Chapter 28: Xiao Yuan's Three Advices

Xiao Yuanchang is a lot haggard, and he is very tired these days in order to prepare grain and grass:

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"In order to build these useless things, at the expense of countless money and food, aren't you afraid that the Donghu army will attack the city?"

"At that time, even if there are tens of thousands of rooftops, what is the use?"

Not to mention, if you have the ability to build tens of thousands of rooftops, how dare the Donghu people fight the big Han?

The construction of large-scale construction is also a symbol of national strength.

Liu Ke just smiled and kept quibbling:

"Aren't the Donghu people also singing, and this rooftop, seeing that it is about to be completed, wouldn't it be more futile to give up halfway?"

"Aiqing, don't ask more."

"Your Majesty...."

Liu Ke simply changed the topic: "How much grain is still in the city?" ”

Xiao Yuan was often stunned, this was too blunt, but the word "grain storage" triggered an instinctive reaction, and he still replied subconsciously:

"Ten days to go."

"Big bucket or small bucket?"

"Big Fight."

Liu Ke shouted in his heart, ten days ago, there was less than ten days of grain and grass, and now ten days later, grain and grass are still available for ten days.

I don't know what means Xiao Yuan often used to get grain and grass, it's really powerful.

However, he didn't show too much, just waved his hand, turned into rain and became a journeyman, and drove Xiao Yuanchang out.

When the rain turned into rain and came back, Liu Ke went down to the construction site again.

"This time, there is basically nothing to pay attention to during the excavation process, but when the tunnel is completed, more preparations will be made."

"Some camouflage or traps should be set up at the exit to avoid being discovered by the Donghu people and follow the tunnel to attack the city."

"In addition, you have to leave an escape route, and cover it up, so that when you come back through the tunnel, you can get rid of the pursuers."

As time went by, the guards became good at digging tunnels one by one.

Liu Ke is also thinking about spending so much effort to cultivate a batch of bipedal caving machines, only once, thanks to it!

When the counterattack on the Central Plains .... What should be there is an opportunity.

Another ten days have passed, and a whole month has passed since the time is calculated.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, this is the way to die!"

Today, Xiao Yuanchang didn't fight with Hua Chengyu anymore, and kicked Huahua aside with a single kick.

Liu Ke happened to pass by, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but applaud.

The civil servants of the Han Dynasty are powerful, there is Yue Shaoqian in front of him and he rushes without a horse, and Xiao Yuan often kicks the guards in the back, and the minister's style is fierce, which can be seen.

Xiao Yuanchang didn't have much of a joke, and he didn't repeat the euphemism of the first two hard persuasions, and shouted at the top of his throat:

"Your Majesty, now is the time to concentrate your forces and prepare to meet the enemy army, instead of wasting time and resources on these useless projects!"

Liu Ke helped Chengyu up, looked left and right, the Tongtiantai had been built, and the stage was still a little close.

"Pretty much."

"What almost!"

Xiao Yuan Chang flicked his sleeves: "Your Majesty should immediately demolish these buildings to show your determination to resist the enemy, so that the materials consumed will also play a role!" ”

Liu Ke raised his head, ah, what Xiao Yuan often said is also a good way, a little bit of a feeling of fighting against the water, maybe it can improve morale.

However, it will not be adopted.

Liu Ke did not answer directly, but asked:

"How much grain and grass is left in the city?"

"Available for ten days."

Xiao Yuanchang was speechless in his heart for a while, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to ask the grain and grass, in this situation, wait for the grain and grass to run out and surrender directly?

"Big fight, little fight?"

"Xiao Dou."

"Ten days later, I want to go to the city to see a play."

Liu Ke smiled and groaned: "Since the Donghu people have been singing for so long, it would be a bit rude for us not to listen." ”

"I don't know what the difference between this Donghu play and ours is."

"Your Majesty!"

No matter how fierce Xiao Yuan's tone was, he couldn't hide the deep disappointment in his heart.

Ten days later, there is not much food and grass left, gather the crowd to listen to the play or gather the crowd to surrender? !

Liu Ke didn't care if he was disappointed or lost, and drove him out directly:

"If Xiao Qing's family is free, you can also go with me and watch a good show!"

