Sun Ce and Lu Fan set a strategy to use the people as a shield and break through the siege in a foolish way, but this strategy still needs a lot of time when it reaches the implementation stage.

There are nearly 200,000 people in Moling City, except for more than 20,000 soldiers, the others are ordinary people, including the defenders of the city who have just been forced.

It is impossible for these people to be released from the city all at once, firstly, it is impossible for Zhuge Jin and Guan Yu to receive them, and secondly, Sun Ce also has to throw stones to ask for directions and test the other party's reaction. The whole process dragged on for ten days and eight days, which is normal.

Sun Ce's first temptation took place on November 25, just two days after he consulted with Lü Fan. And it was not directly tried in the way of "Sun Ce let the people out of the city", but only sent Zhang Zhao alone, plus a small number of escorts, to Liu Bei's Niuzhu camp to negotiate with the envoy.

Guan Yu was a little surprised when he heard that Zhang Zhao was coming, so he asked people to entertain him first, and then he himself immediately came to Zhuge Jin to see if Zhuge Jin could see if the other party had a conspiracy.

In the past two years, as long as Guan Yu can act with Zhuge Jin, he is used to acting like this, why don't you ask more if you have free computing power.

"Ziyu, could it be that Zhang Zhao is here, and there is another conspiracy? They don't want to make peace, do they? It can't be a swindle? As soon as Guan Yu met, he said a lot of possibilities for his own brain.

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "If you see it, you will know it, listen to what they say, just guess how to guess, I am not an immortal." ”

Zhuge Jin soon came to the Chinese army commander's tent with Guan Yu, and Zhang Zhao was then brought in and made a heavenly salute to the two: "Meet General Annan and General Fubo." ”

Zhuge Jin saw Zhang Zhao for the first time, and he was still a little curious about this person.

Zhang Zhao is now about forty-five years old, although he can't be called an old man, he is also an old man, and he has a big beard.

Compared with the image of a transcendent literary old man in film and television works, Zhang Zhao in reality does not look so civil, but his face is ruddy and full, his face is a little fat, and he is a bearded and fat man.

But it's normal to think about it, Zhang Zhao has a fiery side, he doesn't listen to advice when he encounters it, and he often loses his temper. This kind of short-tempered person is a fat man, which is not strange at all, just like the fat Zhang Sanfeng in Jet Li's version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

Zhuge Jin carefully observed Zhang Zhao's expression, and didn't see any hypocrisy, so he asked him directly.

Zhang Zhao said Sun Ce's purpose respectfully: "Don't dare to deceive General Fubo, there is a shortage of food in Moling City, and if you still have to distribute food to support the people, I am afraid it will not last."

My lord rebelled against the general, remembering that the people of Danyang had followed him for six years, and could not bear the people to starve, and heard that the Duke of Xuande was a benevolent gentleman, who was always people-oriented, and would not harm the people in order to win. Therefore, I implore General Annan and General Fubo to give a chance to allow the people to go out of the city and surrender first. ”

Zhuge Jin frowned keenly: "Sun Ce wants to drive the people out, slow down his food consumption, and hold out for a few more months?" Now that we've come this far, why not drop! Although if he is willing to surrender, what will be done in the end, I don't count, I want my main chariot general to decide.

But with common sense, whether it is based on the conditions of the old Gou Jian to the husband, the autonomous clan of the Yongdong Islands, or the retreat of the general Liang Ji when he imitated Emperor Huan, it is possible. If you still resist to the end, you will die in the end! ”

Guan Yu listened to Zhuge Jin's statement, and regardless of overstepping his authority, he made a showdown with Zhang Zhao, saying, "My main general Che Cai listens to Zi Yu's advice the most, as long as he suggests the advice on Sun Ce's treatment, the Che Cai General will definitely adopt it, so if you still want to survive, you must listen to Zi Yu's opinion."

Zhang Zhao is also full of history books, and of course he knows the two precedents proposed by Zhuge Jin.

Historically, after Gou Jian defeated Fucha, in the end, Fucha asked Dazai Yao to send an envoy to sue for peace, and Dazai Yao said that "Fucha had also let go of King Yue back then", and he wanted Gou Jian to leave a way to live. At that time, it was still the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the princes still had to talk about credit, and they couldn't kill them all, the so-called "heirs of the people".

Therefore, Gou Jian also left a way for his husband to live, but the conditions were ten times lower than those given to him by his husband.

Twenty years ago, the husband left "5,000 households" of autonomous subjects for Gou Jian, but Gou Jian only gave the husband "100 households and 400 households", that is, only 500 households were left for him, and he was to be exiled to the Yongdong Islands (Zhoushan Islands) for autonomy and was not allowed to return to the mainland.

It was the husband who felt that this condition was too low, and he didn't want to take 500 households to Zhoushan, so he chose to kill himself.

The recent example is that when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he used the eunuch "Five Marquis" to extinguish the general Liang Ji, a foreign relative. In fact, after Emperor Huan succeeded, he did not say that he would kill the Liang family, but gave Liang Ji a condition: "Migrate to Feng than Jinghou".

In other words, Liang Ji was still given the identity of a liege, but he had to be exiled to Bijing County, Ninan County (now Da Nang, Vietnam)

It was Liang Ji who felt that it was better to die than to go to that kind of countryside, so he committed suicide by taking poison.

Even people in their forties and fifties like Zhang Zhao don't need to look at historical materials to know about this, because they were all national events that happened when they were children, and they were very sensational at the time.

Zhuge Jin's two examples seem to be casually cited, but in fact, they have other profound meanings, one is the separatist princes of the previous generation of Wu in history, and the other is the fate of the losers of the power struggle in this dynasty, and the victors still have a glimmer of life.

