A rare peaceful day.

When it was dark, a horse came out of the Liu family camp and came straight under the fort.

"General Li, Liu Su is looking for a meeting!"

The visitor turned over and dismounted, raised his hands and strode towards the fort.

A moment later, a rope was hung from the fort. Liu Su was stunned for a moment, but still strode forward, grabbed the rope with both hands, and climbed up hard.

The wall was extremely slippery because of the ice and snow, and it was very difficult to step on it. This made Liu Su's climbing upwards extremely difficult, but this man had a strong sense of tenacity. He tied the rope around his waist, but he actually climbed up the towering fort little by little with the power of his arms. When he reached the top of the burg, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"It's a man." An officer of the Right Guard came over, looked at him, and said, "We General Li are waiting for you!"

Liu Su nodded and raised his hands high. The officer was not polite and came up to explore and confirmed that the other party was not carrying a weapon. He turned around and walked inward.

Li Rui and Gu Han were drinking while cooking fires, while Liu Yan was tied to a pillar on one side and sat on the cold ground with his head drooping. As soon as Liu Su came in, his eyes fell on Liu Yan.

"Liu Su is right? If you can climb up like this and dare to come, you are really a brave general." Li Rui signaled the soldiers to take another chair and put it across from him and Gu Han: "Sit down, you are worth sitting down and having a glass of wine for you like this."

Taking the wine from Li Rui, Liu Su did not drink it himself. Instead, she walked to the pillar, squatted down, helped Liu Yan's head up, and poured the glass of warm wine into him.

"Don't worry, he is not dead." Li Rui said lazily: "The injuries on his body were caused when the house collapsed, so we even bandaged him!"

It seemed to be confirming Li Rui's words. After drinking a glass of warm wine, Liu Yan's breathing became heavy.

Liu Su nodded, walked back, and sat in front of Li Rui.

"Our patriarch asked me to ask, what conditions can you be willing to let the second young master go?"

Li Rui laughed: "I really didn't expect that Clan Chief Liu was so humorous? The two armies fought to the death. I finally caught a big fish. It was a time when the strange goods were alive. Do you think I would let go? When you attack, I hung the second young master on the wall and let you return without success. Wouldn't it be nice?"

Liu Su smiled: "General Li is also very humorous, of course you also know that this is impossible."

"So, Clan Chief Liu doesn't value this second young master very much? Liu Yan, have you woken up? Have you heard it clearly?" Li Rui turned around with a smile.

"General Li doesn't need to be sowed." Liu Su said: "The patriarch attaches great importance to every Liu family's child, so I am in this position."

"He is worried, and he is not afraid of me and you, and the hostages have changed from one to two." Li Rui said.

"The second young master was captured on the battlefield, and that's nothing to say. I came as an envoy, so I'm not worried about this." Liu Su smiled and said, "The patriarch said that General Li is a famous general, so he wouldn't be so shameless."

"Who said? I have always been shameless. I dare to do anything for victory." Li Rui said with a nose: "But Liu Siyuan doesn't even care about his own relatives and second son, so naturally he doesn't care about you. If you deduct it, it's useless."

A trace of anger flashed across Liu Su's face.

"General Li, please give me the conditions! You are also a smart person. You don't want to hold the strange goods in your hand, but you end up finding nothing, right?"

"So, Clan Chief Liu really won't withdraw his troops?" Li Rui looked at Liu Su jokingly and said.

"Of course." Liu Su nodded and said, "A piece of big fat meat has been eaten by most of the time. How can you give up halfway!"

"I don't even want my own son?"

"When our army besieged Zhenzhou, Li Xiang's father, Prince Li Anguo, once said, "Other people's son dies, my son dies!" Liu Su said seriously: "The patriarch feels sorry for his son, is willing to make some efforts and pay some price to exchange for the second son, but it does not mean that he can withdraw his troops and quit the battle."

"I understand, that is, I can get some benefits, and then let Liu Yan go, our two families, and then continue to fight, right?" Li Rui said with a smile.

"Not bad. But it's not too much for General Li to be within our tolerance."

"Okay, I don't want to have more than one thousand dan of grain and five thousand kilograms of charcoal. If you have more, you can't take it out. What's the case? Isn't this a high requirement?" Li Rui said without thinking.

Liu Su was stunned, "It turns out that General Li has made plans long ago, right?"

"Yes, a worthless guy like Kan Yan naturally scored a calculation with one blow, but a good guy like the second young master Liu Yan naturally had to sell it for a price. Although it was not a good price, it would not cost me a lot, right?" Li Rui laughed.

