Li Danghu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Ah Xiao, I am grateful for your trust.But I was frustrated first, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people.Once people's hearts are unstable and they lose Tasaka, how can it be good" "You have to have confidence in yourself.It's not your fault that Qiuzi lost, you have to be held accountable, and I am the one who is most responsible. ”Liang Xiao stood up, pressed his hands on Li Danghu's shoulders, and motioned for him to sit down."
You have concerns, I know very well, I will make it clear to the soldiers.In the past few days of training, I believe everyone has seen your ability.Defend the city, you are better than me. ”Li Danghu was grateful."
Did you already have a plan," Liang Xiao smiled.He had indeed been thinking about it for days.From the moment he learned that Guizi might not be in danger, he was thinking about these issues.Li Danghu's heart warmed.He understood the weight of the burden on Liang Xiao's shoulders, and he also understood why Liang Xiao waited until now to speak.This is to give him time to establish his prestige among the soldiers, so that he can smoothly take over the command."
Now that you've made a decision, I don't have anything to say, just one suggestion: considering the limited number of troops, you should give priority to attacking Tugu and then capture Jiaohe City when the time is right."
Liang Xiao agreed.He had intended to do the same.Jiaohe City is the King City of Cheshi, and its defensive strength is relatively stronger.Even if he takes Jiaohe City, he can't hold it without enough troops, so it is better to directly attack the advantageous Wutu Valley.Wutu Valley is in the north of the mountain, far away from the battlefield, the defense is lax, the chance of success of the surprise attack is greater, and it is also conducive to defense after capture.Liang Xiao took Li Danghu to the workshop behind the official office, where the workshop was in full swing, and the craftsmen were in groups of three or five, busy with their own affairs.Even though it was winter, they were still sweating like rain, and they were not as good as everyone was shirtless.Swing the axe, knife, saw, and work hard.Chopping, tapping, grinding.And so on.On the ground are orderly stacked with made parts and semi-finished products, arrows, knives, spears, shields, everything is complete.Li Danghu was surprised.He knew that there was a workshop behind the official office, but he didn't expect the workshop to be so large, with so many craftsmen and so high efficiency.Liang Xiao called Alpha and Beta and handed over the leadership of the equipment workshop to Li Danghu.He told Alpha that Li Danghu was a family of shooters, and he was very familiar with the bow and crossbow.With his assistance, the trial production of the crossbow was soon on the right track.Alpha Daijo.She has suffered a lot in the past two days.Liang Xiao said before that the trial production of the crossbow could be slowed down for a while, but now the situation has changed.The crossbow had to be put on the work agenda again.In order to solve the problem of the accuracy of the crossbow machine, she was driven crazy.The discussion was decided, and Liang Xiao sent someone to call Xie Guanglong.Xie Guanglong grabbed his helmet and hurried over with a meteor, sweating and steaming.As soon as he entered the door, he shouted with a big grin: "Captain, what is the matter with me, do you want to fight?"
"Looking for you, of course there is a big matter." ”Liang Xiao laughed.He motioned for Xie Guanglong to sit down.Paced back and forth a few steps."
In the past two days, Li Danghu has been in charge of drills, what do you think of him" Xie Guanglong pulled his messy beard and praised: "In the end, it is General Li's son."
It's not comparable to us rough people.My old Xie has nothing to say, in a word, I am convinced. ”"Then do you think that if you let him be responsible, can you keep Dasaka?"
"It should be no problem. ”Xie Guanglong smacked his lips."
These days, we're all looking at it.In terms of attack and defense of the city, we are not as good as him. ”"But I don't think he's enough."
Liang Xiao stared at Xie Guanglong and raised his eyebrows."
He still lacks a right-hand man."
Xie Guanglong saw that Liang Xiao's eyes were wrong, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses and grinned."
Du Wei, do you mean me haha, my old Xie has finally been promoted.Hey, no, let Li Danghu be responsible, Lieutenant, what about you" "I'm going to go out and hand over Daban City to you and Li Danghu. ”Liang Xiao waved his hand, and Sigma held a mouthful of Uzi war knife."
Can I trust you" Seeing the turtle sword, Xie Guanglong's eyes suddenly lit up.Liang Xiao has an unwritten habit that this kind of war knife is only awarded to those who can take charge of themselves, so far, in addition to Sigma, who won the archery competition, only Li Shuyun, Old Andrew and Guo Wu have obtained this war knife, and now they are all in command of the army and shoulder heavy responsibilities.Li Shuyun and old Andrew are just that, Guo Wu was originally his subordinate, but now he is coming from behind, to say that he has no idea in his heart, it is not true.However, Xie Guanglong knew that his status was humble, and he was embarrassed to say anything, so he could only grit his teeth, and he would be the first in battle, hoping to be appreciated by Liang Xiao.Now, the opportunity has finally arrived, and a Uzi war knife is in front of him."
Captain" Xie Guanglong was so excited that his face flushed, and his voice trembled.He clasped his hands into fists, as if he were saluting, and as if he couldn't wait to catch the knife."
