Chapter 697: Surrender or Don't Kill
Later generations have a poem that sighs: "The emperor is lonely and poor, and the whole battle is divided into troops to rob the village." There is a sign of fighting for the tooth flag, why did God condone the male? ”
Although this poem is very biased, and it seems a little too pretentious, sour, if you lose, you lose, and you blame God? Say that God is helping to rape males? But I have to say that this time the tooth flag was blown off by the wind, which did play a key role in the whole thing. Of course, there are also factors of Guo Jia and Cao Cao's centrifugation. Otherwise, this time Guo Jia and Cao Cao may really capsize in the gutter, although it may not affect the entire battle situation, but it was calculated by Zhang Fei, which will definitely lose face for a lifetime, and the reputation of a lifetime will be ruined by such an accident! Please, that's Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, hey.
So, that night, Cao's army set up a three-way ambush inside and out, leaving only an empty camp waiting for Zhang Fei to attack.
At the time of the second watch, Zhang Fei also divided his troops into three roads, with only dozens or hundreds of people in the middle, and rushed directly to Cao Yingzhong to rob the village and set it on fire, and the other two roads, one in front and one behind, but Zhang Fei didn't want to let people go.
Then, Cao Ying's fire broke out, and Cao Jun ambushed the soldiers on the first road, seeing this, Zhang Feile was happy, haha, this Liu Dai was really fooled, look at what the eldest brother and second brother said after going back, who would dare to look down on him Zhang Yide in the future, thinking that he is a reckless and brainless person!
At about the third watch, Zhang Fei's two armies were exhausted, and he introduced elite soldiers to cut off the back road of Cao's army first. Soon, Zhang Fei's men and horses surrounded Cao Jun inside. However, what surprised Zhang Fei was that it stands to reason that he suddenly encountered such a change, was calculated and surrounded by people. Cao Jun inside should be so chaotic that he can't do it, like a headless fly. each of them is scattered. But in fact, now Cao Jun inside is panicked and not confused. He quickly adjusted his formation and aimed his spear outside. Moreover, he actually put on a posture of defending the position, instead of panicking and just wanting to break through and escape.
"Cut, it seems that this Liu Dai is still a character!" Zhang Fei snorted secretly, thinking that Liu Dai was a good way to govern the army, but he never thought that the other party had been prepared at all, and who knew that there were still his second or even third ambushes outside. Now no one in this is going to mess up, right?
And with Zhang Fei's character, he finally came up with an idea, and now that it's all like this, can he stop it immediately and go home? Are you kidding! Even if the current situation is a little different from what Zhang Fei expected, Zhang Fei does not think that he has been calculated by the enemy in turn. Even if it was a normal battle, was he Zhang Yide still afraid of others? Not to mention what Liu Dai is, even Cao Cao is here in person, and he Zhang Fei can also take people down directly! Saying. If Cao Cao was really here, it would be much more convenient, then he Zhang Fei would be able to finish his work and solve everything directly!
Thereupon. The arrogant Zhang Fei still launched an attack without hesitation. But soon, he knew about the tragedy.
Cao's army ambushed the troops on the second road. Stick to the inside, outflank the outside. On the contrary, it formed a flanking attack on Zhang Fei.
"Don't panic, don't mess up!" Zhang Fei shouted as he dropped his horse back and forth. It's a pity that at this time, how could the soldiers not be chaotic. Not to mention the sudden attack, it was completely calculated, and no one would not panic. Even in the current situation, it is difficult to respond.
If you are like Cao Jun inside, if you are simply surrounded, then you can still form a circle and defend back to back. But now? Originally, in order to surround Cao's army, Zhang Fei dispersed his troops to a large extent. As a result, Zhang Fei's side is now unable to form any powerful defense line on the spot, and he doesn't even know which side to resist.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei obviously understood that he was completely defeated, and he didn't have time to resent or regret something, Zhang Fei scolded "Damn!" "(Hey) and then I don't care if I can call a few soldiers or not, I just choose to break through. Well, this situation is just like when Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou, there were few people left, and he escaped in embarrassment.
On the other side, Cao Cao and the others saw that Zhang Fei had really cheated and set up an ambush, and they all broke out in a cold sweat. Almost, almost capsized in the gutter! After all, in such a short period of time, there is no time to think too much and prepare something, get the news during the day, and Zhang Fei will call that night, maybe there are a lot of smart people here, but in this case, it is easy to miss something by not being thoughtful.
Fortunately...... Cao Cao couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia, this was definitely not the first time, Cao Cao was glad to have Guo Jia next to him to help him. The feeling this time is actually the same as the original feeling, but how did the two of them get to where they are today?
Cao Cao temporarily put away his thoughts, and immediately ordered people to shout in all directions,
"The prime minister is close, surrender and don't kill!"
"The prime minister is close, surrender and don't kill!"
Cao Cao, just such a name is enough to boost the morale of the own side, enough to scare the enemy's courage! In addition, Zhang Fei's plan was discovered, but he calculated and calculated Zhang Fei, this should not be the ability that Liu Dai can have. Therefore, even if Cao Cao is not seen at all, at this moment, most people believe in eight points.
And don't forget, Liu Bei originally had no soldiers, and he had just captured Xuzhou, and he didn't have time to recruit troops again in a hurry. In other words, now these soldiers, a month ago, were still wearing the banner of Cao Jun, and even many people's sense of belonging was on Cao Jun's side. So, one by one, they all threw down their weapons and surrendered on the spot!
Liu Bei may be more popular with the people than Cao Cao, or he may be more cordial and liked by the people. But if you win the hearts of the people, can you really win the world? This sentence may be true, because the "soldiers" come from the "people". If you win the hearts and minds of the people, you will have an army, and if you have an army and strength, you will naturally be able to win the world. But in fact, the people are not completely equivalent to soldiers, even if the families of those ordinary soldiers are all ordinary people, but in today's world, if you pull a soldier casually and ask, is he willing to follow Liu Bei or Cao Cao, absolutely nine out of ten will be willing to be more Cao Cao!
If not for anything else, just for Cao Cao always wins, Liu Bei always loses! Cao Cao won the battle, because the army had strong combat effectiveness, and with the help of strategists like Guo Jia, there were even many bloodless battles; On the other hand, Liu Bei, which defeat was not a fiasco, not heavy casualties?
Therefore, if you ask the common people who they would prefer to govern the world, they may say that it is Liu Bei; But if you want to ask who the soldiers would prefer to be under them, it is definitely Cao Cao, even if it is not Cao Cao, it is Yuan Shao, Liu Biao or something, Liu Bei, a guy who has been defeated from beginning to end, is not ranked at all! You must know that the soldiers are flesh and blood, not death squads. Even if it is not for honor, not for the inspiring iron-blooded morale, but for the survival rate, the soldiers are absolutely willing to follow Cao Cao!
Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world? No! Those who win the people's "soldiers" win the world! Those who can't turn people into soldiers, no matter how much you have, it won't help! (To be continued......)
