After agreeing on the punishment decision for Zhou Yu, Sun Ce looked around again, but saw that the Jiangdong soldiers marching around were all dragging weapons, and they looked dejected.

Obviously, tonight's defeat was a very big blow to the morale of the Jiangdong Army.

Today, the Jiangdong Army can really say that it has reached the end of the mountain.

Sun Ce said again: "Gongjin, will this war continue? ”

Sun Ce already had the idea of retiring from the army, and he didn't want to continue fighting this battle.

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, we have no way out, so this war must continue." ”

Sun Ce sighed and said: "But the problem is that all the strategies that can be used have been used, but none of them have worked, and now our army is sleepy and lacking to the extreme, and the siege equipment is also completely destroyed, what can I do?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu doesn't have to worry too much about siege equipment, half a month ago, I have ordered Lu Fan to step up the construction of more siege equipment, and this time it will definitely be transported with grain and grass." ”

Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu with some surprise when he heard this.

Half a month ago, that was before the Jiangdong Army set out.

In other words, the Jiangdong Army had not yet set out on the expedition, and Zhou Yu had already expected the current situation, so asking Lu Fan to build more equipment in advance really came in handy at this time.

However, the Battle of the Nest is not as effective as more siege engines.

Sun Ce also said: "Gongjian, even if Lu Fan brings more siege equipment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the enemy." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is true that Yuan is cunning. Far beyond what you and I imagined, to be honest, I thought I was high enough to look at Yuan No, but now. But I found that I still underestimated him before, if there is no surprise, it can be said that it is impossible for our army to capture the nest. ”

"Conspiracy?" Sun Ce said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's still a cheat!" ”

"Death? Or is it a bluff to death? Sun Ce put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile. Gong Zhen, the previous deception has been used to the extreme, and he has not been able to deceive Yuan No. Do you think you can fool Yuan this time? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and muttered: "Even such a subtle trick has not been able to deceive Yuan No'er, and if you set up a trick to deceive death, I'm afraid it won't be able to deceive Yuan No." It's just ......"

Sun Ce said, "But what? ”

Zhou Yu said: "But this time. What I want to deceive is not Yuan Weixiao'er, but the Jiangdong soldiers, or rather, not to deceive the Jiangdong soldiers, but to give them an excuse to take revenge. ”

"Huh?" Sun Ce was surprised and said, "It's the Jiangdong soldiers who are deceiving, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, the battle has been fought so far. Koto Erlang is already exhausted, and the military is thinking about it. If we can't give them enough stimulation to re-energize their fighting spirit, then this battle will not be fought, so we must give them a reason to continue this war. ”

Sun Ce said: "So you thought of cheating death again, and you want Jiangdong soldiers to avenge you and me?" ”

"No, no, this time Bo Fu you can't cheat death, if you cheat death, the damage to the army's heart is too great, this time you cheat death, I can only cheat death." Zhou Yu shook his head, his eyes slowly became cold and murderous, and then said in a low tone, "Announce my death, then raise the banner of revenge, and then slaughter the city!" ”

"Slaughtering the city?" Sun Ce's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean slaughtering the city?" ”

"That's right, slaughter the city!" Zhou Yu said ruthlessly, "Give Jiangdong children the greatest freedom!" ”

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu deeply, and he didn't say anything for a while, but he knew what Zhou Yu meant.

The so-called massacre of the city, killing people is certain, and will kill many, many people, after the city is broken, it is good that half of the soldiers and civilians in the city can survive, because after the order to slaughter the city is issued, the Jiangdong soldiers will kill the red eye, and even Sun Ce will not be able to stop them from committing murder at that time, unless the agreed deadline has arrived.

However, the slaughter of the city is not just a simple slaughter of the city.

The so-called massacre of the city, in addition to wanton killing, also means that all the items in the city will become spoils of war, the mansions, shops, gold and silver treasures, and even the female population in the city will become the spoils of the Jiangdong soldiers, as long as the city is broken, everything in the city will become the spoils of the Jiangdong soldiers, and whoever grabs it first will be whoever!

Obviously, revenge is just an excuse, but Zhou Yu's real intention is to slaughter the city!

What is Jiangdong Jian'er trying to fight as a soldier? In addition to supporting his family, he is to seal his wife and son, be promoted and make a fortune.

