Yang Hao once tried what it was like to skip meals twice, but it was actually not a big deal, although he was a little hungry. But he had never tried what it was like to skip meals three times before, and now, for three whole days, every meal was just a helmet of gruel with Fan Laosi and Liu Shixuan, and his stomach was never filled with food, and he felt that his eyes were green.

Hunger is only one thing, and the mental torture of the boring, endless wasteland is even more unbearable. For three days, no matter how many miles he had traveled, he saw almost no difference from the scene he had seen when he had first set foot in this barren land, so that one had a very frustrated feeling that he had not traveled far at all in the past three days.

Yang Hao remembered that in his previous life, he once saw a magazine mention the most cruel method of torture, which was neither a tiger chair chili water, nor a red-hot iron chisel, or a leather whip dipped in water, but a house that kept absolutely quiet, leaving people in such a room and ignoring them, within a few days, this person would have a nervous breakdown, and there would be no secrets to keep in the face of inquiry.

Yang Hao had never been able to understand what was so terrible about that kind of torture, but now he vaguely understood, what was the difference between this immutable desert scene and the confinement room where there was absolutely no sound? They can completely destroy the will of man, and make man feel the urge to give up everything and lie there and wait for death.

They are now walking in a "匚" shape, they have made a big circle, and now they have to return to the direction of the starting point, and then continue to the southwest, just taking this unjust road, it is enough to make people frustrated. And hunger, despair, a scorching sun in the sky. Hell, not only did the surrounding scene always seem to be the same, but the blazing sun always seemed to hang in the same place, scorching every drop of water on their bodies.

Although they had filled all the water utensils when they left the forest, and had repeatedly warned the people to save water, many of them did not understand the seriousness of the matter, and in only three days, many of them had not had a drop of water on them. Except for a few people who had traveled far and saved some water through hunger and thirst, the rest could only wait for the soldiers to distribute a little life water to him every day. It was hot, and their snorts were even hotter, and their throats seemed to be on fire.

For three days, all the people just looked ahead blankly, mechanically moving forward with the pace of others, and when someone fell, even his relatives were powerless to help him. Some people fled during the night, but those who escaped only died faster, and the group might go anywhere to see a dried corpse in the sandy ground that had been quickly sunburned by the sun, and this shriveled corpse that could no longer be distinguished, had been a member of their team a day before.

The soldiers are no different from ordinary people now, and all the heavy things they can throw away have been thrown away, including armor, and the only consolation is that they are soldiers who have rolled on the battlefield after all, and they can still maintain their formation and obey orders, which keeps this team from completely collapsing.

The scorching sun has set, but the wind blowing slowly is still a heat wave, people lie weakly on the sandy ground, shaking the skin bag with only a drop of water left, but they are reluctant to lick it, who knows if they can find a water source tomorrow, now everyone knows the preciousness of water.

They walked on an ancient river channel, and the alkalinity under the soil turned it into a barren land, and the alkaline sand spread left and right with the wind, and for thousands of years, the Gobi Desert, which was originally not much, turned into sandy land, and there were not even a few weeds with the most tenacious vitality. On the ancient river, there are some old trees lying on the ground from an unknown number of years ago, showing the vitality that once existed here.

Food, is the only thing that soldiers have not abandoned except for knives and guns, now Yang Hao has implemented military control, food is kept by soldiers, unified use, porridge boiled every day, regardless of officers and soldiers or civilians, each person is a bowl, it can barely hang people's lives, will not let people die, but this bowl of porridge can arouse people's greater hunger, make people hungry and want to eat people.

Cheng Dexuan originally always had a sinister smile on his face, waiting to see Yang Hao's jokes, but now he didn't even have the strength to hate. As soon as the team stopped, he fell to the ground, gasping for breath, saving every ounce of his strength. Now even he, who is most looking forward to Yang Hao's failure, is looking forward to going out one day earlier. He was not afraid of death, but he did not expect that this kind of torture would be more painful than death.

The area on the left is a little lower, and there are some reeds growing on the ground, which are also dry now, and a little bit can be done. Some people were digging for reeds, and the sand underneath was a little damp, and the rhizomes of those reeds might still be eaten.

The people who scattered to forage for food and rest found a bubble of muddy water, a small bubble, two zhang square, and the water was not muddy. But this muddy soup was still the most precious thing in their eyes, and they continued to fight until the soldiers intervened with their swords, which put an end to a fight for their lives.

