Lu Xiong was very sad.

When he saw Yang Juan leading three thousand cavalry into the formation, he led his troops to greet him, but he was repulsed in two rounds. After all, when the cavalry phalanx was met without preparation, the infantry had no choice but to escape.

The cavalry was defeated, and finally encountered a tattered army thinking it was a soft persimmon, and wanted to take it down to decorate the façade for itself, and at the same time, it could be regarded as a change of direction. But he never expected that this group of tattered troops was also an iron plate, not only an iron plate, but even more impermeable than the cavalry.

Not to mention anything else, just the big man with an iron rod charging forward like an iron tower, it can be said that he meets a god and kills a Buddha and kills a Buddha, and an ordinary sergeant goes up with a stick.

As a result, the same failure.

Guo Cheng led the army to rampage in Luo Rucai's army, until Luo Rucai's army scattered in the dark and fled before he stopped, and slowly ran to the west gate of Shangqiu City, where Su Baiyi was located.

Su Baiyi had already ordered someone to go out of the city to greet him, and took Guo Cheng to the north gate and entered the city through the hole.

The first thing Guo Cheng said when he saw Su Baiyi when he entered the city was: "Master Su, do you remember Chengwu Guo Zhaoqing?" ”

Before Su Baiyi could answer, a lewd old man next to him jumped out and said, "Guo Zhaoqing, do you remember the old man?" ”

Guo Cheng saw that it was Shi Dian, and immediately laughed.

Su Baiyi hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have worked hard to summon Qing from thousands of miles away, this kindness and this feeling, Su Mou remembered the five." ”

"It's not as serious as adults say!" Guo Cheng put the iron rod on the ground and said: "It's only a two-day journey from Chengwu to here, I didn't hear the news from here earlier, otherwise I would have come a long time ago." ”

……

In Luo Rucai's military tent, the atmosphere was quite dull.

In the big tent, there is no pride in the court, no ambition to swallow the world, and no determination to be the emperor of Jinling.

All the generals sat around in a dull voice.

Song Zuzhi stood aside.

Luo Rucai's short figure was still like a mountain pressing on top of everyone's heads, and he walked around in the center of the big tent, every step he took was like stepping on the body of the generals.

Finally, he stopped, his eyes shrank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "We have been besieging Guide Mansion for almost ten days, except for the time when we almost succeeded in landing the city, everything else was led by Su Baiyi and hung by the nose, and we never fought a little cheaper." Of course, it's not that the brothers can't do it, it's not that the brothers don't have the heart and don't do their best, but that Su Baiyi...... Too evil.

Originally, the idea of the military division was excellent, we only need to besiege outside this Guide Mansion, and after a month, even if we can't get out of his city, but the 50,000 people in the city will eat, drink, and Lazar, and he Su Baiyi will definitely not be able to withstand it. But now, two groups of reinforcements have come in one day. As you have also seen, the combat effectiveness of those reinforcements is far beyond the reach of our soldiers and horses, so that the siege continues day by day, the enemy's reinforcements are increasing, and the morale of our soldiers is deteriorating.

Gather all your brothers today, and have no other meaning, but to say one thing. You all use your brains to think about it, what other way to deal with Su Baiyi, if the method proposed by anyone is effective, he will be our second position in the future. If you don't have a way, I think we'll ...... Withdraw! ”

Commanders, you look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks.

In the end, Song Zuzhi sighed, and then walked out and said: "Since the marshal has the courage to make a desperate bet, his subordinates will offer another plan for the marshal, as for whether it can be done, it can only depend on the will of heaven." ”

"Oh......" Luo Rucai glanced up at him in surprise.

To tell the truth, he just said a lot, analyzed the causes of the war, and asked the generals to come up with ideas, in fact, they were all looking for a step. His biggest wish at this moment is no longer Su Baiyi's 20 million taels of silver, but to leave quickly, the farther he goes, the better, and it is best never to meet that guy in the future.

But none of the generals on the scene understood his thoughts, and none of them dared to say that they would retreat.

This Song Zuzhi is also right, what ideas do you have if you have nothing to do?

Luo Rucai is not complaining about him, because Song Zuzhi is indeed a rare subordinate, he thinks clearly and does things shrewdly, and he can often point to the joints of things in one sentence.

But he really didn't want to fight, in just these ten days, he had already lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers and more than 10,000 homeless people, if he continued to fight, he could only lose more.

"What else does the military advisor have to do? Hurry up and share your worries for this handsome! Luo Rucai made a look like a corporal of Lixian, but his eyes no longer had the original brilliance.

He just asked out of respect, and did not expect Song Zuzhi to make constructive suggestions.

"Dashuai!" Song Zuzhi arched his hand and said: "The minister has a plan, he can force Su Baiyi to surrender!" ”

"What?" Luo Rucai looked at He Song Zuzhi like a fool, shook his head and said, "Mr. Song, we have nothing to do with Shangqiu City, how can we force Su Baiyi to surrender?" ”

"Because he had to descend!" Song Zuzhi does have a killer feature, and as a scholar influenced by Confucius and Mencius, he is very reluctant to use this method, but as Luo Rucai's courtier, the king has difficulties and can't help but share his worries for the king, and after struggling for a long time, he still decided to say this method.

