Junchen Shanyu strangled his mount and took a look at the wooden slip he had just received.
There is no text on the wooden slip, only simple pictures. In addition to oral communication, the Huns used this method to convey messages, and they were all messages that could not be easily disclosed.
The Han Dynasty in the south sent three generals to the frontier, including the famous flying general Li Guang, which made Junchen Shanyu very uneasy.
What did the Emperor of Han Dynasty want to do in the past two years, the Huns did not invade on a large scale, the border has been relatively peaceful, and both sides are at peace. Even when he encountered heavy snow last year, he did not enter the country to rob. It was already the end of his kindness, so why are the Han Dynasty people not satisfied?
Could it be that the old empress dowager died? The little emperor wanted to learn from his ancestor Liu Bang and try the Huns' bow and horses
Junchen Shanyu felt an indescribable anger and a hint of anxiety. Massacre told him many times that this little emperor was not like his grandfather Liu Heng, nor his father Liu Qi, but rather like his great-grandfather Liu Bang, an ambitious emperor. He wanted to change the ancestral system at the beginning of his ascension. If the Empress Dowager had not suppressed him, I don’t know what he would have been tormented now.
Junchen Shanyu was very worried about this. He was worried that the Han Dynasty would no longer be obedient and would no longer be tributed with others like before. The Huns were already used to all kinds of good things from the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty wanted to repent, they would be very uncomfortable.
It was precisely for this reason that the military minister Shanyu was unwilling to send envoys to the Han Dynasty to send envoys to Yuezhi. Regardless of whether the Yuezhi was terrible or not, the sending envoys itself represented a sense of resistance. He captured Zhang Qian, and the Han Dynasty sent Liang Xiao again. Now that Liang Xiao has caused so many troubles in Dayuan, he had to fight thousands of miles westward and interrupt the Han Dynasty emperor's hand stretched out.
At this time, the Han emperor sent Li Guang and others to guard the border. The military minister Shanyu had to consider the possibility of the Han Dynasty sending troops in large numbers. If the main force fought westward, but was attacked by the Han people, the losses would be great. Most of the wealth accumulated by Shanyu in all dynasties was in Longcheng. Many noble families were also in Longcheng, and once they were attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Whether to continue the Western Expedition or be carried out by the troops in the west, the main force of the royal court returned to Longcheng, Junchen Shanyu was a little undecided.
He convened various ministries to discuss matters. Everyone had their own opinions and could not argue. Not only did they not help Junchen Shanyu make a decision, but they made him even more confused. He decided to stop moving forward for the time being and asked the Massacre Bank of China to discuss.
On a hillside in the eastern part of Tianshan Mountain, Wu Dan held a bow in his left hand and his right hand, staring at the arrow leaving the string until the arrow hit the hare running a hundred steps away, and then he smiled with satisfaction.
The wizard sat cross-legged on a huge rock in the distance, and his feathered clothes were whispered by the wind, as if they had spread their wings and could rise up at any time.
Yiwuer walked over, picked up the hare, pulled out the knife, and peeled the hare with his hands and feet, broke his stomach, and found some dry firewood to make fire to roast the hare. After a short while, the hare exuded a tempting fragrance.
The hare was baked, Wu Dan tore off one of the rabbit's legs, came to the wizard, and served it with respectfully with both hands.
The wizard took the rabbit's legs and glanced at Wu Dan. "You are not calm enough today, is there anything wrong?"
Wu Dan lowered his head. "Yes, I heard from Yiwuer that there were a large number of Huns traveling west on the grassland. Not only the Hunxie tribe, the Rizhu tribe, but also the Xiutu tribe, the Wudu tribe, and the Wenyu tribe. Their pastures are all east. But when they travel west, there is a big war."
"There is a big war. It has nothing to do with you." The wizard bit off a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it slowly. "You are not strong enough to use the ground bow now, so why not wait for a year at most, and you can open the ground bow. At that time, you can get your throne back."
"Witcher, I can now use the three-stone strong bow, which is enough to deal with Liang Xiao and Aliusu. As long as I grab the bow in their hands, I can still get back the throne. Hunxie tribe was severely damaged one after another and its strength was greatly reduced. If I don't rush back in time, Hunxie tribe will be annexed by other tribes. At that time, what's the use of me going back?"
The wizard chewed the rabbit meat without saying a word. Wu Dan knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and remained silent.
The wizard swallowed his last bite of meat, stood up, looked at Wu Dan who couldn't stand up, and sighed. "Since you have decided, go."
"Thank you, great wizard." Wu Dan was overjoyed and stood up. "I asked Yiwuer to help the great wizard pack his luggage."
"No need, I don't want to leave here for the time being." The wizard shook his head and looked into the distance, with an unconcealed loss in his eyes. "When you need me, I will naturally appear by your side."
Wu Dan was a little disappointed, and a little shaken in an instant. However, he turned around and looked at Yiwuer's urgent eyes, gritted his teeth, leaned on the ground, kowtowed three times, and turned around.
