After the Jingzhou army surrounded the people, Ma Hong ordered to only surround and not kill, and there were also women and young teenagers among the people.

When Liu Bei saw this, he said to Ma Hong: "In the face of the people who are confused by Zhang Lu, what should we do, if they are released, they will also assist Zhang Lu in defending the city......"

"Uncle Huang heard the barking of dogs at night?" Ma Hong asked.

Liu Bei said: "I've heard it." ”

"When a dog barks, the dogs in the whole village follow suit, but in fact, people behave like dogs."

Human life is almost the same as dog life, Liu Bei agrees very much, human life in this era is as cheap as dog life, but people and dogs should be much worse!

"Uncle Huang thinks that all these people worship Zhang Lu as a god, and they would rather die for Zhang Lu?" Ma Hong asked.

"Looking at this scene, the people are surrounded but do not surrender, isn't it?"

"It's not." Ma Hong shook his head and said: "The three of them are in a crowd, is it possible that all of them have received Zhang Lu's favor?" No, maybe hundreds of them have received Zhang Lu's favor, been bewitched by Zhang Lu, and become Zhang Lu's believers, but there are many people who have not been directly deceived by Zhang Lu, and those who have not been deceived stay with these deceived people all day long, and they will also be infected, and then they also begin to believe in Zhang Lu's teachings and worship Zhang Lu as a god. ”

Liu Bei pondered for a while, nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is right, but what can we do if we know this?" ”

"They regard Zhang Lu as the leader of the sect, and regard Zhang Lu as a god in their hearts, but they are surrounded, and the god in their hearts does not come to save them, will they have doubts in their hearts, they will definitely be, when they have doubts in their hearts, we will send soldiers to mix in with these people, and then be the dog that barks first at night."

Liu Bei clapped his hands and said with a sudden realization: "Then there will be more and more dissatisfied voices, and then they will begin to shake the faith in their hearts, why hasn't the sect leader come to save us." ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly, and continued: "Death in an instant is not terrible, but waiting for death slowly is very terrible, when people calm down and starve them for three days, they will think of more and more things, we can trigger their emotions, and then give them food, give them drink, and then put them back in the city." ”

Zhang Fei on the side laughed and said: "Then these people returned to the city, and it became the first dog barking in the night, and then more and more believers doubted Zhang Lu, and then from doubt to dissatisfaction, and finally the emotions exploded, they would not defend the city for Zhang Lu, right?" ”

"Brother Fei, you're right!" Ma Hong laughed and continued: "And women's mouths are even stronger, once they are dissatisfied, the speed of this message will be faster, and there are many women among this people. ”

Liu Bei once said that brothers are like siblings and women are like clothes, and now he agrees with what Ma Hong said.

"Won't Zhang Lu save his people? His eldest son was taken captive by us. ”

Ma Hong smiled: "He won't." ”

"Why not?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Because we want to put his eldest son back, then he has no incentive to come, and when the time comes, we will publicize it and let the people of Zhang Lu know that Zhang Fu has gone back and they are still here."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Liu Bei sighed.

When Huang Zhong brought Zhang Fu up, the joy on Huang Zhong's face, the expression seemed to say: Look, I caught Zhang Lu's son, look, I'm still a little useful, isn't it!

"General Huang has worked hard!" Ma Hong smiled at Huang Zhong.

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter, what should I do with this person?" Huang Zhong asked.

Ma Hong smiled slightly and did not answer Huang Zhong immediately, but stepped forward to personally untie Zhang Fu, took Zhang Fu's hand and said cordially: "Brother Zhang, you have suffered, come and sit down." ”

Zhang Fu was a little confused by Ma Hong for a while, and he didn't know how to speak. Liu Bei is also an old Jianghu, and his ability to fight cannons is also quite clever, so he immediately asked the soldiers to bring wine and food, and said to Zhang Fu: "Zhang sacrificial wine, I'm afraid I'm hungry!" Come, drink, eat! [Zhang Lu took "governance" as the management unit, and in his ruling area, there were twenty-four governance. Each ruler does not have a chief official, and manages administrative, military, religious and other matters with sacrificial wine. The sacrificial wine is the master of the Taoist people, and regular gatherings and visits. 】

Zhang Fu didn't know what the two of them were going to do, and I heard that when well-wishers wanted to kill someone, they would prepare good food and wine for the killed person to enjoy, and then go on the road with peace of mind. Ma Hong and Liu Bei were both born with a charitable face, which made Zhang Fu feel a pain in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Are you two going to give me the last supper?" ”

Ma Hong was stunned, this rich brain hole is also quite big, as the future sect leader, it should be normal for the brain to be bigger. [Zhang Fu, Zi Yuanwei, Zhang Lu's eldest son. The prime minister of Bi Cheng Peng gave things, the Huangmen squire, the Han Dynasty Taishou, and the Marquis of Fengchang Pavilion. In the end, he was enlightened and dismembered. 】

"Oops! Brother Zhang is suspicious, please eat. ”

Ma Hong said with a smile.

