"Can't stop!" The officers were also hungry and tired, but they still had to be loyal to their duties, and threatened their subordinates: "Once you stop, you will never be able to walk again!" ”

"Even if we can hold on, but the war horse can't hold on, and we have to die of exhaustion if we go on. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The soldiers said again, this is not all about finding reasons, for the cavalry, the war horse is their best brother, looking at their horses foaming at the mouth, constantly snorting, the soldiers are really distressed."

"Then give Lao Tzu a horse!" The officers waved their whips and whipped the soldiers on their horses: "I know that the horse is tired and I don't let it rest!" ”

Driven by the officers, the non-commissioned officers all dismounted and walked on foot with the reins.

At this time, the quartermaster also seized the time and began to distribute food along the ranks, and each soldier was given a small bag containing soybeans and wheat.

"Didn't you say that you ran out of food?" The soldiers were amazed and delighted.

"It's true that people are out of food, but they can't starve their horses." The quartermaster had a blank face, and took a bag of soybeans and wheat and fed a horse nearby. The horse was indeed tired and hungry, and began to chew with a loud nose. "This is really the last food, you have to eat it yourself, I can't help it."

In fact, there is no need for the quartermaster to talk nonsense, those non-commissioned officers will also take this last bit of food. Although they were also very hungry, everyone knew very well that they could not march on their two legs in this sandstorm-ravaged desert. Therefore, the last bite of grain must be reserved for the horse, not for the man.

The soldiers opened the bags one after another, and the warhorses, which had been hungry for a long time, could not wait to come up, roll up the beans and wheat in the bag with their red tongues, and eat very sweetly. Watching the horses enjoy the meal, the soldiers were relieved, but their stomachs were drumming, and they felt even more hungry.

At this time, someone shouted: "The marshal is here." ”

The soldiers turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw Wang Xian, surrounded by a group of generals, gradually moving from far to near. It is actually wrong to say that he is coming, because Wang Xian and the generals are standing on the side of the road, facing the slowly advancing team, talking to them one by one and cheering them up.

"Marshal! Marshal! When the soldiers arrived at Wang Xian's side, they stopped what they were doing and paid their respects to the commander.

"Don't be polite, beware of sprinkling food." Wang Xian smiled and nodded continuously, and said loudly to the soldiers: "There are still twenty miles to go, everyone hold on a little longer!" I've heard that the Tatars are feasting in the oasis, and if we can catch up, we can still drink from them! ”

Liu Sheng and the others behind Wang Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly: 'Grandpa is really talking nonsense with his eyes open, obviously there are still fifty miles away, and he didn't take the wrong road......

The soldiers were very encouraged, one was that there were only twenty miles left, which was not too long, and they could reach it by gritting their teeth. Hearing that Arutai was holding a banquet, the soldiers couldn't help but make up the roast whole lamb, roast beef, and the aged wine that became an altar...... One by one, their eyes glowed green, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly to that damn typhoon shelter!

The Tatars are almost wronged to death, how can our food be so good?

"Brothers, work hard! Don't let the Tartars eat up all our meat and wine! "The officers took the opportunity to loudly boost morale.

"Whew!" The soldiers burst out with a warm echo, and sure enough, only love and foodies are invincible in this world.

In the raging sandstorm, the Ming army continued to hurry, and a team of men and horses followed the guide in front of them and drilled into the giant curtain formed by the yellow sand, and gradually their figures were covered by the giant curtain and disappeared into the depths of the desert.

In the typhoon shelter of the desert oasis, the carnival was still going on, and Arutai and a group of Tatar nobles were also completely let go, they woke up and drank, drunk and slept, repeated several times, where can they still distinguish between day and night, east and west, north and south.

There were originally vigilant Tatar scouts on the periphery of the typhoon shelter, but as the carnival progressed, these scouts also drank dizziness, and there was a sandstorm outside, and the visibility was only a hundred steps. Where do you remember your mission? Even if someone came out to guard in order to deal with Shangguan, they were only standing on the edge of the oasis, and they didn't want to go deep into the sandstorm at all, let alone talk about any vigilance.

Arutai drunkenly counted the days, judging by his years of experience, the Ming army had run out of food, and when the sandstorm stopped, he led all the Tatars to kill them. Seeing that everyone up and down was drunk, the old lady decided to end the carnival, and everyone was not allowed to drink anymore.

In fact, without Arutai's order, the Tatars would not drink any more, because this group of wine bags and rice bags had drunk all the wine for three days in a row......

The revelry finally came to an end, and the snoring in the typhoon shelter was everywhere, and the thunderous snoring even drowned out the whistling of the wind and sand.

Looking at the group of drunks sleeping soundly in the tent, there are also Tatar nobles who have not drunk a drop of wine and are still sober, and said to Arutai worriedly: "Taishi, these guys are drunk like this, I'm afraid that the day after tomorrow, the combat power will not be able to recover!" ”

"Hey, there is an old saying among the Han people, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter!" Although Arutai is also good at the things in the cup, he has always remained awake, he smiled when he heard the words, reached out and touched his chin, felt that his beard had grown a few inches longer, and he was not so poked at his hands, and he couldn't help but say with a happy face: "We're not in a hurry, why wait for a day or two?" At that time, Wu Liangha and the Ming army were both defeated, and these guys also woke up. When the time comes, it's time to kill it out and see if there's anything cheap to pick ......up."

