Chapter 646: Brothers in adversity! Cao Cao: How can I sit by and watch Benchu be destroyed?

Jizhou

Yecheng

In the Assistant Governor's residence.

Looking at the few mountain bandit leaders standing before him, Ju Shou's face was as purple as a pig's liver.

These few mountain bandit leaders.

And the bandit soldiers under their command, totaling only over 10,000 people.

Were the total number of people recruited by Ju Shou from Jizhou and Youzhou.

That is to say.

If he hadn't seized the opportunity to kill Li Damu and absorb the 20,000 people under Li Damu's command.

This plan to recruit mountain bandits initiated by Ju Shou would have thoroughly become a joke!

However.

Even a mosquito's leg is meat.

The current Ju Shou, in order to contend with Gu Yi, had already smashed pots and sold iron, uniting all the forces that could be united.

Thinking for a moment, Ju Shou spoke to these few mountain bandit leaders:

"Gentlemen, you are all heroic figures who know the times."

"The Grand General and His Majesty will not forget you."

"Additionally, for your act of sending charcoal in snowy weather, His Majesty will reward you."

"Very soon, you will be formally enfeoffed as miscellaneous generals!"

Hearing this.

Those few mountain bandit leaders standing in front of Ju Shou, who were somewhat uneasy, suddenly had expressions of surprise appear on their faces!

In the past, they actually couldn't be called big shots in the mountain bandit world of the several provinces of Hebei.

Compared to large-scale mountain bandits like Zhang Yan and Li Damu, they were at most small characters.

And this time.

The reason they chose to accept Ju Shou's recruitment.

Was mainly holding a mentality of "hoarding goods for a high price."

Everyone knew that the current Yuan Shao was facing the risk of being destroyed by Gu Yi at any time.

But who can clearly explain things on the battlefield?

After the Battle of Changping, many people also once thought that the Zhao State, which had 400,000 soldiers buried alive, would be destroyed by the Qin State in one fell swoop.

But what about the things that happened afterward?

The Qin army commander, Bai Qi, was ordered to commit suicide at Duyou by the Qin King Ying Ji (Ying Zheng's great-grandfather).

The new Qin army commander who replaced Bai Qi, Wang He, was not without ability.

It was just that his ability compared to Bai Qi's was indeed much worse.

Furthermore.

Although the Zhao State didn't have many soldiers left who could fight.

But the Wei State's Daliang and the Han State's Xinzheng sent quite a few troops to assist the Zhao State's capital, Handan.

Ultimately, the three Jin states joined forces, and coupled with the interference of some external factors, they turned defeat into victory and repelled the Qin army.

It was precisely because of this Battle of Handan Defense that the Qin State's pace of destroying the six states was extended much further back.

And now.

The confrontation between Yuan Shao and Gu Yi is also like this.

Although most people think that Yuan Shao might soon be eliminated by Gu Yi.

But those few mountain bandit leaders who accepted Ju Shou's recruitment wanted to go against the grain.

They believed that betting on Yuan Shao would yield huge returns.

Possessing this gambler's mentality, to a certain extent, can also be considered a good thing.

Just like a certain World Cup in later generations.

Who could have thought that the Camel team, which was almost on the same level as the National Football team, could actually upset Argentina?

In that match, if one had bought the Camels to win, one could probably have earned quite a bit.

Later, many people even joked.

The Camels and the National Football team once drew one-to-one.

The Camels now upset Argentina.

Does that mean the National Football team could also defeat Argentina? (Dog head, funny)

A gambler's mentality sometimes does indeed possess the probability of making a big profit.

But... most of the time it is still inadvisable. ===== CHAPTER 647 =====
