The Xiongnu military camp was full of laughter, as if they would break through Shule the next day and march to southern Xinjiang. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Opposite to the joyful Hun army, the Han army camp was quiet.

Gao Zhong was looking at the usable water collected by Shaoyuan, hundreds of kettles, dozens of water tanks, and snatched the last water source, but these waters were also stretched. "Shaoyuan, how long will this water be enough for us?"

Shaoyuan looked at the water that he had worked so hard to collect, and shook his head solemnly, and said helplessly, "Ten days at most"

Gao Zhong looked at the calm and waveless water tank, "That is to say, maybe we will not run off the food in ten days, and the water will be cut off first" The water tank that was silently inspected and rounded "Shaoyuan, these water uses should be controlled these days, we will now go to see how the river is being dug, how Brother Wu is digging, before digging out the well, every drop of water, we must cherish it extraordinarily"

When the two of them came to the construction site, they saw that along the river, Wu Xu led people to dig six wells before and after, and people near the six wells went up and down, and a handful of soil kept being sent out, working hard for the drinking water problem of the Han army.

Gao Zhong squatted on the construction site, signaling the soldiers to leave him alone and continue to work, and when the moon and stars were scarce, Wu Xu came out of the well, "General, are you here?"

Gao Chong handed over the kettle and towel and asked, "Captain Wu, how deep has this been dug?"

Wu Xu took a sip of water and said, "General Hui, I dug more than two zhang today, if we keep digging overnight, we can dig to about three to four zhang before dawn tomorrow, but the lower it goes, the slower it gets, our water can still support us for a few days to drink?"

Gao pet raised his two hands "Ten days, ten days at most"

Wu Xu was startled, and almost dropped the kettle in a hurry, and hurriedly protected it, "In other words, within ten days, we must dig a well?"

Gao Pet Zhengse said, "Otherwise, we will not run out of food, cut off water first, die of thirst, Tianshan South, dangerous"

Wu Xu arched his hand and said, "General, rest assured, I will lead the soldiers day and night to dig a well this morning."

Gao Zhong nodded and stood up, "Shaoyuan, let's go back, I think tomorrow the Hun army will definitely come to provoke again, if they come to provoke again, we will all fight back, so that they can see that our Han army is not easy to provoke, although they cut off our water, but we are not afraid, we must not mess with ourselves"

The Han army held torches high and dug wells from morning to dark, never stopping. The Hun army was at ease, waiting for the Han army to break down.

But Moore Khan sat outside the big tent, feeling the refreshing mountain breeze and the gentle sunshine. King Zuo Xian returned from his inspection and said with a smile, "The Great Khan is so Yaxing"

Ke Moore opened his eyes, sat up, patted the empty seat next to the chair, and motioned for King Zuo Xian to sit here, and King Zuo Xian bowed his hand, expressed his gratitude, and sat next to Ke Moore. But Moore said, "The weather is good today, Ben Khan has been stolen for half a day, and everything is going well in the camp?"

King Zuo Xian gave his hand, "Back to the Great Khan, everything is going well, several ministers have gone out to hunt, it is autumn now, the animals are fat for the winter, and the prey is fat"

But Moore suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, this proposal for hunting is good, King Zuoxian, why don't you go hunting with Ben Khan?"

King Zuo Xian shook his head, "The minister still has to go up to the upper reaches of the mountain to do some work, and this time he won't accompany the Great Khan."

But Moore shook his head helplessly, "Then there's no way, eh, no, we can stimulate the Han army."

King Zuo Xian was puzzled, "Stimulus?"

But Moore smiled and said, "The Han army is short of water, but we are not short of water, so we called dozens of people, brought buckets, and splashed water at the gate of his Shule City, although it did not attack the city, but it could deeply stimulate the Han army, and it could be regarded as humiliating them."

As soon as King Zuo Xian heard this, he suddenly had an idea: "The minister suddenly thought of a plan that could further hit the morale of the Han army, so let his subordinates accompany the Han to go through this experience, right?"

Thinking of it, he immediately put it into action, especially in the fight against the Han army, the Xiongnu Khan Ke Moore had extraordinary enthusiasm, and immediately took his troops to prepare supplies and went to Shule.

And at this moment, Shule, Gao Pet is also helping near the construction site, which is dug to this day, but it is only about four zhang dug, but in addition to the moist soil, there is not a drop of water. But the Han army still kept digging, and they couldn't sit still. Gao Pet was actually thinking in his heart at the moment, "There will be water, there will be water", Shaoyuan looked at Gao Pet's eyes were extremely anxious, sighed, and thought in his heart that 'in the face of war, a person's manpower is too weak after all'

A herald hurriedly ran over, "General, find the Huns, but they are so strange"

Gao Zhong stood up and picked up his helmet, "Shaoyuan, come with me, Brother Wu, you keep digging, I'll go and see what the Huns are doing, we killed you yesterday, and you're not afraid of death today?"

Gao Zhong came to the top of the city tower, and sure enough, he found that the Huns were indeed very problematic, they did not carry siege weapons, nor did they approach Shule, but outside the range of the archers, playing with water. Everyone splashed water on each other, all of this looked at the Han army's face was confused, did the Huns eat too much today? Come to play in front of us?

Gao Chong understood the approach of the Hun army, and Shaoyuan asked, "Ah Chong, your complexion, do you understand what they want to do?"

Gao Chong nodded, "He did it on purpose to show us, he knew that we were short of water, and deliberately wasted water on us to show us, it was not a big problem for them to come today, I am afraid that they will come every day, and the water shortage crisis in our army will become worse day by day, and in the long run, it will inevitably affect morale."

Shaoyuan sighed, "Then we can only hope that Brother Wu will dig the well as soon as possible, then we will be saved, Ah Pet, you answer me seriously, what are the chances of us digging water here?"

Gao Zhong showed a wry smile, "Shaoyuan, I can't answer this question, I really don't know"

Suddenly, a phalanx of Hun soldiers came over, but Gao Zhong did not let the Han army shoot arrows, this Huns did not bring siege weapons, obviously not to attack the city, there is no need to waste arrows. "Who's coming?"

I saw that within the phalanx, a Hun man turned out, but he replied in crisp Chinese, "In the lower Xiongnu royal court, Zuo Xianwang, Zali, is the top of the high-ranking general?"

Gao Chong was surprised that this Zuo Xian Wang's Chinese was so fluent, "Zuo Xian Wang has traveled to study in my Han Dynasty?"

King Zuo Xian smiled and said, "General Gao guessed well, he traveled to the Han Dynasty under the pseudonym Xu Li and learned the cultural knowledge of the Han Dynasty."

Gao Zhong asked loudly, "Since you have seen my Han culture, and the Han has the grace of education with you, why did you raise troops to invade my borders?"

King Zuo Xian laughed and said, "The Central Plains is prosperous and warm, why do you Han people monopolize it?

Gao Zhong said disdainfully, "It's useless to say more, if you have the ability, you can break the city and talk about it, so that you can see my big Han soldiers"

King Zuo Xian smiled and said, "Why should I attack, there is a shortage of water in your city, it is in the Shule River that is broken, you will not attack because of the lack of water in a few days, why should I waste my troops?"

Gao Pet "I dig six wells, I don't believe that there is no water, the river is still here, there must be water"

King Zuo Xian took Gao Chong's words as a joke: "I advise the general to surrender as soon as possible, here, there is no water to dig up!"

As soon as King Zuo Xian said this, everyone in the audience looked sideways! Everyone thought that King Zuo Xian was a man of his own words, but seeing that he looked very confident, it seemed that he still had something to say!
