Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 403 Rumors Spread
"Although Marshal Yue is powerful, Cao Jun should not be underestimated. I heard that Yang Xuangan, Wang Yanzhang, Han Hao, Shi Huan and other generals, as well as Cao Cao's mastermind Cheng Yu, have all arrived in Qiao County. It may take a while for our army to defeat them. day, but according to the amount of food and grass in the camp, we can’t last until that time.”

Yu Wencheng shook his head, not very optimistic about Zhuge Liang's strategy.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "What if Cao Jun is really defeated?"

Seeing that all the generals looked suspicious and disbelieving, Chen Qingzhi explained with a wry smile: "The military adviser means that no matter whether Cao Jun is defeated or not, now that Runan is besieged, we can make Yuan Jun think that Cao Jun is defeated."

Only then did the generals suddenly realize. Yuwen Chengdu curled his lips and said: "The military advisor's words are not straightforward, and it is difficult for others to understand."

Chen Qingzhi retorted: "As a general, you should learn from the knowledge of heaven and draw inferences from one case to another. Even if you don't fight for the general, on the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting and the situation changes in an instant. When we lead the troops to fight, it is related to the country. When ordinary people decide their own survival, how can they not adapt to changes and think more carefully?"

All the generals listened to the enlightenment, and carefully wrote down all of them, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, General and the military advisor, for your guidance."

Zhuge Liang smiled, knowing that the three of them are all rare talents of generals, so they can understand a little bit, so needless to say, but in other words: "On the other hand, among Yuan Jun's soldiers, most of them are the old troops of Gong Ran and Yongnian. , now that Yuan Shu has no hope of survival, we will definitely attract them to vote after we write a letter, when the enemy's morale will be slackened, we should cooperate internally and externally, even if the city of Runan is strong, it only takes one battle to take it!"

Chen Qingzhi replied: "A military strategist's strategy is really within the reach of everyone. Now that the army has been resting for a few days, we will also take the opportunity to make preparations so that we can make sure."

The generals took orders and were about to go down to do things when suddenly, a soldier walked in and reported: "Report to the general, there is something wrong with that thief."

"The thief general?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before realizing that he should be talking about Pei Yuanshao.

Chen Qingzhi hurriedly said, "Could it be that Pei Yuanqing ran away?"

"No."

The soldier shook his head like a rattle and said, "Pei Yuanqing has caught wind and cold. He has a high fever and is in a very serious condition."

It turned out that Pei Yuanqing and Yu Wencheng fought in the rain, exhausted their physical strength and mind, and were beaten into the mud pit again, and their bodies were soaked through. Now they are tied tightly by iron chains.

Not to mention no one to change the wet clothes, even ginger soup and so on, he is not a prisoner. If it is combined like this, the hard-working man will fall ill.

His forehead is now burning hot and he is unconscious.

"Lead the way, I'll take a look."

Zhuge Liang said hastily.

Pei Yuanqing is a rare and fierce general, so it may not be impossible to subdue him.Even if he can't be subdued, a living Pei Yuanqing is definitely more valuable than a dead Pei Yuanqing.

The soldiers hurriedly led the way, Zhuge Liang followed, and Chen Qingzhi also said: "Go down and do your work first, I will accompany the military master to have a look."

Yu Wencheng was worried, and quickly said: "I'll take care of it, don't let him pretend to be sick and hurt the military advisor."

When the three of Zhuge Liang came to the camp where Pei Yuanqing was detained, they found that a military doctor was already treating him. When the military doctors saw the three of them, they quickly saluted, and the first one said: "This man has a serious burn. According to the conditions in our army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cure."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look condensed when he heard this, he stepped forward to examine Pei Yuanqing himself, finally shook his head, and sighed: "It is indeed very ill, unless I send him back to Xiapi, and ask the master to let the genius doctor Li Shizhen take action, otherwise he will be able to recover. Bring him back."

Chen Qingzhi pondered for a while, and said: "It just so happens that Yongnian and Shuzhi also need to rest for a while, so we might as well send the three of them back to Xiapi together, and treat them carefully so as not to cause the root cause of the disease."

"As it should."

Zhuge Liang nodded in response.

"In this way, let Shubao protect the three of them to go back, and don't expect any accidents along the way."

Zhuge Liang was cautious and decided.

Before dawn on the second day, taking advantage of the heavy rain that had just stopped, Qin Qiong led the troops to protect Jiang Song, Chen Dao, Pei Yuanqing and some seriously injured soldiers, and quietly left the barracks and rushed back to Xiapi.

Chen Qingzhi and the others didn't stop either, and ordered the soldiers in the army who could read and write to copy the note urging them to surrender, and at the same time spread rumors that Cao Ren was defeated by Yue Fei's army and fled hastily, and now he has lost Qiao County.

Three days later, Chen Qingzhi ordered Luo Cheng to lead the army's skilled archers to tie notes urging surrender to arrows and shoot them into the city.

The soldiers guarding the city and the people in Runan panicked for a while, thinking that Chen Qingzhi was going to attack the city.

Soon they discovered the abnormality on the arrow, and opened the paper tied on it, and someone who could read said: "Yuan Shu is so cruel, Runan has no life anymore, why do you bother to die for him? Surrender now!"

"Under Jiang Song, I don't want to fight brothers and sisters. King Wu's army is strong and strong, everyone should make a decision early."

"..."

These notes are written in an easy-to-understand manner for the convenience of soldiers and civilians who don't know much about Chinese characters.

The spread of these notes was very fast, and Ji Ling and Lan Yu led the soldiers to stop them, but it was useless. There was no way to completely destroy them. On the contrary, they spread faster. Rumors spread, and the entire Runan City became panicked.

"I heard that Cao Cao has been defeated. In Runan today, there is no one who can help us resist King Wu's anger."

"Isn't it? I heard that many brothers are ready to abandon the dark and turn to the light..."

Among the soldiers of Yuan Jun, such a scene spread like a plague, flooding the entire camp.

Yuan Shu in Runan City naturally also received the news that Chen Qingzhi and the others used rumors to disturb the morale of his army, but he could see through it so what, he had no generals to use, and the soldiers and horses had lost their morale, and everyone wanted to surrender , but there is still a promoter and a suitable opportunity.

"Yan Xiang, is Runan still alive?"

Yuan Shu gulped down the bitter wine, his eyes were full of loneliness, he looked at the military adviser in front of him and asked.

"Yan Xiang... is incompetent!"

Yan Xiang heaved a long sigh, his schemes and tricks were useless in the face of absolute strength.

It's as if the snowflakes are profuse and pervasive. Once they encounter the scorching sun, they will quickly melt into water, and then disappear in the sun.

"If that's the case, then that's it."

Yuan Shu's tone was very flat, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Lord!"

Yan Xiang knelt heavily, kowtowed and remained silent.

"You go, but I am Yuan Shu, and Runan is my root and everything to me. My tree cannot be moved!"

Yuan Shu got up, waved his sleeves, turned and entered, leaving behind a depressed figure.
