Less than fifteen days after Kim Zhenglei's expedition to the north of the army drove out of Changning City, the three-way army has received good news that it has won three passes: General Zuojia, the vanguard of the left wing, has taken Tuqiao Pass! General You Yong, the vanguard of the right wing, has captured Shuangshui Pass! General Kim Jae-do, the vanguard of the front, has occupied the Golden Bull Pass!

Kim Jong-lei was very satisfied, and said happily: "Not bad, not bad." According to this progress www.biquge.info in less than three months, our army will be able to capture Yangzhou and capture the rebel puppet Emperor Chen Qushan. ”

Kim Jae-do, Zuo Jia, You Yong and other generals are all warriors with whom Kim Jong-lei has interacted for more than ten years, and now he has become a famous general of Chen Guo, all the way to conquer the pass, establish miraculous achievements, and remove obstacles to Kim Jong-lei's great cause of revenge.

In the next ten days, there was no good news, only news about the situation on the front. Through the reports of the spies, Kim Jong-lei knows the battle situation on the front line well:

After the three-way army captured several small cities one after another, they joined forces under the city of Pingzhou. Pingzhou City was the first big city for the army to enter the puppet North Chen. The Pingzhou city guard is called Bohu, who is the former commander of the East Palace Praetorian Guard, and now the official worships the post of Pingzhou Assassin. This person is brave and good at fighting, and has the courage to be unstoppable.

The front is the vanguard of General Kim Zaidao first arrived under the city of Pingzhou, the enemy general Bohu switched to fight, the two fought for 30 rounds, Jin Zaidao gradually couldn't resist, was cut off by Bohu's feet, fell to the ground, Bohu wanted to make up for a knife as a result of his life, fortunately General Zuojia arrived in time, rescued General Jin Zaidao from under the knife of Bohu, General Zuojia and Bohu fought about 20 rounds, and it was not the opponent of that Bohu, so he fought and retreated, and withdrew to the camp.

After listening to the report of the spies, Kim Jonglei's two sword eyebrows were twisted into a knotted rope, and two deep grooves were squeezed out of the middle of his forehead, and he thought worriedly: "I can't take a small Pingzhou city, how can I take Yangzhou?" "Then he ordered the army to speed up and march towards Pingzhou City...

After the army had been marching for two days, a spy came to Pegasus, and immediately shouted from a stone's throw away: "Marshal! Our army has taken Pingzhou City! ”

When Jin Zhenglei heard the good news, he hurriedly reined in his war horse, his gloomy face suddenly became much brighter, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me more details!" ”

The spy recounted the battle situation on the front line at that time in a rapid tone, and said: "The three vanguard officers met together, and after discussion, they decided to adopt a feint strategy, lead Bohu into an ambush circle to ambush, and then take Pingzhou City while he was unprepared. But... During the ambush battle, General You Yong pursued Bohu who wanted to escape, and was killed by Bohu back to the horse, and the Bohu escaped from the ambush circle alone. . . ”

"Huh?" When Kim Jong-lei heard that General You Yong had died on the battlefield, his eyebrows were immediately locked, his eyes were dark, and his face was cloudy, and he sighed and looked at the mountain in front of him in a daze...

Two days later, the army marched into the city of Pingzhou. Here, Kim Jong Lei held a solemn memorial ceremony for General You Yong and the other 7,491 officers and men who died in battle, and personally wrote an edict to commemorate the merits of the deceased soldiers.

The next day, an emergency military meeting was held in the Pingzhou Assassin's Mansion, and a long table was flanked by dozens of generals. Jin Zhenglei propped his hands on the long case, his eyes were full of tears, he slowly glanced at the faces of the generals, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he choked word by word: "It makes me sad to kill and injure such a soldier in a Pingzhou city!" Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it, is there any good way to reduce the number of deaths in the siege field battle? ‘

"War is not child's play, how can you not die?" General Zuojia smiled dumbly.

"Kill 1,000 enemies, injure yourself 800! War has been like this since ancient times! Nangong spread out his hands and shook his head.

"If you want not to die, unless you don't fight, you will inevitably die if you fight!" Kim Jae-do shrugged his shoulders and said.

Kim Jong-lei listened and nodded silently, he also knew in his heart that how could he not die in a war? As the saying goes, one will make ten thousand bones dry! The merits of those generals were achieved by stepping on a lot of bones. The reason why he said this was just to let his subordinates know that he had a heart that loved soldiers like a son. Seeing that everyone had no good advice, he shook his head and sighed: "Ben Shuai didn't say that there were no dead people, he just wanted to have as few dead people as possible. I wonder what the generals think? ”

When the generals saw the marshal say this, they all shook their heads speechlessly, and turned their eyes to Song Qi who was sitting at the end of the seat.

Since the expedition, Song Qi has joined the army, Ling Xue has served as the Chinese army, and they have both attended important military meetings.

