Wang Xiunai is one of the few outstanding men in the world. He stabilized Wei Yan and Qingzhou with more troops than Wei Yan.
The situation in Xuzhou is similar.
It has to be said that Jushou is a man of the highest rank in the world, a figure who can be compared with the five great advisers of Cao Wei.
However, his troops were even smaller. He had three battalions of elite soldiers, but one battalion had to stay in Shouchun. He only led 12,000 elite soldiers to go north, but he faced 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers from Xuzhou.
What's more, the person leading the army was still Cao Zhen.
Cao's Xiahou clan, one of the Eight Tiger Cavalry, is second only to Cao Ren and the most capable of leading troops in battle. Naturally, he returned without success.
Xuzhou cannot win either.
Liu Feng mobilized troops and generals, and mobilized the Sixth Army of Fazheng from Jiangling City to go north to attack the eastern capital, but only achieved a small victory. Wei Yan, who mobilized his military power, went east, added three battalions, attacked Qingzhou, and faced a stalemate with Wang Xiu.
Shouchun Jushou led the second battalion to the north and faced off against Cao Zhen. He was victorious and undefeated.
It can be said that these three armies have not made breakthrough progress along the way. The situation in the world is still that the Han army dominates the sky and is powerful.
However, Cao Cao created his own favorable geographical location and defended Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou as firmly as Mount Tai. Even under the might of the Han army, they were still standing firm.
The battle situation has completely reached a stalemate.
What's even more frightening is that Liu Feng no longer has an army to mobilize.
The Han army camp outside Liangcheng.
On this day, the weather was a little gloomy, and it was very hot and muggy.
Despite the sweltering heat, the soldiers still wore leather armor and did not even roll up their sleeves. This was because the Han army had strict orders.
Military appearance must be neat, but they dare not disobey military orders.
Therefore, the soldiers had no choice but to patrol the camp with sweat.
During this layer-by-layer inspection, it was also very stuffy and hot inside the Chinese army's tent among the guards.
At this moment, Liu Feng, Jia Xu, and Liu Ye were divided into priorities and were sitting on their knees in the tent.
Jia Xu's face was calm and unwavering. Liu Ye frowned, as if thinking hard. But Liu Feng's face was extremely gloomy.
The weather is even gloomier than this.
"I tried my best to mobilize the three armies to put pressure on Cao Cao. However, they failed to meet expectations. Now the army is beyond control. Is it really necessary to order a large-scale recruitment of the army across the country, costing one hundred thousand, or even
The lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers were wiped out by Cao Wei?"
Finally, Liu Feng let out a faint sigh.
Really, Liu Feng had really tried his best. But in the end, facing the majestic city and nearly 200,000 Cao Wei's elite soldiers, there was really nothing he could do.
Is there only one step left?
Mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to fight a bloody battle? Liu Feng really doesn’t want to do that, really doesn’t want to.
In the past, Liu Feng dared to do it. Why? Because the world was uncertain, and at that time, he himself was still struggling. In order to win, he would resort to any means.
Even if he sacrifices tens of millions of people, he will not hesitate to do so.
But now, the world has begun to take shape. The lives of hundreds of thousands of strong men cannot be destroyed casually.
I'm afraid this is the case. The poor can only take care of themselves, and the prosperous can help the world. Now Liu Feng has gone from poverty to greatness.
It seems that there is some compassion.
Liu Feng's sigh made Liu Ye feel guilty. He thought hard, hoping to find a way to get the best of both worlds, but in the end he could only lament that he was short-sighted.
There is really no good way to think of it.
As a result, the entire tent fell silent. A feeling of oppression and frustration could not help but permeate the air.
It is clear that we have the upper hand and we have a strong army, but we cannot defeat the iron tortoise of Cao Wei. How can we accept this?
Liu Feng's eyes flashed with unwillingness.
The body is tense and the hands are clenched into fists.
"Actually, the general knows that there is another way to defeat Liangcheng." After a long time, Jia Xu suddenly said, with a gloomy look on his face.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Feng was shocked all over, not only Liu Feng, but also Liu Ye.
Immediately, Liu Ye fell silent, while Liu Feng fell into a struggle.
Jia Xu is right, there is another way to defeat Liangcheng.
It is to use the Yellow River to submerge Liangcheng. But the result may not only be Liangcheng, but even the entire Yanzhou and even Yuzhou may become a marsh country.
There may be countless casualties.
Liu Feng has done this kind of thing before, he flooded Xianyang, but as he said, now that he is seeing the world unified, he will flood Yanzhou.
I really can't do it.
But flooding Yanzhou is better than mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to carry out a bloodbath in Cao Wei. The casualties in that way may reach three to four hundred thousand.
But if Yanzhou is flooded, it may be much smaller.
After all, it is impossible for the water of the Yellow River to drown all the people in Yanzhou, and the entire population of Yanzhou is probably only 600,000 to 700,000.
The lesser of two evils, flooding Yanzhou became a good choice.
Liu Feng has always known and understood this method. But he has always hidden it in his heart and has not expressed it with his mouth. Now, Jia Xu's words have pierced the window paper.
Either choose one of the two methods and wipe out Cao Wei. Or, continue to stand still and wait for Cao Wei to regain his strength and extend the war to five years, eight years, or even more than ten or twenty years.
Therefore, Liu Feng fell into a struggle.
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain." At this time, Jia Xu said again.
Although his willpower was very firm, he firmly supported Liu Feng's strategy of flooding Yanzhou with water, wiping out Cao Wei earlier and unifying the world.
Liu Feng was shocked when he heard this. He made a decision in his heart and began to take a different direction.
As Jia Xu said, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Although the sacrifice is greater now, it is nothing compared to the casualties that may extend the war to five years or even twenty years.
It may lead to the death of millions, millions of people. It may also allow Cao Cao to complete the reversal of the situation and become stronger again.
In addition to Cao Cao, there are also Liu Bei and Sun Ce.
With these three people together, it would be an early death to extend the time.
"Rong Gu, think about it again." He had already taken the direction in his mind, but at this moment, Liu Feng, who was determined to kill, seemed hesitant. He said, and then walked out of the camp.
Jia Xu and Liu Ye looked at each other without disturbing each other.
After Liu Feng walked out of the camp, he looked at the sky, the ground, and then the camp and the soldiers. But when he looked at the eyes of the soldiers looking at him, their faces were full of reverence.
Liu Feng finally made a decision.
"How could these soldiers stain the city with blood because of a single benevolent thought?" Liu Feng thought to himself.
"Gather the generals together to discuss building a dike and then digging water to flood the city."
Liu Feng shouted.
At this moment after making the decision, Liu Feng looked ruthless.
