Because of the good news on the front line, Wang Xu's body and mind have been completely relaxed, and with the recuperation of these days, his injuries have also improved rapidly, so he has a leisurely life.

At this moment, he is leaning on the bed in the study, fed by Diao Chan, although he can do it himself, but he is also happy to enjoy the affection of the beauty. From time to time, he also laughed a few words, making Diao Chan blushing and shy.

Just when the two of them were tender and sweet, enjoying the rare sweetness, Xiao Rong outside the door walked in gently after hesitating for a moment, and interrupted: "Master, Guo Junshi is here!" ”

"Bonghyo?" The smile on Wang Xu's face froze, and then he said to himself strangely: "Isn't he on the front line of Wuling?" Why did you come back? ”

After a little contemplation, he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Rong, you go and invite Guo Jia in." ”

"No!" Xiao Rong responded and left quickly.

Seeing this, Diao Chan also said very considerately: "Husband, then the cicada will go out first!" ”

Wang Xu thought about it, because he couldn't guess whether it was a top-secret matter, he still nodded and said, "Hmm!" All right. ”

After a while, Guo Jia had already walked to the door of the study, patted the dust on his body with wide straight sleeves, and then entered the room. didn't talk much nonsense, and after bowing, he went straight to the topic: "Lord, my subordinates rushed back this time to discuss important matters!" ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Xuqi said.

Guo Jia paused, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then slowly spoke: "Lord, you should have read the battle report of Wuling, and your subordinates won't say much." In fact, under this plan, destroying the enemy is only half of it, and what really matters is the next half. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly became interested, straightened up and smiled: "Then Fengxiao is not going to talk about it quickly." ”

Seeing that Wang Xu cared so much, Guo Jia also showed a smile on his face, and then said: "Back to the lord, the key to this plan is whether Cai Mao, Wu Ju and the others can be forced to retreat in advance when the ships are not assembled, so as to give up most of the soldiers. Take only the elite. So far, it has been successfully realized. Then the next plan is to make a fuss about this. ”

Wang Xu was even more confused, thinking about it, and it took a long time before he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said strangely: "Feng Xiao wants to use this to attack Liu Biao?" ”

"Not bad!" Guo Jia smiled slightly and nodded affirmatively. "Lord, the ancients: warriors. It needs the right time, the right place, and the right people. And among them, it is the most human. Since Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, he has also been diligent in government, although he was forced by the threat of Jingnan to expand the army on a large scale, increasing the burden on the people. But relatively speaking, he still gave Jingbei a stable environment for development. The government is Qingming, and the people are also very supportive and supportive. ”

"My subordinates have thought that in this way, when we send troops to Jingbei in the future, they will be united and resist together, and they will inevitably encounter strong resistance. And this time forced Cai Mao, Wu Ju, and Kuai Liang to give up ruthlessly. It is precisely to disintegrate the unity of Jingbei from within. The lord can immediately let the spy start to promote it in Jingbei. Weaken the process and only talk about the result. The people don't know much about it. At that time, whether it is soldiers or ordinary people, they will question Liu Biao. ”

"Especially the families of the soldiers, they don't know the situation, and they don't know where their relatives died, so they will consciously feel that they were abandoned and died in this battle. With the speed of the spread of rumors, it will soon be known to the entire Jingbei. At that time, Liu Biao was difficult to distinguish, because it was impossible for the people to look at the problem from his point of view, but only from their own point of view. In this way, Liu Biao will definitely lose the hearts of the people, especially the other sergeants, who will have ideas in their hearts in the future, which will greatly weaken the strength of Jingbei. ”

"Hahaha! Good plan, good plan for filial piety! Wang Xu was immediately happy, as the ruler of Jingnan, he understood the horror of rumors better than anyone else. Unless it has been deeply rooted, it is not long after arriving in a place, in order to win the hearts of the people, it is necessary to work hard to do a lot of things, and to lose the hearts of the people, it is enough to do a particularly strict thing. The Han Dynasty ruled for 400 years and was deeply rooted, so it would take a long time to completely lose the hearts of the people, but Liu Biao had only been in Jingzhou for a long time, and such a thing was enough.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xu couldn't help but ask: "Fengxiao, what if Liu Biao abandons the car to protect the handsome?" ”

"Abandon the car to protect the handsome?" Guo Jia said suspiciously.

"Oh! The car is the pawn. ”

"Hehe, the lord is really full of wonderful words!" Guo Jia suddenly understood, smiled and praised, but didn't say much, thought about it, and replied: "No, although Liu Biao can shirk this matter has nothing to do with him, it was done by Cai Mao, Wu Ju, Kuai Liang and others, but it can't be remedied and settle the people's grievances." Because he didn't dare to move Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, these two families were his biggest supporters in Jingbei, and they were extremely powerful, if he acted rashly, there would definitely be civil strife. ”

As for Wu Ju, he didn't dare, because the generals in the army understood the merits of this battle, and Wu Ju was also a general of Jingbei, and pushing himself on Wu Ju would make the Jingbei soldiers deviate from morality. This matter is related to the names of countless soldiers, and no one can take full responsibility. Therefore, Liu Biao will do some insignificant punishment at most, which cannot calm the people's grievances. ”

"That's just as well!" Wang Xu nodded clearly, and then smiled: "Since this is the case, then let the spy do it now!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Jia immediately stretched out his hand and smiled: "Slow down!" It's not too late for his subordinates to finish speaking. ”

"Oh? Does Bonghyo have other ideas? Wang Xuqi said.

