Chapter 83

"I lived a leisurely life, and I didn't look like a siege behind enemy lines at all."

It was a new day and a new defense patrol. Yang Ang yawned and looked at the south gate of Nanzheng City and the dock outside the gate, and began to doubt life.

Really, although based on his corporate understanding of Zhang Lu's care when he left, he seemed to have to hold Nan Zheng for at least two months before he could live up to his promise.

But in fact, Yang Ang is definitely self-aware of his integrity. In addition, Zhang Lu is so unrighteous and unreliable, if Liu Bei really attacked the city in blood, he would surrender in a month.

Of course, even if he surrendered to Liu Bei, he would not really work hard for Liu Bei. Because he already knew that his brother Yang Ren died under Zhao Yun's gun, how could he work hard for the person who killed his brother?

I only want a safe treatment, make a fortune when I celebrate the city, and then run away to be a rich man in seclusion.

Unfortunately, all these assumptions did not happen.

Liu Bei did not shoot a single arrow for more than 20 days, but only besieged and did not attack the city at all, which made Yang Ang feel distressed. He didn't know whether the enemy was holding up the bad waters of the ultimate move, or whether he really planned to not negotiate or persuade the surrender to completely starve the people in Nanzheng to death.

If others don’t recommend it, why would you let it go if you think it’s half-suppressed?

Fortunately, the hearts of the people in the city are always available. Nan Zheng was Zhang Lu's original base after all. There are the most believers in the city and the earliest ones, and the most benefits they get in pyramid schemes. So even after being besieged for a period of time, the military and civilians were still willing to resist with Yang Ang.

Just when Yang Ang was exhausted, a subordinate school suddenly exclaimed a bad news:

"The general is not good! Go to the west gate quickly. Outside the west gate, a Han army is sending people to call for surrender, and specially tied up some prisoners to the city to behead the order."

Yang Ang was stunned, and had not yet realized what kind of brain circuit it was: "The beheading order? Can we kill our prisoners of war? What's the point of fear? If the Han army is so cruel, it will only arouse our army's hatred of the enemy."

The primary school has a low level of education and cannot explain clearly, so I had to rush to say, "General, you will know if you go and see it yourself!"

Only then did Yang Ang ride his horse along the city wall.

After half a stick of incense, Yang Ang arrived at the West City Gate and then saw a strange scene with his own eyes.

Several liars who looked like rice thieves were scammers, were tied up by Wuhua's neck and placed a card behind them. They were smashed by the people of Nanzheng outside the city with rotten vegetables and leaves and other filthy things. When they heard the scolding, the people seemed to have been cheated of food by them, and they cried and robbed the earth.

There were still several pools of blood and some headless corpses on the ground. It seemed that Yang Ang had cut off several groups of people before he arrived.

After the people cried and shouted, several minor officials from the Han army preached their crimes in public, and then they taught Zhang Lu how he taught these priests to bring people into the gang and used the five dou of rice paid by the new gang to support his family.

All of these Han military officials were very loud and brought a few trumpet-like tubes to ensure that the guards on the city could hear clearly.

Many of the defenders on the city were also believers of the rice thief. After being popularized by science, the morale of the army was indeed shaken.

Yang Ang's scalp was numb and he suddenly felt that something was going to be a bad thing. But he didn't know how to resist, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to shoot away those people - because there were only a few Han army officials within the range, and they were still mixed with the people outside the city, and the Han army's combat troops were not within the range of the bow and arrow.

If Yang Ang ordered the shooting of the people in this way, many people were originally natives from Nanzheng before the war, but Zhang Lu did not let them all enter the city in order to reduce the speed of food consumption in the city during the fence of the city. Maybe they still had relatives and friends in the city, and if they killed innocent people in the city, they would be in chaos.

Originally, Yang Ang was not afraid of Liu Bei taking the people as hostages, because if Liu Bei dared to kill the people of Nanzheng outside the city and forced the people in the city to surrender, it would only make the people in the city more and more hatred of the enemy, and Liu Bei himself would also lose his reputation.

But this effect is completely different for the people outside the city to repent, repent, and criticize the liar from the bottom of their hearts.

After using the easy-to-understand explanation as easy as possible to clarify the ins and outs of the "Zhang Scam", the minor officials of the Han army finally took action to kill the last few sacrificial wines. (In the history of this life, the "Ponzi Scam" was renamed "Zhang Scam" because it was characterized by Zhang Lu)

The moment the priests were killed, the people of Nanzheng who were cheated of food outside the city cheered again. The scene made Yang Ang feel very uncomfortable.

But soon there are even more disgusting.

Several local wealthy families who were cheated the most and lost the most wealth after the channel actually stated under the city how much wealth they had been cheated by the rice thief and how they were cheated. They also called their friends to shout at the top of the city, asking those friends not to fall deeper and deeper.

Many local rich people know each other in Nanzheng City. Some of the soldiers on the city couldn't help but exclaim: Isn't this Zhao Yuanwai from Zhaozhuang in the south of the city? His family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land. When he was in the first place, Liu Dajijiu promised him a lot of benefits. Later, I heard that he was bullying his heart and it turned out to be...

While Yang Ang was still at a loss, a few sounds of bows and crossbows broke the silence of the scene.

"Strong~swhoosh~" Several feather arrows shot down from the city tower, and then Mr. Zhao screamed and was shot and killed by the archer guarding the city.

Yang Ang felt his brain jumping around: "Who! Who ordered the arrows! I didn't order anyone dared to shoot!"

"It was Wu Jijiu who asked us to release it." The scolded archers quickly clarified.

