Chapter 156: A two-pronged approach to alienation! (Subscribe)

"Finally I found him."

Yu Ping held the notes in her hands excitedly, her face filled with irrepressible excitement.

Learning from history, the answers to all questions can indeed be found in known history.

Looking at the piles of historical materials in front of him, he felt gratified that his hard study of history over the years had finally come in handy.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all and immediately picked up his phone to post his thoughts under the video.
At the same time, on the other side, Lin Zhongyun also opened the system interface to watch the video, and saw Yu Ping's comments.

"Thinking back to the time when Chu and Han were fighting, the Overlord of Western Chu dominated the world, and the young men who followed him to the Eastern Wu were even more courageous and made great contributions to Overlord Xiang Yu's conquest of the world."

"However, during the Chu-Han contention, Xiang Yu ultimately only gained the title of Overlord but not the world. There are two fundamental reasons for this. First, Xiang Yu himself was stubborn and self-righteous, and he loved to show off his achievements. He never shared his gains with others."

"The second is the strategy of sowing discord used by Liu Bang's counselor Chen Ping. He used thousands of gold coins to easily alienate many of Xiang Yu's generals."

"The current situation is no different from the Chu-Han contention in the past, so this method can be adopted."

Seeing Yu Ping's comments, Lin Zhongyun immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.

Although he didn't know about the Chu-Han contention.

But netizens know that right below Yu Ping’s comment, this matter of sowing discord has already been fully commented out.

Lin Zhongyun looked at it carefully and instantly understood what was going on.

Chen Ping's strategy of sowing discord is a classic, and it was precisely because of this strategy that he successfully became one of the top strategists in history.

At that time, Xiang Yu had several generals who fought side by side with him. These generals were all loyal to Xiang Yu and were willing to fight side by side for him.

However, Xiang Yu was a man who loved to show off his achievements and was extremely stingy when it came to rewarding his brothers.

Chen Ping saw the flaw and took Liu Bang's 1,000 taels of gold and secretly delivered them to the generals under Xiang Yu.

At the same time, he also sent people to spread rumors that these generals had accepted bribes from Liu Bang and were ready to defect at a critical moment.

These rumors spread quickly among Xiang Yu's army, and although the generals did not believe them at first, they began to doubt them as time went on.

Xiang Yu was a stubborn and self-willed person. After hearing these rumors, he did not clarify or appease them in a timely manner. Instead, he became more suspicious of his subordinates.

As a result, he began to adopt a cold attitude towards these generals and even deliberately weakened their power in some battles.

Once the gap is created, it is difficult to eliminate it.

Coupled with Xiang Yu's own personality, these generals who had been loyal to him began to waver, the morale of the army gradually disintegrated, and in the end some people even directly defected to Liu Bang.

This was also the last straw that broke the camel's back for Xiang Yu, the King of Chu.

But everyone knew this story, and he didn't understand who he should be plotting against now?
Could it be those generals who had long been his enemies? This was obviously impossible.

At this moment, Yu Ping quickly typed out the second half:
"Most of the soldiers stationed in various places to defend the city are new recruits. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are definitely not as good as the experienced rebels. On the spiritual level, the rebels have already gained the upper hand.

"More importantly, everyone should understand that in today's chaotic world, those who can come to the battlefield are either powerless or will never be able to make a name for themselves in their lifetime."

"The other type is poor people who are forced to join the army because of military service by the imperial court or because they are really desperate."

"These two types of people are from the lower classes and have long been resentful of the imperial court. If it weren't for their survival, they would not be willing to join the army."

“And these people are the main targets of the anchors’ alienation.”

As soon as this comment was posted, it immediately attracted tens of thousands of likes and thousands of comments below.

Lin Zhongyun nodded in agreement with this incisive analysis and fell into deep thought.

Yu Ping's words were like opening up a new world for him.

Just as he said, the more turbulent the times are, the ones who will rush to the front are the poor and the desperate.

For those aristocratic families, the wealth they have accumulated over hundreds of years is no longer worth it for their descendants to take risks on the battlefield.

