Chapter 275 Cao Cao: Say the best policy directly
The generals of Wuhuan were naturally very loyal to their Shan Yu Tadun.

These Wuhuan generals were definitely willing to sacrifice their lives for Tatun.

However, those soldiers of Wuhuan, that's hard to say.

Most of these Wuhuan soldiers are herdsmen at ordinary times, and only when they need to fight, they will become soldiers.

In fact, this is not only the case with Wuhuan, but also with the Han army.

Take Cao Cao's army as an example. Only a small number of Cao Cao's troops are professional soldiers, that is to say, soldiers who don't need to do anything other than fighting and training.

The vast majority are also Tuntian soldiers.

Tuntian soldiers, as the name suggests, are when they need to fight, they put on armor and hold swords on horseback to fight.

If there is no need to fight, they will pick up hoes and farm the fields.

Not only in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, but also in the entire feudal dynasty, it was basically the same.

Among them, the most important reason is because of low productivity.

If the people only pay taxes, they cannot afford to support so many troops. In this case, even the military can only find ways to be self-sufficient.

Therefore, farming has become the best way.

There is no farming on the grasslands, but it is the same for them to graze.

The captured Wuhuan soldiers were not even professional soldiers, so they naturally didn't have much professional ethics.

After being beaten up by Li Dian, Le Jin and others, they all confessed like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Although these ordinary soldiers didn't know much, Li Dian and Le Jin still got crucial news.

This crucial news is that these soldiers wearing Xianbei and Xiongnu uniforms are not Xiongnu and Xianbei people, they are Wuhuan people.

Li Dian and Le Jin are both pioneer generals, they don't like to use their brains, and they don't bother to figure out why.

After interrogating the news, they immediately went to report to the military adviser Jia Xu.

"Prime Minister, Military Advisor!"

"The question came out, there is important news!" Li Dian and Le Jin rushed to report the news excitedly.

Seeing Li Dian, Le Jin came forward, and Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "What's the news, tell me quickly."

Li Dian and Le Jin looked at each other, and Li Dian reported to Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, it is not the army of Xianbei and the Xiongnu that attacked the city this time, but the army of Wuhuan."

As soon as Li Dian finished speaking, Le Jin asked with a puzzled face: "Prime Minister, military advisor, if you say that Wuhuan attacks us, he will attack us. Why do they have to pretend to be Xiongnu and Xianbei?"

Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei, the three patriarchs all have the same appearance, and the armor and weapons they use are the same. The only way to distinguish them is that they fly different flags.

If Jia Xu hadn't seen the strength of these people's attacks, and sent Li Dian and Le Jin to arrest them for interrogation, Su Puyan would have been fooled.

Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu who was on the side, meaning to ask Jia Xu to come up with the correct answer.

Why, the Wuhuan soldiers pretended to be Xianbei and Xiongnu soldiers to attack the city!

After hearing the news from Li Dian and Le Jin, Jia Xu's face was already full of smiles.

Because, Jia Xu knew very well that her plan had worked.

In this battle, Wuhuan was bound to lose, and there was no way to turn the tables.

Jia Xu stroked his goatee, and said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Prime Minister, if my prediction is correct, the Xianbei and Huns have already withdrawn their troops."

"And Wuhuan is also preparing to withdraw its troops. The Wuhuan soldiers who attacked us are the soldiers and horses they left behind."

"They, the soldiers in the rear, know that if we attack with all our might, they won't be able to stop us."

"That's why they made a dangerous move, pretending to be Xiongnu, Xianbei soldiers attacking the city, trying to bluff us and achieve their goal of delaying the retreat of the Wuhuan army."

As soon as they heard that Wuhuan's large army wanted to run away, these generals under Cao Cao's command immediately became anxious.

"Prime Minister, the last general asks for orders to pursue him." Xu Huang first knelt down and begged for orders.

"Prime Minister, we can't let them go!"

"We are willing to chase!" Li Dian and Le Jin also asked to chase.

Even Yu Jin, who was always good at defense, bowed his hands and begged for orders: "Prime Minister, you must not let the tiger go back to the mountain!"

Cao Cao also knew that these generals only know how to fight, and they don't understand strategic concepts.

If you really want to pay attention to tactics and strategy, you have to ask the military adviser Jia Xu for advice.

So Cao Cao put his eyes on Jia Xu and asked, "Wen He thinks, what should we do next?"

Once the Xiongnu and Xianbei withdrew, it meant that Wuhuan would definitely lose, and there was no room for a comeback.

In this battle, Cao Cao's victory is a foregone conclusion.

Next, how to win depends on Cao Cao himself.

Cao Cao has countless ways to win, he only needs to choose one of them.

"I have a strategy for going up, down, and down the mountain," Jia Xu pretended.

However, before Jia Xu could finish speaking, Cao Cao said simply and rudely: "Let's talk about the best policy!"

Cao Cao thought to himself, obviously there is a good strategy, so I have no reason to choose the middle strategy, the worst strategy!
"Prime Minister, the best way to do this is to stop the Wuhuan people first, and then let the Wuhuan people go back." Jia Xu's tone was very flat.

Jia Xu's tone was very flat, but when the generals under Cao Cao heard this so-called best policy, they couldn't calm down.

"what?"

"Let the Wuhuan people go? Military division, what's the best way for you to do this?" the impatient Le Jin asked anxiously.

Obviously, not only Le Jin was dissatisfied with this so-called best policy, but the other generals were also dissatisfied.

This battle has been fought until now, and their soldiers have suffered heavy casualties.

Everyone usually eats in the same military camp and sees each other every day. The brothers under his command suffered heavy casualties, and these generals feel uncomfortable.

Now, the Xiongnu and Xianbei stabbed Wuhuan, and the Wuhuan people fled. Now is the time to beat the dogs in the water, but Jia Xu said that it is the best policy to let the Wuhuan people go.

This makes Cao Cao's arrogant soldiers how can they accept it.

Cao Cao's generals had no strategic vision, but Cao Cao heard something from Jia Xu's words.

Looking at the group of generals who were shouting, Cao Cao gave them a hard look, and then angrily said: "You all shut up and let the military master finish talking."

Cao Cao still believed in the ability of the military adviser Jia Xu.

In Cao Cao's view, Jia Xu's ability is not inferior to Guo Jia's.

When Dong Zhuo was defeated, Jia Xu offered a plan to let Li Que and Guo Si occupy the capital.

Later, when Jia Xu was working under Zhang Xiu, he also defeated the strong twice with the weak, and offered advice to help Zhang Xiu defeat Cao Cao.

Therefore, Cao Cao understood that since Jia Xu said that letting the Wuhuan people go is the best policy, he must not be aimless.
