"My lord! The oasis is really dangerous, there are at least three or four bandits entrenched in an oasis, and the people who can occupy the oasis are definitely not ordinary bandits, at least forty or fifty people. Although there are many of us, there are only one hundred Tang troops who really have some combat ability, and it is still very dangerous to go to the oasis! Namu was anxious when he heard that Chen Fei was going to the oasis, and hurriedly comforted.

"So many people?" Chen Fei frowned, he thought that there were only forty or fifty bandits in an oasis, but when he heard Namuyi say, there would be one or two hundred bandits, which was indeed a bit beyond expectations, and they might not be able to cope with this alone. What's more, he wasn't sure what Tian Qiu was thinking in his heart, right, he wouldn't have a black hand on him behind his back, and then planted the pot on the heads of those bandits, in case he borrowed a knife to kill people.

"Yes, yes!" Namu nodded hurriedly: "My lord, the oasis is very dangerous, I suggest, let's not go to the oasis, as for the water source, the old man can find it with experience." ”

It can be seen that although Namu is old, he is not ready to step into the coffin at all, and he is obviously very sorry for his life. The kind of place where his life is at risk, it can be seen that he doesn't want to go at all.

But who wants to go! Chen Fei didn't want to go himself! Who let Li Shimin give him such a problem, even if he doesn't go, he can't do it!

"Brother Na, don't worry, this is not far from there, I'll ask General Tian Qiu later, and it's not too late to make a decision after discussing it with him."

"That's right! Right! It's not too late to make a decision after discussing with General Tian Qiu! Namu nodded again and again, obviously thinking in his heart that Tian Qiu would definitely not agree to go to the oasis.

Sending away the old man who was afraid of death, Chen Fei and Fan Jiang discussed for a while, and then followed the team slowly.

At noon, when it was time to eat, the scene of nearly 300 people gathering around to eat was still spectacular. It's just that everyone eats very simply, just a piece of cake with a sip of water, and just deal with it and pass it.

Chen Fei bit half a piece of cake to find Tian Qiu, and the No. 100 Tang Army was very vigilant in forming a combat formation during the meal, so as to deal with various emergencies.

From this point of view, this Tian Qiu is not a wine bag and rice bag, he still has some real skills, but I don't know if he has been controlled by Tang Tai.

When he saw Tian Qiu eating cakes, he still sighed gloomily.

Because Tian Qiu's appearance of eating cakes is exactly the same as those who are addicted to drugs, his eyes burst with desire, and he is not satisfied with his mouth, almost crazy stuffing Hu cakes.

Obviously, this one is also a drug addict, but I don't know if he was forced or .......

Tian Qiu stuffed the last Hu cake into his mouth, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, drank a sip of water, and when he looked up, he just saw Chen Fei standing in the distance looking at him, and hurriedly put down the kettle and stood up, and walked to Chen Fei's side.

"The last will see you!"

"General Tian, we don't have to pay attention to such a hypocrisy, I came here this time because I have something I want to ask you........" Chen Fei made a gesture of invitation, sat on the ground with Tian Qiu, and chatted about some situations in the desert.

Although Tian Qiu was addicted to drugs, after some conversation, Chen Fei's impression of him was very sensory. No matter what kind of person Tian Qiu is behind his back, at least on the surface, he looks very decent.

He told Chen Fei about the many dangers that might be encountered in the desert and how to deal with them, so that there was nothing to hide.

And he also highlighted the oasis, which is indeed a dangerous place! Without a large number of troops, even they would not want to provoke the bandits in the oasis.

And the reason is even more complicated than Chen Fei imagined!

First of all, if you are close to the oasis from the outside, you are in the desert, but the enemy can be ambushed in the oasis, you are in the light, the other party is in the dark, and the opponent can take advantage of the geographical advantage to make full adjustments.

And you may not even know how many people there are on the other side, and you blindly rush in, aren't you looking for death?

Secondly, according to Tian Qiu, there are indeed many bandits outside the border who are armed by the armies of neighboring countries. Because the battle formations and weapons used by these people when attacking are impossible for ordinary bandits to have.

Ordinary bandits are absolutely screaming when they see the caravan, and it is a hard fight when they come up, and they will fight if they can beat it, and they will run away if they can't beat it, and there is no rule at all.

But these armies are not the same as bandits in disguise, although the armies of these small countries are not strong, but no matter how strong they are, they are also armies! Organizing an attack is very different from those bandits, there are tactics of war, there is an organization, and the weapons are definitely much better than those bandits, and there will even be some long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.

When encountering these disguised bandits, the ordinary caravan is almost slaughtered, and only the caravan with a particularly large number of people and strong combat effectiveness will make the other party jealous and dare not attack easily.

On the Silk Road in the Western Regions, the most feared are this type of bandits.

However, the Western Regions are so big, as long as you are careful and change the road, it is not easy to run into a bandit, and there are even fewer bandits in the disguise of the army, so there are still so many businessmen who go to and from the Western Regions one after another, earning this heart-pounding money.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Chen Fei sighed and shook his head, then stared at Tian Qiu. You seem to know a lot about Kanwai, can you say more about it? ”

Tian Qiu is a real man, and he doesn't hide anything, and he told Chen Fei about the situation outside the gate in detail.

According to him, the most rampant bandits outside the border came from Gao Changguo. When their army was patrolling outside the Guan, they encountered bandits from Gaochang Kingdom several times.

There were at least 100 people on the other side, but they knew that Datang's army was not easy to mess with, so they just shouted a few times from afar and left, and no conflict broke out between the two sides.

However, there are often bandits encountered from outside the Guan, and businessmen who have escaped back will mention the bandits of Gaochangguo, so Tian Qiu also has a general understanding of their situation.

In short, among the bandits outside the Guan, Gao Changguo was the most difficult to provoke, they were powerful, and they were ruthless and decisive, and they would almost be unlucky to meet them.

"So serious? Did Gao Changguo eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts? Dare to come out blatantly to rob? Chen Fei said angrily.

Tian Qiu sighed, "But we don't have evidence, who can say anything?" ”

Chen Fei's tone froze. Yes, I don't have any evidence, what can I say? Even Li Shimin needed to find evidence to justify the use of troops against Gao Changguo, not to mention these guards, so he could only helplessly watch them wreak havoc outside the customs and slaughter past merchants.

"Actually... In recent years, because of the rampant bandits outside the gate, there have been a lot fewer businessmen who come to Yumen Pass, and most of them are frightened. ”

Tian Qiu shrugged helplessly: "But we can't help it, why are we soldiers defending the city, as long as the other party doesn't attack the city, we can't take the initiative to attack, occasionally encounter outside, the other party will avoid it in advance, and there will be no conflict with us at all, so ......."

"So you can't find a reason to make a move, right?" Chen Fei's face turned pale, clenched his hands, and said angrily: "It's almost over!" I'll be sure to find evidence that will get us going! ”

Tian Qiu glanced at Chen Fei curiously, wondering if this adult was whimsical.

Chen Fei suddenly turned his head to stare at Tian Qiu, and said in an inexplicable tone: "General Tian, I have one more thing I want to ask you." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Chen Fei picked up a piece of Hu cake in Tian Qiu's baggage, shook it in front of him, and said, "General Tian, how did you get this addiction?" ”