Guo Jia smiled, but he didn't say anything, and asked instead, "Lord, I don't know how you want to treat Jingnan's captives?" ”

Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, but still smiled without hesitation: "Of course, it is an incorporation, and if it does not meet the requirements, it will be released." This soldier is not like a general, the general will take care of his family, but they don't have to scruples, it is common for soldiers to surrender after being defeated on the battlefield, I don't believe that Liu Biao dares to move so many people from house to house. Moreover, in doing so, it can also make many military households in Jingnan move south, weaken Liu Biao's power, and enrich the households in Jingnan. ”

It seemed that Wang Xu had expected this, Guo Jia shook his head calmly, and said with a smile: "Lord, those who surrender in the middle and right should be co-opted, but not on the Wuling side on the left." Not only should they be let go, but they should also be fed and sheltered, and the lord should go and personally comfort them and express his deep sympathy. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"My lord, they are the best spreaders of rumors! And it is also the best ironclad evidence, if the spy shadow goes to expose the facts alone, it can only cause public resentment in Liu Biao, but when they go back, they can really stimulate the entire Jingbei. ”

Saying that, Guo Jia was already a little excited, took a deep breath, and continued: "After they were abandoned that day, they had a deep hatred for Liu Biao and the generals in the army, and when they returned to Jingbei, they would definitely not want to return to the army. And they can't return to their hometowns with great fanfare, and after they become captives and are released, they don't return to the army, they are deserters. The villagers and the country officials all know that they are soldiers, and after seeing them, they are likely to leak out. Therefore, they can only hide, and hiding will cause greater resentment, and when the time comes, they will inevitably inform their relatives and friends to vent their resentment. And although relatives and friends will not tell where he is, they will continue to 'secretly' tell his trusted relatives and friends what Liu Biao did, and show off that he knows ironclad evidence! ”

"The lord can imagine that the nearly 20,000 captives abandoned by the river, even if not all of them will spread, as long as more than half of them go back to spread, what will be the impact? It is safer than the spread of spy shadows, and it also makes Liu Biao more helpless, he doesn't even dare to hunt and kill. If he really braved the world's condemnation and hunted down and killed on a large scale, then wouldn't it be better if we could take the opportunity to send outstanding spy officers over to lead and instigate the rebellion of the people in Jingbei? ”

"As for letting the lord personally pacify the captives and personally lead the crowd to release them, it is to make a sharp contrast between benevolence and unrighteousness. When the time comes, when those soldiers are propagandizing, they will think of the lord by the way, and compare the lord's benevolence and righteousness. Under the slow spread, the lord will soon appear in the hearts of the people of Jingbei. ”

Hearing this quietly, Wang Xu was really stunned, looked at Guo Jia in a daze, and couldn't speak for a long time.

Noticing Wang Xu's strange gaze, Guo Jia couldn't help but look at himself and said strangely: "Lord, is there anything wrong with your subordinates?" ”

Wang Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you are too terrible." Your strategy not only destroys the enemy tactically, but also triggers the subsequent strategic offensive, which can be called a classic serial strategy. With you, why worry about the world! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Guo Jia to answer, he got up from the Hu bed and said hurriedly: "Let's go, go and notify the spy now, let them spread it in Jingbei first, do a good job of paving, and then release the captives to go back, the effect is better." ”

Seeing this, Guo Jia was suddenly anxious: "Lord, your injury ......"

"Ahh It's a pity that it was too late, and Wang Xu, who got up quickly, fell back to the bed because of his violent movements, which affected the injury......

Striking while the iron was hot, in order to catch up with the best time, Wang Xu didn't care about the injuries on his body, and the next day, accompanied by the guards and Xu Shu Diao Chan, he took a carriage and galloped to Wuling to appease the soldiers.

And the effect is really obvious, Wang Xu with his injuries, with the help of everyone, personally comforted the soldiers, comforted them with kind words, and ordered them to add food and vegetables, and also let them drink to suppress the shock, which really moved them very much. Many even proposed to follow him from now on.

In fact, Wang Xu looked at them and was a little soft-hearted, as an abandoned soldier, he was already very pitiful, and he was still being used like this, so he almost nodded in agreement. Fortunately, when the words reached his throat, he reacted in time, and in order to calm Jingbei as soon as possible, and to restore Jingzhou's stability and development as soon as possible, he quickly pressed it down. And refused on the grounds that they were not from Jingnan, their families were all in Jingbei, and they did not want them to fight hard with their hometown.

This can make those soldiers very moved, and many of them expressed their hope on the spot, hoping that Wang Xu can pacify Jingbei as soon as possible, and they will inevitably come to serve again when the time comes.

During the three days he stayed in Wuling, Wang Xu was with the soldiers every day, sometimes comforting, sometimes talking and laughing, the effect was far beyond expectations, and the situation of the soldiers was very fluctuating. Until the end, when Wang Xu personally led the crowd to release them in batches, he was still a little reluctant.

When I finished this qiē and rushed back to Jingnan again, it was already half a month later...... (To be continued.) )
