The sun sets over the long river, and the desert is lonely! A famous poem about the beautiful scenery of the sunset in the desert, it is true that if you come to the desert for sightseeing, this kind of scenery is enough to make people sigh that it is worth the trip, but for the people who live in the desert, this is just a commonplace scene, and there is nothing surprising, if you happen to have something important to worry about, then you will not care about such a good day, just like this Sha Kui, although his eyes look at the sunset that will not fall on the horizon, but the focus of his eyes is very scattered, his face is full of dazedness, and even the order to camp the whole army has forgotten to the side, just stunned there.

"General Sha, can you set up camp?" The deputy general He Chengye saw that Sha Kui was standing on the side of the road for a long time and did not react, so he had to ride his horse to catch up, and asked in a low voice.

"Oh." Sha Kui heard the sound, and finally came back to his senses from his reverie, and was stunned and said, "Then set up camp." ”

Although he knew about Sha Kui's thoughts, and could see that Sha Kui was so unrelenting, He Chengye couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't say anything, and respectfully responded "yes", and went to arrange for the grain army to camp without mentioning it.

Since the beginning of the war, the transportation task is heavy, because the battle line is too long, it is impossible to supply day by day, so it can only be sent to the front line in batches with Shaya City as a transit station, not only cattle and sheep, grain, but also arrows and weapons have to be moved thousands of miles from Jiaohe to the front line, fortunately, there are many horses in the Western Regions, and there is no shortage of carriages, and the people are still enthusiastic about the war, and it is not difficult to mobilize, so that the supply can barely be unhindered, otherwise, once the front line is short of food, the war will not have to be fought, which is indispensable to Sha Kui's planningAccording to Li Zhen's words, to win the battle, logistics is the first achievement, the current front-line war is going well, seeing a great achievement is indispensable, but Sha Kui can't be happy, his heart is heavy and uncomfortable, as soon as the camp is set up, leading a group of subordinates to hurriedly inspect it, Sha Kui is a little sullen and retracted back into his own Chinese army tent, and stuck on the futon in a silent daze, and didn't even have the heart to use dinner. Hurriedly turned over and sat up, and then looked at He Chengye, who had walked into the big tent at some point, threw a small gourd over.

"Wine?" Sha Kui nodded at He Chengye, unscrewed the lid on the gourd casually, sniffed it at the end of his nose, and immediately screamed in surprise.

"Shh It is an iron law in the army that no alcohol is allowed in military affairs, once it is violated, its crime is not small, regardless of whether it is a general or a small soldier, all of them are military sticks waiting, as soon as he heard Sha Kui shouting so loudly, He Chengye hurriedly put his finger on his lips and sighed.

Sha Kui and He Chengye are generally born as sand thieves, and in the past, they were all masters who drank wine and ate meat in large bowls, but since they voted for Li Zhen, because of the strict discipline in the army, they have not been able to touch the wine a few times at all, and the wine worms in the stomach have long been suffocated. ”

"Don't, if you don't drink it, go and bring it yourself!" He Chengye stretched out his hand and tried to copy the wine gourd, so frightened that Sha Kui hurriedly hid the wine gourd behind him, and said happily: "This is a forbidden thing, since it is discovered, it should be confiscated, but the general is acting impartially." ”

"Heh, you are a second sand child, you have put up an official shelf, you have to count me as unlucky, I don't care about you, half of each is done?" He Chengye returned Sha Kui's punch with a smile, sat down on the futon, and joked with a smile.

"Done!" Sha Kui raised his head, took a sip of wine, spit out the wine, and his mood was suddenly refreshed, laughing and throwing the wine gourd to He Chengye.

He Chengye picked up the wine gourd that fell beside him, took a sip of the gourd, and swallowed it for a while, then swallowed it a little reluctantly, glanced at Sha Kui and said: "Sha Lao Er, I have always looked down on you in the past, but I didn't expect that now I have become your subordinate, this world is really unpredictable, hehe, a certain has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he originally planned to fight on the battlefield for a long time, but unfortunately, first the grass fell, and now he has become the leader of the fire-headed army, I really don't know what jokes God made with Lao Tzu." ”

He Chengye's words were extraordinarily resentful, of course, he did have reason to complain - not to mention his two sworn brothers, one is now the deputy commander of the cavalry, and the other has become the assassin of Daxi Prefecture, not to mention that Sha Kui, who was originally ranked alongside him, is now an official captain, and seeing that after this battle, the knighthood is waiting, so he said that among his He Chengye's original subordinates, several of them are now at the level of Guoyi Lieutenant, and they are all on an equal footing with him He Chengye in terms of official rank and status. This makes He Chengye, who has always been arrogant, feel very uncomfortable, and it is nothing on weekdays, but now it may be because he secretly drank wine, so he let go of it, and he nagged.

