Chapter 1179 The strategy of killing two birds with one stone
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Jia Xu asked, "My lord, which generals are you going to take with you?"
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Dian Wei is too big and obvious, especially among a group of refugees, and is more likely to be discovered by interested people. Therefore, I will not take Dian Wei with me this time, but only Shi A and A Meng, and
Soldiers from the Wolf Fang Camp.”
Dian Wei immediately stopped and said angrily: "My lord, I must go."
Wang Can said resolutely: "You must stay this time. For my safety, you must stay."
Shi Alang said in a loud voice: "Lao Dian, I will protect my lord, don't worry."
Dian Wei made a cold sound, his eyes widened angrily, and he stared at Shi A fiercely, as if Shi A had robbed his wife.
Seeing Dian Wei's anger, Wang Can smiled instead and said: "Tiger, you are indeed not suitable, so don't argue. Shi A, take people to the surrounding villages and towns and get some clothes worn by ordinary people.
Clothes. Remember, the clothes you bring back should be as rough as possible and not conspicuous."
"promise!"
Shi A responded with clasped fists and walked out of the tent proudly.
Turning his eyes, Wang Can looked at Jia Xu again and said: "Wen He, you are very thoughtful. After I leave, you will take over the major affairs of the army. As for blending into the common people, this is what I considered..., although there are some things.
It’s complicated, but it also shows in disguise that our army cares for the people and can make the people recognize us. At the same time, I can bring people in, so it won’t kill two birds with one stone.”
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Xu will definitely complete the mission."
Wang Can ordered again: "Lü Meng, organize the soldiers of Langya Camp and get them ready for action."
"promise!"
Lu Meng responded with clasped fists and hurried down to prepare.
…
In the early morning, the sun rises.
The golden sun shines down, making Wuxian County look golden.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of war drums suddenly sounded outside Wu County.
When the people outside the city heard this, their pores stood up and their nerves became tense. The arrival of war means that they will rush to the battlefield. The people are unarmed, and going to the battlefield means being killed.
When the detained people heard the drums, they shouted loudly and seemed at a loss.
An aura of sadness filled the camp.
On the city tower, Sun Quan stood tall with a faint smile on his face and said: "Kong Ming, I thought Wang Can would stop attacking Wu County for the sake of the people of Wu County. Hey, after all, Wang Can is a man who will do anything for hegemony. Outside the city
The common people cannot stop the Shu army, but the Shu army kills countless people, and Wang Can will suffer the consequences."
After finishing speaking, Sun Quan laughed loudly.
The laughter was sad, but it had a hint of madness.
Zhuge Liang stood on the inside of the city wall, watching the dark Shu army approaching, and his heart became tense.
What a shame to the people!
He thought so in his heart, but knew that it was not up to him to make the decision.
In the blink of an eye, the Shu army approached the outside of the city. At this time, rumbling horns sounded from the Wu army camp outside the city, and countless people stumbled out of the camp, like ducks being driven into the water.
Tens of thousands of people came to attack the Shu army.
Seeing that the people were about to fight with the Shu army, the Shu army chose to retreat.
Seeing this, Sun Quan frowned and said: "Kong Ming, it seems I was wrong. I thought Wang Can would let soldiers break through the wall of people and attack Wu County, but from this it seems that Wang Can is not ruthless after all. However, this man
He was also very cunning. He actually wanted to fake defeat to lure the people to attack, avoid the people, and then plot against the Wu army. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the camp, and only a few people ran out of the camp. I am not afraid of losses. If these people lose, they will still be injured.
have."
Zhuge Liang seldom spoke anymore, he only listened to what Sun Quan said.
At this time, he was the person Sun Quan confided in.
Half an hour later, the people who left the camp returned one after another, successfully forcing the Shu army back. Sun Quan looked at the camp outside the city and said with high spirits: "This is just the beginning, Wang Can will come."
At noon, war drums sounded again outside the city.
Sun Quan came to the city tower, looked at the swarming Shu army, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, Wang Can doesn't give up!"
