Back to the Wei army camp.
"Could it have something to do with the surrendered soldiers that Yi An had Cao Chun send back?" Guo Jia thought.”
"Those who know me are filial piety!"
Su Ran laughed out loud and looked at Guo Jia with excitement.
It was comfortable to chat with smart people.
When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's hint, he was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something, and his originally puzzled gaze became enlightened.
Then, he laughed out loud and said,"Brilliant plan!”
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were confused.
The lord and the two strategists seemed to have said a lot, but they also seemed to have said nothing.
The two of them were dumbfounded. They scratched the back of their heads and said,"My lord, what are you talking about? I don't understand a single word you're saying.”
"What brilliant plan?"
The three of them turned their heads and saw Dian Wei's simple-minded appearance. The smiles on their faces widened.
"Er 'Lai ah (Dian Wei has no words, this is the author borrowing Cao Cao's words" ancient Er' Lai "to add, please do not study!），I heard that you once subdued a fierce tiger in the mountains. How did you do it?”
Dian Wei was more than two meters tall. Guo Jia had to raise his head to see Dian Wei's face.
In addition to its sturdy body, it looked like a small mountain.
Guo Jia leaned in front of Dian Wei, looking rather comical.
"This matter is simple."
Dian Wei became excited when he talked about his strengths." I only need to beat up that tiger with my fists. When his face and nose bleed and his body is weak, I will drag him down the mountain and starve him for a few meals.”
"Then, I will feed them with poultry meat every day, supplemented by the long whip. In less than half a month, I will be able to control the tiger freely.”
Was this simple?
There were not many people in the world who could fight tigers.
Only a fierce man like Dian Wei could do such a thing.
"That's what we said just now.”
Guo Jia smiled." This is called using both kindness and intimidation. First, we'll scare the enemy, then we'll give them some benefits.”
"Those enemies will naturally be obedient.”
Guo Jia turned to look at Su Ran." Yi 'an, am I right?”
Su Ran nodded approvingly.”
"Then I understand."
Dian Wei waved his fist thoughtfully." My lord has scared the Shouchun rebels a few days ago, so we have to give them some benefits now."”
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a smile.
To be able to convince Dian Wei, Feng Xiao was really a talent.
It seemed that in the future, when Dian Wei was by his side, he would definitely bring Feng Xiao with him. At that time, he wouldn't have to have a headache.
Hahaha.
Cao Cao snickered in his heart and turned to Su Ran."I now understand why Advisor Jun asked me to treat Yuan Jun's captive well.”
"At that time, Xiahou Dun and his generals complained to me that they couldn't give the rations to the surrendered soldiers. If they knew the military counselor's arrangements, they probably wouldn't have complained.”
"At that time, the situation was unclear, and I couldn't explain myself. It was my fault for making General Xia Hou and the others worry.”Su Ran cupped her hands and said," However, the time has come. My lord, you can release Yuan's army into the city in batches.”
"If that's the case, Shouchun's army will definitely be in chaos."
"Good!"
Cao Cao clapped his hands in joy and quickly left with Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu to make arrangements.
Su Ran returned to the drill ground to train his soldiers.
At noon.
In Cao Cao's camp.
The two thousand Yuan soldiers who had surrendered were given half a day's worth of food and pay and sent out of the camp, allowing them to return to Shouchun.
Not to mention the two thousand surrendered soldiers, even the Shouchun garrison general who received the news was stunned.
Thus, he quickly sent the news back to the inner city, Zhong Tianzi's palace.
At this moment.
Yuan Shu was sleeping under the blanket, and beside him were two pretty maidservants with tears on their faces.
Hearing the eunuch's report, Yuan Shu sat up in shock. His intuition told him that this was another scheme of Cao Cao.
Immediately.
He summoned the civil and military officials to the hall for a meeting.
"Tell me, what is this Cao Aman trying to do?”
Yuan Shu glanced at the ministers, but no one answered.
In the end, Yan Xiang walked out and said to Yuan Shu,"My lord, no matter what scheme Cao Cao has, we must first release these surrendered soldiers into the city. Otherwise, it will definitely affect the morale of the army.”
"However, in order to prevent Cao Cao spies from sneaking in, we can lock them up first and then order people to carefully investigate the identities of these surrendered soldiers. After confirming that there are no mistakes, we can let them return to the city camp.”
"As you say."
He wanted to kill the soldiers who had surrendered to Cao Cao and let his subordinates know the consequences of surrendering, but he knew that if he really did that, it would probably cause a mutiny.
Even the aristocratic families would carry him away.
At that time, it would be even more difficult to end it.
Now that there was no better way, he could only listen to Yan Xiang.
These surrendered soldiers couldn't be killed or used for the time being.
Let's lock him up for investigation first.
Hence, he decided to do it.
The two thousand surrendered soldiers were released into the city and temporarily locked up.
In just half a day, the two thousand soldiers had been beaten black and blue because they had surrendered to the enemy. They had even become the laughingstock of the defenders in the city. While the two thousand soldiers were furious, they also spread another piece of news.
The Cao army did not kill captives and would even give them preferential treatment.
Once the news was out, it spread throughout Shouchun overnight. The hundred thousand plus soldiers in the city knew about this.
Everyone had strange thoughts.
After all, there were only a few people who were not afraid of death. Most people wanted to live. They joined the army just to earn a living and not starve to death.
Since those who surrender will not be killed.
In that case, when the Cao army attacked the city in the future, they would not have to work so hard.
When the Cao army invaded the city, they would throw away their weapons and surrender to the Cao army. They would still be able to keep their lives and receive preferential treatment. Why not?
At this point.
The morale of Shouchun City had completely collapsed!
When Cao Cao heard the news, he was overjoyed and immediately announced the rewards to the three armies.
Everything went smoothly on Cao Cao's side, but Liu Bei was in trouble.
