Chapter 1570: Luck
"This is very fair for us. I was the only one doing the whole process. No one has seen what's going on inside, so you don't need to doubt it. Moreover, after the three pieces of paper were pulled out, they were all spread out on the table. According to the It should be the fairest thing to draw lots based on your age. Let me just say this beforehand. If someone still has a problem after the draw, he or she will not have to lead the army in the future. We are all gentlemen, and no one should mess with it. Those girly things.”
Before doing this, Li Xiang had to make it clear to these people. If some people could not afford to lose, then they simply should not participate in this draw. The three of them also nodded with a smile. Normally, everyone There is a high chance of being drawn, but one person must be eliminated.
Under this fair draw, none of the three people would have any other say. After all, this is already fair and it couldn't be fairer. If you don't get the draw, it's just your bad luck. Are you still Can you blame luck?
Su Dingfang was the oldest among the three. This guy took out one first and spread it directly on the table. There was indeed a dot in the middle, which meant that this guy could stay. This guy was about to jump up with joy. The remaining two people frowned, which was equivalent to taking away half of the chance, and only one person remained here.
For Su Dingfang, drawing lots is actually the best way.
If Li Xiang were asked to weigh the pros and cons, it would be impossible for Li Chengyi to stay, and it would be impossible for her, Su Dingfang, to stay. After all, there are still many things to do later. This guy is more reliable in handling things. Li Xiang will definitely take him back, but Now that I can draw a lucky draw, this is really a blessing from my ancestors.
Compared with the smile on Su Dingfang's face, the faces of the other two people became gloomy. They now only have a 50% chance. They had a 70% chance just now, and now they have lost so much in an instant. quick.
Cheng Chuliang put his hand in helplessly, switching his hand between the two pieces of paper. Changsun Ze next to him looked at the jar with a wry smile. He had no choice anyway. After the two of you finished smoking, the remaining one Zhang is mine, so this fate lies with you. I am simply waiting for fate to come to me.
Cheng Chuliang hesitated again and again, and finally took it out. When Cheng Chuliang took it out, this guy was about to squeeze out tears. He was also the one who took the lead. He could also stay like Su Dingfang. At this time, Chang Sunze With a dark look on his face, he had no choice but to stay. Why was his luck so bad? One-third of the people wanted to follow His Highness back, but I didn't expect that we were the one-third.
"There are a lot of things that happened after I went back. This time I brought so many troops out, and some unstable factors appeared in various parts of the Western Region. We have to find a way to deal with them. If I remember correctly, this should be This is the third time. I really don’t know how long these people will be busy.”
Speaking of the letter sent by Xiao Shougui, Li Xiang was very angry. He sent his children to Chang'an and his young men to the army. As a result, you people are not honest. I really don't know what to do. Which method should be used? If Li Xiang wants to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, he must kill all these rebellious thoughts. If anyone still has such thoughts in his heart, he must adopt a bloody policy.
"Your Highness is right. Now I have to comfort myself. There will be things to do when we get to the rear, so I wish the two generals a successful victory."
Changsun Ze is also very generous. Even Li Xiang said so, it is impossible for him to behave like a little girl. We all agreed just now that everyone should admit defeat. These two generals brought five thousand This is not an easy task for people in the desert. If there is no supplies, everyone may be in dire straits.
Su Dingfang and Cheng Chuliang also surrendered. Now all four of them are alive. These two guys stayed and continued to sneak attack on the Arab Empire's army, but they had to provide them with a supply location. After Li Xiang retreated this time, he had to Build a few supply points nearby so that they can have gunpowder after they arrive. If they only rely on cold weapons, they will not dare to stay here to fight guerrillas. It would be a joke with their own lives.
But with the musketeers and artillery, this is a different situation. What can an army of 100,000 do? It's not that the people who were beaten by Li Chengyi's 20,000 people fell on their backs, that is, he didn't have enough people. If he had enough people, he doesn't know how many prisoners he could capture.
Now the two generals each have 5,000 men. Calculated according to this ratio, they can also handle an army of 20,000 or 30,000. There is no problem with at least 30,000 troops. Moreover, after this war, the morale of both sides is not at the same level. level, so if you want to win, there is still a high chance.
After three hours of planning, a total of several locations were marked on the map. These are sparsely populated places. When Li Xiang goes back, he will dig a group of underground warehouses for them, and then arrange for one or two hundred soldiers to be stationed here. Waiting for these remaining troops to provide them with supplies.
Of course, these things will be supplemented later. Anyway, this is the pattern. After you have exhausted your gunpowder on the territory of the Arab Empire, you will immediately go back for supplies. As for camels and war horses, you have to rely on yourself. If all of them are prepared for you, how can you show your ability?
For Li Xiang's request, Su Dingfang and Cheng Chuliang agreed very frankly. Both of them are veterans on the battlefield. They have made countless military achievements in the past. If they can't even survive in the wild, then they won't stay.
These two people saw it very clearly. As long as they said no, Chang Sunze and Li Chengyi next to them would immediately take over. So the two of them happily took over this task and hurried out to pick people. A total of 10,000 people were to stay. They must be the elite among the elite, including the people in Li Chengyi and Chang Sunze's army, who were also among those to be selected.
Of course, this has to be voluntary. If someone is unwilling to take the risk, we will never force them. If you don't want to go, there are plenty of people who will. (End of this chapter)
