Li Buyi has a stubborn character and doesn't know how to adapt, but he is not a stupid person.
For a moment, he had already thought about a lot of things that happened after meeting Zhao Shan. As a peerless military commander, Li Buyi was easily defeated by Zhao Shan although he was inferior to Zhao Shan in martial arts.
The emperor in front of him was an enemy of ten thousand people.
What's even more terrifying is that such an invincible emperor has enough scheming and meticulous thoughts, and his mouth is as sharp as a blade.
Completely unable to compete.
Li Buyi is a good husband and son. He is always filial to his mother and respects and cares for his old wife. Just like this, when Zhao Shanxian threatened him with rumors of traitors and traitors, now even his family members were affected, and he was completely suppressed.
Not even a chance to struggle.
The longing look in Li Buyi's eyes turned to solemnity, and he asked: "If I surrender to the imperial court and serve His Majesty the Emperor. But my wife, children and mother are still living in Xiangyang. When the news of my surrender spreads, they will definitely be affected. How can Your Majesty guarantee this?"
Zhao Shan smiled in his heart.
Li Buyi's words meant that he had been subdued.
Li Buyi's stubborn temper must be suppressed and beaten severely, so that he will not dare to have any thoughts, let alone disobey orders. If Li Buyi is not suppressed now, it will be difficult to control him even if he surrenders.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Li Buyi, your worries are unnecessary."
Li Buyi asked: "Why?"
Zhao Shandao: "First, the people under my command in Dongchang have been lurking in Xiangyang for a long time and have planted countless spies. As long as my order goes down, it is enough to protect your family. When you surrender, I will arrange for Dongchang's If people move, we can hide them and wait until we go south to Xiangyang to rendezvous."
Li Buyi frowned and said: "Your Majesty said there is a hidden stake in Dongchang, but the King of Chu has been running Xiangyang for many years, and his spies are everywhere. Your Majesty's people may not be able to succeed. But your Majesty said the first point, is there more? s method?"
Zhao Shan chuckled and said: "What if people from Dongchang take action and Su Wei supports them? This is my second method."
"What?"
Li Buyi exclaimed.
His heart was pounding, and he looked at Zhao Shan with a shocked look on his face, and said in shock: "Su Wei is the chief secretary of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and a confidant of the Prince of Chu. Is he also one of His Majesty's people?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Isn't it possible? This is not a big deal."
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Li Buyi spoke one after another and said with emotion: "No wonder the King of Chu asked me to go to war. There must be Su Wei's cooperation inside and outside. Your Majesty has already received the news through Su Wei and laid an ambush early to wait for me to come."
Zhao Shan chuckled and said: "With Su Wei's support and my people's actions, are you still worried about your family?"
Li Buyi was completely convinced.
The emperor's methods were so powerful that even Su Wei instigated rebellion.
Li Buyi no longer hesitated, stood up and saluted, "Li Buyi, a common man, is willing to serve your Majesty, and I will obey your Majesty's instructions."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "You are a smart man. I hope you will shine under my command. Your submission will not be publicized to the outside world for the time being. In addition, in order to gain trust and appease Zhao Rui, I will use you to threaten Zhao Rui. It also buys time for the people in Dongchang to take action."
call! !
Li Buyi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the news of his surrender is not announced, Zhao Rui has no reason to target the Li family.
Zhao Shan asked someone to let go of Li Buyi's rope, waved his hand and said, "Go and have a rest. We will go to Xinye County this afternoon."
After Li Buyi was untied, although he was still injured, he looked at Zhao Shan and said doubtfully: "Although I can't match your majesty's bravery, I believe that few people in the army can defeat me. Your Majesty, if you let go now, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to leave?"
Zhao Shan smiled instead.
Li Buyi was somewhat interesting and completely relaxed. Instead, he remained doubtful and resisted questioning.
That's how people are.
You surrendered to your face and held you up at every turn, but he held on to you instead. When you surrendered and released your bonds, he was a little surprised.
Li Buyi asked: "Why is your Majesty laughing?"
Zhao Shan explained: "Li Buyi, when I do things, I always hire people without doubting others and don't use them. This is the most important principle and the first principle."
"The second principle is that I am not afraid of you betraying me again."
"You were not mine before, so don't care about the past. If you surrender to me, but betray me again, that is disloyal. If you are disloyal once, you will be disloyal for the rest of your life."
"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal."
"Never again."
"Third, if you betray today and are captured by me tomorrow, I will no longer have the possibility of surrendering, and the Li family will definitely be dealt with."
Zhao Shan continued: "I have full assurance and even more confidence to win. So if you betray, I will wait and see what you can do? Let's see if you can help Zhao Rui defend Xinye, or if I defeat Zhao Rui and capture you again, I’ll kill you all over the house!”
The surging murderous aura instantly enveloped Li Buyi.
The pupils in Li Buyi's eyes shrank, feeling Zhao Shan's confidence and unparalleled domineering power, and he felt even more emotional.
This is the Holy Son of Heaven!
This is the Emperor of Daqian!
Li Buyi bowed deeply to Zhao Shan and then respectfully withdrew.
Zhao Shan's camp is rapidly resting and recovering its combat effectiveness in preparation for the next attack on Xinye. Compared with Zhao Shan's ease, when Li Buyi failed to attack Zhao Shan's camp and was defeated and captured, and the army was ruined, some deserters returned to Xinye County.
The garrison of Xinye County was immediately stunned and did not dare to delay and allow the soldiers to enter the city. When the deserters entered the city, the news was reported layer by layer and reached Su Wei's ears. Su Wei was ecstatic in his heart.
Li Buyi is Zhao Rui's confidence.
Without Li Buyi, Zhao Rui will be more likely to lose next.
It would be easier for Zhao Shan to win.
Su Wei went directly to Zhao Rui's palace of King Chu to meet him. When he saw Zhao Rui drinking, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, Li Buyi led his troops to attack in a sneak attack and was completely defeated. At present, Li Buyi is captured and his life and death are unknown. The ones he brought out are An army of 20,000 people collapsed. Less than a thousand soldiers escaped."
boom!
There seemed to be thunder exploding in Zhao Rui's mind, his eyes were dizzy, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a clang.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Rui came back to his senses and cursed loudly: "Li Buyi is a loser. He claims to be as famous as Wei Polu, but he is so embarrassed. He led his troops to attack Zhao Shan's camp. He was defeated and captured, but he was all The army was destroyed."
"There are rumors in the city that Zhao Shan is instigating rebellion against Li Buyi. Could it be that Li Buyi, a loser, definitely wants to surrender to Zhao Shan."
"Otherwise, how could we fail?"
"This is not one or two thousand people, but more than 20,000 people. Even if there are more than 20,000 pigs, it will not be easy for Zhao Shan to capture them in one night."
Zhao Rui clenched his fist, punched it on the desk, and roared: "Li Buyi is a dog thief, he has done too much harm to me. I am so kind to him, but I didn't expect that he is an ignorant white-eyed wolf."
Su Wei looked loyal and said: "Your Majesty, although Li Buyi lost, maybe he just lost and had no other thoughts. It is useless to pursue these matters now. The key is how to deal with it?"
"How else to deal with it?"
Zhao Rui looked anxious and said: "Retreat, retreat, seize the time to evacuate Xinye."
"No, Your Majesty!"
Su Wei quickly persuaded without hesitation.
Zhao Rui was a trapped beast in Xinye. Once he left Xinye to break out, he would easily exceed Zhao Shan's range. At present, he still has to stabilize Zhao Rui and not let the big fish Zhao Rui escape.
