In October of the eighth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan's soldiers were 10,000 and approached Peng Ze.

The warships that stretched for several miles were like giant dragons entrenched on the river, and more than 10,000 people disembarked one after another, guns and halberds were like forests, and flags were fluttering. Sun Quan camped more than ten miles outside the city, and sent Qin Song into Pengze to persuade him to surrender.

At this time, Huo Jun and Liu Zhong were checking the garrison materials in the city and recording the men, women, and elders in the city. Historically, offensive and defensive battles seem to have a large difference in numbers, but in fact there are often more defending personnel than there are on paper. Where the population comes from, it often depends on the people in the city.

Among the people, the able-bodied men were given priority to be recorded as reserves; Women can be used to carry supplies. Even the elderly and children have corresponding tasks, such as distributing food and collecting other supplies.

As for whether he is willing or not, it is not within Huo Jun's consideration. In the face of war, it is not voluntary, it is mandatory.

Now Huo Jun is verifying the population number, in order to arrange tasks for these people.

Huo Jun pointed to the mountains in the south of the city and commanded: "The mountains in the south of the city are full of trees, and it will be cold today, so you can cut down the trees for the winter!" ”

"The city needs to be vigilant against the poor, to prevent the details of the trouble, the people in the city to verify the truth, issue wooden cards, ten households for a first, if there are households hidden and do not report, should be disposed of by sitting together." Huo Jun said in a deep voice.

"No!"

As I said before, the most important thing to do in the defense of the city is to avoid problems in the city, and to prevent the poor people today, not to look down on the poor people. It is that among the poor people, it is easiest to hide spies and become the enemy's internal response.

The scout rushed to Huo Jun's body and said, "General Qiyu, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses have been camped more than ten miles away, and today we will send an envoy into the city to persuade them to surrender." ”

"Persuasion?"

The corners of Huo Jun's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Let that messenger enter the city to answer." ”

"No!"

……

In the mansion, Huo Jun was sitting in danger and met with Qin Song.

Qin Song was dressed in Confucian clothes, looked at the people on the couch, and saw that he was not as young as Zhao Yun, so he saluted and said, "Under Qin Song, Qin Wenbiao." Today, on the orders of my lord, I have come to meet the general. I don't know if the general is the main general in the city? ”

Huo Jun smiled slightly and said, "Under Huo Jun, Huo Zhongmiao is the main general in the city. I wonder what Mr. has to offer? ”

Qin Song's intelligence was a step slower, and at the moment, he still thought that the person in charge was still Zhao Yun. But he didn't know that Huo Jun had taken over the defense of Pengze City, and Zhao Yun had troops on top of Haoshan.

Qin Song saw that Huo Jun was young and not as famous as Zhao Yun, so he felt a little contempt in his heart, and said: "Today, my family master leads 30,000 troops, and the west refers to Yuzhang to cut off the river. There are also Cheng Demou as 10,000 soldiers, from Danyang to Yuzhang. Your army is about to be defeated, so why should the general do useless work. ”

"It's better for the general to lead the people to surrender, bow to the official and confer knighthood, and serve my lord!"

Huo Jun pretended to groan and said: "Sun begged for 30,000 soldiers, Jun is really invincible. However, Jingzhou has an order, and those who can defend the city for a month will not be harmed by their families. Jun didn't dare to disobey it. I don't know if Mr. can tell Sun to take prisoners, and after 30 days, he will go out of the city and surrender to the general. ”

Qin Song thought that he could see Huo Jun's cowardice, and scolded him sharply: "With 30,000 troops here, Huo Junmo thinks you can hold on for how many days?" Don't tie your hands and surrender to the Lord today, otherwise the blade will go straight down, and Peng Ze will be all rubble! ”

Huo Jun's face was timid, he hesitated a little, and said, "Sir, can you let Jun think about it for a few days?" ”

"The general should be a quick decision!"

Qin Song saw that the effect had been achieved, and it was not easy to be overly persecuted, so he smiled warmly: "Today, 30,000 troops are outside, and the general will enjoy wealth and wealth when he surrenders." If you wait for the Lord to attack the city, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Although Huo Jun was disdainful in his heart, his face was cooperative, and he said with a humble smile: "Let Jun think about it for a few days." ”

Qin Song raised his sleeves and asked casually, "I have a relationship with General Zilong, I don't know where he is now?" ”

Huo Jun was slightly embarrassed and said, "General Zilong has been transferred back to Yuzhang by the eldest son. ”

"Huh?"

