The First Thousand and Ninety-Five Chapters Under the City of Changsha

Chapter 1095: Under Changsha City

Chapter 1095 Under Changsha City

Zhang Yu's sneak attack dealt them a fatal blow.

Sun Ce didn't dare to stay longer on the road, and went straight back to Changsha City.

Although Zhou Yu stayed, he also knew that there had been a major change in the delay plan, and he might not be able to hold Zhang Yu for long on the road.

In fact, if it wasn't for Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai who slowly arranged along the road for safety, they might have already reached the city of Changsha by this time.

Guo Jia and the others naturally knew that the city of Changsha was strong and would not be able to be breached quickly, so they made preparations for a long-term battle.

What is long-term combat is to prepare a lot of strongholds along the road, or to prepare food roads.

This battle line is too long, from Jiangdong, thousands of miles away, without a stable food road, the army can't fight at all.

But they have ships, and they have recruited a large number of ships, and they can use them for the first half of the year if they ship them all at once.

In addition to hoarding a large amount of food and grass in Jiangxiakou, Guo Jia and the others also planned to occupy some cities along the Dongting Lake, and then build a stable camp near Changsha, and things will be easier after that.

Zhou Yu also understood the enemy's strategy, but he had no way to deal with it. He knew it, but he had no ability to solve it.

Two months later, Zhang Yu's army finally reached the city of Changsha.

Zhang Liao arrived with an army of 100,000, and Zhang Yu's army of 50,000 also arrived.

Changsha City, under the management of Sun Ce, has tall walls and sufficient food and grass inside.

When Zhang Yu arrived, he didn't besiege the city, and Sun Ce didn't block the city immediately. He just checked carefully and opened it for two hours a day.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed that I failed to hold back the Tang army." During the court meeting, Zhou Yu took the initiative to plead guilty.

Sun Ce squeezed his hand, and then said: "It's not Gong Jin's crime, it's actually the enemy's preparation."

Sun Ce looked around at his civil and military officials, and then said: "Changsha City is strong, and the food and grass can be used for several years. Don't worry, everyone. We will work together and we will be able to stop Zhang Yu's army."

Sun Ce cheered up his heart,

Reassure them as much as possible, and then said: "Cai Hao and Cao Cao have already started to act. In a few days, the siege of Changsha City will naturally be broken. Zhang Yu came thousands of miles away, and he is destined not to last long."

What Sun Ce said is reasonable, and this is the way it is.

But whether they can develop according to their ideas is one thing.

When Zhang Yu arrived outside the city, he had no intention of attacking the city at all.

General, as soon as Zhang Liao and Dian Wei arrive, Huang Zhong is not far away and will arrive soon.

"My lord, why don't we attack the city as soon as possible, we will definitely be able to capture the city within three months." Dian Wei said impatiently.

Zhang Yu didn't answer. It is not an easy task to transport hundreds of thousands of food and grass here.

"Strong attack, beat it down, we have at least one year of health and rest to recover." Zhang Yu said calmly, looking in the direction of the city.

It is not an easy task to break such a city, and there are capable men like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Zhang Yu will never take any risks, he wants to unify the world as soon as possible.

Zhang Yu's army slowly gathered towards Changsha City. Zhang Liao was already building a camp and would build a strong camp ten miles outside Changsha City.

This camp may be used by hundreds of thousands of troops in the future.

This camp is not easy to build, it must be hygienic and have strong defenses.

Here, Zhang Liao planned to establish three lines of defense, the first line of defense being five miles away from the camp.

The most important thing in this camp is safety.

According to the progress, it will take about a month to build it anyway.

One month is one month, Zhang Yu is not in a hurry.

At this moment in Changsha City, everyone is nervous, and the enemy troops have all killed their capital.

Sun Ce established his country in Changsha. It didn't take long for the enemy to kill him. The enemy army built camps directly under the city.

Sun Ce also thought about sneak attacking their camp while their foothold was not stable, but he finally rejected it.

Zhang Yu will not let them sneak attack easily, even if he wins, the final loss will not be small, and it will not be worth it by then.

Sun Ce's top priority is to prepare for a long-term defense.

The lives of the people in Changsha City have been greatly affected.

Now, the city has not prohibited entry and exit, but I believe that it will be prohibited in the near future.

Some well-connected people have fled the city long ago, and the city is about to be covered by the flames of war.

Strangely, however, there aren't many gossips in the city.

In the past, Zhang Yu was the best at using rumors, and Cao Ang knew the most about the intelligence personnel he had deployed everywhere, so he let Sun Ce pay attention through official channels early.

Sun Ce specially appointed a general to pay attention to this matter and dispersed everyone.

However, what Sun Ce didn't know was that shortly after his order was issued, he was detected, and someone immediately spread the news, after which all the spies in Datang disappeared.

They are not in a hurry, since the rumors are not harmful, then don't expose yourself, it will come out when it is useful in the future.

In this city of Changsha, long before Sun Ce came back, a large number of rich households had slipped away quietly.

They understand very well that it is not easy to defend this city.

Today, Zhang Yu has conquered half of the country.

This half of the country is powerful, and there is no suspense to seize the whole world, unless Zhang Yu commits suicide.

Therefore, those big households will not perish with Sun Ce.

Only ordinary people don't understand the world at all, so they don't know what to do and stay in the city.

Zhang Yu met several people in the newly built big tent.

These people are all intelligence officers who came out of Changsha City.

"How is the food and grass arrangement in the city?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of grain and grass in the city, and there are many warehouses, but they are all heavily guarded. We may be able to burn one or two warehouses, but not if there are too many."

Zhang Yu nodded silently. Burning one or two warehouses would only affect their morale, but it would not have much effect.

"How is the salt situation in the city? Do you have reserves?" Zhang Yu asked.

Several intelligence officers were taken aback, wondering why Zhang Yu asked this.

"Go check it out right away, and find out what the price of salt is on the market."

Several people took Zhang Yu's order and went back immediately.

This order is a bit strange, why did you ask about salt in the war.

Several people went to inquire.

A few days later, several people returned.

"Your Majesty, we have checked and found out that there are indeed salt warehouses in the city, one in the government and one in the private sector, but no salt has entered the private warehouses as early as two months ago."

"Now the price of salt in the city has more than doubled."

Zhang Yu began to weigh the information, all the salt here was bought from him, he knew it very well.

More than half a year ago, after they started the war, Zhang Yu cut off their salt, and at the same time gradually and greatly increased the price for Cai Hao and Cao Cao.

This price has directly increased by 50%, and will continue to increase.

"Perhaps, salt is a breakthrough."