Yang Ang called the priest named Wu and asked sternly: "Wu Han! Why did you shoot and kill the rich people of Nanzheng? Are you not afraid of the people in the city being disheartened? Don't think you are the priest of the priest, I dare not use military law to restrain you! When Shi Jun evacuated, he entrusted all the defense in the city to me!"

Wu Han said coldly: "If you don't kill such bad people, you may have more thieves and disciples who slander Shi Jun tomorrow. At that time, the morale of the army in the city may be even more unstable!"

However, just as the military and scam officials were talking to each other, the Han army under the city was angry.

"You thief dares! Take arrows and shoot arrows with all your strength!" Zhou Tai, the general in charge of swearing and fighting to fight the battle today. Zhou Tai saw that he dared to kill innocent people on the top of the city, suddenly shot thousands of arrows at the same time, and thousands of crossbowmen lined up and shot wildly.

Although shooting at the city head under the city has a disadvantage in shooting range, and the crossbowmen under the city only have large rattan cards inserted on the ground to protect themselves, and their defense effect is not as good as that of female wall wall stools.

But it was impossible to resist the Han army's concentration of many crossbowmen, and there was no battle before the siege of the city, which caused the defenders on the city to be very relaxed and were attacked on a large scale for a while, which resulted in dozens of people being shot and killed by the archers on the city to be injured, and more than a hundred were killed.

The two sides ejaculated for a long time before gradually pulling away.

After a while, a Han army general under the city asked his personal soldiers to face the absolutely tight shield formation and shouted again: "Yang Ang! You actually instigated the soldiers to kill the deceived people! Zhang Lu's hypocrisy can be seen from this!

The general in my town has always been reluctant to commit more murder, so he did not attack Nanzheng. You should know that as long as our army attacks with all its strength, Nanzheng will not last long with your thousands of people! If it breaks the city, it will be a fetter that will not be kept. I think that most of the people in this city are believers in rice thieves, and thieves cannot be considered the people. It is also impossible to kill their clans and plunder their wealth!

Thinking that you are just a general and have not helped Zhang Lu incite the people to deceive the people. As long as you hand over the head of the rebels who ordered the arrow to be fired, we will promise that you will not kill your whole family on the day when the city is broken! Otherwise, you can do it yourself!"

Yang Ang burst into cold sweat and quickly thought in his heart.

Following the Han army's policy of surrendering, it seems that it can be forgiven for pure military personnel such as deceived soldiers and generals. What to be liquidated is just a wizard who commits fraud and deception, and sacrifices to wine...

It seems that the imperial court's policy of recruiting Yellow Turban combat troops in the early years was similar.

"Yang Ang! What do you... want to do? Do you dare to betray Shijun? You... can't you be so backboneless? Liu Bei hasn't attacked the city yet. You are afraid that he fired an arrow. Wouldn't he be ridiculed by the world!"

The head-selling priest saw that Yang Ang's expression was wrong, and he was afraid that Yang Ang would be deceived by the Han army and wanted to surrender, so he secretly pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and was ready to defend himself at any time. But he actually knew how his martial power could be better than a combat-type general like Yang Ang.

Yang Ang was awakened by his words, and when he looked at the other party, his expression had murderous intention: "Wu Han! Don't spit on others with blood! You issued a military order, which caused our soldiers to be caught off guard by the Han army and were shot to death. If you want to shoot arrows, I won't order them to release them?

If I shoot arrows, wouldn’t I let other soldiers find cover to hide first in order to anger the Han army? You don’t know anything about military affairs and dare to overstep your affairs and issue military orders. I’m killing you today for the regular military law!”

Yang Ang said very beautifully, and it seemed that he was not cowardly when he wanted to kill Wu Han, nor was he surrendering to Liu Bei, but to strictly enforce military laws!

Civilians who do not have military command power exceed their authority and command blindly, according to military law, are originally meant to beheaded!

The soldiers next to them looked at each other for a moment. In Zhang Lu's army, the authority of the head priests was still very high. How could ordinary soldiers dare to obey their military laws?

But it doesn't matter. Yang Ang used these words to squeeze out other soldiers' business and work together without helping each other. With Yang Ang's martial arts, it was still easy for him to kill a sacrificial wine by himself.

"Um... Yang Ang, you--" Wu Han looked at the sword blade suddenly stabbed into his stomach, and came out of his back, his face full of disbelief.

Yang Ang drew out the blade, then cut off Wu Han's head, threw it under the city, and shouted a few words like "Wu Han seized the military order and fired arrows, and had beheaded and showed the Ming army law." It seemed that he was not afraid of Liu Bei.

But the Han general under the city was still very satisfied with the negotiation result.

Yang Ang clearly wanted to watch the people in the city and take the lead.

Then give him a few more days to cover his fig leaf.

"Tomorrow, continue to kill those fraudulent clergymen in public in the city, and then let the deceived people complain about their grievances!"

This order was faithfully executed. In the following days, it was like this every day, but since Yang Ang's knife, no wizard or priest on the city wall dared to order arrows and kill people to complain.

Four or five days later, almost every household in Nanzheng City had a legend about how "How did Zhang Lu, the teacher, initially deceive the people's favor and dumping grain to support his scam". Even those who don't understand mathematics began to follow the crowd.

Yang Ang saw it and knew that Zhang Lu's hearts had been completely disintegrated by fraud. Finally, he looked loyal and righteous, and secretly negotiated conditions with Liu Bei's people, and the city was opened without blood.

Yang Ang carried the meat with his bare feet and asked the soldiers to carry a row of heads to surrender to Liu Bei:

"The general of sin pays a visit to General Zhenxi! It is all blamed for the general of Jiangkong who has brute force and martial arts, does not know the principles of justice, and is blinded by Zhang Lu's deception. Now he has repentance - all the rice thieves in the city are here, please accept it with a smile."
