Chapter 41: Breaking Through (2)

"Hey, what's boring?" Xie An was angry and funny when he heard this, and pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "It's not easy to earn you, I don't want to make any more extraneous branches!" ”

"That means you're backing down again!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu pouted and glanced up at Xie An, suddenly sneered, and giggled, "But this time I'll spare you, after all, you really don't have time to think about this matter, you still have to think about it, how to tell Sister Wu about you and me!" ”

Xie An's face froze when he heard this, and he said with a wry smile, "You...... Can't you just not mention it? - Why do you always want to hit me? ”

The eldest grandson Xiangyu blinked and giggled, "Maybe, seeing your sad face is also a pleasure for me!" ”

"It's not a good way to have fun...... It's true! Xie An shook his head with a smile. (, Novels are faster and better)

In Xie An's arms, the eldest grandson Xiangyu gently rubbed Xie An's chest with a pink face, and said meaningfully, "Now, if you retreat, don't blame me for turning my face......"

"How is that possible!"

"That's good!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu raised his head, stroked his little hand on Xie An's face, and said softly, "I will conquer Chang'an within a month, and during this time, you should think about how to talk about this matter to Sister Wu...... At present, the whole army camp has 150,000 people, and they all think that I lost to you, and if you back down at this moment and make fun of my name, you know the consequences......"

"Yes, yes......" Looking at the coldness in the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An hurriedly nodded.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled with satisfaction, then shrank back, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother An, it's a little cold, you and I can go back to the account......

"Uh, that's ......"

In all fairness, with the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An didn't feel that Tongguan could stop her at all, even though Tongguan was once known as the second pass in the world.

The next day, that is, on October 4, the eldest grandson Xiangyu asked Liu Yi, Fei Guo and others to start from their own military camp and dig tunnels again towards Tongguan.

Whether it was the rebels in Tongguan or the soldiers of the Zhou army, they all thought that the eldest grandson Xiangyu planned to repeat the old tricks, but Xie An did not think so.

Xie An knew very well that the eldest grandson Xiangyu disdained to use the same scheme, and besides, what she asked Liu Yi and others to dig at the moment was not an underground tunnel, it should be said to be a bunker, one person high, two people wide, row by row, neatly heading towards Tongguan.

At first, Xie An was a little baffled, but after three or four days, he roughly understood what strategy the eldest grandson Xiangyu used.

This woman planned to build a road made of ice and snow before Tongguan and the military camp, so that the Zhou army could follow this road to the top of the Tongguan wall.

For this reason, the eldest grandson Xiangyu made people block the outside of the Tongguan city gate with mud.

Some people may think it is strange, building a defense line under the noses of the rebels in Tongguan, is there no action for the rebels?

Of course, you must know that when the soldiers of the Zhou army formed a defensive line, the rebels on the Tong Pass were not idle, and they shot arrows at the Zhou army under the pass.

At this time, the above-ground tunnel dug by Changsun Xiangyu a few days ago called Liu Yi and others played a role, once the rebels released arrows, all the Zhou soldiers in the tunnel squatted, and nothing happened.

Even, some Zhou soldiers didn't even bother to hide, and with the wooden plank full of ice and soil on the door of their heads, they came to the bottom of Tongguan along the tunnel and poured the ice and soil under Tongguan.

And to Xie An's surprise, the eldest grandson Xiangyu used another common sense he had told her, assembly line engineering.

To put it simply, the soldiers responsible for opening the road under Tongguan did not need to run back and forth, they only needed to stand in a row in the tunnel and send the wooden planks containing earth along Tongze General forward to Tongguan, while the empty planks were passed back from the soldiers in the other tunnel.

In other words, during the whole process, all the Zhou troops were under the protection of the tunnel bunker, and the only gap above their heads was also covered by a wooden plank on their heads, except for the occasional unlucky ones who were shot by the rebels through the gaps, which can be said to be foolproof.

Of course, seeing that the Zhou army filled the earth under the outer wall of Tongguan, the rebels in Tongguan were not fools, how could they not think of the Zhou army's scheme? Several times he forcibly opened the city gate and fought a decisive battle with the Zhou army, but unfortunately, the eldest grandson Xiangyu set up a wave of crossbowmen near the city gate, and built several defensive settings like pillboxes with the principle of building houses with ice and earth taught by Xie An.

