"Chief, the champion in Yunzhou City has replied." On the march, his subordinates sent a letter to Tu Li.
Tu Li opened the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay! The Champion of the Tang Dynasty is a kind man!"
"Clan leader, why did you choose to join the champion? You must know that when he was in Anle City in Youzhou, our clan fought two wars with Anle City and lost our troops. He went deep into the grassland and killed so many of us. The son of the clan could not help but The young master resents him. It's obviously not a good thing to take refuge in him..." The cronies around him asked in confusion.
Another person next to him said disdainfully: "What do you know? The clan leader is the wisest. The real champion of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated long ago. Yunzhou is a fake, he just looks like him. With a fake champion, , we are not afraid of him. If he takes refuge with Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, he will definitely not end well. I heard that Li Jing is very good at fighting."
Tu Li knew in his heart that this Xiao Rui was not a fake, but he did not expose it. Instead, he followed the person's words and said, "Yes, that's exactly what it is. And there is no good opportunity now."
"Obviously it's not possible to seek refuge with Li Jing. I can do it myself, but Jie Li will never let me come out with 60,000 men. So I can only find an excuse to leave Dingxiang. There is no other reason at the moment. Only Yunzhou needs people. To resist."
"Originally, if the real champion was in Yunzhou, I would not have dared to come and fight him. But this is a fake, and we have already contacted Tang Army Commander Li Jing. Yunzhou will not treat us as enemies. .”
"As long as we gain the trust of Yunzhou Li Ji, we will just pretend to be in a stalemate but not start a war. When Dingxiang has the results and our family is intact, we will have achieved our goal. By then, whether we are with Datang , or return to the grassland, it’s up to us.”
The subordinates repeatedly praised the patriarch for his cleverness.
"Clan leader, what did the champion say in the letter? Why do you say he is a kind man?"
Tuli smiled and said: "The Champion Marquis heard that we were going to surrender, and he welcomed us very much. He even helped us think about it, and surrendered directly. Once Jieli saw it, he would probably attract the hatred of all the Turkic tribes. , then our wives, children, and children left at home will suffer."
"So he arranged for us to accompany him in a play for Xie Li. He had us stationed outside Yunzhou City to act as if we were resisting Yunzhou's invasion, and then arranged for us to have a few fake fights with the soldiers from Yunzhou City, while pretending to suffer heavy losses. With his appearance, he deceived Jieli."
"This will not only protect our son, but also allow Xie Li to see that we blocked the champion. Maybe we can get some rewards and military exploits."
After hearing this, everyone could not help but praise: "So, the Champion of the Tang Dynasty is indeed a kind person."
"That's right, I remembered that during the Battle of Anle City, when I was captured as a prisoner to build a ditch, I was not treated as a slave. Instead, I was given good food and drink, and not even whipped or insulted. I could tell at that time They are kind people.”
"You are talking about the real champion, but this one is a fake. That letter should be written by Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou in the Tang Dynasty."
"It doesn't matter who wrote it, as long as he doesn't let us die, he is a kind person."
Tu Li nodded and said, "Yes, if Jie Li hadn't captured Prince Tang's son this time, why would we have gone out to fight and sacrifice our lives?"
…
In Yunzhou City, Xiao Rui and Li Ji were reviewing an army of 30,000 people.
"Are you ready? Thirty thousand versus sixty thousand? Are you confident?"
The lieutenants of the Bingzhou Army looked at me, and I looked at you, and they shouted a slogan: "The Tang Dynasty will last forever!"
Xiao Rui stepped forward and patted one of them on the shoulder with a smile, "Don't look like you are ready to die. I have already made arrangements. There are spies in the other side's army and they will let everyone off."
Release water? ? ?
"Hou, Lord Hou...what is releasing water?" The lieutenants were puzzled.
Xiao Rui chuckled, "It means that they won't use their full strength, they will just shout slogans, and they won't dare to actually fight you."
"Or, once you fight, they will lie on the ground and pretend to be dead."
ah?
this……
No one believed it.
"What's going on? If so, do they still dare to come to Yunzhou to defend us?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis, if the other party pretends to be dead, what will we do? Should we fight?"
Li Ji stood up and said loudly: "Fight! Of course we must fight! And we must fight hard. They are afraid of the reputation of the Marquis and dare not take action. We will not let go of this great opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Everyone, Thirty thousand versus sixty thousand, if we can win a big victory... not to mention being remembered in history, it will be enough to brag about for the rest of my life."
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng..." the lieutenants shouted.
The soldiers leading their respective groups behind did not know what was going on, so they chanted together.
Xiao Rui and Li Ji looked at each other and said, "Let's go. It's not convenient for me to show up for the dirty work this time, so I'll leave it to you to command. I'll take the Xuan Jia Army out for hunting."
"Hunting? Didn't you say you would raid the formation for us?" Li Ji whispered.
"Of course it's a raid. Don't worry, if the situation is not right, we will attack immediately."
…
Yes, you are plotting against others, and maybe others are plotting against you. If the trick goes wrong this time and Tuli's side also fakes it, Datang will be the one who suffers, so Xiao Rui wants to lead the Xuanjia Army to hide in the dark.
Why don't you bring the Xuanjia Army to fight out too? Wouldn't it be better to kill more?
This is also the bad thing about Xiao Rui'er. Let’s not talk about it for now.
In Dingxiang City, Jie Li and Zhao Deyan were plotting something late at night.
"Military advisor, you said Tu Li won't be seen by Xiao Rui this time, right? The last time you beat him, he couldn't get out of bed for three days. Is that true enough? If you break one of his legs, it should be enough. But if the leg is broken, I'm afraid I won't be able to lead the troops." Jie Li asked worriedly.
Zhao Deyan stroked his beard and said confidently: "No. This plan came from reading the history books of the Three Kingdoms and learned from the Battle of Chibi. Although there are only a few words in the historical records, the sages' plans are flawless. It is related to the survival of the Turks, except for the Turks. No one knows about Li, you, and me. Everything Tuli gave is true, and they will not doubt it."
Jie Li nodded, "I hope so. Neither Li Jing nor Xiao Rui are easy to fool."
Zhao Deyan smiled and said: "Don't worry. Even if they don't trust Tuli, as long as Tuli can entangle Xiao Rui in this way, it means that we used 60,000 troops to block Yunzhou's attack. Haha, this Then we will have enough troops and time to eat up Li Jing's 80,000 main force in the middle."
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. If Zhao Deyan knew that Xiao Rui had written a story book with the background of the Three Kingdoms, I wonder what his expression would be? Will Jie Li, who fully trusts him, cry to death?
And Tu Li, who is about to see Xiao Rui... feels a little sympathetic to him.
