What does it feel like to be flooded?Helplessness, panic, despair?My hometown has been hit by two floods, but I haven't experienced it myself. My relatives were trapped upstairs and couldn't get up or down, but because of the PLA rescue, there was nothing to worry about psychologically, just wait at home. When I returned to my house on the first floor, I saw that the traces of the flood had reached 18 meters, I was really scared in my heart. But what would this kind of thing be like in ancient times?
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there have been examples of water attacks, which were basically invincible and won victories. But the power of water and fire to use nature is uncontrollable, and although it wins, the degree of damage is also huge. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the reincarnation of heaven will inevitably be punished.
In 198, starting from September, Cao Cao went east to Lü Bu, broke Pengcheng in October, and inXiapi defeated Lu Bu。Lü Bu retreated to Xiapi City, and tried to break through in the middle, but was unsuccessful. Cao Cao's soldiers surrounded Pi, but the city was high and difficult to attack, at this time it had entered October, the winter was cold, Cao Cao wanted to retreat but was dissuaded by Xun You and Guo Jia, and offered a plan to use water to attack. Cao Cao sent soldiers to dig up Surabaya and Yishui, flooding the city。But at this time, Xiapi was not immediately substantially harmed, and Lu Bu still insisted on it for more than a month. But the soldiers and generals in the city couldn't stand this kind of torment, and their hearts were unstable. Lü Bu's subordinates Song Xian, Wei Xu and others captured Chen Gong and opened the city gate to surrender to Cao Cao, which also led to Lü Bu being captured alive. In this way, the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms was captured and then killed.
In 205, Cao Cao began to attack Yuan Shang. First cross the Yellow River, change the Qishui waterway into Baigou, and transport military rations. In May, the earth hill near the city was dug up, and the tunnels were leveled. Dig wide, dig deep, dig into a trench along the moat of the city wall. Zhangshui was dug and poured into the city along the ditchAfter two months of siege, more than half of the people in the city starved to death。Later, Yuan Shang was brought back to rescue Yecheng, but he was defeated by Cao Cao. In the end, the people of Yecheng were disheartened and opened the city gate to surrender.
It can be seen that although this kind of thing of diverting water to irrigate the city cannot cause substantial military results, it is the people in the city who suffer, and the psychological deterrence of people is huge, and no one can survive for a long time in that insecure and fearful environment. But Wei Jun's approach is also hurtful, and he will inevitably suffer retribution.
At the time of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other for a long time, lacking food and clothing, and had been looking for fighters. Later, Xu Yu made suggestions and attacked the grain and grass of Yuan Shaowu's nest. Cao Cao factionXu Huang led the cavalry to raid Wuchao and burned Yuan Shao's grain and grass baggage, thus laying the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Guandu
Fire and flooding, Cao Cao used these tricks, but he didn't expect that he would also be treated in the same way as others.
In 202, Liu Bei took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Yuan Shang and attacked Cao Cao's rear. Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Li Dian to attack Liu Bei and confront him at Bowang. Liu Bei used the design to burn down his camp tent and confuse Xiahoudun. Xiahoudun thought that Liu Bei was going to escape, so he led his troops to pursue, but was ambushed by Liu Bei and defeated, thanks to Li Dian's timely rescue, the whole army was not annihilated. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very wonderful, Zhuge Liang cleverly arranged, Zhao Yun lured Xiahou into the encirclement, and then set fire to the Cao army defeated. It's just that there is no such record in the history books.
Cao Cao flooded the city with water, and then indirectly killed himHua Tuo, also tasted the consequences in the Battle of Chibi. In 208, Cao Cao led a large army to conquer Liu Biao, and then gathered heavy troops in Chibi, preparing to make contributions in the first battle of Chibi and conquer Sun Quan and Liu Bei. But people are not as good as heavenFirst, the plague was rampant, and the combat power was halved。After Huang Gai surrendered, Cao Cao took precautions. But the time, place and people are not on Cao Cao's side, just in time for the southeast stormHuang Gai quickly advanced by speedboat and attacked with fire, causing most of Cao's ships to burn down, unable to go south, thus contributing to the three-legged situation. And in this war, Cao's army lost at least more than 100,000 people.
After being burned by fire, it was not over, and in 219 AD, Guan Yu attacked Cao Ren in Fancheng. Yu Ban led the Seventh Army with 30,000 horses to rescue Fancheng. Yu Ban and Pang De garrisoned in the north of the city, but the prefecture and city were low. Just in time for the torrential rains in autumn, the Han water swelled sharply. Floods broke out throughout the Hanshui basin, displacing people. Fancheng water depth can reach more than ten meters, Guan Yu took this opportunity to drive a big ship to storm the Fancheng embankment, although Pang De bravely killed the enemy, but the fear caused by the flood was difficult to fight, the Wei army surrendered, Pang De was captured and killed, Yu Ban surrendered Guan Yu. This incident achieved Guan Yu's reputation and left an infamy on Yu Ban, a famous general who followed Cao Cao all the year round, while Pang De, a descending general, was praised by later generations for his loyalty.
Water and fire are uncontrollable, and it is difficult to control.
Fire and water are ruthless and hurtful.
People are weak and helpless under the disasters of fire and water.
Therefore, we must have a sense of reverence for nature, do more harmonious things, and protect the environment.
