On the other side, after a few days of marching, Yang Shuang gradually realized his recklessness -

What a wreck, can be called a self-defeating way!

The army only brought five days of grain and grass, where is five days enough to march thousands of miles?

Horse feed is not enough, war horses are starving to death, and people have no way to live!

But as a manager, he can't show his inner timidity.

"One go! Will converge with General Tang! ”

"At the time of convergence! It is the day when we wait for the Great Zhou Forbidden Army to avenge the people of the Central Plains! ”

Yang Shuang sank his heart and ordered the army to continue galloping north.

At the same time, Yang Shuang untied the grain bag on his body, and ordered a lieutenant general who was following him to throw off the grain bag while saying:

"Adjutant General, you led ten people to take the water-carrying horse sent by my brother, carrying water, and returned to Yinzhou, so that the Yinzhou battalion could transport 5,000 stone of military rations to the southern slope of Yinshan Mountain in case of emergency."

When the adjutant general heard this, he nodded his head without much thought, immediately led his horse and turned his horse's head, beckoned the ten soldiers to stop running, and turned back towards the rear of the army.

……

The next day, before dawn, Tang Yong led his troops out to reconnoiter the terrain, and judged some situations based on his previous experience in Mobei.

Just after winter, and the perennial drought, the area in front of you is almost devoid of grass all year round, which also means that this is not a suitable area for cattle and sheep grazing.

The army still needs to continue, to the north, before it can kill the Turkic barbarian tribes.

Tang Yong led a group of outposts, and when Fang detected not much, there was a low and large-scale vibration sound in the distance.

Looking at the past at a glance, Tang Yong knew that it was Yang Shuang who led his troops to converge.

"Great, General Yang is careful, with such a large army, there must still be surplus water, grain and grass."

The soldiers who detected it had long been worried about the bottomed out grain bags, and when they saw that the friendly army had finally arrived, these soldiers immediately stepped on their horses and converged towards the rushing army.

"General Tang!" Yang Shuang jumped off the horse with a heroic face and made a shoulder salute with Tang Yong:

"General Yang, dare to ask how many days of food and grass are left for the army? We waited for the advance army to set out five days ahead of schedule, and now that the water and food and grass are on the verge of exhaustion, and they can last for two days at most. ”

"And although the advance army is commanded by General Tang, after all, 20,000 soldiers are in Luoyang all the year round, and they have never been to Mobei, most of them are unsuitable and cold due to the climate, and some are not adapted to the water and soil, if they are hungry again, I am afraid that they will damage their morale."

Luoyang Duwei's words made Yang Shuang suddenly more stressed, but he didn't show it, but showed a solemn frown:

"This trip is for the Turks to taste the taste of being burned, killed, and plundered! If there is no confidence in breaking the kettle! What is better than the Turkic barbarians who roam such a wild land all year round! ”

"Not adapted? I'm not so squeamish! ”

A seat was a little inexplicably reprimanded, so that the lieutenant was speechless for a while.

Yang Shuang turned unhappily and said:

"Our army has left all the marching grain and grass on the southern slope of Yinshan Mountain, which is more than 1,000 miles away!"

"There is water, and those who lack water will take it by themselves!"

After that, Yang Shuang beckoned to Tang Yong, and the two walked towards the camp alone.

Yang Shuang was secretly glad that his brother had caught up with him, and sent him three hundred war horses each carrying more than 100 liters of drinking water.

"In the past, I only heard in the history books, since ancient times, the northern frontier of the Central Plains came to an abrupt end in Yinshan, and now it runs through Yinshan from the territory of the Zhou State, and I finally know the reason for it."

"Yinshan, drought, lack of water, no grass, and complex terrain, even if there is a nearby Yinzhou as logistics, it usually takes at least six days to go back and forth."

"However, did you really put the grain and grass on the southern slope of Yin Mountain?" As soon as Tang Yong heard this, he heard the clue.

Yang Shuang had to be frank:

"I wanted to kill all sides in the Saibei Desert with the heart of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, but the result was ......"

"I came all the way, and after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized how reckless I was."

"I think that what the Turkic barbarians can do, I can do in the Central Plains."

"Haha," Tang Yong laughed heartily:

"Coincidentally, I, Tang Yong, am also reckless."

At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent:

"Lord Boss, the water war horse still carries something else, but it wants to be sent in?"

Hearing the sound, Yang Shuang was puzzled, could it be that in addition to sending water, Brother also sent something else?

"Bring it in."

"Yes!"

The messenger hurried back and forth, and then presented something thickly wrapped in sheepskin with both hands.

Yang Shuang knew at a glance that it must be something very important.

Spread out your eyelids and looked, sure enough-

This sheepskin itself is a map of the northern part of the country! And mountains, rivers, deserts, etc., are quite detailed!

In addition, a book is wrapped in a sheepskin.

He hurriedly flipped through it, and after reading it for a short time, he showed a happy smile:

"Brother is really more careful than me, don't mention the more detailed map, you see! There is also a supplementary book of Yutu! ”

Tang Yong was also curious about what was written in it, so he went over to read it.

"Wow!"

The book describes in detail the habits of the Turkic people, such as not migrating in winter, and spending the winter quietly in the same place that has been eaten by cattle and sheep into a wasteland, feeding on the cattle and sheep that had been raised in the past.

The wasteland will not begin to grow grass until the summer of the Central Plains, and before that, the Turks who have eaten up their savings can only go south to loot goods to supplement their survival needs in order not to starve to death!

"The wasteland is a prairie! As we continue to drive, the next wasteland may be the settlement of the Turkic tribes! ”

"That's right! Wait until dawn to continue to pull! There's no need for follow-up food! ”

"Grain and grass are right in front of you!"

……

When the bleak winter sun hung overhead, there was also a deep warmth on the earth.

After the 70,000 army was merged into one, Tang Yong and Yang Shuang were the two coaches, with Tang Yong as the first!

Tang Yong informed the army that Turkic satisfaction was ahead! As soon as we meet! Don't wait for military orders!

No mercy!

When the bleak sun slowly fell to the northwest, the 70,000 cavalry seemed to stretch into a long encirclement, stretching for miles, but galloping in the same direction!

This is also what Yang Jian mentioned in the book-

The Turks are the best at using Zema to set up a "siege network", as soon as a target appears! The fence can be quickly surrounded forward at both ends! Until the target is surrounded! There is no escape! Only the share of slaughter remains!

This is a despicable brutal tactic aimed at slaughtering everything without leaving even a trace of life, Yang Shuang naturally wants to return the favor to the other side!

Not only that, but Yang Shuang also asked them to taste what a precision strike is! What is the Great Zhou Junwei!

"The two have found barbarians!"

"The two have found barbarians!"

Suddenly, the army quickly spread the general newspaper throughout the army in the form of word of mouth!

Yang Shuang and Tang Yong, who were walking in the center of the dragnet, did not see a target in front of them, but the two quickly judged-

Erdu is located about 5 zhang at the west end of the dragnet, and he is about 170 zhang (566 meters) away from Erdu!

Almost instantly, the army that was originally in a straight line, with the two capitals as the dots! The eastern end of the army quickly arced to the west!
