After some night chats, the relationship between Shang Ji and Fu Zhu warmed up sharply, although it was far from the point of putting his heart into his heart, but the relationship between his colleagues was much closer than that of ordinary colleagues.

This also laid the foundation for Shang Ji's future interactions, and the personal sense of Shang Ji was still good. Although you are a little scoundrel, a person with a higher status than you can gain a lot of favor from you by using Laipi's methods.

And the long sigh between the two of them after that also made Fu Zhi understand Shang Ji a little. I didn't see anything else, but at least I could understand that Shang Ji was not a simple martial artist, he could listen to criticism and advice, and he also had unique insights into the general trend of the world, and he could also be called a corporal of Lixian to people.

In many cases, if you meet these points at the same time, you can already be called a qualified master, but you are not an ordinary person, and you will not be so simple to give birth to the heart of contribution. Shang Ji wants to subdue the frustration, this is the first step of the long march.

With a happy mood, Shang Ji left the camp of frustration, although there was no substantial gain, but it was a good start to accept frustration.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhi convened the generals again.

This time, the generals were not allowed to speak, and Lu Zhi directly made a decision on the siege plan. In fact, there is nothing new, just what a few people said yesterday, although Lu Zhi also knew in his heart that these water attacks and fire attacks were not very reliable, but he had no other way but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

Next is the vigorous siege battle, Lu Zhi's army carefully approached Guangzong City, ordinary catapults, torch stone vehicles, city-breaking dragon cannons, fire oil, bed crossbows and other siege equipment approached, and began the attack on Guangzong!

This attack is half a month.

During this time, Shang Ji and his subordinate armies remained idle. Lu Zhi is not short of troops at present, although the loss of the siege in the past half a month is not small, but the county soldiers from various states and counties have not only made up for this loss, but also has a lot of surplus, and now Lu Zhi's army has swelled to the point of six million.

And Shang Ji's command is full of cavalry, so Lu Zhi naturally won't be stupid enough to let the elite cavalry be consumed in the siege battle.

Not only Shang Ji, but even Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan were basically in a state of idleness, and even the two million northern troops in Lu Zhi's headquarters rarely participated in the siege of the city, and now the main force of the Han army on the battlefield is all county soldiers from all over the country.

The two sides surround Guangzong City, you come and go, all kinds of tricks are exerted, the west city wall of Guangzong City has long been riddled with holes, but it is still standing.

Because he wished that the Yellow Turban Army would abandon the city, Lu Zhi basically did not encircle Guangzong, and only gathered a large army in Xicheng, which was the main attack, and only sent a small number of symbolic troops to monitor the other three city walls.

In the face of Lu Zhi's style of playing, the Yellow Turban Army was unwavering and held Guangzong City. Because the troops were extremely abundant, the other three city walls also sent a considerable number of troops, so that Lu Zhisheng's plan to attack the east and west was stillborn.

Because there was no siege mission, Shang Ji focused on his own affairs, first of all, the more than one million captives had been basically escorted.

Of the total 1.54 million prisoners of war, Deng Yan successfully received 1.42 million, of which 120,000 did not make it to Liaodong alive due to various factors such as illness, disability, and execution.

Of these 1,420,000, 260,000 qualified third-order soldiers were selected. Liu Yi is intensively training and training him.

The completion of the training of these more than 200,000 soldiers can greatly alleviate the problem of defensive emptiness caused by the main force led by Shang Ji in Liaodong.

The remaining 1 million or so "unqualified" soldiers were also sent to various parts of eastern Liaoning in batches after receiving simple rectification to serve as high-level laborers, which also alleviated the development dilemma caused by the lack of population.

Not only that, but the merchants also offered "huge" bounties to buy prisoners of war at a price of two gold per person.

Because of the disappearance of the fortune of heaven, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army has been greatly reduced, and a lot of prisoners of war have been captured in various states and counties, and they are also facing Lu Zhi's original predicament.

Forced by wealth, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zhan even went down in person, hunting and arresting the Yellow Turban router.

Seeing that the merchants had gathered so much of the population at a low price, the lord players followed suit, but the effect was quite limited.

Except for Yan Huang, no force has the ability to escort prisoners of war in large quantities over long distances like Shang Ji, and the focus of this battlefield in Yan Huang is in Yingchuan County in the south, and the Jizhou Yellow Turban is also a little beyond the reach of Yan Huang.

The local lords of Jizhou were almost wiped out due to the war.

Players who chose the Han faction were swept away by the Yellow Turbans at the beginning of the war, and those who chose the Yellow Turban faction were pushed back after the Yellow Turbans lost their fortunes.

Nowadays, in the entire territory of Jizhou, there is no one in ten player lords, and the scale is even rarer, and the few surviving lord players themselves have an extremely rich harvest, at least the population is not lacking, and there is no need to compete with Shang Ji in this regard.

Generally speaking, those who have the ability to compete do not need to compete, and those who are eager to compete do not have the ability, and the "population migration (buying) and moving (selling)" market in the entire north is all in the pocket of merchants.

On the contrary, the players who turned into rogues and mercenaries were very active, but the latter was an important "supplier" to the merchants, and a large part of the prisoners of war were captured by them; As for the former, there is no attention from the player Liukou Group who dares to fight the merchants!

During this period of time, the trading of merchants has been in full swing, and the cumulative number of people purchased has exceeded the number of prisoners in Quzhou City before, and according to the development of the situation, this number will soon usher in another skyrocket.

In recent days, there has been a phenomenon of non-Yellow Turban prisoners of war taking the initiative to come and sell themselves, and the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou have been raging, causing hundreds of people to be displaced, and many families that were originally healthy have instantly turned into extreme poverty, and a large number of displaced people have come into being.

With Liu Hong's temperament, he naturally will not help the victims, and the homeless people with no food to eat will naturally become homeless.

The inaction of the imperial court provided convenience to Shang Ji, and he had urgently notified Deng Yan and asked him to send professional government officials to Jizhou to recruit displaced people. This kind of homeless people are willing to follow as long as they are fed, and the cost is much more cost-effective than the merchant's purchase of prisoners of war. Moreover, compared with the Yellow Turban prisoners of war, the hidden danger of the displaced people is smaller, and it is more suitable for large-scale recruitment.

In order to cooperate with the transfer of displaced people and prisoners of war, Ling Cao was almost too busy to touch the ground, and more than 20 junk ships were running around the sea day and night, not to mention, and even the naval warships were temporarily used as passenger ships, escorting refugees while escorting the safety of the junk ships.

At the same time, shipyards are also urgently working overtime to produce junk ships for transportation, strengthen the transportation force in eastern Liaodong, and strive to move the population more quickly.

In short, Lu Zhi's siege of the city in front was in full swing, and the small business of the merchants in the back was also vigorous.
