Chapter 339 Self-defeating

The Right Xian King had originally had suspicion of Lie Jiaomi, and now he dared not take it lightly. He didn't want to be bitten by Lie Jiaomi when he was unable to attack the city.

What's more, there is a more desperate Prince Aliu.

The Right King couldn't help but wonder if Aliusu attacked Chigu City and Liejiaomi returned to the rescue, would it be a lie, just to prevent him from conquering Suye City? Outside Suye City, there were five thousand Yuezhi knights who helped Dayuan defend the city. It was not the first time that Liejiaomi retreated without fighting.

Everything is possible. Of course, it is also possible that the Han man in front of him is talking nonsense and bewitching people's hearts. He did this just to disrupt the morale of the army and prevent him from attacking Yancheng with all his might.

But what if it is true?

The Youxian King thought about it and made a difficult decision. On the one hand, he bargained with the King of Kucha and delayed the time; on the other hand, he sent someone to Wusun to urge cattle and sheep. This was Lie Jiaomi who promised him. If Lie Jiaomi could still fulfill his promise, then he was still credible. If Lie Jiaomi was ruling the snake, then what Dongfang Shuo said was probably the fact. He had to make other plans and consider the issue of retreat as soon as possible.

He was really targeted by Liejiaomi, Aliusu and Liang Xiao, and he was likely to suffer a significant loss.

The Youxian King met with Bai Ba and Dongfang Shuo again, slowed down and agreed to make some concessions, not letting the King of Kucha go out of the city to apologize, and the warriors could also be reduced to 5,000, but the cattle and sheep required should not be missing, otherwise he would immediately attack the city.

Bai Ba let out a long sigh and immediately agreed to go back to the city to ask the King of Kucha. Just as they stood up and saluted and were about to leave, the Right Xian King smiled sinisterly and pointed at Dongfang Shuo. "You stay."

Dongfang Shuo's heart skipped a beat. "Me?"

"Well. I have some things to ask you." The Youxian King tilted his mouth and pointed at Bai Ba again. "Go back and tell the King of Kucha that if I don't give me a satisfactory reply within three days, I will go into the city. Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Bai Ba was shocked and looked at Dongfang Shuo for help. Dongfang Shuo's eyes rolled and he laughed. "Don't worry Bai Xiang, I just happened to want to chat with the Youxian King. You can go back with peace of mind and prepare the king. Don't delay it."

Bai Ba had no choice but to leave anxiously.

The Right Xian King looked at Dongfang Shuo and laughed loudly, his eyes uncovered his appreciation for Dongfang Shuo. "You are a rare warrior, I like you. If you stay here, I will let you be my Massacre, just like the Central Leadership by Shanyu."

Dongfang Shuo walked to the Youxian King, leaned against the Youxian King's food table, and sat cross-legged. "Who is Zhongxing said?"

"The Bank of China said that it was a Han eunuch, and the easy-going princess came to the royal court. She became the Massacre of the Shanyu. He was a smart man and helped Shanyu a lot. If you were willing to be loyal to me like he was loyal to Shanyu, I would not treat you badly." The Right Xianwang stretched out his hand and patted Dongfang Shuo's thigh vigorously. "I will make you king."

Dongfang Shuo's mouth was crooked. "It turned out to be a waste without eggs. Compared with me, I really can't be happy."

The Youxian King laughed. "No, yes, you are a great man, not comparable to the kind of eunuch who is covered in stinky body. How about it, are you willing to serve me?"

Dongfang Shuo thought for a while and shook his head. "A scholar died for his confidant. Liang Xiao knew that I was treated like a guest of honor, so I was willing to give him advice. But you compared me with the Bank of China, which is simply insulting me. How can I serve you?"

The Youxian King scratched his head, very embarrassed. "I was wrong. Don't blame me. What should I do to make up for the mistake? Gold, beauty, or horse? As long as I have it, I will give it to you."

Dongfang Shuo yawned. "Let me arrange a tent first. I'm a little sleepy. Have a nap, maybe I'll be in a better mood."

The Youxian King smiled and immediately asked someone to rest Dongfang Shuo. In order to prevent Dongfang Shuo from escaping, twenty guards were specially arranged to protect Dongfang Shuo day and night. After Dongfang Shuo left, the Youxian King put away his smile and swept across the faces of the generals with an eagle-like gaze.

"Everyone is vigilant and speed up the construction of ladders for siege. Once completed, siege the city immediately."

The generals agreed.

Bai Ba returned to the city and reported the incident to the King of Kucha.

When the King of Kucha learned that Dongfang Shuo had broken into Youxian King and forced Youxian King to give in, the King of Kucha was very happy. However, in the face of Dongfang Shuo being detained by the Huns, he was very uneasy. He sent someone to invite Jose and Li Danghuo and ask them for advice.

When Li Danghuo heard that Dongfang Shuo was left behind by the Huns, he was shocked and in chaos for a while. Jose also got into trouble. For a long time, Dongfang Shuo was their backbone. Without Dongfang Shuo's advice, what should they do?

"Or, we will agree to the request of the Huns?" the King of Kucha suggested. "Although the cost is a bit higher, it is better than massacre of the city."

"Master, don't be anxious." Li Danghu took a few breaths one after another to calm himself down. "Bai Xiang, can you tell me the story in detail?"

