Chapter 38 The Battle of Zhongli Section 8 The soldiers are under the city

"Local materials!" Wei Rui replied softly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Cao was stunned, he never thought that Wei Rui would come up with this method, only to see Wei Rui simply sit on the ground and draw: "Lord Zhao, look, you only need to take people to the destination, most of your men have shovels, hoes, Iron hammer and the objects needed for construction, after arriving at the destination, you only need to start digging from the middle, I have sent Fan Jun to carefully look at the soil on the north bank of Huaishui, Huaishui is often flooded, after the flooding of the soil is deposited, mostly clay soil, the clay is the best soil required for the city wall, Lord Zhao can dig out the clay in the middle to pile up on the north and south sides, hammered by the soldiers, and then poured water, until it dries overnight, the city wall will naturally be indestructible. ”

Zhao Cao's mouth opened after hearing this, and it took a long time to close it. He tilted his head and looked at Wei Rui: "General Wei, I really can't understand how you can hold so many whimsical ideas in your head, now I am not admitting defeat, but after the city is built, it will not be too late for me to admit defeat." ”

Wei Rui couldn't help laughing: "The things in my head are not much more than others, Lord Zhao is still better than others, then I, Wei Huaiwen, will be able to drink good wine by then." ”

Zhao Cao stood up and said loudly: "The last general won't say anything, I will rush to the north bank of Huaishui immediately, and tomorrow I will see if what General Wei said is true." ”

When Zhao Cao led tens of thousands of horses and horses to build this city overnight, he really couldn't believe his eyes, just as Wei Rui expected, the city was completed within the time that Wei Rui expected with little effort to use local materials.

Zhao Cao saw that the city had been built, and the only remaining problem was that Wei Rui said that the city wall could become strong only after the city was dry. What he was most afraid of was that the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty would take this opportunity to attack his newly built city, and if he attacked at this time, he was afraid that it would be really vulnerable.

He was greatly relieved when he saw Yuan Ying leading his men to retreat on the city wall, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare the things needed to defend the city, and quickly sent someone to deliver a letter to Wei Rui's camp, telling General Wei that everything was ready to stop, just waiting for General Wei's order.

At this time, in the Daliang military camp, Wei Rui was extremely anxious, he arranged everything properly, and what he was most worried about at this time was this interlocking thing, if one of the links was not in place, he was afraid that his attack would lose the power of deterrence.

At this time, in the barracks, there is another person who is more anxious than Wei Rui, this person is Xiao Hong, the sixth prince, he can't imagine that Wei Rui actually dares to put himself under house arrest, at present, he is not leaving, not leaving, if he really takes out the majesty of the prince and escapes, it is not impossible, but ---- what he is most worried about at present is not whether he can escape back to the capital, what he is most worried about now is that he has not reached any consensus with Xiao Zong, although he has informed Xiao Zong of his intention to rebel, but he has not discussed the time to go south, if Xiao Zong is defeated and retreats to the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, then Xiao Zong will no longer have any reason to send troops south again, let alone become the foreign aid he relies on the most.

If there was no foreign aid when the army rebelled, just with the little soldiers and horses in the capital, if Cao Jingzong and Wei Rui learned about his rebellion, they were afraid that they would be able to take down those rabble in the capital with a team of 10,000 people.

How can I approach that Xiao Zong and quickly go south? Xiao Hong also ran out of ideas at this time. He needed someone to go to the military camp of the Northern Wei Dynasty and pass the information on.

Thinking of this, he nodded and called Lu Seng Zhen, and ordered in a low voice: "You quickly send someone to the second prince Xiao Zong, pass on my order, and ask him to fully cooperate with me in wartime and raise troops to the south." ”

That Lu Seng Zhen grinned when he heard this: "Lord Wang, let's stop and stop, now we can't even get out of this camp, how dare we send someone to Wei Ying?"

"Isn't there ---- way for you to go?" Xiao Hong asked with some annoyance.

"Lord Wang, in this situation, you and I should not have any changes. Lu Shengzhen said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, you think, you have sent people to the second prince to deliver messages many times, but you only received a letter in reply, didn't the prince think about what the reason was?"

Xiao Hong was shocked when he heard this: "What is the reason?"

"The last general is worried---- worried that someone has got those letters. Lu Seng Zhen said softly.

Xiao Hong was shocked when he heard this, and what he was most worried about at this time was also this matter. He originally thought that Xiao Zong was lukewarm to him, sometimes the reply was not so timely, although he also suspected other things, but they were all ruled out by himself one by one, today Lu Seng Zhen reminded him again, he remembered his previous worries, it seems that things are far from being as simple as he thought.

"If that's the case, what should we do?" Xiao Hong was indeed worried.

"Lord Wang, at this time, you can only brake with static, don't worry, slowly observe who in this army can get the letter to the prince. Lu Sengzhen rolled his eyes and thought of a way.

