Yang You’s face was happy but soon calmed down. He guessed that some Du Ruhui took the wax pill from Huang Yun and Yang You took a little effort to crush it. He couldn’t help laughing and flicking the letter. "It’s a good thing to watch the king."
Yang Gongren was stunned. "Good news?"
Chapter 33 Strange behavior
After Sui Jun arrived at Tiger Prison, he didn’t rush to attack tens of thousands of troops. Every day, he went out to cut down trees. In just a few days, the land and forest in the east of Tiger Prison were almost cut down. Except for some siege equipment, the head of the remaining wood in Sui Jun was cut into pieces and put outside the camp to dry.
Sui Jun didn’t rush to attack, which made Wang Renze very puzzled. Because Sui Jun obviously couldn’t have come to Tiger Prison to play, it seemed calm. Maybe there was some conspiracy. Wang Renze guessed that Sui Jun dug a deep pit outside Tiger Prison.
Don’t say that Wang Renze is very puzzled, even though he was ordered to hire Pei Hangyan in Qiuhang, but Yang You didn’t explain it carefully. He ordered two men to find a place with low terrain and more soil outside the tiger prison. Thousands of soldiers were digging deep pits outside the tiger prison, and three miles away, holding hoes, struggled to dig the wall. Wang Renze had a panoramic view of the outside situation. Is it that Sui Jun is trying to dig tunnels?
Want to attack the tiger prison with a mere tunnel? Wang Renze thinks it’s ridiculous that the tiger prison is backed by Songshan Mountain, and the terrain is steep and the ground is mostly rocks, which means it’s almost impossible to dig a tunnel leading to it.
"Dig and dig for you to dig!" Wang Renze’s face was full of scorn, and his heart was full of disdain. If the Sui army could break the tiger prison in this way, he would write the word "Wang" upside down.
The generals around Wang Renze, such as Guo Shancai and Wang Shilong, are also full of disdain to hear Wang Renze’s words. Guo Shancai laughed and pointed to the heretics. "It is said that Sui Diying and Sui Jun are brave, but now it seems that they are all idiots."
Wang Shilong also laughed. "Being famous is not as good as meeting famous people in the world. It seems that it is mostly a mistake for the world to be ignorant. It is ridiculous for a mediocre person to be boasted. It is said that Luoyang people of Sui Dynasty said that he has three heads and six arms. Is it a demon?"
"Ha ha!" "As Wang Shilong laughed, all the generals laughed. Only Dai Zhou frowned and said," Sui Jun, the king of the Tang Dynasty, acted strangely. I’m afraid there is some conspiracy to send troops to attack and drive them away? "
Wang Renze sneer at a finger five or six miles away. "General Dai, are you confused? Look at the smoke and dust there. Obviously, there is an ambush in Sui Jun. If you send troops to attack alone, you will be tricked by Sui Jun! "
Guo Shancai, Wang Shilong, etc. will gaze intently. Sure enough, there are military flags in the rolling hills and dusty places outside the city. Obviously, thousands of Sui Jun people can’t help but gasp.
"Tang Wangying saw through Sui Jun’s trick!" Shi-long wang don’t look a compliment.
Guo Shancai also unwilling to lag behind the arch hand way "Yang You carving skills before the king of Tang where is worth a? Sui Jun, the king of the Tang Dynasty, must have failed! Once Sui Jun retreats from the Tang King, he can send troops to recover Xingyang’s strategy of Shandong! "
"Repel Sui Jun and capture Shandong!" More than the generals will drink in succession, and several people will pull out the horizontal knife and drink a way.
Dai Zhou shook his head and pulled out the horizontal knife and followed the crowd. At this time, if he doesn’t say anything, everyone will be different and maverick, which will obviously cause Wang Renze to suspect that Wang Renze glanced at everyone’s face and Sui Jun wanted to dig tunnels with pride. Just let them dig.
Wang Ren laughed two times. "This group of Sui Jun doesn’t look very hard!"
Guo Shancai’s eyes turned and said, "Why don’t the king of Tang make a few actors Chengtou blow a few songs to entertain the Sui people? ！”
"Good idea!" Wang Renze smoothed her beard and couldn’t help laughing. Guo Shancai was very interested in him. "Guo Jiangjun, I’ll leave it to you."
Guo Shancai nodded and said, "I will do this properly if I obey your orders!"
