Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Li Zhongjin also saw the Nantang soldiers laughing everywhere on the wall. He couldn't help it anymore and sent someone to reprimand Guo Shao. Unexpectedly, the general sent back said: "Guo Zhaocun said that tunnels can be digged, but more tunnels can be digged! He has already thought of a good plan, so please make arrangements for it."

"Fuck!" Li Chongjin couldn't help but was angry. He patted the chopping board and said, "What is the best way to dig tunnels?! Go and tell him that digging tunnels can take down Shouzhou City. I'm good at cooking pots and frying fish. He eats!"

The general returned to Guo Shao again and spoke Li Zhongjin's words in front of Wang Pu, Li Gu and many generals. Everyone was silent, bowed their heads and said nothing.

Guo Shao was also annoyed, and said, "Although General Li is all deployed to control our ministry, he interferes in every detail and tells us how to attack the city? Shouzhou is a big city with high and thick walls. Could it be taken in one day? Do you have to come down? You have to give someone time to prepare! I don't want him to cook fish, just give me some time!"

Wang Pu couldn’t help but persuade him: “It’s useless to dig tunnels. We asked from the captives that the man who defended the city was Liu Renzhan. This man is no small thing! It is rumored that this man is a man of great importance to wealth, serious warfare, and capable Sharing joys and sorrows with the generals; governing the army and fighting battles are all proficient. The Lord of the Southern Tang is very respectful... Liu Renzhan guards Shouzhou. It is said that there were generals who wanted to attack Zhengyang before the war. In the end, the Southern Tang general Liu Yanzhen refused to listen and insisted on attacking Zhengyang, but he was defeated. The soldiers’ bodies were all over thirty miles away. This person expected the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity, and he was a famous general in the Southern Tang State; what would Guo Duzhi do? , Repairing the house trenches to cover up, he understood at a glance. Digging tunnels is useless!"

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "I know Liu Renzhan can see that we are digging a tunnel, but I have other ideas... But the first tunnel was unlucky and there was no way to measure it. The groundwater was accidentally dug, which caused the accident. ."

Wang Pu sighed and said nothing.

When everyone dispersed, Wang Pu said in private: "It's true that I was sent by the officials to look at the situation of the siege. I can only report the truth and dare not deceive... The situation in Shouzhou is now too weak to attack. There is no long-term solution. When it comes to officials, Guo Du will be very disadvantaged."

Guo Shao hurriedly bowed and said sincerely: "I am very touched by Prime Minister Wang to tell me this way. But I think Nantang used fierce fire oil, and the ant-attached attack is very unfavorable. You have to change your strategy and cannot blindly attack... I am only temporarily It is still unclear whether the proposed strategy will work."

Wang Pu stomped his feet and said, "Then how can I tell the officials when I go back? It's so difficult!"

Guo Shao also looked embarrassed. He had thought of a way, but he hadn't actually tried it. Everything was conceived in his mind. Who knows if it can be used after it is used? If I say it all now, it will be even more ugly...so I dare not speak big words. I just became angry with Li Zhongjin’s generals, and I couldn’t hold back it; but I didn’t dare to be angry with him. State city.

He said: "Prime Minister Wang stayed for two more days. I visited the places two days ago and found places where I can do things. I should show some merit first so that I can stabilize the people on it."

"I hope so." Wang Pu said.

...

Liu Renzhan didn't even wear a helmet. He sat on a bamboo chair on the tower to observe the scene of the city very calmly. He is a veteran in his fifties. He stroked the beard of his chin and said, "I haven't seen the wind and waves of the old man. How dare you to show off in front of the old man?"

"Haha..." The crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this, and the situation was completely different from the screaming and struggling Sergeant Zhou under the city.

The city is full of people, and the tall cloud ladders and slings stand like a pavilion, like a boat in the ocean. Looking at it, the Huaishui line is even camping. I don't know how many people there are in the Zhou army. Huge rocks roared from the air, but Liu Ren sat steadily and motionless.

A general came up from the stone steps and knelt down on one knee and reported: "My man, my brothers have dug a tunnel in the south of the city. Wagong has been placed on all sides and sent people on duty. If the enemy forces dug the tunnel into the city, You can hear the movement when the ground breaks."

Liu Renzhan nodded and looked back at the generals and said: "The siege under the city must have changed people. He has nowhere to defend and uses all his tricks. Moreover, this person and Li Chongjin must be at odds with him, and he took office only a few days."

The general asked hurriedly: "Zhou Jun has changed people, how can the commander tell?"

Liu Renzhan smiled and said: "The siege crew retreats from time to time, and from time to time they attack the city. It must be up and down. If the old man guessed correctly, the newly appointed general did not want to attack the city and was forced by Li Chongjin, so he wandered back and forth, undecided."

The generals worshipped, and someone said excitedly: "Today I am trapped in Shouzhou. Fortunately, I am fortunate to be under Liu Dashuai."

Some people said without concealing their words: "Dashuai Liu is the best general in the Tang Dynasty. It is no regrets to die under the command of Dashuai Liu!"

