This Taishou even wrote a long poem to sing the mirage: "Climb the building and drape Qi sparse, the sky and water are dissolved, the clouds and mist are endless, the open-minded comes to the long wind, the mirage is breathing, the island is lost, the vast waves, suddenly rise and fall, the frank corner is like cutting, Ruicai is lush, A Ge stacks the flying threshold, the smoke swings straight to the chest, the distant Cen reflects each other, the changes are different, the cliff becomes a wide fu, the flat mountain shows the strange peak, the high and low overturns, the separation and merge in an instant, the clouds and forests are shady, the sun foot Huandan Cong, the floating slaughter is opposite, the Zhengrong letter ghost worker, the village is applied to the Zhou Zhu, the broken shore drives Changhong, The characters are out of nowhere, ignoring the color and emptiness, showing and disappearing, creating and having the Yuan Gong, Bingyue came to the Bohai Sea, three years of the beginning of a meeting, throughout the Lin has been Shen, thirsty intestines are full of this day, the line is strange, and the poem is ashamed of the long man! ”

There is a description of Sun Gongzi is more peculiar: "Huanshan Mountain City, one of the eight views of Yi also, but a few years of constant not to see, Sun Gongzi Yu Nian and the same people drink upstairs, suddenly see the mountain has a lonely tower towering, high insertion of the green Ming, look at each other suspicious, read near this Zen Temple, nothing, see dozens of palaces, Biwa Feiyong, the beginning of the realization of the mountain city, not a few, high wall eyes, even six or seven miles, actually the city, there are buildings if the person, the hall if the person, the square if the person, vividly in the mind, hundreds of millions, suddenly the wind rises, the dust is reckless, the city is vaguely only, and the wind is clear, Everything is empty, but there is a dangerous building, directly Xiaohan, five buildings, and the windows are open; There are five points in a row, the sky outside the building, the layer index, the higher the building, the brighter it is decreasing, counting to eight floors, cut like a star, and on it, it is ethereal, can not count its level, and the people upstairs come and go crumbs, or rely on or stand, not the same, overtime, the building gradually lowers, you can see its top; and gradually as usual; and gradually like a high house; Suddenly, like a fist like a bean, it is not visible, and I smell that there are early walkers, and I see the crowded market on the mountain, and there is no difference from the world, so it is also called the 'ghost market' cloud! ”

As for the reasons for the formation of this mirage, there are many discussions, Dengzhou Taishou thinks: "The mirage of the building, its origin is far away, or the mirage is a big clam, the so-called pheasant into the sea is also a mirage, or thought that the snake is turned into, there are many things in the sea, but the seaside place, has not tasted the shape of the building, but Dengzhou Haishi, the world preaches, suspected to be caused by mirage, Su Changgong Haishi poem preface said that it tasted out of spring and summer, the year is no longer seen, the public prayer in the temple of the sea god, tomorrow to see Yan, is to pray again, then it is not mirage! ”

And there is such a thing in the desert, Wei Qing listened to his father's story when he was a child, and he heard such a story: a camel caravan is hesitating in the scorching desert, the scorching heat and dry weather make the travelers tired, the water in the leather bag has been drunk, and the lips are dry and cracked, how they want to be able to drink a sip of cool water! Suddenly, in the far desert ahead, a lake appeared, and on both sides of the lake towered palaces and monasteries, which brought them great hope and a cool premonition, so they quickly ran forward, walking through sand dunes and dunes, but the lakes, palaces, and monasteries were still far away, flickering and flickering, and after a while, suddenly the lake, the palaces, and the monasteries all disappeared without a trace.

However, "hearing" is one thing: "seeing" is another, especially in the present situation of thirst to death, who would not have the urge to go and drink water when they see such a large lake.

Seeing the soldiers rushing towards the illusory lake, Wei Qing let out a long sigh and decided to ignore it, stopping these people now might even cause a mutiny.

First a few hundred soldiers rushed out, then thousands, then tens of thousands, and the whole army was in disarray, without march, without discipline, and the people rushed desperately to the lake, but when they reached the lake, they found that the lake did not exist at all, and that it was still surrounded by a desert.

Some soldiers had already found out that this was a mirage and stopped in despair, while others did not give up and still ran forward, wanting to look for it again, Wei Qing, Shi Qian, Hua Mulan, and Liu Qi tried their best to gather the soldiers who had stopped, and they were very busy.

Suddenly, the hundreds of soldiers who ran at the front shouted and turned around and rushed back, which was even more chaotic than when they rushed out, Wei Qing was shocked: Could it be that they encountered any poison again, now they have no water available, and if they encounter poison such as fire scorpions, they can only sit and wait for death, he urged the camel to face the returning soldiers forward, and tried his best to look forward, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked.

In front, thousands of soldiers under the banner of the Western Regions were advancing towards the Han army.

This is not a mirage, it is clearly a real army.

If they weren't so chaotic now, thousands of people in front of 200,000 people were really not worth mentioning, but now the whole team was in a mess, and the soldiers threw down their weapons one after another in order to rush to the lake as soon as possible, these thousands of enemy troops were enough to completely collapse his team, not to mention that since there were thousands of people, who could say that there were not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people behind, and the Wusun people actually launched an attack at such a moment, it was really the best time.

