After learning about Liu Bei's suggestion, Lu Zhi appreciated it very much.
"If there is a strong army with strict military discipline, such methods are naturally useless. However, after these days, the disciples have clearly seen that these thieves are simply a mob. They can neither lead nor run an army. They all rely on Zhang. Only the remaining power of the corner and the favorable wind can be maintained.
As long as they are defeated and fall into decline, the morale of the military will be shaken immediately. When the morale of the military is shaken, our army will further shake their will with propaganda. It will not take long to destroy the will of this mob. By then, Julu County will not The attack breaks itself. "
Lu Zhi was like this, and Dong Zhuo was making rainbow farts one after another, almost knocking Liu Bei to the sky.
This made Liu Bei think in a wicked way whether Dong Zhuo had also made Yuan Wei happy with his rainbow fart skills. Otherwise, why would Yuan Wei want to pull him out of the quagmire?
Because he's handsome?
Looking at the rectangular posture of Dong Zhuo after putting on the armor, Liu Bei thought that even if Yuan Wei was as good as Long Yang, he wouldn't be so picky and actually wanted to attack Dong Zhuo.
But then again, these days, there are quite a few dignitaries as good as Long Yang in Luoyang City.
These rich and powerful dignitaries were probably tired of playing with the singers and dancers at home, and were no longer interested in women. They wanted to pursue new excitement, so they created a new way to play.
The city knows how to play, and the city knows how to play.
It can be said that Liu Bei's strategy still makes sense. Just one day after shouting at the top of the city, the Yellow Turban Army inside the city was a little unable to hold on.
The commander of the Yellow Turban Army in the city was Wang Meng, one of the three great envoys of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou.
In fact, long before Lu Zhi's troops arrived in Jizhou, after a series of military victories and after the official power of Julu County was completely wiped out, a round of internal strife broke out in the Yellow Turban Army. The cause of the internal strife was the issue of the ownership of Julu County.
Julu County is of great significance to them. Everyone wants to use Julu County as a base to command the Taiping Taoists. In this way, they can also use Zhang Jiao's residual power, which has many benefits.
But it's still the same, Gao Zheng is the oldest, Yan Sheng is the first to join Taiping Dao, and Wang Meng has the highest status in the sect. None of the three obeys the other, and everyone feels that they should occupy Julu City.
So after a round of verbal exchanges and physical exchanges, Wang Meng relied on his high status in the church and good methods to almost drive Gao Zheng and Yan Sheng out of Julu County, achieving his dominance, and then recruited troops and declared "orthodox".
In a short period of time, Wang Meng expanded his tribe to more than 100,000 men, and nearly 30,000 young men who could be used for fighting. He controlled most of Julu County, and the other two were forced to develop northward.
After achieving dominance, Wang Meng began to enjoy it almost immediately.
Faced with the situation where the uprising was just the beginning and far from successful, he didn't know what he was thinking. He actually felt that enjoyment was the most important thing and seamlessly switched to a state of wanton enjoyment.
He occupied a large amount of resources, and a large amount of resources were dedicated to him alone. He immediately selected beautiful women in the county, claiming that as a divine envoy, he had the obligation to open the aperture to heaven for believers with wisdom.
Of course, Wang Meng had no explanation as to why these intelligent believers were all young and beautiful women, and how they wanted to open the aperture to the heavens. Everyone did not dare to guess, considering his power and status.
This is the town of Julu County. Zhang Jiao died not long ago, but his power is still there. Coupled with the claims of Wang Meng and others, many people who have not seen Zhang Jiao's body think that Zhang Jiao really just went to pay homage to Huang Tianshen.
Therefore, as the envoy of the Central God, what Wang Meng wanted to do was not possible because of Zhang Jiao's order or Huang Tianshen's order.
Therefore, Wang Meng's life should not be too comfortable, as it is almost like a wine pond and a forest of meat.
However, there are quite a few problems with doing this.
That is, this Yellow Turban Army is strong on the outside and hard on the inside. It looks huge, but in fact the organization is a mess. The managers are without exception Wang Meng's relatives, friends or confidants for many years. These people were sent out to do management work, but the manpower was not enough. Then you can only mess around.
Some smart people keenly smelled something different, so they began to donate property to Wang Meng, and soon gained a certain status and power in Taiping Dao, and suddenly became high-end people in Julu City.
Some smart people guessed what Wang Meng meant. Although they had little money and were poor, when they saw that their wives or daughters looked pretty good, they immediately sent them to Wang Meng to ask him to "enlighten" them.
After Wang Meng got the young and beautiful women, he was overjoyed and gave them status and power.
Such a group of people are probably the leaders in Julu County today, and those on the front line to fight and die are of course the poor people with nothing and the most sincere believers.
If everything goes smoothly and the Yellow Turban Army keeps winning, then everything will be fine.
But once there is a defeat, especially many defeats, it is difficult to say.
Ever since the news of five consecutive defeats came, Wang Meng was so worried that he had no motivation to regain consciousness.
Although the news for help was sent out, he also called the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks around him day and night to discuss countermeasures. However, most of these Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks were unlearned and unskilled. Even the illiterate could find many, but they couldn't find them. A useful one.
After thinking about it for a long time, they could not come up with a reliable solution. Seeing that the poor believers outside were becoming more and more commotion day by day, even the sincere believers were about to be shaken. Wang Meng could only act like a divine envoy. Continuing to bluff and deceive, there is no other clever trick.
He now hopes that the Han army will attack the city, because once the Han army attacks the city, everyone will be nervous and have no time to think wildly. Even when the Han army is not attacking the city, everyone is particularly prone to wild thoughts.
What can we do?
Wang Meng could vaguely guess that there was a high probability that he would not be able to wait for any serious reinforcements. Gao Zheng and Yan Sheng, who could support him, wished that they would die without a burial place. Seeing that he was unlucky, they were happy before it was too late. How could this happen? Risking your life to save him?
He guessed correctly. Seven or eight days after Liu Bei spread the news, no large-scale organized troops came to rescue Julu County. Only small groups of Taiping Dao armed forces came to rescue Julu County.
These three or two kittens obviously could not meet the needs of the Han army. Lu Zhi had no choice but to arrange for the commanding officers to take turns to attack these small groups of Taiping Taoists.
Mosquito legs are also meat, and they are eaten in large quantities. Many people come here just for military glory and property. If you don't let them fight, they may not thank you, which is not conducive to the unification of the army.
Regarding this situation, Lu Zhi called Liu Bei and discussed with Liu Bei privately.
"Xuande, do you think the main force of the rebel army will return to support?"
"It stands to reason that we should return support, but there is no similar news at the moment. It may be because time is still short."
Liu Bei frowned and said: "Although there may be changes, teacher, my initial opinion will not change. It is better to besiege without attacking than to attack the city. First, shake people's hearts with words, and then use some small victories to cut off the hopes of the people in the city. They More anxious than us.
I suggest that if there is another small victory in the future, some prisoners of war can be taken to the bottom of the city to be executed, and the people in the city can be told that the reinforcements have been defeated and they have no hope, so as to further stimulate them. If they don’t worry about internal chaos, then our army will But while we can enjoy the gains, the losses incurred during the siege are still too great. "
Lu Zhi thought for a while and was silent for a while.
"Xuande, I'm not worried that our strategy won't work in Julu County, I'm worried about Luoyang."
