Okay, think about the matter again and see if you can find a way to achieve the same or similar effect without having to bear the infamy. So, Guo Jia's head suddenly flashed. The fundamental problem of this incident is actually the fact that the grain official is innocent. The grain official clearly followed your Guo Jia's instructions, so he deducted the grain and prevented the soldiers from eating. In the end, you cut off the head of the grain official. This is definitely much more than destroying the bridge across the river. But if the grain official himself has problems, what if he is not innocent?

Although Guo Jia also knew that there were still many good officials and many honest officials in this era, but if the poor like grain officials deal with the economic lifeline of these eras all day long, can they still be clean? Even if they dare not do anything in the army, all kinds of small problems should exist. Those who are a little timid will leave the good for themselves and the bad for others. Those who are a little slick will give him more or give him good for others. Those who are a little smarter will exchange coarse grains for refined grains. The huge amount of grains in the army is just exchanged for that little bit, and the coarse grains will almost never be discovered even if they are mixed into the fine grains. As long as it is not too much, soldiers will not be able to eat them. If Guo Jia himself is a grain official, he may use such a method. Of course, there are also bold ones, that is, to steal military grains and sell them directly.

Whether it is bold or timid, eating and taking truant is a kind of corruption, using power for personal gain, and taking bribes. If you want to add a crime, you have no worries, let alone having problems to challenge. How many people in this world are truly clean? Including Xun Yu, he dare not pat his chest to ensure that he is completely innocent. If he just keeps himself alone, it would be fine, but for the sake of his own family's interests, may he not use power for personal gain?

Compared to the time when Cao Cao was about to come, he had to force him. Now Guo Jia, the food and grass supported by Sun Ce have not arrived yet, which means he still has relatively enough time to prepare. With a little guidance, a wave of anti-corruption will be set off in the civilian camps, and then he deliberately sent some undercover agents to clarify some of the problems of the grain officials, so that the grain officials will become the focus of public opinion and the center of the contradiction. In this way, if Guo Jia kills the grain officials later, he will not only not be uttered by others, but also gain the huge hearts of the people.

Cao Cao's problem was that it was too sudden. There was no sign of warning before. Everyone thought that this grain official was good, and this grain official had never let the soldiers hungry. As a result, it suddenly came and suddenly lowered the supply of food and grass to a range that everyone could notice. And it was normal to do such things during the sensitive period when the military ration was about to be exhausted. Is this normal? Is it possible? Is the grain official crazy?

Normal corrupt officials should know that in this case, they must not do anything randomly. They should steal when there is enough food and grass. They should only be a little less when they are short of weight. They should not do it too obvious and cannot be discovered. Only fools will suddenly steal food in large quantities when they are short of food. Can fools be considered grain officials? Guo Jia can't even make one. This person has indirect mental illness, which is an excuse for passionate crime. Will anyone believe this in this era?

So, now that there is such a long time to pave the way. Isn’t it easy for Guo Jia to kill a small grain official for granted?!

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait a minute! Guo Jia suddenly realized that he seemed to have been thinking the wrong direction, and he seemed to have overlooked a very important fundamental question. That is why he wanted to kill the grain official? Is there any necessary connection between the two when Cao Cao killed the grain official and Cao Cao's final victory?

Well, it is undeniable that the use of grain officials has a delayed time effect, which has only supported three or five days of food and grass, but in the end it lasted for seven or eight days. But don’t forget that humans are not machines. When soldiers lack food and food, cannot eat enough, and are full of resentment, they have no fighting spirit or combat effectiveness at all.

According to Guo Jia's understanding of Cao Cao, in this state, Cao Cao would never consume his troops in vain. In other words, during the period when he was not full, all the soldiers must have stayed in the camp to fight Qiufeng and did not attack the city. Of course, with the current battle situation, Yuan Shu would never dare to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, even if the camp was full of a group of soft soldiers, there was no big problem.

However, in this way, the use of grain officials and borrowing grain officials' heads can play any role in addition to delaying time? Not only does it have any beneficial effects, but it even produces side effects, because not only does the soldiers starve and make the soldiers unhappy, but there is no effective attack at all during the period when the soldiers are starving. What is that not wasting food in vain? So it is better to let the soldiers eat enough and continue to attack the city.

Could it be that this city has some special setting, and as long as it lasts for how long it will be broken no matter how progress is, it will be broken? What has it been weathered?

As for as mentioned in the Romance of the Romance, after Cao Cao killed the grain officials and relieved the resentment of the military, the next day, he ordered the generals of each battalion: "If they do not break the city together within three days, they will be killed!" Then, Cao personally went to the city to supervise the army to carry soil and stones, fill the moats and block the trenches. The arrows and stones on the city were like rain, and two subordinate generals avoided them. Cao took his sword and killed the city under the city, and then got off his horse and got the soil and filled the pits. So all the soldiers from all over the world moved forward, and the army was greatly promoted. The enemy could not resist the enemy in the city, and Cao's soldiers rushed to the city first, cut the pass and fell into the locks, and the brigade rushed in... In the end, Li Feng, Chen Ji, Leju, and Liang Gang were all captured alive and beheaded in front of the city, and the war was won.

What do you feel when I see this? I went there, it was definitely the same as Guo Jia thought. Cao Cao's final victory had something to do with the beheading of the grain officials! In original words, Cao Cao killed the grain officials, but in fact, it was only "the resentment was resolved". What really boosted the morale of the army was that Cao Cao set a three-day deadline, and went to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and fed the pits. Only then did the army's power greatly boosted and won the battle! It was definitely not because of the killing of the grain officials. Since that was the case, why didn't Cao Cao go like this from the beginning

What about doing this? Why do you have to turn such a corner and borrow the head of the official? This will not only make Cao Cao bear the infamous, but also increase the risk of war. In the case of insufficient food and grass, the more you persist to the end, the more dangerous it is. Is Cao Cao studying psychology, which first arouses public anger, and then suddenly kills the scapegoat, making the public anger that has been aroused, so he can only turn to the enemy? Not to mention whether this kind of thing is reliable, isn’t Cao Cao afraid of backfire?
