Guo Wenbin was in charge of the translation and had a clear understanding of the conversation between the two. After Yu Cai left, he and Liang Xiao smiled heartily.
"My lord, now all the problems are solved. These nobles of Dawan are all very rich, and there is no problem at all in raising three or five thousand soldiers. The vice-king is the second most important minister after the king, and has more resources to mobilize. The adults just helped him solve the cicada seal, and he made a windfall. With his support, the adults can even command half of the people of the Great Wan Kingdom. ”
"Then what if we get the support of King Dawan?"
"If the adult can marry the princess, the warriors of the entire Dawan Kingdom may be under your command."
Liang Xiao rolled his eyes. "I am the messenger of the Han Dynasty, marrying the princess of the Great Wan Kingdom? Unless I take root in Dawan, I will never return to Dahan. ”
Guo Wenbin laughed. After laughing for a while, he said again: "In my opinion, I'm afraid that one of the hearts of that Dawan Pearl has fallen on the adult's body." My lord, for the sake of the country, you will follow. ”
Liang Xiao scratched his head, a little annoyed.
――
Yu Cai walked quickly into the palace. He was cowered in the throne, with his head propped up, and his face full of sorrow. Seeing Yu Cai walk in, he was a little more energetic and sat up straight. "Vice King, what did the Han envoy say?"
"The Han envoy said that he was willing to help us defend against Wusun, and hoped that the king would allow him to send an envoy to the Yueshi and ally with the Yueshi to fight against Wusun......"
Wu Cai said Liang Xiao's suggestion again, and finally said: "King, the Han envoy is brave, he can kill the evil king, and he must also be able to deal with the arrogance of hunting. We just need to spend some money and get him to recruit some men. Fight for us. If he wins, Dawan will be safe and sound, and everyone will be happy. In case of defeat, we can also put the blame on him, and it will not be too late to ask Wusun for peace at that time. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief. "If you spend a little money, you can solve the problem. Of course, it couldn't be better. Let the Han people fight the Wusun people, I don't want to go to the battlefield. Vice King, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Fu Cai nodded with a smile. He had long known that he was not willing to go to war, and if anyone was willing to take on the responsibility for him, he would be willing to spend as much as he wanted.
Of course, he had a similar idea. Since Liang Xiao was willing to recruit veterans to help him charge into battle and resist Wusun, why didn't he do it? Victory, he has merit. If you lose, it's a big deal to push Liang Xiao and others out to be scapegoats.
The two hit it off.
Behind the curtain, Luo Xuli pouted, rolled her eyes, and walked out. "Father, the Han envoy saved his daughter's life, how is the father going to reward him?"
――
Mo Cai was more active than Liang Xiao imagined, and soon sent someone to send military salaries and supplies.
He also planned to give Liang Xiao the position of lieutenant. to lead the army, but was rejected by Liang Xiao. As the messenger of the Great Han. Accepting official positions from other countries is inconsistent with the system of the imperial court. Besides, although Dawan is good, can there still be a big man? This time, after making meritorious contributions, it is reasonable to return to Dahan and be promoted. Why did he bother to be a lieutenant in Dawan.
Liang Xiao discussed with Wu Cai to transfer this lieutenant to old Andrew. Old Andrew had combat experience, and it was more than enough to serve as a lieutenant. Old Andrew is also a man he trusts, and it will be convenient for him to command in the future.
Tsai agreed.
Old Andrew was promoted and refreshed. Liang Xiao immediately asked him to take a few people and ride on the horse. rushed to the nearby grassland, persuaded the old comrades-in-arms to enlist in the army, and completed the recruitment of two hundred attendants first. The other 2,000 people were recruited by order issued by Wu Cai in the name of Dawan officials.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the grassland is endless, and the snow-capped mountains and white clouds in the distance are surrounded, like a fairyland. On the meadow by the Gasates River, the sun is shining, the river is roaring, the aquatic plants are drifting with the waves, and the small silver fish swim among the aquatic plants, and in a flash, they disappear into the aquatic plants.
Liang Xiao walked slowly by the river with his hands behind his back. Stepping on the sand, you sink into shallow pits, leaving a clear line of footprints.
In the distance, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves. Liang Xiao looked up and couldn't help frowning.
A white horse galloped forward, and a delicate figure on horseback.
It's Dawan princess Luo Xuli.
Rosili rode a white horse to the river. She jumped off the horse, threw the reins, let the white horse go to eat grass and drink water by himself, walked quickly in front of Liang Xiao, held her hands behind her back, shook her body, but did not speak. Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to salute.
"You...... Why don't you become a lieutenant, is it too small? Luo Xuli said word by word, after a few days, her Chinese language has improved a lot, and she can actually speak complete sentences.
Liang Xiao smiled. He said that how could Wu Cai suddenly make him Dawan's official, it turned out to be the princess's suggestion. He raised his hand, ready to ask Guo Wenbin to translate. Luo Xuli took a step forward, held his arm, and held it in her arms. "I ...... I can understand. ”
Liang Xiao twitched his arm gently, trying to pull it out of Luo Xuli's arms. Luo Xuli is a woman on the grassland, she eats well, she looks much more mature than a Han woman, her arms are held in her arms, the soft touch is very attractive, even through winter clothes, he can feel Luo Xuli's enthusiasm.
