Chapter 3* Preparation
Chapter 3* (Monthly tickets for Xie Laohuaxiong, Ye Shuo, Huaisha 15, Light Deep Blue SE and other brothers.)
With the narration of the old father-in-law, the fog in his heart was finally lifted, and at the same time, he secretly smacked about the danger of this trick.
It turned out that this uncle Niu's father-in-law was an old mason in the left of Guzhou. His son inherited his father's career as a mason. Originally, the family lived a peaceful and stable life by relying on his craftsmanship. Unexpectedly, the thief soldiers went south and attacked in chaos. Overnight, the family suddenly changed.
When the city of Gozhou was destroyed, his son failed to escape from the city and was pulled by the thief. The father-in-law fled in time with his little grandson, and his daughter-in-law was also in the city with her son, and now they don't know whether to live or die. When the army arrived south, the two masters and grandchildren had been hiding in the mountain for more than 20 days. The thief soldiers shrank into the city to guard, and the old stonemason dared to sneak home to get some clothes.
Because the weather was getting cold, the old stonemason felt sorry for his grandson, so he ventured to hide at home for a few days. Unexpectedly, he was found by the horse team wandering by Song Nan and Zhang Yong. After Song Nan's relief and explanation, the old mason dispelled his concerns and told him a secret along the wall of the Sishui River.
However, wherever the city is near the lake or river, it will attract lake water or river water into the city, which has almost become the practice of urban construction. Living water into the city can not only open up lakes and gardens in the city to meet the needs of rich people, but also meet the daily water needs of water, such as Zhuozhou, even if A fool will also think of using him.
But after all, Zhuozhou is a strong city. Since the city defense is strong, it cannot destroy the pattern of the whole city defense at the time of water diversion, so the government made great efforts to summon the masons of Zhuozhou to carve a dark river leading to Sishui at the bottom of the city wall of the East Gate. In this way, the river enters the city from under the city wall and enters the city, which not only destroys the overall pattern of city defense, but also can be used to divert river water, which is the best solution of both sides.
When the old mason was young, he was one of the masons who opened the dark canal under the city. This dark canal was Song Nan's most expected passage into the city. Once the soldiers and horses could sneak into the river from the dark road, the role will be decisive. With internal and external attack, the city of Nonzhou will be easily broken.
The generals are intoxicated. There is a secret road that can enter the city. Is it still a big deal to attack the city? This is much better than bare arms. The governor is determined to ask the father-in-law to point out where the dark canal is located.
Everyone urged his father-in-law repeatedly to point out where the dark canal was. As soon as the father-in-law opened his mouth, he poured a ladle of cold water on everyone.
"Military gentlemen, although the old man participated in chiseling the dark canal, that was decades ago. The old man really doesn't know the exact location. He is useless when he is old. I'm afraid he has to look along the river to remember it. In addition, the dark canal is found at the bottom of the Sishui River. How can the soldiers enter? There is also an iron fence on both sides of the dark canal that filters branches and leaves. It sneaks into the city from the river for more than 40 feet. Who can hold his breath for so long? The old man said it in his head. If he can't help, the military men don't blame the old man.
Everyone looked at Song Nan silently, but Song Nan didn't care: "It's okay. My father-in-law only remembers where the dark canal is located. How to enter the city is our business. I promise you that once you enter the city, you will find your son and daughter-in-law for you, help Xiao Huer find his parents, and reunite your family. Moreover, after capturing Gongzhou, your father-in-law is a meritorious official. I will ask the emperor to reward you with fields and silver so that you can live a good life.
The father-in-law shook his head and said, "There is no need for field and silver. I just want to live a peaceful life with my family. That's all. Let's go outside the East Gate."
Song Nan smiled and said, "I'm tired, but not now. We can't get close. The city is a thief shooting arrows. Well, let's go again in the evening. Today is the 19th. There will be a moon in the middle of the night. We should be able to see clearly."
The old mason nodded and said, "Well, this old bone will be handed over to you."
Song Nan said, "Don't worry, we will protect your safety and be fine."
After the old mason retreated with his grandson, Song Nan looked at the generals with a smile and said, "Well, if we find out where the dark canal is, who dares to lead the team into the city? Peng Zhong, do you dare?"
Peng Zhong shook his head and said, "The last general will not go."
Hou Dabiao laughed and said, "Just now, the cowhide blew loudly, but now he has become a coward. What's the ability to be fierce on his mouth?"
Peng Zhong blushed and said, "Who is a coward is your grandson, I just... just..."
Wang Yong said, "Just what? "The coward."
