Chapter 160: A Great Gift

Iraqi?

Including Su Zhe, everyone in the city showed a trace of strangeness.

Everyone knows that Yi is the person of the eldest prince Liu Qi, and this time Cai Mao committed the crime in the north, and played the role of his adviser.

And at this critical moment, Yi came to Xinye alone, and said that he had something important to visit Su Zhe, how could he not make people curious.

"The surname Yi seems to be Liu Qi's person, lord, do you want me to go down and smash him with a hammer?" Hu Che'er's eyes were bloodshot.

"Don't be like your righteous brother, shouting and shouting at every turn, you want to smash people, at least give people a chance to speak, it's not too late."

Su Zhe "educated" Hu Che'er, and then ordered the city gate to be opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the Yi nationality was allowed to enter.

A moment later, Su Zhegao was sitting in the tower, and Yi was escorted in.

"Shanyang people are from Yi, meet Su Fu Yin." When he reported his home, he only mentioned his hometown, but did not mention his official position.

Just by reporting to his family, Su Zhe saw some clues.

"Excuse me." Su Zhe flicked his hand and said lightly: "Yi Jibo, you are giving advice by Cai Mao's side, but this dark night is coming to me alone, it won't be because you want to take me as an example, betray Liu Biao, and come to me as a traitor." ”

Yi Yuan was stunned, but he didn't expect Su Zhe to be so free and easy, and he didn't stick to his name, and he actually laughed at himself as a "traitor".

After reacting, Yi Ji smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "I'm really ashamed to be seen by Su Fu Yin, that's right, I did come to Su Fu Yin." ”

Really.

As an enemy strategist, but running to Xinye at night, it is not a defection, what else can it be.

Su Zhe did not immediately show the demeanor of Corporal Lixian, and asked: "Those people in Xiangyang all look down on me Su Zhe's background, when I am a traitor and a careerist, why did you take the initiative to defect, there must be a reason." ”

Yi Zhengse said: "In the troubled times, heroes don't ask about their origins, and the ancestors didn't also start from a small pavilion chief, and this kind of thing has never been a necessary condition for the hero." ”

He walked in his hand and said sarcastically: "In order to avoid the war in the Central Plains, he fled to Jingzhou, and he can be regarded as working under Liu Jingsheng for a period of time, and he has already seen through the Liu family's father and son and those so-called celebrities in Jingxiang, but they are just a group of short-sighted people. ”

After that, he showed admiration on his face again, and arched his hand: "After observing Su Fu Yin for a long time, I decided that Su Fu Yin was the Wolong in the world and the lord of pacifying the troubled times, so I decided to come to Shun Su Fu Yin, saddle up the horse and make a little effort." ”

After hearing his words, Su Zhe was a little fluttering, thinking that this Yi nationality was worthy of being a scholar, and this compliment's eloquence was indeed worthy of his reputation, and he was compared to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who was extremely comfortable to listen to.

"Ji Bo has an overreputation, how dare I compare with Gao Zu, you are trying to kill me." Su Zhe humbled himself, obviously maintaining a calm heart.

Having said that, he still smiled and said, "Since you are sincere to come to me, then we will work together from now on to achieve great things together." ”

Yi was once Liu Qi's cronies, and he was the first person to defect to him among the group of celebrities and high-ranking officials under Liu Biao, which is of extraordinary significance, and Su Zhe certainly has no reason not to accept it.

His voice fell, but Li Yan said coldly and sarcastically: "I heard that Yi Jibo is the best at choosing the master, so he didn't come to defect early, but he just saw that the lord had the momentum of sudden rise, and he really would pick the opportunity." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yi Yuan suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

However, he was not ashamed, but said calmly: "In today's troubled times, not only the lord chooses the minister, but also the minister chooses the lord. ”

When Li Yan was still about to ridicule, Yi Yuan said again: "What's more, I didn't come in vain, I came this time to bring a big gift to the lord, which can be regarded as making up for my mistake of not coming to the lord earlier." ”

Gift?

Su Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up, and he brushed his hands and said: "It's better to defect early and late than not to defect, Uncle Ji doesn't have to have a knot, but I really want to hear what kind of gift you brought me." ”

"This big gift is to break Cai Mao!" Yi said loudly.

Break Cai Mao!

Hearing these four words, everyone's spirits perked up, and even the sarcastic look on Li Yan's face couldn't help but suppress it.

"How to break Cai Mao's method, let's listen to it." Su Zhe was silent on the surface, but his mood was excited.

Yi Ji said: "The lord must have known that Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao's class to teach Xiangyang, Cai Mao disobeyed, but he was taken away by Wenpin with 20,000 horses, and many soldiers fled along the way, and now his army is panicked and demoralized." ”

"That Cai Mao is stubborn, doesn't listen to advice, and has to continue to attack Xinye, now that he has consumed all the grain and grass, he plans to break the kettle and sink the boat early tomorrow morning and attack Xinye."

"This great gift of mine is to ask the lord to do his best tonight, taking advantage of Cai Mao's negligence and his army's low morale, to attack the enemy camp at night, and I will definitely be able to break Cai Mao in one go!"

The spirits of the people were all lifted.

Su Zhe's eyes also lit up.

