Chapter 61: Surrender

This attack was just a temptation, after all, there were still 200,000 defenders in the city, and it was not realistic to take it directly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Su Yunjun's casualties were negligible, but those homeless people were almost killed and wounded, they were originally cannon fodder, but they just changed directions.

Back in the military tent, Su Yun remained silent.

"Uncle, what are you depressed?" Xiao Tiandao came over.

"Alas, so many people died because of me, and my heart is always uncomfortable." Su Yun sighed.

"Didn't you say it yourself? Compared to this plane, sacrifice is always inevitable, and besides, if you do this, at least many people will be able to escape, otherwise if you really fight, these people will also die. Xiao Tiandao didn't have a hippie smile as usual, and said seriously.

"That's true, but after all, I use them as chess pieces to lay out, these people have no grudge against me, but they die because of me, which always makes me difficult to let go." Su Yun was still a little depressed.

"In order to build a road, you filled in an ant nest, and there were tens of millions of deaths and injuries? Do you also have a troubled conscience? Xiao Tiandao thought for a moment and asked.

Su Yun: "Of course not, but they are not human. ā€

Xiao Tiandao shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't you have a person called Buddha who said that all beings are equal?" What is the difference between humans and ants being creatures? ā€

Su Yun: "I'm not a Buddha, all I care about and care about is human beings. ā€

"Isn't that it? From the perspective of the reincarnation instrument, what is the difference between us and ants, aren't all living beings reincarnated in their own timelines, each with its own number of lives, and there is no point in dwelling on these. Xiao Tiandao can see more thoroughly than Su Yun, not that she is insightful, but her existence itself is very detached, although she has no memory of Tiandao, but she is still an "outsider" in her subconscious.

Su Yun had some insights after hearing this, for the reincarnation instrument, he is indeed just an ant, if he can't complete the task and is wiped out, the reincarnation instrument will not have pity on him, it doesn't matter whether it's fair or unfair, the rules are like this, just like in this era, the strong are respected, if you want to control your own destiny, you can only become stronger.

After thinking about this, he finally felt better.

In any case, the 100,000 displaced people have been settled, the outside of Handan City has been vacated, and the real confrontation has just begun.

The use of the old and weak women and children to defeat the exile army has caused a lot of impact, and those Confucian scholars who are full of morality and benevolence cannot help but criticize and write, this era is so strange, the streets are full of starving homeless people and no one pays attention, but this incident has inspired many people's hypocritical "sense of justice." ā€

Fortunately, Su Yun had already thought of this, he didn't carry this notoriety, as early as when he sent troops to capture women and children, he gave an order, asking the soldiers to inform the people that this was the decision of the imperial court, and poured all the dirty water on Liu Xuan, anyway, he is still a minister of Xuanhan now, and he just acts according to orders.

This impact is very far-reaching, at least in Hebei Liu Xuan's people's will is lost, of course, it can't be seen in a short time, all of this is actually Su Yun's calculations, just to prepare for his own independence in the future.

Now the most depressed is Wang Lang, Handan City has been completely exposed in front of the Xuanhan army, and only the last line of defense of the high wall remains.

The atmosphere in the court was very depressing, although they still had 200,000 troops, they had no sense of security at all, and if they continued to be surrounded by Su Yun and Xie Gong, the situation would only become more and more unfavorable.

Most of the courtiers who followed Wang Lang were some people who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and they were all terrified when they saw that the 100,000 exile army would be finished in less than half a day.

"The Lord descends! Damn it! ā€

Wang Lang was angry and beheaded several ministers who advocated peace, and he had only been sitting in the dragon chair for a few months, and he would never be willing to fail.

"We have enough food and grass, and we are not afraid of consumption at all, as long as we drag them until they are exhausted, it is our chance to fight back!" He changed his calm expression, comforting the ministers and comforting himself.

Su Yun didn't have time to spend time with him, and within a few days, he sent some cavalry to run along the city wall of Handan, each with a quiver, and shot arrows tied with letterhead into the city from various positions.

This was the second step in his strategy to break the will of the defenders of the city.

The content on the letterhead is very simple, surrender the gun and don't kill, as long as you surrender, you can enjoy the high-ranking officials, the earlier the time, the higher the title, if you can offer the head of Wang Lang, you can even directly seal the marquis.

These letters soon spread throughout the city, most of them were recruited from all over the country, and their families were not in Handan, since the last time the exile army was dispersed, they were afraid of Xuanhan's methods, for fear that their families would also suffer because of this, and now the other party has made quite sincere conditions, which makes them moved.

This strategy is actually very simple, if the people defending the city are united, it will have no effect at all, but unfortunately Wang Lang's position is still short, and his prestige is limited to the strong and powerful who are attached to the upper echelons, and there is no centripetal force at all for the soldiers.

On the surface, no one mentioned the letterhead, but secretly they were afraid of being taken advantage of, and the letter said that the sooner they surrendered, the higher the reward.

For a while, everyone in Handan City had their own ghosts, and they no longer had the heart to practice.

Wang Lang also saw the letterhead, he was furious, ordered his soldiers to search everywhere, and sure enough, he found something in the hands of many generals, and suddenly there was a bloody storm in the city, and many people who only left letterheads and did not have actual ideas were also bad, and a large number of generals died in prison.

As a charlatan, Wang Lang has always been a skeptic, and he has no tolerance for people, all of which are counted by Su Yun to death.

The search backfired, and more and more soldiers began to waver.

Late at night on the third day, a force of more than a dozen people finally slipped out of Handan, and sure enough, they were rewarded by Su Yun's promise, and these people became typical, and they were quickly sent to the city gate to show up and speak, which made many people who were still hesitant regret not acting early.

So there was a strange scene in Handan City, during the day, everyone was tense, and the wall was confronted, but at night, there were deserters who climbed over the wall and went out of the city, some acted alone, and some formed groups.

Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill.

Wang Lang finally couldn't help it, he used various methods to prevent the soldiers from escaping, and even made the city wall brightly lit, but the effect was still not good, and even the soldiers who went to light the lights ran away.

The people in the court were panicked, and Wang Lang had to change his original idea of sticking to the consumption, and recruited Li Yu and Zhang Shen overnight.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's hard to hold on if you continue to hold on, we've lost thousands of soldiers in the past few days, and the morale of the army is even lower, and the consequences of dragging it out are unpredictable!" Li Yu wiped his sweat, he was ordered to patrol everywhere in the city in the past few days, and the situation was clear.

"What do you mean?" Wang Lang asked.

"Get out of town! Our forces are not much inferior to each other. "At the beginning, Zhang Shen made a lot of contributions to the extermination of the bandit army on Chengtouzi Road, and he was also very experienced in marching and fighting.

"How to fight?"

"Liu Xiu in the north is equal to our troops, and it is not easy to shake hard, and Xie Gong in the north only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, so it is better to attack this side." Zhang replied.

"Yes, as long as I can extinguish Xie Bow, my army's morale will definitely be greatly boosted, and when the time comes, whether it is offensive or defensive, I will be much calmer." Li Yu also agreed.

"Good!" Wang Lang quickly made up his mind, "Tomorrow you will go out of the city to fight Xie Gong!" However, for the sake of Liu Xiu, he couldn't relax and sent troops to prevent them from going south to rescue! ā€

What he didn't know was that Su Yun had expected this day a long time ago, so as soon as Zhao Hanjun left the city, he had already gone back to report to Su Yun.