And ten more days passed.

Yang Zhong, who was full of surrender halfway, also came once, on the surface he was dissuading like Xiao Yuanchang, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

In the end, he was sent by Liu Ke to write the "Surrender Form", but he didn't expect Yang Zhong to be really cooperative, and it is said that he began to write it after returning home.

At this time, the rooftop and the stage were all repaired.

Liu Ke took Dian Chu and eight hundred imperial guards, and took advantage of the night to touch the entrance of the tunnel.

Seeing the eight hundred people, their faces were serious, with the will to die.

This doesn't work, if you can die one less, you have to die less, and it is better to live all.

It took a lot of effort to get such a diehard, and it was not worth it to lose all of it in a battle.

Liu Ke's expression changed, he folded his hands in the direction of Tongtiantai, bowed, and began to flicker.

"I calculated my life, and the hexagram said that it would be a success."

The eight hundred imperial guards listened, their faces became more and more cold, and ten thousand bones withered ten thousand bones withered, the last time they were scared and hesitated, this time they will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

It's nothing more than four words, and death is like home.

Liu Ke turned to face everyone, waved his hand, and snorted softly:

"But I don't agree."

"Fighting a war is not about who dies, it's about seeing who can survive to the end."

A few words relaxed the mood of the guards.

Liu Ke was satisfied, he didn't want 800 people to take their lives to attack the Donghu base camp, as long as he made some big moves, so that the forbidden army that arrived later could take advantage of the chaos to engage in battle, it was enough.

Then he began to assign tasks to the eight hundred imperial guards:

"Divide one person into the tunnels near the city gates."

"The rest of the people will go to the Donghu camp with Dian Chu."

"Then there really are only eight hundred left."

Dian Chu counted it confidently, and if one person removed one out of eight hundred, it was eight hundred.

"What happened to eight hundred?"

Liu Ke twisted a handful of soil, sprinkled it into the wine glass, drank a sip, and poured the rest on the ground, pulling out a water stain.

He looked at the bottomless tunnel, no longer frivolous a few days ago, and his eyes showed a fierce light:

"Eight hundred people are eight hundred, the first strike is the strongest!"

It's a matter of success or failure.

"First strikes."

The urn sounded and repeated.

Liu Ke waited until he could no longer see the eight hundred and one people who had entered the tunnel, and then went to the city, and the bright moonlight shone a lonely shadow.

"Eight hundred people are smooth, if there are a few fewer people, and then shout, it will be too awkward....."

..............................

On the top of the city.

It's late at night.

The city was guarded by constant patrols, and the gates were wide open, but there were also many soldiers who were ambushed behind the gates.

Yue Shaoqian wiped the sweat from his face, leaned against the city, and sat down slowly.

It is really not difficult to defend the city, the emperor summoned Liuding Liujia to defend Kaifeng, so that the Donghu army did not dare to attack the city easily, and it did reduce a lot of defensive pressure.

But the trouble is that the Donghu people built a stage under the city, and sent people to sing on stage whenever they were free, day and night.

Taunt.

It's so ironic!

Holding down those soldiers who want to rush out and cut people has become a difficult task.

Waiting for Yue Shaoqian to finally appease those soldiers with high morale and let them guard the city patiently, it was a coincidence that the soldiers who were seconded to build Tongtiantai returned one after another.

It also brought the news that the emperor was supervising the construction of the Tiantai all day long, and he couldn't even go to the court.

Now it has changed from being aggressive to being passive and avoiding war.

Or you are thinking, Your Majesty is confused, at this time, there is a lot of construction, and the little things in the palace are not put down, and they are tossed! There is no need to fight this battle.

Or are you thinking, Your Majesty is powerful, a Dharma altar will summon Liuding Liujia, if you use the Tongtiantai, you can't summon an extraterrestrial meteor? There is no need to fight this battle.

It's just that with the migration of time, the supply of grain and grass is in short supply, and the big bucket grain becomes the small bucket grain, and there are more and more people who hold the first idea.

The summoned immortals can't still eat military rations, right?

"General Yue, the soldiers are not stupid, the big bucket is divided into a small bucket, in fact, there are many things, everyone's hearts are bright."
