Once the wind in the desert rises, it is not so easy to stop, the wind blew for a whole day and a night, until the dawn of the third day is considered smaller, of course, it is just a little, but there is no stop, this wind together, the sky is cool, even the sun at noon is a little weak because of this, and it does not really bring people much warmth, if it is a march, it is okay, after all, it is moving, how much is still warmer, if it stops, The biting wind blew on the body, which must have made people chill and feel wrong, but Liu Whirlwind, who was riding a horse and standing on the high sand beam against the wind, did not care about the chill at all, although the brown single clothes were pulled by the wind, but Liu Whirlwind's tall body was still upright, a pair of eyes stared at the desert in the distance, his resolute lips were tightly closed, and his face full of wind and frost was faintly full of anxiety.

Anxiety? Yes, it is indeed anxiety - the remnants of the sand thieves who were defeated last night have fled back, and more than 2,200 cavalry have attacked the Tang army camp, and there are only less than 400 people left alive, and most of them are wounded, this tragic situation is really unexpected by Liu Whirlwind, although Liu Whirlwind was planning to lose the last game, although he already knew what the whole battle situation was about, and he also knew that the reason why he was defeated so badly was because of Dong Qianli's rebellion, but the real combat power shown by the Tang Army surprised Liu Whirlwind, In view of this, Liu Whirlwind had to carefully weigh the original battle plan, but the trouble was that a day had passed, but the Sha Fei Camel Department that cooperated with the battle had not arrived for a long time, and Liu Whirlwind had to wait for the arrival of the Sha Fei Camel Department according to his patience.

In the distance, smoke and dust billowed up, a black line gushed out from behind a low sand beam, a yellow flag swayed in the wind, embroidered with a piece of falling leaves, and there was a big black word "sand" on the side, indicating that the person who came was the "deciduous Kou" sand flying camel, as soon as he saw the big flag waving in the wind, Liu Whirlwind's face couldn't help twitching a few times, and his eyes were a little complicated, and there was both a sense of relief inside, and he was also nervous, or even a little worried. However, it was more of a jealous vigilance, but Liu Whirlwind never moved his body, let alone rode his horse to meet him, but just stood silently on the high sand beam, like a solidified statue.

The "Fallen Leaf Kou" rushed to a distance of hundreds of steps from the sand beam and stopped, not only did not continue to move forward, but lined up a vigilant formation in the same place, although all the "Fallen Leaf Kou" sand thieves did not draw their knives out of the sheath, but their hands were pressed on the handle of the knife, the meaning of such vigilance is that fools can see it, after a long silence, Sha Fei camel rode out alone, and slowly came to the distance of about fifty steps in front of the sand beam, and did not get off the horse, but just hugged his fist and shook his hand at Liu Whirlwind above the sand beam, But he didn't say hello - vigilance is a natural thing, although the two giants are now facing the same enemy, and they have temporarily formed an alliance with each other, but the grievances in the past are not just settled, this one, each other has a number in their hearts, and the sand department is coming later, and they have to guard against the "whirlwind thieves" who arrived early to set up an ambush, and it is always appropriate to be cautious, isn't it?

Seeing the vigilant formation posed by the "Fallen Leaf Kou", Liu Whirlwind didn't say much, glanced at the sand flying camel under the sand beam, nodded, shook the reins of the horse, rushed down the sand beam, and rode the horse to five steps in front of the sand flying camel with an unsuspecting look. ”

The news of He Chengye's fiasco Sha Feiluo has long known, which is also one of the reasons why Sha Feicamel has not arrived for a long time, without him, Tang Jun's fierceness is much beyond his expectations, for whether he can take Li Zhen according to the original plan, Sha Feicamel is really not a little sure, therefore, he has always hesitated, should he continue to fight with Li Zhen to the end, but unfortunately he has no way to retreat - surrender is impossible, accustomed to the days of arrogance, to Sha Feiluo to be controlled, it is simply sadder than killing him with a knife, besides, He Sha Feiluo is a native of Qiuzi country, even if he wants to surrender, it is difficult to ensure that Li Zhen is willing to accept it, even if he accepts, he is afraid that it will be difficult to be reused, the days of sitting on the cold bench are not what Sha Feiluo wants, this time he can hide and let the "whirlwind thief" send him to death, but the problem is that after the "whirlwind thief" falls, can Li Zhen let go of the rest of the "fallen leaves", obviously there is no such possibility! Therefore, Sha Feiluo thought about it for a long time, and finally led the army to come, at this time, seeing that Liu Whirlwind was frankly about the news of the fiasco, Sha Feiluo did not have a trace of schadenfreude, but nodded calmly and said: "Sha has heard about it, Brother Liu has a plan to deal with it." ”

