.Nightmare attacks

Liu Xie opened Alexander Severu's letter and browsed it a little, but it turned out that Alexander Severu made a request to accept Sumerir Gortien as his adopted son and handed over the custody rights of Sumerir Gortien to himself.

Liu Xie patted his head and looked at Sumeril Gortien with an expectant expression. He didn't know what to do. Sumeril Gortien was indeed a very popular young man, at the same age as Liu Yi, and it was indeed good to be an adopted son. However, in the Roman Empire and the Western world, adopted sons had inheritance rights. The heirs of Augustus of the Roman Empire were all adopted sons, so there is a lot to be considered.

Once this young man is accepted as his adopted son, in the Western world, the regulatory rights of Babylon should be of this adopted son. In the ancestry consciousness of the Eastern world, only the biological children are qualified to inherit. The gap between the East and the West is here. Alexander Severu may not know about this. Then he made this request, undoubtedly hoping that Sumerir Gortien would inherit the rights he had in the Western world.

Liu Xie soon fell into deep thought. This was a request that was difficult to refuse. At least in such a highly-aligned international relations, it was difficult to refuse to accept the request of his adopted son.

Alexander Severu's request undoubtedly expressed the view that the regulatory rights of Babylon should still be controlled by the Westerners, and what Liu Xie hoped was to be permanently controlled by the Han Empire.

He thought for a while and said to Sumeril Gortien: "This involves the cultural gap between the East and the West. People from the Han Empire do not adopt children, but they generally do not adopt children if they have biological children. However, I can accept you as my adopted son. As my adopted son, you and princes such as Liu Wei and Liu Yi are sworn brothers, and they are righteous brothers!"

Sumeril Gortien smiled and said, "It's good too!"

After hearing the answer from Sameril Gortien, Liu Xie calmed down a little. After reading Alexander Severudi's letter, he found out that Alexander Severu was afraid that Sameril Gortien would not be able to control the Byzantine Empire, so he hoped to rely on Liu Xie's identity as the Great Asia Emperor to provide him with double nominal and military guarantees.

Liu Xie laughed at himself and said to Sumeril Gortien: "Since your guardianship belongs to me before you became an adult, then I will teach you well, and be willing to go to the Han Empire to study as my student and adopted son?"

Sumeril Gortien smiled brightly and said loudly: "That's so much a beautiful thing, I'm naturally very willing!"

Looking at this smart and confident young man, Liu Xie was also very happy and turned to Wang Xi and said, "Go and prepare a set of imperial guards and cavalry armor for him so that he can return to the Han Empire with me tomorrow. When you have time, you will teach him martial arts, but I will not teach you personally. These martial arts you learned in your early years will also be lost!"

Wang Xi smiled and said, "Since he is the emperor's adopted son, he naturally needs to teach some fighting skills!"

Liu Xie heard what he implied was that their Wang family's unique skills were never passed down to foreigners. In the early years of the Han imperial family, Wang Yue taught the martial arts of several princes himself. After Wang Yue was in poor health, the fourth son Liu Zi and the princes were taught by Wang Xi, and there was no private place to hide them. It was only considering that although Sumeril Gortien was his own student, he was a foreigner after all, and the essence of Chinese studies could not be passed down.

Liu Xie nodded slightly. His attitude towards Wang Xi also acknowledged, and said, "Just teach some fighting and battlefield fighting skills, and there is no need to teach others. He is now over the age of learning martial arts. His foundation is insufficient. The best skills are that you want to teach. He can't learn them either."

Liu Xie and Wang Xi had a few simple conversations in Chinese. Without Sumeril Gortien, he could understand a little. He hurriedly said: "I am very smart and strong. I can learn anything!"

Liu Xie laughed happily and said to Sumeril Gortien: "Just let Wang Xi teach you some martial arts from our Han Empire so that you can use it to defend yourself on the battlefield. There is no other intention, so you don't have to be too careful!"

Then he walked to Sumeril Gortien again, stroked his long brown hair, and smiled, "He is a smart child, with a bright future!"

Sumeril Gortien asked curiously: "Entertainment Father, what else do you do at this time?" Wang Xi shouted angrily: "No doubt, you should still be called the Lord!"

Liu Xie waved his hand to stop him and said, "Let him go, the Greeks have Greek habits and customs, and it is time for our great men to modify the etiquette!"

When Wang Xi heard Liu Xie's words, he said nothing. After a moment, he told Sumeril Gortián again: "At the time of the fifteenth day of the throne, the civil rule made Jingzhou the richest place in the world, with eight million people in one state; the martial arts pacified half of the Han Empire and ruled more than 20 million people!"

