The endless Gobi really makes people feel like they can't distinguish between east, west, north and south. Although the sun has risen at this time, they can tell the direction, but the problem is that he didn't pay attention to the direction when he came!

For a moment, Liu Tan felt very embarrassed. This really made him lead the way. I am afraid that he will never be able to get out of this Gobi in this life, right?

He does have a map in his hand, but in such an environment, the map is useless because there is no reference!

It seems that only a map is useless. No matter how detailed a map is, it is not a three-dimensional space guide. Ordinary people still have to cooperate with a compass if they want to know the way. This thing must be put on the agenda!

Liu Tan suddenly understood Li Guang, and at the same time, he admired Wei Qing and Huo Qubing with their own positioning systems. People who have never experienced it will probably never imagine how difficult it is to lead an army to accurately locate the enemy's position in such an environment. things.

As for his interception of the Huns cavalry, in fact, it should be more that the Huns cavalry came to the door on their own initiative.

Liu Tan turned his head and looked behind him, ready to find someone to lead the way. With so many people he brought out, there must be someone he can recognize, right?

And... It is said that old horses know the way, maybe their horses can also know the way?

As for the little white horse, he didn't count on it. The big eyes of this guy also showed confusion, and he was unreliable at first glance.

And the most reliable one is probably Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan saw Liu Tan's daze, and while holding back a smile and talking to him to divert his attention, he led him in the right direction.

Liu Tan was talking to him and realized that the large army was advancing. He was extremely embarrassed for a while. He wanted to cover up his embarrassment by looking around at the scenery, but it turned out that there is no scenery to see in this poor place.

The only person who can be regarded as a painting is by his side.

Liu Tan could only lower his head and pat his little white horse, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart that the horse was not up to the mark.

But... Liu Tan wondered if Lu Xuan would take him to another place?He didn't say where their camp is just now, or did the people sent by Lu Xuan find out?

Of course, he didn't suspect that Lu Xuan was spying on him, or in other words, at this time, Lu Xuan would try to figure out the other party's movements as much as possible.

It has nothing to do with feelings, it's just because this place is barely his territory!

In fact, Lu Xuan really didn't know where Liu Tan's army was stationed, but he could judge.

There are only a few places around the country that are suitable for camping. If you want to prevent the country from discovering it in advance, you will narrow the scope again.

As long as he takes Liu Tan to that area, it's fine. He can't get there without Liu Tan knowing the way, right?

Even if Liu Tan didn't know him, someone behind him should know him.

In fact, it was exactly the same, when Liu Tan was about to arrive at the place, he finally saw the familiar topography, and then led Lu Xuan all the way back to the station.

When he went back, Miao Rui and Bi Gao were walking around outside. They wanted to follow, but Liu Tan insisted on staying behind because he didn't want his subordinates to take care of the two more.

When Miao Rui and Bi Gao were thinking about what posture they should use to kill themselves if something happened to the Fifth Prince, they finally saw a group of people returning with their heads.

Well, taking the head, after all, this is all military merit, Liu Tan has to think about his subordinates even if he doesn't care, so even if it's disgusting, he was brought back.

Miao Rui and Bi Gao were dumbfounded when they saw Liu Tan—why did they fight so many people when they went out to fight?

They all admitted that there were no casualties. After all, it seemed that their Highness had taken a lot of strange things with him before he left, but...what is the situation of beating people more and more?

After they went up to meet them, they realized that it wasn't that their Highness beat more and more people, but that their Highness went out to fight and abducted a little Wusun Kunmi back.

Liu Tan dismounted and asked, "How is the situation?"

Bi Gao quickly said: "Everything is going well, the city gate has been opened, but Jieguo has an inner city besides the outer city gate, and now it is attacking the inner city."

Liu talked for a while and said nothing. It's too early to say rest assured. The inner city must be more defensive than the outer city. If nothing else, the city has shrunk a circle and there are fewer places to guard. When the soldiers are concentrated, the natural defense force will be greater.

Liu Tan turned his head and said, "I've worked hard today, let's go to the meritorious service first, and then rest."

Qu Rui said with a pale face, "Your Highness...then what about these heads...?"

He has never seen so many heads at such a young age, but this time it was really an eye-opener.

Liu Tan didn't dare to look back, he turned his head to look at Lu Xuan and asked, "Is it useful for you to ask for a human head?"

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment: "That's...recording credit."

To be honest, he learned the method of memorizing merits from Dahan. They used to memorize merits with wooden chips before counting them. After all, there was no written record.

Liu Tan nodded: "Then I'll send someone to help you memorize it. You can see the reward yourself, and I can use the head for you."

Lu Xuan couldn't help asking: "You...what do you want the head for?"

Liu Tan sneered: "Duijing Guan!"

After hearing this, Lu Xuan was shocked for a moment, and then he heard Liu Tan's order: "After the meritorious service, let people transport these heads to the front line, and find a place to pile them up in Beijing for the robbers to see."

Although this is the head of the Huns, the more it is like this, the more pressure it will bring to the robbers.

In the Western Regions, the force value of the Xiongnu is definitely at the ceiling level. The Xiongnu have been defeated by him. Does it even matter if they rob the country?

People, when there is pressure, they tend to lose their positions. This is called attacking the mind. Anyway, whether it is useful or not, just use it first.

Lu Xuan looked at Liu Tan thoughtfully, always felt that he seemed to have learned something again, the civilization of the big man was really unfathomable, whenever he thought he knew enough about this dynasty, this dynasty would surprise him.

No, the person who really surprised him was this one in front of him.

