Chapter 1123 The Yellow Turban Campaign in Yangzhou Ends
Ignoring Zhou Cang's panic and his thoughts, Lin Mu continued: "Surrender, don't resist!"
In fact, he was really afraid that Zhou Cang would fight back and break through to the north wall. After all, there are still many Yellow Turbans over there!
If Zhou Cang did so, he might take those remnants and break through Yuan Shu's siege or his siege, and live freely in Jiujiang County or Danyang County.
At that time, Zhou Cang might be more cautious and more difficult to deal with!
Maybe Zhou Cang will be as crazy as Cheng Yuanzhi, coercing the people of the prefectures and counties to form a million-man army. At that time, even if he cooperates with Wang Lang, he can't do it without external aid.
At this time, Zhou Cang still has a bottom line and is the easiest to deal with.
"My dear heroes, I understand you. If you surrender, I will treat you well!" Lin Mu shouted loudly. This sentence is for all the Yellow Turbans to hear.
However, the Yellow Turbans under the city wall were still in an uproar.
They were eating hot meals and enjoying delicious food, thinking it was the happiest moment, but they fell into the underworld!
Many hot-blooded yellow turban men shouted to break through, take back weapons and armor, and fight with officers and soldiers for three hundred rounds.
However, is it really that easy?
"Don't resist anymore! We originally planned to shoot ten waves of arrows first, wipe you all out, and take your heads to the emperor to get rewards. Compared with you, you are traitors and rebels against the emperor. He will not treat us warriors unfairly." Cui Wu changed three to ten, giving them the greatest pressure.
"However, our General Lin is unparalleled in benevolence and knows that many of you are farmers and persecuted by those evil gentry. Not only was the land in your family robbed, but even the food was confiscated under various names. You were hungry and hopeless, so you believed the evil words and rose up." Cui Wu said in contrast.
"You are the suffering people, General Lin will not slaughter you! Therefore, our archers have not shot arrows, hoping that you can understand our General Lin's painstaking efforts." Cui Wu continued.
Cui Wu's words, for some reason, were more effective than Lin Mu's words, and the agitated Yellow Turban Army gradually calmed down after hearing his words.
In fact, he was right, he could have shot arrows, as he said, after ten waves of arrow rain, how many people would survive? Maybe all of them were gone!
Only those generals with Yuanli shields could survive. But how long can they hold on? !
Even Zhou Cang knew Lin Mu's intention at this moment. He really wanted these Yellow Turban Army to surrender, and did not want to slaughter them and use their heads to receive rewards and military merits.
However, was he willing?
Not willing!!
He thought that he had defeated a government army and was ready to attack Jiujiang County with a great victory, and then swept the entire Yangzhou, bringing Yangzhou under the command of Taiping Dao, and creating brilliant achievements. However, the next moment, his city, which he had deployed many times, was captured by Lin Mu, who also designed a trap to catch the turtle in the jar, and even he was standing under the dangerous wall!
Everything became empty talk! Everything disappeared!
At this moment, no one could understand the bitterness in his heart.
Zhou Cang looked around and found that there were no signs of fighting around. I wonder how Lin Mu captured the southern city wall so easily?
However, at this moment, no one could answer the question, and there was no way to know the situation of the northern city wall. If it was the same over there, if they resisted, then these 80,000 comrades might die here.
These were all his most loyal soldiers. They had been through so many lives and deaths, and had come all the way from Lujiang County. They were rare elite soldiers, and he really didn't want them to be buried here.
"Damn it, if I were more cautious, maybe I could completely kill Lin Mu's troops. In this way, what officers and soldiers in Yangzhou could resist us?!" Zhou Cang was really regretful at this moment.
"Everyone, our patience is not that long-lasting. General Lin has shown mercy to you by showing leniency. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame us for being unreasonable." Cui Wu continued to act as a lobbyist.
To be honest, Cui Wu is indeed talented at this. His words are more effective than Lin Mu's. Of course, this was all arranged by Lin Mu in advance, and the side-talk of others is more convincing than what he said himself.
What to do? !
Zhou Cang was in a dilemma at this moment.
"Zhou Cang, Daqushuai, why don't you go up to the city wall first and discuss with General Lin about your treatment after surrender? Do you have the courage to come up alone?!" Huang Xu beside him shouted.
Cui Wu and Lin Mu have completed their roles, and now it is Huang Xu's turn. One by one, he helped Zhou Cang make decisions directly.
"Daqushuai, don't go, they want to ambush you! Don't go..." Hearing that Zhou Cang was asked to go up to the city wall alone, the guards stopped him.
"Why, for the sake of 80,000 comrades, you don't have the courage to do this?" Huang Xu continued to provoke.
"Alas..." Zhou Cang sighed helplessly and climbed the city wall alone.
At this moment, he dared not go up?
However, if he went up the city wall, he might have a chance to capture the leader first!
Soon, Zhou Cang came to the attic.
And Lin Mu didn't say anything to Zhou Cang, and directly asked a soldier to hand him a letter.
