Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 368 362. Arrangement
Seeing that Wutugu was so tactful, Feng Xi naturally would not embarrass him anymore. He just praised Wutugu for his sense of justice, and then invited Wutugu and Xi Ni to taste the cooking method that the Han army had just improved.

For authentic barbarians like Wutugu and Xini, the taste of this kind of food, which is filled with the fragrance of animal fats and wild vegetables, and the refreshing taste of meat and vegetables, is something they have never tasted in their lives.

The two men themselves did not know much about the etiquette of the Han army, so they just went right into it and started eating voraciously, without any regard for manners or face.

The Han army generals did not take this seriously. After all, they knew that Wutugu was essentially a barbarian, and his behavior was consistent with the stereotype.

"The person who deserves the most credit for this war must be the military commander Deng Ai. Do you have any opinions?"

After the trial of Wutugu, it was time for Feng Xi's Han army to reward their meritorious officers.

The generals looked at each other, and none of them had many opinions. Everyone knew Feng Xi well. If he really wanted to discuss, he would not use this tone. The current posture clearly indicated that Deng Ai had been appointed. However, considering that Deng Ai had done a lot, the generals had no objection to this.

"Thank you...thank you, General, for your kindness...love."

Deng Ai stood up and still spoke with a stuttering tone, but Feng Xi could tell that Deng Ai's stuttering had indeed become less severe. Compared to his previous stuttering, he only spoke with pauses now.

It seems that as time goes by, when Deng Ai builds up his confidence and resolves all the knots in his heart, his stuttering will be much better.

Feng Xi nodded. Ever since he knew that Wuguo was coming, he had made a plan. First, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao only brought 6,000 people to fight against the rattan armor army. The two of them were defeated at the first blow, which immediately left the Wuguo soldiers with the impression that "the combat effectiveness of the Han army is not that high.

As mentioned before, no matter what most people say, humans basically follow the most simple value of "seeing is believing".

Therefore, although Meng Huo described the Han army to Wutugu, Tu'an and Xini in a very exaggerated way before the war, this great battle made the people of the Wuguo Kingdom doubt it.

Because Meng Huo's performance was so bad, it was so bad that Wutugu felt that Meng Huo's words had no reference value.

It's like asking people to evaluate the difficulty of the test paper. If you ask the worst student in the class, he won't be able to give you an answer, because he can't understand it in the first place. Whether the test paper is difficult, one thousand or ten thousand, it all looks the same to him.

There is also an important effect in psychology called the "anchoring effect."

The content of the anchoring effect is very simple, that is, people's first impression often determines their subsequent perception of a certain thing or person.

For example, as a person with normal values, if you see a person with a Mohawk hairstyle, dyed yellow hair, a nose stud, wearing a T-shirt with a skull pattern, wearing sunglasses, crossing his legs and picking his nose, the normal reaction of a normal person is to stay away from him, because this kind of person is obviously a trouble maker.

Even if someone later tells you that he is a good person with a kind heart, most people will not be willing to improve or correct their first impression unless they encounter extremely serious changes, such as betrayal or other situations.

Anchored is the way to describe this first impression, which is like an anchor, nailed firmly in the sea and difficult to move at all.

Unfortunately, under Feng Xi's deliberate arrangement, the Han army used the anchoring effect everywhere, giving Wutugu many illusions.

The ambitious general and the cowardly Han army were weak in combat. Wutugu's army lost itself in this winning streak. If Cao Wei faced such a situation, it would definitely be on guard. Because Cao Wei's "anchor" had been set long ago, it would not be so easily deceived by the Han army.

Unfortunately, Wutugu was just a barbarian. He did not understand these profound principles and had never thought about the existence of such a thing as strategic fraud. As a result, Wutugu stepped step by step into the trap set by the Han army.

After Wutugu failed to capture the Han army camp for the first time, Feng Xi began to think about how to expose a flaw in Wutugu's plan.

Food and grass were just one of the possibilities, because Feng Xi had no way of being sure whether Wutugu, a barbarian, with his poor brain, could think of cutting off the food supply, which was the most basic tactic in the eyes of the Han people.

For this purpose, Feng Xi had many plans in mind, such as acting as bait himself, pretending to be defeated, and luring the soldiers of the Ugo Kingdom into a narrow gap.

Or he could let Bao Feng pretend to be defeated by Wutugu, and "just happened" to escape into the narrow gap under his own arrangement.

Or he could take the initiative to expose the narrow gap and tell Wutugu openly that there was a large amount of Han army supplies inside.

In short, Feng Xi had a lot of plans in mind. He had deliberately created an impression for Bao Feng that he was "the most capable general of the Han army" in order to ensure the smooth implementation of these plans.

Feng Xi even had a self-torture plan, in which he asked Bao Feng to deliberately reveal the Yixiantian plan to Wutugu, but unfortunately, Wutugu was smart in the end and saved him a lot of trouble.

But Feng Xi had no time to deploy the defense at Yixiantian because he, Bao Feng and other main actors had to continue to strengthen the impression they deliberately created for the Rattan Armor Army, which made Feng Xi himself unable to do anything.

There is no other way. He has to be a good commander-in-chief with great ambitions but little talent. He cannot leave without permission or show up without showing up.

As for Zhang Bao, although he has a lot of brains now, he is still not up to the requirements of Feng Xi and is not up to the task. Guan Xing is similar, he can only be said to be much better than Zhang Bao, but also limited.

After much thought, the only person in the Han army who could take on this important task was Deng Ai. In addition, Deng Ai had rarely shown his face before, and Wutugu was completely unaware of his existence, so even if Deng Ai disappeared, Wutugu would not be able to detect it.

Because his eyes were only on Zhang Bao, Bao Feng, Feng Xi and other prominent figures in the Han army.

In addition, although Deng Ai is still young, he has followed Feng Xi for two years and is relatively familiar with many of Feng Xi's ideas. Therefore, Feng Xi only told Deng Ai the mission objectives and the effects he wanted, and let him arrange them on his own. He never cared about the situation in Yixiantian again.

How much did Feng Xi trust Deng Ai? He asked most of the Shenwu Camp soldiers and some ordinary Han soldiers to follow Deng Ai to make arrangements. This is why the main force of Wutugu and Tuan's rattan armor army was almost annihilated by the Han army.

Because they were facing the Shenwu Battalion, which had the most advanced tactical thinking and equipment.

On the other hand, at the Han army camp, Feng Xi only left a small number of soldiers from the Shenwu Camp to perform together with the ordinary Han army for Xi Ni and the others to see.