Sha Kui is now the chief dispatcher of the logistics baggage, and he is already one of the senior generals in the Anxi Army, plus he has always been sociable, very well-informed, and he has heard a little about He Chengye's affairs, and knows that it is not so simple inside, in the past, He Chengye did not say, he also pretended not to know, and at this time, when he saw He Chengye mention it, he smiled and said: "Okay, you old He, you kid is in the blessing and don't know the blessing, hehe, you don't need to fight, and the credit is indispensable to you, you, just wait for the knight." ”

"It's boring, I don't want to get this kind of credit, if it's possible, I hope to go to the battlefield like a big brother and fight with a knife and a gun, like this kind of cheap thing, is it what a manly man should do." He Chengye did not appear excited by Sha Kui's persuasion, but his face turned gloomy, he took a sip of wine, and said a little boringly.

He Chengye didn't mention the word "big brother", but as soon as he mentioned it, Sha Kui thought of his brother Changsha Flying Camel, who had now been put into Qiuzi Country, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, shook his head wordlessly, and after being silent for a long time, he got up and patted He Chengye's shoulder and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, just don't talk about this, I will arrive at the border of Qiuci early tomorrow morning, these days are not peaceful, it is better to pay more attention, this wine will be drunk here, it is not early, Brother He should also go to rest early." ”

"Ugh." He Chengye sighed, didn't say anything more, got up and was about to leave the tent, but just walked to the door of the big tent but suddenly stopped, on the side of his head, as if he heard something, suddenly a spirit, no matter how surprised Sha Kui's face was, he fell to the ground suddenly, put his ears tightly on the sand, just listened, he jumped up, and said with a solemn face: "It's not good, there is a large group of cavalry approaching our camp, and the comer is not good!" ”

At this time, seeing that what He Chengye said was not like a falsehood, he didn't care about asking carefully, jumped up, rushed out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and ordered loudly: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army assembles and prepares for war." ”

As soon as He Chengye's voice fell, the pro-soldiers guarding outside his tent hurriedly sounded the emergency assembly number, and the originally peaceful camp immediately became chaotic, and between the bonfires, the officers and soldiers who were running in a hurry could be seen everywhere, fortunately, the Tang Army had relevant drills to deal with emergencies on weekdays, although the officers and soldiers were chaotic but not panicked, but in a moment, five hundred cavalry had completed the assembly, gathered at the entrance of the barracks and waited for Sha Kui to give the battle order, and at the same time, a Biao army horse killed from the upper reaches of the Tarim River also rushed to the camp not far away, Seeing that the Tang army was already prepared, he stopped by himself and lined up less than 300 paces away from the Tang army's camp; although he could not see the banner of the incoming enemy or the number of the incoming enemy clearly in the dark night, he could know that the number of this group of incoming enemies was at least three times that of the Tang army's strength just by looking at the dotted torches in the ranks of the enemy army.

Oh no, it's a big trouble this time! Seeing the strength of the enemy's army, Sha Kui's heart sank suddenly, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart - Sha Kui is not afraid of war, if there is no grain and straw here, Sha Kui is not afraid of the other party's strength at all, but at this time, there is a lot of grain and baggage, plus there is a group of people who have little combat effectiveness to take care of, Sha Kui really has no courage to fight hard with the other party, without him, once the grain is lost, even if he wins this battle, it will be useless, if he misses the battle ahead, he Sha Kui has a few heads and is not enough to cut off.

"Brother Sha, this place is the realm of my Anxi, where did it come from, like many soldiers and horses, it shouldn't be the ghost of King Qiuzi's class." Seeing that Sha Kui didn't speak for a long time, He Chengye said with some doubts.

"Brother He, I led a few brothers up to see what was going on, and led the brothers to defend the camp, once things are not harmonious, don't fight hard, stick to it until dawn, and try to return to Puchang." Sha Kui groaned for a moment and whispered.

