Elsa bowed and said to Su Chen: "Please, Commander-in-Chief, forgive me for being so ignorant."
"It's just that if I can't help Hashim regain the throne of the Canni Kingdom, I really can't follow the commander to the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind."
Su Chen shook his head and sighed: "You will probably harm Hashem."
Elsa smiled helplessly: "If you don't give it a try, I'm afraid I and Hashim will be unhappy for the rest of their lives. I don't want to leave the country of Canni with regrets."
Before Su Chen could open his mouth again, Elsa continued: "The commander-in-chief doesn't need to say anything more. The commander-in-chief has helped me and Hashim enough. We, my siblings, will be grateful for these kindnesses for the rest of our lives!"
"If the commander has no other instructions, I will go back first."
After saying that, Elsa left on her own.
Su Chen sat there and sighed without saying anything. There was no way he could persuade Elsa about this matter!
He looked at the letter he had just written to Li Chengqian, shook his head, and threw it into the wastebasket.
"Get in!"
Su Chen called out to the door.
Xue Rengui came in with a playful smile: "Commander, what did you do to Elsa?"
"I met her at the door with red eyes..."
Su Chen glared at him: "What do you mean I did something to her? She is worried about Hashim."
"What are you doing sneaking around at the door?"
Xue Rengui handed the form in his hand to Su Chen: "Commander, don't you want Commander Cheng to take a detailed inventory of our supplies?"
"Well, Commander Cheng asked me to send you the specific accounts."
Su Chen took a few pieces of paper and looked at them carefully, frowning, and thought carefully for a while.
"Go and call Lapu Pasu, Cheng Wuting and Sun Renshi!"
Xue Rengui took the order and went down, and soon several people came to the lobby.
"Commander, what are your orders?"
Su Chen raised the form that Xue Rengui had just sent in his hand and said:
"I just took a look and found that the ammunition we carry is somewhat insufficient."
Cheng Wuting said: "Commander, our original plan was to meet the Lachem people near Lake Najaf. We were prepared for that purpose, but now the purpose has changed."
"General Zheng and Sun Renshi are about to come to ask the commander-in-chief if they want to activate a backup plan and ask the Persians to help transport us some ammunition?"
Su Chen shook his head: "Just activate the second plan!"
When Master Sun Ren and Cheng Wuting heard what Su Chen said, they frowned and said, "Commander, we only have a few hundred people left in Basra."
"All the Persians have left. If the cannibal suddenly pays Basra's attention, it will be troublesome."
"Now there are many important nobles meeting with His Highness the Crown Prince in Basra. Who knows if they will suddenly attack."
Su Chen smiled and said: "I guess the big food nobles don't have the guts!"
"Besides, even if those big food nobles become thief, it should be no problem for His Highness to retreat to the fleet and return to the sea."
Sun Renshi and Cheng Wuting frowned. The second plan was discussed by the army when they left Basra:
If the large army encounters the main force of the Ottomans, let the Persian army remaining in Basra go north to contain part of the Ottoman army from the side to make up for the shortcomings of the insufficient number of the large army.
Rappasu's Persian army only had 3,000 elite troops operating with the main army, and there were another 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers near Basra to help defend Basra.
But I never expected that there would be food aristocrats from Mecca and Medina going to Basra.
