Chapter 71: It didn't work

Wu Renxiong came to Gu Du's residence and told him about his conversation with Guan Shanyue.

Gu Duchuan smiled and said: "It seems that his heart is not bad, but his heart is a little smaller." ”

Wu Renxiong said: "Don't talk about him, I envy you, when I was your age, I was just a former army adjutant general, how can I be like you, when I was not yet twenty years old, I was already a high-ranking official and famous all over the world." ”

Gu Du said: "What is there to envy, I have exchanged my life for this." ”

Wu Renxiong rebuked: "! Who the fuck didn't trade their lives for? Am I, the general, eaten by eating? ”

Gu Du smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. ”

Wu Renxiong said: "Don't say these useless, Guan Shanyue is also reasonable, if you want to take Chu Shuting to battle, you should have an official document from the Imperial Soul Division, otherwise he is the Imperial Soul Master in charge of Zhenbei Pass, once there is any mistake, he will be responsible, and this responsibility, I'm afraid no one can afford it." ”

Gu Du nodded and said, "We also said about this matter just now, Li Xia has already gone back to write a letter, since Master Guan also means this, then send six hundred miles to expedit, so as not to delay the fighter." ”

Wu Renxiong said: "Okay, that's it. ”

Gu Du asked, "How did the boundary river be dug?" ”

Wu Renxiong replied: "The sentry does not dare to get too close, one of the sentry has been shot dead by the enemy, but a rough estimate shows that the trench dozens of miles in front of it is already more than a zhang wide and more than a person deep. ”

Gu Du frowned and said, "So fast? ”

Wu Renxiong replied: "The sentry reported that the enemy troops were digging day and night, in turns, and even soldiers wearing armor followed suit, probably for fear that the excavated soil would freeze again. ”

Gu Du asked, "How far can the catapult be thrown?" ”

Wu Renxiong replied: "It's useless, the enemy camp is a mile away from the trench, and the catapult can't be thrown through, and the enemy has crossbowmen to guard the trench, so we won't let us push the catapult to the edge of the trench, and even if we push it to the side, it still can't reach the enemy camp." ”

Gu Du sighed, no one is fucking stupid, what he can think of, others can think of it, now the ditch is more than a zhang wide, and it is difficult to explore the camp, and it takes four days to expedite the round trip of six hundred miles, not counting the time that the high priest considers, counting five days, this ditch will definitely be wider, and the war horse may not be able to jump over it at that time.

This is the so-called opportunity not to be lost, the time will not come again, Zeguo is really not here to fight, nor to lure the enemy into battle, or to dig the boundary river.

Wu Renxiong asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The ditch is one foot wider, can the war horse carry people to jump over?" ”

Wu Hito-woong replied, "You can jump over when you rest, but if you run through the pass...... I guess it's enough, if you want to say it's up to you, I have a few good horses, you can ride them as you like, but if you want to make five hundred, or even five thousand horses, jump over, it will definitely not work. ”

Gu Du sighed again and said, "Then you don't have to go to the camp, you can't even cross the trench, what else can you explore." ”

Wu Renxiong said: "You go around, you go around and kill at the same time, don't you kill one less." ”

Gu Du blinked, this is true, but in this way, Chu Shuting will definitely not do it, and said: "Then I will go by myself, without Chu Shuting, I will go early tomorrow, you give me five hundred horses and a thousand horses." ”

Wu Renxiong nodded and replied, "Okay!" ”

When she got up early the next day to leave, Chu Shuting pulled Gu Du's little finger and asked, "Master Gu, why don't you bring your disciples with you?" ”

Gu Du replied: "I'm just going to kill people, are you going to go?" ”

Chu Shuting hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then will they kill us too?" ”

Gu Du replied, "Of course." ”

Chu Shuting said, "Then the disciple will go and take the wolves to protect Master Gu." ”

Gu Du was slightly surprised and said, "But Master Guan won't let you go." ”

Chu Shuting asked, "He is not the soul master of the disciple, why should he discipline the disciple?" ”

Gu Du replied: "He is a yellow-robed soul master, one level higher than me and your soul master, we all have to listen to him." ”

Chu Shuting asked, "Then if he asks you to surrender, do you also want to listen to him?" ”

The three of them laughed together, and Li Xia picked her up and said, "Yaya, let Master Gu investigate the situation first, and then take you with me next time." ”

"Oh." Chu Shuting agreed, but she still looked at Gu Du with a blank eye.

Gu Du didn't dwell on it anymore, turned around and left.

Li Xia said to Jin Lan: "You will definitely have a son in the future, and your daughter will definitely not be close to you." ”

Jin Lan's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I want you to take care of it!" ”

Gu Du led the army out of the customs, and he was not in a hurry, he walked slowly, the captain was puzzled, and endured more than ten miles before asking: "Master, why are you so leisurely?" ”

Gu Du replied: "One is to save horsepower, and the other is to wait for the sun to turn west, when we gallop westward, if the enemy wants to shoot me, we must raise our heads to meet the sun, and we will shoot them sideways, but the sun will not dazzle." ”

The captain clenched his fists and said, "Master Divine Calculation!" ”

Gu Dushu smiled and said: "You said this, but I was blinded by the sun when I was hunting, so I just thought of it, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, Henggu is like this, I don't need to count." ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Du was five miles away from the trench and ordered to dismount and rest, eat and drink the horses, rest for two quarters of an hour, and then get on the horse and go again, nearly three miles, he saw that the enemy army was busy, and the laborers who were digging the soil climbed out of the trench and fled northward, only the crossbowmen stayed at the edge of the trench, and there were shield bearers who supported long shields to protect the crossbowmen.

Gu Du frowned, sure enough, he could think of it, and others could also think of it, the enemy army had long been prepared for this kind of small attack, so he was well prepared, and there was no advantage to take advantage of at all.

Gu Du sighed and said, "Go back." ”

After speaking, the army turned around, and heard the enemy shouting in unison: "Don't fight from afar!" Timid! So handsome! Thousands of years to live! ”

The captain frowned and said, "Master, they scolded you for being the eighth turtle king. ”

Gu Du squinted at him and said in a cold voice: "I really haven't heard it, Zun Jia is so knowledgeable and clever, and it is really too condescending to be a captain." ”

The lieutenant lowered his head in embarrassment, pulled the reins, and moved away from Gu Du.

Back in Guanzhong, Takehito asked expectantly, "How?" ”

Gu Du replied flatly: "I didn't fight, there are still two miles away, the laborers ran away, the enemy not only has crossbowmen, but also long shields, and uses cavalry to bow and crossbow arrays, and there is a trench in the middle, so I can only bring humiliation on myself." ”

Wu Renxiong sighed and said: "This is the opportunity not to be lost, the time will not come again, okay, just wait for the boundary river to divert water." ”

Gu Du said: "Not necessarily, big brother, how many crossbows are there in Guanzhong?" ”

Wu Renxiong's eyes lit up and asked, "Are you still going?" ”

Gu Du replied: "I have to go again, otherwise won't they let them talk in vain?" ”
