Originally, Lu Zhi planned to attack the city directly, and most of the generals asked for the same.

At that time, almost all the generals were impatient and demanded an immediate siege of the city and the killing of all the people in the city as a way to vent their anger.

Especially with the Liangzhou soldiers under Dong Zhuo, they were almost indignant.

But Liu Bei strongly advised Lu Zhi to wait a while and not attack the city immediately.

"Although there will be no reinforcements to save them, I guess that the defenders in the city should also be very confused and frightened, and the army should exert maximum pressure on them to collapse and civil strife, so that it may have the effect of doing twice the result with half the effort, all in all, these days of waiting are by no means meaningless."

Most of the generals had a negative attitude towards Liu Bei's suggestion, everyone was tired of waiting, and they just wanted to start killing people as soon as possible, and they didn't want to continue the ink.

Only Xu Xuan, the captain of the Tun cavalry who led the troops to participate in the battle, was willing to support Liu Bei's opinion because he admired Liu Bei's fair and strict style.

Liu Bei thanked Xu Xuan, then insisted on his opinion, and asked everyone to believe in him, but on the last day, everyone will be able to get the complete Julu City without blood, and everything in the city is still everyone's.

If you can win without dying, why not?

Lu Zhi had not used the strategy of extreme pressure proposed by Liu Bei, and he did not appreciate it, but he vaguely remembered seeing similar examples in the war book.

Faced with the requirements of the generals and Dong Zhuo's embarrassed but polite smile, Lu Zhisi thought about it, stared at Liu Bei for a while, and decided to choose Liu Bei's strategy.

"On the last day, just one day, all the kings and prepare, tomorrow at this time, if the city gate is not opened, the army will break the city!"

Liu Bei's suggestion was still adopted.

In addition to the people under Liu Bei's command, the other generals were more dissatisfied in their hearts, but thinking of the master-apprentice relationship between these two people and the identity of the special scripture inheritance family, these martial artists were not willing to take the liberty of offending these two noble people.

Everyone is equal in position, but in terms of actual political status, there is a world of difference, and rashly offending Lu Zhi and Liu Bei is tantamount to the end of their official career for them.

So they could only choose to prepare their armies for war, and wait, and then sigh for a long time, lamenting why their ancestors could not have a scripture teacher who was a scholar, so that they could also live the addiction of a Confucian general who allowed literature and martial arts.

However, it turns out that reading more books really makes sense.

The maximum pressure was successful.

After the ultimatum of the Han army was conveyed to the city, that night, the people in Julu City finally couldn't hold back and civil strife broke out.

There were fires in many places, and there was a sound of fighting in the city, and the Han generals looked at the direction of Julu City in amazement, and looked at Liu Bei with an indifferent face very unexpectedly.

It's really done?!

When the sky was bright, a crack opened in the gate of Julu City, and a messenger with a ragged and dirty face ran out, kneeling in front of Lu Zhi with a flattering face, and asked Lu Zhi to surrender.

"I just ask the general to spare our lives, and we are willing to surrender the city!"

Lu Zhi was dressed in military uniform, and his face was majestic.

"Where is the first evildoer?"

"I've been bound by us, as long as the general needs it, I will give it immediately!"

"Then bring the first evildoer and his family here, and then open the city, I swear in the name of Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, as long as you don't resist, the Han army will never harm you!"

Lu Zhi made his oath, and the messenger did not dare to believe it, and ran back to the city in a puff of smoke, and after a while, a group of men and women dressed in white and tied up sent out of the city.

Wang Meng, the "envoy of the gods" who occupied the county seat of Julu for more than a month, was dedicated to Lu Zhi, including the female believers who were brought to the house by him to "open their minds".

When Wang Meng was tied up and sent to Lu Zhi, he was still begging Lu Zhi not to kill him, he was willing to give whatever he wanted, and only asked for his life.

Liu Bei expressed great interest in the more than thirty female dependents, so he asked how these female dependents came here, and then he knew what Wang Meng had done during the time he became the ruler of Julu County.

Good guy, you just have a little ability to start the army and can't wait to play the wine pond meat forest?

Not to mention whether the family Emperor Xin has ever engaged in the wine pond meat forest, just say how many generations of kings of the family have passed on for many years before they are qualified to do it, and as a result, they have lost the country.

You, a rebellious fellow, are not exhausted in training the army to strengthen the strength of the base camp, but you are actually busy enlightening these female believers?

What a genius!

Liu Bei was speechless about this.

Of course, Lu Zhi was also speechless.

So he ordered Wang Meng and this group of female dependents to be taken care of, and then packed and disposed of.

Because Julu County surrendered on its own initiative, Lu Zhi did not allow the massacre demonstration proposed by some generals, but asked all officers to restrain the soldiers, strictly enforce military law, and then ordered the Yellow Turban Army in the city to hand over all the ordnance and gold and silver treasures as trophies.

The Yellow Turban Army in the city all surrendered their weapons, and Lu Zhi's personal soldiers entered the city to occupy the city, and then at Liu Bei's suggestion, Lu Zhi handed over the distribution of the spoils to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei presided over the distribution of the spoils.

Liu Bei did not distribute any property to his subordinates, but distributed all the property to the main force that followed Lu Zhi all the way.

Gold, silver, jewelry, brocade, silk cloth and other property, as well as a large number of practical materials, Liu Bei was all allocated to the main force.

After the main force got a large amount of property, there were no complaints, and everyone smiled happily, praising Liu Bei for being a man of justice and fairness, worthy of being a great Confucian disciple or something.

Therefore, the world is bustling, but for a few taels of broken silver, but this broken silver can solve all the sorrows in the world.

If you have money to take, money to put in place, and meet everyone's psychological expectations, everyone will have nothing to say.

Dong Zhuo regained his previous enthusiasm, and blew vigorously at Liu Bei's rainbow fart, blowing hard, hating to blow Liu Bei into the sky, blowing him to the sky and the earth.

But in the final analysis, Liu Bei's persistence really allowed them to gain so many benefits without injury, and all the Han army officers, including Dong Zhuo, all the grievances, dissatisfactions and doubts disappeared the moment the gate of Julu County was opened.

Even the most violent war maniacs are very willing to accept this kind of military feat, which is almost fed to their mouths.

So Liu Bei naturally gained a wave of popularity.

Lu Zhi still has a hand in the aftermath after the war, and he made a lot of arrangements in Julu County, such as collecting all the weapons, scattering the strong men and the old and weak women and children, the strong men are outside the city, the old and weak women and children are in the city, and the elite of the Han army enters the city to clean up the battlefield.

When the battlefield is almost cleared, the locals will be sent home in batches, and the outsiders will be further screened.

This step was to identify all the literate people who held positions in Taiping Dao, to separate them from the generally illiterate believers, and to sever ties between them.

Lu Zhi believes that it is these literate people who hold leadership positions that need to be punished and punished, and for other blind followers who are illiterate, Lu Zhi believes that they should be pacified and deterred, and their lives should be spared.

Then Lu Zhi began to let those who were illiterate start to work, deal with some chores for the Han army, restore the county seat to its original state in the city, etc., anyway, not giving them a chance to stop.

During this period, Lu Zhi reorganized his troops and horses, collected and analyzed intelligence, and made a plan for the next two routes.

He planned to let Dong Zhuo lead one group of men and horses to the direction of Changshan Kingdom, while he and Liu Bei led another group of men and horses to advance in the direction of Anping Kingdom, and they would eliminate the other two Yellow Turban Army that could not be saved.

In this way, the main force of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army will be solved.
