Three days, in a flash..Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.
In the past three days, Bu Zhou took the leader of the barbarians to the place where the barbarians were detained.
What Bu Zhou and the various barbarian leaders did was to persuade everyone to submit and let these people completely side with Liu Xiu.
In addition to the language difference, the barbarians and the Han people also have their own differences.
Bu Zhou was very clever, he directly found the very difficult people among the barbarians, and asked the barbarians to complain.
One by one, the barbarians complained about their hardships.
Such a move led to other barbarians.
At the same time, Bu Zhou began to publicize the preferential treatment of barbarians in Chu and the current situation of Wuxi Barbarians in Wuling County.
After a series of actions, countless barbarians were moved.
For ordinary barbarians, it is necessary to make real benefits, so that they can see that they have clothes and food to eat, and they will be moved.
For the barbarian leader, it is necessary to give sufficient benefits.
So all the barbarians were converted.
Bu Zhou reported the news to Zhang Jaw, and Zhang Jaw reported it to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu did not hesitate to praise him, and he also gave Bu Zhou some brocade silk and so on last time, so that Bu Zhou was excited for a while.
After Zhang Jaw did all this, he began to dispatch troops.
Liu Xiu has already given him the power to deal with it, and Zhang Jaw naturally wants to seize the opportunity.
Zhang Jaw led the army out of the camp and rushed towards the city of Chengdu.
Most of these soldiers were brutes.
And Liu Xiu led the army and pressed the formation in the rear.
Jia Xu rode a horse and followed Liu Xiu's side, smiling and saying, "King, the jaw of the army is arrayed, and it is quite orderly. This man, the first good general. ”
Liu Xiu said: "Zhang Jaw is indeed good, it was a clever move for Xu Shu to persuade him at the beginning. ”
Jia Xu also nodded.
For Xu Shu to enter Luoyang alone in the past, Jia Xu also admired.
If it were him, he would definitely not want to.
Jia Xu has always believed that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he will not let himself be in danger.
"Step, step!"
As the army marched, the sound of horses' hooves came from the rear.
A brocade guard came to Deng Zhan's side, whispered a few words, and then handed over a letter.
After Deng Zhan took it, he hurriedly came to Liu Xiu's side and said, "King, I just received the news from the rear. The Cao army did begin to attack Nanyang County, but Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and others were in the army, and the Cao army failed to advance a bit. On the Jiangdong side, Zhou Yu also attacked fiercely, intending to enter Jiangxia County, but Tai Shici was in charge and also blocked Zhou Yu's attack. For now, the overall situation is not affected. ”
He spoke briefly, and then handed over the letter.
Liu Xiu opened the letter and quickly skimmed through it.
After reading the letter, Liu Xiu's face had a dignified look.
Seeing this, Jia Xu chuckled in his heart and said, "King, apart from Jiangdong and Cao Jun, is there anything else that has changed?"
Liu Xiu said: "For the time being, there is no change. ”
"However, there is also a letter from Kuai Liang in the rear, saying that there is a lot of pressure on food due to continuous wars. ”
"We went to war with Cao Cao, and then we came to Yizhou, and now there are also wars in Nanyang and Jiangxia. ”
"There is war everywhere, and food is needed everywhere, so the burden is heavy. ”
Liu Xiu said: "Kuai Liang suggested, let us end the war in Yizhou within two months. He said that once winter arrives, the burden will be heavier. ”
After listening to this, Jia Xu sighed with emotion: "This is how to fight, money, grain, etc. are used up like running water. ”
As soon as the war broke out, there were ten thousand taels of gold.
Historically, fighting a war has been a costly affair.
Liu Xiu also recuperated for two years before he dared to start a war with Cao Cao.
It's just that now, with a few more battlefields, the pressure on Jingzhou is very great, especially the 'swing' in the granary Yizhou, which has affected the supply of grain.
Pang Tongzheng said: "According to the current situation, it will not take two months, and it will only be a matter of a few days." Even if you count the follow-up finishes, it won't take two months. ”
Liu Xiu said: "I hope so!"
......
Chengdu City, on the city tower.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stood above, and the leaders of various barbarian tribes were also there.
Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "Lord, it has been a few days now, but there is no news from the front line, and Liu Xiu has not moved. It seems that Liu Xiu will not retreat for the time being, and will concentrate his forces to solve us. ”
Liu Bei's face was a little more worried.
Can you get through this hurdle?
Liu Bei is not very optimistic about his current situation.
"Knock! knock!"
The rumbling drums of war sounded outside the city.
Here it comes!
After Liu Bei heard the sound of war drums, there was a touch of nervousness in his eyes.
As the distance narrowed, Liu Bei saw the situation outside the city.
At this time, the soldiers who appeared outside the city were not soldiers from the Chu State, but ragged and even many shirtless barbarians.
When Liu Bei saw this, his heart suddenly struck.
What's going on?
How can there be barbarians.
And Liu Bei saw a point, these barbarians were not bound, but obeyed the arrangements of the generals of Chu State.
Liu Bei's heart was very surprised.
Liu Bei said: "Strategist, what do you think is the situation?"
Zhuge Liang was also a little puzzled, he couldn't 'touch' what the situation was outside the city.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Zhuge Liang responded to all changes with the same and made preparations for war.
At this time, it is necessary to stabilize the position.
As the distance narrowed, many of the barbarian tribal leaders on the city tower also saw the situation, and they all started talking about it, with a strange look in their eyes.
The situation on the castle tower began to be impetuous.
The morale of the army even began to 'swing'.
Zhang Jaw led the army to a distance of forty zhang outside the city and stopped.
He glanced up at the castle tower, a faint smile on his lips.
This time, he wanted to make Liu Bei completely panicked.
"Archer, prepare!"
Jaw Zhang ordered directly.
At the sound of an order, more than 4,000 barbarian soldiers took out their longbows, took out bows and arrows and put them on the bowstrings, and the arrows were aimed at the castle tower.
After the persuasion of Bu Zhou and others, these barbarians all surrendered.
And this time, they are fighting with Zhang Jaw.
However, the bows and arrows they use are individually customized, because each bow and arrow is accompanied by a note.
The purpose of 'shooting' arrows is not to 'shoot' and kill barbarians, but to convey messages.
Open Jaw ordered: "Release the arrow!"
An order was given, and the flag was shaken.
"Whoa!"
More than 4,000 bows and arrows roared out, with the sound of breaking the air, and in an instant, they crossed the sky, and then rushed straight to the city tower.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly let the shield soldiers resist, and let the soldiers hide.
Dense bows and arrows flew to the towers, some fell to the ground, some hit the pillars, and some 'shot' the barbarian soldiers, and the notes tied to these bows and arrows soon attracted the attention of countless barbarians.
They were all taken apart and looked at them, and then there was a commotion.
Many barbarians are illiterate, but there are also literate people.
As soon as someone advertised, the news spread quickly.
The note on the bow and arrow is not a declaration of war, not a threat, but a surrender, a surrender to the barbarians. Moreover, many of the letters on it are written in the barbarian font.
The news spread, and it immediately made the brute soldiers restless.
When they saw the situation on the note and learned about the benefits of returning to Liu Xiu, they were naturally moved.
At this moment, the hearts of the barbarians under Liu Bei's command fluctuated.
