Time passed quickly, Gong Du, who hadn't slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, he leaned against the wall tiredly, looked at the sky outside that had gradually brightened, took a long breath, and said to himself: "It's finally dawn!" ...... "As soon as the tense spirit relaxed, I couldn't control it anymore, and I actually fell asleep while sitting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, as soon as Gong Du fell asleep, he was awakened by a panicked scream, and in a daze, he saw his subordinates hurrying over.

"Dashuai, it's not good! The water in the moat is almost dry! The general said loudly.

Gong Du was shocked, took a long breath, shook his head vigorously, forcibly drove away the sleepiness, and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" ”

The general said: "Dashuai, last night was fine, but when the sky was just dawning, the water in the moat suddenly began to decrease, and now it has been reduced by almost half!" If it is reduced any longer, the subordinates are worried that the enemy will take the opportunity to attack the city! ”

"Let's go! Wait for Ben Shuai to take a look! Gong Du stood up violently and hurried to the outside of the city gate tower.

I saw that the moat, which was more than a foot deep, was only three feet deep at this time, and the fish at the bottom of the water sprang out of the water from time to time in horror, as if they also knew that the catastrophe was coming, and then looked at the distance, the water surface of the entire moat was falling at a terrifying speed.

After hearing the news, many of the Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city also ran to the head of the city, holding on to the battlements of the outer city, their faces were shocked, and there were many discussions, saying everything, and even proposing to wait for the water to dry up, go to the river to catch fish and come back and cook food.

A sharp-eyed young Yellow Turban soldier suddenly exclaimed, "Look! Enemy soldiers! There are enemy soldiers!! ”

The Yellow Turban soldiers looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and at a glance saw that on the other side of the moat, several enemy scouts rushed over, as if they were observing the abnormality of the moat, watching its movements, but there was no panic.

"It's a good thing that the enemy did!! The enemy is trying to drain the water in order to attack the city!! Brothers, watch out! A thin old Yellow Turban soldier looked nervous, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.

He's right! The enemy must be attacking the dungeon!! Some of the Yellow Turbans began to chim.

These words seemed to have magical power, and in an instant, they spread throughout the city, and the Yellow Turban soldiers involuntarily took out their weapons and prepared for battle.

Gong Du had already taken a fancy to the riot of the Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city, but Gong Du stood up and spoke out to stop the rumors, and several henchmen were afraid that the situation would become uncontrollable, so they all surrounded him at this time and asked the boss Gong Du for his life.

"Boss, how is this good?" A subordinate asked anxiously.

"Marshal, in my opinion, I will directly behead those who disturb the morale of the army and show them to the public!" The other will be furious.

Gong Du looked at the generals on the left and right, and then at the Yellow Turban soldiers who had no military discipline at the head of the city, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally said earnestly: "Brothers, strict military discipline can only control the chaos on the surface, not the chaos in people's hearts, at this moment, only a great sage and good teacher can save all this!" ”

The two generals who were not convinced by each other were stunned when they heard this, glanced at each other, suddenly realized, smiled at each other, bowed in front of Gong Du, and responded respectfully: "My subordinates understand!" ”

"Understood, you guys go!" Gong Du Dao.

After being nervous for a while, the yellow turban at the head of the city found that the enemy scouts outside the city went back as if nothing had happened after observing for a while, and after waiting for a while, there seemed to be no special movement in the enemy camp under the city, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and under the constraints of the generals, they put their weapons back.

But after relaxing, I don't know who suddenly complained: "It's okay now! I won't be able to cook without water in the future! ”

This unintentional sentence is like a small pebble thrown on the calm water, and the Yellow Turban Army, who had just relaxed, suddenly panicked again, in addition to worrying about having no food to eat, some were worried about no water to bathe, some were worried about dying of thirst without water to drink, and some were worried that they would not be able to wash their clothes or anything in the future!

The morale of the Yellow Turban Army is like water in a moat, and it is about to bottom, when someone in the Yellow Turban Army suddenly shouted: "Brothers of the Yellow Sky, listen to me!" ”

A 50-year-old Yellow Turban Commander raised his hands and shouted: "This must be the manifestation of the great sage and good teacher!" It was the great sage who used his mana to suck the river away! The great sages and mentors are testing our sincerity and perseverance! Only those who are sincere can pass this test safely! Become a true disciple of the Great Sage and Good Master! ”

The old man Wu Chang's face was pious, and his tone was a little unfathomable! When the unknown Yellow Turban soldiers heard that the great sage and good teacher had appeared, many believers were so excited that they knelt down and prayed to the heavens.

Soon, all the Yellow Turban Army, under the influence of this atmosphere, calmed down.

At this time, Gong Du stood up and said loudly: "Brothers of Huang Tian! There are also several wells in the city! The water in the well has not been affected in any way!! Rely on these wells! It's enough to make sure everyone has something to eat!! All have water to drink!! All we have to do now is to stay on the walls with peace of mind and not let the enemy take advantage of them!! ”

"Defend the city!! Defend the city!! The generals of the Yellow Turban Army took the lead in shouting the slogan, which was initially echoed by only two or three people, but immediately dozens of nearby Yellow Turban soldiers followed suit, and the sound spread farther and farther along the city wall, and after a while, the shouts were joined on all four walls of the entire city of Liyang.

"Hold on!! Castle Head!! Hold on!! Castle Head!! ......" This shout resounded in the air, and the sound shook the sky! The people of the city were all shocked when they heard this shout, thinking that the two armies were fighting, so they stopped to listen attentively, and when they knew the details, they shook their heads and smiled, and kept the matter in their minds.

The shouts of the Yellow Turban Army lasted for a while, and then gradually calmed down under Gong Du's signal, and all the Yellow Turban soldiers were full of excited looks on their faces! Morale is at an all-time high! If Feng Yaojun really chose to attack the city at this time, he would face the Yellow Turban soldiers who were so excited that they were already not afraid of life and death!

After Gong Yinglian learned that the river had dried up, she hurriedly came to her father Gong Du, "Father, this must be a trick that the hateful Feng Yao came up with!" The upper reaches of the Kui River must have been cut off by his troops! My daughter will go to dredge the river and solve the problem of water in the city! ”

"Daughter, try to bring your henchmen and soldiers to go, it's better not to let more people know about this matter!" Gong Du nodded tiredly in agreement.

"Rest assured, father! Yinglian will be careful! Gong Yinglian replied, but before leaving, she said with concern: "Father, you can rest for a while, and the affairs in the city during the day will be handed over to Yinglian, and Yinglian will take care of everything!" ”

Subsequently, Gong Yinglian ordered a thousand foot soldiers of the confidants and cronies of the headquarters, each of whom brought a pair of tools, opened the West City Gate, and walked west along the north bank of the Lihe River, all the way to inspect the reason for the disconnection of the Lihe River.

At this time, the water in the river has dried up, but there are still some low-lying places with puddles, and some fish that have not had time to swim down the river are jumping in the aquatic plants on the riverbed, and some are desperately trying to swim to a better place in the puddles.

Some nearby villagers called out to their families happily after learning that they could pick up fish on the riverbed, and the man rolled up his trousers and moved barefoot in the river mud with his bare feet, no matter how big or small the fish were nearby, as long as he saw them, he quickly moved over, picked them up one by one, and threw them all into the wooden barrel.

The women and children laughed loudly on the shore, and if the man of his own family grabbed a slightly larger one, there would be a burst of cheers, and if anyone was lucky enough to grab a big fish of more than two catties, it would attract a sigh of admiration from others, and the color of envy and jealousy could be seen at a glance.
