Chapter 36: Can You Take Me to the Desert?

Yellow sand, gravel, desolate and lifeless.

The Northwest Army outpost is the only vitality on the edge of the desert, and it has stood firm in the wind and dust for many years, closely monitoring every move of the Qiang people on the northern front.

Xia Feng had not yet approached the northern village, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the north wind rushed to his face. With a tense face, she immediately pulled her horse in front of the camp, frowning: "We're late, this herd of animals!" "

This..." Qian Shan rolled over and dismounted, kicked open the gate of the village, and saw seven vertical and eight on the ground, almost worthy of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, there were Qiang people, and there were northwest warriors.

The sentry on the lookout platform fell on the shelf, and the blood ticked and ticked down the wooden ladder and splashed on Qianshan's black military boots, inconspicuous. The north wind howls, calling the dead in the air.

"They have just fought a vicious battle, and the number of Qiang people who have died is more than double that of our soldiers. It should not have been a sneak attack, our army was probably surrounded and attacked by a large group of Qiang troops.

Qian Shan squatted down to close his eyes for the soldier closest to him, and looked up and said: "Last time, forty people in the Beizhai empty warehouse were killed, you adjusted the position of the Beizhai in time to increase the strength, but I didn't expect it to be ..."

"The Beizhai is so big, now it's spring again, you can't hide in the wind and sand, the barbarian people are all poisonous snakes raised in the desert, and they are the best at dormant search in the shadows."

Xia Feng stared at the corpses on the ground, pondered for a long time, and said, "There are more than 5,000 people in the entire camp of Beizhai, all of whom were martyred here. Naiman's army had left this place at least an hour ago, and the vanguard was afraid that it had already pressed into the northern front.

"Shuai, let's hurry back to the camp." Qian Shan stood up and said urgently.

"No, go back now, eighty percent is to meet Naiman, just our kitten two or three troops, each of them can not fight Naiman's wolves head-on with wings." Xia Feng clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes were cold and resolute, and a few strands of broken hair outside his helmet were blown up and down by the north wind: "Naiman's purpose must be Shi Xia Pass, his army can't go fast, let's take a detour to Kuiyu Mountain to ambush." "

Yes. Everyone behind her said in unison.

After Xia Feng took the accompanying 2,000 soldiers and horses out of Yanzhou, he did not return to the camp first, but went straight to Beizhai.

Nai Man pulled out the three villages on the northern line, but the largest northern village has not been moved, which is certainly not a simple provocation, but a fear of scaring the grass. His viper-like eyes are the best at spying secretly, and when he catches the moment, he will hit with a single blow.

She galloped all the way and planned to set up an ambush in Beizhai, but unfortunately she came late. The Nai Man's army has crossed the border, and none of the soldiers in Beizhai have survived.

The old man Xia Yi has been soaking in the gentle village of the wind and snow for nearly two years, and suddenly asked Fan Pu to invite out to lead the troops, Xia Feng always felt that this old man would not listen to advice.

Once the old man is confused, Van Pu will definitely not be able to stop him.

Xia Feng was worried along the way, and his mind was in a mess. She had a strong intuition: the reason why the Northwest Camp blocked the news was because something happened to the old man.

If the barbarian army presses the border, once she returns to the Guanxi, it will definitely be difficult for her to leave the country again. At that time, if it is found that the old man is really enthusiastic and enters the desert, it will be difficult for Xia Feng to go deep behind enemy lines to save people even if he has the ability to reach the sky.

So after she left Yanzhou, she sent Li Feng to the camp to deliver letters to Fan Pu, and led people straight to Beizhai. I can only gamble, bet that Fan Pu has a tacit understanding with himself for many years, receive orders to hold on to Shixia Pass, bet on his father's life, and hide well in which corner of the desert.

There is no grass under the mountain for many years, and the mountain has weathered for many years, revealing jagged stone layers.