Qin Song's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had heard some information, and said, "General Zilong is not under the command of Liu Bei, why was he transferred back to Yuzhang by the eldest son?" ”

Huo Jun just smiled awkwardly, as if as a cover-up.

Qin Song gained a little, arched his hand and said, "The general should make a quick decision, relax and retire." ”

After Qin Song left, Huo Jun changed his previous timid appearance, his demeanor was calm, and his eyes were sharp.

Zhao Yun walked straight out from behind the sword and asked, "Zhong Miao is a delaying strategy?" ”

Huo Jun picked up the tea cup on the desk, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, this is the strategy of the arrogant soldiers!" ”

Zhao Yun knelt on the side of the couch and asked suspiciously, "Didn't Zhong Miao want to deceive that Qin Song for thirty days?" ”

Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Zilong Mo thinks that there is no one in Sun Quan's army? ”

Zhao Yun was at a loss again, and asked, "Since Zhong Miao expected that the wise and resourceful people in Sun Quan's army could see through this plan, why did he use it for thirty days?" ”

Huo Jun put down the teacup and explained: "Jun is timid to treat it today, and the people of Jiangdong will be proud in their hearts." and for thirty days, let him think that he had a plan. If Jun is not bad, tomorrow Sun Quan will lead his troops outside the city, show off his might, and force Jun to make a decision early, go out of the city to surrender, or raise his army to attack. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun suddenly realized and said: "Zhong Miao wants to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness tomorrow and go out of the city to attack the thief." ”

"Exactly!"

Huo Jun spread out the map of Peng Zecheng and said: "The day before yesterday, Jun said that if he didn't compromise his troops, he would be afraid that people would be uneasy. Today's enemy is not more than 10,000 people, and it is a good opportunity to persuade them to surrender today, and they have the intention of despising me. When it is taken by surprise, the cavalry is frightened, and when its array is disturbed, the elite covers it, and it will break its army, which can be calculated. ”

Occupy Haoshan in advance, condescending, and basically see the details of Sun Quan's army clearly by the scouts. Qin Song's bluffing strategy had already been figured out by Huo Jun. Seeing that Qin Song thought he had a plan, Huo Jun also followed his thoughts and accompanied him to act.

Later, Qin Song's cliché, Huo Jun's improvised performance, made Qin Song think that Liu Qi and Liu Bei had a conflict, picked Zhao Yun back, and sent the 'unknown' Huo Jun to guard it. After all, since Zhao Yun arrived in Pengze, Zhao Yun has been stationed on the mountain, and rarely appears in front of everyone.

Zhao Yun lifted his spirits and arched his hand and said, "Please Huo Jingbei command!" ”

"Tomorrow ......, that's it!"

……

Jiangdong military camp, inside the big tent.

Qin Song looked at Sun Quan in the high position and said, "Song has fulfilled his mission and has found out the information in the city. And persuaded by Song to surrender, the main general Huo Jun has already intended to surrender, and he is still considering it. ”

Sun Quan was shocked and asked, "There is a Lao Wen watch, but come quickly!" ”

"No!"

The second brother who took the lead started his performance, telling how he lied about his soldiers and horses and deceived the young Huo Jun; how to intimidate Huo Jun when Huo Jun hesitated; Finally, through his astuteness, he probed the process of possible contradictions between Shuangliu. The ups and downs of the description are fascinating.

"Color!"

Sun Quan took the lead in applauding and cheered: "Mr. really has the style of a celebrity!" ”

"Don't dare!"

Qin Song's face was slightly pale, and he said: "Your command, Huo Jun has a period of thirty days, I am afraid that there is a sense of delay. should also force him to submit and let him surrender the city. ”

Sun Quan turned his head to look at Zhang Hong and asked, "What does the east think?" ”

Zhang Hong pondered for a while and said: "If according to the text, Huo Jun's troops are on the vast mountain, and he is strictly fortified against the city, there should be a long-term defense, so there is a 30-day period. The command can be said from the text, tomorrow the army will be deployed outside the city, so as to Weihe the people in the city. ”

"If it does not surrender, it should be sent to take the mountain. At that time, it will be condescending, and the transfer in the city will be unobstructed, and the city will be broken! ”

In ancient times, there were no airplanes, and no satellites orbited overhead. The view is through the city walls, and the layout of the city can hardly be seen. This is also why watchtowers are built in the army, in order to rely on the height, condescending, observe the enemy's situation, and facilitate the movement of the army.

Zhao Yun and Huo Jun fancy Haoshan, how could Zhang Hong, who has strategic vision, not see Haoshan!

Sun Quan also took the case and ordered: "Come on, set up outside the city tomorrow to raise the prestige of our army." ”

"No!"
