In the eyes of Liu Whirlwind and others, Amoti himself wants to find death, but he can't complain, and the sand thieves have never been bothered by the defeat or even the rout of the Amoti brothers, at most they ridiculed the Amoti brothers in their words, but what the sand thieves can't figure out is that the Tang army has suddenly become extremely cautious since they experienced the Amoti brothers' stealing camp, and they rested in place for a day without saying anything. The next few days are stop-and-go, a faction is not in a hurry to hurry, every day in the middle of the camp before the camp, Shen Shi will rest as soon as it passes, and then deduct the lunch break at noon, at the end of the day, only walk on the road of twenty or thirty miles, what makes the sand thieves even more nerve-wracking is that although the Tang army is slow, but the guard is extremely strict, whether it is when marching or camping, there is no flaw, which makes the original Pan Heng around the Tang army, trying to harass the sand thieves who are trying to harass the battle, can not find a chance to make a move, Seeing that the Tang army is like a hedgehog, and no sand thief gang dares to defy the law, this battle seems to be unable to continue, but the things that the sand thieves can't understand are staged again - on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Tang army not only did not move forward, but turned around, and retreated cautiously and vigilantly all the way to the direction of Xingxing Gorge, which seemed to be planning to turn around and return to Yumen Pass, this move greatly surprised the sand thieves, and the sand bandit leaders who were ambushed everywhere had to gather at Bison Beach again to coordinate the next plan.

said that it was to coordinate all the soldiers and horses, but in fact, there were only two people who could really have the right to speak, one was Liu Whirlwind, the boss of the "whirlwind thief", and the other was Sha Feiluo, the big boss of the "Fallen Leaf Kou", as for the so-called leaders of the rest of the mountains in front of the two major forces, let alone speak, even if they were not qualified to attend the meeting, they could only wait for the results of the negotiations between the two giants outside the big tent, but more than an hour had passed, but they never heard any news from the big tent.

No news is a normal thing, without him, the two giants sitting opposite each other in the big tent have never opened their mouths since they exchanged a few words of greetings more than an hour ago, just sat there silently, their eyes entangled with each other, as if they were not discussing but competing, no one was willing to relax first, this matter naturally could not be discussed, to put it bluntly, it is not surprising that the two forces are mortal enemies, and neither side is vegetarian, if it were not for the face of Li Zhen, the tiger, These two forces have no possibility of sitting together and coordinating their actions, and although they have come together, their hearts are still far apart, and they both want to take the lead in action, but neither is willing to speak first, and this dead silence is inevitable. "Brother Sha, there should be an end to this matter, King Yue's retreat, the Tang army will have the possibility of dispatching, if you and I don't leave King Yue, there is no need to say more about the consequences, Brother Sha should have a number in his heart." Liu Whirlwind's department was already ambushed in Bison Beach, and he was regarded as the landlord here, seeing that it was not a way to continue in such a stalemate, he could only take the lead in speaking.

Sha Fei Camel, a member of the Qiuzi tribe, is tall, with curly hair, a high nose and deep eyes, and a pair of shining blue eyes on his bronze square face turned around, as if intentionally and unintentionally glanced at the big map hanging on the right side of the big tent, stretched out his tongue and licked his slightly shriveled lips, his stiff face twitched, revealing a cold smile, and his hoarse voice sounded slowly and methodically: "It's time to have an end, I was able to see Brother Liu before, and invited a certain to participate in the hunting, and I was grateful, but now the prey is not hit, It's time to disperse. ”

Li Zhen's existence is a real threat to the two mountains, as far as Li Zhen's posture is concerned, it is bound to be impossible to let go of the sand thieves in the Hami area, this is not only Liu Whirlwind knows in his heart, but also understands the treacherous and cunning Sha Feihuo, the reason why he said the words of the gang, his intention is just to command the action, the actual meaning of the words is that you Liu Whirlwind has been busy for a long time, the plan is to plan and go, and the result of the mobilization of the army is just a void, since you can't do it, then it should be my turn to fly the camel.

