Chapter 31 31. The method of conquering people's hearts

Following this order, Lou Yi took two soldiers of Cao's family to hold him up and drag him out.Only now did the soldier realize that he was afraid, and kept yelling for mercy. The entire camp was in an uproar, and no one dared to speak out.Cao Cao ignored him, turned his face away, and turned his back to the soldiers of the battalion, but kept curling his lips and winking at Qin Yilu. Qin Yilu was so clever, he clasped his fists and said: "General, wait a moment for the execution. Our army has not fought the bandits. It is unlucky to kill our own soldiers first!" "Alas..." Cao Cao pretended to raise his head and sighed, then turned around and said, "Forgive this person!"

Lou Yi didn't go far, hurriedly greeted the soldiers and pushed him back.This time he was honest: "Thank you sir for not killing me." "It's not that Captain Ben didn't kill you, it's just that killing you will hinder the army's prestige. I will send you out of the barracks and don't want you anymore! Go back to Luoyang." Hearing this, the man burst into tears: "I have martial arts skills, and I came to join the army under the order of my master Yang Shangshu, in order to kill the enemy and serve the country and honor the family. If I am sent away from the army, I will shame the master. As long as the captain let me Kill the enemy, even if you die in battle, you will have no regrets. I hope you will be merciful, and you must not remove me." After saying that, he kowtowed repeatedly.

Cao Cao felt that it was almost done, and nodded: "It's not bad, I still have a sense of shame. In this case, I want you to be the first to attack tonight, and you will pay me for your merits." "Thank you, my lord!" "Listen, all the soldiers present," Cao Cao said with one foot on the pole of the vertical flag. "Our army only has three thousand riders, and we are about to throw ourselves into a dangerous situation. Everyone must use all their abilities to rescue the king. If you can fight a battle, you must win the first battle! Do you have the determination?"

"Yes!" All the soldiers raised their spears and shouted in unison. "Okay, Qin Yilu sent an order quickly, ordering the whole battalion to go back to rest. Let's eat at noon, drink and walk the horses, and then pull out the battalion and raise troops." "No." Qin Yilu responded. Seeing that all the soldiers had dispersed, Cao Cao also went back to rest in the tent. The first time he gave an instruction to the soldiers, he felt a little uneasy, so he leaned in the tent and couldn't help laughing. Lou Yi handed over the water bag: "I've been talking for a long time, please drink some water."

Only then did Cao Cao feel thirsty, so he took a sip. "My lord, did you do this on purpose?" Cao Cao almost spouted water: "You...what did you say?" Lou Yi wiped Cao Cao's pocket, without raising his head: "Actually, you have a plan in mind, but you deliberately didn't tell the three armies clearly. On the surface, you are not in a hurry, but you just want to arouse the discussion among the three armies, so you can take the opportunity to deter the soldiers." Cao Cao was speechless: "You know how I became a captain, and these soldiers have backgrounds. If you don't extinguish their arrogance, it will be troublesome if you don't command well in battle."

"You are wise and decisive, I really admire you." Lou Yi felt that he couldn't help talking too much today, so he quickly added. "Hey, you are really sharp. Qin Yilu is said to be clever. I think he is smart on the surface, and you are smart in his bones." Having said that, Cao Cao felt that his mind had been exposed, and it was somewhat awkward! It can be said that everything is in order now, just waiting for the time to come.Cao Cao ordered everyone to rest, but he couldn't calm down.After all, it is the first time to use soldiers, so it is inevitable to be nervous.He forced himself to close his eyes and stay still, until Qin Yilu brought the rice in front of him, and then he opened his eyes and took two mouthfuls.

"My lord, if you..." "Call the general!" "My general, you need to use more." Qin Yilu said with a silly smile. "I can't eat it." Cao Cao pushed the bowl away. Qin Yilu really dared to speak: "If you don't eat, I will. I have to eat enough." "You chatter, eat, eat!" Cao Cao ignored him, pacing up and down in the big tent, "I'm going to kill you, you skinless and shameless thing." "You said that I have no skin and no face, but I have no skin and no face when I am young." Qin Yilu picked up the bowl but did not eat. What should you do if you are exhausted and unable to command? So I will eat more, and if the time comes, I will be able to escape!"

"Presumptuous! You..." Cao Cao was furious and turned around to get angry, but Qin Yilu smiled and held the bowl in front of him again: "My lord, in order to win the war, you should use more." Cao Cao gave a "puchi" smile, took the bowl and said, "You piece of hob meat!" Qin Yilu became more and more obsequious: "I wish I was a piece of meat. If I were meat, I would give it to you to eat at this time. I would be so strong in battle. Go out and have a look, brothers are full of energy! Everyone says you are The command of the lower realm of the gods is determined. If you are the lower realm of the gods, then we are all heavenly soldiers and generals, how can we not win this battle?"

A villain has the ability to be a villain, although Cao Cao knew that what he said was all nonsense, but at the moment it was quite useful, he cheered up a lot, and picked up a bowl to eat up the battle meal.Long ago, Lou Yi washed and drank the Dawan horse, tied up the quiver, wiped the sword and spear countless times, and it was shining brightly.When everything was ready, Cao Cao sent an order to pull out the camp and set off.
