Yuan Shao was born very well since he was a child, and after Dong Zhuo was chaotic in Beijing, he also became a prince of the party. Although he had little ability, he was not satisfied with being a prince, and he believed that the yuan surname originated from Chen, and the Chen surname was from Shun,So he thought that he wanted to obey the will of Heaven and take the jade seal Jianyuan as emperor. Plus at that time, it was rumored that "The Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao!" In this sentence, Yuan Shu thought that he was talking about himself. In this way, in 197 AD, when the system was established and hundreds of officials were set up, Yuan Shu excitedly ascended the throne and sat on the throne.
But at this time, the world is divided everywhere, and many princes occupy the land as kings, who will obey you Yuan Shu as emperor? The so-called gun shot the head bird, and Yuan Shu soon became the target of everyone's attack. Among them, Cao Cao would not let him go, and in order to destroy Yuan Shu, he personally led an army of 170,000 to attack Shouchun. However, the two armies held each other for a long time, and did not distinguish between victory and defeat, Cao Cao wanted to fight quickly, but Yuan Shu avoided fighting, because the expedition had limited grain and grass, and cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops were almost out of food.
Cao Cao began to become very anxious, so he called the grain officer to the tent: "How long can the soldiers support the grain?" Grain Officer: "I'm afraid it's only enough for a day or two!" Cao Cao: "Don't let this matter go out, you will find a way to let the soldiers eat for three days no matter what!" Grain Officer: "It seems that only a smaller grain bucket can be used to distribute grain!" Cao Cao gladly acquiesced.
But then something happened, and the soldiers realized that there was less food now than before, and the most important thing was that there was not enough to eat now, and they were hungry before it was time for meals. Many soldiers began to complain and complain: "There is no food to eat, how can this go to battle to kill the enemy?" In short, the generals of the whole army began to panic, at this time they did not mention any combat effectiveness, the only thing they wanted to do was to eat enough, and the matter of conquest and killing the enemy had long been forgotten.
Cao Cao knew that things had developed very seriously, and it was time to call the grain officer again. After receiving the order, the grain officer came to Cao Cao's military tent worriedly, and Cao Cao asked: "Now that the generals are complaining continuously, how do you think you should stabilize the hearts of the army?" Grain Officer: "Returning to the Chancellor, the subordinate officer doesn't know!" Cao Cao: "Then I'm going to borrow something from you, but I don't know if you want to?" The grain officer was puzzled: "What is there that the lower official deserves to be borrowed by the Minister?" Cao Cao laughed: "Such a thing can only be borrowed from you!" ”
Grain Officer: "Please make it clear to the Minister, the lower official will do his best!" Cao Cao glanced at him, "That human head on your shoulder!" Wang Yuan was stunned: "Ah! Humble ... I didn't make a mistake, so why did the prime minister want to kill me? Cao Cao: "Because without your human head, you can't stabilize the hearts of the army!" ”
After saying this, Cao Cao asked the guards to drag him out and behead him for public display, and the grain official Wang Gao cried all the way and was wronged, but it was useless to shout and break his throat. Subsequently, he hung his head high in front of the tent and ordered the three armies: "The grain officer Wang Gao is greedy for military food, and has now been beheaded by the minister!" In this way, Cao Cao used this trick to stabilize the hearts of more than a hundred thousand soldiers, and the soldiers all thought that it was the grain officer's fault that caused them to not have enough to eat every day, and now that the grain officer was killed and punished, they stopped complaining in an instant, and their morale began to rise again. In the end, Cao Cao made an encouraging speech in front of the army, and the generals were like chicken blood, many times stronger than before, so they fought a big victory, got a lot of grain and grass, and the grain problem was solved!
Although Cao Cao's methods were somewhat despicable, he had to admire his wisdom and save more than 100,000 troops with one person's life. Imagine, without the sacrifice of the grain officers, the soldiers would be scattered in the sand, completely incapacitated, and I am afraid that most of them would be wiped out by the enemy army!
