He Ping led the remaining Hanzhong defenders to surrender, and Ge Liang's front and rear armies were able to connect, and Huang Quan quickly led the rear army to transport the baggage to the front army, and joined forces with Ge Liang, and then joined Wei Yan together.

Ge Liang gathered the captured Hanzhong sergeants together and announced to them: "Nanzheng is in front of you, and now that the danger does not exist, Zhang Lu will definitely be broken by our army." Our lord, General Liu Zuo, is benevolent and loves the people, and does not want to be strong. Although a few days ago, we were still killing each other to the death, but now I declare that those who believe that we will occupy Hanzhong, please stay and fight with us, and those who do not believe in it can now go home and reunite with their families, and we will not force them to stay. ”

When the generals heard this, they were all a little anxious: "Military advisor, aren't you letting the tiger return to the mountain?" We only have a total of 5,000 men, if we put more than 2,000 enemy troops back and help Zhang Lu defend the city, then can we still take Nanzheng? ”

Ge Liang said calmly: "Don't worry, there are not so many people who want to go back, we will break through the Micang Road so quickly, how many people will believe that Zhang Lu can hold Hanzhong?" ”

The captured Hanzhong sergeants immediately talked about it, and they didn't dare to recognize each other as having such a good thing, and no one stood up for a long time to say that they wanted to go back, and the generals were relieved.

Ge Liang was not satisfied with this result, and reiterated again: "I said, everyone rest assured, if you are willing to go home, we will not embarrass you." ”

Who knows, maybe people are purely trying to force everyone to show their loyalty, and once they say they will go back, they will be immediately cut off their heads, and none of the Hanzhong sergeants dare to stand up.

How can this be done, Ge Liang found out the two Qu Chang who had been sent to persuade He Ping to surrender, and asked them: "Do you know the family situation of these sergeants, do you have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-month-old daughter to raise, and if so, find them out and persuade him to go home." ”

The two Qu Commanders didn't know what Ge Liang was going to do, but since they had ordered it, they still checked it in their hearts: "It's not as difficult as the military advisor said, in a civilian home, few old mothers can live to be eighty years old." However, there are two of them, the family is poor, the parents are old, the children are young, and the brothers who stay at home to take care of them are not in good health. ”

"Then go and persuade them." Ge Liang needs someone to take the lead.

Wei Yan couldn't help but say: "People are willing to follow us to attack the city, but the military division is trying his best to drive them back to be our enemies." ”

The two sergeants were concerned about their families, and came out under the persuasion and assurance of Qu Chang, saying that they wanted to go home.

Ge Liang continued to say to the rest of the people: "Don't worry, everyone can understand that we can understand all the old, weak, sick and disabled relatives who need to be taken care of, and we will never embarrass you!" ”

It was easy for someone to take the lead, and after a while, people came forward one after another, and the need increased and increased, and it even reached as much as half of the surrendered army.

Ge Liang was satisfied, and ordered each of them to be given a day's dry food, and finally announced loudly: "Let everyone go back to take care of their families, in fact, I have no choice." Let's tell you the truth, we have already contacted many people and big families in Nanzheng City, and when the time comes, we will cooperate with the outside and the outside, and it will only be a matter of a few days to defeat Nanzheng. But you are already clear people who sincerely submit to General Zuo, and we don't want the city to be too chaotic and hurt your family when the city is broken, so we let you go back, in fact, so that you can arrange it in advance and save them from the war! ”

The soldiers received food and went back one after another, and Ge Liang asked Wei Yan: "Have you cut enough trees in the past few days?" ”

Wei Yan replied: "That's enough, and some of them are relatively dry, when you get to the edge of the Han River, you can tie up a wooden raft and cross six thousand people, it should be half a day." ”

Ge Liang nodded: "That's good, hurry up and cook, and after eating, the army will set off!" ”

Wei Yanle couldn't support it: "It turns out that the military advisor has already arranged an internal response in Nanzheng City, and I said it earlier, so I wouldn't have stopped here for so long, and I followed Yang Ang into the city in one breath." ”

"You want to be beautiful." Ge Liang gave him a scoop of cold water, "Where did Neiying come from, we came to fight Hanzhong not long after we hit Yizhou, how can we have time to find Neiying." Where should it be so easy to find. ”

He Ping was very surprised, just now he thought that Yang Ang's quick defeat was also trapped as Ge Liang's internal response in the army.

Wei Yan opened his mouth: "Military Master, there is an internal response in the city that you said yourself just now!" ”

"Lie to them." Ge Liang said proudly, "I just want them to bring this news to Nanzheng City, so that Zhang Lu doesn't dare to sleep." ”

"Most of those sergeants are not from the city. Most of your dismissal is to go back to the countryside to farm. He Ping kindly reminded.

Ge Liang Yileng: "Huh? I'm wrong, so there should be a lot of people going back to the city, right? They are all Yang Ang's subordinates. ”

"I'm afraid that Yang Ang will be unable to protect himself if he goes back now." Wei Yan couldn't help but interject.

He Ping hurriedly said: "In the small and medium-sized places of Han, Zhang Lu actually doesn't have many people available, and now it is difficult to protect himself, and he is afraid that it will be more difficult to control the situation by killing Yang Ang, so he should still use it." ”

"That's good, that's good." Ge Liang put his mind at ease, "Zhang Lu will not kill Yang Ang casually, Yang Ang must also keep his strength, so that after those sergeants run back, even if they will be imprisoned, Yang Ang will find a way to keep them." Besides, there will always be someone who will find a way to avoid Zhang Lu's interrogation. ”

Wei Yan still felt pity: "Wouldn't it be better to keep them here to strengthen our strength." ”

"Alas," said Ge Liang with a sigh, "these are new people, and their hearts are unstable. We already have few people, and if we are distracted to take care of them, it is better to simply let them go back to help us do propaganda, even those who run back to the countryside will play a big role in quickly stabilizing the people's hearts after we occupy Hanzhong. ”

A spark can start a prairie fire, you know?

After speaking, he said to He Ping: "Brother Zijun, don't be suspicious, I didn't mean you." You're Brazilian. By the way, I heard that your real surname is Wang, when are you going to change it back? ”

He Ping hurriedly replied: "Since the military advisor ordered it, I will change it back." From now on, my name will be Wang Ping. ”

Huang Quan stood up to help Ge Liang speak: "Be lenient to others, it is General Zuo's consistent behavior, for the sake of the lord's early establishment of grace and trust in Hanzhong, I think it is wise to make such a decision." ”

Ge Liang said: "Okay, let's not discuss this, go to dinner, and hurry up to march." We're actually alone now. Earlier, General Huang Quan also asked me why I didn't leave troops to guard the two intersections in the back. I said no, such a small number of people, rushed so far, I didn't plan to leave a way out, either take Nanzheng in one go, or die here! ”

But in my heart, I was saying, okay, in fact, I didn't tell you, some of them were specially arranged by me to sneak into the city, okay, if you don't let so many people go back, can you get through so easily?
