Liang Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the mountains in the distance again and again. △,

The scout said that there were many horse hoof prints and human footprints found there, and a large number of people had hidden there. Judging from the items left behind, they were not ordinary scouts, but powerful people with status, and even Lie Jiaomi himself.

Liang Xiao was skeptical about this. He believed that Lie Jiaomi could come to the battlefield in person and seek close reconnaissance, but this was only possible after all, and no one could guarantee that the scout might make an objective mistake, and subjectively it might add fuel to the fire, saying one point could be 70% and five points to ten.

After all, they are all humans, and there is always a possibility of mistakes.

However, it is not important to him whether Liejiaomi himself is stationed in the valley. Even if there is no close reconnaissance, Liejiaomi is nearby. The war is about to break out, so he is ready for battle. As for whether Liejiaomi reconnaissance himself, there is no difference.

He ordered the increased vigilance and reconnaissance, and arranged for Ashana and Jianmi to continue training, but the intensity was reduced and he no longer practiced so fiercely. After ordering, almost all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief except for the generals who knew the purpose of doing so.

Liang Xiao was too ruthless. Even the people of Dayuan who were used to being comfortable, even the Yuezhi people who had been fighting were a little overwhelmed. Yuezhi people were a nation on horseback. They were soldiers in wartime and the people in peacetime. When there was no peace, hard work became their characteristic. But even so, Liang Xiao's intensive training still made them suffer.

It goes without saying that Liang Xiao's training intensity is so high that even these Yuezhi people have never seen them. After a long time, there will inevitably be some complaints. If it weren't for Liang Xiao's reputation, Ashana and Jian Mi obeyed his plans, maybe someone would have caused trouble.

After more than a few months of torture, Liang Xiao suddenly reduced the intensity of training. The Yuezhi people and Dayuan people suddenly felt much more relaxed. Even the mood was different during training. They were extremely happy and laughter continued.

Liang Xiao was very satisfied with the mentality of the soldiers, and Ashana and Jianmi were also very satisfied. They could all see that after Liang Xiao's torture, the combat skills and psychological qualities of these knights had been significantly improved, and they could smell the little smell of the iron-blooded elite from them.

Although the knights under Liang Xiao's troops did not comment on this, they even disdained to comment.

"June, will Lie Jiaomi come to fight?" Ashan's kicked the war horse and moved Liang Xiao closer.

"It's hard to say, I'm not a bug in his belly, how could I know what he is thinking?"

"Did the Lord have no idea at all?"

"Of course there are ideas, but you can't make up for it." Liang Xiao held the horse's reins. "In my opinion, there are two ways to fight or not fight. There are reasons to fight, and there are reasons to fight without fighting. Maybe he himself can't make up his mind now. Otherwise, he would have been out long ago, so why bother to be in the valley?"

Azhan laughed. "Actually, according to my opinion, there are many reasons for fighting, and there is only one reason for not fighting."

“What’s the reason?”

"He is afraid of the Lord." Ashan's beard stroked under his jaw and turned his head to look at the Tianshan Mountains in the distance. "If it weren't for the Lord, let alone the eight thousand cavalry, even if it was twenty thousand cavalry, Lie Jiaomi would not have endured it until now. Even if I don't know much about the situation in Wusun, I know how important this pasture is to Wusun. If it were my Yuezhi who encountered this situation, even if I fought for the strength of the entire clan, I would have to take it back."

Liang Xiao smiled and said nothing. Ashana was just talking about the general situation. Liejiaomi was obviously much calmer and more patient than him. This battle was related to the survival of Wusun. How could Liejiaomi not be cautious? He could still maintain restraint when the ranch was taken away. This is where Liejiaomi surpassed others.

The Lord should not provoke troops because of anger, and the general should not fight because of anger. This is the principle of war. Decisions made in rage are always prone to problems. Liejiaomi has the status of the Lord and General. If he does not remain calm, how could Wusun have the opportunity to dominate the Western Regions? Recently, the Han Dynasty would use two princesses to win over.

Only by conquering Wusun can we truly control the Western Regions. Only by defeating Hujiaomi can we truly conquer Wusun.

"Where are you, do you want him to come or not?"

"Me?" Ahshana was stunned for a moment, and rolled her eyes. "I hope he won't come."

Liang Xiao laughed silently. "Why, don't you want to return to Jianshi City earlier?"

"If I wait for an additional year or two, I can bring a real elite cavalry back to Jianshi City, I am willing to wait." Ashana looked around and lowered his voice. "June, although the queen is weak, she is wise enough to unite different people. It is hard to say whether the new king ascended the throne. Although I dare not expect to be as powerful as Deputy King Meicai, I don't want to be slaughtered."

