However, when Zhuge Yan was driven out of the Chinese army's tent, he discovered that this was not an enemy attack.
Instead, countless letters came in from outside the camp!
These letters were all pierced with arrows and then shot in from outside the camp.
At this time, a group of people who were awakened were gathering together and discussing the contents of the letter.
Zhuge Yan frowned and said, "Go get a letter and show it to Pontus!"
"yes!"
Liu Jinming immediately pulled out an arrow stuck on the pillar of the military camp and quickly sent it to Zhuge Yan.
When I took it and took a look, the five big characters "Letter to Brothers" on it were particularly conspicuous.
"Oh, childish!"
Zhuge Yan looked disdainful.
He didn't know how many surrender letters he had seen with such a clichéd beginning, but they were usually given to others by him.
"Hmph, I want to see what you can do to impress these soldiers of mine!"
Zhuge Yan sneered, tore open the envelope, spread it out and took a look, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked shocked.
Because the handwriting on the letter in front of me is so majestic and flying that it cannot be written by ordinary hands.
But the sentence at the beginning, "Hello brothers from Yan State, I am Zhao Xiaole, the captain of Chuzhou" confused Zhuge Yan.
He has never seen a surrender letter written in vernacular. This is really embarrassing for a scholar!
Zhuge Yan frowned and continued to look down.
"Hello brothers from Yan State, I am Zhao Xiaole, the captain of Chuzhou. Everyone likes to call me Mr. Zhao, or Captain Zhao to show their respect for me."
"But I don't like this title."
"Because to me, they are all my brothers, brothers who have gone through life and death together!"
"Similarly, Jingguo and Yanguo also have such a relationship!"
"Once upon a time, Jing and Yan fought together against the tyrannical Yu. In the end, we defeated this cruel tribe together!"
"At that time, we trusted each other so much that we were even willing to sacrifice our lives for each other!"
I don't know why, but when he saw this sentence, Zhuge Yan suddenly felt a numb feeling on his spine.
Because this sentence suddenly evoked some memories in his mind.
Twenty years ago, both Jingyang and Yan State encountered an unprecedented crisis.
At that time, on the grassland, an overlord suddenly emerged who swept the world.
He quickly unified the entire grassland at lightning speed, and then moved down from the north, preparing to unify the entire Zhongzhou.
At that time, both Jingyang and other countries were hit by an unprecedented impact.
In just a few months, their capital was defeated by the tribe calling itself "Dayu". The royal family was forced to move south, and the country was about to be destroyed. So at that time, Jingyang, Yan, Jin, Dongyue and
South Vietnam formed the "Five-Nation Alliance" to jointly fight against Dayu.
Among them, the territories of Yan and Jingyang were closest to Dayu, so they received the most severe blows and formed the deepest friendship.
Therefore, for a long time after "Dayu" was destroyed, Jingyang and Yan State maintained friendly neighborly relations.
But the world has changed, and twenty years have completely wiped out the friendship between the two. Instead, due to years of war, the relationship between the two has long become incompatible, and they are jealous enemies whenever they meet!
Now that Zhao Xiaole mentioned this matter, it brought back the memories of many veterans, and there was a sigh in the military camp.
Zhuge Yan frowned, feeling bad in his heart.
But curiosity still forced him to continue reading.
"In this land, the blood of our ancestors also flowed!"
"So I feel that we should not be enemies whether you die or live, but we should be brothers!"
"Now that our brothers' armies have been cut off from food and grass, they can only satisfy their hunger with war horses."
"If this continues, all brothers will surely become starving corpses in the snow!"
"I cannot bear to see this tragic situation, so I have decided here that as long as you bring this letter to surrender, I am willing to treat you with courtesy and will never abuse or harm you."
"If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and both humans and gods will learn from it!"
The signature is Zhao Xiaole's name and a thumbprint. Look at the mark on it, because it was printed with blood!
When he saw this scene, Zhuge Yan felt that his body was shaking involuntarily. He said to Liu Jinming with trembling lips: "Quick, go and order people to collect this letter. Anyone who dares to hide it secretly will be killed!"
Hearing this sudden order, Liu Jinming looked at Zhuge Yan with a puzzled face and said: "Grand Governor, isn't this just an ordinary letter to persuade you to surrender? Why do you want to make such a big move? I don't believe it, Zhao Xiaole can really say that
You can’t touch our soldiers!”
There was a sense of arrogance on his face.
As Zhuge Yan's counselor, he knew very well how loyal these soldiers were to Zhuge Yan, and would never betray him for petty gains!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he faced Zhuge Yan's face that looked like he was about to eat someone!
Liu Jinming was startled, and then he saw Zhuge Yan gritting his teeth and saying to him: "What do you know? This letter is even more powerful than Jingyang's 100,000 troops!"
"Go quickly, if it's too late, I will definitely skin you!"
His words were extremely harsh, but Liu Jinming could clearly feel that there seemed to be a hint of fear in Zhuge Yan's tone.
This made Liu Jinming even more frightened.
How powerful must a letter be that can make the governor so frightened?!
He did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately shouted to Zhuge Yan's soldiers to collect the letters that had been sent to the military camp.
But even so, Zhuge Yan still felt a chill in his heart, which made his body tremble with cold.
Because this letter is simply amazing.
A few short words evoked a sense of identity in their hearts and reduced their hatred for each other. Although Zhuge Yan didn't want to admit it, he had to admire Zhao Xiaole's power.
Of course, the most powerful thing was that he was keenly aware that the food and grass in his camp had been cut off. This was the key!
Without this premise, these soldiers would not listen to him even if Zhao Xiaole told Da Tian.
But things are different now. The army is cut off from food and grass, and Chuzhou City cannot be captured for a long time. If this continues, they will have no choice but to die.
So in order to survive, people can do anything!
Zhuge Yan could clearly feel that there were suddenly dozens or even hundreds of pairs of malicious eyes around him.
They are like a pack of hungry wolves staring at you. As long as you reveal any flaw, they will pounce on you and snatch you away!
This feeling made Zhuge Yan extremely insecure. He quickly asked several soldiers to guard his side, while he looked around in great panic like a frightened rabbit.