Liu Whirlwind was able to make such a big name at a young age, naturally it is not easy to be with him, how could he not hear the subtext in Sha Feiluo's words, seeing Sha Feiluo's words with sarcasm, a burst of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and his already tense face immediately became **, but he did not have a seizure, but calmly said: "Brother Sha, Brother Amoti's whereabouts are now unknown, it is found that he was captured by King Yue, our plan should have been leaked, and now King Yue is turning back, presumably his heart is empty, If we can't take this opportunity to take it down, once this person turns back to Yumen Pass and leads the army to conquer it, how can there be eggs under the nest? Brother Sha, don't make a mistake about yourself. ”

"Hehe, that's, that's." Seeing that Liu Whirlwind had made things clear, Sha Feiluo laughed dryly, then frowned, shook his head and said: "King Yue is going to leave, I'm afraid no one can stop him, this battle is not easy to fight, it is not easy to fight." ”

"What Brother Sha said is very true, this battle is not easy to fight, but do I still have a choice now?" Liu Xuanfeng forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart, stared at Sha Feiluo, and asked unceremoniously.

Choose? Naturally, there are, one is to give up the Hami area that has been operating for many years, withdraw to other places for temporary refuge, and wait for the limelight to pass, the second is to directly surrender Li Zhen, but these two options are not very good choices for the sand thieves, not to mention that the Hami area is full of oil and water, how can you say that you will give up, besides, each sand thief gang in the desert has its own sphere of influence, and the whole army retreats to other people's territory, that is, to take food from other people's mouths, a vicious battle is inevitable, as for surrender, it is even more impossible, the reason is very simple, How can the sand thieves who are used to being loose and free be subject to the rules, not to mention that Li Zhen may not necessarily accept the sincerity of the sand thieves, there is actually only one way in front of the sand thieves, take Li Zhen, detain the princess, and force her to sign an alliance under the city, in order to ensure the interests of the sand thieves in the Hami area, this is already the consensus of all cottages, how can it be unclear that such a giant as Sha Feihu is not clear, and now what is fighting for is just interests - the dominance of the action is actually a disguise, Getting more land is the real benefit, Sha Fei Camel will never scatter eagles if he doesn't see rabbits, at this time, seeing Liu Whirlwind asking like this, but he was not in a hurry, he reached out and stroked his forehead, and said with a smile: "The choice is not nothing, it depends on the price?" ”

As soon as he heard Sha Feiluo mention the word price, Liu Xuanfeng's already frowning brows suddenly wrinkled a little, glanced at Sha Feiluo and said: "Brother Sha said well, everything has a price, as long as the price is right, everything is negotiable." ”

Liu Whirlwind's words are clear, that means that you Sha Fei Camel has a request to mention it, with Sha Fei Camel's knowledge, how can you not hear the meaning of the words, seeing Liu Whirlwind relieved, he was not polite at all, haha smiled and said: "Brother Liu is honest, hehe, according to my brother, I think this bison beach is good, well, Liu Yuan is also very good, the manhole cover is also good, tsk, good place, feng shui treasure land, good, good!" ”

As the largest sand thief gang in the Hami area, the best territory is naturally in the hands of Liu Whirlwind, Bison Beach, Willow Garden, and manhole covers, these are all easy to ambush lots, which are good places for robbery, Sha Feihu aimed at the fattest pieces of Liu Whirlwind's territory, Rao is Liu Whirlwind has already been psychologically prepared, but he was still choked by the greed revealed in Sha Feiluo's words, The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, a pair of eagle eyes turned blood-red, and he looked at Sha Feiluo with a sneer, and a murderous aura suddenly rose. Seeing that Liu Whirlwind was on the verge of rage, Sha Feiluo couldn't laugh anymore, his face stiffened, he was angry, and he glared at Liu Whirlwind without showing weakness, and a group of subordinates standing behind the two immediately pressed the handle of their knives with their hands, ready to shoot at any time, and the atmosphere in the big tent instantly dropped to the freezing point.

