Mansur was noncommittal when he heard the words of the Minister of Agriculture, and then the Minister of Commerce and Trade stood up and saluted, and said: "Chiefs of the Faithful, I do not think that we can reinforce now, but that we must retreat overnight and withdraw to the castle of Behedashir!" ”

Mansour frowned: "Why?" ”

The Minister of Commerce and Trade said: "Commander of the Faithful, now that the Western Qin army has defeated Said's cavalry, the infantry will not be able to withstand the cavalry for long under the onslaught of the cavalry, maybe our reinforcements have not yet arrived, they have been defeated!" The Western Qin army has been successful in the battle for the Tahe Heights, and we will send the army over now, it is just a matter of attrition, and it is late at night, who can guarantee that the reinforcements will not enter the trap of the Western Qin army in the process? Fort Zanji is only thirty miles away from Tahe Heights, if the Western Qin army learns that we have sent reinforcements, they will inevitably send reinforcements as well, and the two sides will endlessly carry out refueling tactics, and they will inevitably carry out a large-scale decisive battle on Tahe Heights, and in the end, even if we want to get out, we can't get out! Haven't you decided to take advantage of the fact that their logistical supply lines have been cut off to bring them down? If he fought a decisive battle with the Western Qin army now, wouldn't General Ziyad's trip to attack Zaheidan be a waste of effort? And it may also make them sink into the city of Zaheidan and annihilate the whole army! ”

"Therefore, I think that if you don't want to have a decisive battle with the Western Qin army at this time, it is best to immediately order the army to retreat overnight, and as for the defeated Sayyid army, let them drag the footsteps of the Western Qin army, and let the Western Qin people stay in Zanji Fort for a few more days, and wait until their food and arrows are almost exhausted, then it is time for our army to take the initiative to attack!"

Mansour seemed to be a little moved, but he was still a little surprised, looked at and asked, "What do you think, what do you think?" ”

And Bo Silin frowned at this time, "The commander of the believers, the flying eagle of Ziyad sent news that he had engaged Zhao Hu, the general of the Western Qin army, in the small town of Bad, and was defeated by Zhao Hu, and now he only has more than five thousand people left, and if it is not for your order, he will take these brothers to defend Zaheidan, where there is enough food to hold for half a year." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info retreat is cut off, no logistical supplies, after the news spreads, there will definitely be disagreements within the Western Qin army, ordinary soldiers will definitely be panicked, their combat effectiveness should drop a lot, Zaheedan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the king of Western Qin knows that he will not be able to recapture Zaheidan in a short period of time and restore the smooth flow of supply lines, so he has to lead the army to rush to a decisive battle with the main force of our army, as long as they defeat our army, they can not only capture a large amount of food, but also obtain a large number of weapons, bows and arrows, They can even forcibly scrape the inhabitants of the occupied territory to replenish the military supplies! If we fight them now, we will be playing into the hands of the King of Western Qin, and I suggest that you immediately order the whole army to retreat to Behedashir Castle overnight, and for the sake of safety, leave a cavalry to contain the Western Qin army and prevent them from pursuing the main force of our army! ”

Mansur was silent for a long time, and asked seemingly unwillingly, "Is it true that my army has no hope of winning against the army of the King of Western Qin head-on?" We still have an army of 90,000, including 40,000 in the Guards, and the regular army of the King of Western Qin is only 30,000, we still have 20,000 Mutvar, 10,000 mercenaries, and 20,000 tribal troops. We need a win to get everyone's confidence back! ”

And Bo Silin sighed: "Commander, although I don't want to admit it, I must still say that if we face the Western Qin army head-on, the probability of our victory will not exceed thirty percent!" They have a standing army of 30,000 and a servant army of 50,000, the difference between the forces of the two sides is not obvious, their standing army combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of our Guards, this is a fact, and the combat effectiveness of our other armies is comparable to the combat effectiveness of their servant army, so it is difficult to win, but ??????"

As soon as Mansour heard this, it seemed that he had a chance to turn the tables around, and immediately asked, "But what?" ”

And Bo Silin said: "But we can find a way to make their servant army unable to play the combat power they should have, so that the probability of our victory can be half of it, or find a way to make them have internal problems, then our chance of winning will be more than half!" ”

Mansour's spirit was shocked, and he immediately said, "What can you do?" ”

And Bo Xilin said: "Find a person with weight alone or with an army to pretend to surrender to the king of Western Qin, enter the army of the king of Western Qin, and find a way to make them have internal problems, you can start from three aspects: first, to separate the king of Western Qin and those traitors of the servant army who have surrendered to the king of Western Qin; second, find a way to burn the grain, grass and ordnance of the army of the King of Western Qin; Third, when we are in a decisive battle with the King of Western Qin, this person must strike a counterattack against the army of the King of Western Qin, only in this way can we have full confidence to defeat the King of Western Qin! ”

Mansour's eyes lit up when he heard this, he had never thought of such a method, and neither had the ministers and generals of the Great Food Nation present heard of it, but it sounded very feasible, and the method that Posilin had said opened a new door in their thinking.

