Zhang Yu began to besiege Changsha City.

Sun Ce made grain several times without results, Zhang Yu looked very strictly, and they couldn't get salt.

But this doesn't seem to be nothing, Sun Ce and they had expected that Zhang Yu would surround the city.

Without salt, there was no big problem, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce formulated a more detailed strategy, and often rewarded the soldiers.

Even, every few days, send them some wine.

Naturally, only a part of the soldiers could drink these wines at a time.

Several armies take turns to drink, and it takes several days, or even ten days, to drink once.

But the effect is very good, although there is no salt during the meal, it is a little lighter, but there is wine, and the soldier can relieve the mood.

Plus the reward, pay once a few days, and the soldiers really don't make trouble.

After all, when eating, it's just a moment, just swallow a few bites, and you can fill your stomach.

Zhang Yu continued to hold his ground.

In the city, there was a shortage of salt, for a month, there was no incident, and the soldiers did not have any more serious time.

In fact, this month, they can still eat salt occasionally, and Sun Ce sent people to collect it from the people in the city, and they can collect a little bit.

It seems to be a good idea to let the soldiers eat salt once every few days.

This month, there was no big mess.

The siege continued, and Zhang Yu did not stop his actions in the past month, and a large number of supplies were delivered.

Then, strong fortifications were built outside the city, and the soldiers and civilians inside the city were to be trapped to death.

There is a shortage of salt in the city, and it has been about a month.

Normal people, who lack salt for ten days, will have symptoms such as fatigue and anorexia, and may also lead to neurasthenia.

At this time, there were obviously some problems with the army in the city, but there had been no recent battles and they had not attracted attention.

It's been a month, and Changsha City has gathered 500,000 troops, and Zhang Yu has begun to arrange military tasks, preparing to find an opportunity to go to war.

"Starting tomorrow, order the army to fill the moat."

Zhang Yu felt that he had to give the army in the city some work and let them move.

They haven't eaten salt for a month, and as soon as they are active, they will find a lot of problems.

The army in the city has always maintained a low-intensity exercise, and usually only exercises for a while in the morning.

They are already intending to defend for a long time.

Zhang Yu began to fill the moat, which was the rhythm of the war, so the army in the city also began to mobilize and prepare.

"Hurry up, bring up the rocks and rolling logs."

"Let's go to the warehouse and pull a little out, put it under the city, and move it up at any time."

"Let the soldiers block the gates of the city with stones, and block them all, so that the enemy does not enter through the gates."

The city began to prepare, but the soldiers, as soon as they moved a little something, felt unwell and weak.

The problem was quickly revealed, one or two, or several, probably sick, probably the soldier wanted to be lazy.

However, when this happens to tens of thousands of people, the problem is serious.

"Governor, hurry up and ask the doctor, the soldiers are sick on a large scale, is this a plague?"

A general guarding the city didn't dare to go to Sun Ce, so he went directly to find Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu listened, his eyes widened, he breathed heavily a few times, and then said, "Take me to see." ”

Zhou Yu personally inspected the barracks and sent some doctors at the same time.

I made some rounds, especially to see the soldiers who were doing their work.

These soldiers, obviously weak, had just been carried, and they were sweating profusely before they had carried much.

Zhou Yu didn't dare to be careless and asked the doctor to check.

I checked hundreds of people, but I couldn't find any reason.

"It's not like the plague, Governor, but the soldiers are all sick, and it's the same disease."

Millions of people, suffering from the same disease, are not plagues.

I can't hide it at this time.

Zhou Yu immediately sent someone to report to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was shocked and immediately went to the barracks.

"Gong Jin, why do soldiers get sick together?"

When Sun Ce arrived at the barracks, he hurriedly asked.

Zhou Yu shook his head, not knowing.

Sun Ce ordered a thorough investigation, and at the same time asked all the doctors to immediately find out the cause of the disease.

These military doctors didn't know, but they called in a doctor outside, and a group of people got together and quickly found out the reason.

It turned out that this was the case not only in the army, but also in the city.

After some investigation, they understood why.

It's all because they don't eat salt.

People who have not eaten salt for a month, or who have not eaten enough salt, are weak and weak.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others were shocked when they received the news.

"It's actually salt, Zhang Yu is really powerful, my hundreds of thousands of troops, is it going to be defeated by salt." Sun Ce sighed.

Sun Ce was depressed, the national capital was surrounded, and at this time, such a serious thing happened.

Sun Ce didn't even ask what they could do unless they could get salt from outside the city.

Sun Ce didn't know what would happen if he didn't get the salt yet.

Once, Zhang Yu attacked, would he let the limp soldiers go to the city to fight.

If the money is enough, the soldier can go up and sell his life, he has hundreds of thousands of troops, and maybe he can really drag on for a while.

But, so what, they will still fail.

"Comfort the soldiers well and give them more food." Sun Ce finally left a sentence and went back.

He went to his own house.

It was their grandson's own estate, where Mrs. Wu and his younger brother were.

When Sun Ce went back, he didn't greet anyone else, he just sat in his yard and drank tea alone.

He was very melancholy, he was originally a hero, but now he was forced to this point.

This Sun Ce is a very proud person.

Proud people, but at this time encountered a kind of powerless thing.

On the battlefield, Sun Ce can be invincible.

However, this time the matter is already very tricky, and it will even bury everything for him.

Zhang Yu surrounded the city, and it was impossible for them to get salt from outside the city.

The soldiers had no salt to eat, and they were getting weaker, and the siege became very easy.

"Ce'er, are you troubled by the siege?" After Mrs. Wu found out, she came to see Sun Ce alone.

Sun Ce burst into tears, and then said, "Mother, I'm afraid the child is going to bury the entire Sun family." ”

Mrs. Wu was surprised, this Sun Ce has always been strong, and there are still hundreds of thousands of male soldiers at this time.

"Mother, if you are defeated, you are doomed to fail before you fight, and you don't have to kill people on the battlefield."

Sun Ce briefly explained the situation to Mrs. Wu.

How smart this Mrs. Wu is, in history, when Sun Ce just died, she relied on her to control the situation.

"Ce'er, you do it boldly, I'll let your two younger brothers, pretend to be civilians, and get out when the time comes, don't worry."

Mrs. Wu said: "We have a lot of silver tickets in our hands, let them be incognito in the future, just live a good life, and do whatever they want to do." ”

Mrs. Wu's words did give Sun Ce a lot of comfort, at least it also made him less burdened.
