Three days later, Li Mu received the news.

The news was brought by the flying pigeon, and the normal pigeon could not fly at all in the stormy climate. But Li Mu's pigeon has the blessing of the system, with its own 'satellite positioning navigation', although when it fell, it was already dead, but the scouts patrolling still found the pigeon's corpse and brought the news back.

The scouts sent to find Tong'e have not yet returned, although the first batch of grain and grass has arrived, but now that Dingxiang is surrounded, it is impossible for the second batch of grain and grass to be transported, and now it is a situation of sitting on empty mountains, not to mention, no one knows better than Li Mu, and now there are no available soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. In other words, there will be no reinforcements in Dingxiang.

At the beginning, he discussed with Li Xiaogong and chose to take the initiative to attack, because he was afraid that Dingxiang would be besieged, but now although he defeated the Western Turks, he could not prevent the fate of being besieged, Xue Yantuo ...... Li Mu hated the root of his teeth, and at the same time regretted in his heart, he still made a careless miscalculation, if he had known that Xue Yantuo would stick a stick at this time, he would definitely not come to chase Tong'e, but now it's too late to say anything, "Master Hou!" Give the order! Let's go back and fight with them! All the generals looked at Li Mu and asked for battle.

Li Mu pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak. Su Dingfang wanted to say something, but he was stopped by his eyes, so he had to hold it back.

Seeing that the coach was undecided, the generals had no choice but to retire first and wait for Li Mu to make up his mind. Before going out, Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "You must not disclose the matter of the grain road being cut off. ”

"That's nature." The generals nodded one after another, and the most important thing at the moment was to block the news, so as not to let their subordinates know that their grain and grass had been destroyed and the back road had been cut off, so as not to shake the morale of the army.

When the generals retreated, Su Dingfang stayed, he looked at Li Mu and said, "Master Hou doesn't want to come back?" ”

Li Mu nodded: "I want to continue the pursuit." ”

"Chasing the Turks?" Su Dingfang's eyes widened, he couldn't have imagined that Li Mu would make such a choice, and said, "Why?" Dingxiang is in danger, Hou Ye! ”

Li Mu pointed to the map on the table and said, "We are now thousands of miles away from Dingxiang, even if we return to help, it will not make any difference." If the city is broken, when we arrive, the city will be broken. Even if the city is not broken, we only have 10,000 people, or a tired army, how much effect can it play? ”

"But ......" Su Dingfang wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his mouth. He knew that what Li Mu said was the truth!

"Tong'e's army has long run out of food and grass, and he dares to hide in the oasis and not come out, apparently there has long been food and grass there, enough for their remnants." Li Mu said unhurriedly.

"Even if there is no grain and grass, as long as we can completely annihilate the Turkic army, those more than 10,000 war horses can solve our urgent needs."

Li Mu said lightly: "And by killing the remnants of the Turkic cavalry, our army will be able to avoid the danger of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and it will be more calm to concentrate on dealing with Xue Yantuo at that time." ”

Su Dingfang said: "Since the Hou Ye has decided, then let's ...... now."

"I'm waiting!" Li Mu said in a deep voice: "I'm waiting for the scouts to come back and see what the situation is, they haven't returned yet, and it's useless to say." After a pause, Li Mu said with a solemn expression: "Moreover, once you decide, it is a desperate bet, if something goes wrong, it will be a total annihilation?" ”

Li Mu's tone became heavier and heavier, and anyone could hear that he was struggling at the moment.

"Hey!" Su Dingfang was also overwhelmed by the heavy atmosphere, and beat his thigh angrily and said: "It's really better to be a person than a person, why would Xue Yantuo come at this time!" ”

"Wait a little longer." Li Mu put his hands behind his back and continued to pace. "Let's see if there's any good news tonight?"

"Yes." Su Dingfang had no choice but to retire.

……

In the depths of the Gobi Desert, the wind swept up gusts of sand, forming an overwhelming yellow curtain. Behind the curtain is a lush, spring-filled oasis hidden in the desert, a typhoon shelter.

A few days ago, Tong'e led the remnants to finally arrive here, and they survived. A group of Turkic nobles didn't expect Tong'e to still have this hand. At this time, whether it was the nobles or the ordinary people, they all admired him to the point of throwing themselves to the ground.

After two days of rest, the exhausted Turkic men and horses finally relented. But when a group of Turkic nobles learned that Li Mu's army had chased to the edge of the desert, the frightened birds were terrified again.

