Li Zhenxiao hesitated for a moment and asked this question.

Gao Yang rolled his eyes directly and smiled, "Among the eight hundred personal guards, four hundred are Xiongnu; if they can't even find supplies in the Xiongnu's territory, what use are they?"

"And as long as you find one Xiongnu tribe, you can get more surrendered soldiers and more news. Filtering news is a difficult task for others, but for this official, it is very easy."

"Of course, from a rigorous point of view, there is also the possibility of not finding supplies, but this official has another survival method that is extremely powerful in the desert!"

Gao Yang looked serious and extremely solemn.

Gao Tianlong saw Gao Yang's expression and knew that Gao Yang was going to be cheeky again.

And, this powerful survival method, others didn't know, but did he, Gao Tianlong, not know?

Since departing from Changancheng, it had given him a huge shock!

Therefore, Gao Tianlong coughed twice and said, "If you want to take advice, it's best not to listen to this powerful survival method."

But once these words were out.

Lu Zhen was immediately dissatisfied, "Old Duke, look at what you're saying; good things are actually being hidden—this isn't me, Lu Zhen, talking about you."

"As a commander, one cannot eat alone and cannot be stingy!"

Sun Jingbian also spoke up, "Grand General, in the entire Great Qian court, who doesn't know that I, Sun Jingbian, have never listened to advice in my life!"

"Listening to advice—that's impossible in this life!"

"Lord Gao, hurry up and tell us, what is this powerful survival method?"

For a moment, the generals spoke up one after another.

This is a good thing; who knows when it might be used?

Seeing this, Gao Tianlong stopped talking.

Fine, it was he who was stingy.

"Yang'er, then you say it." Gao Tianlong said helplessly; at this moment, he deeply felt that it was hard to be a good person.

In fact, if Gao Tianlong hadn't spoken to stop him, Gao Yang would have been unable to hold back long ago.

At this moment, hearing Gao Tianlong's words, Gao Yang had no more scruples and directly faced the expectant gazes and spoke.

"This powerful survival method is simple: if you are really at a dead end, just order the eight hundred men to form a circle, then the first one starts to defecate, and the ones behind eat it, repeating this to form a perfect closed loop; that way, you can hold on for at least a few more days."

Gao Yang looked serious, and when he said these words, his face was full of earnestness.

But Lu Zhen, Wang Zhong, and the others who heard these words all turned to stone.

Ah?

This powerful survival method?

Everyone's scalp tingled.

Sun Jingbian regretted it even more in his heart.

Hey!

Damn it!

Should have listened to advice!

Gao Tianlong shook his head, looking at the expressions on their faces, stroking the beard on his chin, feeling secretly refreshed in his heart.

Not listening to this old man's words, suffering is right before your eyes.

This is the outcome!

But to prevent Gao Yang from continuing, Gao Tianlong directly said, "Yang'er, there's no need to explain the combat plan in detail; you just need to know it in your heart."

This grandson of his was too honest; this was a method to subdue the Xiongnu enemy, how precious it was, yet he just said it so lightly.

As a military general, Gao Tianlong felt meat-pain in his heart, deeply feeling it was a waste of heaven's gifts.

Everyone understood Gao Tianlong's meaning, so they didn't ask again; as Gao Tianlong said, the art of war was too precious, especially the move Gao Yang used, which was unprecedented!

This made it even more precious!

Just as Gao Tianlong was about to order Gao Yang to go down and have a good rest, the messenger's voice rang out suddenly from outside the tent.

"Report!"

"Report to the Grand General, the Xiongnu Prince and the Right Worthy King have sent an envoy to meet the Grand General!"

Once these words were out.

The atmosphere in the tent changed slightly.

Even Gao Yang looked curious.

Lu Zhen said, "Could it be that the Xiongnu Prince has already heard the news that the lair is gone, so he specifically sent an envoy?"

Gao Yang shook his head directly, "Impossible, news is scarce, and the distance between the Xiongnu main force and the Xiongnu rear lair is very far; it's impossible to be faster than this official."

"This Xiongnu Prince absolutely cannot know!"

Lu Zhen was full of doubt, "Then this is weird; why send an envoy for no reason?"

Gao Tianlong's eyes were deep, and his whole body exuded a cold momentum as he spoke directly.

"We'll know once we see him!"

"Someone, bring the Xiongnu envoy in!"

Following Gao Tianlong's order.

The camp opened wide.

The Great Qian soldiers made way, and the middle-aged Xiongnu envoy, wearing a long robe and a felt hat, walked in with a face full of arrogance.

The Xiongnu envoy was named Azali, and he was Baier's confidant; this time he was ordered to come to humiliate Great Qian!

That's right, it was humiliation!

He wanted to shake Great Qian's military morale and deal a heavy blow to Great Qian's spirit!

As for his life, various vicious punishments—these were all small matters in his heart!

For him, spiritual pursuit had long been higher than everything else!

Soon.

After being searched, Azali strode into the main army camp.

But as an envoy on the surface, he couldn't just come up and humiliate them.

That would be a disgrace to the Xiongnu style!

"Azali, on the orders of the Right Worthy King and the Prince, has come to pay respects to the Grand General!"

Azali bowed slightly, his arrogant voice rang out, and a pair of cold eyes looked at Gao Tianlong.

This envoy was very wild!

Gao Tianlong frowned, a pair of cold eyes looking at Azali.

He said indifferently, "Since the Xiongnu have been instigated by the three kingdoms of Yan, Qi, and Chu to invade Great Qian repeatedly, there has long been no room for maneuver between us."

"What is the need for this mission?"

Upon hearing this, Azali remained unmoved.

He hadn't even made a move yet, and the Great Qian generals were already anxious.

Later, I fear they will be even more anxious!

Therefore, he said, "Grand General, why be angry? This envoy came to Great Qian for the sake of peace between the Xiongnu and Great Qian."

"Instead of continuing to stalemate here, it's better to withdraw the army early, so as not to waste supplies and food in vain."

"Although the Great Qian Empress is a bit ignorant of what's good for her, my Great Chanyu is, after all, a man like a male eagle; he naturally won't lower himself to the level of a woman. Just send a few princesses for marriage later, and give a few million taels of gold, and the Great Chanyu will treat it as if it never happened."

"How about it?"

Azali was full of arrogance, revealing his ugly face at this moment.

These words caused the anger of Gao Tianlong and the others to instantly surge.

Great Qian using princesses for marriage—this was a disgrace, the greatest disgrace in the heart of any soldier who protects the country!

Was this bastard deliberately here to humiliate them?

But immediately after, when they thought of the Chanyu's grandfather, uncle, great-grandmother, second grand-uncle, and eldest cousin all being in their hands, that anger instantly dissipated.

Even, everyone wanted to laugh!

"This old man thinks this is not very good."

Gao Tianlong poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said indifferently. ===== CHAPTER 1310 =====
