reincarnated as emperor [rebirth]

Chapter 38. Oasis

At night, Huangfu Yunzheng, as usual, discussed the next coping strategy with Shang Liang, Chen Yu and others. Regarding today's battle situation, they first made a summary and then discussed the future strategy.

Although today's first battle is auspicious, one must not be complacent and take it lightly. The big taboo in the march is to be too proud and complacent, and only by being careful can great things be achieved.

Therefore, Huangfu Yunzheng did not let down his vigilance, because after today's battle, Hu Lie will definitely be on guard in the future. Like today's yellow sand strategy, he may not be able to use it again.

Just as they were discussing, the door curtain was lifted, and Ling Qiu walked in, holding a huge kettle in his hand, he nodded to Huangfu Yunzheng, put the kettle on the table, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is not enough water gone."

Huangfu Yunzheng was surprised when he heard the words, and then he thought about it. It is also true that so many soldiers in the army need to drink water all the time, and the water is not inexhaustible. Besides, they are in the desert, and the hot weather naturally It will make everyone need water more than usual when they are in the capital.

But now they haven't found the water source, and transporting water from central Beijing is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is a method that can only be used when there is no other choice. After careful consideration, Huangfu Yunzheng decided to increase the number of soldiers looking for water, and strive to find the water source as soon as possible.

The next day, the two armies fought again. This time, Hu Lie learned the lesson from last time, and let the soldiers avoid when the yellow sand rose, avoiding many chances of blinding their eyes.

Hu Lie knew that his martial arts were not as good as Huangfu Yunzheng, so he practiced day and night after returning to the barracks. Although his martial arts did not improve much, his strength was much stronger.

Just like at this time, Huangfu Yunzheng was using his sword to force him to step back step by step. The two of them were entangled in one place. He grabbed Hu Lie's arm with his hand, intending to shovel Hu Lie down with a sweeping kick. On the ground, but was grabbed by the arm by Hu Lie, the strength made him speechless.

The figures of the two flew up and down, and each landed on the horse. Huangfu Yunzheng rode Ming Ye, letting him get close to Hu Lie's horse, then raised his horse's hoof, and stepped hard on the head of the horse in front of him. The horse failed to get out of the way in time, and the whole horse fell to the ground. Hu Lie took advantage of the situation and rolled to the ground, and quickly stood up.

Huangfu Yunzheng followed with his sword momentum, sat on the horse, leaned over and stabbed at Hu Lie, only heard a bang, the two swords intertwined, his eyes froze, his legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly, he did not dare to let go for a moment force.

The two stood in a stalemate for a while, but no one was able to hurt the other. After a long time, the two armies retreated separately, and no one took advantage of today's battle.

Bringing the soldiers back to the barracks, Huangfu Yunzheng couldn't wait to drink water. Just as he picked up the water bottle to drink, he suddenly heard the surprised cry of the soldiers behind him: "Ah, why is there only so little water left?" ?”

Frowning suddenly, he looked back, the water he brought from Beijing was running low, so many soldiers followed him through life and death today, how could they not drink water?Thinking of this, Huangfu Yunzheng covered the water bottle, threw it at the soldier, and then said to Shang Liang who was beside him: "All generals and other people with military ranks, leave the water for the soldiers, and you can drink it after they finish drinking." At the end , and said to the soldier holding the water bottle: "Here is the water bottle, drink it."

"No...no way." The soldier fell to his knees with a terrified plop when he heard the words, and raised the kettle high, "It's the great fortune of Dongcang Kingdom that the emperor led us to fight. How can we drink the emperor's water, absolutely not!"

"Drink, I'm not thirsty." Huangfu Yunzheng glanced at him, then turned and went back to the handsome tent.The soldier behind him was stunned for a while, and tears gradually appeared in his eyes. He glanced at the people around him, stood up abruptly, and clenched his fists. At that moment, he swore to be loyal to the emperor and use his own strength to defend the family. country!

Apparently all the soldiers thought the same as him. They silently watched the back of their emperor leaving, and the blood flowing in their hearts surged again. With such a good emperor who loves the people like a son and treats the soldiers well, how could the Dongcang Kingdom not win the battle? , How could it not be prosperous!

Back in the tent, Huangfu Yunzheng put down the curtain, licked his dry lips, and sat down at the table, when suddenly a water bottle was handed over to him, turned his head to meet Shang Lingqiu's peaceful gaze, and only heard him say: "Drink Bar."

Ling Qiu handed the water bottle in front of Yun Zheng, and watched him drink it slowly with his head up. He had seen everything outside just now. Apart from being relieved, he also felt distressed. He was obviously very thirsty, but for the sake of these soldiers, he was willing to give his water bottle. Contributed by water, how lucky is Dongcang to have such a wise king?

After Yun Zheng finished drinking, Ling Qiu took the water bottle and put it aside, the two remained relatively silent.Soldiers looking for water today still have nothing to gain. If this continues, everyone will be exhausted due to lack of water.

