Su Wei watched the soldiers go to inform Li Buyi and laughed in his heart. As long as Li Buyi can be forced to fight, the emperor can lay an ambush and plan for Li Buyi to attack.
Even if Li Buyi is a famous general and difficult to deal with, there is still a chance to destroy Li Buyi's army.
Without Li Buyi in charge of the army, it would be easier to deal with Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui waited for Li Buyi to come, thinking without saying a word. After a while, Zhao Rui suddenly said: "Master Su, what if Li Buyi still refuses?"
Su Wei said: "If Li Buyi wants to prove his innocence, he must go to war. Otherwise, how can the king trust him? Besides, Li Buyi and Wei Polu are equally famous. They are called Bei Polu and Nan Buyi. They are famous generals in the world and have the confidence to go to war." He has no ability and no courage to consume Zhao Shan's troops, so what kind of famous general is he?"
"Indeed!"
Zhao Rui stroked his beard and nodded, this is indeed the truth.
You are not asked to win.
Just attack and consume Zhao Shan's soldiers.
Under this premise, if you are still unwilling to fight and dare not attack, wouldn't it be a disgrace to a famous general?
After a while, Li Buyi entered the palace hall. Wearing armor, he had a solemn expression and saluted, "General Li Buyi, pay homage to your Majesty."
Zhao Rui nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Li Buyi, Zhao Shan is so strong, we can't just defend, we must turn from defense to offense. Zhao Shan can fight, so can we. We cannot let him control the rhythm, we must take the initiative right."
Li Buyi frowned slightly, feeling angry in his heart.
Previously on the tower, he had told Zhao Rui to defend and wait for reinforcements. But now, Zhao Rui changed his mind and wanted to attack again. It was obvious that there was something wrong with his brain.
Moreover, he doesn't look very smart.
Li Buyi patiently explained, "If you leave the city now, you will only fall into Zhao Shan's scheme."
Seeing that Li Buyi was still like this, Zhao Rui leaned forward slightly and said coldly: "I heard that Zhao Shan wants to instigate you, and I am arranging people to go to Jingzhou to instigate your family members. Could it be that you plan to work for Zhao Shan?"
brush!
Li Buyi's expression changed drastically.
He looked at Zhao Rui, a little unbelievable. He didn't expect Zhao Rui to say such a thing?
Li Buyi was even more disappointed, but in the face of Zhao Rui's doubts, Li Buyi did not dare to neglect, and quickly explained: "Please tell me, King Chu, that I, Li Buyi, cannot be incited to rebel."
Zhao Rui said faintly: "I don't know whether you will be incited to rebel, because people's hearts are far apart. If you want to prove yourself, lead troops to attack Zhao Shan's camp and use offense as defense."
"Li Buyi, a famous general in the world, is blocked in Xinye County. It is really embarrassing."
"This is inconsistent with your identity."
"My king's requirements are not high. You don't need to be able to defeat Zhao Shan. You only need to be able to consume Zhao Shan's troops through the attack. Even if we lose more troops during the attack, it is still worth it."
Zhao Rui said in a deep voice: "If we can consume half of Zhao Shan's troops, even if we have fewer troops, we can rely on the defense of Xinye County and have reinforcements go north, plus the troops of Wu King Zhao Gou, it will be easier to win. To say the least, we can win , after Zhao Shan’s troops are reduced, even if we retreat, the cover-up and attack we will encounter will not be that strong.”
Li Buyi also thought carefully.
This is an idea that Li Buyi has never thought of, and it seems to have some uses.
If Li Buyi's army arrives in Xinye, it is actually feasible to adopt a strategy of attrition. But now that the morale of the military is fluctuating, it will be a bit troublesome to adopt this strategy.
Li Buyi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the morale of the army is not stable now. Can you wait a few days before fighting again..."
"Shut up!"
Zhao Rui was completely angry.
He slapped his hand on the desk, his eyes full of anger, and said loudly: "When you first came here, you said that you wanted to avoid Zhao Shan's spirit and were not suitable for fighting. Now you say that the military's morale is unstable. After all, you are a famous general. , why so many questions? Could it be that you really plan to be Zhao Shan’s internal agent? "
Li Buyi said loudly: "The general will never have this intention."
