Chapter 150: Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea
Outside Julu City, in order to obtain the right to incorporate the Yellow Turban Army, the Yuan brothers intrigued and refused to give in to each other, even to the point of facing each other, which can really be said: "Power is important, flesh and blood are thin, brothers turn against each other, like enemies!" ”
The Yuan brothers all know in their hearts that whoever absorbs the 400,000 Yellow Turban Army will grow rapidly, sit firmly on the throne of the heir of the Yuan family, and even become the co-master of the world.
"Add Yuan Shang as the commander of the three-way army of soldiers and horses, liaise in the center, coordinate and command, be responsible for the integration of the Yellow Turban Army, and give the general a sword, and those who disobey the military order will not be killed!"
The order was sent from Yecheng Kuaima, after learning about the Yellow Turban Army's request to surrender, the general Yuan Shao thought about it a little and decided to put this great credit into the hands of the third son Yuan Shang, which is like pie in the sky, even if he is a fool, he can catch it with his mouth open, unless he says, Yuan Shang is not even a fool?
Yuan Shao supported his young son so strongly, and even sent his own sword, so that he was the governor of the three routes, and he was in charge of the power of life and death, for two reasons:
First, among the three sons, Yuan Shang has the best appearance, is known as a hero, and is usually the most well-behaved, plus as a young son, he naturally gets more favor!
Second, Yuan Shang's biological mother, Liu, has a good look, spoils the back house, the pillow is blowing quite strongly, and she is very scheming.
With his father's strong support, Yuan Shang's waist immediately hardened, on the one hand, he strictly ordered the people of Youzhou and Qingzhou to obey the dispatch, stick to the defense line, and not ask about other things; On the other hand, he sent an envoy to enter Julu City to negotiate the integration of the Yellow Turban Army, and took the opportunity to extort money and property.
"Sting! …… Is my father dizzy, the 400,000 Yellow Turban Army was recruited, such an important matter was handed over to a loser, and the Yuan family's family business would be completely defeated sooner or later! ”
After receiving the military order, the second son Yuan Xi was furious like thunder, and even the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand was torn to pieces.
The military order is like a mountain, and it has to be obeyed, and disobedience is the crime of killing the head, but it does not prevent Yuan Xi from secretly stumbling, a huge piece of fat, since he can't eat it in his mouth, then no one wants to eat it, just flip the table......
Yuan Xi has a dark personality and is the best at working behind his back, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he did three things:
First, send someone to secretly contact the eldest brother Yuan Tan, and the two form an offensive and defensive alliance, work together to deal with Yuan Shang, and after the matter is completed, the brothers will divide the land of Hebei equally!
Second, gather people and horses and stick to the camp, but ask anything outside, Yuan Shang only has 100,000 horses, but the Yellow Turban Army in the city has 400,000, this is like a kitten grabbing a big mouse, and if you want to swallow it, it is not an easy task, and if you don't get it right, you will die!
Third, the secret messenger continued to contact the Yellow Turban Army in the city, in addition to a large amount of grain and grass, and sent a batch of ordnance, to show kindness and righteousness, to win people's hearts, if it doesn't work, then secretly absorb, no matter what, a piece of meat must be cut down!
"Third brother, don't blame me, the battle for the throne has always been like this, either you die or I die!"
After making the deployment, Yuan Xi sat in the camp, waiting for the exhibition of the current situation, brothers have the same roots, know very well, Yuan Shang's skills are incomparable, no matter how good things can be done, just wait to see his jokes!
……………………………………………………………………………………
"Between father and son, there is a separation from morality, brothers and sisters, like enemies, the virtue of the Yuan family is so poor, there is no reason to be invincible!"
In Julu City, looking at the grain, grass and ordnance sent by the second son Yuan Xi, Xiao Yi sneered in his heart, the division of the enemy has been successful, and the next thing is to break through each one, since Yuan Shang took the initiative to send it to the door, let's take him to the knife!
The next step is the negotiation between the two sides, to put it bluntly, it is a contest between liars, who is more clever in deception, who has better acting skills, who can win, and the highest level of deception is - deceiving others and deceiving themselves, and confusing the real with falsehood!
First, after the Yellow Turban Army returned to obedience, it ensured the safety of the soldiers and private property, and the crime of killing officials and rebelling in the past was not to blame!
Second, the big and small leaders were given official positions, mansions, and official positions such as the big leader-Zhang Yan placed in the county guard, and they should not be slow!
Third, soldiers who do not want to join the army are given cattle, seeds, and farm tools, and let them return to their hometowns to farm, and the local government must take care of them properly!
Fourth,.....................
