?Net? A little camel to cross the desert,

Don't look back in a hurry, one step at a time

Walk, walk, walk, walk, there is grass ahead,

Walk, walk, walk, walk, there is water in front of you............

Outside Jincheng, Xiao Yi rode on a white camel, humming a small tune, while directing the camel forward, backward, turning, lying down, ......, moving flexibly, like an arm and fingers, and playing very happily!

This camel is a gift from a local tyrant, white-haired and golden-eyed, mighty and beautiful, it is also the leader of a group of camels, the mind is smart, can remember complex roads, has a keen sense of smell, is very good at finding water in the desert, is a treasure that many caravans dream of, it is said that someone came up with a thousand dollars to buy it, but failed!

The first time he saw the white camel, Xiao Yi liked it, and gave it a nice name - 'cotton', the camel is snow-white, soft hair, riding on its back, like falling into the cotton pile, extremely comfortable, there is such a name, in fact, the white camel has a special name - 'red-eyed golden-eyed beast!'" ’

The word 'beast' appears in the name, because the white camel has a fierce temperament, infinite strength, and even the wild wolves in the desert can bite to death.

The number of white camels is scarce, the character is strong, it is difficult to tame, even the most experienced old packer has no choice, can only rely on luck, only the beloved of God, can ride on the back of the white camel, crisscross the desert, gallop the world!

There is a natural affinity between him and the animal, combing, patting the head, and sending a few turnips, he and the white camel became good friends, riding on the back, frolicking and playing, with tacit understanding, the 'cabbage uncle' on the side was jealous, hissing non-stop, and sent a jar of wine, before it was a matter!

As for the local tyrant who offered the white camel, Xiao Yi did not treat him badly, and directly appointed the official position of the chief bookkeeper, one thanked the other party for giving a good gift, with the help of the white camel, crossing the desert, it was more certain, and the other was to buy the local powerful forces, if you want to pacify the twelve counties of Xiliang, in addition to conquering the land, you must also conquer the hearts of the people!

Not only Xiao Yi, but the soldiers of the Han army are learning to ride camels, and they want to cross the desert, but without the help of the 'Desert Boat', they can't do it at all, but unfortunately, the soldiers are used to staying on horseback, and in the face of this tall creature with twin peaks on their backs, they immediately panicked and made a lot of jokes!

The camels were so tall that some of the soldiers didn't know how to ride them, so they had to come to the ladder, and with great difficulty they climbed up, and after a few swayings, they rolled down again!

Some of them rode up, but they didn't know how to command, according to the method of shouting war horses, these long-haired beasts couldn't understand at all, standing still in place, angry people wanted to bite it!

There are also some smart soldiers, trying to establish a relationship with the camel, in line with the principle of 'horses have no night grass and no fat', get up and feed the camels every night, and get tired, and later learn that after these big guys are full of food and drink, they can go without drinking or eating for half a month, and they are a domineering mess!

In this way, after a month of assault practice, tens of thousands of Han soldiers finally learned to ride camels, advance and retreat freely, and can line up in a circle, this is also a formation that Xiao Yi came up with, in the desert, there is no city to follow, in the face of the iron cavalry of the Qiang tribe who comes and goes like the wind, if you can use camels to form a line of defense, and then shoot the enemy with bows and arrows, the best strategy is also!

In addition, half of the 50,000 camels are female, can squeeze out several liters of camel milk every day, nutritious, sweet and delicious, is a very good drink, the army fights, once the water source is cut off, the soldiers rely on camel milk for food, can also support a period of time, this is still a generation of Tianjiao's old wisdom!

In the same way, camel meat is also a delicacy, and when an army goes out with tens of thousands of camels, it is equivalent to carrying tens of thousands of walking grain bags.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Fifty thousand camels were enough, the baggage of the 100,000 army was ready, and at the same time, the other two allied armies were also approaching!

"The last general will pay homage to the Grand Governor, the divine power is overwhelming, and the world is invincible!" The father and son of the Ma family came, and they behaved very deferentially, with six points of fear, three points of admiration, and one point of remorse in their eyes!

