Chapter 84 Bad luck

The power of human beings cannot be underestimated, especially the Qin State, which ruled half of the world's population, and Qin State also united Wei State and Han State. More than 300,000 soldiers on the front line braved arrows and shells on the city, and quickly advanced Changlei City, 300 steps away from the night to 150 steps, and the rear was fully expropriated from the white dragon water trucks of farmers in the Three Kingdoms.

The White Dragon Water Truck has been invented for nearly two years. The Han, Wei and Qin Kingdom, which are dedicated to intensive cultivation, purchased from the Chu Kingdom and imitated tens of thousands of them. Before Wei Liao arrived at the front line, the order for the collection was issued, and thousands of water trucks were transported to the front line every day, so that the East Lake was too narrow and there was no place to place the water trucks. At this time, the East Lake no longer mattered. The Qin and Wei soldiers dug another large canal connecting the Great Valley, and the water was directly drawn from the Great Valley. Tens of thousands of water trucks were not stopped day and night, and in just ten days, there was a vast ocean under the city of Beicheng.

Although the secret door was blocked, water still seeped in from the slit. Seeing this, the military strategists simply opened some secret doors, dug ditches in the city, and finally led the water into the low-lying East Lake. What the Chu army could think of, Wei Liao could naturally think of - Guigu hidden classics of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and there was a complete set of ways to immerse the city. Before the diversion ditches were dug in the city, the Qin army built a fortress in the shallow water of the East Lake.

The water in the East Lake is already shallow at this time, and the water in the lake is even shallower when it draws water to the North City. After more than ten days of water, the Qin army transferred 10,000 white dragon water trucks to the East Lake and pumped the water from the East Lake into the gulf. In the end, the huge East Lake only had water in the middle, and the mudflats were exposed near the city wall. After that, the Qin army easily built high towers with silt.

The water was not achieved. The Qin and Wei armies outside the city took turns to dig walls at night. Although the rolling wood and stones were smashed on the city, the soldiers were not afraid of death. The sound of digging walls under the wall at night made the sound of water splashes in the city scary, and more and more people began to whisper when the city wall would collapse. After Sima Chen Bu discovered it, he immediately evacuated most of the county soldiers from the city to prevent them from vigilating at night. However, the more they could not see, the easier it was to think about it. The soldiers in the city actually secretly rumored that a certain section of the city wall had collapsed.

The more critical the more you are, the more calm you have to be. This is Lian Po’s teaching to Xiong Jing. However, Lian Po, who was guilty, patrols the city one day and fainted when he saw a vast ocean under the city. The news that the general was seriously ill made the soldiers panic. Fortunately, Xiong Jing is still there, and Chen Ying’s backbone is still there. Whenever he sees Xiong Jing inspecting, the soldiers’ eyes are even more eager.

"There are still no lights outside the city to respond?" Chen Ying was sleeping. Xiong Jing asked the generals after the inspection. At this time, he no longer wore the blood-red Wei Ben suit, but was wearing a shiny iron armor. He was much stronger and stronger than two years ago.

"Reported to the king, there was no response outside the city." Feixun Officer was very young, and most of them were literate children of the public clan. "I think..."

Feixun Officer wanted to speak but stopped. Xiong Jing glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think the Qin cavalry has already covered the city forty miles, so there is no news that the soldiers can see the messages sent on the city." The Feixun Officer replied. This was his speculation, but he did not see any reply outside the city for half a month. This is the only situation.

"I am willing to break through the siege and send a message to Yingdu." The cavalry generals Gui Jing and Xiang Zhi looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"I would like to tell the king that I am willing to take a boat to report to Yingdu." The general of the Zhoushi, Honghun, was not willing to fall behind. He felt that the Zhoushi was closer to the Honggu. As long as the boat entered the Honggu, the information in the city could be transmitted to Yingdu.

"How to sue Yingdu?" Xiong Jing did not look at Gui Jing and Xiang Zhi, but only looked at the red wall.

"It's okay to take the night away." Hong Chuan replied. "The East City Gate is only four or five miles away from the Gang of Gang, and there is still lake water two miles away. The lake connects to the Gang of Gang, and the water is shallow. As long as you enter the lake, you can try to move through the Gang of Gang. Once you reach the Gang of Gang, you can go down the water."

"I will lift the bolt into the lake, can I lift it?" Xiong Jing was surprised. There was no water around Chen Ying, and there was only a lake after a high tower two miles away.

"That's right." Hong Chuan replied. "If you are so sudden, you can build a single-wood boat in the city..."

"Report to the king, the knight can go out of the city to send a message." Hong Shu said more and more unreliable, so Gui Jing took the opportunity to say again. "After leaving the city, he went straight south to cross the river and entered Xiang. There is a Feixun Station in Xiangcheng, which can be sent to Yingdu."

"No!" Xiong Jing refused without thinking. Although the knight's stirrup was covered by stirrup pants, anyone who died in battle would reveal the secret of stirrups. In addition, there are horseshoes, which are very inconspicuous things, but they can make the war horses more gripped and protect the not-hard horses' hooves.

"I would like to take off my breeches and go out of the city to seek help." Gui Jing knew what Xiong Jing was worried about, which is also the reason why there are only more than a thousand cavalrymen.

"No!" Xiong Jing still shook his head. The knight was precious, and there were all the children of the princes who could ride horses.

"I am not afraid of death. I am involved in the affairs of the king. Please be sure to accept the safety of Chen Ying." Gui Jing and Xiang Zhi said that, he bowed and bowed, but he couldn't get up for a long time.

"King..." Chen Bu said, "There are too many secret doors in the North City, and water has been seeped everywhere. I am afraid that the wall of the Banyue City will collapse."

