Chapter 483: Count Three
It turned out that what Guo Jia had prepared in advance was the three-pronged purple and gold crown that was exactly the same as on Lu Bu's head. Then pick a random person with a similar face and skin color to Lu Bu, cut off his head, and put on a purple and gold crown of three-pronged hair.
On one side on the city wall, on the other side under the city, the two sides are so far apart, and there are no telescopes in this era, how can you see clearly! In addition, the human head is stained with blood and mud, and the hair is scattered, even if the telescope is hopeful, it may not be able to identify it. Of course, it can still be recognized when you look closer. But how could Guo Jia really show it to others?
Guo Jia didn't want the other party to believe that Lu Bu was dead, as long as those people had the idea that 'Lu Bu might be dead' in their hearts, it was enough, and in this way, it was enough for Guo Jia to take down Dingtao. The reason why Guo Jia was slow and not in a hurry at all before was that it made people mistakenly think that they had been fighting for a longer time, so that people believed that Lu Bu's army had been completely annihilated.
If Guo Jia had rushed over on a hurried march at that time, it would have made people wonder if the battle could really be resolved in such a short time? At that time, Dingtao City may guess that Lu Bu has broken through.
"Surrender or die! Dedication to the city! Resist and kill! Guo Jia shouted directly at the city wall, "I don't want to waste time, and don't blame me for not giving you a chance." I'll count to three, and if you don't surrender, then I'll just order the siege. If I surrender in the future, I don't guarantee that I won't do something to kill the prisoners. ”
Guo Jia warned, although the time was longer, seeing that Lu Bu had not returned. These soldiers will lose their fighting spirit even more, and they will believe in the "fact" that Lu Bu is dead. But Guo Jiake didn't want to give Chen Gong and the others in Dingtao City time to react. If Chen Gong rushed over to stabilize the situation, maybe he would really have to fight hard. At least now there is still the possibility of direct deception.
Guo Jia raised his right hand high and stretched out his index finger,
"One~~~~"
On the city wall, many people looked at each other and looked very hesitant. But no one has acted on this, and it is also the case that anyone has ever surrendered at the first sound. Unless it is the kind of traitor who is eager to surrender, other normal people, even if they have already decided to surrender in their hearts. Usually you have to wait until the last sound, or after someone starts.
Once someone starts, it's like dominoes, falling one after another!
As a result, in everyone's stunned eyes, they saw Guo Jia directly wave his hand, originally pointing his index finger to the sky, but now it turned ninety degrees and turned into a city wall in front of him.
"Siege!"
Guo Jia shouted.
Nima! This is only one, what about the two? What about the three that are good? Didn't you say you had to count to three? Didn't you say that you want to give them a chance to surrender? Is this what you want to give them a chance?!
In an instant, hundreds of people dropped their weapons and didn't care about cursing. Of course, do they dare to scold? hurriedly shouted at the bottom,
"I surrender! I give up! ”
Now that someone has taken the lead. And it was not one or two who took the lead, and soon more people naturally surrendered.
"Huh!" The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked. The more you give them a chance, the more you give them. The more they are treated, the more hesitant they will become, because they will think that they are worthy, they will be insatiable, and they will continue to bargain. And at this time, these people would still think that Lu Bu was not dead, if it was a city that could be easily defeated, would Guo Jia care so much about their surrender?
So, Guo Jia deliberately did the opposite. Using the method of wanting to capture and indulge, he obviously wants the other party to surrender very much, but he makes a disdainful look. It doesn't matter if you love to surrender or not, it doesn't mean much anyway, the result is the same, and it doesn't have much to do with him Guo Jia. The previous words were actually just going through the motions, so as not to think that he Guo Jia was inhumane and would not leave you any chance to surrender.
In this way, how dare these people hesitate, and even think that Lu Bu is dead, the opportunity is fleeting, and if they don't surrender, they will have no chance of survival! Guo Jia didn't care about their surrender at all, Guo Jia had absolute confidence in taking Dingtao! Anyway, they had already thought about surrendering in their hearts, so why did they have to wait until the third sound? Since the result is the same, what do you want to do so much!
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the general of the city directly waved his hand,
"Open the gates!"
Ga!
With the sound of the city gate opening, it signaled that the last place in Yanzhou was about to return to Cao Cao's hands! This will be a final battle, and Lu Bu will have no place to base from now on, and can only be reduced to the army of the mountains and wilderness again!
"After entering, take people straight to Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, don't give them a chance to escape!" Guo Jia said to the ban.
"Yes!" Yu Ban received the order and immediately led his troops into the city.
Guo Jia stayed behind to take over the city gates and deal with these problems of demotion of troops and generals
The battle of Dingtao finally ended with Cao Cao's victory. In this way, the whole of Yanzhou returned to Cao Cao's rule. Although Lu Bu escaped in the end, Lu Bu's army, who died and fled, finally had less than one-third of the remaining men and horses. Maybe it's no problem to play a county, but compared to Cao Cao, who owns an entire state, Lu Bu is already a level lower. If Lu Bu really wants to be an enemy of Cao Cao, the only thing that can be done is probably when Cao Cao is fighting with other big enemies, Lu Bu will insidiously carry out a sneak attack behind his back.
In addition, on Guo Jia's side, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao saw the opportunity quickly, but they still ran away. However, Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao was blocked by Yu Ban and could not escape from Dingtao City, and finally killed himself at home. Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's family members who couldn't run away were all ordered by Cao Cao to destroy the clan!
After the war, Chen Gong still continued to plan to follow Lu Bu, but Zhang Miao was disheartened, thinking that there would be no future with Lu Bu, so he parted ways with Chen Gong and could only turn to Yuan Shu, who was Cao Cao's enemy.
As a result, on the way to Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao was killed by his subordinates, and his family was ruined, and everyone betrayed his relatives, and there was no good end! I don't know if there is a providence in the dark, this may be the retribution for Zhang Miao's betrayal of Cao Cao.
Chen Gong is Cao Cao's savior, he saved Cao Cao's life, and then betrayed Cao Cao, which is reasonable. But Zhang Miao, as Cao Cao's childhood playmate, has always had a good relationship with Cao Cao, and later had a bad relationship with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao wanted to kill Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao has always sheltered Zhang Miao, so Zhang Miao's betrayal of Cao Cao was both ruthless and unrighteous, and was considered by the world to be punished by God for a while.
However, it was said that Lu Bu rectified the remnants of the army, although the losses were huge, but Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Gao Shun and other fierce generals did not lose any of them.
"There's still a chance! Although our army is small, we can still have a chance to break Cao! Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said.
Exactly: the victory or defeat of soldiers is really a common thing, and the reappearance of the armor is unknown. (To be continued......)
