When there were only about 20 of the 500 warriors left in Zhilu Dao, Baoyin's tears were like bursting the embankment, which made people feel very distressed.

Wang Xian also remembered Delemu's entrustment, and couldn't help but feel guilty: "I'm sorry, I'm too much, don't be sad." ”

It's okay if he doesn't apologize, but he cried even more violently, covering his small mouth and rolling tears, like pear blossoms with rain. Wang Xian looked at and secretly scolded himself for being a bastard, so he had to change the topic and said, "How many garrisons are there in Guangwu Town."

"Three thousand." Bao Yin is a girl who knows the general situation, and this trick really worked. While wiping away her tears, she told Wang Xian about the aftermath. It turned out that Aru Taisheng was cautious, and the army did not forget to consider the back road when advancing, and sent his third son to lead the army to be stationed here. "Actually, it's not much, I discussed with Brother Wu and Brother Xu, and if it doesn't work, I will capture Guangwu Town. It's just waiting for you to make a decision. ”

"Alas......" Wang Xian sighed, but he couldn't raise the slightest fighting spirit at all, and slowly sat on the sand mixed with yellow grass, and said after a while: "Don't fight." ”

"Okay." Bao Yin didn't ask what Wei Lu was, nodded and listened to what he said.

"You don't ask what?" Wang Xian put his hands behind his head and said with a tired face.

"You naturally have your reasons." Bao Yin was originally angry with him, but it could be seen that his face had become high and thin, and his eyes were bloodshot, so he couldn't help but turn distressed, and he couldn't get angry anymore, so he still cooperated and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Because there's enough blood." Wang Xian said with a painful look on his face: "There are only a few people in Borzigit, and there are five hundred people at once, and there can be no more dead people, otherwise how can Borzigit gain a foothold in the Hetao?" Isn't it the end of being annexed yet? During his time with Delemu, he had grown in love with these kind and brave Borzigits. He could not forget the Borzigit brothers who had died to cover him, and he could not let their people shed any more blood.

Bao Yin looked at the real sadness on his face, nodded, and said softly, "Listen to you." ”

After resting all night, and walking out of the tent the next day, the exhaustion on Wang Xian's face became heavier, and he didn't close his eyes all night for the way out of these two thousand five hundred people.

After a simple wash, Wu Wei served a pot of broth, a few coarse dough cakes, and invited Wang Xian to breakfast.

"Isn't the food good?" Wang Xian didn't have much appetite, scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it, and said, "You can also eat mutton soup." ”

"Doesn't your adult's tongue matter?" Wu Wei said with a smile: "This is mutton, this is rabbit meat." He whispered: "My sister-in-law got up early in the morning to fight in order to make up for your body." He said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is really good to you, adults eat it while it's hot." ”

"I just saw the stupid rabbit all the time, and I just beat it by the way." At this time, Baoyin came over and whispered to Wu Wei: "Brother Wu, you still call me Baoyin, sister-in-law, I can't afford to ......"

"Alas......" Wang Xian scratched his head guiltily and diverted the topic and asked, "How much grain is left?" ”

"There's still half a month." Wu Wei thought about it, and still said truthfully: "A lot of food was lost during the retreat, and this is still the result of saving money." ”

"Hmm." As Wang Xian expected, he barely drank a bowl of soup, then pushed the whole bowl of meat to Baoyin and said, "Eat it for the wound, I'm tired of eating meat." ”

"If you don't want to eat it, it's just." Bao Yin bit her lip tightly, tears rolling in her eyes.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Wu Wei frowned, looked at Wang Xian, and stretched out his hand to take his pulse: "The pulse is slippery, the accumulation of labor has become a disease, the wind and cold have entered the body, and adults need to recuperate." ”

"What, you're sick?" Bao Yin's little emotions were immediately thrown out of the clouds, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check.

"Don't worry, it's just a little cold, I'm strong, when did I get sick? It's just a few days. Wang Xian withdrew his hand and smiled indifferently: "It's important to get down to business." Saying that, he said: "I'm not going to go through the Hanhai Corridor anymore, or as I originally thought, I will cross the Great Gobi from here."

"I understand how you feel that you don't want Borzigit to die anymore." Wu Wei frowned and said: "But the 2,000-mile Gobi has to walk for more than a month at the earliest, so many of us have people and livestock, lack of food and water, how can we get out?" ”

"It's easy to say that you are short of food, can you kill horses?" Wang Xian had already made up his mind and said: "As for the lack of water, there is actually no shortage of water in the Great Gobi, I remember that when I came, I could see springs from time to time on the road." ”

"But ten of the ** are bitter and salty, not only can they not quench their thirst, but they will drink the dead." Wu Weidao.

"As long as there is water, I have a way to make people drink." Wang Xian now regrets a little, why didn't he stick to his own opinion at the beginning, and had to pay such a big price to return to the old way. But in fact, if he had not been cornered, he would not have made up his mind to take this big risk.

"My lord, if your method doesn't work by then, then everyone won't be able to get out of the desert." Wu Wei had to be reminded.

