In the distant Gobi, the vastness at first glance is vast. Under the circling eagle, you can see the army led by Guo Zhao stationed there.

"Although we have not encountered the main Turkic force along the way, we should not let down our guard easily. Our army must turn from passive to active in order to seize the main battle power——"

Speaking of this, facing the generals in the tent, Guo Zhao walked away and said: "Tomorrow, we will send a forward army to explore the road ahead and look for specific traces of the Turkic tribes."

"Yi Chen."

When he heard Guo standing in front calling him, Li Shen immediately stepped out of the queue and nodded: "The general is here."

"Tomorrow you will lead two thousand people to explore the road first."

Hearing this, Li Shen couldn't help but frown, thought for a moment and finally said: "The last general will take the order."

"However, Governor, if we encounter the main Turkic force on this trip, I am afraid that the two thousand people will not be able to -"

Before Li Shen could finish speaking, Guo Zhao had already raised his hand to block the way: "I believe in Yi Chen."

"The loyal minister is wise, brave and resourceful. He is familiar with military books. You should know that soldiers are more valuable than elites. If too many troops are sent out this time, it will inevitably be easy to scare the snake, and the actions will be restricted. I am afraid that it will leave traces.

, fell into the enemy’s trap.”

After that, Guo Zhao looked at Li Shen who was still trying to win over him and said: "For these two thousand people, you will select the best from the royal guards of the Xuanjia Army. The Xuanjia Army has followed the king for many years, and their tacit understanding with you cannot be replaced by anyone else.

In addition, the Xuanjia Army has always been one against ten——"

Just as Guo Zhao finished speaking, someone who had always been envious of Li Shen deliberately added jealousy and said: "No, General Li led the Xuanjia Army over the mountains and captured Daluoyin alive on a moonlit night. The story is still known throughout the Zhou Dynasty, but your Majesty

His right-hand man can do such miracles, and those Turkic barbarians are very afraid!"

Just when everyone heard the words and thought they were reasonable, they noticed that Guo Zhao's face suddenly became a little strange. Then the man remembered that although his words had put Li Shen on a rack and roasted him, they had also given Guo Zhao a shameful meal.

"But Yichen's concerns are also justified."

Speaking of this, Guo Zhao said again: "Then we will mobilize another thousand troops, three thousand Xuanjia troops, and another -"

As soon as the voice changed, Guo Zhao looked sideways at Li Wei, who looked serious and seemed about to speak, and said: "Xuan Lie Gong will have one man to guard against ten thousand people, and he is brave enough to do it. This time, you and Yichen will lead the army. We will go on the way."

Once the enemy is discovered, do not fight directly with it. Once it is firmly under surveillance, send people to deliver the message to the main camp. Then wait for backup to come in and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."

Hearing Guo Zhao's words, some of the soldiers had reservations about this decision, and their faces were a little complicated. If they really encountered the main force of the enemy's army, with three thousand people facing each other, they would undoubtedly be outnumbered.

However, after hearing Guo Zhao's supplement, they didn't know what to say. Just as Guo Zhao said, when they walked from Lanzhou City to Honghua City, all they encountered were stragglers, not even the shadow of the main Turkic force.

You can't even see it, not to mention that the Xuanjia Army is the elite of the troops stationed in the Western Regions. It can be said that one is worth ten. In addition, according to Governor Guo's wishes, these three thousand Xuanjia Army are just to inquire about the enemy's situation and look for the Turkic Khan's army. Although

Some kill chickens with a knife, but three thousand black armor troops are more suitable than other armies.

"Commander Shengming, I hope that General Li and Xuan Lieshen will be able to win this time and exaggerate the prestige of our country!"

As one person raised his voice, everyone clasped their fists and bowed their heads in response.

Seeing that several generals under Zhao Yi, like him, frowned and were about to say something, Li Shen raised his hand to stop them.

Looking at the confident Guo Zhao above, he knew that the king was far away in Lanzhou City, and Yang Yuanjing was clearly sitting on the high platform, just waiting to see Guo Zhao make the water as muddy as possible.

Now, even if these colleagues who are also under the king ask for mercy, it cannot change the fact that Guo Zhao is the leader and has the power to send and mobilize troops.

Now it is obvious that Guo Zhao is clearly trying to praise them and kill them. It is useless whether they accept the move or not.

Unless they disobey the general's orders, they will put themselves in the spotlight of others.

When the time comes, Guo Zhao will definitely think that they only obey the orders of the king and not others, and frame their Xuanjia army as being treasonous and supporting the king.

