He was busy with Guan Yong and others coming to discuss the matter, and all of them, including Hong Shan and Shang Caiwei, attended this life-and-death meeting.

Xie Tong briefly introduced the situation of the oasis, the ins and outs, and the number of guards he saw, and after everyone heard it, they all fell silent, facing such a large number of horse thief troops, in the desert, they were not even qualified to fight.

Guan Yong proposed, "How about a sneak attack, the enemy is caught off guard, and it is likely to be disrupted by the sneak attack."

Xie Tong shook his head and said, "The structure of the oasis is very peculiar, there is a bare sea of sand outside, one or two thousand people rashly approach, it is impossible not to be discovered, unless there are only women and children left in the oasis, then we can attack on a large scale!"

Hong Shan suddenly showed a shallow smile at the corner of his mouth, Xie Tong knew the meaning when he heard the string song, he knew that Hong Shan had thought of a good way, but Hong Shan smiled and said nothing, she must have her thoughts.

Xie Tong hurriedly said, "Shan'er, time is pressing, it is related to the lives of two thousand people, what ideas do you have to tell me quickly!"

Hong Shan smiled and said, "Brother Tong, just now you said that only women and children can be attacked, then we will find a way to make them only have women and children!"

Xie Tong also laughed, Hong Shan's method was really exquisite.

Guan Yong asked in a daze, "I don't understand what Miss Hong means!"

Cai Wei interjected, "If you don't understand, ask your general, you see him smiling disgustingly, it's really annoying!"

Guan Yong was choked by Cai Wei, and there was no sound when he boarded.

Xie Tong almost burst into tears, and hurriedly said, "Guan Yong obeys orders!" General Ben ordered you to lead a hundred brothers to march in the two directions due north and northwest, as expected, the prince's army should be in this position, after seeing the prince, let him immediately attack Xue Yantuo's horse thief, the momentum is greater, and set off immediately!"

Guan Yong said in a low voice, "General, what should I do if I can't find the prince?"

Xie Tong also said in a low voice, "Then you don't have to come back, run for your lives!"

Guan Yong didn't expect Xie Tong to answer him like this, he stood in place blankly, not knowing what to do!

Cai Wei walked up to Guan Yong and said in a low voice, "You are really a nerd, he let you go, you must be confident, you don't need such a good opportunity, it's really not a good head!"

Guan Yong suddenly realized, only to know that Xie Tong was making him make a great contribution. I was busy and happy.

After Guan Yong left, Xie Tong said in a loud voice, "Brothers, let's go and prepare! Tomorrow after dawn, we will set off and go to the oasis."

Immediately the crowd cheered.

Because of the new discovery and the full plan, everyone was not worried about life and death, and this night slept very sweetly.

After dawn, everyone ate the shriveled horse meat, and then slowly went on the road, Xie Tong had already been here once, naturally he was familiar with the road, leading everyone to climb over one sand dune after another, and finally arrived at this beautiful oasis in the sand sea in the afternoon.

When Hong Shan saw the oasis for the first time, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Can't you imagine that there is such a beautiful place in the world, it is a paradise on earth?" Cai Wei, you see that wooden house, how natural and comfortable, and this oasis is naturally integrated into one place, ha, Shan'er loves this place so much!"

Cai Wei also showed a feeling of intoxication and infatuation, but she was not as ecstatic as Hong Shan, but stared intently at every corner of the oasis, as if she wanted to integrate every scene into her mind.

Xie Tong listened to the admiration of the two, and couldn't help but look at it, in the boundless sea of sand, such a green space emerged, blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, which was really picturesque.

Hong Shan and Cai Wei raised their legs and ran towards the oasis, as if they wanted to blend in with this beautiful land.

Xie Tong hurriedly grabbed the two of them, and now there is a lot of danger, and it is not the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The second daughter hurriedly suppressed the impulse in her heart and hid with Xie Tong at the other end of the sand dune.

This time, Xie Tong's position was excellent, because he knew that the other party had a person who knew spiritual exercises, and so many people were lurking here, and it was very easy for the other party to find out. Therefore, the team's hiding place was set farther away and safer.

Xie Tong looked around, there were strong men passing by on the oasis from time to time, and it seemed that the main force of the horse thieves was still guarding the oasis.

Hong Shan and the others couldn't help but get anxious, under the hot sun, lying on the yellow sand is not an extremely comfortable thing.

Xie Tong was also very worried, he was worried about whether the brothers would be able to survive the heat, but worried about whether Guan Yong could find King Wu's army and make key deployments, preferably to lure the snake out of the hole.

