Chapter 445: Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world
As the singing became closer, Zhou Yu instinctively felt fear.
Even if it is organized and the workers holding weapons in their hands, it is absolutely impossible for them to advance so quickly when facing the well-trained Wu army soldiers, so...
The local soldiers undoubtedly let them go and deliberately let them go.
It may even be a rebel and joining the rebels. After all, the trick of the Han Dynasty is still very tempting to the lower-level Qianshou, and ordinary soldiers of the Eastern Wu are still the Qianshou in essence.
I'm afraid I'm going to lose.
"Send the order, all Yangzhou will gather together to protect me by my side, and don't do anything else!"
But I was afraid that these Yangzhou soldiers would not be able to come back after being sent out or simply betrayed.
Of course, his own elite soldiers are all full-time Yangzhou soldiers, which is definitely reliable, but the number is a bit small. At this moment, every point of his troops must be used on the blade.
Is it okay with the shore defense line?
Of course it was not good. Soon, the direction of the riverbank defense line also received news of the Great Rebellion of Yiyang. Everyone was worried, their morale dropped sharply, and they were even ready to move.
Besides, this riot was commanded by Guo Jia, who quickly occupied the entire Yiyang. Seeing that Zhou Yu's central army could not move under the elite guards of Yangzhou, he wisely divided the troops into two.
Half of them continued to besiege Zhou Yu, but in fact they did not expect them to really kill Zhou Yu, but as long as they could hold Zhou Yu down, even if they only held him for a few hours, it would be a great victory.
Guo Jia personally dragged the sick body and led the remaining half of the mobs to the shore military camp, and ordered everyone to shout: "Zhou Yu is dead~, Yiyang has returned to Han~."
"Brothers, we are liberated~ Join us, join the great man, let's create a beautiful new world together~"
Anyway, it was all some words that shook people's hearts, which made Wu Jun confused.
Seeing this, Guan Yu naturally would not be idle. He personally took a small boat again, connected a long folding wooden board behind the boat, and built several floating bridges.
The huge Han army rolled along the floating bridge.
Being attacked from both sides, this time, it was difficult for them to organize the counterattack calmly.
Seeing the Han army coming like a tide, the riot army behind them was getting closer and closer. It seemed that the number was boundless. The morale, which was originally not high, soon fell into collapse.
After all, Yiyang is gone, so what's the use of winning this battle?
Zhou Yu is dead, what's the point of fighting this battle?
Seeing the enemy's morale depressed, Guo Jia gritted his teeth and ordered people to lift him to a high place, and he wanted to shout.
"Mr. Guo, this is too dangerous!"
"Do you think I have a few days left to live? I know my body."
As he said that, Guo Jia took a deep breath, then raised the fake yellow axe in his hand high and shouted: "I am one of the nine ministers of the great Han Dynasty, can you recognize this thing?"
"This is Huang Yue of the Han Dynasty. Seeing it, it is like the emperor coming in person. I would like to assure you as an angel that after you win this battle, you will measure the land again. If you are unwilling to join the army, each of you will cultivate the land. All the people of our great men and officials and gentry will pay food together, and you will never receive a captive tax!"
"If you are still willing to join the army, you will no longer have any taxes or corvee service. You will accumulate merits and you will get shares in a large state-owned enterprise factory when you retire in the future and become a superior life. The masters of the country, you, and your descendants will be away from the pain of cold and cold!"
After saying that, Guo Jia started coughing heavily, and it took a while to stop, but no one continued to interrupt him when he was coughing.
"Everyone, you and I are the same language and race, we are all family members! Are you really willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the ambitious family? We are all people of the Han Dynasty!"
With a clang, it was the sound of weapons throwing on the ground.
As the clang and chugged, more and more weapons were thrown to the ground, until finally, all the shore defense troops in Changsha County surrendered and the war ended.
So much so that when Guan Yu finally got ashore and was preparing for a tough battle, he shook his head and smiled bitterly again: I won’t be able to fight anymore.
At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was protected by Tuantuan, was also sighing: I won’t be able to fight anymore.
This battle is completely different from what I imagined. There has never been such an example from ancient times to the present.
"A major change that has not been seen in a thousand years, let's go and break through."
"Do you break through the shore defense camp?"
"It's too late, go to Jiaozhou. Jingnan has died in the county and can't be defended."
"Go... to Jiaozhou, do you have a great war with the Han army?"
"That's all. Try to get more time for Bofu, maybe there will be a turnaround."
The guard was silent after hearing this, and after a long time, he said, "Is there really a turning point?"
"Who knows, so this is a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years."
After saying that, he was clean and neat, leading his personal guards to break through without any hesitation. That night, he retreated to Linxiang, the county seat of Changsha County.
After only one night in Linxiang, he packed the food and grass in the city and continued to flee south. However, he refused to burn the remaining grain before the escape, but chose to distribute the grain to ordinary people and win over the hearts of the people.
Zhou Yu knew very well that the Han army could cross the river, but it took time for the Han Dynasty to cross the river to cross the food and supplies.
After learning that Changsha was lost, Sun Ce would definitely fall into madness. Waves of navy will definitely go west and do his best to block the transportation lines of the Han Dynasty. This kind of thing is not difficult for the Eastern Wu.
Therefore, even if Guan Yu occupied Changsha, it would definitely not be easy for him to obtain supplies from Nanjun. These precious grains are the lifeline of the Han army.
Although burning it is the safest and easiest way, Zhou Yu suddenly sent them all to the people of Guizhou.
What will you do? Guan Yu.
Will the Han army, which has always advocated justice and benevolence and actually achieved victory with the word "people's heart" turn to point its blade at these people and rob the food?
Zhou Yu has keenly realized that the way of war has changed unknowingly.
There is no battle for power on the battlefield, only the people's will.
Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!
If Guan Yu turned to grab the food, he might not have no chance to counterattack Changsha!
Finally, he turned around and looked at Linxiang's direction deeply. Zhou Yu led his remnant defeated general in a hurried manner. He did not dare to delay the journey for a moment, and ran straight to Shi'an, Lingling County, which is Guilin in later generations.
This is the gateway to Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou, which was originally the rear of their Eastern Wu, has now become the gateway to the entire Eastern Wu.