Even if they have to go to the battlefield, they must at least have a military position, so that they will not let their descendants become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

In ancient times, there were many wealthy families who would raise some helpless children and wait for them to fill the military service quotas for their own descendants when they grew up.

The people who are defending the city now have no loyalty to Daqian at all. If they were not counting on that little bit of military pay, I'm afraid no one would come even if they were beaten to death.

At this time, he has something he can do.

Since these people are all after money and to survive, he only needs to take out a portion of his wealth and distribute it to the officers and soldiers who have surrendered before releasing them.

And it is not enough to do this, these people must also be forced to run back to their hometowns and use the money to attract more money.

Since these people have wealth and the capital to survive, who would be willing to work for the court? To die for the court?

Who would be willing to defend the court that they have long despised?
In addition to this, these officers and soldiers who accepted his wealth would arouse the suspicion of the court.

What will the court do with these people at that time? Should it use them or not?
If used, there is no guarantee that these people will turn against the court, and at that time everything will be irreversible for the court.

However, if they are not used, I will never feel at ease leaving these people there.

At that time, the imperial court was caught in a dilemma: it was not right to use it, and it was not right not to use it.

And more importantly, how many of these people who have gained wealth would be willing to work for the court?
At that time, their fighting spirit was insufficient and their fighting spirit declined accordingly. Even without his active attack, the officers and soldiers would collapse on their own.

This kind of centrifugal strategy is much more effective than the previous psychological warfare strategy!
"As expected of you, Fengchu!"

Looking at Yu Ping's comments, Lin Zhongyun couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps only Feng Chu could come up with such a plan, which really helped him a lot.

Now he has occupied Cangzhou, Yuzhou and Jialing County. Especially after conquering Yuzhou, the thing he has the most is money.

Not to mention that bronze-level treasure chests would occasionally burst with gold coins, which made him even richer.

Even though the rebel army is now so powerful, even if there is no more income in the future, the huge amount of wealth accumulated in the warehouse is enough to support the rebel army for a period of time.

You know, the value of money can only be reflected when it is circulated.

Since these riches are piled up in the warehouse and cannot be used in the short term, it is better to use them to win the hearts of the people and alienate the people of Daqian, so that they can play their due role.

In other words, this plan is entirely feasible.

What's more, the old must go before the new can come.

After he continued to capture cities, the wealth in these cities would be replenished, so he didn't have to worry about deficits at all.

Thinking of this, he also called Li Zhongwu and said, "Where are the officers and soldiers who surrendered in Jialing County some time ago? Bring them here."

Li Zhongwu immediately accepted the order.

Soon, the officers and soldiers of Jialing County who had surrendered previously were brought up one by one.

Lin Zhongyun glanced at these officers and soldiers who looked depressed, pale and thin, and nodded secretly in his heart.

As expected, as we had guessed before, those who can now appear on the front line of the battlefield are all desperate people.

These people are all miserable people. They just want to survive and not starve to death. Then, he cleared his throat and said loudly in front of everyone:

"I know that most of you don't want to be soldiers. If it's not for survival, no one wants to come here to die."

"All this is to blame on Daqian and those corrupt officials. They never care about human lives and never care about us who are in dire straits."

"Now we have had enough, and this is exactly why the rebels are rebelling."

He paused here and observed the reaction of the audience.

The officers and soldiers' faces became more and more ugly, their eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness, and their emotions became more and more agitated!

He knew that he had successfully ignited the anger in their hearts.

To these people, his skill of latent dragon energy could be said to be a miracle that could quickly gain their trust.

If there is a choice, who would be willing to choose a path that they know will lead to death?

So, he struck while the iron was hot and continued, "I know that even if I say this, some of you will not want to join the rebel army. But I will not force you here. I can give you something and send you back to live a life of farming."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present panicked.

They looked at each other, and all they saw in each other's eyes was flattery and uncertainty.

"King Wu, no, isn't it enough that we are willing to join the rebel army?" An officer knelt down first, saying in a trembling voice.

