"Look!"
Before Liu Biao finished speaking, a soldier on the city wall pointed outside the city and shouted.
Everyone's attention was attracted.
Liu Biao also turned around to look.
As soon as he saw it, he wanted to curse.
Liu Bei stood in the wilderness, with soldiers arranged to eat a lot beside him.
"Look at these people!"
Liu Bei shouted at the city wall.
"They used to be poor people in the four southern counties of Jingzhou who couldn't eat."
"But now they can eat a full meal by following me, Liu."
"Facts speak louder than words."
"You can see it with your own eyes!"
The Xiangyang soldiers on the city wall stared at them.
The soldiers outside the city ate a lot, and they swallowed their saliva in unison.
"It's all a lie!" Liu Biao shouted immediately: "He Liu Bei can only feed those hundreds or thousands of people, but there are still 100,000 people in the camp, how can it be possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei ordered other soldiers to eat.
Smoke from cooking rose from all the military camps outside Xiangyang.
Soon, soldiers gathered outside the southern city wall who were eating voraciously.
Looking from the city wall, the action of eating voraciously was continuous in the wilderness.
It shook every Xiangyang soldier on the city wall.
Gurgle...
The sound of the stomach mixed with the sound of Xiangyang soldiers swallowing saliva continued on the city wall.
Liu Biao hurriedly called Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, "Immediately tell the officials in the city to prepare rations for all the soldiers."
"Today, all the soldiers guarding the city must have a full meal."
"If any official dares to deduct privately, he will be executed immediately!"
The extremely severe order was issued, and Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang acted quickly.
Under the city, Liu Bei personally inspected everywhere.
He continued to shout to the wall: "Don't worry! Soldiers of Xiangyang!"
"You will definitely have an unprecedented full meal tonight."
"But you have to think clearly."
"This is not because the governor is good to you."
"It is forced by the situation."
"I am afraid that you will be attracted by the generous treatment of our army and lose the will to fight and want to surrender."
"The rations you are about to eat tonight are because we have been here!"
The loud voice spread, causing the soldiers of Xiangyang on the wall to whisper.
Liu Biao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Facing Liu Bei, who was misleading people with his lies, he had no way to deal with it.
After all, no matter what he said, it was just words.
But Liu Bei acted first and persuaded later.
People tend to believe what they hear with their ears.
Otherwise, there would be no such phrase as seeing is believing.
Without other methods, Liu Biao could only bite the bullet and deal with it.
Fortunately, there was still a lot of grain in the official warehouse of Xiangyang.
Even if the soldiers were fed, they could still cope for quite some time.
In times of crisis, these were no longer important.
The most urgent task was to keep Xiangyang City from being breached by the Yuzhou Army.
Soon, the soldiers in the city also started eating.
Although the amount of rations this time was much more than usual.
But the soldiers in Xiangyang City were not happy.
Liu Bei's words were like a fire that ignited the dry wood in the hearts of the soldiers.
It swept through all the soldiers, filling their hearts with raging fire.
Even though they had never read books and came from the poor class, the soldiers understood the meaning of Liu Bei's words.
If the Yuzhou Army was defeated, the abundant rations in front of them would become a bubble.
The governor fed them enough food just to prevent them from rioting.
It was just a last-minute effort.
But Liu Bei was different.
He usually fed the soldiers so much.
Otherwise, how could the people of Jingzhou work so hard for Liu Bei, who had just arrived?
Dissatisfaction was rampant in the hearts of the soldiers in Xiangyang.
Some of them thought deeply.
If they followed Liu Bei, they would overthrow all the dignitaries in the city.
According to what the other party said, what would their future life be like after they were allocated food and land?
At least they should be small farmers with land to grow and food to eat, right?
It was not like before when they didn't even have their own land, let alone food to eat.
The gap was too big.
Many people began to have rebellious thoughts in their hearts.
But they didn't dare to show it.
They didn't know what others thought, and they didn't dare to reveal their thoughts to others.
The soldiers in Xiangyang had already formed a huge split in secret.
Liu Biao, who returned to his mansion, was depressed and had no appetite.
He rarely went to bed early, so he wanted to have a good rest.
But he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
After a hard night, Liu Biao got up at dawn to gather officials.
But he heard that five senior officials took their families and property and left in unknown ways just last night.
Silently, neatly and resolutely.
"Damn it!" He cursed fiercely, but Liu Biao was powerless.
Liu BeiThe strategy of "encircling three sides and missing one" gradually began to work.
Liu Biao couldn't imagine what it would be like when the other side really started to attack the city.
"Come on!" Liu Biao roared.
"Send people to the West Gate, and all the soldiers who were responsible for the night watch last night will be beheaded in the market!"
"In addition, the whole city is under martial law."
"Everyone, no matter who they are, stay at home and are not allowed to go out."
"Once discovered, behead them immediately!"
Liu Biao gave the order, and many heads fell to the ground at the West Gate.
Without interrogation, it can be imagined that the officials who fled the city last night must have bribed the gatekeepers.
These people must die!
Liu Biao was full of resentment, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Send people to the West Gate and use heavy stones to build a wall to block it."
"Throughly block the West Gate!"
Under his order, the Xiangyang government recruited craftsmen and took action immediately to block the West Gate.
The news spread in Xiangyang City, but it did not have any stabilizing effect.
Instead, it made all classes in the city more uneasy.
Some dignitaries who had illusions about Liu Biao began to gather secretly to discuss how to escape from here.
Liu Bei's clever methods were beyond their expectations.
They were no longer optimistic about Liu Biao in this battle.
They began to study the way out.
After some secret discussions, many dignitaries in the city believed that their only way out was Yizhou.
What Liu Bei did in Yuzhou and Jingzhou was to uproot their big families.
If they stayed, they would definitely die.
Then Liu Bei was like a mad dog, and he did things without any regard for the tacit understanding of the nobles.
The dignitaries in Xiangyang City reached a secret agreement and prepared to gather their forces to escape together.
They returned to their mansions and collected valuables such as gold and silver.
They were ready to find a suitable time to launch a joint attack, cooperate to open the west gate, and escape to Yizhou.
There was an undercurrent in Xiangyang.
Ordinary people were like the ups and downs in the sea, and could not have any influence on the current situation.
They could only go with the flow.
The news that Liu Bei treated the people well spread in the city.
The people of Xiangyang could only hide at home and pray, hoping that what he said was true.
They hoped that Liu Bei's arrival would allow them to live a good life.
Instead of being half dead like now.
Liu Biao climbed the city wall and personally led the soldiers of Jingzhou to wait for the attack of the Yuzhou army.
However, he waited for a day in armor and sword, but did not wait for the opponent's attack.
This made his accumulated strength seem like a punch in tofu.
The feeling of having strength but not being able to use it was extremely uncomfortable!