"Then let's just say that, I'll go back now and prepare what the general wants overnight." Liu Su stood up suddenly.

"No, no!" Li Rui shook his finger: "Tonight, please rest in the fort. You will go back tomorrow. Then you have an hour to prepare what I want. After this time, I will regret it!"

"What does the general mean?" Liu Su was stunned, but then he understood what Li Rui meant and said angrily: "General is so underestimating people?"

"We have to be careful, we have to be careful!" Li Rui laughed, "After all, we are enemies!"

"Okay, since that's the case, please please General Li be more polite to my second son?" Liu Su pointed to Liu Yan on the ground.

"Of course, of course, he is worth 1,000 dan of grain and 5,000 kilograms of charcoal." Li Rui summoned an officer in: "Change the second young master and let the doctor in the army take a closer look, so as not to find any hidden injuries. Then, I said that Li Rui is not trustworthy, warm up his house and make some delicious food for him. We have to send a lively second young master back and let Clan Chief Liu see our credit."

Liu Yan was taken away, and Liu Su was immediately arranged to another place.

"Why is it a thousand dan of grain and five thousand dan of charcoal?" Gu Han asked.

Li Rui smiled and said, "Five thousand kilograms of charcoal are really easy to say. If you can get more, everyone will live a warmer night. I have carefully calculated the 1,000 dan of grain. The total consumption of Liu Siyuan's troops outside is 30,000 people. Even if the annual consumption is 30,000 kilograms of grain, the reserves of its army will not exceed ten days. He has fought with us for three days and brought them today for four days. In other words, his military ration reserves will be at most five or six days. I asked for a thousand dan at once, and I took about three more days of grain. He only had one to two days of grain left. And how many days would it take to transport grain from his rear? So, my real purpose is not food, but time."

"Liu Siyuan was not sure to conquer us in one or two days, so he could only do it casually!" Gu Han suddenly realized: "As a matter of fact, there are articles everywhere. Only General Li, a long-time general on the battlefield, can you understand these things. Just reading books and military books, you will never understand them."

"Young Master has told us that if anyone fights according to the military books, he will probably not be able to understand how to die if he dies. The book says the rules and is something that is suitable for the world, but every war is ever-changing, with different ways of fighting based on people, things, places, and any special conditions." Li Rui smiled and said, "Young Master also said that at first he also thought that he had read a lot of military books and knew countless classic cases, but he was severely hit when he appeared on the first day of the lunar calendar. Only after such things happened several times in a row did he truly understand this truth."

"I haven't heard that Li Xiang has lost a battle!" Gu Han asked strangely.

"The people who attacked the young master were Shi Zhuang and Tu Lichun. At the beginning, the young master had enthusiastically formulated many tactical styles, but they were refuted by these people. The final facts also proved that these people were correct. That is, from when, the young master only formulated a large strategic plan. As for how the generals fought, he would never ask again. Anyway, as long as the generals lost, if the generals lost, it would be the general's problem."

"What if Li Xiang's strategy is wrong?" Gu Han asked.

Li Rui laughed: "Judge Gu, you understand this better than me. If the grand strategy is wrong, then we will be done, haha!"

"That's right!" Gu Han smiled lost his heart.

"It's okay, so let's go to bed. We can have a good night's sleep today." Li Rui said.

"We are surrounded now. The news here cannot be sent out, and the news outside cannot be transmitted. What is the situation of General Liu? I don't know!" Gu Han was still a little worried.

"We should do what we should do, and the rest is General Liu's business." Li Rui said lightly: "That's not something I can control, and I won't worry about it. Go to sleep, Judge Gu, Liu Siyuan can't chew us."

The next day, just as the sky was getting bright, Liu Su slipped down the rope again. In an hour, he needed to prepare a thousand dan of grain and five thousand charcoal, and time was still quite tight.

Li Rui and Gu Han stood on the city wall, watching Liu Su disappear from their sight.

"Will Liu Siyuan agree?"

"Yes, in his eyes, we are already fish on the felt board, so it doesn't matter if he gives us some food." Li Rui said: "So Judge Gu, there is absolutely no problem with our food. Everyone can eat enough to fight him every day, and no longer have to save money."

"It feels really good to eat the enemy's food and then slaughter the enemy." Gu Han suddenly laughed.

"I feel this way to each other!"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

In just half an hour, there was a movement from the camp opposite.

Teams of Liu's soldiers came out one after another, but they were not carrying soldiers, but bags of food, and carried them to a place not far from the city, neatly placed on the ground, and then retreated backwards.
