Chapter 659: Spiritual Offensive

"What about you two, what's the plan?" Su Zhe looked at Pang Tong and Jia Xu.

Pang Tong was silent.

Jia Xu coughed a few times dryly, and said unhurriedly: "In fact, the old man thinks that no matter how strong the city wall is, if the people defending the city lose confidence, it will be useless. ”

"It seems that Wenhe has an idea, keep talking." Su Zhe waved his hand and smiled.

Jia Xu said slowly: "When Sun Ce won Jiangdong, he killed those who did not accept it very much, and many Jiangdong people were afraid of his military might, so they had to surrender. ”

"Now that Sun Ce has lost consecutive battles, lost troops and lost land, and how many Jiangdong sons and daughters have been buried on the battlefield, I think Jiangdong people must be both disappointed and complaining about him."

"And now that Sun Ce is isolated in Jiangbei, Sun Quan doesn't have enough prestige to suppress the hearts of Jianye, so we can start from here."

Su Zhe heard his words, and said: "Wen He's meaning, doesn't he want this king to take advantage of the Jiangdong people's dissatisfaction with Sun Ce and their disrespect for Sun Quan, disturb their military morale, and reduce their will to hold on?" ”

"Exactly." Jia Xu smiled, "Once the will of these Jiangdong soldiers to resist is broken, they will naturally not fight to defend the city for Sun Quan, and when the time comes, we will attack the city on a large scale, even if the outer city of Jianye is as solid as a rock, what is the use." ”

"Attack the city first and attack the heart, it is indeed a poisonous scorpion, this trick is poisonous enough." Su Zhe said with a smile.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, thank you King Wei for your praise." Jia Xu laughed bitterly and laughed at himself.

Su Zhe then decided to use Jia Xu's strategy to take the lead in launching a powerful spiritual offensive against the Jiangdong soldiers and civilians in Jianye City.

Three days later, nearly 50,000 copies of the "Letter to the Jiangdong Army and the People" were fired into Jianye City by the Wei army with strong bows and crossbows.

In this "Letter to the Jiangdong Military and People", Su Zhe, in the name of the imperial court, rebuked Sun Ce as a traitor, and counted the wanton killings of Jiangdong soldiers and civilians when Sun Ce took Jiangdong, so as to ignite the seeds of their hatred of Sun Ce.

At the same time, Su Zhe stated to the Jiangdong soldiers in the book that he was only following the edict of the Son of Heaven to crusade against Sun Ce, the traitor of the country, and had no intention of killing the people of Jiangdong.

Therefore, as long as the Jiangdong soldiers and civilians no longer "help the enemy", continue to work hard for Sun Ce, and capture Jianye, Su Zhe guarantees leniency for them.

On the contrary, if they are obsessed and have to serve Sun Ce, then after the city is broken, they will definitely be settled by the autumn queen.

As soon as this "Letter to the Military and Civilians of Jiangdong" fell into the hands of the military and civilians of Jianye, it immediately set off an uproar, and most of the already wavering will to resist of the military and civilians of a city was immediately disintegrated.

At the same time, Su Zhe also sent a large number of fine works to the heart of the three counties of Danyang, Wu, and Huiji, and spread this inscription everywhere, in order to destroy the Jiangdong people's will to resist, incite their dissatisfaction with the Sun clan, and then cause a rebellion.

In less than half a month, the entire hinterland of Sanwu was stirred up by Su Zhe's "Letter to the Military and Civilian People of Jiangdong", and people's hearts were in turmoil.

The seeds of hatred planted by Sun Ce when he conquered Jiangdong, the countless complaints about the death and injury of Sanwu Erlang due to successive defeats, and the oppression of the people caused by years of war and forced requisition of grain and grass, finally broke out at this moment.

For a time, rebellions broke out in the counties of Sanwu, and nearly a dozen counties raised anti-flags and announced their surrender to the imperial court represented by Su Zhe.

And those counties that have not yet rebelled have also begun to delay the grain and grass that Sun Quan urged to collect, and have entered a wait-and-see state.

The people in Jianye City are already in turmoil, and the news of the rebellion outside is even more confusing, and there are even people who are plotting to launch a mutiny and surrender in Kaesong.

