The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Just as Liu Feng worried, Zhou Cheng led an army and was approaching Gaoling City.

On Gaoling City, Liu Feng wore a set of sleeve armor and looked at the Zhou army's flag with a solemn expression.

It can only be described as mountains and plains.

The dust raised by the cavalry covered the sky and blocked the sun.

Zhou Cheng was riding on Mo Kuang, looking at ease.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Li Ru and others looked relaxed.

Within Yongzhou, only Gaoling City remained unconquered.

However, when the army arrived at Gaoling City, it was believed that it would be a long time before Gaoling City was captured.

Among the team, there was a prison car that was particularly conspicuous.

The person in the prison car was Gao Shun.

At this time, Gao Shun had lost a lot of weight and his body was dirty and messy.

Gao Shun was unwilling to surrender and even cursed Zhou Cheng, hoping that Zhou Cheng would kill him to fulfill his loyalty.

However, Zhou Cheng ignored Gao Shun at all.

Three meals are served daily.

However, Gao Shun didn't eat either.

Only when he fainted, Zhou Cheng sent someone to feed Gao Shun, and Gao Shun instinctively ate some, and then he survived again.

But Gao Shun still refused to eat and divert water.

He seeks death.

Zhang Liao persuaded him many times. If Zhang Liao hadn't sent someone to grab Gao Shun's hand and force-feed Gao Shun, Gao Shun might have starved to death.

Once a subordinate of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao couldn't bear to see Gao Shun being tortured, and suggested to Zhou Cheng that he simply kill Gao Shun.

However, Zhou Cheng is particularly looking forward to Gao Shun.

Zhou Cheng has special expectations for the trapped camp and wants Gao Shun to train a 'trapped camp' for him.

Therefore, he has a lot of time to spend with Gao Shun.

Anyway, as long as Gao Shun doesn't die, everything is possible

……

The army arrived outside Gaoling City.

Zhou Cheng ordered the camp to be set up, and at the same time, he sent Dian Wei to persuade them to surrender.

In accordance with Zhou Cheng's order, Dian Wei went to Gaoling City and shouted towards the city:"This is Dian Wei, the general of Da Sima's tent. Please open the city as soon as possible and surrender. Otherwise, after the city is broken, the entire clan of those who resist will be punished.""

Zhou Cheng killed the important households in Chang'an City.

Liu Feng and the wealthy families in the city also knew about it.

At this time, Liu Feng felt very uneasy. He couldn't help it, but it was not in line with his status to surrender thieves to the city.

When Liu Feng hesitated, Dian Wei rode his horse and shouted towards the city tower:"Listen, people in the city, if you don't surrender, you will be dead after the army breaks the city. After saying that

, Dian Wei rode back to Inside the formation.

The defenders on the tower, you look at me, I look at you

"Zhou Jun has so many people, how can we be opponents?"

"Moreover, the Zhou army was good at fighting, and one was equal to ten."

"I heard that more than 100,000 people were killed in Chang'an"

"I heard over two hundred thousand."

The defenders were all afraid of being massacred after breaking through the city.

At this time, Liu Feng's forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist and remained silent for a long time.

"Ming Gong, surrender"

"Ming Gong, I can't keep it."

At this time, the generals behind Liu Feng were also urging Liu Feng to surrender.

There is only one lonely Gaoling City left in Yongzhou.

If you don't surrender, it will only be destroyed.

"Why! Liu Feng sighed, then gave up and said:"Kaicheng surrenders.""

……

In March 199 AD, Gaoling City surrendered.

Zhou Cheng's troops captured Gaoling City without any bloodshed.

The Battle of Yongzhou was declared over.

However, the wealthy families in Yongzhou did not obey Zhou Cheng, especially the remnants of the clans that were massacred in Chang'an. They recruited troops from all over Yongzhou and harassed villages and counties in an attempt to cause trouble for Zhou Cheng.

It's just that Zhou Cheng didn't take the clan thief's matter seriously.

In his opinion, the clan thief was just a minor illness and could not shake his occupation of Yongzhou.

Later, Zhou Cheng accepted the recommendation of joining the wealthy families, including Zhang Ji.

Gaoling City, the Prefect's Mansion.

Zhang Ji is no stranger to this place.

However, the prefect's mansion has now changed its owner.

Zhang entered the prefect's mansion, and after being identified by a soldier outside the mansion, he entered the prefect's mansion.

At this time, Zhou Cheng, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Li Ru and others were already seated, waiting for Zhang Ji like interviewers.

Appointing local people will help stabilize the local situation.

Zhou Cheng occupied Gaoling City and hoped to select suitable talents as soon as possible.

Because only when Yongzhou is stable, we can use Yongzhou as a springboard to move west to Liangzhou and south to Yizhou.

When Zhang Ji walked in, Zhou Cheng asked Zhang Ji:"What do you mean by a general?"

Zhang Ji replied:"The husband is a civil and military man, and he is the general of the army. Combining hardness with softness is the matter of military affairs. When ordinary people talk about generals, Always look at bravery, and the courage of generals is only a fraction of it. A brave man must be careful with his actions. If he is careful with his actions without knowing the benefits, it is not acceptable. Therefore, the first thing to be careful about in generals is rationality, the second is preparation, and the third is preparation."Guo, the fourth is precepts, and the fifth is covenant."

A simple translation means that only those who are both civil and military can be competent generals of the army, and only those who have a balance of strength and softness can lead the army to fight. Most people only focus on bravery when commenting on the impending period, and bravery is only one of the conditions. A general who relies solely on his bravery will inevitably fight the enemy recklessly. If he is reckless, he will not think carefully. This is not advisable, so generals need to be cautious.

Zhou Cheng asked again:"What is reason, what is preparation, what is result, what is precept, what is covenant?"

Zhang Ji calmly replied:"A person who is reasonable will govern the people and you will rule the few. A person who is prepared will go out as if he saw an enemy.". If you are facing the enemy, you will not give up your life. If you are warned, even if you are defeated, you will start fighting. If you make a promise, the decree will be simple but extraordinary, and you will not refuse when you are ordered. If the enemy is defeated, you will return, and you will be treated as a courtesy."

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Cheng laughed loudly, then looked at Zhang Ji and said,"Sir, you are a great talent. I have benefited a lot today. Please give me a seat."
