"It's interesting, it's interesting, it's really incredible that such a chess game would decline. ”

"That's why I said I wouldn't lose Go. ”

"It's incredible, the chess players play against each other on the chessboard, like two armies fighting each other, although there is no sword in sight, but the danger is not reduced. ”

The emperor smiled: "The teacher looks at me at this step, arch pawn." ”

"Vault. ”

"Get out of the car. ”

......

......

"Old Sixth!" Tang Si shouted, pointing to Tang Liu's back, "If a rope is not tied, it is possible to remove the armor on the battlefield." ”

"Hehe, Fourth Brother Xie reminded. ”

At the Qingzhou Plateau station, the 100,000 foot soldiers led by General Wu Dianhou finally arrived and replaced the garrison of 30,000 nameless horsemen.

I thought that at this time I would withdraw from Qingzhou and return to the central part of the defense, where Pingchuan was the main position of the two countries in the war.

However, the warrant brought by General Wu Dianhou surprised the nameless cavalry adjutant general stationed here.

"30,000 nameless horsemen marched north, took the south of the Han Road from Chaonan, resisted the enemy, and the food and grass supplies of 100,000 foot soldiers could be taken at will. ”

The opposite side of Qingzhou is Nanhan Road, and the south of Nanhan Road is ...... Uninhabited, all yellow sand.

If it is said that it will be taken, it will be easy, and the enemy may not be encountered at all, but the meaning of resisting the enemy army is also very clear, and these 30,000 nameless horsemen must be stationed in place.

And the food and grass supply of 100,000 foot soldiers will be taken at will, that is to say, they will be alone outside the yellow sand, without reinforcements and supplies.

If the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, there is a desert behind them, and they have no second choice but to fight to the death.

Your Majesty just said three words and three orders, but dragged this nameless cavalry army to death, this is a death order!

The nameless lieutenant general held a letter paper with His Majesty's handwritten imperial letter, stamped with a seal, and was speechless for a long time.

And General Wu Dianhou also looked at him silently, he had just learned that His Majesty had given this kind of order.

Although the position of the deputy general of the nameless horse is half a level lower than that of the left and right generals of Wudian, it is half a level higher than him, the rear general, so it is not easy for him to say anything first.

"Do your Majesty's will!"

The adjutant general said in a deep voice, his voice was sonorous and powerful, without the slightest ambiguity, the soldiers died on the border, and there was no better ending than this.

Your Majesty is not a faint king, there must be a reason for him to do this, even if he is sent to death, as long as he can win the battle, what is it.

But the only thing that made the lieutenant general haunted was that if they were really going to die, the nameless rider would be undefeated for three hundred years...... It's up to them to carry it.

"General Sha ......" after the general wanted to say something.

Vice General Sha waved his hand, and the careful general order was stuffed into his arms: "Don't worry, Sha is a puppet, he only knows how to fight, and he doesn't have a temper, maybe it's good luck from the sky." ”

General Hou's face was puzzled, and Adjutant General Sha walked out of the military tent with a smile.

"My surname is Sha, isn't this time corresponding to my fate, if I can come back, Your Majesty will not reward General Wudian Zuo, I will not do it. ”

Vice General Sha left, while General Wu Dianhou looked at the map and sighed heavily.

"Hopefully you'll come back alive. ”

Before leaving, he also got a secret order: unless the holy decree arrives, even if Chang'an City is broken, these 100,000 foot soldiers will not be allowed to step out of the Qingzhou Plateau.

......

......

"Big brother, water bladder!"

"Okay!" Tang smiled and took the water bladder thrown by the second brother, and heard Tang Si's voice again.

"It's like I'm going back, this dog's day place, I can't cook a soup, and it's hard to eat some cooked food. ”

"Fourth brother, you can't help but fight, right? Except for last year's New Year's battle, you're almost idle here. ”

"Stinky boy, you know a fart!"

"Okay, hurry up and clean up, there is still time for a stick of incense. Tang Er, the only one with a brain, said.

After receiving the order, the 30,000 nameless riders were integrated in just two sticks of incense.

The tall Wanzhou war horse roared from time to time, and the iron-inlaid horses' hooves were restlessly scraping the ground, as if they had smelled blood in advance.

"Let's go!"

Vice Admiral Sha roared and took the lead, and the sound of 'departure' was passed by the patrol to every position.

This undefeated army began to march in the direction of what could be a certain defeat.

