The book is followed last time.

Five days later, early in the morning, Cao Cao's mansion.

"My brother Xingzhi, the prisoners had arrived in Jizhou yesterday.

Brother Wei went to see it and found that they were not like the virtuous brother Xingzhi said. Instead, there were many strong people!

Is it a bit inappropriate to hand over these people to the aristocratic family?" Cao Cao looked at Li Zhi in front of him and asked worriedly.

"What's the right thing to do..." Li Zhi shrugged indifferently and said, "A mistake will lead to one gain!

Since Brother Meng De wants the aristocratic family to solve the problems of the princes for you, they must have the strength!"

"I understand the truth, but I still feel a little worried!" Cao Cao frowned and said with a sad face: "A few days ago, the families were planning rebellion before they got these troops.

If it weren't for Xingzhi's sudden attack that shocked them, they might have rebelled immediately after they got these troops.

Although they were shocked by Xingzhi's brothers, who knew if they would have some different thoughts after they got these soldiers and their strength suddenly soared."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at the distance and said melancholy: "I gave these men and horses to help them solve the affairs of the princes for me. But if the affairs of the princes were not resolved, they became a big problem!"

"There is nothing to do about this..." Li Zhi looked at the worried Cao Cao, shook his head helplessly, and smiled bitterly: "If the strength of the aristocratic family is not strong, how can he deal with the princes?

Therefore, Brother Meng De can only send a large army to guard the important areas to shock the aristocratic families and let them know that even if they rebel, there will be no result!

This way they can curb their ambitions.”

After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Brother Xingzhi, did we plan at the beginning to wait until the aristocratic family owns troops and then tell the princes the news that the aristocratic family intends to suffer both losses, so that the princes dare not disturb the situation because they are afraid of both losses.

Since that's the case, why don't we just lie that the aristocratic family already has the strength to lose both sides with the princes?

In this way, not only will the matters of the princes be solved, but there is no need to give troops from aristocratic families, wouldn’t it be a killing two birds with one stone?”

"Brother Meng De, what do you think of the princes?" Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how bad the princes are, they should not be underestimated!

The princes who survived to this day have gone through layers of hardships, and each one is not easy to share!

Each of them has their own information channels. Can you still not know if there are any soldiers in the aristocratic families?

Besides, the aristocratic family originally wanted to have soldiers and horses. If Brother Meng De wanted to deceive the princes, the aristocratic family would definitely secretly tell the princes that they had no soldiers and horses, so as to force Brother Meng De to hand over the soldiers to the aristocratic family!

So please don’t make any more troubles, and just give the prisoners to the aristocratic family honestly.”

“…”

"Oh..." Cao Cao sighed helplessly after being silent for a while, nodded and said, "Things can only be done now."

After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Li Zhi and asked: "Brother Xingzhi, why did you choose less than 100,000 people after capturing the nearly one million troops of the aristocratic family?

It’s okay for those old, weak, women and children. Can’t those strong people get into the eyes of virtuous brothers?”

"Soldiers are in spirit but not in broad

.” Li Zhi, who has always pursued the elite military policy, shook his head and said, "Although we have only drawn less than 100,000 people, these 100,000 people are the elite among the elites!

With just a little training, you can form a very terrifying army!

If we add the steel armor we equipped them with, these 100,000 troops are enough to compare with a million troops!

As for the strengths that Brother Meng De mentioned..."

After saying this, Li Zhi shook his head with a strange face and said with a laugh and cry: "Brother Meng De may have misunderstood. Although those strong people look very strong, their personalities are very cowardly!"

"Cowardly?!" Cao Cao asked in surprise after hearing Li Zhi's words: "This is unlikely. No matter how much those people have experienced the battle on the battlefield, and they are strong, how can they be cowardly?"

In Cao Cao's opinion, the stronger the person is, the more aggressive he is. Just like those generals, the higher the force, the more irritable he has.

And a person who has a strong system and fought on the battlefield is absolutely irrelevant to cowardice!

So when he heard Li Zhi say that those strong people were very cowardly, Cao Cao didn't believe it!

