An excessively clean room, simple to cold colors, full of words that are so long and similar that you don't want to read because you know its content well - "Application for upgrading a certain intelligent program in such and such a game", "Report on the evaluation results of a certain intelligent program in such and such a game", "Suggestions on the disposal results of a certain intelligent program in such and such a game", ......

But because of his duties, he had to open the name, attract longer words, and then carefully fill in the pale words "allow" or "refuse" at the end of the text, and then point his delicate and even fragile eyes at the round and dull camera, so as to prove his identity as a decision-maker...... Such a boring work is repeated over and over again, but there can be no slackness, because the use and control of artificial intelligence by human beings is always in danger of bursting because of an inconspicuous "anthill" - at least every "censor" is educated in this way by his own teacher.

"Sister Hui?" Voices with emotion can sometimes be heard in empty rooms.

"You say." Crisp reply.

"Haven't you been keeping my eye on 'that', it seems to be a bit of a small situation lately."

"What's the situation?" There was a pause in the answer.

"A piece of a piece from Yuan Qizhi's ID that was independently uploaded to the background of several files."

"Anything unusual?"

"It's not counting, it's like some physical theorem or something."

"He didn't do this kind of thing several times with the 'back door' he left at the beginning."

"Yes, it seems to be so, but after checking the things he uploaded a few times, I found a problem."

"Then don't sell it."

"Hmm...... Can you come out for a while? I guess the file I wrote arrived in a minute. ”

"Log out to confirm!"

After a clean and decisive instruction, the blank room disappeared into view, and instead had a bright and warm feeling. When I opened my eyes slightly, although the oblique sunlight penetrated through the layers of leaves, it was still a little dazzling. The slight, but audible, sweeping machine inhales tiny amounts of dust diligently; The sound of boiling water evokes the sense of smell, and the simple, refreshing but rich aroma of light-roasted coffee beans wafts in secretly; The white Ragdoll glanced at each other, jumped down from the walnut bookshelf more than a man high, rubbed past his feet, and found a warm place by the window to lie down again; Take another breath of air and feel the window open—the smell of an autumn afternoon.

The doorbell rang crisply.

"Please come in."

The light and smooth sound of the automatic door moving, half a person high, is a bit like a delivery machine for a schoolboy riding a schoolbag parked in front of it. Eyes were given to a pair of cameras, the light on the head of the machine turned green, and letters rose from the "school bag". After the letter was taken away, the green light went out randomly, and the "elementary school student" left happily after completing the task.

The letter was sealed in neat kraft paper, with a small QR code in the upper left corner that needed to be carefully identified by the naked eye, and a dark red seal at the opening, which was obviously hand-typed, with three slightly crooked words written "Zhong Huiqi" underneath.

Zhong Hui opened the letter, and there was a pile of documents in it, no big headings, just a paragraph of code, which should be an old printer from the mouth, perhaps about the same age as her.

"Redundant code?" Zhong Hui saw the problem at both glances, and a pile of paper was stuffed back into the envelope by her. "Just don't mess up, you kid......"

"Sister Hui, do you see it?"

"You mean some order that could have been stolen in?"

"I haven't cracked it yet."

"I'll take a closer look when I have time."

"Do you need to report to Director Zhong?"

After a pause, "Wait a minute." ”

The flames were everywhere, and the black pressed armor blocked the already narrow alley. Although there were only one hundred and ten people, Zhong Li knew in his heart that it would not be easy to kill them from such a small place, not to mention that the big man named Shi Jie in front of him did not look like an idle person.

"I am Zhong Li, the general of Shuoguo, and I am here to borrow Shimen Fort for my use."

"Haha, sure enough. Everyone says that you General Zhong has the courage of ten thousand people, and today I should try the truth or falsehood! ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Jie rushed over, and in a moment, a cold light flashed in front of Zhong Li's eyes. Zhong Li raised his knife and pulled the gun, and in an instant, he pressed the knife to the side of his face with the strength of a bull's horn. Sparks flew, the head of the gun grazed his sideburns, and Governor Zhong Li was not finished, so he hurriedly turned around and swung the knife, and sure enough, the sharp sickle was slashing towards the neck.