Mansour slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay, this method is very good, very good!" And Bosilin, how did you come up with this? ”

And Bo Xilin said: "Over the years, I have been studying the military and culture of the Oriental Tang people, and I have read a lot of Oriental books, in fact, this method is not uncommon in the East, and many Oriental sages have used it. I call it an undercover plan, and if you want to implement this undercover plan, there must be an extremely important premise, that is, how to gain the trust of the king of Western Qin. We all know that the Oriental people are very cunning, and this person who was sent must have a prominent status in our Great Food Country, so that he can attract the attention of the King of Western Qin, so that he thinks that this person's surrender will definitely have a non-negligible effect on his conquest of our Great Food Country! The person who goes to surrender to the King of Western Qin must have an extremely good reason, to make him resentful of you, to let everyone see that his surrender to the King of Western Qin is a last resort, to make everything seem reasonable, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the King of Western Qin, if the suspicion of the King of Western Qin cannot be eliminated, this undercover plan will not succeed! ”

Mansour nodded, looking forward to the plan, and asked, "So who can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

Vizier Khalid stood up and saluted Manhard and said: "Commander of the faithful, the person who takes on this important task must be wise, familiar with the customs and culture of the Tang people, must be very adaptable, must be able to endure humiliation, and this person must also be a person you do not like very much. ”

Mansur listened to Khalid's words and was silent for a long time before he looked up at Bo Silin, frowned, and said: "I really don't know the bottom of my heart against the King of Western Qin, and Bo Silin must stay by my side, I have to ask his opinion at all times in military affairs, or appoint another candidate!" ”

Khalid said: "But among all the ministers and generals, only Zopo Silin meets these conditions, and no one else can!" If you forcibly send undercover agents in the past, it is likely that you will not achieve the goal of weakening the Western Qin army! ”

The Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, the Minister of Commerce and Trade, the Minister of Taxation, and others all stood up and said, "The chief of the believers, and Bo Silin are the most suitable candidates, and none of the others are up to the task!" ”

It's not that Mansour doesn't want to send and Posilin to go undercover, he doesn't want to be burdened with the discord between Bosilin, he doesn't like the reputation of Bosilin, and if Bosilin's undercover plan is not successful, he will also bear the reputation of the communiqué's personal vendetta and deliberately killing and Posilin. But now so many ministers agree that only Bo Silin is the most suitable, and he really doesn't know what to do.

He understood Mansour's concerns after thinking about it carefully, and took the initiative to stand up and salute and said: "Chiefs of the faithful, I also think that I am the best executor of this plan, and today I take the initiative to stand up and ask for the implementation of this plan It is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone!" ”

Although this was said in a vague way, how could Mansur not understand it? He: "Ahem! He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Okay, since you ask for it yourself and insist, I agree that you will go undercover to the King of Western Qin, how do you need me to cooperate with you?" ”

"The chief of the believers to be present may ?????? like this" And Bo Silin explained in detail the plan he had come up with.

After discussing this matter, Bo Silin said to Mansur: "Commander of the Believers, I think Ziyad's role in Zahedan City is no longer great, because his cavalry is left and has lost the ability to attack, as long as the Western Qin army sends an army to besiege Zahedan City, their supply line can bypass Zahedan City and lead directly to the army of the Western Qin King, if so, Ziyad and Daoud will be trapped in Zahedan City and will never come back!" We now lack rich combat experience, especially the lack of experienced generals who have combat experience against the Western Qin Army, so it is the best choice for them to come back alive and safe! I advise the prefects of the Believers to send orders from the Flying Eagle at once, to abandon the city of Zaheedan before the siege, and to return to the Citadel of Behedashir through the Ruti Desert again, where they will join you! ”

Mansur originally wanted to refuse, he thought that Ziyad and Daoud would have some effect in guarding Zaheidan City, at least a part of Western Qin's troops, but he really couldn't find any other reason, and he was even embarrassed to refuse and Bo Silin, because this guy didn't know if he could succeed, if he didn't succeed, he would likely be killed by the king of Western Qin, and he couldn't refuse the request of someone with such a major mission.

"Alright, then use the Flying Eagle to send an order to Ziyad and Daoud to abandon Zaheedan City and lead the army back to Behedashir Castle by the same route!"
