"General, are we still chasing?" A young knight jumped off his horse and strode towards Li Guang. He was stabbed in the face, cutting the bridge of his nose, and the blood was flowing, but he didn't care, immersed in a strange euphoria.

Li Guang frowned and looked around. "Jin Ji, why are you here?"

"Hahaha......" Jin Ji laughed on his back, with an indescribable pride. General, we haven't left, we're just avoiding you. ”

Li Guang's face became very attractive, and he said sharply: "What about your brother?" What is the matter with him, that he dares to disobey my orders? ”

Jin Ji's face darkened, he turned his head to look away, and was silent for a moment before saying, "My brother died in battle two days ago. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Guang was furious. "I said a long time ago, father and son can't walk together, brothers can't go together, why don't you listen? If your brother dies at the same time, who will take care of your parents at home, even if you have made meritorious service and been crowned marquis, how can you ......?"

Jin Ji craned his neck, and his eyes were bigger than Li Guang. "Isn't the general also a father and son?"

Li Guang was speechless. He picked up his whip and whipped it without a head or face. "Shaft, dare to talk back to me!" He looked vicious, and the horsewhip was whirring, but he was actually a few feet away from Jin Ji. But Jin Ji saw that Li Guang was really angry, but he didn't dare to reply, turned around and fled.

Li Jiao stepped forward and hugged Li Guang. "Ah Weng is angry, his brother has already died in battle, if you kill him again, won't you ruin his family?"

Li Guang turned around, flew up with a kick, and kicked Li Jiao to the ground. "It's a good thing you did, right?" Pick up the whip and whip it.

Li Jiao turned over and got up, lying on the blood-covered grass, and kowtowed again and again. "Ah Weng, if this is not the case, how can we gather three thousand horsemen in just ten days? Ah Weng, I can't help it. ”

The knights next to him rushed over to persuade him. Li Guang twitched a few times. was stopped, and the anger did not subside. "Give me a count of the number of people at once, especially the number of casualties among fathers, sons, and brothers in the army. Just go! ”

"Whoa!" Li Jiao didn't dare to delay and hurried away.

Li Guang looked at the uneasy knights around him and sighed: "You guys...... You don't know what to live or die for. The knights looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh secretly. They looked at the captives. There was a glint of excitement in his eyes again.

It was getting late, and Li Guang ordered to camp next to Hutuze. He worked tirelessly, went to every tent, and counted casualties with Li Jiao.

The results were brilliant, but there were also many losses. Especially today's battles. They encountered the guards of the royal court, fought hard for half a day, although they won the final victory, captured more than 50 Xiongnu nobles, including the Yan clan and the prince, and beheaded more than 3,000 people. However, the number of dead soldiers exceeded 700, and with the accumulated losses before, only half of the 3,000 horsemen were left at the time of the expedition, and all of them were wounded.

Li Guang thought twice and decided to stop advancing. The casualties are too great for him to continue, and if he goes further, once he encounters a strong opponent again. It is likely that the whole army will be wiped out, and all the work done will be lost.

Li Jiao was a little unwilling. "Awn. Isn't it a shame that we stopped moving forward just a thousand miles away? Judging from the situation of the Hutu royal department, the main force of the Huns did march westward. A few more days ahead, perhaps the harvest will be even greater. ”

Li Guang shook his head. "The gains will be greater, but the losses will also be greater. Alone in the depths, there is no backup. It's hard to guarantee results. Moreover, the terrain of Wuwei is dangerous, and if it can be defended, the threat to the Huns is greater than that of several captives. ”

Li Guang said, drawing a sketch on the ground with a short knife. "This is Henan, and this is Hugh Tuze. This is Upper County. Henan is close to Shangjun, and the Huns go south, which can directly threaten Guanzhong, and can also drive into Longxi, which is the elbow and armpit of Guanzhong. Holding this place can form a flanking attack on Henan and prepare for the next step of capturing Henan. ”

Li Jiao nodded again and again. He is a disciple of Longyou, and he is behind the gate, so he knows the general terrain here. He was just a little worried. "Ah Weng, if we stop here, then wouldn't Brother Ah and Liang Xiao fight alone?"

"How could they possibly come here?" Li Guang scoffed. "Boy, if you care, you are messy, and you don't choose what to say. Liang Xiao is far away in Dawan, it is said that it is nearly 10,000 miles away, and it is thousands of miles away from the western end of Hexi, even if he is bold, it is impossible to appear here. ”

Li Jiao scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Although he didn't know how far the Western Regions were, with his understanding of Liang Xiao, it seemed unlikely that he would do such an unreliable thing. Running thousands of miles is already the ultimate adventure, let alone nearly 10,000 miles.

"You immediately go back to Chang'an, report the military situation to the imperial court, and ask the Son of Heaven to arrange for men and horses to meet you as soon as possible. Once the main force of the Huns comes back, we alone will not be able to hold this place. ”

"Whoa." Li Jiao bowed down to receive the order.

