The Zhuozhou army frequently acted strangely. Cao Cao was in the marching team and repeatedly experienced the tactics of the Zhuozhou army.

Cao Cao saw that Huangfu Song was so angry that he couldn't move, and he was gnashing his teeth. Cao Cao stepped forward to comfort him, "General, don't worry, this is the Zhuozhou army's way of weakening the enemy, and it will not damage our foundation."

What he said sounded nice, but it just made the war horses and animals startle again and again. Of course, it didn't damage the fundamentals, but it was really hard to swallow.

Huangfu Song snorted coldly and looked at Cao Cao, "Meng De, you are so resourceful. You can think of countermeasures and kill the spirit of his Zhuozhou army."

The officers and soldiers had been surrounded and turned into turtles in a urn. Huangfu Songfei still wanted to fight, but he still refused to accept it.

Cao Cao slightly urged his horses to keep pace with Huangfu Song.

After Cao Cao thought for a while, he bowed his hands to Huangfu Song and said, "We have a plan, but I don't know whether to use it properly or not."

Huangfu Song waved his hand and said, "It's okay to say it."

Cao Cao then said, "We encountered a fierce tiger on the road ahead. The general drew his sword and struck it..."

It was really hard to pick up any pot. Huangfu Song immediately glared at Cao Cao displeasedly and said, "Meng De, can't you entertain me?"

"How dare you!" Cao Cao said quickly.

Then, Cao Cao secretly glanced behind him. After turning his head, he leaned towards Huangfu Song and whispered, "The morale of the army is low now, and we must focus on raising morale. There was a fierce tiger on the road just now, and the soldiers

Many people know that there are tigers, and many people know that generals draw their swords to attack tigers. Those who know the truth are the only ones who know the truth.

The general might as well spread the word about this matter, and I think the sergeants in the army will be high-spirited when they hear about the general's courage."

"General, you might as well do this, this..."

Cao Cao's plan had been revealed, and Huangfu Song was very surprised.

Huangfu Song knew very well what a tiger was like. Zhuozhou's army threw a fake tiger into a ditch and failed to shoot the tiger. However, he was almost blinded by a broken bow and lost his life.

However, Cao Cao also said that he could use this incident to boost morale.

Huangfu Song didn't even have the shame to make such a fuss. Huangfu Song didn't even know why Cao Cao was so thick-skinned and why he was so shameless...

Although he has no shame, there is no doubt that Cao Cao's strategy is very good. Not only is it very good, but it is also clever at turning the enemy into his own advantage.

The Zhuozhou Army could not have imagined that the fake tiger they had put so much effort into making would actually help the army in the end.

Huangfu Song reluctantly asked Cao Cao to make preparations.

Cao Cao took the order and went.

Later, Cao Cao sent people to deliberately spread the news, saying that he encountered a fierce tiger on the road a moment ago, and General Huangfu Song used his bow to shoot at the tiger. As a result, General Huangfu's supernatural power broke the hard bow with too much force. When he was in desperation, General Huangfu drew his sword and threw the tiger at it.

, a sword hit the tiger's throat, killing a huge tiger with an eye-catching white forehead.

In short, Cao Cao compiled the story based on the allusion of Li Guang shooting the tiger. Cao Cao also had some literary literacy, and the story he compiled was very pleasant.

What is said is true, and Huangfu Song's bravery is set off as unrivaled.

Soon, "rumors" began to spread among the officers and soldiers.

In fact, before Cao Cao's operation, there were already rumors in the army's marching team. The rumor was that when Huangfu Song shot the tiger, the people in front of the team passed the information to the back.

The previous rumor was——

"What's going on up front?"

"I heard it's a tiger."

"tiger?"

"It seems to be a fake tiger."

…

In short, the marching line of the official army was too long, and what happened in the front was incomprehensible to those behind.

After Cao Cao's "rumors", the rumors in the army changed.

"Tell me, what a fake tiger! Our general shot a real tiger to death!" An officer and soldier walking with a gun proudly said to others, "Tsk, our general is very energetic at his age.

, it is said that if two people pull this bow together, can it be broken?"

Others also lamented Huangfu Song's bravery.

Some people were confused and asked, "Isn't it a fake tiger? Did you see that fake tiger on the roadside?"

Others immediately rolled their eyes and said, "Our general can kill real tigers, but fake tigers are afraid of balls!"

"Zou said, I'm afraid of a ball!"

The officers and soldiers nearby laughed.

Cao Cao is indeed good at using people's hearts. In the future, Cao Cao can come up with ways to control people's hearts, boost morale, and control the morale of the army.

In this battle with the Zhuozhou Army, Cao Cao's ability to make good use of people's hearts has been highlighted.

