Cao Cao's brows did not stretch because of Xi Zhicai's construction, this is easy to say, but it is not the same thing to do, it is hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and it is not easy to find out one by one. (Please search, or type directly to see the latest chapter) not to mention compensating them. As the saying goes, it's hard to reconcile all mouths, but who knows if any of these soldiers have a lion with a big mouth? Even if these people are very talkative, it is estimated that one person is indispensable for a hundred taels of silver, right? This adds up to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. As long as the situation is slightly worse, this number can be multiplied several times.
But as Xi Zhicai said, this is just a solution that is not a solution, and in addition, he also can't come up with a better solution.
At this time, Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, in fact, we don't have to spend a lot of money to find every returning soldier, as long as we find most of them." As long as they change their tunes, we can openly say that the rest of the people have benefited from Baiyun City and deliberately come to Yanzhou to sow discord. In this way, we can kill some of them in a righteous and bright way, so as to have the effect of killing a hundred people. ”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, the operation is good, not only can solve this crisis, but also hit Baiyun City upside down. Cao Cao immediately said: "This matter should not be delayed, if it is not properly handled after dawn, I am afraid that the news will spread faster." Zhicai, you immediately let people handle this matter, first send people to guard the officials of the counties, send cronies to supervise them to clean up their respective jurisdictional areas, once there are soldiers returning from the endless sea, immediately communicate with them, as long as you are willing to change your words, even if you pay some extra money, it is nothing. What we lost today, one day I will get it back from the sunshine. ”
Obviously, Cao Cao was very confident in this strategy after hearing Xi Zhicai's story.
Xi Zhicai opened his mouth, but he didn't continue to say anything, it's rare that Cao Cao's mood is better now. He didn't want to hit the other party again, and now he had to do his best to do a good job and let the lord get through this crisis.
After Xi Zhicai left, he immediately dispatched the most elite troops in Yanzhou, scattered and teleported them to all parts of Yanzhou, and controlled the county governments and county yamen in various places, and then the city guards in various places were also called up from the warm bed. Began to conduct house-to-house searches in towns and cities, even in the surrounding villages and towns.
Since it was night, their actions did not receive much attention, and as long as the matter was finally suppressed, no one would pursue this perfect matter.
However, the process was not very smooth, and after nearly two hours of searching. The situation from all over the country is not optimistic, they have been busy for so long, and the number of soldiers they have found is less than 5,000, which is a huge gap from the hundreds of thousands of people they have learned.
What made Xi Zhicai a little satisfied was that most of these people who were found had any resistance to the demands made by the government personnel, and after Chen Nuo gave him some money, they all agreed to help Cao Cao speak in turn. In fact, this is also a helpless move. These people are just cannon fodder soldiers, and it is impossible to make them have the spirit of treating death as home. Since they were caught, they naturally did not dare not agree to the government's request. What's more, it's good to be able to get some benefits from it now.
Xi Zhicai always felt that there was something strange in this matter, so he asked people to bring a few former and current soldiers to ask, and under this question, his face changed instantly.
Originally. On the other side of the teleportation array, it was indeed the city of Baiyun City, and after they teleported to the opposite side, they were only captured alive or injured, and the injured were quickly treated. Later, a scribe came and gathered the uninjured of them and told them why they had been sent to attack the Demon Feather City. Then the scribe was very kind and said that he could let them return to Yanzhou, and gave them two taels of gold each. One or two of them were naturally the cost of teleporting back to Yanzhou, and the other two taels of gold were for those who were willing to settle in Baiyun City to come back smoothly.
After the captured soldiers had heard the scribe's words. Immediately grateful, some of the soldiers who were already alone immediately expressed their desire to settle in the territory of Baiyun City, and the other part wanted to go back to report their safety because they still had other relatives at home. However, they also hope to be able to take their families to settle in the territory of Baiyun City.
The scribe did not immediately accede to the captive soldiers' requests. Instead, he said that he didn't have enough authority to mobilize more money for them to teleport, but he gave them an idea. After letting them return to Yanzhou first to report their safety to their families, they will first return to Baiyun City alone, and then collectively petition the lord, and with the mercy of the lord, he will definitely agree to their request.
The captives did not hesitate and immediately agreed. In fact, they didn't have a choice, because they were just a prisoner now, and Baiyun City was able to treat them so kindly, which already made them grateful.
What a clever strategy! It's like killing people invisibly! Xi Zhicai's heart was full of bitterness.
