Chapter 71: Not done

Wu Renxiong came to Gu Du's residence and talked about his conversation with Guan Shanyue.

Gu Dushi laughed and said, "It seems that he is not bad, but he is a little narrow-minded."

Wu Renxiong said, "Stop talking about him, I envy you. When I was at your age, I was just a former deputy general. I was not like you. When I was less than 20 years old, I had a high position and a wealthy salary, and had a lot of reputation all over the world."

Gu Du said: "What's there to envy? I'm all for my life."

Wu Renxiong scolded: "Barring! Who is the one who is not given his life? Could it be that I, the general, have eaten?"

Gu Du said with a smile: "I don't mean that."

Wu Renxiong said: "Don't say these useless things, Guan Shanyue's words make sense. If you want to take Chu Shuting to the battle, you should have the documents of the Soul-Observer. Otherwise, he is the Soul-Observer in charge of Zhenbei Pass. If there is any mistake, he will be responsible for it. I'm afraid no one can afford this crime."

Gu Du nodded and said, "We just said this, and Li Xia has gone back to write a letter. Since Master Guan also said that, I will send you six hundred miles to speed up, so as not to miss the opportunity to fight."

Wu Renxiong said, "Okay, that's it."

Gu Du asked: "How is the Border River digging?"

Wu Renxiong replied: "The thief dare not get too close. One of the thiefs has been shot to death by the enemy. However, roughly estimated that the trench dozens of miles on the front is more than one meter wide and more than one person deep."

Gu Du frowned and said, "So fast?"

Wu Renxiong replied: "The detective reported that the enemy was digging day and night, and even soldiers wearing armored men followed suit, probably because they were afraid that the digging soil would freeze again."

Gu Du asked: "How far can a catapult car be thrown?"

Wu Renxiong replied: "It's useless. The enemy camp is one mile away from the trench, and the catapult can't be thrown through. Moreover, the enemy has crossbowmen to guard the trench. We won't be able to push the catapult to the edge of the trench, and even if it is pushed to the edge, it still cannot reach the enemy camp."

Gu Du sighed. No one is stupid. He can think of anything he can think of. Now the ditch is more than ten feet wide, and it is difficult to explore the camp. It takes four days for the 600-mile rush round trip. It is not the time for the high priest to consider. After five days, the ditch will definitely be wider. At that time, even the war horses may not be able to jump over.

This is what is called "opportunity must not be missed". If the time does not come again, the Zeguo is not here to fight, nor to lure the enemy into battle, or to dig the boundary river.

Wu Renxiong asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

Gu Du replied: "The ditch is ten feet wide. Can war horses leaps over with people carrying people?"

Wu Renxiong replied: "You can jump over after resting. If you run over from the gate... it will be difficult. If you say it's your own. I have a few good horses. You can ride them at will, but if you want to jump over five hundred or even five thousand horses, it will definitely not work."

Gu Du sighed again and said, "Then there is no need to go to explore the camp. You can't even get through the trenches, so why should you explore?"

Wu Renxiong said, "You go around, you go around and kill, and you can kill one less."

Gu Du blinked, but Chu Shuting would definitely not do this method, and said, "Then I will go by myself, don't take Chu Shuting. I'll go early tomorrow. You can give me five hundred riding and shooting, one thousand horses."

Wu Renxiong nodded and replied, "Okay!"

The next day, he was about to leave. Chu Shuting pulled Gu Du's little finger and asked, "Master Gu, why don't you take your disciples with you?"

Gu Du replied: "I'm going to kill someone, are you going?"

Chu Shuting hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will they kill us too?"

Gu Du replied: "Of course."

Chu Shuting said, "Then the disciple will go and take the wolves to protect Master Gu."

Gu Du was surprised and said, "But Master Guan won't let you go."

Chu Shuting asked, "He is not the soul master of his disciple, why should he control his disciples?"

Gu Du replied: "He is a yellow-robed soul master, one level higher than me and your soul master, and we all have to listen to him."

Chu Shuting asked, "If he asks you to turn on and surrender, do you also want to listen to him?"

The three of them laughed together, and Li Xia picked her up and said, "Be good, let Master Gu check the situation first, and I will take you with you next time."

"Oh." Chu Shuting agreed, but still looked at Gu Du with a gaze.

Gu Du didn't bother him anymore and turned around and left.

Li Xia said to Jin Lan: "You will definitely have to have a son in the future, and your daughter will definitely not be close to you."

Jin Lan's face turned red and she said angrily: "You have to care!"

Gu Du led the army out of the customs without rushing, and walked slowly. The captain was puzzled and endured for more than ten miles before asking, "Master, why are you so leisurely?"

Gu Du replied: "One is to save horsepower, and the other is to wait for the sun to go west. At that time, we will run west. If the enemy wants to shoot me, we will raise our heads to meet the sun, and we will shoot them, but we will not be dazzling by the sun."

The captain clasped his fists and said, "Master is a great calculation!"

Gu Dushi laughed and said, "You have said this. It was just that I was blinded by the sun while hunting. That's why I thought of it. The sun rises east and falls east and west, and it's like this in the past. I don't need to calculate it."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Du ordered to get off the horse and rest five miles away from the trench, eat and drink horses, rest for two quarters of an hour, and then get on the horse again. Nearly three miles, the enemy troops were busy, and the workers who were digging the soil climbed out of the trench and fled north. Only the crossbowmen were staying by the trench, and there were shieldmen supporting long shields to guard the crossbowmen.

Gu Du frowned. It was indeed something he could think of, and others could think of it. The enemy had been on guard against such small attacks, so he was well prepared and had no advantage at all.

Gu Du sighed and said, "Go back."

After saying that, he led the army to turn around and heard the enemy shouting in unison: "I will never fight from afar! I am afraid of my head and tail! Such a general! I can live for a thousand years!"

The captain frowned and said, "Master, they called you a turtle turtle."

Gu Du looked at him squintedly and said coldly: "I really didn't hear that the master is so knowledgeable and agile, and just being a lieutenant is really too talented."

The captain lowered his head with an awkward look on his face, pulled the reins, and was a little far away from Gu Du.

Back in Guanzhong, Wu Renxiong asked expectantly: "How?"

Gu Du replied calmly: "Without fighting, there were still two miles away, the laborers ran away. The enemy not only had crossbowmen, but also had long shields. They used cavalry to fight the crossbow formation, and there was a trench in the middle, so they could only bring shame to themselves."

Wu Renxiong sighed and said, "This is the opportunity that cannot be missed. Time will not come again. Okay, just wait for the boundary river to divert water."

Gu Du said: "It may not be possible, brother, how many crossbows are there in Guanzhong?"

Wu Renxiong's eyes lit up and he asked, "You still want to go?"

Gu Du replied: "I have to go again, otherwise I won't let them talk for nothing?"