"My Yuezhi once had three treasure bows. In addition to the human bow in your hand, there are two bows, which are in that valley." Aliusu pointed to the red valley vaguely visible in the distance. "Do you want to take it back with me?"
Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "I just want to know when you can give me this bow in your hand."
Aliu Su was speechless, and his face looked ugly as if he had been stepped on. After the competition, he was defeated, not only did he shoot two arrows by Liang Xiao, but he almost lost his life, but he also left a message. Liang Xiao asked him to fulfill his promise and hand over the corner bow in his hand. This bow was his spiritual sustenance for many years, just like his life. How could he bear to give it to Liang Xiao?
"I said, I will find a few high-end horns and make another bow for you."
"I said too, I want this bow."
"You" Aliu Su was speechless and turned around and left. Liang Xiao followed and said relentlessly: "You are sick and enter your body. You should not use this strong bow again. It is useless to stay with you. It is better to give it to me." After staying with the Yuezhi people for a long time, he learned a lot of Yuezhi words and could directly quarrel with Aliu Su in Yuezhi words.
"You care about me." Aliusu was furious. "My Yuezhi man was born a soldier, and he was proud of his death in battle and ashamed of his old age. I didn't expect to live until the day of illness. If you want me to give you the bow, you might as well kill me now."
"You are so embarrassed to be a prince, you are actually lying to pay the debt?"
"When will I betray the debt?" Aliusu was anxious, his eyes wider than those of a bull's eyes. He blushed and held it in for a long time, and suddenly had an idea. "I only said that I would give you the bow, but I didn't say when I would give you it. When I die in battle, I will send someone to give you this bow."
Liang Xiao stared at Aliusu, speechless. This muscular man is indeed scheming, and he can say such shameless words.
"Okay, I admit that you are shameless enough." Liang Xiao sighed: "Since nothing can be done, I'll leave. You can do it yourself." After that, he turned around and left.
"Wait." Aliusu limped over, spread his arms, and stopped Liang Xiao. "You have to help me take down Akagu City before you can leave."
Liang Xiao reached out and pushed Aliusu's arm away and sneered: "I don't have this ability, the prince should think of a solution by himself. Why do you die? I can't control it. If you want to take me to bury with you, don't even think about it."
Aliusu tilted his mouth. "I didn't expect you to be afraid too."
"I'm afraid of too much." Liang Xiao retorted. "For example, I'm very afraid of those who will be stolen."
Aliusu's face turned red, but he smiled proudly. "Talk about the serious business. You came so far away. Don't you hope I will restrain the Wusun people? Now I attack Aigu City. What's wrong with Aigu City being their royal city. After Lie Jiaomi heard that, he will definitely send the main force back to help."
"The premise for Liejiaomi to return to help is that you may take down Chigu City. Do you have any more than 10,000 elite cavalry you have, even if you destroy all your ten thousand spirits here, the blood dyes the valley a little redder, and Liejiaomi will not look at you directly."
Aliusu is speechless.
Such a quarrel has not been once or twice. Aliusu's injury had just improved, so he discussed with Liang Xiao, hoping that Liang Xiao could help him take down Chigu City. After checking the terrain of Chigu City, Liang Xiao refused. Chigu City was built on a valley, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Yuezhi people were mainly cavalry and were not good at siege and were helpless in this kind of mountain battle. Aliusu hoped that he would use Greek infantry to help him attack the city, which was simply fantastic.
The two have different goals and want to use each other to achieve their goals, but they cannot reach an agreement.
Liang Xiao was anxious.
In the past few days, news has been heard that the Huns are moving westward in large numbers, with endless people spreading over the grassland, as if mobilizing all tribes. He was worried that Meicai and Asha could not stand it, and urgently hoped that Aliusu could take action and attract the attention of the Huns. But Aliusu only wanted to seize Chigu City and increase his strength. Liang Xiao gritted his mouth and did not make any substantial progress.
He didn't want to waste his time anymore, so he decided to return to Suye City to assist Meicai and Ashana in dealing with the Huns.
Looking at Liang Xiao's somewhat angry back, Aliu Su tilted the corner of his mouth and showed a disdainful smile.
Liang Xiao took two steps and stopped again. "You are sure not to tell me the truth. If this bow falls into the hands of the Huns or Wusuns, I will not be so easy."
Aliusu smiled and stopped. "I have fought with the Wusun people and the Huns for so many years, but they have not caught me."
Liang Xiao smiled and said, "If the Huns occupied the west of the Palacio Mountains and captured the queen, where else can you escape? Although this desert is large, the water plants are limited. Even if you are a dragon, you will have to become an insect without water."
After saying that, Liang Xiao laughed at the sky and left.
Aliusu's eyes shrank slightly, and he wanted to speak but stopped. He turned around and looked at the red valley in the darkness, the snow on the top of the valley that never melted all year round, the beautiful and fertile valley like a fairyland, and the hunting Jiaomi who was on the expedition, a flash of violent blood flashed in his eyes.
"I will definitely take down Akagaki City, this is a chance God has given me."
