When Li Buyi heard Zhao Rui's words, he was unmoved and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, war is not a child's game, and it is not a matter of a day or two. For example, now, Zhao Shan's army has just arrived at Xinye City, and the soldiers are fighting Sharp, high morale, every soldier is eager to make achievements."
"At this moment, the imperial army, from Zhao Shan to the soldiers, are all thinking about destroying the city. At this time, it is difficult to win against Zhao Shan head-on."
"The current strategy is to put defense first."
"By guarding the city in Xinye County, we will consume Zhao Shan's first wave of offensive and weaken his morale. Only after Zhao Shan retreats can we attack again to gain the advantage."
Li Buyi's eyes were wise and deep, as sharp as those of a falcon, and his expression was as motionless as a mountain, as if a glacier that had not melted for thousands of years was not affected by anything.
However, Zhao Rui was angry.
Zhao Rui pointed at Zhao Shan outside the city and said angrily: "Zhao Shan is arrogant and deceiving people so much that you can't even shrink back. Your theory is nonsense. You might as well just say that the city is invincible and the defense is. Your one Your words make it seem like you are very capable. In my opinion, you are afraid of Zhao Shan, so you don't dare to fight."
Li Buyi said: "The king can say whatever he wants. In a word, if the king wants to go out of the city to attack, he will exempt me from the right to command the army. If the king wants me to continue to be in charge of the army, I will not go out of the city to attack."
"you……"
Zhao Rui was so angry that his liver ached.
Li Buyi is really a stinky stone in the latrine, stubborn and ineffective.
Zhao Rui snorted and said: "Since you are capable, you will be responsible. I will go back and wait for the news. If you can't stop me, come and see me."
Zhao Rui is confident in Xinye County's city defense. Not only is the city strong, it also has enough equipment, armor, and elite soldiers. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Rui dared to delegate power to Li Buyi, allowing Li Buyi to fully defend him and go back to rest.
After Zhao Rui left, Li Buyi took over the defense rhythm on the tower.
Li Buyi took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, the way to govern a country is to rule from the top down. The emperor lives in the central city, and the feudal kings guard the four directions. Only the great officials can be passed down for thousands of years. Now the emperor is attacking the Chu State, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and using the big to bully the small. It's really No, please His Majesty the Emperor to withdraw his troops."
Zhao Shan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you Li Buyi?"
Li Buyi said: "That's right."
Zhao Shan mocked: "I didn't expect that the dignified Li Buyi would say such treasonous words. Among the Daqian army, there are Bei Polu and Nan Buyi. They are the twins of the empire. There are tiger generals in both the south and the north."
"Wei Polu is getting stronger and stronger. He drove out the Northern Wei Dynasty in Youzhou and made great achievements."
"You, Li Buyi, come from a family of generals. You don't want to do your best for the country, but you help others do evil. This is disappointing."
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "I even heard that you, Li Buyi, have always been strong, and you can't tolerate the slightest grain of sand in your eyes. You are a person who hates evil as much as hatred. Now, your original intention has changed drastically, which is disappointing."
Li Buyi said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, no matter how eloquent you are, it's useless. You can attack the King of Chu with words, but it's useless to me. The King of Chu has returned to the city now, and the tower has been handed over to me. Me. In front of me, all words are useless, I resolutely perform the task of defense."
Zhao Shan snorted and said, "So, do you admit that you helped the evildoers?"
Li Buyi remained silent.
Zhao Shan continued: "When I went south, I heard the news of Li Buyi's coming out of the mountain. I was quite puzzled and felt sorry for him. The Li family has been a family of generals for generations, and they have been loyal from generation to generation."
"Your grandfather, Li Muzhi, was good at defense. He was said to be immovable as a mountain. With 30,000 men, he withstood the attack of the 150,000 Northern Wei army for three months and successfully blocked the Northern Wei army."
"Your father, Li Liang, was good at inserting cavalry. He once went deep into the hinterland of Xiliang and used a small force to disrupt the situation in Xiliang."
"You, Li Buyi, have been famous since you were young."
