333: If you are not ruthless, you will not be a general
The two dynasties opened the hearts of the old ministers.
But in troubled times, the affairs of the second and third masters of a family are too common.
The most famous are the Zhuge brothers during the Three Kingdoms.
Time has passed, and in these five generations of troubled times, political speculation is still rampant.
It's really not good, and you only need a piece of paper to open the clan to solve the problem, this piece of paper that is too hard to wipe your buttocks, no matter who sits in the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, you have to pinch your nose and admit it.
For example, Feng Yanji of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not lose his phase because his younger brother Feng Yanlu lowered the Middle Zhou Dynasty, no matter how bad Guo Rong's temper was, he greeted Feng Yanlu with a smile, and occasionally drank wine together and talked about his heart.
Linzhou Yang family, the Han Dynasty and the twilight of the Zhou, Guo Rong is also very welcome, the brother is the official of the Central Zhou Dynasty, and Yang Ye, who is the elder brother, still receives his Yulu in Taiyuan, although the Jinyang Yulu is low and pitiful, but the person is deeply trusted by the Han Emperor Liu Chengjun.
The Fuzhou family is a little more obscure, but the essence is the same as that of the Yang family, even if it is upgraded to a festival envoy, it is also the existence of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and Zhou Han listens to the decree at both ends.
Therefore, Qin Yue was very generous and did not embarrass Zhao Wenliang in front of the city, but let him recuperate in the deep town with peace of mind, and play small cards with nothing to do, after all, the "illness" is not yet well, and it is too early to talk about anything.
People from a family, no matter how arrogant they are, their vision pattern is still incomparable to that of ordinary grass people. For example, Zhao Wenliang, surrender is resolutely not possible, soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, but they can be at ease when they treat diseases and play cards.
Dalang "cured" in the rear camp of the Zhou army, but Zhao Chongtao put into more active preparations, the increase in the number of timbers, the preparation of more stones, the city is not enough to move outside the city, anyway, the Zhou army can only surround the northeast and west, and the south gate can not be encircled, and the stones can be transported into the city smoothly from the south riverbank.
Wang Zhaoyuan also fully trusted, and there was no doubt about it.
The Zhao family is full of more than 300 people, and as long as Zhao Chongtao is a little sensible, he will not turn back.
Wang Zhaoyuan now in addition to praying that the imperial court reinforcements will arrive sooner, wine, sex, and quitting, even the bed is replaced with a hardwood board, not how inspirational he is, but he is afraid that as soon as he relaxes, he will really paralyze, and he will lose consecutive battles, and the tough guy who fights hard will not be able to hold on.
His psychological bearing has reached a critical point, but he still has to comfort the wounded, inspect the city, comfort the people, and when he goes to bed every day, his legs are like lead.
The inside of the city is busy with the defense of the city, and the outside of the city is busy preparing for war.
How to command, it is Cao Binmuyun Panmei's business, Qin Yue doesn't join in this excitement, he has his own things to do, and he is giving Tang Dong and others a face-to-face lesson:
"People's hearts are very mysterious, they can't stand doubt, as long as there is a hair-like doubt, under the influence of the outside world, it will become bigger and bigger, so the story of 'Three City Tigers' tells us that rumors have a great effect, go ahead, in order to minimize the casualties of our army, you will have to work hard."
"Guaranteed to get the job done."
"Remember, it's not for you to cause much trouble, just pass on what needs to be said, and when the time comes, some things will naturally ferment."
"No."
Tang Dong and several scouts took the military order in high spirits, turned around and went out of the tent, and Qin Yue paced in front of the sand table to watch them plan.
Cao Bin saw Qin Yue coming, rubbed his eyes, and ordered: "You make arrangements, those captives will start to eat more tonight, and tomorrow they will start to intercept the river and fill the river." ”
"Alas, inhumane."
"It's kind enough not to let them block the rain of arrows, but it's you, don't do some private things, why are you so kind-hearted, Baba sent a letter for Zhao Wenliang, and he looked like he wanted nothing else, so the foreshadowing was here."
"All is based on kindness."
Qin Yue's words received collective contempt, including Mu Yun.
……
People who have been hungry for a long time will feel even more hungry the next day after a full meal.
So the thick fragrance wafting from the pancake stove that was lined up in a long line almost locked the eyes of all the captives.
"Everyone, listen up, pick one load, there will be a cake, pick two loads, there will be two cakes, don't think about escaping, the taste of the crossbow and arrow rain on the plate knife noodles is not delicious...... When the river is filled, you will be liberated, and you can return to your hometown......"
