"Don't be pretentious." Li Guangbi lightly pierced Dong Yuanshu's trick, and Dong Yuanshu's face was flushed and very embarrassed.

"Get up. He doesn't plan to punish you for the time being. But...... The army has its own laws and regulations, and military law is ruthless, otherwise the army will be a mess of scattered sand. When your generals betrayed the imperial court, you were not only responsible for negligence, but also failed to intercept and command improperly after the accident, causing heavy casualties. According to military law, the commander should have cut off your head. So you have to understand that if Ben Shuai doesn't punish you, it doesn't mean that he will spare you. It's just that the enemy is at present, and the killing will be ominous, so your responsibility for this crime will be noted for the time being. I hope you will be able to lift your spirits, put your troops in order, and restore your morale. When you are in a siege battle, you have to fight bravely to be the first and get the merit worthy. Do you see what I mean? Li Guangbi said.

"Yes, yes, I understand. Humble Xie Dashuai gave me this opportunity to atone for my sins. The lowly office hereby swears that the lowly office will fight to the death with all its strength to make up for the mistakes of the lowly position. When attacking the city, he was the first to take the lead, not afraid of life and death. Break through Tongzhou City, capture Wang Yuan and Zeng Guozhong and present them to the marshal. Bow down to thank the marshal for not killing. Dong Yuanshu kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Li Guangbi glanced at him with disdain, and said in his heart: Do you want to arrest Wang Yuan? I'm afraid it's also a big deal. Now, I'm not sure about it, let alone you.

But Li Guangbi smiled and said, "Okay." You have such confidence, Ben Shuai is very pleased, I hope you can really do what you said, you can make up for the merits, Ben Shuai will also reduce the punishment of you as appropriate, and even reward you instead of punishing. It all depends on how you perform afterwards. Get up, go back to the camp, put the soldiers in order, and pacify the soldiers. An hour later, I will take your generals to my tent to discuss the siege. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Commander, retire from your post! Retire from your duties! Dong Yuanshu was finally able to get up from the hot ground, and his lower body was about to be roasted. After bowing again, he respectfully retreated.

Li Guangbi sighed, turned his head to look at the large mess in front of him, and his brows were quietly locked together. The grain route has been cut off, most of the hoarded grain has been burned, and most of the materials have been burned, and he has fallen into a huge crisis. There's not much time left for yourself, it's really not much. Although the remaining grain and grass can last for more than three days, these three days are fleeting, what should I do when the time comes? Li Guangbi understood that he could not afford to spend it here, and he needed to make a decision immediately.

At the right time, in the big tent on the top of the mountain, Li Guangbi convened a meeting of the middle and senior generals of the whole army. The three leading generals of the front, middle and rear battalions and fifty or sixty middle and high-ranking generals were among them. The big tent was crowded, but with so many people together, there was no usual hustle and bustle. Everyone frowned, sat there with blank eyes, and said nothing. The air in the tent was stagnant and dull, full of tension and pessimism.

Li Guangbi washed up, changed into a set of clean clothes and armor, and tried his best to restore his usual image. When he walked out of the back tent and came to the council office at the front of the big tent to sit behind the desk, the generals had a trace of anger. Because they found that Li Shuai's expression did not seem to be as serious as they imagined, his figure was still upright, and his demeanor was still as quiet as ever. It seems that Li Shuai was not flustered by the huge blow of the night, which also made the generals' hearts settle down a little.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Li Guangbi spoke.

The eyes of all the generals were focused on Li Guangbi, and they all listened attentively.

"Ladies and gentlemen. You probably already know that. During the night, our army's rations and supplies were attacked. Three rebels from the former battalion infiltrated the yard and set it on fire, causing huge losses. The rebel thief Wang Yuan sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to raid the front camp. Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, the grain and grass of our army were destroyed, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded. A huge blow was inflicted on my army. The situation has become very unfavorable for our army. When Li Guangbi said this, his voice trembled a little. The calm exterior still couldn't hide the anger in his heart.

