Under the attention of everyone, Chen Shuren said such a noble argument in front of the soldiers of the two armies, which really made Liu Xiyao stunned and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Why are there any scholars in this world so shameless? The key is that people who don’t care about moral reputation, how did they read the Four Books and Five Classics and get into the Jinshi for two lists?

If you meet such a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, you will be in trouble for eight lifetimes.

After being surprised, he was angry with humiliation. Liu Xiyao couldn't help it. He picked up the knife himself and chopped off a distant nephew who was tied to the side by Wuhua.

The blood of the hostage's neck surged up one foot high, making Liu Xiyao's face ferocious, and he kept chopping the second one in his hand. If he hadn't been alone, he would have never expected to order the soldiers to chop them in a rage. The hostages would have died instantly.

Fortunately, his generals pleaded with mercy, and his adopted son Liu Sandao also climbed on his shoulder and whispered:

"Father, don't be reckless. I agreed yesterday that some hostages cannot be killed! We want to threaten Chen Shuren, kill a few people every day, and cut his flesh and blood to ruin his reputation. There is no need to use up all the handles at once!"

Liu Xiyao calmed down a little, put his knife in his arms and yelled at the top of the city:

"Official Shen Gou! Don't think your move is good! Xiang Yu wants shame, I'm shameless! Kill it if you say it! Kill 20% of the sacrifices and sacrifices today! Let the soldiers spread your domineering reputation everywhere! Send the rest until tomorrow and the next day! Kill until you come out to fight!"

The last few words are purely harsh words. After finding that killing hostages is useless, Liu Xiyao would not have to kill them all, otherwise he would have made many enemies in vain.

...

Seeing the thief retreat, the soldiers on the city wall looked increasingly sad and angry, and their morale rose a little.

The Shen Shuren saw it and was secretly satisfied, knowing that the morale of the army was available.

Generals like Zuo Zixiong were not very careful, but only expressed their absolute support for Chen Tongzhi and also hinted that "if the adults ask us to go out of the city to fight, we will definitely use our lives to bravely."

Of course, Chen Shuren persuaded them, saying that they should not raise troops because of anger.

Whether to fight or not can only be considered purely from a military perspective, and you must be responsible for the lives of the soldiers and should not be disturbed by external factors.

This statement naturally made him win the morale of the army even more.

Many soldiers were moved, especially those who had some knowledge and knew how much the current emperor was, and how easily they were angry with local officials because they wanted to be killed. They knew best how much pressure the Tongzhi actually took.

After seeing off the military officer, only literati such as Zhao Yunfan, Zhang Huangyan and Gu Yanwu were left beside Chen Shuren.

Zhao Yunfan has the worst personal relationship with him, so he couldn't help but take the opportunity to remind him:

"Sir, I just said that although I temporarily gave up Liu Xiyao, it was a bit of a hindrance. Don't mention Liu Bang's example in the future. Even if we want to explain our army's position, we can change the wording. Those relatives of ministers in the court were captured and killed by thieves in the Huangzhou area, which will ultimately be unfavorable to your political achievements."

Chen Shuren didn't care: "I'm in a hurry to be in power for military interests. If Liu Bang didn't say that, and chose to fight Xiang Yu alone, would he improve the situation? He would only sacrifice in vain and could nothing be saved.

What's more, in front of the two armies, there are all civil and military men and empty words. Who would gossip about what happened today? Liu Xiyao wanted to ruin my reputation. Does the court need to believe it?

Even if the person who dislikes me hears the thief's retelling and letters, he still provokes the disagreement. As long as we say we don't hear it, those who sue me are framed by loyal and kindness and are the mouthpieces of the thief! I want to see, there are a few shameless people in this Qizhou County who dare to be ungrateful."

Chen Shuren was not worried at all. Now it was October of the 13th year of Chongzhen. Even if there was trouble in the future, it would take half a year later. Moreover, this kind of verbal lawsuit could not be clearly revealed.

He even wished that the court would send Jinyiwei to investigate in the future. Then he happened to see how many people in the Huangzhou area would not be in the same mind as him, and that the body would be completely cleaned up by then.

His subordinates should slowly get used to it. For the sake of everyone's interests, they have to hurry to follow the power in some matters and cover up the situation for the Shangguan.

Zhao Yunfan also had some experience. After a little thought, he realized that Tongzhi was trying to win over the interests of a small group. Now in this end of the world, this kind of idea is not considered a different ambition, such as Zuo Liangyu next door, too.

The three people present were relatively distant, so he certainly had to be more tactful. Soon he made an excuse to make a few words, haha, saying that he had not finished some of his official duties and was no longer able to finish his business.

...

After Zhao Yunfan and Gu Yanwu left, only cousin Zhang Huangyan was left, and there seemed to be a few words to say.

Zhang Huangyan led troops to fight, which was different from those pure civil servants. He organized some words and advised:

"Cousin, are you really not going to pursue Liu Xiyao? The court sent you to be the Tongzhi of Huangzhou, which was to let you recover the entire territory of Huangzhou. Liu Xiyao will fight sooner or later.

If he is let go back, even if he cannot quickly recruit troops to restore his strength, at least in the future, our army will have to bear the disadvantage of the siege. Now that he has lost most of his elite troops, he is not afraid of it even though he has a large number of people!

Our army is also very morale, even if the troops are less than half of the enemy, we can fight! You and I are familiar with military history books. In my opinion, today's situation is very similar to the cavalry attack on Qi!

In the past, Le Yi was killed and sentenced to the prisoners of Qi outside Jimo City to be punished (cut the nose), and also dug the ancestral tombs of Qi people to intimidate the Qi army. But what happened? It only attracted the Qi army to become more and more united in the enemy, willing to fight for Tian Dan and destroy the Yan army with the fire cattle formation.

