Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14: Jia Xu's Heart Attack
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Xiliang Army, which was over 86000 strong, approached the city again.

Standing on the tower, Lu Bu lamented how difficult the people of Xiliang are.They have a tenacity and will not be easily defeated.Historically, Dong Zhuo led them for several years. After Dong Zhuo died, Li Jue and Guo Fan led them for several more years. Even after the two died due to internal strife, the remaining dozen warlords were still the masters of Guanzhong for more than ten years!

However, because of this, wouldn't it be more fulfilling to defeat them?Doesn't it mean that he is strong, and that Lu Fengxian is unparalleled in the world?
The Xiliang army marched steadily, advancing slowly but steadily.

This time, they learned the previous lesson and stationed ten miles away from Lichang'an City.In this way, it would not be so easy for Lu Bu to sneak attack again. As soon as he left the city gate, the scouts from Xiliang would pass the news to the army.Moreover, in order to deal with Lu Bu's sneak attack, the Xiliang people also set up a lot of repelling horses, antlers, fences and the like.

The army is mighty and mighty, but the huge phalanx is obviously missing one piece compared to last time.

Not only that, but the sequelae left by Lu Bu's assault are still like a ghost, silently affecting the soldiers in Xiliang, including their fighting spirit and morale.

He watched the Xiliang Army's garrison from a distance, and seemed to feel that the people of Xiliang were overly cautious, a little timid.It is a pity that his mobile force is too small, and it is difficult to successfully carry out another surprise attack when the opponent is prepared.

Of course, Lu Bu can also take most of the troops out, but what if the Xiliang soldiers stick to their camps, or refuse to fight, and then send out a mobile corps to attack Chang'an City in a detour?
This is a disadvantage of the defenders.

Of course, high walls, deep trenches, and solid fortifications are another advantage of the defenders.

Siege and defense, the purpose of the two sides is different, which determines the initiative of the two sides, and the environment of the two sides is different, which determines the innate conditions of the two sides.The attacking side and the defending side are different, so it is said in military books that good attackers are not necessarily good at defending; good defenders are not necessarily good at attacking.

In order to make up for the shortage of troops, Lu Bu recruited the people to help defend the city; Chang'an City has a population of 20, which refers to the registered civilians, and the nearly 25 logistics soldiers are actually only a part of them.However, the imperial guards and mobile combat forces guarding the city, as well as the private soldiers of the big clans, and some refugees, etc., are not counted in this. According to Lu Bu's estimation, the total population of the entire Chang'an City is about 26 to [-].

In order to make up for the lack of conditions, Li Jue and others began to build siege equipment.

The confrontation between the two sides has begun.

"Military division, is there a good strategy for attacking the city?" Li Jue and the others were very modest and asked for advice.

"The general already has a plan, why do you still ask me?" Jia Xu laughed.

"Uh, the military master was joking..." Li Jue couldn't help being taken aback.

"The general said that attacking the city is the bottom line, so the next sentence, isn't it that attacking the heart is the top priority?" Jia Xu woke up.

"Haha! That's right, I thought the same way, but I haven't thought of a specific approach yet." Li Jue was praised, a little triumphant, and seemed to be really resourceful.

"Our army is newly defeated, and morale is a little low. You can send a letter asking for surrender!" Jia Xu said surprisingly.

"What! Military division! How can we do it! How could we surrender?" Guo Fan said in a hurry.

"Haha! Is it a false surrender?" Li Jue said thinking he had figured out the mystery.

"Everyone, Wang Yun and Lu Bu want your heads wholeheartedly. Last time, our army asked to surrender and was rejected! Therefore, no matter whether we surrender falsely or actually surrender, Lu Bu will definitely not accept it!" Jia Xu said The truth of it.

"Then why do we still do this?" Li Jue was very surprised.

"That's to boost morale! Earlier, General Niu Fu was killed because his morale was low and his soldiers mutinied, so he ran away and was killed! Our army demanded to surrender, not once, not twice, not every time! Take the opportunity Tell the soldiers, that way, the soldiers will know that it is either victory or death! The enemy will not accept surrender anyway! Then, it will boost morale!" Jia Xu explained.

"You guys will know that you can't take chances! You can only fight to the death! Fight to the death!" Guo Fan said happily.

"So that's how it is! The mourning army will win! It's all over the boat! Put it to death and survive!" Li Jue also said proudly, and popped out a lot of words to show his intelligence and wisdom.

"Yes! Fight to the death!" Fan Chou also came, very excited.

Do it now!

Therefore, the Xiliang people sent out the first wave of messengers.

"The Xiliang people want to surrender!?" Lu Buqi said after receiving the envoy.

"That's right! Our army and your army are on strike, and we are friendly! Well water does not interfere with river water!" The messenger, a scribe, said sincerely.

"Haha! Who would believe this!" Lv Bu sneered, "You really think I have no plan! More than 8 people came to Chang'an City, and the soldiers approached the city. You said you were here to make soy sauce? Who would believe it!"

"Soy sauce..." the messenger was a little confused, "Marquis Wen, I'm telling the truth!" But he still continued.

"No need, the two armies are at war, if you don't kill the envoy, go back!" Lu Bu said coldly.

It must be a false surrender, Lu Bu has no doubts about this.

Besides, even if they really surrendered, how would they deal with so many people?The court ally, Situ Wangyun, how to explain?

The two armies continued to confront each other, and the Xiliang people seemed to have no plans to attack the city. Lu Bu took the opportunity to continue to accumulate equipment for defending the city, store food and grass, strengthen the city walls, and train soldiers.He knew that war would definitely come, and if he wanted to gain a foothold, he had to defeat the Xiliang Military Group!Defensive counterattack!
However, the Xiliang people were uncharacteristically, sending messengers and letters every time for several days in a row, demanding surrender.

Lu Bu refused every time.

"This paragraph seems a bit familiar! Ah! Come to think of it, isn't this a way for the Xiliang people to play tricks? It's Jia Xu!" After several similar encounters, Lu Bu finally came to his senses.

On this day, the messenger came again.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court, and this Marquis all accept your terms! Agree to your surrender!" Lu Bu suddenly smiled, uncharacteristically.

"Uh!" The messenger was taken aback, a little speechless.

"What? Didn't you surrender? How dare you tease Your Majesty, the court, and this Marquis! How courageous!" Lu Bu said angrily.

"Come here, drive him out!" Lu Bu didn't talk nonsense, the other party's goal has been achieved a lot!But, I, Lu Fengxian, saw through it!He was still biting his teeth with hatred, this Jia Xu was really hard to deal with!

But at this moment, in the Xiliang Army, Li Jue, Guo Fan and others are encouraging the soldiers.

"Boys! Mr. Lu Bu! He has rejected our surrender several times in a row! This guy wants to wipe out our Xiliang soldiers and people!" They waved letters, shouting and agitating. "You say, he won't let us survive, what should we Xiliang heroes do?"

"Let's not let him live yet!" Someone shouted when the soldier was stroked, and the response was naturally "Trust".

"That's right!" Li Jue shouted hoarsely, "We are good men! Don't let Lu Bu live! Break into Chang'an! We must win!"

"Enter Chang'an City! We must win!" The soldiers shouted, the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and the morale of the Xiliang people returned immediately.

Jia Xu's strategy of attacking the mind is very good. After some operation, the Xiliang soldiers are all high-spirited and angry, and they are about to break into Chang'an City after the Taishi moved the capital, and reproduce the glory of the Xiliang Army!Become the master of the imperial capital Chang'an!
