"Another place?" Wang Jian looked at his father in confusion, "Where can we go?"

Wang Xiao's finger slid slowly on the map, slid over the green in his eyes, slowly entered a patch of earthy yellow, and then continued to move forward, but the place where his finger pointed was blank, where the Central Plains people had never been.

"Father!" Wang Jian raised his head sharply and looked at Wang Xiao, his eyes full of shock.

Wang Xiao stood up, walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, turned around, and looked at Wang Jian, "Son, we are desperate now, we have lost this war, not only now, but also in the future. Don't say I can't go back, even if I can, I can't go back!"

"Why?" Wang Jian asked in surprise.

"Son, this time the war has failed, someone needs to be responsible, Li Xin is dead, who else is more suitable than me?" Wang Xiao let out a long sigh, "Besides, for the defeat of this war, I do have an unshirkable responsibility, if I can capture Shannan County on time, I will not let Helanxiong run away, and there will be no final dilemma, if this time the battle is won, then everyone will naturally be happy, and the king will pretend not to remember this matter, but now that I have failed, even General Li is gone, do you think that even if we return to Xianyang, the king will let me go?" No, it's not just me, it's a big family. So, even if we can go back, we must not go back."

"So, what about our family in Xianyang?" Large drops of sweat oozed from Wang Xiao's forehead.

Wang Xiao showed a look of regret on his face, "I can't care about them, as long as I'm still here, our Wang family will still be there."

"Father!" Wang Jian looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief.

"From tomorrow onwards, the sweepers will continue to send out, but they will only go out, not back, and they will all assemble at Raduri, and you will then rush there and take them with you, across the desert, all the way north, to another place where they can live." WANG Xiaodao.

"Dad, what about you?" Wang Jian looked at his father and keenly grasped the loophole in his father's words.

"There are two of us, father and son, one of us has to stay and attract the attention of the Han army!" Wang Xiao laughed, "Now opposite us, Zhou Yuan, Tian Dan, Kumamoto, that one is not an old fox, how can it be so easy to hide from them and calmly slip away under their noses?"

"Then I'll stay to attract their attention, father, you take the troops first, and I'll catch up with you again!" Wang Jian said loudly.

Wang Xiao laughed and reached out to pat his son's shoulder, "Son, do you think it's easy to take people across the desert?" That's also a life of nine deaths, not to mention that we don't know anything about the desert, that is, we have crossed the desert, and we may face extremely terrible enemies, your father and I are old, our energy is not good, and our bodies and bones are not as good as before, and we can withstand such a difficult long journey."

"Enemies on the other side of the desert?"

"Yes, our march this time, the first thing we face is the harsh environment of the desert, we don't know anything about it is our biggest weakness, if we are lucky enough to cross the desert, then there will definitely be enemies, son, remember ten years ago, we defeated the Huns?"

"Of course I do."

"When the Huns were defeated, there were many tribes cornered, there were many Xiongnu tribes, into the desert, marching to the far north, if they did not die in the desert, ten years, I am afraid they have taken root and sprouted, branches. You're just afraid you're going to face the Huns again. My father is old, he can't go that far, and he doesn't want to bury his bones in a foreign land, you young people are energetic, and you can just go out and break through, maybe it's another world."

"Dad, you ......" Listening to his father's obviously death-willed words, Wang Jian's face was extremely ugly.

Wang Xiao smiled and patted his son's shoulder, "Who has not died since ancient times, your father and I are old, and I don't have the face to live, Qin State, the king treats me well, I have nothing to repay, and I can only repay him with death, you take 30,000 elites and all the grain and grass in the army, as well as all the mules and horses, I take the rest of the people to attract the idea of the Han army, as long as you step into the desert along the way, the back road will be safe, the Han army will not risk unknown dangers into the desert, you need to deal with it, It's just the environment of the desert and the unknown enemy on the other side of the desert."

Wang Jian held his head in his hands and whimpered in pain.

At the head of Dayan City, a small table was placed on the city tower, on which were placed a few exquisite side dishes and a pot of wine, but the two of them were Zhou Yuan and Tian Dan. It was the dignified general Kumamoto who poured wine on one side, and indeed, in front of these two people, Kumamoto only had the share of a waiter.

"It's a pity that there are no silverback fish in Dayan Lake, I haven't been fishing for a few days." Zhou Yuan was very sorry to pick up a small fish, "The pond in this city raises a lot of bad taste."

Tian Dan laughed, "Zhou Yuan, you are a martial artist, and now you are still hypocritical, when you are fighting, some of them are good to eat, do you still pick and choose?"

"Now that I don't fight, I will nourish my body, move my qi, and when I am old, I will naturally not get tired of eating, I will not get tired of being fine, and I will live for a few more years!" Zhou Yuan laughed.

