He boarded the boat sadly and crossed the river in panic. Li Bin never expected that his act of sacrificing his life to save his life would actually drive him to death.
He was frightened by Wei Yan's ambush. On his way back to the camp, he analyzed it and concluded that if Que Xuan refused to surrender or compromise, those who were not his direct descendants would be unlucky in the end.
The army is not completely out of food, and Quyang is not too far away from Tancheng. If Que Xuanheng makes up his mind and breaks out with all his strength, it is not completely hopeless. He can at least return to Quyang with a few hundred remaining soldiers, right? After all, his direct troops are equipped
With the most sophisticated armor and weapons, even Wang Yu would not be able to pay a high price to crack this hard nut.
From Wei Yan's ambush, Que Xuan saw the strange characteristics of the Yinwu Army, but what Li Bin saw was the countermeasures that the Qingzhou Army would adopt if Que Xuan retreated.
Ambush, raid, obstruction... Although the Qingzhou Army is in a great situation, they will definitely not fight head-on. Instead, they will take advantage of their own eagerness to escape danger or obtain supplies, and use the above methods to weaken and defeat them. Faced with this
In the harassment battle, the elite troops carefully built by Que Xuan were of no use at all and could only be beaten up in front of them.
Li Bin believed that the Qingzhou Army should not be able to annihilate Quexuan in the end, but he, a military commander who was not very skilled in martial arts and was just a little clever, was doomed.
This kind of harassment battle may not seem intense, but the casualty rate of the attacked party will be higher than that of a frontal battle, because every time the attacker takes action, he will cause maximum damage to the enemy while ensuring his own safety. In other words,
Before the entire army collapses, there will only be casualties and no prisoners!
Li Bin didn't want to die, so he proposed negotiation to Que Xuan. In his opinion, if Que Xuan was willing to offer two thousand pieces of armor, why would Wang Yu have to pursue them?
As for whether Wang Yu would go back on his word and fall out again after taking something... Li Bin believed that the possibility was almost impossible. General Hussar was very particular about people. A promise worth a thousand gold, even if he really wanted to break the promise and play tricks, Que Xuan was not worthy of him.
Just do it - he's just a rich man who doesn't know the heights of the world. What qualifications do he have to be worthy of the attention of the champion of the Han Dynasty?
It cannot be said that his calculation was wrong, but after all calculations, Li Bin never expected that this unlucky job would fall on him.
It would be fine if he followed his plan completely. But Que Xuan's order was for him to bargain with Wang Yu to see if he could use eight hundred. No, it would be better to buy a way out with only five hundred armors. In the end,
Fortunately, I can also ask Wang Yu for some food...
God, why don't you send down a thunderbolt to kill this stingy, shameless, and unscrupulous "Emperor"? Even if such a person calls himself Emperor, he has tarnished the word "Emperor"!
In the current situation, five hundred or eight hundred iron armors are needed to buy roads and exchange for food, and at most add a nominal vassal... Let alone myself, even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi are reincarnated, it is impossible to negotiate it.
Ah! The hussar general is not an idiot like Que Xuan.
Well, Que Xuan is not an idiot. He just plans to use his own life to be a guiding stone. If Wang Yu is angered and kills his envoys, destroys books, etc., he can take advantage of the situation to make adjustments. For example, using this to arouse the whole world.
The fighting spirit of the entire army means that they will fight against the odds; or they may be arrogant at first but respectful at the end, and propose more generous terms in order to bargain... and so on.
Li Bin felt like a bright mirror about these things, but he had no choice. If he didn't go, he would be killed by Que Xuan on the spot.
He rushed to make great achievements in excitement, but in the end he knelt down and begged for mercy. Que Xuan felt uncomfortable, unbalanced, and this evil fire. He just wanted to find someone to vent his anger. He deserved to be unlucky and hit a knife edge.
If you think about it clearly, it is understandable that he felt miserable when he boarded the boat. That is to say, he was not very courageous, otherwise there might have been a bit of a windy and cold atmosphere.
Shu Shui, which usually looked very wide, felt like a small ditch at the moment. Li Bin had just turned halfway through his thoughts and just wanted to understand the cause. Before he could understand the consequences, the boat arrived at the shore.
He was just complaining in his heart. The only good thing was that the Qingzhou Army did not put up any big battles against him, the messenger of peace. There were no threats such as corridors of steel knives or oil pans... If the other party did that,
Li Bin couldn't guarantee that he would not lose his temper, become weak in the feet, collapse, become incontinent, faint from fear, etc.
At the same time, the Qingzhou Army had no intention of giving a grand reception. It was just an official who could not tell from his attire that he was civil or military, and he came up with two followers, calmly and calmly.
There were only a few people coming, but Li Bin didn't dare to neglect him. Even if it was a soldier, he still had to greet him with a smile. Isn't the chance of survival created by the details?
