What to try? Guan Yu can't keep up with Li Mengxi's thinking.

Li Mengxi believed that it might be possible to persuade the Yellow Turbans to surrender. Leaving aside the success rate of persuading them to surrender, it would be okay if they failed to persuade them to surrender, but if they succeeded, they would make a lot of money.

Guan Yu asked Li Mengxi if he could be sure of persuading him to surrender, but Li Mengxi said he was not sure.

Guan Yu couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask Liu Bei again.

Asked Liu Bei, Liu Bei was also in trouble.

Unlike Guan Yu, Liu Bei considered it from other aspects, and persuading him to surrender was not something he could just try casually.

If you persuaded you to surrender before you even attacked the mountain, then the enemy might think that you are intimidated and refuse to surrender easily.

If the attack on the mountain fails, it is not possible to persuade them to surrender at this time. At this time, the attacking side is already at an obvious disadvantage. Persuading them to surrender is like giving a signal to the enemy on the mountain that you are unable to fight any longer, so the only option is to persuade them to surrender.

This is not a solution but a last ditch effort.

"Xi'er, you should be careful when trying to persuade us to surrender.

If you persuade me to surrender too early, the enemy will know that I am not determined to fight; if I persuade you to surrender too late, I have already taken out the city and destroyed the stronghold, and it is useless for the enemy to surrender to me.

To persuade us to surrender when our army is in decline is to bring about humiliation; to persuade us to surrender when there is a stalemate may be possible; when the enemy's army is retreating and defeated, it may be possible."

Li Mengxi was dumbfounded. He thought that persuading him to surrender was a sure-profit deal. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei didn't think so and said that the timing of persuading him to surrender was not good and it would be counterproductive.

What Liu Bei said was obviously very reasonable. Li Mengxi was convinced. Guan Yu was familiar with the art of war. Didn't Liu Bei just start learning the art of war? But where did he learn this mind-attacking tactic? Is it self-taught?

The key to persuading surrender is to attack the heart.

When the enemy and we are in a stalemate, it is difficult to determine the outcome. To persuade us to surrender at this time may expose the problem that our army is too weak to continue the fight. We have been fighting for such a long time. If we can continue to fight, why not continue to fight? Why do we have to fight halfway?

Want to persuade him to surrender?

A sharp-minded general will think so, and a more evil general will defend the city. After ten days and a half, the enemy is in a hurry to attack the city, and then suddenly the enemy forces persuade him to surrender. At this time, evil people such as Zhuge Kongming

It was immediately known that the enemy's troops were exhausted and weak on the outside.

During the day, he persuaded people to surrender, and at night Zhuge Kongming sent people out of the city to steal the camp, and then gg.

Persuading someone to surrender is really not a simple matter. Of course, persuading someone to surrender can be as simple as finding someone with a loud voice and shouting down into the city.

However, it takes a lot of knowledge to correctly understand the enemy's psychology and persuade them to surrender.

When our army is in decline, the success rate of persuading us to surrender is too low. When there is a stalemate, the success rate of persuading us to surrender is still low. However, after the enemy has retreated for a while, the enemy's military morale is unstable and people are panicked, the possibility of persuading them to surrender is high.

Already.

Li Mengxi was greatly educated.

Although there are many military arts in ancient times, there is no military book that teaches in detail how to persuade people to surrender. Even in the past life, when military technology developed to the point where it reaches the heavens and the earth and the sky-exploding appearance of outer space, there is no specific knowledge on how to persuade people to surrender.

Li Mengxi touched his arms and took out a fun thing - bamboo slips!

When Guan Yu saw the bamboo slips, he immediately smiled and asked Li Mengxi if it would be cool if he stuffed the bamboo slips into his clothes.

"It's a bit cold." Li Mengxi chuckled.

Then, he shook off the bamboo slips and hurriedly carved a few words on the bamboo slips, "Encourage the enemy to be defeated". It was gone.

As for when I have enough paper in the future, I can write in detail why persuading surrender is most effective when the enemy is weakened. I want to sort out the art of war at that time. When I see this sentence I have engraved, I can think of everything at once.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu watched the whole process and watched the entire process of Li Mengxi's carving.

"Teacher taught me that a good memory is not as good as a bad writing." After Li Mengxi finished carving, he found Liu Bei and Guan Yu looking at him and explained with a smile.

Li Mengxi kept his hands on the book and his serious attitude towards learning made Liu Bei and Guan Yu extremely moved.

It is possible to persuade people to surrender.

If you can reduce casualties, you have to give it a try.

"Our army has few soldiers, so we can let the civilians follow us to strengthen our momentum." Liu Bei said.

"Well, since we need to use the civilians to wave the flag and shout, now that the civilians are not accustomed to battle formations, the formations are uneven, and thousands of civilians come out at once, they are as chaotic as a flock of sheep, we might as well do a little training." Li Mengxi frowned.

"In this battle, the priority is to attack the heart. We must work hard to seize the enemy's left and right camps without giving the enemy any chance to breathe or take any chances." Guan Yu interjected.

"Yeah." Li Mengxi frowned again, "Destroying the stronghold in one fell swoop is related to the effectiveness of the attack. It would be better for all five hundred of our army to die in battle than to hold on to a stalemate. I would like to warn all soldiers to be brave when attacking the mountain."

By advancing steadily, there will be fewer casualties, and by retaining the effective strength of our army, we can slowly wipe out all the enemy forces, and we will have an advantage at the tactical level.

But from a strategic point of view, attacking the enemy's stronghold at once regardless of casualties will have a huge impact on the enemy's morale.

The speed of conquering the enemy's stronghold is related to the possibility of persuading the enemy to surrender.

Regardless of the casualties, a fierce attack may cause more casualties, but looking at the overall situation, because of the fierce attack, the enemy's camp that they thought was impregnable was gone in an instant. The enemy's morale was shaken. After successfully persuading them to surrender, they subsequently attacked the pass.

There are no more casualties, which actually reduces the overall casualties.

War should not be limited to local casualties.

There are nine thousand civilians here. Excluding women and children, there are at least five thousand men. If five thousand people stand down the mountain, they will scare the enemy to death.

But then Li Mengxi's overly active thinking came to mind again.

I just learned that the time to score points for persuading surrender is correct, it doesn’t matter if you persuade someone to surrender too early or too late.

The knowledge he had just learned was so impressive that Li Mengxi immediately thought that since the civilians were allowed to flourish, it would be better if five hundred soldiers and thousands of civilians went out into battle at the beginning, or if the soldiers appeared first and then the civilians.

.

This question is interesting and worth discussing.

The three of them each had their own explanations, and they argued for a long time before finally reaching the same point of view.

After the soldiers broke through the Yellow Turban Mid-Levels Stronghold, the Yellow Turbans were in panic. If thousands of people could not fight and could only look at the appearance of a large civilian formation suddenly appeared, this would be the most devastating blow to the enemy's morale.

.

The effect is not just as simple as one plus one being greater than two.

In ancient times, Cao GUI's debates were full of energy, then weakened, and finally exhausted.

Now it is used in another way: when fighting, it is as brave as a wolf, then it advances like a tiger up the mountain, and then reinforcements arrive, and its momentum is even more powerful, like overwhelming mountains and seas.

The psychological offensive can be carried out by taking out all the cards at the beginning and making a big splash at the beginning. It can also be used in one wave, one wave after another, and the enemy can be pressed step by step in a chain-linked manner until the enemy is defeated.

This method of warfare is not recorded in ancient military books, but it can be recorded as - the method of attacking the heart with waves.