It's not the first time that Liu Whirlwind and Sha Feiluo have dealt with each other, they have been fighting openly and secretly with each other for several years, who is what kind of person each has a lot in their hearts, at this time, seeing Sha Feiluo so candid, Liu Whirlwind was stunned at first, and then immediately came back to his senses - now the two are grasshoppers on a rope, except to help each other in the same boat, there is no other way to go, and then they have to calculate each other, they can only let Li Zhen break each other, and the ending is obviously not acceptable to both parties.

"Brother Sha, please!" Liu Whirlwind was not polite, made a gesture of please, but twisted the horse's head by himself, and slowly rode towards the poplar forest not far away, without even looking back to see if Sha Feiluo had followed. Sha Feiluo saw that Liu Whirlwind actually gave his back to himself with confidence, his heart moved, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but it was only a trace, and it was extinguished in a flash, he shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and didn't say much, just waved his hand, signaling the "Fallen Leaf Kou" troops in the distance to stand by, but he urged the ** war horse, caught up, walked side by side with Liu Whirlwind, and came to a tent set up in a large open space in front of the poplar forest without saying a word.

The tent is not big, that is, the kind commonly used by ordinary nomads, the surroundings are empty, except for Qin Wenhua who is waiting in front of the tent, there is not even a guard, the cloth curtain of the tent is open, you can clearly see the situation inside, except for a few Zhang Zi and Maza, there is no person responsible for serving, not to mention what the maid, even the next person is not half of it.

"The chief scoop and Sha Da are in charge, please two of them." Qin Wenhua smiled at Liu and Sha who came to the front and greeted them very politely, and his chic demeanor was not the slightest distorted due to the rush in the past few days, and there was no trace of disorder in a plain white scribe's uniform.

Liu Whirlwind didn't say much, just nodded, returned a salute, and took the lead in striding into the tent, while Sha Feiluo smiled at Qin Wenhua and returned the salute, then he straightened his clothes and followed into the tent. Only then did he carry the wine jug and sit down in his place, and said with a smile: "The chief scoop and the sand are in charge, both of them have already known the battle situation the night before yesterday, so I won't say more, now my third brother has fallen into the hands of Li Zhen, although my third brother is a righteous person, he should not take the initiative to reveal our plan, but it is difficult to ensure that the third brother will not be set up by Li Zhen to have some foundations, therefore, the original plan of the ambush in Liuyuan may have the risk of leakage, if it is still implemented according to the original plan, there is bound to be a risk of a fiasco, and now, We should be able to adapt to the situation in order to win a chance, what do the two leaders think? ”

Qin Wenhua asked the two masters, in fact, it was only Sha Feiluo who asked, the reason is very simple - Qin Wenhua is Liu Whirlwind's subordinate, what plan he has is discussed with Liu Whirlwind first, this Sha Feiluo knows in his heart, the current situation has to win in danger Sha Feiluo also understands, but Sha Feiluo is more concerned about how to change the law, if he wants to "fall leaves" to send him to death, in exchange for a possible victory, then Sha Feiluo will never do it, therefore, after listening to Qin Wenhua's question, Sha Feiluo didn't say anything immediately, but picked up the wine bottle in front of him, took a small sip of it lightly, frowned and said: "Qin Er's master said it well, but this change is worth pondering, what are Qin Er's plans, let's say it together, Sha Mou listened first." ”

There is something in Sha Feiluo's words, which means that you Qin Wenhua can say it, but whether you do it or not is up to you "whirlwind thieves" to have the final say. Qin Wenhua understood this, but he was not unhappy because of this, but he smiled bitterly and said: "The two are in charge, judging from the battle situation in the past few days, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is indeed worthy of it." The name of the star, the use of soldiers is strange and cautious, knowing how to advance and retreat and good scheduling, its layout is far ahead of our expectations, alas, who can know that it has already planted such a nail in Dong Qianli in our waiting, the reason why the defeat on the eve was so miserable, all because of this, is why, I thought that we were not resentful of defeat, but it was precisely because of the defeat the night before that we had a chance to win! ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Hearing Qin Wenhua say so surely, Sha Feiluo's curiosity was hooked, he frowned quickly, glanced at Liu Whirlwind, who was silent, and then asked lightly.

