Fusu sneaked back into the army, rested for a while, and convened a meeting with the generals of the Qin army in the early morning.

When the generals saw Fusu return safely, they put down a big stone in their hearts and couldn't help but congratulate each other. Fusu slightly coped with two sentences, that is, he said: "I see that in the ruined city, there are countless homeless beggars, trapped in hunger and cold every day, and dozens of people die of hunger and cold every day. In addition, the city's medicine was extinct early, and the wounded soldiers of the Wei army had no medicine to treat, and countless people died every day due to serious injuries and ulcers. I can't bear it in my heart, so I want to withdraw the siege for a day, and let the people and wounded soldiers in the abandoned city leave the city voluntarily, what do the generals think? ”

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other and were shocked for a while. Before Wang Ben and Li Xin could reply, a Zuo Geng immediately said: "Your Excellency, you must not." Since the conquest of our Qin State, I have not heard of the fierce battle between the two armies, and there is a matter of opening up the net and indulging the military and civilians of the enemy country, please think twice! ”

A lieutenant said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Not to mention whether the king would blame the king if he knew, and it would be just a matter of indulging the people of the ruined city, and the Wei army of the ruined city had killed countless soldiers of our Qin army, how could he indulge his wounded soldiers!? ”

Fusu frowned, kowtowed the case in front of him, turned his head and asked Wang Ben and Li Xindao: "General Wang, General Li, what do you think?" ”

Wang Ben thought for a while, and said with a fierce anger in his eyes: "Childe, there is no mercy in marching and fighting. Our army has always attacked a city without prosecuting those who surrender, and those who resist will kill their people after the city is broken, and there has never been a saying that the army and people of the enemy country are indulged in wartime. Now our army is short of more than 10,000 soldiers under the abandoned city, for the rare casualties in recent years, if you indulge its homeless people, wounded soldiers, I am afraid that the army's heart will be difficult to peace! ”

Fusu remained silent, and looked at Li Xin again, Li Xin hesitated for a moment and said: "Although what General Wang and the others said is reasonable, it may not be necessary that the king may imply a better idea. It's better to talk about it in detail to clear up the doubts of the generals! ”

Fu Gong nodded in his heart: Wang Ben is too rigid and murderous, and Li Xin is more stable than him, probably because he learned a lesson when he was discussing politics the day before yesterday.

Fusu knocked on the case, organized his words, and said: "Everyone in the world says that our Qin army is brutal, and the fear of our army is far greater than respect, which is very bad. As the ancients said, 'the king is invincible' and 'the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world', and it is difficult to conquer the hearts of the people of a country by force. In the past, Shang Tang conquered Xia Wei and Zhou Wu conquered Shang Xuan, and the people all came to labor with pot pulp food, not to mention that Xia Wei and Shang Wei's army fell in despair, and there were countless people who defected to the battle. As for our army, since the war, have you ever seen such a grand occasion for the army and people of the enemy country? "The generals heard it silently: When the soldiers and civilians of all countries saw the Qin army coming, they either looked at the wind and fled, or resisted desperately, so why should the soldiers and civilians be happy and surrender happily!?

Fusu continued: "It can be seen that it is not the best way to attack the enemy country by force alone, and sometimes it is better to pay equal attention to grace and power. And although the six countries of Kwantung have been fighting with our Qin State for hundreds of years, after all, they are all the descendants of Yan and Huang and the people of China. I decided to indulge the people and wounded soldiers of the ruined city for two reasons:

First, this move can show that our army is a benevolent and righteous army, and change the old view of our army's brutality in the past, so that our army can reduce a lot of unnecessary resistance when attacking various countries in the future.

Second, in the current ruined city, although there is a shortage of food and medicine, but the people's will is stable, and the army's spirit is dead, if our army indulges the people and wounded soldiers, it can not only swear the benevolence of our army, but also play a role in dissipating the resistance of the army and the people in the abandoned city, which is conducive to our army breaking the city.

This method can be called 'psychological warfare', similar to the effect of 'surrendering without a fight' in the Art of War. Do you have any comments? ”

In fact, Fusu has another reason not to say: this move can also win the hearts of beauties! This plan of counting birds with one stone is enough to help Su surpass people's wisdom!

The generals looked at each other when they heard this, for the Qin army who were more straightforward, this theory was still relatively new, but it did make some sense when you thought about it. Wang Ben hesitated for a moment and said, "What the king said is indeed quite reasonable, but will Wei Jun accept it?" ”

Fusu smiled: "They will, I'm ten percent sure!" With Zhao Tie's benevolent heart, he would never let the innocent people live and die with the poor wounded soldiers and the ruined city.

