Chapter 201: On Paper
Liang Xiao woke up in a daze, only to feel that his mouth was dry, and he said: "Water, I want to drink water." ”
There was a voice in his ears, but he couldn't understand a word. Liang Xiao barely opened his eyes, and the white flowers in front of him seemed to be a person. He rubbed his eyes, looked closely, and couldn't help but be startled, flew up, and kicked the man down.
"Ahh This time Liang Xiao understood, and couldn't help but have a black line in his head. Isn't this the Hun girl, how did she get to my bed? He rolled over and got out of bed, circled around the sobbing Hun girl twice, and rubbed his hands again and again.
The girl was naked, without a single strand of body, and her white skin glowed with warmth in the flickering light. She hugged her arms and covered her body, tears flowed profusely, and her eyes were red and swollen, like ripe peaches.
"You...... How did you get to my bed? Liang Xiao asked.
The girl was just crying, and she couldn't understand what Liang Xiao was saying. Liang Xiao was helpless, pointed to the bed, and motioned for her to go to bed first. The girl understood, and reluctantly climbed into bed, burrowed into the thin quilt, and curled into a ball. Liang Xiao pulled a pair of pants and put them on, and then shouted: "Niu'er, Niu'er? ”
Pang Shuo strode in. "Lord, what's wrong?"
"What's going on?" Liang Xiao pointed to the Hun girl who was trembling on the bed and asked. "How did she get to my bed?"
Pang Shuo's face was taken for granted. "She's a captive of the sovereign, of course she has to be enjoyed by the sovereign, can she still cheapen those rough guys? Why, she doesn't wait for people, which annoys the lord. It's no wonder that Lord Mei said that she was the daughter of a big family, and she didn't think she had ever waited for anyone. ”
Liang Xiao hurriedly interrupted Pang Shuo. What is this? "What about the cows? Didn't I tell him? If I'm drunk. I can't let anyone near me. How did he forget? ”
"I know this, Niu Er told me." Pang Shuo slapped his chest. "Don't worry, this woman can't understand a word of Chinese, even if the lord scolds the emperor, it doesn't matter. Oh, my lord, are you worried about Lord Huainan Weng? It's okay, Lord Huainan Weng is not a stingy person, she ......"
"Get out!" Liang Xiao really couldn't listen to it anymore. That's all there to talk about? Today is the first time I have discovered it. "Fetch some water. I'm dying of thirst. Forget it, forget it, I'd better go out and drink. ”
Liang Xiao went out of the door, and saw Mei Gao holding his legs, sitting under the porch, shaking his head and not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing Liang Xiao, he laughed and beckoned. "Ah Xiao, come and sit, there is water here."
Liang Xiao sat down. Mei Gao took a cup and poured him a glass of water. Liang Xiao took it. He glanced at Mei Gao. "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"It may be that I have been away from home for a long time, and I suddenly think of my family and can't sleep for a while." Mei Gao hugged his knees, rested his chin on his knees, and looked up at the waning moon in the sky. "Ah Xiao, you say, will this moonlight shine on Liang Kingdom?"
Liang Xiao pursed his lips. "Don't talk about Liang Guo, it's the whole world, and it's just such a moon. Do you think you can do it? ”
"Even if you can get it, there's a difference. For example, for the same sun, the south is much hotter than the north. For the same Son of Heaven, the people of this county do not enjoy as much grace as the people of Chang'an. ”
Liang Xiao was speechless. This literati is a literati, and his thinking is too jumpy. is worthy of being an expert in writing great endowments, and the export is a chapter.
"I just asked the woman. Her name is ......" Mei Gao bit her tongue and made a very awkward sound, and then said: "In our Chinese, it means the moon." Her horse was also called the same name, and was said to be a good horse in the Western Regions. But she wasn't a Huns. ”
"Not the Huns?" Liang Xiao thought about it and felt that it was right. This woman is indeed far from the ordinary Huns. According to ethnically, the Huns actually look similar to the Han Chinese, they are all Asians, and this woman is a bit like a European.
"Their tribe is from the east of the Snow Mountains and is a descendant of Donghu who was conquered by the Huns."
Liang Xiao suddenly realized that he couldn't help but pat his head. That's right, the Donghu people, who later became the Xianbei people, are said to be the same, with white skin, yellow hair, and some blue eyes.
"The Huns have suffered from snowstorms in recent years, and the situation is not very good, so they need to get money, grain, and cloth from our Han to tide over the difficulties. There were disagreements within the Xiongnu on how to take it, some people wanted to be friendly with the Han Chinese, and some people wanted to rob directly. One of the purposes of the Dragon City meeting was to discuss this issue, and the result was unresolved, and it may not be until July that the forest will have a result. ”
Liang Xiao's heart moved. "Ziru, do you have any ideas?"
Mei Gao nodded. "That's right, I want to take this opportunity to go into the grassland and see the virtual reality. After all, the Empress Dowager is still alive, and there are many people in the court who hold the way of Huang Lao, and for a while, it is difficult for the ministers of the court and the central government to support the proposal to send troops to fight. It's also good if you can delay it for a while with a kiss. ”
Liang Xiao frowned and groaned for a long time. "Aren't you worried that you will follow in the footsteps of Gongsun Hong?"
"Of course I'm worried. But isn't the purpose of our envoy to check the situation of the Xiongnu for His Majesty's eyes and ears? Before the time comes, wouldn't it be against the original intention to encourage His Majesty to send troops for his own selfish interests? ”
Liang Xiao was a little ashamed of himself. On this issue, he is not as open as a real Han Chinese.
"In that case, what moon are you going to send to my bed?"
