Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

The writing is very simple, mainly for the soldiers to read, and the writing is too complicated for them to understand.

Fazheng and Liu Yeren finished it very quickly.

Fazheng said: "My lord, this may not have any real effect, but it can reduce the resistance of Yecheng's defenders, and it can also alienate the soldiers in the city."

Liu Ye also said: "As long as we attack Yecheng for a few days, Yecheng's resistance will not be so strong."

"Okay." Seeing that the two most important advisers under his command agreed, Liu Zhang said with a smile, "Since you both think it's good, I'll order someone to transcribe a thousand letters and shoot them into the city!"

"My lord is wise!" Fazheng and Liu Ye said in unison.

Liu Zhang waved his hands at the two of them, and said, "Going alone is a big taboo for military strategists; working together is the best medicine! Although Yuan Shao has controlled Jizhou for many years, but the aristocratic family is self-interested, I intend to write a letter of persuasion three days later." , to persuade the aristocratic families in the city to surrender."

"If that's the case, Yecheng can be broken." Fazheng nodded.

When the city was attacked the next day, a thousand copies of the persuasion letter were copied, tied to arrows, and shot into the east, south, and west walls by Liu Zhang's archers.

Many soldiers found the white cloth tied on the arrow, and those who were curious immediately took off the arrow and untied the white cloth tied on it.

"Look, there are words on it." A soldier couldn't read, so he could only look around, "Who among you can read, come and read it to us!"

"I am Liu Zhang," a literate soldier came over, spread out the white cloth, and read out slowly.

"Yuan Shaoyuan is now in Bingzhou, but I have an army of [-], but I am close at hand. I have repulsed the reinforcements of Jizhou seven times, and the city will be broken in a few days. If you can leave the city and surrender, you can avoid death penalty and protect your wealth. If you resist stubbornly, After breaking the city, your family members will lose their lives."

After reading, he raised his head and looked around, "This is a letter of persuasion. Outside the city are Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses. They actually have 10 people. We, we may not be able to defend Yecheng!"

"What should I do?" Some people panicked immediately. The continuous defense of the city for several days had already made them frightened.

"Shall we surrender?"

"What are you talking about?" A general came over and asked curiously.

The literate soldier handed over the white cloth in his hand.

"What?" Tun Jiang asked.

"Liu Zhang's persuasion letter," the soldier replied, "he persuaded us to surrender, general, what should we do!"

"Let me see first!" General Tun took the white cloth and spread it out for a look, only to realize that he was illiterate. He smiled awkwardly, "It's not up to us to decide whether to surrender or not, it depends on General Wen. Young Master, how do they decide, don’t spread the word at this time, wait for me to ask General Wen to talk about it!”

After the Tun general finished speaking, he immediately went along the top of the city to look for Wen Chou.

"General Wen, the soldiers below found this." General Tun handed the white cloth to Wen Chou.

"This is the letter of persuasion!" Wen Chou opened it and exclaimed.

"A few soldiers under my command got it off the arrows shot by the enemy." General Tun explained.

After a while, another general came over, holding a white cloth in his hand, and before he reached Wen Chou, he said loudly, "General, it's not good!"

This was another letter of persuasion to surrender, and in just a few moments, two similar letters of persuasion appeared.

He knew that there must be more than two letters, "Quickly, collect these persuading letters immediately, and it is strictly forbidden for soldiers to communicate at this time!"

For three consecutive days, a total of [-] copies of the same persuasion letters were shot to the top of the city. Although Wen Chou ordered the confiscation of these persuasion letters, many of them were hidden by soldiers and circulated.

For these three days, the south gate was still attacked by the enemy every day, and the casualties increased day by day.

As time went by, the soldiers who were slightly injured before were ordered by the generals to return to the top of the city to help defend the city.

Three days later, the defenders of Yecheng discovered that the archers outside the city had shot arrows into the city. At first they thought it was the enemy's archers shaking their hands, but when the patrolling soldiers in the city found that the arrows were also tied with Bai Bu, they know how cunning the enemy army is.

Some of these letters of persuasion were taken away by soldiers patrolling the city, but others were picked up by the common people.

Ordinary people picked up the letter of persuasion, of course it would have no effect, but they talked about it in the city, and the servants of the aristocratic family heard it, and they passed the news to the clan.

Some of the aristocratic families in Ye City became restless.

The two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi felt the change in the hearts of the people in the city, and immediately reported it to Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only follow their advice and send more soldiers to patrol the city to prevent people from colluding. The people approached the city gate to prevent the inside from joining the outside.

Liu Zhang besieged and stormed Yecheng for 20 days. Finally, one night, someone opened the east gate and Gan Ning led his army to break in. Liu Zhang then led the main force to enter Yecheng.

Wen Chou was killed in the rebellion, and Yuan Shang was led by the soldiers to flee from the north gate. Yuan Shao's family members who had no time to evacuate stayed in Yuan's mansion.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who had just evacuated from Jingjing and returned to Changshan County, did not know that Yecheng had been breached.

Of his [-] troops, because Zhang Liao and the others had been chasing and harassing him, there were only [-] left.

The city of Ye was too big. After Liu Zhang captured Ye, he did not continue to advance, but stayed in Ye for repairs. He attacked the city for 20 days in a row. The soldiers under his command suffered a lot of casualties, and everyone was very tired.

Liu Zhang took out the wine and meat from the treasury in Yecheng, rewarded the soldiers, and sent people to closely monitor Yuan Shao's movements.

Two days later, Yuan Shao finally received the news that Yecheng had been breached, and he immediately fainted from anger.

When he woke up, he happened to see the third son Yuan Shang who was waiting by his side. Yuan Shao immediately kicked off the quilt and cursed: "You bastard, you actually lost Yecheng, you!"

What else could Yuan Shao do besides scolding Yuan Shang, after all Yuan Shang was Yuan Shao's favorite son, he could still kill him.

Yuan Shang also knew that he had made a mistake, so he knelt aside and let Yuan Shao yell at him without daring to refute.

"Father, what should we do now?" Yuan Shang asked cautiously when Yuan Shao was tired of scolding.

"What else can I do, go and take Yecheng back!"

There were less than a hundred remnants of soldiers escorting Yuan Shang.After Yecheng was breached, some of the Yuan soldiers who were still alive died in battle, some were captured, and some fled without knowing where they were going.

Yuan Shao asked Yuan Shang about the situation in Yecheng in detail, and learned that Liu Zhang had only 6 people attacking the city, and the remaining troops should not exceed [-]. He felt that he had to go south immediately and could not give Liu Zhang time.

He immediately ordered people to call Yan Liang, and asked them to lead 1 people as forwards, and immediately went south.
