Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 529

In Ye City.

All Yuan Jun's soldiers were almost in despair. Looking at the flood in the ditches below the city tower, their mood was raised in their throats.

Speaking of...

Liu Bei was the best at concealing his mind, but Cao Cao was very good at attacking his mind. He knew that one of the most important reasons why the defenders of Yecheng survived was their loyalty to the Yuan family.

In this case, Cao Cao brought the "heart attack" mentioned by Yu'er to the extreme!
He sent troops to display Yuan Shang's seals and official uniforms outside the city, and rewarded two generals under Yuan Shang who surrendered, Ma Yan and Zhang Wei. collapse.

"call…"

With a long sigh, the judge who was stationed in Yecheng, his heart was heavier than that of the defenders.

However, as the chief general, he couldn't let his emotions leak out. Even if the sky was about to fall, he had to face it calmly.

——"Your lord is finished."

——"Why are you still holding on?"

——"Which one are you fighting for? Surrender quickly, Cao Jun treats the prisoners well!"

Downstairs, Cao Jun's messengers shouted continuously.

Every soldier of Yuan Jun on the towers had a bad face.

The judge's will is really not ordinary strong, he took a deep breath, and mobilized loudly to all the defenders.

"Cao's army is exhausted to the extreme now, and the reinforcements sent by the second son Yuan Xi from Youzhou are halfway through. We don't have to worry about not having a lord!"

"Keep it up! Keep it up."

"Everyone, don't forget, who is Cao Cao? He has always been 'the one who surrounds and then surrenders will not be forgiven', even if he surrendered? Can you survive?"

Yuan Jun didn't know if their lord Yuan Shang was dead or alive?

The judge simply changed the concept secretly, saying that the second son Yuan Xi's support is coming soon.

It stands to reason that these words are very unreliable and out of tune, and they are all based on imagination... Let alone morale, it is a luxury for the soldiers to listen to them.

But...it's different when these words come out of the judge's mouth.

He has always been a man of action. During the days of defending the city, he ate, slept and worked with the soldiers every day, and charged at the front line. He was extremely important in the hearts of the defenders of Yecheng.

It is also because of him that the entire city of Ye is still holding on.

never thought...

The words of the trial just blurted out.

Cao Jun's shouts from under the city tower sounded again.

It's just that the call this time was very special. It was not to persuade them to surrender, but countless soldiers sang Jizhou folk songs.

"—Enlisted in the army at fifteen, and returned at eighty. Dao met a villager: Who is there in the family?"

……

……

"The soup is cooked for a while, I don't know who it is! I went out and looked east, and my clothes were covered with tears."

This is the folk song "Five Years of Military Expedition" in the Han Yuefu. It describes the tragic scene of a veteran who joined the army at the age of 15 and was discharged from the army at the age of 80.

original…

This song is nothing, but unfortunately, it is sung in the local dialect of Jizhou, and the voice fills the sky, just like the "besieged on all sides" when the Chu and Han were fighting in the past!
Suddenly... all the defenders realized that this was their compatriots calling for them.

stop fighting…

stop fighting!
There are still 40 Yuan soldiers in the Cao camp?
Why do you have to fight to the death?
call…

call…

The defenders kept shedding tears, and at the end of the song "Fifteen Congregations", Cao Junzhong shouted in unison. "They are all compatriots, and those who surround and surrender later will not be killed! Only those who resist desperately will be buried in Jiuquan!"

That's the essence...

It doesn't matter if you don't surrender, I won't kill you!
But you have to resist desperately, the sword has no eyes, and there is nothing we can do!
This is like a different kind of persuasion. The good children who come first have candy to eat, and the ones who fight to the end and try their best to make trouble are the bear children, and they will be beaten to pieces!

PSYOP…

Undoubtedly, the psychological warfare used by Cao Cao achieved excellent results.

It is said that Lu Ziyu attacks the enemy and attacks the heart...

But Cao Cao's mental attack is equally amazing!
People are very realistic, the situation is here, the master of the Yuan family doesn't want them anymore, who are they still working hard for?

