The topic of guessing Lao Luo's origin is still over after all, even if the three of them racked their brains and counted the generals surnamed Luo since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, including Luo Yi, Luo Shixin and others, after all, they were chasing after the wind and shadows, and they couldn't figure out anything.

"It's useless to target Luo Kaixian himself, then Luo has returned from the West, and his family is naturally impossible to be in the East, even if he figures it out, what can he do? You and I still need to think about how to face this centaur! Mahmudhan spoke well, but he didn't know much about the history of the Orient as Yusuf, so after stopping this pointless discussion, he turned the conversation to something specific.

In fact, the most important thing for the three of them to discuss when they sit together is this, don't look at the scattered camp, but there is still no clue about how the three families will divide labor and cooperate. It can be said that these three people are all outstanding in their respective clans, but it is precisely because of this that everyone thinks that they are the most qualified commanders, but it is difficult to reach a consensus.

The three monks had no water to eat because they passed the buck to each other, but these were three monks fighting for the abbot, but they had a stake.

"To deal with this centaur, I don't know which side to use as the main force?" Li Deming, who is much more sensitive to the military than politics, asked a key question as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Tuoba has the most manpower, of course your people are the main force!" Mahmoud was hoping that someone would be able to rush to the front, to put it bluntly, he would choose a substitute for the dead, and the first to die would not be his subordinates anyway.

Next to Yusuf. Kadir didn't speak, it didn't mean much to him when he wasn't the main force, not to mention that he only brought more than 20,000 people, and he couldn't take advantage.

"Since my men are the main force, then I need the two of them to cooperate in the battle and obey orders." Li Deming is the one who has been in charge, and for him, who has experienced many battles, he knows very well what it means to rush to the front, and he also knows very well what the consequences will be if there are two allies who are difficult to understand.

His words are actually very clear, I want my people to be full in front, yes, but it must be me who commands.

"No, no, Brother Tuoba didn't understand what I meant, and letting your people be the main force is not for them to rush to the front......" Mahmoud didn't care about Li Deming's direct power, but slowly told his battlefield concept, "Naluo Kaixian's men and horses are very good at fighting, and we don't know their details, so this time we don't send cavalry to charge, but learn from them and trap them with loose fortresses...... Your men are the main force of the frontal defense......"

“…… Defend? Li Deming was a little stunned, the grassland tribe rarely has the concept of defense, you can ride a horse, take a knife, chop and shoot arrows, if you can't beat it, you can run, who plays defense?

"Yes, it just so happens that Brother Tuoba you have more than 10,000 heavy armor soldiers, these people are perfect for defending the camp, and they are arranged in the open area outside the valley exit to the south, which is the only way to go east, and tens of thousands of people can't bypass it no matter how they go, as long as they can withstand it, Yusuf's men and I can attack from both sides...... Ha...... The idea of using the tactics they used in Bishkek against them is wonderful! Mahmoud couldn't help but laugh quite smugly when he said this.

"It's just ......" Li Deming didn't react for a while, and spit out two words with some hesitation. The other party's suggestion is really good, but ...... He didn't know why he always felt something was wrong.

"Brother Mamud, Narokai returned from the west first, and I am afraid that there is no shortage of siege weapons in his hands...... For example, the Greek fire ...... used by the Arabs "Yusuf. Kadir had studied in the mosques of Babylon, had seen many things that were unique to that land, and had a lot of despise Mahmud, a highlander slave-turned-fellow, and certainly did not want the other party to control the rhythm of the conversation between the three men.

"Brother Yusuf, you think too much......" Mahmoud said to Yusuf. Qadir didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but since he dared to say this tactic and implement it, of course, he had already considered it in detail, and after dealing with it casually, he said without any hesitation, "Let's not talk about how difficult it is to prepare Greek fire, the Arabs guard that thing very closely, even if the power of the caliphate is divided among several nobles, but no one dares to touch that thing, and it is ......"

"And how?" The first time he heard that there was such a weapon that both parties were concerned about, Li Deming asked impatiently.

"Moreover, what does it mean that Rakai did not attack the city in Herat and Bishkek?" Mahmoud sold a pass.

"He doesn't have siege weapons!" After experiencing many battles, Li Deming immediately reacted.

"Ha, Brother Tuoba has personally experienced the war, and you will understand it as soon as you say it! The city of Herat was now stocked with a large quantity of grain and a large number of merchants, whose wealth could have filled at least five hundred tents of this size! If that Luo Kai had attacked the city first and captured Herat, you and I would not have been able to sit in a tent. Mahmoud was so proud of his reasoning that he even gestured in interest. It's just that he doesn't know that Ashina Duval, the city lord of Herat, has hidden a lot of facts for the sake of his own face, and this matter may not be harmful in ordinary times, but it may kill him at a critical time.

"I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to provoke you, Emir?!" After learning more information, Li Deming has some confidence in his heart, and there is nothing wrong with opening his mouth to praise people, although this is not his forte.

