Four hundred and sixtieth chapters afraid of death
More important things?
Yan Liang suddenly became interested and motioned to Pang Tong to continue.
"When Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he killed so many heroes in Jiangdong that everyone secretly resented him. Later, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne and changed his tune. He instead recruited and appointed the powerful Jiangdong families. Only then did the powerful Jiangdong people gradually succumb. Now Sun Quan even
The defeat is in danger, and the Jiangdong clan's people must also be in danger. There are many people who want to sit on the fence. Isn't this the time for the master to use his plan?"
Pang Tong stroked his short beard and explained his strategy eloquently.
Yan Liang immediately understood that Pang Tong was suggesting that he engage in psychological warfare and break down the will of Moling City from within.
Attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom priority. This is the way to advance the army.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, deeply convinced.
Other generals such as Lu Meng also realized the wisdom of Pang Tong's strategy, and they all suppressed their thoughts of attacking by force and supported Pang Tong's motion.
The military meeting was decided, and not long after, Yan Liang sent the order and launched a powerful offensive against Moling City.
First of all, Yan Liang ordered Pang Tong to write an "Essay against Sun Ce" in his own handwriting. In the appeal, Pang Tong enumerated Sun Ce's murderous crimes when he invaded Jiangdong, in order to arouse the buried hatred of Jiangdong heroes.
After denounced Sun Ce, Pang Tong wrote a special book about Sun Quan's incompetence, jealousy of talents, and killing of loyal and good people, and summarized and listed Sun Quan's ten crimes.
Finally, Pang Tong called on Jiangdong's soldiers and civilians to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, abandon Sun Quan, the mediocre leader, and throw themselves into the arms of Yan Liang, the current hero. Pang Tong also warned Jiang's soldiers and civilians that if they continued to help the evil tyrants, Yan Liang would do nothing to them after the city was destroyed.
Punish without mercy.
Of course, Pang Tong's "Essay on Discussing Sun" was naturally signed in the name of Yan Liang.
When the call for writing was completed, Yan Liang ordered all the scholars and literati near Danyang County to be conquered and ordered them to copy it overnight. In a few days, more than 100,000 copies were copied.
Yan Liang then sent some of the more than 100,000 messages in detail deep into the hinterland of Sanwu, dispersed them widely in various counties, divided them all together, and used strong bows and crossbows to shoot them all into the city of Moling.
As a result, tens of thousands of messages were fired into the city, which soon had a considerable psychological impact on the soldiers and civilians in the Jiangdong capital.
Over the years, Sun Quan repeatedly raised troops to fight against Yan Liang, but without exception he was defeated. Countless men of Sanwu died fighting for him. The elders of Jiangdong felt sad and angry about this.
Moreover, in the previous battle of Chaisang, Sun Quan, regardless of the disadvantage of insufficient food and grass, repeatedly forced food and grass from the people of Jiangdong and the powerful families, which aroused even more complaints.
For all these reasons, the people of Jiangdong were actually quite disappointed with Sun Quan.
Nowadays, Sun Quan was defeated and Moling was besieged. The soldiers and civilians of the city were in danger, and they complained even more about Sun Quan's incompetence.
Therefore, under the "incitement" of tens of thousands of copies of the "Complaint Against Sun", the resentment of Moling soldiers and people towards Sun Quan grew day by day.
While engaging in psychological warfare, Yan Liang was not idle and was seizing the time to prepare for the final siege.
Because in less than half a month, Yan Liang fought with Lianjie, and fought from Wankou to the foot of Moling City in one go. The logistics supply line suddenly stretched to five to six hundred miles long. Even with the convenience of water transportation on the Yangtze River, such a long supply line
, after all, it also made it more difficult for Jingzhou to supply food.
Yan Liang carried out psychological warfare while urging Jingzhou's rear to transport grain to the front. Only when enough grain and grass were gathered, he launched a general attack on Moling City.
While Yan Liang was high-spirited and preparing for the siege in an orderly manner, Sun Quan in the city was living a miserable life.
Lu Su, who escaped from Wuhu, only brought back less than 8,000 remnant troops. Including the original garrison of Moling City, Sun Quan only had more than 13,000 troops at his disposal.
Thirteen thousand people were in panic, but they had to face Yan Liang's fifty thousand army outside the city.
In desperation, Sun Quan could only order Zhu Huan, He Qi and other generals to be transferred from Wu and Kuaiji counties, and immediately led thousands of troops who were on guard against Shanyue to rush to Moling for reinforcements.
In addition, Sun Quan also issued an order to recruit powerful servants and private soldiers in the city, and temporarily organized a new army to strengthen Moling's defense.
However, just after Sun Quan issued this order, he encountered a headache.
In the lobby of the military mansion, Sun Quan was holding the "Essay on Discussing Sun" in his hand, his face was livid, his whole body was shaking with anger, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred.
It was this proclamation that greatly moved Moling's people, and many powerful people refused to requisition their servants, children, and guests for various reasons.
One day after the order was issued, Sun Quan had only recruited less than three thousand new troops, and most of them were old, weak and disabled.
Sun Quan suddenly had a premonition. He felt that the soldiers and people in Moling were about to abandon him.
Hua Hua Hua——
Furious, Sun Quan frantically tore the silk book in his hand into pieces and threw them everywhere.
"Bring the wine!" Sun Quan yelled angrily.
The maids on the left and right didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly brought the wine that had been prepared in advance. They knew that their angry lord would drink wine to drown his sorrows as usual at this time.
