On June 10, 266, Sima Shiji, the great leftist of Eastern Wu, led an army of 50,000 to surround Xiling City, and then quickly began to attack.

On the 11th, the Central Army of Eastern Wu went out under the leadership of Zuo Yi, Cai Gong, Wu Yan and others. Attack the west, north, and east gates of Xiling respectively. And then shamefully suffered a total defeat.

On the 12th, Lu Shu, Lu Mu, and Zhou each led their armies to attack. Although the Wunan army once stormed the eastern wall and occupied a section of the battlement. However, after the Bu family's generals adjusted their forces in time, especially after they also took out the reserves of the same difficulty-free army, they were inevitably pushed off the city wall. There is no difficulty in supervising the circumference, carrying ten arrows on his back, and he almost hung up that night.

On the 13th, the embarrassed and angry Shi Ji led his family's private soldiers to fight in person, but he still failed to see the slightest hope of breaking the city.

On the 14th, the weak naval army of the Bujia actually launched a night attack, sneaked out from the south gate (water gate) of Xiling City, and put down countless small sampans covered with dry firewood down the river, and the Jingzhou naval army of Eastern Wu gathered in the lower reaches of Xiling City could not be evacuated for a while, because of the burning and collision with each other, they lost thirteen fighting ships and more than 30 ships. Killed, burned, missing, about a thousand people.

On the 15th, the north gate tower of Xiling.

This city was built by Lu Xun and strengthened by steps. Now, the outer city of Xiling is ten zhang (23 meters) high, and the thickness is more than three zhang. And the inner city is as high as 12 zhang. As Lu Kang said, such a city cannot be attacked and taken in a moment and a half.

Although it is unreliable on weekdays, it is time for the family to survive. Step by step, step by step, Zhongsi is still unprecedentedly strong. Since the end of May, when he erected the flag in Xiling, he has placed his bedroom on the north gate tower of Xiling.

"The head of the family, the statistics of the battle losses in the past few days have come out, and my family has killed more than 700 people and injured more than 600. The bow and arrow rolling wood stone consumes less than half of the inventory. ”

"Hmph, Shi Gongxu is nothing more than that. Order, for the dead, for each family, for a thousand dollars, and for the wounded, for five hundred. In addition, all those who ascend to the city to defend will have a hundred dollars each! ”

"Whoa!"

"Also, is there any news from the north?"

"This, the head of the family, now my family is besieged in this city, and the only one who can get through the news is the south gate, but now after going out from the south gate, you have to make a detour to enter Jianping County, and then cross Daba Mountain to enter Shangyong County of the Jin Kingdom. This news will take too long to get traffic...... Well, my lord, the nearest messenger of my family left five days ago. Even if everything goes well, it will be at least 20 days before this news reaches Xiangyang in the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Oh, that's it. I'm also anxious. Hmph, this Guan madman, I used to ask him for the skill of flying pigeons, and the price was 100 million, but this guy just won't give it! As long as you survive this difficulty, you will have to give you a good look at the Fuxing Society on the business road in the future! ”

Just as Bu Yan was scolding Guan Yi on the tower of Xiling City, a tactical review was also being carried out in the Wu army's tent outside the city.

"Hey, I regret not listening to the words of the young festival, and I wasted half a month of time in vain."

"Da Sima, our army has only suffered a setback in the first battle, as long as we persist in attacking, Xiling will be broken!"

"Needless to say, Xiling really can't be defeated in the short term. Now our army has changed its strategy. The congregation will obey the order! ”

"I'm waiting for Da Sima's order!"

"The old man immediately sent a message to the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, and asked them to immediately send 50,000 people to Xiling and start building a wall around Xiling! In this matter, Zizhan (Lu Shu) is fully responsible. Construction must start before the 20th! ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

"During the construction of the wall by our army, the most worrying thing was that the Jin army was moving south at this time. Ji Yang (Lü Mu), please lead your Lu family's private soldiers and go out to the south side of Lintao County in the Jin Kingdom, and only need to monitor the other party. At least give our army more than three days to react. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Shi Ze (Wu Yan), Bo Guang (Zuo Yi), Zishang (Cai Gong), Er and other three people, each led 5,000 soldiers and horses, stationed outside the three gates of Xiling. Keep an eye on the private soldiers of the Bujia in Xiling City and rush out. ”

"I'll take my orders!"

"Well, Youngster, do you think there's anything else you need to add?"

