Chapter 542: Turning Point

"Kill, kill, kill and die with Nandun!" The entire Yuzhou defenders on Nandun City burst out with their amazing combat effectiveness, shouting one by one as countless arrows rain on the city wall galloped down.

"Crazy, crazy!" Zhang Liao and the others have finally seen the power of people's hearts, or the power of rumors, and the defenders and those people on the entire Nandun city wall have been completely brainwashed by Liu Bei.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of people in Nandun came from Xuzhou, and they had long been dead set on Liu Bei, and the first person Guan Yu was willing to borrow was them, originally because Liu Bei did not return the people's grain and grass, the people may still be a little hesitant, but now Liu Bei has received Cao Cao's support to return the people's grain and grass, and this time the people are more and more desperate to Liu Bei.

As soon as Liu Bei said that the Yangzhou army would slaughter the city, he immediately went crazy, and above the city, Zhang Liao and others saw a lot of people who were not wearing armor walking around the city, and they were all spontaneous.

"Rush again," Lu Bu, the boss of the city's commander's camp, rarely appeared in the camp.

Because Nandun can't be taken, then it is difficult to march into Runan, after all, the grain and grass can not be broken, and the current Nandun is like a nail nailed in front of the Yangzhou army.

With 70,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Lu Bu didn't have much to do with this Nandun.

"Lord, this is already the third wave of rushing to the city," the Yangzhou army had a wave of 5,000 people, and there were more than 1,000 dead and wounded. Even a few of the soldiers who had been in charge of the city were killed. But they were all in vain, and they were not able to storm the city.

Rush again! Lu Bu looked at Nandun and said.

"Yes!" Lu Bu is the manager. The people below naturally did not dare to disobey the order, and soon the five thousand elite Yangzhou troops were singled out, and they carried the ladder in their hands and rushed towards Nandun City with their swords.

But it was still obvious that this time it was in vain, the arrows above the city were boiling with rain, and the rolling stones and trees all fell, smashing the plastic surgery below.

"Collect the troops!" Lu Bu looked at the scene in front of him, he knew that it was impossible to climb the city wall directly by relying on the elite, and he originally wanted to rely on the five thousand and a half thousand. Fight with fatigue to climb the walls. But seeing the people above the city, Lu Bu knew that they might be the most tired in a fatigue battle.

"Yes!" The sound of Mingjin's retreat sounded, and the Yangzhou army came back like a tide.

"My lord. Ballista! On the side, Gao Shun, a cold man, stood aside and reminded Lu Bu. Ballista. This siege weapon of Yangzhou. Lu Bu has tens of thousands of horses here, and they will make ballistas, as long as they give them to erect them. Smashing on this Nandun in turn will definitely cause heavy casualties in Nandun City.

"My lord!" As soon as Gao Shun's words came out, Zhang Liao on the side objected, "Lord, Yuzhou Liu Bei released the news that we will slaughter the city in the city, which makes the people of Nandun go up to the city wall one by one to fight to the death with us and live and die with Nandun, and now there are many people on the city, if the ballista is used, then we will really have a feud with the people of Nandun" The people of Nandun are only misled by Liu Bei now, it is Liu Bei's rumors that make the people scramble to admire the city wall, for fear that Nandun will be broken and let Lu Bu's army enter the city to slaughter the city.

But once the ballista is used, according to the dense crowd of people on the city tower now, this time, the people will really have a grudge with Lu Bujun, Liu Mang wants to get Yuzhou, doesn't he want the population, there are hundreds of thousands of people.

"But General Zhang Liao, if we don't use ballistas, it will be difficult for us to capture this Nandun, and if we attack it, our army will suffer heavy losses!" Cheng Yu said with a frown.

"How?" Zhang Liao also bit his lip, Nandun can't take it, then Yuzhou can't be defeated, and half of the 70,000 troops will be killed and wounded, which is not what Zhang Liao wants, but he Zhang Liao can't think of a way.

"Why don't we ask Your Highness?" Someone mentioned yƬ up.

Although Liu Mang is Lu Bu's son-in-law, but now it seems that the person in charge has become this son-in-law, not this father-in-law, Lu Bu is in the Lujiang River, he is only responsible for the barrier in the south of Yangzhou, and the development of Yangzhou is Liu Mang's doing.

Lu Bu didn't expect that Yangzhou, which was uninhabited for hundreds of miles and the city was shattered, was now cheering up day by day in Liu Mang's hands, whether it was the people, the population or the prosperity, Shouchun was much better than the Lujiang River, not to mention the entire Yangzhou. So now they are talking about Yangzhou Liu Mang, not Yangzhou Lu Bu. Whether to ask Liu Mang, the king of Shu, depends on the thoughts of coach Lu Bu, after all, Lu Bu is Liu Mang's father-in-law. They are also afraid that Lu Bu will be angry, after all, Lu Bu is the person who has been this for a long time, without Lu Bu, the father-in-law, carrying it in front, Liu Mang would not have the current territory.

"Go ahead!" Who knows that Lu Bu is very indifferent, and it is not good if he is not indifferent, for Lu Bu, his son-in-law is much stronger than himself, and Lu Bu also knows that he may only be suitable for being a general, and he is still not suitable for really sitting in the world.

"By the way, tell that kid, Ling'er misses him!"

"Yes!" Soon there were eight hundred miles rushing towards Jingzhou.

