Chapter 343
Li Danghu was both surprised and happy, and he asked about Dongfang Shuo's situation.∽↗,
In order to show that the Right Sage King was eager to seek talent, he hoped that Li Danghu would follow Dongfang Shuo's footsteps and surrender without fighting. The envoys of the Huns added fuel to the fire and greatly exaggerated Dongfang Shuo's treatment in the Huns camp.
Li Danghu was happy to hear that Dongfang Shuo was fine, and the result was too good. As for the Huns saying that Dongfang Shuo had already served the Right Xian King, he sneered. The Han people served many of the Huns, but Dongfang Shuo could never have. Liang Xiao’s trust and respect for him were definitely not something that the Right Xian King could give him.
Faced with the Huns' persuasion to surrender, Li Danghuo lowered his face, shouted sternly, picked up his pen, and wrote a few words behind Dongfang Shuo's letter.
"Although Chen Cang is young, he is a man in the pass. When Jingxing is thousands of miles away, the enemy chief is brave. Han Xin takes the opportunity to fight and is good at fighting. I am here, but I don't accept it and come to fight."
Then he ordered people to bombard the Hun envoys.
The Hun envoy thought he could convince Li Danghu and make a great contribution, but he said so much that his mouth was full of foam. Unexpectedly, Li Danghu turned his face and directly knocked him out. He was imaginary. He returned to the camp and cursed Li Danghu in front of the Youxian King. However, he did not know that the person he saw was Li Danghu, and he thought it was Liang Xiao. Therefore, Liang Xiaochang and Liang Xiao cursed him shortly, and tried his best to encourage the Youxian King to attack immediately.
Seeing the handwriting behind the letter, Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a while. This vulgar words did look a bit like Liang Xiao, but the handwriting was definitely not written by Liang Xiao. He asked again and again that the Hun envoy swears that he saw "Liang Xiao" with his own eyes. After listening to the envoy's narration, Dongfang Shuo understood.
"Mr. Dongfang, what does this mean?" asked the Right King. There were people around him who could read Chinese characters. But there were a few allusions mentioned here. The translator didn't understand them halfway.
"Actually, it's very simple. Liang Xiao compared himself to Han Xin and wanted to fight you." Dongfang Shuo said lightly: "Do you know Han Xin?"
The Youxian King nodded quickly. Han Xin was a famous Han general, and he had heard of it. "What do these first two sentences mean?"
"That's all Han Xin's most famous record." Dongfang Shuo set up the Dragon Gate Formation, roughly told Han Xin's story, and compared Liang Xiao's record, Su Ye City was Chen Cang, and the battle of Jingxing was the battle of attacking Qilian Mountains. The Right Xian King was fascinated by hearing this and exclaimed.
"How did Han Xin happen to him later?"
"Uh" Dongfang Shuo was speechless for a while. This is really not easy to say. Han Xin's end is really not very good.
"Hahaha..." The King of Youxian glanced at Dongfang Shuo proudly. "Sir, don't say it. I also know that Han Xin later rebelled and was exterminated. What's the use of Liang Xiao's ability to fight invincible? Isn't you afraid that his master will be shocked and that he will end up like Han Xin?"
Dongfang Shuo was very depressed. This was embarrassing to his grandma's house.
Seeing Dongfang Shuo being defeated, the Right Xian King was very happy. He smiled for a while and patted Dongfang Shuo's hand earnestly. "Let's serve me, the Huns. Like Liang Xiao, you are a real wise man and hero. However, your emperors are all rogues who cross the river and turn against each other. They work hard for him. You will not have a good result. Why not be free and free?"
Dongfang Shuo snorted and retorted. "When you take back Daban and catch Liang Xiao, I will advise him to serve you together. Before that, you should consider your own glory and wealth first. The Western Expedition was ineffective, and the messenger of the Shanyu might have been on the way."
The Your Xian King's face froze. After looking at Dongfang Shuo for a while, he laughed proudly again. "Mr. Dongfang, you were right?"
Dongfang Shuo was so angry that he left. He walked out of the tent and glanced at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. He sighed secretly and muttered in his heart.
"I hope you can succeed like Han Xin, and I hope you don't be as powerful as Han Xin."
Liang Xiao treks hard in the snow-covered valley.
Although he had made careful preparations and had enough mental preparations, the difficulty of the journey was beyond his imagination.
The cold wind whistled and snow filled the mountains. In the deep valley, the path that could only pass sideways was hidden everywhere. Along the way, there were eleven soldiers who died of falling and falling, and countless people were frostbite. Walking in the knee-deep snow, I was so tired that I was sweating all over. When the wind blew, it turned into ice again, which made people feel cold.
"Stand up, hold on." Liang Xiao was panting, and a cloud of mist emerged from his mouth, touching his lips, and it was frozen into frost. The faint beard on the corner of his mouth had been frozen, and his eyebrows were covered with ice beads. His face was frozen, lost consciousness, and he couldn't even speak very easily.
"Master, I...I can't walk anymore." Sigma's legs became weak, and she sat down in the snow, her face pale. "I...I want to rest for a while."