However, all worries are superfluous, and Xie Tong and the others have no other way but to die. The scorching sun directly hit everyone, coupled with the stuffiness of the yellow sand, which made Tang Jun's sweat flow, and the beads of sweat the size of beans fell on the yellow sand, and instantly disappeared into the sea of sand.

The group waited for two hours before they saw several horse thieves running from a distance and dipping into the oasis. And after the time of the two pillars of incense, the horse thieves dispatched, this time there were many people, there were three thousand, maybe this is the whole number of horse thieves!

Xue Yantuo's horse thieves seemed to be in a hurry, and this time they did not move slowly, but rode their horses and whips, and quickly ran towards the northeast.

Xie Tong was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that Guan Yong had completed the task.

As the horse thief was gone, everyone was relieved that they no longer had to endure the painful torment.

Xie Tong got up from the yellow sand and patted off the sand grains on his body, until the horse thieves disappeared from view and became a little smaller, he smiled and said, "Brothers, it's time for us to do it, all obey the order, the oasis in front of the target, go!"

Everyone drew their swords and rushed straight to the oasis.

The appearance of the Tang Army directly aroused the alarm of the residents on the oasis, and they exclaimed and sounded the alarm at the same time.

Xie Tong observed while running, and saw that all the men, women, and children on the oasis picked up their weapons and guarded the way to enter the oasis, all of them regarded death as home, without the slightest fear.

It's no wonder that these people have experienced too much life and death, and they have long forgotten it.

Xie Tong rushed to the front, and after stepping into the oasis, he rushed straight towards the old and young, women and children, and before he could get close, he intuitively felt that his feet were empty, as if he had stepped on a trap, and immediately fell downward.

He was not good at the reef, he hurriedly lifted his true qi, and used the whirlwind track technique to delay the speed of the fall as much as possible, and at the same time, the Qingyu sword stabbed towards the wall of the trap, and the sword was directly inserted into the wall, Xie Tong pulled the sword, and looked at the body, and did not fall.

Xie Tong looked down, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the one-zhang-long trap was covered with bamboo thorns, and if he fell, he would definitely die.

The old and young women and children of Xue Yantuo's horse thieves lifted a big stone and smashed it at Xie Tong in mid-air.

Xie Tong said in his heart that the hearts of these horse thieves are really vicious, he used a slight force, and his body swung to the wall, which was able to dodge two large stones, and the stones fell to the bottom of the trap, making a rumbling sound, at this time he heard the screams from outside the trap, and it seemed that there was a brother who fell into the enemy's way.

Seeing that Xie Tong was not hit by the stone, the enemy continued to lift the stone and hit him.

Several stones flew towards Xie Tong again, Xie Tong hurriedly used the light skill recorded in the whirlwind footwork - gecko wall swimming technique, pressed his hands on the damp earth wall, constantly used internal force to absorb the earth wall, and began to climb left and right, and the enemy's stones smashed into the air again.

Xie Tong secretly shouted that it was dangerous, he hurriedly took off the Qingyu sword and put it into the scabbard on his back, seeing that the enemy threw stones again, he flexibly avoided the stones, and when he climbed not far from the mouth of the trap, he lifted the true qi of his whole body, jumped up violently, and flew directly to the ground.

Before Xie Tong landed, several women and children slashed at Xie Tong with swords in their hands, although they were women and children, looking at the degree of ferocity, picking up the knife was no less than that of a man in the prime of life.

But he could not bear to kill the old and weak, women and children, and war and grievances are two different things, and the interests of the nation should not be added to the individual.

With a swing of his sword, Xie Tong cut off all the swords of several women and children in front of him, directly forcing them to retreat.

At this time, although the Tang army was slightly hindered, the trap was unsustainable after all, and the Tang army avoided the trap and rushed in directly.

Xie Tong said loudly, "It's all women and children, don't kill innocents indiscriminately!"

In less than half an hour, 2,000 Tang troops subdued all the old, young, women and children on the oasis and concentrated them in the open space in the center of the oasis.

Xie Tong hurriedly ordered to go down and replenish the water source, and before he could finish speaking, the soldiers dispersed in a hurry, and even Hong Shan and Shang Caiwei joined the ranks, leaving only the soldiers guarding the prisoners.

Xie Tong looked around the oasis, and he had to sigh at the wisdom and luck of the horse thieves, such a beautiful place was actually found by them and developed.

The oasis is lined with trees, lush aquatic plants, and is fed mainly by an underground river that passes through the desert, which is abundant, thus ensuring that the oasis can continue forever and is not affected by wind and sand.

