Zhuge Liang said it very boldly, quite like "extinguishing this morning food".

But he was actually very cautious in his heart, and even a little nervous.

He is familiar with it, how can he not know the source of the allusion to "extinguishing this dynasty food", which was originally a defeat.

After more than half an hour of marching, more than 3,000 horses from the Zhuge brothers, Chen Zhi and Gan Ning came to the west of Pengze County.

The troops advanced by land and water, and Chen Zhi's escort cavalry patrolled and covered the shore.

lest the main force of the boat, when it arrived outside the Penzexi Gate and landed on the shore, it was half-attacked by the enemy who had recoil out of the city.

And the enemy in the city did not react in the slightest. I don't know if it was because the major general was timid, or because he was heavily guarded by Chen Zhi.

In short, the Zhuge army of nearly 3,000 men and horses, all landed safely in formation, leaving only hundreds of sailors to guard the ship and protect their families.

Zhuge Jin himself also stayed in the fleet.

Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, the enemy had not made the slightest move, and Zhuge Liang, who had already come ashore and approached the city wall, was a little more sure in his heart.

Then, according to the plan, he ordered Gan Ning to take some light warriors with bows and go out with him.

Chen Zhi led a shield hand in front to protect and block the arrows.

There were also three hundred cavalry guards on both wings, and they were slightly behind for more than a hundred paces to line up to ensure that they were out of the range of the crossbows at the head of the city.

It is not good for cavalry to carry a large shield to cover the whole body, and it is too dangerous to get close to the city wall. And even if a person can shield it, the war horse can't completely protect it.

And a little more than a hundred steps back, this distance does not affect the performance of the cavalry, if someone in the city dares to open the door to fight back, Chen Zhi can also rush over to engage in battle in an instant.

Although the Zhuge army is ready to attack the heart and persuade him to surrender, it is absolutely indispensable to show military might, which is the basis for attacking the heart.

If the enemy does not feel that he will be defeated, how can he surrender easily?

"I should have the momentum of the public, but I must not have the enemy."

Zhuge Liang finally hinted at himself, paced to the front of the formation and prepared to persuade him to surrender.

He had just been called by his eldest brother to do things now, and he didn't have a feather fan yet, so he had to pace with his hands behind his back and didn't make any gestures.

He was wearing a white robe of Ge Bu, but Zhuge Jin forcibly asked him to put a soft leather armor inside, and he couldn't see it from the outside.

While chic is important, safety is also important.

Anyway, it was his eldest brother who instigated him and forced him to do this.

This not only does not affect Zhuge Liang's "confidence", but also brings out his filial piety and listens to his eldest brother.

……

Walking behind the shield wall, Zhuge Liang opened his voice and persuaded the city to surrender. The scolders next to him also spread his words one after another.

"Listen to the city soldiers! The imperial court has officially canonized Zhuge Mansion Jun as Yuzhang Taishou! Zhenrong has also been designated as a thief by the Son of Heaven!

I have never seen such a brazen person in the world! It's that Lu Bu, who has only killed two old masters!

There must also be some of you who have followed the old departments of Guangling Zhao Fujun, Danyang Xue Fujun, and Yuzhang Zhu Fujun, right? You used to be the king of my Han Dynasty, the lord of the king, to protect the peace of one party, when to help the thieves and harm the other?

Of course, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. The thief can bewitch you for two years, and you have to blame Xue Fujun and Zhu Fujun for not knowing anyone, knowing that this thief is not as good as a pig and a dog, but he still drinks to quench his thirst for his own desires, giving him the opportunity to deceive and reduce his effectiveness. But in the end, they were also retribution, and they were killed by this thief, and I will not judge the deceased today.

If you don't check for a while, you fall into the den of thieves, and you may still have loyalty in your hearts, but you abandon the darkness and turn to the light. But today, General Zhengnan has sent Captain Pingyu as the vanguard, leading 8,000 elite soldiers from Danyang to take Peng Ze. The main force of General Zhengnan is 30,000, and it is not coming!

Since ancient times, the first righteous person will be rewarded, and the last one will be killed! If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, you can still get the merit of righteousness, and you will not be blamed for the past. When the general of Zhengnan breaks through the other places, you just want to open the city without blood, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it!

The general of Zhengnan is benevolent, and he may not blame the soldiers who were coerced, but the thieves who bewitched the Buddha in the Zhenrong army will all be liquidated! ”

Zhuge Liang's words really made the defenders of the city shake slightly, and it was obvious that there was a division.

After all, although there are many soldiers and horses, and although there are many coercions, the source of his soldiers is too complicated.