Bai Ba looked at the King of Kucha. The King of Kucha nodded and signaled him to say it quickly. Bai Ba had to say it again. Li Danghu listened carefully, and his face slowly returned to normal. After Bai Ba finished speaking, he thought about it for a long time and raised his head.

"King, the Huns are afraid."

"Scared?"

"Yes. He is afraid of being attacked by the Wusun people and the Yuezhi people."

The King of Kucha was very surprised. "Wusun... really formed an alliance with you?" He thought Dongfang Shuo was talking nonsense and lied to the Huns. Although Dongfang Shuo had been in Chigu City for a long time, Lie Jiaomi was an affiliate of the Huns and was incompatible with Yuezhi. How could they form an alliance and have to deal with the Huns together?

Li Danghu smiled slightly. "I'm not hiding the truth, the person who led his army through Wusun territory and attacked Daban was me."

The King of Kucha was stunned. He really couldn't understand the relationship.

"Don't worry, the King. Even if the Huns want to attack the city, they will build equipment such as ladders. Please prepare to prevent the Huns from attacking sneak attacks. Only by not seeing the hope of breaking the city can the losses be reduced."

The King of Kucha agreed. No matter what the Huns said, he didn't feel safe. The city defense was never relaxed.

After leaving the palace, Li Danghu let out a breath, and his cold sweat instantly wet his whole body. He said to Jose: "I want to go to Daban and tell the news of Liang Duwei. The general should hold on as much as possible, and I will come back as soon as possible. Now the Huns are in deep alone. Once they cannot capture it, they will probably retreat."

Jose nodded repeatedly. "General, you must go and go back quickly."

Li Danghu agreed immediately and took the men and women to Yancheng, traveling day and night to Daban.

Daban City is very lively, and Liang Xiao is in the La Festival according to the customs of the Han area.

When the Huns besieged the city, Liang Xiao thought of many tricks in order to adjust the atmosphere and prevent the soldiers from being too nervous. The La Festival was just a gimmick, and it was the key point to popularize some Han customs while having a meal.

These rough men couldn't think of so much. They were happy to eat meat and drink to satisfy their cravings. They spoke half-baked Chinese, followed Liang Xiao to salute in a good manner, then lined up to get the meat, then reached out to get two rewards from Liang Xiao. Until tomorrow morning, the money would disappear. I don't know which woman's arms were stuffed into, and they changed all night.

When Liang Xiao learned that Li Danghu had returned, he was shocked and quickly asked someone to take them over and take them directly to the back hall, making a joke.

"Why, you came back with the smell of meat?"

Li Danghu couldn't laugh, and he stood in front of Liang Xiao with shame. "Prince, I have let you down."

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Seeing Li Danghu's blisters full of fire, he knew that it was not a good thing. He felt even more uneasy when he heard this. He suppressed his emotions and signaled Sigma to bring wine and meat to Li Danghu and others, and his hands were already shaking.

"Eat first, and then talk about it, the sky will not fall."

The steaming wine and meat were brought up, and Li Danghu's tears also came down. He knelt in front of Liang Xiao with a thud and burst into tears. "Prince, Dongfang Shuo was seized by the Huns."

Liang Xiao suddenly felt a black look in front of him, and a muffled sound in his head, as if he was hit by a stick.

"Dongfang Shuo was caught by the Huns?" Liang Xiao pulled Li Danghuo and said sternly: "What's going on? Explain it clearly to me. Didn't I ask you to protect Dongfang Shuo? How could he be caught by the Huns?"

Li Danghu ignored the pain of Liang Xiao's arm being pinched, and told him what happened. Before Liang Xiao finished listening, he jumped up in anger and cursed.

"This idiot deserves his bad luck. You can't stay in the city, so you have to show off this hero? Now, you're under house arrest by the Huns, and all your plans are ruined.fuck!fuck!"

For the first time since the time travel, Liang Xiao lost his composure and had forgotten for a long time blurted out the dirty words. Not only did Shigma stunned, but even Li Danghu and others were frightened. It is normal for the Langguan to say swear words together, and Liang Xiao is no exception. However, it is the first time they and Liang Xiao’s colleagues have heard so many swear words appearing in Liang Xiao’s mouth for so long, and it is the first time they saw Liang Xiao so angry.

Li Danghu was the first to react, and went forward to hug Liang Xiao, dragged him into the inner room, closed the door, let Shigma watch him, and hurried out and said sternly to the Langguan who rushed back with him: "From now on, you must not leave this yard half a step. Without my orders, you must not say a word to anyone. Those who violate the orders will be killed!"

On the way back, Li Danghu had ordered the Langguan to watch their own mouths many times. At this moment, Yan Shen again, the Langguan knew it well, and no one dared to be careless. Less than half of the direct lineages in the fortress belonged to Liang Xiao, and the rest were miscellaneous troops pieced together by various races. If these people knew that the Huns were powerful, they would probably scatter and even turn against each other.

They looked at each other and nodded vigorously. "Here."

Li Danghu was also called Tu Niuer. "I am optimistic about the official office. No one is allowed to enter and exit without orders."

Tu Niuer bowed to take the order, called all the mercenary guards, guarded several doors of the official office, and did not allow anyone to enter and exit.

The atmosphere in the official office was tense. Outside the official office, soldiers who were not aware of the inside were still celebrating the Walrus Festival happily