Liu Xie knew that Wang Xi was a little exaggerated, but after all, it was his own compliment, so he couldn't help but focus on the distance with his eyes recalling the past. He smiled faintly and sighed again: "The past is like smoke and reminiscing again, and he misses him again!"

Looking back and Sumeril Gortien said: "Go back and prepare for your luggage. We will leave Babylon tomorrow and return to the Han Empire. You can go with Liu Yi and Liu Zi among the princes. There are many similarities in your personalities!"

The next day, Liu Xie officially led the 3,000 guard battalions to secretly stand up and return to the Han Dynasty. Tang Rui led the 300 guard battalions to open the way. After receiving the secret letter, the garrisons from all over the country immediately sent troops to protect them. In order to prevent all the Confederate kingdoms from receiving any notice, the entire Babylonian province and the garrisons in various places kept a very low-key disposal. The first release of the Chinese website on the road was posted.

In order to ensure the safety of Liu Xiedi, Sun Ce, as the heir to the Imperial Army Governor General, personally led the guard camp with Wang Xi to return with him. All nightmares were covered with arrows. As for the remaining 6,000 guard camps and 10,000 soldiers from Chongyi Babylon, led by the general Zang Qingdi, he led 6,000 Babylonian horses (today's Arabian horses). Beware of the tens of thousands behind Liu Xie, beware of thousands of thousands of babylonian horses behind Liu Xie.

Liu Xie finally returned home with an arrow. During the first half month, he traveled rapidly and arrived in Datulan City in mid-September. Huangfu Yan, Ma Chao and others led more than 10,000 troops to meet along the way, while Xun You had already received a hundred miles away from Datulan City. Most of the troops changed to Datulan City for three thousand high-end Yili horses. After resting for a few days, he continued to quickly return to Xining County.

When he arrived in Xining County, he had completely entered the protection range of the Imperial Han Army. In order to reach Tianjing City as soon as possible, Liu Xie gave up going to Xijing and Luoyang, but chose to go to the North Line and the Lizhou Line, and directly bypassed the Yellow River and entered Tianjing City from outside the Great Wall.

After a brief rest in Xining County, he started rushing to Wuwei County, Liangzhou at the end of September. After resting in Wuwei County for several days, he rushed to Shengle, Lizhou, and Shengle was the last supply. Liu Xie planned to start on October 6, and after trekking 600 miles on the grassland, he entered Bingzhou directly from Yanmen Pass, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and entered Sili Tianjing City.

After walking all the way, Liu Xie's body finally couldn't hold on. Liu Yi, Liu Zi and Sumeril were young after all. Although they were tired, they recovered after a few days of rest.

However, Liu Xie's health has not improved. Under Huangfu Li's insistence, Liu Xie rested in Shengle for three days and finally took a carriage to Yanmen Pass.

After riding the carriage, the overall speed of advance was greatly reduced. Huangfu Li also sent his eldest son Huangfu Dan to lead 30,000 soldiers from Lizhou to accompany him, and the remaining troops of the personal guard camp and the Chongyi camp also rushed up.

Sun Ce and Wang Xi both wiped their sweat and said to themselves: It’s finally safe!

Just as the two of them were thinking about it, dust and smoke rose up on the northern grassland. Sun Ce looked with his hawk's eyes and found that there were tens of thousands of nomadic cavalry rushing in the distance. Seeing that their formation was not as simple as coming to protect the carriage, he hurriedly reported to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was lying in the carriage, talking about "Theory of Governance" with Liu Yi, Liu Zi and Sumeril. When he heard Sun Cedi's report, he asked: "How many people are there?"

Sun Ce estimated the rough estimate and said, "The more is no more than 50,000, and the less than 20,000, and there is too much dust and smoke. I can't see clearly!"

Liu Xie sneered and said, "Do you want to assassinate me even if you have a small force? You are too underestimating my personal guard camp!"

Wang Xi said: "A hundred miles ahead is Yanmen Pass. The emperor can rush to the guard camp under the protection of the personal guard camp. We will leave the palace behind!"

Liu Xie shook his head and smiled, "Why worry? It's a 100,000 army. How can I let them escape?" He asked Liu Yi again, and Liu Zi and the other two said, "Yi'er, Zi'er, what do you think we should do now?"

Liu Yi replied: "The enemy is numerous and we are few, but our army is well-off, so there is no need to worry. You can defeat the enemy in a formation. The father will be slow when he travels in a car. If he walks in a division of troops, he will easily be ambushed!"

