After trekking in the mountains for two months, Liang Xiao appeared in the upper valley of the Gasatis River.

It seemed that he could smell the smell of his hometown. Mingzhu seemed to be more excited. He walked lightly, running on the grass where tender buds had just emerged by the river, constantly raising his head and hissing, like laughing.

The Greek teenagers were also very excited. They talked and laughed, and unconsciously spoke dialect. After many years of joining Liang Xiao in the Han Dynasty, most of them could speak fluent Chinese language, but when they arrived here, they instantly returned to their true colors and returned to the true nature of the young man who sheds horses and sheds sheep.

Liang Xiao also felt extremely relaxed. After crossing the Pamir Mountains, he seemed to have left the Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Wu of Han sent Li Guangli to conquer Dayuan in the late period of the Han Dynasty, the influence of the Han Dynasty has not yet truly affected the west of the Pamir Mountains. If you want to say that it has influence, then only he is qualified to be a representative.

Here, he can live more freely.

Shortly after leaving the mountain, Liang Xiao met the scout from Dayuan. When he learned that the champion Hou had returned, the scout was surprised and happy, and immediately reported the news to the local officials. Liang Xiao walked very comfortably on the following journey. Some people picked up and sent him to the way, and some people arranged food and accommodation. The most troublesome thing for him was the daily banquet. For people like him who are not good at drinking, the biggest problem with these people is drinking.

Wine is not easy to get drunk, but it is really uncomfortable to get drunk.

For Liang Xiao, drinking is a chore. For those who come to Dayuan for the first time, it is a paradise when they arrive in Dayuan. Dayuan people are rich and comfortable, warm and hospitable, and good wine and dishes are available, and singative dance girls also choose beautiful ones. Although Liang Xiao brings more than a thousand people, for those rich people in Dayuan, they can still be fully entertained.

The knights enjoyed the most noble hospitality and were happy to go home. If it weren't for Liang Xiao's strict orders, they would not have affected their normal training, and they would not know how many people's wine cellars would have to be empty.

A month later, Liang Xiao came to Guishan City, and Deputy Wang Meicai went out to greet him fifty miles away.

After several years, Meicai had some white hair, but he was more energetic. Seeing Liang Xiao, he came up with a smile, held Liang Xiao's arms, and shook them hard. "I haven't seen each other for a few years, the general has changed from an ordinary Langguan to a Marquis of Wanhu. It's really hard to believe."

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't say that, deputy king, I would not be today without the support of the deputy king. Seeing that the deputy king is energetic, Dayuan must have developed well in the past few years."

Mei Cai laughed. "I asked the general for blessing. The Huns were crippled, the Wusun people retreated back to the Tianshan Mountains, the Yuezhi people became allies, and the four realms of Dayuan were peaceful, and it was indeed a few years of peace." Mei Cai stopped and blinked again. "Aliusu died in battle, which is also good news."

Liang Xiao nodded knowingly. Aliusu was too strong. If he succeeded as King of Yuezhi, it would be difficult for Dayuan to have a good life.

"Does the deputy king know who Tianlang is?"

"I don't know, it seems like it suddenly fell from the sky. Who is this person?"

"Wu Dan."

"Wu Dan?" Meicai thought for a while and suddenly understood. "King Hun Xie?"

Liang Xiao nodded. There was a little more fear in Mei Cai's eyes. Originally, he felt that Tianlang was rampant east of the Palacio Mountains and had nothing to do with Dayuan. Now that he learned that Tianlang was Wudan, he realized how dangerous it was. With Wudan with strength, he would definitely join forces with Wusun to attack Dayuan again.

"Dayuan owes the general a favor again."

"Hahaha, Deputy King, you are now out of here. Not to mention that Dayuan is my vassal state of the Han Dynasty, we have the responsibility to protect you. Just talk about personal friendship, can I sit back and see Dayuan suffer from the evil spirit? Don't forget that there are my princess and children here, just like my second hometown."

"That's, that's it." Mei Cai was overjoyed and pulled Liang Xiao into the car. His car was very spacious, and there was a table inside, which was filled with wine and fruits. It can be seen that Mei Cai is living a very comfortable life now. He enthusiastically invited Liang Xiao to sit and poured a full glass of wine.

"Come on, I'll be able to take care of you first. When I return to the city, I can't make a decision." Mei Cai squeezed his eyes and showed a disrespectful smile. "General, you must be prepared too. The princess has been waiting for you for the past few years and is a little angry."

