Chapter five hundred and ninety-six songs from all sides
Night fell, and for Yuan Shao, this might be the most difficult day in his life. If possible, he hoped that all his former soldiers outside the city would die.
This is not a siege battle, it is clearly a battle to attack the heart. Chu Nan did not use a single soldier, but relied on these Jizhou surrender troops to make his army's morale chaotic. The entire Handan City was filled with a strong atmosphere of violence at this moment.
The generals' bodyguards are okay, no general treats his own bodyguards too badly. These are the people who protect themselves at critical moments, but every ordinary soldier seems to have been persuaded at this moment.
This is of course an illusion, but the horror of Chu Nan's plan is here. Even if only one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand people goes to the extreme, this emotion will spread quickly.
After all, there are inherent conflicts between the two sides.
Therefore, even if Yuan Shao knew Chu Nan's purpose of doing this, he was unable to change people's hearts. The generals could no longer trust their soldiers, and this distrust would undoubtedly further force the soldiers to stand against the generals.
In an army, if the generals and soldiers do not trust each other, it is simply a disaster. Yuan Shao, apart from asking the generals to take strict precautions, could not think of any feasible strategy. This order undoubtedly stimulated the soldiers even more.
But he had to do this, otherwise if he woke up tomorrow morning and one or two generals were killed because of this, that would be the time when trust completely collapsed.

This is a conspiracy. At least in this current situation, no one like Yuan Shao, Ju Shou, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xun family uncles and nephews can crack it.
Suddenly, Yuan Shao suddenly discovered that he did not have many people available for him. In the past, he had many talents under his command, but now only these are left. His own era, or the Yuan family's era, seems to have passed.
Yuan Shao raised his head and looked at the night. The night was exceptionally clear tonight, with the bright moon hanging high and stars all over the sky. Apart from the faint cold wind, there seemed to be no other sound between the sky and the earth, making it seem particularly quiet.
Defeat is decided!
Such thoughts suddenly arose in his mind. Yuan Shao sat weakly on the threshold, staring at the sky in a daze. He could not break the current situation. Chu Nan did nothing. He just asked a group of people to say something outside the city.
Words that were not important in the past could now kill Yuan Shao.
Are what those people said wrong?
Of course it is correct. Even Yuan Shao himself knew these things, but he could not change them.
Of course he was right. There were only so many official positions in the army, but the Jizhou gentry, the Yingchuan gentry who had defected, and other celebrities from all over the country were not enough. So what could the lower-level officers and soldiers do no matter how hard they worked?
The vast majority of people in this world can only stay at the bottom forever, and it is impossible to turn the other way around. He doesn't believe that Chu Nan doesn't understand this, but he uses this to confuse people's hearts. Yuan Shao really wants to see how he will end up in the future?
From the perspective of both of them, both are right, but two things that are right, from the perspective of the other person, are very wrong. It is impossible for Chu Nan to not understand, he just used this skillfully
To break one's own heart.
But again, even if he could see through the opponent's plan, Yuan Shao couldn't. In fact, it was not those people's words that caused the current chaotic situation, but Yuan Shao's current desperate situation.
In another place, if instead of Chu Nan's troops approaching Handan, and instead Yuan Shao led his troops to besiege Xuchang, would Chu Nan's words be useful?
There must be a little bit, but it will definitely not be as big as today. In the final analysis, it is those people who see that their situation is over and no longer want to follow them. This is the core. As for what the surrender troops outside the city said today, it is just
Just an inducement.
Chu Nan...
After thinking about this, Yuan Shao closed his eyes feebly. He couldn't understand how a small businessman who had always been on the opposite side of the world's scholars got to where he is today.
He couldn't even figure out why he lost?
A dignified man of four generations, but he lost to a pariah who was born as a trafficker and a pawn!
Is it ridiculous? It’s so ridiculous!
"Lord, please have some dinner." The general of Yuan Shao's family came to Yuan Shao with a dinner plate. Seeing Yuan Shao sitting on the threshold without any image, he did not dare to persuade him, but called softly.
Yuan Shao has not eaten all day today, but at this moment, he really has no desire to eat, so he waved his hand and said: "Put it down."
"Here!" The general put down his dinner plate and was about to leave when suddenly there was a noise outside the city. Even though he was far away, he could still hear it.
Obviously it was blessed by the military formation.
Yuan Shao stood up expressionlessly and looked outside the city: "What happened?"
"I'm going to inquire about it now, General Mo!" the general responded quickly and hurried out of the courtyard.
After a while, the family general, Ju Shou and others came in. Ju Shou saluted Yuan Shao and said, "My lord."
"The enemy attacked at night?" Yuan Shao frowned.
"No, but I'm afraid it will be more serious than the night attack!" Jushou said solemnly.
If it were a night attack, with the green energy protecting the city, Chu Nan would not have an advantage. It would even be more difficult than attacking the city during the day, but Chu Nan did not attack the city.
"Oh?" Yuan Shao asked as he walked towards the city wall: "Then why is it so noisy?"