"It's not proper, Brother Sha is the main general, and he can't move easily, so it's better to go." He Chengye disagreed with Sha Kui's proposal, and as soon as he mentioned the reins of the horse, he wanted to lead his guards forward, but he never thought that Sha Kui was quick with his hands, and grabbed He Chengye and said: "This is an order, you must obey it!" ”

"Okay, Brother Sha be careful, a certain is to watch the enemy's formation." The military discipline of the Tang Army in Anxi is extremely strict, and what is required is the absolute obedience of the subordinates to the superiors, at this time Sha Kui raised the word "order", He Chengye immediately lost his temper, and in desperation, he could only nod his head in agreement.

"Hmm." Sha Kui didn't say much, led a few guards out of the camp gate, bypassed the antlers, fences and other things in front of the camp gate, and slowly walked towards the direction of the enemy who was arraying, and in a few breaths he had reached a distance of about forty or fifty steps in front of the enemy array, let go of his throat and asked loudly: "Who are you waiting for?" Dare to storm the camp of our Tang Army. ”

In the dark, a general with a torch walked out of the array, and before Sha Kui could see who it was, a particularly familiar voice sounded: "Is it the second brother, I am your eldest brother." ”

"How are you?" Sha Kui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help blurting out: "You traitor, what are you doing here?" ”

"Second brother, where do you start with this, you and I are both from the country of Qiuzi, how can we betray our motherland, you must know that no matter how good the country is, it can't compare to your own grass nest, second brother, Your Majesty is thirsty for talent, and always hopes that the second brother can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and will treat you with a high position, and the second brother must not mistake himself." It was none other than Sha Feiluo, who didn't mind Sha Kui calling him a traitor, but persuaded him earnestly.

"Let go of the ......" Sha Kui was already angry in his heart, without him, since he beat Sha Feiluo and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, although Li Zhen did not discriminate against him because of this, and even reused it, but the generals below did not have a thorn in their words, which made Sha Kui feel inferior to others, and the depression in his heart was not enough for outsiders. It's not good to anger Sha Feiluo too much, so he had to swallow back those scolding words, took a deep breath, and forced himself to stabilize his mind and said: "A certain is a general of the Tang Dynasty, how can you vote for villains such as King Qiuzi, this matter has to be mentioned again, why did the eldest brother lead the army to come this time?" You must know that this place is the realm of my Anxi, and the king of Qiuzi wants to declare war with my Tang Dynasty? ”

"The second brother laughed, the place where the eldest brother is standing is still in the realm of my turtles, and he has never crossed the border, how can he say that he has declared war?" Sha Feiluo shrugged his shoulders disapprenousfully and said.

There is no clear border between Qiuci and Anxi, this place is between Puchang and Wanhe City of Qiuci, no one can tell what kind of territory this place is, Sha Feiluo insisted on saying so, Sha Kui couldn't do anything about him, and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, even if the eldest brother said it is good, but I Anxi and the king of Qiuci have an agreement, but the king of Qiuci agreed to my Anxi to borrow the road, and now our army is marching normally, but what is the reason why Ertu led the army to come?" ”

"The second brother said well, the road is the road of my Qiuzi country, whether to borrow or not to borrow is also up to me Qiuzi, my country agreed to lend the road before, but now, now the loan period has arrived, my country wants to take back the road, this makes sense, the second brother trespassed into our country without permission, what is the reason?" Sha Feiluo smiled slyly and said slowly.

"You ......" As soon as he heard Sha Feiluo's strong words, Sha Kui couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Sha Feiluo angrily and said: "You are so daring, don't you bully me Anxi and no one cares?" ”

"There is no reason to be loud, this is the case, why should the second brother be angry, and go to see Your Majesty with the eldest brother, according to the talent of the second brother, there should be a lot to do." Sha Kui was angry, but Sha Feiluo didn't care, and continued to persuade with a smile.

