Several lieutenants, each with one sentence, explained the matter clearly to Cao Cao.
Yu Jin accepted the mission and led an army of 40,000, of which 20,000 were surrendered troops, to defend Zhang Liao and prevent Zhang Liao and Liu Zhe from jointly attacking Cao Cao.
When Yu Jin took office, he set up camp at an important place on the ferry leading to Tongguan and concentrated on guarding against Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao came to observe with a small number of guards for several days after he camped in Yujin.
Yu Jin ignored it. He strictly ordered his soldiers to be vigilant every day to prevent Zhang Liao from sneak attacks.
Cao Cao's direct soldiers naturally strictly enforced the forbidden orders, but the surrender of the soldiers was different. They turned out to be Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei's soldiers, and their discipline could not be said to be poor.
But in the end, they surrendered their troops and were forced to surrender. Their status was originally inferior and their status in the army was not respected. When Yu Jin's order was conveyed, everyone was treated equally, but when the lieutenants below assigned tasks, it was inevitably unfair.
For example, when patrolling at night, the troops who are sent down do more work, and when standing guard, the troops who are sent down also stay longer at night. In this way, conflicts naturally arise.
Jiang Bing also has resentment in his heart. We all surrendered and served the same lord. Why should he treat us like this? Passivity and sabotage are inevitable.
The ones keeping watch tonight are also Jiang Bing. Since the weather has been calm for several nights in a row, Jiang Bing took a lazy break and took a nap.
Then, by chance, Zhang Liao came to make a sneak attack at night.
The surrendered soldiers were treated unfairly not only in the work of defending the camp, but also in the places where they slept were different from those of Cao Cao's direct descendants. The soldiers slept near the gate, and the direct descendants slept inside.
However, this distribution became one of the reasons for Yu Jin's fiasco.
When Zhang Liao entered the camp, the soldiers who surrendered were the first to be attacked and were immediately disbanded. Even his direct descendants were disbanded as well.
Yu Jin was injured by Zhang Liao. Fortunately, Yu Jin's guards fought desperately to rescue him, and Yu Jin was rescued from Zhang Liao's sword.
Of course, the lieutenants will not tell Cao Cao the truth about these situations. They will choose some to tell. In their mouths, the main reason why Yu Jin was defeated by Zhang Liao in a sneak attack was because of his carelessness in surrendering his troops and his first escape. They blamed all the reasons on Jiang Bing.
Cao Cao was furious and glared at the several lieutenants standing nearby.
As soon as they saw Cao Cao's gaze coming towards him, several of them immediately knelt down and said, "Lord, this is not the case. Please listen to our explanation"
Just now, Cao Cao's direct lieutenants were all talking, and each of them said one sentence. These deputies had no way to interrupt, and they couldn't even refute.
"Drag him down and behead him!"
Cao Cao was so angry that he did not listen to the explanations of these people. He roared and asked the guards to drag them down to enforce military law.
Soon, the screams of the surrendered lieutenants were heard one by one. After hearing this, Cao Cao felt the anger in his heart relieved a lot. After pondering for a while, he glanced at the unconscious Yu Jin and said to the lieutenants: " Please kindly take care of me, General. If you have anything else to do, please wait until I wake up."
Then he just went to bed like this.
The lieutenant general was left confused. Everyone looked at each other, confused and confused as to what Cao Cao wanted to do.
When Yu Jin was defeated and the defeated troops withdrew, Zhang Liao might even be wandering outside, staring here and drooling, ready for a sneak attack at any time, but as the coach, you actually went to sleep?
Even if you don¡¯t need to personally command, you are still sitting there, giving some orders, waiting for your subordinates to get busy, and waiting for your subordinates to ask for instructions. What¡¯s the point of going to bed?
These lieutenants naturally don¡¯t understand Cao Cao. The blows Cao Cao suffered today are too many. Yu Jin¡¯s defeat is nothing compared to what Cao Cao encountered today.
Furthermore, he didn't have much confidence that Yu Jin could stop Zhang Liao from the beginning. Now he was able to hold off Zhang Liao for five or six days, which exceeded Cao Cao's expectations. Dragging Zhang Liao out for five or six days had achieved the effect Cao Cao wanted.
Now that Tongguan is no longer possible, Yu Jin's garrison is no longer of much use. Cao Cao plans to have Yu Jin withdraw tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but he doesn't expect to be attacked by Zhang Liao tonight.
After angrily ordering the execution of several lieutenants, Cao Cao calmed down and went to sleep for two reasons. First, to show his subordinates that I, the boss, are not panicked yet, but you are panicking. Second, he was really sleepy.
As for whether he would be attacked by Zhang Liao, Cao Cao was not worried at all.
He thought very clearly. If Zhang Liao sneaks into the rear, his camp will definitely be more vigilant. It is not that easy for Zhang Liao to make a sneak attack. Even if he guessed wrong and Zhang Liao came to sneak attack, he would still be able to get up.?Command.
Therefore, Cao Cao went to bed calmly and slept until dawn.
After getting enough sleep, Cao Cao looked energetic. He went to visit Yu Jin first. After seeing the doctor, Yu Jin's injuries had been taken care of and he was resting.
Cao Cao did not bother Yu Jin. Cao Cao still liked Yu Jin very much. Although he experienced a defeat last night and lost a lot of 40,000 soldiers, Cao Cao had no intention of blaming Yu Jin.
After instructing his men to take good care of Yu Jin, he returned to the big tent and summoned his generals for a meeting.
Cao Cao originally wanted to continue discussing with his men within these two days to come up with a better way to see if there was a way to bring Cao Ren back without having to give up Yongzhou.
¡°Perhaps after a good sleep, the subordinates¡¯ heads are much clearer.
"My lord, why not use money to buy Liu Zhe? Doesn't Liu Zhe like money very much?" One of his subordinates suggested.
"Well, this idea may be feasible." Cao Cao nodded, but in terms of money, it would take a large amount to satisfy Liu Zhe's appetite, but he can give it a try. Giving money is better than giving territory.
"My lord, you can also use your population to exchange." Someone else suggested.
It is well known throughout the world that Liu Zhe likes population.
Cao Cao nodded again. These were all aimed at Liu Zhe's weaknesses, but he didn't know whether Liu Zhe was willing to accept them.
Seeing this, Cao Cao continued to encourage: "Very good, let's think about it again and speak out. It doesn't matter if we are wrong. If there is a good way, we will reward you."
"As long as everyone thinks more, there will definitely be a way. I don't believe that we can't find a way"
