"There is no gravel in the soil, and the soil is relatively uniform. I think it should be very convenient for you to dig." Chen Yue said while looking at the soil in his hands: "And the soil is fertile and extremely suitable for growing crops."

Chenyue, who was born in a farmer's family, could tell at a glance that this was fertile soil. In the entire Beiliang territory, Chenyue had almost never seen this kind of soil.

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Yes, the black soil in Liaodong is the most fertile near Tanzhou, and it is easy to nourish fertile fields. The reason why Shuntan and Shuntan can become the granary of the north is because of this black soil."

Chu Yucheng threw away the soil in his hand and asked: "Is this only the surface layer? What about the underground layer?"

Shi Lie replied: "We tried it, and the soil is still the same for seven or eight feet down, but it is a little more solid."

Chenyue suddenly raised his eyebrows: "I think the two generals are not just here to show us the quality of the soil, right? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Wang Shouren and Shi Lie looked at each other, then raised their hands and said at the same time: "There is a plan that may help the army to attack Tanzhou City!"

The two of them had amazing words!

Now Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were surprised, and a light flashed in their eyes. Did these two people come over to dig the soil and find a way to break through Tanzhou City?

"Tell me about it!" Chen Yue scattered the dirt in his hands and patted his hands with both hands to remove the dirt stuck to his palms.

Chenyue still admired Wang Shouren very much, and he was quick to use his brain, so Chenyue was very curious about what Wang Shouren's plan was to break the city.

Wang Shouren said solemnly: "Since the soil here is uniform and not mixed with sand and gravel, it is easy to dig. I wonder if we can dig a tunnel into the city?"

"Dig tunnel?" Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were stunned at the same time.

"That's right!" Wang Shouren nodded firmly: "Tanzhou City is tall and has sufficient food and grass. There are many defenders in the city, and they are waiting for work. The army tried its best to attack the city and suffered a lot of casualties. If we can dig a tunnel into the city and cooperate with the army outside the city, we will definitely

If we can take them by surprise, it will be much easier to capture Tanzhou City."

Chenyue held his chin and thought about Wang Shouren's suggestion. He was obviously moved. While thinking about it, he turned his head to the distance, looked at the blurred Tanzhou City and said, "This is a good idea, but I think

Know if it’s feasible.”

"You must know that this place is still some distance from Tanzhou City. Excavation requires a lot of soldiers. If it is wasted, it will be a waste of military power." Chu Yucheng hesitated and said: "Even entering the city is very risky, and it is easy to be surrounded and suppressed by the defenders in the city.

.”

"A farther distance can prevent the Jin soldiers from discovering it, but the construction period will be longer. As for whether it works or not, we need to give it a try!" Wang Shouren clenched his fist: "But I think this plan is feasible!"

Chenyue once again picked up a handful of soil and groped in his hands. Wang Shouren's words moved his heart.

"Is this a flash of inspiration or did you already plan to report it to me?" Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Actually, we have thought of this strategy a long time ago." Wang Shouren said with some embarrassment: "It's just that I was too busy a while ago and didn't have time to report it to the Marquis. Today, the Marquis came here for inspection, and the two of us happened to propose it!"

"I want to hear the detailed plan? Is there any?" Chenyue asked with a smile. Since the two of them had already made plans, they must have some plans in mind.

Chu Yucheng also crossed his arms and waited for their answers.

Wang Shouren said solemnly: "We have roughly calculated that it will only take about a month to dig from here to Tanzhou City and work day and night. If there are no underground rivers and sand and gravel, the tunnel can enter Tanzhou City unimpeded. It can be more

The tunnels run parallel to each other. If you encounter obstacles, just change to another one! There must be a way to successfully dig into the city!"

Shi Lie also said: "I have been to Tanzhou City many times. I remember some of the general buildings in the city, and I can estimate a few places suitable for our tunnel exit."

Chen Yuexu squinted his eyes and scanned the surrounding terrain, and then looked along the earth into the distance. He was a little undecided, but Wang Shouren's confident look had impressed him.

Chu Yucheng hesitated for a moment and then said: "If the tunnel can really be dug into the city, and if we cooperate with the siege army, we will definitely be able to break through Tanzhou City!"

After thinking deeply, Chu Yucheng turned to look at Chen Yue: "I support the two generals' idea! You can give it a try!"

Wang Shouren and Shi Lie were delighted. Chu Yucheng agreed and waited for the Marquis of Beiliang to make a decision.

Seeing that Chu Yucheng agreed, Chenyue no longer hesitated, waved his hand and said: "I agree with the plan in general, but the details still need to be discussed. You survey the terrain immediately and mark the route of the tunnel on the map, and then we

Finally confirm it with the generals! But remember, this matter must be kept secret, and the news must not be leaked prematurely!"

"No! Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

The two of them drank happily.

It is a kind of recognition that your opinions are adopted by the Marquis of Beiliang! It means that the Marquis of Beiliang completely regards them as his own people, not as surrendered generals!

Chen Yue looked at the two of them with relief. Being able to come up with such a plan showed that they were very careful.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Since the problem of water shortage was solved, the morale of the army sergeants also improved a lot, and they no longer had to fight with dry mouth and tongue.

Tuohamu, who originally breathed a sigh of relief in the city, thought that the Beiliang army would wait for the scorching heat to pass before attacking the city. Unexpectedly, the Beiliang army rested for seven or eight days and came back again.

However, the offensive was smaller, and the original non-stop siege every day became an attack every two days.

A few days later, Wang Shouren and Shi Lie, with dark circles under their eyes, came to Chenyue's handsome tent with a map.

One look at this look shows that he didn't sleep well.

At this time, there were not only Chenyue but also Chu Yucheng and many other generals in the tent.

The main ones were Li Batian, Cao Wenzhao and other infantry generals, as well as Xin Ji and a group of Liaodong generals.

In the past two days, they had also learned about the strategy proposed by Wang Shouren, and they all expressed great interest.

"Greetings to the Marquis!" The two of them bent down and saluted.

Chenyue straightened up and said with a smile: "Look, our General Wang, General Shi, must have brought us good news, haha."

Chu Yucheng also joked: "Now that you two are ready, let me, the generals of the Beiliang Army, open their eyes."

"promise!"

Wang Shouren neatly hung the map on the wall, and all the generals gathered around him.

Wang Shouren pointed at the map and spoke first: "Look, everyone! After asking some local people and soldiers who have been to Tanzhou City, these routes should be feasible. Although no one knows the situation underground, at least the ground is flat and uneven.

eye-catching.

We dug six to seven feet underground and dug more than ten tunnels that could allow three to four soldiers to pass side by side. If we encounter obstacles, we can change the route or give up. As long as we can successfully dig four to five tunnels, transportation can be carried out in a short time.

Thousands of soldiers entered the city, and these thousands of people were enough to disrupt the Tanzhou city defense!"