This won't work, we have to go out to find water, Ling Qiu thought to himself, and when Yun Zheng went to discuss again, he took a few soldiers who were looking for water, and went out to look for it again.

"Queen, we have searched all over here, but we haven't found it." Several soldiers followed behind him, their faces were worried, Ling Qiu turned around slowly when he heard this, and frowned slightly.

"Where are you looking over there?" Looking around, he pointed to the other side and asked in a low voice.

Several soldiers were stunned and looked at each other. One stood up and replied softly: "Go back to the queen, over there...then we will be close to the barracks of the Hu tribe. We dare not go there rashly."

Ling Qiu frowned again, so that was the case, he turned his head to look in that direction, and slowly tightened his fingers under the sleeve.It's close to the barracks of the Hu people, but what if there's water there?No matter how dangerous it is, you have to go and see it.

"Go and have a look." Making up his mind, Ling Qiu took a few soldiers and walked forward. After walking a long way, there was still only a vast desert. However, when they were about to give up, he suddenly heard the sound of water dripping, and his whole body trembled. shock.

There must be a source of water near here!

The front is full of deserts, so it must not be going straight. Close your eyes, Ling Qiu calmed down, and discerned the direction of the water flow. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, turned and walked to a place, "Follow me."

A few people walked northwestward for a long time, the sound of the water ticking became clearer, the soldiers obviously heard it too, everyone had excited expressions on their faces, suddenly, Ling Qiu stopped in his tracks, with a smile on his lips .

In front of them, there happened to be an oasis. After the sparse trees went in, there was a clear water pool. If the water was taken and boiled, it would definitely solve the water problem in the military camp!And the water pool is very large, separated by stones in the middle, divided into two sides, half of which can be used for drinking water, and the other half can be used for bathing and the like, without affecting each other!

Just when the few people were happy, suddenly there was an unusual sound around them. Ling Qiu hurriedly led the soldiers to hide behind a tree, poked his head out, and saw a few soldiers of the Hu nationality walking towards here, saying: If they didn't understand, there was joy on their faces, obviously they also coveted this pool of water.

The reason why the desert is called the desert is because of its vast hell. Although the Hu people live in the desert all year round, they may not know where every oasis is. Looking at the expressions of these soldiers, Ling Qiu guessed that they must be It is also the first time that there is a pool here.

What's more, if the Hu people come here to camp, if they can't find water, they have to go back to the Hu people's palace to get water, which is not only troublesome but also laborious. Therefore, this pool of water must be very important to them. Hu people can't deal a fatal blow, at least they can temporarily cut off their water source, causing them a lot of trouble.

After several Hu soldiers left, Ling Qiu came out from behind the tree with his men. He hurried back to the camp without saying a word, found Huangfu Yunzheng who was discussing, told him where the water pool was, and asked him to find a way immediately. Preemptive occupation.

When Huangfu Yunzheng heard that there was water, he was surprised at first, then immediately stopped discussing the matter at the moment, discussed with several generals, and everyone unanimously decided to move the camp to the side of the water pool. The clan first snatched the pool!

As they walked, Shang Liang and others immediately went down to inform all the soldiers. When the soldiers heard that there was water, they cheered up and packed their things quickly. An hour later, the army set off and headed for the water pool.

After trekking for an hour and a half, the crowd finally arrived at the water pool. All the soldiers couldn't help but smile when they saw the water pool. In this water pool, we must not relax our vigilance at all times and keep patrolling, so as not to let the Hu people take advantage of it.

After the water was available, Huangfu Yunzheng also heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone drank clean water that night, and they no longer had to worry about water sources in a short period of time.It's just that this place is closer to the Hu army camp than the original camp, but there is still a distance, so Huangfu Yunzheng also strengthened his defense to prevent Hu Lie from leading people to attack at night.

At the same moment, Hu Lie learned that the water pool had been robbed, and angrily beat the table, making a loud bang. He glared at the soldier who came to report, kicked him over, pointed at the door and said sharply: "Trash! Get out!" !"

The water source was robbed, so they had to find another way. The only oasis nearby was gone, so they could only bring water from the palace. Not being able to grab it, Hu Lie was even more angry when he thought of this.

His chest heaved rapidly, and it took him a long time to calm down. Hu Lie summoned a military adviser to discuss the next countermeasures with him. Huangfu Yunzheng is so insidious, he must pay him back on the battlefield!

The two discussed until late at night, when the military commander left the tent, Hu Lie walked to the door and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, thinking of their next plan, he smiled sinisterly.

Speaking of which, he would like to thank that person, Hu Lie thought to himself, for him, that person is only of value to use, but I believe that this big move will definitely catch Huangfu Yunzheng off guard.

He was inexplicably looking forward to the battle a few days later, just wait and see, he, Hu Lie, deserves to be the final winner!And Dongcang Kingdom must be in his pocket!
