Chapter 63: The Long Yellow Sand Road
The long yellow sand, as far as the eye can see, shines with a strange light under the sun.
Yan Shan's expression was calm, and he asked casually, "General Ha, are you familiar with this desert?"
Hachisong replied, "I have been to investigate." ”
Yan Shan asked again: "If you want to cross this desert and reach Helan Mountain, how can you not be discovered by the defenders of Helan Mountain?"
Ha Chisong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In the hinterland of the desert, you can walk along the sand dunes and do some camouflage. When approaching Helan Mountain, you can only walk day and night, and you must find a hiding place before dawn. In addition, chariots, horses, and camels were not available, and they had to carry dry food and drinking water on their own backs. It is also crucial not to start a fire. ”
The words are conclusive, thorough and rigorous.
Yan Shan secretly admired and muttered: "The desert is lonely, once a fire is lit, your whereabouts will be immediately exposed. ”
Hachisong bowed slightly, and continued: "Walking through the desert with heavy loads, long journeys, not building fires, overcoming severe cold and cold food, and guarding against lack of water, exhaustion and disease. ”
Yan Shan looked at the long yellow sand and said with a light smile: "How sure are you that you can arrive safely?"
Ha Chisong's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "If you are well prepared, you are at least fifty percent sure." ”
Yan Shan smiled indifferently and said slowly: "The expedition of the army is not trivial. I'm going to take a look first, and General Laoha has selected twenty shrewd and capable Western Xia warriors to accompany me. ”
Ha Chisong frowned slightly, and said with a straight face: "Brother Yan, this trip is extremely dangerous, not to mention that you are not familiar with the desert, so I should go." ”
Yan Shan shook his head slightly, and said with a light smile: "The three armies cannot be without a commander for a day, and General Ha must not leave Xiliang City." Moreover, there are more important things that must be done by General Kazakhstan. ”
Ha Chisong arched his hand and said, "Please give instructions to Brother Yan." ”
Yan Shan's expression was solemn, and he said: "From now on, the camp in the south of the city will be completely closed, and only entry and exit are allowed. The Capture Army is a team of 300 people, and conducts special training, so that they can recognize their own people in any complex environment. Also, secretly prepare 20,000 sets of military uniforms for the Zhongxing Mansion Capture Army. These two events are related to the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers, and there must be no difference. ”
If Ha Chisong realized, he didn't ask much, and said: "I, Ha Chisong, am willing to make a military order, and once there is any mistake, the military law will be carried out." ”
Yan Shan looked excited, and said in a deep voice: "I believe in General Ha." ”
The camp in the south of the city is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter but not leave, even Li Ruoxian and Li Rendao are no exception. Within ten miles, the grass and trees are all soldiers.
Li Ruoxian and Li Rendao both changed into military uniforms and conducted special training with the soldiers to share weal and woe.
Outside Xiliang City, a secret stronghold, twenty Xixia warriors stood in two rows, their military appearance neat and heroic.
Yan Shan and Ha Chisong came together, looking at these twenty people, and their hearts were full of pride.
Inadvertently, Yan Shan found that one of them was very similar to Ha Chisong between his eyebrows and eyes, and asked casually, "What is this brother's name?"
The man saluted Yan Shan and said loudly: "The last general, Haril, has seen Yan Shaoxia!"
Yan Shan smiled indifferently and nodded slightly.
Ha Chi Song Lang laughed and said proudly: "Haril is the bravest warrior in the Western Xia Kingdom, and he is also my pride. These twenty Western Xia warriors were selected from hundreds of captains, all of whom were brave and strategic, and had both ability and political integrity. ”
Yan Shan looked excited, and said loudly: "Whoever fights side by side with my Yan Shan, he is my brother." This trip is extremely dangerous, Western Xia warriors, are you afraid?"
The twenty people looked firm, resolute, and replied in unison: "We are willing to follow Yan Shaoxia to the death, and we will not give up." ”
Yan Shan bowed slightly, and said with a straight face: "From this moment on, we are brothers commensurate, okay?"
"Brother Yan!" said in unison.
If your colleagues are like this, what more can you ask for?
Twenty-one people carried their bags and set foot on the long yellow sand.
Ha Chisong stood quietly, looking at the back that was gradually moving away, and there were faint tears floating in his eyes.
