Chapter 36: The Big Problem? Divide and dissolve!
"Mengde! Mengde! Something happened! After Xu You found out that something was wrong, he immediately went straight to Cao Cao's military tent.
"Ziyuan, what happened?" Cao Cao looked at Xu You in surprise. Just now Cao Cao was discussing the matter of military rations with Lu Rui, and Xu You hurriedly ran in.
"Mengde, there is a conspiracy!"
"Conspiracy?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Ziyuan, don't worry, sit down and speak slowly." β
"Mengde, why did you leave so many prisoners in the first place, this is a conspiracy!"
"What Ziyuan said is reasonable, just now I discussed the matter of military rations with Bufan here, and I also found some inappropriateness, is there any suspicion of using these 70,000 prisoners to consume our army's military rations?" According to Cao Cao and LΓΌ Rui's speculation, Yuan Shao may have wanted to use 70,000 prisoners as a delaying tactic to delay Cao Cao's Northern Expedition.
"Mengde, the danger is not only here!" Xu Yu anxiously explained to Cao Cao.
"What does Ziyuan mean?"
"Meng De, I'm afraid this 70,000 Yuan army can't stay!"
"What does Uncle mean?" Lu Rui suddenly thought of the fact that Cao Jun killed Yuan Jun in history, this history, Lu Rui has always had doubts, pit and kill the enemy army, this is a common thing in the history of war, but why Cao Cao wanted to kill Yuan Jun is a mystery!
"No, yesterday you asked your uncle about the strangeness of capturing the barracks, do you remember what your uncle said to you?"
"Uncle said that there is resentment in the captive army!"
"Not bad! Today, my uncle went to the prisoner camp, and his resentment has strengthened, and the captives are still unwilling, and this anger has gradually formed a momentum! I'm afraid that if we don't control it, then our army will be in danger! β
Momentum! It is a collection of qi that is exuded by a group. The so-called military situation. It is the soldiers who emanate it. The momentum of the desire to defeat the enemy. Generally, this kind of military situation will be affected by the situation of the war. The more an army fights, the more qi it desires to defeat the enemy, and the more victories an army has, the more qi the sergeants have to desire to fight.
Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion. It is a portrayal of the change in military situation, which changes over time. The army is weak and strong. Many famous generals are good at using military strength to attack opponents, but some generals will do the opposite, using decay to evolve into military strength and defeat the enemy!
The most famous battle is Han Shin's last battle! It can be called a classic, and later generations sent a word to Han Xin, mourning soldiers will win! A sergeant will stimulate his potential in the face of victory, and at the same time he will stimulate his potential in the face of despair, this is the anti-use of military strength! Now some people are taking advantage of Yuan Jun's resentment and dissatisfaction to create an army momentum!
"Potential?" When Cao Cao heard this, he stayed there like a wooden chicken. Cao Cao was the one who wrote commentaries on the ancient art of war, and he was well versed in the ways of warfare between the two armies. It's terrible that someone actually used captives to create an army!
"Military!" Lu Rui was also stunned, it turned out that this was the biggest reason why Cao Jun slaughtered Yuan Jun, if this group of Yuan Jun was alive, I am afraid that if they resisted, Cao Jun would lose a lot. Now is the era of cold weapons, there is no machine gun that can be slaughtered at any time, it is unarmed, and Yuan Shao's sergeant is not necessarily the opponent of Cao Jun with weapons. The kind of slave of Spartak can kill the beast and then start an uprising, and the Hebei sergeant must not be underestimated!
"Ziyuan means to take advantage of the strength of his army and kill all the prisoners?" Cao Cao made a killing gesture!
"Middle Father, no!"
"If the Yuan army is slaughtered, I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will not be good!" If the soldiers of the Yuan army were slaughtered, the remaining soldiers of the Yuan army in Hebei would definitely fight hard, and Cao Cao had pacified Hebei for a long time in history, I am afraid that this is also the reason.
"Extraordinary, my uncle also knows that it is powerful, Bai Qi slaughtered 200,000 Zhao troops back then, which delayed the unification of the Qin State for twenty years, but this is also a helpless solution!" Xu You immediately stood up, Xu You is not a stupid person, but if he doesn't deal with it in time now, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles.
"I was left with a problem!" Cao Cao shook his head, this is really a dilemma, how to deal with it will have consequences?
"Extraordinary, recruit filial piety, Ziyang, Gongda come!"
"No!"
Then Guo Jia, Liu Ye, and Xun You all came. Cao Cao explained the situation to everyone.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
"Please forgive the lord, I'm afraid it's just a way to slaughter!" Guo Jia arched his hand and suggested to Cao Cao that if he chose one of the two, he would definitely not be able to raise a tiger.