From the information of the scouts, he had already come up with the idea of raiding the enemy camp, and now that the Iraqi came to defect, he made the enemy's reality clear, and strengthened his idea.

Yi's strategy is exactly what he wants.

"If that's the case, this is indeed a good opportunity to break Cai Mao." Li Yan also nodded in agreement, although he ridiculed the late defection of the Yi nationality, but did not doubt his motive for coming to defect.

Gan Ning said coldly: "Lord, although this plan sounds wonderful, if this is Cai Mao's trick, he deliberately sent this Yi to come and deceive us to surrender and offer a plan, so as to lure us out of the city and rob the camp, and when the time comes, they have already prepared, but we will fall into the scheme." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yi Yuan suddenly became angry, and said sharply: "My Yi nationality is too late to defect to the lord, but how can you doubt my sincerity, I am willing to go to the camp with the lord, if I really surrender, the lord can kill me with a knife to relieve my hatred." ”

Speaking of this, Gan Ning was also choked back, and it was hard to say anything.

Su Zhe could see that Yi's defection was sincere, and he was not from a big family, so he must not be very good at mixing with Liu Biao, otherwise he would not be just a small scholar.

With his official position, he should not be grateful to the Liu family to the point where he is willing to sacrifice himself, unless he is a fool.

Obviously, Yi is not stupid, otherwise he would not have defected to the weak Liu Bei in history, this person is still very discerning.

Thinking of this, Su Zhe patted Yi Ji on the shoulder and said happily: "Don't be excited, of course I believe in you, I will use your plan, and we will achieve great success tonight." ”

"Thank you for your trust." The mood of the Iraqis has improved.

Su Zhe took a deep breath, slowly stood up, glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "Cai Mao is arrogant and arrogant, and he wants to destroy us in one fell swoop, and now he has lifted a stone and smashed his own feet, half of the soldiers and horses have been reduced, and the morale has also fallen to the bottom, it is a good time for us to defend and attack, how can we let it go!" ”

These words indicate that Su Zhe has made up his mind and is ready to attack.

In front of the hall, Li Yan Ganning and Hu Che'er, the blood of the three generals was wildly burning, and the fighting intent was burning on their faces.

Hu Che'er swiped a sledgehammer and scolded excitedly: "Lord, you just give the order, I hold my breath for a long time in this city, and I want to kill it today." ”

The rest of the generals were also full of emotion and blood.

The morale of the generals was high and they were eager to fight, Su Zhe was relieved and more confident.

He took a deep breath again, drew his long sword, and said proudly: "Pass my general order, seven thousand soldiers will go out at three o'clock in the afternoon, and follow me to rob the enemy camp at night and kill him upside down!" ”

In the tower, the blood burns wildly.

Although Su Zhe had decided to take the initiative, he still maintained some calm, after all, the number of Jingzhou soldiers was 18,000, more than twice that of his own army, so he should not be careless.

It's just that at this moment, the decisive factor in the outcome of the war is not the number of troops, but the level of morale.

After the previous success of defending the city, the self-confidence of the Soviet army has risen greatly, and the morale of the soldiers is high, while the morale of the enemy is low, the morale has fallen to the bottom, and there has even been a flight of soldiers, and it has intensified.

There is such a huge difference in spiritual morale, which is why Su Zhe dared to use the Yi strategy.

So, after consulting with everyone, Su Zhe decided to divide 7,000 soldiers and horses into three ways to rob the camp.

Among the three routes of soldiers and horses, Su Zhe took the 800 iron cavalry led by Hu Che'er as the core, led 2,000 men and horses, and launched an attack from the middle.

Li Yan and Gan Ning led 2,000 soldiers and horses to attack the enemy camp from the left and right flanks.

The three groups of men and horses left the city from the east and west gates of Xinye, secretly assembled in the north of the enemy camp in the middle of the night, and launched an attack before dawn.

After the deployment of the battle plan, Su Zhe bowed his hand to the generals and said solemnly: "The success or failure of this battle is related to whether we can get rid of the threat of Liu Biao. ”

"I am willing to fight to the death for the Lord's referendum!"

"I am willing to fight to the death for the Lord's referendum!"

Li Yan and other generals were also enthusiastic and responded generously.

The order was passed down, and the 7,000 Soviet soldiers in the city all had a full meal and fell asleep with a fighting spirit and armor.

The moon rises and the moon sets, and before I realize it's nearly late at night, it won't take long for it to turn white in the east.

Su Zhe looked back at the city, but saw that the seven thousand soldiers had been assembled, and all the young faces were burning with fierce battle intent, and a pair of excited eyes were looking up at him, waiting for him to give an order.

Su Zhe glanced at the direction of the enemy camp again, confided in the murderous intent in the eagle's eyes, raised his sword in his hand, and shouted: "The time has come, the whole army will go out of the city and rob the enemy camp at night with me!" ”

The order was laid, the city gate opened with a bang, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered.

Su Zhe stepped down from the city, turned over his horse, jumped out of the city gate, and seven thousand soldiers followed, according to the prior plan, they went out of Xinye City, and under the leadership of the generals, they marched towards their designated battle positions.

Under the cover of the sky, when the east turned white, the soldiers and horses of the three roads were already in place.

A battle of counter-offensive is about to start!
