Creon was furious.

Dawan's city guard is similar to the Taishou and county orders of the Han Dynasty, but the power is much greater, which is equivalent to a prince. Although Liang Xiao is an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and now he is highly valued by the King of Dawan, he can't be so presumptuous in front of him, the Suye City Guard.

Let me go see you? You're mistaken about the identity of the guest and host.

Creon ignored the people sent by Nie Yi, and didn't say to go, nor did he say no, so he hung him there, doing whatever he had to do. He took care of the guards at the door, and if Liang Xiao or Nie Yi asked to see them and blocked them out, he would say that I was busy. I didn't have time to see them.

Creon sat in his castle guard's mansion, thinking about how to give Liang Xiao a dismount later, so that he could recognize the form. At this moment, the general guarding the city gate came to report that there were countless cavalry with haired hairs outside the city, and it seemed that there were at least four or five thousand.

Creon was taken aback and almost sat on the ground.

"Huns?"

The person who reported was covered in cold sweat, nodded again and again, and shook his head again and again. Creon was in a hurry, and flew up and kicked the man in the head. "Is it or isn't it? You nod and shake your head, what do you mean? ”

The man rolled over and fell to his knees, crying. "My lord, it does look like a Huns, but I don't know if it's or not. They...... They seem to have come from the west. ”

Creon's eyes rolled and he thought of Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao also came from the west, he should have seen these barbarians. Did he come to tell the news, or ...... He brought these barbarians?

Thinking that Liang Xiao might have four or five thousand barbarian cavalry, Creon didn't dare to put up a fight anymore. His own family background knows that there are only more than a thousand soldiers in Suye City, and in the face of four or five thousand barbarian cavalry, there is no advantage at all.

Creon hurriedly took his entourage and rushed to Nie Yi's house. As soon as they met. He looked at Liang Xiao's face. Seeing Liang Xiao's serious face, a hint of ominous feeling suddenly passed through his heart.

"Your envoy is from Guishan City?"

Liang Xiao felt that Creon's expression was not quite right, and there seemed to be some fear in his politeness. He thought about it, and suddenly remembered the Yue's cavalry outside the city, and hurriedly said, "Did your lord see the cavalry outside the city?" ”

Creon nodded wryly. "I heard that these cavalry are coming from the west, and your envoy ...... Have you ever encountered it? ”

Liang Xiao smiled. "Of course I did. They are the Yueshi cavalry I brought. ”

"Huh?" Creon's face changed suddenly. He stood up. He took two steps back and motioned for the guards to step forward to protect him, and then shouted, "Your envoy, what do you mean? ”

With a "bang", dozens of soldiers stepped forward and surrounded Liang Xiao and Nie Yi in the middle. When Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo saw it, they immediately drew their swords and prepared to fight. The four of Alpha formed a circle around Liang Xiao, and Sigma cooperated with Beta and Xia. Put the black bow on the string and be ready to hand it to Liang Xiao at any time. Seeing that the situation was not right, Nie Yi's guards also surrounded him, surrounding Creon and the guards in the center.

For a while, the atmosphere was tense, as if facing a great enemy.

Liang Xiao and Nie Yi looked at each other, not knowing what kind of illness Creon had committed. After a while, Nie Yi suddenly realized. smiled: "My lord, you misunderstood. Now Dawan and the Yue Clan Alliance. These Yueshi cavalry came to help Dawan fight against the Wusun people. ”

"What?" Creon was a little dizzy. Nie Yi said it again, and Creon heard it clearly. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a long breath, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I thought it was ...... Ashamed, ashamed. ”

Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. What kind of Dawan official is this, after all, he is also a big member. Why are you so uncalm.

"My lord, although the Huns have not yet come, they are coming soon." Liang Xiao asked Li Shuyun to explain the situation in the mountain pass. He had confessed to Li Shuyun in advance, and he couldn't say that he was defeated, but he could only say that he had encountered some setbacks temporarily. Ordinary soldiers knew that it didn't matter if Yu Cai had lost the battle. They basically have no channels to speak out, but these city guards are nobles, and let them know that if they lose the battle, they will be in trouble.

Knowing that outside the city were the Yueshi people, and that they were allies and not enemies, Creon's heart had just fallen back into his chest, but when he heard that the Huns were coming, Creon suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were full of stars. For him, of course, the Yueshi people are terrible, but the Huns are ten times more terrible than the Yueshi people. The reason is very simple, the Yueshi people were defeated by the Huns and fled to the west of the Green Ridge.

Liang Xiao was speechless. Such a person can actually serve as the guardian of Suye City, and there is really no one in Dawan Kingdom. However, thinking about it, Wei Cai, it is true that you can't ask too much of this Creon.

Liang Xiao was patient, and waited for Creon to finish fainting, and then said: "My lord, although the Huns are numerous, they are not good at attacking cities. Now that it is winter, the Huns have taken captivity and plundered without gain, and they will inevitably be embarrassed. Now that the vice-king of Yucai still occupies the mountain pass, the Huns must go a long way if they want to retreat. Once you encounter heavy snowfall, you will definitely be hit hard. At that time, the lord and the deputy king will have made a great contribution. ”

Creon's eyes flickered, and he hesitated. According to his personal meaning, he did not have the confidence to fight the Huns. But Liang Xiao also has a point. As long as you hold the city, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. What's more, as a Suye city guard, he has been in contact with many merchants, and he has also heard of the barbarism and ferocity of the Huns. He didn't want Suye City to be sacked by the Huns.

