The water attack strategy may be a good plan, but there are still some differences between water attack and fire attack. In the case of a fire attack, it is usually either the city wall or the military camp that burns down, and the impact on the common people will not be too great, unless it is deliberate, and it is impossible to burn the entire city with a single fire. But if it's a water attack, it's an indiscriminate attack!

Look at the floods in later generations, once they are affected, even under the conditions of modern development, the people's lives are so difficult, let alone in ancient times. Moreover, when later generations were affected, it was usually a natural disaster, and people would try to alleviate the disaster, but now, Cao Cao is still pouring water into it. As long as Surabaya continues, this situation will only get worse and worse. Even in the end, the water level will not rise much, but the bubble alone will cause a lot of problems.

It is conceivable that at the beginning, the water suddenly attacked, although it was not much, but the people did not react, the food and firewood stored at home may be damp, and then, the water potential is getting bigger and bigger, in this era, although not all are bungalows, but ordinary people, all of them live in bungalows. So, do you soak your feet in water every day to live?

Even if the food was saved in time, it would be impossible to make a fire to cook under such circumstances. Especially those who raise pigs and poultry at home, this is a real tragedy, needless to say, these things are estimated to not survive. Not to mention the loss of the people, these dead animals are soaked in the water, no one can deal with them, and they can't be washed away. After a long time, the possibility of a plague eventually occurring is definitely too great.

When the dry food that may be left at home is eaten, what will the people eat? When the clean water at home is drunk, what will the people drink? Do you still take this filthy thing on the spot? Drink from the river water that has been soaked in everything? Even if you don't starve to death, you probably will die of disease.

All in all. The water attack strategy is a real indiscriminate attack. And it can be regarded as a "weapon of mass destruction", which may make Lu Bu's army very uncomfortable, low combat effectiveness, and lose morale, but the damage to the ordinary people in the entire Xiapi City is the greatest!

It is an exaggeration to say that once Lu Bu did not surrender immediately, once the two sides were stiffened in this state, it would be for the people in Xiapi City. This situation is estimated to be worse than the slaughter of the city. If you slaughter the city, you will die with one knife, and you will be happy with a hundred, and you don't have to live to suffer, but now, a thousand knives will cut you, and life is better than death!

If these are always enemies, then it will be miserable. Cao Cao can completely ignore it, Cao Cao has even done the slaughter of the city, how can he not dare to do this kind of thing! But don't forget, after the current Pi is beaten. This Xuzhou is finally going to become Cao Cao's territory. Doesn't Cao Cao have to appease the people, doesn't he have to buy people's hearts?

Seriously, the slaughter of the city might have been a little better. Because if you kill it, you will kill it, even if these people have to resent Cao Cao. can only go underground to resent. As for the other people in Xuzhou, they certainly complained in their hearts. Although the lips are cold, but if it is not about oneself, it will not touch the bottom line, not only in feudal society, but also in many later generations. But this time the flood is drowning, there will definitely be many people who will survive in the end, all of these people have suffered because of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao can't kill them all after the victory, right?

At that time, this group of people will probably hate Cao Cao as much as they hated the Japanese devils later. Fortunately, this is only a hatred of the individual, not a hatred of the nation, but at this stage, when he is in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao does not want any internal problems.

Therefore, as soon as Guo Jia came, he proposed to use this kind of tragic and inhumane indiscriminate attack method, in order to achieve the goal, no means are compromised, even Cao Cao thinks, will this be too extreme?

Hey, what are you looking at me for? What am I doing when I look at my master? What do you mean by that 'so bad you Guo Jia' expression! I, Guo Jia, just want to fulfill my destiny, a poor little person who compromises with fate, can I use personal attacks?!

Besides, even if you don't attack with water now, when the time comes, you still have to attack with water. At that time, everything that is facing now will not change at all, and at the beginning, so many soldiers, horses, grains and grass were wasted in vain. In addition to being a little better in my heart, I think that I am desperate and forced to do this, rather than having no humanitarian heart, although I comfort myself, but the actual effect is definitely not cost-effective compared to today!

Perhaps, the mainstream of this era is idealism, but on the battlefield, it is more suitable to talk about practical benefits and ignore false reputation. You didn't attack with water at the beginning, didn't you just be confident that you could take it down? However, it will turn out whether you are confident or arrogant!

"Lu Bu is now only left in Pi City, and we have completely cut off his back road. For Lu Bu, this is a battle against the water, and he will inevitably fight to the end. And Lu Bu transported the grain and grass to Xiapi early in the morning, and the grain in the city is estimated to last at least three months. Is this still a quick fix? Are we going to waste two months here? When the time comes, what should Yuan Shao do if he runs to fight Xu Du and force us to withdraw our troops? Isn't it like the first time I fought Xuzhou back then?! Guo Jia opened his mouth and said, "Anyway, I think that the water attack is the fastest way to break through Xiapi now, and this can also force the surrender of Xiapi City, and it can even be said that it does not cost a single soldier." You can think about it, and maybe there are any better suggestions that can be put forward. I have always thought that war itself is cruel, and that no matter what the reason, no matter how you kill, killing is killing. Maybe the words are a little unpleasant, but don't want to be a bitch and set up a torii! ”

Good guy, Guo Jia is basically saying that whoever opposes him is a bitch who wants to set up an archway! Who's doing the personal attacks?

"This, what Feng Xiao said is also reasonable. Lu Bu is bound to fight to the death now, and if there are no special circumstances, it will indeed be difficult to defeat him in a short period of time. And if this stalemate lasts for two months, and then turns around and uses this water attack strategy, it will definitely be a bit more than worth the loss. Cao Cao thought for a while and said, Cao Cao himself is a very pragmatic person, he doesn't want to make a loss-making deal, "What do you think?" Cao Cao asked, looking around.

There was silence at the scene, and no one spoke out against it.

In fact, Guo Jia's proposal is definitely very controversial, and the reason why no one on the scene objected was not that they were afraid of offending Guo Jia, but the key was the location, occasion, and person. If this topic is put on the court, a group of literati are in charge, especially Kong Rong and others, it will be strange if they don't make trouble. But now in the barracks, the scene is full of people who have been in war, are used to killing, and don't even know how many lives have died at their own hands, how can these people refute Guo Jia from the perspective of morality and other reasons, isn't that ridiculous!
