Assistant General Nie leaned over to Bai Shan and asked, "Did you separate them and hide them in the hay? But how can you ensure the boxes containing them won't get lost during the battle?"
Bai Shan pretended to be profound and said, "I can't guarantee that. When fighting desperately, I can abandon all my luggage."
Assistant General Nie thought the same; they indeed abandoned all their luggage earlier. If it weren't for Guo Zhao bringing reinforcements, all that luggage would have certainly been lost.
So...
Bai Shan said, "This is just to minimize our losses. If we weren't facing a powerful force like the Tubo army, we could afford to abandon some and keep some. At that time, I can ensure that what we abandon are the items of least value, and what we keep are the most valuable."
Assistant General Nie suddenly realized and was deeply convinced.