That letter was from Zhang Huozhu!
On the surface, Zhou Cang and Zhang Huozhu got along well.
"It turns out that the military advisor has already prepared a way out for us!" After quickly reading the letter, Zhou Cang looked disappointed.
"It's not like I've arranged a way out for you long ago, it's just in case." Lin Mu said at this time.
Zhou Cang and Zhang Huozhu get along well on the surface, but in fact, he didn't recruit Zhou Cang at all, which is completely different from Gong Du and other undercovers.
"Even if your government defeats us, it won't have any impact on the overall situation. As long as we can break through Luoyang, the world will fall into the hands of our people!" Zhou Cang still struggled.
"If that's the case, it might be good!" Lin Mu suddenly smiled strangely.
The Yellow Turban Army broke through Luoyang and killed Liu Hong, which is really good news for the Great Wilderness Territory. Because at that time, it would be equivalent to Liu Hong's death in 189.
The world will inevitably be in chaos!
The princes' struggle for hegemony can be advanced!
Of course, this is impossible! Those aristocratic families can't see such a thing happen.
"Zhou Cang, surrender with your people, I will save them from prison." Lin Mu said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
This sentence, Lin Mu emphasized the tone, indicating that this was his last persuasion to surrender. If Zhou Cang still hesitates, Lin Mu is ready to do it!
"I... surrender!" Zhou Cang said like a deflated ball, his face full of melancholy.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. The lord is really powerful. He recovered Zhou Cang a month earlier than originally planned!
"However, you can't use us to encircle and suppress the Taiping Dao, otherwise we will never obey." Zhou Cang sighed and tried.
"Okay! I will let you return to my territory to recuperate. If you are willing to farm, you can go to farm." Lin Mu promised.
Zhou Cang nodded.
Lin Mu winked, and Cui Wu immediately took out a special rope from the marching bag to tie Zhou Cang up.
"You go and persuade them to surrender!" Lin Mu said calmly.
"Okay!" Zhou Cang nodded.
Zhou Cang surrendered, and those Yellow Turbans also surrendered under the cold arrows.
With Zhou Cang's surrender, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yangzhou basically came to an end!
"Lord, what should we do about the north of the city?" Huang Xu asked in a low voice.
"Zhou Cang has surrendered, so they should be fine." Lin Mu smiled.
In fact, the Yellow Turban Army in the north of the city is not very united. Huang Xu has seen some Yellow Turban Army willing to surrender. If Zhou Cang surrenders, it may be easy to recruit them.
"However, let's contact secretly to see if Gao Sheng and Yan Zheng can act as the sword of our Great Wilderness Territory and cut the meat of those Yangzhou nobles?" Lin Mu whispered.
"Understood!" Huang Xu smiled.
In the name of the Yellow Turban Army, attack the Yangzhou nobles, scrape some meat from them, and fatten the Great Wilderness Territory! Unlike Qingzhou and Youzhou, Yangzhou's eyes are on the nobles.
He will not touch the people of Yangzhou, unlike Youzhou and Qingzhou, who coerce ordinary people to enrich the people of the Great Wilderness Territory.
…
…
“Boom boom!”
“Kill!! Brothers, charge and avenge our Great Commander Zhou Cang!”
“Kill! Kill Lin Mu for me. He made our Great Commander Zhou Cang dying. Revenge! Revenge!”
A series of roars echoed over Fuling City.
“What’s going on?! Great Commander Zhou Cang is going to die?!” Under the morning light, a large wave of Yellow Turban player troops rushed back from the south.
They kept collecting spoils in the battlefields of the encirclement and suppression of Ding Feng and the battlefields where Lin Mu ambushed. They did not return to the city with Zhou Cang, so they did not know what happened.
Hearing such shouts, many players were confused.
Especially some players in the Han camp hidden in the mountains and forests were also in a state of astonishment.
Lin Mu killed Zhou Cang? And he was seriously injured and dying?
Lin Mu is so fierce? !
Unfortunately, because the players in the city have left the city, they don’t know what happened at all.
"Boom!!!" At this time, the tightly closed city gate suddenly opened, and soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads poured out of the city.
Seeing this situation, the players knew what happened.
The so-called revenge for the great canal commander Zhou Cang was nothing more than an excuse. The Yellow Turban Army wanted to escape!
As expected by the players, countless Yellow Turban Army poured out of the city, and behind them, Lin Mu led the soldiers one by one, took out the long spear, and kept chasing.
However, if you look closely, you will find that Lin Mu did not kill these Yellow Turban Army at all, but only slightly injured them.
However, the formation was done well, with flying sand and rocks at the city gate, and smoke and dust all over the sky, as if the battle was very fierce.
The confused players were all watching the show.
The Yellow Turban Army rushed out of the city wall and left in a cloud of dust. The so-called revenge was really just an excuse.
Looking at the Yellow Turban Army in the distance, Lin Mu waved his hand and returned to the city.
"Let's go, let's meet Yuan Shu!"