A dozen or so guys with long cylindrical gadgets stood on the upside-down basket and finished their loud reprimands, and the captives began to work, there is no fairness in this world, and those who look good to the eye have eaten early, and those people are responsible for digging the mud, which is safe and easy. And many more captives had to be poured into the moat on empty stomachs, carrying dirt, in exchange for a multigrain cake and a spoonful of pickles.
Behind him, there is a soldier holding a knife and a bow, and the crossbow arrows on the city are also shining with cold light, which can be shot down at any time, and it is a dead end to advance and retreat.
The captives were full of lamentation, but they had to pick up the dustpans, lift the baskets, and pray that the townsmen would recite the strings for the sake of the robes.
If you are not ruthless, you can't fight.
This kind of hard offensive battle, no one wants to encounter, and when encountered, you can only do your best for the sake of your own troops, so there are not too many cases of driving the people to the old and weak to climb first, and when your defenders throw stones and throw soft, the archery is out of strength, and the elite will land the city in one fell swoop. If the defenders of the city are ruthless, in the face of the unarmed people, they will not waste a single arrow, and will directly pour a spoonful of cooked gold juice on the head.
Qin Yue was a little resistant to this arrangement, so he didn't go out today, and was ridiculed by Cao Bin.
Zhao Chongtao on the city couldn't get up either, and he couldn't give the order to open the crossbow in the face of the captives who were carrying the crows and crows to fill the river.
He is different from Qin Yue, he is not ruthless enough, but he can't be ruthless.
I don't know which dead bastard chewed his tongue indiscriminately, saying that he could not defend it, it was all the suffering of being a soldier, the suffering of the people, even if the official was defeated in the war, there were still officials to do, the defeat outside the city of Xixian was miserable, and there were many dead people, General Zhao's big man didn't let go of a fart and fell to Zhou, I heard that he was a military leader immediately, and he may have to be a marquis......
Hehe, Lao Tzu was a marshal in Shu, and his son was a general in the Middle Zhou Dynasty, and whoever lost his family would win.
Why do you want to work for his family?
This rumor spread quietly like a plague among the defenders, at least 3,000 of the 5,000 defenders had heard of it, and the rumors were always more and more outrageous......
Zhao Chongtao could already feel the strangeness of his gaze behind him, how could he do it to those shirtless former comrades in the city?
Gossip is the most difficult to deal with, and it also takes a process to implement all-round control of both soft and hard, but at the moment, I can only watch the Zhou army cut off the stream, fill in the soil, and increase the height inch by inch.
Alas, if he is not a soldier, it is difficult to command, speaking of which he is the envoy of the Lizhou Festival, this acre of three-point land is under his control even if it is not wartime, but the problem is that he has been in office for less than two months, and the situation is not yet familiar.
Now he only hopes that Wang Zhaoyuan can come forward.
Wang Zhaoyuan came, he was much darker and thinner, although he was haggard, his eyes were more energetic, and his face also had a look of fortitude.
"Shoot."
At the sound of an order, a hundred crossbows were fired.
A puff of blood flowers was strung out, and the screams finally rang out one after another.
……
The vanguard army is in action, and Wang Yanchao, who successfully took Xingyuan Mansion, did not sit still, and after everything was straightened out, his long sword was directed to Yuanzhou City in the east of Xingyuan Mansion, where the Wuding Army was stationed, and Li Mao, the judge of Jiedu who sat in charge of the Jieshuai, tore up the letter of persuasion with arrogant words, and swore to rest with the city.
At this moment, Wang Yanchao was in the arms, and he personally went out to fight at the moment, and Han Zhen led a thousand elites with two swords as the pioneer.
Li Mao was strong and cleared, but when the vanguard of the Zhou army was not stable, in the middle of the night, he sent the elite out of the south gate, carried the troops in boats, and quietly went around the back of the Zhou camp on the Han River, and attacked it suddenly, the Zhou army urged not to be vigilant, and was defeated, if it were not for Han Zhenwuyong, he fought to the death without armor, gathered the troops and fought and retreated, I don't know how many people would die in this battle.
It's a pity that most of the people escaped, but the camp armor was burned by the Shu army, and what is even more heartbreaking is that more than 300 war horses were taken away.
Wang Yan was extremely angry, personally walked the cane, and finally ordered Han Zhen to make meritorious service to the crime and seize the city first.
The city of Yuanzhou was plunged into a dire war.
