Chapter 297: Tibetans

After several twists and turns, Chen Zhi really found a place to start, in an inconspicuous corner at the foot of the city wall, several rows of houses rose from the ground,

The pass is not big, there is not much place to waste, almost all the places in the pass are reasonably used, because of the proximity to the city wall, food, equipment and other materials obviously cannot be stacked here, it was built as a place for soldiers to rest early, Chen Zhi and others determined the place, just behind one of the houses in the open space full of debris, the next day, when Dong Zhuo woke up, the passage had been dug several meters deep,

"Uncle Zhi. Ice @ Fire! Chinese." It is rare that Xu Chu did not accompany Dong Zhuo, and under the leadership of the soldiers, Dong Zhuo soon saw Chen Zhi waiting on the edge of the passage.

"My lord." Bowing down, Chen Zhi hurriedly let out the entrance of the passage behind him,

"Did you dig it through?" Stared at it, but found that it was dark below, and he couldn't throw it without looking at how deep it was, Dong Zhuo turned around unnaturally and asked,

"Not yet." Chen Zhi shook his head and replied, and then saw Dong Zhuo's inquiring gaze, so he took the initiative to explain: "Because I am afraid of collapse, when digging down, I will let them dig down to a depth of two zhang before turning to, but although the bottom can be dug down, there are stones standing from time to time, so that now it has turned six corners, but the lord can rest assured, at this speed, it will definitely be able to dig well before noon." ”

Chen arrived, Dong Zhuo didn't doubt it, after all, he had been digging for most of the night, and it was impossible that there were no results at all.

"Speed is important, so is the safety of the soldiers, and when there is enough time, tell the people below that you must stabilize the passage that has been dug." After hesitating a few times, Dong Zhuo still didn't dare to go down to take a look, but just said to Chen Zhi in a loud voice,

This is not to say that he is timid and afraid of death, the passage is not very spacious in the first place, there is no lifting equipment at this time, except for the rope when the soil is transported upward, the soldiers basically rely on their own strength to support the mud wall around the body and move slowly, with his body of nearly two hundred pounds of physique, he is definitely looking for his own guilt,

Nodding, Chen Zhi replied solemnly: "Don't worry, maybe it's because of the terrain, the soil below is very strong, so I sent a hundred soldiers below, half of them are responsible for digging, and half are specially used to knock out the surrounding area with stones, and there are soldiers who are familiar with digging are watching, so the lord doesn't need to worry about safety." ”

"Okay, be careful, especially when you're about to dig through, and let the city pay attention to the movements of the Xianbei people outside." Seeing that Chen Zhi responded, Dong Zhuo didn't say anything more, and turned around to leave after greeting Chen Zhi.

Time passed little by little, the passage gradually dug deeper, and finally, when there was still some time before noon, with the sound of the earth slamming down, a bright light suddenly appeared in the originally dim passage, and several soldiers who were struggling to dig couldn't help but pause, and then rushed to the light with great joy.

"Dig through." With a low exclamation, the soldier suppressed the joy in his heart, and hurriedly sent someone to tell the news to Chen Dao, who was waiting above,

After getting the news, Chen Zhi did not immediately run to tell Dong Zhuo, but ordered the soldiers to continue to strengthen the passage until a stone went down and there were almost no concaves on the hard soil, which made the soldiers stop and rest, and he carefully looked out from the exit.

"What a coincidence." Surprised, the eye-catching scenery made Chen Zhi feel pleasantly surprised, it turned out that the place of this exit was not elsewhere, it was the clusters of bushes left by them on both sides of the gate, these shrubs are not high, only the depth of no legs, even if a person squatting down is afraid that half of his head will be exposed, it is also like this, when he cleaned up the forest outside the gate before, this place was left behind, and he didn't expect that their exit was actually dug in this bush,

Soon, Chen Zhi shrank back, and after telling the soldiers to carefully cover up the shape of the cave entrance, he immediately set off to rush back, a zhang wide passage, so that he could run without the slightest scruples, and turned more than ten corners in a row, Chen Zhi quickly returned to the entrance, and then climbed up,

"My lord, the passage has been dug." It didn't take long for Chen Zhi, who appeared at Dong Zhuo's place to live, to run in with a loud cry of surprise,

Chen Zhi is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is still very smart, after all, it is the strategy he proposed, he didn't have much confidence in whether it can succeed or not, but now that the channel has been completed, although this idea was added by Dong Zhuo, it did not prevent him from being full of excitement at this time,

A channel, if it is used in the war, may not play a big role, but if it is used in a conspiracy, it can serve as a key point to turn things around, and this conspiracy, and this conspiracy, if it comes from his hand, if it is done, is enough for him to spread his name all over the world.

