"You don't need to praise me." Dong Zhaosha smiled and shook his head. "It's as I expected. This is what you wanted to do."

Gongsun Xun also immediately nodded and admitted: "Indeed, the benefit of the river belongs to me. I can go south or north as I wish. In this case, I can use the iron rope boat to travel north and south randomly and make the bandits confused. Also, Gongren also asks

continue."

"Also..." Dong Zhao couldn't help but look calm. "Secondly, we can actually follow the example of the Yellow Turban Thief and Cheng Li, either surrendering troops, strong men, or simply civilians... In short, we can move forward with coercion,

Gather a crowd to attack the city?"

"What does this mean?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but frown and asked.

"I dare to ask your lord," Dong Zhao said calmly. "If I don't come today, what will you do tomorrow? Are you going to drive our elite knights to dismount and attack the city?"

Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment, but finally he had no choice but to admit: "I understand what Gongren means... Yes, if there is really no good method, we will have to use the white horses of the Yellow Turban Thieves, the prisoners of Yan County, to force them to attack the city! And!

If the defenders are still like this in Weixiang in the next battle, I'm afraid they will have to take advantage of the situation to gather the prisoners in Weixiang, continue to hold them captive, and continuously gather people to attack the city!"

"But the situation has to be a last resort, and you don't want to do this, right?" Dong Zhao asked eagerly. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to check for flaws in the Tucheng alone?"

"That's right." Gongsun Xun didn't try to hide it. "Although this method is effective, I don't want to do it more... But if there is no other way, I can only do it this way. Gongren, I must be the commander-in-chief of an army.

When two armies are fighting, something must be done when necessary!"

"It is rare for a prince to be kind and virtuous." Dong Zhao sighed. "Actually, my home is located in Dingtao, Jiyin, a few dozen miles southeast of Wei Township. Most of the counties in Yanzhou have small terrain, so this place is just like me.

Our country is like a country, and the princes don't want their lives to be ruined. How can I want to see such a situation? Maybe there are our fellow villagers from Jiyin in this Wei Township!"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but look up at the other party again: "In that case, Gongren must have a third universal counterinsurgency strategy?"

"Yes, there is one more." Dong Zhao clasped his hands and said. "Yesterday I heard the good news in Yan County, and I was quite impressed... Junhou, you said that if we can drive the local troops to surrender and the strong men to attack the city, how can we drive the powerful and powerful people here to attack the city?

What about siege?"

"What's the difference? Aren't powerful families driving their own poor peasants to attack the city? It's better to use prisoners!"

Gongsun Xun almost blurted out such thoughts, but he did not say them out after all. Instead, he suddenly came to his senses.

By the way, Gongsun Xun had a deeper understanding of the nature of the Yellow Turban Army at this time... The top leaders of the Yellow Turban Army at this time were out-and-out religious people who wanted to rebel and establish Huang Tian, ​​but the middle and upper levels generally

There are powerful wealthy people everywhere who are dissatisfied with their future, while the lower classes are the people who really have no place to stand.

To put it roughly, the top and middle levels typically use each other, and then they work together to use the people at the bottom to achieve things. But at this time, let alone the stubbornness of the top and the terrifying power of the bottom, just say that these are purely speculators

The middle and upper classes are actually the most easily shaken among the Yellow Turban thieves! The Battle of Yan County clearly demonstrated the objective existence of this phenomenon.

So the so-called siege of the city is at the bottom and the heart is at the top. Compared with sending troops to attack the city and turning to the local powerful to attack the city, it is to attack the city and attack the heart!

This strategy is excellent, and indeed has universal applicability, or has strategic guiding significance... In short, Dong Gongren came to offer this strategy today, and it lived up to his ingenuity and Gongsun Xun's expectations of him.

Seeing Gongsun Xun suddenly enlightened, Dong Zhao also smiled honestly, and then continued to analyze: "Junhou, think about it, when these powerful men saw that the Yellow Turban Thief was so powerful, how many of them did not separate some of their disciples to fight with them?

? Even if there are none, or the whole family is a bandit, how many of the powerful Yellow Turban thieves have no relatives and friends in the surrounding counties? And how many of these relatives and friends are not powerful people? "

Gongsun Xun came back to his senses, looked at the other party thoughtfully, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Gongren, are there any powerful families near Wei Township?"

"I don't know." Dong Zhao shook his head repeatedly. "I am from Jiyin, how do I know the situation in Dongjun? But I know that the Li family of Jiyincheng family has more than tens of thousands of hidden household registrations in the family? His clan members even more

They are spread all over Jiyin, Dongjun, Chenliu, Rencheng, Shanyang... They are the first-class big households in the entire Yanzhou!"

Gongsun Xun raised his head and thought for a long time, but suddenly he shouted: "I forgot where I was. Someone once told me that there was a heroic man named Li Jin from the Li family in Jiyin. This man had tens of thousands of people.

My husband is not very brave, but he is full of economical talent. Unfortunately, he offended a fellow villager named Dong for some reason, so he wasted his time... And now our army is frustrated by Wei Township and has been unable to win for a long time. It is time to treat the virtuous corporal and look for talented people.

! To be honest, Gongren, I am preparing to go to conquer this person in person, would you like to come with me to see him? Chengshi is only a few dozen miles away from here!"

Dong Zhao couldn't help but clasp his hands and purse his lips.

ps: Li Jin, the Li Dian family is extremely powerful. Li Dian’s family is in Shanyang, and Li Jin should be in the Cheng family. After the death of Li Jin and his son, according to historical records, the Li family, which has experienced war, still has more than 3,000 households in the Cheng family.

There are tens of thousands of people. For this reason, Li Dian specifically requested that his people be moved to Yecheng as hostages to avoid Cao Cao's fear. As for Dong Zhao's evaluation, it actually comes from Hu Sansheng, the original text is no less than Er Xun. Also
