When Ji Ling entered the empty Cao army camp, Cao Cao was already dozens of miles away.

The sky was light, and Cao's army, which had experienced a battle and marched rapidly for most of the night, was safely out of the range that Ji Ling's army could pursue. Of course, Cao Jun's physical strength was also exhausted by continuous high-intensity exercise.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and the sense of persecution in the night was gradually disappearing, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to bury the pot on the spot to cook.

Ordered, even half of Cao Bing rushed into the original forest on the side of the road to collect firewood, and the other half built a simple pot stove on the spot.

Everyone works together, and the progress is naturally fast. In the end, it took less time to bury the pot to find firewood than it took to wait for the water to boil.

Cao Jun didn't have any food, and all he brought with him were some dry food that he could eat when he took it out of his arms. The reason why it is necessary to bury the pot to make rice is because in the cold winter wax moon, especially in the early morning in the second half of the night, the human body loses heat quickly. Eating only dry food with only body temperature is absolutely difficult to support a long march. In order to maintain a person's physical strength and health at a normal level for a long time, it is necessary to eat hot meals and drink hot water to directly replenish calories and enhance the body's activity.

It takes a long time to wait for the water to boil in the open air, and the simple stoves constructed are all amateur level, leaking fire everywhere. Fortunately, Huainan suffered from a rare drought in a century, and the firewood was dry. Otherwise, the boiling time will be longer.

When it was time to boil water, many Cao Jun couldn't help but feel sleepy, and slept on the ground in twos and threes, or took a nap on their weapons.

Seeing that most of the soldiers and even a few generals showed sleepiness on their faces, Xun You persuaded Cao Cao at the right time: "Duke Ming, let the army rest for a while before continuing to march." The soldiers had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights. ”

Xun You's words did not contain a trace of exaggeration. In fact, since the crazy music on Chinese New Year's Eve, Cao Jun has not rested well.

I don't talk about the night of the mutiny. The first day after the mutiny did not rest, and the non-commissioned officers of all departments were busy looking for their own generals, and the captains and lieutenants were looking for their own generals, and the generals were even more busy listening to Cao Ren's arrangements and evacuating to the north bank alternately.

That night, he had to deal with Zhang Xiujun's attack on the camp. It is said that it is an attack, but it is actually similar to a strong attack, except that he did not bring offensive equipment, and only used heavy cavalry to charge the camp. The Cao army camp that was in a tight position for the camp had no protection at all, and it was naturally difficult to effectively resist the cavalry of Zhang Xiu's army without making antlers to resist horses. So it was only possible to concentrate infantry forces on the defensive.

The next day, Cao Cao finally came back, everyone saw Cao Cao was first excited, and then there was news that Cao Cao was crying and unconscious, Cao Jun's mood was not very good in an instant, and he could still sleep.

As a result, Cao Cao jumped around the camps again in the evening, and directly said bluntly that it was just to deceive Zhang Xiu. Cao Jun, who was extremely depressed, heard this, and many Cao Jun who had experienced the Battle of Puyang instantly felt that this situation was very similar to that scene in Puyang back then: Cao Cao was also deceived into the city first, and then caught in the urn. In the end, they all escaped by luck, and then pretended to be dead and pretended to be sick to lure Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, who had the courage and no plans to attack them, and then turned the tables in one fell swoop!

So all Cao Jun's hearts were filled with confidence again, and it was by lying in ambush that Cao Lu reversed the balance of power. This time, it will be the same!

It's just that the final result is not too ideal, Zhang Xiu's guy is even better than Lu Bu in terms of adventurousness, and Lu Bu also knows how to cooperate with foot and horse. Zhang Xiu relied on the fact that he had the most well-equipped Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear Soldiers in the world, so he dared to directly lead only the cavalry to charge the camp.

The final result was not what Cao Jun expected. In the hearts of most Cao Jun, at least thirty or forty thousand embroidery troops were gnawed away in this battle.

Of course, it's just that the ordinary soldiers' expectations of the results of the battle are like this, but in the hearts of Cao Cao, Xunyou and others, they have already met their psychological expectations.