The soaked sewage was quickly divided by their treasures, and the other people who had just heard the news sat there in despair, and a honest man in his thirties accompanied by the most heartfelt smile, begging for even a drop of water, he said that his baby was not yet a year old, and the child had no milk...... Before he could finish his sentence, the mouthful of muddy water had already been drunk, and he could only turn around in despair and walk in vain to the next person. A few reluctant people were digging in the wetland, hoping to find even a single earthworm, and among them was a white and chubby middle-aged man wearing a crumpled robe made of silk and money, which seemed to be an outsider. However, his money is now unable to support the domestic servants who used to squat at his feet like dogs, everyone is struggling for a mouthful of food and a mouthful of water, and in the face of the threat of death, no matter how high or low, it is really the equality of all beings.

The officers and soldiers began to distribute drinking water, although it was only a little, it was really only a little, and the people still stumbled over and began to line up. Fuyaozi Lao Dao led his share of precious water out of the crowd, looking at these half-human and half-ghost people with some blankness, there was some pity in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything.

His Bigu kung fu can go without eating or drinking for a hundred days; He has cultivated both inside and outside, and it is difficult for the soldiers of gold and iron to hurt him. However, he is not a real immortal after all, he can't call the wind and rain to let a rain rain fall here, and he doesn't know how to carry the five ghosts, and move these people out of a desperate situation overnight. With his nearly 100-year-old body, he is still relaxed and comes and goes like the wind when he walks on a steep mountain road like Taihua Mountain, but he can't fly on land in this desert, and he travels hundreds of miles a day.

"Grandpa Taoist, I have received water. Let's go back. The dog took the corner of his clothes, and in the past few days, she and this old Taoist priest who likes to sleep all day have become friends who have become friends who depend on each other along the way. Fuyaozi woke up from his trance, poured his saliva into the dog's broken bowl, and laughed self-deprecatingly: Who would have thought that he, a hundred-year-old man who was respected by the people near Taihua Mountain as a real person and a sleeping fairy, had such a miserable day, under the power of heaven, who could be hit?

It was at this time that he saw Yang Hao.

Yang Hao frowned and walked step by step through the scorching sand. He was very strange that he had such a strong vitality, he had never suffered so much, he could still stand, and he could still hold on to patrol after the team stopped. Just because one thought in his heart is still supporting, he knows that he can't fall down at this time, if he also collapses, it is very likely that none of these tens of thousands of people will be able to get out, and all of them will be buried on this ancient river.

At this time, any words of comfort and encouragement are powerless, in fact, at this time, there is neither a single person who wants to hear any assurance from him, nor does he have the strength to stand up and make trouble, Yang Hao walked through the pass, and saw the burly old man sitting in the crowd and a dozen big men beside him, they have also been tortured, but after all, they have experience in surviving in the desert, although in this place where the army of locusts passing through, they can't find any prey with their ability, but when they leave the forest, They must have stocked up on something, and now they look much better than most of the people.

Seeing Yang Hao's gaze looking at him, Li Guangcen smiled bitterly at him and shook his head gently. Yang Hao sighed, turned around and walked back. Suddenly, he saw a man taking advantage of the nightfall to grab a woman and flash into a ravine washed out by the flood, Yang Hao was stunned, and immediately grabbed the waist knife and followed.

He had always been worried that someone would burst out of the despicable and shameless side of human nature because of the desperation of life, and do something angry and resentful, but all along, this team was relatively calm, and he couldn't imagine that what he was most worried about would still happen. As soon as one of these things happened, it would immediately spread like a plague, and even turn everyone into madness, and he could not let it happen, and he did not even have time to summon a few soldiers, so he hurriedly followed.

Running to the deep ditch of loess, Yang Hao's feet slipped and rolled down with the soft sand on the slope, he looked up and saw that in the ditch not far away, the woman was being pushed to the ground, and the man jumped up, while impatiently undressing, while hugging the woman and kissing.