Of course, there are more recent examples in the future, but they are all bloodier, and Zhuge Jin does not want to cite them, which is not conducive to persuasion.

After Zhang Zhao heard this, he was really a little moved, and said that he would persuade Sun Ce when he went back. But the main mission of his coming today is to hope that Zhuge Jin can agree:

"My lord has said that whatever General Fubo suggests, please accept some of the people to surrender first, as a sign of sincerity and faith, so that we can talk about anything else. If credibility is not established, what good is empty talk?

If General Fubo is worried that there are too many people out of the city at once, and your army is also short of military rations, it is inconvenient to settle them, he can first surrender 10,000 or 20,000 people, and then release them one after another every few days, so that the two sides can build mutual trust by running in several times, and then talk about the rest, so as not to be suspicious of each other. ”

Speaking of which, Zhuge Jin will not have anything to do with Zhang Zhao, he has repeatedly tried and observed Zhang Zhao's expression, which has basically been determined, and Zhang Zhao himself probably doesn't know more about it.

So he agreed to Zhang Zhao's request and allowed Sun Ce to test the release of 20,000 Moling people tomorrow. After that, a batch will be taken every two or three days, and then we will talk about follow-up.

Zhang Zhao thanked him and left.

As soon as Zhang Zhao left, Zhuge Jin also immediately instructed the servants around him: "Quickly go to Guangling and invite Chen Changwen to come here, prepare to settle the people who were driven out of the city, allocate grain and grass, and prepare for work in winter to prevent chaos." ”

The entourage immediately received the order and left, and then went to Guangling to ask Chen Qun to deal with these resettlement work.

Chen Qun has been following the Zhuge brothers to build canals, engage in polders, and provide cash-for-work during winter farming, and he has more than three years of experience, and he is the most proficient person in Liu Bei's camp in this kind of internal affairs and farming affairs.

Now that all the renovation and water conservancy in Guangling are on the right track, and Jiangnan is about to be pacified, it should be very suitable to transfer Chen Qun to Wuhui to engage in farming infrastructure in the next few years.

Guan Yu did not intervene to interfere with Zhuge Jin's deployment, but waited for Zhuge Jin to finish the distribution of these instructions before humbly asking: "What Zhang Zhao said just now, may you see a flaw?" Does Sun Ce have any other conspiracy? ”

Zhuge Jin touched his beard and said thoughtfully: "To be honest, I can't see the slightest flaw from Zhang Zhao, but there is also a possibility, that is, Sun Ce no longer trusts Zhang Zhao, and when he was planning to break the situation, he even deceived Zhang Zhao together."

Maybe...... It was Zhang Zhao and others who were facing this desperate situation and had the idea of wavering and surrendering, so Sun Ce didn't trust them. If we cooperate with them in this matter, it will not help to destroy the grandson.

However, it is indeed of certain help to use the talents left by the Sun family after the destruction of the grandson, to stabilize the Danyang place, and to win the support of the scholars and the hearts of the people. So in the long run, it's not a bad thing, just play it if you can cooperate. Sun Ce really wants to have another conspiracy, and we have a way to deal with it. ”

Guan Yu listened, pondered for a while, and also understood this Taoist ideal.

There are some things, even if they don't help the military campaign to destroy Sun, but as long as they help the rule and the hearts and minds of the people after the war, then you should spend some energy and resources to do it.

Let those "outcasts" under Sun Ce see Sun Ce's distrust of them and abandon them, which is also beneficial for these people to do things for Liu Bei in the future.

In that case, let's take it one step at a time.

……

The next day, Zhang Zhao, who returned to Moling City, took more than 10,000 old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children that Sun Ce had organized, and drove them out of the city with a white flag.

Zhuge Jin and Guan Yu were already ready to receive it.

And in order to avoid misfire, but also to show his benevolence and generosity of not taking the people as a meat shield, Liu Beijun deliberately chose to retreat to ten miles outside the city to line up and pull the net, so as to give the people enough time to go out of the city gate and re-line without worrying about being sneak attacked.

If Cao Cao encountered such a situation, he would definitely choose to secretly ambush the people and horses closer to the city gate, and then wait for the city gate to open, and then rush directly to mix with the people to rush and kill the door, and use the people as human shields to cover himself in the chaos. Just like what he did to Yecheng in "Romance".

But Liu Bei definitely can't do this, Zhuge Jin is responsible for the ruling order and people's hearts in the Jiangnan region in the future, and would rather give up this opportunity to take the innocent people as the forerunner and drive the people to help you fight the free vanguard to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city.

In the end, when the people were finished and the city gate was closed, Liu Beijun pulled the search net and slowly covered it, dividing the people into batches to receive and resettle.

Seeing the proportion of the old, weak, sick and disabled and women and children in the crowd, Guan Yu also despised Sun Ce a little:

"Hmph, the first time I let people out of the city, it was really just to test our reaction and see if we were willing to accept it, so a man in the prime of life didn't let him out, this is a clear show that he is simply throwing off the burden and consuming our food!"

Zhuge Jin didn't care, and comforted Guan Yu: "It's okay, it's the first time, I'm afraid that the hemp rod will hit the wolf at both ends, Sun Ce is throwing stones to ask for directions." We can't let our guard down, because if nothing happens today, we feel that Sun Ce will not engage in conspiracy.

Everything is afraid that one truth will suddenly be mixed in the nine falsehoods, and every time we receive it in the future, we must remain vigilant, and we must not give Sun Cejun the opportunity to mix in the people and take advantage of the situation to cover up and make trouble. The people who received it should also be closely screened, and everyone should be searched to ensure that they did not carry weapons. ”

Guan Yu nodded, indicating that he would care.
