Yang Xiu and Ding Chong are at the side and will arrive as soon as they are summoned.
When Liu Xie said that he wanted to bypass Li Ying and attack Li Jue, the two of them were stunned and said in unison: "Your Majesty, you must not do this."
"Why not?" Liu Xie's heartbeat accelerated and his blood surged upwards. He couldn't tell whether he was excited or nervous.
The danger is self-evident, anyone with a bit of common sense can see it.
But not everyone can see the opportunity and seize it.
Of course, Yang Xiu and Ding Chong may not be able to see it, but they don't dare to take the risk.
"Your Majesty..." Yang Xiu swallowed and hesitated. "What your Majesty said is true. It's just that Li Jue has a strong army. Even if I, the emperor and his subjects, risk their lives and fight with all their strength, what can we do?"
Liu Xie smiled. "You are wrong. I am not trying to defeat Li Jue, but I am trying to prove Li Jue's weakness."
"Your Majesty?" Yang Xiu hadn't reacted yet.
Ding Chong understood, and he opened his mouth to speak. When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Liu Xie glanced at Ding Chong and then said: "Li Jue has 20,000 people. Facing anyone, he is sure to win. But if everyone swarms up, he will definitely lose. Guo Si and Yang Dingzuo watched from the wall.
, It’s not that I don’t want to attack Li Jue, but I don’t want to make the first move, and want to wait for others to make the first move, so that both sides will suffer losses, so that I can take advantage.”
"It turns out that His Majesty's attack on Li Jue was a fictitious thing, to disturb Guo Si, Yang Ding's ears and eyes, and to induce him to take action. It's a good plan. It's a good plan." Yang Xiu suddenly realized, and then asked: "What if they still don't take action?"
Liu Xie smiled and said: "So what? We have nothing to lose anyway."
Ding Chong said: "Your Majesty is right. Didn't you rob Zhang Xiu's battle flag before? You can pretend to be Zhang Xiu. As far as cavalry is concerned, the armors are all the same, and they can't see clearly at night."
Yang Xiu put his palms together and smiled.
——
It didn't take long before Yang Feng hurried over. One look at his neat clothes and armor, and he knew that he hadn't slept yet.
"The general is not asleep yet?"
"I just came back from patrolling the camp." Yang Feng smiled. "Your Majesty summons his ministers to attack at night."
"The general and I really have a good understanding of each other. Yes, I plan to attack Li Jue at night." Liu Xie smiled. "Attack Li Jue at night."
"Okay, okay." Yang Feng rubbed his hands, and his smile just bloomed. He suddenly reacted, and his eyes widened in shock, and his eyeballs almost fell to the ground. "What? Night attack on Li Jue?"
Liu Xie smiled broadly and looked at Yang Feng quietly.
Yang Xiu and Ding Chong sat aside, smiling and saying nothing, looking at caring children with mental retardation.
Yang Feng looked at Liu Xie awkwardly. "Your Majesty, there are nearly 20,000 people in Li Jue's camp. One thousand people per base means more than 20 bases. The whole camp is several miles around. I'm afraid we won't reach the central army before we can kill it.
I was surrounded by Li Jue. This... this is the same as dying."
"What the general said is true." Liu Xie nodded. "So, as long as you still have some sense, you won't do this, right?"
Yang Feng explained sarcastically: "Your Majesty, I...that's not what I meant."
Liu Xie continued: "So, even if someone attacks Li Jue's camp, it can't be me and the general, right?"
Yang Feng opened his mouth, swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
His eyes gradually brightened, he raised his right fist and struck hard with his left palm. "Yes, it's possible for anyone, but it can't be your Majesty. Although your Majesty is brave, he is not stupid. How can you use ten thousand gold to do it?"
Why do you do such stupid things? Unless you lose your head."
Liu Xie was speechless.
Can you speak? If not, then shut up.
"Who could that be?" Liu Xie inspired.
"The most likely one is Guo Si." Yang Feng became more energetic. "Guo Si has always wanted to kill Li Jue, but he just didn't have enough strength. Now that Zhang Ji has reinforced him, he must have an idea. There has been no movement for so many days, so he is probably waiting for an opportunity.
"
"What about Yang Ding?"
"It is also possible. He is deeply favored by His Majesty. If he is not loyal at all, wouldn't he be like a pig or a dog? Li Jue is greedy and easy to kill. He knows it better than anyone. If not, he would not betray Li Jue in the first place."
