Song Aoxing glared at Song Qing fiercely:

"Minister Yang, there may be a situation here!

Meng Yuan is a barbarian, and he can't figure it out at once that the Xuanyi Army is different from the previous army.

Before the Seagod Cauldron is boiled today, our ship will collapse on its own if it can't get clean water at sea.

Before the spiral of water intake in the air was given today, tens of thousands of people like us, in a geographical army like Eagle's Beak Rock, would not get enough clear water, and they would collapse on their own.

Therefore, the rebels of Meng Yuan and the Song soldiers far outnumbered us by more than ten times, and as long as they squeezed us a little, or even destroyed the wells of the first line of heaven, we would be finished by ourselves.

This may be the goal of their quiet march on the northern front. ”

Song Qing said proudly:

"Moreover, their northern front does not necessarily have only infantry troops,

There may also be slingers, who can win if they contaminate our wells with explosives and poisons so that we don't get enough water for three days, and they can continue to harass us and dig new wells.

Tomorrow at dawn, the Song rebels have siege equipment and eight-ox crossbows, three-bed crossbows, and trebuchets, and they can attack us in a steady stream.

So, it's likely that they don't feel the risk is too big. ”

Master Wei Jie high-fived:

"Hey, I'm old, I didn't even understand this military plane,

On the contrary, he is a junior and wakes up the old man.

That's probably not a small one.

Wait a minute, if this is the case, those who knew about our drinking water military aircraft should not know the mystery of the water spiral in the sky above our eagle's beak rock.

But know the well inside the gap in the sky.

I heard from Wu Haode Qianhu that at the West Gate, the 100 guards of Jiang Lifu and Zheng joined the army, and later found out a person who could survey and map the map on foot with his bare hands.

Now that I think about it, that person may have entered the first line of heaven, and the position of the first line of heaven is only passed on by mouth, but it may not be able to be clearly described.

But he didn't go above the second floor.

We have recruited this kind of scribe, but this person should have concealed his identity and only pretended to be not very good at literacy.

He has to be able to walk through the sky again, yes, we have been to work in several military camps and get water.

In fact, Jiang Lifu of Nandacang and Zheng Shenjun's guards couldn't enter the first line of heaven.

So there are two possibilities, one is that the person surveyed and passed things on to those guards.

It's also possible that the surveyor followed the guards.

If it was given to those guards, how did they agree on the joint in the first place? It's incomprehensible.

If the surveyor followed the guards, how clever and improvisable this person must be!

It's a terrible character.

Such a character didn't even go up to the second floor?

Why am I a little unconvinced?! ”

Tu Xicai spoke: "Maybe there is an explanation, that person has an obvious characteristic that makes him unable to enter the entrance on the second floor!" ”

Zhen Niang came over with tea, and Minister Yang asked, "Zhen Niang, if there are Song soldiers, what characteristics make him unable to enter the entrance on the second floor?" ”

Zhen Niang served tea to everyone, and smiled skillfully: "Minister Yang, are you letting the slave family show their ugliness, I am a girl's family, how can I understand military affairs." ”

Song Qing said: "Oh, in our Xuanyi Army, women are not inferior to men!" ”

Minister Yang said: "That is, Zhen Niang, how miraculous is it today, you serve every day, that is, smoke it, but also smoke some wisdom?" ”

Zhen Niang's face turned red: "Niangniang~~~~, don't laugh at me, Mi Sanmei is a heroine among women!" ”

Minister Yang said: "Speaking of which, Mi Sanmei's girl, she hasn't smoked her today, but she just said a few words, as if she had opened her mind." ”

Zhen Niang frowned together: "The Venerable Master also gave Mi Sanmei thirty-two breaths of true qi, hey, what a blessing." ”

[Note, 蹙 (音 [cù]), shape sound. The word is from the foot, from the Qi, and the Qi is also the voice.

"Qi" means "from top to bottom, from big to small".

"Qi" and "foot" are combined to mean that "the pace changes from big strides and slow steps to small steps and fast walks". Original meaning: the footsteps become smaller and broken.

Extension: urgency, urgency.

Therefore, there are many different meanings, such as urgency, wrinkle, contraction, and cramped restlessness. Frowning can also be combined into a word for mourning, frowning. 】

Minister Yang complained: "Zhen Niang, you are talking nonsense, asking you what characteristics make the entrance on the second floor unable to enter, you push three obstacles and four ......"

