Gan Ning successfully captured Zigui, but became even more angry.

He asked many people and finally came to a definite conclusion: Wu Qi had only two hundred reinforcements except for the original county soldiers. These people came from Yiling. The headed military marquis was called Pan Hua and the fake military marquis was called Beitangyu. He was quite kind, but their troops were all elite. After marching from Yiling, they only had a day off and continued to go to Wu County.

Gan Ning was both angry and anxious.

It is not embarrassing to be repelled by two hundred people. Siege is not an easy task, especially in a dangerous city like Wu County, where the casualties ratio between the offense and defense may even be as high as 10 to 1. What makes him feel embarrassed is that the two hundred people have exerted the momentum of one thousand people in their lifetime, which makes him feel timid and takes the initiative to retreat.

When did Gan Ning, the Jinfan thief who was scattered across the river, suffer such a loss?

Gan Ning was very angry, but he was not furious. He knew very well that as long as there were those two hundred people guarding Wu County, he would not be able to easily succeed, and the best effect was to lose both sides. He was unwilling to lose his manpower in this meaningless battle. After the robbery of Zigui, his anger had been vented to a certain extent, and reason regained the upper hand.

Zhou Yu's vanguard arrived in Wu County, and Yiling also fell into the hands of Lou Gui. The Yizhou army had lost its chance to make profits. The only feasible thing at the moment was to eat up the two hundred reinforcements in Wu County, take Zigui and Wu County into his hands, guard the Yizhou portal, and avoid the dilemma of returning without success.

Gan Ning decided to let Zhao Wei chew that tough bone. He sent someone to return to Yu Revenge and report to him, and he stayed in Zigui on standby. He was too lazy to see Zhao Wei's face, and would rather be recuperating in Zigui alone and be free and easy. But occasionally, the swords in the hands of the defenders in Wu County's head would always appear in front of him. When he thinks of those extremely sharp swords, he feels itchy. It would be great if he could get a thousand such swords to equip his subordinates.

——

Zhou Yu arranged the siege in an orderly manner. The generals took turns to go on the battlefield to practice the siege tactics, summarized while fighting, and made targeted adjustments. The Central Army camp timely counted the results and casualties of each department, promptly informed the entire army, and not only praised and commended the generals who were in charge of the battle, but also arranged for them to pass on their experience at the meeting, just like when they were training in the martial arts lecture hall.

But everyone has a sense of shame and a competitive spirit. No one wants to hang their tails every day. Those with poor record watch others receive rewards. When they hear successful experiences, they write them down in a small notebook, go back to discuss and conduct experiments with their subordinates, and strive to make progress. They don’t dare to be careless if they have good record. Now they show their faces. If they smash them, they will be embarrassing.

The generals chased each other, and they were more serious than usual.

The soldiers who fought at the battle were very busy, and the logistics were in charge of the process, and they gradually adapted to the rhythm of the war, especially the doctors in the camp. Every day, soldiers were injured and killed. They had to deal with the dead in time, the dead had to be collected, the injured had to be rescued, and the number of injured people had to be counted, and a report was submitted to the Central Army every day.

The baggage battalion was also very busy. They not only had to receive and receive food, grass, arrows and other combat supplies, but also had to build weapons. The stone thrower was damaged every day and needed to be repaired or even rebuilt, and the large amount of pillows they had to use every day also needed to be filled with soil.

When the war comes, the entire army is like a machine starting to operate at high speed, and every link must run smoothly, which can ensure that the army fights. If there is any negligence, various contradictions will accumulate quickly and eventually affect the morale of the entire army.

The Central Army is the hub of the entire battalion, and all the information must be summarized in front of Zhou Yu. In addition to paying attention to the progress of the siege, Zhou Yu also has to take charge of the situation of the entire battalion of the army, and is very busy. Fortunately, he is smart and capable, and has strong handling skills. Xun You and a group of young people who have just graduated from the martial arts lecture hall as counselors to handle various trivial matters. He is quite calm and can organize banquets from time to time, watch singing and dancing, and listen to music.

Half a month later, Zhao Yan first captured the outer city. Chen Ji retreated to the inner city and planned to continue to resist stubbornly.

Victory is in sight, but Zhou Yu is not in a hurry to attack the city. He arranged for people to control the occupied outer city and then did three things:

First, he ordered the people in the city to be evacuated and properly placed. When the frightened Jiangling people ate hot meals and confirmed that their lives were safe, many people shed tears. They have always heard the propaganda that Sun Ce was cruel, killing innocent people, killing the Xi family, and the Kuai family. Now Sun Ce's subordinates did not hurt them, but Chen Ji robbed their property.

Zhou Yu did not miss this opportunity. He arranged these people to promote and appease the people's hearts. He also found some people to report to the nearby Dangyang, Jingling and Zhijiang counties, and to rebel against the magistrates of each county, and strong men, and to raise food and grass. Not long after the autumn harvest, there were grain in each county's warehouses. Although Chen Jiqiang recruited some of them to Jiangling, there was still some surplus. Collecting these grains can also solve the supply of some of the grain. In extraordinary times, each county had some troops stationed. If it could be captured before, it would definitely take time. Now, Jiangling people are endorsed, and Zhou Yu does not need one soldier and one soldier, and the counties collapsed and surrendered to Zhou Yu.

Finally, Zhou Yu worshiped Sun Shuao's tomb. Sun Shuao was a famous minister of Chu State and was the chief minister. He has always been a sage worshipped by Jiangling people. His tomb was in the white soil in the city. Zhou Yu worshipped Sun Shuao not only to express his respect for Jiangling people, but also to express his willingness to take Sun Shuao as an example to benefit the people. He received unanimous praise from Jiangling people and became famous.

A few days later, food was shipped in nearby counties, and large trucks lined up in long queues, winding along the official road to the sky.

Chen Ji stood at the head of the inner city city, watching this scene every day, and the more he looked, the more he became more desperate. He knew that he underestimated his opponent. Although Zhou Yu was young, his methods were not bad at all. He was not only good at using troops, but also good at winning people's hearts. Although Jiangling City had not been conquered, Nanjun was already Zhou Yu's territory. He realized that he used war to support the war and used Nanjun's grain to support the army, so he could have persisted for a longer time.

Can I still wait until Nanyang changes? The outer city has only lasted for half a month, how many days can the inner city support it?

Just when Chen Ji was uneasy, someone came to report, and Zhou Yu sent a lobbyist again. Chen Ji frowned, thinking about whether to refuse, but the deputy general Deng Ji shook his head. "Mr., what's the harm in listening to people? At least you can understand what Zhou Yu has done, why are the Jiangling people supporting him so much now. Most of our subordinates are Jiangling people. If Zhou Yu sent their family outside when the two armies are fighting, how can we fight?"

Chen Ji took a breath of air conditioning and his face turned pale. He hesitated for a while, but decided to meet the lobbyist.

The lobbyist is a young scholar, under thirty years old, with a medium figure. Although he is wearing a Zika crown on his head and wearing a Confucian shirt, he walks lightly and looks like a swaying under his feet. After a while, he comes to Chen Ji. When Chen Ji saw it, he was stunned for a moment.
