Zhao Tailai heard this without changing his expression and said, "This won't work. If we do this, the rebellion of the Guzha tribe will be impossible to hide."
Suping coldly said, "The battle has reached this point, how much longer do you intend to hide It's time to show your value."
"The Guza tribe naturally wants to demonstrate its value, but this isn't the place. Just a batch of supplies isn't worth it," Zhao Tai insisted.
Su Pingbei's face darkened, but he still patiently said: "So what is your plan"
Zhao Tailai began, "My plan is similar to General Su's. I will still go as a representative of the Guzha tribe to meet with the leader of this unit. However, we cannot remove their guards. The Liao army has strict discipline, and the Guzha tribe holds a low status. It is unlikely that the leader of this unit would easily believe us and withdraw their guards."
"So, I plan to tell them there's an ambush waiting for them."
As soon as these words left his lips, the soldiers beside Su Pingbei began to stir.
A few hotheads even nearly drew their swords.
They all began to suspect whether Zhao Tailai was a human or a ghost.
Su Pingbei, though, remained calm. He gestured to his subordinates to stay composed, then looked at Zhao Tailei, waiting for his next move.
Zhao Tailai spoke slowly, saying: "What is truly difficult to distinguish is the half-truth and half-falsehood. The ambush was real, but diverting the tiger away from the mountain was also real."
"This plan requires General Su to dispatch a unit as bait, making the Liao army believe it's true. They will naturally send troops to pursue, thus allowing the Guza tribe to remain hidden, and your objectives can be achieved."
Su Ping lowered his voice and said, "In that case, will those brothers of mine who served as bait still be alive to return"
Zhao Tailai exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't General Su make preparations for the possibility of not being able to return when you left the pass"
This left Su Pingbei speechless.
He bit his lip and added, "But what if they only send a small force in pursuit"
Then it depends on the skill of General Su's men.
Zhao Tailai glanced at the soldiers beside Su Pingbei, and said lightly: "Give them a big enough threat, and they will naturally dispatch more troops. The Guza tribe will stay behind in the name of mutual defense. Once General Su's side makes a move, the Guza tribe and General Su will cooperate inside and out. This batch of supplies will be easily obtained."
Su Ping quickly went over the entire plan in his mind, and then he had to admit that Zhao Taile's plan was much more complete than his own.
This taste is not pleasant.
When Zhao Tailai was in the capital, he was nothing more than a dissolute young master. He had never been someone who caught his eye, but now, he had to rely on Zhao Tailai to complete his mission.
Letting out a frustrated sigh, Su Pingbei wasted no time. He said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll do it your way.”
Zhaotai Lai raised an eyebrow slightly, seeming a little surprised by Supingbei's quick agreement.
Su Pingbei sank his voice and said, “For the sake of completing the military order given to me by Your Highness, I can sacrifice anything. I hope you don't let me down.”
Zhao Tailai let out a light chuckle, swung himself onto his horse, and said, "When will General Su have his men ready"
"Fifteen minutes."
Su Pingbei arrogantly said, "None of the brothers under my command are afraid of death."
He took a long look at Su Pingbei and Zhao Tailai said, "This plan will absolutely not go wrong on my end."n after returning, or retaliate against you personally"Li Chen's question caused Zhao Xuanji's face to darken. He said, "Your Majesty, this old minister does not understand your meaning.""If you don't...
