Chapter 435: Persuasion
At this time, outside Xiangcheng, nearly 100,000 troops were about to launch an offensive.
Although among the 100,000 troops, nearly 30,000 or 40,000 belong to the logistics troops, that is, the legendary auxiliaries.
I have to explain here.
The reason why there are so few auxiliaries and so many regular soldiers is mainly because Cao Cao is his base camp behind him.
To put it simply, he doesn't need too many auxiliaries at all to maintain the combat effectiveness of the regular soldiers.
After a period of investigation, Chen Feng found that Cao Cao's regular soldiers were probably around fifty or sixty thousand.
That's not too much.
But if it compares to Xiangcheng......
Even if it's only fifty or sixty thousand people, it's enough to put a huge pressure on Xiangcheng.
It can be said that if Cao Cao really attacked like crazy, the pressure that his subordinates could cause would definitely be much higher than the pressure on Xu Du from Xun Xin and Zhao Wen.
Therefore, it is difficult to block Cao Cao.
But if you can't stop it, then the worst will happen soon.
Chen Feng obviously didn't want to see the worst happen.
Therefore, he must find a way to block Cao Cao in the shortest possible time, and at the same time let many generals see confidence.
It's not simple.
However, Chen Feng is also strengthened by a small computer.
So although this matter was difficult, it was only after nearly half an hour that Chen Feng thought of a way to live.
"It's time for the people to follow."
He stood up with bright eyes, muttering to himself as he walked out of the tent.
Yes.
The solution Chen Feng found was very simple, that is, to let the people in the city, as well as the people around Xiangcheng, all participate in the defense of the city.

As a result, the number of his auxiliaries will increase significantly.
What's more, since he is now engaged in a defensive battle, although these people are only auxiliaries, or even inferior to auxiliaries, if they are willing to contribute, then they can give full play to the strength of regular soldiers.
This is probably the biggest difference between offense and defense.
No matter how many soldiers Cao Cao led, all he could use was regular soldiers.
Because once those auxiliaries encounter danger, it is likely that there will be chaos, which in turn will lead to panic in the whole army...... and ultimately lead to the formation of failure.
But for Chen Feng, who is on the defensive side, the army he leads, whether it is an auxiliary soldier or a common people who are inferior to the auxiliary soldiers, as long as they go to the city, they can exert their strength that is not inferior to the regular soldiers.
After all, they won't engage the enemy, and they won't be hit by one thing after another that suddenly falls from the top of the city.
The most important thing is that with the right arrangement, they may not even encounter a single arrow feather.
On the battlefield, such soldiers are often the ones with the highest morale.
This is Chen Feng's advantage.
However, it was not a simple task to get those people to the top of the city.
Because although most of them really want to keep the land they have just acquired, most of them have never experienced war, and they are also very afraid of death.
So, trying to get them to convert as quickly as possible is not possible.
Unless the general defending the city has a high reputation.
For example, Cheng Yu, who kept his foundation for Cao Cao when he was attacked by Lu Bu.
It has a great reputation in the city, and even if it is just standing there, the whole city will be willing to fight for it.
Chen Feng......
Although he wanted to say that he was an open-minded person, it was impossible for him to fall behind a person like Cheng Yu.
But this is the reality after all.
The reality means that although Chen Feng's ability is not bad, when it comes to prestige, he is not very powerful at all.
At the very least, if he wanted to get those people to go to the city desperately, it was unlikely.
Unless he can do the greater good to the people.
But Chen Feng can't do this anymore.
Because before this, Chen Feng had already divided the land, if there was anything else in the Xiangcheng area that could make the people fanatical......
There are no more.
Gold and silver are certainly not going to work.
For although the people were very fond of gold and silver, it was the land that they liked the most.
Therefore, compared to the previous wave, just giving some gold and silver at this time was not enough for the people to climb to the top of the city.
Of course.
Chen Feng already had a plan for this, and it can even be said that he had similar ideas for a long time.
So at this time, he didn't panic at all.
"You should all know that once Xiangcheng City is broken, what situation we will face next."
"So, I won't say much more......"
"In a word, as long as you are willing to give up your family's land, I will definitely give you more compensation after this war is over."
Chen Feng stood on top of the public court, and after saying these words confidently, he looked at everyone present with his eyes.
Most of these people are wealthy families in the Xiangcheng area before.
Although some of them have run away, some of them will be reluctant to do so.
For example, these people in front of them are the group of people who are reluctant to inherit the foundation.
The most important thing is that they also hold the most land in the entire Xiangcheng area.
This means that if they can be convinced, then the people will immediately receive countless good fields.
As a result, even if the people did not want to climb to the top of the city, they had to do their part to protect their property.
Of course, Chen Feng knew that what he did was somewhat despicable, and it could even be said that he was forcing those people to go to the city.
But at this critical time, even if Chen Feng wants to be soft-hearted, it is no longer possible.
Because once the city is broken, then after the Cao army enters, it will cause even greater disasters.
Chen Feng didn't believe that Cao Cao would let these people go.
I don't believe that Cao Cao will easily let go of all the property in the city.
The soldiers and horses under his command have always fought for all this.
Is that going to change now?
Apparently impossible.
Therefore, whether Chen Feng is despicable or not, the people will eventually become victims......
Thinking like this, the little guilt in Chen Feng's heart soon disappeared.
When he looked at the representatives of these wealthy families in front of him again, something different instantly appeared in his eyes.
"Good!"
Just when everyone was hesitating, a figure stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said to Chen Feng: "I am willing to believe in the military advisor!" ”
When the others looked at the figure, their eyes were full of astonishment.
Obviously, none of them expected that this guy would suddenly stand up, let alone that he would be the first to be accepted.
What's more, when you stand up, you stand up, and you will be voted for.
But what do you do with them?
Along with you?
That's the family business accumulated by five generations, or even more than ten generations!
Just hand it over?
In the early days, they were not even afraid of chaos, just to keep this little thing in their house......
But now, they still have to hand it over?
Why?!
"You may not believe me, but what I want to tell you is that whether you believe me or not, at this time, in Jingzhou, there is land exchange with you."
"So be it."
Chen Feng looked at the expressions of everyone, and quickly understood what they were thinking, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I am in charge, as long as you are willing to give up your land, after this battle, I will use Nanyang's land to pay one for two." ”
"If I don't believe me, I can write a deed right now."
