Wei Yan and Fu Tong left, and also took away nearly half of the middle-level officers that Jin Jue had just trained, so Jin Jue continued to train more middle-level generals who were loyal to him.

Therefore, on the Xicheng side, not only Wu Ming, but also his deputy generals, and the Sima of each other department are all young people who are middle-level generals for the first time.

Jin Jue sent Fa Zheng over there and controlled everything in the camp to prevent the defenders in Chengdu from choosing Xicheng as a breakthrough.

Zhang Ren also realized at this time that it was definitely the next step for him to choose Xicheng and concentrate on destroying the encirclement here.

What's on the west side?

In addition to the lofty mountains and mountains in the west, the rest are ethnic minorities, and even the ancient Qiang people who are still in the primitive tribal stage on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Even if Zhang Ren broke the siege in the west, what could he do?

In the absence of reinforcements, even if all the soldiers in Chengdu protected Liu Zhang from the west of the city, where could they go? What's more, if you don't want to let Jiancheng go, will Liu Zhang be stupid enough to follow Zhang Ren to his death?

On the contrary, the generals arranged by Jin Jue in the west of the city, in this process, continue to experience failures and successes, some will grow up quickly, some will collapse, and some will even die unlucky in the flow of the Shu soldiers.

However, Jin Jue let them do it like this, which will indeed greatly promote their growth speed.

If Jin Jue really wanted to completely besiege Chengdu City as soon as possible, he would not let Li Hui leave, and let him control Xicheng.

After another ten days, the encirclement project of the Jin Jue army in the north and south city was also completed one after another. In the established encirclement, Jin Jue will no longer continue to let Zhang Ren send troops to destroy it, and every bunker or medium-sized fortress will deploy a part of the troops for defense.

After the siege on three sides, Zhang Ren had personally led the troops to the north of the city to try to attack once, but unfortunately, in front of the strong crossbows made by the Yizhou people themselves, the Shu soldiers were extremely vulnerable, and after a rain of crossbow arrows, Zhang Ren himself retreated to Chengdu with arrow wounds.

Afterwards, I learned from the mouth of the surrendered troops that this sneak attack was actually a sneak attack launched by Zhang Ren, the main general in Chengdu City, who personally led the troops to the north of the city, which made Cheng Lian sigh for a long time.

Wei Yan stepped on Zhang Ren and became famous in Bashu, and Cheng Lian naturally wanted to meet this other Yizhou 'famous general' who was favored by Gongzi for a while. What if Wei Yan defeated Zhang Ren twice in a row, if he could take Zhang Ren's head in front of the battle, the reputation of the two would be completely different.

Seeing that Zhang Ren, the only general under him, was also injured, Liu Zhang could no longer say anything to blame him.

After that, the two armies were once again in a very strange equilibrium.

Although Jin Jue's army has completed the siege of Chengdu on three sides, the destruction and construction in the west of the city are still continuing.

It was actually very simple for Jin Jue to complete the encirclement, but he didn't do it.

Just hanging them all the time is the best coping strategy. Otherwise, once the people in the city found out that Jin Jue's army had completed the siege of Chengdu Cheng, Jin Jue would not be able to estimate how Liu Zhang would react, and how those families who fled into Chengdu City and the original families in the city would react to Liu Zhang's decision.

Jin Jue actually knew very well in his heart that he was fighting local tyrants in Yizhou and dividing the land, which touched the interests of the entire Yizhou scholars. At this time, the situation encountered by Jin Jue was completely opposite to that of another time and space, when Liu Bei besieged Chengdu City and Deng Ai defeated Zhuge Zhan.

In those two historical moments, even if Liu Zhang or Liu Chan wanted to continue to gather in the city and hold on, they were always outsiders in the eyes of the Yizhou scholars, and secretly, many Yizhou scholars did not seem to die for the two of them.

For example, the famous Qian Zhou.

On the contrary, at this time, even if Liu Zhang wanted to surrender to Jin Jue, the scholars in Chengdu would definitely not agree to Liu Zhang's doing. I'm afraid that they have already planned to fight with Jin Juejun in Chengdu City and break the net.

realized this possibility, so Jin Jue did not persecute Liu Zhang to death at this time.

After the summer grain harvest next year and Jin Jue's army completely solves the problem of food shortage, Jin Jue can no longer have so many scruples and completely complete the siege of Chengdu City.

However, what method does Jin Jue use to solve the food crisis that Jin Jue's army is about to encounter?

In this regard, Jin Jue thought of three solutions.

First, the key is the county

The families in Shu County and Guanghan County under the control of Jin Jue's army had been cleaned up, and most of them did not choose to compromise with Jin Jue's army, so these families were either killed or their families fled to the county seat of Zitong County or the city of Chengdu.

Of course, Jin Jue is not a person who loves to kill, when he gave the order, he specially instructed his subordinates, those who fled with their families and mouths, there is no need to send people to chase and kill, because, when they escape, at most, they can stay at home Gold, silver, jewelry, fine and soft and other more valuable things, how can they escape with food.

However, in this process, if any family dares to burn up the grain reserves in their own house before leaving, Jin Jue will kill the family of such a person.

Even if the family that did so had already fled into Chengdu City, Jin Jue was able to punish them for the time being, but Jin Jue ordered people to record the names of all the men in the entire family, and when they broke through Chengdu City in the future, they would definitely not be spared.

After the three-sided siege was successful, Jin Jue ordered Cheng Lian to lead a part of the idle army to start the township clearance operation in Jianwei County.

However, it is not too difficult to move in the county, except for the southernmost country of the county, there are many mountains and few flat lands. Moreover, there are more Han people in the flat land than the barbarians, and there are more barbarians in the mountain land than the Han people.

Jin Jue's purpose was only to control a large area of land within a county that could be used to cultivate food, and nothing else. Therefore, there will be very few families that Cheng Lian needs to deal with.

Second, Yongning County.

According to the current information, it can be seen that most of the troops of the Taishou of Yongning County are concentrated in Jiangzhou County, which governs the county. Therefore, after Cheng Lian completed the task of Jianwei County, he quickly led his troops to attack other counties in the south of Yongning County except Jiangzhou County, and also carried out the township clearing operation there.

In this way, by looting the grain stored by the families in these two places, it can temporarily make up for the shortage of food for Jin Juejun during the period from this year to next year's summer harvest.

Third, control.

As was done last year in the county seat of Luoyang County, the grain expenditure in the control areas of Shu County and Guanghan County was strictly controlled.
