Chapter 109 Rhythm
Liu Xie's worry was not that he underestimated the enemy, but was forced to do so.

Zhang Xiu led thousands of riders to cruise around, cutting off the connection between the imperial camp and Duan Yan, cutting off the food and grass, and the food stored in the camp lasted up to ten days.

Once the food is cut off, even if his training is fruitful, Yang Fengbu's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, or even collapsed directly.

The lethality of hunger to the Baibo army is far greater than that of other people.

In addition, he has no doubts about Duan Yan, Yang Ding, and even Jia Xu, Guo Si and others waiting to see.

Surrounded by the generals of Xiliang, if he can't show his strength to defeat Li Jue as soon as possible, it is inevitable that some people will lose confidence in him and cooperate with Li Jue instead.

They are not Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui, who are willing to bet their lives for the big man.

At that time, I am afraid that only the great summoning technique of Emperor Guangwu can save lives.

But he didn't.

Changing places, if he were Li Jue, he would choose to wait instead of attacking.

Liu Xie told Yang Xiu, Ding Chong and others about his worries, but he didn't tell Yang Feng.

Yang Feng wished that Li Jue would not attack. We will talk about what happened in a few days.

Ding Chong tilted his head and thought for a while. "Your Majesty, I have a plan, maybe it will work."

"tell me the story."

"Issue an edict to dismiss the great Sima, ask him about his crimes, and order all the generals to crusade..."

Before Ding Chong finished speaking, Yang Xiu sneered, "Why don't you write a few more flattering words to stimulate him directly."

Ding Chong closed his mouth embarrassingly, with an embarrassed expression.

Liu Xie frowned slightly. "Dezu, what do you think?"

Yang Xiu cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, when the two armies are fighting, we must first be mindful. When Li Jue comes to fight, our army is ready to fight. If Li Jue does not fight, he is showing weakness and loses for a while. If our army takes the initiative to provoke, Li Jue should not, but our army will lose. For a while."

Liu Xie thought about it and felt that what Yang Xiu said made sense.

It just doesn't solve the problem.

"How to solve the matter of Liang Dao?"

Yang Xiu talked eloquently. "The food in the camp can still last for a few days, so there is no need to rush it. Even if you want to stimulate Li Jue, it should be three days later, not now. After three days, Li Jue's momentum has weakened, and my soldiers' fear of the enemy has gradually weakened." It's time for battle. And the food is getting less and less, which can also stimulate the soldiers to fight to the death with Li Jue."

Yang Xiu laughed twice. "If you can break Li Jue, not only will you have food, but also meat, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Liu Xie took it seriously and raised his thumb. "Dezu, this plan is very clever."

Ding Chong also nodded. "Yang Shilang must be a master of chess, with profound computing power and far-reaching strategies."

Being praised by Liu Xie and Ding Chong one after another, Yang Xiu felt a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty praises it, but I dare not take it. In fact, this is also the feeling after defeating Li Shi last time. Does Your Majesty remember the excitement of the soldiers drinking and eating meat?"

Liu Xie laughed and nodded repeatedly.

Yang Xiu said to Ding Chong again: "Ding Shilang's plan also has merits, but don't be in a hurry, you can make preparations first. If Li Jue still doesn't attack after three days, it won't be too late to use it."

Ding Chong also smiled and cupped his hands. "Thank you for your advice, servant."

"Don't dare, dare not." Yang Xiu became humble in a rare way. "Most of the soldiers in the army are ignorant. They are afraid of difficulties and greedy for profit. It's human nature. Ding Shilang has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally understands."

Liu Xie was also very pleased.

It seems that Yang Xiu is not without progress, but not as fast as he expected.

-

The situation was just as Yang Xiu expected.

At the very beginning, everyone from Yang Feng to ordinary soldiers felt like they were facing a big enemy, and whenever there was a sign of trouble, they thought Li Jue was coming to attack.Although it is not a mess, the tension is visible to the naked eye.

