"Is there an oasis in this Bagu Desert?"
With the oasis, they will be able to live. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the guide heard Tang Zhou's words, his expression tightened slightly, and he said, "There is a place in the oasis, but we can't go to that place." ”
Hearing that there was an oasis, Tang Zhou's heart suddenly calmed down, and then asked, "Since it's an oasis, why can't you go?" ”
"That oasis is controlled by a group of robbers in the Bagu Desert, we can only rob them when we go, but there are thousands of them, although you are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but if there is a war with them, I am afraid that we will not be able to please them."
The guide is the one who knows the strength of the wolf path best, in this Bagu Desert, they are the king, and whoever wants to take food from their mouths is killing himself.
Tang Zhou heard that there were robbers in the Bagu Desert, his heart suddenly sank, and he heard that there were thousands of them, and he felt even more bad, he didn't care about fighting with the robbers, but after this battle, they didn't know how many people would die, these soldiers were all following him to Tubo, but they didn't come to die.
So as a last resort, Tang Zhou didn't want to kill.
But if they didn't rob the oasis, they would still have to die in this desert, and without water, they wouldn't be able to get out of here.
Tang Zhou pondered carefully, and Li Hu shouted beside him: "It's just a group of robbers, our Tang soldiers are still afraid of them, and rob them." ”
"That's right, grab them from them." Without water, everyone has to die, Ma Qing is also in favor of robbing water with those robbers, and in his opinion, these robbers occupy the oasis and do all the robbery in the Bagu Desert.
But Tang Zhou didn't follow their wishes, if you can't see blood, it's better not to see blood, the robbers in the Bagu Desert are hateful, but you don't have to rush to destroy them.
"Are there any other sources of water besides the oasis?"
"This ......," the guide thought for a while, and said, "There is water, but the water there is not drinkable, and there is a saltwater lake about two days away from here, and the water in it is saltier than the sea, and it cannot be drunk at all." ”
Saltier than the sea, isn't that the more you drink, the thirstier you get?
The more you drink, the more thirsty you are, there must be a lot of impurities in the salty water, and some of these impurities may not be drinkable, otherwise it is not good for the body, so although there is a saltwater lake in the Bagu Desert, no one has ever thought of going there to drink water.
However, as soon as the guide's words were finished, Tang Zhou suddenly showed an excited look: "If there is a saltwater lake, let's go to the saltwater lake." ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was dumbfounded, shouldn't their little marquis be stupid, the water in the saltwater lake can't be drunk, what are you going to do?
"Little Marquis, that's a saltwater lake."
"yes, you can't drink water."
Everyone reminded one after another, but Tang Zhou didn't seem to care at all, and just ordered: "Go, go straight to the saltwater lake." ”
The weather was hot, and they didn't rest for another night, but in order to reach the saltwater lake as soon as possible, they could only stare at the scorching heat and set off, and Princess Wencheng, who was sitting on the camel, did not have any worries because of the current situation.
From the moment she was selected to be sent to Tibet, she never worried about her safety, and if she couldn't get out of this desert for the rest of her life, it didn't seem to have any effect on her.
It's the same to die there, and even when you die.
But just when she was thinking like this, as soon as she looked up, she saw Tang Zhou in front of her, Tang Zhou was sitting on a camel and staggering, his head drooping, as if he was asleep, and as if he didn't.
Looking at his back, Princess Wencheng's heart suddenly tightened, maybe she was in love with anything and people before, but after meeting him, is she still like that?
Can she ignore the Wensi tofu he made for himself, the things he investigated with him on the way, and the embrace that gave people a sense of security?
A tear couldn't help but flow out, and at that moment, Princess Wencheng suddenly wanted to live, even if not for herself, but for the man who made him worry about it.
Her fate is already like this, but she doesn't like Tang Zhou to be buried here with her.
The sun was scorching, and they walked all day, and when it was getting late, everyone seemed to collapse, and at this time, only the sweet water and the smell of food could give them a trace of vitality.
When the night came, everyone ate and rested, and after about an hour, they continued on their journey, and they did not have much water left, and in order to avoid other accidents, they had to rush to the saltwater lake as soon as possible, and as long as they reached the saltwater lake, they could rest for many days.
At night, the weather was unusually cold, and Princess Wencheng led the camel to walk with Tang Zhou.
"Little Hou Ye, the water in the saltwater lake can't be drunk, why do we have to rush there?"
Tang Zhou smiled: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, maybe for others, they have no way to face the saltwater lake, but for me it is not a problem, I have a way for everyone to drink water." ”
Princess Wencheng looked at Tang Zhou with a puzzled expression, she was a little puzzled, how can the water in the saltwater lake be able to make people drink?
She really couldn't think of what Tang Zhou would do, she found it difficult to understand what Tang Zhou was doing, but soon she didn't let herself dwell on this issue anymore, following Tang Zhou, she just needed to believe Tang Zhou.
There were stars in the night sky, Princess Wencheng and Tang Zhou walked side by side, and for a long time the two of them did not speak, silent, silent, there was the sound of wind and insects chirping around.
But no one cares about that, for them, the main thing now is to live, and life is more important than everything.
At this moment, they never thought that it would be so difficult to live.
Everyone had already walked a long way, and someone had fallen because he had not rested for too long, and several soldiers saw this, and pulled him on, no matter what, they had to live.
They are shouldering the mission of the Tang Dynasty, how can they be buried in such a place?
They are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and even if they die, they will die on the battlefield, not in this desert.
After a night, the day was getting brighter, the guide stood in front of him and made a visual inspection, and then hurriedly came to Tang Zhou and said, "Little Marquis, if you go about a mile further, you will be able to see the saltwater lake." ”
Tang Zhou nodded: "Okay, let everyone cheer up, when we get to the saltwater lake, everyone will drink and eat enough, and we will rest him for a day and a night." ”
After Tang Zhou's words were finished, the people who were already tired and unbearable suddenly cheered up, thinking that they would be able to rest well after walking another mile, and hope suddenly ignited in their hearts.
This is similar to when Cao Cao asked the soldiers to look at plums to quench their thirst, although there were no plums in front, but the ones that Tang Zhou said about eating and drinking were much more tempting than plums.
