Chapter 343: Flowers Fall

Li Danghu was surprised and delighted, and he asked about Dongfang Shuo's situation.

In order to show that the right virtuous king was thirsty for talent, and hoped that Li Danghu would follow in the footsteps of Dongfang Shuo and surrender without a fight, the Xiongnu envoys added oil and vinegar, and greatly exaggerated the treatment of Dongfang Shuo in the Hun camp.

Li Danghu was happy to hear it, Dongfang Shuo is fine, this result is too good. As for the Xiongnu's words that Dongfang Shuo had already worked for the Right Xian King, he scoffed. There were many Han people who worked for the Huns, but Dongfang Shuo was absolutely impossible. Liang Xiao's trust and respect for him is by no means something that King Youxian can give.

In the face of the persuasion of the Huns, Li Danghu sank his face, shouted loudly, picked up his pen, and inscribed a few words behind Dongfang Shuo's letter.

"Although Chen Cang is small, he is a husband. The well is thousands of miles, and the enemy chief is bold. Han Xin is out of the horse and good at fighting. Lao Tzu is here, and he does not accept to fight. ”

Then he ordered someone to blast the Hun envoy out.

The Xiongnu envoy thought that he could persuade Li Danghu and make a great contribution, but the corners of his mouth were full of foam, but he didn't expect Li Danghu to turn his face and blast him out directly, and the anger in his heart can be imagined. Returned to the camp and scolded Li Danghu in front of King Youxian. However, he didn't know that the person he saw was Li Danghu, and thought it was Liang Xiao. Therefore, Liang Xiaochang and Liang Xiaoxiao scolded loudly, and tried their best to encourage the Right Xian King to attack immediately.

Seeing the handwriting on the back of the letter, Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a while. This kind of vulgar rhetoric is indeed a bit like Liang Xiao, but the handwriting is by no means written by Liang Xiao himself. He asked again and again, and the Xiongnu envoy swore that he had seen "Liang Xiao" write it with his own eyes. After listening to the envoy's account, Dongfang Shuo understood.

"Mr. Dongfang, what does this mean?" King Youxian asked. He was surrounded by people who could read Chinese characters. But there are a couple of allusions mentioned here. The translator didn't understand it.

"It's actually quite simple. Liang Xiao compares himself to Han Xin, and wants to fight with you. Dongfang Shuo said lightly: "Do you know Han Xin? ”

King Youxian nodded hurriedly. Han Xin was a famous Han general, and he had heard of it. "And what do the first two sentences mean?"

"Those are Han Shin's most famous achievements." Dongfang Shuo set up a dragon gate array, told Han Xin's story roughly, and compared Liang Xiao's record, Suye City is Chen Cang, and the attack on Qilian Mountain is the Battle of Jingcheng. The Right Virtuous King was fascinated by what he heard and was addicted to.

"What happened to Han Shin?"

"Uh-" Dongfang Shuo was speechless for a moment. It's really not easy to say. Han Shin's fate was really not good.

"Hahaha......" King Youxian glanced at Dongfang Shuo proudly. Mr. does not say. I also know that Han Xin later rebelled and was exterminated. What's the use of Liang Xiao being good at fighting no matter how good he is, he is not afraid of high merit and shocking the master, and in the end he will end up like Han Xin? ”

Dongfang Shuo was depressed. It's a shame to throw it at my grandmother's house.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo eating deflated, King Youxian was very happy. He laughed for a while and patted Dongfang Shuo's hand seriously. "It's better to serve my Huns, you, like Liang Xiao, are real wise men and heroes. However, your emperor is crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. A scoundrel who turned his face and didn't recognize people, and worked hard for him. You're not going to end well. Why don't you come to my Huns, be free, how good? ”

Dongfang Shuo snorted and sneered. "When you recapture Daban and capture Liang Xiao, I will persuade him to work for you together. Before that, you should think about your own glory and wealth. The expedition to the west was futile, and Shan Yu's messenger may already be on the way. ”

King Youxian's face froze, and he looked at Dongfang Shuo for a while, and then laughed proudly. "Mr. Dongfang, you were right by me, right?"

Dongfang Shuo was annoyed and ashamed, and walked away. Leaving the tent and glancing at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he sighed to himself and muttered something in his heart.

"I hope you can succeed like Han Xin, and I hope you don't succeed like Han Xin."

——

Liang Xiao trudged through a valley full of snow and ice.

Although he made careful preparations and had enough psychological preparation, the difficulty of the journey was still beyond his imagination.

The cold wind was howling and the snow was covering the mountains. The deep valley, the trail that can only be crossed sideways, hides danger everywhere. Along the way, there were eleven soldiers who fell to their deaths, and countless people suffered frostbite. Trekking in knee-deep snow, tired and sweaty, when the wind blew, it turned into ice again, freezing people to the bone.

"Hold on, hold on." Liang Xiao gasped, a cloud of mist came out of his mouth, stuck to his lips, and was frozen into frost, the faint beard at the corner of his mouth had been frozen, and his eyebrows were also full of ice beads. His face was frozen, unconscious, and he couldn't even speak well.

