The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Li Chengyi's words immediately attracted the attention of others. To be honest, letting these people go back like this made them feel really uncomfortable. You must know that they have been preparing for so long, isn't it just for this moment? Now, except for Li Chengyi, the rest of the people have basically never seen the army of the Arab Empire. If they are allowed to go back like this, not only will they be unable to cope with it psychologically, but they will also have no way to explain to some of their subordinates.

They came here from Chang'an City, and now they have nothing to do and are about to return directly. What's going on? Are they all wasting food on the road? Some people walked here from Chang'an City for several months. During these few months, they thought about fighting with the people of the Arab Empire. Unfortunately, this was the result. Who could feel comfortable?

So after Li Chengyi finished speaking, several people looked at Li Xiang expectantly, hoping that Li Xiang would approve the plan. Of course, after approval, there would be too many people and too many people who wanted to stay, but there would definitely be few positions.

But after approval, there will always be someone who stays. If you don't stay, then he will definitely be able to stay, and there will be a quota anyway. If it is not approved now, it will be in vain for us people, and we will hurry up honestly. go back.

"It's not impossible to do what you said. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable if I just go back like this. I also know that some people below are not willing to do it, but we can't leave too many people behind. , the maximum is 5,000 people, and it can only be two teams. These 5,000 people must be from all military branches, which is a smaller version of your current team. They must be capable when encountering the enemy, otherwise they are It’s like delivering food to people.”

Li Xiang thought for a while and said, three thousand people is a bit too few. The Arab Empire's army can easily number in the tens of thousands. If you don't have enough mobility, you may be surrounded by others at any time, and you will not be able to benefit by that time. .

Five thousand people is just right. Even if you include the musketeers and other military units, it is enough. According to our previous plan, even if we encounter enemies three times our size, we will be able to handle it.

"I listen to His Highness, but I don't know who will stay?"

Su Dingfang was too lazy to worry about anything else. Anyway, as long as you can get people to stay, you can have as many people as you want.

The other three people didn't say anything, but the expressions on their faces gave them away. Li Xiang was really worried at this time. These four people obviously wanted to stay. Li Chengyi had already made great achievements by excluding this person. But the other three people all have the idea of ​​staying. Who should they give it to?

"You don't need to stay. Among the four of you, you have already made great achievements. If you are still allowed to stay, I'm afraid all three of them will be unconvinced. Including me, they all feel sorry for letting you. Do you have any problem with following me back?"

Li Chengyi had this idea in his mind for a long time, so when Li Xiang said it, the guy could only nod helplessly. He had known this result for a long time, but when it actually came, he still felt a little bit shortchanged in his heart. After all, this It was suggested that we also participate, but in the end there was no opportunity to share.

Of course, what the Tang Army values ​​is collective honor. Now that you have made a contribution, you have to give others a bite to eat. You can’t eat until you’re almost stuffed to death. Others don’t even have a grain of rice. This doesn’t make sense. of.

When they heard that Li Chengyi was eliminated, the three of them were very happy. This boy used to be a follower, but now he has grown to be almost like them. If this boy is allowed to stay, just with his diligence and energy, I'm afraid we have to provide him with support. Just drag this guy to the rear. Didn't Xiao Shougui say that the rear is not peaceful? It's just a good time to let this kid go back and help, since he can make things happen anyway.

But two places are divided between three people, and one person will eventually be eliminated. Now none of these three people want to be eliminated. Everyone wants to stay here, but the question is how to divide them? Remember, to convince these three people, you have to be competent at this.

"Don't let any of you three talk about your advantages. I know all your advantages. That's good. The three of you draw lots. We have two pieces of paper with red dots and one piece of paper with nothing. If Whoever catches this piece of paper will have to follow me back. The remaining two will stay, and of course they will rotate every six months. "

After hearing what Li Xiang said, the three people became nervous instantly. Of course, Li Xiang's solution was not wrong. If only two of them were left and Li Xiang assigned them, then the other person would definitely feel uncomfortable. , We are all direct descendants of His Highness, why can you two stay? How am I different from you two?

Li Xiang didn't want his men to fight because of this. At this time, the Western Regions still need people. Otherwise, it would be fine to keep all four of them. Of course, the remaining troops cannot be too many, mainly because there are still Some supplies have to be delivered.

In this vast desert, it is too difficult to find one's own army. According to the current capabilities of the Tang Dynasty army, it can only leave two armies, and several more supply points must be set up. Otherwise, these people will have to fight with others with muskets in the second half. Of course, they have to use the muskets as fire sticks.

There is no need to worry about food and drink. If these people do not have the ability to survive in the wild, then they are not worthy of being called the elite of the Tang Dynasty. Before coming to Arabia, these people had done some training for the Arabian environment, but there was really no way to replenish gunpowder. Except for the Tang army transporting it from the rear, they really did not have the ability.

Of course, the weather here is dry, and it does not rain for a year, which can be regarded as a disguised help to the Tang army. If it really rains, our musketeers will really become a decoration. When fighting in other places, musketeers are a little afraid, but in the Arab territory, there is really no need to worry about rain. According to what they said, it only rains once or twice a year, and at most the ground will be wet.

The three people looked at the copper pot in front of them with trepidation. The paper inside was lit by Li Xiang himself, and no one saw it, so the three people did not know which one to draw. I really hope that there will be a mark on that paper. (End of this chapter)
