Retreat from the sight of the Turks, the few people ran wildly, ran for more than ten miles, and came to a sand nest.

In the sand nest, there were several men in the same outfit waiting anxiously. When they saw several people returning, the leader pulled off the mask and asked, "How is it, have you found it?"

This person's name is Wei Fu. He was originally from the Snake Spirit Sect. Later, he joined the Secret Guard. After the Snake Spirit Sect was destroyed, his identity was also revealed. However, Dugu Jiu did not punish him, but instead entrusted him with important tasks. Among the elite sent to protect Li Mu this time, he was one of them.

"Well, I've found it, fourteen miles away from the northeast."

After hearing the report, Wei Fu got up and came to Shawan. He grabbed a masked man waiting in Shawan. He had his forehand and backhand, which was just a few big mouths.

The masked man was so furious that he was blown away. The masked face towel was slap. It was Yaji. He covered the swollen Lao Gao's cheeks and said with a grievance: "Why do you want to suck me if you find it?"

"It's you who beat us! We've gotten off the direction! We almost died in the sand sea. Who would you beat if you don't?"

In the past few days, everyone has traveled around the desert and eaten a lot of sand. They have searched for dozens of miles, but they can't find the oasis that Yaji mentioned! Seeing that the water and food they brought are almost exhausted, they have been out of the last time with a try attitude. If they can't find it again, they will go back to report their lives. It's a pity that the gods saw. Just when they were about to return, they found a piece of horse manure on the sand dunes.

This discovery made everyone ecstatic. When horses eat hay, the feces they produce are all yellow. Only by eating green grass can they extract green feces! This shows that the oasis is nearby!

Wei Fu immediately sent someone to search in the direction of horse manure. Although the traces on the desert will soon be annihilated, the traces that have just been left can still be traced!

Sure enough, after tracking a short distance, I saw the Turkic scouts... In fact, according to Tong'e's instructions, the scouts wanted to collect the horse manure and take it back to the oasis to avoid leaving their whereabouts. The scouts do this on weekdays, but today the scouts' minds are all drawn by fine wine, so they can't care about such trivial work, so they are found.

Although it was June, the night on the grassland was very cold, and the sky in the north was surging yellow clouds, as if a sandstorm was brewing.

"Has the Marquis not made up his mind yet?"

Under the strong control of the generals, Xue Yantuo attacked Dingxiang, and the news that the food channel was cut off had not spread yet. However, the generals who knew the news were very painful. They looked at the central army tent not far away, and saw that the tent was brightly lit, and a silhouette walking back and forth reflected on the tent...

Su Dingfang shook his head and sighed: "We can only wait now..."

"Oh..." The generals were worried and sighed repeatedly.

Li Mu in the central army tent knew that the situation had reached a precarious point and he had to make a decision. He was the commander of the three armies, and every decision was related to the life and death of ten thousand people, so he had no choice but to be careful. He had already made a decision. If the news had not been heard back tonight, he would have to lead his army out of the desert early tomorrow morning and compete with Xue Yantuo.

I just hope that Kucha is still there. If Kucha is still there, Li Mu will have time to open his "golden finger". No matter whether it is reasonable or not, whether it stirs up the historical process or not, let's win the war first!

The hourglass placed on the low table in the tent drips with delicate white sand silently. The fall of every grain of white sand represents the passage of time bit by bit, Xu, Hai, Zi...

Li Mu waited until midnight, and there was no sound in the military camp. The soldiers fell asleep with anxiety, the galaxy was blocked, and the mountains were quiet...

Li Mu was sleepless and stared at the desert map on the wall, as if he was trying to dig out Tong'e!

Suddenly, a rapid sound of footsteps approached from afar. Li Mu suddenly turned around and saw the guard lifting the curtain and putting two dusty people in.

The leader knew Wei Fu, the captain of the secret guard. Li Mu's heart was obviously beaten, and he took two steps in three steps to meet him. He said urgently: "Have you found it?"

Wei Fu's cracked mouth slightly grinned, and he nodded and said, "Fortunately, I'm not humiliating my fate."

"Very good!"

"Marty!" Wei Fu poured a basin of cold water at this time and said, "I have found that oasis, but the distance is farther than expected, and it is 120 miles deep into the desert."

