Hearing Zhang Mancheng's question, his general Chen Mang stood up and said,"Sir, I'm afraid of his mother's eggs. Give me three thousand cavalrymen, and I will cut off the head of the rebellious dog of Wusi and present it to the general!"
Zhang Mancheng's mouth twitched. Three thousand cavalrymen? When did I become so rich? I can wake up from my dream with a smile if I have two thousand cavalrymen!
However, Chen Mang was the first brother to follow him. He dared to fight and kill, was fearless of death, and had a reckless spirit.
Before that, he was not called Chen Mang, but because he was too reckless, Zhang Mancheng changed his name.
He waved his hand, signaling this little brother to push down, and then looked at other people, especially the scholars who surrendered to him.
His subordinate Li Daxiong came out and said,"Sir, affected by Wusi, my Yellow Turban soldiers are in panic, and some soldiers who can't bear the humiliation have committed suicide. This is not the time to go to war with the people's army!"
The other small commanders also agreed."Seventy-six" After all, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Wusi are really scary. Most of them have been corrupted by comfort. How can they be willing to fight like before?
Zhang Mancheng listened to his commanders and nodded secretly. In fact, he thought so too.
He had read some books these days, which said that one must first stabilize the country before resisting foreign aggression. His army's morale plummeted, and the people were in a panic. If he was not careful, there was a possibility of mutiny.
In this situation, how dare he start a war without authorization? If the soldiers turned against him, wouldn't he die here?
However, unlike the soldiers, the scholars who surrendered to him did not participate in the discussion. Zhang Mancheng could even see a hint of sarcasm on their faces.
He was immediately unhappy, but also extremely frightened. Could it be that this method would not work?
""Ahem!" After stopping the heated discussion of his subordinates, Zhang Mancheng asked the scholars,"Dear talents, do you have any opinions on this? We are all uneducated people, and we hope you can give us more advice."
Although he was reluctant in his heart, Zhang Mancheng still knew the priorities. In this situation, he really needed the help of these scholars!
Seeing Zhang Mancheng's humble attitude, the scholars nodded with satisfaction.
After a few people looked at each other, the leading scholar Xu Shang stepped forward without hesitation:"Your Excellency, it is true that we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. However, it cannot be applied rigidly. We need to flexibly judge the current situation and then make a decision."
After giving these people a little education and looking at their blushing faces, Xu Shang smiled lightly, not caring about Zhang Mancheng's gloomy eyes at all.
"Now the civilian army is at the gates of the city, and Nanyang City is in danger. And because of the military commander's psychological warfare strategy in the past few days, rumors have been spreading in the city, and people are unstable."
"If you just appease the soldiers, the military commander can continue to deceive the people, which will consume a lot of resources and have little effect. In the end, you will be dragged to death in the city by the people's army, and the deceived soldiers will be escorted out of the city to surrender."
"From then on, the military department seized everything that the envoy had risked his life for without wasting a single soldier."
Xu Shang talked freely. He was just an unwelcome illegitimate child of the wealthy Xu family in Yangzhou. When his friends came to Nanyang to study, they happened to encounter the incident of Zhang Mancheng's capture of Nanyang City.
After that, he squandered all the money he brought with him. When Zhang Mancheng happened to recruit scholars and had nowhere to go, he and his friends joined him and became his staff and military advisor.
As for whether he was a staff or a military advisor, Zhang Mancheng didn't understand these things, so he just ignored them.
Here, Xu Shang and others received the best treatment and became the superiors that they had never dared to think about before.
After all, those who could become friends with Xu Shang were basically scholars of similar status.
So After enjoying a few days of good life, they returned to their old ways and began to look down on these peasants, who only stayed because of money.
Before Wu Si came, they rarely made suggestions and were often able to handle some government affairs, allowing them to experience the pleasure of power.
Therefore, now, they think highly of themselves and increasingly ignore Zhang Mancheng, and naturally speak bluntly.
However, he was still sober and didn't know what Wu Si's character was like. Zhang Mancheng really needed him, so he made a sincere analysis of the matter.
After Xu Shang analyzed the pros and cons, Zhang Mancheng also had an understanding of the current situation.
"According to the military advisor, should we go out of the city to fight?" (To read exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
Xu Shang shook his head and said confidently:"How many troops can the envoy mobilize? How many troops does the military commander have? Abandoning the city to fight is not wise."
Zhang Mancheng was so angry that his breathing became a little faster, but he still forced himself to bow and said:"Please tell me more, military advisor!" He nodded with satisfaction, but Zhang Mancheng felt even more aggrieved.
"Let me think about it……"Xu Shang paused for a moment before slowly saying,"In the current situation, there is only one solution to the dilemma........."
Zhang Mancheng became excited:"Military Advisor, make it clear!"[]
Xu Shang looked like he was giving orders:"Now, only if the military commander attacks the city can we make his words become lies, cut off the hope of everyone in the city, and fight against the siege of the people's army. Only in this way can we kill several birds with one stone, boost morale, gather people's hearts, and stop his thoughts."
After getting this plan, Zhang Mancheng was shocked. He quickly stood up and walked to Xu Shang, grabbing his hand and wouldn't let go:"I have a military advisor, like a fish in water!"
Xu Shang was also slightly surprised by Zhang Mancheng's performance. He was also slightly moved by the other party's care and concern. For a while, he recognized him a lot and his tone softened a lot.
"Your Excellency, we are all good at talking about war on paper. We can only rely on you in matters of military warfare."
Zhang Mancheng heard the goodwill in Xu Shang's words and was in a good mood:"Military Advisor, please go and have a rest. We are the best at fighting wars!"
"In this case, we will take our leave."
Watching Xu Shang and the scholars leave, Zhang Mancheng's heart was filled with lofty sentiments. He had never been so clear before the war.
Every time he fought a war, the road ahead was bleak.
Now... As expected, with the participation of the scholars, he might not just hide in the city of Nanyang in the future!
After seeing the power of the scholars, Zhang Mancheng's ambition began to swell...
Wu Si didn't know what Zhang Mancheng and others were planning. To be honest, the current situation was actually a dilemma.
If he was in Zhang Mancheng's position, He didn't know how to choose. Maybe in the end he would choose to give the enemy a taste of his own medicine, or maybe he would choose to build a plank road in the open while sneaking through Chencang in secret.
After all, in the current situation, the civilian army has the upper hand, so the soldiers in the army naturally underestimate the enemy.
Arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated!
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, Wu Si hurriedly found the instructors in the army and asked them to adjust the mentality of the soldiers and prevent Zhang Mancheng from sneaking attacks and other tricks.
Soon, within two days, a guard came to report:"General, a spy was caught ahead!"
