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

On the 11th, the Central Army of the Eastern Wu came out under the leadership of Zuo Yi, Cai Gong, Wu Yan and others, and attacked the west, north and east gates of Xiling respectively. Then it was shameful to suffer a complete failure.

On the 12th, Lu Shu, Lu Mu and Zhou Chu led their troops to attack. Although the Wunan Army once attacked the east wall and occupied a section of the battlements, the generals of the Bu family adjusted their troops in time, especially after taking out the reserve team of the Wunan Army, they were inevitably pushed off the city wall. Wunan Supervised Zhou Chu, carrying ten arrows on his back, and almost died that night.

On the 13th, Shi Ji, who was angry and embarrassed, led his private soldiers to fight in person, but he still couldn't see any hope of breaking the city.

On the 14th, the weak naval army of the Bu family launched a night attack, sneaked out from the south gate of Xiling City (Shuimen) and put down countless small sampans covered with dry firewood. The Jingzhou naval army of the Eastern Wu gathered in the lower reaches of Xiling City was not evacuated for a while. Because of the burning, they collided with each other and lost thirteen battleships. About one thousand people were killed, burned and missing.

On the 15th, Xiling North Gate Tower.

This city was built by Lu Xun and reinforced by Bu Zhi. Now, the outer city of Xiling is ten feet high (23 meters) and more than three feet thick. The inner city is even as high as twelve feet. As Lu Kang said, such a city cannot be captured in a short time.

Although he was unreliable on weekdays, when his family survived and died, Buchan Bu Zhongsi still stood firm like never before. From the end of May, he placed his dormitory on the north gate of Xiling.

"The head of the family, the statistics of the war losses in the past few days have been found. My family has killed more than 700 people and injured more than 600 people. The bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones are consumed less than half of the inventory."

"Hmph, Shi Gongxu is just like this. He sent the order, and each family gave one thousand coins, and each family was injured, five hundred coins. In addition, all those who came to the city to defend, each person had one hundred coins!"

"Here!"

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

"This, head of the family, my family is now surrounded by a city. The only one who can get the news is the South Gate. But after going out from the South Gate, you have to take a detour to enter Jianping County and then cross Daba Mountain to enter Shangyong County in Jin State. The news will take too long to communicate with... Well, head of the family, the closest group of envoys in my family set out five days ago. Even if everything goes well, the news will be transmitted to Xiangyang in Jin State, and it will take at least 20 days."

"Oh, forgot. I'm also anxious. Humph, this crazy man, I used to ask him for the technique of sending Fei Ge's transmission, and the price was 100 million yuan, but this guy just won't give it to you! As long as I survived this difficulty, I will definitely give you a good look on the Fuxing Society in the future!"

Just as Bu Chan was cursing Guan Yi on the Xiling City Tower, tactical reviews were also being conducted in the Wu army's tent outside the city.

"Oh, I regret not listening to the words of the young festival, and wasted half a month."

"Grand Sima, our army was only frustrated in the first battle. As long as we persist in attacking, Xiling will be destroyed!"

"Needless to say, Xiling is indeed not something that can be defeated in the short term. Now our army has changed its strategy. All the generals obey orders!"

"We are waiting for the Grand Sima to issue the order!"

"I immediately wrote to the Jingzhou Patriarchal Palace and asked them to immediately send 50,000 civilians to Xiling and start building walls around Xiling! Please ask Zi Zhan (Lu Shu) to be fully responsible for this matter. Construction must start before the 20th!"

"I'm going to receive the order!"

"During our army's wall construction, the most worrying thing is that the Jin army is heading south at this time. Ji Yang (Lu Mu), please lead your private soldiers from the Lu family to the south side of Lintao County of Jin State. You only need to monitor the other party. At least our army has more than three days of reaction time."

"I'm going to receive the order!"

"Shi Ze (Wu Yan), Bo Guang (Zuo Yi), Zi Shang (Cai Gong), and Er, each led 5,000 troops to guard the three gates of Xiling to guard the Bu Jia soldiers in Xiling City to rush out."

"We'll receive the order!"

"Well, young days, do you see if there is anything else to add?"

