Chapter 1285 Can't tell the difference between soldiers and thieves
On the way back to Wuyuan, Cao Shu had been walking for two days.
The next evening, after the sun set, he ordered the army to station on the spot.
When Cao Shuo entered the camp, he lay down when Cai Ji's voice came from outside: "Young Master, you have captured a Hun scout."
When he heard that the Huns had been captured, Cao Shuo sat up suddenly and ordered Cai Ji: "Go and invite Mr. Jia, and then bring the Huns scouts to see me."
Cai Ji agreed.
After a while, Jia Xu came to Cao Shuo's tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Cao Shu said, "Mr. Jia, caught a Hun scout."
"I heard it!" Jia Xu said: "It's just one, it can't explain anything. We have to wait to arrest a few more to find out where the Huns set up an ambush."
"It is impossible to catch them all." Cao Shuo said: "When the Huns saw that the scouts did not return, they should change their deployment."
"Young Master will be cautious." Jia Xu smiled slightly: "No matter whether the Huns change or not, they are no longer the ones who take the initiative. If they do not change their deployment, our army can launch a surprise attack from behind, and the Huns have nowhere to escape. If they change their deployment, our army can kill head-on, and the Huns still have nowhere to escape."
"It's all about Mr. Jia's far-reaching strategy." Cao Shu said: "Actually, I have been thinking about what Mr. Jia said to me these two days, and it makes sense. I have been so smooth in recent years. There is no reason to win in any marching and war. I should be somewhat restrained."
"The young master has restrained himself." Jia Xu said: "At least I just knew to worry that the Huns would change their deployment because we captured their scouts."
"Are we Han people among the Huns?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.
"Why did the young master ask this?" Jia Xu asked back in surprise.
"I have fought with Tubei. Their tactics are single and reckless, and they are not as thoughtful as this time." Cao Shu said: "It is precisely because of this that I led my army to Hetao that I have no worries behind it."
"I haven't heard of the existence of Han people in the Xiongnu royal court." Jia Xu said: "No matter whether there are Han advisers or not among them, the young master should not look down on your opponent too much. You know, although the Huns are stupid, they are not completely brainless. Not to mention that we are dealing with the Huns, even if we are dealing with a group of wolves, the wolf will still make coordinated actions when hunting. Even if the beasts are like this, let alone humans?"
"What Jia Gong said," Cao Shuo replied: "From now on, I really want to learn from this lesson and never do anything to underestimate the enemy and advance recklessly."
"Of course it's better for the young master to think like this." Jia Xu asked: "Have you sent the message to Wuyuan City?"
"It has been sent." Cao Shuo said: "General Lu and his team led cavalry, and it is not easy for the senders to catch up with them. I'm afraid the soldiers will have to wait for the soldiers to arrive at Wuyuan City before the letter can be delivered to Tian Yuanhao."
"Tian Yuanhao was once a staff member of Hebei. He offered Yuan Shao a plan. If Yuan Shao followed his plan, the situation would be unpredictable today." Jia Xu said: "If the young master can keep him by his side, most of the big things will be."
"It's not only Tian Yuanhao under my command!" Cao Shuo grinned: "There are Pang Shiyuan, Xu Yuanzhi and others, each of them is a wise and strategic person who is good at planning..."
"It is precisely because the young master has too many capable people that he needs to deal with various matters more carefully." Jia Xu said: "Tian Yuanhao and others are all wise and strategic people. Although the wisdom and strategy in the world are the same, they can deal with the same thing, but everyone's ideas are different. However, everyone hopes that the lord can adopt his strategy. If it continues for a long time, there will definitely be one or another conflicts. The young master knows how to adjust the conflicts, but he must not indulge them in attacking each other, otherwise the more wise and considerate people, the harder it will be for the young master to achieve great things!"
"Mr. Jia is really not false to me." Cao Shuo grinned at Jia Xu, lowered his voice and asked, "To be honest, Mr. Jia said so much to me, is it because Jia Pei married me?"
"What the young master said is, I don't deny it." Jia Xu said calmly: "The only daughter married the young master. Is there anything else I can hide in front of the young master?"
"I feel relieved if you have this sentence from Jia Gong." Cao Shuo responded first, and then shouted outside the tent: "Bring the Huns scouts in here."
Cai Ji, who was waiting outside the tent, received the order and immediately led two soldiers to escort a Hun.
When he entered the tent, he was tied up like a rice dumpling. The Huns proudly turned their faces to the side, not looking at Cao Shu at all.
"Let him turn his face around." Cao Shuo ordered Cai Ji.
Cai Ji reached out and pinched the Huns' chin and twisted it hard.
The chin was almost dislocated, and the Huns subconsciously howled.
"It turns out that I'm afraid of pain," Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I thought the Huns were rough and thick in skin and didn't know what pain was."
"Ask him where the Huns planned to ambush our army?" Cao Shuo said: "And how many people they have, who will lead them?"
Cai Ji asked the Huns: "Young Master asked you, have you heard it?"
The Huns proudly turned their faces aside, not only not looking at Cao Shu, but even Cai Ji did not glance at him.
His chant of orange angered Cai Ji.
He swung his slap twice, and the Huns' cheeks were immediately beaten red.
"Say! Where are you planning to ambush our army? How many people are there? Who is the commander?" Cai Ji asked.
The Huns still didn't say anything.
Cao Shu was about to speak, Jia Xu said to Cai Ji, "He refused to say it, it must be that the punishment was used too lightly. You cut some holes on him, sprinkle salt, and then lead a sheep over."
When Jia Xu said this, the Huns looked at him in shock.
Cai Ji didn't quite understand what Jia Xu meant. He realized that the Huns looked wrong. Cao Shu said, "Do as Jia Gong wants to do it."
After receiving Cao Shu's order, Cai Ji responded.
He was about to leave the commander's tent, and the captured Huns twisted their arms hard, trying to break free from the escort of the two guards.
At the same time, he was still yelling: "If you have the courage, kill me. Those who don't kill are not good men..."
"We are not the king of the mountain." Cao Shu curled his lips and said to the Huns with contempt, "It's true that you Huns don't have brains. In the tent of the army commander, you can actually shout such words from a good man. It can be seen that you can't tell what a soldier is and what a thief is!"
The Huns were stunned by Cao Shu's words. Before he could come back to his senses, Cao Shu ordered Cai Ji again: "What are you doing while you are still stunned? Snapshot to do it according to Mr. Jia's intentions."