Wang Renze looked back again and stepped away from the city wall. Wang Shilong and Guo Shancai followed suit behind him. Dai Yi squinted at the heart outside the city and sighed. What do you think? Delay in attacking the city? Dai Zhou did not dare to stay for a long time, but also went to the city wall and went to the government office. Wang Renze confessed some things to the generals and Dai Zhou returned to the mansion.
These days, Liu Rengui has been staying in Dai’s mansion. He is afraid that others will see him and know that his identity is broken. When he sees Dai’s return, he hurriedly asks, "Is there any good news for General Dai?"
Dai Zhou shook his head and said, "With all due respect, I still can’t figure it out. What do you think? Why doesn’t the soldiers attack the city now?"
Liu Rengui said, "I think the tiger prison is strong, so there is no hurry to attack the city. He must be waiting for news from the general."
"Wang Renze is extremely cautious and guarded by his confidants. Although I have hundreds of confidants, it is difficult to hit the city gate." Dai Zhou is telling the truth. The gate of Tiger Prison is an iron gate weighing 1,000 kilograms. It is not easy to hit the city gate, and Wang Renze has already recovered Dai Zhou and his soldiers. It is difficult to cooperate with Yang You to enter the city.
Come to Dai Zhou to think that Yang You will attack the city on a large scale. If that is the case, at the right time, he will send troops to make trouble inside and outside, and he will definitely break through the tiger prison. However, Yang You’s delay in moving troops makes Dai Zhou unable to guess Yang You’s meaning.
"Brother Liu, you’d better try to get in touch with you so that I can cooperate with you!" Dai Wei said
Liu Rengui nodded and said, "I must find a way."
The next day, Sui Jun still dug up the height of Yang You and stared at the Tiger Prison Chengtou in the distance.
"It really is Tianxiong!" Yang You carefully looked at the half ring, raised his whip and pointed to the tiger prison ahead.
"With the tiger prison, Luoyang has a barrier. If the tiger prison is lost, Luoyang will be dangerous." Du Ruhui smoothed her beard and said.
"I intend to make Luoyang its capital, and it is necessary to defend Luoyang with these places." Yang You mused that Chang ‘an is superior to Luoyang in terms of geographical advantages, but it is difficult to supply food in China. More than a decade ago, Emperor Wen led troops to Luoyang to eat, and although the nominal capital of the Tang Dynasty was Chang ‘an, there were still quite a few times when the monarch lived in Luoyang. It was because Luoyang was close to the canal that it could transport food from Jiangnan and Huaibei to meet the needs of the military and civilians.
Especially after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, there were many buffer regions that did not obey the orders of the central government. The Tang Dynasty was able to survive only because the grain of Bashu and Jianghuai gradually lost, and it was not far away to destroy the country.
Yang You’s consideration is the convenience of grain transportation. However, the center of gravity of a country cannot be defended, and the tiger prison and Luoyang make up for the situation of Luoyang being defended to a certain extent, while the history of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty was captured by the Jin people, which made Yang You remember clearly. Yang You will not make mistakes in this regard.
"I am not white. Since the army is under siege and Dai Zhou has chosen to surrender, why not attack the city?" Hou Jun asked him that he was wearing armor, carrying a horizontal knife on his waist and carrying a four-stone hard bow, which made Hou Jun feel very happy.
"It’s not easy to attack the tiger prison. I want to maximize the morale of the defenders in the tiger prison. Once Zheng Jun’s morale is low, I will attack the tiger prison and if I take the tiger prison, I will take the revolving door at the first time!" Yang You said slowly that if these two passes are taken to Sui Jun, they can March straight into the city.
"But what’s the point of digging a deep pit?" Hou Jun is puzzled, but he knows that he must have his own ideas when he does things.
"Don’t worry, we’ll know in a few days." Yang You smiled
At this time, I saw that Tiger Prison City was crowded. Yang You took out the telescope and looked at it carefully and smiled.
Wang Renze took a group of performers and put on drums, bells, suona and other musical instruments. Dozens of performers looked at Wang Renze with their musical instruments in their hands, wondering what the prince was going to do.
"Give the lonely enough strength to blow as hard as possible. If you make the lonely happy, you will be rewarded!" Wang Renze laughed.