"Alas---- I don't want to wait for a day, if I lose this opportunity, I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to unite with Xiao Zong in the future. ”

"Lord Wang, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Now in this barracks, it is Na Wei Rui who has the final say----" Lu Seng Zhen heard the noise of people outside, it seemed that a large group of people had come to the barracks, he hurriedly opened the door curtain and looked out, and when he saw the people outside, his face became miserable and white.

"Wang, Wang, it was General Cao Jingzong Cao who led a large team of men and horses ---- rushed over. Lu Seng Zhen said to Xiao Hong with a sad face.

"Huh?!" After Xiao Hong heard it, his heart was wow cool and wow cool, this Wei Rui alone is not easy to deal with, although Wei Rui is extremely dissatisfied with himself, but in the face of his emperor brother, Wei Rui has never let himself not get off the stage in person, but this Cao Jingzong is a hot temper, the last time he was defeated in Liangcheng, that Chang Yizhi endured this anger, but Cao Jingzong finally honestly and unceremoniously reported his escape to the imperial brother, which made Xiao Yan extremely angry, transferred himself back and did not say anything, and counted it ruthlessly。

At this time, he was completely desperate, and it seemed that God was destined not to give himself this chance.

After Cao Jingzong saw Wei Rui, he didn't care about saying a few words, so he began to study with Wei Rui.

After listening to Wei Rui's strategic deployment, Cao Jingzong was extremely appreciative of his comrade-in-arms, he didn't expect Wei Rui to think of sending such a rough man as Zhao Cao to build a city, cutting the Wei army from the rear, and if the Wei army wanted to replenish grain and grass in the future, he didn't know how many detours he would have to make to get to the barracks.

"Jingzong, is Feng Daogen guarding Shaoyang City?" Wei Rui asked.

"Brother Huaiwen don't have to worry, with Feng Daogen and Yan Wenda in Shaoyang City, there will definitely be no mistakes. Cao Jingzong said with confidence.

Wei Rui nodded: "Shaoyang is currently the most important place, and it must be guarded to prevent the Wei army from sneaking attack." ”

"This is rest assured, it's just that Brother Huaiwen came up with such a good plan to send Zhao Cao, a rough man, to build a city north of Huaishui?" Cao Jingzong wanted to get to the bottom of it at this time, he had been thinking about this question in his heart for several days, how could he still bear it when he saw Wei Rui today?

Wei Rui saw his curious expression, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Does Jingzong feel that Lord Zhao is a rough person?"

"Brother Huaiwen, what do you think, how delicate can a superintendent who escorts grain and grass be?"

"Jingzong, you and I can't do anything about building a city. Wei Rui shook his head slightly.

"Why can't you do it? If you send me there, you will definitely be faster than Zhao Cao's men. "Cao Jingzong is angry.

"Jingzong, what kind of soldiers are you and I under you? Although there is nothing to say when going into battle, when it comes to carrying bags and packs, which soldier under our command can compare to the soldiers who do these heavy physical tasks all day long?"

"Hey---- Brother Huaiwen, I understand a little bit when you say that. When Cao Jingzong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "In this way, you have already thought about building the city?"

Wei Rui nodded slightly and said: "Since the Wei army began to besiege Zhongli, I have been thinking about the way to crack it day and night, and I have thought that there are many ways that I can't drive the Wei army away, so as to solve the danger of General Chang in Zhongli City, but when I got to Zhongli City, I found that this Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan are really not to be underestimated, that Yuan Ying occupies the south bank of Huaishui, Yang Dayan occupies the north bank of Huaishui, and a bridge is built in the middle to facilitate the transportation of materials, so that this Zhongli City has become their bag---- how to find a way to stop their material delivery?" Is it just to fight them face to face? Those Wei troops have superb horsemanship and are extremely brave, which are not the match of our southern soldiers who are good at water warfare. The only way we can do this is to cut off their support and let them retreat on their own----"

"Therefore, you sent Zhao Cao to build a city in the north to intercept their military salaries. Cao Jingzong exclaimed, "What a good strategy, it seems that the emperor sent you here, it is really too far-sighted." ”

Wei Rui heard his praise, but he was not happy at all, that Xiao Yan sent him here, there must be no generals around him, and his precious brother escaped again and again, which brought him too much trouble. He remembered his anxious mood over the years, and now that all this was carried out according to his own thoughts, what was the result? Will the result really be as he wished? He thought about these thoughts over and over again in his mind, and only by really operating can he know whether all this can be successful.

"Brother Huaiwen, I didn't expect you to be our main beam, it's really ----, alas, I, Cao Jingzong, didn't say anything, just waited for your order, and rushed over. Cao Jingzong was also gearing up at this time, just waiting for the war to start and charge into battle by himself.

Wei Rui's eyes at this time were slightly worried: "It's just that there are still two things to owe at this time----
