The sun has passed the middle of the sky, and now it is not so hot, it is a good time to hurry, there are still vultures flying occasionally in the sky, if someone falls, the vultures will not hesitate to come down and eat them up, there are occasional white bones on the ground, I don't know how many years ago, there are people, there are camels, the breeze blows, in some places, the yellow sand spreads, covering the white bones, and in some places, but the bones that have been buried for many years are exposed.

At the current speed of the army, it will probably be able to reach the edge of the desert and the White Dragon Pile before dark. However, on the edge of this desert, it seems that God has mercy, there happens to be an oasis, although it is not large, but there is an oasis with a spring, which used to replenish water for merchants, and now it is also a transit point for the army.

In order to show that he was leading by example, Lü Guang was also directly in front of this army, and at this time he was chatting happily with Kumarosh on a camel. Duan Ye came up at this time, but it was actually not suitable.

"Duan joins the army, is there anything wrong?" Lu Guang seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile.

Licking his somewhat cracked lips, Duan Ye saluted, "Under the festival, the front is the White Dragon Pile, out of the desert, and into the White Dragon Pile, the east of the White Dragon Pile is Gaochang Pass, if Liang Xi sends troops to guard Gaochang Pass, our army is in danger." ”

Lu Guang put away his smile and said, "Then what do you think?" ”

"Under the section, the matter has come to this, and there is no turning back, the lower officials think that although Liang Xi is mediocre, there must be a plan for his ministers to send troops to refuse, as for whether he will adopt it, the lower officials think that it is a good number. However, only if you are prepared, you can be safe, and the lower officials think that the soldiers are fast, and they must travel through the stars and nights and pass through the white dragon pile quickly. Duan Ye said in a deep voice.

The previous march, although it was said to be a rapid march, in fact, it was necessary to camp and rest at night, after all, it was a desert, and people's physical strength was consumed too quickly, and what Duan Ye said this time was actually an extremely risky plan, that is, to pass through the White Dragon Pile at night!

In a place like Bailongdui, it is very dangerous to pass through during the day, and it is almost destined to die, Duan Ye actually dares to advocate passing through at night, which makes Lu Guang, who has always been arrogant and dry, also hesitate.

Du Jin even said: "Duan joins the army, where is the white dragon pile on the ground?" Let's go through the day, we have to be cautious, lest something go wrong, and if we go there for a day, we have to rest for at least one day, but you can do it, and you still advocate that you go there at night, can the soldiers stand it? ”

Duan Ye did not give in, but looked at Lu Guangdao earnestly, "Your Majesty, without further ado!" If Liang Xi sends troops to guard the pass, he can cut off all ways to draw water, at that time, there is no way to go, there is no water source behind, and our army will be in danger! ”

Lu Guang didn't know that what Duan Ye said actually made sense, but after all, the starry night, especially in Bailongdui, this is really a bit dangerous, if you are not careful, you may confess here, wouldn't it be too cost-effective?

"Da Dezhi, what do you think?" When Lu Guang couldn't make a decision, he finally remembered the holy monk beside him.

Kumarosh still looked quiet, and there seemed to be no complaints about Lu Guang forcing him to marry, hearing Lu Guang asking, he indifferently announced a Buddha name, and said: "The old man doesn't understand military affairs, but, under the festival, everything in the world, between the trade-offs, there is a give-and-take, there is a give-and-take, slowly pass, what is the gain, what is the give-and-give, the adventure of the night, what is the gain, what is the give-up, everything is decided by the festival." ”

When Lu Guang heard this, he seemed to have an understanding in his heart. Slowly crossing the desert and carefully crossing the Bailongdui, of course, the casualties of the army will be much smaller, but the biggest loss is time, if you come to Gaochang Pass slowly, only to find that there are already flags and swords out of the sheath, what can you do? Gaochang Pass is also a strong pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to take it with a sudden decision, and it is really in a desperate situation when the time comes.

But is it really okay to march at night in Bailongdui? Throughout the ages, countless brave merchants, explorers, and treasure hunters on the Silk Road did not dare to spend the night on the White Dragon Pile, who knows what the situation will be there?

What's more, Lu Guang still has a fluke in his heart, he always intuitively thinks that Liang Xi, that idiot, will not increase troops in Gaochang Pass, he will definitely not! But the problem is that he is the commander of tens of thousands of troops, and these soldiers and generals trust themselves and put their lives in their hands, and if they are not careful, they will lose their lives.

Also, if you work hard, take huge risks, bear huge losses, and barely pass the Bailongdui, then Gaochang Pass will be quiet, what should you do? Isn't that a risk? Isn't that a sacrifice for nothing?

The difficulty of the commander is here, the people around you will give you advice, and it is all reasonable, every possible sound is correct, but unfortunately, it is the right answer, there can only be one, or even not at all what they say.

If the counselor is better than you, why should you be the leader?

Of course, this is just a general situation, there are general, there are special, for example, Duan Ye thinks in his heart that he must be the special one.

Hesitation, Lu Guang is hesitating, this is obvious to everyone, Duan Ye can see it even more clearly, and he can't help but sigh secretly in his heart, not being good at making decisions is probably the biggest flaw of Lu Guang, the leader.

It's time to add another fire, Duan Ye continued: "Jiexia! The risk of traveling at night in Bailongdui, but there are three, one of them, no one for a hundred miles, no water and no cooking, this we can be supplemented in the next oasis, Xia Guan remembers that there should be an oasis more than ten miles ahead of here, we plan to use drinking water, regular and quantitative, it should be enough, and there is no danger here. The second is that the wind and sand rise at night, the quicksand is cracked, and it is dangerous for men and horses to fall into it, and the subordinate officials think that the whole army should be divided into several groups, or a group of 50 people, or a group of 100 people, to support each other, and to intersect with knots. The third is that the beasts are yin and the ghost fire is raging, but these can make the soldiers hold torches high, expel the beasts, sing military songs, and strengthen the army. ”

When Du Jin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay!" Old Duan, you really have a bit of a ghostly talent, under the section, the last general thinks that it is feasible for Duan to join the army, please make a decision! ”

Lu Guang looked at Duan Ye steadily, Duan Ye also bravely met his gaze, his eyes were full of firmness and persistence, Lu Guang nodded, and said, "Okay, then that's it, pass the order, and do it according to Duan Joins the army!" We speed up our pace, cross the quicksand during the day, and we must spend the White Dragon Pile at night! ”

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.
