Chapter 182: The Means of a Famous General
"Commander, it is not appropriate to continue to suppress the soldiers at this moment, but it is better to stabilize their emotions in a moderating way first, and then slowly try to figure it out." Seeing this, Jiang Ren immediately came forward to admonish.
"But the question is, how do we calm and stabilize their emotions?" Huangfu Song is also a general, how could he not understand this truth, but the other party's incitement methods are too clever, so that it seems that no matter what he comes up with, he can't really appease the soldiers.
"Our cavalry prefers the sons of good families to fill the position, and the reaction to incitement is not strong, so we can send them into battle first to disperse the enemy army. Then, catch a few Yellow Turban thieves and come back, and have a good 'word and deed', so that the soldiers can understand that each other's words are just to incite our army's empty words, or can the morale of the soldiers be a little better? Jiang Ren stroked his beard on his chin and said proudly.
"The military advisor is smart!" Huangfu Song is not a fool either, and soon knew the key.
Not long after, sure enough, the door of Dongying opened, and a cavalry unit suddenly came out, directly killing the three thousand Yellow Turban Army. And according to Fang Yun's orders, these Yellow Turban soldiers saw the camp door open, and they didn't care whether the enemy was killed or not, they turned around and left, but as for those musical instruments, they were directly thrown aside, completely ignoring them.
"Kill the thief!" Cavalry captain Zhang Hui roared, and the horse was killed.
This is a great opportunity for the cavalry unit to save face, the failure of the previous rapid attack force has made him lose face, and he has been laughed at by his colleagues more than once or twice in the past two days, which makes him hate the Yellow Turban Thief to the core.
It's just that there is a certain distance between the two sides, and when the cavalry began to rush to the position where the Yellow Turban Army was before, these Yellow Turban soldiers had already disappeared into the jungle. It is not easy to pursue in the woods, especially the cavalry.
Zhang Hui didn't care, he went out to fight this time with other purposes, not just to disperse these yellow turban thieves, so he continued to walk towards the woods.
But not long after he stepped into the jungle, a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers jumped up on the ground not far away, and each Yellow Turban Army held a strong crossbow in his hand, and after simply aiming, he shot directly towards him.
It wasn't until his subordinates were hit by a large number of arrows and his left abdomen was also hit for a moment that Zhang Hui saw that these yellow turban thieves were actually covered with thick leaves and weeds, obviously waiting here with the help of this disguise before.
"Kill!" At the same time, farther away, a large number of shouts of killing were heard, and more Yellow Turban soldiers emerged from the jungle and began to charge.
Zhang Hui's cavalry troops could not run fast in the jungle at all, and the cavalry units that had lost their speed advantage were even weaker than the infantry. Seeing that the enemy was about to arrive, Zhang Hui waved his hand and quickly retreated with his headquarters. It's just that even so, more than 500 cavalrymen were left behind. To say that he has no grievances in his heart at all, it is absolutely impossible.
However, at least the things that Huangfu Song explained have been completed!
As the cavalry returned to the camp, a man covered in blood and with a yellow scarf on his head was brought out. Because his face was stained with blood, he couldn't see his face at all, but the coarse linen clothes on his body and the yellow scarf on his head undoubtedly told others that he was a yellow turban sergeant.
"Listen to me, don't believe the incitement of the Yellow Turban Thieves, they are just a bunch of unscrupulous garbage, a bunch of pests that disturb the big man. What they said before was just to use a piece of beautiful pie to make you lose your heart. Right and wrong, now I have captured a Yellow Turban sergeant for you, see what he has to say! "Huangfu Song ascended the high platform and sent someone to escort the 'Yellow Turban Army' up.
Because he himself was injured, Huangfu Song arranged for a loud soldier to help spread the word. Then, one after another, in the mouth of this 'Yellow Turban Army', I heard how the Yellow Turban Army did all kinds of evil, how it burned, killed, and plundered, how it exterminated people, and how it deceived them.
In the end, Huangfu Song felt that this was too contrived...... The soldiers themselves are illiterate, and the herd mentality is also an important factor, so they didn't doubt the words of this 'Yellow Turban Army', but felt that they had fallen for them before, and they suddenly became annoyed.
What rebellion, what non-resistance, it turns out that TMD is cheating. The landlords and gentry had already stripped them of their last property and had no choice but to join the army to fight for a better future, but these yellow turban thieves insisted on tearing their wounds open. That's not all, they still plan to use them as cannon fodder, and in the end they win, and they die, and they have to be used as the object of ridicule.
This feeling of being fooled, especially the feeling of being built on the previous ruin, rebounds the most.
"Sons, you are the soldiers of the Han, you are the pride of the Han! Don't believe the lies of those Yellow Turban thieves, they can't give you a future, only the Great Han, believe in the Han Dynasty, only it can give you a stable future. My Emperor Fu Song can even guarantee here that the great Han will not forget you for your blood and sweat. Even if you die on the battlefield one day, even if your family does not support the court, my Emperor Fu Song will bear it with all his might! Huangfu Song took the opportunity to shout impassionedly.
"Long live the boss, long live the court, long live the Han!!" Soon, the nurses, who were mixed in with the army, immediately began to chant.
More nurseries, as well as those officers, began to chant along, which made the soldiers also believe what Huangfu Song said, and shouted excitedly, the originally depressed mood began to recover, and the complicated feelings for the Yellow Turban Army turned into pure hatred.
Come to think of it, if they meet on the battlefield, I'm afraid it will already be a never-ending situation. And this result is exactly what Huangfu Song is willing to see. A group of soldiers who can fight to the death, what other enemy can defeat them?
The instigation of the Yellow Turban Army is actually not without benefits, at least it has cultivated a group of dead soldiers for themselves!
As for the soldier, the next day he said that he had been executed, and that his body had been hung outside the camp for three days. As for whether this corpse is the soldier or not, in fact, no one knows...... Besides, it doesn't matter anymore.
On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army is inside the main camp.
"Haha, this Huangfu Song really deserves to be a famous general of the Han Army, but I didn't expect us to be put on the table. Strategist, it seems that there are still loopholes in your plan! Fang Yun laughed, but he was quite unimpressed by what happened in the enemy camp.
"What is fake is fake after all, and the day the lie is exposed, the backlash will only be greater. But I can't help but admit that Huangfu Song can quickly stabilize the morale of the army, but he is indeed quite capable. Xi Zhicai also smiled slightly, and did not dwell on his failure.
In the final analysis, if it was really that easy to fight against the Central Army, the veteran general of the Han army, the Han would have been overthrown long ago. The probability of such a failure accounts for 50%, and there is nothing to regret in itself.
The important thing is that through incitement, the seeds have been planted in the hearts of the Han army, and the remaining key is to find a way to break through the rock pressed on the Huangfu Song, so that it can take root and grow smoothly...... (To be continued.) )