Liang Xiao smiled, raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

Tu Niuer knocked on the wall of the car and winked at Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao poked his head out, looked at Tu Niuer's fingers in the distance, and stood up. "Person King, thank you for coming to welcome me. I should have taken this opportunity to talk to you well, but now it seems that it will be rescheduled."

Mei Cai laughed. "It's okay, it's okay, you go. Logically, I shouldn't have taken this first."

Liang Xiao got out of the car, stepped onto Mingzhu, waved his hand to signal Tu Niuer and others to stay where they were, and urged the horse to leave alone.

By the Gasatis River, a woman in white was holding a child and riding a white horse, holding a reins. From a distance, she looked like a man in the picture. Seeing the white horse, Mingzhu was quite excited, quickened her pace, and raised her head and neighed.

The white horse turned its head, neighed, took a step, and ran over. The two horses came together, smelled each other, circled around, whipped their heads and tails, and were indescribable excitement.

Liang Xiao looked at Luo Xuli and spread his arms.

Luo Xuli smiled, raised her hand and threw the child she was holding over. Liang Xiao was shocked and quickly reached out to catch the child. The child leaned on Liang Xiao's shoulder and giggled. "Aweng, Aweng." It turned out to be Chinese.

Liang Xiao was both surprised and happy. "What did you teach?"

"I taught me." As soon as Luo Xuli spoke, she actually spoke Chinese, with a little Wu Chu accent.

Liang Xiao was even more surprised, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart. How much effort did Luo Xuli have to find someone who could teach her this accent? Businessmen in Wu Chu usually go out to sea, and few people come to the Western Regions to do business.

"How do I speak Chinese? Does it look like the accent of your hometown?"

"Like, like." Liang Xiao was deeply moved, jumped off the horse, reached out to carry Luo Xuli down, and walked side by side. The two horses were happily running to the side. Liang Xiao looked at Luo Xuli, then at the child in his arms, and smiled from ear to ear. "Have you named it?"

"I took it, the Chinese name is Liang Yu and the Dayuan name is Hannibal."

Liang Xiao blinked his eyes and felt something was wrong. "Why do you choose these two names?"

"You Han people have a brave and fearless general named Xiang Yu, and Carthage has a general named Hannibal who scared the Romans. I hope our children will be as brave as them in the future."

Liang Xiao glanced at the child with a grin in his arms and smiled innocently. "But neither of these two people could end up well."

"If you want to be a general, how can you expect a good end? That's too greedy." Luo Xuli smiled slightly. "Husband, I hope he can roam west of the Palacio Mountains, go to the Mediterranean, and be a great hero who stands tall. Can you teach him?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Luo Xuli sideways and couldn't help laughing. "You have such a big ambition, this is not like you before."

"I can't blame me for this. Who asked him to inherit your bloodline?" Luo Xuli chuckled, hugged Liang Xiao's arm, and leaned her head on Liang Xiao's shoulder. "My father likes this child very much and wants to keep him in Dayuan and pass the throne to him in the future. Do you think it's okay?"

Liang Xiao didn't say anything. He knew that Mei Cai had been jealous of the Dayuan throne for a long time. If the Dayuan King wanted to pass the throne to this grandson, Mei Cai would definitely have thoughts. "It's too early for the child to say this. Princess, your father has brothers, and you have brothers, why did your father still have such thoughts?"

"Because they don't have such courage, they only know how to drink and have fun every day. But my child has inherited your bloodline. If he is let to be king, Dayuan can also become a great country spanning thousands of miles, no worse than the Han Dynasty."

Liang Xiao suddenly felt aroused in his heart and couldn't help laughing. "You're thinking too much. The man belongs to the Liu family, not my Liang family. My son's surname is Liang, not only has nothing to do with the man, but also has nothing to do with Huainan Kingdom. All he can inherit is my title."

Luo Xuli blinked and asked again: "Can't you rob it?"

Liang Xiao laughed silently. No matter how well Luo Xuli said Chinese, her thinking habits were still from Dayuan, which was very different from those of the Han people. She would take whatever she liked, and would rob her, not at all humble. He wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing that Liang Xiao didn't say anything, Luo Xuli stuck out her tongue. "Did I say something wrong?"

"You can't say it wrong, you can only say it's not the best choice." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "The Han and Dayuan are different, but one thing is the same. Fighting for force should never be the first choice. Brothers should help each other instead of killing each other. Luo Xuli, if you have another child in the future, do you hope he and Hannibal will kill each other for the sake of the kingdom?"

Luo Xuli bit her finger, thought for a long time, and then rolled her eyes. "I won't have another child, I will have many more children." As she said that, she jumped up and threw Liang Xiao to the ground. Liang Xiao quickly raised Hanni high and shouted, "Be careful of the child, be careful of the child."