Another general annoyed: "Speaking so badly, the emperor will not sit back and watch Shouzhou be besieged! What's more, Dashuai Liu is here. The emperor is willing to lose Shouzhou and not Liu Dashuai."

Liu Renzhan has long been accustomed to everyone’s love. All of this is the accumulation of countless wise decisions by treating soldiers like relatives and leading soldiers in battle. He calmly said: “The generals are not harmonious, and the ministries cannot cooperate... Fighter, send someone to try to go out from Feishui to petition, the old man will go out of the city and ask him for advice."

A general hurriedly persuaded: "Zhou Jun is fierce in the field."

Liu Renzhan disapproved and said: "Up and down are not in harmony. Those close to the city are not good soldiers. I will break the battle!" He looked back at the side direction and said: "Detention is not the way. Fortunately, the unscrupulous general in the Zhou army, if the old man attacked the city, First, I dug the moat gate and drained the moat water into the water. The defenders were forced inside the city wall, and it was impossible to stop the people outside the city from digging the river... It's a pity that Li Chongjin has trapped me for almost two months, so I still need soil. Fill the river, waste!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone hurried upstairs to report: "Zhou Jun dug a canal in the northwest corner!"

The generals stopped talking and laughing, their faces suddenly changed. Liu Renzhan said, "As expected, he couldn't get Shouzhou even after digging the moat. Let's go and follow the old man."

... At least a few thousand civilians are desperately digging in the open space between the northwest corner of the city and Feishui, making it dusty and busy.

Guo Shao took his soldiers and accompanied Wang Pu on horseback to watch the busy scene. He pointed to the front and said: "I have walked around the city several times these days, and found that the topography of Shouzhou City and the water level of the moat are better than Feishui. It’s slightly higher, but it’s not obvious; it may be due to the fall of the Feishui water level after the autumn (it was almost August). As long as the moat and Feishui are connected, the water flows to the lower part, and the river can block the surrounding Shouzhou City. Are you on the offensive path?"

Wang Pu watched for a while and nodded hurriedly, "Actually, the moat of Shouzhou City is a bit higher. There is an abandoned water village over there, and there may be a dam blocking the water. If you don't look carefully, you think the two rivers are connected. "

Guo Shao said: "I didn't pay attention. But when I led the army to cross the Feishui River from the north, I found that the water level in Feishui was very low. In some places, I can walk across the river on foot; It was very difficult to fill the river with soil, and the water in the moat was rather deep. So I noticed that Tang Jun must have blocked the moat in order to store water and maintain the water level."

Guo Shao thought for a while and said, "If it is impossible to drain water, there is another way to block the river up to the Fei River and then divert it. This will take some time and work, but after the diversion, digging the moat will definitely be able to Draining the river...We still have nearly 100,000 people in Shouzhou, and letting them dig the river is better than going up to die."

After listening, Wang Pu said, "If the moat is released, Shouzhou will be difficult to attack. But I finally have something to say before the official."

Guo Shao said in a deep voice, "It would be better if Li Zhongjin could be shut up or allowed me to suspend the siege.

Wang Pu said: "The officials value Shouzhou very much...Unless you can conquer the city within a time limit~www.readwn.com~, you can't help yourself, everyone is staring at Shouzhou."

Guo Shao thought for a while, opened his mouth and closed it again. He thought to himself: The emperor was unhappy with himself. If a military order is made, if it fails, wouldn't it be cleaned and sent to him?

Wang Pu saw the situation clearly, and was anxious to say goodbye to go back and report his information. Guo Shao didn't keep him much, just as Li Gu was on the way, so he entrusted Li Gu to help prepare some materials. Li Gu questioned, but Guo Shao pleaded again and again, and said that he would remember him as an adult and he would need to return in the future. Li Gu had to reluctantly agree.

At this moment, Guo Shao suddenly noticed that a crossbow on the city wall was turning to face this side, and a member of the generals stood there looking at him. "Fuck!" Guo Shao left without saying a word.

The entourage also hurriedly followed the horse to turn around, but at this time a crossbow bolt thicker than an arm had already whizzed down, at least two hundred steps away. With a scream behind him, when Guo Shao looked back, a knight hit a big crossbow bolt on the back and fell off the horse. Someone faintly yelled on the city wall. Guo Shao heard it as if he was cursing himself: "Those who are greedy for life and fear of death, the old man waits for you to release the water to attack the city, see how you take Shouzhou!

Guo Shao was furious, took his bow and arrow, patted his horse, and returned to the city. Unexpectedly, the veteran didn't try his best and turned around and left. Guo Shao cursed: "I thought you were not afraid of death."

Several arrows were thrown from the city wall. Guo Shao hurriedly covered his face and neck with his arms, facing the city wall with his thickly armored chest, and ran backwards. The arrows landed around, too far away and missed. anything. At this time, the minister had hurriedly caught up and led Guo Shao to mount and leave.

Guo Shao moved away from the city wall and looked up, the old guy was also looking at himself. At this time, the two sides were more than two hundred steps away, and they could only look at each other, and the two looked at each other from a distance.