"Chu Nan ordered the surrendered troops to gather in one place according to their hometowns and sing the songs of their hometowns." Jushou sighed.
"Besieged on all sides?" Yuan Shao sneered. He actually never quite understood why Xiang Yu had such a big reaction when he heard Chu Qu in history.
But the moment he climbed onto the tower, he suddenly understood Xiang Yu.
The ballads outside the city were not uniform, and they were all mixed and mixed. For Yuan Shao, who was not born in Jizhou, it was a bit of a headache to listen to them.
But the eyes of many soldiers in the city were red, and there were even faint sounds of wailing.
The war has been going on for almost a year. They have been retreating steadily. Now they are outnumbered and trapped in one place. Even Chu Nan, who has the advantage, will think of his family from time to time, let alone ordinary soldiers?
Nowadays, we are facing a situation where the city is destroyed and people are killed at any time. If they die in the battle, what will happen to their families? Even if Chu Nan Renyi does not embarrass the people, but they have lost the backbone of the family, how will they survive?
Will the mother-in-law remarry? Will she raise her own child? Will she treat him harshly?
Who will support the father and mother in the family? They have worked hard all their lives, but in their old age, they have no strength to work. If there is no one to support them, will they starve to death?
All kinds of pessimistic emotions gathered together with the sound of those songs. Looking outside the city, the Jizhou troops, under Chu Nan's signal, were arrogantly setting up clusters of bonfires outside the city, eating military rations, and there was a faint smell of meat.
Floating up, up and down the city wall, inside and outside the city, for the soldiers of the Jizhou Army who were still holding on, there was undoubtedly two worlds, one heaven and one hell. Although they did not know these two words, they felt like this.
The bonfire songs outside the city seemed to tell them that as long as they put down their weapons and go out of the city, they could be like them.
Haha~
On the tower, watching this scene, Yuan Shao suddenly laughed nervously. The depression in his chest suddenly burst out at this moment, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lord!" Jushu and Guo Tu quickly supported Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao pointed at the bonfire outside the city and laughed miserably: "Gu Ye once laughed at Xiang Ji, laughing at him for being a hero who was short of breath. His energy was misplaced by Chu Ge. He could obviously fight back to Jiangdong and make a comeback, but why did he kill himself like a coward? However, until
Only today did I realize how terrifying this song was. Chu Nan... a trafficker, Lu Bu, a lowly common man, a hero in the world. These two people are the ones I despise the most. I don’t want to be forced into such a desperate situation by these two people today!
Ridiculous, pathetic! The sky has no eyes!"
After saying that, he spit out another mouthful of blood.
Guo Tu said quickly: "Lord, don't say any more, go back and rest first, we will have a chance later!"
Chance?
Where are the opportunities?
Everyone knew very well that there was no chance, morale had collapsed, and even if Xu You and Tian Feng could persuade Jingzhou Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun Ce to send troops, they would not be able to catch up at this time.
After Yuan Shao vomited blood, he passed out. Everyone quickly sent him back to the government office, where he was looked after. However, when the soldiers around him saw this scene, they had other thoughts.
Why did the Lord faint suddenly?
Could it be that Handan cannot be defended?
Inexplicable emotions are brewing in my heart...
Chu Nan camp, Chu Nan stood on a camp gate, looking far in the direction of Handan City. Beside him, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Li Tong, Ji Ling, etc.
People lined up and looked at the city with Chu Nan, although most people didn't know what Chu Nan was looking at.
"Sir, can we break the city like this?" Looking at the Jizhou surrender troops singing and dancing at the bonfire in the distance, Ma Chao felt noisy and didn't understand the meaning of Chu Nan's move.
"There are some things that you will never understand if you have never experienced them." Chen Gong nodded. The most powerful thing about Chu Nan is his control over people's hearts. Many times, he won battles because he destroyed the enemy's morale, and then
Just won the battle.
But now, in Chen Gong's opinion, this incident is the most brutal of all Chu Nan's psychological battles.
"After tonight, even if the green energy of the city guard is still there, we can try to attack the city!" Guo Jia on the side suddenly said.
There are no variables left in this battle. The opponent's last support may be the green energy to protect the city. But if the army has no fighting spirit, even without the support of the battle formation, the soldiers will be able to attack the Handan city.
"But it's time for Yuan Shao to rest in peace. This is such overlord treatment!" Liu Ye sighed leisurely.
Guo Jia nodded and was about to say something when he went to see Chu Nan. Suddenly he looked away, waved his hand and said: "The overall situation has been decided. Inform the soldiers of each battalion to return to camp and rest. The generals of each battalion will be prepared tonight. If the other side wants to make a comeback, tonight
This is your last chance, don’t give the other party a chance to take advantage of it!”
"No need to continue?" Ma Chao asked subconsciously, but Chen Gong looked at him and silently shut up.
"Yuan Shao's strength has been exhausted. If he continues, the effect will not be better than now." Chu Nan didn't care about Ma Chao's talk. He looked at him and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will be able to break the city!"
