Chapter 316 The straw bag also has inspiration
Another three days passed, and everything inside and outside Xiangyang City was completely calm. There were almost no major movements inside and outside the city, and it was completely peaceful.
Because of the siege by the Beifu soldiers, Fu Rui ordered the people of Xiangyang City not to enter or leave at will. Correspondingly, various businesses in the city also suffered a lot.
However, fortunately, the daily life of the villagers has not been greatly affected and they can live smoothly.
There is no shortage of food, drinking water, even vegetables, fruits, fresh fish and shrimp.
Within the scope of Xiangyang City, there are all mountains, forests, waters, and even rice fields, and the products are rich. This is also an important reason for Fu Rui to implement the strategy of not leaving the city.
Even if the city gates are closed for half a year, the residents of Xiangyang City can still be self-sufficient.
Looking east from the Xiangyang City Tower, in a lower grass valley, a group of Di Qin soldiers had been lying in wait here for many days.
This place is called Xiaozha. Nowadays, there is no military equipment, only wild grass and vines remain.
In order to send this small group of troops out of Xiangyang City, General Fu Rui also put a lot of thought into it.
There are spies of Beifu soldiers everywhere around Xiangyang City. This method of sending people out along the city wall is not bad for a dozen or twenty people.
Find a time when the night is dark and windy, and act cautiously, as it is always easy to get away with it.
But this time, what Fu Rui wanted to transport was a whole squad of combat soldiers, a total of two thousand people.
If so many people were sent down one by one from the tower, they would definitely be captured by the Jin army on the spot, let alone setting up an ambush in Xiaozha, which was simply impossible.
In order to send the soldiers to the predetermined ambush location as soon as possible and to attack the Jin army unexpectedly, General Fu mobilized all his wisdom and took action.
In order to deceive others, on the first day after closing the city gate, he organized soldiers to build a tall fence near the city gate to prevent the Jin army from raiding the city.
In ancient battles, it was a very common defensive method to set up fences outside the city tower to intercept enemy troops. Wang Mi and others also observed the actions of the Qin army in the military tent of the Beifu soldiers.
But at that time, because the Beifu soldiers and reinforcements had just arrived outside Xiangyang City and were in urgent need of rest, Wang Mi let it go easily and did not stop the Qin soldiers from building fences.
After all, there are many defenders in the city. If the force is too tight and they are mobilized in full force, it may not be a good thing for the Beifu Army to rush into battle.
However, Wang Mi also made some mistakes on this point.
He did not expect that Fu Rui, who seemed to have a confused head, had quite a lot of evil in his stomach. Under the cover of the double fence, a not-so-long secret passage was slowly expanding from the inside of the city to the outside of the city wall.
Although Fu Rui was besieged by Beifu soldiers outside the city and could not do anything, the Qin soldiers could effectively control the area within a half-mile radius from the city to the city wall.
The Jin army, which did not dare to arouse the Qin soldiers' nerves prematurely, would not take action even if they saw Qin soldiers moving in this area.
The best the Jin army could do was to shoot the spies with arrows when they saw them leaving the city at night.
It was such an unsound, temporarily dug secret passage that gave Qin Bing a rare opportunity.
Under the cover of the double-layer fence, whenever night fell, the Di and Qin soldiers would line up and emerge from the city. In just two nights, all 2,000 people were sent out of the city without anyone noticing.
Kodak and the others felt quite comfortable after breaking through the siege. Xiangyang City was besieged like an iron barrel, and there would be no war for a short period of time.
However, this group of people was able to bypass the enemy's eyes and sneak out of the city. This can not but be said to be a precious opportunity given by God.
As long as you seize this opportunity and follow the trend, the spring of Kodak will be here!

Outside Xiangyang City, looking farther east, inside the Victory Fort.
On a sunny day, the castle owner Liu Fang did not stay in the main room, but went into the dark underground.
Ahem...
As soon as Liu Fang stepped into the underground passage, he choked on the dust and coughed several times.
Within the visual range, the secret passage under the Victory Fort is generally quite spacious. The road in front of you is quite finely dug, and can almost accommodate three people walking side by side without any pressure.
Such a width is enough for chariots to walk along it. With such a secret passage, both grain, grass and ordnance can be transported outside Xiangyang City.
"Fort Master, the Beifu Army sent news that the return area has been occupied by them. The exit of this secret passage at the other end is at the return port."
"We can take action now." Manager Lin held a torch and led the way. In front of Liu Fang's eyes, a smooth road gradually appeared.
Hiss, hiss...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Liu Fang strode forward, and right at his feet, a huge rat the size of a yellow rabbit fled quickly, running very fast.
And there are countless types of bugs of different sizes.
The underground tunnel, which has not been used for a long time, is almost airtight, full of dust and cobwebs, and the conditions are quite harsh.
This secret passage was dug before Liu Fang entered the Victory Fort. It was said that it was several years earlier than when Di Qin occupied Xiangyang City.
At that time, Desheng Fort was just one of many forts of different sizes outside Xiangyang City.
It's unremarkable, nothing conspicuous.
The success of the Fort was able to develop and grow to its current scale, and even became the only large-scale fort surviving outside Xiangyang City, all because of the management of Liu Fang.
In the past few years, there have been few wars in Xiangyang City, and the secret tunnel originally dug to save his life gradually faded out of Liu Fang's memory.
If it hadn't been for the reminder from the manager Lin Deguang, Liu Fang himself would have been unable to remember such a place.
Originally, I was worried about how to avoid Di Qin's sight and properly escort a supply of food, grass and weapons to the outside of Xiangyang City and into the hands of the Beifu soldiers.
Now, with this secret passage, everything is worry-free!
"This secret passage will definitely lead to the outside of Xiangyang City, and the Beifu soldiers will be able to reach it. Are you sure?"
Liu Fang used three words with the word "ding" in succession, which showed that he attached great importance to this matter and was eager to know the answer without any room for error.
After all, this secret passage has been dug for a long time, and Liu Fang has never used it since its completion.
To this day, he himself is no longer sure where this secret passage leads and where it ends.
Lin Deguang smiled easily, he was really sure about this, there was no need to hesitate.
"Don't worry, Lord, this secret passage does lead to the back entrance. Not long ago, Secretary Wang also used it on the way to the return entrance. It can completely avoid Di Qin's sight. There is absolutely no problem."
"Beifu soldiers also used it?"
"Could it be that there are many exits to this secret passage?"
Behind Liu Fang, the fort residents also gradually descended into the secret passage. Some of them were pushing carts and some were carrying weapons.