Peng Zhong said angrily, "I am a scaler. When I get into the water, I sink. How can I dive into the city? It's enough for me to go. At worst, I'll just drown.
Everyone laughed. It turned out that this guy was afraid of water. No wonder he was twisted like a little girl.
"Laughing, are you all white strips in the waves? Who can dive into the 40-foot canal? Which of you dares to brag."
The generals lost their smile and scratched their heads and thought about it. This matter is really difficult. There are many people who know water, but it's terrible to think about the dark canal that can be closed and dive through dozens of feet. Once you can't hold it in the middle, there is a wall rock. There is no way out in front and no circuit in the back, and you still drown in the dark canal. You can't think about it. The more you think about it, the more afraid you are. .
Song Nan smiled and said, "None of you need to go. I'll go to the city in person."
"Brother Nan, and me." Li Daniel straightened his chest.
Song Nan nodded and said, "Of course, you are indispensable. I admire your water quality."
Wang Yong hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you can't go. No matter how good the water-like people are, they can't sneak into 40 feet away. Brother Niu, don't follow them immediately. Your water-control is good. Then tell me how far can you sneak in one breath?"
Li Daniu thought for a moment and said the truth, "Seven or eight feet, it's amazing."
Wang Yong clapped his hands and said, "Ah, is the adult's watery better than you? That's not possible. I firmly disagree with this matter.
Everyone withered like a discouraged ball. It seems that they have been busy for a long time, but this method still doesn't work. However, looking at the general governor who was not hit, the generals were suspicious and wanted to ask for details. The governor had ordered the withdrawal of the account.
The generals who were discussing came out of their big accounts and returned to the camp. After a while, they heard the shouts in front of the camp. They didn't know what had happened, so they rushed to the front of the camp to watch.
But when he saw hundreds of soldiers lined up, with a piece of paper full of words in his hand, he shouted at the head of the city in unison: "Listenlisters in the city! The Ming Emperor issued a decree to abolish the law of sitting in Shiwulian, and all thieves will be forgiven for their crimes. The leaders of the thieves in the city, but those who have no great evil will be pardoned, and only those who are not involved in the first evil will be punished. Anyone who is captured and killed by the stubborn anti-thief leader will be rewarded for his achievements and awarded him official positions. Those who lead the thief to surrender can be regarded as recruitment. From now on, the wounded officers and soldiers will be regarded as anti-thieves and will never be tolerated..."
Lu Wanxuan's selection were all loud soldiers. More than 100 people shouted together, and the momentum was shocking. The defenders at the top of the city began to listen slowly, and then they actually whispered to each other. The leaders panicked and cursed repeatedly. They were not allowed to listen to these demagogic words, but how could they stop the spread of the sound? He ordered to shoot arrows, but it didn't work because the other party stood under the city.
A thief soldier was immediately cut to death by the leader and pushed down the city because his eyes were wrong, causing a riot in the city.
The sound of shouting came to their ears, which set off a huge storm in the hearts of the thief soldiers. Although these people threatened to kill or hurt people many times, and could not turn back because of the method of sitting, after all, they were only ordinary people who deeply regretted their behavior. Listening to the shouts of the officers and soldiers in the city, their hearts could not help but move, just taken by the head of the thief soldiers* *Wei, no one dared to take the lead, so he didn't dare to really act, but unconsciously, seeds had been planted in his heart.
Soon after, the officers and soldiers set up cannons under the city. When the thieves in the city thought that the siege of the officers and soldiers was about to begin, there were more than a dozen explosions of the sky and the earth, but the cannons of the officers and soldiers fired cannons, and none of them shot at the city head.
The thief soldiers and the people in the city were surprised when they suddenly saw cannonballs blowing in the sky, and then fell thousands of pieces of paper, falling in the streets and alleys, and in the crowd who were forced to participate in the defense of the city.
Someone picked it up and looked at the words on it, which said: When the city was broken, those who assisted the officers and soldiers to kill the enemy were not to blame for their past, and those who assisted the thief would not be forgiven. The signature is Song Nan, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the brave crown marquis.
No matter how fiercely the thief soldiers scold and beat them, the news on the paper quickly spread in the city. Some people doubted that they did not doubt the promises on paper, but whether the officers and soldiers could break through the city. Once the officers and soldiers broke through the city, without these papers, the people would not Hesitantly threw himself on the side of the officers and soldiers.
They have had enough of these fierce thieves. They are 100 times more ferocious than the officers and soldiers. It turned out that some people cheered for these rebellious thieves. When their cities and homes were captured by the thieves, they knew how ignorant and ridiculous they used to be. This is not a general savior for heaven. It's a group of evil demons.
