Chapter 618 Difficulties
"So, Mr. Shi has agreed to hand these two letters to Mr. Xiao?"

Zhang Xiaojie asked Shi Shi happily.

Shi Shikai nodded, and said to Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Tianzuo: "I really don't know the whereabouts of my lord, but I can help deliver these two letters to my lord, you two can rest assured!"

With Shi Shikai's guarantee, Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Tianzuo left the inn with satisfaction.

On the way back, Xiao Tianzuo and Zhang Xiaojie discussed the details of the future preparations, and then Xiao Tianzuo returned to his residence and sent people to Liaodong.

In mid-August, Zhang Yuanzhi's 60-strong army came directly to Yanmen Pass to call for battle. Li Zhun could not hold out, and the Liao army did not rush to attack the city, but set up camp [-] miles outside Yanmen Pass.

Zhang Yuanzhi was very worried about Xiao Mo's disappearance, so he had to wait.

He has to wait for Xiao Mo to appear again, of course...the Liao army must also make some offensive postures, otherwise Xixia must be dissatisfied with Liao!

Where is Xiao Mo now?

No one knew, but Zhao Guanying did.

Zhao Guanying's subordinates have always been in contact with Xiao Mo. When the army of the Liao Kingdom invaded Yanmen Pass, Zhao Guanying received news from the Liao Kingdom.

Of course Shi Shikai sent someone to bring the news to Zhao Guanying. After receiving the news, Zhao Guanying discussed with Ma Yidao and Gao Yuanyi, and then Zhao Guanying decided to send these two important letters to Xiao Mo himself.

So Zhao Guanying packed up her luggage and brought a few capable people to ask Li Zhun to resign.

Li Zhun naturally agreed, and Zhao Guanying led them out of the Xinzhou camp, but was stopped by someone on the way.

Zhao Guanying took a closer look and saw that the man was Liang Zheng, so she asked with a smile, "Why is the Duke stopping me here?"

Liang Zheng said dissatisfiedly: "How can there be such a master? After taking half of the disciples, he disappeared, so I will follow you!"

Zhao Guanying said: "I'm not your master, it's useless for the Duke to follow me!"

Liang Zheng smiled and said, "Don't lie to me, I have heard what you and Mr. Li have said. If you want to find my master, you must take me with you!"

Zhao Guanying was helpless, so she had to ask someone to repay Li Zhun.

Li Zhun said: "Grandpa Guo is looking for Ziheng again, so let him go!"

In fact, Li Zhun wanted Liang Zheng to find Xiao Mo, because Liang Zheng is still young, but his identity is very special to An Chao. One of the two remaining descendants.

The generals of the An Dynasty now only have Liang Zheng and Yang Zongbao of Tianbo Mansion. Yang Zongbao is still an infant, and he will have a long, long time to grow in the future!

Therefore, Liang Zheng can be said to be the only hope for the general of An Dynasty now. To be honest, Li Zhun is a little worried about bringing such a hope for the future with him.

Because Li Zhun himself knew that his own understanding of the military was limited, and he couldn't teach Liang Zheng anything!When the Liao army attacked, Li Zhun could only defend to the death. The tactics were the same. Liang Zheng followed Li Zhun. Not only could he not learn good things, but it might hurt Liang Zheng's confidence, making this general's future hope difficult. War chills.

That's why Li Zhun said that Liang Zheng should go.

Zhao Guanying had no choice but to take Liang Zheng on the road, and they kept exchanging mounts at the post station all the way, in order to catch up with Xiao Mo's army without stopping.

Xiao Mo's army has now left Xining and arrived at the south bank of Qinghai. At this time, the army is resting on the deserted Gobi.

Xiao Mo stared blankly at the map, because the army marched for more than ten days, after leaving Xining, many problems have gradually emerged.

First of all, the consumption of supplies, dry food and fresh water was beyond Xiao Mo's expectations.

"March in summer, why did I neglect this matter?"

Xiao Mo blamed himself, because it is summer and the weather is very hot, even though the army is traveling lightly, everyone has prepared enough dry food for a month, the food bags and water bags are full and hung on the horses on the ass, but...

The consumption of fresh water is too serious, even if Xiao Mo strictly stipulates it, the soldiers still can't stand the scorching sun and need to drink more water!

Xiao Mo had no choice but to march at night instead, taking advantage of the cool weather at night to go as far as he could, and camped in the mountains or in the shade during the day to rest.

At the same time, Xiao Mo did not forget to send spies to look for water sources in the surrounding areas. There is water in Qinghai Lake, but it is salt water and cannot be drunk.

Xiao Mo reluctantly adopted the method of marching at night. Although this solved the heat problem, it was not a long-term solution.

Because the army's itinerary has been messed up by the night march, although Xiao Mo brought a magnetic stick so that he would not get lost at night, but...

Be extra careful when marching at night, as the speed of marching cannot be guaranteed.

Xiao Mo and Zhong Shiheng agreed to attack Xingqing Mansion in mid-September, and there are still more than 20 days before now. In these 20 days, Xiao Mo's army will cross the Gobi under extremely difficult circumstances. Enter Kunlun Mountain, bypass Li Yuan's eyes and ears in Xuanhua Mansion, and enter Suzhou from Huangtou Uighur!

The envoy of the yellow-headed Uighur is also in Xiao Mo's army. He is very familiar with the Gobi and Kunlun Mountains, so he can be regarded as the guide of the army.

The spies came back but failed to find the water source, then Xiao Mo found the yellow-headed Uighur envoy and asked: "Is there a way to get water from the Gobi?"

"Get water from the Gobi?" The yellow-headed Uighur's envoy shook his head and said, "The ministers have never heard that water can be conjured from the Gobi..."

The envoy of the yellow-headed Uighur had no choice, so Xiao Mo began to ponder.

The army continued to move forward. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the bag, the army became a little restless.

Wuzang Yepang found Xiao Mo, and said: "General, the water everyone brought is getting less and less. I don't know how long it will take to get out of the Gobi. What should I do?"

Xiao Mo said: "There must be a road in front of the mountain. We will continue to send people to look for water sources, and at the same time go all the way west. There must be water sources when we reach Kunlun Mountain!"

Wuzang Yepang became worried, but still followed Xiao Mo's order, first to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, and then send people to continue searching for water sources.

This situation lasted for three or four days, and the water source has not been found. Gradually, the soldiers began to turn from disappointment to despair, because the water on their bodies was almost exhausted. Now everyone's eyes are focused on Xiao Xiao. Mo's body.

Now they can only hope that this young man who brought them into the Gobi, this world-renowned marshal, can find a way out for them to live!
