Chapter 551 is coming to an end
The Changsha battlefield, which had not seen fighting for several months, not only did not become relaxed and peaceful, but instead was brewing an increasingly thick and murderous atmosphere.

As time goes by, both sides of the war seem to sense the approaching danger. Perhaps the long-standing stalemate is about to change.

The Yellow Turban camp maintained a stable order as always. Months of combat readiness did not make the soldiers tired or irritable, but instead kept them in perfect combat condition.

A large number of supervisory guards who went deep into the grassroots of the army completed the task of unifying thoughts and channeling emotions very well. This has allowed the Yellow Turbans to still maintain fully qualified combat effectiveness. Even if a major war is launched immediately in the next moment, the soldiers can still fight in the best mental state.

Xuan Xia's military plans, as long as they do not involve confidential content, will be promoted from top to bottom to achieve the effect of uniting the entire army. The soldiers all understand that they have the advantage now, and as long as the siege continues, this battle can be won without fighting.

Even the most ordinary cook in the camp knows the current situation.

In this way, they will not become anxious or suspicious due to the continuous confrontation, but will instead diligently follow orders and carry out daily training.

For several months, no major changes have occurred in the Yellow Turban camp. Ever since Zhou Yu's provocation failed last time, the Wu-Shu coalition forces were completely helpless against the Yellow Turbans and have not taken any other actions.

Under the relatively stable situation, activities within the Yellow Turban camp have become normalized. Everyone repeats the basic daily activities every day. Although it is a bit boring, people will gradually get used to it over time.

Xu Chen was no exception. His job every day was just to patrol the camp and handle official business.

Of course, he would not forget to take a look at the situation in Changsha City every day. Even if he could not see the situation inside the city, he could at least see the momentum of the Wu and Shu soldiers on the top of the city.

In just a few months, Changsha City has been as quiet and silent as the Yellow Turbans' camp, with no sign of any change.

Xu Chen believed that this kind of quietness and silence could not be the real atmosphere of Changsha City. After months of siege, the military and civilians in Changsha could not possibly remain unaffected.

"Let me tell you, how long can they hold on?" On the high platform, Xu Chen put down the telescope he had been using for a long time, and without looking back, he started talking to Ju Shou behind him.

Ju Shou glanced in the direction of Changsha City and shook his head. "As for how long it will take, I'm afraid only Zhou Yu himself knows. But if you just want a vague answer, I think they are almost at their limit."

This may sound like nonsense, but this is the only judgment we can make at this time.

Even the people in the city might not know much about the situation in the city. Only those in power, such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su, who control the entire city, know in detail how much surplus food is available. Apart from them, no one knows how many days the city can last.

But it certainly won't last long, and everyone knows that.

After all, there are a huge number of troops stationed in the city, and the surrounding civilians have been gathered together, plus the original population of Changsha City. The number of people in the city now is unimaginable. No matter how much the food rations are compressed, several mountains will be eaten up every day.

Now that several months have passed, no matter how much food we have, it is now reaching its limit.

At this time, Wang Dang, who had been silent for a long time on the other side of Xu Chen, finally couldn't help but speak out: "In this case, let's take advantage of his illness to kill him. As long as we launch a general attack at this time, we will surely win easily!"

Hearing this, Xu Chen smiled faintly: "Old Wang, you are right, but it is not necessary."

Wang Dang was puzzled: "Why not? We have waited for several months and finally waited until now. What is there to hesitate?" Before Xu Chen could speak, Ju Su smiled and answered: "Our army has been besieging for several months. Now it is the last moment. Don't we still lack patience? We just need to continue the siege. When the food in the city is exhausted, our army can win without fighting. Why should we take the initiative to attack?"

Wang Dang frowned and said, "Zhou Yu is not a fool. How could he starve himself to death?"

Ju Su said: "Zhou Yu is certainly not a fool, so when the food in the city is running out, he will naturally take the initiative to seek a decisive battle. Our army does not need to attack the city first. All we need to do next is to prepare for Zhou Yu's desperate move."

After this conversation, Wang Dang finally realized that he was too hasty in thinking this way.

After a bitter smile, he said, "When I think that as long as we win this battle, my Xuanxia cause will be completely successful, I always feel unbearable. Zhou Yu would rather die like a turtle than fight openly. He is not a real man!"

Ju Shou just smiled when he heard this. Different people have different views on things. Little did he know that Zhou Yu also had his own helplessness. In this kind of matter, it is hard to say who is right or wrong.

The three of them looked towards Changsha City, and they all felt something in their hearts. They already felt that the war was about to end.
"It's time to prepare for the decisive battle. Order the troops in the rear to be transferred to the front. This final battle will end everything, send Zhou Yu away, and also send away the last bit of glory of the old era."

Xu Chen gave the order without even turning his head, his tone somewhat relaxed and somewhat emotional.

Ju Shou Wang Dang was also slightly stunned.

Yes, this battle ended not only Zhou Yu and Wu and Shu, but also swept the old era of the gentry and scholars into the garbage dump of history. The significance of the latter is far more profound than the former.

They recalled the history of China and thought that the only era comparable to the present is the Zhou Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty and the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The Zhou Dynasty's rites, laws, and music brought order and civilization to Chinese civilization, and the Hundred Schools of Thought injected philosophical thinking into Chinese civilization. However, what we are doing today is even more significant to this civilization and even the world than these.

While Wang Dang was expressing his emotion, he couldn't help but feel honored and happy that such a great cause was actually created and participated in by himself.

Ju Su was even more grateful for his original decision.

Facts have proved that his decision to serve Xu Chen was a very correct one. Otherwise, it would be hard to describe what his situation would be like today, and how could he have the opportunity to join such a grand cause.

Xuan Xia's success was a disaster for all the aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty, but for Ju Su personally, it was a complete blessing.

It can be expected that in future history books, even if Ju Shou's name will not occupy too much weight, it will at least have a place.

Xu Chen is the sun that shines in history books, and the attention of future generations will naturally be focused on Xu Chen. This is a real blessing for Ju Shou to be recorded in history.

When Wang Dang came to his senses, he took his leave and went down to prepare for the approaching decisive battle.

At this time, Xu Chen no longer stared at Changsha City, but turned to look at Ju Shou: "According to the time, the ocean-going fleet should be out to sea. I wonder if this will go smoothly."
