Outside Suiyang City, at this time, the city gates on all sides have been occupied by dense ballistas and bed crossbows. The siege troops near the gates received orders to attack at a specific time. This time, however, what was fired with siege weapons was no longer the scary stone bullets or crossbow arrows, but a sealed paper!

On these documents, it is clearly written that Taoqiu raised an army to attack Suiyang: Suiyang lost power and humiliated the country, and did not deal with the invasion of Xiangyi by Chu State; The ruler Hua Rong rebelled, betrayed the monarch with his ministers, and secretly attempted to assassinate Tao Qiujun, an important minister of the Song dynasty!

In these documents, it is clearly explained that Tao Qiujun raised an army, not to fight for power and profit, but to help Song Guosheji! The state power of the Song State can only be handled by Song Jun and the important ministers of the Song State, not by a person from the Chu State! In these documents, there is even an extremely loud slogan: The fate of the Song people can only be controlled by the Song people themselves!

And in all these documents, it is unmistakable that as long as he has a document in his hand, whether he is a nobleman of Suiyang, or a merchant or a commoner, or a Suiyang soldier who has killed Taoqiu soldiers, as long as he comes to surrender to the Taoqiu army outside the city with this kind of document, he can get a reward!

And the nobles or officials who surrender to Cheng will also have additional knighthoods!

For such a simple and crude surrender plan, many generals of the Taoqiu Army thought that it would not have much effect. Dai Yan, however, holds the opposite opinion, believing that such a simple and crude measure must be extremely effective. Because in his opinion, sometimes, a simple and crude way happens to be the most effective way!

In later generations, Qin Shi Huang unified the world, and the Qin State was strong and strong, but there was an important reason that the Qin State did not spare money to buy important ministers from various countries. Such a simple and crude method seems inconspicuous, and resourceful people disdain to use it, but in fact, Qin State used this method of bribery to buy off Guo Kai and let King Zhao kill Li Mu, the last famous general of the Warring States; In the same way, he bought off Qi Xiang and won the victory, so that Qi State, a powerful country, has always been independent from the Six Kingdoms, so that Qin State can sweep the Six Kingdoms with confidence!

Money, at some point, is able to channel the mind! Nowadays, the most important thing that Taoqiu lacks is money, there is no shortage of rewards, and these things are used to weaken the opponent's strength and strengthen their own strength, which is the best and most effective way to attack!

In Dai Yan's eyes, the documents are like bombs wrapped in sugar, its appearance is beautiful, but it is deadly and effective!

Regarding the use of ballistas and bed crossbows to invest in documents to persuade surrender, some generals once had questions: Can the civilians in Suiyang City understand these documents?

In the Warring States Period, where the literacy rate was extremely low, this seemed to be an extremely serious problem, but in Dai Yan's eyes, it was not a problem at all! Civilians who can't read documents, if they pick up this kind of thing, the effect will inevitably not be very great; Those nobles, officers and even businessmen who can really understand the documents, these are the objects that Dai Yan hopes to focus on!

Even if none of these surrender documents are willing to respond, then Hua Rong, the actual ruler of Suiyang City now, will definitely make some moves! After all, people are separated from each other, and no one can guess what other people think. Hua Rong himself is a native of Chu, how confident can he be that all the royal nobles in Suiyang City are willing to pay allegiance to him?

Even the most skilled people in politics dare not have such self-confidence. As an ordinary person, Hua Rong will definitely be suspicious, in this way, he will inevitably divide the forces in Suiyang City, his own lineage is naturally the highest level of trust, and those armies that do not belong to Hua's power will naturally not be trusted by him!

As long as there is a differentiation in trust, then there will inevitably be some people who are chilled, and then there will be people who surrender to Taoqiu Army! After someone surrenders, the trust foundation in the entire Suiyang City will be further reduced, and then the situation will continue to deteriorate, which will eventually lead to the collapse of trust in the entire Suiyang City, and then civil strife!

This is Dai Yan's battle for Suiyang City, this is a real conspiracy, Suiyang is almost incomprehensible!

As Dai Yan thought, when Tao Qiujun threw many documents into Suiyang City, the atmosphere in the entire Suiyang City immediately became tense!

Now in Suiyang City, after the death of Le's power, there are only three main forces left, namely Hua's allegiance to Huarong, and the royal clan loyal to the country's Junzixi, as well as the civilians scattered throughout Suiyang City.

It seems that there are the most civilians in the entire Suiyang City, and it should be a powerful force, but in fact, the civilians have no organizational ability, although its number is large, but its power is scattered, it is a group of rabble, in fact, it has no impact on the situation in the entire Suiyang.

The remaining two forces are Fahrenheit and Huang. Although the number of Fahrenheit is small, under the operation of Huarong over the years, the power has developed rapidly, and because of Huarong's clever methods, Hua's cohesion is extremely strong! Even in the war between Suiyang and Taoqiu, although the Suiyang army was defeated many times, Hua's strength losses were very limited.