But this thing is a demon, once it is released, it will be uncontrollable, if Luo Rucai is willing to listen to his plan, it is okay, in case he takes the evil path, then he Song Zuzhi will become a sinner through the ages.

This is also the reason why he has never dared to mention it.

"How?" Luo Rucai's eyes narrowed slightly.

Song Zuzhi said: "Please retreat from the left and right, this strategy of his subordinates, if there are more people who know, it will not work." ”

Luo Rucai looked at him suspiciously, then nodded and said, "Okay, you come with Ben Shuai!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and led Song Zuzhi to a small room behind the big tent. This is usually Luo Rucai's harem, which is exclusively for him and his wife and concubine to have sexual pleasure, and now he can't manage so much.

"What does the Song military master have to teach the handsome?" Luo Rucai gave up his hand, and did his best to be a corporal.

"Dashuai, Shangqiu City is impregnable, it is no longer realistic for us to attack by force at this moment, we can only attack the heart, maybe there is a glimmer of opportunity, so Dashuai, we can only attack the heart." Song Zuzhi took a deep breath.

"How to attack the heart?" Luo Rucai asked.

"Attack what they will save, and force them to worry!" Song Zuzhi said: "Let him be afraid." ”

"How to make him afraid?"

"Break the river, irrigate the city!" Song Zuzhi closed his eyes and said four words.

Luo Rucai's eyes finally lit up again.

……

In the hall of the Zhou Mansion, Su Baiyi held the letter, frowned while reading it, and slowly, his brows stretched out again, becoming his usual light and breezy appearance.

"What should I do?" Geng Zhongming scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

Kong Youde and Mao Chenglu's faces were gloomy.

Su Baiyi scolded: "Go, go, you three go to defend the city and prevent Luo Rucai from attacking!" ”

The three of them walked away worriedly.

There are also Yuan Keli, Zhou Shipu, Yang Juan, Guo Cheng and Ye Pingzhi here.

Yuan Keli's tall figure stood in front of several cases, his right hand was half clenched, and he knocked it on the table at once.

Zhou Shipu sat on the Taishi chair, with a gloomy face, without saying a word, taking a sip of tea and sighing.

Guo Cheng saw that everyone was silent, and stood up and said: "Whatever you call him a bird, Master Su, if you say a word, my surname Guo ran to the enemy camp and cut off Luo Rucai's dog head." ”

Su Baiyi smiled and shook his head again.

Yuan Keli suddenly turned around and said, "I don't know who gave Luo Rucai the bad idea, 10 million taels of silver, 10 million taels, hehe, do you have it?" After speaking, he looked at Su Baiyi.

Su Baiyi said: "Naturally, there is no, although the railway auction raised a lot of silver, but most of the silver has not been sent over, how can there be?" ”

"What then?" Yuan Keli said: "If they don't give it tomorrow, they will break the river and irrigate the city." ”

"What hobbies does this Luo Rucai have?" Su Baiyi suddenly turned around and asked.

"What hobbies can an anti-thief leader have?" Zhou Shipu put the water cup on a few cases, and said, "Didn't he ask you for money, love money!" ”

"!" Yuan Keli said: "In addition to loving money, he is also very lustful, and it is said that there are no less than 100 concubines in the camp. ”

"Huh." Su Baiyi smiled and said, "This is easy to do, he is lustful, we will tempt him." ”

"Seductive?" Zhou Shipu sneered: "What are you kidding, no matter how unbearable Luo Rucai is, he can't see through your beauty plan at this time?"

"Hehe, Elder Zhou listens to me!" Su Baiyi sat on the stool with a smile: "Trouble the two of you, help me reply to Luo Rucai, and say that I agreed to his conditions, but there is not so much silver in the Defu Mansion, and I can only give him eight million taels at most." Also, I said that I have an unspeakable secret that I can't resort to letters, and I have to meet Luo Rucai himself for an interview. Let his army retreat three miles, build a big platform on the flat ground between the two armies, and tomorrow I will go to the meeting alone to see Luo Dashuai, oh no, it's two people, in order to show sincerity, tomorrow I will take my sister with me, and send Luo Dashuai as a concubine. If he doesn't agree to my conditions, then go to the river, and when the time comes, I will return to Defu, and he will not want to get a penny of silver from me. ”

"This ......" Yuan Ke stood up and said, "You want to go to the meeting alone?" ”

"Hmm!" Su Baiyi nodded.

"No, absolutely not!" Yuan Keli said: "If it is in case that Luo Rucai has a bad heart, how can you protect yourself with a weak woman?" ”

"So!" Su Baiyi said: "When the two adults write letters, they must make it clear that he Luo Rucai can't bring more than five people. ”

"No, no, no, no!" Zhou Shipu waved his hand and said, "This matter is very important, if it is in case." ”

"Hey!" Su Baiyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, you don't know our sister, hehe!" Besides, Luo Rucai coveted the silver of our return to Defu, why didn't I want to swallow his people, I was still thinking about how to accept it before, but I didn't expect that there would be a God-given opportunity today, haha, if God doesn't take it, I will be blamed! ”
