"My lord-" Li Yan woke up from the shock, and finally couldn't stand it, intending to stop it.

Su Zhe didn't wait for him to speak, then waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say more.

Li Yan was stunned, although he had a stomach full of complaints, he had to keep his mouth shut and didn't dare to say more.

On the school field, those reorganized and subordinate soldiers, after thanking Su Zhe for their gratitude and gratitude, hesitated again and again, and finally some people began to get up and leave and walked to the camp gate.

The so-called gun shot the first bird, as long as someone takes the lead, it will be easy to do, and the rest of the soldiers got up one after another, bid farewell to Su Zhe, and left the camp.

Soon, nearly 4,000 people descended, and more than 3,000 people left one after another, and only less than seven or eight hundred people stayed where they were.

Su Zhe looked at those people and asked, "I have already allowed you to leave, why don't you leave?" ”

The seven or eight hundred people knelt down one after another, and one of the officers stepped forward and said angrily: "The lord treats us like this, how can we bear to turn our backs on the lord, we brothers, would rather abandon our family and business, but also swear to follow the lord to the death!" ”

Obviously, these seven or eight hundred soldiers were moved by Su Zhe's magnanimity, and they would rather risk their relatives being killed by Liu Biao to follow Su Zhe.

Su Zhe's heart couldn't help but feel hot, he jumped off the platform, helped those who stayed behind, and said with a relieved face: "Okay! It is the blessing of my Su Zhe to have you to follow, and I Su Zhe will live and die with you, and share wealth and prosperity! ”

The bold promises made those soldiers even more excited, and they bowed down at Su Zhe's feet again.

Su Zhe's unexpected actions made Fu Shou on the stage look very clearly, and his eyes couldn't help but show strange colors.

She couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Old General Yizhen, what is the purpose of Su Qing's move?" ”

Huangfu Song looked appreciative and exclaimed: "This Su Ziming's methods are really clever, if he does this, those soldiers who are let go will inevitably trumpet his benevolence and righteousness, and he does have a hand in winning people's hearts." ”

Only then did Fu Shou suddenly realize that he understood Su Zhe's intentions, and between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but show appreciation.

As for the generals, after Su Zhe appeased the soldiers who were left behind, he ordered them to disperse, return to their respective battalions, and continue to be loyal to their duties.

After returning to Jiangtai, Su Zhe bowed his hand to Fu Shouyi: "The matter was in a hurry, the minister did not squeak with Niangniang in advance, and asked Niangniang to forgive me." ”

"Su Qing's words are serious." Fu Shou smiled and flicked his hand, "You are the marshal of the three armies, so you naturally have the right to make decisions, and you don't need to report to the palace." ”

After that, Fu Shou couldn't help but admire: "But Su Qing, you really surprised the palace, the palace thought that you were going to execute those deserters to deter them, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to let them go, to dare to win the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, even the old general Yizhen praised you for your clever means." ”

"The mother has won the prize." Su Zhe smiled modestly.

At this time, Gan Ning, Hu Che'er and other generals understood Su Zhe's deep meaning, and they were all impressed by Su Zhe's methods.

Li Yan naturally understood Su Zhe's intentions, but he was worried: "The lord's move, although it has the wonderful purpose of winning people's hearts, just let go of so many recruits and subordinates at once, wouldn't our previous strict defense be in vain, and with so many soldiers and horses, we simply don't have enough troops to capture Xiangyang City." ”

As soon as Li Yan reminded him, Huangfu Song's expression moved, and he suddenly sobered up.

He also said: "Su Cheqi, this Li Zhengfang is reasonable, although your move is to win people's hearts, but you have also lost the strength to capture Xiangyang." ”

In the face of the doubts of the two of them, Su Zhe sighed: "These people were threatened by Liu Biao, and their will to fight has long been exhausted, do you think that even if I don't let them go and detain them in the camp reluctantly, can they still come in handy and attack the city for me?" ”

Huangfu Song and Li Yan were shocked, and suddenly realized the hardships of Su Zhe's move.

As Su Zhe said, these soldiers are in turmoil, and it is impossible for them to work hard for him to attack the city.

Moreover, it is still a potential danger to keep these people who have dissenting intentions in the camp, in case Liu Biao comes to rob the camp one day, and then these soldiers will rebel in the camp, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In this case, it is better to let them go, Su Zhe can also win a name of benevolence and righteousness, and use the mouths of these people to collect the hearts of the people of Jingzhou.

After Li Yan thoroughly understood Su Zhe's intentions, he naturally had no more doubts, so he didn't say anything more.

Huangfu Song sighed: "It turns out that you have such good intentions, no matter what, it is not a bad idea to do this, then we will prepare as soon as possible and return to Jiangbei." ”

"Return to Jiangbei?" Su Zhe's face was puzzled, "We haven't captured this Xiangyang City yet, why is the old general Yizhen in a hurry to return to Jiangbei?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned again and fell into a new surprise.

Huangfu Song's face was full of doubts, and he asked rhetorically: "If you let go of these thousands of soldiers, isn't it equivalent to giving up the possibility of attacking Xiangyang, in this case, if we don't retreat to Jiangbei, what are we doing here?" ”

Su Zhe said with a straight face: "Who said that I was going to give up attacking Xiangyang, I said a long time ago that conquering Xiangyang is the key to Kuangfu Sheji, if Xiangyang is not broken, I will never retreat!" ”

Silent.

