Liu Ze said bluntly: "For the fighters, the heart is the top, the siege is the bottom, the current Guangzong Yellow Turban Army, are all farmers in the counties of Hebei, and now the counties of Jizhou have been recovered, the families and parents of the Yellow Turban soldiers are mostly under the jurisdiction of the court, and the hearts of the people are flesh and blood, and there are a few sons who are not homesick. In the past, Gaozu surrounded Xiang Yu under the wall, and played Chu songs on all sides, and the warriors of a hundred battles under the overlord of Western Chu were all in tears, and the army was discouraged and had no fighting spirit, and Xiang Yu was finally unable to return to the sky, and killed himself in Wujiang. Today, Zhang Jiao is trapped in a lonely city, and there are probably not many Yellow Turban soldiers who are determined to live and die with Guangzong, and more Yellow Turban soldiers are forced to get into the chariot by Zhang Jiao, if we can move it with affection, know it with reason, shout the slogan that the first evil will be punished, and threaten never to ask, I believe that many Yellow Turban soldiers who are unwilling to work for Zhang Jiao will lay down their arms and surrender to Cheng, on the contrary, if our army still consistently adheres to the policy of strict punishment and no loans, the thieves are afraid of death, and it is better to fight to the death than to be killed after being captured, and then live. Therefore, the last general thought that it was not difficult to capture Guangzong, as long as it could break the fighting spirit of the thieves and shake the determination of the defenders, the city could be broken immediately. ”

Huangfu Song nodded silently and said: "What Runde said is very true, when I was in the Changshe before, Runde advised me not to kill prisoners without permission, and I also said that this is the kindness of women, it seems that I am really wrong." ”

Liu Zedao: "The slaughter of prisoners of war is originally a double-edged sword, although it can make the thieves fearful, but it is the retreat of the thieves. In order to survive, no one will give up easily, hundreds of thousands of people are fighting to the death, if you really want to take Guangzong, it is not an easy task. ”

Huangfu Song groaned and said loudly: "Pass my military order." Except for Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and other Yellow Turban thieves, anyone who takes the initiative to lay down his arms and surrender to sincerity will be spared death! Whoever defects and captures the head of the thief will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. The Chinese officer took the order and posted a notice, believing that it would not be long before the news spread throughout the city of Guangzong and outside the city.

Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed: "Runde's plan is very good, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are the best plan." ”

Liu Ze smiled and said nothing. There are many famous generals present. Looking at the history of modern warfare, Jiang Ze's army of 8 million was not defeated by Mao Weiren's ideological and political work.

The days that followed. The officers and soldiers besieged the city of Gwangjong but did not attack it. A number of loud soldiers were sent to shout at the city - the first evil will be punished. Threaten never asked, surrendered to avoid death, and was rewarded for meritorious service. A number of archers were also sent. And he wrapped the proclamation with these words in it and shot it into the city. Huangfu Song also sent people to nearby counties to invite the families of the Yellow Turban soldiers and shouted under the city, persuading their relatives to lay down their arms and go out of the city to surrender.

Among these people were the gray-haired old men, the middle-aged women in cloth clothes, and the swaddling babies who were waiting to be fed.

"San'er, don't sell your life to the traitor anymore, as long as you lay down your arms, the court will pardon your innocence."

"Little four, go home, the fields at home are deserted, and if you don't come back, your father and mother will starve to death."

"Daddy, why are you so ruthless, it's been more than two years since you left, how can you live for the two of us?"

“……”

The shouts under the city came and went, the yellow turban soldiers in the city were full of cows, and the people under the city, many of them were their relatives, across the city wall, close to the end of the world, but they could not see each other, and they couldn't help but be sad and indignant. Even if there are no relatives here, how can this situation not be moving, thinking about their relatives, life and death, there is no news, and many Yellow Turban soldiers are crying silently.

Zhang Bao was patrolling the city at this time, and when he saw this, he was furious, and while shouting and reprimanding the Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city, he asked for a bow from his own soldiers, and shot at the city with a bow and arrows. I don't know if Zhang Bao was superb in archery or by mistake, this arrow was impartial and hit the throat of a white-haired old woman, and she died of exhaustion.

The arrow caused a great deal of panic in the city, and the common people, seeing the sight of the human life, retreated in fright, and ignored the screams of exhaustion.

Zhang Bao was a little proud, and said contemptuously: "A group of Diao people! ”

Just as he was about to put away his bow, there was a terrible cry from beside him: "Mother-" A Yellow Turban soldier threw himself on the battlements, leaned out, and shouted eagerly, if it were not for the other people around him, he would have jumped off the wall. Then he turned around angrily and glared angrily at Zhang Bao, and two sharp cold rays pierced Zhang Bao's heart.

Zhang Baowan didn't expect a small soldier to glare at him with such a hateful gaze, and he was flustered for a moment and took a few steps back, but he immediately calmed down and shouted: "Bold!" Dare to be rude to this general, and still don't retreat! ”

The little soldier did not have half a fear, and suddenly took a step closer, and a hoarse roar came out of his throat: "Give back my mother's life!" ”

Zhang Bao shuddered, took a few steps back, and shouted, "Stand down!" Retire! Someone, take him down! The subordinates who usually listen to their words are indifferent at the moment, and no matter how Zhang Bao shouts, no one pays attention. Zhang Bao was so angry that he pulled out a waist knife from the body of a Yellow Turban soldier and stabbed the little soldier in the chest and abdomen.

