Liang Xiao shook his head firmly and vetoed it. "No, you have to stay in charge of Daban's defensive mission."

Li Danghu was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "A Xiao, I am very grateful for your trust. But I was frustrated first and I may not be able to convince the public. Once people's hearts are unstable and they lose Daban, what should I do?"

"You have to have confidence in yourself. It is not your fault to lose Kucha. I am the one who has the greatest responsibility to be held accountable." Liang Xiao stood up, pressed his hands on Li Danghu's shoulder, and signaled him to sit down. "You have any concerns, I know very well. I will explain it to the soldiers. In the past few days of training, I believe everyone has seen your abilities. You are better at defending the city than me."

Li Danghu was very grateful. "Did you have already made plans?"

Liang Xiao smiled. He had indeed thought about it for several days. From the moment he learned that Kucha might be out of security, he was considering these issues.

Li Danghu felt warm in his heart. He understood how heavy the burden on Liang Xiao’s shoulders was, and he also understood why Liang Xiao had only said it now. This was to give him time to establish his prestige among the soldiers so that he could take over the command smoothly.

"Since you have made a decision, I have nothing to say, just make one suggestion: considering the limited military strength, you should give priority to attacking Wutugu and attack Jiaohe City when appropriate."

Liang Xiao agreed. He had planned so too. Jiaohe City is the King of Cheshi, and its defensive power is relatively strong. Even if he wins Jiaohe City, he cannot defend it without enough troops. It is better to attack Wutugu directly. Wutugu is located in the north of the mountain, far from the battlefield, and has a slack defense. He has a greater chance of successful surprise attacks, and it is also conducive to defense after the capture.

Liang Xiao brought Li Danghu to the workshop behind the official office. The workshop was in full swing, and the craftsmen were busy in groups of three or five, busying their own affairs. Although it was winter, they were still sweating profusely, and they were not as shirtless as people. They waved their axes, swords and saws, and worked hard. The sound of chopping, knocking, and sharpening were endless. The ground was stacked in an orderly manner with the made parts and semi-finished products, arrows, swords and spears, and shields.

Li Danghu was surprised. He knew that there was a workshop behind the official office, but he didn't expect that the workshop was so large, there were so many craftsmen, and so efficient.

Liang Xiao called Alpha and Beta and handed over the dominance of the equipment workshop to Li Danghu. He told Alpha that Li Danghu is a family of cinema and he is very familiar with crossbows. With his assistance, the trial production of crossbows will soon be on track.

Alpha was overjoyed. She suffered a lot in the past two days. Liang Xiao previously said that the trial production of crossbows could be slowed down first, but now the situation has changed. The crossbows had to be put on the work schedule again. In order to solve the accuracy of the crossbow machine, she was almost driven crazy.

After the discussion was decided, Liang Xiao sent someone to call Xie Guanglong.

Xie Guanglong rushed over with a helmet and strode, sweating and steaming. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted carelessly: "Prince, what's the matter with me? Are you going to fight?"

"I'm looking for you, of course there's something big." Liang Xiao laughed. He signaled Xie Guanglong to sit down and paced back and forth a few steps. "In the past two days, Li Danghu has been responsible for the training. What do you think of him?"

Xie Guanglong grabbed his messy beard and praised: "After all, he is General Li's son. It's not something that we rough people can compare with. I, Xie, said nothing, convinced in one sentence."

In addition to snowboards, nail shoes and tsampa, Liang Xiao also brought a lot of ropes. When climbing the cliff, the nearest ones were flew, and the far ones were shot with arrows, and then let the lightest Sigma crawl over first, fix the rope head, and then pass it in turn. Although it was hard and dangerous, it also passed many dangerous peaks that could not be passed.

Braving the severe cold and unpredictable weather, crossing the peaks and passing through the valleys, Liang Xiao and others continued to move forward in the canyon.

The Right Xian King returned to Daban City again, and his majesty became even more powerful.

King Mo of Cheshi and followed King Julin to greet each other. Seeing the pride on the faces of the accompanying generals, they guessed their bulging waist bags, and their hearts were filled with envy and jealousy. However, they did not dare to show any of them. They could only force their faces to smile, and said insincere congratulations, but their hearts were bleeding.

This time, the Cheshi paid the most for the Youxian King to send troops, almost giving the whole country a helping hand, but they were not worthy of their share when robbing Kucha.

But he had no choice, who made the Huns strong and the Che Shi weak? The strong prey on the weak is God's rule.

The Right Xian King set up a camp in Daban City and ordered King Julin and King Cheshi Wang to reply. When he learned that there was nothing abnormal in Daban City in the past two months since he left, he smiled and glanced at Dongfang Shuo intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm also worried that he will run away."

The Hun generals laughed, and many people turned their attention to Dongfang Shuo, with a bit of joke. They often felt that they were not very clear about the Han people. They envy their wealth and despise their cowardice. They were the same for Dongfang Shuo, they were willing to listen to Dongfang Shuo chatting, and they hated the condescending arrogance.

However, in the face of Dongfang Shuo's condescending arrogance, they really had no choice. In terms of figure, they could not compare with Dongfang Shuo. In terms of action, no one dared to challenge Dongfang Shuo. It is not a loss for strength, and everyone understands this principle. At this moment, when the Right Xian Wang ridicule Liang Xiao, they naturally have to laugh.

Che Shiwang was a little surprised. He had never seen Dongfang Shuo before. He was very curious about this tall young man who was wearing Chinese style clothes.

Dongfang Shuo looked dissatisfied. "I told you that he would not escape. He would only sharpen his knife and wait for you to stretch your head over."

"Then let's take a good look at how good his knife is." The Right King did not think it was offended, and his smile became brighter. "Mr. Dongfang, why not do this. Write him a letter and ask him to hand over the Daban Fortress. I respect him as a hero, save his life and let him leave, and never make things difficult for 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 felt a stir and said reluctantly: "I can write it to you, but if he listens, don't give you too much hope."

The Youxian King laughed and showed some pride. After being under house arrest for Dongfang Shuo for so long, this was the first time Dongfang Shuo agreed to do things for him. This was a good start.

In front of the Huns, Dongfang Shuo wrote a letter in a scattered manner. The Right Xianwang was afraid that he would reveal his military information, so he specially asked someone to read it, but he did not find any problems, so he sent him to the fortress.

The letter was delivered to Li Danghu. After reading only a few lines of words, Li Danghu understood. The big stone that had been hanging in his heart fell to the ground, and he felt relaxed all over.

"Dongfang Shuo is in your camp?"—