"Ziyang? Gongda? Cao Cao glanced at the two of them.
"Lord Mingjian, if you choose to raise tigers, I'm afraid that our army won't be able to control it at that time!" Liu Ye arched his hand and replied, if this group of captives suddenly resisted when Yuan Shao went south, then Cao's army might really be defeated!
"Everyone, have you ever wondered if anyone is plotting behind it?" Cao Cao was still reluctant to slaughter 70,000 soldiers in his heart, how good it was for these 70,000 people to fight foreigners, why kill them?
"My lord, Fu Zhu must be the mastermind behind it, but if we don't slaughter the captives and kill Fu Zhu, the captives will definitely resist. If you kill the frustrated, the captives must be killed!
"This?" Cao Cao was stunned, but it was a master who put him in an invincible position, no matter whether he was frustrated or killed, Cao Jun would suffer!
"Middle Father? Can we divide them up? Lu Rui suddenly had a solution.
"Divide and dissolve? What is extraordinary and what does it mean? β
"Father Zhong, it is common for brothers in ordinary people's families to fight, and it is common for them to draw swords and confront each other. And the root is in profit! If our army can give benefits to the prisoners, will it be able to divide the prisoners? Even if Bohai is loyal to Yuan Shao, can't they all die for Yuan Shao? What's more, the 70,000-strong army only has 5,000 Bohai soldiers! "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. The political game is very clever, especially able to divide people, Lu Rui doesn't believe it, Yuan Jun is a monolith!
"Ziyuan, what do you mean?"
"Bufan's words are true, but how to divide the enemy army? Is there a good way to do it? β
"Uncle Ziyuan, if you have a wife at home, will you be homesick? Did the soldiers of the Yuan army all have small families? Lu Rui showed a lewd smile and looked at Xu You. Family! Use your family to fight against the frustrated army.
The frustrated military situation is actually a kind of negative energy military situation, using desperation to stimulate potential. But if there is a good life, a good choice, and no sense of crisis, someone will come to a dead end? I don't believe it if I kill Lu Rui!
"Extraordinary means to overcome rigidity with softness?" Xu You immediately thought of Lu Rui's plan, which was a good idea.
"Not bad!"
"What does it mean to let the soldiers of the Yuan army marry the women of the husbandless family in Yanzhou to stabilize the hearts of the army?"
"Exactly!"
"But it's extraordinary, if the soldiers of Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran also have such a request, I'm afraid that under the rule of the lord, there will be not enough women?" Guo Jia raised a realistic question, there are not so many single women in Yanzhou, and there are not so many widows! Although Guo Jia is in charge of the intelligence department, he still has an understanding of civil affairs.
"Master, has you forgotten the Han Palace?" Lu Rui arched his hand and looked at Guo Jia with a smile.
"The Great Han Palace?" Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they all showed expressions of understanding, especially Cao Cao, who also showed a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Extraordinary words are reasonable, I don't know what you think?" Cao Cao looked at everyone and smiled.
"Extraordinary words are reasonable, and the lord is wise!" Everyone was taken aback by Cao Cao's smile, this smile has a different meaning, it hides a killing intention!
"Mengde, it seems that you can still accept the heart of the world! Cao Shenming is indeed the one who came from heaven to benefit the people! "Xu You, a dog friend, has started to pat himself again, and Lao Cao is very happy!
"Ziyuan laughed!" Cao Cao laughed, without the slightest hint of modesty.
"Lord, my subordinates think that in addition to extraordinary strategies, we can also use other methods!" Guo Jia arched his hand and suggested to Cao Cao.
"Bonghyo come quickly!"
"Lord, we can."
"Feng Xiao is really a clever plan! Just according to the strategy of extraordinary and filial piety! Let's go and prepare! β
"No!"
"Stand down!" Cao Cao waved his hand to signal that everyone could go down.
Exiting the military tent, Guo Jia glanced at Lu Rui and said: "Extraordinary, extraordinary, this plan is even the heart of the lord, but, extraordinary, I'm afraid Wen Ruo will have complaints against you!" β
"The master laughed, the extraordinary is just conforming to the trend of the sky!" Lu Rui's strategy of using palace maids to break frustration and give military strength has a deeper meaning: palace maids are generally the emperor's private property, what does Cao Cao use to illustrate? With Cao Daihan's stepping stone, you can test many people!
Guo Jia smiled and left.
"I don't see you this year, my strategy is gradually rising, my uncle admires it!"
"Uncle's strategy is what makes my nephew admire!" Grandma's, no one can compare to you Xu You, who actually compares Cao Cao with God, Son of Heaven? Son of Heaven, God is Heaven! Shoot Lao Cao's sycophants!!!! (To be continued......)
