Mansour was noncommittal after listening to the words of the Minister of Agriculture.
At this time, the Minister of Commerce and Trade stood up and saluted and said: "Sir, sir, I think we cannot reinforce now, but we must retreat overnight and withdraw to Behdashir Castle."
Mansour frowned: "Why?"
The Minister of Commerce and Trade said: "Sir, sir, now the Western Qin Army has defeated Said's cavalry.
The infantry cannot withstand the impact of the cavalry for long.
Maybe our reinforcements have not arrived yet, and they have been defeated by the Western Qin Army."
We have succeeded in the battle for the Tah Highlands.
If we send troops there now, it will just be a waste of energy.
Moreover, it is late at night.
Who can guarantee that the reinforcements will not fall into the trap of the Western Qin Army in Fort Zanji when they arrive?
It's only thirty miles away from Tahe Highlands.
That's all, if the Western Qin Army learns that we have sent reinforcements, they will definitely send reinforcements.
Both sides will engage in endless refueling tactics, and a large-scale decisive battle will inevitably take place in the Tahe Highlands.
In the end, even if we want to escape, we will not be able to escape you.
Not already Have you decided to take advantage of the fact that their logistical supply lines have been cut off to bring them down?
If they start a decisive battle with the Western Qin Army now, wouldn't General Ziad's trip to sneak attack Zaheidan be in vain, and it may also make them trapped in Zaheidan?
Dan City was completely wiped out."
"Therefore, I think that if you do not want to engage in a decisive battle with the Western Qin Army at this time, it is best to immediately bear the pain and order the army to retreat overnight.
As for the defeated Sayyid Army, let them hold back the Western Qin Army and let the Western Qin Army retreat.
The Qin people stay in Zanji Fort for a few more days.
When their food and arrows are almost exhausted, it will be time for our army to take the initiative to attack."
Mansour seemed a little moved by what he said, but he was still a little worried.
He looked at Boshilin and asked: "Boshilin, what do you think?"
Bingbo Xilin frowned at this time, "The leader of the believers, Ziyad's flying eagle sent news that he fought with Zhao Hu, the general of the Western Qin Army in Bad Town, and was defeated by Zhao Hu.
Now he only has He has more than five thousand people.
Without your order, he will take these brothers to defend Zahedan. , the food there is enough to defend for the first half of the year.
After the retreat is cut off and no logistical supplies are available, there will definitely be disagreements within the Western Qin Army.
Ordinary soldiers will definitely be panicked, and their combat effectiveness will drop a lot.
Black Dan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The king of Western Qin knew he was short.
He could not recapture Zahedan and restore the smooth flow of the supply line within time, so he had to lead his army to rush to a decisive battle with the main force of our army.
As long as they defeated our army, they could not only seize a large amount of food, but also obtain a large number of weapons, crossbows and Arrows, they can even forcibly collect arrows in occupied areas If we start a decisive battle with them now, we will be playing into the hands of the King of Western Qin.
I suggest that you immediately order the entire army to retreat to Behdashir Castle overnight.
To be on the safe side, a cavalry force should be left behind to contain them.
The Western Qin army prevents them from pursuing the main force of our army."
Mansour was silent for a long time and asked unwillingly: "Is there really no hope of victory if my army confronts the army of the King of Western Qin head-on?
We still have 90,000 troops, of which 40,000 are the Guards.
The King of Western Qin's regular army is only 30,000.
We also have 20,000 Mutwal, 10,000 mercenaries, and 20,000 tribal troops.
Is there really no hope of defeating the King of Western Qin's army from the front?
We need a victory to win.
Everyone regains their confidence."
Bingbo Xilin sighed: "Sir, although I don't want to admit it, I must say that if we confront the Western Qin Army head-on, the probability of our victory will not exceed 30%.
They have a standing army."
Thirty thousand, and there are 50,000 servants.

The gap in strength between the two sides is not obvious.
The combat effectiveness of their standing army is much stronger than that of our Guards.
This is a fact, but the combat effectiveness of our other armies is not as good as that of their servants.
They’re evenly matched, so it’s hard to win, but” When Mansour heard this, he seemed to have a chance to make a comeback, and immediately asked: "What?"
Bingbo Xilin said: "But we can find a way to prevent their servant army from exerting its due combat effectiveness.
In this way, our probability of winning can be reduced to half, or we can find a way to cause them to have internal problems, then we will win.
The probability will be more than half” Mansour was shocked and immediately said: "What can you do?"
Bingbo Xilin said: "Find a person with weight to pretend to surrender to the King of Western Qin alone or with an army, enter the King of Western Qin's army, and find a way to cause problems within them.
You can start from three aspects: First, To drive a wedge between the King of Western Qin and those who had surrendered to the King of Western Qin The traitors of the servant army; secondly, find a way to burn the food, grass and ordnance supplies of the King of Western Qin's army; thirdly, when we fight the decisive battle with the King of Western Qin, this person must attack the King of Western Qin's army.
