More than a hundred miles from the Great Lakes, in a hidden nameless valley, Liang Xiao stood behind the bushes, raised his eyes again, observed the grassland on the east side, and then turned around and looked at the grassland on all sides.●⌒,

The grassland is peaceful and quiet, and you can't even see a bird.

Liang Xiao sighed, put away Qianli's eyes, picked up the water bag from Tu Niuer's hand, took a sip of water, held it in his mouth for a moment, and swallowed it slowly. "What are the gossips of the soldiers in the army?"

Tu Niuer quipped for a while. "Of course there is."

Liang Xiao tilted his mouth. "What about you, what do you think?"

Tu Niuer scratched his head. "I can't figure it out either. However, I believe you won't suffer any losses. You must be holding on to something."

Liang Xiao glared at Tu Niu'er, stuffed the water bag into his arms, and stopped talking.

After walking for more than a hundred miles with Li Guang, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was inappropriate. It was not safe to leave Cheng Buzhi alone to face the Xiongnu Khan. Li Guang's plan was to quickly defeat the Loufan King's army, and then concentrate his troops to confront the Xiongnu Khan. However, not to mention the infantry of Han Anguo's army, even cavalry equipped with three horses would travel back and forth for more than a thousand miles in a few days, his physical strength would inevitably be consumed.

At that time, can we still compete with the main force led by the Xiongnu Shanyu? If we lose, the consequences will be unimaginable. If the cavalry confronts, once the war is defeated and chased by the Xiongnu cavalry, it will be a disaster.

So Liang Xiao found Li Guang and analyzed repeatedly, hoping to lead three thousand elite cavalry to stay and be ready to pick up Cheng Wushi at any time. When necessary, he could also provide early warning for Li Guang.

Li Guang agreed. On the one hand, Liang Xiao's prudence was not unreasonable, and on the other hand, the three thousand cavalry left behind had no decisive influence on him. Without Liang Xiao, a young rival, the other generals could give more credit.

Therefore, Liang Xiao stayed here now, not because he was holding on to something, but because of a strong sense of crisis.

Although there were three generals in front of this battle, he was the real initiator. In history, the first battle of the Han and the Hungarians was a futile ambush, and the Han army was a few years behind when they took the initiative. The four generals each led ten thousand cavalry to attack, and in the end, only Wei Qing achieved the record of beheading hundreds of people. Now, because of his appearance, the Han army dispatched 100,000 infantry and cavalry in the first battle.

He became famous in one battle. Behind his youthful wealth and glory, I don’t know how much jealousy he has won for himself. In addition, he fought with Prime Minister Tian Fu for his wife, and he offended people all over the court and the country. Once he failed, countless people were involved in the fall. Therefore, this battle cannot be defeated. Not only can he not be defeated, but he must also be remarkable. In this way, the emperor can have face. Only when the emperor has face can he live a prosperous life.

However, when the Xiongnu Khan arrived, all this could be gone. How could he not be nervous? How could he be like Li Guang and other soldiers, thinking about stealing the heads.

He was receiving the salary of the general and was in the commander's heart.

Liang Xiao raised his eyes again. "Tell your brothers. Have a rest assured, when they chop off their heads."

Tu Niuer responded and gave a wink to the guards around him. The guards turned around and left to convey the military order. He did not see it, and Liang Xiao's eyes jumped inadvertently, revealing a little uneasy.

A dozen fast horses appeared on the horizon and approached quickly.

Liang Xiao lowered his eyes and waved his hand at Pang Shuo. Pang Shuo understood and rushed down the hillside with a few mercenaries, blocking the knights.

Seeing that it was Pang Shuo and the knights were surprised and happy, they followed Pang Shuo up the mountain, and one of them came to Liang Xiao. Before Liang Xiao could ask questions, he fell to the ground. "Liang Junhou and the Xiongnu Shanyu are here."

Liang Xiao felt a chill on the back of his head. The Xiongnu Khan came even more than they expected. It seemed that he had met the Aries King. Knowing that the situation in Henan was tight, he rushed to help.

Liang Xiaoqiang calmed down. "How many people are there?"

"The specific number is not clear, at least 30,000 cavalry." The knight said hoarsely. "They came very quickly. General Cheng was worried that they would divide their troops to help Loufan King, so let us notify General Li and let him be careful."

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes and his scalp became numb. Cheng Buzhi was worried like him. If the Huns chose to ignore Cheng Buzhi and instead rushed to help King Loufan, both Li Guang and Han Anguo would face great pressure, and it might even be a catastrophe. The elite of the King's royal court of the Huns' Shanyu was not the King of Aries, and King Loufan's subordinates were comparable to their combat power.

No matter what, we must hold them back and buy time for Li Guang and Han Anguo.

"You should just follow the old plan and inform General Li. Be careful, you may encounter the Huns' defeated soldiers at any time."

The Knight nodded repeatedly and turned around.

Liang Xiao thought for a long time and found Xie Guanglong. "Thank you for a hard time and take a few brothers who are familiar with the environment to go deep into the grassland to find out the real strength of the Shanyu, especially to find out whether there are other reinforcements."

"Here." Xie Guanglong responded excitedly.

"Take this with you." Liang Xiao took out his eyes and stuffed them into Xie Guanglong's hand. He patted him reluctantly. " Stay away from the Huns, don't be greedy for merit. Your wealth is waiting for you, and you can save your life and return home in glory."