"Yes, King Wu, we never want to return to Daqian and live a life of being oppressed by others." Another soldier followed closely behind and said with a pleading look on his face.

"It was King Wu who gave us a new life. We are willing to fight for him through life and death." More officers and soldiers began to kneel down, their voices filled with determination and loyalty.

"If you send us over now, we would rather die in battle than go back."

"go through fire and water!"

"go through fire and water!"

"go through fire and water!"

……

They knelt on the ground one by one, begging for mercy non-stop, the sound of their kowtows echoing "bang bang bang" on the bluestone floor.

Every kowtow carried with it the fear and despair in their hearts, as if only this could make their hearts feel a little calmer.

For them, life in the rebel army and life in Daqian are like heaven and earth.

In Daqian, they lived a precarious life, and could be arrested by the government and forced to do forced labor at any time, or exploited by the landlords until they had nothing.

Those days seemed like an endless night with no sign of light.

In the rebel army, they not only had food and clothing, but also felt the long-lost respect and freedom.

Life in the rebel army allowed them to regain hope in life.

Having enjoyed a happy life in the rebel army, they never wanted to go back to that kind of miserable life.

That kind of life was like a nightmare, but the emergence of the rebels made them wake up from the nightmare and usher in a new life.

And all this is only because of Lin Zhongyun. If it weren't for him, they would not know what kind of oppression they would have suffered, or they would have already become frozen corpses outside the rich man's gate.

Therefore, they were full of gratitude and admiration for Lin Zhongyun and regarded him as the hero and leader who saved them.

They thought that Lin Zhongyun was testing them by doing this, and some even refused and threatened to die on the spot to express their loyalty.

Lin Zhongyun smiled with satisfaction at these people's reactions.

These people finally lived up to his expectations.

Now he can hand over this task to these people with greater peace of mind.

Then he waved his hand and brought up several large boxes of money that he had prepared earlier, and said loudly: "I have said what I have said and I cannot go back on my word. Since I have said I will reward you, I will definitely reward you."

His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of majesty and decisiveness, as if every word could strike into people's hearts.

"But in addition to your share of these treasures, there is also a share for those who are currently suffering from the oppression and torture of Daqian."

Having said this, he paused and continued: "This king wants you to spread these treasures to everyone around you, the more the better."

"If you do this well, it will be the greatest reward for me."

Hearing these words, everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Zhongyun in disbelief.

"King Wu, did I hear you correctly? You want us to take these things back?"

"How is this possible? King Wu, you really flatter me."

"We haven't done anything, how can we accept such a reward?"

……

Lin Zhongyun's actions completely confused them.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

No one expected that this previous test was actually real.

You know, throughout history, no one has ever given money directly to everyone.

They had only dared to dream about such a pie-in-the-sky thing, but they never thought it would become a reality.

“These things are not only for you to take back.”

Lin Zhongyun smiled and continued, "And you can take as much as you can. When you go back, you must let everyone know about this."

"Don't be afraid to spend money. Make the biggest noise possible. It would be best if everyone in the village and the neighborhood knew about our rebel army's policy and this matter."

This time he wanted to create a sensation in the city.

He wanted to see what the entire Daqian court would do.
Just this operation alone is enough to make them suffer.

soon.

Supported by huge wealth, these people left Jialing County contentedly with their huge wealth and returned to their hometowns to recruit more officers and soldiers.

Of course, he did not forget his current goal. In the city of Fuling that he had just captured, many people were not from Fuling City, but from other cities.

He also let these people take the treasure back. At the same time, he also increased the propaganda efforts of Yuan Jingxin to publicize the policies of the rebel army more thoroughly.

Centrifugal tactics and psychological tactics.

This time, he was going to do two things at once.

As the saying goes, wealth and power move people's hearts. He doesn't believe that under such circumstances, Daqian can still rely on high pressure to maintain the current status quo.
Ps: I beg for monthly tickets at the end of the month! I beg you to support me, my little author! ! !
