Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54, Attacking Julu, Zhang Mancheng Surrenders (Part [-])
The main force of the Yellow Turban Army was wiped out, but there are still a large number of Yellow Turban Army occupying the capital, supporting their own strength.

He Jin discussed with the generals, and the generals would lead their soldiers to encircle and suppress the surrounding Yellow Turban bandits. Lu Bu was ordered to lead his old troops to besiege Zhang Mancheng's troops in Julu County, Julu County.

According to reports from spies, Zhang Mancheng led [-] troops to occupy Julu County and guard the city. There were over [-] people in the city, all of whom had become their hostages. There was no food in the city. The soldiers all ate bark and grass roots. There are a large number of people starving to death.

Lu Bu and others besieged Julu County for three days. No matter how they cursed and provoked, Zhang Mancheng's army would not fight behind closed doors.

Inside the big tent, Dian Wei's strong body was walking back and forth, "No matter how much we yell at these sons of bitches, they don't want to come out of the city to fight. I'm so calm, brother, why don't we attack Go to the city."

Lu Bu stared at the map and shook his head slightly, "No, the enemy army has [-] civilians in their hands. You must not act rashly, anger them, and kill all these [-] civilians. What can you do?"

"Then shall we just wait like this? I heard that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the bandits under their charge have all been wiped out," Zhang Liao said calmly.

"What is the best strategy for filial piety?" Lu Bu asked.

Guo Jia's eyebrows moved slightly, "Since it is impossible to attack the city, we should focus on attacking the heart."

Everyone was curious, and they all gathered around, "What is the best way to attack the heart?"

"Right now, Julu County has already run out of food and grass. Both the soldiers and the common people have no food to eat. Everyone should know what kind of experience it is to be without food. I dare to conclude that the three thousand Yellow Turbans inside have completely lost their combat power. , I just worried that our army would slaughter all of them like Huangfusong after breaking through the city, so I defended the city to the death.

The Yellow Turban Army did not have any beliefs in their hearts. The reason why they revolted was that they were bewitched by Zhang Jiao's forces on the one hand, and on the other hand they wanted to pursue a better life. Deep down in their hearts, they still longed for survival.

Right now, we can set up ten large pots outside the city gate, and boil broth and rice porridge in the pots.

Dian Wei licked his lips, "What's the use of this?"

A deep smile appeared on the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, "This is the key to victory or defeat."

"Currently, the Yellow Turban Army has not eaten food for several days. At this time, what is the most attractive thing to them?
That was food, of course. Seeing the broth and rice porridge under the city, this had undoubtedly broken the line of defense deep in their hearts.

Secondly, order a small group of troops to sneak into the city, spread the news, and tell the Yellow Turban Army that as long as they open the city and surrender.

Our army did not kill a single person, and food and broth had already been prepared outside the city for the soldiers to enjoy.

In the end, the key to whether the Yellow Turban Army can open the city and surrender lies in the leader Zhang Mancheng. If Zhang Mancheng can be persuaded or killed, Julu City will be won without a fight.

Everyone suddenly woke up.

However, when Guo Jia said the first half of the plan, Lu Bu had roughly guessed the second half of the plan, which was a scheming.

"General, please issue orders," the generals asked for orders.

Lu Bu frowned and thought for a moment, then let out a deep breath, "Dian Wei listens to the order."

Dian Wei was overjoyed, thinking he was going to be sent to assassinate Zhang Mancheng, he grinned excitedly.

"Order you to lead the logistics soldiers to set up ten cauldrons under the city tower, light a fire to cook, and cook the broth and rice porridge."

Hearing this, Dian Wei stared at him, instantly unhappy, and lowered his head like a child, "I won't go, cooking meat and porridge is what girls do, I'm going to kill thieves" .

Everyone burst into laughter immediately. There must be a reason why Dian Wei was not allowed to assassinate Zhang Mancheng. He has a violent temper and is not good at strategy.

"Tiger, you are already a general, why are you still acting like a child? This is the task assigned to you by the elder brother, and it is also the key to the success or failure of this battle. If you are not willing, I will hand it over to General Zhang Liao. When the time comes But it’s all on General Zhang Liao’s head.”

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, "Then I'd better go," and then strode out with a pair of halberds in hand.

Everyone laughed for a while.

Lu Bu's face became serious again, "As for spreading the news, leave it to Zhou Cang and Luo Song to do it."

"Assassination of Zhang Mancheng, Luo Cheng and I will go there, and the others will prepare for the war, how about it."

Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Lu Bu prepared ten brothers of Wei Wuzu to sneak into the city tonight.

At noon, Dian Wei had already set up ten large cauldrons, and the broth and rice porridge had been cooked thoroughly in the cauldrons, and a few large characters were posted beside them, those who left the city to surrender would not be killed.

Above the city tower, hundreds of city guards drooled all over the place looking at the steaming white rice porridge.

A few soldiers couldn't stand it anymore and threw away their weapons, "I'm quitting, I'm going down to drink porridge and eat meat."

The others licked their lips, and a man with a beard walked right in front of him. The soldiers were a little scared when they saw him.

The soldier who was taking off his armor had just raised his head when a long knife had already been slashed down, "This is the end of surrender, you wait for me to guard the city, whoever dares to take half a step back will definitely slash his body!" head".

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they could only swallow their saliva uncontrollably, how could they dare to think of surrendering.

Nearly ten thousand people, who hadn't eaten for several days, heard that broth and rice porridge had been prepared outside the city, and they all rushed out of the city like crazy.

Zhang Mancheng bowed down, and hundreds of bows and arrows had already pierced the people.

"whoosh whoosh"

There were screams everywhere, the corpses of the people were everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and the rest of the people quickly retreated.

"You stay in the city honestly, and those who surrender will die," Zhang Mancheng roared loudly.

Zhang Mancheng walked into the big tent and drank a mouthful of porridge made from bark, feeling nauseated in his stomach. Now that the three generals are dead, Zhang Mancheng also wants to surrender, but he is the main force of the Yellow Turbans. If he surrenders, the court will definitely not let him go , can only desperately defend the city, in order to seek a glimmer of life.

Thinking of the rice porridge and broth outside the city, he couldn't help but licked his lips, "Damn it, these sons of bitches are really vicious."

After touching his stomach, he could only lie on the bed weakly to reduce energy consumption.

"whoosh whoosh"

In a daze, he suddenly felt several black shadows rushing into the room.

Zhang Mancheng stood up violently, and was about to get the weapon, but the famous Zhenyue sword in Lu Bu's hand had already reached his neck.

Some panicked, "Hero, spare your life."

"Those who surrender live, those who resist die," Lu Bu said coldly.

"Why don't I want to surrender, but I have killed so many officers and soldiers, even if I surrender, you will definitely not spare me," Zhang Mancheng said tremblingly.

"I, Lu Bu, have always looked at people and not things. As long as you are willing to surrender, I will not kill you and give you a chance to reform. If you dare to be stubborn and resist to the death, I will take your dog tonight life," Lu Bu said.

"Surrender, surrender, as long as the general does not kill me, I am willing to lead three thousand soldiers to the general's account."

Lu Bu was overjoyed, he didn't expect to get another three thousand generals, and was about to put away his hands to suppress the mountain, Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, "No general, if we let him go, if he goes back on his word, we will definitely face the enemy, and then we will face countless enemies." Thousands of troops, how to resist."

Lu Bu hesitated a little, but in the end he chose to trust Zhang Mancheng. After all, the temptation of three thousand soldiers was too great, and wouldn't it be great if he surrendered without fighting.

Immediately took Zhang Mancheng and walked outside the big tent.