"There's something." Failing to do so in the first round, Shijlema jumped down and held the hook and sickle in front of him. In the narrow alleys, the horse is not easy to turn, and if you can't break through the opponent, you are in danger of being beaten behind.

Seeing Shi Jie approaching step by step, Zhong Li put the knife in front of him. Suddenly, there was a movement under his feet, and the head of the spear was like a bolt from a crossbow. Zhong Li even dodged and parried with all his strength. But every time he wanted to move forward, Shi Jie retreated in broken steps, always keeping a distance of three or four feet, and Zhong Li could only be tired of defending and could not find a chance to counterattack.

After two more rounds, there were already a few cuts on the blade of the saber. Zhong Li saw that he was at a disadvantage, and suddenly saw a wooden thatched hut in front of him, so he took countermeasures. He strode towards Shi Jie, and the sparks of his sword and spear crackled again. Suddenly, Zhong Li leaned against the hut. Shi Jie's spear pierced again, Zhong Li raised the knife sideways, and pulled the small branch of the hook and sickle on the back of the knife to his side. The blade of the gun grazed his ears and stuck to the door panel behind him, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. Zhong Li raised his knife and fell, although he couldn't cut Shi Jie's person, he cut the hook and sickle from it.

Seeing that something was wrong, Shi Jie hurriedly abandoned his gun to dodge, but fortunately, the guards on the side reacted quickly, and several shields held it for him, otherwise Zhong Li's knife would chase him to his face.

The two guards raised their shields to form a wall and steadily advanced towards the center. Zhong Li knew that as long as he was squeezed in the middle by the people on both sides, as soon as the spear came out, there would be no chance of survival.

"Hold on over there!" Zhong Li shouted to the few remaining guards, and he raised his sword and rushed to the other side, trying to find a way out. However, the knife had no effect in front of the shield, and he couldn't hit the dozen people behind this shield. On the other side, a spear pierced with a brush, and the few remaining guards also fell in a pool of blood.

Yu Guang aimed at the hook and sickle head that was still inserted in the door panel, Zhong Li hurriedly pulled it out, and the sickle in one hand and the saber in the other. He rushed back to the front of the battle again, dodging the spear that had stabbed out, plunging the tip of the spear into the gap between the shield and shield, and then pulling it out, carving a gap between the shield with a small stick.

The shield shrank inward, but the saber slashed at the shield-bearer's head first. Seeing this opportunity, Zhong Li didn't care about the swords and guns in the formation, and hurriedly rushed into the formation through the breach.

Seeing that the swords were slashing together, Zhong Li hooked the pistol in his left hand, turned around and slashed horizontally. The gun came from the flank, and he slammed it sideways, slashed the person in front of him with his right hand, and stabbed the one behind the back with his left hand. Feeling that the knife was blunt, Zhong Li drew a spear and stabbed a few in a row, grabbed the shield and even blocked and collided, and then cut after the knife was drawn, and for a while, this gun and shield array was rushed to pieces by him alone.

Seeing that he was about to break through the formation, Zhong Li suddenly felt the wind behind his ears, and hurriedly raised his shield to block. I heard a muffled sound, and something penetrated the shield and touched the side of Zhong Li's face. Zhong Li didn't care about the blood dripping from the corners of his eyes, and turned around to see that it was Shi Jie.

Shi Jie picked up the head of the spear, and the huge shield flew out of Zhong Li's hand, and the surrounding soldiers saw the opportunity to kill him. Although Zhong Li dodged left and right and slashed a few people, he was forced to the foot of the city wall.

"I, Shi Jie, admit that you have some skills." Seeing that Zhong Li was already unable to escape, Shi Jie ordered everyone to take a step slower and stepped forward by himself. "It's a pity that you have repeatedly gone deep alone, and with such a use of soldiers, I am afraid that the overlord of Chu will lose his life while he is alive."

"If you don't bet on two risky moves, how can you win big, and there's nothing wrong with 'Meridian Soldiers', right?" Zhong Li replied with a smile. After a moment of respite, he could tell that the killing shouts around him were still far away, and he was afraid that no one would be able to kill him with these few words. "What's more, in a game, you killed me here, and within half a moment, my adjutant would also take this Shimen Fort for me. When I come back after I have rested enough, I am afraid that the whole of Liaoxi will already be in my pocket. ”

"Hahahaha, until you tell me something." Shi Jie smiled, and between his words, he could hear that he had some praise for Zhong Li. "It's a pity that you're going to have to take a break for a while. Who is in charge of Liaoxi, it is not up to you and me to have the final say today! So saying, he took his spear and stepped forward.

