“The people of Di had a lot of water flowing from the stream below the city, and the officials were thirsty and tired, so they carried horse dung juice and drank it.
"Zhong Zhong had six wells in the city but couldn't get any water, so he sighed and said, 'Isn't this how God will kill me?' The officials were thirsty and the Di people were about to invade, so Zhong Nai ordered the officials to fight to the death.
"The deputy general remonstrated: 'When the late emperor was trapped, he drew his sword and stabbed the mountain, and flying springs gushed out. How could it be that the great Chu country was destined to return?'
“In the seventh place, a spring of water rushed out, and everyone said long live it.
"Zhongnai ordered the officials to raise water to show the captives. When the captives were surprised, they thought they were gods and led them away."
This is the original text recorded in historical materials.
Although Zhao Haiping can no longer remember the specific words of these original texts, he can still remember the general plot. After all, he specifically read the translations at that time.
He began to consider the situation in the copy.
"Judging from historical records, the Di people cut off the water supply in the city at that time, and the soldiers of Chu could only drink horse dung juice. This is the same as what I saw.
"General Geng Zhong ordered his men to dig wells in the city. After digging six wells, there was no water. Geng Zhong thought, 'I will die from heaven.' Seeing that the Di people were about to launch an attack, he had his soldiers prepare to fight to the death.
"As a result, a deputy general advised him, and Geng Zhong dug the seventh place again, and this time a 'flying spring gushes out'. Geng Zhong asked the soldiers to pour the water out again. The Di people thought that the Chu soldiers had divine help, so they did not forcefully attack the city. , retreated.
"But these plots seem not to be reflected in the copy at all?"
Zhao Haiping suddenly realized that if the plot related to this deputy general was removed, it would be the same situation he encountered in the dungeon?
If Geng Zhong had really fought to the death when there was no water in the city, the possibility of a miracle would have been unlikely. After all, the morale of the barbarian soldiers in Beidi was high at that time, and they all felt that the Chu soldiers were out of water, and it would be a matter of time before they captured the city.
But after digging out the water, Geng Zhong asked people to pour the water out of the city and played a psychological warfare. The barbarian soldiers retreated.
"Could it be that...this lieutenant general is myself?
"That's not right. I seem to be playing just a low-level archer, not a deputy general at all?"
Zhao Haiping was very sure that he actually had no right to speak at all. Let alone the deputy general, he could not speak to the general at all.
But now that the matter has come to this, we can only give it a try.
There is a whole day before the battle begins, and we can only try to persuade General Geng Zhong in this day.
…
restart.
Zhao Haiping appeared on the familiar city wall again, but this time he did not wait for the Beidi barbarians to attack the city as before. Instead, he stood up directly and walked towards the location of General Geng Zhong.
"What's the matter!"
Two guards immediately stopped him.
Zhao Haiping hurriedly said: "I have something important to report to the general!"
The two guards looked him up and down: "The general is very busy now and doesn't have time to see you. The barbarians are about to invade. Go back to your post immediately!"
Of course Zhao Haiping couldn't leave: "But I really have something very important to report! It can solve an urgent need!"
The two guards became obviously impatient: "It's the same thing if you tell us anything."
Zhao Haiping was speechless, but he also knew that he was in a low status and was just an ordinary soldier. How could he say that he would see the general as soon as he saw him?
I had no choice but to tell these two guards.
"As long as the general continues to dig the seventh well, there will definitely be water!"
The two guards looked at each other and said perfunctorily: "Okay, got it, go back to your place quickly."
Yes, obviously I don’t believe it.
Zhao Haiping definitely couldn't just leave like this: "Then why don't you go report it to the general!"
A guard looked at him: "Brother, we are as thirsty and anxious as you, but this is not the reason for you to disturb the general.
"You said there must be water in the seventh well. So if the general asks where the seventh well will be dug, how should I answer?"
Zhao Haiping was stunned by the question: "Ah, this..."
God asked me where the seventh well was dug. How could I know? Shouldn't it be up to the general to decide this kind of thing?
But there is nothing wrong with what the guard said. You are just a low-level soldier. Now is the critical moment for the enemy. How can you say that you can see the general just by meeting him?
If a random person makes a small talk and they let him go to see the general, that's fine, and the two guards don't have to do anything.
Moreover, even if by a miracle, the two guards let him go to see the general, what if the general asked the same question? Where is this seventh well dug?
If Zhao Haiping pointed to a random place and no water was dug out, wouldn't that be the same as sending it?
The enemy was in front of us, and six wells were not producing water. Why would the general waste precious manpower to dig the seventh well just because of a small soldier's words?
All are problems.
Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping sighed silently, turned around and jumped off the top of the city.
"Why!"
The two guards were shocked and ran over to stop him, but it was too late.
"Brother...what's going on? Why do you need to take this shortcut?"
"Maybe I'm dizzy from thirst..."
The two guards looked at each other.
…
Return to the original state of the copy again.
Zhao Haiping was no longer able to attack the city with the barbarian soldiers. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not win in this situation. He would die anyway, so it would be better to die more simply.
After dying countless times in this dungeon, he basically doesn't have much fear about death anymore.
After all, he had been dragged down the city and thrown to death by the barbarians attacking the city several times before.
"So there are two problems now. First, my status is too low, and no one listens to my words. It is really unjustifiable for a soldier to leave his post without authorization and go to the general to talk about digging a well.
"If I were really a deputy general and had a good relationship with the general, I would be able to talk to the general directly.
"The second thing is that I don't know the exact location of this well, so let the general dig one by himself? That's obviously unreliable.
"The second problem is easy to solve. The ruins of this city seem to be still there. You should be able to determine the general location of the well by searching for information online. If it is not possible, you can always confirm it by going to the actual site to see it.
"The first question is troublesome. Can I change my identity in this copy? It seems that there is no such option.
“Could it be related to the first stage?
"The better my performance in the first stage, the more likely I am to be appreciated by the general and become a deputy general?"
After some reasoning, Zhao Haiping realized that this copy was definitely not as simple as he thought.
Who said that playing a copy of a martial soldier just has to be purely reckless? Obviously not!
Even if it is a pure combat profession, you have to use your brain, and it also requires acting skills.
When the time comes to report this matter to the general, what words should I use? what expression? These all need to be well planned.
"Exit the game first."
At the same time that Zhao Haiping had this firm idea, his vision was covered by white mist, and he quickly woke up from reality.
Looking at the time, Zhao Haiping was shocked.
“It’s only around three in the morning?
"No, I've died many times in the game!
"This game seems to be a bit evil. It not only allows people to ignore time during the game and completely focus on the game content, but most importantly, it seems that time in the game flows faster than in reality?"
This is obviously a good thing for Zhao Haiping, because it means that he still has many opportunities to be happy tonight.
First, I searched online for the ruins of this city.
Although there is some content on the encyclopedia, it is obviously not enough. It does not mention the specific location of the well at all.
Zhao Haiping found another photo of the city's ruins.
“The west city wall…the north pier…the west cloister…the trench…
"Yes!
"This looks like a well!"
Zhao Haiping looked carefully at the high-definition bird's-eye view that was enlarged many times. Although the location of the well was not marked on the picture, he could still vaguely see a hole similar to a well near the south pier, with a clear circle of stones around it. High above the ground.
"The stream seems to flow from the northwest, and this well is to the south. It's no wonder that normal people would dig closer to the stream. I didn't expect this location to be normal.
"If there is no problem with the location of this well, then the next question is, I have to perform as well as possible in the first stage of this copy and try to show my face in front of the general.
"Maybe my status will change in the second stage?"