Zhen Niang was stunned, and said to Ai Ai: "Niangniang, I thought of two possibilities. ”

。。。。。。

[Note: Period Ai Ai, pronounced qīqīàiài, describes the appearance of stuttering, or approximates the appearance of stuttering.]

The Modern Chinese Dictionary explains it this way - Zhou Chang in the Han Dynasty stuttered, and once argued with Han Gaozu about a matter, saying: "The minister can't speak, but the minister knows that he can't" (see "Historical Records: Zhang Cheng's Biography"). In addition, Wei Deng Ai of the Three Kingdoms also stuttered, and when he talked about himself, he even said "Ai Ai" (seen in "The World Speaks New Language"). Later, he used "period Ai Ai" to describe stuttering. (p. 1067).

"Period" comes from the story of Zhou Chang, a minister of the Han Dynasty. Zhou Chang, a native of Pei County (now Jiangsu). At the end of Qin, he returned to Liu Bang in the Peasant War, and entered the pass from Liu Bang to break the Qin, and later rose to the imperial historian and was named the Marquis of Fenyin. Zhou Chang is honest and dares to speak out. But he stuttered and struggled to speak.

After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, won the world, he had a favorite concubine named Qi Ji, and Qi Ji gave birth to a son named Ruyi. Liu Bang wanted to abolish the original prince and establish Ruyi as the prince.

So, in the early court, Liu Bang said about it. Unexpectedly, all the ministers objected. Uncle Sun Tong, a doctor who served the Qin Dynasty, said: "The prince is the world." Ben shakes the world violently. Why use the world as a play! ”

At this time, Zhou Chang also came out to speak, clearly expressing his opposition to the abolition of the prince for no reason. Zhou Chang was a little stuttering when he spoke, and it was very difficult to express his meaning, and finally he said that he was in a hurry, he took off his official hat and said: "The minister can't speak, but the minister knows that he can't!" His Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince, and the minister will not be edicted! ”

This stuttering made all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty laugh, and Liu Bang also laughed, so this matter was put aside for the time being.

"Ai Ai" comes from the story of Deng Ai, the Wei general during the Three Kingdoms. Deng Ai, a native of Jianyang, Yiyang County (now Xinye, Henan). In 263 AD, he and Zhong Hui led an army to attack Shu Han, and Deng Ai took the lead in leading the army to smuggle Yin Ping into Chengdu, causing Shu Han to perish.

Later, Deng Ai was framed by his political rival Zhong Hui, so he was killed because of Sima Zhao's suspicion.

However, before that, his relationship with Sima Zhao was still good. It is recorded in "The New Language of the World" that Deng Ai has a stuttering problem, and when he speaks, he calls himself "Ai...... Ai ......". Once he was in Luoyang to attend Sima Zhao's party, and when he was talking, he began to "Ai" again...... Ai ......". Sima Zhao joked with him: "You keep talking about Ai Ai, how many Ai are there?" Deng Ai did not show weakness, and said: "Feng Xi Feng Xi, isn't it a phoenix?" ”

Another theory comes from the 117th chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (Wei was in charge of the Sima clan, and Jiang Wei was defeated in Niutoushan):

Yi (Sima Yi) jokingly said: 'How many Ai Ai are there?' Ai Yingsheng said: "Feng Xi Feng Xi", so it is a phoenix. It's agile, about that. These two are terrifying.

"Feng Xi Feng Xi" is an allusion in "The Analects of Weizi": in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Madness said "Feng Xi Feng Xi" in the public opinion song, referring to a phoenix.

In addition, Volume 12 of "Art Forest Cutting Mountain" quotes "Jade Box Miscellaneous": "Deng Ai is a luan, and Lu Yun is a hidden bird." "Luan is also a phoenix. It can be guessed that Deng Ai Fu Luan, in addition to using allusions, Feng Xi Feng Xi at that time also referred to himself.

Later, people put these two stories together, and there was the idiom "period Ai Ai", which describes the stuttering of people. 】

。。。。。。

Song Qing hurriedly said: "This is strangely tight, let's talk about it quickly." ”

Jane Niang said:

"I'm guessing too. Today, the army is strict or not, I am a weak woman, so naturally I don't know.

However, the monarch often asked the soldiers to take a bath, and most of the soldiers at the entrance of the second floor followed the short hair or cut off the hair. Only women don't require short hair.