Pile up a layer of soil, pour a basin of water, pile another layer of soil, and pour another layer of water, so that the bunkers and tunnel bunkers built in this way are not only extremely fast to build in the current cold weather, but also the built defense line is simply stronger than steel, not to mention that the rebels' crossbow arrows cannot be shot through, and even with a heavy hammer strike may not be able to destroy.

I have to say that the rebels on Tongguan were made by the strategy of Changsun Xiangyu and had no temper at all, and could only watch the soil outside the Tongguan city wall getting higher and higher.

Is the rebels too useless?

No! It's just that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is too powerful, and with the help of the weather, the impossible is possible.

Looking at the gradual completion of the ice and soil road under Tongguan, Xie Anxin sighed with emotion.

He had to admit that the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu was becoming more and more terrifying, and she was very good at using the common sense that Xie An taught him when the two armies were fighting, such as the black smoke during the attack on Luoyang, and the ice and soil defense line at the moment.

This kind of tactics and strategies that transcend this era, Xie An does not think that those rebels have a way to crack it.

If the rebels were smart, they should have dug the water of the Wei and Luo rivers and introduced them into the tunnels outside Tongguan, so that the tunnels dug by the Zhou army outside Tongguan for several days would be filled with water, and then frozen in the cold weather, making the Zhou army fall short.

It's a pity that the way the eldest grandson Xiangyu attacked Qinguan seemed to have a psychological shadow on the rebels in Tongguan, so that they didn't dare to dig their own graves anymore.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the eldest grandson Xiangyu dared to do this.

Looking at those rebels who climbed the city tower every day, as if venting and shooting arrows that almost had no effect on the Zhou army below, Xie An knew that Tongguan was over!

To put it bluntly, in the face of the step-by-step tactics of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the rebels in Tongguan could not let the Zhou army dig the tunnel to the outside of Tongguan in the first place to let it gain a firm foothold, but should bravely rush out and fight to the death with the Zhou army.

Of course, it's no wonder that the rebels in Tongguan are so cowering, after all, the strength of the two armies is like a world apart, and the morale is too different.

On one side is the 150,000 Zhou army with a rainbow of morale, and on the other side is the 60,000 rebel army whose morale is at a low point, how to fight?

No fight!

After observing for a few days, Xie An no longer paid attention to the battle situation in Tongguan, because in his opinion, Tongguan was over, as if the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu had calculated everything, and took advantage of the Yellow River Qiuxin to take Qinguan, and when she arrived at Tongguan, it was a cold winter, so that she could use this whimsical way to build roads with frozen soil.

To put it bluntly, by the time the demoralized rebels decided to hold on to Tongguan to stop the Zhou army, they had already lost.

As soon as Tongguan was broken, the road to Chang'an could almost be said to be unimpeded, Xie An had no doubt that the eldest grandson Xiangyu would be able to conquer Chang'an within a month, because this woman was very powerful, in front of her, the rebels seemed to be children who had just learned to walk, and there was no room for fighting back.

Instead of watching how the eldest grandson Xiangyu ravaged these rebels, Xie An felt that he might as well take this time to think about how to explain the matter between him and the eldest grandson Xiangyu to his wife Liang Qiuwu, in Xie An's opinion, that was the most troublesome thing for him.

Compared to the anger of [Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu Dance, what is the mere rebel army?

After thinking about it, Xie An returned to his tent as a marshal, as he expected, Li Shou, Su Xin, Li Jing, Tang Hao and many other generals were surrounding the brazier in the tent to roast the fire.

Speaking of which, although Xie An once again delegated the authority of commanding the generals to Sun Xiangyu, the commander of the army, the place where the generals discussed was still in Xie An's army commander's account.

In this regard, the eldest grandson Xiangyu's explanation is that this is the respect and courtesy she should give to her future husband Xie An, but in Xie An's opinion, this woman probably hates so many people going in and out of her tent, especially when some generals are covered in dust.

"How?" As if noticing Xie An walking into the tent, Li Shou asked while sitting by the brazier and baking the fire.

