    Xiahou Dun put a lot of thought into selecting the seriously wounded. He never thought that these people would bite him back.

    He was obviously selected according to Sima Yi¡¯s criteria. First, he must be loyal to Wei King Cao Cao. Second, he must have a high number of enemy kills and have hatred for Yangzhou soldiers.

    ¡° Just like that, all the subordinates have turned against you?

    Xiahou Dun was very angry.

    In fact, the reason is very simple. The stabbing prepared by Xiahou Dun has long been solved secretly by Zhou Buyi.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Clean and neat!

    Even if he is cured, if there are any signs of resistance or disturbing the morale of the army, Zhou Buyi will deal with it directly.

    Therefore, what Xiahou Dun saw was a group of docile surrenderers shouting outside the city.

    "King Cao Cao of Wei was just a eunuch in his ancestors. Now he is in a high position and he doesn't treat us as human beings."

    "Brothers, we work hard, but we can't even get military pay. Not only that, the whole family has to do hard labor. My poor old father, who is eighty years old, still has to work in the fields."

    "It's hard for us to go to war, and it's hard for our parents and children to farm at home. Why are we fighting?"

    Every sentence is heartbreaking!

    At first they were still reciting the lines prepared by Zhou Buji, but later they became more and more sad and spontaneously denounced Cao Cao.

    The defenders in the city felt deeply!

    Why? Most of them don¡¯t want to join the army because they have no future.

    Not only that, you can lose your life if you are not careful.

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that being a deserter would lead to a bad outcome, they would have given up long ago.

    "Brothers, come to Yangzhou Military Camp. King Dongyang will accept us and promise that we don't have to fight!"

    "When the war is over, let us return to the countryside to farm."

    ¡°Our farmland, father, mother, and children are all waiting for us to go back.¡±

    The more you talk about it, the more it confuses people.

    Xiahou Dun was afraid that his soldiers would be shaken if they heard too much, so he ordered that the men and horses on duty be changed, and all the trusted men would go into battle.

    "It's a pity that this can be avoided for a while, but it cannot be avoided for a lifetime."

    If this problem cannot be solved, it will be a matter of time before the military loses morale.

    "What do you think we should do?" Xiahou Dun asked.

    Sima Yi, who was at the bottom, was no longer calm.

    "General, the top priority is to stabilize the morale of the military."

    "Of course I know, but how can I stabilize it?"

    Xiahou Dun was really helpless.

    In order to help his younger brother, Sima Lang went out and said: "General, there is still some money in the city, you might as well distribute it to the soldiers."

    There is no soldier who doesn¡¯t love money. As long as he is bribed, people¡¯s hearts will naturally return to stability.

    "hehe."

    Xia Houlian sneered and said: "To put it lightly, there are more than 250,000 defenders in the city. How much money can you give? Give each person a copper plate?"

    "This" Sima Lang didn't want to do anything anymore. Even if he sold him, he wouldn't be able to get such a reward.

    There is no point in giving less.

    Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "Let the people in the city mobilize."

    "What do you mean?" Xiahou Dun didn't know.

    "The people in the city, many of whom have strong men in their families, join the army, so they select family members who have hatred for the Yangzhou Army to cook for the army, and through their mouths, they promote the brutality of the Yangzhou Army."

    "The day the city is broken is the day when they will become arrogant. If you don't believe me, they won't fight to the death."

    This is Sima Yi¡¯s strategy, intending to distort the facts and instill in the soldiers the idea of ????"the Yangzhou Army is domineering".

    "It's a solution."

    Xiahou Dun reluctantly agreed.

    "Father, leave this matter to your child!" Xia Houmao volunteered.

    "I am the governor of Yanzhou, and it is my duty to do so." Sima Lang also stood up and said.

    In the end, Xiahou Dun handed over the task to the scheming Sima Lang, and Xiahou Mao was very disappointed.

    After the meeting, Xia Houmao couldn¡¯t help complaining in front of his uncle:

    "Father often uses outsiders. It's too difficult for me and the Xiahou family to do anything."

    Xiahou Lian also saw it. For example, Yu Jin, Brother Sima Xiahou Dun liked to use such people.

    "Oh, no matter what, he is your father, so don't lie."

    "My nephew knows that my Xiahou family is too powerful. Although the King of Wei trusts me, we can't push it even further. It's a pity that my uncle is so powerful.Ability, talent.  "Xiahou Mao sighed.

    "By guarding Chenliu, I, the Xiahou clan, will have great achievements."

    Xia Houlian comforted him, saying that after narrowly escaping from death at Lu Bu's hands, he was now more open-minded.

    The shouting continued for two days, causing panic among the people in the city.

    Fortunately, Xiahou Dun took some measures and barely maintained morale.

    However, there was a problem he had to face.

    That means should we send seriously injured soldiers to Yangzhou Military Camp?

    If you continue to give it away, you are a fool. If you don¡¯t give it away, you will offend others.

    Xiahou Dun has a headache.

    Everyone will pursue survival, especially soldiers.

    Letting seriously injured soldiers stay in Chenliu means waiting for death. If a few of them survive, it means they are destined to die.

    ¡°According to the data released by Yangzhou, the probability of survival of seriously injured soldiers sent to the Yangzhou military camp is as high as 50%.

    The soldiers were unconscious and of course unable to make any decisions.

    But they have friends and relatives in the military camp. Once they cause trouble, it will be difficult to deal with it.

    Some ignorant captains often came to Xiahoudun to plead for mercy, not knowing Xiahoudun's hardship.

    As a last resort, Sima Yi came up with a way, which was to use talisman water to treat diseases!

    As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Dun was startled.

    ¡°If you deceive soldiers like this, once you are discovered, the consequences will be even more serious.¡±

    "It doesn't matter." Sima Yi was relatively calm, "The general can send some lightly injured people to mix in, wouldn't the cure rate increase? Gradually, the soldiers will believe that Fu Shui can cure diseases."

    ¡°That¡¯s it!¡±

    Xiahou Dun was forced to make this decision.

    So, under Sima Yi's arrangement, a group of Taoist priests happened to appear and were willing to treat the seriously injured.

    It really works!

    Although many people died, the soldiers can accept it as long as it is not 100%.  Because being injured is a terrible thing, let alone a serious injury.

    This can be regarded as solving a problem that Xiahou Dun had.

    "My lord has said that as long as you surrender or escape from the city, you will receive preferential treatment and will never break his promise."

    The propaganda is still going on, and the effect is still there.

    Every night, Chen Liu's patrolling guards always caught hundreds of deserters, and only a few dozen of them were able to escape from the city.

    Then these surrendered soldiers turned into a propaganda army and launched psychological warfare against the city.

    Xiahou Dun had no choice but to kill batch after batch of escapees, frightening them with the power of killing, and then stopped the situation.

    According to Xiahou Dun¡¯s estimation, sticking to it for another month is not a problem.

    ¡°After just a month, I could only leave it to fate.

    Liu Ke has many choices. Since Chen Liu's progress here is slow, he should speed up the attack of various armies.

    Huang Zhong commanded 50,000 troops. Seven days later, he captured Taishan County and other places. At this point, the entire Yanzhou, except Chenliu County, fell into Liu Ke's hands.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
