"What kind of virtue, I lost the battle, but I gave Gongzi your face, Gongzi, just slaughtered him and took away his soldiers and horses!" Zhou Cang whispered indignantly.

Su Zhe was cold, and said in a low voice: "Zifeng, don't shout and kill if you don't agree, now is not the time to turn your face with them, sooner or later I will let them see my face." ”

Zhou Cang's anger calmed down slightly, and he stopped making a sound.

Su Zhe turned around and followed, one after the other, and went to the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as he entered the Chinese army's tent, Liu Qi sat down in pain, and Wang Wei hurriedly called the doctor to come and treat his ear injury.

Su Zhe stood there without saying a word, looking at Liu Qi's painful look, watching his ears being wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, completely losing the temperament of a noble son.

After taking medicine and dressing up the wound, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Zhe still didn't speak, just stood there quietly, waiting for Liu Qi to speak first.

Before, Liu Qi didn't give Su Zhe a good look, because he was so confident that he wanted to attack immediately, but he ended in failure, and he was ashamed to face Su Zhe, and he was angry.

Now that he calmed down, he realized that he was indeed underestimating the enemy, and regretted that he had not listened to Su Zhe's advice at the beginning.

It's just that he was ashamed to ask Su Zhe for a plan, so he had to look at Yi Ji and asked, "I didn't expect that the water thief surnamed Gan does have some ability, Yi Jibo, do you have any tricks to break the enemy?" ”

Yi Yuan scratched his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "If you want to break through the enemy camp, you can only attack head-on, but the Jinfan thief water battle is too strong, and our frontal attack is not his opponent. ”

The word for help pierced Liu Qi's heart like a needle, and his body was shocked, and his brows were furrowed.

If he asks for help from Xiangyang, it will be tantamount to admitting his incompetence and letting the people of Jingzhou know that their eldest son is not the material to lead the troops.

Discredited, prestige lost, such a blow, he can't accept it no matter what.

Liu Qi glanced at Su Zhe and coughed dryly, suggesting that Su Zhe took the initiative to offer a plan so that he could have a step down.

Su Zhe sat there on his knees, not squinting, not saying a word, pretending not to see.

"Su Zhe, you don't want to give me face......"

Liu Qi was secretly annoyed, hesitated for a moment, struggled for a moment, and finally had to put down his body.

"Ahem." Liu Qi coughed lightly a few times to hide his discomfort, and sighed lightly: "Ziming, this son should listen to you, and he shouldn't be in a hurry to attack, that Jinfan thief is indeed a powerful character." ”

He finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he gave up his hand and comforted: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the eldest prince doesn't have to care too much." ”

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was only a little passable, so he asked with a smile: "Ziming, in your opinion, how should we break the enemy now?" ”

"Didn't Xia Guan say yesterday that after five days, Xia Guan will have his own way to break the thief." Su Zhe's words were understated, and he looked confident.

Liu Qi didn't dare to disbelieve him, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what kind of trick Ziming has?" ”

"Heaven must not be divulged." Su Zhe still refused to reveal it, but said confidently: "But if the eldest prince is willing to hand over the rest of the soldiers, horses and warships to the command of the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely destroy this group of water thieves for the prince." ”

Liu Qi was silent and fell into a tangle again.

Handing over the soldiers and horses to Su Zhe is equivalent to giving up the position of the commander to Su Zhe, and even if the water thieves are swept away at that time, this credit will not be monopolized.

Moreover, his dream of rescuing Huang Yueying with his own hands and winning the hearts of beauties will be shattered.

He was really unwilling, so he made Su Zhe show off.

At this time, Yi Yuan stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Childe, only by breaking the water thief first can we maintain the prestige of the eldest prince, and the rest are secondary, please think twice about the eldest prince." ”

Liu Qi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized that at this point, everything else was hopeless, and it would be good to keep his reputation.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi had to bite secretly, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face: "Defeating the water thieves, retaking the grain and grass, and eliminating harm for the people is the top priority, since Ziming is so confident, this son will hand over all the soldiers and horses under his command to you for disposal." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Wei, an old senior, became anxious on the spot and shouted: "Childe, you told us to obey this hairy boy?" ”

Liu Qi's eyes widened, and he shouted: "This is this Gongzi's order, what's the matter, do you still want to disobey!?" ”

Wang Wei choked on his nose, so he could only close his mouth sullenly, not daring to have any more objections.

After subduing Wang Wei, Liu Qi handed over the talisman to Su Zhe, and said: "Ziming, the remaining two thousand soldiers and horses, thirty warships, and this son will all be handed over to you, so you can give the order." ”

"Thank you for the trust of the eldest prince, then the next official is welcome."

Su Zhe took the talisman, lit up in front of everyone, and said in a casual tone: "Pass the order, let the big guy eat and drink enough, and nourish his spirit, and in four days, he will be a big water thief." ”

The first command, eat and drink to your heart's content!

Liu Qi and Wang Wei, as well as Yi nationality, looked at each other, all of them were suspicious of Su Zhe's military order.

Then, Su Zhe picked up another pen to repair the book, and shouted: "Come on, send this letter to the thief camp, hand it over to the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, and say that this son invited him to be on the water for a while tomorrow." ”

A while on the water!?

Everyone looked even more suspicious, and they couldn't guess what Su Zhe meant.

Liu Qi couldn't help but ask: "Ziming, you told the soldiers to recuperate, and I still understand that the soldiers are not moving, but what do you want to do if you want to have a meeting with that water thief river?" ”

Su Zhe said lightly: "This water thief can defeat the eldest prince, there must be something extraordinary, the lower officials want to see his demeanor, and secondly, they will see if they can take the opportunity to persuade him to surrender." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Liu Qi was speechless, stunned in place, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Wei shouted: "What are you kidding, that Jinfan thief just broke us today, and he is still arrogant at the moment, how could he be surrendered by you in a few words?" ”

"Anything is possible, but how do you know if you don't give it a try." Su Zhe said with a smile.

Wang Wei was speechless and looked at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi came back to his senses at this time, and naturally had a hundred doubts about Su Zhe's decision in his heart, but since the military power had been decentralized, it was difficult to say anything.

At that moment, he had to cough a few times and said: "My son also thinks that it is impossible to persuade the water thief, but Ziming, since you insist on this, let it be up to you." ”

"In that case, then the lower official will go back to rest first, I got up early in the morning, and I was really a little sleepy......" Su Zhe yawned as he spoke.

Liu Qi smiled and brushed his hands, "Ziming is tired, so go back and rest early." ”

Su Zhe stretched his waist, yawned, and retreated.

Sending Su Zhe away with a smile, the smile on Liu Qi's face faded instantly, his eyes were deeply gloomy, and he muttered: "Yi Jibo is right, this Su Ziming is getting more and more difficult to control, it seems that I have to give him a look at the color, so that he can serve me honestly!" ”
