"North of the Wulungu River and south of the Ergis River, there is a desert Gobi area. At this time, an army is moving forward with difficulty. This is the southern army commanded by Li Yanzong and Li Xiaoren. Before entering this Gobi, the Xia army can be said to have made sufficient preparations, but the plan will never keep up with the changes. Who would have thought that the Xia army would get lost in this vast desert Gobi, with the heating sun on its head and sweat flowing. If we could not find the source of water, this invincible army would probably be roasted to death by the scorching sun.

The entire army was already out of clothes at this time. There were two teenagers in this army. These two were Li Liangzuo's eldest son Li Bingchang and second son Li Wu. At this time, the two were as untidy as the other soldiers, and took off all the weights on their bodies. They were sloppy like a beggar begging in the street. At this time, Li Wu was holding Li Bingchang, and Li Bingchang looked very weak, which was caused by dehydration.

"Brother, you are persisting. We will be able to go out soon." Li Wu said while supporting Li Bingchang.

You may ask them why they don’t ride horses! At this time, both horses and war horses are already very weak. All horses and camels are used to carry supplies, and some horses with poor physique are already dead. If people ride on them at this time, it won’t take long to take these horses to death.

"Wu'er, listen to my brother, leave me here! My brother can't live anymore. You must take good care of your father, mother and mother..." Li Bingchang said weakly.

"Brother, don't worry! You won't have any trouble. I will carry you out even if I carry you." Li Wu said firmly to Li Bingchang.

After Li Wu heard that Li Bingchang stopped talking, he thought that Li Bingchang had agreed, so he immediately recited Li Bingchang. Although both Li Wu and Li Bingchang received Li Liangzuo's military training, it was obvious that Li Wu's physique was much better than Li Bingchang's physique. Although Li Bingchang's martial arts skills were not weak, he looked more like a Confucian scholar, while Li Wu inherited the excellent genes of the Dangxiang people and grew tall and powerful.

When the sun sets three minutes, the army camps in a shaded place; many people may wonder why they don’t march at the party because it is so hot during the day! If the Xia army marched at night, they would definitely not see the sun the next day. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert Gobi Desert is very large. The biting cold wind can freeze people to death, and the night marching is even more dangerous. Due to long-term malnutrition, many soldiers have night blindness.

The army set up a camp on a Gobi Desert. Li Wu carried Li Bingchang into a tent and placed it on the bed, and then hurried to find a military doctor. At this time, Li Yanzong and Li Xiaoren also arrived. Li Bingchang was the eldest prince of the Daxia Kingdom. If there was any accident in this military operation, the two of them, as commanders of the army, could not refuse the blame, so after the army set up camp, they hurried here to wait.

"Military doctor, how is my elder brother's condition?" Li Wu asked Li Bingchang anxiously.

The military doctor shook his head and said, "The situation of the eldest prince is very bad. If there is no water, I am afraid the eldest prince will be alive..."

The military doctor did not dare to say the following words, but everyone knew the seriousness of the matter. Li Wu was silent for a while and said, "Go and get a bowl."

Soon a soldier took a bowl in. Li Wu rolled up his sleeves and took out a sharp dagger to cut his wrist. The sticky blood flowed down from Li Wu's wrist. Due to the severe lack of water, Li Wu's blood seemed very sticky.

Seeing Li Wu cutting his wrist, Li Xiaoren was shocked and said, "Second Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Li Wu said to everyone: "Brother and I have the same blood on them. Now I am the only one who can save him."

After putting a bowl of blood, Li Wu's face was pale. The military doctor immediately bandaged Li Wu's wound and said to Li Wu: "Second Your Highness, you should pay more attention to rest these days."

"The military doctor is here for a while. Please give me the bowl of blood to my elder brother!" Li Wu said to the military doctor very politely.

With the help of Li Xiaoren, Li Wu left the military tent. Li Wu said to Li Xiaoren: "Uncle, I want to go around."

Li Xiaoren understood Li Wu's character, so he agreed, "Okay! Come back early to rest."

After Li Wu left, Li Xiaoren said to the people around him: "You guys must protect the Second Highness."

"Yes, I'm not going to take the order." The captain immediately took the order and left.

Li Wu took the captain and several guards to leave the camp. Not far from the camp, Li Wu saw some green plants. Such scenes were very rare in the Gobi Desert. Li Wu remembered what Li Liangzuo said when he taught himself. Li Wu said to the captain beside him: "I remember my father told us that the reason why these plants can grow is that there is a certain water source in this area. As long as we can get water, the army can survive."

"Your Highness, are we going to dig a well here?" the captain asked Li Wu.

"Of course it is impossible to dig a well. You can get nothing but sand and gravel here." Li Wu smiled and said, "You go back and tell the soldiers of the army that before dawn tomorrow, all the soldiers will come here to gather with their swords and helmets, and there will naturally be water at that time."

After Li Wu returned to the camp, he told Li Yanzong and Li Xiaoren about his thoughts. Although they felt it was unlikely, they still chose to follow Li Wu's advice and just treat it as a dead horse. Under Li Wu's planning, the next day before dawn, the army gathered in the Gobi outside the camp.

Li Wu held his sword and saw his helmet buried in the sand and said, "You can find a rack to fix the weapons as I do, and when the sun comes out, there will naturally be water."

Everyone was skeptical about Li Wu's words, but they still did it. When the sun rose, water droplets condensed on the cold weapons, and the water droplets fell freely along the weapons and dripped into the vessel below; "There is water, there is water..."

I don’t know who shouted, and in an instant, the soldiers of the entire army found that there was a source of water in the vessels under their weapons. Although there was not much water, no one was only half a bowl of them, with this water, they could have the strength to walk out of this desert Gobi. Because Li Wu’s prestige in the army was growing continuously at this time, Li Wu used his intelligence and talent to gain the trust of the soldiers of the entire army.
