Chapter 142: Persuasion
"Gong Jin, it seems that Yuan Shu has given up on Wancheng......" Sun Ce has been spitting bubbles in the past few days.
Is it really spitting bubbles, using a reed pipe to spit bubbles in the wine bottle - this habit of drinking with a reed pipe is still dyed in Jinling.
Since Chaisang sent troops, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu easily took Wankou, and then the two besieged Wancheng without one, but they besieged it but did not attack, hoping to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
Although Bai Tu gave them the order to take Wancheng, it was ...... Theoretically, as long as Anhui City is taken safely and securely, and continues to march north, it is not a violation of the order.
It's just that Baitu will not increase his troops, and the grain and grass allocated to them are also limited.
However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are also young and vigorous, and they hope to achieve greater results without destroying Baitu's big policy of "accumulating grain"!
If...... Being able to grasp the stone pavilion and the stone road in his hands, when Bai Tu wants to go north in the future, he can completely take all the way to Wancheng, whether it is to Shucheng or to Shouchun, it is very easy.
However, a strong attack is definitely not advisable, Zhou Yu has always wanted to bring the enemy reinforcements from the stone road, but ......
The other party's attitude of having no willingness to reinforce made Zhou Yu's encirclement point reinforcements meaningless!
"Well, it's been seven days, let's directly persuade the guards to surrender." Originally, Zhou Yu actually didn't have much hope.
"Leave it to me!" Sun Ce's eyes rolled when he heard this, and in the afternoon of the same day, he began his unique way of persuading him to surrender.
Seeing that outside the city of Anhui, stuck at a distance of a stone's throw away, Sun Cejun began to build a cloud ladder in situ, and his unhurried appearance made the defenders in the city aggrieved and nervous......
The siege equipment was built for a long time and a night, and the next morning, Sun Ce stepped forward again with an anchor and an ordinary warhorse.
This time, it was not to call for battle, but to "persuade to surrender"!
"Yuan Shu rebelled against the Han Dynasty for chaos, against the sky, now I am ordered by Bai Gong to set things right, and the people of Huainan are hanging upside down, if you still have the word loyalty in your heart, you will open the door and accept surrender, Bai Gong's house is kind-hearted, and he will be able to open the net." Sun Ce shouted under the city.
Under normal circumstances, the "pre-war shouting" link, which is just a meaningless move, is used by the generals of the Baitu family, and it also seems to be very effective...... Morale began to drop significantly.
It is said that in order to control the hearts of the military and the people, it is already the norm for the princes to slander each other.
After all, it is easier to denigrate an opponent than to elevate yourself - the former only needs to move his mouth, and the latter has to act to cooperate.
In this way, the people will have a better impression of the defending side.
Yuan Shu's Dazhong, usually does not slander Bai Tu, but it has the effect of "salty envoy knowledge", and any slander by Yuan Shu cannot make waves among the people - Huainan was "broadcast" in the whole territory at that time!
Moreover, Yuan Shu's propaganda, although hysterical, is weak in the eyes of the people......
It is nothing more than accusing Bai Tu of disobeying human ethics and not being the son of man, it is difficult to arouse the empathy of the people, but Bai Tu's "killing one person is like killing my father", for the people who have suffered for a long time in the troubled times and the army, it is the real sound and sound!
In particular, Huainan is close to the Central Plains and is not like Jiangdong, and the clan forces defend themselves with "Wubao".
In this year, the so-called scholars and heroes in Huainan have also been tossed enough - first the city head changes the king's banner every once in a while, and finally there is a Yuan Shu, but it has not been changed for several years, but ...... Yuan Shu himself is enough to bring disaster to people!
At this time, Bai Tu used the sentence "Killing a person is like killing my father" to restrain the army, and there is only an infinitely tall positive image in Huainan.
Even if there is a "founding" buff, Bai Tu's popularity is also overcome, suppressing the effect of defending the city of all the people's hearts when attacking the city.
