After grabbing the grain in Jinzhou, the Sunit Department followed Yue Tuo back north, but this time, instead of letting them stay on the periphery as sentinels, they were allowed to enter the Daling River with a large group of men and horses to participate in the siege of the Daling River.

When they arrived, it was when the first trench was first formed.

At this time, Zu Dashou finally understood Huang Taiji's plan, which was to trap them in the city, cut off the connection between the various platforms and the Daling River, and then slowly concoct the surrounding towers, and finally attack the Daling River.

Zu Dashou led the army out of the city several times and wanted to destroy the trenches, but in front of the elite heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners, he did not take advantage of it and returned with a feather.

Huang Taiji was still not satisfied with a trench, not only let the Han slaves continue to dig the trench, but also organized people to build an earthen wall in front of the trench, as if he would not give up until the Daling River was completely sealed.

Yue Tuo, who turned back to the Daling River, and the Han people under his command were also divided into a piece of land, and together with the Han people who had been here for a long time, they dug a ditch.

Zhiwen was still a little worried that he would be separated from the Wang father and daughter, but Yue Tuoxu felt that the Sunit Ministry had done a good job of supervising the collection of grain in Jinzhou, and the new job assigned to them was to continue to supervise the digging of trenches by the Han people who cut grain in Jinzhou.

Speaking of Wang's father and daughter and Zhiwen and others' luck is not bad, they were not arranged to build an earthen wall, which is much more dangerous than digging a ditch, the Ming army in Dalinghe City, in addition to going out of the city to harass, also fired artillery at the head of the city from time to time, the first target of the artillery bombardment, is the person who built the wall, many Han slaves have been killed and wounded.

Not only that, the area where Zhiwen is located is one of the first areas where the earthen wall was built, and with the protection of the earthen wall, you only need to concentrate on digging the soil, and you don't have to worry about the threat of artillery, which makes people feel a lot more at ease.

"Brother, what do you think, it's so hot, why do you still let Sister Shuyun work?" Nan Nan pouted and followed behind Zhiwen sullenly.

After coming to the Daling River, the autumn tiger suddenly became powerful, and it was hotter than when he was harvesting the autumn grain in Jinzhou, because he was weak, the amount of labor was large, and the food and drink were not enough, and many Han people were tired and sick and even died of exhaustion.

Fortunately, Zhiwen brought a lot of food to the Sunit Department and could secretly help make up for it, so the situation of these Han people who were supervised by them was much better than that of other departments.

"I'm not going to let her work." Zhiwen called Qu Dao, "She worked with her father as an overseer, and it was much easier than those who dug and picked up the soil." ”

Wang Shuyun's father and daughter are usually based on supervision, and when they need to rush to work, they will help together, compared with ordinary people, they will not be too tired.

"It's so hot, even being an overseer can heat people to death." Nan Nan stomped her feet and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her head, "This ghost weather, how does it feel hotter than the grain harvest two days ago." ”

Zhiwen smiled bitterly, "You can't let his father and daughter be idle, this is not good, right now it is Sudsurut, both of them are busy outside." ”

The Sunit Department killed the two Tartars who bullied the Han people, and they were able to keep them fed, and these Han people finally knew how to repay their kindness, and they were very active in their work, so they didn't need to supervise the work.

However, the Jin people were urging very tightly, and they had to come every day to inquire about the situation, and Surut and Sude did not dare to slack off, and they had to be the same as other Mongolian departments, even if they were pretending, they had to go into battle in person, and took turns to soak in the trench to supervise the work.

The nominal two tribal leaders were dispatched, and Zhiwen naturally couldn't hide from them, so they also had to pretend to walk around.

As soon as the weather was hot, it was dusty when digging a ditch, and even the good-tempered Nannan, who had always been good-tempered, was also made impetuous, and seized the opportunity to make a small return to Zhiwen's temperament.

Zhiwen knew the reason, and he would not take the tantrum of Nan Nan to him to heart, patiently pacified Nan Nan, took out the water bladder that had already filled the system pond water, and handed it to Nan Nan, "Come, drink some water and quench the fire." ”

The water in this pond is warm in winter and cool in summer, and drinking it can calm people's minds and calm their minds, and it is the best way to cool off.

Nan Nan drank a few sips of water, and finally showed a smile, "It's delicious, brother, the water we have been drinking in the past few days has been mixed with your private goods, right?" ”

"I know I can't hide it from you." Zhiwen replied.

He is also helpless, there are many people here, and the more convenient water source is the Daling River next to it, but this river is small and has little water, and it has to be supplied to the needs of Jiannu first, and in a day, the time when it is their turn to get water is really limited, and it is not enough for the six thousand men and horses of the Sunit Department, not to mention the tens of thousands of Han people under their supervision.

Sulut Sud had to send someone to find another source of water, and finally found a place, but because the distance was too far, it was time-consuming and laborious to go back and forth.

In view of this, Zhiwen took the initiative to take care of the logistics affairs on himself, whether it was water or firewood and food, he could always take advantage of people's unpreparedness and unknowingly take out the water and food in the system to fill it.

In fact, these things such as fetching water and cutting firewood are all done by the Han people in the Mongolian departments of other supervising armies, and although the Mongolian people are servant soldiers, they can be regarded as the second master, and there is no reason to do such a lowly thing by yourself.

The Sunit Department was able to do this, naturally because of their origins in Zhiwen, but after taking over the logistics affairs, the Han people did not have to be distracted, and their work efficiency was surprisingly high.

Maybe this is the reason why Yue Tuo is more satisfied, as for Sunit to take on the trivial tasks of logistics by himself, no Jin people will pay attention to it, in their eyes, as long as they do the work well.

Of course, although the pond water is inexhaustible, the water used by all of them cannot be replaced by the system pond water, and the water that others have worked so hard to bring back cannot be wasted.

Only a small number of people can drink the original and unique pond water, such as the Nannan in front of them.

"Would you like to take a break?" Zhiwen took the water bladder and asked.

They wander outside, seemingly overseeing the work, but in fact they have another purpose.

In addition to having to make a show because of the Jin people's close attention, the main thing is to find someone, to find Liu Laohan, and to find the grandfather of their brother and sister.

That's right, in Jinzhou, except for finding Wang's father and daughter, there is no gain, it's not that they haven't asked Wang Xuexue and Wang Shuyun, but neither of them has seen their grandfather.
