Chapter 297 The unreachable is always in turmoil, and the favored has no fear
Chapter 297: Those who cannot get it are always in commotion, and those who are favored are confident
"Brother Yi..."
Cao Cao became nervous. "I suddenly thought of a question, a big question related to the situation..."
Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Yi Xiaotian suddenly felt a chill...
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire inn became a little cold, and Yi Xiaotian even shivered all over.
"Brother Hiding...what's the problem?"
Yi Xiaotian asked in a low voice, "Is it necessary to make the atmosphere so ecstatic?"
Yi Xiaotian answered half-jokingly, as if to ease the cold atmosphere.
However, Cao Cao has something big buried in his heart. If this matter is not resolved, the atmosphere will become even more grim...
"Brother Yi... just mentioned Jushou and his family, but..."
Halfway through his words, Cao Cao's tone became more choked up, and his words seemed to be stumbling a bit. "But...but, there are 400,000 'Jushu' in Cao's camp today!"
The 400,000 "Jushou" mentioned by Cao Cao are not really Jushou, but soldiers similar to Jushou. They all have families, and their families are all in the north.
Cao Cao did not make his words obvious. According to his judgment, Brother Yi was a smart man and could probably understand it.
this…
Sure enough, Yi Xiaotian put his chin in his hands and seemed to be deep in thought.
In the Battle of Guandu in history, Cao Cao was the winner even without Yi Xiaotian's help. Although he lost more troops and captured fewer soldiers, this still cannot hide the fact that - how to deal with it?
The problem of surrendering troops.
This is completely different from the handling of the surrender of 300,000 Yellow Turban troops during the Yanzhou period.
You know, the Yellow Turban Army at that time came with their families and children, and Cao Cao could help their families reclaim wasteland, thereby stabilizing the loyalty of the soldiers!
But this time... Where are the children among the hundreds of thousands of Yuan soldiers? They rushed over with one head on their shoulders... The children are all in Hebei!
Not guaranteed...
Yuan Shao made a decision and directly ordered their families to summon them back. The final result would probably be a mutiny in Cao's camp.
It seems...according to the development of history, this group of surrendered soldiers will really mutiny.
Then...a large number of Yuan's troops fled back to the north, which almost made Yuan Shao gasp for breath and made Cao Cao feel terrified and panicked.
The difference between strength and weakness really lies in a single decision, and Cao Cao's response in history was also very simple - just cheat him!
According to ancient records, Cao Cao killed more than 200,000 soldiers in the Battle of Guandu!
However, it seems, there seems to be a better solution than trapping and killing Yuan Jun.
Yi Xiaotian thought about something else.
According to Yuan Shao's suspicious character, if he tried his best to force the troops to surrender and return to the camp, then naturally there would not be too much suspicion, but what if he did the opposite?
Before Yuan Shao forced the surrendered soldiers to return to the camp, Cao Cao took the initiative to send these surrendered soldiers back...
Then, if you don't protect everything, it is a wise decision to risk your life and survive!
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian blinked his eyes, as if he had found a new way to break the situation.
"Brother Hiding...I suddenly came up with an idea."
Yi Xiaotian immediately spoke... "It's just that this is just a plan, and it's not very complete!"
"Brother Yi, you just say it's okay. If it's not perfect, let's fix it together."
Cao Cao patted his chest. With Yi Xiaotian's words, he immediately became more confident. "I don't believe it. You and I can't complete a plan even if we work together!"
Nowadays, what Cao Cao lacks most is not plans, but ideas!
This is the idea of dealing with the reduction of 400,000 pawns. Once this idea is developed, Cao Cao's clever mind can also be put to great use.
"Brother Hiding, then I will tell you."
Yi Xiaotian sighed, and then blurted out. "When it comes to dealing with the 400,000 surrendered troops, the first thing we have to deal with is Yuan Shao's character..."
"Brother Yi, are you saying that Yuan Shao is scheming without reason? Or are you saying that he is cautious and suspicious?" Cao Cao asked back.
"Both are there!" Yi Xiaotian spread his hands. "Whether it's scheming or unreasonable, or cautious and suspicious, to put it bluntly, isn't it just that you like to think nonsense? In fact... in our village, in the late stage of this kind of character... there is a very special one
The saying is called…”
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian also made a point of selling it off.
Cao Cao frowned and suddenly became curious. "What's your name?" Actually...Cao Cao was more curious, Brother Yi, which village are you from? This village is really talented...
Looking at Cao Cao's curious look, Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "It's called 'persecution paranoia'. To put it simply, no matter what happens, he always thinks that someone is going to persecute him."
Huo, persecution paranoia.
Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he himself also had this symptom, but... he was at the early stage, and Yuan Shao was afraid that he was in the advanced stage of his illness...
"Brother Yi, is there any connection between... Yuan Shao's 'paranoia of persecution' and... the issue of the ownership of the 400,000 surrendered troops?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"This connection is huge."
Yi Xiaotian nodded meaningfully, his tone became a little heavier, and his tone became more meticulous.
"Brother, for example, let's take Cao Cao as an example. Didn't Cao Cao want to recruit Jushu? What if...he went through a lot of hard work, one big banquet in three days, and a small banquet in five days. He raised gold when he mounted his horse, and silver when he dismounted.
, high-ranking officials, generous salaries, beauties and treasures, all these bargaining chips were used, and in the end, Jushou even knelt down and begged him to surrender... Under such circumstances, Jushou accepted his surrender. How would you feel if it was Cao Cao who concealed his brother?
?”
Uh...this...
Cao Cao felt that Brother Yi seemed to be talking about him a little bit.
Guan Yu's lesson is right in front of him.
A big banquet in three days, a small banquet in five days, gold when you get on the horse, silver when you get off the horse, high officials and generous salaries, beauties and treasures, for today's Cao Cao, unless Brother Yi comes out personally, otherwise Cao Cao will never be able to do it
In such a situation, let alone kneeling down... Except for Brother Yi, no one could make Cao Cao kneel down.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao waved his hand. "Cao Cao wouldn't do that..."
"Is this a hypothesis?" Yi Xiaotian replied. "Brother, please answer my question head-on. It's very important... If you were Cao Cao and went through all the trouble to recruit Jushou into his army, would you not
It will feel as stable as a dog.”
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, and then sighed. "The harder something is to obtain, the more precious it is, and the more secure it is!"
Hearing this, Yi Xiaotian spread his hands. "Let's put it another way, if before Cao Cao spoke, Ju Shou took the initiative to kneel down, kowtowed and recognized his godfather, and had to surrender to Cao Cao, what would Cao Cao feel?
?”
Uh...this...
Although he didn't know Yi Xiaotian's intention, Cao Cao still answered.
"I will despise him, and in the same way, I will not trust him! For surrendering so easily, I will even suspect that he is a spy sent by Yuan Shao deliberately and placed next to me, waiting for opportunities to harm me!"
This sentence just came out...
Phew...Cao Cao seemed to suddenly think of something.
Jushou is like this, and so are the 400,000 surrendered soldiers...
Before Cao Cao could think further, Yi Xiaotian's voice came out one after another.
"There is a saying in our village - those who are not favored will always be in turmoil, those who are favored are confident..."
