The first thousand three hundred and fifty chapters have money to talk about
Don't dare! This sentence expresses the voice of all the soldiers in Fengdu City. They dare to fight back against Zhang Ren's troops, or even massacre them. But if they want them to shoot Zhang Ren to death, they dare not.
Why?.
Zhang Ren was like a god of war in Yizhou, with countless battles of all sizes, and the legend of Zhang Ren had been circulating throughout Yizhou. The only one who could compare with Zhang Ren was Yan Yan in Yizhou.
"What a courage!" Chen Xiu was both angry and shocked.
The angry thing was that a little archer dared to refute him like this, but the shock was that Zhang Ren said something and had such consequences, which was very fatal.
"Dare to violate military orders! Come and pull down! Twenty military sticks!" Chen Xiu issued a military order.
Chen Xiu's personal soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled the archer down.
"General, please spare me!" Twenty-year-old sticks would kill people, and the archers kept begging Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu pretended that he could not hear it. Kill the chicken to warn the monkey! This soldier who is an archer is unlucky.
Chen Xiu jumped up and down on the city wall. Zhang Ren saw it and was happy. He had a lot of face. After saying a few words, the soldiers in Fengdu City were all as well-behaved as lambs.
"Soldiers, Liu Bei is the most insidious and cunning person in the world. He does unjust things in the name of benevolence and righteousness and cannot help the evil. If you are stubborn, you will eventually die without a place to bury him!" Zhang Ren continued.
This is how Zhang Ren speaks generously and hits the core.
The soldiers in Fengdu City were all hesitant. They joined the army in Yizhou because they had a good meal and could support their families.
Fengdu City only has 3,000 troops, but the opponent has more than 10,000 troops. This strength is too great, so there seems to be no hope of defending Fengdu City.
Some people looked at Chen Xiu with a bad expression. This guy is the garrison of Fengdu City. If he is killed and given the head to General Zhang Ren, wouldn’t that be a great contribution?
Yes, when they can't beat it, some people began to think about surrendering.
What does the battle between big people have to do with them? If you win, you won’t have anything to do. Better big people will show compassion and give you a meal of meat. In fact, that’s all.
Chen Xiu keenly felt the bad eyes of some soldiers and immediately shouted: "Everyone cheers up the general, the enemy can attack at any time. What are you doing?"
Some soldiers with ulterior motives slowly moved closer to Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu was very anxious. It seemed that he was in big trouble this time. This keen observation is the key to Liu Bei's promotion of Chen Xiu.
Zhang Ren has been paying attention to the movements of the city walls and the subtle movements of the Fengdu defenders, and he could not see carefully. But he could find that Chen Xiu seemed to be isolated.
For Zhang Ren, this is a good thing. Zhang Ren believes that if he works harder, he will be able to win Fengdu without any blood.
I wanted to start attacking Fengdu in a hurry before, but I couldn't defeat it several times, wasting a lot of soldiers' lives. If I had known this, Zhang Ren wouldn't be so impulsive.
Zhang Ren decided to increase his fire and shouted: "Soldiers, don't be used by Liu Bei. Kill the lackeys beside Liu Bei, and join the royal army! Join the court!"
Hearing Zhang Ren's words, the defenders in Fengdu City smiled in their eyes. It seemed that just as they thought, as long as they killed Chen Xiu, they could directly serve the court and save their lives.
Chen Xiu's hand was already on the hilt of the knife, and he felt that he was in a very dangerous situation.
A major change is about to begin!
A sudden enlightenment flashed through Chen Xiu's mind, and after thinking about it carefully, he was overjoyed.
"Soldiers, don't believe Zhang Ren's nonsense. Do you think you will have a good life when you get to Zhang Ren's side? It's completely nonsense! The Shenwu court is very strict in the management of soldiers. If there is any wrong, you will have to kill and attack. At the same time, joining the Shenwu court like you can only be used as a siege soldier. Don't be deceived by Zhang Ren! He is not a general in Yizhou now, but a general in the Shenwu court. He will not care about your life or death." Chen Xiu's eloquence is still OK.
