Arikan hurried away, and Dongfang Shuo looked at Hunt Jiao with a smile. "Kunmo must have thought I couldn't come to Akaya Castle again, so he removed my chair, right?"

Hunting arrogance is bitter in his mouth. He really thought that Dongfang Shuo would never come to Akita City again, so he ordered someone to smash the big chair, but he didn't expect Arekan to disobey his order and quietly leave the chair behind. He knew that Arekan was interested in Dongfang Shuo, and because of this, he saw that the chair was particularly unpleasant. But now, knowing that Arekan didn't destroy the chair, he was more glad.

Otherwise, for a moment, where would he go to find this particular chair?

"Sir, where is this, Akiti Castle will always have a seat for Mr. The gentleman never came, and I was sad when I saw the chair, so I ordered someone to put it away. "Hunting arrogance with a smiling face." Mr., Liang Xiao...... When is coming? ”

"He went straight to Nanshan." Dongfang Shuo said casually: "I came today because I wanted to ask Kunmo for help. ”

"Sir, please say, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

"Liang Xiao said, the bow in the hand of the Heavenly Wolf may be the earth bow of the three bows of the Yue Clan that you got, is there such a thing? What's going on with the three bows of the Moon Clan, can Kunmo solve my doubts? ”

Hunting arrogantly, his eyes wandered, and he squeaked silently. At this time, Arekan walked over with four guards, carrying Dongfang Shuo's big chair, exchanged a look with Hunter Jiaomi, and said with a smile: "Sir, are you going to talk here, or go up to the rooftop to see the snow?" ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at the hunt and said with a smile: "I see that Kunmo is sweaty, I'm afraid it's a little hot." Let's go to the rooftop, where it is cool, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains, and you can calm your mind, so as not to be upset and make bad decisions. ”

Arikan heard Dongfang Shuo's words, turned around and motioned for the guards to carry the chair to the rooftop, and said to Hunter Jiaomi: "In that case, Kunmo, you accompany Mr. to the rooftop, and I will arrange some banquets first." Mr. has not come for a long time, and today he will not return drunk. After you have talked about state affairs, I still have some small things to ask my husband for. ”

Hunting's arrogant face was blue and red for a while, but he didn't dare to show it. He turned and invited. "Sir, please."

Dongfang Shuo waved his hand. "It's better for Kunmo to go first, it's convenient to talk this way."

Hunting Jiaomi smiled bitterly, so he had to walk in front, and Dongfang Shuo followed behind. I couldn't see anything when I was leveling the ground, but when I walked up the steps, it immediately showed its effect. Hunting arrogance is two steps high, just about the same height as Dongfang Shuo, but he has to lean sideways when he speaks, which is very uncomfortable. But compared to Dongfang Shuo walking in front, he could only see Dongfang Shuo's ass when he raised his head, which was already good.

"Sir, when Liang Xiao came back, did he bring any new news?"

"Yes. Last year, our Han army went out of the fortress in two ways and beheaded 100,000. King Youxian was beaten by General Li's 10,000 elite horsemen and returned in embarrassment. ”

Hunting Jiaomi's face changed. He knew about the mutiny of King Youxian, but he didn't know that the Han army only dispatched 10,000 elite horsemen. This is a bit exaggerated, the Han army is strong, but when did the cavalry become so strong, it was able to win more with less and hit the Huns hard.

"Is it General Li, who is known as General Fei?"

"It's him, he's still Li Danghu's father, you don't know, right?"

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it." Hunting arrogance beats the drum in his heart. Although he has never fought with Li Danghu, he is very jealous of Li Danghu. In that year, King Youxian invaded the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and slaughtered Qiuzi, but in the end he was blocked by Li Danghu in Daban, and he could not advance or retreat. Wudan is known as the wolf and made a comeback, he wanted to respond to Wudan, but Li Danghu was unmoved and stuck to Jiaohe City, he asked himself if he was sure to take Jiaohe City, so he didn't do it.

If it weren't for Li Danghu being firmly nailed to Jiaohe City like a nail, why would he put Dongfang Shuo in his eyes.

"Anything else?"

"Of course, Pingyang Hou Cao Shi led 40,000 foot horses, swept through Hexi, and now the Qiang people bowed their heads, and my Han soldiers reached Xingxing Gorge, expanding the land for thousands of miles, and newly established three counties, named Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye. By the way, you should know the Dunhuang Taishou, he is Guo Wenbin, who accompanied Liang Xiao as an envoy. ”

Hunting Jiaomi, where do you remember Guo Wenbin, but the Han army controls Hexi and sets up a county in Hexi, which is by no means good news for him. In this way, the Han army is close to him, and if necessary, they will kill him at any time. If Li Danghu and Li Shuyun are just a thorn, then these Han soldiers are a knife hanging over his head.

