Zhao Shan received the letter from Su Wei and was a little surprised after reading it. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou's general Sun Pojun came with his men. The most critical thing is that Ye Yunfei couldn't even hold on for a day or two.
If Ye Yunfei delays for some time, the war in Xinye County will be more calm.
The current situation is more complicated.
Zhao Shan didn't panic at all. Even if Sun Pojun came, he couldn't change Zhao Rui's defeat. What's more, Zhao Shan captured Li Buyi and had Su Wei as an internal support, so he had enough advantages.
It is nothing more than spending more time dealing with Sun Pojun and defeating Sun Pojun, which can further weaken Zhao Gou's troops.
After Zhao Shan thought carefully, he ordered: "If anyone comes, please inform Fang Weihu, Wei Fengqing and Li Buyi to discuss the matter."
The soldiers went to inform, and after a while, Fang Weihu, Wei Fengqing and Li Buyi entered hand in hand.
The three of them bowed and took their seats.
Zhao Shan got straight to the point and talked about Sun Pojun's attack and Ye Yunfei's loss of Deng County. He said in a deep voice: "Sun Pojun has entered Xinye County and is hiding. I don't know where he is hiding. Tell us your thoughts. What do you think about this battle? How to fight?"
Wei Fengqing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, before Sun Pojun comes and attacks us, attack Deng County immediately and capture Zhao Rui alive."
"inappropriate!"
Li Buyi retorted without hesitation.
Wei Fengqing said: "General Li, why is it inappropriate?"
Li Buyi analyzed: "Since Zhao Rui has received the news about Sun Pojun, he has made preparations for defense. The most critical point is that the army is always in Zhao Rui's hands. Our army goes to attack, and Zhao Rui fights to the death. We must directly It will be difficult to capture Xinye County.”
Wei Fengqing said: "Zhao Rui is hiding in Xinye County, just like hiding in a turtle shell, it is difficult to attack. If we don't attack now, when Sun Pojun is ready, does General Li think we still have a chance?"
Zhao Shan's eyes also fell on Li Buyi.
Li Buyi said: "Your Majesty, if we want to capture Zhao Rui now, we have to seize the time and win by surprise. This is the only way."
"People from Dongchang can sneak into Xinye County, and I am willing to follow them and sneak into Xinye County. I will do two things in the city. First, lobby the generals under Zhao Rui to make them mutiny to arrest Zhao Rui."
"Second, even if the mutiny fails, I will arrange for people to open the city gate while taking action, allowing His Majesty's army to enter the city and control Xinye County."
"As long as we are fast, we can capture Xinye and capture Zhao Rui."
Li Buyi said solemnly: "The premise of this plan is to take a little precaution against Sun Pojun's army and your Majesty to prepare a strategy to deal with it."
Wei Fengqing was thoughtful and even more impressed.
She knew Li Buyi.
This is the same name as her grandfather.
It's really awesome.
It's just that Li Buyi has just surrendered. Whether it is worthy of belief is still debatable. Wei Fengqing did not say more about this, this was Zhao Shan's consideration.
Zhao Shan looked relaxed and contented, and said confidently: "Li Qing's plan is a brilliant one. This plan has a prerequisite. Can you instigate Zhao Rui's generals?"
"able!"
Li Buyi answered without hesitation.
In order to be more convincing, Li Buyi explained: "Zhao Rui has always treated soldiers and generals harshly. I only know these situations after I trained the soldiers and mastered the army."
"There are currently many generals in the army who were promoted according to their abilities after I trained and integrated the army."
"Actually, there are also generals under Zhao Rui. However, I did not deal with the generals arranged by Zhao Rui, but I promoted many people. These people with ordinary backgrounds and ideas are completely capable of instigating rebellion."
Li Buyi solemnly said: "If I act in Xinye County, my identity will inevitably be exposed. The people in Dongchang must speed up the operation in Xiangyang and take my family members away. Otherwise, if the news gets out, Zhao Rui's son Zhao Xuan will definitely Targeting my family. Zhao Xuan is only twenty years old, but he is very heroic and very different from Zhao Rui."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "I also agree with Li Qing's plan. In order to ensure that your whereabouts and identity are kept confidential, I am revising your plan."
Li Buyi said: "Your Majesty, please give me some instructions?"
Zhao Shan replied: "After you sneak into the city to instigate Zhao Rui's generals, you don't need to personally come out to capture Zhao Rui. You can just send people to besiege Zhao Rui. Try to keep your identity secret. Your family members and people from Dongchang will be there in the shortest time." time to protect it.”
Li Buyi was moved.
He had just arrived, and offering such a strategy was a great test for the emperor, because sneaking into the city would break away from Zhao Shan's control.
However, Zhao Shan chose to believe him.
The emperor is the emperor after all.
Although he has a venomous mouth and a tongue as sharp as a knife, he has the demeanor and heart of a king, and is even more considerate of his subordinates.
Li Buyi thought about his contribution to capturing Zhao Rui alive, and was even more grateful for Zhao Shan's kindness. He solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I must personally take action to capture Zhao Rui more quickly."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "In that case, follow Li Qing's suggestion. After you confirm the plan, arrange for someone to spread the news, and I will respond quickly."