Dozens of actresses looked at each other and were even more puzzled. At this moment, a drummer waved his arm and pounded the drum hard. Soon, Yu Lingren also started to ring the bell, ring the bell and blow the suona. At that time, there was a lot of noise in Chengtou, and Chengtou Zheng Bing covered his ears. This is not music. This is fatal!
The musicians are blowing the rhythm at random, but Wang Renze is laughing. It seems that this is the sound of nature. Soon, Chengtou is restless and Pei Hangyan, who will be hired by Qiu Hang, frowned and said, "What is Wang Renze doing? Is it crazy?"
QiuHangGong is narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at ChengTou way "Wang Renze is quite kind to see me here to dig a deep pit to chat, so send a performer to entertain"
Pei Hangyan sneered, "Wang Ren is so carefree that he will look good sooner or later!"
"Hey hey, at most, the tiger prison will change hands on the 10th." QiuHangGong laughed.
"General Qiu, what do you mean?" Peihang Yanyan unknowingly strange asked
Qiu Hangguan smiled two times. He had guessed something, but he was not sure. He didn’t say that there was a reason for it. Qiu Hanggong coughed, "Old Qiu, I want to do this. There is a reason for it!" Then he looked up and looked at the heaven. "The west wind is getting sharper and sharper, and it will snow soon."
Then a soldier suddenly shouted, "Ah, it’s leaking!" Pei Xingyan leaned over and saw that it turned out to be a broken spring. The spring water suddenly rushed out and risked the water. In the future, all the soldiers were wet, and everyone avoided the spring water from the ground. Soon, the deep pit was filled with more than a foot. "Don’t be afraid to continue digging to lead the spring water there!" Qiu Hanggong said that Sui Jun continued to dig and lead the water to a lower-lying place. The spring water ran happily along the gully, and soon the spring water in the deep pit was gradually exhausted. Sui Jun jumped into the deep pit and continued to dig. This time, with the spring water to moisten the soil, it was easier to dig and the progress was faster. On this day, the Sui army led the spring water twice and dug the deep pit more than three feet deep.
Chapter 34 Save my life
In a blink of an eye, the weather is getting colder and colder in the past few days. The soldiers are all wearing thick clothes, and the army is mostly wearing leather armor. Sui Jun is still struggling to dig Yang You’s troops to patrol and check the progress every day. At this time, the deep pit has been dug more than ten feet deep, and the more rocks there are, the more difficult it is to dig, and the spring water is gradually decreasing with the deepening of excavation. On the last day, the spring water almost did not gush.
Yang You was quite satisfied with the result. He knew that the time was coming to capture the tiger prison. He immediately summoned Huang Yun and asked him to try to inform Liu Rengui and Dai Zhou to prepare for the event.
At this time, the city was in chaos as expected by Yang You. Wang Renze got up early in the morning and Qinbing told him that there was no water in the well, which surprised Wang Renze. Although it is winter now, he has been in Tiger Prison for a long time, but there is no shortage of water. Why is it this year?
Perhaps one or two wells were short of water. Wang Renze thought about immediately ordering Qinbing to look around. Soon it came to the news that the water level of all wells in Tiger Prison suddenly dropped to a dry well. At this time, the military and civilians in the city were clamoring for people to eat and drink more. How can we not let the military and civilians in Tiger Prison panic?
Wang Renze wondered how there was no water suddenly last night. Suddenly, it occurred to him that the lack of water was caused by them. Wang Renze hasn’t figured out a way. Zheng Jiang, such as Guo Shancai and Wang Shilong, will come one after another.
Everyone shouted at Wang Renze and said, "It’s a big thing that the king of Tang suddenly lacked water."
Wang Renze glanced at the man and thought, Do you need to wake up? But Wang Renze didn’t say that he frowned and thought, "There is no water in the well all of a sudden. This thing is really strange. We must find a way to investigate and understand what is going on, but there is one thing to do besides investigating clearly and really."
Dai Zhou nodded silently. At this time, he had got the news and knew what was going on.
"Water shortage is a fact. Now, to stabilize the morale of the army, we need to find a way to get water. Sui Jun has been stationed in the east and can go to Xixuanmen to get water." Wang Renze said that there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Tiger Prison and their families. In addition, there are some business people. It is not a packet that adds up to about 30,000 people who need water.
Guo Shancai and Wang Shilong nodding obviously agree with Wang Renze’s statement.