"This ...... Can you loosen it first? Liang Xiao's face was red, he pointed to his arm, and begged.
"Are you afraid?" Luo Xuli blushed, but her eyes were very determined. Seeing that Liang Xiao was nervous, she became even more proud, not only did she not mean to open, but hugged her tighter. "You are not even afraid of the Huns and Wusun, but you are still afraid of me as a woman?"
"Uh......"
"We have a saying that when you see a good horse you like, you must first lasso it, and you can't let him run away."
Liang Xiao blurted out. "However, before I met the princess, I was already trapped."
Luo Xuli's face changed, and the shy flush dissipated in an instant. She looked at Liang Xiao in a daze, and slowly let go of her arm to cover her lips. "You...... Say what? ”
Liang Xiao smacked his lips in embarrassment, looked around, found a clean and tidy place, and stretched out his hand to signal. Luo Xuli hesitated for a while, but sat down. She lowered her head, hugged her arms, and hid her face between her arms.
Liang Xiao sat opposite her and said softly: "Princess, let me tell you a story, there is a princess in the story, who is as smart and beautiful as you......"
――
Sima Gate, Dongfang Shuo walked out, waved at his former colleagues, said hello, and walked to the avenue opposite the palace gate. The oversized carriage that had been struck from Liang Xiao's hand was waiting for him. Dongfang Shuo walked to the back of the car, and a servant opened the car door and lowered the pedal. Dongfang Shuo lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to get into the car, when he suddenly turned his head and looked to the east side.
A carriage came galloping and stopped beside him. The curtain opened, revealing a pretty face without powder.
"Lord Weng?" Dongfang Shuo was surprised.
"Dongfang Manqian, are you willing to go along?" Liu Ling said with a smile.
Dongfang Shuo turned his head to look at the palace gate and smiled. "Lord Weng dare, what dare I dare. Although your carriage is exquisite, it is not as spacious as mine, so don't you want to come up and enjoy it? ”
"I've admired the name of your car for a long time, and I've wanted to sit for a long time, but I finally have a chance today, how can I let it go." Liu Ling said, got out of his car, and walked over. Dongfang Shuo hurriedly held the car door with his own hands, and when Liu Ling got into the car, he stepped down and pulled the door close.
"My car is also a bit famous in Chang'an, but not everyone can get it. Lord, you should feel honored. ”
Liu Ling laughed: "Others can't get on, I want to go, you dare to stop me?" Don't forget, this car was bought for you by Liang Xiao......"
"It's true that Liang Xiao paid the money, but now the car is mine."
"Is there a deed of gift?"
"Uh-" Dongfang Shuo was speechless. He patted his head. "How did I forget this?"
"You've forgotten so much, and that's not all." Liu Ling chuckled, revealing a little disdain. "People often say that noble people forget things, but you are not expensive, forget things first. If you really don't have a good memory, that's fine. But you don't forget any of your money. ”
Dongfang Shuo laughed. "Master Weng, are you angry for Liang Xiao today?"
"I'm on the road, and I want justice for Liang Xiao, can't I?"
"Yes, of course." Dongfang Shuo nodded again and again. "However, Liang Xiao was whimsical and suddenly went to the Western Regions, and now there is no news, what can I do? Lord Weng, although the clairvoyance you contributed is good, it is in vain not to see the Western Regions. ”
"Your Majesty's opinion of Liang Xiao's self-proclaimed decision to go to the Western Regions?"
"I haven't seen any problems yet, so it's hard to say in the future."
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Lingliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his face was immediately worried. She grew up in conspiracy, and she knew too well the danger behind Dongfang Shuo's seemingly frivolous words.
"Lord Weng is well-informed, don't you know Mizi's flaws?"
Liu Ling's face changed and he reprimanded: "Nonsense, how can Liang Xiao be comparable to Mi Zibian's kind of courtiers who serve people with sex." ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled bitterly: "Lord Weng, a good general, is much more dangerous than the ministers who serve in Israel." ”
Liu Ling gasped, his face pale. After a while, she regained her composure and bowed to Dongfang Shuo. "Dongfang-kun, is there a solution?"
"No solution." Dongfang Shuo said again: "Even if there is a solution, Liang Xiao is thousands of miles away, and I can't reach it." ”
Liu Ling shook his head and said firmly: "No, there must be a solution." ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly: "Lord Weng said that there is a solution, then naturally there must be a solution." ”
Liu Ling glanced at Dongfang Shuo, pursed his lips, and snorted: "Liang Xiao is really blind, and he actually treats you as a close friend." ”
Dongfang Shuo laughed and said: "Lord Weng, Liang Xiao not only has no eyes, but also does not measure himself. He, his ambitions are too big, not only to make him a marquis, but also to collect all kinds of beauties in the world. I went to Yanmen, and there was one more concubine Moon in the Eastern Regions, and now I went to the Western Regions, and I don't know how many Western Regions Orchids I have to bring back. Alas, I'm really worried about his house. ”
"Humph!" Liu Ling bit his lip, and a pair of pretty eyes flashed with electricity-