"You can't rest here." Liang Xiao reached out and pulled Xigma up, pulled off her bag and bow arrow, threw it to Pang Shuo, bent down and carried her on her back, and greeted anxiously: "Xigma, you can't sleep, you can't sleep, you can't hear it."
Xiya also rushed over and said breathlessly: "Sigma, you can't sleep."
"I...I'm too tired." Shigma said vaguely, unable to even open his eyes.
"Let's go." Liang Xiao was anxious. He had seen several people who were extremely tired and wanted to take a nap and were frozen to death. Among the four sisters, his favorite was Sigma. She was not only the youngest, childish, but also the most spiritual. So many people were shooting at him, but only Sigma had his shadow. She was not only his closest maid, but also his sister. If she was frozen to death in this mountain, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He carried Sigma on his back, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, constantly talking to Sigma. "Shigma, listen to me, we will arrive soon and be successful soon, do you know? After the war is over, we will go back to Dayuan, and then I will take you to Chang'an. Haven't you always wanted to go to Chang'an..."
"So... warm... and..." Sigma's face showed a strange smile and muttered to herself.
"Master, Master..." Xiya was shocked and shouted in a crying voice. "Shigma..."
Liang Xiao quickly stopped and put down Shigma. When he saw the smile on Shigma's face, his heart suddenly stumbled. This was a symptom of hypothermia, and Shigma had already stepped into the gate of hell with one foot. He didn't have time to think too much, and immediately ordered a rest on the spot and let the cooks make a fire and cook soup.
With a command, all the soldiers stopped tired and looked for a place to rest. However, the cooks were not allowed to rest. They collected dry firewood everywhere, made fire and boiled water, and prepared a hot meal for the hungry and cold soldiers.
Liang Xiao found a hidden place to hide from the leeward and took off the clothes on Sigma. The clothes inside were soaked and frozen into ice. Liang Xiao almost smashed the clothes with brute force. Sigma's body was pale and a little blue, but a faint pink color appeared on her face. She closed her eyes, motionless, and allowed Liang Xiao and Xiya to fiddle with them.
Liang Xiao and Xiya together, wiped Xigma's body with snow, rubbed her skin red, then hugged her close to her arms, and then wrapped it with a battle robe and a cloak layer by layer. Xigma's body was like a piece of ice, and it was cold to Liang Xiao's heart.
"Get two tsampa quickly."
Xiya responded and quickly took two tsampa. Liang Xiao broke off one piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it hard. When Xiya saw it, she broke it up and threw it into her mouth, chewing it hard, and chewing the tsampa into minced it, then she stuffed it into Xigma's mouth from mouth to mouth.
Sigma's eyes were closed and motionless, and the smile on her face gradually solidified.
Xiya's tears came out in a hurry. She kept calling. "Sigma, Xigma, wake up, wake up..."
Liang Xiao hugged Sigma tightly, feeling the body in his arms getting colder and colder, and his heart also getting colder. He hugged Sigma and tears burst out from his eyes. His heart seemed to be cut by someone, which hurt his heart.
The Right Xian King was not in a hurry to attack. At present, he had the confidence to win and had enough time to be patient with Liang Xiao.
While he ordered people to build siege equipment, he kept sending people to persuade him to surrender. When the weather was bad, he would gather in the tent to drink. When the weather was good, he would hold competitions outside the camp. Horse racing, archery, wrestling, and sheep were having fun.
Li Danghu was not showing any weakness. He set up a stage in the urn city and organized the soldiers to compete. The winner was awarded, either a glass of wine, a small amount of money, or a beautiful woman overnight. The corners were reached, the distance was beyond the distance (long jump), the one-on-one battle, the team battles were not less than the Huns outside the city, and the cheers continued to reach the camp of the Huns outside the city.
Among them, the most popular one is undoubtedly Cuju.
Cuju, also known as stitching Ju, is sewn with leather and stuffed with grass or wool. It can have a dedicated venue or can be found in the streets and alleys. It is a very popular sport. In the Han army, Cuju is one of the means to train soldiers' physical fitness and flexibility. Li Danghu and others are all familiar with it and have a lot of fun.
Cuju is a team sport, and it has high requirements for mutual cooperation. No matter how strong an individual is, it is difficult to win if he does not know how to cooperate. Li Danghu uses this method, taking turns to fight, and constantly strengthening their cooperation.
Half a month later, the Right Xian King prepared the siege equipment. Seeing that "Liang Xiao" had no intention of surrender, he had to launch an attack. Instead, he did not send the Huns to fight, but took Yuli and Weixu to wait for the small country to test the truth first. King Yuli and Weixu stood outside the city and shouted loudly to their troops, wanting to shake the morale of the army in the city, but what he got was bursts of laughter.
Yuli, there were not many soldiers from Weixu Kingdom, and they were all taken away by Liang Xiao, and there was no one in the city at present. The soldiers from other tribes must laugh at them when they saw them doing this.
In desperation, King Yuli and King Weixu had to bite the bullet and launch an attack.-
