Outside Shouchun City, Lu Bu's army pressed the border.
Liu Miao was afraid of Lu Bu's strong army, and he never flinched and did not engage Lu Bu's army.
Lu Bu and Jia Xu thought of a lot of strategies, wanting to attract Liu Xuan to take the initiative.
But Liu Miao was not moved at all, and seemed to have made up his mind to defend the city and resolutely not wave.
In the end, it seemed that only one strategy was left to attack the city.
The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom.
Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom.
Until the last resort, Lu Bu was absolutely unwilling to attack the city.
Because once the city is attacked, it is bound to kill and injure the lives of countless soldiers, which Lu Bu does not want to see.
But now in the face of the city of Shouchun, in the face of what may be the most stubborn resistance of Lujiang County, Lu Bu seems to have only one strategy left to attack the city.
In the end, Lü Bu decided to attack the city.
For several days in a row, the people's soldiers were building engineering equipment a few miles below Shouchun City.
At the same time, it is also making a large number of catapults.
Catapults have appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, but they are used on a large scale, and at their peak, they must retreat to the Song Dynasty.
The original catapult was simple in structure, using a huge lever.
The long end must be loaded with a leather case or a wooden frame, and the shorter end must be tied with dozens of ropes.
After giving the order to attack, dozens of people pulled the rope at the same time, using the principle of levers to throw the stones.
From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the development of catapults was limited.
The catapult that Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to make was actually a relatively high-level counterweight catapult that had been improved in later generations.
The counterweight catapult allows a small number of soldiers to use a winch to lift the stones first.
After loading the stones as cannonballs, release the stones and drop them.
This summary method can greatly reduce the number of operators and reduce the space required for operation.
Second, the accuracy of throwing is also greatly improved, and the weight can be adjusted to control the range.
In the past, catapults had no way to control the range, and their accuracy was very poor.
And in the past, the catapult personnel must be professionally trained, and it takes a long time to run in to achieve a certain accuracy.
It can be said that with the new catapult, the difficulty of the siege will be greatly reduced.
Seeing the soldiers under the city building engineering equipment in full swing, the defenders on the city wall, and the people in Shouchun City were all enveloped by a huge pressure.
The most difficult war is about to begin In the face of the entire Han Dynasty, the most brave and good at fighting, it can be said that the people's soldiers who have won a hundred battles, and the soldiers in Shouchun City can be said to be under huge psychological pressure.
While the soldiers were making siege equipment, Lu Bu was not idle, but was engaged in public opinion warfare and psychological tactics.
The means of application is to take advantage of the principle of Kong Ming lantern and throw a large number of leaflets into Shouchun City.
At the earliest, Jia Xu and Lu Bu were actually preparing to use Kong Ming lanterns to set fire to Shouchun City.
However, Liu Miao had already had a countermeasure, and all the flammable materials in Shouchun City were covered.
Each street is equipped with fire-fighting objects such as water wheels and water tanks.
Therefore, there is no way to implement the arson.
In fact, many of the magic methods that Lu Bu had used before, after they were spread, it was difficult to use them a second time.
Because everyone knows your method, it is impossible to be deceived again.
So, if it doesn't work out, let's just use it to drop leaflets.
The content of the leaflet is nothing more than to publicize how the people of the four counties of Jiangdong live well, and the welfare of the four counties of Jiangdong is great.
The focus of the propaganda was on the distribution of land on a per capita basis, the collection of taxes on a per capita basis, and the prohibition of buying and selling land once it had been granted.
In the minds of the people, the most important thing is always land.
It can be said that the attraction of this article to the common people is undoubtedly fatal Lu Bu promised that as long as he entered Shouchun City, he promised to do this.
That alone was enough to make the people of the city cheer.
The second point is to criticize Liu Xuan, saying that Liu Xuan's corpse is a vegetarian meal, and he only knows his own pleasure, and does not know how to think about the people under his jurisdiction.
If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes In fact, Liu Miao is not a corrupt official with a fat brain, on the contrary, this person's reputation is quite good among the many bureaucrats in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of course, this is good, it depends on who you compare it to.

Compared with Lu Bu, it is naturally one heaven and one underground, far inferior.
Finally, it's agitation.
In the face of the absolute strength of the people's soldiers, a mere Shouchun City will be crushed sooner or later.
If anyone surrenders the city, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold If someone catches Liu Xuan, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be named the county magistrate of Shouchun County When the leaflets landed in Shouchun City, the entire Shouchun City, whether it was among the soldiers or the people, caused a huge sensation.
These leaflets soon fell into the hands of Liu Xuan.
Seeing these leaflets, Liu Miao almost vomited blood in anger.
But in the face of this kind of psychological warfare, Liu Miao was helpless.
Not to mention Liu Xuan, it is estimated that in the entire Han Dynasty, no one dares to say that there are absolute countermeasures in the face of psychological warfare.
Because before that, no one had ever used this trick with such fanfare.
And this kind of psychological warfare is so effective that now in the entire Shouchun City, almost all the people and soldiers are talking about the leaflets.
Many people have heard of Jiangdong's policies, and they are all yearning for it, and there are also envy, jealousy and hatred.
But it's just a yearning in my heart, because I always feel that it's far away from me.
But now, when these people saw the leaflets, their hearts suddenly came alive and they were eager to do so.
As for those soldiers, they were actually selected from among the common people, and they all had families.
They are looking forward to these policies in their hearts.
In all fairness, Liu Miao is still good to them, at least he can say the past.
But compared with Lu Bu's policy, Liu Miao is too deductible, and Liu Miao will never be able to give them this promise.
Compared with the two, many soldiers couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Liu Miao in their hearts.
Of course, these grievances, even they themselves did not pay attention to, but they have quietly taken root in their hearts.
During these days, Liu Miao sent his cronies to visit the people's public opinion on the street.
As a result, the news he got made Liu Miao furious There are hundreds of people who are looking forward to Lu Bu's army entering the city, and they can't wait for Shouchun City to change hands soon.
There are even people discussing how to dedicate the city, if Liu Miao can be caught and surrendered, and he can also get a county order to do, it is really excellent In fact, many people are really just talking.
But Liu Miao's concern was chaotic, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
In fact, this is also the terrible thing about psychological warfare
