Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 560 Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top

That day Zhang Wuji and others finally arrived, in the camp of the Fashu commander at the foot of Mount Emei.

Right now in the whole of Bashu, only Yuzhou, Chengdu, and Emei have not been conquered.

It was impossible to conquer Yuzhou because Yuzhou was heavily defended, and it was impossible to conquer Chengdu because the Ming army's siege equipment was still in transit and had not yet arrived.

As for Emei still holding on, it was because Li Siqi didn't want to fight, nor did he dare to fight.

Although Li Siqi is a general, he is also a cunning old man with many years of ups and downs in his career.

This Emei faction has a deep relationship with Empress Zhou Zhiruo, and Su Mengqing, the number one hero in this operation to break Shu, is also from the Emei faction.

Although Li Siqi was a little confused about the entanglements involved, he didn't dare to do it lightly.They just sent people up to persuade them to surrender.

However, Miejue Shitai's attitude is even firmer than Dai Shou's.Even the envoy sent up the mountain died directly under Miejue Shitai's sword before he could speak.

Although Li Siqi was a bit embarrassed, he could only wait for Zhang Wuji's arrival before making any plans.

After Zhang Wuji and his party arrived at the camp, Li Siqi told them about these recent events.Then ask Zhang Wuji for his opinion.

"What! Miejue Shitai is so ignorant! Killing innocent people indiscriminately with the martial arts of the Nine Yin Manual!" the yellow-shirted woman said angrily.

Huang Shannu is the supervisor of the Yitian Dragon Slaying Project. At present, Miejue Shitai does not use the martial arts of the Nine Yin Manual to benefit the martial arts, but instead "helps the evildoers" and "seeks for personal gain".This made the yellow shirt woman quite angry.

Hoga, who was sitting by the side, said, "Oh? This old lady has a lot of personality. I would like to meet her in person. Let's see if she is worthy of the name of extinction."

Although Zhang Wuji wanted to complain, Huoga was too young for the Exterminator.But the current situation is not the time to joke.

At this time, everyone looked at Zhou Zhiruo and Su Mengqing.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Su Mengqing waved his hands and said, "Don't look at me. When I provided you with food, I already betrayed Master. And Master's temperament is like this. I can't help it."

The girl in yellow looked at Zhou Zhiruo, and said, "Empress, what's your opinion? What should we do?"

Zhou Zhiruo is also caught in a dilemma right now. On the one hand, Miejue Shitai has been kind to her in nurturing her, so of course she doesn't want Miejue Shitai to suffer any harm.

But Miejie Shitai killed innocent people indiscriminately first, and she is now the queen of the Ming Dynasty and the mother of a country.Naturally, you have to consider your own country and country.

On the one hand, it is the family affection of the kindness of nurturing, on the other hand, it is justice and morality, and one's own position.For a while, she couldn't answer.

Zhao Min said at this time: "Okay. Juejueshi is too perverse and must be punished. You let Zhiruo make up her mind, isn't it difficult for her. Now the whole Bashu is under our control, and there are only three people left. It's a place. It's not a big deal."

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min and asked, "Minmin, what do you think?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Min began to assign tasks to everyone.

Zhao Min said: "First of all, our top priority is to take down Yuzhou City and get through the last obstacle between Jingxiang and Bashu. Yuzhou City is the most important thing." Zhao Min looked at Dai Qisi and Huojia, "Huojia Sister, Aunt Dai, please work hard and go to General Zhao’s camp to help him. Help him capture Yuzhou City and capture the little emperor Mingsheng alive.”

When Zhao Min said the word "captured alive", he intentionally accentuated his tone a little bit.Although others didn't recognize it, Huo Jia and Dai Qisi, who had secretly communicated the song with Zhao Min before, knew it well.

Huojia replied: "Don't worry, this matter is on our shoulders. It also counts as me doing something for this brat and returning his favor."

Zhang Wuji didn't speak, but just smiled lightly.

Zhao Min continued to make arrangements: "As for Miejue Shitai, with our group of people around, a mere Emei faction is nothing. No matter how strong Miejue Shitai's martial arts are, it must not be stronger than the original leader Huojia. Brother Wuji and Sister Yang are invincible, but we all work together, unless she is Zhang Zhenren, otherwise, she has no chance of winning."

"As for the city of Chengdu, this is the easiest. You don't have to wait for any siege equipment. Since ancient times, attacking the enemy has always been based on attacking the heart. Now Bashu is all in our hands, and Chengdu has become an isolated city. And we don't kill soldiers, don't Harm the common people. This is obvious to all.”

"As long as we invite some famous local sages and soldiers who surrendered, go to the city of Chengdu to persuade them to surrender. Tell the defenders in the city a limited surrender date. If they surrender, everyone will be safe. If you don't surrender after the date, After the Ming army broke through the city, no chickens or dogs were left behind. With this combination of grace and power, I think that even if Dai Shou refuses to surrender, his soldiers and the people in the city will have their own ideas."

Finally Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji and asked, "Brother Wuji, what do you think?"

Zhang Wuji said: "That's very good. But even if they don't surrender, we can't harm the people after we break the city. This is the principle. The rest is nothing, just follow what you said, Minmin."

Li Siqi stood up at this moment, cupped his hands and said: "If that's the case, then the general will go to prepare."

Zhang Wuji also said: "Then General Lao Li has to worry about everything."

After saying that, Li Siqi withdrew from the camp and arranged for a heart attack against Chengdu City.

After everyone agreed, they all started their own preparations.

Huo Jia took Dai Qisi, Pasha, and Huiyue Envoy to Zhao Qi's military camp to help in the battle with Zhang Wuji's letter.

And Zhao Min also personally wrote a "Letter to the People in the City".Use this to attack your heart.

The content of this persuasion letter is also very simple.

That is to say, Chengdu is already an isolated city, and there is no point in sticking to it.

The reason why the Ming army was reluctant to attack was because His Majesty Mingzun was kind and didn't want to see people in ruins.Moreover, after the soldiers and civilians in other places surrendered, the Ming army did not commit any crimes.People and soldiers need not have any scruples about surrendering.

If they did not surrender for a long time, after the Ming army finally broke through the city, it would be the common people who were killed or injured.There is no need for the common people and all the soldiers to be buried with the high-ranking officials of the Ming Xia regime.

Although the letter did not mention surrender within a time limit, and the massacre of the city after not surrendering, it was shocking enough.

After all, your life is your own. After you surrender, the other party not only does not kill, but also treats the prisoners preferentially.And the city has no meaning of sticking to it, so why not surrender.

Soon, the "letter to surrender" drafted by Zhao Min himself was circulated and copied thousands of copies by the military chiefs.

Afterwards, he shot into the city of Chengdu with loud arrows. Seeing the "surrender leaflets" scattered in the city, the people circulated them one after another.

Although most of them are illiterate, after a small number of people recite, the hearts of the people in the city have begun to float.

And a few days later, all the surrendering soldiers Li Siqi recruited and local village sages also arrived at the foot of Chengdu.

The final "psychological general attack" on the defenders in Chengdu began.
