147. Mound Hill
After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will order people to scoop the soil and pile up the mountain!"
"Be slow in the main attack! The matter of squeaking the soil must be kept confidential! In addition, the piles of mountains need to be carried out at night, and cavalry must also be arranged to protect the surrounding areas to prevent troops from being destroyed in the city!" Han Fei added.
Liu Bei nodded and agreed, summoned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and asked Guan Yu to send someone to dig the ground and collect soil in the back camp. Then he ordered Zhang Fei to take people to collect huge stones, which had been used by the catapult cart.
After dispatching the mission, everyone started to act together, but Han Fei did not participate. He stayed up all night last night, and now he was sleepy. Han Fei just wanted to return to the tent and have a good sleep.
When Han Fei woke up, he had already used the lights. When Chen Dao saw him get up, he hurriedly brought the supper over. "Uncle Zhi, have you all eaten?" Han Fei asked while eating.
"Master, we have all eaten!" Chen Dao replied truthfully.
"That uncle, don't call me lord anymore, just call me my name or word "天子!" Han Fei said to Chen Dao.
"This is not good! Otherwise, I'll call you master!"
"Puff!" Han Fei sprayed out the porridge that had just been drunk in his mouth, "Cough cough! Uncle, you did it on purpose! Forget it, you can call me young master in the future! You don't have to say anything, this matter is settled!"
"Not a young master, I want to say that you have sprinkled your porridge!"
Han Fei:...
After dinner, Han Fei took Chen Dao and Sun Wu to Liu Bei's tent. As a result, the personal guards who guarded the tent told Han Fei that Liu Bei was not in the tent, but went to the back camp.
So Han Fei turned around and rushed to the back camp. When he arrived, he saw that it was amazing. There were busy scenes everywhere in the back camp. The surrounding light balls and torches shone here so much like the daytime. Han Fei saw Liu Bei in the crowd, so he rushed over quickly. "Lord, how is it here?"
"After a while, a lot of soil was dug out, but it is really hard to say how high the mountain can be piled up now!" Liu Bei replied.
Han Fei thought for a while and said, "The place above the Tushan Mountain should not be too small. At least three catapults must be placed, and there must be archers shooting arrows on it! But we may not have to pile up the Tushan Mountain tonight. As long as we keep it under the watch, it will take a few days to take you."
After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "I will arrange for my third brother to be responsible for protecting the Tushan Mountains. If someone comes out of the city, he will be responsible for intercepting it!"
"It's so best, when will the lord start working on the mountain?"
"Starting midnight tonight, now I have asked the soldiers to load the soil on the carriage and drive it directly to the carriage later! This will save a lot of time!" Liu Bei continued.
"The lord is still thoughtful, so I'll go back and wait for it later!"
"Don't! Zicong, you're here. Go there and direct them to dig the soil. Look, don't dig too deep!"
"Uh! Okay!" Han Fei was caught reluctantly and came to command the people here to break the soil. Coincidentally, these people were the ones they saw last night.
Han Fei came over and said to the sergeant: "How is it? How much soil has been dug?
"June, army, military advisor?" the sergeant said in shock.
"Yes, I'm here to supervise your work!" Han Fei said with a smile at the person in front of him.
After hearing Han Fei's words, the sergeant smiled and said, "Hehe, we are all very happy to be able to work with the military advisor. Please rest assured that we can complete the task!"
"You are great, you are all great! Don't worry, I will bring you all home safely!" Han Fei promised.
The process of squeezing the soil was very fast, and it was almost midnight. The soldiers loaded all the soil into the car, and then took advantage of the late night and the crowds left the city and headed straight for the city of Shouchun.
The Tutu Mountain naturally cannot be too close to the city. So according to Han Fei's request, he piled the Tutu Mountain at a distance of ten meters from the moat. This is also Han Fei's cleverness. As the Tutu Mountain becomes higher and higher, his area naturally expands. At that time, the moat will probably be filled with a road by this Tutu Mountain. Of course, it will not be possible tonight tonight.
Moreover, there is not so much soil in the back camp. Today, it is just to keep it secret, so I have to stick out the soil in the camp. Tomorrow, I can go to the nearby mountains to dig soil and stones to serve as fillings!
Less gossip, there were constant people that night. At dawn, Tushan was about three meters high, and the area of Tushan was huge, and there were thousands of people standing on the top of the mountain.
As the sky shone brightly, there was a burst of exclamation on the head of Shouchun City. A soldier hurried to report to Qiao Rui that Qiao Rui had won the first battle yesterday and was very proud. After receiving the report, he was shocked. He didn't bother to wear armor and came to the head of the city. When he looked down, he found that a mountain of earth had risen on the other side of the moat, which was obviously three meters high.
He immediately felt something was wrong when he saw Tushan. Could it be that Liu Bei's army wanted to use the siege equipment and directly smash the huge rock at the top of the city? What should I do? No, I have to report to the lord quickly. It would be better to send someone to destroy the Tushan!
Thinking of this, Qiao Rui turned around and headed straight for the palace. Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao were already at the city, Yuan Shu in the palace did not feel any danger. The reason was very simple. The Shouchun City was built by him for a lot of money. The walls on all sides were six or two feet high, and the city walls were all made of large bluestone, and there was a layer inside and outside.
Not only that, there are all defensive equipment in the city, but there are one million sharp arrows alone! There are also a lot of other rolling wood and turmeric oil in stock. In addition, there are the army, there are 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry in Shouchun City! These are all elite soldiers under Yuan Shu, and they are also his greatest reliance!
Then there was grain. Yuan Shu dug two underground palaces when he was building Shouchun City, one was under his current imperial palace and the other was in the granary in the south of the city! At this moment, the underground palace under the granary was filled with grain, which was enough for the entire journey of the military and civilians!
With these preparations, Yuan Shu was not afraid of Cao Liu's attack. He even had no confidence in leaving Qiao Rui and Ji Ling to deal with it without even being at the top of the city.
However, when Yuan Shu saw Qiao Rui's anxious expression this morning, his heart was shocked for no reason! "Is it possible that Liu Bei's army is going to invade?"
"Love Qiao, what did you think you came to see me in a hurry early this morning?" Yuan Shu asked while sitting in the hall.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Just last night, Liu Bei's army built a dirt mountain outside the city. If he was asked to pile the dirt mountain, there would be no danger in the east gate to guard!"
"There is still this matter!? What should I do with Yi Aiqing?" Yuan Shu was stunned and asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the present plan, you can only break out of the city, destroy his plan, and completely flatten the piled earth mountain to ensure that the east gate is worry-free!" Qiao Rui offered his plan.
After hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded and immediately ordered: "Go away, General Qing and Lord Sikong!"