When Xiao Yi attacked the Jincheng defense line, the Ma family father and son watched from the wall, their family has been running Jincheng for more than 100 years, and they think that this city is indestructible, even if 100,000 troops besiege the city, they will inevitably meet their heads and break the bloodstream, why should they go to die?

The facts surprised them, Xiao Yi besieged the city for less than a month, first used clever tricks to conquer Jinshan, and then took Jincheng bloodlessly, Han Sui, who was as cunning as a fox, was also shot with ghost arrows, and his head was made into a 'skull cup', which was played with!

After receiving the military report, the Ma family's father and son's bowels were green, and the great opportunity to recover the family foundation was missed in vain.

Knowing that Xiao Yi was on a large-scale expedition to the west, the Ma family father and son immediately came to serve in the army, and brought 10,000 elite soldiers, just to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and return to Jincheng, it is really not possible, and they can also get some other benefits!

"Obey the military order, fight bravely to kill the enemy, after the deed is completed, the governor of Pontus can guarantee that the Ma family will have a place in Xiliang!" Xiao Yi pointed to the sky and made a promise, the father and son of the Ma family are born soldiers, guarding the Xiliang border, but they are suitable candidates, of course, fetters are indispensable, and only tame horses can be ridden!

"According to the banner of the Metropolitan Governor, the children of the Ma family are indomitable, and they have no regrets in life and death!" The father and son of the Ma family bowed down again, and it was a good thing for their family to be able to climb such a big tree!

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qi, a famous general in Hebei, led 10,000 horses to come to the alliance, and also escorted a lot of ordnance, grain and grass, in order to show the harmony between the two families.

After the preparations of all parties, Xiao Yi began to select the men and horses to go out, the Han army was 50,000, the Qiang cavalry was 30,000, the Ma family army was 10,000, and the Yuan army was 10,000, a total of 100,000 troops, this is also the limit, too many people and horses, the logistics will not be able to support, once the grain and grass are cut off, the army will be defeated!

After some consideration, Xiao Yi appointed Liang Xing as the governor of Liangzhou, commanding 30,000 troops, stationed in Jincheng, responsible for collecting grain and grass, supplying the army, and let Song Xian and Wei Xu command 20,000 troops and stationed in Jinshan, one to protect the grain road and ensure that there is no worries, and the other is to monitor this 'Liang fox' to avoid changes!

When the order came out, there was a big uproar in the army, and many generals were puzzled, Jincheng Heavy Land, known as 'the first giant in Xiliang', the strategic location is extremely important, and it is the rear defense of the army, how can it be handed over to a general to guard, should send a general from the Xuanjia Army to serve as a guard!

In the face of criticism in the army, Xiao Yi smiled faintly, found a few henchmen, and explained his thoughts and dishes to solve everyone's doubts......

Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, and tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, although they surrendered themselves, the military heart was not attached, and taking them to the west was not beneficial, but harmful, not to mention the consumption of grain and grass, at the critical moment, once the mutiny was in place, it would endanger the overall situation!

There is another way, which is to slaughter the pawns and kill them, but most of these people are of Han blood, Xiao Yi can't bear it, besides, their parents, wives and children, relatives and friends are all in Xiliang, and if they kill tens of thousands of pawns, they will lose the hearts of the people, this method is not advisable!

Can't take it away, and can't kill it, the only way is to use it, and it has to be reused, Liang Xing has a greedy temperament, and has always coveted the position of Liangzhou Mu, Xiao Yi took advantage of this and asked him to guard Jincheng, for the sake of power and wealth, he will also do his best, desperately defending, even if Yuan Shang commands the troops to attack, Liang Xing can support it for a period of time, and buy time for the army to come back!

"The Governor of the Metropolis has far-reaching intentions and is unpredictable!" After listening to the explanation, there is a big word 'service' left in the hearts of the generals, as a superior, it is not a skill to use a good person, it is not a skill to use a capable person, and it is not a skill to use a bad person, and it can be used so skillfully, this is a big ability!

The arrangements have been decided, the first year of Jian'an - spring, March 27, Xiao Yi killed the white horse, the green ox, after sacrificing heaven and earth, commanded 100,000 troops, with 50,000 camels, 80,000 war horses, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep as military food, mighty and westward!