Qin Wenhua shook the feather fan, and analyzed with a smile: "Mingjian, the master of Shada, judging from the behavior of the Tang army in the past half a month or so, Li Zhennai, the king of Yue, is an extremely cautious person in the use of soldiers. I'm afraid that King Yue is also clear there, so I think that at this time, no matter whether King Yue himself will be relieved because of this, his soldiers must have a slack heart, this is common sense, there is no need to say more, and this will be the only chance for us to win! ”

Sha Feiluo is also an old fighter, and he can hear that what Qin Wenhua said is true, but after thinking about it for a while, he never found out where the victory opportunity of Qin Wenhua was, he couldn't help frowning, looked at Qin Wenhua suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice: "How do you say this?" ”

"It's very simple, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" Qin Wenhua retracted the smile on his face, and said very cautiously: "After the previous two battles, the Tang army will inevitably regard my desert man as nothing, even if the king of Yue himself still retains a trace of clarity, as long as we design it properly, we can catch it for the bait, a certain plan is like this: since the ambush in Liuyuan has the possibility of leakage, we will still implement it in order to confuse the heart of the king of Yue, and then set the decisive battle in Xingxing Gorge, and the battle will be decided!" ”

Sha Feiluo looked at Qin Wenhua with a solemn face, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This strategy sounds feasible, but how to operate it specifically, please ask Qin Er to explain it well, although Sha is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to complain about death, who will set up an ambush, and who will confuse King Yue?" ”

"Good question!" Qin Wenhua smiled and applauded and said: "Since the king of Yue has arranged spies in our group, then how much strength our army has is only afraid that it can't be hidden from the king of Yue, if you want to confuse the king of Yue, it is not possible to have insufficient manpower, except for a few soldiers and horses to arrive at Xingxing Gorge in advance to make relevant preparations', the one who set up the Willow Garden should be all the main forces of the two divisions of Gui and I, everything will be carried out according to the original plan, and after the surprise attack is launched, if it can be won, if it is not possible, the two departments of Gui and I can divide their troops and flee in all directions, if the army of the king of Yue is pursued separately, We can be defeated and scatter the pursuers, and then use our familiarity with the desert, several roads converge one after another, encircle and annihilate the Tang army that scattered and pursued, only the pursuing Tang army was eliminated, even if the remaining Tang army is brave, there is no number and it is not enough to be afraid, we can join forces in one place, and fight it with all our might, this is our original plan, of course, considering the caution of the king of Yue's use of troops, even if his subordinates will have soldiers and horses to kill, do not follow the order of the king of Yue to pursue the scattered noble and self-divided two divisions, I am afraid that the number will not be too much, if so, Our army can not gather and annihilate it, but can only disperse and flee, not entangled with the pursuing Tang army, causing the illusion that our army has collapsed, and then all the soldiers and horses gathered in Xingxing Gorge to set up an ambush, but the Tang army entered the valley unprepared, and the big thing was decided! ”

Qin Wenhua's analysis can be said to be the first way, not only taking into account the courage and pride of the Tang army, but also taking into account the sand thieves' familiarity with the desert terrain, and at the same time did not forget the advantages of the sand thieves' light cavalry and fast mobility, compared to the Tang army with a lot of baggage, the marching speed of the sand thieves is much higher, even if it is pretending to be a rout, it is very easy to join forces in one place, and it is absolutely sure to rush to Xingxing Gorge before the arrival of the Tang army, and arrange the relevant traps, if the Tang army is caught off guard, it is really possible to defeat the powerful Tang army in one fell swoop, So as to achieve the victory of this war, of course, the only risk is that the feint is not easy to act, without paying a certain price, but it is not able to hide the experienced Tang Army, but if it is really defeated, just like the rout the night before, the so-called ambush behind it has become a laughing stock, the obstacle is not so simple to say, Sha Feiluo is not a fool, after hearing this, he suddenly fell into contemplation, his brows were tightly locked, and a pair of eyes flashed non-stop, but he never spoke, and Liu, Qin and the others didn't urge, just sat quietly on the side, waiting for Sha Feiluo to make up his mind.