Captain's appreciation, I always wish to smear my liver and brains, and repay me with death."
Liang Xiao put the knife in Xie Guanglong's hand and patted him on the shoulder vigorously."
Lao Xie, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold.There are so many difficulties, we have all come through together, and when King Youxian comes, we can't let him take advantage of it.Daban Castle, I'll leave it to the two of you. ”Xie Guanglong hugged the knife tightly, almost roaring."
Don't worry, my lord, the city is here."
Liang Xiao arranged the defense of Daban, leaving most of the people, only selected more than 100 mercenaries, and more than 30 dangerous beards and plough soldiers, and quietly left the Daban fortress.The fortress was located in a canyon, flanked by cliffs, and it had fallen a lot of snow and ice, making it impossible for the army to pass.But these can't help Liang Xiao.The mercenaries he brought with him were all carefully selected masters, although they were few in number, but they were all extraordinary, and they could pass through even such dangerous terrain.A few days ago, Liang Xiao was preparing for this attack.In order to be able to walk on snow and ice, he prepared not only skis but also spikes.In order to be able to replenish his energy quickly, he also consulted those Yueshi people for advice, mixing flour and oil together to make dough as dry food for the march.After the Yueshi people were defeated by the Huns, some remnants lived in Nanshan in the south of the desert and mixed with the Qiang people.They learned from the Qiang people how to use barley flour and ghee as food, somewhat similar to the tsampa eaten by Tibetans in later generations.According to them, this food is calorie-rich, easy to carry, and tastes better than jerky, especially suitable for consumption in cold areas.Liang Xiao tried it a few times, although he felt that the taste was not as good as they said, but it was indeed much easier to eat than jerky.In addition to skis, spikes and tsamba, Liang Xiao also brought a lot of rope.When climbing the cliff, the nearest one catches the rope with a fly, and the far one shoots the rope with an arrow, and then lets the lightest Sigma climb over first, fix the end of the rope, and then pass through it in turn.Although it was hard and dangerous, it also passed through many dangerous peaks that were originally impassable.Braving the cold and unpredictable weather, crossing mountain peaks and valleys, Liang Xiao and others continued to advance in the canyon.King Youxian once again returned to Daban Castle, and his majesty was even greater.Seeing the smugness on the faces of the accompanying generals, guessing their bulging pockets, his heart was filled with envy and jealousy, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, so he could only force a smile and say insincere congratulatory words, but his heart was dripping blood.This time, King Youxian sent troops, and the chariot division paid the greatest price, almost helping the country, but they didn't have their share when they robbed Qiuzi.But he can't help it, who makes the Huns strong and the chariot division weak.The law of the jungle is the rule of God.King Youxian set up a large camp in Daban Castle and ordered King Julin and King Cheshi to enter the tent and talk back.When he learned that there was nothing abnormal in Daban City in the more than two months since he left, he smiled and glanced at Dongfang Shuo intentionally or unintentionally."
I'm worried he's gone."
The Hun generals laughed, and many people turned their eyes to Dongfang Shuo, with a bit of banter.For Han Chinese, they often have a feeling that they can't speak clearly.He envied their riches and despised their cowardice.For Dongfang Shuo, they are the same, they are willing to listen to Dongfang Shuo's chat, but they also hate that kind of condescending arrogance.However, in the face of Dongfang Shuo's condescending arrogance, there was really nothing they could do.In terms of figure, they can't compare with Dongfang Shuo, and in terms of hands, no one dares to challenge Dongfang Shuo.Everyone understands this truth.At this moment, seeing the Right Sage King taunting Liang Xiao, they naturally had to laugh twice.Cheshi Wang was a little strange, he had never seen Dongfang Shuo, and he was very curious about this tall young man who was wearing Han-style clothes.Dongfang Shuo looked disappreciative."
I told you a long time ago that he wouldn't run away, he would just sharpen his knife and wait for you to stick your head out.""
Then let's take a good look and see how good his knife really is."
King Youxian didn't think it was wrong, and his smile was even brighter."
Mr.
Dongfang, why don't you write him a letter and ask him to hand over the Dasaka Fortress.I respect him as a hero, spare him a life, let him go, and never embarrass him.If he is willing to serve me, I can make him king and let him manage the countries south of the Tianshan Mountains, how about it" Dongfang Shuo's heart moved, and he said reluctantly: "I can write it to you, but if he doesn't listen, don't give you too much hope." ”King Youxian laughed, showing a little smugness.Dongfang Shuo has been under house arrest for so long, and Dongfang Shuo still agreed to do things for him for the first time.It's a good start.In front of the Huns, Dongfang Shuoyang sprinkled and wrote a letter.King Youxian was afraid that he would leak the military information, so he specially asked people to read it, but they didn't find any problems, so they were sent to the fortress.The letter was delivered to Li Danghu, and after only reading a few lines, Li Danghu understood, and the big stone that had been hanging in his heart fell to the ground with a bang, and he was relaxed:
