In the main hall, many generals were speechless.
This Zhou Yafu was simply audacious. Relying on his military power, he even dared to disobey the emperor's orders!
Now that Zhou Yafu refused to send reinforcements and the rebel army refused to retreat, how long could they resist?
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone felt a little lost and uneasy!
Just as the atmosphere in the hall fell silent, an armored general slowly walked out.
He was none other than Han Anguo, a doctor from the Country of Liang!
His expression was calm, and he had remained calm for the past month. He was not affected by Zhou Yafu's refusal to send troops.
At this moment, he looked at the gloomy atmosphere in the hall and then glanced at the King of Liang who was sitting on the throne in a daze.
Without much hesitation, he said to the Prince of Liang,
"Your Majesty, although you are in a desperate situation now, it might not be a bad opportunity for you!”
Just as the King of Liang was in a daze, Han Anguo's voice suddenly made him feel a little more energetic. He raised his head to look at Han Anguo and frowned,
"Doctor Han, what do you mean?"
"Great King, think about it. Now that we are surrounded, we have no choice but to resist!”
"However, if Your Majesty can stop the rebel army, then after this battle, I'm afraid no one will be able to compare to you in suppressing the rebellion. At that time, your reputation and status will definitely soar!”
Han Anguo looked at the King of Liang as he slowly guided him.
The King of Liang was stunned for a moment when he heard that. Then, he pondered for a moment. What he said was not unreasonable!
However, the King of Liang asked Han Anguo in distress,
"But, can we stop the frenzied attacks of the rebel army? Now…"
"Even if we can't block it, we have to block it!"
Before the King of Liang could finish, Han Anguo continued with a solemn expression,
"If you can't stop it, you'll die, but if you can stop it, then you'll be the first to suppress the rebellion!”
When the King of Liang heard Han Anguo's sonorous voice, his mind was also affected, and his expression was uncertain.
Han Anguo was right. Now that that son of a b * tch Zhou Yafu had refused to send troops to rescue him, he had no other choice. If he could stop the rebel army's attack, his contribution would definitely not be small.
In just a moment, the King of Liang made up his mind.
He stood up with killing intent and pulled out his sword.
"In that case, I'll fight them to the death!”
After saying that, he looked outside the city and gritted his teeth.
"Old Liu Bi, if you want to break Suiyang City, you will have to step over my king's corpse!”
…
Liang Country, twenty miles outside Suiyang City!
This was the base camp of Wu Chu's 300,000 rebels!
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the army that attacked Suiyang City had already returned to the camp.
Without a doubt, the army was unable to take down Suiyang City today.
At this moment, in the central commander's tent!
An old man in his sixties with a white beard and a crown on his head led a team of generals and opened the tent curtain. He was the first to enter the tent!
As soon as he entered, he could not help but shout at the general behind him,
" Useless!!"
"A bunch of stupid pigs!"
"After attacking for a month, we still haven't taken down that small Sui Yang City!”
This old man in embroidered clothes was none other than the current leader of the rebel army, King Wu Liu Bi, who now called himself East Deity!
At this moment, he was furious and was very dissatisfied with the result of his subordinates 'attack.
The generals following behind heard the angry voice of the King of Wu, Liu Bi, and their expressions turned ugly.
Especially the middle-aged general Tian Lubo, who was closest to Liu Bi. He was a general of Wu and was appointed by Liu Bi to lead the army to attack Suiyang City.
Now that Sui Yang City had not been able to succeed for a long time, the responsibility naturally fell on him.
The King of Wu, Liu Bi, naturally couldn't do without him.
After the King of Wu sat down, Tian Lubo could only step forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, Sui Yang City is tall and sturdy. It is also the capital of the Liang Country and has a lot of supplies. Therefore, it is very difficult for the soldiers to attack!”
"I don't want to listen to reasons. I want you to take down Sui Yang City as soon as possible!”
Liu Bi looked at him angrily. Although he was there when they attacked the city, they had to find someone to take the blame.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best!”
Tian Lu Bo could only agree, but his heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
There was not much strategy to speak of in a siege battle. Moreover, the soldiers of the Liang Country were desperately resisting. It would not be easy to break through Suiyang City in a short period of time.
Moreover, although he was a Great General, some of the strategies he proposed were often opposed by the King of Wu, Liu Bi, and his son, the Prince of Wu.
He could not mobilize the army at will, let alone carry out some strange schemes!
In fact, long before the rebellion of the Wu Kingdom, he had suggested to the King of Wu to split his forces and was willing to personally lead 50,000 troops along the Yangtze River and Huaihe River to capture Huainan, Changsha, and Wuguan. Then, he would split up and attack together with the King of Wu's main force in Guanzhong to win!
Unfortunately, the Prince of Wu seized the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. He thought that he would rebel after obtaining military power, so Liu Bi never adopted his plan. Instead, it made Liu Bi doubt his loyalty.
Now that the army was blocked in front of Sui Yang City and there were no surprise troops, the situation was very unfavorable for them.
" Your Majesty, Suiyang City is hard to break now, and the Han army is eyeing Changyi in the north of Liang. Why don't we give up Suiyang City and take a detour to seize Xingyang and Luoyang as soon as possible? As long as we occupy Luoyang's arsenal and Xingyang granary, and make good use of the natural barrier of the Yellow River to command the vassals, even if we can't attack Guanzhong, the world's situation will be settled as soon as possible!”
At this moment, a young general named Conservation cupped his fists and suggested.
Liu Bi stared at the young General Heng and said angrily,
"Not fighting anymore? I've been attacking for a month and so many soldiers have died. Now you want me to abandon Suiyang City?”
" Your Majesty, the army is moving very slowly and has been delayed for a long time. Moreover, our Wu and Chu armies are mostly infantry, while the Han court has many cavalry. Infantry is good for danger, and cavalry is good for flat land. Now that Suiyang City is on flat land, it is not good for our army. Our army has not been able to take it for a long time. We should take a detour and retreat as soon as possible. We can't delay our plans because of a city…"
General Heng wanted to say more.
"Shut up! Suiyang City is about to fall, how can I leave now? Wasn't this giving the enemy a breather?”
Liu Bi shouted.
"What does a young general like you know? We have an army of 300,000, and the Han Dynasty only has an army of 100,000.”
"That's right. If the army is at the front and doesn't care about the cities behind us, how can we do that?”
An old general saw Liu Bi's expression and immediately echoed and reprimanded him.
Hearing this, General Heng sighed in his heart and did not say anything else.
These old generals took advantage of their seniority and could not refute them even if they wanted to, especially since these old generals were deeply trusted by Liu Bi.
"Alright, don't say anything about retreating again to shake the morale of the army. Otherwise, kill them without mercy!”
"I think that Liu Wu won't be able to hold on for much longer. General Tian, speed up the attack. From now on, we will attack day and night.”
Liu Bi no longer paid attention to General Heng, but instead looked at Tian Lu Bo and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Great King!"
Tian Lu Bo had no choice but to respond.