Zhong Li leaned against the base of the wall, stopping from the rush just now, and the feeling of exhaustion took the opportunity to take over his whole body. Raising his right hand, the machete he picked up was already half broken, and the blood on his forehead dripped up, filling the gap in the blade.

"Qin Lang, the first credit of Liaoxi will be handed over to you!"

He shouted, and picked up half a machete to meet him. The left and right knives and guns were raised, but he only had Shi Jie's head in his eyes, and no swords, guns, shields, and swords could compare to Shi Jie's half-smiling and half-angry eyes at this moment.

At the moment when the blades touched, something came out of Shi Jie's eyes, and then he heard a "whoosh" sound. When he reacted, Shi Jie had fallen to the ground motionless. The surrounding soldiers seemed to be stunned by the scene in front of them, and they all stopped in place. Zhong Li took the opportunity to raise his head and saw a man in black on the platform not far away, with a short crossbow in his hand aiming at this side.

At this time, there was a killing sound in his ears again, but someone seemed to be shouting Zhong Li's name in the voice. He subdivided it, and it turned out that Qin Lang led people to kill through the waterway.

Seeing this opportunity, Zhong Li hurriedly snatched Shi Jie's gun, swept left and right and struggled to break through, and crossbows flew from the building to relieve him from time to time. As soon as Shi Jie died, the surrounding guards suddenly lost their morale, and they were driven away by Zhong Li alone for a while. Zhong Lisan walked out of the alley and went straight to the platform, and when he got to the stage, he saw that the man in black was none other than Gu Yu.

"Why are you here?"

"Don't thank me yet?" Without waiting for Zhong Li to finish asking, Gu Yu invited him first.

Seeing Gu Yu put the crossbow aside, leaning on the railing, staring at himself unrelentingly as if he was smiling, Zhong Li was helpless for a while. "In Xia Zhongli, thank you for Miss Gu Yu's life-saving grace." He bowed deeply and deliberately dragged the last few words out of a long note.

"No thanks." Gu Yu smiled contemptuously.

"Puzzled?"

"What's the doubt? It was this morning that I entered the city with the troupe of the festival, thinking that I would be prepared for the outside and the outside. ”

"That's right, a woman, it's not easy to be suspicious. But how do you know I'm here? ”

"I'm not like a god. It's just that I inquired about the back alley and took the path out of the city, and I thought that if you would like to enter the city smoothly, if you need to take the path, you can take care of it by setting up an ambush on this high platform. Who would have thought that the one who took the lead was actually you, General Zhong. ”

Zhong Li saw that Qin Lang had led the rear army to control the situation, so it was convenient for Gao Tai to explain the reason.

"It seems that people are still not as good as heaven." Gu Yu said with a smile. "Fortunately, you can come back to life after dying in this ghost place for a while, otherwise if you act like this, the first place where you and I see each other is probably in front of the general's tomb."

In the next day, Zhong Li summoned the captain Hu Yang, joined the army Xia Mao, the partial general Qin Lang, and the other three or five were in charge of the Shimenbao Mansion to discuss matters, and Gu Yu was also among them although he had a special identity.

Xia Mao reported the gains and battle losses. One hundred and sixty-four people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in this battle, and the losses were mainly in Zhong Li's escort troops. More than 600 enemies were killed, 800 were captured, 3,000 pairs of armor were captured, 1,300 bows and crossbows, more than 10,000 arrows, 150 war horses, and there were also detailed numbers of war reserves. However, compared to these, what Zhong Li and others value most is the more than 200,000 loads of grain in the granary. Not to mention the 8,000 people here, even Yuan Qizhi's army is stationed, which is enough to survive this winter.

"Now that the supply is abundant, the capital to deal with the North Forward is there, and you will see what you plan to do next." Although Zhong Li already had some plans in his heart, he had to ask questions before making a decision every time he discussed the matter.