These people came in a hurry all the way, and they had long lost the courage to resist the Tang army, and felt that Li Mu still had the possibility of chasing in, so they hurriedly went to find the Turkic tribe's Optimus Prime Tong'e. In this case, only he can deal with it.

Seeing the anxious look on the faces of the Turkic nobles, Tong'e smiled contemptuously and said, "You are really frightened, you even think that Li Mu dares to chase after you." He swept the crowd and said calmly: "Not to mention this hundred miles of barren land, how can he Li Mu fly across." Besides, the location of this typhoon shelter is extremely secret, and even you have to ask the old man to lead the way, so how can Li Mu know about this place? ”

After listening to the words of the Great Khan, the Turkic nobles felt a lot more relieved at this time, but it was not a matter to hide here. Someone respectfully asked Tong'e: "We were able to escape thanks to the Great Khan's clever plan." But this oasis is good, but it is small. Although the Great Khan prepared military rations in advance, he was never able to support the more than 10,000 people of our army to eat and chew. If you want to come to the Great Khan, you must have a back hand, so it is better to tell us, so that we can rest assured. ”

"Hehe," Tong'e's body was light, and he felt that the time was about the same, so he released a shocking secret and said: "Of course we don't have to hide here for a long time, Li Mu will be finished soon!" ”

"What?" The Turkic nobles were dumbfounded, if it weren't for the calm and light look on his face, they would have thought that the Great Khan had lost his mind. They all discussed: "Li Mu has chased us for thousands of miles, and there is almost no loss, how can it be finished after speaking, how is this possible?" ”

Everyone's expressions were all in Tong'e's expectation, and a smile appeared on his calm face: "Now it's not a question of whether Li Mu wants to chase him in, but whether we want to kill it!" ”

Hearing Tong'e say that he was going to counterattack, all the Turkic nobles were chilled in their hearts, Li Mu was thankful if he didn't come to fight, wouldn't he be sent to death if he killed him now?

Tong'e's words made everyone wonder, but the Turkic nobleman asked tentatively: "Look at the meaning of the Great Khan, is there still a chance that our army's counterattack will win?" ”

"Hahaha!" Tong'e laughed three times and said, "You don't know, the night before we entered the Camel Valley, I had already sent someone to inform Xue Yantuo. Tell them that the main force of Datang has been led away by us, and now it is empty. With Yi Nan's greedy personality, they will definitely make a move against the Tang people, which will inevitably cut off the Tang army's back road. By the time we got to the typhoon shelter, they had already done it. Now the Tang army outside is probably about to run out of food, and they have no way out, and there are pursuers behind. At this time, if you want to go deep into the Hanhai Gobi to chase us, wouldn't it be sent to death? ”

"Ahh There is such a thing, we are so miserable to hide it from the Great Khan! A group of Turkic nobles looked at Tong'e in disbelief, although they were complaining, but their faces were full of ecstasy. If it's really like what E said, then it's really an eye-opener for immortals! The Tang army will definitely be defeated! If you take advantage of the Tang Army to face Xue Yantuo and kill it when you have no time to look back, maybe you can really pick up a big bargain.

Thinking that he had been chased by Li Mu all the time, and now that he had the opportunity to run after him, the nobles were excited.

"But Great Khan, Xue Yantuo has long been disobedient to us. If you can help us this time, I'm afraid it doesn't have other plans! "The Turkic nobles with bright minds still felt unbelievable at this time.

"Humph! Of course, this group of bastards will not be kind," Tong'e treated others with herself, and said with an unhappy face: "It must be that we can't do it, and this time we have been hit hard, and we have begun to dream of dominating the grassland." ”

"Ahh Then what are we going to mess with them, let them eat dogs! The Turkic nobles looked at the respected Taishi with admiration, and little stars appeared in their eyes.

"Hey, the old man wants to repay the other in his own way." Tong'e was full of confidence, shook her head, and said, "Xue Yantuo's group of bastards, don't they want the snipe and the clam to compete for the fisherman's profit?" The old man also took the medicine according to the prescription, let's wait for them to lose the battle with the Tang Army, and suddenly kill it, and we will definitely be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”

Tong'e said this, but she actually didn't know the bottom in her heart. But he had no choice, after all, after a series of big defeats, Tong'e Tai needed a big victory to stop the decline and maintain his rule. Of course, it would be better to take the opportunity to make a big profit.