Mei Gao smiled. "This is what she said herself, the people on the grassland believe in the strong, she said that you are the strongest in this group, so she is willing to attach to you."
"!" Liang Xiao spat out. "Crying like that voluntarily? Both eyes were crying like peaches. ”
"Because she originally wanted to marry the eagle on the grassland, the king of Zuogu Li, Yi Zhiyi."
"Poof!" Liang Xiao squirted out all the water he had just drunk in, his eyes widening. Childish? It's a familiar name. Isn't it the later Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi. If so, this girl's background is really not small.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Liang Xiao's strange face, Mei Gao asked with concern.
"It's fine." Liang Xiao shook his head, but muttered to himself in his heart. If you put aside the relationship between friend and foe, Yi Zhixie is also a character, and it is not bad to be able to compete with him for women. However, I went to bed without any emotional foundation at all. It's like that. Isn't it a bit ...... Too sloppy?
Listen to the faint ** sound in the courtyard next door. Liang Xiao secretly sighed. I'm still a long way from a true Ranger.
――
After staying in Shanwu City for two days, the customized iron armor and weapons were in place, and Xie Guanglong led him to register. Although cities were set up at the border gates to trade with the Hu people, the imperial court had very strict control over strategic materials. War horses, copper and iron tools, and salt are all under control, and the basic principle is wide in and strict out. Liang Xiao and others had to carry a large number of iron armor and weapons out of the customs, and they had to register and obtain the certificate of the Taishou Mansion before they could leave the customs.
After all the formalities were completed, Liang Xiao and his party left Shanwu City. Northbound via Wuzhou. Before leaving, he left Moon Maiden in Shanwu City, riding only her horse, and then gave up his Qingsheng to Pang Shuo. Pang Shuo was too tall and didn't have a suitable war horse, so it was difficult for him to keep up with Liang Xiao's pace, and he couldn't play his due role.
got a good horse, Pang Shuo was so happy that he smiled and couldn't put it down.
The same goes for Xie Guanglong and others. Wearing brand new iron armor, they are happier than the New Year. Iron armor is much more protective than leather armor. On the battlefield where stray arrows are flying, as long as you don't meet an archery master like Liang Xiao. It is difficult for an ordinary archer to shoot through iron armor, and even if it does, it is unlikely to be fatal. With iron armor, it is equivalent to one more life.
Not only that, Liang Xiao also made a small change to the iron armor. The front and back of the armor were originally separated, and they were tied tightly with rope on the shoulders, armpits, and waist. Liang Xiao was troublesome, so he asked the cobbler to connect the front and back pieces together, and put the opening in front, a bit like a horse clip in later generations. Usually put it in your bag, put it on your body when you wear it, cover it on your chest, and buckle it with a hook, which is convenient and fast.
For this, Liang Xiao paid nearly 2,000 more money. However, Liang Xiao felt that the money was well spent, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and if he could save a little time, he might be able to have one more chance to live. Instead of giving a pension to those who died in battle in the future, it is better to spend more money on equipment to increase their chances of survival.
The knights were grateful to Liang Xiao for his generosity, and they were also very dedicated to doing things, and they didn't need Xie Guanglong's orders, they galloped back and forth to ensure safety.
Under the careful protection of the knights, Ma Rong devoted himself to drawing the map. After a few days of drilling, he had become familiar with these new tools and was able to draw drawings with ease. Each sheepskin was painted, rolled up and hidden in the compartment of the carriage.
Considering that the ambush battle in history took place in Mayi, Liang Xiao did not rush out of the fortress and traveled far away, but went around the north of Yanmen. Before accepting Huan Yuan's dictation of the art of war, Liang Xiao had heard Huan Yuan say that the terrain was important, and at this time, the more he practiced, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Ma Yi's strategy was almost child's play.
The reason is simple, Mayi is in the south of Yanmen County, close to Yanmen Pass. The Huns came up from the steppe, and if they wanted to reach Mayi, they had to cross the Great Wall from Wuzhou at least and walk two or three hundred miles south. This section of the road is not as sparsely populated as outside the Great Wall, there are several county seats, and it is certainly impossible to move all these people. If you don't move away, secrecy will become a big problem.
Ma Yi's plot failed in the end, and it seems that it was because of a leak.
Before that, Liang Xiao still felt that the captain was wrong, but now that he saw the actual terrain, he felt that even if this captain didn't leak secrets, others would leak secrets. Unless the Huns were conceited to the point of blindness, Ma Yi's plan could not have succeeded.
Isn't Wang Hui from the border county, how could he devise such a mentally retarded tactic, this is obviously not feasible.
Liang Xiao was also worried that he had seen it wrong, so he took the opportunity to talk to Xie Guanglong and asked a question: "If you want to ambush the Huns, where will you choose the location?" ”
Xie Guanglong thought for a while: "The best location between Zhuwenze and Yanze is Zhuwenze, and if the Huns want to get water, they must stay in Zhuwenze, where it is convenient to ambush soldiers." ”
"Can you lead the Huns to Sene, such as Ma Yi or Shanwu?"
"Hah!" Xie Guanglong laughed exaggeratedly: "How is it possible, unless the Huns are kicked in the head by horses." ”
Liang Xiao didn't say anything. He didn't feel that the Huns' brains were kicked by horses, he felt that Wang Hui's brains were kicked by horses. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who is known as a generation of heroes, actually listened to his advice, and he can only say that no one is perfect, and no matter how smart a person is, there are times when he is stupid.
If there is no actual consideration of the terrain, the tactics devised will definitely be the donkey's head against the horse's mouth, and the final defeat is inevitable.
We must not allow such a stupid thing to happen.
