If it is really seen through, wouldn't it be a waste of time.
"Even if he sees it through, Zhang Mengzhuo will let the people out." Lü Bu said with a smile on his lips.
Seeing that Lu Bu was so confident, Pang Ji couldn't figure it out anymore, so he asked again: "My lord, why are you so sure? Could it be that Zhang Meng Zhuo is my lord's old acquaintance?"
Lu Bu thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "That's right."
A dissipated memory quietly surfaced in my mind.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
After noon the next day.
Chenliu County, the west gate.
Huang Zhong, who was in charge of guarding this place, lightly clamped the yellow puma under his crotch, and marched forward slowly, while the five thousand soldiers behind him also started to step.
Boom~boom~boom~~~
The sound of orderly steps was muffled like thunder, and the dozing guards on the tower suddenly woke up, holding the weapons in their hands in a panic, staring at the army gradually approaching the city wall below the city, without any sleepiness.
For more than a month, Lu Bu's army just besieged and did not attack, and they were all used to spending their days like this.
I never thought that there would be such a big movement today.
Could it be that they are going to start attacking the city?
The soldiers on the city tower were confused, and the expressions on their faces were full of vigilance.
At a position twenty feet away from the moat, Huang Zhong reined in his horse and stopped, and the soldiers behind him also stopped, stomping heavily on the ground, making a loud 'boom' sound.
This made all the soldiers on the city tower feel relieved.At the very least, this means that the enemy has no intention of forcibly attacking the city.
"I am ordered by the great Sima, and I will tell you." Huang Zhong in front spoke slowly.
"I am ordered by the Great Sima, so I will tell you!" The five thousand soldiers behind him shouted in unison.
"The autumn harvest is here, and I don't think the people in the city can store grain for the winter..."
"The autumn harvest is here, and I don't think the people in the city can store grain for the winter..."
Every time Huang Zhong said something in front, the soldiers behind him repeated it again.
It may be difficult for one person's voice to reach the city, but what about the voice of 5000 people?
Shocking enough.
Hearing the huge message from below, the expressions of the soldiers on the tower changed a series of changes.
At first they were wary, then suspicious, and in the end, they all looked happy.
Da Sima wants to make way for the people, allowing them to go out of the city to harvest wheat, and promises not to hurt a single hair of them.
Does this mean that they can also sneak out of the city and escape here.
At the same time, the same scene was taking place outside the gates on the other three sides.
In the city, the county guard's mansion.
"It's not good, my lord, it's not good, my lord..." County Gong Cao Tang Cheng shouted, and ran into the mansion in a panic.
Hearing these words, Zhang Miao, who was already in a state of desperation, felt even more irritable. When he saw Tang Cheng standing outside the hall panting, he said angrily, "Why is Zhang Cheng in such a panic? What happened?"
Today's Zhang Miao is no longer the high-spirited and vigorous person he was at the beginning, he looks much haggard, with thick bags under the eyes, a face lacking energy, and full of exhaustion.
Because of the siege of the city, he was always worried about whether Lu Bu would launch a sudden attack, so that he was under too much psychological pressure and often couldn't sleep at night.
In addition, the scouts couldn't be sent out, and Cao Cao didn't know if he knew he was trapped here.
Under multiple pressures, Zhang Miao can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted.
"My lord, please have a look." Tang Cheng handed over the plain cloth in his hand. There was a small hole pierced through it, which was the same size as the arrow shaft.
Zhang Miao spread out the plain cloth on the table, and saw that there were many words written on it.
After some reading, Zhang Miao's brows were almost twisted into hemp ropes. He propped his hands on the desk, only raised his head slightly, and asked Tang Cheng in a deep voice, "How many people have seen this?"
Tang Cheng didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully: "Lv Bu's army has shot in several waves in a row, probably more than a thousand copies."
The content of the letter is almost the same as what Huang Zhong and others conveyed orally, and even more provocative. It was drafted by Duan Shi, Cai Yong's disciple and then secretary of Lingshi.
"Have the people in the city already spread the word?" Zhang Miao sighed. When he asked this question, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
Tang Cheng nodded reluctantly when he heard the words, but it was the truth.
In addition to these letters that were shot into the city, and the shouts of Lu Bu's soldiers, it was hard for the people in the city not to know the news.
One spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon spread throughout the entire county.
Hearing this answer, Zhang Miao staggered and fell on the seat, as if he had aged ten years.
"Pass down the order and tell the people in the city that this is a trick set up by Lu Bu to deliberately lure us out of the city. You must not believe it!"
Slowing down, Zhang Miao waved his hand slightly, signaling Tang Cheng to go down and convey the matter.
Originally, the soldiers and people in the city were ready to fight to the death, but with Lu Bu's sudden move, the people and soldiers in the city would naturally no longer have the desire to fight to the death.
Can live, who is willing to die?
Human nature.
The next day, Chenliu County had four gates in the east, west, north, south, and north.
The breeze rolled over the withered and yellow leaves, making a rustling sound, and there was no longer any figure in the empty space outside.
Until the sun set and the moon was high, I couldn't see any Lu Jun soldiers.
That night, a few people in the city complained about this.
The next day, there were still no soldiers of Lu Jun outside the city, but the people inside the city gradually became agitated.
On the third day, more and more people wanted to go out of the city. Fortunately, Zhang Miao appeared immediately and persuaded them to go back in the name of the county guard.
On the fourth day, Huang Zhong and the five thousand soldiers he brought appeared outside the city gate in the west.
The appearance of Huang Zhong confirmed the promise that Lu Bu had made to the people in the city.
As a result, the people in the city completely exploded.
