Zhao Rui took several deep breaths before adjusting his emotions and preventing himself from losing control of Li Buyi.
Without Li Buyi, it would be difficult for him to resist Zhao Shan.
This is fundamental.
If Han Qianshan and Han Zhong were still there, and there were generals in the army, Zhao Rui would not hire Goubuli like Li Buyi at all.
Zhao Rui stopped talking about anything else and asked in a deep voice: "Li Buyi, I just want to say one thing, Zhao Shan's army is coming to Xinye County, can you stop it?"
"Can block it!"
Li Buyi answered without hesitation.
"Sure?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Zhao Rui's eyes and he said, "What if I can't stop it?"
Li Buyi held his head high and replied without giving in: "If you can't stop me, I'm willing to accept military law!"
When Su Wei saw this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is not the case, it is not the case of military law. General Li has a sincere heart, and he is a minister of the state of Chu. With General Li in charge, we can sit back and relax. Without General Li, who can do anything in Jingzhou?" How about being a general? Please give me a warning, your Majesty."
These are words of comfort.
Ask Zhao Rui not to target Li Buyi.
But Zhao Rui was angry. He was not a broad-minded person. He was stimulated by Li Buyi's words and felt very unhappy. On the contrary, he even wanted to beat Li Buyi.
Zhao Rui said forcefully: "In the army, the strong are superior to the weak. The strong are always respected. If General Li can stop Zhao Shan's army, I will not say anything and will fully support you. Even if you If you want to go to heaven, I am sure. If you can't stop it, how can the army support idle people?"
Li Buyi said forcefully: "If I, Li Buyi, can't hold on, I'll let you do whatever you want."
He has always been like this.
Don't keep your mouth shut.
He is extremely strong and only sticks to his own opinions. Even if he is the King of Heaven, Li Buyi has the same attitude. He never knows what a turn is and has always been stubborn.
However, Li Buyi was very brave on the battlefield, calm and decisive, and had keen eyesight, which was very powerful. Especially because of his iron-blooded methods and radical actions, the troops he commanded always dared to fight and fight.
Just like this, after Li Buyi took over Zhao Rui's troops, he killed hundreds of people in a short period of time, completely purified military discipline, and made the army prohibitive.
Zhao Rui no longer thought about breaking up with Li Buyi, and waved his hand: "Go, I am waiting for your good news."
"I will retire at the end!"
Li Buyi saluted and turned to leave.
Su Wei waited for Li Buyi to leave and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Li Buyi has such a bad temper, why should we be friends with him? We need Li Buyi's strength to stop the emperor's army."
Zhao Rui snorted and said: "Without me, Li Buyi would have been killed by the eunuch back then. With my help, he can live in seclusion without any worries. It is outrageous to show off to me now."
Su Wei still looked like a good old man and persuaded him: "After all, Li Buyi is good at leading troops."
A cold light flashed across Zhao Rui's eyes and he said: "No matter how good you are at leading troops, you must be obedient. If you are not obedient and disloyal, it will be useless no matter how useful you are. Okay, go down, I want to be quiet."
"I resign!"
Su Wei turned and left.
On the contrary, he was happy in his heart. The more arrogant and arrogant Zhao Rui became, the more internal divisions there were, and the more he wanted to beat Li Buyi, the more beneficial it would be to Zhao Shan.
Something unhappy happened between Zhao Rui and Li Buyi, and Li Buyi didn't pay much attention to it. If the King of Chu couldn't stand it, at worst he would continue to live in seclusion after the war, and he wouldn't care about other things.
If it weren't for Zhao Rui's friendship, Li Buyi wouldn't have participated in the war at all.
Now he is just repaying his kindness.
Li Buyi returned to the army in the city and continued to rectify the soldiers. He controlled the army. In addition to providing the soldiers with sufficient pay and food, he suppressed the soldiers with strict military discipline and made the soldiers must obey orders.
If you disobey orders, you will be killed directly.