After listening to Tong'e's analysis, the Turkic nobles were dazzled, although they still didn't quite understand, they all knew that they didn't have to worry about the Tang Army catching up now, and they also had the opportunity to bite back and take revenge! The excitement of the Turkic nobles was almost soaring into the sky!

Changsheng God knows what kind of hellish life they have lived in the past month or so, they are chased by the Tang Army every day, and they only dare to close one eye when they sleep at night, lest they sleep too deeply, they will be left behind, and they will become the prey of the Tang Army. Nervousness, worry, fear, exhaustion, and countless negative emotions accumulated day after day, and many Turkic nobles no longer resembled human beings and ghosts.

The Turks need such news too much to release the pressure. Seeing that some people in the whole army were hugging and crying, some were dancing, and some were rolling on the ground, Tong'e also understood, if they didn't let them vent properly, these guys might not be able to return to normal, let alone take them to war.

So, the Turkic Taishi announced that all the Turks would carnival for three days and three nights, and then kill out of the desert!

"Whew! Oh! All the Turks howled happily, and some of the Turkic nobles were not satisfied: "It's a pity that there is no wine, and the revelry is always a little less flavorful." ”

How could this trivial matter stump the great Turkic Great Khan? Tong'e smiled and said to the nobles: "Who said there is no wine? As he spoke, he clapped his hands and high-fived, and hundreds of Turkic soldiers brought out more than 100 jars of wine.

The eyes of all the Turkic nobles were about to fall, and they all shouted in a lost voice: "Could it be that the Great Khan is a god in the sky?" ”

That Tong'e was very proud, laughed and said: "This is a fine wine hidden here a few years ago, it was originally ......" Tong'e wanted to say that it was originally used to make 'celebration wine', but in this situation, why can't she open this mouth, so she can only smile and say: "Forget it, don't mention it." ”

The Turkic nobles didn't care to listen to what he said, so they threw themselves on the side of the wine jar one by one, smashed the mud seal, and poured it violently at the mouth of the altar. For these drunkards, not drinking for more than a month is even more uncomfortable than killing them.

The great carnival began, and the laughter and shouts of the Turks spread throughout the oasis, to the desert, and for more than a dozen miles. Even the scouts who were on guard were drawn to the voice.

"What's going on behind that?" The scouts asked their fellow people who had just come out of the oasis to change shifts.

"Xue Yantuo copied the back road of the Tang army, we are about to turn defeat into victory, the Taishi ordered a carnival for three days, and also took out a treasured wine!"

"Wine?" Those scouts had green eyes and the wine worms in their stomachs scratching their hearts and lungs, where did they still have the heart to be on guard outside? I can't wait to rush back and drink the wine.

The scout, who was just in time to go back to rest, went away under the envious gaze of his colleagues, and did not forget to laugh and said: "Don't worry, rest assured, there is no wine left for you, and there is no wine jar left?" ”

This remark caused all the scouts to be worried, and they all hurriedly said: "What if we run out of wine when we go back?" ”

"Ahem, anyway, it's impossible for the Tang Army to go to the desert to find death, why are we stupidly eating sand here? It's better to go back and drink! There was a bold proposal.

"It makes sense, I haven't even seen a single hair these days." Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all echoed: "It's right to go back and drink quickly!" ”

"And who's going to keep an eye on it?" There are also those who have a sense of responsibility that has not been killed by alcohol addiction.

"Let's go back and get the wine first, and then come back, could it be that the kung fu Tang army will be killed at this time?" The scouts are already drunk insects, exculpating themselves. As for whether he will come back after going back, only Changsheng Tian will know.

Finding an excuse to comfort themselves, all the scouts slipped away...... The guys rushed back to drink and no one noticed. In the distance, several earthy yellow figures followed behind them......

Those figures did not ride horses, and with only two legs, they were able to keep up with the speed of the cavalry.

Hanging behind the Turkic scouts for more than ten miles, you can clearly feel that the air around you is moistened, and when you look ahead, a piece of green comes into view.

In the long yellow sand, the green was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it, and they carefully touched the edge of the oasis, only to find that they didn't need to be so careful, because the Turks only had wine in their eyes now, and how could they care about anything outside of their bodies?

The men crouched in the sand, looked at the oasis carefully, marked the map, listened carefully to the words coming from the oasis, and when they were sure that they had heard nothing new, they crept out again.
