Chapter 550 Persuasion and Acceptance

In front of the main hall, the battle is not over, and the number of Xiangyang royal troops gathered in the square in front of the main hall is still very high, but in the face of the general scene of slaughter in front of the main hall, many people are hesitating, timid, and let those generals drive them, and they do not take a step forward.

As the leading general, a cadre lieutenant from Li Tang, a low-level officer such as the captain of the box was red-eyed, some of them simply rushed out alone, and some of them were extremely angry and directly pulled out their cross-knives, kicked the soldiers around them to the ground, threatening, these soldiers stepped forward, however, what answered them was indifference and disdain.

Leng Zhuo carried the head of Situ Nalan, the king of Xiangyang, and jumped to the top of the main hall in a few jumps, overlooking the square below, gathering internal qi, and shouting loudly like a bell.

"The head of the anti-king Situ Nalan of Xiangyang is here, you don't surrender quickly, and you have to wait for when" This voice reverberated in the square in front of the main hall, and the thousands of anti-king soldiers surrounded below looked in the direction of the main hall.

The distance is too far, no one can see the face of the human head in Leng Zhuo's hand, in fact, even if he can see it clearly, few of them have seen what the king of Xiangyang looks like, but Leng Zhuo's shout made the hesitant anti-king soldiers no longer struggle in their hearts, but the one who surrendered on his knees was nothing.

It's not that they don't want to, but they are not afraid, although they were forcibly pulled into the anti-king, but after all, they joined the anti-king army, this is a major crime of rebellion, and they want to punish the nine clans, don't look at many of these people who don't know what laws, but the rebellion against the nine clans is clearly printed in their minds, and the past dynasties have never spared no effort in the propaganda of this.

Leng Zhuo glanced down, but frowned slightly, it seemed to be different from what he thought, the king of Xiangyang was hanging, what reason did these people have to resist, they should have knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.

Leng Zhuo was wondering, but Zhuge Liang took the ladder of the ancient tower giant beast to the top of the main hall, Zhuge Liang jumped off the head of the ancient tower giant beast, came to Leng Zhuo's side, and said: "Young master, the reason why these soldiers are driven by the anti-king is not that the anti-king has that prestige, but that they carry it seriously, these people have joined the anti-king army, that is, the great crime of rebellion, according to the law, it is necessary to connect the nine clans."

"It's not that they don't want to surrender, but they surrender, but they are more implicated, and they are a hundred when they die, at least they will not implicate their relatives. ”

"Ah, what should I do then" Leng Zhuo heard Zhuge Liang say this, and suddenly realized, isn't that the truth, who of these soldiers knows who the king of Xiangyang is, this bastard can recruit 200,000 new soldiers to drive him, but it is not because he is an anti-king, and the people who are pulled under his command are all soldiers who participate in the rebellion, not because they don't want to, but they don't dare.

"Young master, if you want to persuade these people to surrender and use them for the young master, it is not a difficult thing, as long as the young master exposes his family, and allows these people to wear their sins and make meritorious contributions and exonerate themselves, this matter will naturally be solved" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said unhurriedly.

When Leng Zhuo heard this, he immediately understood, turned around, and shouted loudly again towards His Royal Highness Taizheng: "Do you want to know who I am" Hearing Leng Zhuo's question, the soldiers below were even more stunned, who knows who you are, and who you are has a relationship with them, some smart soldiers close to the periphery have begun to quietly move backwards, here can not stay longer, for now the only way is to escape from Xiangyang, and then find a remote place to hide.

Leng Zhuo's voice fell, and he asked and answered: "I am the marquis of the emperor, Leng Zhuo, the marquis of peace in the Tianlong Empire, when the court defends the country, the generalissimo who controls the soldiers and horses in the world is my grandfather-in-law, Ben Hou knows that you are being forced into the anti-king army, and you are not really rebellious, so Ben Hou clearly said here, those who surrender on the spot, Ben Hou is not guilty of the past, and those who are willing to join Ben Hou's command, Ben Hou will still protect his merits and wealth."

As soon as Leng Zhuo's words came out, sure enough, many soldiers and horses present exploded, Chuzhou itself has two marquis, the Huang family of the Marquis of Jingnan, and the Chen family of the Marquis of Pingnan, you must know that there are only eight people who are still marquis in this dynasty of the empire, so the people of Chuzhou are quite proud of this, and the new Marquis Leng Zhuo is even more in Chuzhou, Xiangyang City is a waterway thoroughfare, commerce and trade are developed, and the news will naturally not be closed, so I still have heard of this marquis.

Although they usually say that this Hou Ye is not a good thing, but at the moment, Leng Zhuo's identity is clear, but he is cited as a beacon by everyone, and the last trace of doubt in his heart suddenly disappears, and some people drop their weapons one after another and surrender on their knees.

And surrender is contagious, and after a while, a large area of the square has fallen to its knees.

"You all get up for me, get up" The angry Li Tang general angrily pulled out the war knife in his hand and slashed at a soldier who was kneeling on the ground, and blood splattered on the spot.