Yang Hao was furious, rushed over and kicked the man away, put the steel knife in his hand to his neck, and shouted: "You are so big, what are you doing?" ”

The man was kicked over by Yang Hao, lying on the sand panting, looking at his appearance, around thirty, he was a little obscene, but his figure was still stout, he licked his lips and shouted, "You...... What are you doing, why are you bad at Lao Tzu's good deeds? ”

Yang Hao pressed the knife and shouted: "This official has already ordered, those who dare to rape women will be killed!" Didn't you hear that? ”

The man laughed, "Who has adulterated a woman?" I am willing to fight with her, and the other is willing to fight, we don't want to die like this, we want to be happy and happy before we die, and do your bird business? ”

"Huh?" Yang Hao was stunned, turned his head and glanced at the woman, the woman was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although her face was full of dust all the way, and her Luo skirt was also full of mud, but she could see that she was still quite a bit of posture, and her torn chest was half-hidden by her, faintly revealing round shoulders and a trace of powder, and her body was round and jade, which was very much the taste of a mature woman.

Because Yang Hao suddenly broke in, the woman sat up in a hurry, covered her clothes, hung her head and did not dare to raise it, her face was like a red cloth. The man lay on the ground with a ruffian face, and took out a water bladder from his bosom and shook it, and from the water bladder came the sound of rushing water, and at this time, the sound was simply the sound of Xian Le Lun, which could intoxicate all the senses. The woman immediately looked up at the water bladder in his hand, licking her chapped lips with a look of longing in her eyes.

"You give me your body, I will give you the only bit of water left, and now this saliva, but not a single ingot of gold can be exchanged, this transaction is fair, and you have taken a big advantage." What do you think? Come here if you want. ”

The young woman swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and glanced at Yang Hao hesitantly, and the man laughed deliciously: "It's so fucking funny, your life is almost gone, are you still afraid that others will laugh at you?" If you don't want it, then I'll drink it myself, and you won't regret it. ”

As the man spoke, he pulled off the water bladder and made a gesture to drink, when the woman screamed, "I want, give me the water bladder, give it to me!" After saying that, he pounced and snatched the water bladder.

Yang Hao withdrew the knife in a daze, and leaned weakly on the ground, the man looked at him proudly, and as soon as he turned over, he flipped the young woman to the ground, and tore her clothes like a beast in front of Yang Hao. The woman lay on the ground, completely unconcerned about being stripped naked in front of another man, and she held the water bladder tightly in her arms, her eyes closed, and she let the man on her body stir like a beast.

When the plump and white buttocks were exposed from under the skirt, Yang Hao turned around, and listened to the panting sound of "whooping" behind him, he walked away silently, stuck the dirt on the slope with a knife, climbed up the dirt slope with difficulty, and walked to the place where he was stationed, never looking back.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Luo Kedi, Helongcheng, Liu Haibo and other generals were sitting there discussing something, and when they saw him coming, they all stood up. Luo Kedi said in a hoarse voice: "Lord Yang, none of us have ever been to this barren land, and it will take a few days to get out Now I don't know at all, even if our soldiers are ......, food and water can't support it for a few days, I'm afraid it will be ...... if it goes on like this."

This road was chosen by him, although some people had scolded him that it was better to break into Minggu at the beginning, even if he was killed by the Khitans who had been waiting there for a long time, it would be considered a happy death, it was better than going back, such a half-dead crime, but none of these generals had ever complained to him, Yang Hao didn't say it, but he was very grateful in his heart. Listening to Luo Kedi's words, he sighed ashamedly and said: "It's all my fault, I didn't expect to run for my life all the way, not only lost all the baggage supplies, but everyone's physical strength was also too exhausted, and I couldn't support such a trek, it was me...... brought everyone to a dead end. ”

Luo Kedi hurriedly said: "Don't say that, my lord, the Khitans have already grasped our intention to move eastward, and the wilderness outside Minggu City of nearly two hundred miles is their best place to block it, so it's strange that they don't lay heavy troops there and wait for us to throw ourselves into the net." It's to blame, it's just that we didn't listen to the dissuasion of the adults earlier, and if we had gone south and west earlier, with our full provisions, we wouldn't have ended up so ruthlessly. ”

Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "What's the use of talking about this now? Not only have the people given up hope, but even I ......, alas! ”

Luo Ke said to the enemy: "Lord Yang, the last general is discussing with the generals, if we continue like this, it will be a dead end." I thought, should we send people out and find a way to bring grain back? In this way, those of us who go out have hope, we can hold on for a few more days, and we can walk faster. If we are going out and the outside is carrying grain in at the same time, so that the distance and time can be saved by more than half, we may be able to save the lives of our people. ”

Yang Hao looked at him straight and didn't say a word.