"The whole team!" Wei Qing yelled.

Hua Mulan, Shi Qian and Liu Qi tried their best to form the team, but once the 200,000 people fell into chaos, how could it be so easy to sort out the team at once, on the one hand, the generals of the Han army sorted out the team, and on the other hand, the Han soldiers who rushed to the front fled back one after another, which made it even more chaotic, and the anxious Wei Qing stomped his feet.

Seeing that the thousands of people on the other side were approaching, Wei Qing had no choice but to shout at Liu Qi: "You lead the three thousand people to rush up first, stop them, don't take a step back, I will try to organize the team here, and once it is closed, I will help you!" ”

Liu Qi nodded, and the three thousand people that the general had just sorted out in the chaos were about to attack, and only then did he take the horse, but one person grabbed his reins, Liu Qiding opened his eyes, this person was Abri.

"Don't strike yet!" Abri shouted: "That's the banner of the Elite Country, they have always been oppressed by the Wusun people, and they will not die for the Wusun people at all, you lead the soldiers to defend first, and I will go to see General Wei!" ”

Liu Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Abri rushed to Wei Qing's eyes and said what he had just said again, Wei Qing was also suspicious, and ordered Shi Qian and Hua Mulan to try their best to gather the team, and he himself and Abri went forward to meet him.

When they arrived at the front line of Liu Qi's troops, they saw a man from the Western Regions running over on a camel on the opposite side, and the man from the Western Regions did not bring any weapons, but came to the front of the Han army and shouted in Chinese: "Who is the commander, I want to talk to him!" ”

Wei Qing frowned, this person's Chinese was awkward enough, he rode out and replied: "I am the commander of the Left Route Army of the Han Dynasty, General Wei Qing, what is the matter with you!" ”

The man from the Western Regions arched his hand and continued to say in his half-literate Chinese: "The messenger of a certain country is also, the queen of our country knows that the Han army is coming from afar to conquer Wusun, and she is very happy in her heart, and she knows that the Han army is short of water, so she specially ordered us to bring water to save the Han army from fire and water!" ”

Wei Qing almost laughed out loud, and "saved the Han army from fire and water", do you want to solve the pain of the Han army's upside down! However, although this person's words are awkward, the content is happy, and when he is extremely thirsty, someone brings water, which is really life-saving.

Wei Qing nodded and said, "Thank you for being the queen of your country!" ”

The generals on the side were already happy and laughed.

The water brought by the elite people is not much, plus they themselves have to drink water on the road, and the Han army has 200,000 people, so this water is indeed not enough, but it is not enough, but the saving is really saved, these water according to the current water consumption, at least it can support another seven or eight days, this is really saving the Han army from fire and water.

Wei Qing received the elite generals, and stated the reason, it turned out that the elite country was not very far from here, and heard that the Han army defeated the Wusun army and went deep into the desert, they have always been oppressed by Wusun, and naturally supported the Han army in their hearts, and soon after, they found the legend of Abri's condor, knowing that the Han army was short of water, the queen of the elite mobilized the whole country and sent five thousand people carrying water to aid the Han army, but they did not encounter the army of Bai Buxin on the road, so they did not know that the Han army had launched an attack on the Turpan Oasis, Instead, they came directly to the location of the main force of the Han army, and fortunately, the exquisite people were familiar with the roads of the desert, if they didn't find the Han army for a day or two, they were afraid that they would have to help the Han army collect the corpses.

Wei Qing saw that there was a lot of hatred for Wusun in the words of the exquisite people, and he tried his best to invite them to join the Han army, but the commander of the elite was also real, and told Wei Qing frankly: First, they didn't bring much water, and the 200,000 Han troops were not enough, plus they were even more insufficient, and second, the elite country was small, these 5,000 people were already the strength of the whole country, and all the soldiers went out to fight in the empty country, in case the Wusun people or other people attacked, the elite would have no strength to resist, so they sent water, and they had to return immediately in case there was a change in the country.

When Wei Qing heard this, he didn't dare to force him to stay, so he had to do it.

The Elite only rested in the Han camp for an hour before hurrying back, but the water they brought with them rejuvenated the Han army. Although it is still necessary to strictly control the use of water, after all, it is not to despair.

The next day, the main force of the Han army finally moved forward again. Although it can't be said that it has been singing and laughing all the way, the mental state of the Han soldiers has improved greatly, and even the marching speed is faster, if they let go and walk, they can walk fifty or sixty miles on this day, but Wei Qing was afraid that it would consume too much physical strength of the soldiers, so he ordered to camp after only walking forty miles.

The next day, the army had traveled another forty miles, and it was the eighth day of Bai Buxin's departure, and if there were no accidents, Bai Buxin should have started his return journey with water. Although there are still 490 miles away from the Turpan Oasis, the Han army is now saving water, even if there is no Bai Buxin rescue, it can reach the Turpan Oasis, so the people's hearts are not panicked, at night, the army went down in an orderly manner, Aburi put the tent next to the waterwheel, according to his words, he even slept with one eye open, looking at the waterwheel.

Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