10,000 Han troops can beat the right Xian King, what is Wusun?

The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and his legs were a little disobedient. Dongfang Shuo saw it and stretched out his hand to support him. "Kun Mo, you have to be steady, this step is wrong, but something big will happen, maybe you will lose your life."

How can you not hear Dongfang Shuo's threat. He smiled wryly and pushed away Dongfang Shuo's hand, held on to the railing, and barely stood firm. "Thank you sir for reminding me, I should be slow, and it is easy to make mistakes if I am in a hurry."

The two came to the rooftop, but Arekan had not yet arrived. They stood side by side by the railing, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, speechless for a while. The mountain breeze is cool and chilly to the bone. Hunting arrogantly involuntarily wrapped the big coat on his body, and his eyes were melancholy.

Of course, he won't accept Dongfang Shuo's words in full, he will send someone to verify. But he also knew that Dongfang Shuo hadn't shown up for more than a year, and when he suddenly came again, he must have relied on. Not to mention anything else, Liang Xiao is an opponent that cannot be ignored. When he first came to the Western Regions, he only had ten horsemen. This time, it will not be less than last time.

Wudan, I hope you can defeat him.

Arekan rushed over with the guards, invited Hunter Jiaomi and Dongfang Shuo to take a seat, and put wine and meat on the table. They talked and talked, Dongfang Shuo was very talkative, drinking wine and eating meat, while talking about the achievements of the Han Dynasty in recent years, listening to the arrogance and arrogance of the hunt, and Arikan was terrified. Most of them have heard some of these things, but they are not specific enough, and now they listen to Dongfang Shuo's original words, only to know that the Han army has made such great achievements in just a few years.

"Did the emperor of the Han Dynasty intend to use troops against the Tianshan Mountains?"

"No, it's too far away, and there's not much land to cultivate, a big desert, it's not interesting." Dongfang Shuo put down his chopsticks, picked up an animal bone, and picked his teeth. "However, our dynasty uses a lot of jade, and the supply of jade must be guaranteed, so Nanshan must be in our hands. A rogue like a wolf will never allow him to have a foothold when he sees one and kill another. ”

He looked up and looked at Hunter with a smile. "Kun Mo, please be relieved, the emperor of my Han Dynasty is gracious to the world, and he will not rob you of your one-third of an acre. If you are obedient, you may have something to offer. In the past, peace was precious, and the Huns were rewarded with nearly 100 million money every year, but now that the Huns are disabled, the money will be saved, and you will be given some points, and it will be enough for you to eat, right? ”

Hunting arrogantly raised his eyebrows, turning his anger into joy. "Great powers are rewarded. However, I dare not disobey the maintenance of peace. Sir, do you need me to do something? ”

"No, it's not worth mentioning. With Liang Xiao out of the horse, the wolf will become a dead dog sooner or later. If you really have a heart, be ready to prepare, and when the time comes, send a proton into the court to meet my Emperor Majesty. In addition, you have to guarantee the safety of business travel along the way, if you can't guarantee it, I have to invite Liang Xiao to come. Dongfang Shuo shook his head again and again. Alas, he is now rich, and his temper is not very good, and his murderous spirit is too heavy. ”

Hunting Jiaomi was shocked to hear it. He gave Arekan a look and smiled, "Okay, I'll arrange it now." Sit, sir, and I'll come as I go. ”

Dongfang Shuo didn't speak, Lie Jiaomi got up and left the table, and only two people were left in the banquet, Arekan and Dongfang Shuo. Arekan took the wine glass, left his seat, and came to Dongfang Shuo. Dongfang Shuo laughed, reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and hugged her over.

"What's the problem, say?"

"It's not a big deal." Arekan blushed slightly. "I just want to ask, how much is true and how false is what you just said?"

Dongfang Shuo took a sip of wine from Arek's wine glass, and then crossed into Arekan's lips, making Arekan flush and panting, and then said: "I didn't say a lot, but I didn't say a word." ”

"What else did you not say?"

"The Celestial Wolf must die, but the Evil Sect can live." Dongfang Shuo picked up Arekan and put it on his lap, and the two faced each other. "You are the princess of the Evil Tribe, and you can choose someone to succeed you as the King of the Evil Spirit. It doesn't matter who it is. ”

Arekan was teased by Dongfang Shuo, his face was red, his heart was beating like a drum, but he was reluctant to leave, and he didn't dare to leave. "That'...... Is my brother okay? ”

"It's just not a wolf, it's okay." The smile on Dongfang Shuo's face became more and more ambiguous. "You can give birth to a son."

