In just one day, Plains City has changed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people in the streets and alleys were all talking about the news that 'King Jing came and didn't pay for food', and they were quite moved.

People's hearts are fluctuating and restless.

When rumors spread in the city, there were troops outside the city to surrender, which caused Liu Bei's soldiers' morale to also begin to turmoil.

Yuan Shao arranged 6,000 elites to Liu Bei, this group of soldiers was not from Pingyuan County, and the impact was not great. But the rest of the soldiers were recruited from the city, and the families of the soldiers were all in the city.

When the family is affected, the soldiers are naturally affected.

Liu Bei saw that the people's hearts were unstable and the army's hearts were turbulent, so he was anxious and hurriedly came to Tian Feng to discuss.

Prime Minister's Office.

Liu Bei and Tian Feng sat down.

Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Mr. Yuan Hao, Liu Xuan asked people to spread rumors and make trouble in the city, and let the soldiers shout and surrender outside the city, which shook the hearts of the people and the army. The situation is urgent, what is the solution for the sir? ”

In Liu Bei's opinion, this is a difficult thing.

Rao is Liu Bei has prestige among the people, but when disaster comes, it is impossible for the people to stand on his side.

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Xuande Gong, this matter is actually not difficult to solve. ”

Liu Bei perked up and hurriedly said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

Tian Feng stroked the beard under his chin and said slowly: "To solve this matter, you have to prepare with both hands, pull it with one hand, and suppress it with the other." ”

"Pingyuan County is besieged by Liu Xuan, and in the future, there will be no taxes or anything like that. Therefore, the Duke of Xuande could put up a notice to inform the people in the city that they would be exempted from paying taxes for the next year. ”

"This move is to win over the people."

"In terms of grassroots generals and officials in the city, it was promised that as long as Liu Xuan was blocked, once Liu Xuan retreated, after Xuande Gong recaptured the Plains Kingdom, he would promote them and arrange them to take important positions in the counties of the Plains Country."

"This move is a woo to officials and generals."

Tian Feng looked confident and said calmly: "With co-optation, there must be suppression." ”

"Xuan Degong selected a few people from the prison who committed the most heinous crimes, and directly beheaded them, claiming that they were disturbing the people's hearts and that their crimes should be punished. Through this matter, kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey. ”

"As long as the officials and generals are tied up with interests, the generals will be loyal, and the officials will serve the dead."

Tian Feng's eyes were confident, and he said: "With the co-optation of interests and the strong suppression, the matter of Plains City will naturally be resolved." ”

Liu Bei had a smile on his face and arched his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan Hao!" ”

Tian Feng waved his hand and said, "Xuande Gong should prepare early." ”

"Please!"

Liu Bei stood up, then turned around and went down to arrange.

Immediately, Liu Bei went to the military camp to gather the generals under his command.

According to Tian Feng's strategy, Liu Bei first won over the generals under his command, promised heavy profits, and let the generals under his command make every effort to stabilize the morale of the army. stabilized the generals in the army, Liu Bei summoned the officials of Pingyuan County, drew a scoop with a gourd, and once again pulled the officials together, so that the officials could stabilize the people's hearts.

After doing all this, Liu Bei returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

With the full cooperation of the generals in the army and the officials of Plains City, the situation was gradually brought under control. Of course, in this process, whether it is in the army or among the people, some people have been pulled out and killed to set an example.

The situation in the city was brought under control, and Liu Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xuan, who was outside the city, had been busy preparing an offensive strategy against Pingyuan County.

On this day, Jia Xu came to the camp.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Your Highness! ”

Liu Xuan said: "Mr. Wenhe, what are the actions in the city?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "According to the news from the city, the floating morale of the people and the army has stabilized. Through the message of Jinyiwei, the identity of the strategist around Liu Bei was also determined, and this person was Yuan Shao's strategist Tian Feng. ”

"Tian Feng?"

Liu Xuan was very stunned and said: "Tian Feng is a person with outstanding ability and extraordinary talent. Yuan Shao left Tian Feng, didn't he know that once Pingyuan City fell, Tian Feng would also be in danger? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness thinks that Tian Feng is talented, but in Yuan Shao's eyes, maybe Tian Feng is not so important. ”

Liu Xuan nodded, no longer dwelling on this matter, and asked, "How did Tian Feng deal with it?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "Tian Feng asked Liu Bei to win over the officials and generals in the city, saying that as long as the county seat is held, and when the plain country is recaptured, they will be entrusted with important tasks and arranged to take important positions in various counties. The taxes of the people of Plains City have also been exempted. In addition, Liu Bei pulled out a batch of typical killings, which shocked people's hearts. ”

Liu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he sighed: "Knocking and pulling, use both hands, this hand is clever." ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, the old man has thought of a strategy to break the city. ”

Liu Xuan said: "What does Mr. think? ”

Liu Xuan has been pondering the strategy of breaking the city, but there is no suitable way.

In the face of a fortified city like Pingyuan City, if Liu Xuan ordered his soldiers to attack, the losses would inevitably be heavy. Under such circumstances, even if Liu Xuan captured Pingyuan County, it would not be conducive to the next arrangement.

Therefore, Liu Xuan has not failed to adopt a strategy of attacking.

Jia Xu replied: "The old man's method is the strategy of flooding. ”

"How?" Liu Xuan asked.

It is not an easy task to adopt the strategy of flooding, which requires too many external conditions to cooperate. In particular, flooding a city is even more difficult.

Without waiting for Jia Xu to speak, Liu Xuan said: "I'll call my brother here and discuss it together." ”

Immediately, Liu Xuan sent someone to invite Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia sat down, Jia Xu said: "The old man visited the surrounding areas of the county, and while checking the terrain, he asked the old farmers around who were familiar with the celestial phenomena, and learned that there will be continuous autumn rain in the future. ”

"The old man's strategy is made by this."

"First, His Highness shall give money and food as a reward for recruiting ......; Second ,......"

"As long as the plan is implemented, Liu Bei will not be able to reverse it. What Liu Bei can do is either go out of the city to start a war, or trap the city. But once Liu Bei goes out of the city, he will inevitably be defeated. ”

"So Liu Bei's only choice is to watch the plan go ahead."

Jia Xu's eyes were sharp, and he said: "There is no suspense in this battle. ”

After thinking about it, Guo Jia looked approving and said, "According to the celestial phenomena, there will indeed be heavy rain recently. It's just that this strategy of Jia Junshi will consume countless money and food. ”

Liu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I can take Pingyuan City without spending a single soldier." This battle is worth it. As for the food and money that is lost, it is not a problem. ”

Guo Jia said: "Your Highness is reasonable. ”

Although Guo Jia agreed with Jia Xu's plan, he still felt that the plan was too vicious. But at present, Liu Bei stubbornly resisted, and there was no other way but to take the strategy of flooding.

Liu Xuan called Tai Shici and quickly arranged it.

The order was delivered, and the soldiers in the army quickly moved into action and began to carry out Jia Xu's plan.