"I, Li Bin, am a retainer of the Que family. I am crossing the river this time just to seek peace. May I ask... who is your Majesty..." Bowing to the ground, countless titles rolled around in his mouth, and finally Li Bin chose
The most solemn one was given. At the same time, he did not mention his status in the military, only saying that he was a retainer.
Menke is a general term. It can be someone like Hou Ying or Zhu Hai, a dead soldier or a righteous person who generously repays his promise, but it can also be an unknown person who just works for a living.
What Li Bin wanted to hint to the other party was the latter. Since he was just a freeloader, even if Wang Qiaoqi got angry, he wouldn't do it to a little person like him who couldn't help himself, right?
"General Li Shiyi, under the command of the General Hussars, I hold the position of Lieutenant of Yinwu Military Academy, but I dare not take the title of envoy." The man opposite smiled and returned the greeting, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
But Li Bin trembled all over, his feet went weak, and he almost fell over.
He had heard this somewhat ridiculous name, more than once!
The owner of this name is also a legendary figure. As one of the earliest civil servants who followed Wang Yu, Li Xiaowei was certainly not banned. Jia Xu was famous, but his martial arts and resourcefulness were far inferior to the latter. He paid more attention to
In the Qingzhou Army, where talent and seniority are not valued, it is natural that his achievements are not as good as those of his opponent.
But with loyalty and diligence, this man also firmly occupied a place in the Qingzhou Army. In the legend of Wang Yu, his figure appears everywhere. In Mengjin, he shot an arrow at Lu Bu; in Luoyang, he shot an arrow at Situ
The house sells sesame cakes to coordinate Wang Yu's actions; in Mount Tai... in Qingzhou... in Hebei...
By now, he is also a legend himself.
Most of the young people who defected to Qingzhou left their families and left their families alone after hearing the reputations of Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and Xu Shu. With passion and resentment, those who were older and had already passed the
A young and vigorous man, his target for defecting to Qingzhou was Captain Li.
Eleven's name represents his origin. He doesn't even have a serious name. He is obviously a grassroots among grassroots. However, this person's martial arts and resourcefulness are only average. Although the world is big, genius is limited after all.
Diligence and loyalty can also lead to high positions, which is what more ordinary people look forward to.
Invisibly, Li Shiyi, like Zhao Yun and other famous generals, became the spokesperson for Qingzhou's personnel affairs. There are almost no famous generals because of him, but no matter what era, glory is laid by these unknown people and ultimately built.
Got up.
Of course, Li Bin's trembling was not because of Li Shiyi's legendary experience, but because he knew the meaning of this name.
This person is the leader of Xuzhou's spies after Xu Shu. Hundreds of spies and killers from the Qingzhou Army follow his lead. He can be said to be the king of Xuzhou's dark world. The fear brought about by this identity is greater than his own experience.
, the official position is much bigger.
"My humble duty..." Li Bin's tongue began to get knotted.
Li Shiyi smiled kindly and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be polite. Our two armies are fighting, and our status is equal. How about we treat each other as equals?"
"How dare, how dare..." Li Bin thought repeatedly, but he couldn't figure out the other party's intention.
This situation was set up by Wang Yu. The other party should have a clear understanding of the situation. And he had no intention of hiding it. He made up his mind to be humble and seek compromise. As soon as they met, he frankly stated the purpose of seeking peace. The other party also had
Why should I treat myself like this?
Seeing the doubtful look on his face, Li Shiyi's expression became warmer, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about it. My lord has always been very courteous to those who have the ability. The public belongs to the public, and the private belongs to the private."
, even if the matter of the envoy cannot be reached, the envoy does not need to worry about his own safety. Li promises that he will send the envoy to the military camp intact and will send him out safely."
Li Bin's doubts have not yet disappeared, but the tension in his heart has finally been loosened.
"The general is too polite. The general is just a commander in the army, and his rank is much lower than that of the general. Besides, the general's rank was given by the emperor, but the rank of the general is just..." He laughed dryly.
Twice, he asked tentatively: "Furthermore, although the general is not belittling himself, how can the general's meager skills be in the eyes of the hussar general?"
"Oh?" Li Shiyi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, "The envoy's surname is also Li, and he is a military commander. The one who led his troops south recently is the envoy, right?"
"...That's right." Li Bin's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what the other party's intention was, so he hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice.
"That's right." Li Shiyi clapped his hands, which frightened Li Bin so much that he looked around, fearing that a group of swordsmen would jump out next to him and cut him into pieces.
"General Wen Chang reported back that he met a clever man and a good battle of annihilation, but only half of the goal was achieved. He was full of praise for the envoy's cleverness." Li Shiyi was telling lies with his eyes open.
.
Wei Yan was very angry at the failure to annihilate Li Bin's troops. He didn't say anything in his military report to Wang Yu, but his private message to Li Shiyi had a different story.
Wei Yan's intention was to find out the details of this person and kill him as a warning to others. But Li Shiyi had a different idea. He wanted to use Li Bin as an opportunity to accomplish a major event that Wang Yu was planning. (