And the horse thieves have built a powerful defense facility based on trees, and there are dozens of hidden fortresses alone, if it weren't for all the horse thieves going out, it would be difficult for Xie Tong and these horses to break through this mysterious place.

Tang Jun even drank water with men and horses, which felt very comfortable.

After the Tang army was ready, Xie Tong went straight to the open space in the middle of the oasis, looked at these women and children with a smile, and asked, "Do you know Chinese?"

He asked three times in a row, but no one answered.

Cai Wei said, "It's really boring, in the face of these stubborn guys, even communication is a big problem, Xie Tong, we might as well go on the road to find King Wu! ”

Xie Tong shook his head and said to Cai Wei with a smile, "Xie also wants to go to King Wu, but what about these people? They are the capital of Lao Tzu and the horse thieves to negotiate, once we give up on them, will the horse thieves allow us to leave the desert alive?"

Cai Wei didn't make a sound, but set her eyes on Hong Shan, who didn't have the idea of solving Xie Tong's problems at the moment, but kept looking at the beautiful scenery of the oasis.

Hong Shan said, "Don't forget, the horse thieves still have our Huo boy in their hands! They also have bargaining chips!"

Xie Tong slapped his forehead, how could he forget about this matter, should he not be carried away by the short-term victory, now Huo Zixin is still uncertain!

He hurriedly ordered to search the oasis, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would find Huo Zixin.

Everyone searched the oasis, but they didn't even see Huo Zixin's shadow.

Hong Shan said, "It seems that we can only sit down and negotiate with the other party."

Xie Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's it! Let's rest first, it is estimated that the horse thief will not be able to come back for a while, ha."

Before the words fell, the scouts came to report, and thousands of horse thieves returned.

Xie Tong was taken aback, how could it be so fast, could it be that Li Zheng was so unbeaten?

He didn't bother to think about it, and hurriedly ordered his brothers to prepare for battle, while he made his way to the edge of the oasis.

There were more than three horse thieves, and along the junction of the oasis and the desert, they stood straight for a large area, and in terms of numbers and momentum, they had already suppressed the Tang army.

Xie Tong secretly called himself smart, if it weren't for the sound of attacking the west, I'm afraid that his Tang Army would really not be enough to stuff his teeth.

From the center of the horse thief came a figure in his thirties, this person has sword eyes and starry eyebrows, good facial features, tall figure, very strong long, and a compelling momentum leaked between his eyebrows, at first glance there is a feeling of justice Ling Ran, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a horse thief.

Xie Tong thought of a person, Yelukui of the Khitan tribe once boasted, the five masters outside the Saiwai, Xue Yantuo's horse thief has a special seat, this person's name is Murong Longcheng, could it be him? Such an arrogant person is willing to be a horse thief, which is somewhat degenerate.

Xie Tong looked at him, and this person also looked at Xie Tong, and seemed to see that each other was the leader of both sides.

This person observed Xie Tong for a long time, and suddenly said, "Let go of those women and children, I can ensure that you leave the desert safely?" Otherwise, I will kill all of you, including Li Zheng's army?"

Without waiting for Xie Tong to answer, Cai Wei stepped forward and said unhappily, "What an arrogant tone, do you know who you are talking to?"

This person said coldly, "I know what, I don't know." I just know that you are a weak group and can't beat us. In this desolate desert, it cannot escape the palm of my hand."

"You", Cai Weiqi's body trembled slightly, but she didn't know how to refute him, it was the first time she had seen such an arrogant person, even his master Zhu Wen didn't have such a person in his eyes.

Xie Tong gently grabbed her, signaled him not to be angry, turned around and said with a smile, "We are weak, of course we are not worthy of Murong Longcheng's eyes, but the junior brother doesn't understand, with Brother Murong's skills and wisdom, why lead the clansmen to do such a thing as horse thieves."

This person's body trembled violently, and Xie Tong looked at it in his eyes, knowing that what he had expected was correct.

Murong Longcheng nodded, and said, "Xie Tong, I still underestimated you, and I was actually played by you, okay! Since you can see through my face, I won't talk nonsense, let those people go, I guarantee that you will leave the desert safely, and you will not pursue this matter, how about it!"

Hong Shan couldn't get angry with him, and retorted, "How do we know that you are not lying, what if you don't say it right!"

Murong Longcheng looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "In Mobei, the reputation of horse thieves is notorious, but I, Murong Longcheng, am a man of his word, the girl doesn't even know this, and she dares to come to the outside of the plug!" (To be continued.) )
