Chapter 30 Three, poisonous tongue meter

"Xiang Yu Wai Huang's Story of Suppressing Bandits" is an extremely failed battle. The failure is not because Xiang Yu failed to suppress bandits, but because he killed the people in a rage and lost the hearts of the people again. In history, too many brave generals only know that food and soldiers are the guarantee of victory in wars, but they don't know that the greatest guarantee is the hearts of the people. Only people-oriented can they achieve great achievements. In terms of people-oriented, Liu Bang knows people and can employ people. His subordinates Han Xin, Chen Ping, Ying Bu and others have all served under Xiang Yu's command.However, Xiang Yu didn't keep any of them. Obviously, he had already lost a lot to Liu Bang.

Because Liu Bang knows how to employ people, there are always people who give him good advice at critical moments.Just when Xiang Yu led the army to suppress the bandits, Li Shiqi suggested to Liu Bang that at this time, he should counterattack Chenggao, take back Xingyang, and more importantly, seize the grain road of Aocang.In this way, Xiang Yu was quite passive. Liu Bangting appreciated Li Shiqi's opinion, and decisively decided to counterattack Chenggao. Cheng Gao in October was full of desolation.On the city, there were many soldiers and the guards were tight; below the city, tens of thousands of Han troops poured in like a flood.

Cao Jiu was not timid, he followed Xiang Yu's instructions and took all defensive measures. Liu Bang personally went into battle to command, and the soldiers were full of energy and charged fiercely.But no matter how the Han army attacked, Chenggao City remained motionless.After several days of continuous attack, the Chu army did not lose a single hair, but the Han army suffered many casualties.It is better not to fight like this. Liu Bang was so anxious that he summoned Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to discuss it, and asked them to turn their heads and come up with countermeasures quickly.

After several days of observation, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping discovered that Chenggao City was impeccable, and the only flaw was its people. From Cao Jiu's gestures, they came to a conclusion: Cao Jiu is reckless and irritable.Analyzing today's personality color theory, Cao Jiu is a person with an excessively red personality, impulsive, lacking in determination, and poor in stress resistance. Zhang and Chen are worthy of being senior counselors. They not only understand strategy and layout, but more importantly, they know people and understand people. When the two armies are at war, and the two sides are at a stalemate, it depends on whoever finds the other side's flaw first, and if he finds the flaw, he can prescribe the right medicine and the bad medicine.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping found Cao Jiu's loophole, and they told Liu Bang, we are so and so, so and so. That night, people in the Han army camp came and went, shuttled non-stop, and seemed very busy. In the early morning of the next day, there was silence outside Chenggao City.As the autumn wind passes by, only a few dead leaves fall to the ground. Cao Jiu climbed to the top of the wall, looked up and was startled.At this time in the past, the open space under the city had already been filled by the soldiers of the Han army, and it was very eye-popping; today the city is empty, only five cavalrymen of the Han army sat on their horses, looking at the city from the other side of the Si River. head.

The picture contrast is too great, Cao Jiu is not used to it. Seeing Cao Jiu appear at the top of the wall, one of the cavalrymen of the Han army raised his hand and pointed at the top of the wall, and said loudly: "Scream!" The other four responded immediately, and for a while, obscene words gushed out of their mouths like the water of the Yellow River, and every word and every sentence was shot at Cao Jiu like a poisonous arrow.What a shrinking turtle, what a mother-in-law, what a bitch, from the 18th generation of Cao Jiu's ancestors to his descendants, they scolded until the sky was dark and the sky was dark, and the situation changed.Because the language is too vulgar and dirty, 75,200 words had to be deleted here.

Cao Jiu had countless poisonous tongue arrows in his body, and he was in a hurry, and he was about to leave the city to fight the Han army. The lieutenants Sima Xin and Dong Yi hurriedly tried to persuade them that they could not be forced to do so. King Xiang said that no matter how the Han army attacked, we could not fight.The Si River is Chenggao's natural barrier, and those who suffered thousands of knives just wanted to provoke you and seduce you to fight. Once our army goes out to fight, the Han army will fight back halfway across the river. Sima Xin and Dong Yi's analysis is very reasonable.It reminds me of Hou Baolin's cross talk: A drunk said: You climb up along the beam of my flashlight.Another said: Don't do this, I understand, I want to climb up, halfway up, I will fall down when you turn off the switch.

It is also said in Sun Tzu's Art of War: When a guest comes without water, don't welcome him into the water, order him to hit him with half the money, it will benefit. It means: When the enemy crosses the water and attacks our army, our army must not fight in the water, but wait for the enemy to cross halfway before launching an attack. This is the most conducive to destroying the enemy. Cao Jiu is not a fool, he also knows the danger of fighting with anger.Therefore, he suppressed his anger, closed the city gate, and let the Han army scold him. The Han army scolded from early morning to dusk before withdrawing their troops.