Wang Ben then nodded and said, "Okay, then listen to the king!" ”

******

Outside the ruined city, the smoke of the early morning cooking has not yet dissipated, but the wind of winter is getting colder. On the watchtower by the ditch, a Wei soldier was looking into the distance energetically, loyally defending his homeland.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped from the direction of the Qin army's military camp in the north of the city, and immediately sat on a Qin army armor soldier, heading straight for the Wei army's first trench defense line. The sound of horses' hooves was very clear in the early morning, and it was immediately discovered by the watchtower of the Wei army.

"There is a Qin army, it may be a rebuke, and the crossbowmen are ready!" The Wei army on the watchtower quickly sent out a signal, and the Wei soldiers in the trench jumped up when they heard the order, and the black-armored and red-clothed soldiers quickly opened their bows and arrows, pointing the edge of the attack to the north.

Suddenly, the rushing Qin army armor soldier waved a small white flag two hundred steps away from the Wei army, and shouted: "Don't release arrows, my country's Wu Anjun has a letter to send to your country's General Wu!" ”

The Wei soldiers were stunned, a second lieutenant waved his hand, and the Wei soldiers loosened the bowstring, but the arrow was still on the string, maintaining sufficient vigilance. After a while, the Qin army armor ran to the front of the trench, turned over and dismounted, took out a brocade box and put it on the ground more than ten steps away in front of the trench, and then got on the horse again and galloped back.

A Wei soldier crawled out of the trench and rushed forward to retrieve the brocade box, and then returned to the trench. After a while, a fast horse galloped back to the ruined city.

In the military festival hall of the general's mansion in the ruined city, several people are seated, and in the middle is the general Wu Haoyue, who is in his thirties, burly, with a national face, a beard, a pair of long eyes and bright eyes, wearing black refined armor, and is completely a standard image of a mighty soldier.

On his right sat a young general, with a finely armored beast helmet and a square face and thick eyebrows, it was Zhao Tie.

At the bottom sat four Wei army captains, all of whom were generals with cold faces and fierce faces.

Wu Haoyue looked at the bamboo slip in her hand, and said with hesitation: "The Qin army said that it would withdraw the siege for one day and let go of the people and wounded soldiers in the city, how credible do you think it is?" ”

A lieutenant rose up in response and said, "General, the Qin army has always been brutal, it is impossible to have such a kind heart. If the people and wounded soldiers want to leave the city, they will be killed by the Qin army, and the general must not be calculated! ”

Another lieutenant also said: "Exactly, even if the Qin army is sincere, our army will not agree." Once the people and wounded soldiers leave the city, the morale of the army in the city will inevitably collapse, and it will be even more difficult to hold on to the abandoned city. So I didn't agree with it! ”

Wu Haoyue looked at Zhao Tie, and said with a solemn face: "Tie'er, what do you see?" What exactly did Qin Jun mean by this? ”

Zhao Tie knew that this must be a plan to help Su, although he knew that Fusu's plan was not all good, but the temptation of saving countless people and wounded soldiers in the abandoned city was still unstoppable for the kind-hearted Zhao Tie.

Zhao Tie then said: "Father, Qin Jun's move will not be a plan. I know a little about Fusu, and he can be regarded as a kind-hearted person, and he is quite well received in the Qin State, and he will never kill people and wounded soldiers who leave the city. In addition, there is a gradual shortage of food in the city, and if a large number of people and wounded soldiers are released, a large amount of food can be saved, which is conducive to our army holding out for a longer time. The most important thing is that after letting go of the people in the city who are not strong-willed, the rest are loyal and righteous people who are determined to resist violence, which is conducive to all people working together to resist Qin! Please check the above points! ”

Wu Haoyue thought for a while and said resolutely: "What Tie'er said is good, I have guarded the ruined city for many years and defended the national capital, but I have not benefited the people of the ruined city much. Now that the two armies are at war, it is the responsibility of our soldiers to keep the enemy out of the country, how can we let innocent people live and die with the ruined city! Pass my order, those who are willing to go out of the city, can prepare quickly today, tomorrow tomorrow, I will open the four gates, so that the people and wounded soldiers can find their own way! ”

Seeing that Wu Haoyue had made a decision, the generals hurriedly got up and said, "Oh! ”

Looking at the retreating figures of the generals, Zhao Tiechang took a breath and said secretly: "Come on, Cheng Feng, let's fight it out without worry!" ”

******

When the military order was handed down, the ancient ruined city suddenly became agitated: some of the people cheered and rejoiced that they could escape death; Some were uncertain, not knowing whether Qin Jun's move was good or evil; Some are inseparable from their homeland and vow to live and die with their homeland. For a while, the people were in a mess, the family often quarreled because of different opinions, and the chickens and dogs in the city were so lively!