"What are the two masters doing, can Rong say the last sentence?" Seeing that the form in the tent was wrong, Qin Wenhua, the second leader of the "whirlwind thief", couldn't stand still, and stood up with a fan, and said with a smile: "The two masters need to know the allusion of the snipe and the clam competing for the profit of the fisherman, and now the tiger of King Yue is on the side, if the two masters do not work together, once the tiger has the opportunity to break out and hurt people, the consequences are unimaginable, what does the Sha Da master think?" ”

Qin Wenhua is an outlier among the sand thieves, only this person is a scholar among the nearly 6,000 sand thieves in the entire Hami area, or a scholar who reads poetry and books, the reason why Liu Whirlwind can mix well in the Hami area is basically from Qin Wenhua's plan, this Sha Fei Camel knows it, when Sha Fei Camel saw Liu Whirlwind relying on Qin Wenhua across the desert, his heart was tickled, and he also kidnapped some scholars from the caravan, trying to learn from him, but he never thought that the scholars he pulled were all useless, In addition to reciting a few crooked poems, there is no use for any fart, it makes Sha Feiluo angry half to death, and after cutting down all those wastes, he is even more envious of Liu Whirlwind's allegiance to Qin Wenhua. ”

Qin Wenhua shook the feather fan with a smile, nodded at Sha Feihuo, expressed his gratitude, and continued: "Chief scoop handle, Sha Da is in charge, according to the following, after the Amoti brothers made such a fuss, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, should be aware of our ambush, and he was unable to advance before, he was confusing us, and now retreating at full speed may also be deceitful, but considering that it is now the ninth day of September, and the October when the trade route is cut off is only more than 20 days, once the cold comes, staying in the depths of the desert is self-defeating, A certain conclusion that the king of Yue should not have the confidence to break through the layers of fortifications such as us, this is to return to the Yumen Pass, but the king of Yue and his people are proficient in the art of war, will never blindly escape, a certain is expected to set up an ambush in advance, so as to hit me and wait for a surprise, and then take advantage of the new defeat of us, calmly return to the army, this is the anti-guest main plan, even so, why don't I wait for a general to calculate, first a small defeat, and then wait for the king of Yue to withdraw the army with peace of mind, come to a half-way robbery, when you can win a big victory! ”

Qin Wenhua's words were analyzed, and everyone in the account was impressed, even Sha Feiluo and other heroes could not find fault with their reasoning, but Sha Feiluo was not in a hurry to express his position, the reason is very simple, if you don't take advantage of Liu Whirlwind's eagerness to capture Li Zhen to get more territory, there will be no store in this village, besides, this small defeat is not fun, if you want to play the play really, death and injury will be inevitable, Sha Feihuo's own strength is not as good as Liu Whirlwind, he doesn't want to be cannon fodder to die, so soAlthough Sha Feiluo secretly applauded Qin Wenhua's analysis in his heart, his face was still very calm, and he didn't even have any expression, just sat there silently.

Damn old fox! Seeing that Sha Feiluo didn't answer anything, Liu Whirlwind couldn't help but curse in his heart, and said calmly: "Brother Sha, Bison Beach is now the location of our garrison, even if it is to be handed over, we have to wait until after this battle, as for the first test of the Tang Army's reality, it can be done by others, you and I hurry to Liuyuan, how about a surprise to King Yue in the old land of Liuyuan?" ”

Seeing that Liu Whirlwind had made his words clear to this point, Sha Feiluo could no longer remain silent, but he was not satisfied with what he had gained, and thought about it with a frown: "What Brother Liu said is certainly the best policy, but I think that King Yue is not a fool, if the first person to launch is too small, I am afraid that not only can it not play a role in confusing it, but it will startle the snake, once it sees through this plan, discards the baggage, and forcibly escapes, we may not be able to hold it, if it waits for it to return to Yumen Pass and mobilize heavy troops, but how to deal with it?" ”

