Zhang Yu's sneak attack gave them a fatal blow.
Sun CE didn't dare to stay on the road and went straight back to Changsha City.
Although Zhou Yu stayed, he also knew that there had been a major change in the delay plan. On the way, he was afraid that he could not hold Zhang Yu for long.
In fact, if Guo Jiaji and Xi Zhicai had not arranged along the road for safety, they would have reached the bottom of Changsha.
Guo Jia and they naturally knew that the city of Changsha was solid and could not be broken quickly, so they were ready for a long-term battle.
What is a long-term war is to prepare a lot of strongholds along the road, or to prepare the grain road.
The front is too long. Thousands of miles from Jiangdong, without stable grain supply, the army can't fight at all.
However, they have ships, and a large number of ships are recruited. They can use them for the first half of the year in one time.
In addition to hoarding a large amount of grain and grass in jiangxiakou, Guo Jia also planned to occupy some cities along the Dongting Lake, and then build a stable camp near Changsha. After that, things will be easier.
Zhou Yu also understood the enemy's tactics, but he had no way to solve them.
Two months later, Zhang Yu's army finally reached Changsha.
Zhang Liao arrived with 100000 troops and Zhang Yu's 50000 troops.
After sun CE's management, the city wall of Changsha is tall, and there is plenty of food and grass in it.
When Zhang Yu arrived, there was no siege, and sun CE did not immediately blockade the city. He just checked it carefully and opened it for two hours every day.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed that I failed to hold down the army of the Tang Dynasty." During the court meeting, Zhou Yu took the initiative to plead guilty.
Sun CE pressed his hand, and then said, "it's not Gongjin's crime, but the enemy's preparation."
Sun CE looked around at his civil and military officials, and then said: "Changsha City is solid, and the food and grass can be used for several years. You don't have to worry. We will work together to block Zhang Yu's army."
Sun CE cheered people up and reassured them as much as possible. Then he said, "Cai Mao and Cao Cao have already started to act. In a few days, the encirclement of Changsha City will naturally break. He came from thousands of miles, destined to be unable to last long. "
What sun CE said is reasonable. That's what happened.
But it's one thing whether they can develop as they want.
When Zhang Yu arrived outside the city, he didn't mean to attack the city at all.
General, now as long as Zhang Liao and Dian Wei arrive, Huang Zhong is not far away and will arrive soon.
"Lord, why don't we attack the city as soon as possible? We can certainly capture the city in three months." Dian Wei said impatiently.
Zhang Yu didn't answer. It's not easy to transport hundreds of thousands of troops' grain and grass here.
"Strong attack, down, we have at least one year to recover." Zhang Yu looked at the direction of the city light said.
It's not a simple matter that sun CE and Zhou Yu are able to break through such a city.
Zhang Yu will never take risks. He wants to unify the world as soon as possible.
Zhang Yu's army slowly gathered to Changsha City. Zhang Liao is already building a camp, and will build a strong camp ten miles outside Changsha City.
This camp may be used by hundreds of thousands of troops in the future.
It's not easy to build a stronghold. It needs sanitation and strong defense.
Here, Zhang Liao planned to build three lines of defense. At this time, everyone in Changsha was nervous, and the enemy troops were all killed under their capital.
Sun CE founded his country in Changsha. It wasn't long before the enemy arrived. The enemy built barracks under the city.
Sun CE also thought about taking advantage of their unstable foothold to attack their camp, but he finally rejected it.
Zhang Yu won't let them sneak attack easily. Even if they win, the final loss won't be small. It won't be worth it at that time.
Sun CE's top priority is to be ready for long-term defense.
People's life in Changsha is greatly affected.
At present, the city has not been banned, but I believe it will soon be.
Some people who have a way have already fled the city, which is about to be covered by the fire of war.
However, it is strange that there are not many rumors in the city.
In the past, Zhang Yu was the best at using rumors. His intelligence personnel were all over the place, and Cao ang was the best at understanding them, so he got sun CE's attention early through official channels.
Sun CE specially appointed a general to pay attention to this matter and scattered all the people.
But what sun CE didn't know was that soon after his order was issued, he was discovered, and then someone immediately spread the news, and all the spies of the Tang Dynasty disappeared.
They don't worry. Since rumors don't hurt much, don't expose yourself. They will come out when they are useful in the future.
In Changsha City, a large number of large families slipped away before sun CE came back.
They know very well that it is not easy to keep this city.
Now, Zhang Yu has laid down half of the country.
This half of the country is powerful, and there is no big suspense to capture the whole world, unless Zhang Yu is killed himself.
Therefore, those big families will not perish together with sun CE.
Only ordinary people don't understand the world at all, so they don't know what to do and stay in the city.
Zhang Yu met several people in the new account.
These people are intelligence personnel from Changsha City.
"What about the arrangement of grain and grass in the city?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Your Majesty, there is a lot of food and grass in the city, and there are many warehouses, but they are all guarded by heavy troops. Maybe we can burn one or two warehouses, but we can't if we have more."
Zhang Yu nodded silently and burned one or two warehouses, which would only affect their morale, but not much.
"How about the salt in the city? Do you have any reserves? " Zhang Yu asked.
A few intelligence personnel are a Leng, don't know Zhang Yu to ask this why.
"Check it immediately, and find out the price of salt in the market."
Several people took Zhang Yu's order and went back immediately.
This order is a little strange. How can we ask about salt in war.
Several people went to inquire.
A few days later, a few people came back.
"Your Majesty, we have found out that there are indeed salt warehouses in the city, one for the government and one for the private. However, there was no salt in the private warehouses as early as two months ago."
"Now the price of salt in the city has more than doubled."
Zhang Yu began to weigh these intelligence, here salt is bought from him, this he is very clear.
More than half a year ago, after they went to war, Zhang Yu cut off their salt, and at the same time, he gradually raised the price of CAI Mao and Cao Cao.
The price has gone up by 50% and will continue to go up.
"Maybe salt is a breakthrough."
