Chapter 40 The Letter of Persuasion Enters the Customs

"There are arrows on this side, too!"

"I have it on my side, too!"

"Almost every one of them!"

Many of the soldiers who cleaned up the arrows saw the letters of surrender tied to the arrows.

"On the afternoon of the autumn of the first year of the first year, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty said: In the past, the country was unfortunate, and the eunuchs took power, so that the imperial power declined, and the thieves watched, and I was wrong. The powerful ministers and thieves who are close to him, link up with the party, corrupt the dynasty, and reward and punish are not the intention of me.

Today, I have successfully killed the traitor Dong Zhuo, except for his wings Li Ru, but there are still Dong Zhuo's remnants who ignore the laws of the imperial court and intend to endanger our Han Jiangshan Sheji. I sighed all night, fearing that the Son of Heaven would be in danger, so I had no choice but to send troops to fight and rebel.

The Xiliang soldiers in the city are all my big men. In the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, I declared that anyone who raised troops without authorization would be guilty of rebellion, and those who released the army and surrendered would not be prosecuted.

If you can capture the head of the thief and capture Li Dao alive, the reward will be 1,000 and 100 households. ”

"Woohoo! My compatriots, you are all my sons, I will not be able to compensate you and others in the end, and as for killing you, it will be painful! The edict of the first year of the first year of autumn and July. ”

When they opened the book of persuasion with curiosity, they were immediately shocked.

"This ...... This is the book of persuasion of today. ”

Dong Zhuo..... Dong Xiangguo is dead, and the Son of Heaven is back in power?"

"This ...... Could it be that what General Lu Bu said just before the battle was all true?"

After seeing the letter of persuasion, many Xiliang soldiers suddenly came back to their senses and understood the ins and outs of the matter.

All of this can also be explained, why Dong Zhuo's shadow was not seen during this time, and why he suddenly retreated from Sizhou and retreated to this Hangu Pass.

There is only one reason, that is, Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Son of Heaven is back in power. In the name of the Son of Heaven, he drove the expedition and killed the rebels.

"The general is lying to us, this war is not Lu Bu's rebellion, but our rebellion against the Son of Heaven. ”

"Could it be that the person who was flocked by the army under the city before was not a general, but today, His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. ”

Seeing the letter of persuasion, I couldn't help but think of the mighty figure of the army patrolling before the war, surrounded by tens of thousands of people.

They suddenly thought about it, although that figure was riding a horse, and was not wearing a battle helmet, but wearing a dark dragon robe and a crown on his head, it seemed to be the costume of the Son of Heaven!

That is His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and all the people worship the Son of Heaven!

As long as it is a great Han people, no matter who it is, when it comes to the Son of Heaven, everyone is in awe,

After all, since childhood, he has been influenced by Confucianism of heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers, and the teachers of heaven and earth are the legitimacy and rationality of ethics and morality in ancient Chinese traditional society.

Jun constitutes the core of the ancient feudal patriarchal thought, and life in the world must be based on "loyalty to the monarch and filial piety". In ancient feudal society, this seems to have been an eternal truth!

In everyone's subconscious, rebelling against the Son of Heaven is equivalent to going against heaven, which is tantamount to self-destruction.

At this moment, it is not only the Xiliang soldiers on the tower of the main gate of Hangu Pass, but also because of the stray arrows shooting into the city all over the city, many Xiliang soldiers have picked it up intentionally or unintentionally, when they see the letter of persuasion, almost everyone has an idea to make a living, and I am now rebelling.

It is a rebel army against the Son of Heaven.

"What are you looking at?"

Because of the surrender, many Xiliang soldiers fell into deep thought, and this slight change was also noticed by Li Dao.

"General...... Could it be that Lord Xiangguo is really dead?" asked a young general in a trembling voice.

"Bastard, how many heads do you have enough to cut off, dare to curse Lord Xiangguo?" Li Dao frowned and scolded.

"Little ...... The villain doesn't dare, yes..... It was written on the arrow shot by the enemy outside the city and the letter of persuasion was written, which said that Xiangguo was dead, and the Son of Heaven drove the expedition himself. The young general knelt on the ground in panic, picked up the letter of persuasion in his hand and handed it to Li Dao.

"Persuasion book?" At a glance, he opened the persuasion book with a dark face, his eyes first narrowed slightly, and then gradually stared round, his face turned red with anger, "Damn, I didn't expect this little emperor to be so insidious?"

"How many of these letters of surrender have been thrown into the city by the enemy?" asked Li Wei solemnly.

"The letter of surrender shall be with arrows and all that shall enter the city, and there shall be countless numbers. The young general thought for a moment and replied honestly.

"Put away all the arrows and the letter of persuasion, the officers and men in the army are not allowed to speak privately, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!" Li Dao's eyes were cold, and he suddenly shouted.

After saying that, he himself hurriedly walked down the city wall with the letter of persuasion and rode to the palace.

When the guards of the city saw him go away, they really stopped talking about it, and soon, almost everyone in the city knew about the letter of surrender.

Of course, as for what these soldiers thought in their hearts, there is no way to know.

However, there are many people's eyes that do change slightly, and some people are even secretly discussing whether to go out of the city together to surrender to the imperial court.

It didn't take long.

Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou came to the Taishou Mansion.

Looking at Li Dao, who was angry, he felt very surprised.

"General Li, what's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to ask me to wait?" asked Guo Yan curiously.

"Look. Li Dao handed the letter of persuasion to the three of them.

"When there is such a strategy today, this letter of persuasion seems simple, but between the lines it is the words are rooted in our hearts and lungs, if this letter of persuasion spreads all over the three armies, we will collapse without a fight, and the little emperor will take advantage of it!" Guo Yan said solemnly.

"Naturally, I understand the key point, so I consulted with you and others. Now there is only one way to solve this persuasion book, which is to suppress it by force, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone in the army to keep this book privately, and it is forbidden for anyone to privately criticize any topic about this book.

Those who violate the order will be killed!"