When the wine was served, Sun Quan poured himself one cup after another, wishing he could get himself drunk right away so that he could forget the predicament he was in.
No one dared to report the news to Wu Guotai again, because after being scolded by his mother that time, Sun Quan became ruthless, saying that anyone who dared to report the news to Wu Guotai again would have his nine tribes destroyed.
"Yan Liang, thief, do you think I, Sun Quan, are afraid of you? I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, just attack the city. What kind of slogans can you make? It's ridiculous. I don't think any man or woman in this city dares to betray me!"
Sun Quan was cursing while gushing himself, showing his confidence.
Footsteps sounded, and two people walked into the lobby outside the door. The two people who walked into the lobby were none other than Lu Su and Zhang Zhao.
One was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and the other was the head of the civil service. When faced with such a critical situation, they both came to Sun Quan to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy.
When Sun Quan saw the two men coming in, he ignored them and continued drinking.
"My lord, Stone City is the throat of Moling, and it must be Yan Liang's key point of attack. Su thinks we should add two thousand more troops to strengthen the defense." Lu Su raised his hand and spoke.
"Two thousand more troops?" Sun Quan got angry when he heard this and glared at Lu Su and said, "You have completely lost all my tens of thousands of troops. How can I still have two thousand troops to die for you?"
Sun Quan was also drunk, and he actually mocked Lu Su like this in public.
Lu Su's expression changed, and he suddenly became ashamed, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to do.
After returning from Wuhu, Lu Su knew that he could not escape his guilt, so he took the initiative to resign from Sun Quan and asked to be removed from the post of governor.
Although Sun Quan resented Lu Su in his heart, after thinking about it, he found that there was no one under his command who was qualified for the position of commander. With no one available, Sun Quan could only pretend not to blame, and continued to appoint Lu Su as the commander-in-chief, responsible for commanding the troops in Moling. city.
Being in a bad mood today and being drunk, Sun Quan spoke freely and vented his grievances against Lu Su.
Lu Su felt ashamed and did not dare to criticize, but Zhang Zhao, who came with him, couldn't help but his face darkened.
"My lord, what you said is wrong. Although Lu Zijing has suffered repeated defeats, the enemy he faced was a powerful figure in the world like Yan Liang. His defeat to this person was God's will. It was not a crime of war. My lord's reproach to Zi District,
I really disagree."
When Lu Su heard Zhang Zhao's defense, instead of being grateful, he complained secretly, thinking to himself, you are not trying to excuse me, it is just adding fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, when Sun Quan heard that Zhang Zhao kept claiming that Yan Liang was the "hero of the world", he became even more furious.
If it were anyone else, Sun Quan would have punished him by now. However, Zhang Zhaoyong was a very prestigious veteran, and Sun Quan had always been afraid of him. Although he was very angry in his heart, he did not dare to punish him.
The angry Sun Quan could only temporarily suppress his anger and asked coldly: "What a great hero in the world. Zibu seems to have a high opinion of Yan Liang. Then I would like to hear what Zibu has to do to defeat Yan Liang."
The Hero’s Siege.”
Zhang Zhao seemed not to take Sun Quan's anger and sarcasm seriously at all, and still held his head high, acting like an elder lecturing the younger.
He stroked his white beard and said slowly: "Yan Liang is both civil and military, with a rain of good generals and a cloud of advisers. Even Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the two Yuan Dynasties are no match for him. It is not an exaggeration to call him a hero of the world.
I think that if my lord wants to save a city from fire and water and preserve the Sun family's bloodline, there is only one way he can use it now."
Sun Quan first heard Zhang Zhao exaggerating about Yan Liang, and his heart became more and more angry. But when he heard Zhang Zhao say that he had a plan to solve the crisis in Moling today, he couldn't help but feel refreshed and his face was filled with joy.
"If Zibu has a clever plan to solve the current predicament, why don't you come quickly?" Sun Quan jumped up and asked excitedly.
Zhang Zhao coughed lightly and slowly revealed his two-word plan:
"Jiangyan."
Lose your beauty?
Sun Quan was confused for a moment, as if he thought he hadn't heard clearly, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Zhang Zhao, however, said seriously: "Now there are fifty thousand Yan Liangxiong soldiers outside Moling City, and the whole Yangzhou has been divided into two by him, and all our elite troops in the east of the Yangtze River have been lost, and the morale of the remaining soldiers is low. If we continue to resist stubbornly,
, which is no different from
An egg hits a stone. If the lord surrenders the land of Sanwu to Yan Liang at this time, with Yan Liang's courage, the lord will surely be protected in glory and wealth, and the soldiers and people of Sanwu will also be spared the poison of the war. This is a safe strategy.
"
Lu Su was shocked. He never expected that Zhang Zhao would actually propose a surrender strategy.
Sun Quan was also shocked. He never expected that an old minister he trusted and respected would persuade him to surrender to his mortal enemy in this critical moment.
"Zhang Zibu, my Sun family treats you well. I didn't expect that at this critical moment, you would actually feel rebellious!"
Sun Quan was shocked and angry, pointing at Zhang Zhao's nose and scolding him.
Zhang Zhao looked solemn and raised his hands and said: "My lord has misunderstood. This old man is just receiving the lord's kindness and considering my lord's wealth and life, so he made this move."
"For my life and fortune? Humph, I think you want to save your old life!"
Sun Quan could no longer suppress his anger. Murderous aura suddenly surged in his eyes. He waved his hands and shouted: "Come here, drag this ungrateful old man out and behead him!" (To be continued. Please search.