Liang Xiao blinked his eyes. "Da Lu is in a high position and has high moral character and high respect. Who dares to slaughter you? Batu succeeds to the throne, and he still has to rely on Da Lu to stabilize the situation. Of course, I hope Da Lu will continue to play a role as always. After all, after working together for so long, I still owe Da Lu a favor."

Ashan laughed loudly, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. With Liang Xiao's words, his power in Yuezhi was guaranteed, and he might be able to expand further. Of course, even without Liang Xiao's support, as long as there are these five thousand elite riders in hand, no one dares to touch him easily.

After all, strength is the most important thing.

The two formed an alliance between just a few words, and Asha Na was in a good mood and had a happier chat. The Yuezhi internal conflicts were full of conflicts, not only did the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction stand against each other, but also fought for each other in how to divide the interests. As a great fortune, Asha Na knew very well about this. If it weren't for the possibility of a civil war in Yuezhi, he needed his own elite power, and he would not have worked tirelessly and followed Liang Xiao on an expedition again.

Liang Xiao was also very happy. He had known that there were differences within the Yuezhi, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that Azhan wanted to pull him as an ally. In this way, besides Batu and Mosuyeye, he had a third interest partner in the Yuezhi. He was just about to sleep, but someone gave him a pillow. How could he not accept it with a smile?

The two of them got their needs, and they were talking lively, and a cavalry came from a distance.

"General, the Wusun people have left the valley."

Liang Xiao was slightly stunned and turned to look at Ashana. Ashana happened to see him. The two of them smiled at the same time.

Liang Xiao said, "The world doesn't meet people's wishes."

Asha nodded. "The clouds in the sky are full of clouds, I don't know which one will rain. This time, we can't wait for the fruit to ripen."

Liang Xiao laughed loudly, turned his horse's head, and issued an order to prepare for the battle. The messenger slapped the horse and ran wildly, and handed over the order to teleport to various departments. Ashana plucked the sword around her waist and straightened her back. "June, I'll go first."

Liang Xiao clenched his fists and tapped his chest. "Try hard!"

"Try hard!" Ahsha's kicked the war horse and shouted softly, and rushed away with the guards.

For a moment, horses galloped in the valley, drums and trumpets were heard one after another, and the joyful and peaceful atmosphere was swept away. The knights who were training were also a little nervous, and they rode their horses back in line, shouting and neighing, and mixed together.

Sebas and other Sebassian boys also immediately gathered and gathered behind Liang Xiao. When they first arrived at the battle formation, they were both excited and uneasy.

Liang Xiao raised his hand, waved it gently, and signaled to slowly withdraw to the camp. Seeing that Liang Xiao was calm, the young men gradually became uneasy and withdrew to the camp in an orderly manner.

Liang Xiao stayed at the end, raised his clairvoyance in his hand and looked at the Wusun people in the distance.

The Wusun people are like mudslides that have left the gate, flowing slowly, leaving the canyon, and not letting their horses run wildly, but slowly unfolding.

Liang Xiao tilted his mouth and frowned secretly. Although Lie Jiaomi left the valley, he was cautious but increased instead of reducing. This was preparing to counterattack against the defensively. This was not the state he expected. He was not afraid that Lie Jiaomi would be angry and desperate, nor was he afraid that Lie Jiaomi would be as cautious as a turtle, but he did not want to see Lie Jiaomi take every step and fight steadily.

No matter how wonderful a plan is, it requires the other party's cooperation. If the other party fails to fall into the trap, all the plans will be empty. If the hunter makes mistakes, he will have no chance to take advantage of it, and it will eventually turn into a head-on decisive battle, and even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory.

The sound of trumpets sounded in the distance, and two cavalrymen rushed out from the left and right sides and surrounded Liang Xiao.

Lie Jiaomi strangled the reins of the horse, narrowed her eyes, looked at the figure in the distance, and her heartbeat was accelerating unconsciously.

This is the closest time he and Liang Xiao have been with each other in such a long time. He has no chance of winning at all when he fights for the first time. Although there are 40,000 elite cavalry around him, Liang Xiao is less than 10,000, but he still feels unsure.

It was not his intention to leave the valley to fight.

He originally wanted to wait for a while to see Liang Xiao’s movements and wait for news from the Huns. However, the Huns had not come for a long time, but waited for Aruikan’s letter.

