Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 326
Kanyari said: "If you don't let go of the king, this Taoist priest will be next!" Xiao Xiaosheng said: "Hey, let go quickly, they are not joking, they are really dead!" Xiao Yang still didn't listen.

Kanyari gritted his teeth and ordered: "Chop off the head of this Taoist priest!" The guard raised his knife in response.Xiao Xiaosheng shouted: "You Long! He is You Long!" The guard was stunned and stopped.

Kanyali asked: "What did you say?" Xiaoxiaosheng said: "He is Youlong. If you don't believe it, you can look at that knife. It is Youlong's unique weapon, the Jade Cutting Sword. He is here to save your king. , Doctor Zhang poisoned the medicine, if he hadn't revealed it in advance, your king would have been poisoned to death."

At this moment, King Libby let out a low growl, and spewed out a mouthful of thick phlegm.Xiao Yang let go and stood up, and stepped aside, when the guards stepped forward to capture him, they didn't resist.

Kanyali hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, you..."

Libi smiled all over his face and said with a chuckle: "It's comfortable! It's been a long time since I've been so comfortable! Chief guard, don't let go of the honored guest yet."

It was only then that Kanyari realized that Xiao Yang was using methods to force out the old phlegm accumulated in the king's throat, so he hurriedly ordered the man to loosen the shackles, and personally apologized: "It's all Kanyari's recklessness, I just had a misunderstanding , and accidentally killed Doctor Zhang."

Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "There is no manslaughter. Chief guard, you have very good eyesight. If you kill the bad guys first, if you cut off my head first, sir, it will be really manslaughter."

When I thought about this, I couldn't help but feel resentful in my heart, and said bitterly: "Sir, I am in danger, but you are indifferent?"

Xiao Yang said: "Sorry." Without time to explain, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude just now. Mr. Xiao and I took the liberty to enter the palace because we have something important to report."

Libi asked, "Are you the famous Youlong in the desert?"

Xiao Yang said: "Yes."

Li Bixi said: "You Longjun, I have heard of your name for a long time..."

Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, the minister in charge of the seal, Duo Jiaohe, led a few officials to rush in regardless of the guards' obstruction, and angrily reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. Mo Shan poured out all the soldiers of the country and declared a war against Che Shi." , Breaking through our country's border defense line in the early hours of yesterday, and now they have penetrated into the border, it is estimated that their forward Qingqi will arrive in Yecheng tomorrow night."

There was an uproar in the palace, and even King Libi looked worried.He should really be worried. The two thousand elite defenders of the royal capital have been taken by the eldest prince to the desert to meet the food team and encircle the horse thieves. The rest of the elite soldiers from various places have been recruited to Yanjin to resist the Khotanese troops that seemed to fall from the sky.

Jiaohe has no soldiers to defend, no generals to adjust, and has become an empty city. Yecheng, the gateway to the king's capital, has only [-] defenders. How can it resist the thousands of troops from Moshan?
It now appears that this series of incidents is a well-planned conspiracy in Khotan. They intentionally smack east and west, leaving Cheshi empty inside, so as to break through the capital in one fell swoop.Since the cause has something to do with the second prince Changmai, I am afraid that he also fell into the hands of the people of Khotan.

He had always loved the second prince, so he couldn't help but sigh deeply. Even though he knew there was no answer, he still asked out of nature: "Have you found Chang Mai?"

Duo Jiaohe said: "The second prince has not been found yet. However, the people who sent to the desert released the pigeons, saying that the eldest prince has been found, and he should be on his way back."

Libi sighed, "Oh, Changmai..."

Seeing the old king shed two lines of tears, Xiao Yang obviously loved his son deeply, he hesitated for a moment whether he should tell Changmai's military advisor Wu Price to instruct Dr. Zhang to poison him, suddenly Libi turned his head and said seriously: "Mr. , this king would like to ask you to be the commander in chief to lead our soldiers and civilians to resist Moshan's army."

Xiao Yang was shocked and asked: "Me?"

Libi was like an old tree suddenly revived with vitality, his eyes were bright and bright, and he said slowly: "Yes, the reputation of Youlong is enough to surpass tens of millions of troops. When the king is old, the fate of Che Shi will be determined." give it to you."

He ordered the chief guard to take out the gold medal arrow and hand it to Xiao Yang himself.

That night Xiao Yang dispatched the Royal Palace Guards to go door-to-door and forcibly recruit all men over the age of 15 and under the age of 60 to join the army.

Since Jiaohe was the capital of the king of Cheshi, most of the people living in the city were dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and craftsmen, and most of their families had strong servants.

In the Western Regions, the number of servants is the same as that of horses and camels, which is an important indicator of the owner's property.

Disturbing the whole city like this, although it caused complaints, a team of more than a thousand people was temporarily summoned.

Xiao Yang asked King Libi to open the treasury, gave each of these people two gold coins, and promised to make up ten gold coins after the enemy was defeated.

Using both soft and hard tactics, they urgently mobilized and armed more than a thousand people. They dug a trench outside the Jiaohe city wall and inside the moat overnight, and confiscated all the stone grease secretly stored by the rich.The stone fat is a dark brown viscous liquid that is produced from waterside sand and gravel and is mixed with spring water. It can be used for heating in winter and for daily lighting. Pour it into the trench and ignite it at critical moments. It can not only block The enemy's attack can also cut off the enemy's back route, making it impossible to retreat, and there is no life but death, which has achieved a considerable deterrent effect.

Xiaoxiaosheng was sent to Yecheng, and issued an order as King Libi, ordering all soldiers and civilians to withdraw from Yecheng immediately and retreat to Jiaohe.

Duo Hehe, the minister of the seal, found it incomprehensible that Xiao Yang had abandoned the danger and refused to defend.Xiao Yang explained: "Moshan's ultimate goal is to cross the river. They know that Yecheng is the gateway to the royal capital, so they must be prepared and will use all their strength to attack. With the enemy outnumbered and us outnumbered, Yecheng will eventually fall. If it cannot be defended, Yecheng is a huge blow to the morale of the chariot divisions, and it is difficult to defend Jiaohe. However, if we give up Yecheng voluntarily, it will not only make Mo Shan suspicious and unclear about our route, but also concentrate our troops to guard Jiaohe and fight the enemy in one go. .”

Dou He could not help being dubious when he heard this, but since the other party held the supreme golden medal arrow, which was equivalent to the presence of King Che Shi in person, he had no choice but to follow orders.

After a busy whole night, Xiao Yang made arrangements and sent out scouting rangers, so he felt a little tired He couldn't help showing tiredness, so he simply leaned against the city wall, hoping that the wind on the wall would wake him up.

In a daze, he actually saw Jinghong again.She was standing on the city wall, standing in the wind, her eyes moving back and forth, watching Xiao Yang.

Suddenly, a few big teardrops rolled down from her cheeks as white as jade.Xiao Yang was taken aback, and was about to call her, but her figure gradually faded away, and then a voice whispered in his ear: "Although you are not Youlong, I will still help you. You will see Heavy fog, this heavy fog will delay the progress of the Moshan cavalry, but it can only buy you a day. Whether you can save the chariots and eliminate this human war in the end depends on yourself."