Zhao Rui pressed: "Since there is no such thing, why don't you dare to fight? The dignified Li Buyi is actually afraid of Zhao Shan. What is the use of such a Li Buyi? In one sentence, you can go or not."
"I go!"
Li Buyi had no choice but to answer.
Even though he was strong, he couldn't refuse in the face of Zhao Rui's aggressiveness. News spread in the city that Zhao Shan was instigating rebellion against his family, and he couldn't even wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River.
Even if he knew that this was a rumor spread by Zhao Shan, Li Buyi couldn't explain it.
Seeing that Li Buyi agreed, Zhao Rui had a smile on his face and said with approval: "General Li, I believe in your character. You are from Jingzhou, and I am also from Jingzhou. We are both from Jingzhou, so we should support each other." "
"If I don't believe you, who else can I believe?"
"You can go ahead."
"Whether you win or lose, or whether you don't win or lose, I don't mind, as long as you can consume Zhao Shan's troops."
Zhao Rui's eyes were sharp and he continued: "The most indispensable thing in the world is people. If the soldiers die, just continue to recruit. For the prosperity of Daqian and for the foundation of this king, if the people continue to suffer, we will soon usher in a prosperous age. of."
Li Buyi's cheeks twitched.
Suffering the common people?
This hardship lasted for many years, year after year, three years after three years, and the people were cut off like leeks one after another.
The people in the local area were so hungry that they were skin and bones, and there were starvation deaths everywhere, and they could hardly bear it anymore.
Li Buyi did not say this, but said concisely: "Your Majesty, the general will prepare immediately for a night attack out of the city tonight. In the early morning, I will send troops to fight at night."
Zhao Rui smiled and said: "How you attack is up to you. In a word, just go ahead and attack."
Li Buyi got up and left.
After Li Buyi left, Zhao Rui looked at Su Wei and praised: "Master Su, thanks to your strategy. No matter what, if Li Buyi is willing to fight, he will be able to consume part of Zhao Shan's troops, which will be beneficial to our subsequent war." ."
Su Wei slightly arched his back and said modestly: "Everything is from the great king's sage."
Zhao Rui lost his worries, waved his hand, and Su Wei turned around and left.
After Su Wei left, he contacted the people in Dongchang and arranged for someone to spread the news that Li Buyi was going to attack in the evening, so he waited honestly in Xinye County.
When Zhao Rui and Su Wei were fine, Li Buyi returned to the military camp and inspected military discipline as usual, and found twelve more soldiers who violated military discipline.
These soldiers gambled in the army.
Li Buyi has always been good at killing people and establishing his authority.
Killing people before the war can scare the soldiers even more, making them attack with all their strength and not dare to disobey his orders. Now, Li Buyi adopted the same strategy and killed twelve soldiers who violated laws and disciplines to shock the soldiers.
Li Buyi killed someone, then announced the arrangements for the evening attack, and reiterated military discipline that as long as he ordered the attack, he must attack. Anyone who hesitates or retreats will be killed without mercy.
Li Buyi was always majestic and awed the soldiers from the bottom of their hearts, so after he made arrangements, no one dared to disobey orders.
Time flies and night falls.
Li Buyi killed pigs and sheep at night and rewarded the soldiers. After dark, he quietly led people out of the city and headed towards Zhao Shan's camp. When Li Buyi arrived outside Zhao Shan's camp, he did not attack immediately, but waited.
Time passed little by little, and Li Buyi observed the camp's defense line.
Li Buyi continued to wait patiently.
In the early morning, Li Buyi made sure that the soldiers in the camp had fallen asleep long ago, and then ordered: "Send my military order and the army will enter Zhao Shan's camp."
The cry of killing suddenly became loud.
A large number of soldiers ran out of the darkness and quickly headed towards the camp. This time the attack encountered no resistance, and the soldiers at the gate of the camp withdrew directly.
But not far into the camp, torches suddenly lit up on both sides of the camp.
"Li Buyi, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Screams soaring into the sky rang out from the camp. Groups of Zhao Shan's soldiers shouted the words passed down and quickly launched a counterattack, encircling Li Buyi's army from both sides.
