Chapter 689

Three days is fleeting.

These three days, bu Zhou took the barbarian leader to the place where the barbarian was detained.

What Bu Zhou and the leaders of the barbarians did was to persuade all the people to submit and let them completely stand by Liu Xiu.

In addition to the language gap between the barbarians and the Chinese, there are also differences in their own conditions.

Bu Zhou was very clever. He went directly to the tough people among the barbarians and asked them to complain.

One by one, the barbarians complained about their hardship.

Such a move has led to other barbarians.

At the same time, bu Zhou began to publicize the preferential treatment of barbarians in Chu and the current situation of Wuxi barbarians in Wuling county.

After a series of actions, countless savages were moved.

For ordinary barbarians, they must have real benefits. Only when they see that they have clothes and food to eat can they be moved.

For the barbarian leaders, they need to be given enough benefits.

In this way, all the barbarians were obedient.

Bu Zhou reported the news to Zhang Yan, who then reported it to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was generous with praise, and last time he went to buy some brocade and silk from Zhou. Zhou was excited for a while.

When Zhang finished all this, he began to deploy troops.

Liu Xiu has given him the power to deal with it. Zhang jaw naturally wants to seize the opportunity.

Zhang Yan left the camp and headed for Chengdu.

Most of these soldiers are barbarians.

Liu Xiu led the army and held down the rear.

Jia Xu followed Liu Xiushen on horseback and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yan is very well organized. This man, the first good general. "

Liu Xiu said: "Zhang jaw is really good. At the beginning, Xu Shu convinced him that it was a wonderful move."

Jia Xu also nodded.

Jia Xu also admired Xu Shu for entering Luoyang alone in the past.

If it were him, he would not.

Jia Xu always believed that a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, and he would not let himself be in danger.

"Step on it! Step on it

As the army marched along, the sound of a horse's hoof came from behind.

A royal guard came to Deng Zhan, whispered a few words, and then handed over a letter.

After Deng Zhan took over, he came to Liu Xiu's side and said, "king, I just received the news from the rear. Cao Jun really began to attack Nanyang County, but Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and others were in the army, and Cao Jun did not advance. On the other hand, in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu also made a fierce attack, intending to enter Jiangxia County, but taishici's presence also blocked Zhou Yu's attack. At present, the overall situation is not affected. "

He said it briefly and handed in the letter.

Liu Xiu opened the letter and scanned it quickly.

After reading the letter, there was a dignified look on Liu Xiu's face.

Seeing this, Jia Xu said with a thump in his heart, "king, apart from Jiangdong and Cao Jun, is there any change?"

Liu xiudao: "there is no change for the time being."

"However, Kuai liang from the rear also wrote a letter saying that there was a lot of pressure on grain in the continuous war."

"We started a war with Cao Cao and then came to Yizhou. Now there are wars in Nanyang and Jiangxia."

"There are wars everywhere and food is needed everywhere, so the burden is heavy."

"Kuai Liang suggested that we end the war in Yizhou within two months," Liu said. He said that once winter comes, the burden will be heavier. "

After hearing this, Jia Xu said with emotion: "war is like this. Money and grain are used like running water."

As soon as the war broke out, the gold was ten thousand taels.

Wars have always been costly.

It took Liu Xiu two years to recuperate before he dared to fight Cao Cao.

But now, with a few more battlefields, Jingzhou is under great pressure, especially the turmoil in granary Yizhou, which has affected the food supply.

Pang Tong said: "according to the current situation, it won't take two months, just a few days. Even if we take into account the follow-up, it will not take two months. "

Liu Xiu said, "I hope so!"

……

Chengdu City, on the tower.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stood above, and the leaders of various barbarian tribes were also there.

Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "Lord, it has been a few days now, but no news has been sent back from the front line, and Liu Xiu has not moved. It seems that Liu Xiu will not retreat for the time being. He will concentrate his forces to solve us. "

There was a touch of worry on Liu Bei's face.

Can we get through this?

Liu Bei is not optimistic about his current situation.

"Dong! Dong

The rumble of war drums sounded outside the city.

Here we go!

Liu Bei's eyes became more nervous when he heard the sound of war drums.

With the distance getting closer, Liu Bei saw the situation outside the city.At this time, the soldiers outside the city were not the soldiers of the state of Chu, but the ragged and even many barehanded barbarians.

When Liu Bei saw this situation, his heart burst.

What's going on?

How can there be a barbarian.

What's more, Liu Bei saw that these barbarians were not tied up, but were arranged by the generals of the state of Chu.

Liu Bei was surprised.

Liu Bei said, "what do you think is the situation, military adviser?"

Zhuge Liang was also puzzled. He couldn't figure out what was going on outside the city.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Zhuge Liang made preparations for the war by responding to all changes with constancy.

At this time, we must hold our ground.

With the distance getting closer, many barbarian tribal leaders on the castle also saw the situation and talked about it one by one, with a strange look in their eyes.

The situation on the tower began to be impetuous.

Even the morale of the army began to fluctuate.

Zhang Yan led the army to stop forty feet outside the city.

He looked up at the tower, with a faint smile on his lips.

This time, he wants to make Liu Bei completely flustered.

"Archer, prepare!"

Open your jaw and order directly.

With a single order, more than 4000 barbarian soldiers took out their long bows, put their bows and arrows on the bowstring, and the arrows aimed at the city tower.

After Zhou and others' persuasion, they all returned.

And this time, they went out with Zhang.

However, the bows and arrows they used were specially made, because each bow and arrow helped with a note.

The purpose of archery is not to kill barbarians, but to convey information.

Zhang ordered: "shoot the arrow!"

At the command, the flag sways.

"Whew! Whew

More than 4000 bows and arrows roared out, with the sound of breaking the air, across the sky in an instant, and then rushed straight to the city tower.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang quickly let the shield soldiers resist and the soldiers hide.

Many bows and arrows flew to the city floor, some fell to the ground, some hit the beam, some hit the barbarian soldiers, and the notes on these bows and arrows soon attracted the attention of countless barbarians.

One by one, they were all taken apart to have a look, and then bursts of noise came out.

Many barbarians are illiterate, but there are also literate people.

As soon as someone publicized it, the news spread quickly.

The note on the bow and arrow is not a declaration of war or a threat, but a call for surrender. It's a call for barbarians. Moreover, many of the letters above are written in barbarian style.

When the news spread, the barbarians became restless.

When they saw the situation on the note and learned the benefits of complying with Liu Xiu, they were naturally excited.

At this moment, the hearts of the barbarians under Liu Bei were floating.
