If it were only at the combat level at that time, Zhao Xu's plan could not be said to be ruthless, nor could it be said to be not shrewd in this era. However, when the power struggle was against technology, it showed only humility. As a general of the army, the strategy on the battlefield may be of some use, but as a leader of a force, it would be too stupid to think so. But God seems to no longer give him the chance to understand this, because the main force formed by the "ghost army" and "lancers" under Zhao Fubo had arrived overnight in the direction of Zhao Xu.

In the early morning, the embers of the campfire were still emitting the last wisp of blue smoke. Zhao Xu was sitting at the small dining table in front of his station wagon and eating breakfast. Two maids brought him the prepared meal from the kitchen on the car, one handed it downwards in the car window, and the other was placing it on the table for them. Sitting with Zhao Xu was He Qi. At this moment, he no longer commanded the musketeers, nor even the cavalry. Instead, he seemed to have become a useless person beside Zhao Xu.

At this moment, the remaining cavalry in Zhao Xu's camp were all led by Liu Qian. This made He Qi a little nervous. He was not worried about his position in Zhao Xu. He believed that one day he would have everything when he returned to China. But the problem now is that if he has no authority, how can he inquire about Zhao Fubo in the future?

When 5,000 musket cavalry were transferred to the Mongols, He Qi transferred about 500 people. These were the so-called "backbone" transferred at Zhao Xu's order. In fact, they were all the confidants cultivated by He Qi when he was in the city of Bosaro. While Zhao Xu pulled out muskets from the musket cavalry, He Qi also brought out his subordinates.

Obviously, it would be a mission to die if he handed over 5,000 elite musketeers to the Mongols. He Qi could see this. The reason why Zhao Xu did this was because he was afraid that the Mongol cavalry would not be enough to resist Zhao Fubo's army. The second problem was that if he did not pay the 5,000 cavalry, he was afraid that his plan would be rarely approved by the two Mongolian princes.

"Now he handed over his most elite musketeer, and it seems that he was just a robbery. This Zhao Xu, apart from some big problems, has always had these small abilities!"

For He Qi, he was almost considered a commander-in-law at this moment. The so-called personal guard with only 500 people under his command was probably the one who asked him to accompany him for dinner early this morning. This is probably the matter to be discussed. At this moment, Zhao Xu was holding a pipe in his mouth and was waiting for breakfast, drinking some wine to drive away the cold air in the desert area at night. It was a good choice.

"Please, please be welcome. Longwei, this is the wine from Huangshacheng, and it tastes pretty good, but a pity..."

The pity Zhao Xu said is that if the Mongols were defeated at this moment, he would be afraid that he would be able to drink the wine from Huangsha City for a long time. Because if the Mongols were defeated, then Zhao Xu's plan was to cooperate with Prince Kublai Khan and then retreat to the south of the desert with him. I believe that if the Mongols were defeated, Prince Kublai Khan would definitely not stay here. He must rush back to seize the position of "King of Kings" in Mongolia, which is an opportunity for Zhao Xu.

When Prince Kublai Khan came, he had already handed over his 20,000 cavalry to Generals Mengge and Sain Khanba to fight. At this time, there were probably not many left. So as long as he protected the muskets enough, he might be able to play a strong enough role in his battle to seize the throne.

As for the subsequent development, Zhao Xu didn't know, and it was impossible to understand those things. But there were always opportunities, and I thought I could have created many short guns and muskets. At this time, in the nest of the wood-piercing people, Shi Shi was doing this. That is, cast enough copper tubes and enough flintlock machines.

With these two things, it is not difficult to assemble on the road in the future and form a 10,000 musket cavalry. With the musket cavalry coming to the Mongolian desert, it is not difficult to help Prince Kublai Khan seize the Khan throne. With his help, Prince Kublai Khan got the Khan throne, so naturally the Song Dynasty will become his own pocket in the future. However, this fact is too far away, and it is too early to talk about it now.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu was willing to hand over his musketeers in this battle before him. After all, the long-term interests are much greater than those in front of him.

"Master Xu, you... don't have to be too sad. We may not be defeated in this battle. If we win, the wine in Huangsha City will still be as much as possible."

After hearing He Qi's words, Zhao Xu shook his head.
