A smile appeared on Ye Yunfei's face and he said happily: "With my brother's help, this trip will definitely be smoother. My original plan was to persuade all the villages north of Xinye County to surrender. With my brother's help, we can persuade all the villages north of Xinye County to surrender." After the various villages in the north, we will then quietly run to the rear of Xinye County to persuade the other villages to surrender, and strive to achieve great success."
Ye Yunfei was extremely excited when he thought of the credit.
This is opportunity.
It's also the only chance.
Unlike the other civil and military generals under Zhao Shan, he was very capable in both civil and military matters. He is just a bandit and only understands the bandit situation in Nanyang. It is precisely because of this that only by persuading the bandits to surrender in Nanyang can one achieve meritorious service.
He Yuanshan also became excited and said quickly: "I will definitely go all out to help Brother Ye persuade more people to surrender. All of this depends on Brother Ye's support. From now on, Brother Ye is my biological brother."
"Brother, please accept my respect."
He Yuanshan stood up neatly and bowed to Ye Yunfei.
"You and I, brothers, what are you talking about?"
Ye Yunfei held He Yuanshan's hand and said excitedly, "We are all bandits with ordinary identities. Therefore, we must use this opportunity to make a comeback."
"Yes, meritorious service!"
He Yuanshan nodded hurriedly.
He wants to make meritorious deeds.
As long as you perform meritorious service, you can transform from a bandit to a member of the court, completely erasing your past identity.
He wants to improve so much.
Both of them had their own goals and the same goal. After finalizing the strategy, He Yuanshan summoned the people in the village to announce their submission to the imperial court. Not only that, He Yuanshan directly cut off the Chu King's informant left in the village.
Gufengzhai announced its submission to the imperial court. Ye Yunfei asked someone to write a letter of surrender to Gufengzhai and asked him to go back to report it. At the same time, he also said that he and He Yuanshan would continue to go south to persuade them to surrender.
When Ye Yunfei's news reached Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan and Wei Fengqing had already left Luyang County and entered Ye County.
Zhao Shan was happy when he got the news from Ye Yunfei.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yunfei was a lucky general.
With Ye Yunfei's continuous persuasion to surrender, the bandits everywhere will surrender, which will be of great help to the offensive and momentum of Zhao Shan's army.
Zhao Shan went all the way south, and after arriving at Gufeng Village, he directly reorganized the army in Gufeng Village. Immediately afterwards, he went south to Ye County. When Zhao Shan arrived in Ye County, the defense of Ye County was even worse.
The county magistrate fled and the city was abandoned.
In the entire Ye County, not a single soldier came to resist.
Zhao Shan effortlessly captured Ye County, re-appointed the county magistrate, and took control of the county seat before continuing south.
Zhao Shan went all the way south, and the villagers in various places were persuaded by Ye Yunfei to surrender. As a result, wherever Zhao Shan went, he always obeyed and was invincible. When Zhao Shan arrived in Wan County from the south, not far from Xinye County, news from various places also reached Xinye County and was sent to the temporary palace of King Chu.
In the palace, Zhao Rui was playing bird-catching game with the singing girl who followed him.
Although the bird is small, it has all the internal organs.
After the singer played with it carefully and deeply, she naturally became eager to fight. At the end, she was exhausted and died after spitting.
Zhao Rui entered the sage time, no longer playing small games with the singer, and simply enjoying the singer's dance.
While Zhao Rui was enjoying the singing and dancing, the sound of hurried footsteps came. Su Wei broke in and said urgently: "King Chu, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."
Zhao Rui snorted and scolded: "What happened in such a panic? Su Wei, you are the chief secretary of the Chu Palace after all. In the future, when this king conquers the world, you will be an important minister in the court. Even if Lu Shanzhai is gone, even if Gu Gu Fengzhai is gone, Zhao Shan can go south, and we still have enough resources to compete."
Su Wei said loudly: "Your Majesty, the emperor's army has reached Wan County. The twelve mountain villages north of Xinye County have all raised their flags and surrendered. Most of the eighteen Nanyang villages we formed have been lost."
boom! !
Zhao Rui's mind seemed to explode.
Everyone was confused.
