54 round: Attack the heart first
When Gao Yun rescued Zhuojun, Liu Bei was still a small county official, and he became the Sima of Zhuojun in just a few months, which is indeed a bit fast. However, Gao Yun was not surprised, with his understanding of Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei met the right person, this change would not be surprising.
In fact, Liu Bei's official was really not sealed by Zou Jing, but by Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou. Zhuojun was protected by Gao Yun, and Zou Jing also had a good impression of Liu Bei, and he also took Liu Bei with him when he had something. In this way, at a meeting, Liu Bei had the opportunity to expound some views, which happened to be heard by Liu Yan and felt that Liu Bei was a malleable talent, so he personally appointed Liu Bei as the Sima of Zhuojun, still on an errand under Zou Jing.
Liu Bei knew Gao Yun very well, knew that Gao Yun was resourceful, and his plan to break the enemy must have been well understood. So when Gao Yun asked them how to break the enemy, Liu Bei didn't say a word. He knew that what he said was in vain, and if he didn't do it, he would make Gao Yun unhappy.
Sun Jian is a straightforward person, listening to Gao Yun's question, he immediately replied: "General, the art of war is cloud, 'the soldiers are doubled, the enemy is outnumbered, and now our army is numerous, and the enemy is outnumbered, so I think it can inspire the soldiers, attack from all sides, and the giant deer can go down with a drum!" ”
Gao Yunxin said: "This Sun Jian is really as imagined in the book, dare to fight and rush, and have a hot temper", but he didn't show it on his face, but nodded with a very positive expression.
Turning his face and asking Cao Cao again, "What does Meng De think?" ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said: "What Wentai said is quite reasonable, but if you attack from all sides, the thieves will have no way to retreat, and they will definitely defend the city desperately, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to me." There is a way to break the thief soldiers, and I want to ask the general to decide."
"Oh?" Gao Yun smiled and said, "Meng De, please speak."
"Yes", Cao Cao bowed again: "The west of Julu City is a water, and the river is quite fast. You can first detain the boats of the fishermen on the river bank, gather on the east bank, chisel the bottom of the boat, plug the loopholes with wooden planks, and then hide wooden stakes at the bottom of the river, and tie ropes to the wooden stakes, so that the other end of the rope is tied to the wooden planks at the bottom of the boat. After the settlement is properly settled, we can attack the city on the east, south and north, leaving the west gate and the thieves to flee. But I laid an ambush on the bank of the river, and when the thieves fled to the river, I set up an ambush. When the thieves saw that there was a boat on the riverbank, they would inevitably get on the boat and flee, and pull the rope at the bottom of the river, and the planks would naturally fall off, and the boat would inevitably sink if it leaked. If our army fires thousands of arrows by the river, the thieves will die in the river. If so, let the general decide."
"Meng De is so resourceful!" Gao Yun's praise was not deliberately praising Cao Cao, but from the heart. The tactics of attacking the city on three sides and ambushing troops on one side are not surprising. But Cao Cao is absolutely not in this method of using boats, Gao Yun can't help but secretly think: "It seems that this Cao Cao is genuine, not only is he clever in using soldiers, but he is also ruthless."
Although Cao Cao's plan was indeed quite clever, Gao Yun did not intend to use his strategy, because Gao Yun still tried his best to give those Yellow Turban soldiers a way to live. Through the understanding of previous prisoners of war, Gao Yun knew that most of these Yellow Turban Army rebellions were just to have something to eat and survive. This is just the most basic need of people, and in the final analysis, the fault lies in the emperors of these two dynasties, so Gao Yun can still kill one less for the Yellow Turban Army.
Although he didn't plan to use Cao Cao's strategy, Gao Yun didn't want to refute Cao Cao's face, and said with a smile: "Although Meng De's plan is high, the giant deer is in turmoil one after another, and the people are ten households and nine empty, where are there fishing boats." The art of war has a cloud of 'on the army to plan, then to fight, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city', now the morale of the giant deer thief has fallen, the combat strength has been exhausted, the grain and grass have been exhausted, and they all know that there is no chance of winning, and this is using a strange opportunity. Bengong wants to use Feishu to announce the city, as long as he is willing to abandon evil and follow good, the subordinate thieves will spare his life, and only punish Zhang Jiao and other first evildoers. This heart-attacking technique, if it can make the thieves naturally disintegrate, then save the strength of our army, why not care? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked, and said secretly: "Although this person's method seems to be mediocre, it is deeply important in the art of war, and it is a plan to defeat the enemy." I thought only about the best way to fight, but now I am a little inferior to this man......
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "The general has a way to use soldiers, and he can't be ashamed."
Liu Bei and Sun Jian also followed suit and said yes again and again.
Gao Yun gave in again, and asked the left and right to arrange for the three of them to rest first.
The next day, Gao Yun drafted a proclamation and ordered the military scribes to copy a thousand copies, tie them to arrows, and shoot them all into the city.