"call…"

At this moment, the examiner's partner clenched his fists tightly, his brows almost congealed into an upside-down character.

The so-called "second son Yuan Xi's reinforcements are coming soon", this kind of deceitful nonsense, now...he is the only one who believes it, right?

But...he never gave himself a reason to give in.

He wants to stick to the toughness and straightforwardness in his bones until the last moment of his life.

"Send the order down!"

The reviewer paused every word, with a sonorous tone. "If someone tries to defect, he will be shot and killed, and the whole family will be implicated!"

Uh…

All the defenders looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one answered. It was like a silent struggle.

It seems that at this moment, all the morality in the heart of the defenders has been buried by the desire to survive... They just simply want to live, this is the "instinct" of being a human being!
...

...

Cao Junjun's stronghold in Yecheng.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, barbecue was burning on the stove, and Cao Cao was receiving Yuan Jun's surrendered general.

These surrendered generals came from various counties in Jizhou, and some of them were originally the confidant generals of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan...

It seems... the current situation in the Northern Expedition is very good!
After a long conversation, after the wine and meat, Cao Cao sent the Huben army to resettle them... and sent generals to the counties to take over the cities.

As the time of siege of Yecheng increased, more and more prefects and county magistrates in Jizhou had their psychological defenses shattered, and they chose to surrender one after another.

In fact, this is a very good choice. On the one hand, there are the Yuan brothers who caused Xiao Qiang, and on the other hand, Cao Cao, who is growing in strength and attacking the enemy and heart!

Coupled with Cao Cao's classic sentence "Whoever surrounds and surrenders later will not be forgiven!"

Anyone whose brain has never been kicked by a donkey can easily make the right choice, right?
After sending off a group of surrendered generals, it was already late at night, but Cao Cao didn't feel sleepy at all. He stood outside the tent and looked up at Yecheng not far away.

"Fires are flickering on the tower, presumably Shen Zhengnan is on patrol!"

Cao Cao asked with great interest.

"That's right." Xi Zhicai opened his mouth and said, "If it wasn't for Shenzhengnan, the gates of Yecheng would have been opened long ago!"

"What a judge!" Cao Cao nodded, his eyes narrowed, as if he had noticed something. "The scouts came to report, and Shen Zhengnan seems to seldom inspect the east gate! Zhicai knows, why is this?"

"This..." Xi Zhicai didn't know these details.

"Haha..." Cao Cao laughed heartily, "Because the person in charge of guarding the east gate is Shen Zhengnan's nephew Shen Rong!"

Speaking of this... Cao Cao paused, and continued to add: "Lu Ziyu mentioned that this trial is the breakthrough point for us to attack Yecheng!"

Well…

Xi Zhicai was taken aback, this...it was the first time he had heard of it.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Cao Cao's words came out one after another.

"Zhongkang? How long has it been since the siege?"

"Counting tonight is 99 days." Xu Chu replied without thinking.

precisely…

As soon as the answer of "99 days" came out, Cao Cao's face suddenly became much more serious.

"Secretly order the generals of the battalions to besiege the city for a hundred days tomorrow, and break through the east gate in the middle of the night!"

Uh…

Xi Zhicai didn't understand.

"The prime minister is going to attack at night from the east gate? By force?"

"No!" Cao Cao waved his hand, but his tone softened all of a sudden. "Ziyu said that during the day, the city gate guarded by Shen Zhengnan's nephew Shen Rong will be opened!"

ah... ah...

Xi Zhi was stunned.

This…

His eyeballs rolled.

This is too exaggerated, a hundred days ago?Did Lu Yu have this prediction?
You must know that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent...

The battle situation is changing rapidly, the most important thing is that Lu Yu is not in Yecheng?

With a "gudong", Xi Zhicai swallowed subconsciously, this matter seemed mysterious to him!
Of course, it's not that he doesn't believe in Lu Yu, after all, Zhuyu is in front, this is not the first time!