"Don't worry, it seems that in a few days, you will be able to go fishing in Dayan Lake again. The Qin people won't be able to jump for a few days!" Kumamoto on the side smiled and drank wine for the empty cups of the two.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid that the Qin people are gone, and he won't have to fish!" Tian said with a monotonous smile: "The Qin people don't have much food and grass, maybe they are casting a big net to catch fish at the moment, and it would be good to keep a few shrimp at that time."

Kumamoto straightened his waist, stared at the Qin army camp that was a little blurry in the distance, and frowned: "Fight or not fight, retreat and not retreat, what is Wang Xiao's idea to fight again?" Spending it with us like this? Wang Xiao should know that when Zhou Lao Fu and them arrive, his end will be coming!"

"It's not that he doesn't want to retreat, it's that he can't!" Zhou Yuan snorted: "As soon as Li Xin was defeated, his retreat was cut off, and he retreated, just hitting Zhou Laofu's knife headlong, in the prairie, Wang Xiao's 50,000 army against 20,000 cavalry, where is the chance of winning?" He Lanxiong suffered Li Xin's big loss, and Zhou Laofu would still be fooled like that? Don't look at this guy who doesn't hum or ha, the war is shady!"

"Then Wang Xiao is here with other ideas?" Kumamoto thought for a moment, "Will he go to fight Pioneer City and Tongwan City?" The big camp outside is just an empty camp?"

"Impossible." Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "How far is it from here to Pioneer City, Tongwan City?" And if you go, then you can be sure to take these two cities? There are indeed not many troops left behind in these two cities, but don't forget, these two cities are simple military villages, and the purpose of his storage is for war, although it is small, the difficulty of fighting is not smaller than attacking Dayan City. What if they take these two cities? Go to the three counties of Liaodong, do they have that time? Guo Lao Fuke is coming soon. Can he run on two legs more than four?"

"And what does he want to do?" Kumamoto shook his head in disunderstanding.

Tian Dan smiled and said: "What he wants to do, I can't guess for a while, but as long as he moves, he will show clues, with clues, we can find out the problem, find out his purpose, you know, although Wang Xiao has suffered repeated defeats in recent years, but he is still a very capable general, he will never sit still!"

"That's right, Kumamoto, send more scouts to find out Wang Xiao's movements." Zhou Yuan said with a smile: "The scenery in this city is good, come, Brother Tian, let's have another drink, your son and his family will come here to reunite with you soon, and the whole family will be reunited, this is a gratifying thing."

"When we are in this position, we can spend our old age in peace after failure, which is a great achievement, losing to Gao Yuan, I am convinced!" Tian Dan raised the wine glass, clinked glasses with Zhou Yuan, and then drank it all, put down the wine glass, and turned his head to look in the direction of Qi Guo, "Brother Zhou, speaking of which, I really miss a few grandchildren in my family, I think back then, I was busy with state affairs, and I rarely got along with them, and several grandchildren were very scared when they saw me, and said that they were not ashamed, but now I can't remember their appearance."

"There will be a chance to get along in the future! Make up for your regrets as a grandfather!" Zhou Yuan burst out laughing.

Outside the city, next to Dayan Lake, Wang Jian knelt on one knee, "Dad, I'm leaving."

"Go, go, go to Ladury, wait for the troops to concentrate there one by one, and when the assembly is completed, don't stop for a moment, start immediately, my side will attack Dayan City, attract their attention, so that you can go further, remember, as long as you step into the desert, you will be safe, and the Han army will not come to chase you again."

"Yes, Dad!" Wang Jian knelt on the ground and did not get up, his face was tilted, and tears flowed down his face.

"Let's go, let's go, this time, you and my father and son will never meet again, remember, after gaining a foothold over there, marry more wives and have more sons, and let my Wang family spread out again!" Wang Xiao smiled and bent down to pick up Wang Scissors.

"Dad, when I gain a foothold over there and run a world, I will definitely bring the troops back again." Wang Jian clenched his fists tightly and said loudly.

"No, never come back." Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't have such unrealistic extravagant hopes, because when that time comes, you will find that you are facing an invincible behemoth. Remember, if you go, you should never come back. On that side, let my Wang family spread out again."

"Son remembered!" Wang Jian held back his tears, turned around and strode away.

Listening to the dense sound of horses' hooves outside gradually moving away, Wang Xiao couldn't help but burst into tears, and took a few steps to chase out, but finally stopped.

In Dayan City, Kumamoto came to the temporary residence of Tian Dan and Zhou Yuan with a large stack of military newspapers, "Two bosses, there are weirdness!" Kumamoto shouted. (To be continued......)