Only in this way, Only then can we be fully confident in defeating the King of Western Qin."
Mansour's eyes lit up after hearing this.
This method was something he had never thought of.
The ministers and generals of the food country present had never heard of this method, but it sounded very feasible, and he was informed.
The method Lin described opened a new door in their thinking.
Mansour slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay, this method is very good, very good, and Bo Xilin, how did you come up with this method?"
Bingbo Xilin said: "Over the years, I have been studying the military and culture of the Eastern Tang people, and have read many Eastern books.
In fact, this method is not uncommon in the East.
Many Eastern sages have used it.
I call it an undercover plan. , if you want to implement this undercover plan, you must have an extremely important prerequisite, that is, how to gain the trust of the King of Western Qin.
We all know that Easterners are very cunning, and the person sent must have someone in our Dashi Country. distinguished Identity can attract the attention of the King of Western Qin and make him think that this person's surrender will play a non-negligible role in his conquest of our Dashi Kingdom.
The person who surrenders to the King of Western Qin must have a very sufficient reason, and let him have your heart.
He must be resentful and want everyone to see that surrendering to the King of Western Qin is a last resort.
He must make everything appear 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 this plan, and asked: "Then who can take on this important task?"
Vizier Khalid stood up and saluted Manhard and said: "Sir, the leader of the believers, the person who takes on this important task must be wise, familiar with the customs and culture of the Tang people, must have strong adaptability, and must Can endure humiliation, and this person also It must be someone you dislike very much.
I think Bingbo Xilin is the best candidate to implement this plan.
He meets all the above conditions.
The key is that he is the maker of this plan.
He knows every detail and knows what should be done.
How to do your best” Mansour was silent for a long time after listening to Khalid's words before he looked up at Boshilin, frowned, and said: "I really don't know what to do against the King of Western Qin, and Boshilin must stay by my side.
I want to always ask for his opinion on military affairs, so I’d better appoint another candidate.”
Khalid said: "But among all the ministers and generals, only Bingbo Xilin meets these conditions, and the others cannot.
If we forcefully send undercover agents, it is likely that we will not achieve the purpose 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: "Penpo Xilin is the most suitable candidate to be the leader of the believers, and none of the others are qualified."
It’s not that Mansour didn’t want to send Bingbo Xilin as an undercover agent, he just didn’t want to be saddled with Bingbo Xilin’s bad relationship and didn’t like Bingbo Xilin’s reputation.
If Bingbo Xilin’s undercover plan didn’t succeed, he would still He must bear the reputation of avenging private revenge and deliberately killing Bo Xilin.
But now so many ministers agreed that only Bingbo Xilin was the most suitable, he really didn't know what to do.
Boshilin had been guarding against Mansour plotting against him for so many years.
He knew Mansour even better than himself.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood Mansour's concerns.
He took the initiative to stand up and salute and said: " Commander of the believers, I also think that I am the best executor of this plan.
Today I take the initiative to stand up and ask for the implementation of this plan.
It is my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Although the words were cryptic, how could Mansour not understand?
He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and said: "Okay, since you asked and insisted, I agree to let you go undercover at the King of Western Qin's place. , how do you need me to cooperate with you?"

"The leader of the believers can do this later."
Bo Xilin explained his plan in detail.
After discussing this matter, Bo Xilin said to Mansour: "Sir of the believers, I think Ziad's role in Zahedan City is no longer great, because he has very few cavalry left and has lost his ability to attack. , the Western Qin Army only needs to send an army to besiege Zahedan City, and their supply line can bypass Zahedan City and directly lead to the army of the King of Western Qin.
If this is the case, Ziyad, Daoud and others They will be trapped and die in Zahedan City and will never be able to come back.
We currently lack combat experience, especially generals with rich combat experience against the Western Qin Army.
It is the best choice for them to come back safely and alive.
It is recommended that the chief of the believers immediately send an order by flying eagle, asking them to abandon the city of Zahedan before being besieged, and return to Behdashir Castle through the Luti Desert again, and meet you there."
Mansour originally wanted to refuse the request and suggestion of annexing Boxilin.
He thought that Ziyad and Daoud's presence in Zahedan City was somewhat useful, and could at least contain some of the Western Qin's troops, but he really couldn't find any.
For other reasons, he was even embarrassed to refuse and join Bo Xilin, because this guy didn't know whether he could succeed.
If he didn't succeed, he would probably be killed by the King of Western Qin.
For the request of a person with such an important mission, he Can't say no.
"Okay, then use the flying eagle to send orders to Ziad and Daoud, asking them to abandon the city of Zahedan and lead the army back to Behdashir Castle along the original route":