Liu Tan turned around and asked, "Have you been tossing around for several days? Do you want to rest first?"

Liu Tan was really tired. He hadn't slept well since the start of the expedition. Last night, he was worried at first, and then led the troops to the expedition.

This string has been stretched for too long, no matter what he has to take a break, otherwise he will collapse before Jieguo collapses.

After hearing this, Lu Xuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Are you with me?"

Liu Tan: ...

What's going on in your head!

He said blankly, "We don't lack this tent."

Lu Xuan's expression was instantly very regretful, but he was not surprised, he was just joking with Liu Tan just now.

How could he not notice the tension in Liu Tan's heart?No matter how calm he appeared on the surface, Liu Tan was actually more serious than usual. For example, his body posture was always straight and his back was straight, which made him tired just looking at it.

After Liu Tan asked Lu Xuan and his people to settle down, he went to wash up. After washing up, he ate something and planned to sleep.

However, no matter what, he couldn't fall asleep. He was obviously very tired physically, but his spirit was extremely excited. He closed his eyes and tried to keep his thoughts from diverging, but he still jumped.

From the gold mine to Chang'an, I even thought about what happened to Li Guangli and Jiang Chong.

In the end, Liu Tan thought about whether to drink a calming soup, and worried that the taste of that thing would make him unable to sleep even more.

Yes, the Anshen Soup tastes actually very, very unbearable.

Liu Tan hugged the quilt and sat on the couch feeling melancholy, thinking that it would be great if there were sleeping pills.

At this time, Miao Rui was waiting beside him. Miao Rui had heard that Liu Tan turned over in various ways because he couldn't sleep. Seeing him sitting up straight now, Miao Rui couldn't help asking cautiously: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Miao Ruixin even mentioned her throat, don't she really be sick?

Liu Tan scratched his hair, and said a little irritably, "I can't sleep, forget it, I'd better not sleep."

Miao Rui immediately said: "I'll ask someone to make some tonics for His Highness to soothe the nerves, and His Highness will be fine with some."

Liu Tan waved his hand: "Forget it, don't get these things when you're out on an expedition, not to mention there may not be any materials."

This time they are raiding, only guaranteeing the most basic supplies.

Where can there be any cheap supplements that can be delivered to him?So the biggest possibility is that there is no material here at all.

Liu Tan rubbed his face and said, "Forget it, I can't sleep anyway, so why not get up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a little eunuch shouting outside: "Your Highness, little Kunmi is here to visit."

Liu Tan was a little surprised that Lu Xuan didn't go to bed?

You must know that according to Lu Xuan's itinerary, he should be more tired than himself, and there is nothing that can make him tense now, why don't he sleep?

Liu Tan asked people to come in while thinking about going down and getting dressed first, but he didn't expect that Lu Xuan came in very quickly, and instead of waiting outside politely as before, he rushed in directly.

Liu talked about how he always sleeps comfortably, so at this time he was wrapped in a quilt with disheveled hair, and he was completely dumbfounded when he saw Lu Xuan come in—fuck, he can't see outsiders with his current image!

However, Lu Xuan felt that this kind of Liu Tan was very good-looking. His long hair let loose made his face look smaller, and his facial features were softer.

Lu Xuan thought to himself that he had heard a word in the Han people called "Looking Like a Good Woman". At that time, he barely understood the meaning, but now he really understands it.

While thinking about it, he walked over and said, "I just guessed that you might not be able to sleep well. This is a kind of calming incense that I have been using all the time. The ingredients in it are very simple but very useful. You can try it."

Lu Xuan sent a small cloth bag while talking.

Compared with the other things that Lu Xuan gave him before, that small cloth bag was not exquisite at all, it could even be said to be crude.

However, when Lu Xuan's hand stretched out, Liu Tan smelled a faint fragrance, and that fragrance really made people's disturbed mood calm down all of a sudden.

His hands are so beautiful, white and slender, and they look strong, Liu Tan thought in a daze, reached out to take the cloth bag and lowered his head to smell it, then hesitantly said: "Then... Thank you, but gave it to me, how about you?"

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I have my own, I got it for you, and the materials were also taken from the army, and they are all recorded."

The last half of Lu Xuan's sentence sounds superfluous, but it is actually telling Liu Tan or the people around Liu Tan that he didn't add any medicine that can't be added to it.

This relieved Miao Rui a lot, but he still decided to wait and send someone to take a look.

Liu Tan couldn't keep his head in circles because of exhaustion, and it took him a long time to realize: "Oh, then...you should go to rest quickly."

Lu Xuan suddenly said: "When I was in Chang'an, I followed a doctor to recognize some acupuncture points, and I know how to relax. If you don't mind, why don't you let me relax for you?"

If it was Liu Tan on weekdays, he would definitely refuse.

But now his mind is full of one thought: I want to sleep.

When a person is extremely sleepy but can't fall asleep, he will accept any method, so he nodded directly.

Lu Xuan smiled slightly and was about to say something when Liu Tan asked slowly, "What acupuncture points?"

Lu Xuan said: "Just lie down, don't think too much, leave it to me."

Liu Tan hesitated for a moment, then lay down and closed his eyes.

Sitting beside him, Lu Xuan first admired the beauty's sleeping face, and then stretched out his hand to help Liu Tan press the acupuncture points.

As a result, before his hand touched Liu Tan, he heard the messenger outside shouting: "Report, Your Highness, the inner city has been breached!"

Liu Tan, who was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes in an instant, and a carp jumped up: "Really?"

Lu Xuan's hand froze in the air.
