A rare peaceful day.

When the sky was dark, a horse rode out of the Liu family's camp and came to the bottom of the dock fort.

"General Li, Liu Su of the Liu clan asks to see you!"

The man turned over and dismounted, raised his hands in the air, and strode towards the dock fort.

A moment later, a rope hung down on the dock fort, and Liu Suleng strode forward for a moment, grabbed the rope with both hands, and struggled to climb up.

The walls were extremely slippery due to the snow and ice, and it was hard for your feet to step on them. This made the process of Liu Su's upward climb extremely difficult, but this person had a tenacity, tied the rope around his waist, and climbed up the towering dock fort little by little with the strength of his arms, and when he reached the top of the fort, his forehead was already full of sweat beads.

"It's a man." An officer of the Right Guard walked over, looked at him, and said, "Our General Li is waiting for you!" ”

Liu Su nodded, raised his hands high, and the officer was not polite, came up and groped, and confirmed that the other party was not carrying a weapon, so he turned around and walked inside with him.

Li Rui and Gu Han were drinking while roasting the fire, while Liu Yan was tied to a pillar on one side, sitting on the cold ground, his head drooping, and as soon as Liu Su came in, his eyes fell on Liu Yan's body.

"Liu Su, right? To be able to climb up like this, and dare to come, is really a brave general. Li Rui motioned to the soldier to take another chair and put it opposite him and Gu Han: "Sit down, you are still worth sitting down and drinking a glass of wine." ”

took the wine from Li Rui's hand, but Liu Su didn't drink it himself, but walked to the pillar, squatted down, helped Liu Yan's head, and poured him this cup of warm wine.

"Don't worry, he's not dead." Li Rui said lazily: "The injuries on his body were caused when the house collapsed, and we bandaged him!" ”

As if to confirm Li Rui's words, a glass of warm wine was in his stomach, and Liu Yan's breathing became heavier.

Liu Su nodded, walked back, and sat in front of Li Rui.

"Our patriarch asked me to ask, what are the conditions for you to release the second son?"

Li Rui laughed: "I really didn't expect that Patriarch Liu would be so humorous?" The two armies faced each other, fighting to the death, I finally caught a big fish, it was the time for strange goods to live, do you say I am willing to let go? When it's time for you to attack, I will hang the second son on the wall, and let you return in vain, isn't it beautiful? ”

Liu Su smiled: "General Li is also very humorous, of course you also know that this is impossible to happen." ”

"In this way, Patriarch Liu doesn't value this second son too much? Liu Yan, are you awake, do you hear clearly? Li Rui laughed and turned his head.

"General Li doesn't need to sow discord." Liu Su said: "The patriarch attaches great importance to every child of the Liu family, so I have this line." ”

"He doesn't worry, and he's not afraid that I'm afraid that you will also be detained, and now the hostages will change from one to two." Li Rui said.

"The second son was captured on the battlefield, that's nothing to say, I'm here as a messenger, but I'm not worried about this." Liu Su said with a smile: "The patriarch said that General Li is a famous general, so he will not be so shameless." ”

"Who said that? I've always been shameless, and I'll do anything for the sake of victory. Li Rui snorted: "But Liu Siyuan doesn't even care about his own second son, so naturally he doesn't care about you, and it's useless to detain you." ”

A trace of anger flashed across Liu Su's face.

"General Li, make conditions! You're also a smart person, you don't want to hold a strange thing in your hand and end up with nothing, right? ”

"In this way, Patriarch Liu really won't retreat?" Li Rui looked at Liu Su playfully.

"Of course." Liu Su nodded and said: "A piece of big fat meat, I have already eaten most of it to my mouth, how can there be a reason to give up halfway!" ”

"Don't even want your own son?"

"When our army besieged Zhenzhou, Li Xiang's father, Li Anguo, Li Junwang, once said that if someone else's son dies, my son's son will also die!" Liu Su Zhengse said: "The patriarch feels sorry for his son, and is willing to make some efforts and pay some price in exchange for the second son, but it does not mean that he can withdraw from the army and make a truce." ”

"I understand, that is, I can ask for some benefits, and then let Liu Yan go, let's two of us, and then continue to fight, right?" Li Rui said with a smile.

"Not bad. But also General Li is not excessive, and it is within our tolerance. ”

"That's good, 1,000 loads of grain, 5,000 catties of charcoal, I don't want more, you can't take out more, what's the matter, this is not a high demand, right?" Li Rui didn't think about it, and said directly.

Liu Su was stunned, "It turns out that General Li has already made plans, right?" ”

"Yes, a worthless guy like Kan Yan is naturally a knife to count, but a good product like Liu Yan's second son is naturally going to be sold for a price, although it is not a good price, but it will not make me lose all my money, right?" Li Rui laughed.