"You have been immersed in loyalty from generation to generation, which makes you hate evil as much as hatred, and you can't stand any treacherous person. It's just like this. When fighting on the battlefield, you never flattered, and you didn't have a good look towards the eunuchs who were supervising the army, and you dared to scold them directly."
"Even if you are demoted, you have nothing to fear."
Zhao Shan talked eloquently, and his words contained respect for the Li family, because the Li family where Li Buyi belonged was a real family of generals.
Li Buyi frowned slightly.
He wanted to refute, but when it came to the ancestors of the Li family, he chose to shut up cautiously and did not speak to Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan did not stop talking and continued: "The former Li Buyi followed the example of his ancestors and hated evil as much as his enemies. He did not join in the evil deeds. Now Li Buyi knows that the King of Chu, Zhao Rui, is entrenched in Jingzhou, exploiting the people and treating the people as pigs and dogs. But you insist on working for him, where is your conscience? Is it worthy of the ancestors of the Li family?"
brush!
Li Buyi's expression changed drastically.
Even though he has always been stern and doesn't like to talk too much. But Zhao Shan's words touched Li Buyi's bottom line.
It involves the family tradition of the Li family.
It involves the century-old reputation of the Li family.
Li Buyi looked solemn and said forcefully: "Zhao Shan, what do you keep saying about me? How did the court treat me? I was loyal, but in exchange I was dismissed and executed."
"Without King Chu's help, I would have been dead."
"It's ironic that the court is immoral but demands loyalty from its ministers."
"You, Zhao Shan, are noble and noble. If you ask me to be consistent, you are asking me to die."
Li Buyi said loudly: "If I die, you can seize Nanyang and easily destroy Jingzhou. This is your sinister intention. What you say about loyalty and conscience is nothing more than for your benefit."
Zhao Shan clicked his tongue and said, "What General Li said is a distortion of the facts."
"fart!"
Li Buyi became angry.
Seeing Zhao Shan chattering away, he said loudly: "You, Zhao Shan, have been in Luoyang all the time, why do you criticize me?"
Zhao Shan continued: "What's wrong? Are you angry because I exposed his inconsistent and hypocritical face? You know that Zhao Rui is not a good person. He is willing to do evil things to survive. Can't you tell him?"
"If you admit it, you have identified Zhao Rui and want to die for him, regardless of the life or death of the people, that's all."
"He's such a villain."
"But, you said that you still have conscience and conscience, and working for Zhao Rui was a helpless choice forced by the situation. So when you faced the eunuch, why didn't you make a choice due to the situation and use some means to leave a useful body? Woolen cloth?"
"You have to have a conscience and not be said to be clinging to power. It's really ironic that you're a bitch and you still build a memorial."
Zhao Shan's eyes were full of shock, and his words were like knives, piercing into Li Buyi's heart.
Li Buyi's face was ashen.
The whole person was extremely angry.
Zhao Shanqu ignored Li Buyi's thoughts and continued to attack: "If you, Li Buyi, did not attach to Zhao Rui, you could resist me as a rebel army alone. In other words, you just can't stand the court. I, Zhao Shanjing, and you are a man."
"You keep flaunting your loyalty, saying that you can't stand the turmoil in the court, but you turn to Zhao Rui, who is in turmoil. This is inconsistent and ironic."
"You were once loyal to the court and would rather break than bend. Now you cling to powerful people and act as a stooge. You violate your conscience and are unjust."
"You are being unfilial by abandoning the ways of your ancestors and not having any filial piety."
"After I came to the throne, the atmosphere of the imperial court changed drastically. I appointed talented people, protected the country and the people, and started a new trend. You turned a blind eye and it was disloyal."
"Now you personally lead the troops to start the war, causing countless civilian soldiers to be involved in the war. It is unkind."
Zhao Shan flicked his sleeves and scolded: "You Li Buyi are unfaithful, filial, benevolent, and unjust. How can you bark in front of me? You don't hide and shrink, but you stand up and make rebellious remarks. I have never seen you For someone as shameless as you."