Seeing that Yang Feng was very excited and might tell the story again, Liu Xie quickly interrupted him.
He wasted so much words just to guide Yang Feng's thinking and avoid the feeling of imposing on others.
For Yang Feng, a warrior who lacks brains but has a strong self-esteem, there is a big difference between him coming up with this idea and someone else coming up with it and forcing him to do it.
Liu Xie and Yang Feng discussed and gathered all the cavalry, led by Yang Feng and Guo Wu, disguised as Zhang Xiu's troops, and attacked at night, bypassing Li Ying's camp and going straight to Li Jue's camp.
There is no need to discuss whether Li Jue can be killed or not. It is enough to make Li Jue misunderstand.
Being idle is also idle. If you have dates or not, you can hit a pole.
Considering that killing is not the purpose, we should mainly use cavalry, and bring more bows, arrows and fire starters to facilitate setting fires.
Yang Feng rushed to prepare.
——
Liu Xie wanted to attack together with Yang Feng and Guo Wu, but was stopped by Yang Xiu and Ding Chong.
Yang Xiu hugged Liu Xie tightly and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty wants to leave the camp, please behead his ministers first, otherwise it will be impossible."
Ding Chong also repeatedly tried to dissuade him. "Your Majesty has the intention to kill the enemy. Everyone knows it, so there is no need for your Majesty to go out to fight in person. Your Majesty is young and weak. Even if you go into battle, you can't kill people. Instead, you need General Xingyi and Guo Shilang to protect you."
It is better to sit in the main camp and strategize."
Yang Feng and Guo Wu also agreed with Ding Chong's idea.
The emperor walking with them can certainly boost their morale, but it also distracts them from going all out.
In desperation, Liu Xie had no choice but to agree to their request and stay at the camp.
He gave a farewell party to the knights who followed Yang Feng and Guo Wu, giving each of them a glass of wine, and asked Yang Xiu and Ding Chong to write down the names of each of them.
Yang Feng responded repeatedly, but held Liu Xie's waist tightly.
"Let go and get the pen and ink quickly." Liu Xie said angrily, and used force to break Yang Xiu's hand.
Yang Xiu said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a photographic memory, no need for pen and ink."
Liu Xie couldn't break Yang Xiu's hand and shouted angrily: "Hey, are you serious?"
"If your Majesty does not believe it, you can ask the soldiers who are going to fight to come forward. There is no need to state their names. I will report their names and place of origin. If anyone makes a mistake, I am willing to commit suicide to express my gratitude for the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"I..." Liu Xie laughed angrily and ordered the generals to step forward.
Ding Chong poured the wine, Liu Xie handed the wine glasses to the soldiers, and Yang Xiu reported their names and place of origin one by one.
It started with the Huben ministers led by Guo Wu, many of whom had stayed with Yang Xiu in Yang Ding camp for several days. They felt honored that Yang Xiu could tell them their names and places of origin, and they were not surprised.
When it came to Minister Huben, who had not had much contact with Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu still stayed true to his words, which was somewhat surprising.
Later, the knights sent by the scholar Sun Ruigang, although they all met Yang Xiu, most of them had not spoken to each other, but Yang Xiu still reported their names and place of origin one by one, without any mistakes, which was eye-opening.
Finally, there is Yang Feng's personal guard cavalry, the same is true.
Everyone was surprised and impressed by Yang Xiu's photographic memory.
Yang Feng, who had been somewhat disdainful of Yang Xiu recently, looked at Yang Xiu again and raised his thumbs up in conviction.
"Master Yang is so smart."
Yang Xiu shook his hand disapprovingly. "You are born, not worth mentioning. Don't worry, gentlemen, your names are all in my mind. When you triumph, I will give you a performance endorsement. Whether it is the Six Classics of Confucianism or the
Zibaijia, whatever you want, I won’t memorize anything.”
"Bragging!" Liu Xie couldn't help but cursed.
Everyone laughed.
"Get on the horse." Yang Feng got on the horse and raised the spear in his hand. "After the victory, at the celebration banquet, we will see Mr. Yang's endorsement again."
Everyone laughed again, got on their horses in high spirits.
Yang Feng bowed his hand to Liu Xie Gong. "Your Majesty, I have gone."
Liu Xie returned the gift with his hand raised. "Take care, gentlemen. I will wait for news of your triumphant return."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Feng kicked the horse's belly and galloped away.
The knights filed out of camp and disappeared into the night.