Luo Kedi said strangely: "Lord Yang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yang Hao said abruptly: "Send a few people out, Cheng." But look at this barren land, do you have any signs and recognizable paths? Send people out, they get food, how to contact our brigade? They really brought grain and grass, how do they know where we have gone and where we are connected? In this unmarked wasteland, even if they bring 10,000 people and want to pass by us, they won't be able to find each other. ”

Several generals were stunned when they heard this, and the excitement on their faces was suddenly swept away, and Luo Kedi couldn't help but feel stunned, how to contact? How to get in touch? He smiled bitterly and sat down on the floor. Several people stood or sit, stone-carved and wood-carved statues were stunned for a long time. The sun dragged their figures up little by little, dragging them for a long time......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ late at night, Yang Hao had just fallen asleep on the sand, Fan Laosi hurriedly walked over, and said in a low voice: "Adult, adult, get up quickly." ”

Yang Hao was woken up, he sat up suddenly, and said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

"My lord is silent," Fan Laosi looked left and right, and said nervously: "My lord, talk on the side." ”

Yang Hao hurriedly got up, followed him to the side, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fan Laosi whispered: "My lord, someone just died." ”

How many people don't die on any day these days? Yang Hao was a little numb, and he was stunned: "Who is the one who died, the general in our army?" ”

Fan Laosi shook his head and said, "No, it's an ordinary person." However, the Taoist priest we captured said that this man had a plague. My lord, he looked like a lowly officer, and he heard from his family that he was fine this morning, but he was sick in the afternoon, and the sun had just set, and he was finished. My lord, if our team has a plague again, it will really be a cause for the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, and the subordinates will not dare to publicize it, otherwise the news will spread, and I am afraid that half of our soldiers will have to escape. ”

Yang Hao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go and see, who knows this letter." ”

Fan Lao Si said as he walked: "Fortunately, no matter whether someone is sick or dead now, others don't bother to ask, and now in addition to me and Liu Shixuan, there are several absolutely trustworthy guards and pro-soldiers, only that person's family and that Taoist priest know, I have controlled them all." My lord, in an emergency, there must be no kindness of a woman, do you think we should ...... all that family and that Taoist priest?"

His palm slashed downward, Yang Hao suddenly stopped, but instead of looking at him, he looked at a pile of bonfires a few steps away, there were a few people sleeping next to the bonfire, and two people were sitting, he suddenly one of the figures was a little familiar, and he couldn't help but walk over slowly.

It was a woman, from Yang Hao's point of view, only her side face could be seen, this woman was the woman who was dragged into the ditch by the scoundrel in the evening for a mouthful of water. She sat cross-legged, holding a child in her arms, and a man next to her kneeled, he covered the water bladder with his body, secretly gave the child a few sips of water, and then quickly hid the water bladder back in his arms, looking at a little water stain on his son's lips, his honest face showed a little joy: "Lady, thanks to you, otherwise my son would have ......, where did this water come from, this is our life-saving water." ”

The woman pressed her son's face and said quietly, "This water ...... Be...... It was the slave who asked for it from a good Samaritan. ”

"Who is so kind, he can't ask for a drop of water after saying all the good things for his husband. This afternoon, Mr. Niu made two ingots of gold in exchange for a water bladder from someone else. Lady, people are so kind to you, you should lead me to thank them. ”

"This ...... Hmm......" The woman squeaked, looking a little flustered, and at this moment, they suddenly noticed Yang Hao who was quietly standing aside, and the man immediately pressed the water bladder hidden in his chest, for fear of being snatched by him. The woman suddenly recognized Yang Hao, although Yang Hao was not wearing official clothes and was not wearing a waist knife, she still recognized Yang Hao at a glance.

Her face suddenly became pale as snow, without a trace of blood, she looked at Yang Hao in despair like a prisoner waiting for death, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes showed a look of sorrow and begging.