"General," Hu Yang said first, "how to deal with such a situation is very clear. These more than 200,000 stone grain cannot be easily transferred by you and me, and this grain is not only the ration of my army for wintering, but also the majority of Beifeng's reserves here, so it is very important, and the only way to defend the city is to move a move. ”

"He's right this time, reconsideration." As soon as Hu Yang finished speaking, Xia Mao agreed, and then everyone also reconsidered.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhong Li smiled and said, "There is no need to talk about this situation. Today, I would like to ask you to help me think about how to defend this stone city. ”

"It's normal to keep it, this stone city is very strong, if it weren't for last night's surprise attack, I'm afraid you and I would have needed some effort."

"In case of failure, you are fully responsible?" Zhong Li asked, and Hu Yang didn't dare to say more.

At this time, Xia Mao smiled and said: "Captain Hu has been guarding the city for so many years, hasn't he been leading the cavalry to clean up the battlefield?" ”

"So what?"

"The attack and defense of the city lies in knowing its reality and falsehood. You and I took advantage of the weakness to enter, and then easily took down this stone gate fort. If you don't know the reality of the enemy's attack, it will be very easy for you and me to gain and lose. ”

"What is false and real, I know where I rushed out to cut people, and if I can cut it, it is real." Hu Yang looked disdainful.

On the side, Gu Yu held back his laughter, and Zhong Li looked somewhat embarrassed. "Then Xia joined the army to see where this enemy army should be?"

"If I were the commander of this northern front, I would have attacked from the east." As he spoke, he took the chess pieces and set them up on the sand table. In addition to Shimen Fort, this sand table also includes the surrounding generation, the west side is the foothills of Yiwu Lu Mountain that Zhong Li and others passed through when they came, and the east side is a group of low hills that are much flatter than the others, and the big stone stream is separated from the northwest to the southeast in the middle, and it surrounds half a circle around the small highland of Shimen Fort, enclosing Shimen Fort into a gourd-shaped peninsula.

After the chess pieces were arranged, Xia Mao continued: "This passage in and out of Shimen Fort, counting the secret passage that the general found yesterday, there are four in total, and only the East City Gate is connected to the land. If you bring 40,000 troops, it is obviously impossible to cross the river and attack, and at most you can harass them from a long distance, and only by attacking from the east can you barely line up all the 40,000 troops. ”

"So the focus of the city's defense is on the east?"

"Exactly." Xia Mao continued: "Although the gourd-shaped terrain of this Shimen Fort is easy to defend, it is also easy to encircle. If I lead the army, I can put the main force on the east side, leave 2,000 men on the north and south exits, and set up an ambush on the west side of the main road. If the general abandons the city, it will be difficult for the army to deploy quickly after crossing the river, and a small number of men and horses can intercept all our army. ”

"That's exactly what I said." Zhong Li's face was pleasant when he heard this, "Xia's talent for joining the army to analyze the battle situation is growing day by day." In that case, is there a way to deal with it? ”

"The general has won the award, haha." Xia Mao smiled and was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't know that this morning he deliberately went to Qin Lang's door to ask for advice for the sake of military discussions. Although Qin Lang knew that Zhong Li would inevitably defend the city, and he also knew the enemy's strategy for using troops, he didn't know how Zhong Li wanted to defend the city. But having said that, he had to guess with his own ability. "When an army of 40,000 attacked this stone city, most of them first damaged our city defenses with long-range weapons, and then used heavy troops to attack our city, or climbed the city walls or siege gates. I saw that the open space outside the eastern city wall was less than two miles, just enough to spread out the attacking troops. If the enemy army is blocked out of the open field, for example, when the enemy's foothold is not stable, Captain Hu and the cavalry will be able to attack and even frustrate, it should be able to frustrate its edge. ”

"Captain Hu, what do you think?"

Hu Yang was still listening, but when he finally heard about his errand, he instantly became angry and didn't fight, and this question happened to shout: "Although I never slack off when I go into battle to kill the enemy, I don't do anything to take my brothers to die." How many men do you say you give me, so that I can rush these 40,000 troops to the ground, or do you have no backup? ”

"This ......"