The reason why the Battle of Puyang made Lu Bu very miserable was that most of Cao Cao's army at that time was composed of Qingzhou soldiers. Most of the Qingzhou soldiers who died in the city were Qingzhou soldiers, and the Qingzhou soldiers who survived outside the city naturally wanted to avenge their fellow villagers, and they still had Dian Wei, who could match Lu Bu at that time, so they naturally killed Lu Bu in fear.

But today's situation is too far from that of the past, and most of the composition of Cao's army today is non-Qingzhou soldiers. And the relationship between these ordinary Cao soldiers who are not Qingzhou soldiers and the Qingzhou soldiers group is quite unharmonious.

As Cao Cao's starting and famous troops, the Qingzhou Bing Group has a pretentious sense of superiority since its inception. In addition, the commanders of the Qingzhou soldiers are all the relatives and nobles of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, and they have developed the arrogant style of the Qingzhou soldiers as Cao Cao's personal descendants, and they are not birds to other friendly troops. The food and wages that are grabbed in peacetime, and the camps that are forcibly occupied in wartime, take the best everywhere. Even during the battle, the Qingzhou soldiers were reluctant to be the first to go into battle, and always refused to be the first to go into battle because the veteran should be the backbone of the second line.

Usually walking on the street, the Qingzhou soldiers are even more unscrupulous. When I met ordinary Cao Bing, I watched them walk past with my nostrils. Not to mention the general local county garrison township soldiers, an ordinary Qingzhou soldier dares to point fingers and even beat the captain of a township soldier, and finally the township soldier captain does not dare to find trouble, because the Qingzhou soldiers are famous for protecting their shortcomings, and the most typical in this regard is the first general of the Xiahou clan - General Xiahoudun.

The Qingzhou soldiers looked down on the ordinary Cao soldiers, and the ordinary Cao soldiers couldn't get used to these outsiders.

Take the Yanzhou soldiers of Yuzhou as an example, the soldiers from these two states accounted for a considerable part of the ordinary Cao army. Before they joined the army, what they saw was that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, the predecessor of the Qingzhou soldiers, invaded their fields, looted their food, wives and daughters, and killed their relatives.

But the million Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army instantly transformed into a good citizen of the imperial court. After Cao Cao selected more than 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers to be strong, he assigned the 780,000 or 800,000 family members of these 300,000 or 400,000 Qingzhou soldiers to the fields, or became military households in Tuntian, or directly became local farmers.

Whose land is allocated belongs to the people of Yuzhou and Yanzhou!

Fortunately, the world was in turmoil, and two or three of the ten households were saved, and they were divided into a part by the townships outside Qingzhou, and there were still many ownerless fields. Therefore, the people of Yanzhou in Yuzhou also joined the army, in order to share the land for their families. But after entering the barracks, no one expected to be despised and bullied by the Qingzhou soldiers.

The Qingzhou soldiers most often said to the Yuzhou soldiers, the Yanzhou soldiers, or the last Sizhou Xuzhou soldiers: "When Lao Tzu was a soldier with a knife, you were still playing with mud at home!" ”

At this time, the soldiers from Yanzhou always think of their hometown and relatives who were tragically ravaged, and say a sentence or two: "You were also considered soldiers back then?" "Yellow Turban thieves are also soldiers?" The gunpowder was ignited.

As soon as the two groups of people started fighting, no matter who provoked trouble first and who lost or won, in the end, it was always the Qingzhou soldiers who were not punished, but they were scolded by the general above.

When things get bigger, they will always involve the upper-level generals, and in the game, the Cao family's relatives and nobles will naturally contact Cao Cao himself or other adjudicators one step ahead of the generals with foreign surnames.

The Qingzhou soldiers said that the Qingzhou soldiers were the second, and no one dared to say the second.

I also know that I am always a foreigner, and the Qingzhou soldiers are naturally very grouped and protect their shortcomings. Especially in Lü Bu, Qingzhou was occupied by Yuan Shao's troops, and Cao Yuan could not immediately start a war to recapture it due to various problems, and the Qingzhou soldiers were even more embraced in trouble.

Okay, it seems like it's a bit far, back to the point.

Cao Cao's move, in fact, can't help but be a trick, and he also uses the art of war that everyone has tried and tested from ancient times to the present.

