After Jin Yi bid farewell to Liu Xun, he came to Wuling City. Seeing that Jin Yi was back, the guards of the city quickly opened the gate to let Jin Yi return to the city.
The city of Wuling is now dilapidated, and the young and middle-aged people in the city are all pulled up to the top of the city to build the city. Soldiers searched for food from house to house, and the people would be beaten severely if they didn't know how to do it.
However, Jin Xuan in the prefect's mansion is still a flower, and the tragedy in the city seems to have nothing to do with him, and does not affect his enjoyment. Jin Yi came to the Prefect's Mansion and saw such a scene. He was furious and shouted: "Father, the scene in the city is terrible now, but you are here!"
Jin Xuan slowly picked up a great wine and drank it drunkly, and said drunkly, "Why, you are back. You escaped, and... or Liu Xun put you back. Now that you are back, defend. I'll leave the matter of the city to you and keep it for me."
Jin Yi didn't expect her father to be so faint, "Father, now we only have Wuling City, an isolated city. Now there is not much food in the city, and Wuling City can't be guarded anymore. Sooner or later, I have to lose it. It is better to surrender Right."
"What are you talking about? Surrender? We still have ten thousand troops. The enemy can't help us." Under the pressure, Jin Xuan became stubborn.
Jin Yi thought that his father was not like this before. He hadn't seen him for half a month, so why he became a little sick is really incomprehensible.
"Father, the soldiers have run away a lot. We only have a few thousand remnants left. General Liu Xun is afraid of being overwhelmed, so he is not in a hurry to attack the city. We should seize the opportunity and ask General Liu Xun to surrender." Jin Yi still patiently discouraged his father.
"Stop talking, my Jin family has lived in Wuling City for generations. There is absolutely no possibility of surrender. We have to coexist and die with Wuling City." Jin Xuan was determined to resist to the end.
Seeing that he couldn't move his father, Jin Yi shook his head and wanted to retreat back to the Han army camp and return to Liu Xun.
"Where are you going?" Jin Xuan asked sharply.
"Since you don't surrender, I have to return to the Han army camp." Jin Yi was extremely disappointed with his father.
"Don't go, left and right! Lock Jin Yi and prevent him from leaving the city." Jin Xuan ordered.
"Nuo" soldiers responded and detained Jin Yi.
Jin Yi was taken to his original mansion by the soldiers and taken care of. Jin Yi had been pacing in the room, feeling very anxious, thinking, Liu Xun trusted me so much and let me go back to Wuling City to persuade her to surrender her father. Now I am silent here, and others will definitely scold me for not keeping my promises.
Moreover, his mother, wife, and children are in the city. If the Han army can't wait to attack the city by force, they will inevitably suffer. The people of Wuling would definitely be affected. Jin Yi scolded his father for being confused, but there was no way.
Outside Wuling City, inside Liu Xun's army tent, voices were heard from time to time.
"My son, this kid Jin Yi has been there for a day, but there is still no movement. When will I have to wait." Wei Yan was very anxious, and he was anxious to attack the city immediately and make another contribution.
"Yes, son, Jin Yi, this kid didn't lie to us, right." Zhao Yun also began to doubt Jin Yi's loyalty.
"The enemy is already a turtle in the urn. It is easy to win Wuling City now, and there is no need for the kid to reply." Zhang Fei thinks it doesn't need to be so troublesome.
Liu Xun frowned and didn't care what everyone said. In his heart, Wuling City is already under his control. The question is not whether it can be won, but how it can be won and how it can win people's hearts.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and sighed for a long time, "You don't understand the pains of the son."
"Oh..." Everyone was stunned. Is there anything weird in this? Just attack the city directly.
"The military division understands me! Then ask the military division to tell everyone about it." Liu Xun was very happy to know that Zhuge Liang had understood his intentions.
Zhuge Liang slowly said: "Now Wuling City is an isolated city, and it is easy to win it. However, the capture of Wuling County this time is the beginning of the capture of Jingnan four counties, and the people of the other three counties are watching. Our strategy It is to kill as little as possible. If it can be resolved peacefully, no force will be used. Forcibly attacking the city, Wuling City can be captured, but it will inevitably hurt innocent people, easily lose popular support, and leave a cruel impression on the people. Wuling The city is the prefecture of Wuling County. If you lose the popular support in Wuling City, it will endanger my rule in Wuling County as a whole. Therefore, the war must be fully considered in order to achieve a multiplier effect with half the effort."
Zhuge Liang's words profoundly answered Liu Xun's military thinking and strategy this time. There are not many examples of this, but it cannot win the hearts of the people. It will inevitably leave hidden dangers.
Qin Shihuang won the government, and it took ten years to conquer the six kingdoms and complete the unification. But he captured the lands of the Six Nations, but failed to win the hearts of the people. Severe penalties are imposed on the people, levying and violating. The empire he built was finally destroyed in the uprising of the peasants and the old nobles of the six countries.