"Alright." Dong Zhuo was stunned for a while when he heard this, and was immediately filled with a thick surprise,

"yes, it's already dug up." nodded again and again with a happy expression, Chen Zhi's face at this time had long since lost his usual calmness, and his eyes were bloodshot, but Chen Zhi seemed to be unconscious,

"Hahaha, good, good, good, God help me." In the midst of laughter, three good words were spit out in a row, which shows how happy Dong Zhuo is in his heart,

Looking at Dong Zhuo, Chen Zhi also smiled like a flower.

"Is it damp in the tunnel and how is the ventilation going?" After a long time, the mood of the two finally calmed down, and after a moment of silence, Dong Zhuo said slowly,

"Just excavated, whether it is damp or not is not visible for the time being, but the inside is not stuffy, those few soldiers who watched the excavation are all familiar, at the beginning they left a few ventilated places, even if the hole is closed, although the inside will not be as smooth as now, it will not make people feel stuffy." Although Xu Chu was staring at the beginning of the excavation at night, and later replaced him with nothing to do in the future, Chen Zhi asked people to explain the relevant matters to him in detail, and when Dong Zhuo asked at this time, Chen Zhi blurted out almost without thinking,

"I want to leave a group of people in the passage for a while, what do you think?" Suddenly, Dong Zhuo sat up straight all of a sudden, and his eyes stared at Chen Zhidao for a moment,

Without answering immediately, Chen Zhi lowered his head and pondered,

"Although the passage is spacious, people will not be too depressed when they hide inside, but it is too dark inside, and people have been in it for a long time, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it, whether the lord will think about it again." I don't know how long it took, the excitement on Chen Zhi's face gradually faded, and he slowly spoke under the gaze of Dong Zhuo,

"It's not difficult to solve the problem of black, and you can let the soldiers place some supplies in the passage for their daily use." Since he spoke, Dong Zhuo already had some ideas in his heart, and after Chen finished speaking, Dong Zhuo added loudly,

Chen Zhi listened silently, and after a while, before he could speak, Dong Zhuo spoke up again: "Now that the passage has been successfully excavated, there is still a lot of time left, just so that the soldiers can dig out some more places in the passage for them to temporarily live and hoard materials." ”

After a slight pause, Dong Zhuo continued: "If your previous plan is not successful, if it becomes a fact, Lubankou will inevitably become a place where the Xianbei people are strictly guarded, at that time, no one dares to guarantee whether it will be able to smoothly enter from the passage outside the city, once it is not successful, these preparations will be empty, leave the soldiers, you can make an appointment, then we can still send people over, if it is successful, if it is not successful, the soldiers hiding here are just available." ”

"What the lord said is that he thought things too simple before, thought about them poorly, and almost broke the big thing." Suddenly getting up, Chen Zhi knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo and pleaded,

"How can I blame you for this, hurry up, didn't I think of it before." Busy stepping forward to pull Chen Zhi up, in this era, I have never heard of anyone living underground, but when I was thinking about the tunnel before, Dong Zhuo suddenly remembered some fragments of the tunnel war in the later generations, and then the idea of living in the tunnel came to mind,

"The last general is going to let people prepare." After being helped up by Dong Zhuo, Chen Zhi said, and ran to give an order.

"Zhong Kang, you go and pick out more than ten people with the strongest endurance among the guards, let them prepare and then stay, for a month, regardless of whether the people I sent can come at that time, let them spontaneously attack and burn all the food of the Xianbei people in the city." After closing his eyes and being silent for a long time, Dong Zhuo opened his eyelids again, looked at Xu Chu beside him and said indifferently,

"Don't worry, Chu will take care of it." He didn't sleep all night, Xu Chu's eyes were scarlet, he only squinted for a while when he got up early, and then he was reluctant to stay away from Dong Zhuo's side, looking at Dong Zhuo's face that was obviously a lot haggard during this time, Xu Chu was silent for a while,

He didn't know how other princes Xu Chu was, but he saw Dong Zhuo's efforts, and he had heard of Dong Zhuo before, but when he really came to Dong Zhuo's side, at least he Xu Chu hadn't seen Dong Zhuo's way, looking at Dong Zhuo, Xu Chu sighed for a while,

There are a lot of soldiers in the pass, there are enough people to complete the idea in Dong Zhuo's head, after Chen Zhi gave the order, the soldiers who had been resting under the passage moved again, until the evening when the sky was dark, after changing the soldiers several times, miraculously excavated a few rooms of nearly two hundred square meters in the passage, Dong Zhuo began to let people fill the space below with materials after knowing,

Then, in the case that only Dong Zhuo, Chen Zhi, and Xu Chu knew about it, a team of ten soldiers who had already been selected were left in the passage, and after restoring the place at the entrance of the passage to its original appearance, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the soldiers to pour all the materials in the pass with fire oil, leaving a few people to prepare to set fire, and the rest of the people quietly touched out of the pass under the leadership of Dong Zhuo, and galloped away in the direction of Yanmen Pass.