Zhang Jiao was bedridden for many days, and at this time, everyone in Julu City was already panicked and uneasy, and they all knew that they were in a desperate situation. When I suddenly saw the arrow book, I suddenly felt that there was hope for life again.
"Hey, brother, did you see it, the general said that as long as you surrender, you can live!" A golden soldier whispered to his companion.
"Be quiet, don't let people hear it, let's sneak out at night." Another Yellow Turban soldier whispered back.
"Big brother, you can also take me, I don't want to die here, take me and run away." A yellow turban soldier in the back heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly leaned over and pleaded in a low voice.
More than 1,000 arrow books were shot into the city, and the whole Yellow Turban Army knew the news in an instant. At this time, they no longer care about whether what is said in the exploration book is true or false, anyway, staying in the city is certain to die, and there is always a chance to escape from it.
The Yellow Turban Army General also picked up the arrow book, and knew that the situation was serious, so he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to report it to Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao looked at it, was shocked, and then vomited blood and fainted. Now that there is no backbone, the leaders of the yellow turbans are even more panicked, and they don't know how to deal with it.
That night, there were constant figures on the four walls of the giant deer, and the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army ran away more than 20,000 overnight. Gao Yun had already arranged for his men and horses to intercept them around, capture all these escaped Yellow Turban Army, and imprison them in Pingxiang City.
The next day, Zhang Jiao woke up from a coma, and the Yellow Turban thieves would hurriedly report to Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao listened, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with regret: "Gao Yun has the essence of the art of war, I am far from being an opponent, now the general trend has gone, you all escape...... Said to die in bed.
When the thieves saw that Zhang Jiao was dead, they panicked even more, and after thinking for a long time, the general Han Xian said: "Now that the 'Huwei Army' has besieged the city on all sides, if we want to live, there is only one way to do."
The thief general Yang Feng and the others hurriedly asked, "General Han has any clever plan to save our lives?" Please come soon! ”
Han Xian said: "Now Gao Yun's proclamation only forgives the thief, not the main culprit, if we go out of the city like this, we will inevitably die." Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, I might as well cut off his head and dedicate it to Gao Yun, or I can atone for my crimes."
When the thieves heard this, they looked at each other and said nothing. I want to agree, but I don't think it's righteous; If you don't agree, no one wants to die. So no one spoke first, they all waited for others to agree first, and they agreed with each other, as if they were kinder than others.
After a long time, Yang Feng said: "The matter has come to this point, and it is not allowed to be like this, save your life, and you may be able to avenge your mentor in the future, and this is also the way of loyalty!" ”
As soon as the thieves heard that Yang Fengxian agreed, and they all found such a high-sounding excuse, they all echoed together, and none of them disagreed, this is human nature.
Under the pretext of revenge in the future, the thieves will cut off the head of Zhang Jiao and put it in a box. led the remaining thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, opened the door and asked to surrender.
Although Gao Yun is smart, it is impossible to know how Zhang Jiao died. Han Xian and the others were in unison, and they all said that when Zhang Jiao was asleep, everyone killed Zhang Jiao together.
Gao Yun couldn't think about it, so he had to order someone to lock up these yellow turbans first, write a battle table and ask the court for instructions on how to deal with these people.
As soon as Emperor Ling heard that Zhang Jiao was dead and the Yellow Turban Rebellion had subsided, he was overjoyed, and his mood was naturally very good.
Gao Yun saw the holy decree, although it was not the result he wanted, but he had no choice but to follow the script, and sent someone to escort these thieves to the imperial court to be sealed.
Since the Yellow Turban Army has been exterminated, the task of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian has been completed, and they immediately bid farewell to Gao Yun and led their men and horses back.
Because the takeover officials sent by the imperial court had not yet arrived, Gao Yun could not evacuate, so he sent his men and horses to Julu and Pingxiang to rest temporarily, and also repair the city damaged by the war.
In this battle, the total number of participants of the Yellow Turban Army was 160,000, except for those who died on the battlefield and ran away halfway, they were all locked up by Gao Yun in Pingxiang City, a total of more than 70,000 people. Fortunately, Zhang gave Gao Yun the right to mobilize the grain and grass in various parts of the war zone at will, otherwise these prisoners of war alone would have to eat Gao Yun poor.
Gao Yun had already said that he was not to blame for these surrendered Yellow Turban Army. Now that the war is over, Gao Yun naturally has to fulfill his promise to release the prisoners of war. Of course, co-optation is essential.
In fact, the days of these Yellow Turban soldiers in the prisoner of war camp can be said to be the most comfortable days they lived, and their rebellion itself was just to have something to eat, but following Zhang Jiao did not let them eat enough. After being captured by Gao Yun, they were able to eat three meals a day, and they all felt that the people of the "Huwei Army" were too happy, and as soon as they heard that they could voluntarily join the "Huwei Army", they all rushed to stay.
Gao Yun asked Guan Yu to select 16,000 people from the more than 70,000 captives to be recruited into the army according to the review standards, and the rest were released on the spot. Fifty or sixty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers reluctantly left the prisoner of war camp one by one-
