Watching Papek and his party leave with satisfaction, Lu Bu, who had been standing behind Li Shushi with Dian Wei and Xu Chu intimidating each other, finally couldn't help but speak, but before he could speak, a voice intervened.
"Fengxian, do you have any good wine with you? Mistress is going to give us extra food tonight."
Xu Chu's excited voice made both Lu Bu, who was confused, and Li Shushi, who was about to answer, laugh at the same time. Not only because of Xu Chu's honest and coquettish look, people couldn't help but smile, but also because Su Xiaololi's actions had already shown that
everything.
"Finally...it's over."
"Yes, even if they didn't want it to end like this, they had to end it after seeing Brother Fengxian's martial arts skills."
After reaching some secret agreements, Li Shushi arranged a friendly martial arts match. The two parties participating in the competition were Lu Bu, the number one general of the Bingzhou Army, against Aldashir, the opponent who claimed that he did not have much martial arts skills.
Although Aldashir still wanted to hide his strength, when he was slapped twice by Lu Bu and his father and brother were stopped by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he found out with tears that if he continued
If he keeps pretending, then Li Shushi will definitely not mind letting him fall directly on this land, even if the two parties have just reached a verbal agreement.
Sure enough, compared with the opponent who holds a large army, the dozen or so people on our side are really not enough to fill the gap between the opponent's teeth.
After weighing the strength comparison between the two parties, Ardashir finally had to tear off his disguise and truly show his full strength to outsiders for the first time. In addition to his father Papek, the people who followed Papek
Everyone stared in stunned silence at the young man who fought with Lu Bu in a decent manner. The young man who everyone thought was knowledgeable but sparse in martial arts.
Of course, Aldashir, who was competing in the field, was also feeling huge waves in his heart. This was not because the opponent he was fighting was so powerful. Although Lu Bu's strength did make Aldashir feel powerless.
feeling, but this was somewhat expected by him. After all, Lu Bu's reputation had spread in the Western Regions after these battles between the coalition forces and the Xianbei people. What really surprised him was standing there and looking at the two people with a smile.
Li Shushi in competition.
Just as his father and their former ally leader said, that seemingly ordinary guy was actually an extremely dangerous existence. He didn't believe that the other party's request for Lu Bu to compete with him was really to kill him.
But the other party saw through the disguise that he had hidden for more than ten years after just meeting him once. This kind of vision...
Because he did not know the existence of such cheating as time travellers, the young Aldashir obviously had a high opinion of Li Shushi's insight, and someone who had a similar view to him was Papek, who was quite familiar with Aldashir.
, and he was once again glad that he adjusted his plan in time, otherwise he would be the one who would die if he entered Li Shushi's territory.
At the same time, Papek suddenly had more confidence in Li Shushi's proposal.
Generally speaking, Ardashir, a young man with a force potential of 92 and a command potential of 90, is comparable to Zhang Jia and Cao Ren in terms of martial arts, and seems to be slightly worse than Xu Huang, which means there is still a lot of room for improvement.
.But if these people really fight against each other, even if Xu Huang wants to win, it will not be easy.
Although Aldashir's martial arts skills are varied and he likes to use some unexpected moves to attack, which seems to be taking a strange route, but for Li Shushi who often observes high-level battles, his own strength is not discussed for the time being.
, but his vision has reached a considerable level, so he can clearly see that the real core of Aldashir's martial arts lies not in offense, but in defense - yes, in the case of solid defense, using unexpected methods of the enemy
way of counterattack.
This kind of martial arts can easily cause people who are not familiar with him to suffer a big loss when facing an opponent of the same level, but if he faces an opponent who can beat his defense to pieces and be full of loopholes, then he will also suffer a big loss.
It will be a very ugly loss.
This is why Li Shushi believes that Aldashir has a certain chance of winning even if he faces Xu Huang or even Taishi Ci. However, if the opponent is replaced by Zhang Liao or Huang Zhong, there is no need to dispatch an absolutely crushing existence like Lu Bu.
Chances of winning.
After a hearty battle, Lu Bu went crazy again. With one bow and three arrows in the heavy snowstorm, three bird's nests in the distant woods became victims of his performance. As for Lu Bu's move, even if it was a hand,
Peck's calm and sophisticated face also showed admiration and surprise. It can be said that every time Li Shushi
The first time Lu Bu was needed to complete a deterrent mission, Xiaoqiang's shoes always gave Li Shushi many unexpected surprises, which made Li Shushi have to start to wonder whether the bloodline of Xiaoqiang's shoes concealed the blood of the protagonist. Otherwise, why would he always like to play "
The tiger's body shook." Then all the famous generals worshiped him one after another.
Oddly enough, less than half a day after bidding farewell to Papek and Ardashir, the snowstorm stopped. Although the snow on the ground was still the biggest obstacle to the march, compared with the need to fight against the violent snowstorm
The weather is now considered very good marching conditions.
Of course, the most important thing is that after confirming the safety of Chigu City, Li Shushi no longer has to rush on the road so hurriedly.
In this way, after nearly a week of arduous trek, Li Shushi was finally able to see the wall of Wusun King City in the distance.