But he admired Cao Cao even more. Lu Ziyu's words, Cao Cao's night attack, one is really daring to say, the other is really daring to do it, just like a joke!
"Judgment? Jury? East Gate?"

Looking at the back of Cao Cao walking away, Xi Zhicai bowed his head in thought...

"Could it be... long before the siege, did Ziyu deploy a chess piece in Yecheng that will be a hundred days later?"

"That's right...that's right, it seems...then Sima Zhongda never came back from Jizhou at all!"

Suddenly, Xi Zhi seemed to have figured out something.

His eyes narrowed, and he looked at the east gate of Ye City. Tomorrow evening... Will there be a breakthrough there?Most likely... it will be!

...

...

Ye City, East City Gate, within the official office.

Silent night...

The window of Shen Rong's residence fluttered, and one person pried open the window with a knife and jumped in.

"Who?"

Shen Rong suddenly got up from the bed, covered in armor, these days he was stationed in Yecheng, he never took off his armor.

And the sensitive nerves on his forehead also forced him not to take off his armor.

"Brother Shen, it's me!"

A familiar voice came out from the darkness, Shen Rong put away his saber immediately, he was too familiar with this voice, it was Xu You's son Xu Yuan.

In my impression, wasn't he rescued from Yecheng after his uncle Xu You defected to the enemy?
certainly…

Both Shen Rong and Xu Yuan are well-known "Second Generations of Officials" in Ye City. Although the relationship between their parents is not very good, their relationship is not bad.

"Xu Yuan? How dare you come back? Uncle wants you all over the city. If he finds out, you will die!"

After all, they are brothers who went whoring together... In one sentence, they are full of concern!

"I escaped, but came back again, and this time, I came back for you, brother trial!"

"I?"

Facing Xu Yuan's voice, Shen Rong was shocked.

You know, the relationship between their Shen family and Xu's family is not good... His uncle Shen Pei and Xu Yuan's uncle Xu You are even political enemies, and even ransacked Xu's family, but Shen Pei collected evidence and ordered it to be done.

"Brother Shen, what is the current situation? Can't you see it? There are not many people who can save you!"

Xu Yuan's voice came out again...

Shen Rong's heart thumped.

He seemed to know the purpose of Xu Yuan's coming here all at once... And here, Shen Rong first lowered his head and bit his lip, but seemed to think of his uncle's serious face.

"You... what are you talking about?"

He tried his best to keep his tone a little cooler, but... but after all, he didn't have the confidence.

His uncle Jianpei wants to die?But he's still young... He's dead, what will happen to so many girls in the brothel?Shen Rong still wants to live!

and many more…

Suddenly, Shen Rong thought of a question. "Xu Yuan, you? How did you get here? The East City Gate is heavily guarded... There are also soldiers standing outside my official office!"

"Ha ha."

At this moment, an indifferent voice came from outside the door.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and a man with sharp eagle-eyed eyes walked in. Behind him, there were still many defenders of the East City Gate.

"...Is there a lot of armored soldiers? Mr. Shen is probably overestimating himself?"

"Hehe, the master often teaches us that in the face of life, loyalty is never so reliable!"

tread... tread...

Shen Rong seemed to realize something, his legs staggered, and he fell to the ground...

He couldn't stop murmuring: "Who are you? Who are you...?"

The visitor just groaned softly.

——"Under the Commander Lu of the Long Xiao camp, Tai student, Chief Lu's closed disciple—Sima Zhongda!"

Not Sima Yi from the Hanoi Sima Clan, but Sima Zhongda, Lu Yu's closed disciple...

Once upon a time, Sima Yi had already put this title on his lips, and this identity made him extremely honorable.

Accompanied by his sharp eyes, Shen Rong could only feel that every part of his body was trembling, trembling violently.

"Zhongda..." Xu Yuan moaned, but was stopped by Sima Yi waving his hand.

His voice continued. "The defenders at the East City Gate are very transparent. In fact...there are only two roads in front of Mr. Shen and all the soldiers. One is 'a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good day chooses a master to serve'. The other is to hold your head up. , just like your uncle, wanting to die!"

goo-dong...

