for Creon. But at this moment, they can also share the glory brought by Liang Xiao. They are more excited than anyone else and smile brighter than anyone else. They try every means to squeeze to Liang Xiao and say hello to Liang Xiao. Some are simply behind the team and become part of the parade.

Seeing these faces that had never met but felt close to each other, Liang Xiao was very happy and felt proud from the depths of his heart. He knew how helpless these Han people who were thousands of miles away from home were, and he was very proud of his help to them.

When I returned to the city guard's mansion, the city guard's mansion was already crowded. The square in front of the door was crowded with people, some came to see the fun, some came to ask for a look, people shouted and neighed, and the water was out of reach.

Under Ampass's clearance, Liang Xiao finally entered the city guard house, but saw Creon smiling and surrounded by a large group of people, and the servants kept carrying one box after another. With Liang Xiao's rough sweep, there were dozens of them.

"What are they doing?"

Nie Yi squeezed over and heard Liang Xiao’s question. He laughed and lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Chengshou is making a fortune.”

"Get rich?"

"Yes. He asked the people of the whole city to donate money in the name of raising military expenses. He would have to enter this gate with a lot of money, and at least one thousand gold coins."

Liang Xiao was shocked. One thousand gold coins were equivalent to about thirty gold, and there were at least fifty people in front of him. So, Creon could receive at least fifty gold coins, equivalent to fifty and six hundred gold coins, which was more than the cost of Creon's support for him to build a mercenary group. If we count the donations that were small but very large, Creon not only did not lose, but also made a big profit.

This guy is indeed a money-lovers. He can't fight, but his ability to make money is superior.

"Is this considered a national crisis?"

Nie Yi looked at Liang Xiao in surprise and asked back, "Why don't officials do this?"

Liang Xiao didn't know what to say. He had heard of this, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. The Huns were still outside the city. As the city guard, Creon did not tighten the city defense, but was busy making money. He was really drunk.

Liang Xiao was not in the mood to care about Creon. He invited Creon aside and asked about the rewards of the Yuezhi Knights. After the night attack, the Yuezhi Knights stayed in the Yuezhi camp and did not return to the city with him. The Yuezhi Knights had no share of the glory they enjoyed.

Creon made a fortune and was in a good mood. He immediately allocated the promised reward to Liang Xiao, and also earned another 10,000 gold coins from Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao was not polite, so he accepted them all, and then rushed to the Yuezhi people's camp.

Seeing Liang Xiao, Asha smiled. "Liang Jun is so majestic."

"I am just a representative, and glory belongs to all warriors." Liang Xiao ordered people to take the gold coins and take out another five thousand gold coins. "These are what the warriors deserve, each of them has ten gold coins. These five thousand gold coins were given to Prince and Dalu. Thank you Prince and Dalu for your trust and support for me."

Ashana looked at the golden gold coins, turned to Batu and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Prince?"

Batu blinked and laughed: "Dalu, you don't have to look at me. I don't need to miss this amount of money, just give it to them."

"Okay." Ashana asked someone to call the thirty guards in, and in front of Liang Xiao, he gave all the eight thousand gold coins. In the end, there were two left. Ashana picked up one by himself and handed one to Batu. "Prince, this is the first battle for my Yuezhi warriors and the great Han warriors to defeat the Huns, which is worth remembering."

Batu nodded repeatedly.

Liang Xiao saw it and benefited deeply. Ashea was able to achieve the great fortune of Yuezhi and was deeply trusted by the Queen of Yuezhi. He was indeed not an ordinary person.

Azhana held a banquet to entertain Liang Xiao and discussed the war. Azhana was not Kreon, but only knew how to make money. He also had a personal understanding of the strength of the Huns.

"Mr. Liang, although the battle last night had slapped the spirit of the Huns, it did not move its roots. The Huns did not retreat and were still building siege equipment. A big battle is probably inevitable."

Liang Xiao agreed very much. When he was touring the city today, he saw the situation of the Huns' camp. The Huns' camp had returned to peace and had no intention of retreating. The prisoners of Dayuan were cutting down trees, building ladders, and preparing for siege. The cruel siege battle was inevitable.

"Cities are not that easy to attack. It depends not only on whether we are willing or not, but also on whether God gives him time." Liang Xiao said: "Da Lu, we must be prepared to hate war and also on pursuit. The energy should be boosted rather than discharged. If we can severely damage Wudan, only the Wusun people will be left. This is good news for Yuezhi."

Ashana's slightly jawed head. "Don't worry, if you have the chance to cut off Wu Dan's head, I will not let it go."

After returning to the city, Liang Xiao called Li Shuyun and asked him to take people to the mountain pass to meet with Meicai and Andrew. Meicai has been defeated for half a month, and it is really hard to say how long he can support him.

"No matter what method is used, we must cheer up Wei Cai and fight a turnaround." Liang Xiao pulled over the map and pointed to the location of the mountain pass. "Once the attack was frustrated, the Huns had to return on the same route. If the food and grass were insufficient, they would be greatly damaged. If the deputy king could ambush at the right place in Shandong, he would have the chance to turn defeat into victory. This is his last chance and he must not let him go."

"Don't worry, sir, I will convey it to him."

"You must be brave enough for Wei Cai to be brave, but you must be cautious enough. Whether hunting Jiaomi or Wu Dan, you are not good at it. Don't be able to kill a tiger, but you will be injured by the tiger."

Li Shuyun nodded repeatedly.

In order to ensure that Li Shuyun could arrive at the mountain pass safely, Liang Xiao asked Xie Guanglong to accompany him. After a hearty battle, these teenagers had proved their courage and strength, and it was time for them to truly go to the battlefield.

In addition to the Greek young knights, Liang Xiao also assigned thirty mercenary archers to Li Shuyun, including two second-class archers. Their mission was to protect Li Shuyun, protect Meicai, and find an opportunity to kill the Xiongnu and Wusun generals.

In this way, Liang Xiao handed over nearly half of the power around him to Li Shuyun. Li Shuyun dared not accept it and refused repeatedly. Liang Xiao insisted on doing so. He believed that Suye City had a city to defend, and there were five thousand Yuezhi cavalry, so it was useless to stay these hundred cavalry. It would be better to take Li Shuyun to the mountain pass to assist Meicai and find fighter jets.

Li Shuyun was extremely grateful and left Suye City that day. Wu Dan received a report from the scout and did not dare to be careless. He sent a trusted thousand-man commander to lead thousands of cavalry to chase him. The thousand-man commander chased him for more than a hundred miles. Facing Li Shuyun and others who were armed to the teeth, he did not take any advantage, and finally could only watch them go away.

The news was returned to Wu Dan. Wu Dan was so angry that he beat the bed and cursed, almost vomiting blood, and ordered people to drag the commander out and chop him. Someone advised him to keep someone under the knife, but he was furious and pointed at the man's nose and cursed.

"A thousand people face one hundred people, but they can't keep them. What courage will there be to face the Han people in the future? When the Huns were at their peak, there were only 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers, which was far less than the Han people. They relied on their courage to win the more with less. If a thousand people faced a hundred people, but they didn't even have the courage to fight, what advantage would the Huns have? What use is it to not kill such cowards? Are they kept as slaves for the Han people?" -