Xia Feng threw away the sand scorpion that crawled to his feet, squinted his eyes and looked at the sand and dust raised in the distance: "No, why did it come from the west, it shouldn't be just such a person, could it be a sandstorm?" "

No," Qian Shan blushed bitterly, "You didn't kill, did you still carry such luck?" "

The sandstorm from the west moved forward rapidly, and the Xia Zishuai flag sounded in the wind, breaking a way out in the yellow sand.

"Yu Handan? How did he get into Mount Kuiyu? Xia Feng stood up from behind the stone, brought his fingers to his lips, and whistled.

Yu Han took the lead, and in an instant, he ran to Xia Feng, rolled over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and his dark face was full of surprise: "See the marshal, you can be counted back." Only then did the subordinates hear the whistle, so happy that they almost fell off their horses.

Xia Feng stretched out his hand and pulled him up: "It's a lot of words, let me ask you, where is my father?"

"This... The subordinate and the husband were separated. Yu Han sighed, "A few days ago, three villages on the northern front were uprooted, and the Qiang people sent troops to harass Shixia Pass several times. The old man expected that the enemy army must be planning a large-scale attack, so he planned to lead his subordinates and the elite soldiers of the left army to take the initiative. As expected, we ran head-on into the main force of Naiman's army in the desert. We fought with them a few times, and then, once during the fight, there was a sandstorm... Scattered.

"My dad has been eating sand in the desert for decades and shouldn't be unable to find a way." Where the hell is he hiding? Xia Feng looked at the gray and yellow endless desert to the west, sighed helplessly and worriedly, turned his head to look at Yu Handan, and asked, "You chased Nai Man from the west, passing through Beizhai?"

"Yes, the subordinates have left people to properly settle the brothers in Beizhai. Nai Man had been planning for a long time, and the speed was too fast, and the scout simply did not have time to notify Beizhai. Yu Han licked the corner of his chapped mouth, untied the wine sac on his waist, poured a few mouthfuls, and handed it to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng glanced at it in disgust, and casually threw it to the guards behind him, his eyes were extremely sharp: "How many people have you brought out of the country in total, and how many people are there in my father's place now?"

"Back to the marshal, my husband ordered a total of 10,000 cavalry, and 20,000 infantry followed out of the camp. Now, there are more than 10,000 people left here, and there should be more than 10,000 people around my father-in-law.

"Enough. Xia Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and his young face was full of enthusiasm: "Since Nai Man dares to come, let him learn about my Northwest Military Prestige." Last time he let him go back, how could he not leave something behind this time. "

Throughout the ages, the desert border sand has created countless famous generals, generation after generation of soldiers have died in the border pass, one group has fallen, and a new group continues to forge ahead.

The red snake king flag on a white background of the Qiang tribe can only meander in the desert forever, and the warm wind from the south never crosses the northern pass.

Xiao Mingchen did not stay in Shouzhou for a few days, but only talked with Yan Lin Shen, and after seeing the main official of Shannan Province, he was escorted north by Xu Shi.

Holding Xia Feng's handwriting, he passed through the states unhindered and entered the northwest camp.

Fan Pu had heard of this His Royal Highness King Ning and had a deep prejudice, but thinking about Xia Dashuai's attitude, this person might become half of his own master, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously.

I had to respectfully invite people in, serve them as ancestors, and do everything in the army, and not let him have any way to contact them.

The second monk Xu Shizhang was puzzled, and came to Fan Pu's side and asked: "Sir, he is the sweetheart of the great marshal Chao Tseng, you are like this... Not okay. The marshal told me to be careful to escort, maybe when this level in front of me passes, this His Royal Highness King Ning will become our aunt.

