Chapter 366: Take the Clever Thoughts
When I arrived at the mansion, it was already dark, and I happened to bump into Xiao Chunyu and Tang Tao coming out of the mansion.
"Ah, it's General Wei."
Tang Tao stepped forward, and Peugeot's smile was very flattering. Compared with Tang Tao, Xiao Chunyu is much more reserved:
"Chunyu has seen General Wei."
"It's so late, and the street is not peaceful, where are the two girls going."
"Go see some of the sisters at Guile Fang. Since the general sealed Gui Le Fang, the sisters of Gui Le Fang sent someone to ask me what the general was going to do with them, and I went to reassure them. It happened that the general came, and Chunyu dared to ask the general for a result, and asked the general for forgiveness. ”
"Eh, what a sin the girl. However, Guile Fang and the brothel are indeed a little tricky, although the general has no intention of taking it for himself, but hundreds of girls and old mothers are disbanded, even if they have some savings, but this is a mess, gold and silver things are undoubtedly thieves' things, even if you find a place to live in peace, the food and grass are in short supply now, and the money is going to be spent sooner or later. ”
"What the general said is very true, so let them get married, I don't know what the general wants?" Xiao Chunyu said.
"It's easy for the women of Guile Fang, but what about the brothel?"
Nowadays, there are more marriageable women than men, and a few women in brothels can get married. Of course, according to the law, brothel women can be used as military prostitutes, but it obviously violates the original intention and moral bottom line of Bai Liyan (that is, Wei Xian).
"In this way, those who are willing to marry, those who do not want to marry, or those who are helpless, will all move to Yongxing City to work in the yarn mill and cloth mill, and they can receive rations and copper coins every month to offset the wages, so that they can not only have the skills to make a living, but also their savings can also make them live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, if they are willing to marry, they can marry nearby, if they reopen the music law workshop to make a living, the government does not care."
"That's great, General Wei is really empathetic." Tang Tao was overjoyed and smiled more and more happily.
"Chunyu is here to thank General Wei for his great kindness on behalf of the sisters."
Xiao Chunyu bowed and saluted, and Bailiyan hurriedly went to help her:
"Miss Xiao doesn't need to be polite, life is between heaven and earth, all living beings should be treated equally, if you regard the people as pigs and dogs, how can everyone enjoy peace in the world."
"The general is righteous, and Chunyu is grateful."
Looking at Xiao Chunyu's Chu Chu moving eyes, Bai Li Yan couldn't help but burn a flame in her chest, unconsciously holding her soft jade hand, faintly seeing the love and longing in her eyes.
After staring at each other for a long time, Tang Tao blushed and inserted it between the two, and said without shame:
"Okay, okay, the county lord hasn't passed the door yet, and the young lady can't trespass."
Tang Tao also intended to curry favor with Jiang Rong when he said this, so as not to wear small shoes by Jiang Rong's main room when he passed through the door in the future.
Baili Yan understood and smiled lightly:
"Little Nizi, you are the best at talking. That's it, I'm going to wait. ”
Xiao Chunyu covered her mouth and smiled:
"As far as you are poor, beware of the county lord calling you to serve at night."
Tang Tao's face turned red, pretending to be disapproving:
"Miss wants to scare Tang Tao again, so she won't."
Tang Tao also knows some things about men and women, but he has never tasted the forbidden fruit, but he can't figure out how to taste the forbidden fruit between women and women.
Breaking up with the two, Bailiyan came to the atrium with a limp.
The leg injury has healed, the muscle tissue is still good, and there is still a dull pain when walking, so I can only limp to make the wound feel as good as possible.
At this time, Chen Yunfeng was discussing something with everyone in the council hall, and there was a silk cloth with a length and width and a half a battle on the table, and the map of Guangxin City was painted on the silk cloth, and Jiang Gan, Jiang Min, and Luo Songting were not there.
"Brother Yunfeng, what about Jiang Gong and Mr. Luo?"
"Drill the construction of the urn city at the north gate."
"Performing at the North Gate? Do you still want to build an urn city in the four gates? Bai Liyan asked rhetorically, glancing at the scene, in addition to Song Ping's generals, there were also craftsmen from the Guangxin Mansion, who were obviously making suggestions for the construction of the urn city.
Chen Yunfeng said at this time:
"The north gate is relatively safe, the lord and Luo's predecessors take the north gate as an example, first perform at the north gate, and then go to the south of the city to build."
"Didn't Senior Luo know that the rebels were destroying the city, and it was useless for him to build the urn city at the moment."
"If you follow the plan of Luo's predecessors, you can build the urn city within five days."
"Five days, how is this possible!"
Bailiyan was surprised, the city wall in the middle of the south gate is nearly two miles long, and the length of the urn city around it is three miles, how can it be built in five days, not to mention that the main attack of the rebels is now within forty-five steps on the left and right sides of the south gate, what is the need to build such a huge urn city, besides, where are the rebels waiting for five days, if they don't get it right, they may blow up the city wall tonight.
"Brother Yunfeng, Mr. Luo is not child's play."
"I'm afraid General Wei doesn't know the trick yet."
"What's the show? Wei really couldn't think of how to build an urn city as high as two zhang long and nearly three miles long in five days. ”
Even with a bulldozer, it is difficult to pile up an earthen wall that is two zhang high, three miles long, and seven or eight meters thick in five days, and it is hard to believe how Luo Songting could build such a huge project in five days.
At this time, Chen Yunfeng smiled:
"Although General Wei is well-informed, Senior Luo is also full of whimsy."
"Oh, Wei would like to hear about it."
