In the city of Guangzong, the clouds are thick.

Each commander went his own way, making the Yellow Turban Army, which was already at a disadvantage, even worse.

If they can unite, there is still the possibility of defending the city, but Zhang Niujiao and others, all of whom do not accept Zhang Baiqi as the new big boss, they all want to be the big boss, and no one obeys anyone, and they are destined to be ununited.

The imperial army outside the city has almost prepared the siege equipment.

Lu Zhi waited for the opportunity to launch an attack on the city, but before the fight started, Cao Cao caught a scout who was released by Zhang Niujiao, and after bringing it back to the barracks, this scout gave a bombshell news.

Zhang Jiao is dead!

Sick to death!

Lu Zhi instantly remembered something, as if Yang Zhao had said a few days ago that Zhang Jiao would die of illness, this is still true!

"Yang Sima, you're right!"

He looked back at Yang Zhao, his eyes full of surprise.

Cao Cao was stunned, and quickly reacted, Yang Zhao had indeed said something similar, and he was so sure that he guessed so accurately.

Now in the Yellow Turban Army, people must be panicking.

"Just a coincidence!"

Yang Zhao smiled, looked at the captured scout, and asked, "In addition to Zhang Jiao's illness and death, what other things happened in the city?" ”

"All the commanders in the city are not subject to Zhang Baicai, but before the death of the great sage and good teacher, let Zhang Baiqi take charge of the army."

This Yellow Turban scout was very afraid of death, and told everything he knew.

In other words, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army are now fighting among themselves, and everyone wants to take over everything that Zhang Jiao left behind.

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, and it was another important military situation.

"Lu Zhonglang, Cao Duwei, I have a plan, you come with me."

Yang Zhao thought for a while and said.

When they came to the rear, Yang Zhao said again: "Since there are many contradictions in the Yellow Turban Army, I think we can take advantage of their contradictions. ”

Cao Cao instantly realized something and asked, "Is Sima Yang thinking about using tricks to divide the world?" ”

"That's right!"

Yang Zhao continued: "Let that scout deliver a message to Zhang Niujiao, we want them to surrender, as long as they surrender, they can not die, and at the same time, let people shoot the letter of persuasion to surrender into the city with a bow and arrow, and then wait for their internal contradictions to slowly develop." ”

Cao Cao agreed: "This plan is feasible. ”

If you attack the city now, it may lead them to unite and divide their relationship, which is much better than a direct attack.

Lu Zhi also felt that it was feasible, and immediately said: "Yang Sima is responsible for this plan." ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

Yang Zhao arched his hand.

Back in front, the scout of the Yellow Turban Army was still on his knees begging for mercy.

"You go back and tell Zhang Niujiao that as long as he can open the city gate and lead the troops to surrender, we can spare him from dying, and all the ordinary soldiers under Zhang Niujiao don't have to die."

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, "Send him out." ”

The Yellow Turban Scout was dumbfounded, he was ready to die, but he survived, and then was thrown out of the barracks.

It's really alive!

He hesitated for a moment, then ran back, running for his life, and quickly climbed back into the city through the rope.

Whether this person will bring his news to Zhang Niujiao, Yang Zhao can't be sure.

But whether he brings it or not, it is not very important.

There are other plans to follow.

Yang Zhao found silk and cloth strips, found the civil officials of the military camp, wrote dozens of letters of persuasion, and when the scout returned, he arranged for some soldiers to shoot the letters of persuasion into the city on the four sides of Guangzong.

The contradictions in the city are left to their free repercussions.

The persuasion of the imperial court, the conflict between the various commanders, and the dissatisfaction with Zhang Baiqi, these contradictions will definitely continue to develop, and the longer the time, the more intense the development will be, and when it is almost over, Guangzong will break himself.

After doing all this, Yang Zhao led the troops back to the barracks, and Lu Zhi and they continued to wait, anyway, there was no trouble with Zuo Feng, and they had time now.

——

The scout didn't want to be a thief anymore, and he was afraid of death, so after he went back, he followed Yang Zhao's arrangement and told Zhang Niujiao all the words of persuasion.

"Shut up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Niujiao roared angrily and was so frightened that he knelt down.

Zhang Niujiao said again: "You forget these words immediately, don't spread them, you know?" ”

"My subordinates know."

"Alright, get out!"

Zhang Niujiao said sharply.

The court persuaded him to surrender, as long as he opened the city gate and went out, not only could he not die, but he could also become a good citizen from a traitor, this condition was very tempting, and his heart was shaken, but he was very entangled.

Meanwhile.

"General, we found an arrow that came in from outside the city, and there is something tied to it."

A soldier sent a sharp arrow tied with a silk silk to Lei Gong.

"Coming in from outside the city?"

Lei Gong opened it curiously and looked at it, it was Yang Zhao's letter of persuasion, which said that as long as he was willing to open the city gate and surrender, the imperial court could exonerate them.

After reading it, Lei Gong was silent, so he walked to the city tower and looked out.

Although the strength of the imperial court is not as large as theirs, in the Yellow Turban Army, the people are panicked, and all the commanders have their own ideas, and this situation will definitely not be able to defeat the imperial army.

"Do you want to surrender?"

Lei Gong hesitated in his heart.

Also got the arrows, as well as the other commanders in the city.

Like Zhang Niujiao and Lei Gong, they had other ideas popping up.

Some news will always go away.

For example, the news of the court's persuasion to surrender, although only their Qu Shuai can get it, but the first person to see the arrow is an ordinary soldier, and it happens that there is a soldier who has read books and can read and write.

After reading it, he persuaded the court to surrender, as long as they surrendered, they didn't have to die, and the news spread to the whole army.

Zhang Jiao died, and they didn't want to fight again.

Now there is still a chance to surrender, and all the Yellow Turban soldiers seem to see hope, but they don't dare to raise it to their commander, just circulate it in private.

These news quickly spread to Zhang Baiqi, and immediately called all Qu Shuai to a meeting to study this matter.

"I'm the first to oppose surrender."

Zhang Niujiao said loudly: "Those dog officials in the imperial court, will they let us go?" When pigs fly. ”

Li Damu agreed: "I won't surrender either, General Zhang called us over, is he questioning that we will surrender?" You don't trust us! ”

"I had no intention of doing so!"

Zhang Baiqi wanted to unite very much, and continued: "I just want to tell the generals, don't forget, the reason why we rebelled in the first place, so be it! ”

After saying that, he left the hall first, feeling a sense of weakness in his heart.

The others went back to their respective places.

Zhang Niujiao returned to his residence, and the scout before was actually sent out by him again, continued to contact the imperial army, and happened to return.

The scout is now a communication tool for Zhang Niujiao and Yang Zhao, and this time he brings back a new message.

Lu Zhi decided to formally attack the day after tomorrow and surrender or not, Zhang Niujiao thought clearly for himself, and if he surrendered, he would use Zhang Baiqi's head as a vote.

Zhang Niujiao fell into deep thought again, thinking about what to do next.