So, Yang Yuanjing, who is reaping the benefits of being a fisherman, is undoubtedly the most happy to see the results, and is busy sharpening his sword.

When he thought of this, Li Shen silently clenched his fists and turned to look at Li Wei, who was silent and looking at him.

The two of them already understood each other.

"The general will obey the order!"

Going is a trap, not going is also a trap, and may even harm the king.

It couldn’t be clearer how to choose.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Shen and Li Wei also responded with clasped fists. Guo Zhao nodded with satisfaction, handed over the troop deployment order, and said without pretentiousness: "Remember, if you encounter the enemy's main force, don't be reluctant to fight.

.”

After Li Shen and the others agreed, everyone retreated one by one.

Valley

"Xuanlie, this time I will implicate you in traveling with me."

Li Wei, who was walking side by side, heard Li Shen's words beside him, and immediately stopped, looked sideways, and met Li Wei's smiling eyes that were enjoying the pain.

"Even if he doesn't say anything, I will still ask him to accompany the army."

After saying that, Li Wei, who had always been silent and reticent, stared at Li Shen quietly, with no trace of falsehood in his commitment and perseverance.

"good!"

When Li Shen heard this, he patted Li Wei on the shoulder with a hearty smile and said, "Good brother, this time is the dragon's den and the tiger's den. You and I will dig out a hole for him."

Seeing Li Shen, who looked handsome under the moon and smiled with stars in his eyes, Li Wei, who had always been taciturn, also felt a move in his heart and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"You actually laughed. It turns out you can laugh too!"

Seeing the man in front of him, who seemed to have discovered something big and was pointing at the troublemaker, Li Wei suddenly averted his eyes unnaturally, coughed slightly, and quickly retracted his faint smile.

"Let's go to my tent and let's talk about this trip."

Watching the people's backs walking away, Guo Zhao silently walked out slowly with his hands behind his hands, until he reached the tent. Looking at the backs of the two heroic young men walking away side by side, the expectation in his eyes was unknowable.

My feelings have changed a lot, and I can't see clearly like an ancient well.

Early the next morning, the right vanguard general Li Shen and the Chinese army staff general Li Wei took three thousand Xuanjia elites and marched ahead along the route deployed by Guo Zhao. Compared with the abundant water and grass, there were lakes in the back mountains.

The further they walked in the camp where Li Shen and Li Wei were stationed, the scenery on both sides of the river became more and more deserted, until at noon on the third day, the sun was already high in the sky.

Under a cloudless sky, not to mention people who have been walking for a long time, even horses are thirsty and open their mouths.

"There seems to be a pool of water ahead."

Hearing the soldiers in the army shouting in low voices, Li Shen and Li Wei, who were sitting on the horse, looked over. In the eyes of everyone with joy, there was indeed a large area of ​​​​water, and the blue sky was reflected on it, as if it had turned into a

A mesmerizing scenery.

"General, can we rest here for a while?"

Hearing this, Li Shen and Li Wei looked at each other, and Li Wei immediately understood what he meant. He glanced around, then drove his horse and leaned over to pick up a broken branch, and headed towards the water under the eyes of everyone.

Just when he was approaching, Li Wei suddenly turned his horse and inserted the branch into the water. The next moment, his right hand sank, his eyes flashed, and he quickly turned back on his horse and galloped back.

"Be careful, it's a swamp!"

After the words fell, everyone was shocked, and then they saw that the dead branch of the tree had unknowingly sunk deeper and deeper.

"Back off."

As Li Shengao shouted, the soldiers also ordered and prohibited, and immediately retreated in an orderly manner.

However, just as the army retreated more than halfway, the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground sounded like thunder. Following the sound, one could see the black Turkish army rushing towards them like eagles and falcons, shouting and surging towards them.

Seeing that everyone instinctively did not come back to their senses, Li Shen immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Array!"

The Xuanjia Army is the Xuanjia Army after all.

With the sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed and cutting through the sky, the soldiers who were originally messy with their hooves suddenly had a backbone and regained their former cold and murderous aura.

Within a short time, they had formed a square formation, with sharp shields set up on the outermost layer, and the soldiers inside had already thrust out sharp spears from the gaps in the shields.

Like a giant beast that gathered together and showed its steel needle.

You can kill people, you can also kill horses.

"Ho!"

Following the warning sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, and filled with ferocity, the Turkic cavalry who originally came one after another like hunters were suddenly frightened, and the BMW under their crotches was so frightened that they could not help but flinch and did not dare to step forward.

It was also at this moment that the Xuanjia Army clearly saw that the Turkic cavalry in front of them was dozens of times their strength.
