After thinking for a while, Li Xiang finally accepted Li Chengyi's opinion, which made the boy very happy. You know, Li Chengyi is an action-oriented player. He usually carries out tasks and few people listen to his opinions. Everyone regards him as a simple-minded but strong-limbed person.
Although this guy keeps trying to clear himself, most people understand that you may not be able to clear yourself, mainly because when the plan was made in the past, you always sat obediently in your seat. If your name was not called, few people would have noticed that you were also present at the meeting.
This time, I've truly cleared my name. His Highness had already formulated a plan, but because of Li Chengyi's suggestion, the original plan was overturned. Now that his plan is being used, doesn't this prove that I use my brain? If you're not convinced, then why not give His Highness a suggestion and see if he'll listen?
In the next few days, in addition to continuing to increase his control over the Arab army, Li Xiang also began to divide his troops, with one part preparing to fight all the way to the northwest, and the other part honestly preparing to go back and reorganize.
Chang Sunze and Li Chengyi stayed with Li Xiang and led the army to attack northwest, all the way to the coast of the Caspian Sea.
While the Tang army was keeping an eye on Suhguman's main force, Suhguman was not idle either. He had already submitted a memorial to the Arab Caliph, and he would definitely be able to drive away the Tang army in a short time.
Of course, when he wrote this memorial, it was because he had already received the news of the Tang army's retreat. In this situation, he dared to submit this memorial. If the Tang army had not retreated and was still waiting in the original place, he would not dare to submit this memorial even if he was beaten to death.
What if at that time he made a boast, but the Tang army still stayed where it was and continued to drive the refugees south, then he would have to fight against the Tang army. This guy is not a fool. When there is no way to solve the problem of gunpowder, he can only risk human lives.
Now is not the most critical moment. Using human lives to eliminate the Tang army will not only fail to win victory, but will also shake the morale of the army. The morale is now at an extreme low. If human lives are used to eliminate it, I am afraid that my political career will be over, and the people below will also disobey discipline.
Because of the failure of the operation, Sambik and Laf have lost their leadership positions and become ordinary soldiers in the army. Because Laf reacts quickly, he still manages a few people, but Sambik really has nothing.
"Sambik, look, isn't that Uncle Arod?"
That day, when the two men were basking in the sun, Raf suddenly knocked on his companion's door. They didn't have anything to do now. Except for the reconnaissance troops, everyone else stayed in the barracks. There were also advantages to not being an officer. That was that you didn't have to worry about these people, what they ate and drank, you just had to take care of yourself.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle Arod is the chief of the village next door. He's as capable as my father. How could he possibly join the army? If he were to join the army, what would the situation be like with the surrounding conscription? Maybe even my father would have to join the army."
Sambik didn't even open his eyes. He thought it was impossible. No matter how badly the Arab Empire was defeated, it was impossible for it to let Uncle Arod, who was nearly fifty years old, serve in the army. Moreover, Uncle Arod, like his father, followed the expeditionary force to the banks of the Nile River and had a high prestige there. Moreover, Uncle Arod's son was also a small military leader in the local area. He had long said that he would take Uncle Arod to live with him in his old age. It was just that Uncle Arod was reluctant to leave these people in his family. How could he be sent to the battlefield?
"Open your eyes and take a look. I'm not lying. That figure really does look like Uncle A-Rod."
Raf pulled the guy up. If he was not mistaken, this was someone they were familiar with. They also suffered a lot of losses in the operation of expelling refugees. If they did not replenish their troops, the number would definitely not be enough. But Uncle Arod should not come yet. Raf was not sure now. After all, he and Uncle Arod did not interact much and were not on the same level. Sambik was different. Sambik often visited Uncle Arod's house.
When Sambik was pulled up, he also saw someone who looked a bit like him, and the closer he walked, the more similar he looked, especially the scar on his head, which was unique to Uncle Arod. It was said that he had it when he was in the army. He was lucky to have saved his life. If the bleeding had not been stopped at that time, he might have been a grave now.
Sambik walked forward anxiously. Some people greeted him on the road, but he ignored any of them. He wanted to figure out one thing now: was that person Uncle Arod?
If it was Uncle Arod, then it meant that the imperial court had begun a second conscription around the capital. This second conscription was more thorough than the first. If people in their fifties were sent to the army, wouldn't that mean his father was also...
"Stop, return to your barracks."
When the distance was more than fifty meters, Sambik was stopped by someone. He could not go to the side at this moment because the newly recruited soldiers were not stable, so they had to be managed in different areas. If there was no evidence, you could not cross your own area to go to others. He was also afraid that these people would exchange information with each other.
For the Arab court, it is not a good thing to bring these meritorious people back to the army around the royal capital. If these people are allowed to exchange information with each other, they are likely to form an alliance. Once that happens, the initiative on the battlefield will no longer be in our hands. These people are not rookies who can be fooled with just a few words.
Once they exchange information with each other on the battlefield, they will soon know the situation on the battlefield, and they will also know that they cannot defeat the Tang army. At this time, these people may not be polite. They will say what they want to say and do what they want to do. It will not be so easy to control them again.