Everyone has nothing to say about Ling Xue's appointment as the Chinese army, after all, she is Ling Helai's daughter, it can be said that the current emperor can ascend the throne, and now the marshal can sit in the throne, all thanks to Ling Helai's successful assassination, which everyone knows.

But for Song Qiren to join the army, there are many people who are not convinced, and even have complaints behind their backs. Song Qinai is a cloth cloth and a cold soldier, who has just arrived, has not made an inch, and is suddenly promoted to join the army, and every time he attends important military meetings, he is on an equal footing with them who have made contributions to a hundred battles, isn't it infuriating. They can't make irresponsible remarks about the marshal's arrangement, but they can secretly resist Song Qi and make him ugly.

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Song Qi. They wanted to see what virtue this Song Qi had to occupy the position of joining the army.

Jin Zhenglei's gaze also followed everyone's gaze, turned to Song Qi and Ling Xue, who were sitting in the back row of the conference table, and asked, "Ling Zhongjun, Song joined the army, I don't know what you think about this siege?" ”

Song Qi was very excited to participate in such an important military meeting for the first time in his life, and he had always listened quietly without saying a word. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, his heart suddenly became nervous, and his face turned red to the base of his neck.

Seeing that the marshal asked his opinion, he knew that he couldn't say it, so he hurriedly took a deep breath, settled his panicked mind, stood up on the ground, and slowly scanned the audience, in the process of scanning the audience, he quickly sorted out the thoughts in his mind. Song Qi read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was familiar with the strategies in the Three Kingdoms, and knew the 36 strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War well, and it would not be difficult for him to come up with one or two strategies.

He bowed his hand to Jin Zhenglei and said with a slight smile: "The marshal has the virtue of a good life, which is the great luck of the soldiers of our army and the people of Chen State. The art of war says, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom. The subordinates felt that it was better to take the method of attacking the heart. ”

After Song Qi said this, he immediately thought that this idea had been mentioned by Ma Tan of the Lost Street Pavilion, and his heart jumped, and he secretly wondered: "What's the matter with me!" I am familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Thirty-six Strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War, why did I talk about the idea of Ma Yan, who I despise the most? Am I also a person who exaggerates his words? ”

Thinking of this, Song Qi felt very uncomfortable, peeking around, but fortunately no one noticed these details.

Ling Xue beside him got up and said, "I agree with the method of attacking the heart that Song Shenjun said!" After all, the military and civilians of the Northern Chen Kingdom were originally the military and civilians of our Great Chen Kingdom, as long as we make sense of it and move it with emotion, I think the military and civilians of the Northern Chen Kingdom will definitely turn to support us. ”

Jin Zhenglei bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and asked Song Qi: "The method of attacking the heart?" I don't know how to attack the heart? ”

Song Qi was about to get up and answer, when suddenly a voice said with a smile: "Marshal, persuasion is the method of attacking the heart." The subordinates felt that it was better to distribute a letter of persuasion to the enemy city and let the enemy take the initiative to open the city to surrender, so that the soldiers could enter the city without blood. Song Qi followed the prestige, and it turned out that it was Cen Ying, the chief bookkeeper who was sitting on the left, who was around forty years old, with an amiable face, and a glimmer of light in his eyes.

When Jin Zhenglei heard this, he nodded frequently, then turned his head to Cen Ying and said, "Mr. Cen Ying, you will draft a letter of persuasion to surrender and urgently send it to the general in front." Let them do as they are told, first persuade them to surrender, and then attack the city. ”

Before receiving Marshal Kim's order to "persuade surrender first, then attack the city", Kim Jae-dao and Zuojia captured two small cities between Pingzhou and Lianzhou, but their men also suffered hundreds of casualties. When they came to the third small city, they received the latest instructions from the marshal, and according to the instructions, they first copied dozens of copies of the letter of surrender, tied them to arrows, and shot them into the city.

The letter of persuasion reads: "The pseudo-rebellious Chen went to the mountain and rebelled, his father died and was not buried, and he left the forbidden palace without permission, and he was extremely unfilial." For his own selfishness, he ignored the people of the world, divided Da Chen, vainly claimed to be the country, and caused a war. At the behest of the emperor and entrusted by the dawn of the people of the world, Kim Zhenglei, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, commanded 100,000 kings to quell the traitors. The king is everywhere, the city is safe, and the stubborn resistance is dangerous. Those who descend will not die, and those who rebel will be punished. Don't say it unpredictably. "Yunyun.

As Cen Ying expected, the next guard of the small city took the initiative to surrender, and although the guard of the next small city did not surrender, he was tied up by his soldiers to surrender.

Seeing that the soldiers were bloodless, they took down two small cities in a row, although they were only two small cities, it was also quite a big progress. Jin Zhenglei couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and said: "It seems that the power of this persuasion letter is still quite small, and it can really be said that a few words can be worth tens of thousands of teachers!" He immediately rewarded Cen Ying with fifty taels of gold in court...