The generals were silent, and some people turned their eyes to Dong Yuanshu. They thought that Dong Yuanshu would look ashamed and timid, and at least he should immediately come forward to ask for guilt. However, Dong Yuanshu didn't, but lowered his head like he was nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It has only been less than four days since my 300,000-strong army arrived at the city of Tongzhou, and we have been harassed by the traitor Wang Yuan, and we have suffered heavy casualties. According to rough statistics, in just over three days, we lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and most of the grain and grass materials were burned. However, the other party can be called unscathed. Statistics show that the opponent suffered less than 1,000 casualties. They even snatched four or five thousand soldiers and horses from us. Shame, this is my shame for Lee Kwang-pil, and it is also a shame for all of you here. Shame! Li Guangbi's tone finally became excited, and his knuckles tapped on the table.

The generals were silent and bowed their heads. I was ashamed. Of course, they should be ashamed, and as Li Guangbi said, this is indeed a great shame. That Wang Yuan deceived people too much, and in the past three days or so, he simply ignored his own 300,000 troops as nothing, and he could do whatever he wanted, and it was difficult for anyone to accept it. But the question is, what can they do? The other party is cunning and ferocious, scheming, tough and unexpected. The whole army has long taken strict precautions, but it is still impossible to prevent it. And what can be done to stop them?

Li Guangbi sighed and continued: "Actually, this commander is not sad because of the death and injury of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. We have an army of 300,000, and 30,000 soldiers and horses are just a drop in the bucket. Moreover, the follow-up soldiers and horses will continue to come, and the loss of these 30,000 soldiers and horses is not the end of the world. But they infiltrated the stockyard and set fire to a large number of grains, grass and supplies of our army. And this is Wang Yuan's most powerful hand. Ben Shuai doesn't care how many soldiers and horses are killed or wounded, but food and grass materials are the lifeblood of my army, and Wang Yuan, a traitor, stabbed us at our life, which is where Ben Shuai is heartbroken. ”

"This dog thief is so abominable that if he catches him, he will sleep on his skin and eat his flesh."

"Yes, this traitor is so hateful. He must not be spared. ”

The generals opened their mouths to curse as a sign of indignation. Li Guangbi waved his hand to silence everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Ben Shuai doesn't want to hide from you. This commander wants to explain the current grim situation to you. At present, most of the grain and grass have been burned. The rest of the food and grass was only enough for three days. Secondly, all the arrows and armor were burned, and the tents and charcoal for keeping out the cold were also burned to the ground. Almost all supplies were destroyed by the fire. That is, we have nothing left but the rest of the few days of food. ”

The generals were stunned and speechless, although they knew that they would suffer heavy losses, but they didn't expect it to be so miserable.

"Li Shuai, it's nothing, the grain and grass materials can be transported in again. It's not that hard. The commander ordered the logistics troops and horses to speed up the delivery of supplies to make up for the needs of the army. One of the generals said in a loud voice.

"Yes, the mountain road will be dredged today, and then it will be transported at an accelerated pace." The rest of the generals said one after another. The news that the mountain road was blocked yesterday is actually known to everyone, and this kind of news cannot be blocked.

Li Guangbi looked at everyone quietly, and said in a deep voice: "If it can be replenished in time, why should Ben Shuai worry?" There is also bad news to tell you, the news that came in the early hours of the morning, last night, two more mountain beams and cliffs were destroyed and collapsed by the enemy, and at present the three landslides have not been opened, and it may take five or six days to clean up all of them. And our food and grass ,...... It's only enough for three days. ”

There was a dead silence in the big tent, and everyone looked at Li Guangbi with their mouths open in shock. If they were nervous and worried before, but they were not desperate, then Li Guangbi's words just now gave them a slap in the face, making them realize that things were so bad that they couldn't get out of control. The logistics channel was blocked, and the dredged did not know when, the grain and grass in the army were burned, and there was only three days' food.

