Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, it was pouring rain, lightning and thunder.

Qingji, Sun Wu, Bo Yu, Wu Zixu and others were sitting on the edge of the table, eating mutton and drinking mutton soup.

The shepherd girl, Ah Qing, also sat beside Qingji, looking at the mutton soup in the bowl in amazement, a little at a loss.

After returning to the camp, Qingji asked people to slaughter all 30 sheep, large and small, or cook, or boil soup.

Those who can really eat meat in large pieces are also jealous of these monarchs and ministers, and it is already a beautiful thing for ordinary soldiers to be able to drink a mouthful of soup mixed with minced meat.

"Miss Aqing, this mutton soup is very delicious, why don't you try it?"

Qingji looked at A-Qing with a smile and said.

"I ......"

Ah Qing had a sentimental look on his face, as if he was sad for his slaughtered sheep.

After all, the human heart is made of flesh.

The sheep that she had raised for so long were all slaughtered at once, and their minced meat was still in front of her, how could she not be touched?

"Come, this is the reward of the widow."

Qingji also personally picked up the bowl of mutton soup and handed it to Ah Qing's mouth.

Ah Qing snorted, then took the pottery bowl by himself, drank it with a "grunt", chewed it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up!

"Delicious!"

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Qingji chuckled.

Like Qingji, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others, they are noble-born, and they are high-powered figures, if they are in peacetime, they are almost a big meal on weekdays.

As long as they want to eat, bear's paws, abalone and other delicacies from the mountains and seas, there are all kinds of delicacies, and they will definitely be able to satisfy their appetites.

However, now that the food and grass in the army are running out, it is also a relatively luxurious thing to be able to eat meat.

Qingji asked people to slaughter thirty sheep in one go, and they were also happy in suffering.

Under the guidance of Qingji, Ah Qing finally ate two large bowls of mutton soup with tears, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

When everyone saw this, they were angry and funny.

"Yikes! Mouse! ”

"There are rats!"

Ah Qing exclaimed, and hurriedly took refuge in Qingji's arms.

I saw a big black mouse come out of nowhere, and suddenly exposed to everyone's sight.

Qingji's eyes were quick, and when he stepped on it, he immediately trampled on the head of the giant rat, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"This big rat everywhere is really amazing, bigger than my Wu country."

Qingji picked up the dead mouse and said with a slight smile: "I'll add another meal." ”

Mouse meat, Qing Ji ate it once when he was a child in his previous life, and he barely ate it.

If this is placed in modern times, Qingji may not dare to eat rat meat, after all, there are too many pesticides and other harmful substances in the body of mice, and there are too many bacteria, and eating it may cause infectious diseases.

But the rats in the Spring and Autumn Period generally lived by eating crops, but they did not have to worry about bacterial breeding.

"Girl, how long will you stay in the king's arms?"

At this time, Bo Yan looked at the trembling girl Ah Qing who was snuggled in Qingji's arms and laughed jokingly.

"Yikes!"

Ah Qing realized it later, and hurriedly flashed to the side, a flush unconsciously appeared on his face, obviously a little shy.

Ah Qing didn't deliberately get into Qingji's arms, but this rat was indeed too terrible for her.

In a panic, Ah Qing subconsciously rushed to Qingji to seek a sense of security.

Sun Wu, who was sitting on the side, looked at the big rat in Qingji's hand, and said with a smile: "Shuo rat Shuo mouse, no food for me!" Three-year-old girl, don't care about it. ”

"The deceased woman is a paradise. Paradise and Paradise, I have what I have. ”

Wu Zixu echoed and sang: "Shuo rat Shuo mouse, no food for me!" Three-year-old girl, Mo I Kende. ”

"The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Happy country, happy country, I am straight. ”

Seeing Sun Wu and Wu Zixu reciting poems like this, I was moved.

Bo Yan was not far behind, and immediately recited: "Shuo rat Shuo mouse, no food for my seedlings!" Three-year-old girl, Mo I am willing to work. ”

"The deceased woman is suitable for the suburbs. Le Jiao Le Jiao, who is the eternal number? ”

This poem, from "The Book of Songs: Shuo Mouse", can be said to be a ballad about mice.

It is rare that his three ministers can still have fun in the bitterness, and they are quite pleased to have a feeling of chanting poetry.

Let people take down this big black mouse and wash it and peel it, and then stir-fry, Qingji came back to his senses and fell into deep thought.

"Rat, rat ......"

"King, what are you thinking?"

The girl A-Qing stared at her beautiful eyes curiously and asked.

"There it is!"

Qingji immediately stood up, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Second and third sons, the widow has a way to make my coalition army break into the city without attacking the city!"

"This ......"

Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and Bo Yan who were present couldn't help but look at each other.

If you don't attack the city, you can still break through the city?

Could it be that Qingji let the soldiers put on their wings and fly in?

Qingji immediately calmed down and said slowly: "Second and third sons, widows and ask you, what are the characteristics of mice?" ”

"Characteristics of rats?"

Sun Wu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Cunning? Flexible? ”

"Definitely. It is said that it is a trait, and it should be a specialty of mice. ”

"Punching holes?"

"Exactly!"

A smile tugged at the corner of Qingji's mouth and said, "Shuo rats are good at making holes. ”

"Now that the city is strong, our army does not have enough siege equipment, and the supply of baggage is insufficient, if you want to break through the city, you can only find another way!"

Sun Wu and the others suddenly realized and asked: "The king's intention is to follow the example of a mouse to make a hole and dig a passage from the ground to enter Suicheng?" ”

"Not bad."

Qingji immediately ordered: "Bo Yi, pass on my order to move a camp outside Suicheng, the closer the better, and set up a chain of tents to block the enemy's sight." ”

"Ordered the soldiers to dig tunnels in the tent and go straight to the city!"

"No!"

Bo Yu didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly put down the pottery bowl in his hand and flew to convey Qingji's order.

In order to save time and effort, Qingji also had to relocate the camp to shorten the process of digging tunnels.

This is the fastest way for Qingji to think of to capture Suicheng!

That is, tunnel warfare!

It is absolutely difficult for people in this era to imagine that there will be such a method of warfare.

Because as far as Qingji knows, the first tunnel war in history took place during the Warring States period.

There is a clear record of digging tunnels for offensive and defensive operations in "Mozi Beixue".

By the time of the Three Kingdoms, tunnel warfare was widely used.

It's the so-called surprise winning.

Shen Zhuliang is no matter how scheming and witty he is.

As long as Qingji doesn't expose his intentions, he doesn't want to block the soldiers of the coalition army from coming out of the tunnel, and then join forces inside and outside, and take Suicheng in one fell swoop!

engulf

In fact, when the Wu army led by Qingji attacked and destroyed the Han Kingdom, it used a tunnel war, but it was not widely known.

If it was changed before, the Chu army in the city would have been on guard.

However, it is the coalition forces that are now falling behind, how could Shen Zhuliang have thought that Qingji would have such a countermeasure?