Down the plateau, out of the desert, into the desert, away from Qingzhou, rolling yellow sand to make every oasis on the way is precious.

"One day, we should be able to come across a massive oasis with a spring that will be enough for the whole army to replenish once. ”

Tang Si raised his eyebrows with one hand, looked at the sun in the sky, and calculated the direction and time of departure.

"I don't understand why we're moving in this direction. ”

"This should have reached the boundary of Chaohannan Road, and a big war broke out in the Central Plains?

Tang Yi shook his head: "I don't know, the general didn't say anything, but it won't be to send him to death." ”

"Damn, I had a fight with me back then, and I went deep into the territory of Lichao, and I haven't done this for a long time. Tang Si swallowed his saliva.

"Fourth brother, how do you know that there is an oasis in front of you?" Tang Liu tugged at the reins.

"When I was a scout, I met a brother who had retired from Qingzhou, and he told me, don't underestimate the scouts, you look at the map hanging in the general's tent, and the terrain hundreds of miles north of the border line I faced was all exchanged for the lives of these brothers who did not want to die. ”

"The desert here is fine, if it is the Central Plains, as long as you step into the boundary of the Leaving Dynasty, there may be those brothers buried under your feet. ”

"They are also undefeated because they are defeated...... I didn't come back. ”

Tang Si's voice was not loud, and his usual coldness disappeared from his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Tang Liu, who was on the side, nodded and fell into deep thought.

The night in the desert is very cold, colder than the plateau, and what is even more uncomfortable is that the plateau at least does not have a single foot and a pit.

Finally, after the camp was set up, the brothers gathered together and started a fire.

"What about the fourth and sixth?"

Tang Wu pointed outside, added a handful of firewood, and remained silent.

Tang Er rubbed his hands: "Night patrol, it's their turn today, big brother, your memory is getting worse and worse." ”

Tang Yi scratched his head with a smile and put a pot on the fire.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, Tang Si and Tang Liu walked in gasping, and one person took a bowl of hot soup and warmed his body.

"What's going on?"

"Don't mention it, someone was arrested outside the camp, this ghost place where no one is seen for a hundred miles, there is a bald head under the moon, which scares Lao Tzu. ”

"Monk?" Tang Er asked.

"Well, monk, I should have left the court, I just sent it to General Sha's big tent, and I took the opportunity to come back and drink soup. ”

Wiping the corners of their mouths, the two hurriedly put down the soup bowl and walked out.

......

......

Vice Admiral Sha looked at the monk in front of him, and the fire crackled.

On such a cold night, the monk in an ordinary Shamen blue monk's robe was shivering from the cold, and his lips were purple, but he still didn't drink a mouthful of hot soup.

"I only have broth here, you can drink it or not. Vice Admiral Sha squinted and said.

The monk clasped his hands together and said nothing.

"What's your name?"

"Lotus pond. ”

Vice Admiral Sha leaned forward and tapped his fingers on the tabletop: "Lotus Pond...... Pure Land Sect Leaving the Chao Yong'an Temple?"

The Lotus Pond monk shook his head: "Mingtuo Temple." ”

Vice Admiral Sha took a breath, his fingers tapping on the table suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he looked at this monk solemnly for the first time.

"What are you going to do with me?"

"Yes, talk about the way and seek the law. ”

"You're not shy about it. ”

"Monks don't speak. ”

Vice Admiral Sha leaned back on the wooden chair and smiled: "Don't talk, then you may have to run for nothing, and I will take you back to the court." ”

With that, Vice Admiral Sha summoned soldiers and took the Lotus Pond monk down.

In the open space of the camp, the cold wind was cold, and the lotus pond in a single dress sat cross-legged on the ground, his lips were bruised, although he was trembling, but the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth were continuous.

The soldier on duty at night on the side smiled: "Monk, do you say that your Buddha is powerful, or our Dao Ancestor is powerful?"

"The Taoist ancestor passed on the principle of killing the chaotic world, and the Buddha realized the method of liberation from the cliff face, which cannot be compared. Lianchi shook his head.

The soldier smiled, unconcerned.

The next day, Vice General Sha glared at the empty wooden cage and shouted angrily: "Eighty military staffs! Get them yourself! Not a single monk can look at them!"

Then Adjutant General Sha returned to the military tent, fetched a carrier pigeon, and spread the news, and the 30,000-strong army had breakfast and continued to march.
