In the Hannan military camp tent in the south of Fulousha, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao are looking at the map in front of them, this period of war, completely played the style of the southern army, Captain Lu led a group of men and horses, all the way to capture, has reached the southernmost coastal area of Guishan, he is all the way to declare that Guishan is dead, to win over the local nobles and strong, the speed of the march is the fastest.

Sun Ce led an army brigade to attack to the southeast, and it is said that it has been connected with the Yangzhou Naval Division, and Zhou Yu of the Overseas Prefecture also led the Yangzhou Navy to fight with the Guishan Naval Division, and successfully landed from the south, as for the generals such as Ma Chao, they were chasing and killing the army of the fierce opposition nobles in the south, and the entire Guishan, except for the Wangcheng Fulousha area, the rest of the place had been occupied and pacified by the Han Jun.

Originally, Zhang Liao thought that it was a bit risky to do this, because many generals were sent out to capture, if Wang Cheng went out of the city to attack at this time, it might bury the current good situation, however, Zhuge Liang swore to him that Wang Cheng would never send troops to fight, out of trust in Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao still boldly carried out this risky action.

Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang said, Guishuang had no idea of going out of the city to attack at all, and even, after Zhuge Liang deliberately let the other party notice that the number of soldiers on his side had decreased, the other party was more cautious, and even the homeless people refused to accept it, perhaps during this period of time, Zhuge Liang gave them too much blow, under Zhuge Liang's various plans, Guishan's parties were full of loopholes, and they were not opponents at all.

And at this moment, they ushered in the most difficult moment, most of the areas of Kushan have been pacified, but the various expenditures of the Han army are also a lot, in this ghost place, the supplies of the Han army are also a little unable to keep up, the roads here are too bad, the roads in the countryside of the Han Dynasty are much smoother than the so-called roads here, the treasury has also been urgent, Liu Ba's letters are full of pleas, hoping that Zhuge Liang can end the war as soon as possible.

"Ling Gong... This royal city is really strong, and there are a lot of troops, if you attack rashly, I am afraid that the southern troops will have to be transferred, which will cause the pacified southern part to fall into turmoil again, and there is an old thief Nusha who has not been able to kill him... A counteroffensive may be possible at any time ... Ling Gong, what should I do? Zhang Liao asked with a frown.

He didn't realize that now he is really dependent on Zhuge Liang, just because, in this war, Zhuge Liang told everyone very well what is the art of war, from the initial collection of information, to the subsequent reason for bell, to plot against the nobles in the Gaofu City, to stabilize the King of Guishan, unexpectedly cut off the connection between the royal city and the rest of the region, and then force the south to surrender by publicizing the news that the King of Guishan is dead.

Even now, he has continuously released some exiles into the royal city, claiming that Nuxia is the king, and the news such as the complete destruction of Guishan has hit the morale of the royal city, Zhuge Liang has planned several times, one ring after another, and the poor Guishan people themselves have not figured out how it can be so fast, even if they are in a hurry, it will take more than a year to walk from Gaofu City to Wendeya Mountain!!

Zhuge Liang is particularly sensitive to the battle situation, and at the same time has a long-term vision, the marching strategy he set is really extraordinary, so that Zhang Liao, Guan Yu and other fierce generals are convinced, at the same time, he is still in charge of the logistics of the Han army, it can be said that in the past, Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang all let him do it alone.

Therefore, after realizing the difficulty of breaking through the royal city, Zhang Liao's first thought was whether Zhuge Linggong had any good strategies to solve the current situation, Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: "General Guan previously offered a plan to let the King of Guishan replace Nuxia, but this King of Guishan is not so stupid, he actually killed the Neiying we arranged..."

"It's unlikely that he wants him to replace Nusha, but we can also find flaws in the defenders of the royal city, these people were forcibly recruited to defend in the royal city a year ago, their hometowns have been breached, we can call some people in the south, find their families, and persuade them to surrender, if they can say that they can move, the royal city will be broken without attacking, if they can't move, the king of Guishan will definitely be afraid of these foreign soldiers, and when the time comes, conflicts will break out between them..."

"It's the best time for us to attack the city...", Zhuge Liang said slowly, Zhang Liao was overjoyed, slapped his thigh, and shouted with a smile: "It's supposed to be like this!" Zhang Liao hurriedly walked out, and was about to send someone to the south to bring back some people, Zhuge Liang sat in the camp tent, and continued to look at the map in front of him, now Guishan has almost been pacified, only the royal city remains.