"General Wei, all cities are built on the ground."
"Most of them are like this, but some are built underground or on mountain cliffs, but the soil of Guangxin is soft, and it is impossible to build it underground. Besides, what is the use of the urn city being built underground? Unless...... ...... hissed, "Bailiyan was startled, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that if half of the urn city was built underground, as long as there was a drop of more than two zhang, wouldn't it be over?"
"Could it be that Mr. Luo is digging down one zhang, and building another zhang on the ground can't be done!"
Chen Yunfeng was surprised when he heard the news, but he didn't expect Bai Liyan to react so quickly:
"General Wei is really a good mind, Chen just said a word, General Wei can already think of it, and admire it."
If you want to repair the two-zhang high urn city within five days, it is not impossible, as long as the ground is dug down one zhang, and then the ground is surrounded by a one-zhang high earthen wall, it is indeed possible to use one or two hundred thousand manpower to dig a soil pit three miles long, two or three zhang wide, one zhang or even two zhang deep on the inside of the south gate.
Then, the excavated soil was used on the periphery of the pit to build a low wall with a height of one zhang as a barrier, so that even if the wall collapsed, there were trenches and earthen walls as shields, and the only way for the rebels to cross the trench in a short time was to fill in the trenches.
However, the rebels had to fill the trenches and face flank fire from the walls and crossbowmen of the salty army on the opposite side of the walls.
After a long battle, it is not good for the rebels, so the rebels can give up the assault in order to preserve their strength. And if they give up the attack, the defenders of Guangxin may replace the damaged city wall, and the rebels will be busy for so long.
However, can the rebels give Guangxin five days to build the urn city? The rebels can now blow up the walls at any time, and they still have to wait five days?
"Brother Chen, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for five days."
"The rebels were heavily damaged by our army last night and continue to repair, why can't they wait for five days."
"Ben General discovered the rebels' method of annihilating the army of Lu Ji at the south gate, and he could blow up the city wall of the south gate in a moment."
"Explode? What is a blast! ”
Chen Yunfeng asked, Bai Liyan felt that the generation gap between the existing cognition was too large, and it would also be a tricky problem.
After explaining in detail with Chen Yunfeng, seeing that he was half-understood, Bai Liyan folded a hollow ball slightly larger than a baseball with rice paper, Chen Yunfeng was puzzled, and hurriedly asked:
"General Wei, what are you?"
"Brother Chen, I want to hear the thunder."
Chen Yunfeng was skeptical:
"What does General Wei mean?"
"Look, everybody."
I saw Bailiyan standing on the hollow paper ball hole on his right palm, and slapped the paper ball with his left hand, followed by a piercing explosion, and everyone was surprised when he heard it.
"Brother Chen, you can hear thunder."
"Could it be that the rebels blew down the city wall with this thing?"
"No, Brother Chen doesn't understand. Wei can only say that the method of bombing the wall used by the rebels is thousands of times worse than this method, the sound is very loud, and it can kill people, and it greatly dampens the morale of the army.
Now the rebels have blown up the walls in this way, and it is only in the light of day, and I cannot wait for five days. ”
"If that's the case, what is General Wei's plan?"
"The walls on both sides of the South Gate have been hollowed out by the rebels within forty steps, and Wei is worried that the rebels can also use this method elsewhere. It is imperative that the whole city be searched immediately, lest the rebels impose this law in many places and plunge our army into confusion and panic. ”
The rebels focused on the south gate, and it was not ruled out that the rebels would bury large dung barrels in other places and create biogas explosions in order to disturb the sight of the Xian army and shake the morale of the army.
Yu Chen Yunfeng clarified the matter, and the two immediately went out of the house to the north gate, and saw Luo Songting and Jiang's father and son who were measuring and calculating, and Bai Liyan explained the matter in detail.
Not to mention the Jiang father and son, even the well-informed Luo Songting, the reaction of Chen Yunfeng was the same as before, he did not believe that the rebels could collapse the entire city wall in an instant without anyone digging and burning it.
"Is General Wei's words serious?" Luo Songting was skeptical.
"Wei deceived his predecessors, and hundreds of dung buckets were dug up in the south gate, and it was difficult to put people in."
Luo Songting and Jiang Min looked at each other, as if to say that Baili Yan had ruined their good deeds.
At this time, Bailiyan also saw that Luo Songting wanted to build the urn city in the name of resisting the collapse of the city wall, and then repair the collapsed city wall after the war, so that it would become a fait accompli.
Now that the rebels may blow up the wall tonight, or even tomorrow, Luo Songting's plan to build an urn city within five days is obviously in vain.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Min opened his mouth and said:
"Does General Wei have a way to break the enemy?"
"Jiang Gong rest assured, this method is very easy to break. Just order the soldiers to dig holes in the city wall every other step, the hole is one and a half feet deep, if there is a foul smell, immediately dig it out of the ground, remember, this foul smell is slightly poisonous, wait for it to dissipate some, and then dig deeper, and take out the barrel inside. ”
"That's good, Qian'er, Songting, immediately order the soldiers to dig holes in General Wei's method, and once they find it, they will immediately report to Gu Yu."
"Please rest assured, Songting will ensure that Guangxin and the lord are in danger."
Luo Songting was more nervous than Bai Liyan at the moment, he knew that it was the general process of the collapse of Lu Ji's 80,000 elite army, and the 80,000 soldiers were almost crushed by the rebels with superior forces after the morale of the army collapsed and had no ability to resist, if it was repeated in Guangxin, the consequences would not be better than Lu Ji's army, and they would not even be able to withstand it for an hour.