The other force is the power of the Imperial Clan. This force used to be the most important strength foundation for the Huang clan to complete the Dai clan's capture of the Song Dynasty, and it was also the basic force for Zixi to rule the Song Kingdom. However, now, because Zixi is imprisoned and does not show up often, coupled with Hua Rong's deliberate suppression, it has begun to clearly divide into several factions.

Among them, there is a loyal monarch faction who swears allegiance to Zixi; There are also regional factions that naturally oppose the seizure of power by forces other than Suiyang; There are also clans loyal to the Imperial Clan; There is also a "pragmatic school" who "understands current affairs" and falls to Fahrenheit!

The power of the Royal Clan was once extremely powerful, and a single Le Clan or even Fahrenheit could not compete with the Royal Clan. However, when the entire Huang clan did not have such a platform figure as Zixi as a cohesion, the power of the entire Huang clan had actually been dispersed, which was also the most important reason why Hua and Le's joined forces to imprison Zixi and control the situation in Suiyang!

Now that Le's power has died, with only a single Fahrenheit's power, in fact, it is impossible to suppress the entire Huang clan, Suiyang has been able to maintain a stable state so far, all because Hua Rong used superb means to pull and fight the Huang clan in order to maintain the stability of the situation.

However, all of this changed after Tao Qiu Jun's paperwork was thrown into Suiyang City! In Hua Rong's opinion, in order to prevent the Huang clan from privately surrendering to the Taoqiu army, and even dedicating the city, it is necessary to make changes in the entire Suiyang's city defense deployment! He put Hua's core strength into the defense of the city gates of Suiyang, and the main generals of the city gates were all replaced by Hua's generals!

Such a reasonable move in Hua Rong's eyes immediately caused a backlash from the royal nobles! In the eyes of the royal nobles, the Hua clan is just a declining clan, and their rise in the near future is only due to the reward of the royal clan!

Suiyang's city defense, how could such an important thing be completely handed over to Fahrenheit to control? Among the nobles of the royal family, there were originally some regional factions that were biased towards Huarong, and they even directly began to resist the acceptance of the four gates of Suiyang!

For the regional faction in Suiyang, controlling the national capital means controlling the Song State, so they have the toughest attitude towards Taoqiu's attack. However, if Hua Rong wants to deprive them of this right, it is tantamount to robbing them of their power!

After all, not allowing Tao Qiu to control the situation in the Song Kingdom is a long-term interest for these regional factions; However, depriving them of control of Suiyang is to damage their current interests! If they can't influence the governance of the entire Song State by controlling the national capital, then what is the difference between these noble Suiyang nobles and those local tycoons?

The forced opposition of the regionals made Hua Rong worried, and he had to let the princes of the country come out to take charge of the country, and under the call of the king, these regionals reluctantly spit out part of the control of the city gates, and gave up the position of the lords of the city gates. In fact, most of the officers and even soldiers guarding the city gates are still controlled by this faction.

The first knife of the Taoqiu Army's battle to attack the heart drew a rift between Hua Rong and the nobles of the Huang family!

Subsequently, Dai Yan began the second move of the battle of attacking the heart, he changed his previous style of not believing in ghosts and gods, and personally came to the Sheji Altar outside Suiyang City, where he held a grand sacrificial ceremony, where he sacrificed to the ancestors of the Song Kingdom, and counted the many crimes of Hua Rong, the powerful minister who is now in charge of the Song Kingdom!

This huge sacrifice, Dai Yan held a particularly grand ceremony, any Song people in Suiyang City, can see the smoke burning outside the city, and can see the blazing bonfire outside the city at night, and hear the melodious music brought by the performance of "Mulberry Forest"!

After the sacrifice was completed, Dai Yan asked the army distributed in the four gates to sing the Shang Song. Poems such as Yi and Na He, Cry Lie Ancestor, Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, Descending and Giving Birth to Shang and other poems entered the ears of the Song people, and the people in Suiyang City began to reflect at this time: We have the same ancestor as the Taoqiu people, so why are we fighting here through thick walls?

Is there so much hatred between us?

It's not just civilians who think so, but even some soldiers and even officers are beginning to have similar thoughts! In the eyes of these people, the leaders of Suiyang and Taoqiu were originally brothers, so what made the two brothers start fighting like this?

People began to think of the words of Tao Qiujun, a virtuous son: Tao Qiu was forced to raise troops because Hua Rong and Le Cheng, the rulers of Suiyang, were traitors who deceived the king! For such a reason, whether others believe it or not, anyway, the Suiyang people who are besieged in the city believe it!

So, after the battle of attacking the heart, what Dai Yan dreamed of happened: hundreds of soldiers of the Suiyang Army secretly got down from the treadmill arrows launched by the Taoqiu Army at night, came to the Taoqiu Army camp, and surrendered to the Taoqiu Army!

Even the defenders of Suiyang, the regional faction of the Huang faction, began to send envoys to the Taoqiu army camp to negotiate with Dai Yan about the surrender of the city!

For Dai Yan, the Suiyang defenders sacrificed the city, this is something he dreamed of doing!
