Chapter 1113 Disturbing Xiangyang

Cao Cao's dispatch of troops this time was completely within Zhang Yu's plan.

There are various secret battles in Xiangyang City, but Cai Mao is completely unaware of them.

Beneath the calm surface, I don't know how many people have other thoughts.

In the past few days, many people have poured in from other places. These people have fled from other counties.

However, not many ordinary people escaped, more people from various families.

They fled back, but they couldn't bring back a large amount of assets.

Zhang Yu's army was around, and they were not allowed to carry too much property.

At this time, the city is full of pessimistic people.

Many aristocratic families did not know how many times they migrated here, but they were still chased by Zhang Yu.

Liu Liang, a county magistrate from another county, ran to Xiangyang City after Zhang Yu's army came over.

After coming in, he went to the palace to report and wept bitterly.

However, when Cai Mao knew about it, he didn't blame him, but comforted him and let him live in Xiangyang City.

It's very simple, how many counties, so many officials, how many people surrendered.

This Liu Liang hadn't surrendered yet. Although he ran back, he was much better than those who directly surrendered in Kaicheng.

Liu Liang lived in the city for two days, staying in the inn all the time, not going anywhere.

Two days later, someone secretly came to him, and he began to move around the city.

"Hey, everyone doesn't know, this Zhang Yu's army is really hard to resist, let's say Jiangling County, plus the navy, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, all disappeared in one night."

In the private room of the restaurant, Liu Liang attended a party. All the people from the city's aristocratic families and some officials came.

More than a dozen people in the private room asked Liu Liang about Zhang Yu's army.

Liu Liang looked around, seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, and then he said, "Do you know how the city of Changsha was captured?"

Several people peeped at each other,

They really don't know.

The news from Changsha City has only been delivered recently, but they are unable to judge the various versions.

"Liu Xiancheng, tell us quickly, we don't know if Xiangyang can hold it."

What everyone is most concerned about is whether Xiangyang can hold on.

Liu Liang took a sip of his wine and said, "It was not that easy for me to escape. At that time, Zhang Yu's army had already killed them and sealed off the city. I was not caught by wearing the clothes of ordinary people."

"At that time, they searched all over the city, but they didn't do anything wrong to the common people. I pretended to be a boy in a teahouse. After the raid that day, some officers might be thirsty, so they drank tea in the teahouse."

"I heard from them that this city of Changsha did not go through a few battles. They stormed three times before and after. On the first day of the storm, they captured the city, and then Zhang Yu's army retreated on its own initiative."

"After a few days, they stormed again, reached the top of the city, and then stopped attacking again."

"The same goes for the third time."

"Think about it, Zhang Yu's army can easily break through Changsha, but they all retreat immediately after attacking. The morale of the defenders in the city has plummeted, and the army has no fighting spirit. Zhang Yu used this method to force Sun Ce's hundreds of thousands of troops surrendered, but Zhang Yu himself did not lose any soldiers, so he was able to attack several counties in Jingzhou as soon as he took Changsha City."

Liu Liang's explanation made everyone believe it to a certain extent.

This rumor also exists in the city, but the people don't know how to distinguish it.

Too many messages, too many versions, it's hard to distinguish.

Liu Liang said that Changsha City was strong, but Zhang Yu was able to break through the city easily, but he did not attack by force, but used this method to force Changsha City to surrender.

The patriarch of an aristocratic family burst into tears.

"Woo woo woo~"

"My Li family fled all the way from Xuzhou to Yanzhou. Not long after I settled down in Yanzhou, I ran to Jingzhou again. Now Zhang Yu has killed me again."

"I know Changsha City. I went there once when I was doing business. The city is strong, even stronger than Xiangyang City. In addition, Sun Ce has several generals under his command. What should we do with Xiangyang?"

The Patriarch of the Li family burst into tears, and his emotions infected others.

Many local families in Jingzhou also suffered heavy losses, because several other counties fell into Zhang Yu's hands.

Zhang Yu did not confiscate 70% of these properties, but confiscated them all.

These people are very scared. When Zhang Yu breaks Xiangyang, they are going to be finished.

Everyone cried and complained, although it was a banquet, few people enjoyed it well.

After a while, Liu Liang said again: "It is said outside that Zhang Yu is benevolent and righteous, Zhang Yu loves the people, and Qiu did nothing wrong, but that is against ordinary people. Although he does not kill people, most of my family property is gone."

"On the contrary, those aristocratic families and officials who surrendered can get Zhang Yu's kind treatment, but it is all fake, fake, and most of these people's family properties have also been confiscated by Zhang Yu. If they dare not obey, there will be no Good luck."

"Oh, but these people can't help it. Losing their property is better than losing their lives. I'm just a petty official, and I don't know how to do business. If I can do business like those businessmen in the east, it's fine. It's a pity. I don’t know anything, and if I lose my job, what will I do in the future.”

After speaking, Liu Liang also burst into tears.

After hearing this, everyone was filled with emotion, but no one spoke.

Some people wondered if they would also surrender?

Some people think that they have some connections in the east. They are all successful businessmen with a lot of wealth and a good life. In the past, I often laughed at them. They only have money, but they have no land and no power.

But now, these people are envious of them, at least they live a comfortable and happy life.

The banquet was very aggrieved, and this group of people was exchanging all kinds of news they got.

Liu Liang, who had just escaped from Zhang Yu's subordinates, brought back a lot of first-hand news, and he was sought after in Xiangyang City, and everyone rushed to entertain him.

There are still some people like Liu Liang, and they have different identities.

However, among the few influential people, one-third of them were sent by Zhang Yu.

Naturally, Liu Liang was also a spy arranged by Zhang Yu.

Liu Liang provided a lot of news to the city, and used many clever methods to spread it directly.

This greatly shook the hearts of the people in the city.

Zhang Yu knew that many aristocratic families were looking for a way out.

In today's world, there are very few options to choose from.

Very simple, they can continue to escape.

Flee to Cao Cao, or Liu Bei.

However, it is conceivable that they would abandon a large amount of family property every time they escaped, including some real estate and other things.

Under such circumstances, they cannot bear it.

In case Zhang Yu beats Luoyang Chang'an and Shuchuan down again, they might as well not escape.

Now, no one doubts that Zhang Yu has unified determination and ability.

Zhang Yu, an army of millions, came together, and the remaining three princes, not to mention Ma Teng, Cao Cao and Liu Bei combined were no match.
