"Your servant obeys the decree." Lu Bu immediately went down to deliver the decree.

The army was repaired and camped.

Under the arrangement of the great military master Jia Xu, setting up camp is also quite in line with the art of war. It can be advanced or retreated, and the defense can be defended, so as to prevent Dong Zhuo's remnants from stealing the camp.

The center of the camp, in the main tent of the center.

All will gather.

Liu Xie sat on the main seat, exuding an aura of calmness and prestige, and all the officials below were in awe.

"Chang'an City is only five miles away, and we can attack the city by marching tomorrow. However, according to reports from spies, Guo Si has already gathered Li Jue, Xu Rong and the others. There are 20 troops in Chang'an City. If we attack by force, our big man's chances of winning are not high. After all, they are guarding the city." Zhang Liao reported the situation of the battle.

"As long as we lead them out of the city to fight, our army can defeat them in one fell swoop." Lu Bu said loudly.

"Feng Xian, after this battle is over, you can read me more strategies on the art of war." Liu Xie raised his head, looked at Lu Bu and said.

"Your Majesty, why do you want me to study?" Lu Bu said with some taste.

"Because you are a reckless man who can't see the facts clearly. If you continue like this, you will suffer a loss sooner or later."

"Wenhe, explain to him." Liu Xie said lightly.

"I obey the order." Jia Xu gave Lu Bu a funny look, then looked around the crowd and said, "Although Li Ru, the smartest under Dong Zhuo's command, is dead, Guo Si and the others are not stupid. They know that going out of the city to fight will lead to death. So it can be predicted that they will not go out of the city, but will stick to the city and not be able to survive."

"Since they don't come out, then we will attack the city by force. I will be the vanguard and break through the city gate." Lu Bu continued, still looking fearless.

"As a general, one cannot rely on one's own bravery to choose the soldiers under his command. What you said about storming the city is simple. If 20 troops are stationed, how many people will die to break through the city gate?" Liu Xie glared at Lu Bu and scolded.

"Your Majesty calm down, I understand."

Lu Bu thought about it for a second, and seemed to have thought of the consequences of storming the city. It must be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

If it is really a strong attack, the 15 army will inevitably lose nearly half, which is in the arms of Guo Bang and the others.

"Wenhe, what strategy do you have in this situation?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu with a testing look.

"Your Majesty must have thought of any strategy that I can think of." Jia Xu's eyes were full of wisdom that penetrated everything.

"Wenhe, don't be a fool, just tell me." Lu Bu said impatiently.

"The battle to eliminate Dong Zhuo's remnants this time is a battle of attacking the heart, and the focus is on the word "attacking the heart." Jia Xu smiled confidently, strategizing.

"How to attack the heart?" Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals all looked at Jia Xu.

"When Dong Zhuo died, only Hua Xiong and Fan Chou followed him in Luoyang, while Guo Si and the others were all sitting in the counties of Sizhou. When Dong Zhuo died, they all fled knowing that there would be no good results, but the Xiliang soldiers under their command certainly did not know. Dong Zhuo is dead, because Guo Si and the others will try their best to cover up such a major event that affects the morale of the army."

"The strategy of attacking the heart, this is the key point." Jia Xu said with a smile, looking at the crowd.

"I understand. Spreading the news of Dong Zhuo's death in Chang'an City will greatly affect Guo Si and other troops and greatly damage their morale." Lu Bu clapped his hands and smiled excitedly.

Chapter 25 Attacking the mind first, the army besieged the city

I heard Lu Bu's excited laughter.

Jia Xu joked in a timely manner: "It's rare that Fengxian can use his brain to think about things."

"Military Master, the general is a little confused." Zhang Liao asked, clasping his hands.

"Wenyuan, but it doesn't matter." Jia Xu stretched out his hand to signal.

"Spreading the news of Dong Zhuo's death sounds simple, but it is actually extremely difficult. After all, Chang'an City is now blocked by Guo Bang's army. Unless it is flown in, I feel that it is impossible to arrange a spy to enter." Zhang Liao put his Worries were spoken out.

