Chapter 223

Since Cao Cao did not send people to dig tunnels, then the enemy must be digging tunnels.

Everyone looked at Gao Yuan very suspiciously.

Guo Jia said, "Prime Minister, the enemy's camp is twenty miles away, and digging tunnels may have no effect." ”

These people on Cao Cao's side couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Gao Yuan naturally wouldn't tell them about the water ripples, but he was still sure, so he smiled strangely: "I have recently studied the I Ching, and I know a little about its Chinese king's divination. As soon as I moved in my heart, I must have dug a tunnel. ”

"Yikes!" Cao Cao's mouth was wide open, as did the others on his side.

Cao Cao shook his head, and said in his heart, don't talk nonsense here, you still have the math, so he sarcastically said: "It's not that Ben Taishan doesn't believe in the virtuous son-in-law, at least, when King Wen counts, there is a tortoiseshell or something." Dare to ask how the virtuous son-in-law is calculated? ”

Gao Yuan stretched out his right hand, learned from the old fairy on TV, and rhythmically tapped his middle finger with his thumb, and said with a smile: "Pinch your fingers and count." ”

Oops~. Cao Cao almost didn't turn his back on it. The heart said that my son-in-law was too fucked, and he pinched his fingers.

At this time, Sima Yi walked out, and these people were convinced of their lord, because Gao Yuan never said that he was wrong. He said, "Since my lord said that someone digs a tunnel, someone must dig a tunnel." If Cao Gong didn't believe it, he could send more people out to investigate, mainly on the ground. ”

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gao Yuan, who was smiling, and said in his heart that it would be sent, and it was not a big deal, what if Gao Mengyan was right? Thereupon. He waved his hand.

has his own general Cao Ren to arrange.

Before the action began, some horses galloped into the city, "reporting the ......." Lord, Yuan Jun has left the camp, and it is estimated that it is less than ten miles now. ”

Tanma ran twenty miles, and during this time, Yuan Jun could run almost ten miles. Now there are only five kilometers left, that is, in the blink of an eye.

Cao Cao frowned. "I thought that Yuan Benchu's three consecutive defeats would stop for a while....... Give me orders, and the whole city will be on alert! ”

Suddenly, there was a horn sound of high alert in the city.

Sima Yi glanced at Guo Jia. The latter chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Yuan Shao is here, maybe not to attack the city. ”

"Oh? So what is he here for? Cao Cao finished. Scales fall from one's eyes. looked at Gao Yuandao: "He's here to cover digging tunnels!" ”

This digging tunnel is nothing more than digging down the city wall, or sending troops into the city. Either way, it would be a huge blow to the defending side. Now Cao Cao's side is at a disadvantage, and if he suffers a sudden blow, he estimates that the city's defense will not be guaranteed.

Cao Cao was shocked and shouted, "What about Xia Houen, where is your listening team?" ”

Listen to the cylinder team! As the name suggests, however, Takato still thinks. That's a fucking name.

After a while, Xia Houen's listening team came with a report. I didn't hear anything.

Cao Cao looked high.

Gao Yuan spread his hands and said, "Uncle Yue, if you come to dig a tunnel, how can you not guard against the other party's listening tank?" ”

Sima Yi then said: "Gong Cao, Yuan Shao's army will come in a while, and the urn that goes down to the ground will be invalid." ”

This makes sense, not to mention the earth-shattering shouts and killings, just to say the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of people, everything about "listening" will fail.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple to make sure." You can put some water in the urn, if there is vibration, there will be ripples. ”

Everyone was shocked and said in unison: "Good way!" ”

Then, sure enough, news came that there were ripples in the urn, and someone must be digging a tunnel.

The crowd was shocked, and even more so, shocked by the lofty prophet of the unknown, who was really a man of God.

Cao Cao couldn't help but think, I said how do I always lose, it turns out that Gao Yuan can pinch and calculate.

Now that he knows that the enemy is digging tunnels, he can judge that Yuan Jun will not storm Luoyang today, and will definitely wait for news from the tunnels. Therefore, Cao Cao can also have a target and use his energy to deal with the enemy and dig tunnels.

"Son-in-law, how do we deal with the enemy's tunnels?" Cao Cao asked.

This is the right question, and Gao Yuan, who came from later generations and saw the tunnel battle, said with a smile: "This is easy to say, irrigate water and smoke." ”

"Makes sense!"

On the other hand, when Yuan Shao came to Luoyang City, he ordered the soldiers to assemble the siege equipment slowly, and began to attack the city in a sparse manner.

For a time, gunpowder smoke filled the sky over Luoyang City. The Yuan-Liu coalition army flocked to Luoyang City like an ant colony. However, compared to the previous times, the intensity is much less.

Moreover, Yuan Shao, Cai Mao, and Liu Bei, the leaders, are not focused on the siege.

Many people hid in the camp outside the east of the city, and surrounded a tunnel.

Liu Bei clasped his hands in his sleeves, stared at the tunnel, and muttered, "Can this work?" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he said with disdain: "Our army has dug more than a hundred tunnels on these four sides, even if one can't work, a hundred can't do it?" ”

Cai Mao knew that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei had a grudge, so he hurriedly said to the mud: "Xuande is a little restless, and look at Yuan Gong's methods." ”

It was almost noon, and Yuan Shao ordered the whole army to make a posture of not leaving for the time being, resting for a while, and continuing the offensive in the afternoon. In fact, all my thoughts were spent on the tunnel.

As a result, Luoyang City was emitting black smoke, and the Gao Cao coalition army rested and guarded in the city. The Yuan-Liu coalition army rested outside the city and was on guard.

Yuan Shao and the others were guarding at a tunnel entrance, and then they couldn't stand anymore, so they found a seat to sit and wait.

Soon the news came that it was about to be dug up.

Yuan Shao and the others were about to dig through when they heard it, so they didn't sit down. All ran upside down, squatting at the entrance of the tunnel, looking at the pit, and the anxious mood can be imagined.

After a while, they heard a strange noise in the tunnel, and everyone felt that some soldiers must have returned to report the news. I don't know if it's good news or bad news. Whether this can successfully conquer Luoyang City is all on this tunnel, and everyone can't help but be concerned.

Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Cai Mao and the others all stared at the tunnel entrance with wide eyes.

After a while, there was a commotion, and suddenly there was a splash in the tunnel, and suddenly the splash rose up and became a spring.

"Oops!" Yuan Shao was squatting on the ground to watch, so he almost grabbed the edge of the tunnel with both hands and stuck his head in.

I didn't wait for anyone here, but I waited for a stream of water. But our Yuan Gong was taken aback, leaned back, and sat on the ground. In the blink of an eye, my ass was wet.

Everyone around them looked shocked.

"What about people!" Yuan Shao jumped up and said while holding his wet buttocks.

"People are coming, people are coming!" Liu Bei saw that with his words, everyone saw that people were constantly gushing out of the tunnel that had turned into a fountain, and after lying on the ground, they kept spitting water.

In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty people rushed up, and everyone couldn't help but be frightened. (To be continued......)