"Fart! I only have a decapitated general in Datang, and I have not surrendered the general! Sha Kui finally couldn't help scolding, pulled out his waist knife, cut off the hem of the robe, threw it in the direction of Sha Feihuo, and said hatefully: "Since you have died to be a thief, you will cut off your robe with you today, you take your sunshine road, and you will no longer be brothers." ”

As soon as Sha Kui's words came out, Sha Feiluo's face changed under the reflection of the torches, and he was silent for a long time, and then he said hoarsely: "Why is the second brother like this, I think that you and my brothers left home to start a business, and how many storms and waves they went through before they could hit a piece of the sky, but after Li Zhen's house came, he not only killed the third brother, but also forced us to work for him, how can this hatred and hatred be eliminated, the eldest brother is just a false and wronged snake, and when he has the opportunity, he should avenge the third brother, and the second brother doesn't understand the hard work of the eldest brother. How can you say such heartless words, how can this be called a big brother's love? ”

Sha Zhen, the third elder of the Sha family, wanted to compete with Li Zhen at the beginning, but he never wanted to be swept off the horse by Li Zhen, although he was not killed by Li Zhen himself, but in the chaos of the army, he was trampled to death by the galloping war horse, and his death was really a hidden pain in the hearts of the two brothers of the Sha family, but Sha Kui did not resent Li Zhen because of this, after all, Li Zhen was already a subordinate at the beginning, and he could only blame Sha Zhen for his bad luck, although Sha Kui was sad, but he could accept it, at this time, he heard Sha Feiluo mention the dead third brother in front of him, It was not very comfortable in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything more about this matter, so he was stunned and said with a straight face: "It's useless to say more, people have their own aspirations, you are willing to fall, but you can't be accompanied. ”

As soon as Sha Kui's voice fell, he planned to withdraw to his own camp as soon as he twisted his horse's head and then make plans, but he never thought that Sha Feihuo immediately changed his face, pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and said with a sneer: "You have trespassed on my Qiuzi border without permission, it is easy to come, do you want to leave?" It's okay to have such a cheap one. As soon as he finished speaking, he urged his horse to kill Shakui.

The distance between the two sides was already close, Sha Feiluo had rushed to the front in an instant, although Sha Kui knew that his martial arts were far inferior to his brother, it could be seen that it was impossible to get out at this time, so he had to draw his knife to meet the past, and the two brothers were killed together in the dark night, several Sha Kui's personal guards did not dare to slack off, and rushed up to try to rescue their own commander, but they never wanted to rush out of the more than a dozen horses from the Qiuzi ** formation, surrounded the Tang army in the field, and a chaotic battle began.

"Grandma, damn it!" Seeing that the front was hit, He Chengye was suddenly so angry that he scolded - he had already heard the words of the Sha family brothers clearly, and at this time, seeing a battle was inevitable, he was anxious in his heart, worried about Sha Kui's safety, and did not dare to wave the army to support, without him, at this time, the enemy army was strong, once the Tang army left the camp, then even the last bit of geographical advantage was lost, if so, there is no doubt that it would definitely be the end of the annihilation of the whole army, helplessly, He Chengye could only force himself to suppress the impulse to immediately plunge the whole army into battle, and ordered the cavalry of the Tang Army, which had been on standby for a long time, to dismount and guard the key places in the camp respectively, and even ordered the four ballistas that were originally transported to the front line in the baggage were all transferred out, and hurriedly got on the crossbows, arranged them in front of the camp gate, and waited for the enemy's strong attack. can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

The skirmish on the battlefield did not last long - Sha Kui was not known for his strength, and he was able to serve as a logistics baggage transport officer because he was good at communication and flexible in his mind, and when it came to the ability of the battle formation, he couldn't catch up with his brother Sha Feiluo, and this handover was handed over to Sha Feiluo after a few face-to-face efforts were knocked off the scimitar by Sha Feiluo and captured alive, as for Sha Kui's personal guards in the case of being outnumbered, although they fought desperately, it was a pity that it was useless, and they all died heroically on the spot.

Sha Fei camel rode back to the army, threw Sha Kui caught under his armpit to the ground, shouted and ordered his soldiers to tie up Sha Kui, and then waved his knife violently at the Tang army camp, and ordered loudly: "The whole army assaults!" As soon as this order was given, thousands of cavalry cavalry who had been on standby for a long time immediately rushed towards the Tang army camp with their horses roaring, and the earth trembled with the sound of horses' hooves.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Seeing that the enemy army was menacing, He Chengye's eyes turned red suddenly, and he loudly ordered the Tang officers and soldiers who had already opened their bows and arrows to release arrows to block the attack, but at this time, the Tang army was so scarce that it was impossible to form a dense rain of arrows, how could it be possible to block the impact momentum of the Qiuzi army, and the situation had reached a critical juncture......