In the matter of negotiation, Xiao Yi himself couldn't come forward, and still let Zhang Yan be in front, and the bad boy Guo Yi was responsible for assisting, listing more than a dozen requirements, and he must sing both fake and true, without revealing any horses' feet, especially in the placement of big and small leaders...... Of course, there is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, which is a 'panacea' for the deceptive mind! ’
"A group of rat-eyed people know that they will not do it if they are given an official position if they are staring at a few acres of thin fields...... I don't have to worry about it! ”
In the camp, after Yuan Shang learned about the negotiation, instead of being annoyed, he was much more relieved, and the Yellow Turban Army put forward a large number of conditions, indicating that they sincerely surrendered, on the contrary, the other party did not ask for anything, and obediently went out of the city to surrender, so you need to be careful to take precautions!
Since it is a sincere surrender, it is easy to say, if you don't take precautions, you can agree first, and the conditions can be more generous, which not only shows your mind, but also speeds up the degree of incorporation, as long as the Yellow Turban Army puts down its weapons and walks out of Julu City, it will become a fish on the board, and you can dispose of it as you like!
In this way, after repeated negotiations, the two sides agreed that three days later, the Yellow Turban Army would go out of the city and surrender, hand over all the weapons and money, and accept the reorganization.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Woo! …… Woo! Woo! ”
The appointed day came, and at dawn, the horn of the Yuan army's camp neighed, and 100,000 horses and horses poured out of the nest, crossing the three trenches that had been set up with great difficulty, all the way to the city of Julu, ready to accept the surrender of the Yellow Turban Army!
In order to show off in the 'surrender ceremony', the third prince Yuan Shang carefully prepared a pair, wearing a golden silk phoenix bead helmet, wearing a golden goose feather armor, sitting on a white dragon horse, wearing a general's sword at the waist, surrounded by dozens of guards, majestic, indispensable!
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we can go back to reunite with our wives and children...... Hehe! ”
"If you win this battle, all the brothers will have their merits, and you will be promoted to a knighthood, just around the corner!"
"You can't let go of the good things in the city, the yellow turban thieves are looting everywhere, and they are all rich and oily!"
…………………………………………
In order to save trouble, many people took off their heavy armor, only covered their bodies with a battle robe, and then brought a sword, bloody battles for many days, countless casualties, the yellow turban thieves are finally going to surrender, after pacifying the war, they will be rewarded heavily, what official positions, titles, money, beauties, residences, and land...... It's all out of the question!
The generals did not prepare for war, and the people below naturally relaxed, one by one, wearing oblique armor, holding knives and guns, twisting and arranging the formation, countless pairs of eyes staring at the city, thinking about how to loot the money and clothing of the soldiers, for ordinary soldiers, this is a good opportunity for wealth!
"The third prince of Qiqi, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou and Qingzhou have not come, do you want to send someone to urge them to send troops to converge!"
Zhang He was wearing heavy armor and holding an iron gun, without the slightest intention of relaxing, and looked into the distance from time to time, with a look of worry on his resolute face!
According to the plan, on the day of surrender, the Yuan army came out with three people, firmly locked the giant deer city, as long as the Yellow Turban Army came out, immediately disarmed, separated, reorganized ......, so that no matter whether it was a real surrender or a fake surrender, they couldn't afford to turn up the big waves!
For this strategy, the second prince Yuan Xi and the general Chun Yuqiong agreed, but when the matter came, the two teams did not move at all, and the camp gate was still closed, and the troops did not move, Zhang He only had 100,000 horses under his command, and if he wanted to suppress the 400,000 Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that the strength was insufficient!
Zhang He has always been suspicious about the surrender of the Yellow Turban Army, the other party still has the strength to fight, and it should not be surrendered so easily, there must be a ...... of deception, but unfortunately, no one in the whole army believes in his judgment, even the always shrewd deputy general Jiang Qi thinks that he is too worried, can it be said that he is really worried?
"General Zhang is too worried, the Yellow Turban Thief has been trapped for many days, and he is already exhausted, we have 100,000 elite soldiers in hand, are you afraid that they will not make trouble?"
The other two soldiers and horses did not come, Yuan Shang was not worried, but was overjoyed, in this way, all the credit for the inclusion was recorded on himself, and others could not take the slightest part!
As for whether the enemy will surrender by fraud, Yuan Shang is not worried, first, the previous negotiations are very smooth, and his envoy has repeatedly said that the other party is sincerely obedient, and many people have even packed their burdens, just waiting to go back to their hometowns to farm!
Second, the grain and grass he sent to the Yellow Turban Army was supplied on a daily basis, and he didn't give more at all, just so that they would not starve to death, but they didn't have the strength to go into battle to fight and deal with 400,000 soft-footed shrimp, so why bother!
…………………………………………………………………………………………
"The three-way Yuan army, only one came, and it was light and unprepared, God really helped me...... No, it's Yuan Sangongzi who helps me, a good person, a good person! ”
Upstairs in Julu City, Xiao Yi's eyes were like electricity, and after repeatedly checking Yuan Jun's formation, after making sure that there was no ambush, he sneered in his heart, he was able to turn defeat into victory today, not because he was too strong, but because the opponent was too weak!
"Pass the order, the money is in front, the people are behind, the departments go out of the city in turn, let's have a good time, this is called - hiding from the sky and crossing the sea!"