"In three days, the army will run out of food, and our siege equipment is only half complete, not yet complete. The grain and grass are urgent, and the back road is cut off. The siege was not ready, and the morale was greatly damaged. Generals, our situation is very bad. Li Guangbi pointed out the current situation of the army in no uncertain terms. The generals were stunned one by one, looking at Li Guangbi with dull eyes, and a feeling of despair rose in their hearts.

"Wang Yuan's purpose is very clear, that is, to cut off my grain and trap us. Attacking while we are running out of food and our morale is falling apart can crush my army of 300,000 in one fell swoop. Therefore, the current situation is so urgent that there can be no longer a moment's delay, and a decision must be made. Li Guangbi said in a solemn tone, word by word.

"Li Shuai, what do you say to do? Please make it clear. ”

"There are not many choices in front of us, there are only two roads, one of which is to immediately evacuate Tongzhou and return to Jinzhou. Wang Yuan definitely didn't dare to come out to catch up. The second is to launch a siege immediately, without waiting for all the siege equipment to be built. As long as Tongzhou is captured in one fell swoop, everything will be solved. Our army can drive straight into Chengdu and kill it. What do you think are the two strategies available? Li Guangbi said in a deep voice.

Generals, you look at me, I look at you, and none of the senior generals spoke. These high-ranking generals understood that since Li Guangbi had already put forward these two options, he would have the answer in his heart, and he didn't have to worry about it in vain. But the rest of the generals didn't think so, and after a moment of silence, they began to discuss passionately.

"The last general thinks that under the present circumstances, it is not easy to attack the city. There were only three days of food and grass in the army, and most of the arrows and supplies were burned. It doesn't hurt to burn the firewood, after all, the surrounding mountains can be replenished. But the shortage of grain and grass is fatal. Attacking the city at this time is tantamount to breaking the boat. Once the siege is blocked and the food and grass are consumed, it is difficult to retreat. For the sake of prudence, the general thought that it was time to choose a strategy to retire. to preserve the army. Follow-up attempt to attack. A middle-aged general stood up and spoke loudly.

The last general agreed with General Wu's words. At this time, the siege was insufficient in terms of morale, materials and even preparations. Unless the city is broken in three days, the lambs to be slaughtered after our army has run out of food. But under the current circumstances, who dares to guarantee that Tongzhou will be broken within three days? The Shence army is so ferocious, to put it mildly, even now, even when our soldiers are full of food, no one may dare to boast that they can succeed in the siege. Another general chimed in in unison.

The words of these two people represented the voices of a large number of generals, and when they said them, they immediately won the echo of a group of generals.

Li Guangbi sat there quietly, staring coldly at the dozen or so generals who echoed him. The dozen or so generals suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, so they hurriedly stopped talking and looked at Li Guangbi blankly.

"Come on, drag Wu Tianzheng and Zheng Ziqi out of the tent, and take forty military sticks seriously." Li Guangbi shouted.

The generals were stunned, Wu Tianzheng and Zheng Ziqi were the two generals who had just spoken about withdrawing their troops. Several pro-soldiers entered the tent, and one drove Wu Tianzheng and Zheng Ziqi outside.

Wu Tianzheng turned his head and shouted, "Li Shuai, what mistake did the last general and General Zheng make?" ”

Li Guangbi said coldly: "It's not wrong for you to boast about how powerful the enemy army is, grow the morale of others, and destroy your own prestige?" Who dares to assert that my army will not have the strength to break through the city in three days? What is the purpose of your brazen words here to advocate for the enemy? ”

"Wronged, Li Shuai, wronged, we don't mean it. We just ......" Wu Tianzheng and Zheng Ziqi shouted injustice.

