"Sir, we have searched all the corpses and found China."
"It's very possible that they have already broken out with their troops."
"We captured a few prisoners alive. According to them, China had already gone out among the first group of people who broke out."
Hu Dugu came forward and said to Zhang Bao.
"In your opinion, where will this Kled tribe flee to?"
"How much more can they add to their current strength?"
"China, do they have any other troops besides the base camp?"
Zhang Bao asked Hu Dugu.
"If they want to escape, there are still many directions. There are some foothills to the north. I speculate that the remaining Kled troops may have retreated to those places."
"As for the strength of the troops, judging from their breakout just now, the current number does not exceed 50,000 troops at most."
"If we have fought until now, it is estimated that it would be difficult for their own troops to make contact before."
Hu Dugu thought for a while and said.
"What about food and grass?"
"In your opinion, after China and the others escape, is there any place where they can get more food and grass?"
"Their previous base camp has been completely occupied by us. I think there is still a lot of food and grass left inside. They broke out without any food and grass to support them."
Zhang Bao asked Hu Dugu.
"It's hard!"
"The same situation we face here will also happen to them."
"Although their number is far less than ours, these more than 50,000 troops are not a small number."
"It's easy to say about the horses, but the people under Chi Na are in trouble. However, there are some scattered tribes near the foothills. I believe Chi Na and the others will definitely plunder them and get some supplements."
Hu Dugu said to Zhang Bao.
"In that case, I understand."
"Come here, please immediately ask all the generals to come to my big tent to discuss matters. Pass the order and everyone will rest on the spot immediately and bury the pot for cooking."
Zhang Bao shouted outside.
"Sir, in my opinion, what we have to do now is to take advantage of the victory and pursue it."
"Our plight is also the plight of the Kled tribe."
"And after this battle, we have now severely dampened the fighting spirit of the Kled tribe. Not to mention, we can still keep track of them."
"If we withdraw our troops at this point, it will be difficult for us to deal with them again after the Kled troops have recuperated."
"At this time, we must bite them tightly to death."
Hu Dugu said to Zhang Bao.
"Yes, I understand this, but it is indeed a difficult thing for us to handle."
Zhang Bao also let out a long sigh.
Not a moment.
All the dozen generals on Zhang Bao's side walked in.
"How is the food and grass situation now?"
Zhang Bao asked several people.
"Sir, I just took stock. The food and grass we have transported so far can sustain us for about ten days compared to the food and grass in the Kled camp."
"According to the soldiers and horses transporting grain, it will take at least half a month to transport the remaining grain and grass."
"But with our current strength, if we want to completely retreat, it will take at least more than a month. Calculating this, we are simply unsustainable."
"Even if our current troops want to withdraw to Daxia at this time, I'm afraid there will be many days of food shortages along the way."
"In this case, there is still no problem at all. If there is rain or other problems on the road, other changes are likely to occur."
A general said to Zhang Bao.
"Sir, should we retreat some distance now? In this case, there may be a supply of food and grass."
"It can temporarily alleviate the current situation."
Another general said to Zhang Bao.
"I already have an idea about this matter."
"General Liu, go and gather all of our current troops who are in good physical strength and who are not injured."
"According to this standard, try to select 100,000 horses."
Zhang Bao said to one of them.
"Yes, sir!"
"But it seems that it may be a bit difficult to handle at the moment, so we can only make arrangements as much as possible."
"In addition, as for horses, we also need to equip 100,000 horses?"
"We have also lost a lot of horses in these battles."
The general asked Zhang Bao.
"No, as many horses as possible!"
"It's better to have two horses per man."
Zhang Bao thought for a while and said.
According to the current situation, it is basically necessary to gather most of the horses.
As for Zhang Bao and his men, if they want to chase the men of the Klie tribe, they must outlast them in terms of foot strength.
There are many horses here, but they are not as good as those of the barbarians on the grassland.
If each person brings two horses, they can not only provide a partial replacement of foot power, but also ensure a continuous pursuit state.
In addition, if there is really no food and grass.
During this process.
You can also kill horses and eat their meat, which can be regarded as a kind of food reserve.
At this time, the ship was already on the verge of sinking.
After listening to Zhang Bao's words, they also understood what Zhang Bao meant. They had to say that although doing this would consume a lot of money, it would really be done.
That would be done once and for all.
At the very least, the stability of the grassland can be guaranteed for fifty years!
With these fifty years, whatever Daxia lost during this period can be made up for.
But again, the risks in this matter are huge.
Let’s not talk about whether they can succeed if they gather so many horses to pursue them in depth.
Even if they succeed, it will be very troublesome for them to get out of the grassland later.
And the same is true for the soldiers and horses they have now.
In this process, we faced a lot of resistance, but we were also desperate.
"I won't say anything unnecessary. I also know that everyone is making decisions and trade-offs in their hearts."
"But at this time, everyone must listen to me!"
"I am informing you, not discussing with you!"
Zhang Bao said coldly.
"yes!"
Everyone looked stern when they heard Zhang Bao's words.
They knew that the reason why Zhang Bao said this was not only because of Zhang Bao's status, but also because, if he failed, Zhang Bao would bear the responsibility alone.
But if this thing is really done.
For the whole of Daxia.
Zhang Bao defeated Cao Kang, unified the territory of Daxia, and sent troops to the grassland to destroy the Kelie tribe. These two unparalleled achievements, I am afraid that the emperor's position is also well-deserved and expected by the public!