His words were very useful to Mahmoud, and his face was completely devoid of the embarrassed look he had in front of the boy in front of this tent, "Hmph, if he dares to enter and occupy my city of Herat, it will be his place of death, and I will mobilize 300,000 troops to surround and kill him, even if he and his men can fight again, what can they do?" ”

Mahmoud's words seem arrogant, but they are also true, of course, this force cannot be all elite soldiers, it must include some warriors recruited by tribes. This arrogance was deliberately made by him, and the purpose was very simple - to intimidate allies, whether they were Yusuf. Kadir is still Li Deming.

It is an ironclad fact that the prairie always relies on strength to speak.

At least in the face of this fact, Yusuf. Kadir chose to agree. "What Brother Mahmoud said makes sense, it's just that this Luo Kaixian thinks he's smart, but he can't imagine that you and I are here to surround him!"

"No, no, Yusuf you're wrong!" Mahmoud did not get carried away, but retorted very solemnly to Yusuf. Kadir said, "This Luo Kaixian is a really smart man, he knows that in the middle of the river, in the Amu Darya River or even in the Magyar Sea, he can't get rid of my people, that's why he will go north and east, in order to return to the east, this man can be said to care about nothing else, this is a strong-willed warrior!" I tried to send someone to woo him, and guess what he said? ”

"Accept? No, he certainly didn't accept it, otherwise he would have been with your Ghaznavids a long time ago...... He was a warrior, a warrior's practice...... It must be a blunt refusal, right? "Yusuf. Kadir couldn't think of any suitable way to reject Mahmud, so he was in the other side's position, and perhaps it would be good to stay within the Turks.

"This Luo Kaixian is not a simple warrior, he must have seen the big scene, I sent my deputy head of the inner court guard, Mushara to recruit him, he directly proposed a piece of land with autonomy......" When he said this, Mahmoud's face had no expression, he actually knew that he might have missed an opportunity to recruit Luo Kaixian, but even if such a person was recruited, could he really use it for himself?

The two people who listened to the "......" were directly speechless, because they didn't know how to choose.

"I guess that Rakai was just trying to keep my messenger at bay, for the army that had attacked me outside Herat shortly after that call...... That's why I said that this Luo Kaixian is a really smart person, and he knows how to make trade-offs...... "Mahmoud paused, looked at the expressions of the other two, and then continued, "As an ally, I want to remind you, you two must not underestimate this person, it is very common for good bear hunters to be eaten by bears!" ”

"Your Excellency Emir, don't worry, even if it's to protect my men, I'll be cautious." After stopping a lot of news, Li Deming let go of the idea of competing for the leader, and in the face of unfamiliar opponents, listening to other people's opinions is the most important thing, so this sentence is actually equivalent to the recognition of Mahmoud.

Mahmoud, of course, understood the implication of the words, and immediately said: "Brother Tuoba is happy! Rest assured, this battle may not be so easy, but it will not be easy to lose a large number of men. ”

"Your Excellency the Emir, please!" Li Deming made concessions, so he naturally had to ask about the specific battle strategy.

Yusuf who didn't speak on the side. Kadir understands that he can't change anything, the combat power at hand is not as good as the party member Li Deming can't have an advantage, and he doesn't know the situation as much as Mahmud, and it is impossible to be in a subordinate position.

Looking into the eyes of the other two, Mahmoud said in a deep voice: "Just like I asked to mobilize most of the troops before, we will not take the initiative to attack that Luo Kaixian this time, there is only one purpose - to block the way!" ”

"...... roadblock?" Li Deming was a little puzzled.

"That's right, we rely on the scattered camps to block this passage, 100,000 troops are enough to defend in turns, and there is no need to pay too many soldiers' lives, he Luo Kaixian did not carry siege weapons, so he could only look at the fence of the camp and sigh!" After years of war, Mahmoud's calculations are not exquisite.

"Good strategy!" Li Deming applauded, although such a battle strategy may be more costly, but it will undoubtedly reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

"Narakhai first came all the way from the Magyar Sea, bringing tens of thousands of men, and although they bought some food and meat along the way, they certainly could not meet all the supplies, only we could stop them for a month or two, and we didn't even need to go out to fight them, I am afraid that they would have to kill horses to feed their stomachs...... Haha...... "Speaking of pride, Mahmoud's beard is a little upturned.

"Won't they retreat?" Seeing Mahmoud's pride, Yusuf couldn't help but pour cold water.

"Retreat? Where to retreat? Mahmoud didn't care about Yusuf's words at all, and even felt that his question was just right, "Brother Yusuf, won't those of your Qarluq Ali family suffer such a big loss in Bishkek, won't they arrange revenge in the rear?" ”

"......" in one sentence put Yusuf. Kadir asked the dumb man.

The three scheming clan leaders have reached a consensus, but can their plan really work out?