――

At the foot of the southern mountain, a group of cavalry galloped down the hillside. A hundred paces from the target, the archer raised his bow and fired three arrows in succession. The arrows sped away, shooting at the dummy, which was tied to the grass. The straw man is very tightly pierced, and as long as the arrow hits, it will hardly miss the target.

Immediately afterward, the cavalry rode up to the straw man, waved his war knife, and slashed at the straw man's head and shoulders. The knife flashed, and the straw man was stabbed.

"Medium!" A young Qiang man with a shaved head, but tied up the rest of his hair into a Han-style bun, shouted, picked up a pen, and made a mark on the wooden board next to him.

Another knight rushed past, but he swung his sword a little slower, and it was still a few feet from the straw man's back. When another Qiang boy saw it, he shouted in frustration: "Lost!" ”

One knight after another rushed to kill, and the Qiang boys were busy. "Medium" and "loss" are endless. The knights rushed past, regrouped the knights, and rushed to the next straw man. The teenagers who were waiting on the side immediately rushed over, busy pulling out the arrows, counting the results, and replacing the straw figures that could no longer be used, preparing for the next exercise.

Liang Xiao stood on the hillside, looking at the busy but not chaotic, orderly teenager, and raised his thumb. "Xu Jun is well trained."

"The prince has won the prize." Xu Le said with a smile: "These Qiang teenagers are simple and not very demanding, as soon as they hear that they can study, they will have the opportunity to go to Chang'an, and they will work hard." Princes, after three or five years, they are already dressed, and I am afraid that no one will recognize them as Qiang. ”

Liang Xiao was happy in his heart. Although Xu Le is not the kind of person who can speak well, he is very disciplined. He easily persuaded the leaders of the tribes, not only to select the most elite warriors, but also to select a group of qualified teenagers to be trained. Warriors are already familiar with mounted archery, and with a little training, they will soon be able to go into battle. The teenager has been exposed to it, and after three or five years, he is also a trustworthy elite.

"Xu Jun, have you ever heard that in fact, the ancestors of the Central Plains people are also Qiang people?"

"I have heard that it has been mentioned in Lu Zi (Lu Jia)'s "New Language", but many people think it is unlikely. He said that King Wen came from Dongyi and Dayu came from Xiqiang, which does not match what we know, and I am afraid that it is speculation. ”

"Really?" Liang Xiao was both surprised and a little embarrassed. He wanted to show off, but he didn't expect to show his timidity. Xu Le had not only heard of this statement, but also knew that it was unreliable.

"Junhou, I know what you mean." Xu Le smiled. "I agree with your idea, if you can make these Qiang people think that they are of the same origin as my Chinese clothes, it will indeed be conducive to assimilating them. Even if you don't say it, I'd like to do it. ”

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment and shook his head. "Xu Jun, I don't mean to be in power, but I want to know the answer very seriously. Although what Lu Zi said is wrong, it cannot be denied the possibility that Dayu came from Xiqiang. Scholars like to sit in their studies and bury themselves in the classics, but they forget that the real history is not only in the classics, but also in the stories that are passed down by word of mouth. ”

Xu Le looked at Liang Xiao puzzled. Liang Xiao's knowledge is average, and he rarely talks about these academic issues. When he took the initiative to mention it today, he was quite surprised.

"Xu Jun, what I mean is that the primary attitude of academia is to seek truth, and you can't deceive others for a certain purpose, let alone yourself, otherwise you will inevitably go astray in the end. Dong Fuzi's celestial and human induction is an example, and it has become a laughing stock, so I don't need to say more. Xu Jun now has the opportunity to get along with the Qiang people day and night, why not humbly listen to their stories, maybe there will be gains. ”

Xu Le thought for a moment and laughed softly: "Junhou, Lu Huaxia, is it really necessary to learn from these barbarians?" As the prince said, they don't even have words, they drink cheese and pulp, they wear leather and shoes, and they have no civilization at all, so what is there to learn? ”

"Does it have to be a text?" Liang Xiao squeezed his eyes and smiled meaningfully. "Wei Qihou Dou Ying said, I have average knowledge, but I only know a little about the Analects, I want to ask Xu Jun, there are so many children in the Analects, but there is a sentence book?"

Xu Le was stunned and speechless for a while.

"Xu Jun, I asked you to collect more stories of the Qiang people, not that the Qiang people are more civilized than us, but I just hope that you can open your mind and embrace all rivers. The real strong never closes themselves, with the wisdom of the master, he also asked Xiang Lu for advice, is it really that Xiang Lu is smarter than the master? If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. The teachings of the saints should not only be put into words, but also put into action, don't you say? ”――
