"It's been a very leisurely day, and it's not like a hard-fought warrior behind enemy lines."

It's a new day, and it's a new defense patrol, Yang Ang yawned and looked at the south gate of Nanzheng City, as well as the dock outside the city gate, and began to doubt life a little.

Really, although based on his enterprise-level understanding of Zhang Lu's care when he left, it seems that he should hold Nanzheng for at least two months before he can live up to his promise.

But in fact, Yang Ang is absolutely self-aware of his discipline value, and Zhang Lu is so unrighteous and unreliable, if Liu Bei really attacks the city bloodily, he will surrender in a month.

Of course, even if he surrendered to Liu Bei, he would not really work for Liu Bei. Because he already knew that his own brother Yang Ren died under Zhao Yun's gun, how could he work for the person who killed his brother.

Just ask for a good treatment, make a fortune when you dedicate the city, and then run away to live in seclusion as a rich man elsewhere.

Unfortunately, none of these assumptions happened.

Liu Bei actually didn't send a single arrow for more than 20 days, only besieged it, and didn't attack the city at all, which made Yang Ang's heart furious. I don't know if the enemy is holding back the bad water of some big move, or if he really plans to completely starve to death in Nanzheng Quancheng without negotiation or persuasion.

People don't push, how can you just push and push half-way?

Fortunately, the hearts of the people in the city are always available, after all, Nanzheng is Zhang Lu's original base, and the believers in this city are the most and the earliest, and they get the most benefits from pyramid schemes, so even if the city is besieged for a period of time, the army and the people are still willing to follow Yang Ang to resist.

Just when Yang Ang's mentality was tired, a subordinate colonel suddenly exclaimed a bad news:

"The general is not good! Hurry up to the West Gate, outside the West Gate, there are Han soldiers sending people to shout and surrender, and they specially tied up some prisoners to come to the city to behead the order. ”

Yang Ang was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, what kind of brain circuit it was: "Beheading order?" Kill our prisoners of war? Then what is there to be afraid of, if the Han army is so brutal, it will only arouse our army to become more and more resentful. ”

The little school has a low level of education, and he can't explain it clearly, so he has to hurriedly say: "General, you will know it when you go to see it yourself!" ”

Yang Ang then rode his horse along the city wall.

After half a burnt incense, Yang Ang arrived at the West City Gate, and then saw a strange scene with his own eyes.

A few liars who looked like rice thieves sacrificing wine were tied around the neck by the five flowers, and were smashed by the people of Nanzheng outside the city with rotten vegetable leaves and other filthy things.

There were still several pools of blood and some headless corpses on the ground, and it seemed that Yang Ang had already cut down several groups of people before he arrived.

After the people were almost crying, a few small officials in the Han army preached their crimes in public, and then popularized how Zhang Lu taught these sacrificial wine to attract people into the gang, and used the five buckets of rice paid by the new recruits to support the family.

These Han army officials all raised their voices, and they also brought a few trumpet-like tubes to ensure that the defenders at the head of the city could also hear clearly.

Many of the defenders at the head of the city are also believers in rice thieves, and after being popularized, the army's heart was shaken for a while.

Yang Ang's scalp was numb, and he suddenly felt that something bad was going to happen. But he didn't know how to resist, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to shoot those people away with arrows - because there were only a few Han army officials within range, and they were still mixed with the people outside the city, and the Han army's combat troops were not within the range of bows and arrows at all.

Such a strategy to attack the heart, if Yang Ang ordered to shoot the people, then many of the people were originally natives of Nanzheng before the war, but in order to reduce the rate of food consumption in the city when Zhang Lu was caged, he did not let them all enter the city. They may still have relatives and friends in the city, and if they kill innocents, the hearts of the people in the city will also be in turmoil.

Originally, Yang Ang was not afraid that Liu Bei would take the people hostage, because if Liu Bei dared to kill the people of Nanzheng outside the city and force the people in the city, it would only make the people in the city more and more bitter against the enemy, and Liu Bei himself would also lose his reputation.