Shen Rong felt his heart tremble suddenly.

Sima Yi walked towards him step by step, and stretched out his hand to signal to pull him up. "The Shen family is considered a famous family in Wei County, right? Your uncle Shen Zhengnan wants to die, so is the Shen family going to follow his family?"

Uh…

With these words blurted out, Shen Rong's original sense of guilt turned into an infinite sense of mission in an instant.

Yes…

Uncle can wish for death wholeheartedly, but...but can't the Judgment family be absolutely in his generation?

He...he had to live!Even if it is dead alive, as long as it survives, future generations of judges will have hope.

"me…"

Shen Rong hesitated.

Sima Yi still stretched out his right hand: "Don't panic, choose slowly!"

He seemed very confident and calm...as if all this had been settled early in the morning.

You know, long before Cao Jun went north, Sima Yi received a letter from Lu Yu, asking him to contact Shen Rong after he was besieged in Yecheng for a hundred days...

If history develops according to the original trajectory, among the generals guarding Yecheng, the first one to collapse is Shen Rong!

Shenpei wants to die, but Shenrong's thoughts are completely different from his. It is better to live than to die!

Of course, Sima Yi didn't know about this, he just felt that his master Lu Yu had no plans to spare, since he proposed it in advance, he just did it!

There will never be any mistakes!

call…

The heavy breathing sound continued to resound.

After a long time... Shen Rong raised his head slowly, stretched out his hand, grabbed Sima Yi's hand, and with the help of Sima Yi's strength, he stood up.

At this moment, Shen Rong gritted his teeth and lowered his head...

Muttered a sentence in the mouth.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, Wei Jun's family can't stop here in Yecheng! Uncle...yes...sorry!"

Again!
In troubled times, every individual attaches great importance to the family!
Many times, for the continuation of the family, they can betray or sacrifice some people!

"That's right!" Sima Yi nodded and patted Shen Rong on the shoulder. "Brother Shen Rong was the first to break through Ye City. The Wei County Shen family is full of glory!"

just like…

Sima Yi is also very good at attacking the mind, and his mind attacking skills are also amazing!
...

...

Xu Ducheng, the school affairs office.

The lamp was extinguished, and the faint moonlight shone through the window and fell on the ground, like hoarfrost sprinkled all over the ground.

Lu Yu was still in the school affairs office. After the Taixue had classes during the day, he stayed in the school affairs office and listened to the reports of school affairs...especially about the situation in Yecheng.

The most critical moment has come!

but…

From Guo Jia's point of view, Lu Yu shouldn't go home in the middle of the night...

You know, in today's Baimahou Mansion, there are the Wannian princess Liu Xue, the daughter of the Xiahou Mansion, Xia Houjuan, two wives, and two concubines, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, not to mention... the most talented woman in the world... Miss Yan is among them!
This should be the rhythm of lingering, right?

Lu Yu didn't go home in the middle of the night, it was a bit weird!

"Ziyu, have you been in poor health recently?"

Guo Jia was the first to tease and said...

"Body?"

With such a sudden sentence, Lu Yu raised his head with a puzzled look on his face. "What? What's wrong?"

"Two wives, two concubines? Can't you let Ziyu go home?" Guo Jia simply asked. "If this spreads out, it's inevitable that people won't be able to avoid a series of articles. If it's not complete, there will be rumors that Baimahou's body was hollowed out by the two wives of the Marquis's residence, and he no longer dares to return to the residence!"

"Ah…"

Guo Jia's words directly gave Lu Yu to Dou Le.

"Speak seriously!" Lu Yu changed the subject.

"Are the two wives not serious?" Guo Jia asked with a smile...

"Cough cough..." Lu Yu coughed lightly, "Come on, the second wife will not be able to see her one day? But Yecheng fell, and after passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Oh…

Guo Jia nodded, and followed Lu Yu's words and said with emotion: "It turns out that Ziyu is thinking about Yuan Benchu's second wife!"

certainly…

Lu Yu could tell that Yuan Benchu's second wife was not a woman in Guo Jia's mouth. To be precise, they were two forces.