The soldiers hesitated, and what Chen Xiu said seemed to make sense. They didn't know what was going on in the Shenwu court. Zhang Ren is not a general from Yizhou now, and he is pretending to be himself. If he were himself, would he take what he said seriously? Besides, Zhang Ren did not promise anything.
Seeing the soldiers hesitated, Chen Xiu calmed down and even gave a big gift, saying, "Soldiers, it's hard for everyone to guard Fengdu. I decided to repel Zhang Ren, open the treasury and reward the soldiers well, everyone has a share!"
"Wow!" These words were like a gust of wind, which amaze all the soldiers in Fengdu City.
You should know that the treasury in Fengdu City is very full. If they are taken out to share it with everyone, they will all make a fortune.
"Soldiers! General Wei has sent reinforcements and will arrive soon! At this time, we must defend Fengdu tightly and not let Zhang Ren succeed." Chen Xiu made his last effort. Whether it will succeed depends on what the soldiers think.
The soldiers in Fengdu City were all moved. Compared to surrendering to Zhang Ren, it seemed that the benefits of defending the situation were greater. If Zhang Ren surrendered to Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren would eventually break his promise and dismiss them, or arrange to be cannon fodder. At that time, I would be the one who would be the slaughter and fish, and there would be no place to cry. Without this bowl of rice that is guaranteed to be harvested, these soldiers would not know where to find food.
The soldiers believed that Chen Xiu would not lie. Chen Xiu and his personal soldiers were at most twenty people. If they repent of their promises in front of so many people, unless Chen Xiu didn't want to live. Even if Chen Xiu turned against him, the soldiers were not afraid. At worst, they would open the treasury and divide the things inside equally. Anyway, Chen Xiu said such words, it would be impossible not to give them.
Why are these soldiers like this?
The reason is that these defenders like to gamble and have fun while they are idle. They are too comfortable and they all want to live a relaxed and prosperous life. Unfortunately, as ordinary soldiers, how can they change their destiny in this evil old society? As small people, money is very important to them, more important than their lives.
"We are willing to die for the general!" The soldiers said this from the bottom of their hearts.
As long as you have money, these soldiers will care whether you are Zhang Ren or Chen Xiu. If you give enough benefits, they will be loyal to anyone.
The wind direction changed suddenly.
Even Zhang Ren, who was waiting under the city to open the door and surrender, felt even more incredible. He could feel every move of the city wall.
"What's going on?" Zhang Ren couldn't understand that he felt that he was about to succeed just now? Why did he become so fast!
However, Chen Xiu did not give Zhang Ren any more time to consider and immediately ordered: "Arrowman, shoot! Kill Zhang Ren, upgrade to three levels in a row, and the bounty is 100!"
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. The archers who did not dare to shoot Zhang Ren before are now raising their bows and pulling the strings, rushing to fire feather arrows at Zhang Ren.
The sudden feather arrow scared Zhang Ren and hurriedly avoided quickly. But Zhang Ren was still a little slower and was shot by a feather arrow in his arm.
"I shot! I shot!" an archer said happily.
Zhang Ren covered his arm, looked at Fengdu City hatefully, and then returned to his camp.
"It's just a little bit short of shooting Zhang Ren." Chen Xiu sighed.
He did not shoot Zhang Ren, but shooting Zhang Ren's arm was also a great achievement. Chen Xiu came to the archer who shot Zhang Ren and said with appreciation: "It's done well. What's your name?"
"General, my name is Wu Da." The archer laughed so hard that his teeth came out.
"I did a good job! You will grow up in the future! Work harder in the future!" Chen Xiu happily gave a position.
"Thank you, General!" Wu Dahuan was so happy that he ate bee shit.
The other soldiers looked envious and secretly scolded Wu Da for leaving his luck and could actually shoot Zhang Ren with one arrow. Everyone was obviously shot together, but this guy succeeded. What is it? Sometimes luck is very important. They now understand that what Chen Xiu said and did, and they would have to work hard in the future. If they successfully shot, their official position and bounty would be perfect.
From this point of view, for these soldiers, the obvious reward is very important and can convince them.
Chen Xiu sighed inwardly that if he had known this, there would not have been so many twists and turns.