When these soldiers were just arrested, they must have been desperate, especially after knowing that Cao Cao was sending them to death, the hatred for Cao Cao in their hearts can be imagined. Later, the other party was not ready to kill them or use them as slaves, but gave them the best treatment, and their gratitude in their hearts can be imagined.
There was no need for any hints from the Baiyun City side, after these soldiers returned to Yanzhou, they would definitely tell their relatives about what happened to them. And there is no guarantee that no one among these people will mention the news to other relatives, after all, not all of them will have a sense of confidentiality. In this way, a news that was very unfavorable to Cao Cao spread completely.
Now, a large part of those soldiers have teleported away from Yanzhou, and since their place of residence is still Yanzhou, the teleportation array can still be used normally. Now these soldiers who have been found by the Yanzhou government have just not had time to leave.
At this time, the situation is even more complicated, originally they planned to let these soldiers change their words in person, but now they can no longer find those soldiers, do they let them persuade the relatives of those soldiers? That's too difficult. Not to mention the surge in numbers, just because one of their relatives had already gone to the territory of Baiyun City, and they themselves were about to teleport over, it had already complicated this matter incomparably.
Now there are only two ways in front of Xi Zhicai, one is to directly suppress the relatives of those soldiers who are still in the territory, and the other is to let these people leave Yanzhou. No matter which way it is, Xi Zhicai feels that it is extremely difficult to walk.
Xi Zhicai asked to see the lord Cao Cao again and explained the situation to him.
After Cao Cao heard this, he overturned the table next to him in a fit of rage, and said murderously: "Kill all those chaotic parties for me!" ”
Xi Zhicai didn't act immediately, but said: "Lord, it's not difficult to kill those people, but my subordinates are worried that Baiyun City's side has an eyeliner to arrange for us in Yanzhou, and once we make a move, they will definitely spread rumors among the people." It's going to be very bad for us. ”
Cao Cao's anger in his heart was still unsettled, but he finally calmed down a little and said, "What about your opinion, Yi Zhicai?" ”
Xi Zhicai said: "In the opinion of my subordinates, these tens of thousands of soldiers who have been found by us can stay, let them retract their previous words, and say that they were smeared to Yanzhou because of the coercion and temptation of Baiyun City." At the same time, for the families of those soldiers who have fled, the subordinates will let them leave, which can also show the magnanimity of the lord. Moreover, it is estimated that the subordinates are hoping that Sunshine can kill all those people, as long as we don't reduce the teleportation fee, everyone who teleports to Baiyun City will need a tael of gold. The relatives of those soldiers add up to one or two million, and it is estimated that the sun will not be easy to spend one or two million in gold just to get back these people with qualifications. ”
Cao Cao sighed secretly in his heart, this may be the best way at the moment! Although this method cannot eliminate the effect, and even those who remain in Yanzhou for the time being will continue to secretly promote Cao Cao's cruelty, at least it will not be worse than killing those people, and it can also make the sun sick a little.
……
Early the next morning, Cao's army beat the drum of march outside Mashi City, and in front of the formation, hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in one place, and the atmosphere of slaughter permeated the entire battlefield. In front of this army, there are more than a dozen generals at all levels, and the middle three are naturally Xiahou Yuan, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang.
Yang Tian stood on the city wall, taking in this scene, although he didn't know the identities of the more than ten generals, but from the position where they stood, he could see that the identities of these people were simple. Take Li Dian as an example, this dignified first-class military general is about to stand at the bottom, doesn't this mean that the status of those people is higher than Li Dian?
"Brother Prodigal Son, have you prepared enough rocks and rolling logs today?" Yang Tian couldn't help but ask.
The prodigal son of the wind and waves did not have Yang Tian's eyesight, and he couldn't see the faces of the people opposite, and after hearing Yang Tian's words, he was slightly stunned and said, "Very sufficient?" We didn't use it much yesterday, but we just let it go once when Li Dian was charging, and when Lu Bu went out to fight, we knew that even if we put down the rocks, we couldn't stop that guy at all, so we didn't let it go. ”
Yang Tian was able to understand the Wind Wanderer's approach, Lu Bu's red rabbit horse was too against the sky, and it was impossible for things like a stone to form an effective blocking effect on it. It's just that today, I'm afraid that the wanderer can't save if he wants to.
Suddenly, the Wind Wanderer seemed to understand something, and immediately asked Yang Tian, "Brother Sunshine, are you saying that there are a large number of masters in the Cao Army?" ”
Yang Tian nodded and said, "I can't say that there are a lot of them, there are almost a dozen, and each one should be no worse than Li Dian." Now that they've all stepped forward, what the other party wants to do, I'm sure you can guess it, right? ”
