Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2183 Li Xiang's plan, the Jin Emperor's dominance

The two armies of Wang Zhongsi and Guo Ziyi blocked the north and south, and at the same time blocked the enemy reinforcements.

Although, whether it was Tian Rangju who was entangled with Zhang Liao and Hulugu in the Hanzhong camp, or Tian Dan who had lost all his main forces, they were no longer able to come to the rescue at this time.

However, Li Xiang still took precautionary measures and did not allow these two armies to continue their actions.

Even without these two troops, the remaining troops under his command would be more than enough to deal with Zhao Kuangyin.

After that, when Li Xiang had taken control of the outer counties bit by bit, he was finally ready for the final battle against Zhao Kuangyin.

Most of the counties in the periphery did not have many soldiers and horses, and even most of the people did not have the stubborn confidence. Along the way, countless people surrendered at the sight of the enemy.

Among Zhao Kuangyin's forces, there were still only a few stubborn resistance factions or those like Luo Shaowei who regarded themselves as the mortal enemies of the Jin army.

Most of them were actually opportunists like Zhao Ji, Zhao Gou, Tian Bu, Tian Yinqi, Chen Baxian, Wei Si, etc., or like Zhao Gui, who seemed to be of iron character and would rather die than surrender.

  However, until the last moment, how can we know whether the other party is truly strong and unyielding or has not recognized his own heart!

Some people are really strong and unyielding. Jing Si, Xia Luqi and others belong to this type. Once they acknowledge their master, they will not regret it even if they die nine times.

But the iron will of some people is just an illusion just because they haven't reached that time yet. Even this illusion confuses them themselves.

"Zhao Kuangyin! If you don't surrender within three days, when the city is captured, all the soldiers and civilians in the city will be slaughtered!"

"I will kill all nine clans of those who resist!"

Before attacking the city, Li Xiang made such a bold statement, a statement full of blood.

Li Xiang decided to force the speculators in the city. He knew very well that there were actually many speculators hiding in the city. Once the city was breached, it would be natural for them to capture them alive. The next step would be to follow the natural process and change their identities to work for Da Jin.

Such a process is also to preserve their reputation as much as possible.

Not to mention, many of them still had their families in Di Qing's hands, which was really the best of both worlds. Many people in the city must have had this idea at this time.

However, there are not so many things in this world that are the best of both worlds, and no one person can have all the good things in the world.

If he, Lao Li, was happy, he would not suggest cooperating with them. But if he was not happy, even if he did not cooperate with them, what would it matter?

If they dare to resist to the end, do they really think the sword in his hand is useless?

He is now a monarch, so he should keep his word! He actually said that he would kill all nine clans, so even if he was wrong, he would never hold back when he should.

If we force these speculators to make the right choice directly, the next battle will definitely be much easier.

However, Li Xiang's plan was a risky one!

If used well, it will naturally force those fence-sitters in the city to jump out as much as possible. Once chaos breaks out in the city, no matter how solid the city is, it will eventually be no different from a paper-made one.

  But if it is not used properly, it may backfire!

If these people were forced to have no hope of survival, they would also fight desperately! However, just like when Zhao Kuangyin used this strategy in the face of Cao Cao, Li Xiang dared to use such a strategy at this time. Even if it was not a sure thing, he had a certain degree of confidence in his hands.

"This thief Li!" Li Xiang's domineering declaration made Zhao Kuangyin angrily punch the city wall in front of him.

But his palms were made of flesh, while the city wall was made of stone. The city wall didn't feel anything when he hammered down with such force in anger, but a normal mortal would definitely feel terrible pain.

  However, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be unaware of it!

He had used similar methods before! But because he had used them before, he knew that this overbearing method was indeed a dangerous plan, but once it succeeded, it would be a huge blow to the party being designed.

But at this stage, Zhao Kuangyin could not withstand such a domineering strategy!

Because he knew very well that given his current situation and his inner humanity, this strategy hit him right in the sore spot.

"Order Luo Shaowei, Yao Si, Xia Shuyan, and Zhao Bifang to each lead 300 soldiers and horses to guard the four gates."

"From today onwards, unless I come in person, anyone except the four generals who gets within twenty steps of the city wall will be killed without asking the reason!" Zhao Kuangyin gave the order in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Since Li Xiang dared to use such a domineering strategy, he simply wanted to force some wavering people in the city.

Zhao Kuangyin had no way to solve the problem that weighed heavily on people's hearts. At this point, if any trouble really happened, he could only minimize the impact.

As long as they can keep an eye on the city gates and prevent them from opening from the inside, the situation will not develop into the worst all at once. At least even if something happens, it will give them a certain amount of buffer time.

The four people he sent to guard the city gate, Luo Shaowei, Yao Si and Xia Shuyan, were all mortal enemies of the Jin army.

Luo Shaowei and Yao Si all had paternal murder grudges against the Jin army. Luo Shaowei's father, Luo Hongxin, was seriously injured by Houyi and then killed by Kuafu. Yao Si's father, Yao Bao, was killed in the hands of the Jin army just as the Central Plains War began.

As for Xia Shuyan, it was because of Xia Luqi.

The last of the four, Zhao Bifang, was a powerful general from Zhao Kuangyin's clan.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin was never 100% confident in his clan. The examples of Zhao Ji, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gui were enough to show that his own family was definitely not 100% reliable.

At this time, for Zhao Kuangyin, generals like Luo Shaowei, Yao Si, and Xia Shuyan, who had become mortal enemies of the Jin army, made him feel more at ease.

  But, how could he find so many people like this who are also capable enough?

Therefore, although he did not completely trust the clan, at this time, he could only let Zhao Bifang take over.

"I have received your order!" Four powerful generals stepped forward at the same time.

"From today on, the whole city is under curfew. Generals Yao Xiong and Yao Gu will lead the troops to patrol the night!"

Yao Xiong and Yao Gu, these two are the sons of Yao Si and grandsons of Yao Bao who died in battle. They are in their twenties, the best time for a young person.

Both of them were famous young heroes in Zhao Kuangyin's army.