Liang Xiao was warmly received by the monarch and ministers of Dayuan. Seeing that the king of Dayuan was old, the government affairs had basically been handed over to Meicai. Naturally, he could only discuss the matter of borrowing troops with Meicai. After reunited with Luo Xuli and his son for a few days, Liang Xiao personally rushed to Meicai's mansion.

Seeing Liang Xiao coming to the door, Mei Cai went out to greet him in person. He looked at the only one behind Liang Xiao. He chuckled: "Are you so relieved?"

Liang Xiao knew it well and asked back, "What are I worried about coming to the deputy king?"

Mei Cai shook his head and pulled Liang Xiao's arm in. "I knew I wouldn't read you wrong. Come on, let's talk about the serious business. I'm afraid that it's not as simple as seeing the princess and son, right?"

"That's right, it's for Wusun."

Liang Xiao explained the general situation. He had mentioned to Mei Cai that Tianlang was Wu Dan before. Mei Cai was also aware of the dangers here and was very alert to Wusun. After several days of repeated weighing, he did not object to Liang Xiao's use of troops to conquer Wusun in principle, but only raised some specific questions. The most prominent problem was the shortage of troops, but actually the journey was too long.

"I plan to go to Yuezhi and Daxia for a trip. As for the journey, I haven't figured it out yet. However, climbing the Pamir Mountains may not be an ideal choice. People can barely walk, and the baggage is too inconvenient."

"Then are you going to launch an attack from Shanbei?"

"It's hard to say now. Dongfang Shuo is inspecting the battlefield north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. If he finds a suitable location, he will notify me."

Mei Cai was very surprised. "You didn't do such an important thing in person, and gave it to someone else?"

Liang Xiao smiled, meaningful. "We Han people have a saying, "How many nails can we make? If you want to do something big, you must have a few friends who can support each other and trust each other. Dongfang Shuo is a strange talent. He is different from others. When he came to the Western Regions, he just wanted to do something with me. Why can't I trust him?"

Mei Cai Ruo thought about something, and his head was slightly slight.

Liang Xiao and Mei Cai had a smooth talk. Mei Cai agreed that the general Jian Mi would temporarily lead a 10,000 army to assist Liang Xiao and provide enough food and weapons to use for a year. For Dayuan, which has a total strength of only 50,000 or 60,000 people, this 10,000 is about half of the mobile force that the royal court can call. Jian Mi once fought side by side with Liang Xiao. His subordinates also included hundreds of Greek veterans such as Old Andrew. It is definitely not true that they cooperated with Liang Xiao in combat. Mei Cai was still sincere.

However, for Liang Xiao, 10,000 Dayuan Army is far from enough. He needs more reinforcements. Even if he does not attack Chigu City forcibly, but engages in field battles with Lie Jiaomi outside the mountain, he needs at least 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry. No matter how good his knights are, they are too small after all.

Liang Xiao did not hesitate and rushed to Jianshi City to ask for the Queen of Yueshi.

Dongfang Shuo got out of the car, put his waist on his back, and looked at the river valley covered with fresh green, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This place should be the granary for hunting Jiaomi." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance. "Ma Zijin, I'll give you three months to map the topography here and make a model. I want to know every possible road."

Ma Rong frowned, raised his eyes wide open, looked around for a moment, and shook his head. "Three months are too short, I'm afraid it's not enough."

"It's not enough, it's April now, and it's July and August, or it's time to snow, and you have to wait for another year. Can we wait for a year? Can the army borrowed by Liang Junhou wait for a year? We can only wait for him, not him wait for us."

"But what if more people were sent to survey and map in order to catch up with the progress, and the Wusun people discovered it and the news leaked?"

"This is a problem." Dongfang Shuo touched his chin and pondered for a long time. "Don't worry and be bold, I'll go to Akagu City to hold them up."

"What if you are found?"

"If you are discovered, don't resist. Let them catch you in Akagu City. I will come forward and ask for people with Huojiaomi. However, people can be caught, but the map cannot be robbed. Every time you draw a map, copy one immediately and send it to Dabancheng." He paused and said, "Everyone is the same. Don't be afraid of trouble. The first goal is to complete the task."

He patted Ma Rong on the shoulder. "Don't worry, if you die, your son will inherit your title."

Ma Rong's eyes lit up suddenly. "Grant, I will have a title?"

"If it weren't for your chance to be a marquis, why did Liang Boming come to the Western Regions? He is already a marquis of Wanhu."

"Okay, sir, don't worry, I will complete the task."
