Chapter 296 Great Wisdom, Funny Behavior, Showing Wisdom
Chapter 296: Great wisdom but foolishness, funny behavior, showing wisdom
"Done!"
Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian had already drank a whole jar of wine, and it seemed that You Zi was still unsatisfied...
After drinking too much, Cao Cao seemed to become chatty and chattered endlessly. He kept telling Yi Xiaotian about the dangers of this battle and the interesting stories in this battle.
For example: Jushou...
"Brother Yi, you don't know that there is a very interesting person."
Cao Cao had just finished a bowl of wine, and now he continued to talk while pouring the wine. "It's Yuan Shao's former military advisor who Brother Yi admires and values very much—Jushou..."
"Jushou?" Yi Xiaotian was slightly startled. "He was also captured?"
"Yes..." Cao Cao smiled and nodded. "This Ju is a civil servant. He can run so fast. He was captured by General Xu Chu in three strokes."
Although Cao Cao drank a lot tonight.
However, Cao Cao seemed to be quite sober, and he is a happy person... The amount of alcohol can often more than double, he continued with a smile. "When Xu Chu caught Ju Shou, it was rare... Ju Shou didn't struggle or resist, guess what?
what are you doing?"
"What?" Yi Xiaotian asked curiously.
"He was actually yelling, saying something - I was captured, I was caught, I didn't surrender, I didn't surrender... His throat was almost broken!"
Because in his excitement, Cao Cao actually imitated Ju Shou's behavior, which was completely funny.
In the end, Cao Cao shook his head.
"Brother Yi, it seems... this Jushou is not as wise as you said! Otherwise, why is he shouting these things? Could it be that Cao Jun heard that he was captured and treated the prisoners preferentially? Can't he take special care of him? Hahaha... This is not the case
That’s funny!”
Cao Cao burst out laughing again...it seemed that because what he was talking about was so exciting, he was planning to drink to calm down.
Unexpectedly, Yi Xiaotian stretched out his hand to stop Cao Cao...
"Brother, don't be too busy drinking... Do you know? Why is this Jushou yelling? He even broke his throat and shouted that he was captured? There is an ulterior motive in this!"
Hmm...Cao Cao was startled. He put down the wine bowl, showing a hint of curiosity, and moved his head closer to Yi Xiaotian. "Brother Yi, tell me!"
"Haha, this is not easy."
Yi Xiaotian raised his hand. "'I was captured, I did not surrender.' This may seem like nonsense, but in fact... he did not shout this for the soldiers of the Cao Army, but for the soldiers of the Yuan Army who wanted to flee.
Can you pass this message to Yuan Shao!"
this?
Cao Cao still didn't think about it. "Why is this? Yuan Shao has been defeated, can he still come to save him?"
"This is not a question of whether to save or not."
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "It's because Jushou still has family members in Jizhou. In addition, Yuan Shao is suspicious by nature and has such a small temper. Moreover, he is not good to Jusuke. What if Yuan Shao misunderstands that Jushou surrendered to Cao Cao... Then, how can he
It’s not that he wants to kill his family to vent his anger. For a narrow-minded person, he can really do such a thing."
Huh... no wonder Jushou screamed to break his throat to show that he was captured and did not surrender. That's it...
After being reminded like this by Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao's view of Ju Shou took a 180-degree turn. This guy is really smart. No wonder he is highly valued by Brother Yi!
Since Jushou was mentioned...Cao Cao simply asked.
"Brother Yi, since you are so optimistic about this Jushou, I think he has some real talents and learning... tell me? What if Cao Cao had given him enough face and rewards, personally untied him, and promised him a high official and a generous salary?
, what do you think...will Jushou surrender to Cao Cao?"
Cao Cao loves talents...
After he was sure that Jushu was a talented person, all he was thinking about was how he could use it for himself.
According to his idea, to accept Jushou, all he had to do was behave similarly to how he treated Xu You, greeting guests with bare feet, etc. That would be enough to deceive him.
Unexpectedly, facing Cao Cao's silly and naive idea, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand directly.
"Brother Hiding, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian shook his head, and then he searched for the story about Jushu in his memory.
Speaking of which, this Jushou is not only wise, but also a true man of unparalleled filial piety and loyalty. He is also a very strong-willed person.
The fact that he almost shouted at the top of his lungs to prevent his family from being implicated speaks volumes.
According to historical records, he directly rejected Cao Cao's offer to surrender for the very reason that his uncle and younger brother were still in Yuan Shao's hands. If he surrendered, Yuan Shao would definitely kill them!
Simply incomparable filial piety...
If we follow the development of history, Cao Cao will also give him a lot of face, treat him well, and wait for the day when he changes his mind.
It's a pity that this iron-blooded true man... is just like Guan Yu. He was in Cao's camp but his heart was in Yuan. He kept looking for opportunities to escape several times. In the end, Cao Cao lost patience and had no choice but to kill Jushou and lose his loyalty!
Looking at Jushou's life, it is simply a tragedy, a tragedy caused by "foolish loyalty".
Following Yuan Shao, even though he has great talents, he is often not used.
The only time Yuan Shao accepted his suggestion, he accidentally achieved the unification of the northern border...
Even so, he only achieved this by racking his brains and learning how to flatter the horse and act like a licker.
However... just after that, the highlight moment that was supposed to come was buried again and again... until finally, it was completely abandoned!
Unfortunately, due to filial piety, I was unable to choose a good bird from a good bird, and my whole life was a perfect illustration of the harm caused by "foolish loyalty".
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian couldn't help but shook his head...
Seeing Yi Xiaotian's appearance, Cao Cao frowned. "Brother Yi, what do you mean? No?"
"I'm in Cao's camp, but my heart is with Yuan!" Yi Xiaotian helplessly spread his hands. "Yuan Shao still controls the lives of his uncle and younger brother. There's no way Jushou will surrender!"
this…
Yi Xiaotian said it very simply, but very concisely... The Han Dynasty ruled the world with "filial piety", and the concept of "filial piety and righteousness" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the hearts of scholars. This alone was enough to block Ju Shou's way of surrendering to Cao Cao.
Sigh... Cao Cao sighed helplessly, why, the more outstanding talents are, the harder it is for me to use them... Guan Yu is like this, Ju Shou is like this, thinking about this, Cao Cao feels a little downcast.
etc…
Cao Cao seemed to suddenly think of something.
Jushou is an introduction. From here to there, does he still have 400,000 Yuan troops who surrendered?
Everyone in this group of people has family members, young and old... Aren’t their families still in Jizhou, and aren’t they still in Yuan Shao’s hands?
this…
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned as white as paper. This matter was too big.
Now, they have just surrendered and have not considered this yet, but as time goes by, and with the calls of their families...can these 400,000 Yuan troops serve Cao Cao with peace of mind?
Damn... there is a risk of mutiny if everything is not saved in the end!
Hiss... all of a sudden, Cao Cao became nervous. 400,000 surrendered, 400,000 were eager to return home, and Yuan's army, with all their families and children in the north... They were a powerful force, but at the same time... they were also a big trouble!
