Sometimes, people like Cai Yan are the most difficult to use, and they have obviously made a lot of contributions, but the most monarch is not good and does not dare to appoint him again. But for Jin Jue, it is not difficult at all.

Jin Jue gave him three choices, and next, it depends on how Cai Yan chooses himself.

On the surface, Jin Jue only said two options, but in fact, there was a third option implied in the words, that is, let Cai Yan make Jin Jue decide to let some soldiers who were willing to return to Nanyang return to their homeland.

According to Jin Jue's own guess, Cai Yan is reluctant to go back, at least not for now, but once he tells Jin Jue's words to follow him out of the city and surrender to Jin Jue's army of the 5,000 Nanyang soldiers, at least one-fifth of them, that is, 1,000 soldiers, will choose to return home.

If Cai Yan doesn't do this, it means that this person is a person with a strong desire for power, Jin Jue did not forcibly dismantle the soldiers under him, which is itself a temptation for him, this kind of person is of great use, in the future, after Jin Jue takes the entire Yizhou, even if it is for reward, he will only be put in two of the four counties in Nanzhong except Yizhou County and Yongchang County as Taishou.

Of course, if Cai Yan chose the other two conditions offered by Jin Jue, he would also think of the corresponding way to deal with it.

After the Nanyang Dongzhou soldiers took the initiative to go out of the city and surrender to Jin Jue's army, the impact was much greater than Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren, or Jin Jue himself imagined.

After that, no matter how Zhang Ren urged, when the Shu soldiers in Chengdu City were forced out of the city again, the soldiers with families in the city would choose to be passive and slack off, and thousands of soldiers could not dismantle the bunkers and medium-sized fortresses within ten zhang, and those soldiers who were helpless and alone all chose to escape at night and took the initiative to throw themselves into the Jin Jue army.

This was the case for three consecutive days, and after knowing this situation, Zhang Ren could not stop sending troops to continue to go out of the city at night to destroy the actions of Jin Jue's army to build fortifications, so when he sent troops out of the city again, Zhang Ren had to send his cronies to conduct a screening among the soldiers, and all the generals and soldiers who had no relatives in Chengdu were screened out.

On the other hand, the work of building bunkers and medium-sized fortresses here in Jin Juejun is getting faster and faster.

I don't know if I have the blessing of the halo on my body, Jin Jue's own side, that is, the east of Chengdu City, has been completed for the first time in the daytime the day after Zhang Rengang was about to make adjustments, using a bunker and a medium-sized fortress, plus a six-foot-deep trench, completely isolating the east of Chengdu City from the outside world.

After Zhang Ren learned of this situation, he personally climbed the eastern city wall and took a closer look, and his entire black face turned green.

"Alas......!" At this time, Zhang Song beside him sighed and said leisurely: "Zhang Bingcao, you asked me before, why the enemy army didn't counterattack when our army destroyed the long siege, it's not that I don't want to answer you, but I really haven't figured out the reason. When the news of the surrender of the Dongzhou soldiers from Nanyang came, I immediately understood six points, and now, when I saw the faces of you and the surrounding soldiers, I understood everything.

That little boy is really human!

Three tricks in one move!

First of all, the use of the long siege to wear down everyone in the city, the first to bear the brunt is naturally the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers defending the city.

Second, divide the soldiers in the city.

You know the composition of the soldiers in Chengdu better than I do.

That little boy obviously knew very well that you and Liu Yuanjun were afraid that the battle of the new capital would happen again. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, let alone the Dongzhou soldiers from Sanfu or Liangzhou, even if it is a Dongzhou soldier from Nanyang, you will not easily send them out to the city to carry out the task of destroying the long siege.

However, if this continues, those Dongzhou soldiers who have been arrogant by Liu Yuanjun don't have to go out of the city, but you will only use the Shu soldiers in the city to the death. After a long period of time, the already existing contradictions between the two armies will inevitably be further intensified. At this time, in order to calm the grievances among the Shu soldiers and temporarily resolve the contradictions between the two armies, you can only send Nanyang Dongzhou soldiers out of the city.

Then, that prince must have prepared a secret hand, and as he waited for this situation to appear, when the time came, as long as he succeeded in persuading some of the Nanyang soldiers to surrender to him, the matter would be done.

I heard that there are two generals under that son, but they are both from Nanyang.

Of course, that prince may not have the full confidence to persuade an entire army to surrender to him on his own initiative, but you and I probably never expected that Cai Yan's heart would be so big and his ability to control the soldiers under his command would be so strong. He was able to command an army of 5,000 men to surrender to the enemy voluntarily with him.

Finally, and most importantly.

Zhang Bingcao, you can understand now when you look around and see the enemy army surrounding Dongcheng with you. Alas......! ”

After Zhang Song finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "This son is really born!" ”

Zhang Ren subconsciously glanced at the soldiers around him, especially the soldiers around him, all of them had no earthy faces, and a few of them had a look of despair in their eyes.

"Drink!" At this time, Zhang Ren suddenly came to his senses, he suddenly shouted at the surrounding guards and Shu soldiers, and said loudly: "What are you worried about, the east city is encircled, and Chengdu City may not be surrounded by three other city walls?" Besides, the enemy army is so vigorous, but where does their rations come from? ”

Zhang Ren's words made the faces of the surrounding soldiers slightly better.

Indeed, Jin Jue's army has only blocked one city wall at present, and outside the other three walls, the progress of Jin Jue's army in building bunkers and central fortresses is much slower, especially in Xicheng, where the main general Wei Ming is not doing things effectively.

The more Wu Ming wanted to speed up the progress of the siege, and now the people in Jin Jue's army who built the long siege were all composed of recruits who were unwilling to become soldiers, so in front of Cheng Lian and Lu Bu, they did not dare to stab, but in front of Wei Ming, there were people who dared to disobey the discipline.

Wu Ming's own martial arts were not enough to convince the public, and under the influence of these two factors, the progress of the siege here in Xicheng became the slowest.

After that, Zhang Ren grasped this point, and even stopped caring about the encirclement of the southern city and the northern city, and concentrated on destroying the encirclement of the western city.

Faced with this situation, many people in Jin Jue's army suggested that Jin Jue take advantage of the siege of Dongcheng to replace Wu Ming.

But Jin Jue didn't agree, on the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to train more generals in Xicheng.