But this kind of people outside the city to repent, change their past mistakes, and attack the sacrificial wine liars from the bottom of their hearts has a completely different effect.

After clarifying the ins and outs of the "Zhang's scam" with an easy-to-understand explanation as much as possible, the Han army officials finally cut down the last few sacrificial wines. (In the history of this life, the "Ponzi scheme" will be renamed the "Zhang scheme", because it was invented by Zhang Lu)

At the moment when the sacrificial wines were killed, the people of Nanzheng who were deceived of grain outside the city cheered again, and Yang Ang was very uncomfortable with that scene.

But soon there will be more disgusting ones.

Several wealthy local families who were deceived the most and lost the most their wealth after believing in the city actually stated how much money they had been deceived by rice thieves and how they were deceived in the city, and they also called friends and shouted at the city, telling those friends in the city not to fall deeper and deeper.

There are still many local rich people in Nanzheng City, and some of the soldiers in the city can't help but exclaim: Isn't this Zhao Yuanwai from Zhaozhuang in the south of the city? His family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, when he first believed in the Tao, he was the head of Liu Da sacrificial wine, but he promised him a lot of benefits, and later I heard that he was deceived and took it, but it turned out to be ......

When Yang Ang was still at a loss, a few bows and crossbows suddenly broke the silence of the scene.

"Stretch~whoosh~" Several feather arrows shot down from the city tower, and then the Zhao Yuanwai screamed and was shot by the archers defending the city.

Yang Ang felt his brain jump for a while: "Who! Who gave the order to release the arrows! I didn't give an order to anyone who would dare to release an arrow! ”

"It was Wu Sai Liquor that let us put it." The scolded archers hurriedly clarified.

Yang Ang summoned the sacrificial wine surnamed Wu and asked sharply: "Wu Han! Why did you shoot the people of the rich households of Nanzheng! Aren't you afraid that the people in the city will be cold! Don't think that you are the head of the great sacrificial wine, I dare not restrain you with military law! When Shijun evacuated, he entrusted me with all the defense of the city! ”

Wu Leng said coldly: "If you don't kill the people who deceive the people with such evil words, I'm afraid that there will be more thieves who slander Shijun tomorrow, and I'm afraid that the hearts of the soldiers in the city will be even more unstable at that time!" ”

However, just when the military and the deceitful chief were talking to each other, the Han army under the city was angry.

"Thieves dare! Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows with all your might! "The Han general who is responsible for scolding the battle today is Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai saw that the city head actually dared to kill the innocent and deceived people, and immediately fired thousands of arrows, and thousands of crossbowmen all lined up and threw wildly.

Although the city has a range disadvantage in shooting the city, and the crossbowmen under the city only have a large rattan card inserted in the ground, the defensive effect is not as good as the female wall battlement.

However, there were many crossbowmen who could not stand the concentration of the Han army, and there was no battle before the siege of the city for nearly a month, which caused the defenders of the city to be very lax, and they were attacked on a large scale for a while, which led to dozens of archers being shot and killed, and there were more than 100 wounds, and they were suddenly stunned.

The two sides shot at each other for a while before they gradually pulled apart.

After a while, there was a Han army general under the city, who asked his soldiers to hold an absolutely strict shield and shield array, and came over and shouted: "Yang Ang! You connived at the soldiers to kill the deceived people! Zhang Luzhi's hypocrisy, it can be seen from this!

General Zhenxi of my family has always been unwilling to make more killings, so he did not attack Nanzheng, you should know that as long as our army attacks with all its strength, with your thousands of people, Nanzheng will not last long! If the city is broken, it will be a trend for chickens and dogs to stay. If you want to come to this city, there are mostly believers in rice thieves, and thieves can't be counted as people, and it is okay to kill their clan and plunder their wealth!

