Encouraging surrender to no avail!

Next, the Wu army took advantage of its military strength and surrounded the capital, Quanling City, cutting off contact with the outside world.

And when Lu Meng suspected that the barbarians were disguised as Jingzhou reinforcements, Pan Zhang couldn't help but feel jealous of himself.

He led his cronies out of the camp and arbitrarily plundered people's property on the pretext of checking for spies.

Wherever he went, residential buildings outside the city, powerful manors, and county government treasuries all became places for plunder by his troops.

Anyone who dares to resist will be greeted by the shining butcher knife.

Heads fell to the ground.

After looting for more than three days in a row, Pan Zhang and his cronies collected the wealth of the people, and looked at the countless gold, silver, jewelry and other properties. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be very satisfied.

Then he returned with a full load.

All Lingling was left was a mess.

And with Pan Zhang's indiscriminate looting, not only the common people in Lingling, but also the local powerful were secretly indignant towards Wu Jun.

On the way back to the camp, a tall, burly young man about eight feet tall, with a flushed face, hesitated for a long time, and then said:

"General, we have been looting nearby places in the past few days. Will this move make the people of Lingling feel resentful and unanimously hostile to our army?"

"If General Lu knew about this, he might be angry with you?"

The young man persuaded with a worried tone.

"Ma Zhong, why are you so timid?"

"This is not the first time that you have followed me to plunder the enemy. Even if the lord knew about it before, he did not say that I was not the general. What can Lu Ziming do to me?"

As soon as he said this, Pan Zhang shouted loudly, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Besides, didn't I say that if I were asked about this, the unanimous response was that we were doing the inspection to prevent it from happening.

There are reinforcements from Jingzhou mixed in."

"As for the current situation, it is all caused by the failure of this group of ants to cooperate."

"well!"

After finishing the conversation, Ma Zhong knew that doing so might cause great hidden dangers, but when he saw that Pan Zhang was not worried at all at this moment, he could only sigh helplessly.

He is just a member of the tribe under his command, and he is ignored.

Pan Zhang was right. Even if this matter was brought to the attention of Marquis Wu, he would probably be biased in his favor.

He is greedy by nature, and this is not the first time he has committed robbery. Relying on Sun Quan's favor, even Jiangdong generals sneered at his behavior, but there was nothing he could do!

After Pan Zhang and his troops evacuated and returned to the camp.

In a mountain valley, a heavily armed tribe was currently stationed.

Zhang Yi and Liu Yin looked at each other, and both of them smiled bitterly unconsciously.

"Did Wu Jun notice any clues?"

"You actually search people's homes?"

"If we hadn't retreated in time, I'm afraid our army's hidden whereabouts would have been exposed by now."

For a moment, Liu Yin suddenly said with some fear.

Hearing this, Zhang Ni thought for a while and then thought: "It should be just that the enemy army was suspicious and came to conduct a routine search."

"However, Wu Jun's behavior this time has completely pushed public opinion to the side of our army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yin also agreed with his face: "It is true that the people of Lingling County have lost the support of the people based on the indiscriminate looting and looting done by the Wu people in recent days."

"When this matter spreads and spreads, it will also arouse unanimous resistance from the entire people of Jingzhou."

"We were ordered by General Zhao to disperse and lurk outside the city and act according to the opportunity. I think we can secretly appease the hearts of the soldiers and people and make them hibernate together."

"After the general gives the signal to attack, our army can mobilize the people to launch a full-scale attack on the Wu army below the city."

"Xiuren, this is a great idea!"

"In that case, you and I will go our separate ways."

"good!"

After the two quickly reached a consensus, they took advantage of the darkness and used the cover of night to sneak back into various houses and continue to hide.

…

Within the city.

In each of the houses, groups of sergeants were hidden.

Hidden for many days.

To this day, no order to attack has been issued, and the soldiers in each department are already filled with deep suspicion.

"Old Li, how long do you think our troops will need to hide in civilian houses?"

"Well, who knows, there are orders from above, but I don't know what the general's plan is."

The two people chatting in the dark night were the leaders of each team. They led one team and hid in a family.

"But the general has always been full of clever tricks since the southern expedition. He must be plotting against Wu Gou outside the city."

Known as Lao Li, this person has an active mind and thought for a while before replying.

Then he said: "Old Zhou, what are your plans for returning to Jingzhou this time?"

Known as Lao Zhou, this man was tall and tall, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist. He looked like a strong man from the south of the Yangtze River.

He pondered for a while and said: "What other plans are there? Of course, I want to strive to kill the heads of several Wu dogs in this battle to break the Wu army to gain fame and rewards!"

"My hometown is in Qujiang, Guiyang County. It has been captured by Wu dogs. If we don't annihilate all the Wu people, how can we return home?"

"Besides, when I chose to join the army, I boasted so much to my wife and children at home. If I didn't make a name for myself in the army, I wouldn't have the face to face it."

"Haha, old Zhou, you are being hypocritical. I hope that after this battle is over, I can return to Jiangling to recuperate for a while. My wife was pregnant before I entered Shu."

"Counting the time, the child should be born. I don't know whether it will be a boy or a girl."

This scene is just a microcosm of the current hidden sergeant room!

The soldiers in each department don't understand what their general's intentions are and how long they need to hide it.

Between counties.

At this time, the prefect Hao Pu and the army soldier Ma Su were standing on both sides of Zhao Tong, staring at the map hanging on the screen in front of them with a candlelight.

For a long time, Hao Pu couldn't help but ask: "The Wu army has been besieging the city for more than ten days, but I don't know what Lu Meng is doing?"

"With Lu Meng's eyes, he must be able to see that Quanling City is conducive to defense. He does not want to waste his soldiers in such a fortified battle. According to his opinion, he is still looking for someone who can make Governor Hao surrender to the city and defeat them without bloodshed.

The law of the city.”

As soon as this statement came out.

Hao Pu said firmly for a moment: "General, please rest assured, even if Pu is killed in battle, he will never surrender to the Wu army."

Hao Pu thought Ma Su was trying to test his words, so he immediately assured him loudly.

only.

At this time, Zhao Tong's eyes were extremely clear and he said slowly: "No, Governor Hao, if Lu Meng persuades you to surrender again, you agree to surrender the city."

"What...what does this mean?"

Looking at Hao Pu with a suspicious look on his face, Zhao Tong kept his expression the same, waved his hand and said: "I have my own arrangements, just do it like this, Governor Hao!"

"Here!"

While the three of them were chatting, the patrolling soldiers quickly rushed into the mansion and quickly raised their hands and reported: "To the Lord of the mansion, there is a person outside the city who wants to see you."

"This man calls himself Deng Xuanzhi, and he is a close friend of the emperor. Do you want to let him in?"

"Huh? Deng Xuanzhi, Lord of the Palace, the rest of the drama will be left to you. Let's avoid it first."