Huangfu Song, Li Yan, and Fu Shou all looked at Su Zhe with surprised eyes, as if they thought their ears had misheard.

After a while, Fu Shoucai questioned his face: "Su Qing, the old generals of Shicai and Yizhen have also said that without these thousands of soldiers and horses, we simply don't have enough troops to capture Xiangyang, and now you say that you will not give up if you don't break Xiangyang, aren't you a little contradictory?" ”

"The minister doesn't have enough soldiers and horses, but that doesn't mean that the minister has no way to capture Xiangyang." A playful smirk crossed the corner of Su Zhe's mouth.

Fu Shou was stunned, a little surprise welled up in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Su Qing thought of some clever plan to break the enemy?" ”

Su Zhe said with a smile: "The magic plan is indeed there, but the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed, please allow the minister to sell a pass, I believe that in a few days, Niang Niang will know the answer." ”

When Fu Shou heard him say that he had a clever plan, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he couldn't wait to ask what Su Zhe's plan was.

When the words came to his lips, Fu Shou felt that he had lost his queen's calm demeanor, so he said lightly: "Since this is the case, then the palace will sit and watch Su Qing's performance." ”

"Su Cheqi, what kind of trick do you have, you might as well say it bluntly, there are no outsiders here, why bother to make a fool of yourself in front of your mother." Huangfu Song was not as good as Fu Shou, and asked unhappily.

"Oh, it's not early, it's time to eat, everyone disperse, go back to their own homes, and eat their own meals."

Su Zhe pretended not to hear, looked at him left and right, rubbed his stomach and posed as hungry, and walked away with a smile.

Li Yan and the other generals, although they had doubts, they all knew that their lord had always been clever, and maybe this time would be no exception.

As a result, the generals could only press their doubts and disperse.

On the stage, only Fu Shou and Huangfu Song remained.

Fu Shou lowered his voice and asked, "Old General Yizhen, what kind of trick can he come up with to break Xiangyang?" ”

Huangfu frowned, shook his head and said: "This person seems to be careless, but the city is extremely deep, and his wisdom is unfathomable. ”

Fu Shou's heart was shocked, and deep curiosity surged in his eyes, but he sighed: "That's it, we don't have to guess more, this Su Ziming has not disappointed this palace so far, I hope he won't mess up this time." ”

She muttered to herself, looking at Su Zhe's young back, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of dependence in her heart.

"In the world, the person I can rely on can only be the Son of Heaven, Fu Shou, Fu Shou, what do you think......

Fu Shou shook his head and laughed at himself, took a few deep breaths, and forcibly gave up the inexplicable thought.

……

Xiangyang City.

In the state capital, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and the meat is fragrant.

In the main hall, Liu Biaozheng set up a small banquet and drank with all the civil and military personnel.

Liu Biao drank cup after cup, talked and laughed vigorously, and regained the demeanor of a celebrity and gentleman, with a rare smile on his face.

Recently, hundreds of Soviet soldiers have abandoned the darkness and defected to his command again, proving that Xu Shu's strategy has worked.

When the soldiers fled, the Soviet army would not only have to be unstable and unstable, but the number of soldiers and horses would also be greatly weakened, which was naturally what Liu Biao was happy to see.

And today Liu Biao received news that the Changsha Army commanded by Cai Mao, with the veteran general Huang Zhong as the vanguard of counterinsurgency, has regained Wuling County, and the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang in the south are frightened and have expressed their willingness to surrender.

The rebellion in the three counties of Jingnan has been quelled, and Cai Mao has already led a large army across the river and is on his way from Jiangling to Xiangyang.

With the increase in the strength of his own army and the reduction of the strength of the Soviet army, Liu Biao not only saw the hope of holding Xiangyang, but even saw the possibility of gathering Su Zhe under the city of Xiangyang.

In a good mood, Liu Biao set up this banquet.

"What about Mr. Yuanzhi, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Liu Biao asked with a smile, as a donor, Liu Biao naturally wanted to greatly praise Xu Shu, and personally sent his second son Liu Cong to invite him.

Liu Cong arched his hand and said: "Back to my father, when my son went to the pavilion, Mr. Yuan Zhi had already left, and he left a message, saying that he was going to go to Xiakou in person to persuade Huang Zu to raise troops to the north and come to the rescue of Xiangyang. ”

Hearing that Xu Shu said goodbye without saying goodbye, Liu Biao smiled and showed a little dissatisfaction.

Kuai Yue said: "The lord summoned Huang Zu several times, Huang Zu has always been perfunctory and unwilling to send troops, if this Xu Yuanzhi can really persuade Huang Zu, when the Jiang Xia soldiers and Changsha soldiers arrive, the number of our army will be several times that of the Su thieves, maybe we can really take advantage of the situation to annihilate the Su thieves under the city of Xiangyang." ”

Liu Biao, who was originally calm, suddenly turned cloudy and sunny when he heard this, nodded and smiled: "Not bad, yes, the difference is reasonable, this Mr. Yuanzhi is not an ordinary person, with him personally going out, he will definitely be able to convince Huang Zu!" ”

After that, Liu Biao was in a happy mood, and his confidence was wildly burning, and he couldn't help sneering: "Su thief, Su thief, you have finally met your nemesis now, Xu Yuanzhi came to assist the mansion, it is really heaven to destroy you, hahaha~~"

Triumphant laughter echoed in the lobby.