"Then it's decided, I'll go back and prepare what the general wants overnight." Liu Suhuo stood up.

"No, no, no!" Li Rui shook his finger: "Tonight, please rest in the castle, and you go back tomorrow, when you have an hour to prepare what I want." At this point in time, I'm going to regret it! ”

"What do you mean, General?" Liu Su was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Li Rui meant, and said angrily: "The general looks down on people so much? ”

"I have to guard against it, I have to guard against it!" Li Rui laughed, "After all, we are enemies!" ”

"Okay, since that's the case, can General Li be polite to my second son?" Liu Su pointed to Liu Yan on the ground.

"Of course, of course, he is worth a thousand loads of grain and five thousand catties of charcoal." Li Rui summoned an officer: "Change the place for the second son, let the military doctor take a closer look at him, so as not to find any secret injuries, and when the time comes, say that I, Li Rui, are not trustworthy, give him a little warmth in the house, and get him some delicious food, we have to send a lively second son back, and let Patriarch Liu see our credit." ”

Liu Yan was taken away, and Liu Su was immediately arranged to another place.

"Why a thousand quintals of grain and five thousand catties of charcoal?" Gu Han asked.

Li Rui smiled: "Five thousand catties of charcoal is really a casual thing, if you can get a little more, everyone will have a warmer night life." A thousand loads of grain, I have carefully calculated. Liu Siyuan outside, there are 30,000 people in total, and even if the consumption of a year is 30,000 catties of grain, the reserve of his army will not exceed ten days. He has been fighting with us for three days and today is four days, which means that his military food reserves will have five or six days at most, and I asked for a thousand quintals at once, so I went to about three days of grain, and he only has one or two days of grain left, and it will take a few days for him to transport grain from the rear, right? So, my real purpose is not food, but time. ”

"Liu Siyuan is not sure that he will defeat us here in a day or two, so he can only do it leisurely!" Gu Han suddenly realized: "Sure enough, there are articles everywhere, these things can only be understood by a battlefield general like General Li, just reading books and military books, you can't understand it." ”

"Childe told us a long time ago that if anyone fights according to the book of war, he will probably not understand how to die if he dies. The book talks about the law, and it is a universal thing, but every war is ever-changing, and there are different ways of fighting because of people, events, places, and any special conditions. Li Rui said with a smile: "Childe also said that at first, he also thought that he had read a lot of military books and knew countless classic cases, but as soon as he appeared, he was severely hit, and after such a thing appeared several times in a row, he really understood this truth." ”

"I haven't heard that Li Xiang has lost a battle!" Gu Han asked strangely.

"It was Shi Zhuang and Tu Lichun who attacked Gongzi. At the beginning, Childe enthusiastically formulated a lot of tactical plays, which were completely refuted by these people, and the final facts proved that these people were correct, that is, from when did Childe only formulate big strategic plans, as for how the generals fought, he no longer asked. Anyway, as long as the result is the childe, if the generals lose, it will be the general's problem. ”

"What if Li Xiang's strategy is wrong?" Gu Han asked.

Li Rui laughed: "Judge Gu, you understand this better than me, if the grand strategy is wrong, then we will all be finished, haha!" ”

"That's right!" Gu Han smiled to himself.

"It's okay, then let's go to sleep, we can get a good night's sleep today." Li Rui said.

"We are surrounded now, the news here can't be sent, the news from outside can't come in, I don't know what the situation is when General Liu is down!" Gu Han was still a little uneasy.

"Let's do what we have to do, and the rest is General Liu's business." Li Rui said lightly: "That's not something I can control, and I don't worry about it." Go to sleep, Judge Gu, Liu Siyuan can't gnaw on us. ”

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Su slipped down the rope again, and in an hour, he needed to prepare 1,000 loads of grain and 5,000 charcoal, and the time was still quite tight.

Li Rui and Gu Han stood on the city wall, watching Liu Su disappear from their field of vision.

"Will Liu Siyuan agree?"

"Yes, in his eyes, we are already fish on the felt board, and it doesn't matter if we have some food." Li Rui said: "So Judge Gu, there is absolutely no problem with our food, everyone can eat enough to fight with him every day, and there is no need to cut down on food and clothing." ”

"It's a good feeling to eat the enemy's food and slaughter the enemy." Gu Han suddenly laughed.

"This is how I feel about each other, too!"

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

In just half an hour, there was movement from the camp opposite.

Groups of Liu soldiers came out, but instead of armor, they carried bags of grain, carried them not far from the city, stacked them neatly on the ground, and then retreated.

Above the city, several soldiers of the Right Guard fell down the rope and went to check.