Over the years, Zhenrong has taken "some of it to build pagodas, do Buddhist things, and win over the poor and sick after robbing money" as a cover, so those who believe in Buddha are the largest source of soldiers, but their military quality is not good.

The best military quality is the former Guangling, Danyang, and Yuzhang, the three Taishou who were killed by him, and the old army soldiers left behind.

Many military commanders, Qu Junhou, and even ordinary soldiers in the county soldiers may not believe in Zhenrong's propaganda.

But when the war swept the whole county, they could only follow in order to protect themselves.

Because once the fanaticism of believers is set off, if you don't follow it, you will be killed, and it is either friend or foe, and there is no in-between.

And after they took refuge in Zhenrong, Zhenrong soon found the next imperial court taishou who was willing to accept him, so that his status as a soldier was whitewashed again.

Even if the original county soldiers were still confused, they missed the window period to oppose Zhenrong, and found that they were with a new court official, so they continued to mix in such a daze.

Before Zhuge Liang came to persuade him to surrender this time, he did his homework in this regard, and then focused on those "county soldiers who had served the Han Dynasty".

In this way, it can not only arouse their resonance, but also emphasize that Zhenrong will never have a chance to wash his name again, and he has been designated as a thief by the Son of Heaven.

Even if you can't directly persuade you to surrender, you can still make the Buddha fanatics in the defenders and the professional soldiers suspicious and rift each other.

Zhuge Liang didn't talk much, and it was also very easy to understand, nothing more than that bit of content, which made the scolding fighters repeatedly emphasize that they called on the guards to open the city gate, and soon the defenders at the head of the city were really unstable.

However, not everyone in the defenders was willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

After a while, a sharp-voiced guard came out of the crowd and led his own troops to the head of the city, shouting orders not to listen to nonsense outside the city.

Zhuge Liang was far away, and at first he couldn't hear the specific content of the words.

But later, more and more people shouted at the head of the city, and Zhuge Liang also vaguely heard it: it was nothing more than some threatening words such as "Those who believe in the Bodhisattva, even if they die in battle, can be reborn in bliss, if they betray the Bodhisattva, even if they survive for a while, they will fall into hell and suffer endless suffering forever after death".

In addition, there are all kinds of emphasis on "coming to the enemy to bluff, Zhuge Xuan did not have the edict of the Son of Heaven to be canonized, and we fought with Zhuge Xuan last year, how can we surrender to the enemy."

Chen Zhi and Gan Ning, who were protecting Zhuge Liang on the side, also heard these words, but they did not react.

The doctrine of Buddhism and Taoism was not very widespread in the Han Dynasty, Chen Zhi did not read much, Gan Ning was not widely interested, and he did not know the concepts of Bodhisattva and Bliss.

In the cognition of the people of the Han Dynasty, the most they thought that when they died, they would go to Taishan Mansion and return to the ground, but there was no such thing as hell.

Thanks to Zhuge Liang's involvement in hundreds of schools, whether he believes it or not, he has seen all the beliefs and doctrines that can be seen in the world, and he has seen them all once, and only then did he instantly grasp the key point of the opponent's bullet pressure.

Zhuge Liang flashed a thought, pulled Gan Ning and whispered: "Xingba, I see that the city is chaotic, and there must be a contradiction between the Buddha thieves under the command of Zhenrong and the old army soldiers." The soldiers of the county wavered, and the Buddha thief wanted to suppress it.

If the county soldiers can't gain the upper hand, persuasion may not be able to do all the work, and you may need to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city - can you be sure that you will shoot the Buddha thief who led the team to suppress the bullets? ”

Gan Ning glanced at it: "It's a little difficult, the thief is running around, it's not easy to aim, and there is a female wall to cover it, I can be sure of it at most." Unless he dared to stand still, or even lean out from the female wall, he was at least eighty percent sure of shooting him. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then ordered the scolding players to shout new lines, if it still didn't work, they had to take advantage of the chaos to attack.

This time, Zhuge Jin's army came by boat, and some of the army brought some improvised siege equipment such as flying ladders and crashing wood, which could indeed launch an attack as soon as they went ashore.

It's a pity that the heavy siege equipment can't be carried, and once it falls into a difficult battle, it must be made.

I only heard the scolding array scolding one after another: "The edict of the Son of Heaven is here!" King James is a thief and will never be forgiven! Feng Zhuge Xuan is too shou of Yuzhang! Dog thieves in the city, if you deceive your subordinates and trap them in rebellion, you will not die a good death! Otherwise, you dare to put down the hanging basket, and we will send someone to put the edict in the basket, and let you see for yourself! When the time comes, the authenticity will be distinguished! ”

While everyone was scolding, Zhuge Liang also raised a hand from behind the shield wall and raised a scroll high.