"I accept your order!"
Li Buyi answered quickly.
Zhao Shan asked with concern again: "You are still injured, are you sure you can move?"
"Promise it's okay!"
Li Buyi answered without hesitation.
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Go ahead and take action. I'll let the people from Dongchang take you there."
Immediately, Zhao Shan made arrangements for people from Dongchang to take Li Buyi to action. When Li Buyi walked out of the tent, Fang Weihu said, "Your Majesty, is Li Buyi really trustworthy? What if Li Buyi regrets his decision after entering Xinye County?"
Zhao Shan chuckled and said: "Li Buyi is a smart man and can judge the situation. If Zhao Rui is strong, Li Buyi is not worthy of trust. However, Zhao Rui is already sunset, and his life is precarious. Li Buyi will not continue to work for Zhao Rui. Effective."
"Li Buyi has been living in seclusion these years and has not worked for Zhao Rui."
"There is not much kindness between Zhao Rui and Li Buyi. Li Buyi will not risk his life to die for Zhao Rui."
"In the end, the people from Dongchang went south to Xiangyang to take away Li Buyi's family. Li Buyi is now going to the city to find Zhao Rui. If he continues to work for Zhao Rui, it will be too late and he will not be able to protect his family."
Zhao Shan confidently said: "Unless Li Buyi doesn't even want his family. If you have the opportunity, you must give it a try."
Fang Weihu praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"
When the conversation changed, Fang Weihu said again: "Your Majesty, Li Buyi is supporting us in taking Xinye County. I believe that no matter how we analyze it, Zhao Gou's army will come out to attack our rear."
"Wu's military strength is dominated by infantry. Next, I think we can use the main infantry to join Li Buyi, capture Zhao Rui, and wipe out Zhao Rui's troops. Once Sun Po's army comes, use Xuanjia's army to defeat the opponent and defeat them. The opponent’s military strength.”
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Fang Qing's strategy is feasible."
The Xuanjia Army is elite.
It can be used in the initial offensive charge, or it can be used as the final word when the two armies are in a stalemate. The current strength must be placed in Xinye, so Xuanjia Army can defeat Sun Pojun's strength.
Zhao Shan made a detailed plan and quickly made corresponding arrangements to prepare for the next attack on Xinye.
…
Xinye County, eighteen miles southwest.
This is a mountainous and forested area.
The more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Wu Kingdom led by Sun Pojun hid in the mountains and forests to wait for the opportunity. Sun Pojun's plan was simple, he hid in the mountains and waited for the opportunity.
In the mountains and forests.
Sun Pojun was sitting cross-legged against a big tree, closing his eyes to relax. He is nearly forty years old, with a beard like a steel needle under his chin, and his angular facial features are very tough, giving people a sharp-edged feeling.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came.
A sentinel quickly ran back, stood next to Sun Pojun, and reported: "General!"
Sun Pojun asked: "Has the letter been delivered?"
The sentry said: "Delivered!"
Sun Pojun asked: "How is the current situation in Xinye County?"
The sentinel told the news that Li Buyi led his troops to fight, but was defeated and captured alive by Zhao Shan. He also told the news that Sun Pojun was able to stabilize Zhao Rui due to timely rain.
Zhao Rui is currently staying in Xinye County to continue the defense.
After introducing the general situation, the sentry continued: "General, Zhao Rui will defend Xinye, consume Zhao Shan's troops, and create opportunities for us to attack Zhao Shan. In other aspects, there is no more news."
Sun Pojun gently tapped the sword on his knee. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Li Buyi was defeated. Are there any specific details about Zhao Shan's casualties?"
"No!"
The sentry shook his head and said: "Li Buyi also doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. He only knows that he is being captured."
Sun Pojun snorted and said mockingly: "The dignified Li Buyi, a great general, was defeated directly. What a waste. I thought that Li Buyi, as a person with the same name as Wei Polu, could stop Zhao Shan, but I didn't expect it to be like this. ."
"It seems that in the confrontation with Zhao Shan, we have to rely on this general to take action."
"Pass my military order. All the sentinels who have dispersed will keep an eye on Zhao Shan's army for twelve hours. If Zhao Shan's army makes any rash moves, report the news immediately."
"I am going to capture Zhao Shan alive."
"Taking down Zhao Shan as emperor will further create a path to heaven for King Wu."
Sun Pojun also had ambition in his eyes.
Zhao Rui is a member of the Daqian clan and has the idea of ascending to the throne. Zhao Gou was the king of Wu in the Great Qian Dynasty. He controlled the land south of Yangzhou and had the idea of ascending to the throne.
Zhao Gou now supports Zhao Rui, not to form an alliance with Zhao Rui, but to use Zhao Rui to consume Zhao Shan's power in preparation for defeating Zhao Shan. If Zhao Shan is killed one day, Zhao Gou will attack Zhao Rui in the blink of an eye.
After receiving Sun Pojun's instructions, the sentry turned around and left in a hurry.
