Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 560

They had calculated the distance from Liyang to the Tucheng stronghold before, and every day they dug underground, they would measure the distance, so Guo Tu knew how far it was.

Bang...

As soon as the pickaxe went down, the soldier in front looked at the guy in his hand, frowned, and stopped the pickaxe.

"My lord! The soil here is a bit moist, even moister than before. Didn't we dig a dark river? Do we want to continue?"

Hearing this, Guo Tu stepped forward to take a look, and grabbed the dirt to touch it.

"Hiss... it's indeed a little wet! It hasn't rained recently, has it?"

"No, my lord! The weather has been fine since we started!"

The soldier reported.

Guo Tu frowned and thought about it.

"Then what's going on here? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

"If we dig an underground river, we won't be drowned? No... If it's an underground river, there should be the sound of water flowing. Get out of the way, and I'll hear if there is any movement!"

Guo Tu pulled the soldiers away, walked to the front by himself, put his ear on the dirt and listened.

The soldiers behind him all kept quiet, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing him.

Half a minute later, Guo Tu smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is no sound of water flowing! This is definitely not a dark river, I guess... it may be the reason for rushing into the city!"

"Those people poured their living water on the ground, or the water from farming seeped out, so the soil was soaked!"

"It's okay! Keep digging! From our Tucheng stronghold to Liyang, it's all plains, don't worry and do it boldly! As long as we take Liyang, I will reward you with my own money!"

The soldiers spat a few mouthfuls of saliva on their hands and continued to dig the soil. The dug soil was taken out by the brothers behind to repair the Tucheng stronghold.

However, the more the soil got wetter, Guo Tu frowned again.

Although there is no dark river, he has a faint premonition in his heart!

Based on the principle of safety, Guo Tu made a decision.

"Keep digging! Calculate the distance and stop when you enter the city. I'll go to another tunnel to see!"

"By the way, call the lord and ask him to bring troops over!"

After speaking, Guo Tu turned around and squeezed out.

Just as he climbed out of the tunnel and was about to leave to find Yuan Shao to transfer troops, panic and screams of soldiers suddenly came from inside the tunnel!

"Run! Everyone, run!"

"Damn it, don't block the way! If you run slowly, you will die! Get out of the way for me!"

"My day! Damn Guo Tu! He ran away and left us to die!"

……

Hearing these voices, Guo Tu's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, many people fled from the tunnel in a hurry.

Chapter 653

"What's going on? What are you guys doing without digging? Do you want to defy the military order?"

Guo Tu carried a soldier, opened his mouth and roared.

The soldier was trembling, still terrified, and soldiers kept escaping from the passage.

"My lord! There... water was dug inside, and the river is pouring back! The brothers in front have all drowned!"

"If we didn't run fast, I'm afraid we would..."

Hearing this, Guo Tu staggered back with a look of disbelief.

In such a narrow passage, there are crowds of people. If there is water flooding in, how can people run?

"What? River water? Why is there a dark river? There is obviously no sound of water flowing!"

He looked at this passage, then at the others, and suddenly woke up in his heart.

"Quick! Send the order to go down, don't dig! Maybe there is a river behind!"

As soon as the words were finished, screams and the sound of water flowed from the other passages.

Hearing these movements, Guo Tu slumped on the ground.

"It's over, it's over! It took a few days of work, not only didn't go in, but also lost soldiers and generals! If you turn around, you won't be hacked to death by the lord!"

Guo Tu panicked!He didn't know how to explain to Yuan Shao.

The figures in the passage continued to escape, and the screams continued.

1 people participated in digging the tunnel, but only [-] people finally came out.

After hesitating for half an hour, Guo Tu found Yuan Shao with anxiety!

At this time, Cao Ying also happened to be ordered to retreat!

Seeing Guo Tu approaching, Yuan Shao burst out laughing.

"Gongze! Did Li Yang take it down? Otherwise, why did Cao Ying suddenly withdraw its troops?"

"This time... you have made a great contribution! Hahaha! Rewards, there are many rewards!"

Yuan Shao patted Guo Tu's shoulder and said loudly.

Zhang He, Xu You and others all showed envious eyes. Defeating Cao Cao is a great contribution!

A bounty of one hundred taels is not a problem!

"Gongze, you're amazing! It's the first time I've convinced you as a judge!"

"That's right! I, Zhang He, also admire you! After making such a great contribution, you can still hold your breath, and you can't even show your joy? Amazing! With this self-cultivation, you are undoubtedly a top adviser!"

Yuan Shao also straightened his face and looked at Guo Tu slightly surprised.

"What? Why do you still have a bitter face after you have made a contribution? Could it be... Li Yang didn't take it? You still need us to counterattack and help you?"