"Those who are stubborn, there is no forgiveness for killing, and they will be judged by killing rebellion" Leng Zhuo shouted again, this time without the generals under Leng Zhuo's command, countless soldiers jumped up in all directions, and pounced on those who were still unwilling to kneel.

Zhuge Liang looked at the chaos below, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Leng Zhuo with a smile: "Young master, Xiangyang City, take it"

Leng Zhuo nodded, yes, Xiangyang City has been taken, but it is only taken, and the great achievement is far from being completed, after all, they are alone in the depths, although they have taken the enemy's lair, but Xiangfan County is all around, but there are still hundreds of thousands of anti-king troops.

"Zhuge Junshi, Xiangyang has been won, what should we do next" Leng Zhuo turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang, to be honest, although Leng Zhuo was a little smart, but as the things involved became bigger and bigger, Leng Zhuo's mind was a little insufficient, although he could say three or four or five when he was calm and calm, but it was inevitable that there would be some omissions, and there was a demon like Zhuge Liang around him, Leng Zhuo would naturally ask Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang did not refuse, at this time, don't look at taking Xiangyang City, in fact, they are in deep crisis, if they are not handled well, they will also be doomed.

"The young master has a few things to do at the moment, first, immediately send people to disperse all over Xiangyang City, spread the news of the anti-king being killed in the city, gather the remaining rich families in the city, and gather the wealthy families to discuss the defense of Xiangyang."

"Second, send Li Yuanba, Dian Wei and other generals to fly to various places in the city, subdue the chaos in the city, restore peace to Xiangyang City as soon as possible, and at the same time gather the surrendered anti-king soldiers to guard them."

"Third, collect the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and eliminate the Tang soldiers who are heinous or sent by Zhongzhou, and assign generals, soldiers and cadets to act as the backbone, form an army, take over the defense of various cities, and actively prepare for war."

"Fourth, immediately fly the pigeon to send a letter to Pingnan Hou Chen Ping, tell him about Xiangyang, and let him lead the soldiers and horses to arrive as soon as possible."

"Fifth, select some people from the surrendered army, and let a few generals go to persuade the anti-king soldiers and horses located everywhere, and after persuading them to surrender, quickly reorganize them and disintegrate the anti-king army."

"Sixth, pass on the beheading of the king of Xiangyang and the fall of Xiangyang City to Liu Bowen and Pang Tong in the Vermilion Bird City, they should know what to do next."

"Seventh, immediately send out scouts and go out in all directions to inquire for news as a precaution"

"We need to do it now"

Leng Zhuo nodded, Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang, and he can already say seven in an instant, which coincides with his thoughts, of course, there are some that he didn't expect: "Military Division, you look at the deployment of the following personnel, I'll take people to the east of the city to take a look."

This idea Leng Zhuo can still be not too much from what Zhuge Liang thinks, but when it comes to organization, Leng Zhuo is far from comparable, but Leng Zhuo doesn't need to do this kind of thing himself, he wants to be Liu Bang, but he doesn't want to be Zhuge Liang.

However, Leng Zhuo had not yet set off, and on the main street in the east of the city, there were two hundred flying horses galloping on the bluestone slab, and the leader was Wei Qing.

Seeing Wei Qing coming in person, Leng Zhuo knew that he didn't have to bother to make a trip, it must have been solved over there, otherwise there would be no manpower to support it: "The rebels outside Dongcheng have all been solved"

Wei Qing turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the young master, everything is going well, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, more than 3,000 dead and wounded, more than 2,000 people fled, and the remaining 4,000 people were captured in the city, Wei Qing was worried about the situation here, so he brought troops to come first, and the specific situation will be explained by General Huo later."

Leng Zhuo nodded, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City, of which more than 10,000 people are outside the city, and less than 20,000 in the city.

But at this moment, the city must be very chaotic, Xiangyang City is too big, and thousands of soldiers and horses can't even make a splash when they throw it in: "I know, it's okay if you come, go to Zhuge Military Division to obey the dispatch."

"Young master, there is a big discovery"

The thousands of soldiers on the square were divided into seven or eight by the generals under Leng Zhuo in less than an hour, and the soldiers and trainees who followed Leng Zhuo all the way to the battle, and the still alive soldiers and cadets all became low-level officers, becoming team leaders, deputy team leaders and other official positions, this is less than twenty days, and the promotion speed can be called a rocket, and if the recruitment of other anti-king troops is successful, these people will also be promoted to the next level.

I can't help but say that Li Tang's generals still have a hand in training, and the ten battalions stationed in the four cities of the inner city are carefully selected, and the quality is not to say, and they are all the first batch to be pulled into the army, the training can be half a year, and even participated in one or two battles, it can be said that the team is formed, so it is not difficult to receive it at all, and the backbone can be used quickly, and it is not enough to fight a war, but it is more than enough to pacify the chaos in Xiangyang City.

With some available soldiers and horses, the manpower is finally not so stretched, and there are still some core soldiers and horses left in this Xiangyang Palace, but they are Leng Zhuo's henchmen, and they don't even have those warrior students, for the huge wealth that King Xiangyang has amassed.

"Found it?"
