Chapter 42: Stratagem

Kang Daibin gently drew a line on the sheepskin map, crossed Taole from Liuhu Prefecture, walked more than fifty miles southwest against the Yellow River, and crossed Pingluo to reach the Helan Mountains.

To the west of the Helan Mountains is the Tengger Desert, and after passing through the Tengger Desert, it is the Turkic grassland they are thinking about.

The Helan Mountains have always been a symbol of dividing China from foreign races.

In his early years, Huo Qubing stepped on Helan Mountain, and later Yue Fei's poems also contained the ambition of "trampling through the Helan Mountain Falls".

Now Kang Kaibin is resting at the foot of the Helan Mountains, explaining to his confidant beside him: "We ride the night and from here, as long as we go up the Helan Mountains, the Tang army will not be able to do anything to us."

He Hei Nu said worriedly: "We can cross mountains and ridges, but cattle and sheep cannot. What's more, Helan Mountain, can we really cross the past?"

The eastern slope of the Helan Mountains is steep and the mountains are majestic, forming a natural barrier. He Hei Nu is a serious Turkic person and has a very good understanding of Helan Mountain.

Kang Daibin said confidently: "It's okay, it's all illusions. The art of war says: build a plank road openly and go to Chencang secretly. We are not going to climb over Helan Mountain, but walk south through Helan Mountain along the mountain road, head south from the rarely visited path, bypass Helan Mountain, avoid the Tang army's sight, and enter the Tengger Desert, so as not to go deep into the desert to pursue us."

An Murong said in a speechless voice: "Damn Tang Nu, can you still kill him?"

Kang Daibin smiled bitterly and said, "If it were someone else, he might not have the courage. But Pei Min, I can't guarantee it. This son's ability is no less than Huo Qubing. He is bold in using troops and is always unexpected. Who dares to imagine that the elderly, weak, women and children say that they will kill him, and they will kill him without leaving any remaining strength. It is obvious that he cannot tolerate our rebellion at all, and he will definitely get rid of it quickly and must be guarded. The desert is not easy to leave. If there is another pursuer, even if we can safely leave the desert, how many soldiers will survive in our hands?"

An Murong and He Hei Nu refused to speak one after another.

In fact, they already felt a little regretful in their hearts, and they were moved by the sweet words they had given Kang Daibin.

Compared to the free and casual life on the grassland, Liuhu Prefecture lived a comfortable life, but the laws of the Tang Dynasty were like a spell, making them uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, the news of their secret plot was destroyed and exposed in advance, and they had to be trapped in a dead end.

If Pei Min hadn't had the cruel methods of their actions, they would have even thought of surrender.

Now they can only go all the way and go and keep going.

"The only luck is that we have accumulated more and more food and grass over the years, which can maintain our expenses for one and a half months. With beef and mutton, it is more than enough to pass through the desert. What brothers do we have to lead the way? How can we be a mere desert be a problem?" Kang Daibin was encouraging his morale. Faced with this bad situation, he had to do everything he had to return to the Turks no matter what, and then start over and become a big man with heavy troops, rather than being a guardian for the Tang Dynasty.

He Hei Nu frowned and said, "The Tengger Desert is quicksand, and the terrain will change with the movement of sand and soil. Maps and other things are completely useless. Only experienced living maps can accurately identify the direction and walk out of the desert. The Tang people did not have such skills. We are afraid that those in Liuhu Prefecture who are unwilling to rebel against us will lead the way for the Tang people. After all, there is not only us who live maps."

"It's okay!" Kang Daibin laughed and said, "I have considered this point for a long time. There are also my people in Liuhu Prefecture. They secretly spread rumors and instigated the relationship between the two parties. When it happened to happen to us, who would have the courage to believe the words of foreign tribes and take them as a guide to go deep into a barren land like the desert? Are you not afraid of being deceived, lead to the dead land without water, and all the three armies will be restored?"

He Hei Nu was speechless. Looking at Kang Daibin who had done all the tricks, he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.

Those with extraordinary martial arts are shocking, and those with such far-sightedness are also scary.

After a while, He Hei Nu said, "I'll feel relieved!"

Kang Kaibin rested for a while and led his soldiers into Helan Mountain.

Follow the trail, we walked around the southern part of Helan Mountain and advanced into the Tengger Desert.

Facing the endless desert, led by He Hei Nu, the living map, the group headed straight towards Moon Lake.

Almost at the same time, Pei Min also led Li Yide, Guo Wenbin, Xia Shan and Zhang Invesho into the desert.

At this time, the one who led Pei Min was Pugu Huaien's mother. He was originally Pugu Huaien's father and volunteered to lead the way. However, in the previous fight, he cut off his arm. Pei Min had no grudges about such a foreign tribe who truly served the Tang Dynasty and was concerned about his safety and failed to agree.

War is a major event for the country. The place of life and death and the way of survival and death must be observed!

If it were someone else, Pei Min really couldn't believe it, but the Pugu clan could believe it.

This is also the biggest advantage of time travelers. He can directly distinguish a person's good and evil.

In Pei Min's memory, Pugu Huaien's mother also made a heavy move.

In history, Pugu Huaien devoted his entire work to the Tang Dynasty. The Pugu family and forty-six people died for the country. In order to win over allies for the Tang Dynasty, he married his three daughters to foreign barbarians thousands of miles away, and married their country. His loyalty is a lesson for heaven and earth.

However, Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty was ruthless, and the Uighurs invaded the border, and the Khan of Dengli personally led 100,000 powerful cavalry to Guanzhong, which shocked the Tang Dynasty and the country.

For the sake of justice, Pugu Huaien went deep into the tiger's den and persuaded the Khan of Dengli to save the Tang Dynasty from the military disaster.

However, Emperor Daizong of Tang was afraid of Pugu Huai'en's relationship with the Uighurs, and believed the eunuch's words, forcing him to rebel against Pugu Huai'en, who was selfless and dedicated.

At this time, the mother of the unknown Pugu Huaien stood up and held a knife to kill his son. "To kill this thief for the country, win his heart to thank the three armies."

After Pugu Huaien's death, Emperor Daizong of Tang felt deeply regretful and sighed: "Huien does not rebel, it is because I am mistaken for my own people."

In the end, Pugu Huai'en was recorded in the biography of the rebel ministers in history books, but what is ridiculous is that the entire biography shows Pugu Huai'en's patriotism and his great achievements for the Tang Dynasty.

His stain was just that he did not choose the king to die, and the minister stood up and waited for the death of his minister.

Pei Min also respected Pugu Huaien's mother and took great care of her along the way.

Huai'en's mother was also very moved by Pei Min's trust and talked tirelessly about the key to walking in the desert.

"Walking in the desert, never believe in your eyes, let alone maps and memories. With just a gust of wind, the desert can change into another shape. Follow the heavens, the sun rises and sunsets, and the trajectory of the sun will never change. Just remember when and where the sun is, the direction will be visible."

"Also, when walking in the desert, you cannot be greedy for the shade and walk to the shade under the dunes. There may be a quicksand trap. Once you fall into it, you will not be able to get out. The top of the dunes is the place with the most sand, and there is no quicksand."