Yang Hao suddenly understood, he looked at the man, and then at the child under the age of one in the young woman's arms, his eyes were a little hot, he slowly approached, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, although it is hot here during the day, it is cold at night, be careful not to let the child suffer from the cold." ”

Gently teasing the child's face, Yang Hao smiled at the man again: "Water, it was given to this sister-in-law by the official, but it's a pity...... That's all I have to do with it, hold on a little longer, even if it's for the sake of the kids, I'll definitely take everyone out, definitely"

Gently patting the man's shoulder, Yang Hao suddenly got up and strode forward. Fan Laosi followed behind, and when he saw Yang Hao walking, he suddenly raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the dead body had been tightly controlled by Fan Laosi's people in a remote corner, and his family gathered together and whimpered softly. Fuyaozi Lao Dao sat cross-legged on the ground, still looking half-asleep, but his face was also a little heavy.

Yang Hao strode over, arched his hand and said, "Dao Chief, please speak here." ”

Fu Yaozi bowed his head slightly, stood up, and walked to the side with him. Fan Laosi made a strange gesture towards his subordinates, and those soldiers immediately scattered in all directions, faintly forming a circle around them, and his hand also quietly clenched the hilt of the knife, and the corner of Fu Shaozi's eyes swept away, and he turned to Yang Hao disapprerovitically.

Yang Hao asked solemnly: "Dao Changtong's medical skills?" ”

Fu Yaozi bowed his head and said: "The poor road is in the art of Danshi Qihuang, and I know a little bit about it." ”

Yang Hao asked again: "That person...... Is there really a plague? ”

"Yes, this disease attacks very quickly, once the epidemic occurs, it only takes half a day to attack, and it kills quickly, and the benefits are worse than the sword soldiers."

Yang Hao's heart sank, paced back and forth a few steps, and said: "The epidemic, once it spreads, ......, Dao Chief, now the others ...... I mean, his family, could they be infected? ”

Fu Yaozi shook his head and said: "There are no symptoms of infection now, but among these tens of thousands of people, whether he is the only one who has suffered from the plague is still unknown." ”

Yang Hao frowned and said, "This is what the official is worried about. Tens of thousands of people, if the plague really spreads, it will be really ......"

He raised his head and asked, "Is there a cure for this disease?" ”

Fu Yaozi sighed, shook his head and said: "The poor road can be cured, but there is no medicine, and the poor road is helpless." ”

Yang Hao raised his head abruptly, looked at the starry sky, and said with a wry smile: "What I can do, I have done everything." The rest, it's up to you, and I hope God will have mercy on us and give us a way to live. ”

He looked back and shouted, "Fan Laosi." ”

Fan Laosi immediately rushed over, holding the hilt of the knife, glanced at Fu Yaozi with a hint of murder, and said, "Your Excellency, please command." ”

"You take a few people, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth towel, and get some firewood to cremate the body on the spot."

"Yes, my lord, and ......"

Yang Hao was already about to leave, but when he looked back at this tone, he saw Fan Laosi squeezing his eyebrows at him, aiming at the person, Yang Hao suddenly slapped his forehead and turned around and said, "Yes, I have been dizzy and swollen for the past few days, and I am also confused." That man's family, and this Taoist leader, take them out of the care of the good students of the brigade, and if they are all right by tomorrow morning, you can release them free. However, they must be strictly instructed not to make any indiscriminate noises that cause unnecessary panic. ”

Fan Laosi was stunned, and had to reluctantly answer. Fu Yaozi was a little surprised, and when he looked at Yang Hao again, there was a hint of different color in his eyes.

Yang Hao walked back with an irritated heart, imagining the shape of countless people infected with the plague and dying unspeakably, and he couldn't help but feel like numb. In a trance, he was suddenly knocked down by a person, who groaned, couldn't stand, and fell next to him. Immediately, a small figure pounced on the man, and the man immediately screamed and shook off the black shadow, not wanting the black shadow to pounce on him again at an alarming speed, biting his face fiercely.

Yang Hao was startled, and said that there was some little beast hurting people, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was a child who pounced on the person, and was biting hard, the person slapped and beat, screaming for a while, but he couldn't get rid of the child, and a few people stood up next to a bonfire in the distance, looking at this side, but no one came over to take a closer look.

