The engagement failed.
This is a test.
For a long time, Cao Cao had a faint fear of Liu Ke and the Yangzhou Army.
He had no confidence in a real war.
"However, he also has the spirit of refusing to admit defeat. It is impossible for him to give up.
So, there was a fight. Cao Cao wanted to show his ambition and tell Liu Ke that he would not give up easily and come over if he had the guts.
The Yangzhou army was very powerful, and Cao Cao did not expect Yu Jin and Xu Huang to defeat them with equal strength.
What about the weaker Xuzhou garrison?
The Xuzhou garrison is a local force. Whether it is equipment or combat effectiveness, it cannot compare with the Yangzhou main battle corps.
Therefore, Cao Cao has always had a hope in his heart that Yu Jin can win, no matter how tragic it is, as long as he can win.
It¡¯s a pity that the last wish was shattered.
Cao Cao selected the most elite five thousand men from Yanzhou's troops, but he was ultimately defeated.
Just in case, he also arranged for Xu Huang to be his back-up man.
Cao Cao knows Xu Huang's bravery and can fight against Ma Chao. With Yu Jin's cooperation, it shouldn't be a big problem to win Hua Xiong, right?
"There's still something wrong!" Cao Cao sighed softly, and his hair turned a lot pale again.
"Lord, now is not the time to be discouraged." Jiang Ji said calmly.
Although it was his idea to propose a fight, it was not his execution.
The main responsibility does not lie with him.
" Moreover, Yu Jin and Xu Huang did display the majesty of Cao Cao's army, and less than a thousand people returned intact.
With such a loss rate, his subordinates would have rebelled long ago.
Yu Jinshen took the lead, Xu Huang even fought with injuries, and they all tried their best.
"Tell me, tell me, I can't even defeat King Dongyang's second-line troops, how can I start a war with Yangzhou?" Cao Cao said in despair.
"My lord, this is a field battle, so of course it's different." Jiang Ji consoled him, "If it's a city defense battle, one-on-one our army is worthy."
Cao Cao still showed worry.
"My lord, my subordinates have studied Yangzhou's military system, which is completely different from ours. As long as they can reduce their number of 200,000 to 300,000 people, King Dongyang will definitely withdraw his troops."
"Is this bomb serious?"
Cao Cao suddenly became interested and said: "Tell me about it quickly!"
"That's right, do you know the pension system in Yangzhou?"
Cao Cao recalled it and nodded.
"I probably know a little bit about it."
"This is enough. The only thing that King Dongyang cannot tolerate is the pension. Every time a soldier dies in battle, the Yangzhou government needs to pay a pension of 500 gold. If 200,000 people are killed in battle, this means What are you talking about? King Dongyang needs to pay 100 million gold!"
Cao Cao was immediately surprised. He had never seen so much money in his entire life.
"No matter how wealthy Yangzhou is, it cannot afford such expenses. Not only that, there is also a tax exemption policy. If a soldier dies in battle, his family will receive tax exemption for three years. If only the elderly are left in the family, they will be exempt from taxes for a lifetime. .¡±
Cao Cao made some calculations. If this is really the case, King Dongyang may go bankrupt!
But his expression soon darkened.
"The King of Dongyang doesn't have to pay."
"My lord, is King Dongyang such a scoundrel?" When he said this, Jiang Ji showed admiration.
In terms of credibility, Liu Ke has always been respected by others.
"What's more, Yangzhou is rich, why would the soldiers die for King Dongyang? Why don't you enjoy it? - Not only because of King Dongyang's charm, but more importantly, they have no worries, King Dongyang will take care of their families. "
"Once the rules are broken, King Dongyang will be reduced to a mortal, and it will not be difficult for the Lord to win."
Cao Cao was finally convinced.
"In the final analysis, the key to the outcome of this battle lies in the heart of the people!"
"If my lord wins the hearts of the people and the soldiers dare to die, no matter how strong King Dongyang is, my lord will be able to take a piece of his flesh!"
"And this wound will continue to expand, and Yangzhou Group will collapse from this."
"Jiang Ji's every word is Zhuji, and it has reached Cao Cao's heart."
If Cao Cao was at a loss before this, now he finally has a clear direction.
That is to gather people¡¯s hearts!
Only by possessing the hearts of the people can he fight against Liu Ke.
"Zitong, I know what to do." Cao Cao suddenly said.
After Yu Jin and Xu Huang were defeated, everyone thought that Cao Cao would unleash his thunderous wrath, but to everyone's surprise, everything was calm.
Yu Jin himself was stunned!
The apology letter was sent, but there was no response.
"Does the lord really want your life and mine?"
"Nonsense!" Xu Huang scolded, "My lord has not given any orders, so stop thinking nonsense."
"No, we must save ourselves." Yu Jin suddenly made a decision.
If Cao Cao gives a punishment, it means that the matter is over.
But now, there is nothing, how could Yu Jin not panic.
"What do you want to do? Don't mess around!"
"General Xu, no, Gongming, our lord is waiting for us to admit our mistakes! You and I might as well bear the thorn and plead guilty, get in the prison car, and be escorted to Chang'an."
After hearing Yu Jin¡¯s suggestion, Xu Huang was moved. It's not a problem to wait like this.
It would be better to resolve it earlier.
So the two of them reported to Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Dun granted them permission.
The two of them were escorted to Chang'an by the "jailers", passing through prefectures and counties without entering.
After Cao Cao heard about it, he did not stop it.
Since you have lost the battle, you should be punished. This punishment is nothing more than drizzle.
"Come here, send an imperial doctor to treat Gongming."
Xu Huang was injured, and Cao Cao was worried.
In case of walking, suddenly hung up, wouldn't you lose a general?
Cao Cao sees this kind of thing very clearly!
When the second general entered Tongguan, Cao Cao took Jiang Ji to greet him personally.
"King Wei, we have a great responsibility!"
Both Yu Jin and Xu Huang knelt down.
Cao Cao trotted over excitedly and helped them up.
"You two are both great talents, why bother! Please get up quickly!"
"What are you doing standing still? Quickly untie the two generals!"
Seeing how clumsy the jailer was, Cao Cao became furious and personally untied the ropes for Yu Jin and Xu Huang.
When he accidentally touched Xu Huang¡¯s wound, he immediately grinned, as if he was enduring great pain.
"Gongming, your injury hasn't healed yet?"
After saying that, Cao Cao looked at the imperial doctor with cold eyes, and the latter knelt down with a plop.
"My subordinates deserve to die! My subordinates deserve to die!"
But I was cursing secretly in my heart: How could such a serious injury heal so quickly?
"If my love is missing even a hair, you are the only one to ask!"
Cao Cao lifted up Xu Huang's shirt, revealing his bandaged waist, showing a sad expression.
"Gongming has fought in all directions for me. It's really hard on you!"
¡°I will serve my lord no matter what, even if I die!¡± Xu Huang said, clasping his fists heavily.
When Yu Jin saw this scene, he was very envious. Why was he not injured? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
