Chapter 238: Killing the people is counterproductive

The politics of the world are all based on the people, and Gu Yuan's goal is to develop and strengthen the Han nation.

Naturally, this was the fundamental policy, and Cao Cao and Jia Xu followed him and were already familiar with his mind.

Therefore, he would never hurt the people rashly, and Jia Xu's words easily defused Wang Xiu's strategy, causing Wang Xiu to be angry.

But his heart was more of fear.

The moment he went out of the government hall above the city tower, he saw that many of the people who were standing on the city wall were walking down.

In the overnight mobilization, he only painted a vague impression in the hearts of the people against the brutal army, but the Union State Army outside came up and promised one man and one bucket of food.

There is nothing more that ordinary people look forward to than the food they have and absolute security.

There is a good saying, if you can eat, who wants to work.

Now he can not work hard, and he can eat, who wants to stay on the walls.

Especially these people, they also clearly saw the mighty and majestic army under the city wall, and the momentum exuded by it made people tremble and fear in their hearts.

It was just a few words of scolding at the beginning, and he had no confidence in his heart when he scolded and scolded.

The two armies were at war, and the people simply could not withstand such momentum.

This is why, after Jia Xu sent people to shout, many people directly chose to retreat.

They preferred to believe that the state army would do as promised, would not harm the people in the house, and would really give food.

"Stop me all."

The army naturally blocked the way for the people to go down the city wall, and Wang Xiu walked to the lower city and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, if you listen to the rumors this time, and go down the city wall according to the expectations of the Union State Army, I really know that the city will be broken, and then the butcher knife will fall on everyone's head, do you really trust their words?" And not believe us natives? "

Some of the common people come back, and some hesitate.

Wang Xiu continued to step up his work, and the shouts of the five hundred sergeants outside the city were endless, which made many people waver in their hearts.

Some people insisted on going to the city, and Wang Xiu was cold in his heart, as long as one person went down, there would be a large number of people going down.

He used his eyes on Zhu Ling, and Zhu Ling pulled out the sword on his waist and directly slashed the man.

"This person ignores the safety of the whole people such as me, is selfish, ignores the interests of the nation, and is unfaithful and unjust, and I and other Zhending people are all bloody true men, and they will never do such a cowardly and cowardly thing, isn't there no difference between Xiacheng and defecting to the enemy and selling the country at this time?"

Saying that, he kicked the man's body down the city, and said to the sergeant: "Such waste, throw his corpse and devour it with dogs, bury it all dirty the land." "

The effect of killing a hundred is achieved in an instant.

Where are the common people who dare to go down, but at this time many people have already had their hearts.

Some people have already seen the face of Zhu Ling Wang Xiu.

When they say that they are for the people, they are the most powerful and least hesitant.

The people returned to their original positions, while Jia Xu and Cao Cao watched the movements above the city tower from a distance.

The people first left, then gathered, and after a little thought about what happened, they understood what was going on.

Jia Xu smiled lightly: "Zhending City can be broken tomorrow, the people's hearts are in chaos, in such a short time, to let the people return to their original positions, absolutely using extraordinary means, as I guessed correctly, it must be killing chickens and monkeys." "

"Killing the people to shock the people, such means will have retribution, and in the middle of the night, when the people go down to the city, Cao Gong asked our army to sleep well, and when the sky was dark, he immediately launched a siege of the city."

Cao Cao was convinced and admired Jia Xu even more.

Order the three armies, eat and eat, and attack Zhending City at dawn tomorrow.

When night fell, above the city of Zhending, the people regretted it, and many people did not expect that when they went to the city, the defenders who said they were good were not allowed to go down the city wall at this time.

At this time, if you want to leave, you can't leave, once the Union State Army begins to attack the city tomorrow, they will inevitably die in the big battle.

The heart could not help but feel sad, and there was a sigh on the city wall.

The defenders of the city also had many connections in the city, and some of the common people asked people to find connections, and wanted to slip down from the city wall, but they were caught by Zhu Ling and killed directly.

He once again advised the people that anyone who escaped from battle was a traitor to the enemy.

Two bloody lessons in quick succession lay ahead, and no one dared to run away anymore.

However, after the people were deceived, they were suppressed in this way, and naturally accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.

The night grew darker, and it was the second half of the night.

The people above the city walls, someone gathered and discussed something.

There was a rope from above the city wall, and a moment later, someone climbed down from the city wall, and then, under the cover of night, all the way north.

Cao Cao was resting, and suddenly a sergeant outside came to report.

"General, there are people in Zhending City who have come to surrender, and he said that he has brought the key news of the destruction of the city."

"Quick, hurry up, please come quickly, Mr. Jia Xu."

The people were brought to the big tent, and Jia Xu also straightened his clothes and walked in quickly from outside.

"What happened when the strong man came here?"

It was a strong man who was covered in sweat, and just now Cao Cao personally brought him a bowl of water to drink, as a professional politician, Cao Cao's smile was naturally extremely amiable.

"General, we people were deceived by them to the city wall, they said that you killed the people indiscriminately, today I saw the two, only to know that those people are talking nonsense, now we want to go down, they don't let us go down to the city at all, killed two people in a row, I came here now, just to tell the general, in a while you light a fire, we will have someone to put down the city gate mechanism for you, when the time comes, you will enter through the city gate, as long as you don't go up the city wall to give our people a way to live, we will be grateful to Dade."

Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu, he didn't know if this person was sent by Zhu Ling to deliberately use a trick to coax them into the city and catch turtles in an urn.

Jia Xu had a very scheming mind, and Cao Cao called him here, naturally asking him to test the truth and fake.

Sure enough, after listening to this person, Jia Xu asked him a few more questions one after another, and then nodded to Cao Cao, meaning that there was no problem with this person.

Cao Cao then smiled and said, "If so, you have made great achievements in the strong man, and someone will take the strong man down to rest and reward you with money, grain and rice." "

The people were overjoyed and followed the sergeant down.

Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu, and then the two began to order the troops to line up the generals.

In the darkness of the night, the interior of Zhending City has been broken. _