"Well, Grand Sima. It's mid-June now, and the local area is about to enter a high-temperature and rainy season. Therefore, in terms of construction, there is no need to use rammed earth as the wall. You should insert more branches and thorns, and then pour them directly on the mud. If God blesses you, the scorching sun will be in the sky for several days in a row, and the wall will be formed!"

"Good, is there any?"

"Our army's naval forces should be bolder, split half of them, and directly cross the south gate of Xiling and stationed at the upper reaches of Xiling. Although the rainy season is about to begin, the torrent speed in the Three Gorges has increased sharply. But as long as we prepare in advance, it should be fine. It should be noted that our army has not actually completely cut off the connection between Xiling City and the outside world. So..."

"Seriously, since our army has made up the idea of ​​siege Xiling for a long time, this news that isolates the inside and outside of Xiling is something that must be done. I will issue an order to order the first and second parts of the Jingzhou Navy to move forward. Is there any more?"

"Uh, there is also that. Please help the brothers from the school to work hard and intercept and kill the people from the Jin State's referee as much as possible. The Jin State gets news for one day, and our wall will be reinforced for one more day."

"Stern, you all have heard it clearly. Youthful thoughts are my opinion. Everyone should separate and do things!"

"Here!"

...

After Shi Ji adjusted his strategy, he quickly drafted a related report for Sun Hao, who was far away in Jianye. Five days later, the report was quickly delivered to Sun Hao.

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

"Your Majesty, Zuo Dasima has adjusted very timely. Although Ding Feng has been stationed in Huainan for a long time, he does not know much about the situation in Jingzhou. However, Xiling Jiancheng is definitely not so easy to take down."

"Well, Shiji, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think we need to do two things now. One is that Your Majesty issued an order to comfort the soldiers on the Xiling front line. And it is clear that you are extremely patient with this rebellion. Let them do it boldly and not be in a hurry. Secondly, since the rebellion has been inevitable and long-term, the support of the army and money and food in Jianye is necessary."

"Your Majesty, what the Secretary of the State is saying is very precise, and the old minister will approve it!"

"Your Majesty, I am Lu Kai (Wan Yu) to discuss it!"

"Haha, Shi Ji is indeed a great talent. Hey, you guys, you may not know yet? Before I ascended the great treasure, Shi Ji asserted that Lu Youjie will be my Zhou Gongjin in the future! Good luck, let's do it according to Shi Ji's wishes. However, this support force... Right Grand Sima, do you have any good people to choose?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend the right general Zhuge Liang to lead five thousand troops to the west to support him."

The so-called Zhuge Liang is the youngest son of Zhuge Dan, the Sanguili Li in Huainan. When Zhuge Dan raised an army to attack Sima Zhao, he was sent to Jianye as a hostage in order to obtain the support of the Eastern Wu. After Zhuge Dan was defeated, he was destroyed by the three tribes. He stayed in the Eastern Wu, continuing the incense of Zhuge Dan's lineage.

"Well, I remember that the right general's name is Zhongsi, right? Shan, let this Zhongsi take down another Zhongsi, it's interesting. So, who will give Zhuge Zhongsi the deputy general?"

"Your Majesty, the old man recommended the grandson of the former general Sun Ben, and now the governor of the tent, Sun Zhen, to serve as the grandson of Sun Zhen. This son is only twenty years old, and his martial arts are really comparable to Zhou Youping (Zhou Tai) in the past. He is just too obsessed with martial arts and does not understand the way of battle formations. This time, I will learn from Zhongsi well. Maybe it is also a good general of my new generation of Great Wu. Alas, Lu Youjie's performance this time has made me deeply feel the feeling of the waves of the Yangtze River. The generational alternation of Western Shu has almost been completed. It is really too late to change my generational alternation of Great Wu if I don't start again. Oh, Your Majesty, the old man is old and speaks very badly. Please understand..."

"Haha, the good health of the Right Grand Sima is my blessing for Da Wu. I have to rely on you many places. Well, then I will be the one who is the General of Dingxi Zhonglang and let him follow the Right General to Xiling to support him."

"I will obey the order!"

"Everyone, although I have killed many people since I ascended the throne, I have raided many people's homes. But you should all know that these people deserve their sins. I am definitely not a tyrannical person who kills them indiscriminately. As long as all the ministers are loyal to the king's affairs, how can we not have a good end to this friendship between the king and the minister?"