"Oh, well, Tong is over, that's all!" As he spoke, Xie An walked over, and saw that his henchmen Su Xin, Li Jing and others seemed to be about to stand up, waved his hand and said, "Sit, sit, sit, don't have to get up!" ”

After speaking, he sat on the ground in the position that the generals had given up, beside Li Shou.

"Tongguan?" Li Shou glanced at Xie An, and said angrily, "Who asked you about Tongguan?" In the current situation, this king also knows that Tongguan is over! - What this king asks is, how are you and the military advisor? ”

"What?"

"Less garlic!" While the generals in the tent grinned, Li Shou said angrily, "General Tang Hao has personally watched you walk into the military division's tent...... No, I'm still betting when you'll come out! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie An saw Su Xin, Li Jing, Tang Hao and other generals bowing their heads quite weakly.

"You're so idle!" Xie An glanced around at Li Shou and the generals angrily, and the generals smiled.

Because of getting along these days, the generals and Xie An have gradually become familiar with each other, and they have gradually learned that Xie An is actually very easy to get along with, no, sometimes, even Tang Hao, Zhang Dong and other generals dare to joke with Xie An, because they all know that Xie An will not care about this kind of joke.

"Isn't it idle and nothing," Su Xin rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "My lord, you must know that when you won the Eldest Sun Military Division, we were happy, right, Tang Hao?" ”

"Exactly!" Tang Hao nodded with a smile.

Xie An rolled his eyes when he heard this, and suddenly, he glanced around at the chief generals present, frowned and said, "No kidding, this official does have something to sum up with you and others right now!" ”

Seeing Xie An's serious expression, Li Shou and the generals in the tent also put away the smiles on their faces and looked at Xie An with a solemn face.

"That's right," licking his lips, Xie An said in a deep voice, "The official has a friend named Chen Dabao...... As for him, he married a wife, this woman's surname is Wang, she is quite powerful, my friend is very afraid of her, and then, my friend has a relationship with a woman surnamed Li behind his back, and he wants to marry that woman, so he is looking for me to find a way to ......"

The atmosphere in the tent seemed to freeze for a while, and the generals looked at me, and I looked at you, looking a little strange.

After a long time, Su Xin licked his lips and said in a low voice, "My lord means that you plan to marry the eldest grandson military master, but you are worried that your wife at home, General Liang Qiu, will be angry because of this, so you are looking for me to find a way?" ”

Xie An's face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he said angrily, "Su Xin, don't talk nonsense, this official is talking about my friend!" ”

"Huh? Isn't that what it is...... Oh, oh, the Admiral gets it! Being bumped by Li Jing's elbow, Su Xin came to his senses, exchanged glances with the generals, and said tentatively, "According to the last general, the adults are still ...... No, no, my friend is still ...... Don't tell Liang Qiu about this first...... No, well, who's that? ”

Xie An thought for a moment and said, "Wang! ”

"Yes, Wang, the last general thinks that the adult's friend still doesn't want to tell his wife Wang's about this, when the raw rice is cooked and cooked, when his wife sees it, the rice has been cooked, and it will be gone......"

"That makes sense!" Tang Hao nodded in agreement.

Xie An thought for a while when he heard this, frowned and said, "You mean, I'll hide this matter for the time being...... No, I want my friend to keep it a secret for the time being? ”

Su Xin held back a smile and nodded again and again.

At this time, Li Jing shook his head and said, "My lord, the last general thinks this is inappropriate, General Liangqiu...... No, who's that? ”

"Wang!"

"Yes, yes, that Wang is the head of the four concubines...... Uh, no, in short, the last general means that if the adult conceals it, it is not right, if the adult's friend conceals it, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, once the Wang family learns about this in the future, it must be very angry, yes, the last general thinks that it is better to marry the general...... No, no, it's better to marry the adult's friend...... Who's that? ”

Xie An opened his mouth, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Li, Li, Li!" ”

"Yes, it's better to tell the adult's friend about marrying the Li family...... Tell Wang, she understands! After saying this, Li Jingchang let out a long breath, looking at his appearance, he was even more tired than fighting a battle.