"I don't believe it, but that's the truth!" Li Zhi smiled bitterly and recalled: "After capturing nearly one million troops, he selected about 200,000 to 300,000 strong people.

Originally, the Hou planned to select 100,000 of them as the main combat power, while the remaining 100,000 and 200,000 were used as the reserve combat power.

But after selecting, I found a weakness of these slave soldiers!

They have been enslaved for a long time and have become enslaved in their hearts. Even those who are strong in their bodies are slow to speak when they speak, fearing that they will offend others!

Moreover, when facing those people with a slightly noble status, they were even more humble to the soil, wishing they could stuff their heads under the feet of others!”

"Oh..." Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed long and shook his head helplessly, "I am really worried about such people, so I can only remove them from it.

Fortunately, some people became slaves shortly after they became slaves and still had some blood in their hearts, so they barely selected less than 100,000 troops.

If those slaves from aristocratic families were all composed of slaves from generation to generation, I am afraid that even a soldier who was satisfied with him would not be able to choose from!"

"..." After hearing Li Zhidi's words, Cao Cao was silent.

If those strong people are really as Li Zhi said, and their slavery has penetrated deeply into their hearts, then these people are really not suitable to become an army.

Because a qualified soldier, although he needs to obey orders, he must not have servile nature in his heart!

Otherwise, this army would easily be defeated!

After thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a little regretful, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if those slaves were really like Li Zhi said, it would be no big deal if the aristocratic family recruited them all!

A slavish army, Cao Cao can defeat it with just tens of thousands of people!

Just as Cao Cao and Li Zhi were talking about the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family was also happily talking about their troops under their command.

"Hahahaha... Then the Luoyang Marquis is really a false reputation!

He actually didn't even want those very obedient and extremely strong slaves, so he only selected some unruly people.

From this we can see that the results of Luoyang Marquis were just bragging about by others!”

"This is a bad word!" After hearing this, the head of the Zhou family frowned and said, "Although we are enemies with the Marquis of Luoyang, we cannot deliberately belittle the enemy.

This will easily make me feel underestimated and suffer a great loss!

Although Li Zhi hadn't acted several times, every time he acted, he could be called earth-shaking, and his record was even rare!

So, although I don’t know why he didn’t attack those gentle and strong people, I think he must have his purpose!”

This is the gap between literati and military generals!

These aristocratic families have never commanded the army. In their opinion, strong and docile soldiers are the best soldiers!

Therefore, those slavish soldiers who were abandoned by Li Zhi were treasures in the eyes of the aristocratic family!

They had no idea that when the two armies faced each other on the battlefield, they were not who was strong in their bodies, but who was stronger in their willpower!

The best army is a strong will and fearless army!

Although their servile army looks very powerful on the surface.

But when it really starts, this army will show great courage and strength in the battle.

But once adversity comes, the army will be defeated by the enemy in an instant!

"Okay, don't argue anymore!" Seeing that the head of Zhou and another head of the family had argued, Yuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "No matter what Li Zhi's plan is, it has nothing to do with us!

Now the most important thing for us is to integrate this army and train them to become elite troops!

Only in this way can we have the capital to build on the world!”

Speaking of this, he glanced at everyone and asked, "As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!

If a force is strong, you must have a qualified general. Who can recommend it?"

"This..." After hearing the words of the head of the Yuan family, everyone looked at each other and remained silent.

They really don’t have any suitable candidates for military leadership!

The battle with Li Zhi in the first battle captured all the people under their command who could compete for good at fighting!

Li Zhi was not ruthless either. After capturing the middle and lower-level generals of the aristocratic family, Li Zhi immediately sent someone to surrender.

When they surrendered, Li Zhi asked them to start with small soldiers.

Those who do not surrender...

That's not said, one cut and two pieces!

So, let alone a general, even a qualified lieutenant cannot choose a family!

"Oh..." Seeing this, the head of the Yuan family rubbed his temples with headache, and his face was full of helplessness.

He actually knew that the aristocratic family can now select many civil officials, but military generals...

Not one!

However, even without military generals, they can't watch the hundreds of thousands of troops abandoned, right?

So, after a while, the head of the Yuan family asked, "Who has the younger generation in your family who are familiar with military books?"