He looked at Liang Xiao, saw that Liang Xiao was full of confidence, thought about his deeds, and then thought about the cavalry of the Five Thousand Moon Clan outside the city, gritted his teeth, and arched his hand at Liang Xiao and Nie Yi. "Just according to your envoy, please ask your envoy to help me a lot."

Liang Xiao returned the salute.

At Liang Xiao's suggestion, Crane urgently mobilized, strengthened the defense, and allocated some supplies to the Yueshi people. Creon didn't dare to let the Yue's people into the city. In his eyes, there was no difference between the Yueshi and the Huns, they were all barbarians. Seeing the wealth of Suye City, it is inevitable that you will have bad intentions. Besides, it's better to be outside the city for cavalry.

Liang Xiao was not reluctant. He was also worried that the Yueshi people would not be able to control themselves. In case the Huns didn't come, but the Yueshi people robbed Suye City, it would be to lift a stone and hit themselves in the foot.

After discussing the city defense, Liang Xiao went out of the city with the grain and supplies delivered by Creon, and returned to the camp that the Yueshi people had set up. The Dawan people are not good at riding and shooting, but the defense technology is okay, as long as they do not give up, it is estimated that the Huns will not be able to capture the city. However, the Yueshi people's fear of the Huns should not be underestimated, and they must be dealt with carefully.

Liang Xiao advised Axiana to abandon the nomadic habit of setting up camps more casually and follow the Han way. Set up camp between Suye City and Suye Water, and cut down trees to make a camp. With the city and the Suye water, their work is much smaller, and more importantly, this can support the inside and outside of Suye City, and if necessary, they can also retreat into Suye City.

Ayana accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion. He knows it himself. In the face of the Huns, the Yueshi people were psychologically inferior. Having a barracket as protection can increase some sense of security and prevent the soldiers from being too nervous and chaotic.

Both inside and outside Suye City were busy, and everyone was engaged in intense preparations, and no one wanted to become a ghost of the Huns.

To Liang Xiao's surprise, the Huns, who acted quickly and came and went like the wind, were late this time. Five days later. Only then did the scouts send the news that they found the traces of the Huns, which were still three hundred miles away.

Liang Xiao felt very puzzled, and Ah Xiana was also puzzled. There are more than a thousand miles from the mountain pass to Suye City, and at the speed of the Huns, it will definitely take five or six days. How did you walk for seven or eight days and still have more than 300 miles?

The two thought for a long time, and Liang Xiao suddenly realized a problem.

"Wudan won't bring the captured Dawan foot soldiers and prepare to attack the city, right?"

Ahna listened. I think it's possible. The weather was getting colder and colder, but Wudan gave up the speed advantage of the Huns. There is only one possibility: he intends to spend the winter in Dawan. Suye City is an important town on the grassland trade route, and it is also an important city on the eastern border of Dawan Kingdom. Tomorrow at the beginning of spring, he can continue his march westward.

Guessing this possibility, Ah Xiana was even more nervous than Liang Xiao. This shows that Wudan really has the meaning of occupying Dawan. Once the Huns occupied Dawan, it was extremely unfavorable to the Yue clan.

"What should I do?"

"Don't worry. Even with the help of Dawan's footmen, he didn't have it so easy to conquer Suye City. Liang Xiao comforted: "Siege is not a field battle, it takes a lot of time. I don't think God will be willing to give Wudan time. Perhaps, this is a great opportunity for us to hit Wudan hard. The Evil King has been greatly damaged by infighting. If you are frustrated again, then you have a chance to return to your old place. ”

Ajuna nodded repeatedly. He very much agreed with Liang Xiao's opinion. Although Liang Xiao is still very jerky in terms of specific tactical arrangements, his overall view is very good. From the war in Suye City to the future of the entire Western Regions, even Ajuna may not be able to think about it so much.

The two have made a decision. In order to prevent the Huns from attacking Suye City and attacking other cities, Ajuna urgently sent people to bring Batu to the army. At this moment, it is more important to protect Batu than to help the Dawan people.

――

Wudan drank fine wine, hugged the beauty, and was in a good mood.

He felt more and more that Dawan was a good place, with good wine, beautiful women, good singing and dancing, and a different taste compared to the Hun women, just as attractive as their songs and dances.

No wonder the Han people traveled thousands of miles to form an alliance with Dawan. It's such a great place. Hunting Jiaomi, this stupid person, how could he not eat Dawan's fat meat, and he had to fight to the death with the Yue's people.

Thinking of the arrogance of hunting that was still blocked in the mountains, Wudan couldn't help but want to laugh.

He is a hunting dog of the Huns, how can he have any autonomy. Fight the Yue clan or fight Dawan, how can he decide. Even if it is defeated, isn't it still the Huns who will gain the most? Hounds can only share a piece of meat at most, and the biggest prey is still the owner's.

Wudan has received the news that there are 5,000 Yue's cavalry outside Suye City, and Suye City is clearing the field with strong walls and strengthening the city defenses. But these did not make Wudan nervous, but made him more confident. What are the Yueshi people, in front of the Huns, they only have the share of escaping. What's the use of reinforcing the city defenses, Suye City only has more than 1,000 guards, and he captured more than 5,000 Dawan foot soldiers, even if five fight one, he can take Suye City.

Anyway, the people who died were all Dawan people, and he didn't feel distressed at all. The more Dawan's foot soldiers died in battle, the lighter his burden became.

Take Suye City, spend a comfortable winter in Suye City, recuperate, and take down the entire Dawan next year.

Wu Dan stretched out his arms and stretched out, excited about his grand blueprint.

"Liang Xiao, you really did me a great favor. When I catch you, I will make you king. Well, what kind of king is it good to make? You are a messenger sent by God to help me, so call me the King of Heaven. ”――