First of all, because of the enemy's reasons, the morale of your own side plummeted. It was as if Zhang Xiu suddenly attacked on Chinese New Year's Eve and crippled Cao Jun. Then, there is a deliberate lower mood created by oneself, which makes the fighting spirit and hope of all of them extremely low!

Yes, it is low to the extreme, and only when it reaches one extreme, can the extremes of things be reversed to the other extreme.

Since all Cao Jun thought that they were nothing without him Cao Cao, and they would never be able to win this battle without Cao Cao to lead them, then Cao Cao directly created the illusion that he was seriously ill and unconscious. First snatched away everyone's remaining hope, and then suddenly appeared as nothing, in a posture where everything was under my control, and in an instant, Cao Jun's deep despair was transformed into hope amplified by sudden surprise!

This is the truth that mourning soldiers will win! In an instant, the morale and fighting spirit will be restored, and even better than normal! Morale and fighting spirit have been restored, so why not fight?

It's just that this battle, compared to the battle against Lu Bu in Puyang, lacks a sense of cohesion and revenge of the army. Therefore, Cao Cao also knew that it was impossible to eat more Zhang Xiujun in one go. Although the Qingzhou soldiers, who have gradually transformed, still like to group in case of trouble, they have gradually been divided into large and small groups due to various interests, and they can no longer arouse the bloody nature of avenging their fellow villagers and relatives. Quite a lot of ordinary Cao Jun did not resent Zhang Xiujun's disloyalty after this battle, but complained more about the rapid defeat of Qingzhou in Beicheng, which led to the collapse of the situation in Nancheng.

If you insisted on fighting at that time, as long as you dragged it until the lord presided over the big things, you would definitely be invincible!

……

What Cao Cao didn't know was that Zhang Xiu also used the way of mourning soldiers to win!

Zhang Xiu didn't surrender sincerely, because Zhang Xiu, who is familiar with history, knows what happened to Zhang Xiu after he surrendered in history - died young!

Zhang Xiu did admit from the bottom of his heart that Cao Cao's mind was extremely broad. Take the rich Toda clan who was used by Chen Gong to trick Cao Cao into Puyang. Tian's cooperation with Lu Bu's performance caused Cao Cao to lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. But later, the Tian family wanted to really surrender to Cao Cao, on the condition that his life and his family be safe, and Cao Cao agreed, and even did it.

Such a thing of repaying grievances with virtue has been done all his life by Cao Cao, who "dares to hate and dare to love". In history, Zhang Xiu made Cao Cao fold the general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang, and when Cao Cao was in pain with Dian Wei, he vowed to take Zhang Xiu's dog life. But when Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao was not to blame.

is like Liu Bei, Cao Cao is clear about Liu Bei's talent, and the most important thing is that he feels that Liu Bei is not stupid and can see the general trend of the world. So although he didn't know Liu Bei's ambitions, he still helped and even took Liu Bei in three times and twice. When Xun You and others persuaded Liu Bei to be killed, Cao Cao still refused to play an unknown black hand. Such a true hero who dares to love and hate, Zhang Xiu admires him very much.

But admiration does not mean convincing. Zhang Xiu knows his position in Cao Cao's heart, all he can play in Cao Ying is the ability of a general, and Cao Cao is the most lacking general, and his martial arts skills are not high or outstanding, if he wants to win, he has to rely on yin tricks to lose moves, and the battlefield sword has no eyes, and it is not good to be killed by that fierce general in one move that day.

For example, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Ma Chao are all famous gods of one knife and one gun, and Zhang Xiubao is not sure that he will not be sent out to fight.

Fortunately, after Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao in history, he basically never appeared again. So Zhang Xiu doesn't have to worry about these problems. But since Cao Cao is not to blame in the past, why does it say that Zhang Xiu "died young" in history, and died in his forties? The various reasons are unclear, because historical records are inconsistent, some say that Cao Cao reigned Zhang Xiu died of illness, and some say that Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and forced Zhang Xiu to death.

No matter what the facts are, in short, Zhang Xiu now compares his heart to his heart, if someone else kills his beloved son or brother, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

Fate, or in your own hands, peace of mind!
