The water attack strategy may be a good strategy, but there is still some difference between water attack and fire attack. For fire attack, it usually either burns the city wall or the military camp, which will not have much impact on ordinary people. Unless it is intentional, it is impossible to burn the entire city with one fire. But for water attack, it is an undifferentiated attack!

Look at the floods in later generations. Once they are affected, even under the conditions of modern development, people's lives will be so difficult, let alone the ancient times. Moreover, when they are affected by later generations, they are usually natural disasters, and people will find ways to alleviate the disaster. But now, Cao Cao is constantly pouring water into it. As long as Si Shui continues to continue, the situation will only become more and more serious. Even in the end, the water level cannot rise much, but there will be many problems with soaking alone.

It is conceivable that at the beginning, the water suddenly came. Although not much, the people could not react in time. The food and firewood stored at home might get damp. Then, the water situation became increasingly larger. In this era, although not all bungalows are bungalows, all ordinary people live in bungalows. So, do you soak your feet in water every day to live?

Even if the food is processed in time before and the food is kept, under such circumstances, it is impossible to make a fire and cook, right? Especially those who raise pigs and poultry at home, this is a real tragedy. Needless to say, these things are probably not alive. Not to mention the loss of the people, these dead animals are soaked in the water, no one can deal with it, and cannot rush away. Over time, the possibility of a plague in the end will definitely be extremely high.

When the dry food that may still be left at home is finished, what will the people eat? When the clean water at home is finished, what will the people drink? Do you still take the dirty river water that has soaked everything on the spot? In that way, even if you don’t starve to death, you will probably die of illness.

In short, the water attack strategy is a real indiscriminate attack, and it can also be regarded as a "weapon of mass destruction". Perhaps it will make Lu Bu's army very uncomfortable. It has low combat power and loses morale, but the damage to ordinary people in the entire Xia Pi City is the greatest!

To put it simply, once Lu Bu does not surrender immediately, and once the two sides are in this state of stalemate, it will probably be even worse for the people in Xia Pi City. If the city is massacred, they will die with one knife, and it will be over. It will be painful and you don’t have to suffer alive. But now, you will cut into pieces and die in a thousand knives!

If these are always enemies, then it will be miserable. Cao Cao can ignore it. Cao Cao has done even the matter of massacre of the city, so why don’t he dare to do such things? But don’t forget that after Xia Pi was defeated, Xuzhou will finally become Cao Cao’s territory. Doesn’t Cao Cao need to appease the people and win over people’s hearts?

To be honest, the massacre may be better, because if you kill, you will be killed. Even if these people want to resent Cao Cao, they can only go downstairs to resent. As for the other people in Xuzhou, they complain in their hearts, and their lips are still cold. But if they don’t care about themselves, they will not touch the bottom line. Not only in feudal society, but many people in later generations are like this. But this time when the flood in Xia Pi, there will definitely be many people who will survive in the end. These people all suffered from Cao Cao, and after Cao Cao won, it is impossible for them to kill them all again, right?

By then, this group of people will probably hate Cao Cao just like they later hated the Japanese devils. Fortunately, this is just hatred of individuals, not the nation. But at this stage, when fighting against Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not want any internal problems.

Therefore, when Guo Jia came, he proposed to use such a tragic and inhumane indiscriminate attack method to achieve his goal, and even Cao Cao thought that this would be a little too extreme?

Hey, what are you watching me? What are you watching me? What are you doing? What does your expression of "So you Guo Jia is so bad" mean! I, Guo Jia, just want to fulfill my destiny. I, a poor little person who compromises with fate. Can I use personal attacks?!

Besides, even if you don’t need water attack now, you still have to use water attack when the attack is not enough. At that time, everything you are facing now will not change at all, and at the beginning, you have wasted so many soldiers, horses, food and grass. In addition to being a little better in your heart, thinking that you are desperate and forced to do this, rather than not being inhumane. Although you comfort yourself, the actual effect is definitely not worth it compared to now!

Perhaps, the mainstream of this era is idealism, but on the battlefield, materialism that ignores false reputation is more suitable. You don’t use water attacks at the beginning, isn’t it just that you can conquer yourself? However, facts will prove that you are confident or arrogant!

"Lu Bu is only one city left in Pi, and we completely cut off his retreat. For Lu Bu, he will definitely fight to the end if he fights against the enemy. Lu Bu transported the food to Xia Pi early in the morning, and the food in the city will probably last for at least three months. If we attack in a normal way, once Lu Bu insists on defending, we will probably not be able to take Xia Pi City for two months. Is this still a quick battle? Should we waste two months here? Then Yuan Shao ran to fight Xu Du and forced us to withdraw his troops?

Isn’t it like the first time he was attacking Xuzhou?!” Guo Jia said, “Anyway, I think the breaking water attack is the fastest way to break Xia Pi now, and this will force the surrender of Xia Pi City, even without a single soldier. You can think about it carefully, and maybe you can put forward any better opinions. I always think that war itself is cruel. No matter what the reason or how to kill, killing people is killing people. Maybe it sounds a bit bad, but don’t want to be a bitch and still stand a archway!”

Good guy, Guo Jia is simply saying that if anyone opposes him, he will be the bitch who wants to set up a arch! Who is doing personal attacks?

"This, what Feng Xiao said is also reasonable. Lu Bu will definitely fight to the death now. If there is no special situation, it will be difficult to defeat him in a short period of time. If he has been in a stalemate for two months and then turns to use this water attack strategy, it will definitely be a bit unworthy of the loss." Cao Cao thought for a while and said, Cao Cao himself was a very pragmatic person, and he did not want to do a loss-making business. "What do you think?" Cao Cao asked with a look around.

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