――

At the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, where the Qiang water and the weak water meet, Liang Xiao is stationed on the hillside, watching the Yueshi people and Qiang people rushing back and forth all over the mountains, and the Huns are running with wolves, crying for their fathers and mothers, and the corners of their mouths provoke a light smile.

It's a good feeling to have a little brother. If he hadn't encouraged the Yueshi and Qiang people to rob the Huns together, how could he and the hundreds of people of the Pu King get such a big result, maybe he would have become the commander of the light pole.

But now, he doesn't have to do it at all, tens of thousands of Yue people and Qiang people take the initiative to serve. Although it is not an elite, it is better than a large number of people, and the Huns are defeated.

The terrain here is beautiful, and several streams flow down from the South Mountain, merging into a river between the valleys, nourishing the large pastures on both sides. Even the war horses, which had been running for more than a month, had eaten these tender pastures and gradually regained their strength. As for people, not to mention, not only have their injuries basically recovered, but they also have a tendency to get rich.

Liang Xiao felt that this place fully met the requirements of the garrison, if a few thousand could be stationed here and guard the passes everywhere, the Huns would want to enter and leave the Western Regions as if they were free, and cooperate with the Wusun people.

"My lord, let's go down and kill for a while." Xie Guanglong leaned over and pleaded. "I've been idle for too long, and my bones are about to erode away." As he spoke, he patted his thigh again. "Look at my legs, they're getting fat. Look at this horse, it's almost too fat to walk. ”

Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh. In the past half a month, their lives have indeed been too comfortable. There is wine and meat every day, and women accompany them at night, and they are all about to become corrupt elements.

"Don't worry, the tough battle is still to come." Liang Xiao is confident. He is not Xie Guanglong, he just wants to kill a good person, he must think further and pay attention to the overall situation. From the time he left the Pu Sea and attacked the Huns, he had been attacking for a month and a half. No matter how slow the Huns were to react, they should have received the news, and they might have been on their way back to help.

He still has to fight all the way back to Dawan, of course, he has to maintain his physical strength.

"What's the hard fight? Are there many benefits? ”

"Do you think it would be good to fish out Aleusu?"

Xie Guanglong's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's a lot. My lord, we're going to have to slaughter him. As soon as I saw the shaft, I wanted to kill him. ”

"Then stay in peace. If you have fat, exercise more, and don't keep thinking about those women's bellies. Are those women comparable to the beauties of our big man? The eldest husband has no wife, has made meritorious contributions, and has a family. ”

"Haha......" Xie Guanglong scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed dryly. He turned his head, looked at the hillside, and suddenly screamed. "My lord, you see, it seems to be us Han."

Liang Xiao followed his finger and saw a group of people galloping along the weak water, there were about two hundred horses, the most conspicuous was a carriage, a super large carriage, under the service of the knights, pulled by four horses, majestic, unstoppable, galloping all the way.

Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the carriage. The carriage was too familiar to him.

Liang Xiao shook the reins lightly, Mingzhu, who was looking down to gnaw on the grass, raised his head, glanced into the distance, spread his four hooves, and ran down the hillside. Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo saw it, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Why is this scoundrel here?" ”

"Brother Niu'er, who is he?" Sigma asked curiously.

"A shameless reader." Tu Niu'er chased after him while riding his horse, and said through gritted teeth: "It's really ghostly, and I actually chased here." ”

As he spoke, Liang Xiao had already rushed to the carriage. The coachman shook the reins and let out a long cry, and the four horses slowly stopped their steps, and the carriage stopped. Dongfang Shuo pushed the window, poked out his head, and glanced at Liang Xiao. "For the sake of your warm welcome, I won't ask you for money."

Liang Xiaole was happy. "You can open your mouth, you can as much as you want."

"Haha, it looks like you've made a fortune."

"I don't dare to say that I have a lot of money, it's more than enough to support you." Liang Xiao jumped into the carriage and punched Dongfang Shuo hard. "Why are you here?"

"Alas--" Dongfang Shuo, who came down, screamed, fell on his back, and hit the carriage, and the black crown on his head was crooked. Liang Xiao was taken aback and hurriedly helped him up. Dongfang Shuo rubbed his shoulders and scolded: "Lao Tzu ran so far to save you, and you treat me like this?" ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I really didn't mean to." Liang Xiao hurriedly helped Dongfang Shuo up and teased: "Are you staying too idle in Chang'an, so fragile, I don't have the strength to ......?"

"Don't have the strength yet?" Dongfang Shuo's eyes narrowed. "Are you getting stronger again? How many stone bows are used now? ”

"I don't know the specifics, maybe two or three stones." Liang Xiao patted Dongfang Shuo's shoulder as a sign of comfort. "Tell me, what trouble I have, I need to work, your great god has traveled thousands of miles to save me."

"I knew you were stupid." Dongfang Shuo sat up and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the four alphas chasing after him with Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo, and immediately threw Liang Xiao aside. "Yo, these four little beauties are really superb. Liang Xiao, where did you get it, send me two. I'm so angry, you won't be so stingy, right? ”――