The morale of the officers and soldiers was really high after Cao Cao's lies.

On the side of the avenue, Li Mengxi and Zhang Fei followed the marching troops of the army, always on guard against any change in the army, and immediately ordered an encirclement and killing.

Inexplicably, Li Mengxi discovered something had changed in the army.

He stared suspiciously at the marching ranks of the officers and soldiers, and at the marching officers and soldiers.

Then, Li Mengxi saw that the officers and soldiers were joking?

He was waiting for a declining army. Shouldn't all the soldiers be downcast and frowning? The officers and soldiers had such low morale before, why would anyone laugh now?

Feeling very confused, Li Mengxi came closer to take a closer look. When he looked closer, he saw that the officers and soldiers were really joking.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but be curious, so he rode over and followed a group of officers and soldiers who were chatting lively.

Li Mengxi asked the officers and soldiers, "Hey, brothers, what are you talking about?"

The officers and soldiers looked up and saw that they were from the Zhuozhou Army. The officers and soldiers stopped talking and looked at Li Mengxi coldly.

Li Mengxi had no idea that people were annoying him, but he still followed them with a playful smile and asked, "What are we talking about? We are just joking."

"Your general said he rewarded you with wine and meat?"

"Or are you being rewarded for military merit?"

"Or do you want to reward you with a beautiful wife?"

In the crowd, a ferocious officer and soldier snorted coldly at Li Mengxi, "Humph, our General Huangfu killed a ferocious tiger.

The tiger can kill you, so what do you, the Zhuozhou Army, have to fear! Don’t be complacent, General Huangfu will meet you sooner or later!"

Although each was his own master, Li Mengxi immediately admired the ambition of this little pawn.

It's just that something's not right.

What tiger...

When did Huangfu Song kill the ferocious tiger?

In doubt, Li Mengxi asked the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers showed off and told Li Mengxi carefully about General Huangfu's feat of killing tigers with flying swords.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After listening, Li Mengxi was stunned on the spot.

After a while, when the officers and soldiers walked away, "Fuck!" Li Mengxi said, "Fuck!"

Li Mengxi was very depressed. He felt that he was being taken advantage of.

I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.

After all, Huangfu Song was a general of the imperial court, and he had a really good head. It was obvious that Huangfu, the old man, was tormented by a fake tiger, but he was so shameless that he took advantage of his plan and openly publicized Yang's plan to kill the tiger.

Li Mengxi could even guess Huangfu Song's purpose of doing this. It would embolden the soldiers and the general's heroic deeds would boost morale.

Human Emperor Fusong could be so thick-skinned and talk about embarrassing things in a very bright and eloquent way. Li Mengxi really learned from this and was really enlightened.

It turns out that lies can still be used in this way.

Li Mengxi immediately thought of many ways to manipulate the morale of the army. He even thought of Cao Cao's method of looking at plum blossoms to quench his thirst. If Li Mengxi knew that the strategy of defeating the generals and the army was thought up by Cao Cao, I wonder what Li Mengxi would think.

In this secret confrontation about military morale, Li Mengxi and Cao Cao were equally victorious.

Cao Cao was victorious by taking advantage of Li Mengxi's tiger attack method to strengthen the morale of his officers and soldiers.

Li Mengxi's victory lies in the fact that he clearly understood from Cao Cao's strategy that although trust is the most important thing in running an army, sometimes appropriate lies can also be of great use.

For example, looking for plums to quench thirst, where are the plums?

For example, when the army rations are running out, the soldiers are deceived into thinking that the rations will arrive soon.

In such a situation, relying on the truth will destabilize the morale of the military, while lying can stabilize the morale of the military.

However, Li Mengxi also felt that a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. It takes a thousand days to build up trust, but only a moment to destroy trust.

To run an army by deceit, the next strategy is to use it only as a last resort. There is no need to use deceit to rule the army, let alone to control people's hearts.

Liu Xuande once said a very good saying, treat others with sincerity, and others will treat me with sincerity; treat others with humility, and others will treat me with humility.

There is a scale in people's hearts. No matter how clever or deceitful the tactics are, a true soldier cannot measure his level in his heart. Is it possible that all true soldiers are fools?

Standing beside the horse road, Li Mengxi thought to himself that there was no need to use the method of looking at plum trees to quench thirst. There was really a plum grove in front of him, so he told the soldiers that there was a plum grove in front of him. The soldiers ran not far, and they saw the plum grove, and then ate happily. This is a word of faith.

After thinking about it, Li Mengxi set off and headed forward.

The two men who would be able to dominate the world in the future, Li Mengxi and Cao Cao, had already competed without knowing it. Li Mengxi won by a little bit. He was better than Li Mengxi because he valued trust over deceit. He was better than Li Mengxi.