"If the outer city is lost, there will be a royal city. If the royal city is lost, there will be a sword in hand." Xiong Jing was not afraid, but instead felt a little excited.

"King, the royal city is too small. And the outer city can be invincible, and the royal city can also be invincible." Yang Wei bowed.

"So what about baiting? There is no secret door in the royal city." Xiong Jing retorted. "It was already February, and it was only two months until April. The royal city was full of soldiers and armor and sufficient food. Can't I guard it for two months?"

"So what if you stay until April?" Yang Wei and others did not know the plan to attack Ao Cang. "If the food in the city is gone in May, the city will be destroyed."

"There is no need to wait until May. After the farming in April, the army will gather in Chen Ying, and the Qin army can be counterattacked by the beginning of May at the latest." Xiong Jing had to give everyone a hope. "Why are you afraid of death? Heaven is always alive, and if you don't survive for Yao or die for Jie, why bother people?"

"..." Xiong Jing said the sentence from Xunzi Tianming, Yang Wei and others were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

"The boat master quickly builds a canoe and leaves the city at night. Just tell the capital of Ying. The rest of the plans need not be changed." Xiong Jing finally chose the canoe. After saying that, he got up and wanted to retreat to the hall. Then, a shrill command suddenly came from outside the bedroom: The Northeast Gate City was trapped.

"Ah--!" In the warm carriage, Mi Xuan, who was asleep, suddenly curled up and let out a long sigh. It was midnight, and the convoy returning to the country that was not staying at the station was parked in the open space next to the road. She screamed in such a scream and woke up the maids such as Cui Xiu, Xiu Zhu and others.

"Girl, girl..." Cui Xiu and others shouted, shaking for a while before awakening Mi Xuan in the chaotic words. Mi Xuan woke up first and saw that she was on the carriage again, tears flowed down without warning.

"Did the girl dream of the king?" Cui Xiu was old and most caring. She knew that besides her parents, Empress Dowager Zu and Dafa, the only one who could make Mi Xuan cry was the only one who could make Mi Xuan cry. Mi Xuan suddenly screamed in her sleep, thinking that it was a nightmare.

"Yeah." Mi Xuan wiped his tears. "I dreamed that the king married a daughter of Qi, and sent me home before he could report to the temple. Woo woo..." She started crying.

"Prince, the female princess is wrong. If the king loves you, how could he send the female princess home?" Cui Xiu was not called this name, but Mi Xuan was very fond of the song "The Beauty", so he changed the name of the maid next to him.

"That's right." Caibo, the most optimistic, also smiled. "The king loved his daughter, the young man, and he loved him so much when he was young. He would definitely be deeply in love with him and no one could get rid of him. The girl of Qi heard that she was only four years old and was born beautiful when she was young. She would definitely be extremely ugly when she was big. She was like me, and she was also born beautiful when she was young. Now she is in the city of Xianyang and has never looked back at me."

"Haha..." The maids laughed endlessly. Caibo has a round face. He looks a bit beautiful when he looks closely. However, his face grows wide, his face looks very uncoordinated. His eyebrows are thick, and if his face is black, he looks like a man at first glance.

"You guys know how to coax me." Mi Xuan was still crying. When she heard Caibo say "No man turned around and looked at me," she laughed. She cried and laughed, unable to tell whether she was happy or sad.

"Dare you ask what the girl Ying is doing? Doctor Qu sends a little minister to ask." The voice of the temple man came outside the car. Mi Xuan exclaimed in the middle of the night. Then the lights lit up in the carriage. The temple man patrolling the night came to check. In the crossfire of the convoy, Mi Xuan was not called Mi Xuan, but Mi Ying.

"No, nothing happened." Mi Xuan answered hesitantly, "It's just a word in a dream."

"If you have nothing to do, please ask the young lady Ying to rest. Today, I need to have food at night." The temple told me carefully. When people said that they had food, their stomachs were roaring. That day, after buying a large amount of corn and straw roar in Chang'an City, other counties along the way could no longer buy a large amount of corn and straw roar. All the grain and fodder in Qin State were in power. Xianyang ordered that even if you had money, you could not buy corn.

The convoy can only eat in the wine shops and restaurants in the county and towns along the road, or buy a large amount of taro and beans from private merchants in the market. Taro and beans are the food of the poor when they are not green and yellow, and are not under the control of the government. Besides, Xianyang does not want to starve people to death, but only delay the itinerary of the convoy. There are many ways to delay, and not selling grain and fodder is just one of them. The real bitterness is the pulling horses that pull the cart, and they can only eat grass without straw. There is plenty of snow on the grass. Even if the temple people shovel the snow, they often have diarrhea and some even die of illness.

After the temple informed him, Mi Xuan and others turned off the lights and went to bed again. When he returned to the carriage where Qu Sui was, Qu Sui had already stood up.

"What's the matter?" Qu Sui wore a Chu crown on his head, a mysterious dress and a mysterious dress. Under the dim lights, his face was gray and his eyes were still bright.

"It's the words of the young lady in the dream." The temple man bowed and said, and he looked at the rogue again, which was not as bright as before. The moon in Qu's evening was eight hours in the sun, and eight hours in the night, and more than two hours before dawn.

"The Word in a Dream?" Qu Sui raised his eyebrows. Of course he knew who Mi Ying was. If he didn't know, how could Mi Xuan get in the convoy and return to China with him? Not only did he know Mi Xuan's identity, but he also knew that Mi Xuan and the king had a private lifelong life. It was Zhou Li that the same surname did not marry, but Chu did not completely perform Zhou Li before King Zhuang of Chu. It was not uncommon for royal family offices to marry women of the same surname.
