For the result of Sun Jian's surrender, Yan Baihu was also quite satisfied.

Without the threat of Sun Jian, Yan Baihu would be much safer in the Yangzhou area, and there was only one Liu Xuan, who was not a local, but a state pastor sent by the imperial court, and it would not be so difficult to deal with it.

After a brief discussion between Liu Zheng and Yan Baihu, he asked Sun Jian to meet his family.

Of course, Sun Jian, who had lost the commander of the soldiers and horses, was no longer worried, and Liu Zheng was not afraid that Sun Jian would be able to make any big waves, so he discussed with Yan Baihu and joined forces to attack Huiji City.

Liu Zheng himself only has more than 10,000 men left, although he wants to attack Huiji City, although he has the opportunity, it will definitely not be easy, and Liu Zheng also knows at this time that in Huiji City, how many soldiers and horses are left, and if he wants to directly rely on his own strength to attack Huiji City, the pressure will be very great.

And the union of Yan Baihu is different, Yan Baihu is here, after all, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses, with Yan Baihu's main force to attack Huiji City, if Liu Zheng assists him, it will be much easier to defeat Huiji City.

"Brother Baihu, now that we have dealt with Sun Jian, the next thing is Liu Xuan's Huiji City, as long as Huiji City is defeated, this huge Huiji County, no one will be your opponent anymore."

There are several counties in Yangzhou, and the territory of Huiji County is the largest, and if you can get Huiji County, it is equivalent to getting one-third of Yangzhou.

"Next, let's go to Huiji City? But Huiji City is guarded by Liu Xuan's heavy soldiers, and it is not so easy to defeat it. ”

"Fighting the city, naturally it is not easy, no matter what city it is, it is not easy, I have already asked Sun Jian, although there are still many people in Huiji City at this time, but it has been consumed by me a lot, there were originally 60,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, but 20,000 of them were transferred by Sun Jian, and the remaining 20,000 were taken away by Fan Neng, after the battle with me, I estimate that at most only 5,000 people returned to Huiji City, that is to say, there should only be 25,000 soldiers and horses in Huiji City now."

25,000 soldiers and horses, not much, after all, at this time, Yan Baihu and Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses combined, more than 30,000 people, may not be without the strength to fight.

But it's a lot to say less, and it's still based on the city, so it's not easy to fight, but if it can be defeated, it will be a very good thing for Liu Zheng and Yan Baihu.

"What countermeasures does Liu Zhengqu Shuai have?"

"I can't talk about countermeasures, if you want to attack Huiji City, I will assist you, and after you defeat Huiji City, I will give you this Huiji City, if you don't want to fight, then temporarily withdraw the troops, my people have suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, plus the shortage of food and grass, it is necessary to go back and rest first."

After all, Liu Zheng's grain and grass were robbed by Sun Jian, and the grain road was not completely unblocked, although he has now cooperated with Yan Baihu to lay down Fuchun, and there is no need to worry about the temporary grain and grass problem, but after a long time, it still doesn't work, and the grain and grass in Jiaozhou must be transported over.

As soon as the time dragged on, Liu Zheng felt that it was the best choice to rest and recuperate first, and this time he lost more than 10,000 troops, which he didn't want to see.

As soon as Yan Baihu heard that Liu Zheng said that he would give him the Huiji City that he had laid, he suddenly became interested, although he Yan Baihu occupied several county seats, but these county towns were all small county towns, the number of households was only a few thousand, four or five small county towns, combined, there was no big county town.

Therefore, if he can defeat the county seat of Huiji County, Yan Baihu can really be called a prince.

"Hit! Since Liu Zhengqushuai thinks so highly of me, you naturally want to fight, even if I do my best, I will knock down Huiji City! ”

"Okay, then without further ado, we will rest for a day in Fuchun, and tomorrow morning, we will go to attack Huiji City!"

Liu Zheng didn't talk nonsense with Yan Baihu here, and quickly said goodbye and left, and returned to his military camp.

Nothing to say for a day.

Liu Zheng, who has experienced fighting and melee one after another, is also a little tired, and finally has time to rest, he also has to rest well, after all, he is not a steel man, but people will always be tired.

Early the next morning, he reorganized his army, took his soldiers and horses, and killed him at the foot of Huiji City.

Huiji City has now been tightly defended, although Liu Jian fled, but Liu Zheng did not know, he could clearly know through his observation outside the city that there were at least 20,000 troops in this city.

20,000 people are stationed in Huiji City, and it is not so easy to break the city gate and enter the city.

"Liu Zhengqu Shuai, there are a lot of soldiers and horses in this city, and there is one person in five steps on the city tower, if it is attacked, we are only afraid of great casualties."

Yan Baihu also walked around the vicinity of this city, and after seeing the appearance of this city, he did not act rashly, and took his own people to attack the city directly, but asked people to block several gates of Huiji City, and then brought people here to find Liu Zheng, planning to discuss with Liu Zheng how to break this Huiji City.

Liu Zheng is actually thinking about this problem, although he and Yan Baihu's men and horses together are more than the defenders in the city, but the extra thousands of men and horses are not decisive, whether there is a difference or not is not too big, if you want to directly attack such a county, unless it is three times the manpower of the other party, it will be difficult to defeat it.

Even if Liu Zheng can move a trebuchet, this kind of siege weapon is at most a five-to-five open, and it is not so easy to build the city at all without any cost.

"In my opinion, it is not easy to attack, then you can only besiege the city and cut off water and food."

During the Three Kingdoms period, the real siege of the city, after all, was still a minority, unless there were several times the enemy's strength, and wanted to break the city quickly, no general wanted to attack the city at a great price.

And don't want a huge price, besieging the city and cutting off water and food is the best way.

After all, everyone has food in their homes, and it is still possible to save some food for a few months.

But once the water is cut off, within half a month, the people and soldiers in the city will take the initiative to run out.

Many cities were built with water, and only the rivers had to be cut off, or the rivers could be temporarily diverted, and the soldiers in the city would have to leave the city within a few days, unless there was enough water in the city to keep them going.

However, such a water source cannot fully maintain the daily use of the people in the city, and it may be able to persist in a short time, but it will definitely be chaotic after a long time.

When the time comes, the people in the city will be in civil strife, and the city will be destroyed.
