Zhu Ji was happy to be told by Zhang Te and agreed with him that he would surrender after discussion.
But what he didn't expect was that when Sun Wu's army was still several hours away from Hefei New City, the scouts from Hefei New City had detected the news.
Later, Zhang Te, who was stationed in Xincheng, decisively rushed the news to Shouchun and Luoyang, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. He could not sit still and wait for death, so he resorted to a delaying tactic, falsely claiming that he was surrendering. It would be better if he could resist for one more day.
It’s been a day.
The deputy general Zhu Yi who was on the side saw through at a glance that this was a delaying strategy by Zhang Te and a group of Wei thieves, and advised Zhu Ji: "General, you must not believe the tricks of the Wei thieves.
The general concluded that there must be a fraud in this, and it was probably a trick by the Wei thieves to delay the attack. I also asked the general not to agree to the Wei thieves' request, but to attack the city directly!"
Le Fang at the top of the city also lost no time in saying: "General Zhu, with your strength, we can't escape no matter what. What's the point of waiting for two days? Is it possible that the two generals are afraid?"
Zhu Yi was irritated by Le Fang's move, his face turned red and he said: "Who is afraid? It doesn't matter if I give you two days. Anyway, this new city has been surrounded by us like an iron barrel.
I'm afraid that you won't be able to run away if you grow wings. If you don't surrender in two days, I will personally go to the city with my sword and kill you!"
The two young generals were so aroused that they fell into the delaying strategy devised by Zhang Te and Le Fang.
Zhang Te solemnly raised his hands and said: "Since the two generals are so benevolent and willing to give our soldiers in the city a way out, we will definitely not let the generals down.
After two days, the whole city will definitely be persuaded to surrender, so that the two generals can achieve this great feat without spending a single soldier, and let the Lord of Wu get what he wants!"
Zhu Ji said with a smile: "I will be waiting for the good news of the two generals outside the city. I will truthfully report to Your Majesty the contribution of the two generals to the city, and the rewards of the two generals will definitely be generous.
There will be less!"
Le Fang smiled and said, "Then I'll thank Lord Wu for the reward."
Fortunately, Zhang Yan was sent to cut down trees. Otherwise, when he saw this scene, he would have said sadly: "I don't know how to make a fool of myself. I wonder how two generals and heroes could have sons like you, who are as stupid as pigs."
/p>
You were confused by the few words of the Wei thief. Have you forgotten the lessons of the emperor's northern attack on Hefei several times before?"
But since Zhang Yan is here, he probably can’t stop the two of them from being eager to “achieve”.
At this moment, Zhang Yan was commanding his soldiers to cut down trees, hoping to capture Hefei as soon as possible and march north to Shouchun. Little did he know that the two young generals had fallen into Zhang Te's delaying strategy.
From time to time, Zhang Yan said to the soldiers who were logging: "My sons in Jiangdong, work hard and capture Hefei as soon as possible. His Majesty will definitely reward you greatly! Not to mention noble titles and beauties!"
Obviously Zhang Yan was using the Three Kingdoms version of the PUA technique, but by the end of the war, most of these people had become cannon fodder and died on the battlefield. Most of them would not be able to get their turn if they had merit, and most of them would still be divided among Zhu Ji and the others. p>
After hearing the promise from military advisor Zhang Yan, the soldiers became more motivated, and the speed of logging and making siege equipment accelerated.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Yan had already made thirty-five ladders and five ramming logs. Thinking that they were enough to deal with the city, he led his soldiers to bring back all the siege equipment, expecting Zhu Ji and the others to attack the city.
I was able to bring him some "surprises".
As a result, when he returned to the city, he saw that the two men had ordered the army to camp outside the city. The army surrounded them but did not attack. The two men were leisurely roasting the game they had brought from nearby today in the Chinese army's tent and drinking wine. When Zhu Ji saw Zhang Yan coming back, he guessed that he was almost ready. A little drunk, he stood up, picked up the wine bowl, patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder and said: "Zijie, come and drink with us, and use some game."
."
Zhang Yan said anxiously and doubtfully: "Gongxu, Ji Wen and you two are the commanders of an army. How can you openly drink and enjoy yourself in the camp? You agreed to let me prepare the siege equipment.
You two are calling the formation to fight. How can you act like this when the two armies are fighting in front of the formation? If you continue like this, the army will be destroyed before your eyes! How can you live up to His Majesty's high expectations?"
Zhu Yi took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Zijie, you don't know something about this. You didn't see a good show after you went out yesterday. If you had known about it, you would have stayed calm like me."
, waiting for the good news."
Zhu Yi said and handed Zhang Yan a piece of roasted and crispy pheasant meat. When Zhang Yan saw the two of them slacking off, he became angry and when Zhu Yi was caught off guard, he knocked over the wine bowl in his hand.
Land.
Zhu Yi was furious and said: "Zijie, what are you doing?"
Zhang Yan said with an angry face: "Two generals, what time is it? Don't hide and hide. If you don't have a good strategy, you still have to send troops quickly!"
Zhu Ji looked like he had everything under control, and said with a slow smile: "Zijie, I won't hide it from you. After you left yesterday, Ji Wen and I called for formation in front of the city.
Unexpectedly, the Wei thieves Zhang Te and Le Fang actually said that they were no match for the two of us. They asked us to give them two days, and they would be able to persuade all the soldiers in the city to surrender to Wu. With the two of us together,
Since the new city has been surrounded like an iron barrel, wouldn't it be better to give them two days to capture the city without spending a single soldier?"
Zhang Yan thought for a while, patted his thigh and said sadly: "Oh, Gongxu, Ji Wen, the two of you are the ones who are planning to delay the attack by the Wei thieves!"
Zhu Ji and Zhu Yi looked at each other and said, "You can't delay the attack, can you? Yesterday I looked at Zhang Te, and the two thieves Le Fang had a serious and sad look on their faces. They had no intention of antagonizing our Wu soldiers and horses anymore." Zhu Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zijie. Tomorrow morning, Le Fang and Le Fang will probably surrender. If they don't surrender, with the siege equipment built by Qing and the 30,000 troops, this city will also belong to us."
Waiting for what’s in your pocket!”
Zhang Yan sighed and said: "Oh, I can't persuade you anymore. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself tomorrow and you will know whether this is a delaying strategy!"
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and went out, not to be with the two of them. Zhu Ji smiled and said: "Come on, Ji Wen, let's continue, don't pay attention to him!" He continued to push cups and change cups, fiercely.
I ordered a piece of barbecue.
On the second day, as Zhang Yan expected, Zhang Te and Le Fang stood firm and stayed behind closed doors, ignoring Zhu Ji and others outside the city who scolded them for not keeping their word.
Zhu Ji cursed for a while, but when no one paid attention, he personally led an army to attack the new city. However, the city was stronger than the three people imagined, and they could capture it in just a few days.
Cao Shuang traveled all night and as soon as he returned to his home early the next morning, he summoned the generals to discuss matters and planned to personally lead 50,000 troops to aid Hefei New City.