"Don't be angry." Seeing the two of them like this, Zhong Lifang felt used to it. "I'm still undecided. Besides, it is raining continuously, how long will it take for the long-range baggage to be transported to my city? ”

"It will rain for another three or five days, the road will dry for ten or eight days, and it will take twelve or three days for the baggage to be in a hurry to get to the city." Gu Yu finally couldn't bear the loneliness.

"Twelfth and thirteenth. If he waited until the baggage was in place before attacking, Yuan Xian's girl might have driven Dai Ying out of Liaoxi long ago! ”

"Then the general means that Dai Ying will let 40,000 people go into battle lightly? That's not his usual style, is it? ”

"Now you and I have caught his bull's nose." Saying that, Zhong Li stood up, "Originally, he could have come to Qingye to postpone the affairs of Liaoxi until next year, and even rely on attacking our supply transportation in winter to make you and me give up this 'chicken rib'." But he wanted to hold the main force of our army through you and me, turn defeat into victory, and deliberately let Liucheng go. I never thought that his granary in Shimen Fort was stolen from under our noses. If you and I can't take it, then Dai Ying will steal chickens and rice, and lose her wife and soldiers. Therefore, he is very anxious in this battle, and he must make a desperate bet, otherwise he will not even find a chance to win the bet! ”

Gu Yu smiled when he heard this: "It seems that the general is thinking about it." So what is the solution to this desperate gamble? ”

Zhong Li walked to the sand table, drew his sword, and drew a deep arc not far in front of the east gate.

"Build the city!"

"Out of town?"

"Xia Senjun's analysis is very good, if the enemy army of 40,000 can be deployed in front of me and forced under the city, you will usher in a fierce battle. Now the only way to keep the enemy out is to build a castle outside the east gate. When it is necessary to launch a hundred zhang, it can make the enemy have no place to stand. ”

"How long will it take to build a city?" Qin Lang couldn't help but ask.

Zhong Li asked first: "How many days will it take for Dai Yingbing?" ”

"If you are close to the infantry army, you will not carry a baggage, and the rapid march will take three to four days plus a message ......"

"Don't forget that 'dead people' can report directly from offline."

"That's four days."

"Three days is enough."

Looking at the entire stone city from the high platform, it is only two or three miles in size, and it is even more insignificant in the rainy mountains. Thousands of soldiers outside the city measured the land according to Zhong Li's wishes, dug trenches, and looked from a distance, like a group of hard-working ants.

"You can think of it and use the time to build a city."

The rain sounded in his ears, as if covering Gu Yu's voice. After a long time, Zhong Li replied: "I just want this annoying thing to come in handy." ”

Gu Yu wanted to lean against the railing, but the building was blown away by the wind and there was no dry place.

"What are you looking for me?"

Seeing that Zhong Li still didn't look back. "There's only one place in the city that is higher than the city walls, and I can't go out of the city in this damn weather."

"Stuffy? It's only been a few days, and isn't there something interesting? ”

Gu Yu was speechless for a moment. "That's it, look at you, you're thinking about your distant beauty again."

"I'm just worried about whether we can meet smoothly."

Gu Yu smiled. "Anyway, the order is given, and the rest has nothing to do with you. Two or three days of hard work is enough for you to go back to the offline to take a look. ”

"Excuse me."

"What? Do you need me to teach you how to think about a girl? ”

Zhong Li was a little impatient. "Nothing to do with that, I don't know the use of spending some time with her? Just ......"

"How much have you met her offline?"

"Once."

Gu Yu was so shocked that he wanted to laugh. "Once?"

"To be exact, I haven't been back except for the last time I was punished for the length of my death. Except for a few times when my sister called me. ”

"So, you've really become one of the people here."

"It doesn't matter if there's or isn't there. You can't say that......"

"Don't get used to going back?"

"Probably."

"And it's no wonder. Here you can lift the top, and you have the courage of ten thousand people. Go back, according to your situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk. ”

"Not yet. My machine has a muscle retention system. ”

Gu Yuyi frowned, "So?" ”

"Except for me, all four members of my family are government workers. Gave birth to me as an alternative. ”

Gu Yu was speechless for a moment.

"Don't say anything boring."

"Yes." Gu Yu looked at the distant mountains that were dyed ink by the clouds and rain. "It's more interesting here."