"Stop!" Yang Hao shouted loudly, stepped forward and lifted the child's vest, and as soon as the child heard his voice, he immediately shouted happily: "Uncle Yang Hao." ”

Only then did Yang Hao recognize that this child, who looked like a brave little wolf, was actually a dog, and Yang Hao couldn't help but be surprised and surprised: "Dog, what are you doing?" ”

As soon as the dog saw him, the fierceness on her face disappeared completely, and she was about to cry when her mouth was flattened: "Uncle Yang Hao, this bad guy stole our water bladder while my mother was asleep." The military master only has a little water every day, this water bladder is my mother's hard work to save just in case, this is a bad person, Uncle Yang Hao, you have to help me. ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he was angry at the bullfight, stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar and pulled him up, and when he looked at the man's appearance, he was even more angry in his heart: "It's you?" Are you a vegetarian with your sword? How dare you commit it to my hands again and again. ”

It turned out that this man had forced the woman to commit a splash in the evening with a water bladder. This bastard used his own water bladder to clean up the bad guy, and then came to steal other people's water bladders, Yang Hao was so angry that he trembled, if he had a steel knife in his hand, he would definitely be split in half like a stake at this time, and there was no second word.

The man didn't resist when he caught him, but just laughed and said, "You want to kill me?" Come on, come on, I, Dong Sixteen, never thought that I would be able to get out alive at all, and living one more day is just one more day of sin, I am afraid of everything now, that is, I am not afraid of death. ”

Yang Hao said angrily: "You want to die, but you come to steal someone else's water bladder? ”

The man sighed and muttered, "I really want to die ......, that's why I want to be happy before I die, but ...... I wanted to kill myself, but I couldn't be cruel to myself, and I was so thirsty that I wanted to steal water. Now that the crime is in your hands, you can only kill me. Anyway, I just died two days before you, and you're going to come to stay with me, haha, haha......"

Yang Hao's murderous heart rose, and Sen Ran said: "This official not only wants to kill you, but I also want to kill you alive and let you stay here as a lonely ghost, you don't have to worry about us, we will definitely go out!" ”

"Hey, hey, haha, ridiculous, ridiculous. Why do you go out? Do you know how many days it will take to walk from this desert to the Meridian Valley, which is rich in water and grass? With the speed of this large group of people, it will take at least seven days, seven days! Hey, what about getting to the Meridian Valley, there is still no food, and it takes another ten days from there to Guangyuan City, which is still the fastest speed, seventeen days, seventeen days, and we can hold out for seventeen days? It's not that the following eighteen layers of hell are more refreshing. ”

Yang Hao's body shook suddenly, and he shouted, "What are you talking about?" Don't...... Have you walked this path? ”

Dong Sixteen, who was ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ bent on death, was brought to several generals, he gritted his teeth, refused to say anything, and asked the general of Helong Chenghe for a long time with a pleasant face, and after several of his own soldiers punched and kicked and tortured, Dong Sixteen became a little ghost.

The bridge of his nose was broken, his teeth were knocked out, his nose and mouth were bleeding, and one hand was curled up like a chicken's claw as all five of his fingers were twisted. Dong Sixteen couldn't hold it anymore and screamed and confessed.

It turned out that this person was from Bazhou Mansion like Yang Hao. Because he was drunk and fighting for prostitution and killed someone, he was sentenced to death by the government. As a result, Zhu Pi, who was reviewed by the imperial court, had not yet come down, and he escaped from prison. If he wants to escape, he naturally can't run in the Central Plains, and the further south he goes, the stronger the control of the government, so he can only flee to the northwest.

However, because several roads leading from Zibazhou to the northwest were under the control of the imperial court, in order not to be caught by the government, he took an ancient road that he had heard about from the prisoners in prison. There was an old thief in the prison who had walked this road many times, and he drew the route to Dong Sixteen, and Dong Sixteen memorized the route by heart, so he began to plan the escape from prison, this secret road is the ancient river channel that Yang Hao and they are walking now.

This road was walked by him step by step, and he still remembers the death experience of those days, how can he not remember this road? After Dong Sixteen crossed this line of death, he wanted to go south to Guangyuan City, but when he arrived near Guangyuan, he found that there was still a notice of his sea fishing at the gate of the city, so he turned around and fled north, and simply slipped to the Northern Han Dynasty.

When he first walked this road, he made full preparations in advance, food, drinking water, and some emergency medicines, all of which were fully prepared, even so he almost came to despair, and now Yang Hao's migration army has thrown all his baggage at the mouth of Fuyun Valley, in his mind, how can he come to Meridian Valley alive?

