Chapter 378: Wang Quan shouted that it was impossible, but he also reacted
For Cao Cao.
He has always believed in only eight words.
Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.
And that's what he's always done.
So at this time, he can give such an order, it really can't be regarded as undeserved.
Because first of all, there is actually a certain amount of room in the orders issued by Cao Cao at this moment.
For example, if someone stood up at this time and cut Wang Quan directly, then the subsequent slaughter of the city would of course not exist.
So it is obvious that Cao Cao used the most ordinary psychological warfare.
If anything, it's probably just a little bit.
He has always only played the real and never engaged in false propaganda.
To put it simply, if Cao Cao gave the order to slaughter the city, and the other side really did not surrender, then after his victory, it would be a real purgatory moment.
Throughout Cao Cao's life, there were hardly any exceptions.
Why say almost?
Harm, when Lu Bu called over, he also said it in private, but in the end, he obviously didn't do it.
What's more, under the circumstances at that time, the people in those cities really didn't listen to him very much.
So, he obviously had already committed a breach of trust.
But that kind of thing will only happen in the early days.
Like now, he will never tolerate the existence of people like Wang Quan.
To say slaughter of the city is to slaughter the city.
"Whoa!"
Han Hao and the others, who were already accustomed to Cao Cao's actions, obviously would not question this.
They silently obeyed the order, and then began to siege the city.
Of course, during this period, they also told many people about Cao Cao's thoughts.
"Here we go again!"
"Cao thief, I am inseparable from you!"
"Shall we surrender?"
"Cao Cao never lies, if we really don't surrender...... I am afraid that in the end, it will be impossible to escape the slaughter. ”
It's not what many people think.
Although the common people and the wealthy families knew Cao Cao's thoughts, they did not unanimously want to resist to the end.
Because they are all afraid of death.
There's no shame in that.
People live in the world, who can dare to say that they are really not afraid of death?
Especially before this, they were originally under Cao Wei's command.
In this case, some conflicting thoughts will naturally appear.
"The general has an order, and the military advisor said that as long as you are willing to live and die with the city, you are willing to share the wealth and prosperity with you...... If you win this battle, you will not have to pay taxes or food for three years! ”
Wang Quan obviously also knew what kind of outcome would be if many people who were afraid of death had other ideas.
So, he quickly sent a new order out.
Then the anger in the hearts of the people was mobilized.
They actually live very simply.
I just want to live silently, and by the way, if I can live better, then I can live better.
It is only when they are blocked that they suddenly become angry.
And now, they are clearly blocked from a bright future.
So, they got angry.
Many of them spontaneously entered the army and became part of the defensive guards.
More people also acted as logistical auxiliaries during this period, constantly transporting food and equipment to the front line.
Cao Cao soon learned the news.
Therefore, even if he knew that this city, he was afraid that he would not be able to slaughter it.
It's not a good thing to lose faith in the world.
Especially in such a thing, once he loses his trust, it will be a big problem.
After all, before this, he had slaughtered a lot of people, and some of those relatives and friends might still be alive in this world.
What does this mean?
This means that if he can't do what he says here, then he will have a huge backlash after that.
Of course, this is only one possibility.
Just because it can happen doesn't mean it will happen.
However, Cao Cao clearly wouldn't let this risk happen, so he quickly issued a series of orders that could be described as tyrannical.
For example, he gave the order to drop rockets into the city.
It's almost the rhythm of burning everyone to death together.
But when he did it, he didn't have the slightest idea of remorse, but he was still firm, as if if he didn't do it, he would be sorry for the people of this city.
But what he didn't know was that after he did so, the people's revolt not only did not weaken, but rose rapidly.
It has already been said before.
The idea of the people is simple.
They just want to live, and if they can, of course, live a little better.
So, whenever someone dares to stop them from achieving this goal, they tend to fall into a rage without any thinking.
For now, that's it.
"The military heart is available, and I will win this battle!"
After Wang Quan saw it, his heart was instantly filled with relief.
Of course, he was still a little worried at this time.
Worried about whether Huang Zhong could stop Xiahou Yuan.
If it can't be stopped, then all this will naturally have no effect.
But if you can block it, you can even win by luck......
Wang Quan dared to guarantee that in his mobilization, these people would definitely let Cao Cao know what the real Burning Sky Fury was.
"Come on, let's take a look!"
Just thinking about it was obviously not enough to satisfy Wang Quan, so he quickly sent an envoy to investigate.
The man took the order and went quickly.
However, what Wang Quan didn't expect soon happened in front of him.
Shortly after the envoy's departure, he saw a little commotion among Cao's army.
A very small riot.
If you don't look closely, you can't even notice it.
But how keen is Wang Quan's sense of smell?
Even if the riot in Cao's camp only lasted for a moment, he still noticed it.
"Why is that?"
Wang Quan couldn't help but fall into thought, and along with the thought, an idea that made him feel impossible suddenly appeared in his mind: "Is it possible, General Huang won?" ”
For this idea, Wang Quan only lasted for a moment, and then suppressed it.
Because he felt it was impossible.
Even if Xiahou Yuan was a dog, just standing there was definitely not something that Huang Zhong could easily overcome.
Not to mention Huang Zhong, even if Chen Feng went into battle in person, when facing Xiahou Yuan, I am afraid it would not be too easy.
For the latter, victory may be possible, but to win big, it is absolutely impossible.
It's not that Wang Quan looks down on Chen Feng or Huang Zhong, it's really like this on the battlefield.
Especially when Cao Cao's army is exhausted and it is still close to the rear......
Even if there is any clever idea, it will not be used.
To put it simply, in this case, you can only fight in a dumb battle.
And in the case of a dumb battle, it is obviously impossible to win a big victory......
Unless, Xiahou Yuan made a decision that should never be made.
But again, this is impossible.
"However, even so, it is necessary to rush......"
"Come, give me orders, and ...... at once"
