367 Gain the trust of others

The cavalry robber's eyes were cold, and he bowed lightly at the scout general.

The scout general summoned a few Yan soldiers who were standing outside, pressed the captive firmly to the ground, and tore the prisoner's clothes despite the latter's struggles.

There are clear black calluses on the shoulders - obvious marks left by long-term ploughing.

The scout general's eyes softened slightly, waved his hand, asked the Yan State soldiers to retreat, and then said coldly: "Since you are a farmer, you don't have the blood debt of my Yan State soldiers in your hands...... As long as you answer honestly, Ben will keep you alive. ”

The captives kowtowed continuously, and even their brains were bloodshot: "Thank you, General!" Thank you, General...... The villain doesn't dare to fake ......"

The scout general looked at the cavalry robber on the main seat, and the cavalry nodded at the scout general with satisfaction, and then asked the captive murderously: "Ben Shuai sees that you are nonsense!" ”

"Our army has besieged Jimo for two years, and the city has not been able to hold out, and there has never been any precedent of 'sending scouts to explore the truth'!"

"Say! What the hell are you here for? ”

The captive seemed to be frightened, his lips twitched for a moment, and then he cried out with tears in his eyes: "Wronged! Wronged! ”

"It was my general Tiandan who discovered the Yan army...... The flag of the Chinese army of the Yan army was changed, and it was decided that the Yan army was changing commanders, and perhaps there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he ordered me to go out of the city to investigate...... I never thought about losing my hand and being captured......"

The robber's gaze slowed slightly.

That's a reasonable explanation.

After a few questions and answers, the captive had gained the most basic trust - the cavalry asked in a cold voice, "Ben Shuai asked you - how many people are there in the city?" How much grain and grass? ”

The captive replied honestly: "Back to the general's words—the number of people in the city is not much, only about 10,000 people...... But there is plenty of food and grass! ”

When he heard the captives say, 'There are only 10,000 people in the city,' he was about to laugh - according to his original estimate, there were at least 30,000 or 40,000 men in the city.

When I heard the words 'abundant food and grass', I couldn't laugh anymore!

The scout general on the side raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and interjected: "Lie! My army has besieged Jimo for two years, this Jimo is just a small coastal city, how can I hoard so much grain and grass? ”

"Even if the 10,000 people in the city only eat one meal a day, the amount of food they have eaten in the past two years is an astronomical amount!"

"How can it be that 'there is still plenty of food and grass'? Do you dare to? ”

The captive looked frightened, and poured beans into a bamboo tube: "The general doesn't know - the reason why there is still grain and grass in the city depends on the assistance of Quyang Marquis of Chu State!" ”

"Jimo City faces the sea, and there is a port that used to be used for the 'Laizhou Sailors' to be stationed - Quyang Hou transports grain from the sea and docks at the port...... Never stop! ”

As soon as these words came out, they should have caused an uproar, but the generals of the Yan army remained silent - between looking at each other, many people had an expression of 'sure enough'.

There must be foreign aid in Jimo City - they have long guessed this.

After besieging Jimo for two years, how can there be food in the city?

And the land has been surrounded by water, and the only way to transport supplies to Jimo City is through the sea!

It's not that the people of Yan don't want to intercept - the main thing is that Yan doesn't have a sailor who can afford to fight. If it is a temporary training, on the one hand, there are no ships, and on the other hand, the Yan people will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time.

The northerners are not good at boating!

The general of the Yan army snorted angrily: "Sure enough, it's the damn Chu people who are doing ghosts!" ”

"The Southern Barbarians are hateful!"

"Little Nanban, you dare to go against my big Yan...... Now that the evidence is conclusive, please give the order and hit Yingdu! ”

"That's right! Hit Yingdu! Capture Chu Man alive! The swallows shouted loudly.

After conquering the Qi State, the Yan army was already crazy-

Mo said that it was just a Chu country, even if aliens invaded the earth tomorrow, these arrogant Yan generals would dare to rush up to take the lead.

Fortunately, the cavalry still retained three points of reason, and waved his hand to stop the shouting of the generals.

The generals could barely suppress their anger, and they also understood that without the king's order, they could not start a national war privately...... So the scolding against Xiong Wuliang was endless.

"Xiong Liangzi, do such a despicable thing!"

"The Chu people don't dare to compete with my Dayan Iron Army, they only dare to do what they do secretly...... Shameless! Shameless! ”

"Mi Liang Xiao'er!"

"I'm waiting for the Great Yan Warriors, sooner or later I'll have to slash this fang!"

"Cut off the head of Mi Liang'er and hang it on the bell tower of Jicheng!"

……

After some venting, the general's emotions were slightly controlled—when they looked at the 'captive' who had collapsed on the ground, they obviously no longer looked suspicious.

The Qingyu Guard scout disguised as a captive was secretly happy in his heart - sure enough, throwing out a fact can gain the trust of the deceived person.

As we all know, those who want to lie cannot tell all lies. It is necessary to mix three points of falsehood with seven points of truth to make it easier to win people's trust.

The Qingyu Wei scout threw out the true information of 'Xiong Wuliang's ship transporting baggage', and quickly won the trust of all the Yan generals.

This is the second step of Xiong Wuliang and Tian Dan's serial plan - send Qingyuwei spies out of the city to investigate, and then 'miss' to be captured by the Yan people, send the 'intelligence' out of the city, gain the trust of the Yan people, and finally strive to lead the Yan people's nose.

The generals of the Yan army fell into a brief confusion - since the grain and grass in Jimo City were endless, it was obviously impossible to 'trap' Jimo to death.

There is no point in continuing the siege.

So how to solve it?

Through diplomatic means, put pressure on the state of Chu?

Unlikely—

First of all, the soldiers of the Chu State are in full swing, and they are engaged in what kind of 'Huimeng Grand Ceremony' is intended to dominate, and it is the time to be arrogant - it is estimated that they will not be afraid of the protests of the Yan State.

Secondly, there is no tangible evidence in the hands of the generals of the Yan army - based on their speculation alone, it is obviously impossible to corroborate the facts - the spy in front of him is a human witness, but the words of this witness are too humble and have no probative effect.

Since diplomacy is not the best means, then ......

It is impossible to intercept and kill the ships of the Chu people - Yan State does not have a decent sailor, nor does it have warships - even if there are sailors and warships, it is enough to fight the Chu sailors who are good at water warfare.

So...... There is only one last option.

Onslaught Jimo!

As the captive in front of him said, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Jimo City.

No matter how strong the city is, it is not difficult to defeat it - 200,000 Yan troops are here, even if one person spits on it, it is enough to defeat Jimo City.

The robber's gaze swept across the generals' faces...... I had the intention to give the order to attack, but I was a little hesitant.

Tian Dan, the Qi general on the opposite side, is quite capable - when the Yan army arrived outside Jimo City, Chang Guojun also organized several fierce offensives, but they were all resolved by Tian Dan - now although there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians left in the city, but under the desperate resistance, the Yan army will definitely pay a lot of casualties.

Just as the cavalry was hesitating, the 'captive' who had been limp on the ground suddenly spoke again......