The Tatar nobleman said: 'Sure enough, he vomited the truth after drinking!' The Taishi actually said everything in his heart...... and said with a teachable compliment on his face: "Sure enough, everything is in the master's hands!" ”

"That's nature!" Arutai was very comfortable when he was photographed, and laughed and said: "The old man is a figure that Changsheng Tian is optimistic about!" ”

In the capital, since Wang Xian led the army to pursue Arutai, the hearts of the government and the opposition have been tugging.

The courtiers, especially those civil officials, criticized Wang Xian for getting carried away after a lucky victory, and disobeying the holy decree to go deep alone, in order to lead the army to a dead end! Those officials continued to impeach the above, demanding that the emperor cure Wang Xian for the crime of disobedience! There are more than a dozen bullet stamps received by the General Administration Department every day, and without exception, they are rewarded by the officials of the world who are reported by the imperial court.

Obviously, this was the behest of some big man......

As for the common people in the capital, their emotions are much more complicated, and many people are guided by the public opinion of the imperial court and begin to scold Wang Xian for being rebellious and unsubordinate, and are destined to become sinners of the Ming Dynasty! There are also many people who think that there is no reason for the labor division to go on an expedition to the grassland and flash after a battle? Seeing the opportunity to annihilate the Tatars and the Yongding steppe, Zhenguo Gong was able to withstand the pressure of the emperor and the imperial court, give up his personal honor and disgrace, and lead the soldiers to pursue for thousands of miles, he is a great hero and a hero!

There are also lovers of conspiracy theories, who spread that there are some people in the DPRK and China, and they can't see Wang Xian's great achievements, so they send gold medals and urgently summon him back to Beijing. Such a statement is actually very marketable, and many ordinary people openly scolded the traitorous party in the DPRK and China for being in power and framing Zhongliang. Some people even directly buttoned the big hat on Yang Shiqi's head, clearly saying that he was the leader of the traitorous party!

In this regard, Lord Shoufu is very sad, although it is indeed his idea to deal with Wang Xian, but it is all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor, and for the people of the world! And he didn't plan for himself in the slightest. Seeing that he was 'misunderstood' by the people, Yang Shiqi could only keep lamenting, this is really 'I want to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch'...... It is difficult to be a loyal minister, it is even more difficult to be a sober loyal minister, and it is even more difficult to be a sober loyal minister who shoulders the social responsibility!

However, today's eight-hundred-mile urgent military report made Lord Shoufu sweep away the haze, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. "This is really a sin made by heaven and forgivable, and you can't live for your own sin!"

Several scholars didn't know what good news Shoufu Lord had seen, but they were actually happy to be like this, and they came over to take a look. I saw that the military newspaper wrote succinctly: 'One hundred thousand urgent! The grain road of the army was cut off by the Duoyan people, the grain and grass of the king division was cut off, and the Zhenguo Gong insisted on going north to lead the army deep into the desert and disappeared! ’

After Yang Pu and Huang Huai saw it, their faces were as pale as earth, and the former was even more indignant: "The army is more auspicious, why is Lord Shoufu laughing?" ”

Yang Shiqi also realized that he was out of shape, coughed, and covered up: "The old man is angry and laughing!" Yes, he smiled angrily......" He said with a sinking face: "The old man persuaded him not to take the enemy lightly, and the emperor even sent gold medals to summon him back to the division, but this guy insisted on going his own way and disobeyed the order!" It's good now, it doesn't matter if he tosses it to death, and he will pay me 40,000 elite divisions of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Yang Shiqi said as he spoke, he had completely adjusted, his face was full of righteous indignation, and he trembled with anger: "Ridiculous! Lamentable! Hateful! As he spoke, he picked up the military newspaper and walked out: "The old man is going to meet the emperor, even if he dies, he can't be counted with him like this!" ”

Yang Rong hurriedly followed, Yang Pu and Huang Huai glanced at each other, and quickly followed. If such a big thing happens, they can't care about any prejudices, so they have to quickly find a way to get past this level!

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi has been on the sickbed for a few days, and he has not seen anything for several days. I heard that there was an emergency military situation, so I supported myself to change my clothes and get up, and announced to meet a few university scholars.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to report?" The Emperor asked weakly.

"The emperor must be mentally prepared," Yang Shiqi took a deep breath and said, "Wang Xian has an accident!" ”

"Huh?!" Zhu Gaochi sat up in shock, his fat face was like white paper, and his lips trembled: "He, what can happen to him?" ”

"Eight hundred miles ahead, the army grain road was cut off by the Duoyan people, the grain and grass of the Wang division were cut off, and the Zhenguo Gong insisted on going north to lead the army deep into the desert, and he was nowhere to be found!" Yang Shiqi replied in a deep voice.

Yang Shiqi's every word was like a hammer hitting the emperor's heart, and when he said the last word 'trace', the emperor finally couldn't help it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out! (To be continued.) )