Thinking that you are just a general, and did not assist Zhang Lu in inciting people's hearts to deceive the people, as long as you hand over the head of the rebel who ordered the arrow just now, we will allow you not to kill your whole family on the day the city is broken! Otherwise, you can do it yourself! ”

Yang Ang broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly calculated in his heart.

Listening to the Han army's surrender policy, it seems that pure military personnel such as generals who have been deceived and deceived can be pardoned. What will be liquidated are only sorcerers and sacrificial wine who carry out fraud and demagoguery......

It seems that the imperial court's policy on the recruitment and surrender of the Yellow Turban's combat troops in the early years was similar.

"Yang Ang! You...... What do you want? Do you dare to betray Shijun? You...... You won't be so spineless, Liu Bei hasn't attacked the city yet, you will be afraid if he releases a burst of arrows, won't you be laughed at by the world! ”

Seeing that Yang Ang's expression was wrong, the head priest was already afraid that Yang Ang would be bewitched by the Han army and wanted to surrender, so he secretly pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, ready to defend himself at any time. But he actually knew that how could his force value be better than a combat-oriented general like Yang Ang.

Yang Ang was awakened by his words, and when he looked at the other party again, his expression already had murderous intent: "Wu Han! You don't want to spray people with blood! You gave military orders in vain, and the officers and soldiers of our army were caught off guard and shot so much by the counterattack of the Han army. If you want to release the arrow, I won't give the order to release?

If I let go of the arrows, wouldn't I let the other soldiers find cover to dodge first, in case they provoke the Han army? You don't understand any military affairs, and you dare to give military orders on your behalf, and I will behead you today for the sake of military justice! ”

Yang Ang said it very beautifully, it seemed that he wanted to kill Wu Han not because he was cowardly, not to give in to Liu Bei, but to strictly enforce military law!

Civilian personnel who do not have military command authority exceed their authority and blindly command, according to military law, they are originally beheaded!

The soldiers next to him looked at each other for a while, in Zhang Lu's army, the authority of the head priests is still very high, how dare ordinary soldiers enforce their military law.

But it doesn't matter, Yang Ang used these words to squeeze out other soldiers and soldiers who didn't help each other. With Yang Ang's martial arts, it was still very easy for him to kill a sacrificial wine by himself.

"Hmm...... Yang Ang, you-" Wu Han watched as the blade suddenly stabbed into his abdomen, and came out fiercely, his face full of disbelief.

Yang Ang pulled out the blade of his sword, then cut off Wu Han's head, threw it under the city, and shouted a few words such as "Wu Han took the military order and released arrows without permission, and he has been beheaded to show the Ming Zheng military law" and other scenes, showing that he was not afraid of Liu Bei.

However, the Han generals under the city were still very satisfied with the outcome of this negotiation.

Yang Ang made it clear that he wanted to wait and see the hearts of the people in the city and borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

Then give him a fig leaf for a few more days.

"Tomorrow, we will continue to behead those deceitful clergy in public under the city, and then let the deceived people complain about their grievances!"

This order was faithfully carried out. For the next few days, every day, but since Yang Ang's sword, no wizard or sacrificial wine in the city dared to order arrows to shoot the people who complained of grievances.

Four or five days later, almost every household of the people in Nanzheng City had a legend about "how Zhang Lu, the master, deceived the people's favor in the first place, and the grain rolled to support his deception", even people who did not understand mathematics began to rise to the same level.

Yang Ang saw it in his eyes, knowing that Zhang Lu's people's hearts had been completely dismantled, and finally with a loyal face, he secretly negotiated the conditions with Liu Bei's people, and opened the city without blood.

Yang Ang took the burden of Jing and asked the soldiers to carry a row of heads and surrender to Liu Bei:

"Sin will meet General Zhenxi! They all blamed Jiangkong for having a brute force martial arts, ignorant of righteousness and arithmetic, and was blinded by Zhang Lu's deception for a while. Now he has repented - all the rice thieves in the city are here, please ask General Zhenxi to accept it. ”

"Who is at fault? Hurry up, please. ”
