Lu Dynasty

Chapter 644
When our army was dealing with the restoration and consolidation of the people's livelihood, Yuan Shao had already retreated to Dai Commandery.Along the way, I did not send anyone to chase him.You know, Yuan Shao still has hundreds of thousands of elite troops. If he chases after him, even if our army is not afraid of him, the damage will definitely be serious.In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, young and strong are the basis for the princes to dominate, and my capital is these well-trained and loyal soldiers!However, Yuan Shao's arrival in Daijun also symbolizes our army's victory in this battle!This seemingly drawable battle finally ended with Yuan Jun's retreat.When Cao knew that Yuan Shao's army had withdrawn to Daijun, he immediately withdrew the troops surrounded by Hulao Pass, fearing that our army would take advantage of the victory and kill his troops as well!Cao is too worried, even if I want to fight, I will fight Yuan Shao first, who is calling him a traitor!
As soon as the enemies on three sides retreated, our army immediately resumed its rule in Bingzhou and Liangzhou.The people in Sili who really couldn't get any land began to slowly move to Bingliang Prefecture.Ping'an is indeed a good place, but Ping'an can't do without food. Many people reluctantly went to Bingliang, but the imperial court did not force them. This is also a progress across the ages!When I arrived at the people in Bingliang Prefecture, I asked people to distribute double the land according to the population. Although there were threats from Yuan Shao and foreigners, the more land, the higher the income.As the saying goes: Wealth and wealth are found in danger.These people came to Bingliang voluntarily. Although they were a little disappointed, they got more land, which was a bit of a surprise!

To fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled first, since the inside is safe, now is the time for me to clean up Yuan Shao!Yuan Shao dared to collude with foreigners to deal with me, so naturally I couldn't make him feel better.Just one month after Yuan Shaojun retreated to Daijun, I appointed Zhao Yun as the commander, Guo Jia as the military adviser, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dianwei, and Xu Chu as deputy commanders, and ordered 20 elite soldiers to come to Daijun. In order to control the uneasy factor of Lu Bu!Yuan Shao knew that our army would not let him go. Subconsciously, Yuan Shao thought he had killed me. When he saw Zhao Yun and Lu Bu chasing him, he felt that Zhao Yun and others came here to avenge me.

Since the establishment of the county by King Wuling of Zhao, Daijun was to resist the invasion of foreign tribes.After hundreds of years of repeated repairs, the city wall has become very strong.Although the city is not big, it is no less difficult to attack than the big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang!Yuan Shao patted the tall Daijun city, and looked at Lu Bu and others who were showing off their might below the city. For the first time, he felt at ease!At the very least, no matter how sharp our army's catapults are, it is impossible to smash down the city wall of Dai County!I hid in the army and looked at the complacent Yuan Shao in the city and hated in my heart: If our army researches the gunpowder, I will blow up Daijun!It's a pity that the two old Taoist priests, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, moved too slowly. The gunpowder developed so far can only emit a sizzling flame. If it is wrapped up, it can't even do a firecracker!Looking at Daijun with a high city and a thick pool, I really have nothing to do for a while!

This old boy Li Ru is also a poisonous man no less than Jia Xu, he seemed to know what I was thinking even in Luoyang.Although our army's battle reports are always sent to the staff of the staff department as soon as possible, even Huang Yueying has a copy, but not everyone has constructive opinions on the war.Li Ru gave me a constructive suggestion. He asked Hou Cheng to bring a team of nearly 2000 troops to Daijun and send him a letter.I received a letter from Li Ru, and I saw the letter read: "I heard that the lord encountered obstacles in Dai County, and now I offer a plan: Digging the son army! This army is full of tomb robbers left by my father-in-law. This time digging the imperial tomb, if my lord uses them to dig through Dai County, I will make them atone for the previous crime!" Digging tunnels to attack the city is indeed a good plan, but what Li Ru said is a bit exaggerated.What kind of crime is excavating the imperial tomb?Even if he is guilty, it is Dong Zhuo's!Without Dong Zhuo's order, I would give these people ten guts, and they wouldn't dare to take the crime of exterminating the nine clans to dig the imperial tomb!

After reading it, I immediately burned the letter, but I still accepted Li Ru's kindness.The next day, I asked Lu Bu to set up a giant tent in the camp, and let the diggers enter the tent to work!In order to prevent Yuan Shao from discovering my intentions, I also asked Lu Bu to set up a tent in the back village, making it look like a military supply warehouse.But there is one thing that gives me a headache, that is, the soil for excavating the tunnel, I don't know where to fill it!Later, Guo Jia came up with an idea, asking the soldiers to smear sand and water on the walls and tents of the village to prevent fire, and build earth walls in the army village to prevent Yuan Shaojun from stealing the camp. If there are more, So we pretended to attack Daijun and filled all the soil blocks under the city of Daijun to conceal our real purpose.After listening to Guo Jia's opinion, I immediately ordered people to follow his method.For seven days in a row, Hou Cheng came to tell me: The tunnel is almost dug, can we start the attack? He wants to be the first to lead the attack!
I should have been happy to get Hou Cheng's return, but for some reason, my eyelids twitched and my heart panicked!I have fought wars for more than ten or twenty years. No matter how dangerous the battle is, I have never panicked. Today I am going to attack Yuan Shao. Why do I have such a feeling?I asked Hou Cheng to step down and ordered someone to call Guo Jia.When Guo Jia knew about my situation, he squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said: "Common people often say: the left eye jumps for disaster, the right eye jumps for money, and panic is a bad omen! Could it be that Yuan Shao saw through our tunnel digging? strategy, so the heavens warned the lord?"

I have never believed in ghosts and gods, but the ancients believed in this, and I couldn't explain why I had such an unprecedented feeling, so I asked: "If it is true that Yuan Shao saw through my scheme and sent a warning to heaven, what should I do? "

"Then congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord!" Guo Jia laughed loudly and said, "Whenever there is a wise king and a sage, there must be a sign from heaven. Zhou De Lu Shang, King Wen dreamed of flying bears at night, and Gao Zu was born with a red dragon. There are auspicious clouds covering the top, and even a tyrant like the first emperor has a huge stone from the sky saying: "The ancestor dragon dies and the land is divided! Now the lord also has an omen from the sky, isn't it gratifying and congratulatory?"

Looking at Guo Jia's expression, I didn't know whether what he said was true or false, I waved my hand helplessly and said: "Let's stop talking about these things! Now let's pretend that Yuan Shao knows our intentions, but we have spent so much time Wouldn't it be a pity not to use the tunnel dug with great strength?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry, how about letting me send some people into Dai County to investigate the situation?" I slapped my forehead and immediately agreed to Guo Jia.I almost forgot, Guo Jia is my intelligence leader!
