Chapter One Hundred and Seven: An Adventurous Plan
The Bear Slaughter Army unexpectedly easily burned down Dong Zhuojun's grain and grass camp, and it was beyond imagination, when the defending generals of Dong Zhuo's army grain and grass camp arrived at the grain and grass camp, the camp had been burned to ruins. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info.
General Zhang, the defending general of the grain and grass battalion:
"Who did this, we left for 2 days, how did the battalion become like this, leaving the soldiers on duty?"
"My lord, dozens of charred corpses were found in the camp, which should be the corpses of the soldiers left behind, and the camp was destroyed... Let's think about how to explain it. The lieutenant general of General Zhang said.
"This... How can I explain to General Guo Yan, how can I explain to the Taishi, if the Taishi knows about the grain and grass camp, we will all die."
"Instead of leaving a dead end, it's better for us to simply run into the mountains and fall into the grass for the sake of the cowards, it's better than going back and being killed"
Another general in General Zhang's army said;
"It's easy for you to say it, the feeling is that you are one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, our family is in Chang'an City, if we run away like this, our family of more than a dozen will be killed by Dong Zhuo; The adjutant general said, at this time, he was no longer called Taishi, but changed his name to Dong Zhuo.
"Yes, our family is also in Chang'an, how can I give up them to steal my own life," General Zhang said
"It's better to be like this, we are only 3 days away from Chang'an, and Hanguguan is more than 10 days away from Chang'an at the earliest, why don't we risk going back to Chang'an and stealing the thief out?" The lieutenant general came up with an idea
"Isn't that self-defeating? What if someone from Chang'an asks why we came back first? The general said
"I expect that it will be at least 2 days before Dong Zhuojun next goes to Huxian County to deliver grain and grass to the big operation, and they found that there is a problem in Huxian County and report to Dong Zhuo to deliver the news to Chang'an, even if it takes three or five days to use the messenger fast horse, we have a chance;
If the people in Chang'an ask, we will all insist that Dong Zhuo in front of us was defeated and the army was dispersed, and we just fled back to Chang'an first, so that the city panicked, and everyone was busy running for their lives, so no one paid attention to our actions of escaping with our family."
The lieutenant said;
"Clever plan, act according to this plan," said General Zhang;
It was this general surnamed Zhang's move that caused earth-shaking changes to the entire battle situation in the future, but General Zhang's people didn't care, they just cared about their own family and would not be poisoned by Dong Zhuo because of their mistakes;
They have just stolen a big tomb now, and almost every general has a share of the stolen things, and even many soldiers have hidden some of them, and what they are thinking about now is how to take their home from Chang'an as soon as possible to find a different place to live a good life;
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, but the camp of the Bear Slaughter Army on the other side had a disagreement about the subsequent action because of the too smooth operation of this operation;
At midnight, only some low insect chirping can be heard in the dark night sky, and loud noises are not allowed in the night barracks in ancient times, so the entire bear slaughter army camp is very quiet;
Most of the soldiers were already very tired after a few days of running, and at this time they were finally able to sleep peacefully, thinking that their task was completed, and then they could go back to the official to receive the reward;
There was only one military tent with a light still on, and from the outside there was a faint sound of quarrels inside;
"General Shi, our operation is very smooth, until now Dong Zhuo still doesn't know our actions, I suggest that we now go to ambush Dong Zhuo to retreat to Tongguan, a few days later Dong Zhuo learned that the grain and grass were burned and he must retreat;
We can take the opportunity to ambush their rear team, they have no food, even if we know that the rear team is intercepted and killed, we will definitely think that it is a pursuer, and we will definitely not fight back in the army."
