The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 96 Entering the desert, Taoist priests also use tricks?
As soon as this remark came out, the old man instantly aroused the anger of the Yanmen army.

And even the good-tempered Zhao Yun couldn't help but change his gloomy expression, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Seeing the eyes of many soldiers looking at him is not good, but this old man still has no guilt, standing here tenaciously and upright.

After a long time, the old man said slowly: "General, this old man is not trying to poison you, but to give you a great contribution!"

"What do you mean by this? When I enter the desert, I will only have a dead end. How can we talk about credit? Didn't the old man deceive us?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's face softened a little, and he immediately denied it.

With Zhao Yun's disposition, even if what the old man in front of him said was true, it is absolutely impossible to ignore the lives of so many soldiers.

And led them into the desert at the risk of annihilation to seek the so-called illusory credit.

However, although Zhao Yun politely rejected the old man, the old man seemed unwilling.

After adjusting his body and mind, he suddenly walked to Zhao Yun and said, "General, what you are worried about is that you will lose your way after leading the army into the desert, and eventually the entire army will be wiped out due to lack of water!"

"But if there is sufficient water, would the general agree to march into the desert?"

Tick, it was detected that Yuan Tiangang, a local Taoist at the end of the Sui Dynasty, was triggered by the skill Gu exhaustion. After this skill is activated, the person who is being tricked will reduce his defense against this person, so as to achieve a certain purpose of his own.

Di, because Zhao Yun was defenseless, his vigilance dropped.

"Ah? What, Zilong met Yuan Tiangang, so it's better not to have any accidents."

After hearing that Zhao Yun met Yuan Tiangang, Gao Qi of the rear army had no choice but to pray secretly, hoping that Zhao Yun would not be bewitched by Yuan Tiangang.

…………

After several hours passed, Gao Qi led the main force and arrived at the entrance of the desert again.

Looking at the past, there is no trace of a human figure on the vast grassland.

"Xiao Zhi, where is this place? Why has our army marched for so long and still haven't caught up with Shang Zilong?"

After looking away for a long time, Gao Qi slowly turned around and asked.

"The climate here is erratic, and the weeds are withered and yellow. From the right point of view, I'm afraid it's a desert area."

"I just don't know if Zilong led his army into the desert by mistake."

Hearing this, Fazheng was silent for a long time before slowly opening his hands and slowly analyzing.

After hearing Fazheng's analysis, Gao Qi was not sure whether Zhao Yun led his army into the desert area.

Therefore, Gao Qi ordered the whole army to stay in place and wait for Zhao Yun's return.

…………

After night fell, before Zhao Yun returned with his army, Gao Qi finally realized that something was wrong, and immediately called everyone to discuss matters in the big tent.

After all the personnel arrived, Gao Qi said slowly: "It has been several hours since our army arrived here. According to the speed of Flying Eagle Qingqi, it is time to return safely."

"But so far, there is no news about Zilong, so I suspect that Zilong may have been tricked by Temujin into the desert by mistake!"

After Wen Si said something, everyone did not refute, but they all kept silent.

"My lord, wait a little longer!"

After a while, Fazheng choked out such a sentence!

This is also why everyone knows Zhao Yun's nature, and knows that he is a calm and general-like person.

With Zhao Yun's prudence, how could he enter the desert area without warning, and not contact the main force for such a long time.

Time passed by slowly, and the midnight came gradually, but Zhao Yun still did not return as usual.

In the end, Gao Qi was the first to break the silence and said: "It has been a day and a night, and there is no news about Zilong. It seems that he really strayed into the desert."

"Listen to this general's order. Tomorrow morning, the whole army will quickly move out of the battalion and follow this general into the desert to meet Zilong's troops."

"No, no! General, not only is the terrain in the desert harsh, but the environment is also dangerous. If the army enters the desert, no one will perish!"

"If the Turkic cavalry who are familiar with the terrain take the opportunity to surprise our army at this time, it will really be a disaster."

Hearing Gao Qi's order, even Liu Bowen was surprised, regardless of his own image, he tried hard to persuade him.

"Berwin, he escaped death in the desert, how could this general not know?"

"But, is Bowen going to see Ben lose Zilong's subordinates with his own eyes and ignore him?"

"Such a thing would not have been possible."

Seeing Liu Bowen's disapproving words, Gao Qi couldn't help but waved his hand to interrupt, and spoke encouragingly.

…………

The next day, nearly [-] troops of the Yanmen Army lined up neatly in the vast wilderness.

The morale of the army is so full.

In a moment, Gao Qi's figure appeared in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Qi said in a firm voice, "Brothers, now General Zhao and several thousand brothers have mistakenly fallen into the Hu Kou's plan and entered the desert."

"Can our army abandon them and ignore them?"

"No, no!"

All of a sudden, [-] Yanmen soldiers with high morale raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

This prestige is extremely powerful, without the slightest fear of war.

"Brothers, calm down first!" Hearing this, Gao Qi could not help interrupting with a wave of his hand, seeing that the army's morale was ready, and then said: "This time our army will march into the desert to meet General Zhao and many brothers."

"In the desert, the environment is dangerous and the climate is harsh, and there is a threat of death at any time."

"Are you afraid?"

Just saying, when Gao Qi reached the point of saying a word, he suddenly yelled with all his might.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Go into the desert and rescue the brothers."

Unexpectedly, even though the soldiers heard that they had entered the desert where they had escaped death, none of them chose to back down, and they still followed and roared.

Seeing that the morale of the army was available, Gao Qi gave the order for the whole army to attack.

A snake-like formation is like a curved earthworm, marching towards the desert!

…………

"General, our army is short of water, what should we do now?"

In an instant, a soldier dressed as a scout reported to the coach Gao Qi.

Hearing this, Gao Qi waved his hand and signaled the scout to retreat.

After pondering for a long time, Fa Zhengcai said: "Now our army has entered the desert for more than ten days, but there is still no movement from Zilong and the others."

"I was thinking, could it be that our army's direction deviation has gone the wrong way?"

Hearing this, no one spoke, even Gao Qi, who was the chief general of the first army, fell silent.

"General, our army's water supply is less than five days old now."

"If we haven't found Zilong and the others, our army will be in disaster!"

"According to the general's opinion, it is better to leave the desert as soon as possible!"

After a long time, Zhang Shigui, the general at the side, stood up first and said with cupped hands.

For a while, Zhang Shigui's suggestions were approved by everyone.

Although none of the generals were cold-blooded, they also knew that if they didn't leave the desert at this time.

At that time, it will not only be Zhao Yun's three thousand horses that will be lost, but all the troops in Yanmen County.

Seeing everyone's admonishing words, Gao Qi couldn't help but fell silent.

After a while, Gao Qi clenched his fists fiercely, and reluctantly gave the order to withdraw from the desert.

…………

All of a sudden, Yanmen County turned around and galloped towards the grassland.