Later, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, also followed the old path of Qin Shihuang. Xiang Yu was victorious in all battles, almost relying on his own power to wipe out the main force of the Qin State. However, Xiang Yu killed too much. On the one hand, all the troops of Qin were smashed; on the other hand, the people's heart was lost to the place where they could not be attacked for a long time. Later came the tragic ending of suing Wujiang.
But Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, went the other way, focusing on subduing people's hearts and never killing innocent people. Gradually gained the support of the people, from weak to strong, and finally created the Han Dynasty.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's remarks, everyone suddenly realized that they thought it was the long-term thinking of the young man, and there was no one who did not admire Liu Xun.
In Wuling City, Jin Yi was sitting in her room worrying, and suddenly heard someone outside the door say to the guard: "The lord sent me to see the son."
Jin Yi is very suspicious: Who is this person? What are you doing here
With a "squeak" the door was opened by the guards, and Zhang Yun, the chief editor, walked in.
With another "squeak" the door was closed by the guards.
"It turned out to be Master Zhang, why did you come to me." Jin Yi usually has no friendship with Master Zhang Yun, and I don't know why he is here at this time.
"The lord asked me to see the son, please come to discuss how to solve the current predicament of Wuling City." Zhang Yunchao Jin Yi blinked.
Jin Yi was originally a wise man, and immediately understood.
"What is Master Zhang doing?" Jin Yi whispered.
"Now, Wuling City is in danger. Only the son can save the people of Wuling." Zhang Yun's voice was also very small.
"I'm under house arrest now, and I can't take care of myself, how can I manage others." Jin Yi was very depressed.
Zhang Yun knelt down and said, "I have a bold request, please agree with the son."
Jin Yi pulled Zhang Yun up, "I promised."
"I have contacted a team of people and asked the son to lead us to put the lord under house arrest and surrender the city, so that we can save the people in the city." Zhao Yun said
Jin Yi gritted his teeth. Although it sounds incredible at first, it can only be done for the lives of the people in the city.
Jin Yi followed Zhang Yun out. At the door, Zhang Yun said to the guard: "The lord asked me to come over and invite the lord to discuss important matters. It's nothing for you. You can take this money to buy wine and drink." Then, Zhang Yun gave a few five baht dollars. Tucked into the hands of the guards.
The two guards were still thinking about asking questions. When they saw that they had money to buy wine, they swallowed their doubts and happily took the money and left.
Jin Yi hurriedly led a team of people contacted by Zhang Yun, quietly rushing to the prefectural government office. At the mansion, Jin Yi kicked the door open and rushed in.
Jin Xuan was shocked, threw down his wine glass, hurriedly got up, and shouted, "What are you going to do?"
"Father is sick and needs rest. Wuling's affairs will be represented by me for the time being." Jin Yi said very firmly, holding the drawn long sword in his hand. The implication is that there is no choice but to follow my arrangements.
"You rebel!" Jin Xuan drew his sword and slashed at Jin Yi.
Jin Yi took advantage of the situation, but she did not expect to use too much force to make a bright red hole in Jin Xuan's neck.
Blood spewed out from Jin Xuan's neck, and Jin Xuan fell down and died.
Unexpectedly, his father was killed by his own hands, and the long sword in Jin Yi's hand fell from his hand with a bang, and fell heavily to the ground. Jin Yi wailed loudly and was very sad. Jin Yi only wanted to put her father under house arrest and then surrendered herself. Unexpectedly, now that he has killed his father by mistake, how can he not feel sad.
Seeing the scene before him, Zhang Yun was also stunned. However, he adjusted quickly and said to the soldier beside him: "Tell everyone, the prefect Jin Xuan committed suicide. The son Jin Yi took over as the prince. If someone spreads it differently Rumors will never be forgiven."
Zhang Yun said very firmly, and everyone replied in unison: "No."
"The lord committed suicide, and his son Jin Yi took over as the prefect."
"The lord committed suicide, and his son Jin Yi took over as the prefect."
"..."
It didn't take long for the whole city to know the news.
Zhang Yun stepped forward to comfort Jin Yi, "People cannot come back to life after death, and Wuling City needs the prefect to preside over the plan."
Jin Yi wiped away his tears, and said to the attendants around him: "Give my order, the whole army opens the city gate and surrenders to the Han army."
Outside the city of Wuling, Liu Xun was anxiously waiting for news from Jin Yi in the big camp. Suddenly, a visitor came to report, "Report... General, the white flag has been raised at the head of Wuling city, and the city gate is wide open. surrender."
"Report... General, Wuling County messenger Zhang Yun begs to see you." A soldier came to report.
"Hurry up, please." Liu Xun had expected that the envoy would be here to discuss the surrender.
Zhang Yun told Liu Xun about what happened in Wuling City, and said that Jin Yi had led Wuling County officials to greet him at the city gate.
Liu Xun ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and head towards Wuling County. Since then, Liu Xun has occupied all the cities in Wuling County. Liu Xun wanted to continue to appoint Jin Yi as prefect, but Jin Yi refused. Liu Xun asked Gong Zhi to take over as the prefect of Wuling County.
The Han army was stationed in Wuling City, and Liu Xun drilled his soldiers, prepared the army, and prepared for the capture of the next county.