"Oh..." Li Mu's smile indeed became a lot. The time spent on marching in the desert was not proportional to the distance. It exceeded the physical limitations. Walking one more mile would be extremely desperate.

Wei Fu seemed to be particularly dismissed, so he paused and added: "And on the way back, he saw huge sandstorms forming in the west, which might soon sweep across the desert."

"Well..." Li Mu nodded, his expression becoming more and more serious. He knew too well about the power of the sandstorm. When he was in elementary school in his previous life, the sandstorm came and rolled the entire city into it. When the sandstorm left, there was a layer of mud on the windows. When the sandstorm rose, the sky was dark, the sand and stones flew, and people were rolled in the sandstorm. I could only expect God to be pitiful and not take away his life...

And that's still on the grassland, where the desert is covered with yellow sand, and the power of the sandstorm is more than doubled. Entering the desert in such weather is simply seeking death. Could it be that this world really has a heaven of immortality and is blessing the Turks? Want to leave a seed for the Turks?

In the shelter pond, I saw Turkic people drinking wildly, and their crazy appearance was far beyond my expectations. Tong'e was a little worried, thinking that she was a little unlucky? She was hesitating whether to reduce the carnival to one day to avoid major events...

But after dark, he heard the wind outside, and gradually the wind became heavier and heavier, and the sound of sand and gravel hitting the tent. Tong E hurried out and saw it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "God of Changsheng is blessed, sandstorm is coming!"

Once a sandstorm comes, it will last at least two or three days. For two or three days, they will be absolutely safe. Tong'e doesn't believe that anyone can cross the sandstorm, break into the desert, and appear in front of him.

So he gave up the idea of ​​shortening the carnival, turned around and entered the tent, and also let go of his heart and drink happily.

"I asked why the Khan suddenly announced the carnival for three days? It turned out that he had a clever plan and knew that he was going to scrape a sandstorm!" The drunk nobles toasted Tong'e while flattering him.

Tong'e said intently that I would be fine if I had that ability. But I decided not to tell the truth. I drank the wine that the nobles respected and said with a reserved look: "For generals, we must naturally understand astronomy and geography. I watched the astrological signs at night and saw that there was this sandstorm. I thought that there was nothing wrong with it. It would be better for the children to have fun!"

"The Khan is such a god!" After hearing this, the nobles were so impressed that they all knelt down to Tong'e and said, "I am revived by the Khan, and I must be with the Khan!"

Tong'e couldn't stop smiling. She was about to take all the credit, but then she thought about it and changed the words to her mouth: "Hey, what's the virtue of me? It's all forever to be blessed by God!"

"Scared! It's really a blessing from the Heaven of Changsheng!" The nobles agreed and said excitedly: "The grassland is the home of our Turkic athletes. The Heaven of Changsheng naturally protects us. It seems that the destiny is really sweating!"

"Hahaha..." Tong'e wanted this effect, and picked up the wine bowl and suggested to everyone: "Come on, let's respect the immortals together, thank God for your blessing! If you can achieve great achievements in the future, you will definitely live up to the immortals!"

"Respect for the immortals!" The Turkic nobles had already drunk almost the same drink. At this time, someone suggested to respect a dog, and they would follow with pleasure.

After respecting the Heaven of Changsheng, Tong E filled another bowl and raised it high and said, "With the Heaven of Changsheng, the final victory must belong to us! You all drink with joy. After the wind stops, we will break out of the shelter pond and chase the group of stray dogs!"

"Ao!" The Turkic nobles howled excitedly, as if they had already won.

The Turks, from Tong'e, had already dreamed of victory. At this moment, the wine was particularly fragrant and the horse-headed fiddle was particularly pleasant. Even the sound of the wind and sand slapping on the tent seemed to be accompaniment for them...

Tang army camp, central army tent.

Li Mu paced back and forth a few steps. Since he knew everything he should know, there was no need to hesitate. He made up his mind!

He quickly stopped and ordered his left and right in a deep voice: "Send the order, the army will make meals at the third anniversary, and set off at the fourth anniversary!"

The commander waited for a night, and finally waited for the order, and his expression was refreshed, he was about to go out to convey it.

He was stopped by Li Mu and said, "Tell the military ration officer and let the soldiers open up for a full meal!"

"Yes!" The commemorative officer responded and hurried out to pass the commemoration.

