Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2385 Zhu Biao died for his country, and the war in the south ended

Let’s put it this way, given the current defense situation of Nanjing City, there is no need for Bai Qi to go all out.

Even if he only used half of his troops, he could easily capture the city of Nanjing, where only the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the wounded and new soldiers were left.

And with the remaining half of the power in his hands, even if Zhu Biao had any conspiracy or tricks, what could he do to him?

After all, even if Yangzhou still had a few elite troops at this time, how many could they be? A few thousand or ten thousand?
Moreover, even if these people are elite, they are also elite troops who have suffered several defeats in a row. Even if their combat effectiveness is stronger than those soldiers and horses currently in Nanjing City, it is not that strong.

However, in line with the principle of attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart, Bai Qi did not use violence to attack the city, but adopted a strategy of attacking the heart.

As for Nanjing, which was left as an isolated city, it goes without saying what the people's hearts were like at that time!

It was not a complicated strategy to capture Zhu Biao's heart, but it caused him to lose control of the city of Nanjing.

Nanjing City was Zhu Yuanzhang's base, and his control over it was absolutely solid.

However, Zhu Biao is not Zhu Yuanzhang after all.

Given the same situation, Zhu Yuanzhang might be able to suppress it to a certain extent, but that doesn't mean Zhu Biao could do the same.

Therefore, even though Bai Qi had not officially attacked the city, he had already won the battle.

A simple tactic of attacking the enemy's heart allowed the gate of Yangzhou City to be opened directly from the inside.

In the final analysis, what will the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Yangzhou City have to resist at this time? Even in Nanjing City now, there is not even a decent general.

When Bai Qi's troops arrived at the city, the old, weak and sick were on the verge of collapse.

It is nothing more than a simple strategy to attack people's hearts, but it directly produces such an effective effect.

Not only did these people open the city gates, but some of them were so crazy that they even wanted to attack Zhu Biao.

Fortunately, Quan Cong led the last group of soldiers who were still willing to be loyal to them in time to protect Zhu Biao and brought him back to the King of Wu's palace.

However, at this time, Zhu Biao had already lost all hope. When Zhu Yuanzhang died, his world seemed to be collapsing.

His younger brother, who was the best fighter, died on the battlefield, and his father also died on the battlefield, leaving him alone.

Therefore, when Wu Zixu and Jing Xiang wanted to leave, Zhu Biao did not leave.

Instead, he placed all his hopes for the future on Zhu Di's son, Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji, whose implanted identity was the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, realized the doubling plan!
However, although he was Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, he was not the son of Zhu Biao, the eldest son, but the son of Zhu Di, and became Zhu Biao's nephew.

When Zhu Zhanji was born, Zhu Biao was not married yet, so it was naturally impossible for him to have a son.

Logically speaking, if Zhu Biao, the eldest brother, had not married, it would be impossible for Zhu Di, the fourth brother, to get married. He would have to wait until his older brothers got married before it could be his turn.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang placed all his hopes on Zhu Biao at the beginning, which led to Zhu Biao being very busy all day long and helping Zhu Yuanzhang deal with various affairs in advance. Therefore, naturally, he had no time to fall in love.

However, for people of their status, if they get married, most of the time it is arranged by their parents to find someone of equal status for a political marriage.

In contrast, Zhu Di did not receive as much attention from Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning, and even had a bit of a wild growth attitude. Compared with Zhu Biao, he had plenty of time to make his own way outside.

However, this actually allowed him to bring home a wife before his brother Zhu Biao.

But even so, according to the rules, if Zhu Biao was not married, it would basically not be his turn.

However, Zhu Di was still young and energetic at that time, and he was full of passion and enthusiasm. He accidentally hit the target. Now, the matter was done and even borne fruit, so Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to take a step back.

As a result, Zhu Zhanji, as the son of the fourth son Zhu Di, became the oldest among Zhu Yuanzhang's grandchildren.

In a state of despair and determination to die, Zhu Biao entrusted his nephew Zhu Zhanji to Jing Xiang and Wu Zixu, while he himself prepared to make a final resistance in Nanjing City against the Jin army.

Just like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, even if it meant death, he would do his best to strike the Jin army.

And he also believed that his nephew Zhu Zhanji would not disappoint their expectations. Among the younger generation, Zhu Zhanji was indeed the most talented in both civil and military affairs.

However, with the determination and intention to die, he left all his last strength in the city of Nanjing.

However, I never expected this to be the ending!

How could this be the ending?

At this moment, he even felt ridiculous.

He risked his life to fight the last battle, but in the end he was the only one who was on top. The enemy had just attacked him, and with just a few words of deception, all the soldiers under his command rebelled!
In fact, these soldiers are all old, weak and sick. How could they have the will to resist?
The success of Bai Qi's psychological warfare strategy was naturally closely related to the enemy's low will to resist.

Another reason is that Guo Ziyi massacred ten cities in a row on the Jianghuai battlefield.

The Jianghuai region and Nanjing are separated by the Yangtze River. In ancient times, under this background, even if the message transmission was slow and the message was difficult to circulate between regions, after all, there was only the Yangtze River between them. How could the message not reach this side?

Throughout the Jianghuai region, the rivers and streams dried up as a result of the killings by Guo Ziyi. When these events spread here, they also shocked countless people!

The rivers in the Jianghuai region were dried up due to the killings. How could these civilians or ordinary soldiers not be worried?
They were just ordinary civilians or ordinary soldiers. They could not see that the purpose of Guo Ziyi's killing was mainly to deter others rather than to kill.

They only knew that even the Jianghuai region had been killed to such an extent, and this was Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted area. What kind of disaster would they encounter then?

Therefore, the shadow of the massacre has always hung over them.

After Bai Qi used his strategy to win over the hearts and minds of the people, the ordinary civilians took the initiative to persuade their nephews and relatives in the army to open the city gates and let Bai Qi in.

Due to various reasons, the current situation is inevitable.