He didn't dare to forge his will, this scroll was actually for his eldest brother, who canonized Zhuge Jin as the captain of Pingyu, and it had nothing to do with Zhu Rong's characterization and Zhuge Xuan's Taishou. Zhuge Jin's visit to Yuzhang this time is like moving, and of course he has to take the edict given to him by the Son of Heaven with him.

Zhuge Liang took it out and shook it in a hurry, but it was not overstepping.

Although the guards in the city couldn't take it, after watching Zhuge Jun's performance and listening to the latest shouts, he couldn't help but become more and more shaken.

The Buddha thief general at the head of the city saw that the left and right were more and more shaken, and hurriedly leaned out, holding the battlements with one hand, and scolding at the halberd under the city with the other: "No faith and deceitful thief!" Don't want me to be fooled! This is an overkill! They're thieves! ”

"Anti-thief! If you don't have a weak heart, why don't you put the hanging basket! Zhuge Liang shouted solemnly,

At the same time as the scolding players followed and relayed, Gan Ning had already seen the opportunity, and "swished" an arrow with a three-stone strong bow, like a meteor falling to the ground in the autumn moon, crossing a beautiful parabola, just nailed to the chest of the bullet thief general.

Rao was wearing leather armor, or was the iron cone arrow piercing the flesh and penetrating the right lung.

"It's a pity! Didn't shoot in the heart! But I can't live, so let's not rush! It's a rare opportunity! Gan Ning slapped his thigh with regret, knowing that he couldn't hesitate at this time, so he hurriedly asked for battle.

Zhuge Liang quickly turned his head to look at the flying ladder prepared behind him, and nodded solemnly to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning snatched the round shield in the hand of a shield wall soldier next to him, then held his saber in his mouth, and the hand holding the knife also changed his original shield, and then waved his hand, holding the shield in both hands and rushing forward first.

Seeing that the official army was about to launch a strong attack, and seeing that the Buddhist thief generals who had been suppressing the bullets were shot and killed, at least seriously injured, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead, several former county soldiers at the head of the city finally made up their minds and chose to defect from the battle.

"Open the gates! Welcome to the king! Kill the Buddha thief! ”

At the head of the city, a Qu military marquis brandished a war knife and took his descendants to kill the group of monks who were still trying to save the leader next to him.

Then the monk who was hit by an arrow in the chest and was still spurting blood from his lungs as he breathed also chopped his head with a knife.

Several other county officers who decided to defect also fought hard to kill the monks guarding the city gate and opened the city gate.

Gan Ning originally planned to climb first by flying ladder, but when he rushed to the bottom of the city, he saw that the city gate was actually opened.

He didn't care whether there was fraud or not, whether there was a jack gate or not, he directly put a shield on his head with one hand, and a shield in the other hand to protect the front, and rushed into the crack of the door.

More than 100 henchmen behind Gan Ning, all of whom were born as Jinfan thieves, also rushed in together.

Those soldiers who originally carried the flying ladder, in order to be faster, directly threw the flying ladder.

Gan Ning rushed through the doorway and was relieved after confirming that he would not be injured by the rolling wood and stones,

Then he saw that several bandit soldiers with broken hair rushed up in front of him and wanted to block the mouth, Gan Ning directly threw the round shield in his right hand and smashed the head of the first thief officer to the point of bleeding.

Then taking advantage of the other party's dizziness, Gan Ning snorted, threw down the scimitar that was originally in his mouth, threw the shield with his right hand, and volleyed the knife in his hand, and handed it directly forward, stabbing it into his shoulder and neck to result in it.

Throwing a shield, spitting out a knife, catching a knife, and assassinating are all four actions in one go. Before the other party could recover from the dizziness, he was already dead.

A few broken hair thieves next to them were also frightened when they saw Gan Ning's bravery, and they lost ground for a while, and were soon slashed and killed by the Jinfan soldiers who came in later.

"The county soldiers have been persuaded by Ah Liang to surrender! Pick the short-haired one to kill! Gan Ning was also considered coarse and fine, and set the rules with a loud shout, and then let the parts scatter to control everywhere.

Han monks were few and far between, and they did not require a shaved head, but a few of the more fanatical believers would choose to cut their hair short.

Zhen Rong started as a Buddha, and most of the most fanatical thieves in his army shaved their heads, and Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang had also conveyed this situation to the generals just now.

Gan Ning is in a hurry and can't tell the enemy from the enemy, the easiest thing is to look at the hair.

This is similar to the killing of He Jin by the Ten Standing Servants and the revenge of Yuan Shao's attack on the palace and the killing of the eunuchs.

