The sky is clear, the clouds are not stained, the distant mountains contain daisies, and the wind warms.

The sky was so blue, there was not even a trace of floating, as if it had been filtered out of all variegated colors, and it shone magnificently.

At this time, Shouzhou city is in full swing, the sand is raised, only to see the Wei soldiers lined up in a long four rows, every two people are one meter apart, the head of the arrangement is a mound of soil, high uplift, not far away a large number of soldiers are in full swing with shovels, hoes and other utensils to dig the local soil, the excavation site has a special person responsible for transporting these dug soil with a small cart to the starting position of the soldiers lined up in a line, and then the first soldier at the starting position can hand the soil contained in the basket to the next soldier, In this way, when the basket full of dirt is delivered to the last soldier at the end of the platoon, a simple means of transportation such as a cart will be pushed to the construction site.

In the past three days, under the noses of the defenders of the Southern Tang Dynasty, far from the range of Shouzhou City, the height of the mound built by the Wei army is increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just three days, the four sides outside Shouzhou City have been built by the Wei army.

Shouzhou City Tower, Liu Renzhan, the guard general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, stroked his beard on his chin, observed the scene of the Wei army under the city, and said: "The generals deployed by the Wei army to attack the city have changed, three days ago, the Wei army used various methods to storm my Shouzhou City, but it has stopped in the past few days, but it has been digging and building a slope on the spot."

The general hurriedly asked: "Why did the marshal say that the Wei army under the city had changed generals?" Maybe it was because the Wei army had lost troops and suffered a lot of casualties these days, but it had no effect, so it was just another method. ”

Liu Renzhan said: "You see, the distribution of personnel in the construction of the Wei army is quite orderly, the use of non-commissioned soldiers, coordination and unity, which is completely different from Li Wenzhao's deployment in the previous month, before Li Wenzhao was just a reckless man with no brave strength!"

He looked down on Li Wenzhao, the 300,000 army had been fighting for more than a month and almost two months, and he had no brains to climb the city, and filled a road from the moat with human lives.

Enemy fool, I'm lucky!

A group of generals around Liu Renzhan discussed a lot, and someone asked: "Dashuai, our army has dug tunnels around the city and installed clay cylinders, as long as there are Wei people digging tunnels, our people can hear the movement, there has been no movement in the past few days, the Wei army has used other weapons such as siege trucks, stone throwers and other weapons to attack the city head-on, but I don't know why, when the attack is retreated, does the Wei army want to rely on digging earth and building slopes to attack the city?"

Liu Renzhan glanced at the orderly and good construction scene under the city, and nodded: "Exactly." Our army is guarding the city, condescending, and the garrison is rigorous, the Wei army has lost troops under the city for several days, the current Wei army commander must be at odds with Li Wenzhao, the siege strategies of the two contradict each other, you see that the Wei army sometimes attacks the city, sometimes retreats, and the scale is not very large, it must be that the new person does not want to attack the city, and because of Li Wenzhao's persecution, just put on a show, so it seems that the battle is defenseless, and the advance and retreat are lost. ”

Liu Renzhan, who had been in battle for a long time, saw at a glance the contradictions in the deployment of the Wei army.

All the generals were convinced, and some people said excitedly: "Liu Dashuai is discerning, I am fortunate to be able to serve under Dashuai!" Even if the blood is splashed on the battlefield, the last general will follow him to the death. ”

Liu Renzhan has always treated soldiers as if they were relatives, and he has led soldiers for many years, and he is known for his prestige and is loved by everyone, so he does not find it strange.

Someone said: "General Wang, don't be so pessimistic, Liu Dashuai is highly valued by Your Majesty, Shouzhou City is an important town in Huainan, Your Majesty and the ministers of the court will never give up Shouzhou City, let the Wei army tear a hole from here, and will definitely continue to send people to rescue!"

"You're right, but we can't pin all our hopes on reinforcements, we will lose if we hold on for a long time, and everyone will know this ideal. We also have to find a way to save ourselves. Liu Renzhan said.

The general hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the marshal what is his plan?"

Liu Renzhan said: "The Wei army has been digging and building slopes in the past three days, and they must want to build a slope higher than the city wall of Shouzhou, and then they can turn around and condescend, use stone throwers and other long-range attacks on us, suppress us and cannot carry out an effective counterattack, but they can advance step by step, continue to build slopes, and build until the city of Shouzhou." At that time, we will be the turtle in the urn, and it will be difficult to have the art of returning to the sky. Nowadays, the generals of the Wei army are not in harmony, and the various departments cannot coordinate with each other, it is a good opportunity for our army to send troops, and the opportunity must not be lost and come again, our army should take the initiative to attack and take them by surprise! ”

The generals around him hurriedly persuaded: "The Wei army is fierce in the field!"

Everyone was busy with the peak and did not have an order, and it was not appropriate to make an assertion to persuade them, now that the city is well guarded, everyone does not want to go out of the city to fight with the Wei army, and the name of the Wei army's field battles has been started in the blood.

"Our army should continue to garrison Shouzhou and wait for reinforcements, the Wei army can't beat the city, and will never dare to attack other places around the city, and we will be equivalent to dragging the Wei army of 300,000 horses, which is also a great achievement!" Someone said.

"If I can't wait until I can't get out of the city, when the Wei army builds the soil slope, our army's city wall advantage will inevitably be lost, and the offensive and defensive momentum will be easy."

"Isn't the Wei army digging earth and building slopes to be higher than the Shouzhou city wall, we can also continue to raise the city wall, and we can tear down the houses in the city as building materials, as long as the soil slope is higher than theirs, the condescending advantage is still not reduced!" A famous military general came up with an idea.

"The Wei army's 300,000 horses have sufficient manpower, and if our army has to defend the city and increase the city wall, besides, if you want to continue to increase the height of the city wall, once it is too large, there is a danger of collapse, and there is no problem for the Wei army to build an earth slope on the flat bottom." Liu Renzhan explained.

As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly hurriedly went upstairs to report: "The Wei army has dug a ditch in the northwest corner!" ”

The generals stopped talking and laughing, and their faces suddenly changed. Liu Renzhan said: "As expected, he couldn't take Shouzhou after digging the moat." Let's go, follow the old man to have a look. ”

I saw at least a few thousand people digging desperately in the open space between the northwest corner of the city and the river, making the dust and busy.

Chen Xu rode a horse and took his own soldiers, inspecting the construction progress, silently watching this busy scene.

It was afternoon, the sky was vast, and geese were flying.
