I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

The water of the Yellow River comes from the west, flows through Sili Prefecture, and divides it into two.

To the south is Henan Yin, and to the north is Hanoi County.

Chaoge is less than ten miles away from the Yellow River, and the river outside the city is also drawn from the Yellow River, which can be used to irrigate the farmland on weekdays.

Cao Mao's method is very simple.

That is to build a dam upstream to store water.

When the time is right, the embankment will be breached and the water will be released to hit Chaoge County.

Although the Yellow River at this time has not yet become a hanging river like later generations.

But if enough water is accumulated, it will not be difficult to wash down a small city of Chaoge County!
Everyone was shocked by Cao Mao's thoughts!

After a while, Pang Tong came back to his senses and said hesitantly,

"My lord, this method will work, but..."

Jia Xu on the side took the conversation and said with a wry smile,

"It's just that if this is really done, once the Yellow River floods, Ji County, Chaoge and other places will be reduced to barren land in the future!"

Although the attack on Chaoge by water is easy to say, the consequences it brings are extremely serious.

Because of this, even Jia Xu, who has always been dubbed a poisonous man, did not dare to agree lightly.

"Those who achieve great things should do whatever they can."

Cao Mao looked cold and said softly,

"If you can capture Chaoge without spending a single soldier, this strategy is still feasible."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the tyrant mission, breaking the embankment of the Yellow River, and flooding Chaoge!"

Hearing the notification sound from the system next to his ear, a gleam flashed in Cao Mao's eyes.

It seems that the Yellow River will die if it does not break its embankment today.

He shouted in a low voice,
"Wait for your orders!"

Everyone's heart trembled, and they quickly said in unison,
"Please instruct my lord."

"Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Wen Chou!"

"The end is here!"

"The three of you lead your respective units and gather to build embankments in the upper reaches of the Yellow River to store water in the river. When I order, you will burst the embankments and release the water!"

"As ordered!"

The three took orders and left quickly.

"Marquis Wen, General Yunchang!"

"The end is here."

The two rushed out from the queue.

"From today onwards, the two of you will lead your respective troops and take turns fighting in front of the city gate!"

"Here!

Cao Mao looked at Pang Tong again, and said softly,

"Military division, I hope you will urge the army to build enough ships as soon as possible."

"As ordered!"

Pang Tong nodded heavily.

Although the orders were passed on, Cao Mao noticed that the benevolent Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others all looked a little intolerable.

"Do you think this plan is too cruel?"

Cao Mao asked lightly.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

It was Xu Shu who gritted his teeth and stood up.
"My lord, breaking the embankment of the Yellow River is too harmful, should we think of another way?"

Cao Mao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on Xu Shu,

"Yuanzhi, you should be clear in your heart that apart from this method, it is impossible to win Chaoge with minimal casualties!"

Stared at by his sharp eyes, Xu Shu couldn't say a word.

If you want to take down Chaoge, which is heavily guarded by Zhang Xi, you must either attack by water, or pay great casualties!

How is it possible for Cao Mao to give up the water attack and take Chaoge with his life?

"But...but this move is too hurtful and..."

Zhao Yun said hesitantly.

Cao Mao turned around slowly, stood with his hands behind his back, and said loudly,

"If you want to do benevolence and righteousness, you must first use violence!"

"My lords only think that I broke the embankment of the Yellow River, which is too cruel and not beneficial to the people's livelihood."

"But have you ever thought that if the war between the prime minister and Yuan Shao does not stop for a day, the people of the world will suffer!"

"When I take Yecheng as soon as possible and put down Yuan Shao and the princes of the four directions, I can return the people of Li to a bright future!"

"If there will be infamy because of this, let me, Cao Mao, bear it alone!"

His impassioned words hit the hearts of everyone as if they were resounding.

Yes.

If the rivers and mountains cannot be unified as soon as possible, the people of the world will not be able to live and work in peace.

Although the lord is a cruel act, he is also a benevolent and righteous king!

Pang Tong was deeply moved, and immediately stood up and said loudly,
"If there is really infamy, I will bear it together with my lord!"

Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others were also deeply shocked. They knelt down on one knee towards Cao Mao and said in unison,
"We bear it together!"

Cao Mao turned around, with a satisfied smile on his fair face,
"I am very touched that you have such an idea. But you don't have to worry, now that we are fighting Yuan Shao, most of the people in the two places have already fled."

"If the Yellow River breaks its embankment, at most it will lose some fields."

"At that time, I will move all the people here to Huai County and Wen County, and resettle them properly."

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison,
"My lord is benevolent and righteous, we admire you."

"Alright, hurry up and follow my orders!"

Cao Mao waved his hand.

Everyone took orders to go.

Gan and Ning led their troops to rush to the south of the Yellow River to build embankments and store water.

Lu Bu and Guan Yu took turns going outside the city every day to call for battle, attracting the attention of Zhang Yun and others.

Pang Tong mobilized his army to cut down dense forests in the mountains to make ship valves.

……

a few days later.

Outside Chaoge City.

A sergeant with a loud voice in Lu Bu's army, with one hand on his hip, pointed at the city gate tower with the other, and cursed loudly,
"Zhang Xi, you are a man after all, why are you huddled in the city like a woman? Could it be that you are an eggless eunuch?"

But no matter how much he insulted, the people on the city wall didn't seem to hear it, and they didn't even shoot a few arrows to intimidate them.

Seeing that the sun was almost up, the sergeant turned his head and came to Lu Buma to report back.

"General, there is still no movement in the city."

Lu Bu squinted at the enemy army on the city wall, and just sneered,
"No movement is better, let's go!"

He gave an order, and the three thousand Bingzhou iron cavalry turned their horses and retreated towards their own barracks.

Seeing Cao Jun leaving like a tide below the city wall, Jiao Chu on the city wall yawned and complained to Zhang Nan beside him,

"What do you think the general thinks? Cao Jun insulted us so much, why didn't he fight back?"

Holding the weapon in his arms, Zhang Nan leaned against the wall post, lazily speaking,

"Didn't the general already say that the lord has military orders, so let's stay here honestly. What if we lose our lives in battle?"

"That can't make Cao Mao so arrogant!"

Jiao Touch hammered down the city wall bitterly, then stood up and walked towards the city.

Zhang Nan on the side saw it, but didn't bother to stop him.

Chaoge is just a small town.

After Zhang Yun drove all the people out of the city, he let all the troops enter the city.

Jiao Touch traveled unimpeded all the way to Zhang He's Xingyuan.

"General!"

He bowed his hands to Zhang He and saluted.

Zhang Xi, who was discussing military affairs with the examiner and others, frowned when he saw Jiao Touch, and asked displeasedly,
"Didn't you and Zhang Nan be ordered to guard the city wall? Why did you retreat?"