"Don't worry, I've already tried it, and as long as I can find water, I can do it." Wang Xian said lightly. After the sudden loss of temperature in Hulan, he did some exploration, and it was precisely because he had the bottom in his heart that he dared to revisit the Great Gobi.

"Yes." Wu Wei obeyed, looked at Baoyin and said, "Sister-in-law...... Son, what do you think? ”

"Okay." Bao Yin had already known about it, so it was not surprising that when he nodded his head and passed on this order, the Borzigit people were all alarmed. In their eyes, the Great Gobi is sacred and terrifying, and the Hanhai Corridor is a passage given to them by the Immortal Heaven.

However, Baoyin Qiqige firmly supported Wang Xian's decision, believing that Wang Xian would take her people out of the desert. Beji expressed his support, and the clansmen naturally stopped saying anything, and silently began to prepare according to Wang Xian's request

Wang Xian's request was very simple, kill the surplus horses, cook the horse meat and dry it into meat, and sew the horse skin into large and small water bags to store as much water as possible. It was very difficult for the Mongols, who regarded horses as friends, to get them to kill them, but Baoyin fully cooperated with Wang Xian and persuaded his people to do what they were told.

Five days later, at dawn, the team that had killed the extra horses, threw away all the baggage, and brought almost nothing but water, food, and tents, and entered the endless Gobi.

"We want to cross the desert from now on" Wang Xian's illness seemed to be cured, he stood on a red boulder, and made the most radical encouragement to everyone: "In order to live, in order to run towards a beautiful life, we must grit our teeth and persevere, believe me, as long as we insist on doing what I say, we will definitely be able to conquer this Male-Gobi" After speaking, carrying a thirty-pound water bag on his back, he took the lead in walking into the vast Gobi.

Borzigit and two hundred Han Chinese, like him, also carried water on their backs...... The man was thirty pounds and the woman was twenty pounds, and they followed him silently. Except for the sick and wounded, everyone was on foot, and the horses carried water, food, and tents on their backs, and there was no longer any burden on them.

"Strategist, is Malegobi your new name for the Great Gobi?" Xu Huaiqing came to Wang Xian's side, stronger than the water on his back.

"Why don't you look down on me?" Wang Xianbai glanced at him and said, "Lao Tzu has strength." ”

"My brother is polite." Xu Huaiqing said with a smile: "My old Xu just has the strength to do it, so I don't need to use it in vain." As he spoke, he said not far away with his mouth: "If you have energy, help your younger brothers and sisters." Baoyin was also carrying twenty catties of water, and the clansmen wanted to help her carry it, but she resolutely refused.

"Silly woman." Wang Xian sighed and said, "Wasn't she like this before? ”

"People change." Xu Huaiqing said with a rare philosophy: "After so many things, she is no longer the same person." Daba's vision is good, and his younger brother and sister are people who can carry burdens. ”

"Asking for hardship." Wang Xian muttered a sentence and walked towards Baoyin, Xu Huaiqing shouted behind his back: "Strategist, haven't you answered me yet?" ”

"Yes, I wanted to show my contempt for it, so I gave it that name." Wang Xian shrugged and replied, walking over to Baoyin and carrying the water bag on her back. Bao Yin had already seen that it was him, but he lowered his head and didn't let go.

"Let it go." Wang Xian whispered.

Bao Yin shook her head.

Wang Xian forcibly broke her hand, Baoyin clenched his fists tightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm not your person, don't pull and pull." ”

"Huh." Wang Xianxin said that it was really a newspaper from the world, why was this so familiar, he snatched the water bag and said: "I promised Delemu that I would treat you well in the future." ”

Originally, seeing him come over to help him, Baoyin was still sweet in his heart, but when he said this, his face changed suddenly, and he took it back and said, "No, no need." ”

"If you use it, you need it." Wang Xian snatched it up.

"No, no." Bao Yin snatched it back again.

In front of everyone's eyes, the two of them snatched me like children, and finally one of them was careless, the water bag was torn, and the precious water flowed out. The two of them were in a hurry, Baoyin hurriedly grabbed the mouth with his hand, and Wang Xian caught the spilled water with a leather robe, but it didn't spill a few drops on the ground, and the cooperation was seamless.

Looking at the dancing movements of the two of them, Xu Huaiqing shook his head and said: "There is really a tacit understanding, who believes that they are not two people?" ”

"This pair of happy enemies." Wu Wei smiled and said with great feelings: "There has to be someone who has completely softened in order not to make trouble." He can see that there are problems with the xìng character of these two people, when Wang Xian is hard, Baoyin is soft, and when Wang Xian is soft, Baoyin is hard, just like sitting on a seesaw, and he can't always find a balance.

In that room, someone found an empty water bag and asked them to pour water into it, and after finishing it, Wang Xian put the water bag on his back, and the victorious general-like class returned to the court.

Bao Yin stomped her foot, and Sana said something to her a few times, but laughed again.

In this rather pleasant atmosphere, the team marched towards the depths of the Great Gobi

The verdant and vibrant grasslands have been left far behind, and they have entered the forbidden area of life.