And at this moment, I saw an old man wearing ordinary thin armor coming out of the city and replied: "The old man is the order of Anhui City, but the city is Sun Lang of Wu County?" ”
"Huh? I've surrounded you for seven days, and you're not sure who I am? Sun Ce was stunned when he heard the words downstairs.
The old man was so angry that his face froze - I'm not talking about the scene? Do you still know how to respect the elderly?
Zhou Yu rubbed his forehead in the back for a while, and couldn't help but step forward and said: "I have heard the name of Qiao Gong for a long time, in Zhou Yu, Xiashu County, this is my eldest brother ...... beside me."
"It's the second brother!" Sun Ce corrected.
Zhou Yu: @%¥#!
I think you're like a fool!
Qiao County's order in the city also trembled, and finally said a little coldly: "I, Qiao's family, am also Hanmin, and it is okay to open the city to welcome you in, but ...... Huainan and Jiangdong have been separated for a long time, and suddenly returned to the command of Bai Gong, there are many things that need to be discussed in detail, I don't know if the two of them dare to enter the city to talk? ”
Qiao Yuan bit the word "two" to death, obviously without the intention of letting the army enter together.
"Haha, it's easy to say, I'll be in charge of this matter alone...... Gong Jin, you lead the troops back five miles, so as not to disturb Qiao Lao. Sun Ce smiled without thinking.
At the same time, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered to Zhou Yu on the side: "Are you sure he is Qiao Yuan'er?" When I go in a while, if he really wants to come down, if he dares to deceive...... I'll take him first, and then we'll ...... inside and out."
Sun Ce didn't have the consciousness that if the other party surrendered, his own situation would be very dangerous, and he had a tone of "waiting for me to go in, he can't help himself".
Zhou Yu looked up at Qiao Yuan, the ravine-lined old face, and finally chuckled: "No need, let's go in together." ”
"Huh?" Sun Ce couldn't help but turn his head sideways in surprise.
He thought that Zhou Yu would stop his dangerous move, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to be "crazy" together.
Zhou Yu didn't look at him, just smiled at Qiao Lao in the city, and then shook the feather fan lightly - it seems that since the beginning of the three knots of Ganlu Temple, Zhou Yu likes to hold the feather fan very much, and he will fan it if he has nothing to do......
Cheng Pu and other veterans under Sun Ce were resolutely opposed, but Sun Ce didn't give them a chance to stop them at all, but just ordered Cheng Pu to lead his troops to retreat.
And Qiao Yuan also seemed to be more energetic, and said coldly: "Although the old man is old, he is not a little noisy, so he can be disturbed...... No need to retreat, open the door! ”
"Oh? Hahaha, you old man has a temper with me, and when this happens, you can have a drink. "Sun Ce has already asked for wine.
Then the scene outside Anhui City was very strange.
On the besieging side, it is only a stone's throw away from the city gate, and if the cavalry is a cavalry, a fierce man can pierce it, but at this time, the city gate, which should have been closed, has opened a small crack - if Sun Ce personally guards the city gate at this time, there will almost certainly be a chance to directly rush into the city.
But the attacking side was just about to make a move, and after all, there was no action, but the two coaches ...... Walked into the city with a big grin.
After the city gate was closed, the two of them had no intention of looking back, and the Wancheng Ling didn't seem to want to do anything, so he directly sent someone to introduce Sun Ce and Zhou Yu into the county magistrate's mansion.
When the two entered the middle hall, they saw that Qiao Yuan, who was still in the city just now, had already changed into Confucian clothes and sat down, and the banquet had been prepared.
"Huh? Have you been preparing this banquet for seven days? Sun Ce asked if he didn't open a pot.
Truly...... Sun Ce and Zhou Yu arrived seven days ago, just to encircle the point and send reinforcements, so they didn't attack immediately and didn't shout.
I saw Qiao Yuan, who had been placed to play for seven days, and after hearing the words at this time, an old face was stretched out......
Zhou Yu on the side always felt that recently, his migraine was getting worse and worse.