"What's his last name?" Fan Pu wrinkled his bun face, looked up from the paperwork, and saw Xu Shi's dazed face, hating iron is not a steel road, "His surname is Xiao!" His Majesty is dead, and he is the most justified future emperor. Xiao Jing came from the wrong way, and no one was convinced when he wore a dragon robe, but he was different!
Mr.
Fan's desk slammed: "As long as he stands in Huaiyuan City now, those old princes hiding in the corner will inevitably flock to him." At that time, if the marshal does not bow down and let him drive, he will become a courtier in the mouth of that group of hypocrites! "

The big marshal is obsessed with this kid, I see that His Royal Highness is also interesting to our big marshal," Xu Shi didn't care, only hehe smirked, "This is not right, I saw that Xiao Jing was not good for me." King JeanninHis Highness ascended the throne, let's get a queen as a marshal, won't the brothers follow suit? "

The great marshal is guarding one side, holding heavy soldiers, and the lard is muddy? Van Pu threw his pen up, "If the princes of one side don't do it, go and be a canary that doesn't look good?" "

These days, Xia Feng is not there, and all the big and small things in the military mansion are looking for Mr. Fan. He was already in a hurry, but it coincided with the eventful autumn, and the chaos everywhere pressed the gourd and floated the scoop. The Qiang army came to attack and bombed, which directly exploded Mr. Fan's life.

The old man did not listen to the advice and went into the desert to break contact, Xia Feng did not enter the camp, only sent someone to tell her to stay, and there was no unnecessary order. Poor Van Pu was a scholar, he couldn't pull the heavy arrows, and he was forced to go to the city wall when the incident was imminent, trembling and holding the pass.

"I see that our handsome is lard paste. Xu Shi saw that his face was not good, and said in a low and vague voice.

Fan Pu made two big heads, circled around the military tent twice, and said: "Scouts come to report, the marshal and General Yu Wei designed an ambush in Kuiyu Mountain to ambush the Nai Man's army, winning more with less, defeating nearly half of the main force of the Qiang army, and the dilemma of Shixia Pass can be solved for the time being." General Xu, you will lead troops out of the country tonight to support the marshal. "

Yes. Xu Shi arched his hand, "Can the marshal leave a secret note? Can the scouts detect their bearings?

"Nothing. Although Nai Man suffered heavy losses, the main force remained. The windy and sandy terrain in the desert changed day by day, and the marshal and her husband entered the depths of the yellow sand, and if they had not been supported, they could easily fall into the siege of the Qiang army. Fan Pu sighed, "My husband has lost contact for more than half a month, if there is one... Bah. "

This, how to find this," Xu Shi's face stiffened, unable to believe it, "Can't I go to the desert and put up a flag and let the marshal find me?" The marshal hasn't come yet, so I'll let Nai Man destroy it first.

"You ask me, I ask who to go?" Our marshal has always done things as he pleases, marching and fighting, and there is no regular patrol. Van Pu almost didn't come up in one breath, "In case they fall into a dangerous place and can't wait for rescue, will you and I carry our heads in the future to make amends to the marshal?"

"Okay, I have to order, I'll go count the soldiers and horses, and leave the country after dark." Xu Shi swallowed his spit with a bitter face.

Xiao Mingchen was standing in front of the tent basking in the sun, and the northwest had rare good weather, so he changed into a spring shirt and was leisurely.

Seeing Xu Shi walking past the tent with a bitter face, Xiao Mingchen smiled and called: "General Xu, something happened, look at this sadness, there are folds on the forehead."

Xu Shi turned his head and approached him, sat on the ground and sighed: "Your Highness, the sky is about to fall, so you can laugh."

"Oh, what do you say? Xiao Mingchen was puzzled.

The two of them got along very well all the way north, to be precise, Xiao Mingchen's efforts to win people's hearts.

Xu Shi was completely defenseless and brainwashed by him, and in a few words, he explained the bottom cleanly, talked about big and small things, and sold himself thoroughly.

He listened to and pulled His Royal Highness King Ning into the account, and explained Fang Cai Fanpu's words cleanly. Fortunately, he still had some brains, and did not explain Fan Pu's jealousy of Xiao Mingchen.

Xiao Mingchen listened to him calmly, his eyebrows were gloomy, stared at the stripes of the military tent for a long time, and slowly spoke: "The marshal saved me several times, I have always felt in my heart, and I can't repay it." General Xu, I may be able to find them in the desert, can you take me with you? "