Aruikan said that because of his delay, the people in Akagu City were panicked, and many people were scared by Liang Xiao and lost confidence in him. If they still couldn't find the opportunity to fight, it would be better to withdraw back to Akagu City and stabilize the situation in Akagu City first.

Aruikan said it very vaguely, but Lie Jiaomi heard the subtext. If he did not join the battle, he would probably lose confidence in him first. The Hunxie tribe has been destroyed, and Aruikan has only been able to rely on. If he also lost confidence in him, Aruikan is very likely to put his last hope on Dongfang Shuo.

Once Dongfang Shuo comes out of the valley and returns to Kucha, Wusun will inevitably be attacked from both sides. And the Qi family surrenders to the enemy, the morale of the Wusun people will undoubtedly be fatal. In order to stabilize Aruikan and prevent her from despair, Liejiaomi can only go out to the valley to fight, and before the Xiongnu reinforcements could see the shadow.

Even after leaving the valley, Lie Jiaomi did not dare to be careless and did not order the entire line to attack. Instead, he first occupied the position at the entrance of the valley and prepared to retreat at any time. Then he sent two thousand cavalry to surround him and see how Liang Xiao in the distance responded.

If he escapes, his undefeated reputation will be discounted.

If he fights, he can only fight with more than a hundred cavalry around him, and the strength comparison will be more than ten times. Once he is entangled, the Wusun people have enough advantages and may even kill Liang Xiao in the face of battle.

Victory seemed to be too easy, and it was easy for Lie Jiaomi to believe his eyes. He stared at Liang Xiao in the distance, fearing that in the blink of an eye, Liang Xiao would disappear, and everything was empty.

The two thousand cavalry gradually accelerated, forming a charge formation, surrounding Liang Xiao's wings. The sound of horse hooves gradually merged into a line, getting closer and closer. The gradually yellowed grass was trampled on by the horse hooves, kicked up and scattered, and the clear river water was muddy by the horse hooves, making a rustling sound.

Liang Xiao stopped moving his horse, but just raised his hand and shook it gently.

In the distance, Ashana raised his sword and issued a command to fight. The Yuezhi cavalry, who had just switched from training to combat mode, lined up while running. One thousand cavalry speeded up, rushed out of the battle formation, and faced the thousand Wusun cavalry on the left side of Liang Xiao.

Further away, Jian Mi also issued a battle order, and a thousand cavalry jumped onto the war horses and rushed towards the Wusun people on the right side of Liang Xiao. Jian Mi himself was in his original position and looked at the battlefield from afar.

Four thousand cavalry approached quickly, but Liang Xiao, who was in the center, did not move, as if a statue was a statue. The knights beside him were also relaxed, and they didn't even mean to line up. They still believed that they were free and as if nothing had happened.

The sound of horse hooves became even more urgent, and both sides accelerated and prepared to face the first collision.

The Wusun cavalry pulled the bow in their hands, took the arrows, and prepared to shoot. Their targets were not only the Yuezhi people who were running, but also Liang Xiao. According to the current route, when they contacted the Yuezhi people, they were less than a hundred steps away from Liang Xiao, and they had a chance to shoot him.

Just as the Wusun people held their breath, pulled their bows, and waited for Songxian, the Yuezhi cavalry came first, cutting into the position first, blocking the Wusun people's charge route. Just as the Wusun people were about to force the collision, the Yuezhi people shot a neat rain of arrows.

Hundreds of feather arrows shot at the Wusun people's vanguard. The dozens of cavalry rushing in front were immediately shot into hedgehogs, and they all fell to the ground. The charge formation was a stagnant. The cavalry behind had no time to turn, so they could only rush over and tripped to the ground by their companions.

This emergencies stunned the Wusun people.

Although they are all riding and shooting, the Yuezhi people's tactics of concentrated attacks on the Wusun vanguards are undoubtedly stronger. To cause such an impact, the Yuezhi people not only need tacit cooperation, but also ignore the attacks of other Wusun people. The Wusun people outside the forwards are not disturbed at all, and they will shoot more arrows, and the Yuezhi people will suffer greater losses than the Wusun people.

The Wusun people let go of the string and shot the arrows in their hands, but did not see the expected scene. The Yuezhi people were hit by many arrows, but few people were caught off guard. Instead, they ran faster, shooting continuously while running, shooting out a rain of arrows.

They were like a scimitar, cutting the Wusun people's forwards and shooting Wusun people in front of the formation.

The Wusun people are like a torrent that hit a dam, stirring up waves and rolling white foam, but they can never cross the dam and rush towards Liang Xiao, who is close to them.