He spent a lot of money and material resources to set up the Nanyang Eighteen Villages. He threw countless money and food into it, and now it is all gone without even a decent war.
In particular, the power of the Eighteen Villages in Nanyang is an important force in Zhao Rui's northern defense line.
All gone now.
Naturally, Zhao Rui was shocked.
It took a long time for Zhao Rui to come back to his senses. His slumped expression turned angry again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What happened to Li Buyi? I asked him to lead the entire army to fight against Zhao Shan."
"After doing it for such a long time, all the northern defense lines were lost. He actually allowed the people of the Eighteenth Village in Nanyang to surrender, and even allowed Zhao Shan to go south."
"Here, tell Li Buyi to come."
Zhao Rui quickly gave the order.
Zhao Rui always believed that he knew people well and assigned them well, so he appointed Li Buyi as his general. Although Li Buyi was extremely strong and did not understand that flexibility was a bad temper, he also tolerated Li Buyi and did not interfere with Li Buyi's leadership of the army at all.
Unexpectedly, nothing was accomplished.
Su Wei stood aside, looking at his nose and heart, with no intention of expressing his position at all.
His sister is the emperor's woman.
The Su family is also tied to the emperor. He is the emperor's man. The worse Zhao Rui's situation is, the happier he is. Moreover, he did not express anything so that he would not be affected by Zhao Rui and could stay by Zhao Rui's side to gather information for Zhao Shan.
After a while, Li Buyi came in.
Li Buyi has a Chinese character face, splayed eyebrows, and a serious smile. He walks with long and fast steps, giving people a very stern impression. He is stronger and younger than Wei Polu, and appears to be in the prime of life.
Seeing Zhao Rui, Li Buyi said loudly: "Li Buyi, the last general, pays homage to the king."
Zhao Rui opened his mouth and asked: "Li Buyi, what did you do? I asked you to come out of the mountain, and even gave you the full authority to lead the army. Now, Zhao Shan's army is heading south, but you have not done anything."
"In addition, people from the Eighteen Villages in Nanyang have also surrendered, and you have not seen any action."
"If you continue, are you going to wait for Zhao Shan's army to come and sacrifice my head to Zhao Shan?"
Zhao Rui knocked on the desk with his right hand and said loudly: "You are my king's man, you must consider me."
Li Buyi looked calm and continued: "The king doesn't understand how to run an army, but the general can understand. Fighting in the army does not rely on a mob, but relies on the real elite."
"The thieves and bandits in the Eighteen Villages of Nanyang are, pardon the general, a bunch of trash."
"The king invested countless amounts of money and allowed these people to rob the people. It was a big mistake. With so much money, it is better to use it to reward the soldiers. Instead, it can boost morale and let the soldiers die in service."
"As for Zhao Shan going south, the general will deliberately abandon the area north of Xinye to make Zhao Shan proud and complacent and look down on the king's army. This will also consume the vigor of Zhao Shan's army and allow Zhao Shan to underestimate the enemy's advance."
"During this period, the general will also go all out to reorganize the army and adjust its combat effectiveness."
"Only by exerting internal and external force can we fight."
Li Buyi looked arrogant, without any humility, and said forcefully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will definitely stop Zhao Shan and even counterattack Zhao Shan."
Zhao Rui frowned and said: "Li Buyi, you think too highly of Zhao Shan and underestimate the strength of Nanyang Eighteen Villages."
Li Buyi said: "Your Majesty, overestimating yourself and underestimating the enemy is a taboo on the battlefield. With all due respect, the Eighteen Villages of Nanyang cultivated by Your Majesty are trash among trash."
"It is useless to rely on the people in Nanyang Eighteen Villages, but it will affect ourselves."
"On the contrary, it was Zhao Shan who defeated Xiliang, destroyed Dongying, and surrendered to Northern Wei. He was really powerful."
"Never underestimate the enemy. To underestimate the enemy on the battlefield is to stab yourself."
Li Buyi looked calm and said loudly: "Leave professional matters to professionals. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."
Zhao Rui looked at Li Buyi, his eyes spitting fire.
Anger rose in his heart.
He had an urge to beat Li Buyi severely. This guy really didn't deserve a beating. No wonder he had been idle before and never been reused.