While Li Buyi was waiting, Zhao Shan's army was already on its way south. Li Buyi was not worried at all about the impact of his tough tactics. Instead, he specially arrested a group of models and executed them in front of all the soldiers, all of whom had their heads chopped off.
The lieutenants of the army were even more in awe of Li Buyi.
Because Li Buyi really kills people.
Ordinary generals don't care about military discipline, they just want you to go to the battlefield and fight. Li Buyi was different. The closer the war came, the more it was necessary to select examples of lawbreakers and disciplines to scare the monkeys, specifically to frighten the soldiers and ensure that orders and prohibitions were followed.
While Li Buyi was reorganizing his army, Zhao Shan's army continued southward and finally arrived at Xinye County.
Zhao Shan collected the bandits' troops all the way from Luyang County, released the bandits who were willing to leave, and then eliminated the bandits who did not meet the conditions through reorganization. Now Zhao Shan's troops have been expanded.
The number of troops increased from more than 30,000 to nearly 60,000.
This is the result of Zhao Shan eliminating many weak soldiers. If Zhao Shan ignores the explosion of troops, the number of troops will be at least more than 100,000.
The army was arrayed outside the city, filled with black murderous intent.
Zhao Shan, wearing armor, rode a horse to the outside of Xinye County and looked up at the city tower.
The city in Xinye County has been fortified and there is a moat outside the city. It was early summer, there was a lot of rain, and the rivers were swollen, causing the water to become turbulent. It was not easy to storm Xinye County.
Zhao Shan knew that Li Buyi was on the tower.
I know this person is difficult to beat.
However, Zhao Shan was not afraid at all and would fight no matter how hard it was.
Zhao Shan said: "Zhao Rui, I'm here."
Zhao Rui stood on the tower with sharp eyes and said forcefully: "Zhao Shan, what will happen even if you come? You are an unprincipled and ignorant king who kills courtiers and clan members indiscriminately. You think you have some military achievements, so you despise the people of the world. The people of the world are like rotten dogs, and the clans of the world are like pigs and sheep. A tyrannical and foolish king like you is destined to have no future."
Zhao Shan couldn't help laughing.
He has always been good at shouting. Unexpectedly, Zhao Rui took the verbal offensive first.
Zhao Shan said: "Zhao Rui, Zhao Rui, I didn't expect you to have some eloquence. Unfortunately, you are very wrong. The people under my rule have enough food and clothing, and their lives are prosperous. "
"Every winter, countless people flee to Luoyang from Jingzhou and other places. Every one of them is skinny, sallow and thin, and life is difficult."
"You said that I regard the people of the world as stupid dogs. Why do the people flock to the imperial court to flee?"
"Nowadays, the officials in the government are honest and dedicated, have the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the country, and are determined to save the people from disaster."
"On the other hand, as the vassal king of Daqian, you, Zhao Rui, have starved to death on the road, hungry people everywhere, bandits and bandits everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. Your officials are corrupt, pervert the law, and withhold money. They are just a bunch of rats."
Zhao Shan said loudly: "Zhao Rui, because you are the clan king of Daqian, you tied your hands honestly, knelt down and left the city to beg for mercy. I will spare your life and imprison you in the clan mansion until you die. The friendship between the Zhao family members has been overturned. If you resist stubbornly, I can only ruthlessly kill everyone in your lineage as King Chu."
Zhao Rui was furious when he heard this.
He is angry!
Zhao Shan is so bold that he wants to kill everyone in his lineage, which is really a foolish dream.
When you say spare a dog's life, is he a dog?
They say that people from the sect are imprisoned until death. Is this friendship?
Zhao Rui was furious like never before and stopped talking nonsense with Zhao Shan. He looked at Li Buyi and said, "Li Buyi, Zhao Shan is here. How are you going to defeat the enemy? Do you want to continue to defend? I want to win and tear Zhao Shan apart." Make him pay the price for his kind words.”