In the face of Su Zheyi's systematic spiritual offensive, Sun Quan was also very helpless, so he could only take iron-blooded measures at the suggestion of Zhou Yu to severely suppress and kill those who attempted to rebel, and strangle the hidden dangers in the cradle.

Rebellions can be suppressed, but Sun Quan can't control people's hearts.

In the face of declining morale, Sun Quan could only take out the money from the bottom of the box in the treasury, declaring that as long as the soldiers could fight to the death and defend Jianye, everyone would be rewarded.

It's a pity that the pie painted by Sun Quan still failed to change the trend of disintegration of people's hearts.

And the fine work lurking in Jianye City soon sent the situation of the hearts of the people in the city to the outside of the city.

In the camp in the west of the city, tens of thousands of Great Wei soldiers had already held back their strength and were ready for a bloody battle.

In the king's tent, Su Zhegao sat on the top, and all the generals gathered.

Hu Che'er read aloud the turbulent information about the turmoil in Jianye City, and the audience was enthusiastic and eager to fight.

After reading the information, Su Zhe looked at Jia Xu and praised: "Wenhe, your strategy to attack the heart has really worked. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "According to this situation, King Wei can almost capture the outer city of Jianye." ”

Su Zhe's eyes were murderous, and he swept towards the generals.

Huang Zhong and the other generals were immediately in high spirits, and they couldn't wait to look at Su Zhe with their eyes, waiting for him to give an order.

"The King's Order!"

Su Zheteng stood up, flicked his hands and shouted: "Tomorrow afternoon, the whole army will have a full meal, give this king a boost, and take the outer city of Jianye!" ”

When the order was handed down, all the generals were enthusiastic and generously received the order.

The military discussion dispersed, the generals returned to their camps, and the orders of the King of Wei were conveyed, and the 70,000 Great Wei soldiers were also enthusiastic and eager to fight, all waiting to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

At dawn the next day, pigs and sheep were slaughtered in the Wei camp, and 70,000 soldiers had wine and meat, and they had a full meal.

Subsequently, the doors of the barracks were opened, and tens of thousands of soldiers, with full mental and physical strength, opened the camp with their heads held high, and gathered in the direction of the outer city of Jianye.

Su Zhe also sat on his crotch with a red rabbit, wearing gold armor, holding a sword and leaning on the sky, surrounded by all the generals, calmly stepped out of the camp and came to the front of the battle.

In the afternoon, the three armies were assembled.

Countless battle flags with the word "Wei", like rolling waves, hunt and fly in the wind.

Tens of thousands of halberd cold blades reflected the cold light, almost wanting to reflect the cold sky.

The soldiers of the Wei army were like crazy spirits, like beasts that had been gathering momentum for a long time, and their bloody eyes were fixed on the city.

Su Zhe immediately outside Jianye City, looked at the towering Jianye City in front of him from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The city in front of you originated in the Sun regime, and in history, since the Wu Kingdom, it has become the imperial capital of various dynasties and generations many times.

It is a capital city with a royal spirit.

It's a pity that she is also a short-lived capital, and the dynasty with her as the capital is either short-lived, or the national strength is declining, and it can only be in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Sun Ce, if you make a career in Jiangdong, you are destined to have no possibility of conquering the world, this is your fate......"

Su Zhe recalled the magnificent waves that happened here in history, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Then the eagle eyes gathered, the murderous awe, he drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Raze the outer city of Jianye to this king!" ”

Tom Tom Tom –

Woowoo woo –

The drums of war rang out, and the sound of trumpets pierced the sky, breaking the brief silence.

The tens of thousands of soldiers in the array were in a roar, with high morale, marching neatly, and the sky and the earth were falling apart and rolling towards the outer city of Jianye.

The offensive begins.

The bridge building team of more than 3,000 people was in front, more than 30,000 sword and shield men followed, and nearly 10,000 crossbowmen hid behind the shield array, advancing towards the enemy city.

Following the military formation, there were nearly 700 trebuchets, which were built by Su Zhe during the period when he launched the public opinion offensive.

Whoosh –

Seven hundred trebuchets took the lead in attacking the enemy city, and hundreds of huge stone bullets roared towards the city.

Bang bang bang!

In the loud sound of the landslide and the ground cracking, the enemy city was hit instantly, and the rubble splashed for a while, and the sound was terrifying.