People are selfish, not to mention that Sha Feihu's sand thieves across the desert are not sages, in his mind, capturing Li Zhen and forcing him to sign an alliance under the city is of course the most important thing, but once the matter is completed, how to redivide the territory is also important - after all, now the rest of the sand thieves in the desert have basically finished playing, and there are only two giants left, how to preserve their strength from this plan and make some preparations for the future hegemony, but Sha Feiluo can't help but think about it, This thought for a long time, and finally, Sha Feiluo, who had thought clearly, finally raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then it will be done like this, a certain department will be defeated in three ways, and your department will be divided into two ways, so it can be done?" ”

At the time of defeat, the more scattered the soldiers, the less likely it is to be hit, without him, the pursuers often focus on the large share of the defeated army, but will not pay attention to the small share of the scattered army, this is the common sense of the battlefield, there is nothing to say, Sha Feiluo put forward this proposal is not very kind, its intention is just to let Liu Whirlwind to withstand the pursuit of the Tang army - "Fallen Leaf Kou" has not fought before, more than 1,800 men and horses are intact, divided into three roads, each road is more than 600 heads, and then deduct the battlefield attrition, In fact, it was not enough to reach 600, and after Liu Whirlwind's department folded for a while, it lost 7 or 800 people, even the more than 400 sand thieves who fled back were injured and unable to fight, and there were only 2,000 men and horses left, and if they were divided into two ways to escape, wouldn't they be able to bear the possible pursuit of the Tang army. Liu and Qin are both clever people, and they understand Sha Feiluo's thoughts, but the two of them have other arrangements, and they are not afraid that Sha Feiluo will be able to turn the sky over, at this time, when they heard Sha Feiluo's suggestion, Liu and Qin glanced at each other, and did not discuss much, so they saw Liu Whirlwind nodded calmly and said: "Okay, since Sha Dangjia is so refreshing, Liu has no other intentions, then it is decided, it will take a day for the Tang army to arrive here, how about you and my two departments start to prepare separately?" ”

"Okay, refreshed, let's get started!" As soon as Sha Feiluo heard that Liu Whirlwind had accepted his request, he no longer hesitated, laughed, picked up the wine bottle on a few pieces, drank the remaining wine in the bottle, smiled and arched his hand to Liu and Qin, walked out of the big tent, and sent his troops away.

"Old fox!" After Sha Feiluo withdrew from the big tent, Liu Whirlwind scolded hatefully, held the wine bottle on the few sons in his hand, but did not drink it, glanced at Qin Wenhua and said: "Second brother, the eldest brother is always uneasy in his heart, alas, I don't know what happened to the third brother, do you think King Yue will fall for this strategy?" ”

"Big brother rest assured, the third brother will be fine, it is expected that King Yue will definitely treat the third brother well, in addition to the heart of appeasing our department, King Yue is more concerned about He Thorn Shi Qiren, this little brother dares to take the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee." When Qin Wenhua said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "As for whether His Royal Highness King Yue will take the bait, I am not completely sure, I can only take one step at a time." ”

Qin Wenhua's words are also the truth, after all, Li Zhen's reputation as a good soldier is not a lie, no matter how good the plan is, it may not be able to hide it from Li Zhen, this does not need Qin Wenhua to say, Liu Whirlwind himself also knows that at this time, he can't discuss anything more, Liu Whirlwind will not say more, get up, stride to the front of the tent, open the curtain of the big tent, look at the dim sky, and after being silent for a long time, suddenly burst out: "The wind is going to stop, tomorrow will be a good weather!" ”

As soon as he heard Liu Whirlwind's words of "the wind is going to stop", Qin Wenhua, who was originally sitting firmly in the tent, couldn't help but tremble, and the feather fan he was shaking almost fell to the ground, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but at the end, he still didn't say a word, just looked at Liu Whirlwind's tall back with complicated eyes......