Now Liu Xiyao has taken rebellious actions, taking hostages outside the city and killing innocent people, burning, killing and looting, and brutality is far beyond the cavalry, and the morale of the army is available!"

When Chen Shuren heard this, he finally showed a little relieved smile: "Of the three of you, only cousin, you are a civil and military genius. Not bad, neither Zhao Yunfan nor Gu Yanwu can see this. I am familiar with military tactics, so how could I not know this?

However, Tian Dan used the Fire Cow Formation, and he did not take action immediately as soon as he digs his grave and sniffs. The person who had just finished the violence was excited and did not know how to fear, so that they would consume one thing, so that they would lose their energy and lose all their energy. When his soldiers were exhausted and felt that they would not fight again, they would suddenly come to achieve the best results.

Similarly, although our army is angry now, if I raise troops due to anger, the soldiers will always have a knot in their hearts, thinking that our army was forced by Liu Xiyao. If they push it, they will feel that the general is incompetent and fall into Liu Xiyao's plan.

The most important thing to use new recruits is to attack the heart and to manipulate people's hearts. Let our soldiers feel that the enemy has been trapped before the war begins, and let the enemy feel that they have been trapped before the war begins. It is much more important than real trap. Don't worry, I have my own rhythm."

Zhang Huangyan then breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relieved.

It seems that my cousin has a comprehensive plan.

...

In the following days, Liu Xiyao did as persuaded his adopted son and his generals, and wanted to cut his flesh with a dull knife and come to the city to kill several hostages every day to fight. Chen Shuren still looked like a hob meat.

However, after putting on the hob, Shen Shuren looked at the civil and military officials in the city, and the military and civilians had another face.

For example, Shen Shuren will make people find ways to publicize and spread news, emphasize his infamous reputation, and say that he is so dandy and timid, and just wants to plunder himself.

All of this is to make Liu Xiyao believe that "Chen Shuren doesn't care about the lives and death of the people" and prevent more harm from the people--

Of course, Chen Shuren has another way of saying that the city is spreading outside the city. How could ordinary people think of such a far-sighted and curved attack strategy without anyone explaining it?

Therefore, it is necessary to arrange another person to spread deeper information. In a few days, the soldiers and civilians in the city were all moved: "Mr. Tongzhi is really a rare blue sky in ancient and modern times! He slandered his name, all for protecting us!"

At the same time, Chen Shuren was also ready to go to the battle at any time.

He also ordered Zhang Huangyan and Zuo Zixiong to quickly transform the prisoners, then pick out the angry young and strong people in the city, and teach them some simple tactical techniques to defend the city. When Chen Shuren goes out of the city to pursue, most of the task of defending the city will be borne by these people in case of an accident.

Time was delayed until mid-October, and Liu Xiyao had already harvested all the grains that he had previously harvested, and for the convenience of transportation, he even had threshed off.

After discovering that the 8,000 people under his command did not come out to fight, they were almost forced by their superiors to do farm work day and night, harvest and grab crops. They were so tired every day, but they did not dare to complain.

Everyone knows that the war will not continue. The only purpose of coming to Qizhou this time is to snatch away the grain. With more food, the army will be expanded after returning to Huanggang County.

Some of the potatoes and corn arranged by Shenshu people were also packaged and transported in the scope of being harvested and robbed by thieves, and then brought back to Huanggang first.

...

It was October 12th.

In the early morning, Shen Shuren had just received a report from the scout ship that was speeding back from the upper river last night, saying that he had discovered that Liu Xiyao's troops were preparing to withdraw.

Before the troops moved, the food and grass came first. Before the combat troops retreated, Liu Xiyao had already asked the chariots and horses that transported the robbed food to go on the road in advance and the combat troops would cut off the rear and protect it.

Chen Shuren has been doing psychological work for so many days, and this is the day he is waiting for.

Half past Mao, he immediately asked Zuo Zixiong to order the soldiers and soldiers to gather together.

The angry official army, who had been holding it in for many days, reacted very quickly, and it was all in just two cups of tea.

Chen Shuren patrolled the front row in a cold and silent manner, just like before the head of state's speech, first used the tool of "silence" to grasp people's hearts.

When the atmosphere became soaring and everyone was shuddering and did not dare to make noise, he spoke slowly and firmly:

"The soldiers, our officers have always put their lives and the welfare of the people first. They have never dared to fight unsure for their personal reputation and future in the officialdom.

These days, even though Liu Xiyao killed so many families of high-ranking officials in the court and threatened me with my future in the officialdom, I was not moved and even slandered my reputation!

However, today Liu Xiyao has snatched the grain and grass from the three counties of Qishui, and has snatched all the potatoes and corn seeds we originally planned to promote each county next year.

If Liu Xiyao goes back, he will force more good people to follow the thief and harm the Ming Dynasty! Many of you will be robbed of autumn grains and will not be able to survive this winter and next year's spring famine, and finally starve to death!

It’s not that I am wary, but that things have come to this point. We can’t bear it anymore and have no choice. I have prepared enough sand boats for you. Our army can take the Yangtze River route, detour from Qishui to Xishui, and intercept Liu Xiyao’s food and grass convoy.

Liu Xiyao has now completely relaxed. He would never have thought that our army would retreat for so long, and in the end he would dare to fight, and he would dare to detour his back. Therefore, he would be panicked. As long as he dares to fight in this battle, our army will win! Whether to make a great victory, regain food and grass, or starve to death in vain, let others laugh at it, it depends on your own choice! Let's set off!"

"Swear to kill Liu thief! Swear to kill Liu thief! Swear to kill Liu thief!" Zuo Zixiong was the first to take the lead and shout, and then more than 3,000 soldiers from the entire garrison shouted.