With Li Mu's order, the barracks became lively. The officers called the fire to make a fire and cook. In less than half an hour, the aroma of the food filled the entire camp.

"I'm not dreaming, am I? Why is it so fragrant?" The sleeping soldier was caught by the fragrance of the food without the officer blew the trumpet of getting up.

"If you have meat, you must have meat!" The soldiers sat up, sniffed hard, their saliva dripped, and their stomachs were thunderous.

People are iron and rice and steel, and they are hungry even if they don’t eat for a meal. These officers and soldiers are half hungry and half full since they enter the grassland, and are even hungry in the middle of the night. If they continue like this, their combat effectiveness will soon be greatly reduced.

"Get up!" The generals wanted their soldiers to sleep for a while, but they didn't wait when they saw this. They ordered in a deep voice: "Pack up your weapons and armor, and after dinner, set off lightly!"

The soldiers were surprised to hear the fate. The so-called light-loading means only carrying weapons and armor, and having to throw away all bedding, blankets, pots, and jars that are not related to combat. Usually, this only occurs in two situations: one is to chase the enemy desperately, and the other is to escape desperately. Both situations are very unusual.

In the shelter pond, the Turkic Khan Tong'e was eating meat and drinking with a group of Turkic nobles. At this time, the sandstorm outside became bigger and bigger. Tong'e was enjoying the flattery of the Turkic nobles. At this time, he felt that the wine and meat were particularly delicious, so he couldn't help but drink a few more bowls. After all, he was a little old and felt dizzy until the middle of the night, so he asked someone to help himself go back to sleep.

The Turkic nobles hurriedly sent the khan to the door of the tent, and Tong E waved his hands to everyone in a drunken state and said, "You continue, I'll go back and have a nap, and then let's continue fighting!"

"Khan just rest, we are waiting for you!" The Turkic nobles watched Tong E leave, and couldn't wait to go back and continue drinking indiscriminately.

"I was worried along the way, and I had to open one eye when I was sleeping. I could finally have a good sleep!" This was the only thought that flashed through Tong'e's mind.

The carnival was still going on, and Tong E was not here, so the Turkic nobles were even more relaxed. For a moment, the tent was filled with wine and laughter, making me feel happy. The Turkic soldiers below were not willing to be outdone. Many of them had been drunk and ran out of the tent and vomited completely. When they came back, they continued to drink wildly. The typhoon sheltered was so drunk!

...

In the Tang army camp, all the soldiers had been awakened. At this time, the food was ready, and the whole army began to eat.

The soldiers who had been eating for half a month and a half, saw a pot of rice and large pieces of barbecue, which was even more close than seeing relatives! No one was worried about it at this moment, and they were swallowing it hard, fearing that they would eat slowly and let others snatch their portions away.

There are skills in the military to eat. It’s fine if one person can’t divide a bowl. If there is still a bowl left in a bowl, you must not serve too much in the first bowl. Otherwise, if you haven’t finished a bowl, you will have to serve the second bowl.

Therefore, the correct way is to serve a small bowl first, and then finish it quickly before serving the second bowl. This will definitely be much more than serving a large bowl. After eating, you can't catch the second bowl.

When the experienced veterans served the second bowl, their meal speed suddenly decreased. They held the rice bowls, crowded together in groups, and secretly started to discuss: "We were called up to have dinner in the middle of the night, and they were still so full. It seemed that they were going to fight."

"Just fight! I've been waiting for so long, I'll go home early after the fight."

Obviously, in everyone's hearts, the Turks were already selling their first bids and just waiting to kill them.

"Yes! Yes!" The others nodded and said, "We ran to this prairie. Isn't it just for war? What's the point of not letting go, let's fill our stomachs first!"

After all the soldiers of the battalion had eaten, they came to the camp's hollow space under the command of the officers to gather.

After all the soldiers gathered, there was a silence in the hollowed-out area of ​​the camp, only the whistling wind passed by everyone's heads.

On the high platform in the center of the camp, there were several fires made of firewood. The strong wind blew the flames and the strings of Mars were swept into the sky.

All the generals were fully armed and stood solemnly on the high platform. When the soldiers saw Shangguan's appearance, they were all solemn and did not dare to breathe. The atmosphere in the camp was extremely solemn.
