Drinking water again in this desert.
Water doubt has become the real source of life! Beyond the measure of money.
"alas!" Shi Min couldn’t help sighing and then sat down on the ground feeling nai.
Mulan was a little worried. "If the viceroy can’t find water in a few days, everyone may die of thirst here and die in the desert."
"Hua Rong, are you afraid of death?" Shi Min can’t call Mulan by her real name directly because she is in front of people.
Hearing this, Mulan hesitated for a moment and then frowned and said, "Are you afraid of the death of the viceroy? However, it’s a big scar, but it’s really tragic to die of thirst here alive! In my opinion, it is better to let the soldiers drink water and have a good meal and then Xianbei people will fight to the death! "
"I don’t want Xianbei people to fight to the death?"
Shi Min smiled bitterly. "But the Xianbei people are too cunning, and their Lord Duguxin is even more treacherous than talking about how our army sent troops to attack and kill them like the old fox. They all ran far away in this desert, and the Xianbei cavalry came and went like the wind and couldn’t catch up with them, so what about talking about death?"
"…" Mulan was silent.
Chapter 6 twists and turns
At this moment, there was a rain-like horseshoe not far away.
Shi Min looked forward to seeing Yi Yang Gong Shi Jianzheng coming here with his own team of pro-guards.
"viceroy!" Shi Jian made a ceremony.
Shi Min waved and said, "Yiyang Gong, what are you doing here?"
Shi Jian seems to have something hidden that he wants to talk to Shi Min alone, so he looked at some Qinbing Shi Min nearby and let his pro-guards retreat.
"The viceroy doesn’t know what method you have come up with to defeat the Xianbei people?"
Shi Min shook his head and said, "There is no water."
Shi Jian sighed, "The viceroy can’t rely on things now. I think it’s better to retreat."
"Retreat?" Shi Min frowned and said, "Yiyang Gong, you must know that our army is now facing a dilemma. If the army retreats, it will be chaotic and it will be defeated!"
"I know," Shi Jian said, "but this is the best way! Now our army is besieged by the Xianbei people’s army, and the water and grain supplies have continued. If we go there in a few days, our army will be wiped out! "
Shi Min couldn’t help narrowing her eyes when she heard this. "But Yiyang Gong, you should know that even if our troops retreat now and the water is insufficient, even if the enemy doesn’t pursue them, our soldiers will all die of thirst in this Mobei wasteland!"
Hearing this, Shi Jian had a guilty conscience and looked at dozens of pro-guards nearby. Then he whispered to Shi Min, "Spine slaves can’t be done now. What we have to consider now is not like defeating Xianbei people, nor is it important to protect our strength and save our lives!"
"If it doesn’t even have our lives to talk about great things? I think so. Now there is a little water left in the army. I calculated that it is enough for 1000 people to drink for five days! Why don’t we take the opportunity to run out of here with our cronies! Escape from this hellhole! "
Shi Min smell speech face a heavy said "Yiyang male you this is desertion! If the king knows that you and I left these tens of thousands of soldiers in disregard of their own escape, how can we get back to Yecheng? Is it not a guilty family? Sin Jiuzu? "
"Who will know if you don’t tell me?"
"no!"
Shi Min or best decission with the wave, "you don’t have to say this thing! Yiyang Gong will wait for two days. If it is really at the end of its tether, please help yourself. "
"alas!"
Shi Jian couldn’t help sighing when he saw that he couldn’t persuade Shi Min.
Looking at a cactus on one side, Shimin couldn’t help but have a brainwave. He knew that many desert plants contain a lot of water, such as cactus, immature silk orchid, agave flower stems and so on. Barrel cactus contains a lot of water, but the squeezed water is a little spicy, and the juice will thicken quickly like mucus.
In order to get rid of the water in it, you can chew pith, but you can’t swallow it. Take some pith with you to quench your thirst.
Thought of here, Shi Min "swished" a sword and directly cut down this half-human cactus.
Then Shi Min slowly squatted down to the ground, shaved off the cactus thorns and put them in his mouth to suck and chew slowly.
After a long time, Shi Min spat and wiped his mouth with disgust.
"how about it? Is this thing edible, viceroy? Can you quench your thirst? " Shi Jian cocked his head and asked
Wen Yan Shi Min nodded his head and said, "It can quench your thirst."
But Shi Min immediately patted the battle dress and the dust looked at the few cactus, agave and other plants here and frowned. "But there are not many plants here that contain water! There are still 70,000 people in our army. It is not enough to take water from these plants and fear that the roots are not enough! "
"What shall we do?" Shi Jian woebegone tunnel
Shi Min still racked his brains and pondered over this.
He suddenly picked up the sword in his hand and prepared to put it back in his scabbard, but from the body of the sword, thick mucus and green cactus mucus dripped out.
This mucus along the blade is like blood slowly strike in the dry desert.
"I thought of it!" Shi Min couldn’t help shine at the moment.
"Do you have a clever plan?" asked Wen Yan Shi Jian.
"Shi Jian listens to the order!"
"The end will be there!" Shi Jian immediately fuels way
"You immediately go back to camp and tell all the soldiers to prepare a bowl of pots and pans. Anything and utensils that can hold water can be used! Then let them hang a sword-edged pike or spear on the vessel at night arrival! There must be water to drink the next day! "
"promise!"