Liu Xie nodded and smiled and said, "Yi'er's judgment is correct. If the enemy can set up an ambush here, first, our army's journey has been exposed and has been noticed, or there are traitors in our army leaking the secrets. Now both are possible. However, no matter what the situation is, the enemy will inevitably set up two ambushes, one forcing me to divide the troops into two groups, and the other is the real danger!"

Liu Yi asked: "Now the Han Dynasty is peaceful, how can there be such a great enemy?"

Liu Xie replied: "I have been out all these years. Perhaps there have been quite a change in the great man. It is too early to make a conclusion now. Only when I return to Tianjing can I know it. However, this is the only dangerous place in the road. If the enemy can expect it, we should not underestimate it. You two have learned how to use troops for many years, but going out to fight against the enemy is also a chance to train you. They just want to be small.

The two were about to get off the car, but Wang Xi reported that there were more than 10,000 nomadic cavalry attacking the south, and now they are close together. It can be judged that they were against the Xianbei people.

Liu Xie frowned and said, "It seems that I am sure I will pass here!"

Liu Zi suddenly sneered: "Father, can you give the right to lead troops to the enemy this time to the sons? Never allow one to escape!"

Liu Xie was a little hesitant. Liu Zi was skilled in martial arts and showed his talent in using military skills when talking about military tactics with him. However, he had never had the opportunity to lead his troops. Now the situation is critical, and I don’t know if he should give him this opportunity.

Liu Yi also said: "The fourth emperor's brother is good at leading the army, so the father can let him lead the army and try his best!"

Liu Xie was still a little worried and asked Liu Zi: "What are you planning to deal with it?"

Liu Zi replied: "In a flat land, there are no forests or mountains and rivers, cavalry is naturally the most powerful. The strong cavalry is mobility. The more good the mobile cavalry is, the more far the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, the more powerful the cavalry is, and the cavalry is fighting each other! How can there be a reason to control the cavalry to charge him!"

"As for the tens of thousands of cavalry in the north, they will hold a nightmare crossbow with their own guard camp and defeat them by their long range. If they cannot be destroyed, they will be transferred to the elite troops of Lizhou to fight, destroy the south first, and then gather troops to return and surround them."

Liu Xie was overjoyed and said, "Zi'er is good at using military skills!"

It was also formally ordered that the power of the commander of this army be handed over to Liu Zi, Sun Ce, Wang Xi, Zang Qing and Huangfu Dan each lead a unit to assist.

After Liu Zi obtained the power to lead the army, he immediately ordered all soldiers to dismount and mow the grass. Fifty thousand soldiers acted quickly, and in a few moments, more than a hundred piles were piled up to cover the figures of the army.

More than thirty piles in the north were not like fire. After the two thieves approached, more than 70 piles in the south were ignited. In an instant, the strong wind roared and roared the smoke toward the south, covering the sky and the sun.

The thief attacking from the south wanted to attack in a roundabout way. Liu Zi immediately asked the three thousand guards to shoot three rounds with the Xiangyang powerful crossbow formation, and then took the nightmare crossbow. Anyone who could see it would shoot one by one.

Huangfu Dan and Wang Xi led 30,000 elite soldiers from Lizhou and 3,000 brigades to attack the thief in the north. The elite soldiers from Lizhou were not as good as other nomadic peoples. In addition, the excellent bows and arrows were excellent, and Wang Xi's personal guards helped him quickly gain the upper hand, suppressing the northern cavalry and preventing them from approaching Liu Xie.

As Liu Zi expected, although the southern rebels suffered heavy losses under the volley of the guard camp, they still rushed over the fire and rushed towards Liu Xie.

Sun Ce immediately led the five thousand soldiers of the Chongyi Battalion to accelerate and charge up a hundred steps, fighting with the thieves, leaving another five thousand around Liu Xie's array.

The ban on Nightmare Crossbow has been opened by Liu Xie. After the enemy appeared, the soldiers of the various guards killed them one by one with Nightmare Crossbow. The Nightmare Crossbow is the strongest cold weapon in the Han Empire. After several improvements, the effective range has been increased to within 85 steps based on the seventy steps of that year. It still maintains twelve consecutive shots, with a long range, strong force, and domineering power. It can be said to be the best in the world.

Ten thousand nightmare crossbows were used at the same time. Although the number of Xianbei rebels was less than 50,000, they could not resist them at all. In a moment, within 300 steps around Liu Xie's carriage, there were dead bodies everywhere and blood flowing into a river, but no one could break through the numerous obstacles and kill Liu Xie's array a hundred steps.

There was a lot of fighting outside the car, but Liu Xie was calm and talked and laughed freely. He discussed Taoist teachings and the active role of Greek native religious beliefs with Samurill.
