594, Zhang Xun, Ji Ling
Chen Deng listened to Zhou Yu's plan, and he couldn't help but admire it a little in his heart.
Therefore, Chen Deng felt that Zhu Wei did have some qualifications as a master, and he did not necessarily need much talent to be the master, as long as his subordinates could be assisted by talents, the master could be relieved to admonish, and the great cause could naturally be accomplished.
Now Zhu Wei is assisted by old, middle-aged and young strategists like Jia Xu, Lu Su, and Zhou Yu, and the young Zhuge Liang on the side seems to be extraordinary.
Zhu Wei has so many talents under him, so why can't he talk about big things.
At the same time, according to Zhou Yu's plan, he is now as a confidant and strategist on Lu Bu's side, he can indeed do a lot of things, if he succeeds in contributing this time, he will naturally be able to make great contributions, which can be regarded as a great gift from the Xuzhou Chen family officially invested in Zhu Wei's account.
After this matter was settled, Chen Deng said goodbye and left, and Zhu Wei discussed Zhou Yu's strategy in detail, and then also sent a messenger to Cao Ying, because an accident that Lu Bu might cause had become an opportunity for Zhu Wei to plot for profit before it happened.
In this way, as Lu Bu and Liu Bei came to Zhu Wei to ask for siege equipment, there was nothing to say about this day.
Although Zhu Wei's side already had something to guard against Lu Bu's sudden rebellion, it would not delay the normal siege battle for the time being, and now Zhu Wei's army came to Shouchun City one day later than the combined forces of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei.
Therefore, now Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei have launched an offensive at the north gate, east gate, and west gate of Shouchun City, although the progress of the siege of their three armies is mainly in the early stage of filling the moat, but after all, it can be regarded as having begun to attack the city.
Therefore, after Zhu Wei arrived outside the south gate of Shouchun City, he naturally couldn't continue to fish and watch the play, so after a day of repair, Zhu Wei's army officially launched an attack on the south gate of Shouchun City.
The large military camp built by Zhu Wei's army outside the south gate of Shouchun City is three or four miles away from Shouchun City, so it does not take much to go out of the military village, and it can be regarded as entering the battlefield outside the south gate of Shouchun City.
It can be said that this time Zhu Wei's army directly built the large army camp to the edge of the battlefield, so that Zhu Wei did not have to go out of the military village, as long as he built a high platform in the wall, he could command the battle ahead.
At the same time, the camp of Zhu Wei's more than 100,000 troops was also spread out outside the south gate of Shouchun City, as if it had surrounded the south side of Shouchun City, and it was like forming a new town outside Shouchun City.
In this way, Zhu Wei's army can launch a continuous attack on Shouchun City, anyway, the distance between the large army camp and the city is very close, and the troops can be rotated to attack the city at any time.
Therefore, once the war starts, it will not stop easily.
Therefore, on the morning of May 22, 198 AD, the battle of Zhu Wei's army to attack Shouchun City officially broke out.
With the beating of the war drums in the Zhu Wei army camp, from the open gate of the military village, Zhu Wei's army went to the south gate of Shouchun City in an orderly manner.
In this first battle, Zhu Wei sent at least 30,000 or 40,000 troops, Pang Yan's Xionglu battalion was on the left, Tai Shici's Shenjian battalion was on the right, and among them were the Chinese military battalion and auxiliaries pushing various siege equipment.
As for Zhu Weize, together with Jia Xu, Lu Su, and Zhou Yu, the three military divisions, they stood on a command platform built at the forefront of Zhu Wei's military village, and sure enough, they didn't need to leave the military village to command the battle against Shouchun City.
Now Zhu Wei's bamboo and wood structure command platform is also four or five stories high, and Zhu Wei can see the siege battle of the army in front of him from a distance.
At the same time, Zhu Wei also held a bronze monocular in his hand, and the chip in it was made of natural transparent crystal, which was enough for Zhu Wei to clearly see the appearance of the defending generals above the south gate of Shouchun City three or four miles away.
Because Shouchun City at this time was besieged by Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei at the same time.
Therefore, Yuan Shu did not go to any city gate to directly direct the battle, but only assigned his subordinates to guard the four city gates, and he himself stayed in the palace in the city to command the overall situation.
Of course, now the war has not really developed to the dangerous moment of siege, and the so-called siege of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei has not even been able to really touch the city wall, and they are basically still trying to find a way to bury the moat.
Otherwise, Liu Bei and Lu Bu would not have thought of borrowing siege equipment from Zhu Wei's side, although they may have other thoughts, but they do have some practical problems that they don't know where to start with the tall Shouchun City.
As for Yuan Shu in Shouchun City, after all, he also controls the strength of tens or 200,000 troops, which is enough for him to place tens of thousands of troops to guard at the gates of all cities, and has sufficient troops to allocate and use, so Yuan Shu lives in the city to command the overall situation, and now it is indeed the best choice, and he does not have to be biased for the time being.
Of course, compared with the threat of Lu Bu and Liu Bei's armies outside the east and west gates, Yuan Shu mainly focused on the armies of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao at the south and north city gates.
Now Yuan Shu placed it at the south gate to defend against Zhu Wei's army, and the general Zhang Xun was named the emperor by Yuan Shu.
As the so-called general of the Zhong Dynasty by Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun can also be regarded as the first person in Yuan Shu's army, which shows that Yuan Shu actually attaches more importance to Zhu Wei's side.
Now Zhu Wei saw the "Zhang" character general flag hanging on the city gate tower through the monocular, and also saw Zhang Xun wearing battle armor and commanding in the sword pavilion on the city gate tower.
Zhang Xun is about forty-two or three years old, he and Ji Ling are rare general-level talents under Yuan Shu's account in the Three Kingdoms game, Zhu Wei had earlier discovered Yuan Shu's intelligence through the Three Kingdoms game system, so Zhu Wei is also very clear about Zhang Xun's character attributes.
"Zhang Xun, general, city Shouchun, Yuan Shu's subordinate, age 43, loyalty 98, 4 years of service, soldier 25437, intelligence 65, politics 54, force 70, charm 73, land index 69, water index 70, training 65, morale 55."
This Zhang Xun, like Ji Ling, can be regarded as a talented general cultivated in the Yuan family, so after Yuan Shu came out to create a foundation, he and Ji Ling became the foundation of Yuan Shu's team.
It can be said that Ji Ling is more like the type of personal guard around Yuan Shu, so many times he leads his own soldiers to guard Yuan Shu's side, and rarely has the opportunity to lead the troops to fight alone.
And Zhang Xun is different, as the general of Yuan Shu's division, Zhang Xun is often responsible for leading the troops to fight for the commander or something, but Yuan Shu also regards him as a confidant and does not mean to treat him as an outcast.
Therefore, Yuan Shu also sent people to break off several times before, but he appointed Qiao Rui as a general, but did not send Zhang Xun, but in fact, Zhang Xun was the first general under Yuan Shu's account.
It can be said that Zhang Xun and Ji Ling are the type of the main and the second, and they are both rare talents cultivated by the Yuan family for Yuan Shu, the head of the lineage......
