The battle lasted until noon, when the sun was shining brightly. They also chose to call off the battle. Both sides had retreated and did not continue the attack.
The battlefield also looked very bleak, with corpses everywhere and smoke everywhere.
Some people's blood had soaked through their armor.
The bloody appearance was really scary, but it was also filled with a strong murderous aura!
The losses in this battle were not particularly great, which was acceptable to both armies, but the fighting was sparse, and neither side could display its true strength, whether on their side or the Miao side.
Lu Yun looked at the battle situation and sighed deeply. After resting, he called all the soldiers to the central military tent.
"Everyone, today's battle is over. Let's talk about your feelings. Is there anything you want to say?"
Wu Huang stepped forward and explained, "General, through this battle, we found that the enemy's strength is not very strong. After all, we didn't exert our full strength. But when we think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense."
"It seems that those charging over there are all wearing Shu armor. They should all be Shu people. The real Miao army did not appear on the battlefield at all."
"It seems that only the vanguard commander is from the Miao Kingdom. This is a bit strange. I just asked General Zhang, and he said he didn't see the King of Nan'an."
Lu Yun pondered for a moment after hearing this, his brows furrowed. "It seems the other party is also testing the waters."
"And their purpose in this battle is actually to use the troops from Shu. The soldiers they surrendered will weaken our strength, while the main force of the Miao army will not suffer any losses."
"The enemy generals aim to deplete our forces and then annihilate us in one fell swoop."
Shangguan Yan stepped forward and explained, "Eunuch Lu, I've gathered some intelligence and heard that the Miao army is commanded by their high priest, also their great general Luo Feng."
"This man has a very high prestige and is extremely brave on the battlefield!"
"And they also hold a relatively high status in the Miao Kingdom. In the Miao Kingdom, the high priest is highly respected even by the emperor."
Lu Yun suddenly realized that the Miao Kingdom actually had such a so-called high priest.
He had never heard of this high priest, but he knew he was very powerful when he heard the name of this high priest.
"General Shangguan is right. We didn't see the rebellious King Nan'an on the battlefield today."
"It seems that King Nan'an is not taken seriously in the Miao Kingdom. In the eyes of the High Priest, he is just a pawn. What he wants to do is to weaken the military strength under King Nan'an."
"Everyone should know that creating public enemies on the battlefield is the most foolish way. What we need to do is to win over the hearts and minds of the people!"
What Lu Yun proposed was something that had never been heard of by these old men who only knew how to fight reckless battles.
They only think about the battlefield, and that depends on who is stronger and who is weaker. Whoever is stronger can defeat the other, and whoever is weaker can be beaten directly until he cannot take care of himself!
"Eunuch Lu, what do you mean by this, how should we fight next? Us roughnecks certainly don't understand what it means to attack the heart first."
Lu Yun calmly returned to his seat and explained, "Didn't you all just say that? Those charging in the front are all soldiers from Shu."
"There are hardly any Miao soldiers charging in the front, only their generals, so they will definitely be dissatisfied!"
"People are all made of flesh and blood. The Miao Kingdom has no mercy at all. Speaking of these Shu Kingdom generals and soldiers who surrendered, why should they work so hard?"
"On the battlefield tomorrow, General Zhang, you are a general of Shu. You will feel a sense of familiarity to the soldiers of Shu."
"Then the Shu soldiers under your command should have a good relationship with them, and they should know many Shu soldiers in the enemy camp."
"Tomorrow, you will lead the charge and do your best to persuade them to surrender on the battlefield! Make them submit and stop fighting."
"Ah?" General Zhang was stunned. How could he do this?
But does this trick really work?
"Eunuch Lu, I know what you mean. It's not that easy. You have to know that the generals commanding the battle on the battlefield are all from the Miao Kingdom.
Besides, if anyone dares to start a rebellion, I'm afraid their military supervisors won't be pushovers either."
Lu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Of course I have to comfort her patiently."
"We need to offer them conditions and slowly break down their psychology."
"What's more, the military supervisors and executioners only care about the front and not the back. They are all on the battlefield. Who will care about those who retreat on the battlefield and in the front?"
"Too."
Lu Yun then explained, "Well, after you go down, give your Shu soldiers a good training and make them speak these words."
"First, blood is thicker than water. We are all brothers and sisters, and we are all Shu and wolves. Why kill each other? We should defend Shu together!"
"Secondly, why would someone who isn't from Shu Kingdom risk their life for Miao Kingdom? It's like looking down on their elders in the same way!"
"Third, why risk your life for the Miao Kingdom, causing the suffering of the people of Shu Kingdom and the separation of families? They let you lead the charge just to kill you, not for your own good."
“…”
Lu Yun said some brainwashing words. Of course, these were all facts. These were all the stupid things done by the Miao country. Any normal person could see what was going on.
"Alright then, since Eunuch Lu said that attacking the heart is the best way, let's try it tomorrow!"
"As long as you are a Shu country man, what if you are willing to surrender?"
"If they are willing to surrender, then they should surrender to General Zhang. The stronger and more powerful the soldiers under General Zhang are, the greater the hope of reclaiming your Kingdom of Shu, right?"
“If you want to join us on the battlefield, just come to our camp. As long as there is one person, there will be a second person.
We can accept it all, and of course, if anyone dares to attack your soldiers, we can kill them unconditionally."
"yes!"
General Zhang was the happiest when he heard this. The army under his command was already small, but now he had such conditions. Isn't it great!
I can finally feel at ease!
Moreover, the brothers he had counted would not die tragically on the battlefield. Both sides were killing each other. They were all family members. Why do this?
Now I just hope that what Eunuch Lu just said can come true!
But to be honest, it’s quite difficult!
We can only hope that the soldiers of Shu Kingdom have not been completely brainwashed by the people of Miao Kingdom and still remember their Shu Kingdom.