Zhuge Liang rarely opened his mouth, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Now that the matter has come to this point, it is impossible for Wang Can to stop his troops. The Shu army has successively attacked the camp, probably testing the situation."
On this trip, the generals in the Wu camp sent another group of civilians to attack the Shu army.
The people rushed forward, but the Shu army once again chose to retreat.
Half an hour later, the people returned to the camp one by one.
In the evening, the horns sounded again. The dark Shu army came rushing towards them. The generals in the Wu army camp followed suit and ordered the people to attack. The situation was exactly the same as in the early morning and noon. When the people were about to encounter the Shu army, the Shu army
He quickly turned around and retreated, allowing the people to pursue him.
This situation made Sun Quan suspicious.
It would have been just one or two tentative attacks, but they came to attack the camp early in the morning, noon, and evening. Especially since the Shu army still avoided fighting, it was obvious that they had certain intentions.
If it were normal, Sun Quan would immediately think of Zhuge Liang.
Now that Zhuge Liang has hardly offered any advice and has become mute, Sun Quan calls for Zhang Zhao.
Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "Zibu, you know the situation of today's battle. Wang Can sent out troops three times in a row, and each time he made a false shot and did not fight with the people. Why is this?"
Zhang Zhao smoothed his long gray beard under his chin and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the King of Wu, I think this is Wang Can's plan to attack the heart. Just imagine, Wang Can sent troops three times, but three times he did not fight with the people and did not kill them.
What effect will this have on a common people? The common people detained in the camp will think that the King of Shu is benevolent, and the Shu army is willing to retreat in order not to kill them. After today, countless common people will turn to Wang Can. This is
Wang Can’s purpose.”
Sun Quan sneered and said: "Wang Can is indeed cunning. Unfortunately, the people are unarmed and have their families in the camp, so they dare not cause trouble and can only obey orders obediently."
Zhang Zhao thought for a while, his expression kept changing, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The people's resistance to the Shu army only temporarily blocked the Shu army's offensive, and it was not a long-term solution. Wang Can led more than 300,000 Shu troops to the city, and the state of Wu...
…”
Sun Quan's face darkened, and he held his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Clang!!"
The long sword was unsheathed, its tip flashing with cold light, and it was pointed at Zhang Zhao who was speaking.
"Zibu, my father has treated you well. Do you want to surrender to Wang Can?"
Sun Quan's eyes were red, with a bloodthirsty light shining in his eyes. Zhang Zhao had lived for half his life and had known countless people. When he saw the look in Sun Quan's eyes, he was horrified. The person in front of him had gone completely crazy.
If you offend Sun Quan, you will probably be killed.
Zhang Zhao's mind changed and he quickly admitted his mistake and said: "King Wu, forgive me. Zhao has no intention of surrendering to Wang Can. He is just planning for King Wu and his people, so he must leave a way!"
"Humph, I'm sorry you don't dare either."
Sun Quan flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
In fact, Sun Quan only threatened Zhang Zhao and did not dare to kill Zhang Zhao, otherwise the officials in the city would be prone to unrest. If the people were in chaos, they could send troops to suppress it. If the officials in the city made trouble, Sun Quan would be close to death. Zhang Zhao was the leader of the Wu Kingdom.
The veteran minister was highly respected and respected, and Sun Quan would never dare to kill him without permission, he could only intimidate him.
Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan's leaving figure, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.
…
Outside the city, Wu Jun camped.
Countless people were detained in the camp.
These people are crowded together, with tattered clothes and unkempt hair. Many of them are already sallow and thin, with sunken eyes. They obviously haven't eaten enough and haven't slept well. If the tent is full of adults, they can survive, but there are still some parts of the tent that are full of people.
Year-old children, even women holding babies, etc.
These people were mixed together, making a lot of noise. Sometimes it was the sound of children crying at the top of their lungs, and sometimes it was the noise between husband and wife. It was very chaotic.
In the corner, some people had their heads lowered and their backs hunched, making them inconspicuous.
Among these people, one was wearing coarse linen clothes, with fluffy buns and stains on his face. But this man had a straight nose and bright eyes, which was different from the tired people.
This person is none other than Wang Can who has suddenly blended in among the people.