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Dong Sixteen was taken down, and Yang Hao called several generals over to sit around the bonfire, with an excited face: "Generals, I want to ...... What you have been talking about for a long time has now come to an end. ”

Luo Kedi and the others were also extremely alert, and as soon as they heard him say, they immediately thought of Dong Sixteen, and Luo Kedi said: "My lord, you want to use this Dong Sixteen to save us from trouble." ”

Yang Hao said: "Yes, this person has walked this road before, and he has also been to Guangyuan. It's just that God has mercy on us and sent us this guide. I mean, send people to Guangyuan day and night on fast horses to ask for rice and grain, and then send them back by carts and horses, and at the same time, our brigade of men and horses will also rush forward with all their might, one head-on, one head-on, so that the time taken will be saved by more than half. We want to get out of this desperate situation, and it is impossible without tasting. ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately became excited, Liu Haibo thought for a while, and said: "The official family once issued an edict that the two Qincha can recruit and transfer rice and grain, civilian service, and even officers and soldiers to help each other nearby. We have the right to ask for food from Guangyuan and to recruit civilian servants to escort us. Now...... But is it up to Lord Yang to go? ”

Yang Hao groaned slightly, and said: "No, it is my idea for the army to return westward, Yang swears to live and die with all the soldiers and people, and will never leave." ”

Helong Cheng said impatiently: "Lord Yang, if you don't leave, then who will go?" When others go, how can they have the right to requisition food, civilian service, officers and soldiers. ”

Yang Hao hesitated: "What if...... How about we invite Mr. Cheng to take a trip? ”

Luo Kedi, Xu Haibo, Helongcheng and other generals shook their heads when they heard this, and even the soldiers behind them shook their heads like rattles, Helongcheng is Cheng Shixiong's person, and he has no scruples about speaking, he said hesitantly: "Lord Yang is a gentleman, and he must also guard against villains." That Cheng Dexuan can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood, you let him go to Guangyuan, isn't that a knife to others? ”

Yang Hao shook his head and said: "General He thought badly, Yang is not defenseless against him, but this matter is not something he does alone, it is a matter of tens of thousands of lives, no matter how much he hates me Yang Hao, he will never dare to do anything in this matter, Cheng Dexuan is a smart person, he will not do this kind of stupid thing that wants to be quick for a while and does not care about the benefits." ”

Yang Hao thought like this, and the others didn't dare to pin their last hope on the person who was now under house arrest by them, and even Xu Haibo, the general who was subordinate to the forbidden army, opened his mind and said unscrupulously: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Cheng Dexuan doesn't have to do anything, or deliberately delays, then what can I do in vain?" Now it seems that we can only rest assured if we invite Lord Yang to go. Here, you can rest assured, Jieyue was taken away by you, we wiped our faces, and did not recognize his identity as a chaplain, what tricks could he play. ”

The generals all resigned, Yang Hao had no choice but to accept and said: "Okay, in this case, let's let Dong Sixteen draw a map, even if it is not very accurate, I think there are mountains and rivers next to the Meridian Valley, and it is easy to find, you rest at night, distinguish the daylight during the day, and don't lose your way, when you go to the Meridian Valley, you will rest and wait there." According to the speed of our march, it will take seventeen or eighteen days to go to Guangyuan, but I will ride a fast horse, day and night, and it will only take three to four days. If all goes well, you should be in the Meridian Valley at about the same time as you are. ”

Luo Kedi rose up and said, "Okay, it's decided, tomorrow morning, Lord Yang will please set off." At the end of the day, the news that the Chin Cha personally went to Guangyuan to transport grain was told to all the soldiers and civilians, and the morale of the army was definitely boosted, so everyone insisted on going to the Meridian Valley to meet the Chin Cha Lord. When the water and rice were exhausted, the last general would kill the remaining horses and feed everyone with hunger, and they should be able to hold out for a place. ”

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Yang Hao hurriedly set off with Fan Laosi, Liu Shixuan and several other personal soldiers, and went with him, as well as Dong Sixteen, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and the old Taoist Fuyaozi. Yang Hao was worried that the plague would spread in the army, and he would bring some medicinal materials back when he went to get food.

This is a strange team, a monk who doesn't care about the world, a death row prisoner who fled to the Northern Han Dynasty, a family member who wants to be an official and then return to Bazhou to take revenge, and a few horse thieves who have joined the army.

None of these people are heroic people who serve the country and the people, but the heavy responsibility of saving tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians is on their shoulders at this time. They galloped into the wasteland, the golden sun on their shoulders, carrying the last wishes of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians......