Henan!

Hebei!

"Feng Xiao, I don't know when the battle report will be delivered, so let's talk about Yuan Benchu's two 'wifes'!"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "Guo also has the same intention!"

"Where do we start?" Lu Yu asked.

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly. "This can only start from the Battle of Guandu!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia asked Lu Yu with a smile. "Ziyu, if I say that in the battle of Guandu, even without you, Lu Ziyu, Prime Minister Cao could win more with less and defeat Yuan Shao, do you believe it?"

"Of course!" Lu Yu nodded.

They are all smart people...the content of the chat does not need to be too detailed, but in general terms, they all know.

"Yuan Shao, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Chunyu Qiong, Xu You, Feng Ji, these are all from Yuzhou! Those who are south of the Yellow River are from Henan!" Guo Jia started.

Lu Yu took over. "Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and Zhang He are all from Jizhou! To the north of the Yellow River, you are from Hebei!"

"So..." Guo Jia continued: "Yuan Shao brought a group of Henan people to live in Hebei. This is the territory of the Hebei people, but there is a lord Yuan Shao among the Henan people! The two factions in Henan and Hebei are fighting openly and secretly, and they are evenly matched!"

"Exactly, Jushou and Tian Feng from Hebei made great contributions in defeating Gongsun Zan. If they defeated Cao Cao again in the battle of Guandu and made great achievements, then the power of Hebei people, Yuan Shao, will not be able to hold back! Even Jushou can use 'Yuan Shao' to command The Northland!"

Guo Jia deliberately stopped talking here.

"That's why." Lu Yu continued his words. "Yuan Shao wanted to divide Jushou's military power early in the morning, but he couldn't say it clearly. This requires Guo Tu to speak out on behalf of Yuan Shao and spread it...It became a 'villain' Guo Tujin's slander, Yuan Shao didn't know right from wrong, Actually, it's all Yuan Shao's plan!"

Guo Jia nodded in agreement. "The military power is divided into three parts, Guo Tu, Chunyu Qiong, and Jushou each. At that time, Yuan Shao sent Chunyu Qiong and Guo Tu to fight the white horse in order to help the people of Henan. Yan Liang became the general! Afterwards, Ziyu’s strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west! Yuan Shao transferred Guo Tu and Chunyu Qiong back to Yanjin, leaving only Yan Liang to continue attacking the white horse!”

Speaking of here…

Guo Jia paused.

"Ju Shou suggested that Yan Liang should not be the general alone. This is the protection of the Hebei people for the Hebei people. The two Henan people left, leaving a Hebei person to lead the army alone. The boss in Hebei was in a hurry and said that Yan Liang was going to be in trouble alone. Yuan Shao But pretending not to hear! This is because the Hebei faction is too strong, weakening it is not a bad thing, and this is an offensive war, can you run if you can't beat it? You don't lose ground!"

"And Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong are from Henan, and they will not rescue Yan Liang, which makes Yan Liang a lone army! In fact, Ziyu's strategy of attacking east and west is far from clever, and Guo Tu may be able to see through it, but he You don’t want to break your consciousness! After all, isn’t it just for that bit of power?”

Talk about "conspiracy theory" here...

Lu Yu rolled his eyes, and suddenly moved closer to Guo Jia.

"Brother Feng Xiao? Could it be that you left Yuan Shao not because Yuan Shao was useless, but because you felt that the battle between Henan and Hebei was destined to hurt both?"

"Ha ha…"

Guo Jia smiled, he got up slowly, and walked to the window. "Is this still important?"

"Compared to this, it seems more interesting that people from Hebei are guarding Yecheng, Guo Tu from Henan is guarding Nanpi, and Ziyu is besieging Yecheng. For Henan and Hebei, Ziyu may not be as simple as 'surrounding Wei and saving Zhao'. Instead, we should destroy 'Wei' first, and then 'Zhao', right?"

"When it comes to strategizing, I am inferior to Ziyu after all!"