Compared with the chaos and noise of the people, the wounded soldiers seemed much calmer, out of the sense of responsibility of the soldiers and the respect for General Wu Haoyue, few wounded soldiers were willing to flee, and most of them chose to stay and live with the ruined city.

The situation was reported to Wu Haoyue and Zhao Tie, and the two were greatly moved and went to the wounded barracks to persuade the wounded soldiers.

When the two entered the wounded barracks, the wounded soldiers with heavy faces surrounded them, and everyone said with a resolute look on their faces: "General, let's not leave!" "Yes, we swear to live and die with the ruined city!" "Whoever leaves is not a man from Wei!" ……

Wu Haoyue and Zhao Tie were greatly moved when they saw this, Wu Haoyue straightened her face and waved her hand, and the wounded soldiers gradually quieted down.

Wu Haoyue's eyes welled up with tears, and she said movingly: "Brothers, be quiet. I know that my brothers are real men, and they don't want to run away. However, you are all wounded soldiers, and you have all done your duty as soldiers, and you have shed hot blood to defend the ruined city. Now that you have lost your fighting power, it is useless to continue to die. Let's go, remember, this is not a discussion, this is a military order! ”

Zhao Tie also said, "Brothers, let's go." You have done your best, and your departure now does not detract from the dignity of the soldiers. And after you leave, the brothers we left behind can also fight the Qin army to the end! ”

The wounded soldiers cried when they heard this, and they knelt down to bow to Wu Wuyue a few times, and then staggered to pack their simple bags and prepare to leave.

Early the next morning, the four gates of the ruined city were opened, and the Wei army sent a rebuke to investigate from all sides and reported that the Qin army besieging the four sides of the ruined city had indeed withdrawn to the camp, and there was no Qin army guarding the roads. The people and the wounded soldiers were relieved that at the moment, the bold ones went first, and after half a day, they saw that there was no accident for those who left first, and the follow-up people left the abandoned city one after another and went to their relatives and friends.

By the evening, in addition to more than 20,000 Wei troops, less than 5,000 people were willing to live and die with the ruined city!

As the sun set, the encirclement of the Qin army was restored, and the ruined city was once again surrounded by airtightness!

******

The sky was getting dark, and Fusu was anxiously waiting for the news of the smiling spring breeze in the camp, and he seemed to be restless. Huofeng and the others were more strange, and at that moment Qingluan asked, "Childe, you are in such a hurry, what news are you waiting for?" Or are you waiting for someone? ”

Fusu hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait for someone!" Wuxin wondered, and asked suspiciously, "Who is Childe waiting for?" Could it be that there is an envoy from Xianyang? ”

Fusu shook his head and said, "No, I'm waiting for an old man from Wei State!" "Old man!?" Wuxin and the others looked at each other, obviously puzzled, and they didn't think that Fusu would have an old man in Wei for a while!

Fusu smiled and nodded: "It's the old man, you all know each other!" But you may not be able to guess who? Su Xue Bingxue was smart, a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, and she said with a smile: "But the talented women of Wei Guo that Yan met laughed at everyone? ”

Fu Su was stunned, looked at Su Xue and suddenly smiled, pointed at Su Xue and nodded: "Su Xue, you are really a ghost, tell me, why is it her?" Su Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "When I look at the son who is restless like this, with affection in his eyes, the person who is waiting for must be the son's confidant." And how many old people of Wei do we know? Nothing more than that laughing everyone! If you can't guess it, it will come out, and the loss of the boy is still mysterious! ”

Everyone had an epiphany and laughed for a while, but there was obviously a little jealousy in the eyes of the four Huofeng.

Fusu pretended to be annoyed and said, "Okay, Su Xue, you dare to laugh at me, see if I don't clean you up!" As he spoke, he picked up his arms and rolled up his sleeves, and he was about to tickle Su Xue's itch.

When no one is around, the relationship between Fusu and Wuxin, Huofeng and others has always been very harmonious and casual!

Su Xue was taken aback, and flashed behind Huo Feng with a coquettish smile. Just as Fusu was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, he overheard someone outside the tent report: "Your Majesty, there are three girls holding the monarch's token and asking to see you outside the tent!" ”

Fusu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he immediately returned to normal, and responded: "Come in!" "Wow!"