This, unless you enter and exit the second-floor door, you can't feel it, but when you enter and exit the second-floor door, our own guards can immediately know that it is different.

If the soldier has short hair or tied hair, if he is the same as in the door of the second floor, when he goes out, all the armies will look at him, and the man will not be hidden.

If that person had taken refuge in us, that badge would not have been faked, and each battalion had a walk-around for verification, and if that person was a smart man, he would not dare to come up to the second floor door.

But it may have been tried. ”

At this time, one of the soldiers immediately pressed the intercom: "Who is on duty at the second floor door?" ”

The second-floor door quickly replied: "Back to the base camp, the second-floor gate is here for hundreds of households in Xingwen Yuanqiao." ”

The soldier asked: "Within three days, are there any people who often visit the door, but there are no procedures?" ”

The second-floor door also quickly replied: "Lord Hui, we have to check, this has to ask, wait a word or two (about 5 minutes)." ”

Minister Yang was also interested, and said to Zhen Niang: "Oh, you see, I said that today is Chrysostom Yuyan, who said that women are not as good as men, Zhen Niang has already said one, I remember, you just said two." ”

Zhen Niang was already a little distracted, and at this time she was mentioned by Minister Yang again, and she didn't think of it for a while: "Ah, there is another one?" Oops, I didn't remember either. ”

After a pestering effort, the star on the second floor of the door replied: "Report, there are more than forty or fifty of them are more suspicious, we have no good way to screen them, but they must be incomplete and cannot enter." ”

He said, "Think about it, have you actually been here many times, but you are not particularly impressed. ”

After a while, a voice came back: "We don't know if it's what you're looking for, there is a person who came by himself once, and said that the official sent him to pick up things, and then he said that he made a mistake, so he went back, and the one registered at that time was called Cuckoo."

Later, I should have been here, some said four or five times, and some said ten times, because they were all with others, and they didn't register, because they didn't come in. ”

Wei Jie said: "Although there is no exact reason, but in the past, I heard Meng Yuan's Batu Tuluk once say that there was a nail in the Song army, and he became the head of the Song army's navy. ”

He joined the army and asked, "Did that cuckoo have a military license number?" ”

The entrance of the second-floor door said: "That cuckoo, that day, the military cards have not been fully issued, and there are indeed people who have not yet led the military cards, and the military cards are all available in the evening of the same day." ”

Tu Xicai said: "It's not necessarily true, if it's the Song Army's sailors, it is knowing that we have a boiled Poseidon Cauldron, not to mention that taking water in the air is even more magical, how can you not know." ”

Wei Jie said: "No, when there is no military card, our aerial water spiral, only the top of the eagle's beak rock has been put into use. After the camp was closed, the movement of the people in the barracks was subject to many restrictions, and they did not have the ability to understand the operation of the entire Eaglebeak Rock Battalion. ”

Wei Jie raised his binoculars and looked around, and said to Tu Xicai and Lin Xi: "Today, Marshal, I suggest withdrawing the defenders of the northern front, so that the enemy troops on the northern front mistakenly think that we are not strong enough, or that we do not have enough drinking water, and we can even make noise inside, so that they can enter the attack range of the trebuchet, and in that range, our trebuchets and fire yaksha are condescending and easier to attack. The northern front is bound to be the main force, and as long as the enemy forces on the northern front are annihilated, there is nothing to worry about on the western front. ”

Minister Yang said: "Minister Yuan, it is not advisable to make noise internally, if there are spies and spies who take the opportunity to make trouble, we will be very passive. ”

Tu Xicai said: "Then, let's make a noise, lure the king into the urn, close the door and beat the dog." ”

Song Aoxing cooperated: "How do you say it? ”

Tu Xicai said excitedly:

"Let No. 1 beg to attack the second and third lines of the West Gate from the air, and it is better to be louder, so that the enemy troops on the northern front will think that we do not know their details, and lure them to speed up.

Wait until the enemy forces on the Western Front are in range of the trebuchet, and let the second ball attack their center and rear army from the air, and let them trample on each other.

What do you think of it? ”

Lin Xi said: "Practice brings true knowledge, how can you know if you don't try?" ”

Song Qing hurriedly raised his hand: "Today, can we try the cloud burst bomb you said in advance." It's also good to reduce some casualties, no, no, let's try to see if it works. ”

The ghost blows the lamp
