Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 386 Respond to all changes with the same.

By the moat, Zhou Tai was desperately trying to grab water, while the artillery of the Qin army on the opposite side was bombarding wildly. It could even be said that the bucket was not water, but the blood of Soochow soldiers.

The fire started in the middle of the night and continued to burn until the sky was bright.Although Jia Xu's plan of attacking with fire caught Zhou Yu by surprise, Zhou Yu remained calm in the face of danger and directed the firefighting.

The east and north of Chanling City, where the fire is most serious, have been completely burned to ashes at this time. At this time, there are still open fires and dark fires burning.

In the two directions of the south and west of the city where the fire is relatively light, under Zhou Yu's command, most of the fire has been extinguished.

After saving the south and west of the city, Zhou Yu simply didn't care about the two directions of the east and north of the city where the fire was serious.The fires in these two places were so intense that it was no longer necessary to fight the fire.

However, the situation in Chanling City is also said to be very serious, and all the soldiers are gathered in the south and west of the city.At this time, the south and west of Chanling City were already crowded with people.

Outside Chanling City, on top of the earth hill,
At this time, the Soochow army was no longer drawing water from the moat, so the Qin army's artillery was no longer roaring.However, after this night's high-intensity bombing, these artillery pieces of the Qin Army have been fired red, and even the barrels have been shot limply.

"Hey, this Zhou Yu is not easy, since he has saved the two places in the west and south of the city."

"It seems that Chanling City has to be taken by force." Jia Xu said with a sigh.

A big fire did not achieve the expected effect. Of course, it has already caused heavy losses to the Soochow army and horses in Chanling City.

"This week, Zhou Yu can command Jiangdong's land and water armies. If he doesn't even have this commanding ability, he will pretend to be the governor of the Eastern Wu."

"It can be said that the fire of the military division has burned the army of the Eastern Wu army. Now most of the city of Chanling has been reduced to ashes. Compared with the Wu army's food, grass and military equipment, it must have fallen into the sea of ​​​​fire. Now most of the Wu army is afraid to think about it. It is even more difficult to find a place to lie down." Chen Qingzhi stood on the dirt hill and looked into the city.

"King Qin, here!" At this moment, a loud shout came, and Li Chen stepped up the dirt hill.

"Military division, celebrate."

"The fire in Chanling City was set by the two of you?" Li Chen asked the two of them.

"This plan was made by the minister, it has nothing to do with the commander in chief, please ask the king of Qin to punish the minister alone." Jia Xu said hastily.

Hearing this, Li Chen thought to himself, why should I punish you, this fire may have killed many soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu.This is a great achievement, so what is the punishment.

"Why did Wen He make such a statement, and where did he come up with the theory of punishment?" Li Chen asked puzzled.

"King Qin, you have to punish me for this matter, and it would be best if you hit me with dozens of army sticks." Jia Xu said with a straight face.

Li Chen was very surprised by Jia Xu's words, he said that he had done a great job, but in the end he had to let himself punish him, it would be best to beat him up.

Good guy, this Jia Wenhe is not a jerk, right? I have to let myself beat him hard with a small leather whip, right?

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

"Wen He, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and you will be punished for your faults. If you ask me to punish you, there must be a reason anyway, right?" Li Chen asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu explained: "King Qin, although the fire caused heavy losses to the soldiers of the Eastern Wu. But there are not only the soldiers of the Eastern Wu in this city, but also some people who stayed in the city."

"It's an ominous killing. What's more, today's fire has accidentally killed many people in Dongwu. If Jia Xu is not punished, I'm afraid that people will be criticized in the future."

Jia Xu is also thinking about Li Chen, who is going to ascend the throne and become emperor in the future.Since you want to be the emperor, you have to set up a generous and benevolent person.If not, I'm afraid that even if he becomes the emperor, he will have his spine pierced by these poor scholars and sour scholars.

Just like in the history of the previous life, during the period of disputes between the Three Kingdoms, in terms of territory and power, when Soochow and Shuhan were at their peak, he might not be able to compete with Cao Wei.

From this point of view, Cao Cao, who holds Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in his hand, is also orthodox.

But even so, people still widely believe that the Shu Han who lived in the land of Bashu is orthodox.

This is the charm of the character design. Although Liu Bei ran around and achieved nothing in the first half of his life, he has set up a generous and benevolent character.Although Cao Cao is the strongest and has the largest territory, he is a hero who coerces the emperor to make the princes.

The reason why Jia Xu was unwilling to tell Li Chen when he planned to burn the tomb with fire.His purpose is to entrust these subordinates to do all the dirty work that requires infamy.

But Li Chen needs to sit on the throne for the future, and leave a reputation of loving the people like a son in advance.

What Jia Xu said is indeed good, but who is Li Chen?

In Li Chen's view, there is nothing wrong with saying that he loves the people like his son.But those people in Chanling City, whose people are they?Those are the people of Soochow Wu, and only after the Chanling is taken down, these people are the people of his Great Qin.Since he is a citizen of Soochow Wu, what does it matter whether he lives or dies?

Those who have stayed in the city at this time and have not fled are all hardcore supporters of Wu.From Li Chen's point of view, it's not too many to die.

"Wen He thinks too much. I, Li Chen, was born as a bandit, so I don't understand so many important principles."

"I only know one thing now, and that is the confrontation between the enemy and us. Either you die or we live. Before the Soochow Army in the city surrendered, it would not be an exaggeration to use any means."

"It's not necessarily a good thing that more people died in Chanling City." Li Chen said coldly.

Many people died in Chanling City, letting Wu Jun know that Daqin is irresistible. If the first battle can destroy the willpower of the enemy, then there will be a lot of strength left for subsequent attacks.

"What do you think the commander-in-chief should do in the next battle?" Jia Xu looked at Chen Qingzhi and asked.

Chen Qingzhi thought for a moment, and said: "The military division's fire completely reduced half of Chanling City to ashes, and the food, grass, and military equipment in the city suffered heavy losses. With so many soldiers and horses of the Eastern Wu Dynasty in the city, the food and grass consumed by the city is one day. A lot of numbers."

"In my opinion, change should be kept constant. Let's besiege and not attack now. When the food and grass in the city are exhausted, this Chanling city will be destroyed without attack."

From Chen Qingzhi's point of view, the Qin army had already taken the absolute initiative on the battlefield.That being the case, there is no need to spend troops and horses to forcibly attack the city.

If the city is forcibly attacked, although Chanling City can be taken down as soon as possible, it will inevitably consume a lot of soldiers and horses.In this way, it will affect the subsequent offensive rhythm.

That being the case, it is better to wait and see what happens, and wait until Chanling City is destroyed without attacking, and then use the superior force to directly take the land of the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River.