"Shut up! Ben Shuai didn't wronged you. Even if you don't have the intention, it actually shakes the morale of the military. Also, have you ever thought about it, if we withdraw our troops at this moment, and Wang Yuan's main force goes north to meet the soldiers and horses on the northern route led by His Majesty, wouldn't this be disadvantageous to Your Majesty in disguise? Do you dare to say that you want to withdraw your troops at the risk of Your Majesty's safety? ”

"This ......," Wu Zheng and the others were speechless. The generals in the tent were also speechless. Li Guangbi's reason is actually very far-fetched, but now it has risen to the height of affecting His Majesty's safety, who dares to argue? From this height, forty military sticks can be regarded as their luck, and it is not an exaggeration to cut them directly. Knowing the current affairs, it is better not to argue anymore after these forty military sticks.

"What the marshal said was extremely true, and he thought of it before he could say it, but he didn't have time to say it. At present, we can only attack and cannot retreat, which is not only related to whether our army has backbone, but also to the entire battle situation. How can you say that you will retreat? Wu Tianzheng, Zheng Zi and the others are talking nonsense, but they are actually afraid of war. He thought that at this time, there was no advance or retreat, and he must break through the cauldron and attack Tongzhou. And under the leadership of Li Shuai, what is it difficult to break through Tongzhou? The humble position has enough confidence in Li Shuai. Dong Yuanshu lost no time in getting up and said impassionedly.

The generals were white-eyed, and their hearts were extremely disdainful. This guy's incompetence led to the immediate crisis, and now he is jumping out and shooting at others. His kung fu is good, and after knowing the mind of the big handsome, he came out to echo the words of the big handsome, how despicable his personality is. Li Shuai seems to have forgiven him a long time ago.

However, even if they disdain, they couldn't help but pretend to be completely in agreement, and nodded their heads in agreement. Because if you oppose him, you will deny Li Shuai's wisdom and martial arts, and a fool will do that.

Wu Tianzheng and Zheng Ziqi were pushed out of the tent with sad faces, pressed on the ground and beaten forty military sticks, but fortunately, the two of them were in good physical condition and survived. Bloodied and carried into the tent, he could not sit on it, so he could only climb on the futon and continue the meeting.

Li Guangbi had indeed made up his mind to take a desperate gamble to attack the city. He also knew that at this time, the morale of the army was sluggish, and many people had lost their fighting spirit, and they all hoped to withdraw the army to ensure safety. But they withdrew their troops for self-preservation, but they could not do it themselves. Once the army is withdrawn, he will never have a chance to turn back and fight Wang Yuan. With an army of 300,000 in hand, this is the best opportunity to defeat Wang Yuan with more fights and fewer fights. Once the army is withdrawn, Li Mao will be the first to explain the past. But how to dispel the idea of people wanting to withdraw the army, and let them know that their siege intention cannot be changed, it is necessary to focus on the typical killing.

Wu Zheng and the others unfortunately became this model. With a slam on the board, plus a big hat to buckle down, who would dare to mention the retreat again?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Li Guangbi, am not talented, but I have also experienced a hundred battles, and I have dozens of wounds on my body. After so many years, although there have been victories and defeats, I, Li, have never been discouraged by failure. Li believes that people living in the world are this ambition. If a person loses this spirit, he will be idle all his life, and it will be difficult for him to make a profit. Although the good times are happy, they will be depressed when they are hit, and such a person is the most despisable of Li. Back then, when I was defeated by Li Guangbi, I had only 20,000 soldiers and horses at most, and I never gave up on myself because of such adversity. Back then, Wang Yuan used to call me a high-ranking official and a brother, but did I care about it? ”

"Ben Shuai is still very accurate in seeing people, Ben Shuai knows that Wang Yuansheng has a backbone, how can Ben Shuai be in the same stream with him. Now, the 500,000 troops of our imperial court are pressing the border, which is a good time for you to make contributions to the imperial court and quell the rebellion. You know, it's not us who are worried about now, but the source of the anti-thief king. He had only 150,000 men and horses, and we had 500,000. Even if we are entangled here, the army of the North Road is overwhelming. We are here to stand firm
