Yuan Shao sent a small group of cavalry to test the city day and night, looking for an opportunity to burn the city wall.

However, the crossbowmen sent by Zhou Cheng were also on duty around the clock.

It was freezing cold, and both parties were in the heavy snow, enduring the cold.

After nightfall.

In Zhou Cheng's military tent, Zhou Cheng was still reading"Wei Liao Zi".

What he is watching now is"The Order"》

"The four golden drums, bells and flags have their own methods. The drums are used to advance, the heavy drums are used to attack, the golden ones are stopped, and the heavy metals are used to retreat. The bells are used to convey orders. The left of the flag is left, the right of the command is right, and the strange soldiers are. , one drum strikes to the left, one drum strikes to the right……"

Zhou Cheng had to admire the ancients for being able to command armies with just the use of gold, drums, bells, and flags.

A good fighting army does not refer to how brave the individual soldiers are, but whether the army can correctly execute orders.

In the noisy battlefield, discern the commander's thoughts through his voice.

When there is a war involving more than 100,000 soldiers on both sides, it is even more critical to obey orders.

At this time, the guard came in and said to Zhou Cheng:"My lord, the meat is ready."

Zhou Cheng said:"Bring it up"

"Here."The guards quickly brought up pots of dog meat.

In winter, dog meat is paired with wine. After eating, your body will feel warm.

Zhou Cheng said to Du Ji:"Bohou, please use it."

"Thank you Duke Zhou."Du Ji has been in Zhou Cheng's camp for a while.

During this time, Du Ji has gained weight.

The food in Zhou Cheng's camp is very good, and the 'pressure' is really not great.

The most important thing is that Zhou Cheng The atmosphere in the camp is very good.

Everyone speaks freely, and during discussions, they can analyze the pros and cons rationally and calmly.

Moreover, there are not only military affairs every day, but also government affairs sent from Jizhou, the base camp outside the Great Wall, and Fuyu New City. The newly revised laws and regulations The implementation status, as well as the feedback results.

Among them, there are also the observations and suggestions of the supervisors.

Although Du Ji did not worship Zhou Cheng as the lord, as a lord, Zhou Cheng is indeed excellent.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng is very active in learning, If you don't understand, just ask.

As counselors and ministers, Jia Xu and Li were both able to apply what they had learned in their lives.

Li Ru took a sip of wine and said,"My lord, Jizhou and Zhongshan were once invaded by the Xiongnu. The remaining counties have been stabilized this year." With the harvest, the people have stored food, and the residents of each county are grateful to the lord for his kindness. The lord can spread the message to all counties to welcome the refugees and resume farming on the wasteland.

Ordinary people are more realistic.

Although when Zhou Cheng entered Jizhou, he indeed plundered various counties and behaved like bandits and robbers. However, after Zhou Cheng took control of Jizhou, he began to restore order and sent troops to destroy the bandits and robbers in Jizhou, so that Jizhou could restore peace and the people could Go out of the city and farm in peace.

Now that Jizhou has finally stabilized, its grain production is not only self-sufficient, but the people in some counties still have grain reserves.

Even if Jizhou encounters a famine, it can survive it safely.

In these troubled times, Zhou Cheng was able to feed the people of Jizhou, which is already a good achievement.

Therefore, Li Ru suggested that Zhou Cheng export"virtuous politics" to the outside world and attract refugees from all over the world to Jizhou.

And refugees mean population. With population, there will be a source of soldiers, and at the same time, there will be production capacity.

One goes down and the other goes up.

As states lose their population, Zhou Cheng will strengthen.

This is also the follow-up plan of the two poisonous men Jia Xu and Li Ru.

First, they provoked wars in Liangzhou and Yongzhou, causing the refugees in Liangzhou and Yongzhou to lose their homes, and then took the opportunity to absorb the refugees and strengthen themselves.

Conquering the world cannot be achieved by just one battle or by capturing a city. What is needed is an overall plan.

Fortunately, although there were not many counselors around Zhou Cheng, they were all good at far-sightedness.

Zhou Cheng said,"Well, I'll leave this matter to Wen Qian."

Zhen Xian and Zhen family are now under Zhou Cheng's high regard.

Zhen and Zhou Cheng were tied together through marriage.

And Zhou Cheng has shown his intention to conquer the world and has the foundation to conquer the world.

The degree of attachment of the Zhen family and Zhao family to Zhou Cheng will only be higher

……

January 197 AD.

Jinyang City has been besieged so far, and Zhou Cheng has no plans to withdraw his troops.

Although Yuan Shao had already sent people to lobby Gongsun Zan, hoping that Gongsun Zan would send troops to attack Zhou Cheng and force Zhou Cheng to withdraw his troops.

However, Gongsun Zan now occupies Youzhou and Qingzhou, his troops are scattered, and the territory has not been fully digested.

At the same time, Liu Yu's son Liuhe, Yan Rou, Xian Yufu and others were still causing trouble for Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan has no time to start a war now.

As for Liangzhou, the conflict between Ma Teng and Han Sui broke out, and each Qiang tribe had its own target of support.

The fighting between the two sides in Liangzhou caused further chaos in Liangzhou.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Lu Bu's entry into Yongzhou was not as smooth as expected.

Huangpu Li obviously did not welcome Lu Bu.

As soon as Lu Bu arrived in Yongzhou, he launched an army to plunder, which aroused the disgust of the wealthy families in Yongzhou.

Although Gao Shun advised Lu Bu many times, Lu Bu just couldn't listen.

Isn’t Zhou Cheng robbing everyone?

Could Zhou Cheng steal it? Can't he, Lu Bu, grab it?

Lu Bu's looting aroused the anger of the people of Yongzhou. With the support of the Yongzhou noble family, Huangfu Li raised 30,000 troops to attack Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was not afraid of Huangfu Li either. He sent Gao Shun as the vanguard to attack Anyang County, while he led his army to attack Wenxi County and prepared to seize Hedong County by force.