"You mean, this officer...... No, should the official's friend speak up to his wife? Xie An frowned when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "But that ...... The ......"

"Wang's ......," Su Xin kindly reminded.

Seeing Xie An looking at Su Xin with a strange look, Li Shou couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

Looking at Li Shou's exaggerated smile, Xie An's face turned red, he was annoyed, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, is it necessary to smile so exaggeratedly?" - In short, the official is Chen Dabao, my wife Liang Qiuwu is the Wang family, and the eldest grandson is the military advisor...... No matter who it is, you have an idea for this official! ”

"If the adult says so, it will be much easier for me to wait," licking his lips, Su Xin nodded and said, "What the last general means, or wait for this matter to be cooked and cooked before saying it, no matter how angry General Liangqiu is, he won't really take the adult, right?" - It's always a one-day husband and wife, right? ”

"That's ......," Xie An nodded thoughtfully.

"The last general thinks it's better not to be like this," Li Jing shook his head and persuaded, "The last general thinks that General Liangqiu is also a woman who knows right from wrong, as long as the adult tells the truth, the adult's wife will definitely understand......"

Xie An didn't have time to speak, Li Shou said with a mocking face, "General Li thinks so, that's General Li doesn't know, when your family joined the army in Jijing, one day he drank flower wine with Vice General Xiang in Qinglou, and that Mrs. Xie learned about it, but she carried a sharp treasure knife that was higher than you and me, and this king remembered that the knife was called [Kill Wolf], right?" - Listen to the name, slay the wolf, slay the ......."

"That's called [Wolf Slash]!" Xie An glared at Li Shou viciously, and said angrily, "Are you very idle?" Still in the mood to make such a joke? ”

Li Shou smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's because I'm very idle, that's why I relieved your boredom!" ”

Xie An was angry and funny when he heard this, glared at Li Shou viciously, and then looked at the rest of the generals.

"But that's it," Seeing Xie An looking at him, Tang Hao said with a straight face, "Your Excellency can tell General Liangqiu that the eldest grandson's military division has been of great help to your lords, and your lords can't bear to abandon it......"

"Will it work?" Xie An asked with a frown.

Tang Hao thought for a while and said, "If this doesn't work, the adults might as well make a statement to General Liangqiu, and say that after marrying the eldest grandson military master, the adults will no longer ...... Ahem, the meaning of the last general, adults should understand, right? ”

"You mean, swear or something?"

"Yes!" Tang Hao nodded.

Xie An nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he hesitated and said, "Well, actually, that friend of this official, he also knows a woman, well, her name is Jin's ......."

"Hiss......" The generals in the tent gasped when they heard the words and looked at each other.

"And?" Li Shou looked at Xie An in surprise, and said inexplicably, "When did you hook up?" As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, his right hand drew a [ten] character in front of Xie An, and said in a low voice, "It can't be her, right?" ”

Obviously, Li Shou was referring to Jin Ling'er, the head of the Jinling [Dangerous Building] Assassin Inn, after all, the symbol of the Dangerous Building is a cross-shaped pattern.

Under the confused gaze of the generals, Xie An smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Li Shou let out a long breath, nodded and said, "Do you know what this king thinks?" You, just like the current Tongguan, in a word, you are dead! ”

Xie An rolled his eyes when he heard this, and while he was roasting the fire, he meditated hard.

In the next few days, Xie An didn't pay any attention to Tongguan, which was not far from breaking the pass, and thought about how to explain these things to Liang Qiu Wu, Jin Ling'er's matter can be put aside for the time being, after all, the woman has not promised to marry him, but the eldest grandson Xiangyu, that is already a top priority, a bad one, will be angry because of this matter, it is not just Liang Qiu Wu.

Fortunately, there are still at least two or three months before the triumphant return to Jijing, and the so-called ship is naturally straight to the bridge, Xie An comforted himself like this.

He would never have thought that as early as more than ten days ago, his wife, [Yanhu Ji] Liang Qiuwu, who was far away in Jijing, had led 5,000 cavalry troops of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army to the northwest.

At this moment, he has already arrived in Luoyang...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member to recommend this work, your support is my biggest motivation. )
