"Rumble!" Under the leadership of Li Longji, the Tang army advanced quickly, the sound of hooves was like thunder, where the horses' hooves were stepped, the soil was splashed, and a huge dark cloud appeared in the sky, connecting the sky to the ground, and the captain was magnificent.
"King Yuchu, a hundred miles east of us, there is a Turkic army of five or six hundred people." Pei Xiaoke came on a horse and reported to Li Longji.
"Send a thousand men to destroy this Turkic army." Li Longji immediately ordered.
"Rumble!" Immediately, a thousand Tang troops galloped out.
It didn't take long for this small Turkic army to be broken to pieces by the Tang army.
"King Yuchu, there is a Turkic army of 2,000 people in the northwest direction who is resting." Pei Xiaoke reported.
"Li Kuan, you lead 5,000 people to destroy this Turkic army." Li Longji ordered loudly.
Li Kuan received the order and led 5,000 Tang troops to go forward, and soon destroyed this Turkic army.
In this way, under the leadership of Li Longji, this Tang army of tens of thousands of people crisscrossed the desert, specifically searching for water and grassland, and gained a lot, and from time to time hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops appeared, and Li Longji decisively sent the Tang army to eliminate these Turks one by one.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Black Sand City, the tooth tent of silence.
Silent Si, Lust Valley and Tuoxi, as well as a few ministers present.
The war has begun, and the ministers have already gone to command the army to fight, and most of the ministers left behind are strategists and the like, and rarely lead the army to the battlefield.
"Khan, that's not right." Tun Lust Gu frowned, groaned for a while, and sobbed silently.
"Not quite right." Mo Si nodded and said, "It's a good strategy for us to deal with the Tang Army with a guerrilla strategy. It's just that our army has suffered a lot of losses, and it has been constantly revealed by the Tang army, why is this? ”
"yes." A minister had a frightened look on his face and said, "Up to now, we have lost seventy or eighty thousand troops. If we continue like this, we won't last long. ”
Within a dozen days of the Tang army entering the desert, the Turks lost 70,000 or 80,000 troops, which was amazing.
According to Mo Si's assumption, as long as the Turks take guerrilla fighting and fully exploit the advantages of the Turks' familiarity with the desert, they can drag down the Tang army. However, the progress of the war was far beyond his imagination, and no matter where the Turks were hiding, the Tang army could always appear.
As soon as the Tang army appeared as a Turkic army, a large army gathered and launched a fierce attack on the Turks, causing heavy casualties to the Turks.
In just a few days, the Turks lost 70,000 or 80,000 troops. According to this calculation, at most two or three months, the army of Mo Si will be completely lost. If there is no army, what is there to talk about restoring the country?
"Especially that Li Longji, he killed 30,000 Great Turkic warriors, it's hateful." Lust Valley had a look of hatred on his face.
In the past ten days, the Turks have lost 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and almost 30,000 of them were killed by Li Longji, which really made them hateful, and said with hatred: "This Li Longji is a big trouble, if you don't get rid of it, there will be endless troubles." ”
"Father Khan, I am willing to lead the troops to kill Li Longji." Tuoxi's eyes flashed with hatred and anger, and he cried out for his life.
He was captured by Li Longji, which made him very angry, and he was thinking about seeking revenge on Li Longji all the time.
"It is inevitable to get rid of Li Longji, but not at the moment, our army cannot be exposed prematurely." Although Mo Si was angry, he did not lose his mind, and said: "The current Tang army is in full swing, and if our army is exposed, it will be besieged." ”
The current Tang army has high morale and vigor, and if the Turkic army is exposed, the Tang army will inevitably surround it from all directions, and it will be a catastrophe.
If you want to deal with Li Longji, don't even think about it without an army of 50,000 or 60,000, if the army of 50,000 or 60,000 is finished, it will be a huge loss.
"Khan is wise." Tun Yugu raised his eyebrows and said, "We can wait to deal with Li Longji, but we have to think of a countermeasure now, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"That's right." Mo Si nodded and said, "I've thought about it carefully, the most attacked by our army is in the water meadow, and that's the problem. ”
"Water meadows?" Tun Desire Valley was suddenly startled, with a look of shock on his face, and said: "Wang Xiaojie is really good, and he actually found our lifeline." ”
The water meadows are really the lifeblood of the Turks. Although Mo Si asked the Turkic army to adopt guerrilla fighting and not engage the Tang army head-on, however, the Turkic resting place was mostly water meadows, and as long as the Tang army focused on the water meadows, they could find the Turks and attack the Turkic army.
"How's that going to be?" The Turks are nomadic peoples, inseparable from water meadows. If Tang Jun just stared at the water meadow, it would be a big trouble, and Tuoxi's face changed greatly.
"Don't panic." Mo Si was very calm and said: "Although Wang Xiaojie's hand is good, it is not impossible to deal with it. ”
"Khan, do you have a plan?" The ministers hurriedly asked, their eyes widening.
"In the past, the Great Turkic warriors camped and rested in the water meadows, but now the situation is different, and we can't rest in the water meadows." Mo Si analyzed, and said: "Horses want to eat grass, and there is grass on the desert, which is not difficult, just need to solve the water and it will not be a problem." ”
The Turks are nomadic people and cannot do without water meadows. Of course, this is only relatively. War horses have to eat grass, and there is a lot of grass in the desert, so you don't necessarily have to go to the water meadow, and there is only one water problem left.
"Order: It is strictly forbidden to camp and rest in the water meadows, violators will be beheaded!" Mo Si rolled his eyes, burst into a burst of light, and said loudly: "All departments should bring more leather bags, bring more water, and go to the water and grassland as little as possible." ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! The ministers praised loudly.