After one night passed and Li Jue came, they calmed down a lot.

At noon on the third day, seeing that the front of the battle was peaceful, except for the occasional Xiliang Rangers, they could not see a single soldier of Li Jue at all. Their mentality changed unconsciously, from worrying about Li Jue to being worried about Li Jue. Cheng laughed at Li Jue's timidity and hoped that Li Jue would come.

Some people have already begun to imagine the celebration dinner after the victory.

Yang Feng took the initiative to find Liu Xie and asked questions. "Your Majesty, if Li Jue doesn't dare to come, what can I do? The food and grass in the camp won't last long."

"It seems that the general was too well prepared and frightened Li Jue away."

"Hahaha..." Yang Feng laughed triumphantly, then cupped his hands again. "Your Majesty is still heroic, traitors dare not offend."

"If Li Jue comes, will the general behead him?"

Yang Feng thought about it. "Beheading his head, I can't guarantee it, but I can't beat him, so that the Ming court can't be humiliated, but I can do it."

"With the general's words, I feel relieved." Liu Xie waved his hand, signaling Ding Chong to take out the prepared edict for Yang Feng to have a look.

Yang Feng was flattered, wiped his hands vigorously on his legs, and then held the imperial edict and read every word carefully.

His education level is limited, and he knows most of the characters, but he may not understand when they are connected into sentences.After reading it twice, I was still in the fog, and I was embarrassed to say it, my face flushed, and I kept silent.

"General?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what a good edict, what a good edict." Yang Feng was very embarrassed. "I'm just worried that Li Jue doesn't read enough and doesn't understand."

Liu Xie felt reasonable.

Li Jue's educational level was about the same as Yang Feng's. No matter how well written the imperial edict was, if Li Jue couldn't understand it, what's the point?
"Youyang, if you change it again, you must make sure that Li Jue can understand it." Liu Xie said: "Let him understand it at a glance, and jump when he understands it. .”

Ding Chong was speechless.

In order to write this imperial edict, he spent two days carefully choosing the words and citing scriptures, but he did not expect it to be in vain.

According to what the Son of Heaven said, that was not an imperial edict, it was cursing.

Although he wanted to curse in his heart, Ding Chong didn't dare to refute.After thinking about it, he made a suggestion, asking Li Zhen, the servant, to write the edict.

Li Zhen is a native of Li Jue Prefecture. He not only understands Li Jue's temper, but also is more familiar with Li Jue's local dialect.If he could write the imperial edict, it would definitely make Li Jue fly into a rage. It's hard to say whether he would die of anger directly, but it shouldn't be a problem for Li Jue to attack if it is stimulated.

Liu Xie thought it was reasonable, so he ordered someone to return to the Chinese army to summon Li Zhen to serve him.

Li Zhen arrived quickly, and after hearing what Liu Xie meant, he also felt that the request was a bit weird, but he still fulfilled it with all his heart.

Liu Xie asked Yang Feng to read it again.

This time, Yang Feng only read a few sentences, and then screamed with excitement. "Your Majesty, it would be great if the imperial edict could be written like this."

Li Zhen and Ding Chong glanced at each other and smiled wryly at the same time.

After Yang Feng confirmed that there would be no obstacles to understanding, Liu Xie ordered people to copy the imperial edict, stamped it with a seal, and prepared to issue it on the same day.

At the same time, he ordered Yang Feng to prepare for the battle.

In case Li Jue comes to fight, he must win the first battle.

Yang Feng readily obeyed.

He told Liu Xie that in the past few days, he has not relaxed. Zhang Xiu approached several times, but because there was no time to take advantage of it, he withdrew after showing his face.

Only then did Liu Xie remember that besides Li Jue, there was another enemy beside him, Zhang Xiu.

"General, is there a way to get rid of Zhang Xiu?"

Yang Feng smiled wryly. "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu is not Li Shi."