"Wen Yuan is right, fly in." Jia Xu smiled mysteriously.

This made the generals in the tent even more surprised and at a loss.

fly?how to fly

"Could it be possible?" Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something: "Shoot the news of Dong Zhuo's death into the city with an arrow, so that the news can be spread?"

"That's right." Jia Xu nodded heavily, his eyes full of calculations: "Schemes can be divided into conspiracy and conspiracy. Conspiracy can be avoided, but conspiracy cannot be avoided no matter what he does, even if he tries to stop it. Impossible."

"Guo Bang has 20 troops guarding Chang'an. It looks like a mighty force, but there are hidden dangers inside. Dong Zhuo's generals are not convinced by anyone. Outside, we are intimidated by the army of the imperial court. Your Majesty's personal conquest is the righteousness of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty. To destroy the rebels, the notice attached to the arrow only needs to be in the name of His Majesty, to inform the city that Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang Army, is dead, and the Son of Heaven will personally conquer. If you abandon your weapons and surrender, you can avoid death. , to destroy the nine clans."

"In short, the strategy to destroy Dong Zhuo's remnants this time is not to attack by force, but to encircle and not attack. The main focus is to attack the heart, supplemented by deterrence. Within ten days, there will be chaos in the city. At that time, our army will be able to forcibly break through the city. Drive straight in and kill the rebels." Jia Xu said coldly, calculating everything.

"Military divisions are wise and wise, and the last general admires them."

After hearing Jia Xu's strategy, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other generals all watched with admiration.

If they were leading the army to conquer, it would be impossible to think so long-term.

"What do you think your Majesty thinks about the strategy of a humble official?" After Jia Xu finished speaking, she looked at Liu Xie respectfully.

After all, he is just a counselor who makes plans, and it is the emperor in front of him, Liu Xie, who really decides whether to use it.

"Yes." Liu Xie nodded with a smile on his brows.

"Lü Bu listens to the order, gather the army tomorrow, and surround the city in shock."

"Zhang Liao, you bring people to prepare a letter of persuasion, and shoot into the city with archers tomorrow, so that it will be destroyed without attack." Liu Xie immediately looked at him and ordered.

"The minister leads the order."

The two said in unison.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what should be written in the persuasion letter?" Zhang Liao asked in awe after hesitating for a while.

After all, this matter is of great importance, and he dare not make decisions without authorization. If Liu Xie's plan is destroyed, he will make a big mistake.

"It was written in the persuasion letter..." Liu Xie stood up, hands behind his back.There was a slight look of thought on his face: "In the past, Dong Zhuo supported his troops with self-respect, invaded Luoyang, disregarded the imperial power, harmed the people, and made the people miserable. Now I have successfully killed the traitor Dong Zhuo and removed his wing Li Ru, but Dong Zhuo is still alive. You don't respect the imperial power, and intend to betray my big man, here, I will personally conquer and sweep the rebellion."

"All Xiliang soldiers in the city are my sons and daughters. I punish rebels and only punish the villains. I can't bear to implicate the innocent. I declare in the name of the emperor of the Han Dynasty that if all the soldiers in the city surrender and submit, I will avoid death. If the leader of the thief can be captured, To punish the rebels, I will give ten thousand gold and seal thousands of households as lords."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"This letter of persuasion not only spread the news of Dong Zhuo's death, but also personally persuaded him to surrender by His Majesty's order. Although the 20 Xiliang soldiers are the sharp swords of rebels, they are my people, the people of Your Majesty, after all. A letter of persuasion written by His Majesty himself is more effective than a million troops besieging the city." Jia Xu said excitedly.

"Based on my oral order, copy at least ten thousand copies of the persuasion letter, and shoot it into the city tomorrow." Liu Xie clapped his hands and made a complete decision.

"Your servant obeys the order." Zhang Liao accepted the order happily.

The next day.

At the moment when the sun is rising, all things and the earth are enjoying the rising sun.
