Turbulent Times Chapter 1078: Psychological warfare and public opinion warfare


(Originally, I wanted to show some new things made by Wang Junlin’s side in this offensive and defensive battle, so that it would not be obtrusive when he conquered Goguryeo later, but I read many comments from readers saying that the progress was too slow, so I had to speed up The plot saves a lot of content.)

At this time, a shout suddenly sounded from Wang Junlin's front line. It was a loud voice, speaking in Goguryeo.

"Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers digging trenches, don't give your life to Yuangai Suwen, dig a little further, run into the Lanma ditch, and lie down on the ground when you see a white flag tree, we promise not Kill you, and let you stay on the island as common people, give you land, ten acres of land per person, and promise not to let you starve to death..."

"Everyone, don't listen to their nonsense. We are from Goguryeo, and they are from the Sui Dynasty. If we pass by, we will definitely be beheaded by them. The Sui people have no good things."

The voice on the other side continued to shout: "Our lord Qin An said that as long as the auxiliary soldiers voluntarily surrendered, we will never behead them. Here are the Goguryeo brothers who surrendered to us in the war more than two months ago. They Now I am a commoner on Bailing Island, how is life going, you can listen to them."

The Goguryeo soldiers who supervised the battle quickly shouted: "Fake, don't believe it, the Sui people are the most cunning..."

A loud voice sounded, using the pure Annan County dialect of Goguryeo: "Brothers in the auxiliary army, brother, I am Cui Gouzi from the third team of the former First Navy of Annan County in Goguryeo. I voluntarily surrendered to Sui in the last battle. People, they didn't kill us, as long as they work hard for two months, they will become common people on the island, and they will also give ten acres of land. Think about your life in Goguryeo. The auxiliary soldiers are not as good as pigs and dogs. It is used to die, and it is not fighting for Goguryeo, but for Yuan Gai Suwen's personal revenge. If you can kill the head of a Goguryeo soldier, we Qin Angong said, reward one hundred taels of silver at a time, and fifty taels of silver. Acres of fertile land, and a daughter-in-law..."

The name of Cui Gouzi, although most of the Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers have never heard of it, but the dialect of Goguryeo in the other party's Annan County cannot be faked. The most important thing is to improve Goguryeo's auxiliary soldiers. Therefore, they only have hatred for the generals of the army, and they have only resentment for the country of Goguryeo.

Wang Junlin has seen this point, and he really needs people, especially if there are a large number of loyal Goguryeo people on the two islands, it will be very useful for Yang Guang's plan to fight at sea when he conquers Goguryeo. That's why Wang Junlin specially planned this psychological warfare and public opinion warfare.

Although the auxiliary soldiers in the Goguryeo trench are silent at this time, everyone in the trench can keenly feel that the atmosphere has suddenly become subtle, and the mentality of the auxiliary soldiers has also begun to change, especially when listening to When the Goguryeo soldiers were killed and rewarded with a lot of money and fertile land, the Goguryeo soldiers who supervised the work in the trench immediately became nervous, and their hands were all on the handle of the Shun Dao.

The people shouting on the opposite side spoke one by one, all using the Goguryeo dialect of Annan County, each with a name and surname, and the one who came up at the end surprised all the Goguryeo people, including Yuangai Suwen.

The navy general they came with this time, Li Xiaoli, the nobleman of Goguryeo, unexpectedly surrendered to Wang Junlin's side. He repeatedly yelled in Goguryeo, roughly meaning that this war was launched by Yuan Gaisuwen for personal vengeance, regardless of the life and death of Goguryeo soldiers. All the soldiers of Goguryeo stood up against Yuan Gai Su Wen, as long as Yuan Gai Su Wen was killed, the others could return home safely.

The Goguryeo front is quiet, only Yuan Gai Suwen's confidantes and soldiers are scolding, but they are not prepared in advance, and there is no special loudspeaker from Wang Junlin's side, so the sound is not far at all. Many Goguryeo The soldiers suspected that the Sui people on the opposite side could not hear what they were cursing at all, not to mention that they were cursing in Goguryeo, which almost all the Sui people on the opposite side could not understand.

Yuan Gai Su Wen's expression was so gloomy that he could drip water, but he was indeed not an incompetent person. He quickly reacted, and more than a hundred soldiers stood up and shouted in unison: "The general has an order. After this battle, All auxiliary soldiers can be turned into combat soldiers, regardless of their previous crimes or identities, they will all be wiped out."

I have to say that this sentence from Yuan Gai Suwen Rang is exactly what all Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers most want to obtain and realize. Unfortunately, that Li Xiaoli did not know who was instructed, and shouted again: "Brother auxiliary soldiers Ladies, haven’t you thought about it? You are running out of food, and Yuan Gai Suwen can only feed his soldiers if he consumes all of you to death on the battlefield, so you will surely die if you follow Yuan Gai Suwen , can’t live after the war, let alone write off everything before.”

Li Xiaoli's words were Yang Kongchan's suggestion to Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin sent someone to pass it on to Li Xiaoli on the spot, and asked him to shout to the other side. It can be said to hit the nail on the head. There was no reaction, but the way they looked at the soldiers suddenly changed.

Wang Junlin's psychological warfare and public opinion warfare were very effective. In the next battle, the Goguryeo side's auxiliary soldiers lost all morale. Once the Goguryeo people forced them too much, there would be groups of people fleeing to Wang Junlin's side of the earthen wall surrender.

Wang Junlin also learned from Li Xiaoli that nearly half of the opponent belonged to Yuan Taizuo's direct lineage, and they could be regarded as Yuan Gaisuwen's confidants, while the other half was not. Therefore, in the next battle, Wang Junlin deliberately Selecting Yuangai Suwen's direct descendants to fight, after a long time, a tacit understanding was formed with other Goguryeo troops who were not directly descended from Yuangai Suwen.

As time went by, Yuan Gai Suwen's face became more and more ugly, and he sent the captain of the personal army to secretly check the various armies. , Lee

Tu Shi and the others all pretended to be aggressive and shouted to kill, but in fact they didn't really fight. "

Yuan Gai Su Wen's eyes flickered coldly, he didn't expect that the non-directed people under his command almost formed a tacit understanding with Wang Junlin's side, and Wang Junlin stared at his direct descendants to fight.

It seems that Wang Junlin is very clear about the composition and power of the Goguryeo army, and those who attack are all his direct descendants. The first thing Yuan Gai Su Wen thought of was that Li Xiaoli told Wang Junlin many things.

Yuan Gai Suwen said coldly: "Find out all the relatives of Li Xiaoli who are in the army, bring them to the front of the battle and kill them all."

The captain of the personal army immediately took the order and left. After he left, Cui Shengjun, who had won the trust of Yuan Gai Suwen these days, suddenly whispered to Yuan Gai Suwen: "General, if this continues, the morale of all armies will be worn down." It's gone."
