More than 100 miles east of Daze, in a hidden nameless valley, Liang Xiao stood behind the bushes, raised his clairvoyance again, observed the grassland in the east, and then turned around and looked at the grassland on all sides.

The grassland was so peaceful and quiet that not even a single bird could be seen.

Liang Xiao sighed, put away his clairvoyance, picked up the water bladder from Tu Niu'er's hand, took a sip of water, took it in his mouth for a while, and swallowed it slowly. "What gossip do the officers and men have to say?"

Tuniu'er smacked his mouth for a moment. "Absolutely."

Liang Xiao crooked his mouth. "What about you, what do you think?"

Tuniuer scratched her head. "I can't figure it out either. However, I am sure that you will not suffer, and you must be holding back some bad things. ”

Liang Xiao glared at Tu Niu'er, stuffed the water bladder into his arms, and stopped talking.

After traveling more than 100 miles eastward with Li Guang, the more he thought about it, the more inappropriate he felt. Leaving Cheng Buzhi alone to face the Xiongnu Shan Yu is really not safe. Li Guang's plan was to quickly defeat the Lou Fu Wang's army, and then concentrate his forces on a duel with the Xiongnu. However, not to mention the foot soldiers of Han Anguo's department, even if it is a cavalry equipped with three horses, fighting for more than 1,000 miles back and forth in a few days, the physical strength will inevitably be consumed.

At that time, will it still be able to compete with the main force led by the Xiongnu Shan Yu? If it fails, the consequences are unimaginable. Cavalry duel, once defeated and chased by the Hun cavalry, it was a disaster.

So Liang Xiao found Li Guang and analyzed it repeatedly, hoping to lead three thousand elite horsemen to stay, ready to answer Cheng at any time. When necessary, it can also provide early warning for Li Guang.

Li Guang agreed. On the one hand, Liang Xiao's caution was not unreasonable, and on the other hand, leaving three thousand horsemen had no decisive impact on him. Without Liang Xiao, a competitor who became famous as a teenager, other generals could still share a little more credit.

Therefore, Liang Xiao's stay here now is not because of something bad, but because of a strong sense of crisis.

The big war. Although there are three generals in front of him, he is the veritable initiator. In history, the first battle of the Han and Hungarian was a futile ambush war, the Han army took the initiative to attack a few years behind, the four generals each led 10,000 cavalry to attack, and in the end only Wei Qing achieved the record of beheading hundreds of people. Now. Because of his appearance, the Han army dispatched 100,000 foot cavalry in the first battle.

He became famous in a fight, he was rich and noble, behind the scenery, I don't know how much jealousy he fought for himself, plus he fought for his wife with Prime Minister Tian Wei, and the people he offended were all over the government and the opposition. Once you miss, the number of people who fall into the well is countless. Therefore, this battle cannot be lost. Not only can it not be defeated. And to win remarkably. In this way, the Son of Heaven will have face. The Son of Heaven has face, so that he can live a nourishing life.

However, once the Xiongnu arrived, all this could come to naught. How could he not be nervous, how could he be like Li Guang and other soldiers, bent on grabbing people's heads.

He is receiving the salary of a general, and he is in the heart of a commander.

Liang Xiao raised his clairvoyance again. "Tell the brothers. Rest in peace, there is a time when they cut off people's heads. ”

Tuniu'er answered. gave the guards around him a look. Some guards turned around and left, conveying military orders. He didn't see it, and the corners of Liang Xiao's eyes jumped inadvertently, revealing a little uneasiness.

A dozen fast horses appeared on the horizon, quickly approaching.

Liang Xiao put down his clairvoyance and waved his hand at Pang Shuo. Pang Shuo will understand. With a few mercenaries, he rushed down the hill and stopped the knights.

Seeing that it was Pang Shuo, the knights were surprised and delighted, and followed Pang Shuo up the mountain, and one of them came to Liang Xiao. didn't wait for Liang Xiao to ask. And he fell to the ground. "Liang Junhou, Xiongnu Shan Yu is here."

There was a chill in the back of Liang Xiao's head. The Xiongnu Shan Yu came more than they estimated, and it seemed that they had met the Aries King, knew that the situation in Henan was tight, and rushed to help.

Liang Xiaoqiang was calm. "How many are there?"

"The exact number is not yet known, at least more than 30,000 riders." The knight was hoarse. "They came very quickly. General Cheng is worried that they will divide their troops to help King Lou, so let us inform General Li and tell him to be on guard. ”

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, and his scalp tingled for a while. Cheng Buzhi is worried like him, if the Huns choose to ignore Cheng Buzhi and instead rush to the aid of King Lou, whether it is Li Guang or Han Anguo, they will face major pressure, and may even be wiped out. The elite of the royal court of Xiongnu Shan Yu is not comparable to the subordinates of the Aries King and the Lou Fu King, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger.

No matter what, we have to hold them back and buy time for Li Guang and Han Anguo.

"You still follow the old plan and inform General Li. Be careful, you may encounter a Hun rout at any time. ”

The knight nodded and turned.

Liang Xiao thought for a long time and found Xie Guanglong. "You make a hard trip, take a few brothers who are familiar with the environment deep into the grassland, find out the real strength of Shan Yu, especially to find out if there are other reinforcements."

"Whoa." Xie Guanglong responded excitedly.

