Front Camp
Although victory has not been achieved yet, all the generals have returned to the camp. After a period of reconnaissance, they have not found the army of the Arab Empire for five or six days, and they have not even found Arab scouts. They really don't know where these people have gone.

Li Xiang's camp has been moving forward for five or six days. At this moment, it is only 200 miles away from Li Chengyi. So when Li Xiang gave an order, all these people came back to hold a meeting to see where the Arab Empire's army is. Our reconnaissance troops have dispatched so many, but in the end they have not been found.

"As far as I'm concerned, there's only one place these people are, and that's in the desert. We've looked for them everywhere except here."

Li Chengyi said very affirmatively that since winning this battle, this guy has become very confident. In the past, when discussing military intelligence, he would just stay in the back and make a few remarks casually, but now it is different. He will express his ideas on many things, but unfortunately, all his ideas are invalid.

"That's unlikely. Hundreds of thousands of troops are going to the desert. What do you think a desert is? I don't think they can solve the problem of drinking water. If people don't drink water, they will become dehydrated in a few days. Think about the environment in the desert. No matter how many people there are, they can't survive."

Cheng Chuliang shook his head. After hearing what Cheng Chuliang said, Li Chengyi quickly made a face and went to the back. Although he won a victory this time, he still couldn't compare with these people in many aspects of strategy, which was also his shortcoming.

To sum up this victory, he won it purely by brute force, without much wisdom. Of course, the Tang army never needed much wisdom when fighting. As long as you dare to fight on the battlefield and your logistics are not a problem, then this war will definitely be won. This is also one of the reasons why many generals are always looking for enemies on the battlefield.

Take the current situation for example. It is not that we do not want to fight, nor that we are afraid of death. It is just that we simply cannot find the target. Even if we are many times more courageous than before, what can we do in the end? Can we just fight against the sand in the desert?
"Old Su, what do you think?"

These people talked for a long time, but no one got to the point. Li Xiang pushed Su Dingfang. This guy had been to the Western Regions before. Although he had never fought against the army of the Arab Empire, he had his own strategies on the battlefield. Looking at the way he was thinking, he must have all kinds of ideas in his mind, but he was not sure yet and did not say them in front of everyone.

"Yes, General Su, if you have something to say, let's discuss it. Maybe it will be approved."

Chang Sun Ze also respected Su Dingfang very much. Thinking about the battles that Su Dingfang had fought in the past, they might not be able to do better than others in that environment. What's more, Su Dingfang had been a general in charge of seals, which was something none of them had. His Tiance General's Mansion had seen a lot of things, and we were still juniors compared to him.

"Is there a possibility that they just bypassed us? If so, our capital amulet might be in trouble."

After Su Dingfang said this, all the people present were shocked. If this was true, then the enemy would definitely go straight to Samar Khan. There are wilderness everywhere here, and there is no specific road at all. We are just taking the nearest road. But this does not mean that they will take this road. When they faced the enemy head-on earlier, they suffered a great loss. Now if they all go around and cut off your retreat, this is completely possible. If it were the army of other countries, I am afraid they would not be able to do such a thing. After all, these people can't hold on just for the logistics supply.

But the enemies before us are the cavalry of the Arab Empire and the light cavalry of the Arab Empire. To be more precise, these people do not need any logistics at all.

"When was the last time you received a memorial from Xiao Shougui?"

Li Xiang saw that everyone was looking at him, and they all had worry on their faces, but Li Xiang thought that this was impossible. There were transport troops coming and going along the way. If those people really wanted to cut off our retreat, someone would have discovered them by now.

"Your Highness, a batch of them just arrived this morning. They were from five days ago..."

Qian Ping reported the above contents honestly, and the people present kept silent. The place was safe and sound five days ago. If something really happened, perhaps the memorial would not be like this.

Cheng Chuliang also thought of the transport troops coming and going. This means that our hometown must be fine. If there was a problem, how did these things get here? If the Arab Empire's army occupied your hinterland, would they allow your things to be transported from the warehouse to the camp? They would have taken them away long ago, or they would have burned them all.

"Is it possible that they all retreated? I mean, they retreated to the heartland of the Arab Empire."

Li Chengyi expressed another idea. Now that they have not moved forward and have not gone into the desert, they only have one direction, that is, where they came from and where they are going. Although this possibility is not great, hundreds of thousands of people now cannot just disappear like that.

After hearing his words, everyone present looked solemn. If the Arab Empire's cavalry really withdrew, we would not dare to chase them. We had killed so many of them outside, and this was caused on the battlefield. But if we really wanted to break into the Arab Empire, Li Xiang thought that now was not the right time.

The Arab Empire was also a big country at that time, and their population was not small. Moreover, because of the issue of faith, many people were willing to risk their lives. If we really fought our way in, it would bring us huge losses. In the long-term foreign war, Li Xiang was most concerned about the number of losses. If we could defeat the Arab Empire with the greatest losses, it would be fine. But the problem is that you have losses. What if you can't defeat it? Then the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in these years will be... (End of this chapter)