Feng Wife Shadow is too far away for the vast majority of low-level soldiers, so grabbing windfalls from the war has become the ultimate pursuit of the vast majority of low-level soldiers.

The exception to this is the slaughter of the city!

Under the order of the slaughter of the city, the soldiers of the three armies will be able to burn, kill, plunder, and do everything, as long as it is in the designated area, the property, population and manor property that you can loot will become your wealth, if you are lucky, when the massacre is over, the original nothing-owned big-headed soldiers can become nouveau riche with thousands of hectares of fertile land and beautiful wives!

It is precisely because of so many benefits of slaughtering the city that as long as Sun Ce gives the order to slaughter the city, the morale of the Jiangdong Army will immediately become unprecedentedly high, even higher than before the war! At that time, there was no need for Sun Ce to do any more pre-war mobilization, and the Jiangdong soldiers would rush to Juchao City and attack with their lives.

However, the slaughter of the city is a double-edged sword, which can kill the enemy as well as hurt oneself.

Sun Ce was a little hesitant, did he want to listen to Zhou Yu and sacrifice the desperate plan of slaughtering the city?

Dong Zhuo slaughtered the city in Gyeonggi continuously, and as a result, he attracted the princes of the world to crusade, and finally died tragically.

Because of Cao Cao's slaughter of the city, he has not been able to get rid of the infamy of brutality until now, and many scholars and celebrities will not hesitate to scold him as a traitor when they talk about Cao Cao!

If he, Sun Ce, also slaughtered Juchao City, would he also attract infamy?

"Gongjin, is it really feasible to slaughter the city?" Sun Ce was a little indecided, so he could only ask Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, although Dong Zhuo's slaughter of the city has caused the world to be infamous, it is also an indisputable fact that he has created an invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the world!" Even if the eighteen towns and the Kwantung princes work together to crusade, can't they help Dong Zhuo? In the end, if it weren't for Lu Bu's intentions, maybe Dong Zhuo would still be in Guanzhong now! ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu said again: "Let's talk about Cao Cao, after the eunuchs, but only three thousand soldiers, there will be no more than Xiahou, Cao surnamed and other Liao Liao brothers, but after the slaughter of the city in Xuzhou, Cao Cao immediately became the most powerful prince in the Central Plains, why?" Because of the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao actually used the blood of the people of Xuzhou to cast a division of tigers and wolves! ”

When Dong Zhuo just led the army into Luoyang City, due to the lack of troops, he had no choice but to use Li Ru's strategy, so that the sergeants would go out of the city at night and enter the city with great fanfare during the day, so as to create a false appearance of a large number of soldiers.

Cao Cao too, when the princes of the eighteen towns fought against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and when he was still leading the army to pursue Dong Zhuo, he was ambushed by the Xiliang army, and 3,000 people were killed to only a few hundred people, but after less than two years, Cao Cao became famous by virtue of the battle of Tu Xuzhou, not only the troops under his command increased greatly, but the combat effectiveness of the Cao army advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming the most brave and warlike army in the Central Plains, and Lu Bu, the unparalleled flying general, was also defeated!

The rest of Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Zhang Xiu and others are not worth mentioning at all.

Although Sun Ce was full of confidence in the Jiangdong Army under his command, if he wanted to talk about combat effectiveness, he knew that his Jiangdong Army was definitely inferior to Cao's army.

Zhou Yu said again: "Bo Fu, slaughtering the city is a double-edged sword, but if there is a choice, we will never make this decision, but now we have no other choice, if we choose to withdraw at this time, not only the reputation of the Sun family will be greatly damaged, but the foundation of Jiangdong may also be unstable, so we must win the battle of Juchao, and we must win it simply, beautifully, and win it is known to the world!" ”

Sun Ce was finally moved, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, my Sun clan has given the Lujiang clan enough sincerity, but they refuse to sacrifice the city, so don't blame my Sun clan for being polite!" Justice, it's up to you to slaughter the city! ”

Sun Ce called Lu Meng into the account again, and said: "Ziming, immediately go out of the army with all the cloths, create white flags and white robes, and wait for the whole army to wear linen and filial piety tomorrow, and avenge the princess!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Meng was surprised when he heard this, and avenged the governor? Governor is not standing here?

Zhou Yu glared at Lu Meng and reprimanded, "Ziming, what are you still doing in a daze?" Just go! ”

"Whoa!" Lu Meng shook his head and went in confusion. (To be continued......)
