Chapter 756
So Huo Qubing led the army to cross the river from the Lingwu area, first crossed the Helan Mountain, then crossed the Junji Mountain, walked along the weak water, passed through the Xiaoyue area, and went deep for 2,000 miles, and came to Juyanhai, where he agreed to meet Gongsun Ao.
To put it simply, it is to go northwest, southwest, and southeast, and the whole one or two hundred and seventy degrees rotates, and it goes around a horseshoe-shaped circle.
In military terms, this is called a detour, that is, to avoid the enemy's entire defense system, create a broader strategic space, and carry out long-distance mobile operations to the enemy's flank or rear.
It is a general detour to the flanks, and a large detour to the rear. The big detour is the highest level of strategic strike, and only a peerless celebrity like Huo Quzhi can do it so beautifully.
However, Huo Quai's big detour was very difficult.
This time, the Han army was thousands of miles away from the border, passing through the hellish wilderness and no man's land, and the first thing they had to conquer was the Badain Jaran Desert and the Tengger Desert, which were vast and terrifying.
Moreover, these two deserts are mobile deserts, and due to the dry and soft sand, the dunes are moving almost all the time, and their terrain is unpredictable, making it very easy to get lost.
Not only that, but they are also one of the main sources of sandstorms in northern China, and when the wind and sand are everywhere, the sun and the moon are gone, and even the strongest warriors will be terrified.
This is truly a Jedi expedition that tests the physical strength and will of mankind. It was the height of summer, the scorching sun hung high, scorching all things in the world, at a glance, the whole world was barren, only endless sand mountains stretched to the horizon, winding like a dragon's back, high and low, up and down.
In addition to the majestic sea-like sand dunes, the desert is also a striking sight in the form of the occasional poplar forest. They live for a thousand years without withering, withering for a thousand years without falling, and for a thousand years without dying. Standing proudly, standing tall and unyielding, vowing to stick to life with 3,000 years of faith, what kind of masculinity and perseverance is this, what kind of greatness and perseverance is this.
The first time I saw such a scene, I couldn't bear to be moved in my heart, tears almost welled up in my eyes, and suddenly, I found that my determination to protect Huo Quai's illness was even more determined and persistent.
No matter how harsh the terrain and climate, no matter how dangerous the lonely journey, Huo Qubing and his soldiers could not be deterred.
This is the voice of all the hot-blooded men who are fighting for their own beliefs and for the rise and fall of the nation, they are like poplars in the desert, with their youthful and masculine bodies, silently resisting the polishing of the wind and sand and the coldness of the cold, defending the homeland of the people's lives, and step by step towards strength, step by step towards legend.
A good man, you don't need to be in the snow; Big husband, don't linger in the fireworks and dust. They only want the vigor and splendor of life, even if it is only for a moment, the heroic soul will be immortal.
After an unimaginably arduous trek, Huo Quai's tens of thousands of Han troops finally walked out of the desert and approached Juyanhai. When the fertile meadows and reeds came to their faces, all the Han soldiers were boiling, and they rushed to the lake with cheers and childlike laughter.
Who would have thought that in this rare bird and surrounded by uninhabited yellow sand, there would be such a wonderful oasis.
The Han army happily drank horses by the lake, and many people even took off their armor and jumped into the blue water, playing happily.
