"It's really hard to refuse." Sun Quan touched his chin. The world is uncertain and is in need of talents. The Duke of Zhou spits out his breasts and the world returns to its heart. If nothing else, just because you have rejected people this time, who will be willing to join you, Sun Quan, in the future?
You must know that these people are not seeking office as hermits, and there is no loss even if they fail. They are taking risks and carrying their fortune and life! If Sun Quan doesn't accept it, doesn't give people a good future, and doesn't set an example, then who else will be willing to take risks for your Sun family in the future? If you fight again in the future, your enemies will only unite to resist!
Therefore, Sun Quan must accept him. Not only must he accept him, but he must also give high officials generous salaries. As for Xun Yu, it was true that a strong man had his arms cut off. Not to mention the lack of talents in Cao's camp, this kind of thing would easily shake the morale of the army. However, for the current Xudu, it is indeed a good strategy!
Xun Yu's move packed up and sent away all the people in Xu Capital City who had second thoughts about Cao Ying, leaving behind loyal ministers and a group of freeloaders. Under Xun Yu's leadership, Xu Dudu might be able to hold on for another month.
"Throughout the ages, there have been two methods of inducing surrender: coercion and inducement." Sun Quan said slowly, "We have been besieging but not attacking. As time went by, the people in Xudu became less fearful and nervous. Without coercion, just Inducement will not do."
"My lord is saying that we are going to attack the city?" Qiao Xuan asked.
"That's right, use a thunderbolt chariot to smash all four city gates, every day. The thunderbolt chariot bought at so much cost can't be used!" Sun Quan ordered, "At the same time, please go down and don't prepare a siege ladder." , everyone is ready to rush into the city and fight in the streets!"
"yes!"
Qiao Xuan accepted the order and immediately went to convey the order. After finishing Sun Quan's instructions, Qiao Xuan came back to his senses and realized something was wrong. He couldn't help but turn around and ask Sun Quan for advice.
"Lord, if we do this, won't the people in Xudu City be unable to get out?"
Yes, according to the Grandson Alliance, they must have found a loophole in the city guard, and then they had a chance to sneak out. But once Sun Quan attacks the city and attacks all four city gates at the same time, Xudu's city guards will inevitably become nervous and strengthen their defense. By then, there will be no loopholes, let alone the ability to open the city gates!
Sun Quan's move made it impossible for others to report him.
"That's right, I just want to prevent them from getting out. How can you take the opportunity to raise conditions when others come to defect to you? But they have been around for a month before they came to surrender. It would be too easy for them not to raise some conditions. Click it!" Sun Quan smiled softly, "Xun Yu is doing a good job, so I will play with him."
"Lord, will this be self-defeating and not conducive to us taking over Xudu in the future?" Qiao Xuan asked weakly.
"He said those people would be resentful?" Sun Quan shook his head, "Only strong people are qualified to be resentful. Those people, do you think they are qualified?"
Qiao Xuan smiled bitterly,
"My lord, in your eyes, only people like Guan Yu and Xun Yu are qualified. But most of them are the former kind of people."
"Of course I know this. Therefore, the strong have the treatment of the strong, and ordinary people have the routine of ordinary people." Sun Quan said.
"Routine?"
"If you let them come here directly without giving them the current treatment, these people will definitely be dissatisfied. Because they feel that they are here to help me, how can I treat them badly. But if difficulties are set up, Let them know that there is a threshold for coming to Jiangdong, that is, fair trade, and those who are capable will rise to the top!" Sun Quan replied.
"So, my lord, do you want to ask them to do something as a certificate of submission?" Qiao Xuan thought thoughtfully.
"That's right, you get what you pay for. I don't want much. I just ask them to open the city gate for me." Sun Quan said.
"No wonder, no wonder." Only then did Qiao Xuan understand. No wonder Sun Quan was preparing to go to the city to fight in the streets. "But my lord, what if those people are afraid of life and death, unwilling to take risks, and unwilling to do anything?" Qiao Xuan suddenly said asked. If your threshold is too high, many people will not work hard and just give up. After all, they are all mortals, right?
"Of course, there are definitely people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but the most common among them are those who know the current affairs. What is a person who knows the current affairs? Those who know the current affairs are smart people, and what smart people know best is to balance risks and interests." Sun Quan laughed coldly. , "Come here now, that's surrender. If you come back after the city is broken, you'll be a prisoner. Prisoners are not qualified to negotiate terms. If you want to live, you must beg me!"
"In this way, I will use the Thunderbolt Car to deliver a few more letters to Xudu City. The rest will depend on how Xun Yu responds."
????????????
On this day, in Xudu City, the officials and people who had been enjoying themselves for many years finally recalled that they were still in the whirlpool of troubled times.
War is cruel. No one knows whether they can see the sun tomorrow. What's even more cruel is that they have no way to escape!
"That's not good! Master Xun!"
"With the falling of the boulder, many rumors have now spread wildly in the city!"
"What rumors?" Xun Yu, who was arranging the city guard, stopped his work and asked.
"Sir, look at this." The soldier handed over a broken bamboo slip, as if it had been thrown out of the soil.
Xun Yu frowned.
"Are you sent into the city with Fei Shi?"
He knew that Sun Quan's counterattack was not that simple. When I opened the bamboo slips, I saw that there were no high-sounding official phrases on them. There was only one meaning, which was very cold-blooded and cruel - on the day the city was destroyed, only half of the officials in the city were left!
Sun Quan did not make it clear whether the so-called "half" had removed the other half from office or killed him. But at this time, with the boulder falling, Sun Quan's behavior will only make people think of the latter!
Only half of the officials survive!
"This is a threat, and it also causes us to fight among ourselves. However, things must turn against each other at the extreme, and Sun Quan's move may be self-defeating and become an opportunity for me to unite all the forces in the city!" Xun Yu said while thinking quickly. Not too bad, the situation is not too bad.
As a result, Xun Yu didn't think too much and heard the soldier next to him say again,
"Master Xun, there is more."
"besides?"
"Yes, there is more than one kind of bamboo slip."
"What?!"
"Find them! Find them all for me! Send an order not to let these things circulate in the city. Once discovered, they will be delivered to me immediately." Xun Yu immediately ordered, "In addition, if someone is found to be spreading the news deliberately in the city, No matter who it is, investigate and deal with it strictly and quickly!"
Xun Yu's worries were not unreasonable, and he soon collected the contents on Sun Quan's other bamboo slips. Above is a list of people who are ready to surrender to Sun Quan. Of course, they are all fake lists. Nonsense, how could Sun Quan publish the real list. But at this time, does authenticity still matter?
Now, there are rumors all over the city that there is such a list. As for the names on the list, no one except Xun Yu can master the complete list. So, everyone is guessing, and this kind of guess is the most terrifying!
Innocent people are worried about whether they will be on the list and are afraid of being framed. If there is any slight disturbance on Xun Yu's side, they may be scared to death.
As for those people who already have problems, they have their own secrets and are worried about being exposed, so they may not dare to rebel but will do so anyway!
