Hearing what Li Xiang said, Xiao Shougui also frowned. He originally thought that our two wandering troops had already fought against the Arab Empire's army, and could even annihilate a large number of enemies, even without a large number of enemies. If so, there must be a little bit, but judging from their memorials, apart from experiencing the scorching sun in the desert, there is really no army of the Arab Empire to be found.

When Li Xiang retreated that day, he left an order for them, that is, they should move within 500 miles of the battlefield and not move forward. If they continue to move forward, it will be within the Arab Empire. Once they do, Being surrounded by their people, we have no possibility of rescue at all, so Li Xiang is hesitating now, either to let these people withdraw, or to let them continue to go deeper.

Seeing Li Xiang's frown, Xiao Shougui felt that he should give it a try.

"Your Highness, if conditions permit, why not let them charge south? However, the five thousand men they have are definitely not enough. Your Highness should still let them gather ten thousand people. Then, just like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, Your Highness attacked Tuyuhun. When we go deep into the grassland, don't we? Only by doing things that they dare not think of can we penetrate their hearts and let them know how powerful our Datang is."

Xiao Shougui thought of this incident, and Li Xiang's eyes lit up at this moment. He wondered if he had become famous now, and he was becoming less and less willing to take risks. When he led the expedition to Tuyuhun, he only had a few thousand men. Didn’t people also leave Liangzhou City and move deeper into the grassland?

Now Cheng Chuliang and Su Dingfang.

Everyone's ability is stronger than that of the past, and the weapons and equipment are stronger now, so even if they go deep south, they can still guarantee victory. If they want an army to eat them, they will probably have to get Send out five to eight times the force.

When the Arab Empire was not defeated, they might have had this ability, but one hundred thousand people were annihilated in one fell swoop, plus those in the Anton Governor's Mansion. If calculated this way, the Arab Empire was in the war with the Tang Dynasty. , the loss has exceeded 400,000 people, which is not a huge failure.

So when the Arab army met the Tang army, they would definitely have a psychological pressure, and this psychological pressure might be the beginning of their failure.

"Do you think an army of 20,000 can stir up the entire Arab Empire?"

Li Xiang said with some doubts that the commanding ability of these two people is beyond doubt. Each of them is equipped with an army of 10,000 people, but with only 20,000 people, what can they do within the borders of the Arab Empire? If you go too deep into the game, you will most likely be surrounded, and then it will be over.

"Your Highness, don't expect too much from them. They won't be able to win with 100,000 people now, but as long as they can win a little bit, won't that also weaken the Arab Empire?"

Xiao Shougui also saw that Li Xiang's expectations were a bit high. Of course, this was normal. If he ate too much at a big meal, he would naturally spoil his appetite, so he didn't like the roadside stalls at all. Now Xiao Shougui just let Li Xiang get used to it. Sometimes roadside stalls are also very delicious.

"It seems that you have seen clearly, but I am a little too persistent. Then I will do as you say and immediately send an order to Changsun Ze, asking him to lead an army of 20,000 people southward, of which 10,000 troops will be handed over to the Two generals and the remaining 10,000 men were stationed where we originally fought."

Li Xiang thought for a while and said, the 20,000 troops are deep into the enemy's territory, and there is no support from the rear. Changsun Ze takes these 10,000 people there, which can be regarded as a supporting force. If they fail on the opposite side, there will be people after returning. Provide supplies. In the vast desert, supplies are the most important. If you lack these things, you will probably be defeated even if there are no enemies in front of you.

Changsun Ze quickly received the task. During this month, he continued to train the local army in order to let these people join the Tang army as soon as possible. Although there is no way to send them to the battlefield yet, At least it made them understand that there was no benefit in following the original tribal nobles.

After those tribal nobles were beheaded that day, these people have finally come to their senses. The Tang Dynasty court not only gives you favors, but sometimes also wants your blood. It depends on how you choose. If you stand in the camp of the Tang Dynasty and conquer the Arabian Empire in the future, everyone will benefit. But if you think of causing trouble in the rear, your whole family will turn into ashes before you succeed.

Now after receiving Li Xiang's order, Changsun Ze immediately set out on the road. The Tang army's ability to assemble was very fast. From receiving the order to now, less than five hours have passed. Changsun Ze has already led the army. As the front team set off, Li Chengyi looked at all this with great envy, but he also understood that His Highness would not let him go to the front line in a short time. Among the four generals, he had the most credit, so among the others, he had not Before getting credit, he could only stay here with Li Xiang, not to mention that a general was needed in the rear.

Among the 20,000 elites, Changsunze also brought along 2,000 local troops. Although Li Xiang objected, Changsunze still argued with reason. These people had written blood letters and they wanted to improve things through war. The lives of our families, if we don't give them a chance, would be a bit too much.

These two thousand people will be divided into two parts, one will follow Su Dingfang, and the other will follow Cheng Chuliang. As for whether they can improve their family's life after returning from the front line, it depends on their performance on the battlefield.

If you perform well, then we will be happy, and your family can get more food and water, but if you don't perform well, then I'm afraid you are deceiving us. The Tang army has never been soft on those who deceive us.

Especially in Goguryeo, what happened to Jin Yuanzhi, so in this case, we must be a little wary of rebels in any region, otherwise it is easy to be beheaded in a dream. This is by no means a joke, those who are not of my race must have different hearts! (End of this chapter)
