I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 213 Mirage, Desert, Blood
There are three major deserts in the north of Qilian Mountains, Tengger, Ulanqab and Badain Jaran.

The yellow sand all over the sky around the desert is nothing to the Yuezhi people who come and go here all the year round.

But the Huns are different. They live on the vast northern grassland all year round. When the spring returns to the land, they herd sheep and live in peace. When winter comes, they will slaughter their flocks to cope with the cold winter.

Therefore, the Huns are used to migrating back and forth with the climate, and the farthest place they migrate is the Hetao area. Facing such poor places as the Gobi Desert, even the Huns are afraid.

Fortunately, Mao Dun Shanyu led the remaining 3 people into the Badain Jaran Desert.

Facing the soft yellow sand and huge dust, Maodun Shanyu's face was full of sadness and ashes.

Because he knew clearly that Da Qin would definitely not allow himself to escape, so there would definitely be Da Qin's pursuers behind him.

If he can't find a way to get out of the desert, the last cavalry of the Huns will definitely be buried in the yellow sand, and he will be buried in his hands so far.

"Damn Meng Tian, ​​how did he escape from Shangjun to Qilian Mountain?"

This question of Modu may have never been imagined by the Huns.

What made matters worse was that Ba Chi didn't come with him, which hurt his uncle Ba Chi, and Maodun Shanyu couldn't even find a decent general by his side.

Then think of the 10,000+ army lost only more than 3, which is a little less than the previous attack on the Huns.

Mao Dun Shanyu couldn't bear the sadness in his heart any longer, and burst into tears.

It's a pity that the wind and sand were too strong, and Mao Dun Shanyu's tear line instantly turned into two sand-covered lines.

Getting lost may be the normal state of people who enter the desert. Looking at the same sand sea everywhere, Mao Dun was sure that he was lost.

"Could it be that I, the Huns, are so greedy that the gods will punish me for this?"

Mao Dun Shanyu thought about it, and finally attributed all this to the greed of his inner unit.

However, just when he was desperate, an oasis appeared in the depths of the sand sea.

In astonishment, before Mao Dun had time to speak, he heard commotion behind him.

"Look! Oasis!"

"It's saved now..."

"The gods have manifested, the gods have manifested."

"Damn it, I have to jump into the oasis and have a drink."

The turmoil and discussion immediately ignited the depressed Huns.Mao Dun Shanyu saw the way out, needless to say, he rode his horse towards the oasis when he was excited.

……

Just waiting for Mao Dun Shanyu to lead his soldiers to pursue the oasis.

Zhao Yun, who entered the desert a few hours earlier than them, naturally also appeared on the edge of the desert.

Looking at the yellow sand all over the sky, Zhao Yun was a little dazed.

But thinking that this was the first time that Li Yu had arranged a mission alone and let him lead the army alone, Zhao Yun couldn't be calm for a long time.

As a result, Zhao Yun brandished his spear a few times, then placed it across the camel's back, and then ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, the camels are fed and drunk, and are ready to go into the desert."

Before the words fell, the guide of the Yuezhi National Camel Team arranged by Li Yu and the envoy of the Daqin Dian almost opened their mouths one after the other and said: "General Zilong, the horseshoe prints of the Huns will be broken here." And it is impossible to trace the traces of the Huns in the sand sea. The guide of the camel team said that as long as the wind direction is always northwest, then you can’t enter the desert. You have to wait until the moon comes out at night, chasing the stars in the sky. , so as not to get lost."

Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. Judging from the current weather, if he followed the guidance of the Yuezhi people's guide, it would mean that the army would have to wait two or three hours outside the desert.

Calculated in this way, the Huns walked forward for half a day.

And Zhao Yun was slightly worried that the remnants of the Huns would take the opportunity to leave the desert and return to Juyanze by detour.

You must know that there are only a few thousand people left in Juyanze to suppress the Xiongnu civilians.If the Huns were lucky enough to get out of the desert, not only would they not be able to keep Ju Yanze who had just been taken down, but even the guards of the Great Qin might not be able to survive.

Zhao Yun couldn't help being anxious, but the guide was right. If Zhao Yun ventured into the desert and lost his way in the future, it would not only be disadvantageous for chasing the Huns, but the 2 people behind him might also be punished with him.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun could only wave his hands and said, "In this case, the whole army should rest for half a day. And take this opportunity to get familiar with the control of the camels. Although our trip is a pursuit, compared with the number of remaining cavalry of the Huns, it is still It’s far from enough. Only if you can drive the camel like your arms, can you defeat the Huns and return to Daqin alive to receive the rewards you deserve.”

Zhao Yun is not a big man, but he is very skilled. After this arrangement, there are somewhat shadows of Li Yu's arrangements.

And while the sound resounded around, all the generals of the thousands of troops in charge of the [-] camel cavalry also looked sideways at Eshou, and were encouraged and convinced by Zhao Yun's clear arrangements.

For this reason, the entire army could only rest on the edge of the Badain Jaran Desert, leaning on camels until the moon rose.

……

Half a day later, the moon rises, and the starlight shines on the earth.

The Yuezhi guide pointed to the brightest star in the sky, facing the north, and said: "Just follow it, even if the Huns go half a day ahead of us, I can guarantee that we will find the traces of the Huns. Not lost."

The guide dared to guarantee that he was very confident in facing the vast desert, and he was talking about experience.

Zhao Yun nodded inadvertently, looked at the translator Dian Envoy again, and then said, "Master Dian Envoy, how are you?"

"Thank you, General Zilong, for your concern. I got the medicine from the Taiwei, and I'm much better now."

The envoy knew that the young general in front of him was the most trusted person in front of Taiwei Li Yu, and he had received medicine from Taiwei Li Yu himself before.

Coupled with the fact that Zhao Yun was on a mission again this time, the envoy was naturally more dedicated.

The task of the Dianshi is to do a good job in the translation work unit, but it was the first time that he followed the army to conquer the outside of the Great Wall.

This situation made the envoy think: "Why don't you detour across the desert and go directly to Juyanze and wait for the Huns to come?"

Of course, as a Qin official, it's not unusual for the Dianshi to think this way.

But Zhao Yun smiled and explained: "If Maodun Shanyu does not leave the desert, how will he get his head? Besides, now that the war is coming to an end, how can I, Zhao Yun, be so cautious."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yun led [-] camel cavalry into the desert, and then headed north in the direction of the strongest light.

And the envoy didn't ask any other questions anymore, just silently followed by his side, and responded from time to time according to what the Yuezhi guide said.

When the moon climbed to the highest point and then slowly sank below the horizon, the fish-belly white was brighter than the early morning in Daqin. Zhao Yun couldn't help being amazed by the sight that greeted his eyes.

"That is……"