After a while, the curtain opened, and three curling figures walked in, who was not the first one who was not smiling in the spring breeze!

Fusu walked a few steps, held Xiaochun's hands, and said happily: "Chunfeng, why are you only here now, I am so anxious to wait!" Smiling in the spring breeze, the room seemed to be filled with the fragrance of flowers like a summer garden, and said coquettishly: "Childe is in a hurry?" But if you don't see Childe keep his promise, how can the spring breeze come as promised! ”

Fusu smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, Chunfeng still didn't believe me!" Xiao Chunfeng said angrily: "Who told you to deceive me so hard when you were in Yan Kingdom, what if you let you wait!" When everyone heard this, they laughed for a moment!

Fusu snorted embarrassedly and said, "Wasn't it inconvenient at that time!" Haha, come on, dinner, I'm waiting for the spring breeze so hard, and I haven't eaten dinner! The spring breeze has never been useful, so let's eat together! Xiao Chunfeng smiled and nodded.

The atmosphere in the dinner room was also harmonious, and it was a foregone conclusion that Huo Feng and the others would follow Fusu with the smile and spring breeze, so they had no choice but to accept it.

After dinner, Fusu said to Xiao Chunfeng: "Chunfeng, now in the army, you have no name, which is very inconvenient. And a big war is about to break out, I will take care of you flawlessly, I want a team of soldiers and horses to send you back to Xianyang Lingyan Pavilion, are you willing? ”

Xiao Chunfeng was stunned, as if he had considered this, and nodded a little reluctantly.

******

The next day, after Fusu sent Xiao Chunfeng away, he immediately ordered the drumming to raise the tent and gather the generals to discuss the matter.

In the rumbling of the snare drums, the three-way drums, the generals gathered and stood on both sides.

Fusu was in high spirits, with a solemn expression, a murderous face, and a majestic atmosphere of looking forward to life. Seeing this, the generals were in high spirits, knowing that the preparations for the war were about to begin, and they were all eager to grab a vanguard!

Fusu looked at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, now that the deployment of the abandoned city is familiar, it is time to prepare to take the abandoned city!" ”

Wang Ben was overjoyed when he heard this: "Could it be that the king has a good plan!?" I haven't listened to you! ”

Fu Su smiled and said: "With the strict defense of the ruined city, it is simply difficult to break through the city defense with ordinary offensive methods, so I have to adopt some ingenious methods!" Come on, take the sand table! ”

Hearing the order, the four Chinese soldiers trotted all the way up the sand table, and then bowed down and retreated. Fu Su stepped down from the handsome case, pointed to the west, south, and north of the abandoned city and said: "The Wei army has arranged three lines of defense in front of and behind on these three sides, which can support each other, and the defense is extremely fierce. In order to break through these three defenses, our army must think of ways in three aspects: mobility, defense, and attack power.

Only excellent mobility can pass through the attack surface in front of the Wei army's trench as quickly as possible, and reach the front of the Wei army's trench with the fewest casualties.

Only with excellent defense can we better protect our soldiers in the face of the Wei army's trebuchets, rain of arrows, hexagonal nails and other offensives, so that our army has sufficient troops available.

Similarly, there must be a strong attack force, so that after attacking the enemy's defense line, you can quickly and effectively annihilate the Wei army and withstand the counterattack of the Wei army, instead of being beaten back by the Wei army!

From the three aspects mentioned by Benjun Shicai, Zhu Qing take a look, what do you think? ”

Li Xin reacted the fastest, and said hurriedly: "Of the three aspects that the king said, the most suitable is only the cavalry, could it be that the king is the intention!?" "He is worthy of being a genius in cavalry warfare, and he really reacted quickly.

Fusu nodded and said, "It's also right and it's not right." Although the 'Broken Army' I brought with me and General Li's 5,000 headquarters are both new-style cavalry that have been formed in recent years, they are only barely competent in terms of mobility and attack power, and they are much lacking in defensive power. In particular, the officers and men of our army do not like armor and take it as a burden, which is like a fish board on a chopping board in the face of the Wei army's impregnable defense! ”

Although the generals were a little indignant when they heard this, it was also a fact, in the face of the Wei army's dense rain of arrows, stone rain and hexagonal nails everywhere and other obstacles, the Qin infantry and the old-style cavalry were repeatedly defeated, and the casualties were heavy, and the miserable scene of the generals was simply vivid!

Fusu continued: "So, if you want to strengthen the defense of our army, you must strengthen the armor. The existing leather armor is not the best use, and excellent blacksmiths in the Nanyang area of South Korea must be used to create an invulnerable ironclad cavalry! ”