It was as if a heavy slate was pressed against Cao Jiu's chest, and the insults from the Han army were like beans, which were ground into powder and into a slurry, the powder wouldn't disperse when blown, and the slurry wouldn't flow, and it turned into a heavy lump again. Sticking to the stomach like cement. That night, Cao Jiu couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, stared out of the city with piercing eyes, and vowed in his heart that if he seized the opportunity, he would kill the Han army. In the Han army camp, the soldiers drank and ate meat, enjoying themselves happily. Last night, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping voted for "Eloquent Man" in the army.Judging from Cao Jiu's expression today, this draft event was quite successful, and the five "swearing kings" lived up to expectations.However, the yelling had to be strengthened, and Cao Jiu had to be scolded until he went out to fight.

The next day, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping continued to use the "poisonous tongue trick". Five "swearing kings" led the way, followed by two teams, one group repeated the five people's curses, and the other group was responsible for laughing, applauding, and applauding. Cao Jiu was about to collapse, he didn't expect the Han army to be so vicious, yesterday there were only five stinking mouths, today they are upgraded, there are both amusing and flattering, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, like playing a double reed. He wished he could jump off the tower immediately and fight the Han army single-handedly to the death.Sima Xin and Dong Yi held him tightly, and he jumped up and down.The two had no choice but to drag him down to the city.

But the Han army didn't stop breathing. One group got tired of scolding, and another group changed. They took turns to fight, and scolded for another day. If it were someone else, he might have been numb by the scolding, but Cao Jiu was so clear-headed, every scolding sentence from the Han army was firmly pierced into his heart, unable to be pulled out, and it took root and sprouted, crawling all over his internal organs like a poisonous snake, biting him heart and lungs. The extremely long day finally passed, Cao Jiu was already paralyzed with anger, and he forgot to sleep and eat all night. Seeing that Cao Jiu hadn't played yet, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping decided to escalate insults into curses. On the third day, the Han army came out with white banners.The white banner is used to summon the soul of a deceased relative at home during a funeral.The white banner specially made by the Han army has two sides, with Cao Jiu's name written on the front, and a very strange-looking beast painted on the back, which looks like a crossbreed between Sister Feng and Furong. The Han army waved the white flags, first insulted them, and then threw the white flags on the ground, stabbed them with swords, stomped them with their feet, and cursed at the same time. Under the city of Chenggao, demons danced wildly.Cao Jiu completely collapsed, is that monster on the banner me?I look so ugly?It is tolerable or unbearable!He personally led the troops and rushed out of the city. When Sima Xin and Dong Yi reacted and tried to dissuade them, it was beyond their reach. When Cao Jiu came to kill him, the scolding generals of the Han army turned around and ran away. Cao Jiu resolutely crossed the river and pursued him.At this moment, he has lost his mind and completely forgot about the task of sticking to it. He just wants to kill those scolders, slash and kill them, and vent his anger. Sure enough, when Cao Jiu was halfway across the river, the Han army counterattacked.Cao Jiu's army was neither advancing nor retreating.This situation is like the lyrics: the green grass is luxuriant, the white mist is blurred, and the angry Chu army is on the side of the water.Cao Jiu, who came to his senses, suddenly lost his anger, and suddenly became as sad as Qiong Yao.This grievance came from the rapid death of a large number of soldiers under his command, which was so tragic that he could not bear to witness it. Immediately afterwards, Chenggao City was destroyed, and Sima Xin and Cao Jiu drew their swords and killed themselves.The two brothers knew very well that Cheng Gao fell into the hands of the Han army. Even if Liu Bang didn't kill them, Xiang Yu would not spare them lightly. Cao Jiu and Sima Xin lay peacefully by the Sishui River.The gentle sunshine of autumn brushed over the bodies of the two, as if to comfort them with pity. Sima Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty must have read this history.Therefore, when Zhuge Liang sent lipstick, rouge, eyebrow pencil and other make-up tools and sexy underwear to him, he just smiled lightly and accepted them with a smile. Then he put on makeup, walked out of the camp sexyly, and showed it to Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang vomited on the spot, and there was nothing he could do after vomiting, so he had to retreat. No matter how humiliated the other party is, stick to what should be done, this is the bearing that a general should possess. Being willing to be humiliated is not a perversion, but a scheming man, who doesn't care about momentary gains and losses, and who doesn't show off his superficial strength, can be a general.