Wei Yan said brightly, and as he spoke, he took out a topographic map pen and drew it;
Shi Jian didn't speak, just stared at the topographical map and thought silently, but another lieutenant general, Tai Shici, said a different opinion:
"I do not agree with General Wei's suggestion, our task is to burn Dong Zhuo's grain and grass camp, which has been successfully completed at this time, as for the task of ambushing or pursuing the enemy army, it should be left to the defenders of Hangu Pass to decide according to the situation;
We didn't carry the high-quality equipment of the Bear Slaughter Army in this battle, and we would definitely suffer heavy casualties in the enemy, and the Bear Slaughter Army was the elite of the elite carefully built by the lord, how could it be consumed in vain? ”
Tai Shi Ci also said eloquently;
But all in all, Tai Shici and Wei Yan, as the deputy generals of the Bear Slaughter Army this time, only have the right to make suggestions, and as for the decision-making power, it is on the body of the main general Shi Lian, who is behind enemy lines and has no telephone, so he must not ask Liu Wei, so the final decision is between Shi Lian's thoughts;
Shi Jian thought about it for a long time, and finally said very briefly:
"Just do what General Wei wants"
"But, General Shi...
Tai Shi Ci wanted to say something, but Shi Jian interrupted Tai Shi Ci's speech and said:
"That's it"
You must know that Shi Jian and Wei Yan's personalities are very similar in some aspects, they are both adventurous and dare to take risks, even if there is only a low success rate, he is willing to give up his life to try;
At the beginning of the 'Battle of the Intestine Valley', Shi Jian rushed up with his troops without anyone's consent, but Shi Lian won the bet last time, and compared with the last time, the nature of this gambling was not as dangerous as last time, so Shi Lian was more willing to give it a try, and in terms of risk, he even liked this challenge more than Wei Yan.
Early the next morning, the bear slaughter army rested, and more than 4,000 bear slaughter troops dared to go to 'Qi Township', the only way for Dong Zhuo's army to withdraw from Chang'an, which was also a very famous battle in the history of the Later Han Dynasty in the future, "The Battle of Qi Township".

Thank you in advance from the Mint;
A little story "And Stone and White Stone" is attached to you today
Once upon a time, at a time when non-payment of debts was enough to jail everyone, a merchant in London owed a large sum of money to a loan shark. The old and ugly creditor took a fancy to the merchant's young and beautiful daughter, so he asked the merchant to use her to pay off the debt.
The merchant and his daughter were horrified when they heard this offer, and the cunning and hypocritical usurer pretended to be merciful and advised that the matter should be left to heaven's arrangement. He said that he would put a black stone and a white stone in the empty purse, and then let the merchant's daughter reach out and find out one of them, and if she chose the black stone, she would be his wife, and the merchant's debt would not have to be paid; If she chooses Baishizi, not only will she be able to return to her father, but her debts will also be written off; But if she refuses to try, her father will be imprisoned.
Although reluctantly, the merchant's daughter agreed to give it a try. They were on a gravel-paved path in the garden, and after the agreement, the usury creditor bent down to pick up two pebbles and put them in his pocket. The perceptive girl suddenly noticed: the two pebbles were all black!
What would you do if you were that unfortunate teenage girl?
The girl in the story didn't say a word, calmly reached into the bag, as if carelessly, looked away, and felt a stone. Suddenly, as soon as the hand was released, the stone rolled down into the pile of stones on the road, and it was impossible to tell which one it was.
"Oh! Look at my clumsiness," exclaimed the girl, "but it doesn't matter, now just look at the color of the stone left in the bag, and you can know whether the one I just chose is black or white." ”
Of course, the remaining stones in the bag must be black, and since the evil creditor can't admit his deceit, he has no choice but to admit that she chose the white stones.
A debt turmoil with a thrilling ending. This is not something that can be dealt with by a "solution-oriented" mode of thinking, because the horizontal way of thinking does not focus on the selected stones, but from another point of view, "What color is the stone left in the bag?", and finally turns the worst crisis into the most favorable situation. Breaking out of conventional thinking, we will easily break out of the Hobson selection effect.
There is an important adage in management: "When it seems like there is only one path to take, that path is often wrong." "There is no doubt that there is only one option, and without it, the decision is meaningless.
In "Hobson's Choice", people think they have a choice, but in reality there is very little room for thinking and choice. With this kind of self-rigidity of thinking, of course, there will be no innovation, so it is more of a trap for people to become self-absorbed in the process of making the only choice and lose the opportunity and motivation to innovate. )