As a military general promoted by Liu Bei, after Chen Xiu came to Fengdu City, he used the methods of loving soldiers like his sons to win people's hearts with various military generals. Who would have thought there would be no good results? Now it seems that Chen Xiu did not notice the key to this team.
"General!" Wu Da, who had just been promoted to the position of the leader, said in front of Chen Xiu with a smile: "You just said that killing Zhang Ren will be worth 100 gold and upgrading to three levels. I almost killed Zhang Ren a little bit, and this official position was promoted. Should I give some bounty?"
Chen Xiu was so angry that he didn't get sick, and this guy still wanted a bounty.
Having said that, all the positions were given, Chen Xiu didn't care about the bounty anymore, and waved his hand and said, "I will give you a gold!"
"It's only one gold?! Can it be more?" This amount does not seem to meet Wu Da's mental estimate.
"It's better to be more and more!" Chen Xiu really wanted to kill the hateful guy in front of him with one knife. He only had a monthly salary of only 1 month. Taking out a gold price was already a heavy bleeding. Wu Da was not satisfied, which was really hateful.
But Chen Xiu needs to use this guy as a typical example now, so he said with a smile: "Isn't Zhang Ren still alive? This money is a reward for you. I promise you that as long as you can shoot Zhang Ren and get promoted to the third level again, there is no problem with the bounty of 100."
"One gold is one gold." Wu Da thought about it and accepted the facts, as if he had suffered so much grievance.
The aggrieved look made the big knife around Chen Xiu’s waist feel ready.
"Don't care too much about such people." Chen Xiu helplessly asked his personal soldiers to get a gold and gave the gold to Wu Da in front of everyone.
General Wu Jinzi hid in his chest, as if he was some treasure.
The other soldiers looked straight at it. Many of them had never seen gold in their lives, let alone own it. One gold was enough for any of them to be free for a long time.
Wu Daqian retreated with gratitude, holding a bow and arrow in his arms, staring at Zhang Ren in the distance, as if he wanted to do another shot. If the gold hidden in his chest had bulged the armor, it would have been a bit of an elite demeanor.
After sending Wu Da, Chen Xiu shouted loudly: "Everyone cheers up for me! Repel Zhang Ren, I will give you great rewards. I will also ask for me! Today is the day when I make a name for myself!"
"Magnificent!" The soldiers of Fengdu City responded loudly to Chen Xiu's call.
The sounds around Chen Xiu were relieved, and the crisis was finally over.
However, Chen Xiu held a grudge against the soldiers of Fengdu City in his heart.
"After repelling Zhang Ren, I must replace all of you bastards! Especially Wu Da, do you think my money is so easy to get? I'll have to spit it out sooner or later!" Chen Xiu's face was calm, but he began to count all these soldiers in his heart.
He is not a member of the same place, and he doesn't enter the same door. Liu Bei, who likes to settle accounts after the autumn, has the same trick as his newly recruited subordinates. He is really as dark as a crow in the world.
Zhang Ren returned to his camp and pulled out the feather arrow that stabbed into his arm. The feather arrow stained with blood was pulled out intact, and the wound on Zhang Ren's arm was constantly flowing with blood. The soldiers around Liu Jun looked at this posture and their arms were painful. If they were them, they would definitely not have such great courage and patience to do this.
"Damn it!" Zhang Ren broke the feather arrow and threw it on the ground, cursing: "I was actually plotted against by these miscellaneous pieces! I'm so angry!"
I took action and shouted, and the situation at the beginning was also in Zhang Ren's expectation. I never expected such a reversal. I was even hit by an arrow, and this loss was a big loss.
What Zhang Ren could conclude is what Chen Xiu said, which made the soldiers in Fengdu City change their minds.
"Chen Xiu! He is a talent! This general is suffering a loss this time. After breaking the city, you will definitely be saved by your life!" Zhang Ren developed a strong interest in Chen Xiu's ability.
If Zhang Ren knew that Chen Xiu was using the treasury of Fengdu City to change the hearts of the defenders, he might not have thought so.
Sometimes, too high-end words and promises are not as direct as white and golden money.
I can only blame Zhang Ren for not being very lucky. He met a group of people who value money over righteousness, which was useless to say so many things under Fengdu City.