"Master, I...... I can't walk anymore. Sigma's legs went limp, and she sat down in the snow, her face pale. I...... I'm going to take a break. ”

"Can't rest here." Liang Xiao stretched out his hand to pull Sigma up, ripped off her bag and bow, threw it to Pang Shuo, bent down and carried her on his back, and greeted anxiously: "Sigma, you can't sleep, you can't sleep, you don't hear me." ”

Thea also rushed over, panting and said, "Sigma, you can't sleep." ”

"I ...... I'm so tired. Sigma said vaguely, her eyes not even staring.

"Go, go." Liang Xiao was in a hurry. He had already seen several people who were so tired that they just wanted to take a nap were frozen to death. Of the four sisters, his favorite was Sigma. Not only is she the youngest, but she is also the most spiritual. So many people practiced shooting at him, but Sigma had his shadow in him. She was not only his closest maid, but also his sister. If she froze to death in this mountain, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

He carried the Sigma on his back, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and kept talking to the Sigma. "Sigma, listen to me, we're about to arrive, and we're going to succeed right away, you know? After this battle, we will go back to Dawan, and then I will take you to Chang'an. Didn't you always want to go to Chang'an......"

"Good...... Warm...... and ......" Sigma muttered with an eerie smile on her face.

"Master, master......" Thea was startled and cried out. Sigma she ......"

Liang Xiao hurriedly stopped and put down the Sigma. When I saw the smile on Sigma's face, my heart suddenly chuckled. This is a symptom of hypothermia and hallucinations, and Sigma has stepped into the ghost gate with one foot. He didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered to rest on the spot and let the cooking soldiers make a fire to cook soup.

At the sound of the order, all the soldiers stopped their tired footsteps and found a place to rest. But the cooks were not allowed to rest, but went around collecting dry wood, lighting fires and boiling water, and preparing a hot meal for the hungry and cold soldiers.

Liang Xiao found a leeward hiding place and took off Sigma's clothes. The clothes inside were soaked and frozen into ice. Liang Xiao almost smashed his clothes with brute force. Sigma's body was pale and a little blue, but her face was a faint pink. She closed her eyes and remained motionless, letting Liang Xiao and Xia fiddle.

Liang Xiao and Xia rubbed Sigma's body violently with snow, rubbing her skin red, and then hugged her in his arms, and then wrapped her in layers of battle robes and big clouds. Sigma's body was like a piece of ice, cold to Liang Xiao's heart.

"Bring me two tsamba."

Xia Ya answered, and hurriedly took two tsamba, Liang Xiao broke off a piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously. When Xia saw it, she also broke a piece, threw it into her mouth, chewed it vigorously, and chewed it until she chewed it into mince, and then stuffed it into Sigma's mouth mouth-to-mouth.

Sigma's eyes were closed and motionless, and the smile on her face froze.

Thea's tears rushed out. She called out repeatedly. "Sigma, Sigma, wake up, wake up, wake up......"

Liang Xiao hugged Sigma tightly, feeling the body in his arms getting colder and colder, and his heart getting colder and colder. He hugged Sigma, tears welled up in his eyes, and his heart felt like someone had slashed his heart.

——

King Youxian did not rush to attack. At the moment, he is safe to win, and he has enough time to be patient with Liang Xiaobi.

While ordering people to build siege equipment, he constantly sent people to persuade him to surrender. When the weather was bad, he would gather in the tent and drink, and when the weather was good, he would hold competitions outside the camp. Horse running, archery, wrestling, sheep tricking, and having a good time.

Li Danghu did not show weakness. He set up a ring in the urn city, organized a competition among the soldiers, and the winner received a prize, or a glass of wine, or a small sum of money, or a beautiful woman's spring supper. Corner, over-distance (long jump), heads-up, team fighting, the tricks are no less than the Huns outside the city, and the cheers have been transmitted to the camp of the Huns outside the city.

Among them, the most popular is undoubtedly Kemari.

Kemari, also known as Kemari, is a very popular sport sewn from leather stuffed with something like grass or wool, which can be used in a dedicated venue or in the streets. In the Han army, Keju was used as one of the means to train the physical fitness and flexibility of soldiers, and Li Danghu and others all knew about it and had a lot of fun.

Keju is a team sport, and it requires a lot of cooperation with each other, and no matter how strong an individual is, if you don't know how to cooperate, it is difficult to win. Li Danghu used this method to take turns to fight in the army, and constantly strengthened the cooperation between them.

Half a month later, King Youxian prepared siege equipment, and saw that "Liang Xiao" had no intention of surrendering, so he had to launch an attack. He did not send the Huns into battle, but took small countries such as Yuli and Weisu to test the truth first. King Yuli and King Weisu stood outside the city, shouting loudly to their people, trying to shake the hearts of the troops in the city, but they got bursts of laughter.

There were not many soldiers from Yu Li and Wei Su Kingdom, and they were all taken away by Liang Xiao, and there was no one in the city at the moment. When the soldiers of the other tribes saw them behave like this, they could not help but laugh at them.

In desperation, King Yuli and King Weisu had no choice but to attack hard-