Xie Guanglong laughed. "Don't worry, I've been coming and going on the grassland for so many times. No one knows better how to play hide-and-seek with the Huns than me. If the Duke is worried, send two archers to me."

Liang Xiao agreed and sent Firefox and another mercenary archer to accompany Xie Guanglong. Their mission was very simple, which was to provide long-range strike support to Xie Guanglong when an encounter occurred.

The relationship is of great importance, Xie Guanglong dared not neglect and set off immediately.

Liang Xiao immediately sent someone to inform Cheng Buzhi that he was a hundred miles away and could rush to help at any time, so that Cheng Buzhi would not be too nervous and thought he was isolated and helpless, so he made a wrong judgment.

In the camp, Cheng Bushi stood on the top of a big cart, holding his eyes wide open, looking at the dark crowd in the sky, and a bitterness surged in his heart.

After finally earning some military merits, I am afraid I will be thrown here this time. The Huns are strong and powerful, and they come suddenly. Even if Li Guang and Han Anguo have defeated King Loufan, they have no time to rush to help.

Maybe it would be better if it didn't come. The Han army has been on the battlefield for nearly half a month, with consecutive battles, with nearly 30% casualties, and has become a tired army. Facing the main force of the Huns who had just entered the battlefield, they have no advantage.

What should I do? Cheng Bushi repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and was in a dilemma.

Due to military orders, the soldiers in the army performed their duties and were ready for battle. However, Cheng Bushi knew that they were very nervous now when they suddenly faced a great enemy. They were just afraid of military law and did not disperse. When the two sides fought, casualties increased, and no one knew when they would be defeated by fear.

At this moment, Liang Xiao's messenger arrived.

When Cheng Buzhi learned that Liang Xiao was a hundred miles away, he was inexplicably relieved. Although three thousand cavalry were insignificant compared to the continuous arrival of the Huns, the person who commanded them was Liang Xiao, which added some confidence to Cheng Buzhi.

Liang Xiao was the one who created a miracle of rushing thousands of miles, defeating the main force of the Huns twice in succession with fewer and defeating the main force of the Huns. More importantly, he did not follow Li Guangdong, which shows that the current situation was long as he expected.

Cheng Buzhi thought for a moment and summoned the generals to discuss matters. In front of the frightened and uneasy generals, Cheng Buzhi conveyed Liang Xiao’s military newspaper.

When they learned that they were not isolated and helpless, Liang Xiao was just a hundred miles away and arrived in an instant, and the generals were obviously relieved. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Buzhi smiled and said, "You guys, this is God's gift to us. I am old, and I will be out of my arms and returning to the field after a few more years. But you are still young. If you show your power and reputation this time, you may have the opportunity to fight side by side with Liang Boming."

The generals laughed, which not only relieved some pressure but also made them more heroic. Why can't Liang Xiao become famous at a young age?

After arousing the fighting spirit of the generals, Cheng Bushi struck while the iron was hot, arranged tasks, and prepared to fight with the Huns.

Junchen Shanyu sat upright on the horse's back and looked at the Han army camp in the distance, frowned.

King Aries rode a green horse, shrank his body, looked haggard, his eyes full of blood. He was careless for a moment and was defeated by the Han army, and more than half of the 30,000 cavalrymen were lost. The abundant Hetao ranch was taken away by Li Guang and Liang Xiao. Now he is a stray dog. If he hadn't met Shanyu halfway, he really wouldn't know where he could go.

Despite this, he was still ruthlessly ridiculed. The Huns believed in the strong, and without strength, they would lose their dignity.

"That's Cheng Bushi?" Shanyu pointed at the flying flag in the distance with his horse whip, curled his lips without hiding the contempt in his tone.

"Yes, he is Cheng Bushi." King Aries swallowed with difficulty.

"Cheng Buzhi is not Li Guang, so what's there to be afraid of?" A little Wang said indifferently: "You can't even break his position, no wonder you were beaten by the Han people to make your nose and eyes swollen."

"He stands up with the water on his back, what can I do?" King Aries said unconvincedly.

Shanyu glanced at the Aries King. "Now he is standing up with a backdrop. Can you break through his camp?"

The Aries King hesitated for a moment. He knew that the Shanyu was giving him a chance. If he could not prove his courage, he would not deserve to own this pasture and could only give it to others. The water and grass of Hetao were lush, so he could not save himself from giving up this treasure land.

He gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. He still had more than 10,000 cavalry, with the support of the Shanyu, and had the opportunity to break through Cheng Bushi's camp. As long as he made contributions and obtained the spoils, he could still regain his strength. Besides, he himself was not convinced, thinking that he was just careless for a moment, not that he was not weak enough. If he was given another chance, he would definitely be able to avenge his previous shame.

"Okay, I'll give you another chance. If you can't prove your courage, give it to others."

"Thank you, Shanyu." The Aries King stroked his chest and bowed, and brought the guards back to his team. Shanyu looked back at the others and asked again: "Is there any news about Li Guang and Liang Xiao?"

"No." Prince Yu Dan said loudly: "Within thirty miles, I didn't see any other Han army. I should have gone to pick up the King Loufan's retreat."

Shanyu frowned. "Please come."—