The little soldier didn't dodge or dodge, allowing the sharp tip of the knife to pierce his lower abdomen, his blood-red eyes stared at Zhang Bao deadly, and roared: "Give back my mother's life-" and finally fell to the ground in anger, but he still didn't bat at him, staring straight at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead, but felt a chill in his heart, looked around, but saw the Yellow Turban soldiers glaring at him with the same eyes, Zhang Bao could see the resentment of these soldiers from this look. Zhang Bao stepped back again and again, muttering to himself: "It's the opposite! It's the other way around! Then he ran away, and fled in a hurry from this place of right and wrong.

In the next few days, the Yellow Turban soldiers in Guangzong City fled, and at first it was still an individual act, and a very small number of war-weary Yellow Turban soldiers fled from Guangzong City at night to surrender to the officers and soldiers outside the city. Huangfu Song did what he said, and these Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered to Cheng were treated favorably by the officers and soldiers, and they received the money to go home and left Guangzong. When the news spread, the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still holding a wait-and-see attitude no longer hesitated, and at first fled in groups of three or five people, and later, the entire battalion of Yellow Turban soldiers collectively surrendered to the officers and men. The people in Guangzong City were panicked, and most of the Yellow Turban soldiers who fled in the early stage were recruits who had just joined the Yellow Turban Army, and later many of Zhang Jiao's elite main Yellow Turban wrestlers also fled.

Zhang Bao was furious, he personally served as an inspector, but anyone who found someone fleeing from the city would be killed. But the military spirit in Guangzong City has long been dissipated, and how can Zhang Bao's wanton killing be irreparable, Guangzong is surrounded, the general trend of the Yellow Turban has gone, except for those who are loyal to Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban soldiers who don't want to die are naturally unwilling to give their lives to the Zhang brothers anymore.

Originally, according to the consistent policy of the officers and men, all those who rebelled were beheaded, and once they joined the Yellow Turban, there was no way out, and if they were victorious, they would live, and if they were defeated, they would die, and they would force all the people to Zhang Jiao's ship. But now it is different, and the policy of the officers and men has given the green light, as if they are in the middle of a vast ocean, and people who are always in danger of capsizing suddenly see the land, how can they not be rejoiced. Although the upper echelons of the Yellow Turban Army used iron-fisted repression against the fleeing soldiers, catching and executing one by one, the trend of fleeing not only did not prohibit executions, but also intensified. The more daring ones assassinated the Yellow Turban leaders and went out of the city to surrender, and without exception, they were all rewarded by Huangfu Song. Sima Ju lost his head in a daze under this circumstance.

Seeing that the rebellion was leaving, and the general trend was about to go, Zhang Bao was unable to support himself alone, so he ran to discuss with Zhang Jiao about the way out. Zhang Jiao is still an elegant scribe, calm and relaxed.

Zhang Bao hurriedly said: "Big brother, the big thing is not good, now there are many people fleeing in the army, and the army's hearts are scattered, I'm afraid it won't last long." ”

Zhang Jiao sighed lightly and said, "God doesn't bless me, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Bao said angrily: "I can't imagine that the old thief of Huangfu is so vicious, and he thinks of such a vicious plan to divide the soldiers of our army, otherwise we are all united, and how can Guangzong fall lightly." ”

Zhang Jiao's face sank like water, the ancient well had no waves, and said lightly: "Guangzong City is broken, that is, it will happen in the next two days, Zhang Bao, without further ado, immediately implement the 'Tianfu Plan'." ”

Zhang Bao said unwillingly: "Big brother, Guangzong City is our birthplace, is it difficult to give up like this?" What's more, we still have tens of thousands of Yellow Turban wrestlers, even if we fight to the death, we can't let the old thief of Huangfu take Guangzong!. ”

Zhang Jiao didn't raise his eyelids, and said indifferently: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, since the general trend has gone, there is no point in sticking to Guangzong, pass the order, and immediately implement the 'Tianfu Plan', there must be no mistakes!" ”

Zhang Bao sighed and retreated helplessly.

Huangfu Song has completed the final deployment of the siege, Liu Yu will lead the army to attack the north gate, Zheng Tai will lead the army to attack the east gate, the south gate will be the main attack by Cao Cao, and Huang Fu Song will lead the main force of officers and soldiers to complete the final blow to the west gate. At this moment, the defected Yellow Turban soldiers brought a heavy news that Dewey, the Yellow Turban general guarding the West Gate, was willing to sacrifice the city gate to surrender to the officers and soldiers.

This is good news, if there are guards who surrender the city, the officers and soldiers can attack Guangzong City without blood. Hearing this news, all the generals were overjoyed, and they couldn't imagine that the development of the battle situation could be so smooth, as long as Guangzong was taken, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be completely ended.