It's just that back then, Yuan Shao was staring at killing whoever he shaved, and today Gan Ning Chen is staring at whoever shaved his head and killed whom.

After a short and intense battle, as the sound gradually subsided, Pengze County was finally successfully taken by the Zhuge army.

……

"Why is there still a fight? It seems that the enemy army is really difficult to persuade to surrender, but the city gate is opened, presumably Ah Liang's persuasion has played a role, and the first merit of this battle is still counted on his head. ”

Zhuge Jin, who had been supervising the naval army on the boat, was also quite surprised when he found that Pengze County's persuasion had turned into a strong attack.

Fortunately, he was relieved to see that the situation was quickly clear.

This is Ah Liang's first trick in his debut, and he can't mess it up.

"Big brother! Will Ah Liang be in danger? The thieves won't go out of the city to kill, will they? Hurry up and take the rest of the soldiers ashore to rescue Ah Liang! ”

The family members who stayed on the ship on the side also witnessed the scene of the battle directly for the first time, and they were all frightened.

Zhuge Zhi and Zhuge Lan each hugged one of their eldest brother's arms, the whole person trembled, and their voices were soft and sharp.

The good news that "the city gate was opened" has become a terrifying omen of "the enemy will rush out of the city and kill him" in the eyes of this group of women who are completely ignorant of soldiers.

The step trainer didn't know Zhuge Liang and wouldn't worry about him, but seeing that the two big sisters who had just met were so worried, she had no choice but to hug Zhuge Ge's thighs and shake them gently.

"Okay, Ah Liang will be fine, I will take Pengze County to let him practice, how can I not have reconnoitred the enemy situation in advance? Just this person, they dare to come out and fight back, that is looking for death. ”

Zhuge Jin didn't want to say this, but he knew that his sisters all regarded him as the backbone, and he had to show a calmer appearance than normal emotions.

Overkill must be overdone.

Zhuge Jin watched calmly for a while, and when he saw that the movement gradually subsided, he beckoned dozens of cavalry on the shore to come over to cover, and then pulled his younger siblings ashore and prepared to ride into the city.

Although Zhuge Zhi Zhuge Lan is a woman, she can also ride a horse, and the people of the Zhuge family are both civil and military, and their athletic talent is okay. Zhuge Jun can also ride a pony and walk slowly.

The foot trainer had no choice but to be protected by Zhuge Jin in front and share a horse.

When Zhuge Jin arrived at the gate of the city, everything on the city tower had already been controlled.

Zhuge Liang also sat upstairs and ordered the soldiers to control all the key points, and secretly supervise the county soldiers who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, so as to prevent further accidents.

Zhuge Jin confirmed that there was no danger, so he went upstairs and wished his second brother victory.

"What just happened? said that he was persuaded to surrender, but why did he suddenly fight again? Fortunately, Xingba seems to be brave and resolute - you can tell me whether he should be credited with his first or second merit in this battle. ”

Zhuge Liangyun smiled lightly: "Xingba is risking arrows, and he is considered his first merit." My persuasion to surrender was actually completed at the beginning, but there were some monks, soldiers, and Buddhist thieves in the city, who were not afraid of death, and only wanted to kill themselves...... Benevolence? Buddha?

I dared to use evil words to deceive the people and deter the county soldiers, I couldn't bear it, so I tricked him into showing his face and answering, when Xingba shot the thief with an arrow, and then the county soldiers turned against him. ”

Until this moment, Zhuge Jin could be regarded as a detailed understanding of how the second brother won the persuasion.

He couldn't help but be dumbfounded: what about the good war of words? Why didn't you let people speak, and took advantage of the opportunity to seduce the enemy to open their mouths, and shot them with one arrow?

This script of "Although I can easily win you with spray, but I still respect your right to speak" that Zhuge Jin originally made up in his brain seems to be very different......

"This second brother won't be raised by me to be a little crooked in the technology tree, right? Why is there so much martial virtue all of a sudden? ”

Zhuge Jin glanced up and down at Zhuge Liang with unfamiliar eyes, and saw that the other party was furious.

Zhuge Liang felt uncomfortable, so he had to defend himself: "What do you want, big brother?" Isn't it just killing a thief? Confucius didn't give the other party a chance to finish speaking, let alone deal with these thieves who bewitched the public. ”

"Ah, yes, yes...... There's nothing wrong with that. But Ah Liang, you are still young, you still have to develop in an all-round way, you can't blindly use the strong, and you can't fall behind even if you are a ghost. ”

Zhuge Jin was weak in his heart and exhorted, and only begged his younger brother not to form path dependence and lead to bias.

It's really not easy to cultivate Ah Liang perfectly.
