In the arid land of Zuqiang, the wind could make people feel a burning pain on the skin. Xu Xingyi raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and felt that Zuqiang was indeed not a place for people to live.

But since he came to Zuqiang, life here has gradually improved.

At least, in these few short months, he has built a number of water wheels in the area where Zu Qiang lives to help the farmers here irrigate their fields, and it has been quite effective.

"Mr. Xu, after the construction of this waterwheel, we finally don't have to go to the trouble of fetching water. It saves a lot of time. Thank you so much!" After discovering the benefits of the waterwheel, these farmers were delighted. Their respect for Xu Xingyi also improved his status here.

"It's just a small favor. You don't have to worry about it. You should arrange for people to watch the fields while it's still light and make more weapons."

Xu Xingyi doesn't like to waste time, not to mention that the number of arrows is relatively small now and more arrows need to be manufactured to meet the combat needs of the Zu Qiang side.

However, just the few rocket platforms that were built significantly enhanced the Qiang people's combat effectiveness.

Their strength is superior to before Xu Xingyi came here.

This was thanks to Xu Xingyi's help. They listened to him more, making Xu Xingyi's actions here smoother.

"You, stop being lazy here, go and build the chariots. The chariots are almost assembled now, and that's when we need manpower." Xu Xingyi saw someone being lazy over there and scolded them. Naturally, some of the Zu Qiang people noticed something was wrong and went to monitor the people who were building the chariots.

After all, these are things that increase the combat effectiveness of the Qiang soldiers. Many people attach great importance to them and will not allow them to be lazy.

A few days later, Xu Xingyi looked at the assembled chariot and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, now you can also go and recapture those small tribes that have been occupied nearby. With these things, you will be even more powerful."

His words were no different from heavenly sounds to the people of Zu Qiang at this time. As long as Xu Xingyi said that something should be cast, they would do their best.

Xu Xingyi was not idle either. When they attacked those small tribes, he participated in every battle, accumulating experience and helping to draw topographic maps. Sometimes he would go to the battlefield in person to help, which accelerated their pace of recovering the surrounding small tribes.

With the help of Xu Xingyi, those small tribes were no match for Zu Qiang, and almost all the tribes were brought under the jurisdiction of Zu Qiang.

"Send people to keep an eye on those small tribes to prevent them from rioting again. Report the news from there to me every once in a while, got it?"

Xu Xingyi was worried that the tribes over there would take the opportunity to rebel. After all, they had been out of the jurisdiction of Zuqiang for some time and still needed to be well managed.

"Yes!"

After the Zu Qiang soldiers left, only Xu Xingyi and Xu Wu were left in the tent. Seeing that Xu Xingyi only wanted to take revenge on Shen Qiuchi, everything he did was directed at her.

Xu Wu was very satisfied.

"I heard that Shen Qiuchi has created a new weapon..."

"Haha, so what." Xu Xingyi sneered.

"I heard that she even sent people to get information about you and said she would kill you without mercy!"

"How could I be caught so easily? Since she is unkind, don't blame me for being unfair. When she did those things, she should have thought about what she would face." Xu Xingyi stared at the sand table. This was the sand table that he asked the Zu Qiang people to spend countless time making. Blue flags surrounded Daliang. He took great pains to investigate all the strongholds and how many troops there were, and then arranged them on the sand table.

He stared at the contents on the sand table: "The current Zu Qiang has no chance of winning against Daliang. We need to add a lot of chariots and arrow platforms. Then use a small number of soldiers to operate these mechanisms to cause huge damage."

"What about that?"

"So, while we are casting mechanical weapons, we also need to train a lot of people who can operate sophisticated mechanisms."

“We are already practicing hard now…”

"You will all need these things. They will be useful when you attack Daliang, and they will also be useful when you protect your own tribe later."

Xu Xingyi persuaded them earnestly, and these Qiang soldiers were very obedient and soon mastered the skills of using these things.

At the same time, a large number of heavy mechanical devices were manufactured by foreign ethnic groups. Some of them were huge, some were light and sophisticated, and they appeared among the Zuqiang people, shocking the entire country.

"With these things, can we really attack Daliang?" Of course, there were still people who didn't dare to believe it, but they had seen the use and power of these mechanisms before. They were very lethal, and ordinary soldiers were no match for them.

"You will know all this when you go to the battlefield." Xu Xingyi smiled strangely, and then took Xu Wu to the place where the chariots were manufactured.

There are still many chariots being made here.

He knew that having mechanisms alone was not enough, and that countless chariots were needed to support these Qiang people and Daliang soldiers who did not understand military tactics and formations in order to have the strength to fight.

Therefore, the number of chariots increased again and again until Xu Xingyi felt it was enough.

After all the chariots were manufactured, Xu Xingyi began to practice on the sand table, preparing to attack Daliang.

Soon, the news of what happened in Zuqiang spread to Daliang, and many people knew about it.

Among them is Lin Shuyao, now Princess Xiao Shu.

"How could this be?"

She couldn't believe her ears and murmured to herself, unable to stay quiet any longer.

For several days, Xu Xingyi's face was all in my heart and mind, and I couldn't even sleep well.

Xu Xingyi was blinded by hatred because of her death. Now he heard that Zu Qiang, with the help of Xu Xingyi, had recovered all the surrounding tribes. There was also news that after Zu Qiang recuperated, they would make a complete move and attack Daliang.

She knew that she had to persuade Xu Xingyi to come back and not let him betray Daliang!

The Zu Qiang people are bloodthirsty and love killing. If they attack Daliang, with the chariots and weapons that Xu Xingyi helps them build, there will surely be rivers of blood.

After making up her mind, Lin Shuyao set off for the border, intending to go to Zuqiang to persuade Xu Xingyi to come back.

If...if Xu Xingyi is stubborn and really doesn't plan to come back, she will be an insider for Daliang and pass the news back. At least in the end, she hopes that her royal brother will show leniency to Xu Xingyi.

Although Lin Shuyao felt that all this was just wishful thinking, she did not stop and soon set off for the border.

Along the way, Lin Shuyao saw many people fleeing to the rear.

She stopped one of them and asked in confusion, "Madam, is there a war going on ahead? Why are you all running to the back?"

"We haven't fought yet, but there will be a war soon. If the border is unstable and we live there, what if we are killed by the people of Zuqiang? I heard that there is a powerful person in Zuqiang who has forged many mechanical chariots. With those things, the war will definitely last a long time. We don't want to stay in such a dangerous place!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she shook off Lin Shuyao's hand, grabbed her little granddaughter and walked in the opposite direction without looking back.

There were many other people who were hurrying on their way like her. It seemed that they had all fled from some villages along the border.