"Since that's the case, big guys, let's attack together and hunt down Cao Bandit! Now that they are under the enemy's back, they will definitely not be able to hold on!"

Yuan Shao prepared to lead his troops out.

Guo Tu quickly grabbed him!

"Wait, my lord! Although I don't know why Cao Ying withdrew his troops, you must not pursue them!"

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, quite puzzled.

"Why is this? Didn't you get through Li Yang? Wouldn't it be great for us to lead our troops to cooperate internally and externally?"

Guo Tu gave a wry smile, shrunk his head and looked at Yuan Shao with some fear.

Seeing his appearance, everyone's heart tightened, and they also realized that something was wrong.

"Master...Master...the passage...the passage has become a sewer! Therefore, the plan has failed again!"

"And... there are only... [-] soldiers left from [-] soldiers!"

After speaking, Guo Tu immediately knelt down.

Bang, these words hit Yuan Shao on the top of his head like a bolt from the blue, and beat him to pieces!

A few seconds later, Yuan Shao grabbed Guo Tu's collar and let out a roar.

"What? The plan failed again? I've been waiting for so many days, you tell me I'm wasting my time?"

"Do you know! We don't have much food, how precious are these seven days?"

"And if we can't attack for a long time, can't you see how big a blow to our morale it is? It is very likely that you will delay the war and cause the war to fail!"

"Tell me, how do you want to die!"

Yuan Shao's eyes were full of murderous intent, he wished he could kill Guo Tu with one sword!

Seeing this, Jianpei and others hurriedly pulled Yuan Shao back.

"My lord! Beheading your advisers before the battle will have a great impact on morale! Absolutely not!"

"And things have already happened, we shouldn't blame, it's best to find a way to solve the problem!"

Yuan Shao snorted angrily and kicked Guo Tu to the ground.

Then he turned his head to look at Xu You.

"How much food and grass do we have? How many days can we supply?"

Xu You sighed and shook his head slowly.

"My lord, it won't be more than five days! We have a large army, and we have [-] light cavalry. The cost is huge!"

"When the subordinates open their eyes every day, they are counting how much food and grass they need to eat! Sigh!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent for a while.

Originally, Jizhou was rich in products and a lot of food!

However, after several years of successive battles, the old bottom has already been hollowed out.

Yuan Shao's expression darkened suddenly: "How long can we last if we get all the grain and grass from Yecheng and Jizhou City?"

Xu You thought for a while and opened his mouth to answer.

"Three months! But it will take at least half a month to transport the food. How will we spend this half month?"

"Without rations, the soldiers are bound to riot!"

Yuan Shao was simmering with anger, if it wasn't for Guo Tujianpei who kept saying that they were sure to win Li Yang.

How could he not adjust the grain and grass in advance?

As a result, the plan failed, and the food and grass were not adjusted!

"You two are really my right-hand men! One hit me on the left cheek, and the other hit me on the right cheek!"

Yuan Shao glared at Guo Tu, the interrogator, and they both trembled.

"Everyone, think of a way, how can you survive this half a month?"

Everyone was silent, and with the lessons learned from Guo Tu's audition, no one wanted to stand out.

And...they don't have immortal methods, so they definitely can't conjure food out of thin air. If anyone can solve the problem of military food, wouldn't they be gods?

Just when Yuan Shao was in despair, Li Congliang's eyes shone brightly, and he stepped forward.

"My lord! There is a way to procrastinate! If there is no accident...should be able to wait for food and grass!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao was overjoyed!He grabbed Li Congliang's hand.

"Congliang, teach me!"

Li Congliang nodded calmly.

"My lord, don't worry! From tonight, we will change the big fights into small ones and distribute them! In this way... we can last for a few more days!"

Hearing Li Congliang's words, everyone frowned.

Xu You curled his lips: "What kind of bullshit trick are you doing? Are you really a fool when you think of a soldier?"

"Da Dou eats enough, but Xiao Dou doesn't have enough to eat! Isn't it the same as a mutiny? What's the use of holding on for a few more days? By then, everyone will run away!"

Yuan Shao also looked at Li Congliang suspiciously, only to see that the other party was calm and confident.

Li Congliang pressed his hand calmly!

"Someone has his own clever plan, Ziyuan (Xu You) can do it!"

Xu You looked at Yuan Shao, and after receiving the other's nod, he stepped back and followed suit.

Yuan Shao is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor!If you can, you can continue to fight!

If it doesn't work...it's a failure anyway, why not try?

Time flies, five days have passed!

In the past few days, Yuan Shao still carried Cao Cao's bombing during the day, and at night he asked soldiers to repair the Tucheng.