……

"There are people in Nandun City who are willing to fight with the city to survive?" What Liu Mang got was the eight-hundred-mile rush from the front line in Yuzhou, "Liu Bei, Liu Da's ears can't flow, I can't stay, this kind of demagogy!" ā€

"Those who mess with people's hearts are thieves! This Liu Bei already belongs to the national thief. Jia Xu on the side is also sighing, being able to brainwash one person, that is your good deception, can make dozens of people die, that is your eloquence, hundreds of people obey you, that is your personality charm, but if you become these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, it is not a soldier but a common people.

This is completely demagogy, such a person is really terrifying.

As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, this is not a joke, once you make people follow you with all their hearts, it is a terrible force.

"Kill, you have to kill!" The killing intent in Liu Mang's eyes was awe-inspiring, Liu Bei was worthy of being one of the three successful people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, even if he lost to Liu Mang again and again. But his appeal is really terrible, such a person still dies well, otherwise it is not a good thing to have ambition and the people in the world.

"Are you afraid of using ballistas?" Liu Mang looked at the eight hundred miles in his hand and hurried, "Nandun, Xiangcheng, I want their two cities to disappear forever in the land of the Han Dynasty." ā€

"My lord?" Jia Xu was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Mang to be so ruthless, those people, there can be hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Nandun Xiang City.

"Even if those people stay, do you dare to use Wen He!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a wry smile, it's not Liu Mang who is a butcher. It's that these people already regard Liu Bei as a god. was brainwashed by Liu Bei, just like the militarists of those island countries in modern times, these people were completely brainwashed, even if they were defeated. The facts are all in front of them. None of them admit mistakes. It's a curse to keep such people.

"But my lord, these people?" Jia Xu was puzzled, didn't Liu Mang need a population to attack Yuzhou. That's hundreds of thousands.

"It's enough to get 500,000 from Yuzhou, it's too much, and the current Yangzhou can't afford it, and it can't be raised!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu, how to say that there are eight or nine hundred thousand in Yuzhou, and in addition to the eight hundred thousand who were pulled into the army by Liu Bei, the current population is also 800,000. Yangzhou is only more than one million, and if Liu Mang adds another 800,000 all at once, he can't bear it, and he can't support it.

Therefore, coupled with the displacement and uprooting, Liu Mang allowed Yuzhou to leave 500,000 people, and Nandun Xiangcheng was regarded as an enemy to be eliminated.

"The lord is going to bear the name of a butcher, and it is in the way of the lord's reputation!" Jia Xu also wanted to persuade Liu Mang, but Liu Mang stopped him, "As long as you pick up the sword, you are the enemy, anyway, you have already been a butcher once, so why not do it again." ā€

"Reply to your father-in-law in Yuzhou, no matter what the price is, I want to see Liu Bei's head and the land of Yuzhou!" Time is running out, Cao Cao has begun to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains, which shows that Cao Cao's war in Hebei is very smooth, Liu Mang must clear some obstacles in order to meet the coming hard battle, and also need the nutrients of Yuzhou land to strengthen himself.

"Yes" Jia Xu nodded, and was ready to help Liu Mang reply to the letter, "By the way, Lord Wen Hou also sent a message"

"Father-in-law!"

"He sued the lord, and the lord Ling missed the lord!"

"Ling'er?" Liu Mang thought of this woman who loved him deeply, thousands of miles away, the two were thousands of miles apart, they had been separated for several months, Liu Mang also thought about Miss Lu, he also thought about the other two women in the family, and even with the little widow Zou, Liu Mang thought about it, and remembered the intimacy between the two under the desk that time, but they didn't know when they would meet.

"It's coming, it's coming! Take Yuzhou and force Liu Biao to let me go back! Liu Mang comforted himself in his heart.

"Wenhe help me grind!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu on the side, Liu Mang is going to write a letter to his family, and he is also very in love with his family.

"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded and went to grind.

Liu Mang expressed his thoughts in the mansion.

Similarly, in Jingzhou, there are people thinking about Liu Mang, but this thinking is with a kind of resentment.

"Why, why, let me only meet you at this time?" In the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, a beautiful woman in palace clothes was combing her hair on the dresser, but his heart had already flown out of the mansion.

"Miss!" A turquoise figure flashed in, Liu Mang must know this woman, isn't this Xiaocui.

"Cui?" Seeing the beautiful woman in the palace who came was stunned for a moment, but she did not hide her loneliness.

"Madame, I miss that person again!" Xiao Cui asked Madame.

"Don't you want to!" I didn't expect the beautiful woman in the palace costume to ask back.

"Madame!" Xiao Cui's face blushed.

"Hey!" Looking at Xiao Cui's appearance, the beautiful woman in the palace clothes sighed for no reason, she was a little envious of Xiao Cui, "After a while, I will tell the master, send you to that person's door!" ā€

"Madam, ma'am, are you trying to drive me away!" Xiao Cui was frightened.

"How so, silly girl!" The palace beauty touched Xiao Cui's forehead lovingly.

"I want Miss Costume for the rest of my life."

"It's good to have this heart. Did you order someone to get the medicine? The palace beauty suddenly said to Xiao Cui.

"Madame, do you really want it?"

"What else would you do? He can't stay. A trace of bitterness appeared on the corners of the palace beauty's mouth. (To be continued......)