Compared with the Chigu City before leaving, the current Chigu City may be more appropriately called Black Valley City or Chigu Black City. The city walls are covered with burnt black marks of large and small shapes as well as some obvious traces of temporary reinforcement.
It is said that although the outer wall of Chigu Castle has not fallen down, it looks like it is crumbling from the outside.
However, Li Shushi, who has experienced several offensive and defensive battles, still knows very well that he cannot judge whether a city wall will be breached just by its appearance, because many times the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city may be more important than the solidity of the city wall.
The coalition forces that split off to pursue the defeated Xianbei army have not yet returned. Presumably it is the result of the delay by the Queen Mother or the Queen of Wusun. After all, if they returned victoriously only to find that their hometown was already crumbling or even captured, that would be detrimental to their morale.
The blow caused would be unprecedented, and if they were to be attacked by Zoroastrian elites, the three noble women might need to consider that they would become trophies for the enemy to publicize their illustrious military exploits.
However, just when Li Shushi was happy because he could finally confirm with his own eyes that Chigu City had not fallen into the enemy's hands, he suddenly found that the faces of Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Yan Xing and others who came out of Chigu City to greet him were very unhappy.
nice.
"Um...what happened?"
From the time when he followed Zhang Jiao's volunteers to fight against the alien invasion until now, Li Shushi, as a not-so-qualified soldier, has seen a lot of life and death situations, so his mental endurance has already been improved.
He got a lot of training, and I believe that the same is true for others, including Zhao Yun, who usually shows sentimental eyes.
Of course, Li Shushi is also very clear that his heart is not as hard as he imagined, because his so-called hardness is because he has never experienced the pain of losing the people closest to him. After all, even those personal guards who often get along with him day and night, for
No matter how sentimental Li Shushi felt about their deaths at the time, he would soon recover and not last too long, because the relationship between them was just good friends at best, without the feeling that would be unforgettable.
In fact, it is almost the same for other people. For close personal guards, while providing pensions, they may also visit and take care of their parents, widows and children from time to time. But for ordinary soldiers? They can give you enough
Pensions are already considered the most benevolent and righteous, but Li Shushi
In Bingzhou, there is also a policy of giving priority to the children of military martyrs to enter rural schools for free, which is enough to be regarded as a commendable benevolent policy. From this, we can see that most of the time, human beings have a relatively indifferent attitude towards death.
Because the living need to move on and not stay at a certain point.
Because once a living person does this, he is actually dead.
However, things do look a little different today.
Moreover, Li Shushi quickly noticed that there was no figure of the Ban family and his son in the crowd that greeted him. What happened to someone or a few of them? If this is really the case, then it would be a huge blow to Li Shushi's strategy for the Western Regions.
of blow.
And just when Li Shushi was feeling uneasy, Zhao Yun also spoke with a solemn face:
"Lord... In order to stop the Zoroastrian troops who wanted to rush into the city, Ban Gui suddenly led his troops to the outside of the city gate. Although he cut off the enemy's troops and allowed the city gate to be closed successfully, he and his followers
But all of his nearly three hundred soldiers..."
Even if he did not attend the scene in person, Li Shushi could still feel the hardship of that battle. As a force comparable to the most elite Gandhara Army in Kushan, the strength of the Skitarii Army is obviously strong enough. And just think about Chigu City.
The sudden attack of more than 20,000 Gandhara troops shows how critical the situation was at that time.
"Mr. Ban... Mr. Ban, is he okay now?"
Publicly and privately, these are the things that Li Shushi is most concerned about now, because the other party is not only a kind old man whom he trusts quite a lot, but more importantly, as the Protector of the Western Regions Prefecture destined by Li Shushi, Ban Fu has
Too many things have been entrusted to me.
"It's not too good. Although the descendants of the Ban family are used to life and death, Ban Gui can be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country. For the Ban family, it is a worthy death. It's just that Xiping has always blamed himself. In fact, I don't think so in my heart.
idea if
If it wasn't my negligence, how could I allow those strangers to take advantage of it? It's ridiculous that I am in the capital, claiming to see through all lies, but I didn't expect that when I came here to the Western Region, I still fell into other people's ways.
It’s really ridiculous and sad.”
It can be seen that this incident also dealt a big blow to Xu Rong. Obviously the Zoroastrian Skitarii gave the two old generals a fatal blow when they were most proud. Even if Li Shushi had not received some
The bad rumors left a certain amount of manpower in Chigu City. Maybe now he should consider how to regain Chigu City.
To take a step back, even if the Queen Mother of Wusun had some hidden tricks to keep Chigu City safe, the impact it would have would probably be more than just a simple matter of the Han people losing their say in Wusun.
However, if these two veteran generals, especially Ban Fu, are allowed to remain depressed like this, it will obviously not be good news for Li Shushi. But how can he let Ban Fu get out of the shadow caused by this defeat?
PS: Today I accidentally found a book called "Love Valve" (which is a work by a fan of ours, but this thing changes often, and I don't know what the standard is). Although the text is bumpy to read (because I was once given three pieces of it.
(I have eaten crabs on the table), but the story is quite interesting, so I forgot to eat and sleep for one day, and I think it will be the same for the remaining few days. After all, it is also a 250W+ novel. If there is a break in the past few days, it is probably not ours.
