Chapter 24 Attacking the Heart
In Jiang Wen's tent, the whole house was burned warm, and the clay pot soup in the house was boiling, and the fragrance was overflowing.
"Childe's official is getting bigger, and what we eat is getting better and better, and we can still eat five-flavor preserved food in winter, and we can only eat bread in the winter, and drink some cold water when we are thirsty." Tao Er put the sliced radish and the five-flavor preserved in front of Jiang Wen, "Why did Gongzi sing that ballad in Fancheng?" ”
"The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom; Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. Jiang Wen handed the bowl to Tao'er.
Tao Er added a bowl of rice to Jiang Wen, put it in front of Jiang Wen and said: "Childe, a few days ago I heard some generals say that you don't know how to fight at all, and you can directly take Xiangyang, but you spent a month with Liu Biao in vain, and now although you take Xiangyang, Fancheng still has 100,000 soldiers and horses, saying that you are busy in vain." ”
Jiang Wen nodded, twisted a piece of tofu and put it into Tao'er's bowl, "This tofu tastes good, you can have a piece too." In the future, you should inquire less about these things, and even if you hear them, you must treat them as if you have not heard them, and remember not to discuss them with others. ”
Tao Er was slightly stunned, took a small bite, and bowed her head silently.
A soldier rushed in, "Tell the military advisor to sacrifice wine, the time has come!" ”
Jiang Wen nodded, scalded the bowl with water, and drank all the remaining rice, "You go down first, and then go and inform the three thousand soldiers yesterday, take their respective erhus, and then set off with me." ”
Tao Er got up to help Jiang Wen get dressed, "Is Childe going so late?" ”
Jiang Wen nodded, "This is the time when I want to sleep and don't fall asleep." Soldiers with low morale, once they have free time, who will miss home?! ”
As soon as Jiang Wen came out of the camp, his skin shrank suddenly, "It's so cold!" He shrugged his body.
After getting on the war horse, he and 3,000 cavalry gathered outside the wooden wall, "The whole army comes with me!" ”
Sun Ce saluted Sun Jian, "Father, Jiang Saijiu has left the camp again. ”
Sun Jian nodded, "Although I agreed to his behavior, every time he went out, he was a little worried." ”
Sun Ce smiled lightly and said, "Father is worried about his safety? ”
"Hahaha!" Sun Jian shook his head and smiled, "It's a pity that Shangxiang is still too young, and he has to wait a few years, where did Quan'er go?" ”
Sun Ce said: "Younger brother, he went to Uncle Youtai's tent to see the art of war. ”
"Don't tell your brother to see those, when you are an elder brother, you are already a general, what if you are a younger brother in the future?" Sun Jian frowned, "How many days is there enough food and grass?" ”
Sun Ce said: "There is not much left of the 50,000 stone grain and grass sent by Yuan Shu, but our army can still support it for another five days!" ”
"So that's enough food and grass...... You immediately go to patrol the camp and inform all the soldiers that these days are all tight, and now Huang Zu is already a trapped beast fight, and he is ready to break through at any time! ”
"Erchen takes orders!"
"Shoot me the arrows!" The bowstring trembled, and pieces of arrows rained down towards Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen turned his head and ran away on horseback, and the arrow rain fell directly.
Huang Zu was extremely annoyed, returned to the camp tent and threw his weapon aside, "This Sun Jian child is really too deceitful, and he has come to shake the hearts of our army again and again, it is really shameless!" ”
Kuailiang said in the old god: "The art of war is to attack the city and attack the heart, wasn't Xiang Yu also besieged by Han Xin in the past?" This Sun Jian wants to emulate Han Xin. ”
"Then what do you say we should do, just wait for death!"
Kuai Yue said: "Now that the lord has been captured, there is no hope of recapturing Xiangyang, our army can only break through now, and can attack Shouchun, re-reserve strength after occupying Shouchun, and attack Xiangyang again in the next year!" ”
Huang Zu had a gloomy face, looking at Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue in front of him, as well as Cai Mao not far away, "Then after occupying Shouchun, who should we serve as the master, you and my family have been captured by Sun Jian, how can we abandon it, our army will turn around and recapture Xiangyang!" ”
"How can a person who seeks great things have a long relationship with his children?!" Kuai Yue said angrily, "Now that the morale of the army is low, you can't hit a stone with an egg when you storm Xiangyang, you are acting like a child's play with the lives of 100,000 troops!" ”
"Our army has 100,000 troops, and Xiangyang is now only 40,000 soldiers and horses, who is hitting the stone with an egg!" Huang Zu roared, and then said with a sneer: "Kuai Yue, you have to be clear, I am the commander of the three armies, and it is not your turn to point fingers here!" ”
Kuai Yue still had to argue, and Kuai Liang on the side said: "Brother sit down, now that our army is in such a dangerous situation, I also know that you are impetuous, this is the end of today's discussion, now we will go back to rest and discuss it tomorrow." ”
Cai Mao's tent.
"Brother, you also know that attacking Xiangyang now is nothing more than seeking a dead end, not to mention that the back road is surrounded by Sun Jian, our army has absolutely no morale to attack the city, if you attack Xiangyang, Sun Jian and the defenders of the city will respond, our army will definitely be defeated, but brother, why don't you speak with me!"
Hearing his younger brother's excited remarks, Kuai Liang on the side was silent, and glanced at Cai Mao on the side, "De Jue has an idea in his heart?" ”
"Drop!" Cai Mao said, "Xenodu, what is the use of our army even if it reaches Shouchun?" Don't forget that now our families, the families of the soldiers of the three armies, are all in Xiangyang and Jiangxia, these two cities have been taken by Sun Jian, and the three armies have no intention of fighting. ”
Cai Mao's eyes showed murderous intentions, "In the end, the only person who wants to fight to the death with Sun Jian is Huang Zu, we can offer Huang Zu's head and ask Sun Jian for credit!" ”
"This ...... Brother! ”
"Alien, now this situation can no longer be reversed, if Yuan Shu helps and can fight, it is enough 150,000 stone grain, 50,000 baht money, half of Jingzhou, Sun Jian promised Yuan Shu what a heavy profit, he can actually make Yuan Shu look forward to it, and never send a single soldier......" Kuai Liang thought for a long time and never figured it out.
"A Sun Jian, now trapped in my 100,000 army can't advance or retreat," Kuai Yue sat on the seat weakly, "Hahaha......"
Cai Mao said: "Zirou, Xenodu, don't be emotional, whether it's war or surrender, you two hurry up and get an idea." ”
"Come down."
"See General Cai, General Huang has already fallen asleep, if you want to see you, please come back tomorrow!"
"General Ben has an important military situation, if you want to stop it again, I will kill you!"
Sun Jian's camp, Sun Jian sat on the Shuai platform, Jiang Wen and Sun Ce sat on the ground beside him.
"Report to the general, the envoy of Liu Biao outside the door asks to see you!"
"Why did this messenger from Liu Biao come?"
The soldiers in the camp looked at each other, and they really couldn't figure it out. Sun Jian looked at Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen nodded, and Sun Jian said, "Please let him in." ”
"The envoy Kuai Liang, I have seen the general!"
Kuailiang?! Jiang Wen's body moved slightly, Sun Jian would die at the hands of Huang Zu, precisely because this old boy made suggestions.
Sun Jian asked quietly: "The envoy asks to see General Ben, what is the so-called matter?" ”
"The minister brought a message for the general, General Cai Mao said that he was willing to surrender to the general, and ordered the minister to bring Huang Zu's head to the general!"
