Zhao Feng groaned for a moment.

I think Tian Feng's statement is quite in the past.

Because Cao Cao couldn't afford to support these people, and he didn't want these people to continue to pay taxes to Tao Qian, he slaughtered them all in one go.

After all, like Zhao Feng, there are only a few princes who have always kept grain stocks, and there are few in the entire Han Dynasty.

If you really want to count.

In addition, Liu Yu in Youzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou are relatively sufficient for food.

There is also the future Jingzhou Liu Biao.

As for Cao Cao, according to Zhao Feng's image, he will have been short of food for several years.

Come to think of it.

Zhao Feng suddenly said, "I just thought of it. ”

Then I said what I had just thought of.

"If my prediction is correct, this means that Cao Cao has little confidence in taking Xuzhou!"

"Because, if Cao Cao has the confidence to take Xuzhou."

"There is no need to slaughter these people."

"Only Cao Cao himself has no confidence in conquering Xuzhou, so he will slaughter the people to reduce Xuzhou's grain taxes in the coming year!"

Tian Feng pondered for a while: "The lord said this, it seems that there is a little truth. ”

"However, has the lord considered another thing?"

"It's sacrificing heaven and earth!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng was taken aback.

The idea of sacrificing heaven and earth was originally told to Zhao Feng by the old immortal of Nanhua.

If Cao Cao really went to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people for the so-called sacrifice to heaven and earth, it would be too ruthless.

According to Zhao Feng's understanding over the years, and some of the things he saw in his innate ability in the awakened state.

When killing an opposing soldier, heaven and earth will respond with a special energy.

This kind of energy can awaken a person's talent.

In another way, when slaughtering the people and sacrificing heaven and earth, heaven and earth should also feedback this special ability.

It is understood according to the game of the afterlife.

It is to treat soldiers and civilians as experience points.

And Cao Cao's move is to slaughter a large number of people to make his generals wake up quickly!

Zhao Feng rubbed his temples.

Because Zhao Feng was frightened by Tian Feng's statement.

This idea is terrible.

If the more people know, what way will the people live in the future?

However, Zhao Feng faintly felt that this statement should also be reliable.

Otherwise, the future generations will not argue.

Why is it that in just a few decades, the Han Dynasty has gone from a maximum population of more than 50 million to the census after the usurpation of the Sima family, and only less than 8 million people have died.

Since there is a debate about this in later generations, it must be that there are too many unreasonable places.

Then the respective versions of the explanations were released.

For example, the most acceptable one is that many people have been anonymously captive by the family.

These anonymous people are not required to pay taxes.

In the second census of the Jin Kingdom, the population reached more than 10 million.

Zhao Feng didn't think much of it before.

But even if only 10 million people die.

This data still shows that the number of deaths is still too much.

Because there are people with a heart, take the most humiliating historical data of New China to talk about things.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese population was much less, and the second civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was played by millions of troops at every turn, and how many people died in the end.

After a few years of famine, how many people died.

In terms of the total number of deaths, the number of people who experienced these disasters but died was still not as large as the total population at the end of the Han Dynasty.

If you use percentages to calculate, it's even more different.

Tian Feng saw Zhao Feng's face change slightly, and he also felt that this conjecture was too scary.

Then he waved at Zhao Feng: "Of course, it may also be Tao Qian, in order to let the Xuzhou army and people resist Cao Cao's atrocities together." ”

"Deliberately send his subordinates to slaughter his own people, and then blame Cao Cao for this!"

After hearing this, Zhao Feng shook his head, saying that he didn't agree with this statement.

Although this statement is also possible, it is not very feasible.

You must know that now, except for Zhao Feng, because he has more grain in stock, and at the beginning, there was a military law, which strictly forbade soldiers to rob the common people after entering the city.

The other princes, after conquering the city, plundered for three days.

And Tao Qian can also take this opportunity to deliberately create this kind of massacre.

Therefore, this kind of thing is still possible.

It's just that this kind of thing, Cao Cao will find out sooner or later.

When the time comes, once it is announced, Tao Qian's reputation will be completely ruined.

This does not conform to Zhao Feng's evaluation of Tao Qian in later generations.

This is the reason why Zhao Feng feels that the feasibility is not high.

Tian Feng saw Zhao Feng shaking his head, and he didn't continue to express his opinions.

Zhao Feng pondered for a while: "Let's just pay attention to the affairs of Xuzhou." ”

Because Zhao Feng had an image, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou several times.

It's just that he has attacked a few times, and Zhao Feng is not clear.

Anyway, when he attacked Xuzhou at a certain time, he was copied by Lu Bu.

Tian Feng waved his head: "Oh! ”

Zhao Feng nodded: "Is there any other news?" ”

Tian Feng shook his head: "The places are still the same as before, and there is no special progress. ”

Tian Feng means that Qingzhou Zhang Yan and Tian Kai are still at war, and there is no winner or loser.

There is no other movement in Youzhou for the time being.

At least Yan Rou has not led the Wuhuan army to attack Youzhou.

On the side of Shangdang County, there was no special war.

In other words, on the side of Shangdang County, the winner has not yet been decided.

Zhao Feng waved his hand: "Okay." ”

"There's nothing else, Yuan Hao will go down and deal with other matters."

Tian Feng waved his head: "Oh! ”

With that, he turned around and exited the hall.

In a flash, three days passed.

In the past three days, Yuan Shao still did not attack.

Zhao Feng, Tian Feng and others estimated that Yuan Shao had made up his mind to hold back Zhao Feng's main force.

As long as Zhao Feng does not move, Yuan Shao will not make other movements.

this day.

Tian Feng walked into the hall and waved at Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi!" ”

"I just received a letter for help from Xuzhou Mu Taoqian."

"In addition, there is also a document sent by Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao."

After speaking, Tian Feng handed over the two documents with both hands.

Xiong Da was very conscious, walked up to Tian Feng, took the two documents, and then handed them to Zhao Feng.

These two instruments, although they are called documents.

But there is still a big difference with Zhao Feng's documents.

The document on Zhao Feng's side is the outside of the wood chip, wrapped in silk cloth, and then the two pieces of wood are put together, similar to the folds of later generations.

It's just that in the middle of the place where you need to write, use a small piece of white silk.

It looks like it's several notches higher.

Moreover, it is also convenient to keep secrets.

In case the person who delivered the document encountered an accident, he could directly tear off the white silk full of words and tear it up, or swallow it.

And the documents sent by Cao Cao and Tao Qian are still made of bamboo slips.

Secrecy can only be sealed with a bamboo tube!