This is definitely a good way to deal with the Tang Army, and it is impossible not to praise the ministers.
The desert is very large, and if you find a place to hide, the Tang army may not be able to find it.
"Wang Xiaojie, what can you do to me?" The corners of his mouth turned up.

Tang Jun stopped to rest, and Li Longji and Chen Xuanli, Zhang Shuo, and Xue Zhi gathered together.
"This Pei Xiaoke, it's true, he hasn't found the Turks for several days." Zhang Xiaofei complained, but he was very dissatisfied.
"Don't worry." Chen Xuanli comforted him and said: "As long as we stare at the water meadow, we can find the Turks, and you have to kill them." ”
"yes." Xue Zhi echoed.
"Gotta get it!" The sound of hurried hooves sounded, and I saw Pei Xiaoke galloping his horse.
"Pei Xiaoke, have you found the Turks? Haha, I have to fight again. Zhang Xiaofei cheered, gearing up, eager to kill immediately.
"I must have found the Turks." Chen Xuanli and Xue Zhi had bright eyes and high morale.
Pei Xiaoke came closer, flew off his horse, walked over quickly, saluted Li Longji, and said, "King Chu, something is not right." ”
"How so?" Li Longji was a little surprised and asked.
"King Chu, I haven't found the Turks in the past few days, and there is a reason for it." Pei Xiaoke's brows furrowed, and he said: "It's not that there is no trace of the current Turks, it's just that we went too late, and the Turks have already left." If it's once or twice, it's probably a coincidence, and it's been five times so far, and it's no coincidence. ”
Zhang said that their faces were solemn.
As Pei Xiaoke said, if you go late once or twice, it can be a coincidence, and it will not be right to go five times in a row.
"Tell me more." Li Longji's face was solemn.
"For the first time, we showed Turkic traces in the water meadows, and the number of them was not much, about seven or eight hundred. There are no traces of Turkic encampment on the water meadows, only messy hoof prints. Pei Xiaoke's voice was a little high, and he said: "I didn't care about it at the time, thinking it was a Turk that temporarily replenished water." ”
After a slight pause, he said: "Later, there were four batches in a row, and the number of people varied, but there was one thing in common, that is, they did not camp in the water meadow, but just replenished the water and left. ”
"This ......" everyone was shocked, all of them shocked.
Previously, Li Longji and the others had killed a lot of Turks, close to 30,000 people, except for a very few who were accidentally bumped into on the road, the rest were solved in the water meadows.
If you stare at the water meadows, you will be able to see the Turks, and you will be able to gain something.
Nowadays, the Turks do not stay in the water meadows, as long as they replenish the water, they will leave immediately, which is too abnormal.
"There is only one possibility, the Turks changed their tactics." Li Longji's eyes sparkled.
"That's right." The crowd agreed with this.
This can only be explained by the change of tactics of the Turks, otherwise it would not have been possible for so many Turks not to rest and camp in the water meadows. You must know that the Turks are nomadic people and cannot do without water and grassland, just as the Tang army cannot do without grain and grass. The Turks didn't stay in the water meadows for more, so they could only change their playing style by silently.
"This is a problem." Zhang Xiaofei was straight and said, "If the Turks don't stay on the water and grass, but jump around in the desert, where can we find it?" ”
Everyone was in a heavy mood, just nodded and did not speak.
The desert is vast and immense, if the Turks do not stay in the water meadows, but find a random place to hide, where to find it? Don't say that 400,000 Tang troops, even millions of Tang troops may not be able to be found.
"Zhang said, do you have a good way?" Chen Xuanli frowned and thought about it, there was no good way, but he could only ask the resourceful Zhang Shuo.
Everyone was very convinced of Zhang Shuo's talent, and their eyes fell on him.
"Nope." Zhang shook his head.
"Silent sob, this hand is ruthless." The crowd sighed.
Mo Si's hand was indeed ruthless, hitting the vital point of the Tang Army. For the Tang Army, it is necessary to fight and decide, and it cannot be delayed. Because the supply of hundreds of thousands of Tang troops is a big problem, even with the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to last. The Turks did not fight with the Tang army, they hid without a trace, and they were determined to drag the Tang army down, which was really a ruthless move.
You look at me, I look at you, with a helpless face.
"Mo Si's hand is ruthless, but it's not impossible to deal with." Li Longji looked calm, as if he didn't know that Mo Si's move was ruthless enough.
"King Chu, do you have a way?"
"How?"
Zhang Shuo's eyes fell on Li Longji's head, all looking forward to it.
"I have a way, the enemy changes and I change, we can cut off the Turkic grain route." Li Longji nodded.
"You ......" Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, and Xue Zhi disappeared their expectations, their faces darkened, and they looked at Li Longji, shaking their heads, with a disappointed face.
"King Chu, what you said is not right." Zhang Xiaofei said quickly: "The Turks come and go like the wind, there is no grain and grass, how can we cut off the grain route of the Turks?" King Chu, are you talking nonsense? ”
This is direct enough, and it doesn't give Li Longji face at all, Zhang said that they nodded in agreement.
Actually, Zhang Xiaofei's words are still good, and it is good not to say that Li Longji has lost his mind.
"If you are a person, you have to eat and drink, even the Turks have to eat and drink." Li Longji said lightly as if he hadn't heard Zhang Xiaofei's accusation.
"King Chu, if you are a person, you have to eat and drink, which is true, but where is the Turkic grain route?" Chen Xuanli shook his head, looking incredulous.
"Water meadows." Li Longji only said three words.
"Water meadows?" Xue Zhi shook his head and said, "The Turks don't go there anymore, and it's useless for us to stare at the water meadows." ”
"Understood." Zhang Shuo slapped his forehead with a look of surprise.