"Uh, Da Sima. It's mid-June, and the area is about to enter the hot and rainy season. Therefore, in terms of construction, there is no need to use rammed earth as a wall. More branches and wattles should be planted, and then the mud should be poured directly. After that, if God forbids it, the scorching sun will be in the sky for several days in a row, and this wall will be completed! ”

"Good, is there anything else?"

"Our army's naval troops should be bold, divide half, directly cross the south gate of Xiling, and camp in the upper reaches of Xiling. Although the rainy season is about to begin, the torrent speed in the Three Gorges is surging. But as long as you prepare in advance, it should still be fine. It should be known that our army has not completely cut off Xiling City's contact with the outside world now. So ......"

"Good, since our army has made up its mind to besiege Xiling for a long time. This news of isolating the inside and outside of Xiling is what must be done. The old man then issued an order and ordered the first and second divisions of the Jingzhou Navy to move forward. Young, is there anything else? ”

"Well, there's that. Please ask the brothers of the school to work harder and intercept the Jin State's Jin Cao personnel as much as possible. If the Jin side gets the news one day later, our walls will be strengthened for one more day. ”

"Well, you all heard me clearly. The opinion of the young man is the opinion of the old man. Let's all go our separate ways and do things! ”

"Whoa!"

……

After adjusting the strategy, he quickly drafted a relevant report for Sun Hao, who was far away in Jianye. Five days later, the report was quickly delivered to Sun Hao.

"Right Sima, look at this strategy of the left Sima......"

"Your Majesty, Zuo Da Sima adjusted in a timely manner. Although Ding Feng had been stationed in Huainan for a long time, he did not know much about the situation in Jingzhou. But Xiling Jiancheng is by no means so easy to take. ”

"Well, Shiji, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think that what we have to do now is two things. First, His Majesty issued an order to comfort the soldiers on the front line of Xiling. And make it clear that Your Majesty, you are extremely patient with this counterinsurgency. Let them be bold and do not rush it. Second, since this counterinsurgency operation has inevitably become protracted, the support of the army and money and food on Jianye's side is necessary. ”

"Your Majesty, what Shang Shuling said is very precise, and the old minister seconded it!"

"Your Majesty, Minister Lu Kai (Wan Yu) seconded the proposal!"

"Hehehe, Shi Ji is really a talent. Hey, guys, you probably don't know yet, do you? Before I ascended to the Great Treasure, Shi Ji had asserted. This Lu Youjie will be my Zhou Gongjin in the future! If you are good, you will do it according to the meaning of Shiji. However, this support force ...... Right Da Sima, do you have any good candidates? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends that the right general Zhuge Liang lead an army of 5,000 to the west to support."

The so-called Zhuge Liang is the youngest son of Zhuge in the three rebellions of Huainan. In that year, Zhuge raised an army to fight against Sima Zhao, and in order to gain the support of Eastern Wu, he sent him to Jianye as a hostage. After Zhuge was defeated, he was wiped out by the three tribes. He stayed in Soochow and continued the incense of Zhuge Dan.

"Well, I remember that General You's table is also Zhongsi, right? Good, let this Zhongsi go and take down another Zhongsi, interesting. So, who gave Zhuge Zhongsi as a lieutenant? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister recommended the grandson of Sun Ben, the former captive general, and now Sun Zhen, the governor of the tent, Sun Ziwei. This son is twenty years old, and his martial arts are really comparable to Zhou Youping (Zhou Tai) in the past. It's just that I'm too obsessed with martial arts and don't understand the way of battle at all. This time, let's learn from Zhong Si. It can't be said that he is also a good general of my new generation of Dawu. Hey, Lu Youjie's performance this time made the old man deeply feel the feeling of the waves in front of the Yangtze River. The generational alternation of Xishu has almost been completed, and the generational alternation of my Dawu will not start again, but it will be really late. Oh, Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and his speech is very broken, please forgive Your Majesty......"

"Hehehe, the health of the right Da Sima is the blessing of my Da Wu. I have a lot to rely on you. Well, then worship Sun Ziwei as the general of Dingxi Zhonglang, and let him follow the right general to Xiling to support. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, although I have killed many people since I ascended the throne. Raided a lot of people's homes. But you should all know that these people deserve it. I am by no means a tyrannical person who kills indiscriminately. As long as all the ministers are loyal to the king's affairs, how can we wait for this friendship between kings and ministers without a good end? ”

"Don't dare, we are all willing to swear allegiance to Your Majesty!"