What Sha Feiluo said is not impossible, once Tang Junda's report is returned, not to mention the small cottages, even the two giants can't bear it, Liu Whirlwind knows it in his heart, but he knows better that Sha Feihu's words and reminders are not out of good intentions, but the idea of weakening the power of the "whirlwind thief", but now Liu Whirlwind is already difficult to ride a tiger, and he is extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but there is no way, after his eyelids jumped wildly, he gritted his teeth and said: "This is easy to do, a certain self-led 2,000 men and horses rushed to Liuyuan with Brother Sha, and the rest of the people were commanded by a certain third brother." , unite the cottage soldiers and horses to attack first, this should be enough, right? ”

The "Whirlwind Thief" actually has more than 3,200 people, leaving 1,002, plus the people and horses on other small hills, there are finally more than 2,000 people, which is very large, although it is not as good as Sha Feiluo's mind, but considering that this may be the last limit of Liu Whirlwind, Sha Feiluo will not say anything more, hehe smiled and said: "Cheng, then it is so decided, brother, I will go to order troops, and see you in the willow garden at dawn the day after tomorrow!" As soon as the words fell, he didn't give Liu Whirlwind a chance to speak, laughed and got up, led Sha Kui and other subordinates out of the big tent with a swagger, and didn't mention it when he returned to the garrison.

"Damn old dog, sooner or later I'm going to cut off his dog's head!" He Chengye was already a fiery temper, because of Liu Whirlwind's prior reminder, he endured it, and when Sha Feihu left, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, he spat hatefully and cursed, and then looked at Liu Whirlwind, who was frowning and locking his brows, and said: "Big brother, why do you have to be so tolerant of such villains, according to a certain point of view, King Yue is just a human being, and he can really have three heads and six arms, even if he is capable, he can't be arrogant when he comes to our territory, why bother so much, simply press the whole army, It's a pain ......."

"Enough, third child, you don't complain a little, you're almost twenty people, and you're still so rough." Liu Whirlwind interrupted He Chengye's nonsense with a dark face, got up, and paced back and forth in the big tent like a wounded tiger, and looked at Qin Wenhua who was smiling and silent with some unease: "Second brother, there is news from the Yumen Pass, have the two thousand soldiers and horses returned to the Yumen Pass?" ”

"There is no latest news from Yumen Pass, five days ago, the spies placed in the caravan by our department and the sentinels arranged by Xingxing Gorge have reported that the soldiers at Yumen Pass have turned around, and according to the time, they should still be on the way back to Yumen Pass, and there are at least five days to go." Qin Wenhua understood what Liu Whirlwind was worried about, and explained with a smile.

"That's good." Liu Whirlwind replied noncommittally, paced in the big tent for a while, and said with a long sigh: "That's it, you have to fight left and right, you can't sit and wait for the Tang army to come back, come here, pass the order, and the whole army will immediately pull out the camp and set off!" ”

The sky gradually darkened, except for a trace of not bright colored clouds in the distance, the desert sky was already pitch black, Li Zhen's troops who had been forcibly marching all day finally stopped, and sent several rangers to drive away the sand thieves who had been following in the distance, the whole army lit torches, and built a camp on the leeward side of a large sand dune beside the road, low fences and spacious tents were erected one by one, although it was dark and difficult to see, but Li Zhen and his party were veterans of marching and fighting, But there is no big problem, not a few moments, a camp will rise from the ground, although not to talk about heavy defense, but also orderly, light, dark, and sentry staggered, without losing the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe it's because of the forced march, or maybe it's because of the sudden cooling of the past few days, the Tang army camp is not as noisy as in the past until late at night, but early to the camp, to the day, in addition to the Chinese army tent is still burning in front of a few roaring bonfires, the entire Tang army camp fell into a darkness, the moon in the past is also because of the clouds of the obscure, it seems extremely dim, silence is synonymous at this time, even in the brightly lit tent there is not much sound, Only the faintly swaying figure showed the existence of someone in the tent, so peaceful, but not peaceful, but faintly exuding a strange aura of slaughter, and the uneasy atmosphere hovered in the night sky, making people feel a kind of nightmarish horror......
