When Zhao Rui heard Su Wei's words, he also looked confused and said in shock: "Master Su, what do you mean? Li Buyi has been defeated. If he doesn't retreat now, will he stay in Xinye County and wait to be caught in a jar?"
"Your Majesty, Miao Ye!"
Su Wei answered with an upright look.
Zhao Rui said thoughtfully: "Su Wei, just say what you want to say, don't hide it and hesitate."
Su Wei looked calm and said: "Your Majesty, although we have lost Li Buyi, we still have the geographical advantage of Xinye County. Although we have lost Li Buyi, we still have 30,000 to 40,000 elites who are not afraid of a battle."
"The most important thing is, we have reinforcements!"
"Withdrawing from Xinye County now, King Wu's reinforcements will not be a surprise force and cannot gain an advantage. Now we stay in Xinye and use the city defense to continue to consume Zhao Shan's troops and wait for the reinforcements to arrive."
Su Wei looked like he was talking eloquently, with deception in his words.
He wants to keep Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui frowned deeply and said with a worried look on his face: "After all, Li Buyi is gone."
Su Wei continued: "Li Buyi is gone, but the king is in charge of the army. When the king is there, the morale of the army is there. When the king is there, the people's hearts are there. Our best strategy is to use offense as defense, and use Li Buyi's attack to consume Zhao Shan's troops ."
"Li Buyi is a waste and cannot complete the mission. Then, we will use the troops in our hands to defend Xinye County."
"This is the middle strategy, using the city to consume Zhao Shan's power."
"My lord, there is no sense of accomplishment in winning easily. Victory after suffering, after arduous persistence, the achievements are as precious as the rainbow after the rain."
Su Wei keeps drawing big cakes.
He was afraid that Zhao Rui would abandon Xinye County and run away. If he ran away now, even if he could defeat Zhao Rui's troops, he would not be able to capture Zhao Rui. Now, it would be easier to just keep Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui listened to Su Wei's words and thought about it carefully. He still had an advantage and could fight again.
If you don’t persist, what kind of victory is there?
Only by persisting can there be hope and opportunity for victory.
Zhao Rui thought of the solidity of Xinye County and Zhao Gou's reinforcements, and some fighting spirit rose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said: "Master Su is right, we must persist and fight to the end."
"On a strong wind, you can see strong grass; on a rocky day, you can see loyal ministers. Although our army is facing danger, Master Su has no fear at all and advocates a battle. This king is deeply moved."
"With Su Qing's help, I will have nothing to worry about."
"Su Qing, the day this king enters Luoyang is the day when you will pay homage to the prime minister."
Zhao Rui, in turn, drew a cake for Su Wei and continued: "Even if Li Buyi is defeated, I still have loyal ministers like Su Qing, and people's hearts are with me. In addition, I have many troops, and as long as King Wu The reinforcements have arrived, but the strength is still superior."
"We have geographical advantages, popular support, and military strength. No matter how you say it, the advantage in this battle is mine."
"You must fight to the end."
"I believe in Su Qing's words. I will fight to the death with Zhao Shan and will never give up until the end."
Zhao Rui looked excited and said loudly: "Send my military order to everyone in the army and in the city. Anyone who dares to say retreat will be killed without mercy."
Su Wei said: "Your Majesty, Shengming!"
Zhao Rui glanced at Su Wei again and said, "Li Buyi is gone, military orders must come from me. Without my order, the army is not allowed to move without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."
Su Wei's heart moved.
Zhao Rui is really a chicken thief. He didn't let go of power even after Li Buyi was gone, and still clung to the military power. If Zhao Rui now delegates power and puts him in charge of the army, Su Wei can open the city gates to cooperate with the outside, put Zhao Shan's troops into the city, directly control Zhao Rui, and win this battle.
Su Wei didn't show any emotion and said with a smile: "I accept your order."
"Report!"
Just at this moment, another soldier rushed over and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from King Wu."
"Send it over quickly."
Zhao Rui ordered to go down.
The soldier handed over the report, and Zhao Rui opened it and looked down at it. The more he read, the more excited he became, and the more he read, the more excited he became. He couldn't help laughing loudly.
Su Wei's heart moved slightly.
what's the situation?
Zhao Rui, who looked like he had no way out just now, suddenly changed. He thought for a moment and realized that reinforcements were most likely coming.
Su Wei asked: "Your Majesty, are reinforcements coming?"
Zhao Rui nodded and said: "Su Qing, it is indeed King Wu's reinforcements who have arrived. King Wu arranged for General Sun Po's army to go north with a force of 30,000. After entering Nanyang, they swept away the bandit Ye Yunfei in Deng County and recaptured Deng County. Sun Pojun’s troops are hidden, and he will adapt accordingly, allowing us to fight with all our strength.”
hiss!
Su Wei's heart skipped a beat.
Deng County is gone!
This is very troublesome and ruins a huge opportunity.
The presence of Deng County cut off Zhao Rui's retreat. The loss of Deng County meant that Zhao Rui's situation came to life again, making it more difficult to attack Zhao Rui. At this moment, Su Wei felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have stopped Zhao Rui from evacuating, and should have allowed Zhao Rui to evacuate.
Now, it's hard to stop it.
The key is that Ye Yunfei is too useless.
After capturing Deng County, it was easily broken by Sun Pojun, making the situation instantly complicated.
Zhao Rui looked at Su Wei who was in deep thought, and said with emotion: "Su Qing, thanks to your persuasion. Without your persuasion, I would have already made arrangements to withdraw the troops. If the order is not arranged, and the morale of the army is not damaged, there will be too much A lot of room for maneuver. In any case, the situation is favorable to us."
Su Wei said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Rui asked: "What was Su Qing thinking about just now?"
Su Wei quickly explained: "I was just thinking about how to use the power of Sun Pojun and make full use of them so that we can seize the opportunity to counterattack."
Zhao Rui asked: "Is there anything Su Qing can do?"
Su Wei said without hesitation: "I think we should defend first and then consider the next step. With the help of Xinye County's defense, Zhao Shan's strength will be consumed. As long as Zhao Shan's strength is consumed, Sun Pojun can adapt to the situation. If Zhao Shan's The strength has not been weakened, and Sun Pojun cannot seize the opportunity. In any case, in the final analysis, it is to consume Zhao Shan's strength."
Zhao Rui stroked his beard, looked calm, and praised: "Su Qing is right, let's do it like this. You are better at stabilizing people's hearts, so you will be responsible. As for the army, I will make arrangements and defend with all my strength."
"I accept your order!"
Su Wei answered with cupped hands.
He stopped staying, got up and left Zhao Rui's palace. After returning to the city, he first implemented Zhao Rui's arrangements, and then secretly wrote a letter, writing down the situation of Sun Pojun's arrival and the strength of his troops, and gave it to the people in Dongchang for delivery. go out.
As the news approached noon, Su Wei's news had been sent to Zhao Shan's camp.