"You bring this." Liang Xiao took out the clairvoyance, stuffed it into Xie Guanglong's hand, and patted it reluctantly. "Stay away from the Huns, don't be greedy. Your wealth is waiting for you, and you will return to your hometown with your life and clothes. ”

Xie Guanglong laughed. "Don't worry, how many times have I been coming and going in the steppe, and no one knows how to hide and seek with the Huns better than me. If you don't feel at ease, send me two archers. ”

Liang Xiao agreed, and sent Firefox and another mercenary archer to accompany Xie Guanglong. Their mission is simple, to provide long-range strike support to Xie Guanglong in the event of an encounter.

The stakes are important, Xie Guanglong did not dare to slack off, and set off immediately.

Liang Xiao immediately sent someone to inform Cheng Buzhi that he was a hundred miles away and could rush to help at any time, so that Cheng Buzhi should not be too nervous, thinking that he was alone and making a wrong judgment.

——

In the camp, Cheng Buzhi stood on the top of a big car, holding clairvoyance, looking at the crowd in the dark sky, and a bitterness surged in his heart.

It's easy to earn some military merits, and I'm afraid I'm going to throw it here this time. The Huns were strong and strong, and they came suddenly, even if Li Guang and Han Anguo had already defeated King Loufu, they would not have time to rush to help.

Maybe it's better not to come, the Han army has been on the expedition for nearly half a month, and the casualties are close to thirty percent, and they have become a tired army, and they have no advantage in the face of the main force of the Huns who have just entered the battlefield.

What am I going to do? Cheng didn't know how to weigh it repeatedly, and he was in a dilemma.

Due to military orders, the officers and men of the army performed their duties and were ready for battle. But Cheng didn't know that they were suddenly facing the enemy, and they were also very nervous now, but they were afraid of military law, so they didn't disperse in a hurry. When the two sides engage in battle, the casualties increase, and no one knows when they will be crushed by fear.

At this moment, Liang Xiao's messenger arrived.

Knowing that Liang Xiao was a hundred miles away, Cheng Buzhi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. Although the three thousand horsemen were insignificant compared to the Huns who were constantly coming, the person who could lead them was Liang Xiao, which added a little confidence to Cheng Buzhi.

Liang Xiao is the person who created the miracle of running thousands of miles, winning more with less twice in a row, and thwarting the main force of the Huns. More importantly, he did not accompany Li Guangdong, which shows that the current situation has long been expected by him.

Cheng Buzhi thought about it for a while, and convened the generals to discuss the matter. In front of the frightened generals, Cheng Buzhi conveyed Liang Xiao's military report.

Knowing that he was not alone, Liang Xiao was a hundred miles away, and he was within reach, and the generals were obviously relieved. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Buzhi smiled and said, "Gentlemen, this is God's gift to us. I'm old, and I'm going to have to go back to the field in a few years. But you are still young, if you play majestic and famous this time, you may have the opportunity to fight side by side with Liang Boming. ”

The generals laughed, which not only relieved a little pressure, but also added a little pride. Liang Xiao can become famous as a teenager, why can't we?

After arousing the fighting spirit of the generals, Cheng Buzhi struck while the iron was hot, arranged tasks, and prepared to die with the Huns.

——

The military minister Shan Yu sat on horseback, looking at the Han army camp in the distance, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

The king of Aries rode a green horse, shrunk and haggard, with bloodshot eyes. For a moment, he was defeated by the Han army, more than half of the 30,000 cavalry were lost, and the fertile Hetao pasture was taken away by Li Guang and Liang Xiao, and now he is a lost dog. If he hadn't met Shan Yu on the way, he really didn't know where he could go.

Despite this, he received a lot of merciless ridicule. The Huns believed in the strong, and without strength, there was no dignity.

"That's Cheng Buzhi?" Shan Yu pointed at the fluttering dalu in the distance with his horsewhip, pursed his lips, and did not hide the contempt in his tone.

"Yes, he just doesn't know Cheng." The Aries King swallowed with difficulty.

"Cheng doesn't know and it's not Li Guang, what's there to be afraid of." A little Wang said nonchalantly: "You can't even break his position, no wonder you will be beaten by the Han people and your nose and eyes are swollen." ”

"He's standing on his back, what can I do?" The Aries King said unconvinced.

Shan Yu squinted at the Aries King. "Then now that he's not standing on his back, can you break through his camp?"

The Aries King hesitated for a moment. He knew that Shan Yu was giving him a chance. If he can't prove his mettle, then he doesn't deserve to own the ranch and can only give it to someone else. The Hetao is rich in water and grass, and he can't afford to give up this treasure land.

He gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. He also has more than 10,000 horsemen, and with the support of Shan Yu, he has the opportunity to break through the camp that Cheng does not know. As long as he makes meritorious contributions and gets the spoils of war, he can still regain his strength. Moreover, he himself has always been unconvinced, feeling that he is just careless, not that his strength is not enough. If he is given another chance, he will definitely be able to get rid of his shame.

"Well, I'll give you another chance. If you can't prove your mettle, give the opportunity to someone else. ”

"Thank you." The Aries King stroked his chest and returned to his ranks with his guards. Shan Yu looked back at the others and asked again: "Is there any news about Li Guang and Liang Xiao?" ”

"Nope." The crown prince Yushan said loudly: "Within thirty miles, I haven't seen the shadow of other Han troops, so I should have gone to copy the back road of the king of Lou." ”

Shan Yu frowned. "Ask the Great Slaughter to come." ——