And he also personally looked at the situation of Guishan, indeed, this place is very suitable for farming, but these Guishan people do not know how to farm, farming technology is very backward, this land is now in the hands of the Han, Zhuge Liang feels that this can make the Han's grain income increase by ten times, so that the war is worth it.

There are also a lot of people here, the main problem is how to maintain the stability here after the end of the war, Zhuge Liang feels that the original nobles here must migrate to the Han Dynasty, leaving those people at the bottom to come, and then through Xizhou, they will also move here, and firmly control it from the bottom, so that there will basically not be too much turmoil in Guishan.

What's more, the people here are also different from the Han people, they are more or less, they all have some submissive meaning, especially those who are called untouchables, there are tens of thousands of people, in the face of three or four Han soldiers, there is no intention to resist, and even, they do not have the so-called righteousness of the family and country in their minds, whether it is the King of Kushan or the Han army, for them, it seems to be the same.

The war is not over yet, but Zhuge Liang has already begun to think about the future establishment here, as well as the problem of the county, as well as the problem of language and writing, many problems still need Zhuge Liang to think about, he is busy, suddenly a soldier entered the camp tent, and said: "Linggong!" A messenger from Kushan has arrived! ”

"Oh?" , Zhuge Liang was stunned, this is the first time Guishan has sent a messenger, "Let him come in." Zhuge Liang said, after a while, a young Guishan man walked in, followed by a translator, Zhuge Liang smiled and asked, "Honorable guest, don't come unharmed?" The envoy was shocked, just because of this sentence, Zhuge Liang asked in Guishan language.

The envoy's eyes widened, and even the translator behind him was also taken aback, and the envoy bowed respectfully to Zhuge Liang, and then said, "Meet Your Excellency!" ”

"Get up... You don't have to be so polite...", Zhuge Liang smiled, his words were very gentle, he pulled this person and sat down, and then he greeted him for a while, and asked about the situation in the city, and the messenger also replied seriously, without hiding his secrets, Zhuge Liang asked: "Your Excellency came this time, did you bring any requirements from King Guishan?" ”

The envoy shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, I don't know that I don't regard him as a king for a long time, he is a crazy and untrustworthy liar, I came this time to surrender, he intends to surrender, and he is afraid that he will be executed after surrendering, so he asked me to come...", the envoy informed Zhuge Liang of all the things in the palace.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, but he didn't show it, shook his head and said: "He is the king of a country, how can he surrender?" ”

"Heh... Your Excellency doesn't know... Alas...", he sighed and said no more.

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and said: "My Han never kills people who surrender, of course, as long as he is willing to surrender, everything is easy to say...", and the messenger said: "No matter what the Han army plans to do with him in the future, I just hope that you... Whether or not to kill the people in the royal city, they were all coerced, not intentionally to resist the heavenly soldiers... If Your Excellency can forgive them, I am willing to persuade the Kushan King to surrender..."

"We have already conquered other regions of Kushan, but we have never killed the people of any region, even those who were organized by the nobles to rebel against us, after capturing them, we also let them return to their hometowns, how can we kill the people in the royal city?" After some conversation, Zhuge Liang asked the envoy to take the envoy to see the captives.

The envoy saw many captured soldiers, and talked with them for a long time, and sure enough, the Han army did not kill them, did not even abuse them, and their lives were better now than they were in Guishan, and they were unwilling to leave.

The messenger left very happy, and he was confident that he would be able to move the King of Kushan.

Zhuge Liang was also very happy, but he still did not relax his vigilance.

In the city of Shirostuo, the veteran looked at the young man in front of him who came to ventilate the news, his eyes were full of confusion, "What did you say?" ”

"The king is going to surrender? This.... How could he..."

The young man was on an errand in the court, in the past war, he had been saved by the old general, so after learning about the things in the palace, he took people to run here privately, under the pursuit of the Han army, more than 20 people died, and finally only he took two soldiers into the city, and when he informed the old general of the things in the palace, he obviously saw that the light in the old general's eyes faded.

"Why is that...", Nusha bowed her head.

"The king will also offer your head to the Han army, and as a gift, he will send someone to bring poisoned wine to the general... The Han army will not stop this army...", the young man said with his head bowed.

The old general slowly stood up, took off his helmet, revealing his messy white hair, scarred all over his body, almost no intact places, even the left ear was cut off most of it, he looked into the distance a little sluggishly, and his eyes gradually moistened, "Why, I haven't done a bad thing in my life... Why do the gods always treat me like this..."

"Guishan is gone... I'm sorry for the first king..."

"I'm sorry..."

The veteran couldn't hold back any longer and cried in a low voice.