Although Zhang Fu had doubts in his heart, he was really hungry, Ma Hong wanted to kill him, and he would die sooner or later, so it was better to eat and drink first.

After Zhang Fu ate and drank enough, he wiped his mouth unhurriedly and said to Ma Hong: "I'm full of food and drink, can I tell a story?" ”

"Of course, please." Ma Hong said with a smile.

Zhang Fu cleared his throat and said: "Once upon a time, there was a good man who caught a turtle and wanted to eat the turtle meat, but he couldn't bear to kill the turtle with a knife in his own hand, and then he thought of a way. The good man put a red-hot copper ruler on the boiling oil pot and said to the turtle that if you can climb over it, it will prove that God wants you to live, and if you fall into the oil pot, it means that God wants you to die. At last the tortoise climbed over the bronze ruler with severe pain, and then the good man smiled and said to the tortoise, "You are so lucky, come, let's do it again." ”

When Zhang Fu finished telling the story, Ma Hong was smiling, smiling but not stiff. This Zhang Fu obviously followed this story to mock Ma Hong and Liu Bei, saying that the two were hypocrites, and hypocrites were more shameless than villains.

Liu Bei said: "The good story told by Zhang Xijiu is just that you are not the turtle in the story, and we are not the good people in the story." So rest assured, we won't embarrass you. ”

"After eating this meal, if Brother Zhang wants to leave, he can do it at any time, and he will not stop him." Ma Hong said.

Zhang Fu's eyes lit up, and he asked again unhurriedly, "Do you mean to let me go?" ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Yes, but I want to ask Brother Zhang to bring back a word for Ling Zun." ”

"Please say, whether it can enter my father's ears or not, I will tell you the truth." Zhang Fudao.

Ma Hong now admires Zhang Fu a little, such an attitude and temperament that is not chaotic in the face of danger, as if putting life out of the way, really has the appearance of a master, Ma Hong saw Zhang Fu talking like this, smiled slightly, and said: "Please Brother Zhang tell Ling Zun that it is better to surrender early to resist the three-way attack with a county." ”

Zhang Fu nodded and said, "I know, I don't want to see this miserable situation again." ”

If you don't want to see it, go back quickly to persuade your god stick father to surrender, of course, this can't be said directly, Ma Hong said with a smile: "Before Brother Zhang leaves, I also want to tell Brother Zhang a story." ”

"Please." Zhang Fudao.

"Once upon a time, there were two Taoist priests living on the mountain, an old Taoist priest and a small Taoist priest. Whenever the hunter went to the mountain to hunt, the old Taoist priest always advised the hunter not to kill, and always took the trouble to persuade the hunter not to kill, because if he killed too much, he would be punished. The old Taoist priest was very eloquent and persuaded the hunters, who were grateful for the old Taoist priest's teaching, not only did they stop hunting animals in the mountains, but they would offer some tribute every few days. One day, the little Taoist priest finally couldn't help but ask the old Taoist priest: Master, why did you persuade those hunters not to kill, and we always eat meat secretly. The old Taoist priest smiled and said to the little Taoist priest: "Child, if all the birds and beasts on the mountain are caught by those hunters, what will we eat in the future?" ”

After Ma Hong finished speaking, he looked at the food table, on which Zhang Fu ate the leftover meat and vegetables, and drank the leftover wine.

Liu Bei laughed, Ma Hong used wine and meat to ridicule Zhang Lu's father and son as fake Taoist priests, Zhang Lu set an iron law in Hanzhong, banned alcohol, and did not allow disciples to eat meat. This Zhang Fu, as the eldest son of Zhang Lu and the future leader of the Wudoumi Sect, actually ate wine and meat in the enemy's camp tent, isn't this obviously just the state officials setting fires and not allowing the people to light lamps? There are still so many disciples who desperately defend the city for his Zhang family, and they are not more hypocritical, and they are not more evil.

Zhang Fu was ironically ridiculed by Ma Hong, his face was slightly red, and he was speechless for a while. (To be continued.) )
