Chapter 333: The Empty City
The two came to the top of the city. Zhuge Liang sat in front of the guqin, and Cao Cao stood quietly beside him. In front of them, there was a cavalry marching slowly, and behind them, there were thousands of enemy troops.
The armies of Tang State and Duan State have united and are slowly gathering in front of Beizhou City.
They received inquiries from the scouts in front, saying that Zhuge Liang, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, was sitting calmly on the top of the city looking down at Yao Yao, with only a young man fanning him beside him.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was talking and communicating with Cao Cao.
Zhuge Liang said to Cao Cao: "Now that you see the opponent's thousands of troops, are you scared?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said calmly: "If it were left in the past, I would definitely be afraid, but not anymore. A few months ago, I had the honor to follow His Majesty on the expedition and saw hundreds of thousands of people fighting against each other, and
As the supreme leader of the Wei Dynasty, Your Majesty did not hesitate to risk his own life and rush to the front of the army. This is what the younger generation admires the most. It really makes us yearn for it. From then on, the younger generation has nothing to do with such a big scene.
The meaning of fear."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said with a helpless smile: "To be disrespectful, your Majesty is not very good at this. He likes to lead the way too much. However, your Majesty is at the peak of the realm of land gods. On the battlefield, he is also defeated by Zhuge Liang.
The general protection and safety issues are somewhat guaranteed and will not cause people to worry too much. Otherwise, no matter what you say, your Majesty will not be allowed to put himself in danger."
The scene of the two talking and chatting on top of the city was seen by the enemy.
They were discussing Zhuge Liang and others.
A Tang general said to a Tang commander: "Marshal, is there any deception on the part of the enemy? There may be some premeditation for the commander to act like this!"
His worries are reasonable. After all, the enemy troops are at the door of his house, and they are still talking and laughing, which makes people feel suspicious.
The coach of Tang Guo said: "There is definitely some conspiracy, otherwise, how could the coach of one side do this?"
They were all guessing that Zhuge Liang must have some conspiracy. Otherwise, how could the majestic commander of an army stand on the top of the city with just two people?
There must be some fraud!
But at this time, the coach of Duan Guo came up. Seeing Marshal Tang's unmoved look, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't your Marshal order the attack?"
The Tang coach's name was Deng Qi. He snorted coldly, looked at Coach Duan Guo, and said sarcastically: "Why don't you attack?"
Duanguo's commander, Yan Xing, looked at the top of Beizhou City and said calmly: "There are only two of us, so we don't dare to attack the city? I know what you are thinking. It's just that you are afraid of Wei Jun's conspiracy. But in the
In my eyes, this is just a false shot. After all, the Emperor of Wei once deployed this empty city tactic, and it was spread for a while. Even now, some people still talk about the fact that the Chu coach Xiang Nantian is a fool. He is so far away from the Emperor of Wei that he
It’s been so long since the empty city strategy, and you still don’t dare to attack the city?”
Deng Qi smiled and said, "If you think you can do it, you can attack."
Of course he knew the story of the Emperor of Wei Zhao Changqing's empty city plan, but what happened here was different from when the Marshal of Chu besieged Chang'an City of Wei. Who was Zhuge Liang? Prime Minister of Wei, commander of the first army, don't worry about this for now
Whether there is any problem with the city, just talking about Zhuge Liang's identity is enough to make you hesitate.
Although he often won against him and defeated him step by step, he always felt that something was not quite right here.
It seems to be just too smooth.
To what extent is it smooth?
It was probably the smooth process of destroying a city and building a stronghold all the way without any difficulties and obstacles, and it was so easy.
No matter what, Zhuge Liang controls an army of 300,000, so he will try his best to stop it no matter what happens, right?
But the strange thing is that it doesn't happen at all.
After two hits, he retreated and ran away.
Could it be that you just want to paralyze our army and want our army to attack the city without hesitation?
Maybe it's really like this.
After all, he knew that everyone in the world said that there would be no allusions to the empty city after Changqing, so he still dared to use the empty city strategy to create suspicion?
Aren't you afraid of dying ugly?
Why don't you try shooting an arrow first?
Tang Marshal Deng Qi, who had made up his mind, had already ordered his archers to prepare.
After Duan Guo's Marshal Yan Xing heard Deng Qi's words, he hesitated for a moment, thinking in his mind, "Let me attack the city? Let our Duan Guo warriors die in vain? Duan Guo has a sparse population, and if there is really a
What should I do if I cheat? Every soldier must be used on the edge, so let the Tang State attack first!"
As a result, the coach Duan Guo smiled and said: "Brother Deng, you are a great country. The Four Kingdoms Alliance puts you, Tang State, first, so let's let the brothers of Tang State go first! I think Zhuge Liang is just making a fool of himself.
That’s it, maybe it’s really just a plan to empty the city. If we don’t attack at this time, it will be a waste of this opportunity.”
After Tang Guo coach Deng Qi heard this voice, he sneered.
Let us attack?
Why don't you go?
Will I be such a fool if I let my soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain?
For Deng Qi, the desire to protect the country was something that must be punished.
He took a deep breath and said to Yan Xing: "Marshal Yan, what you said is wrong. Although our Tang country is a superior state, logically speaking, our Tang country should go first in this battle, but after all, we are fighting for your country.
After this battle, this city was captured. In the future, it will also be your Duanguo's land. If the enemy really deliberately set up an empty city plan to confuse us in this battle, then you, Duanguo, can take this city without any effort.
, in this case, it is justifiable that this city belongs to your Duan Kingdom."
Yan Xingdao: "Marshal Deng doesn't have to be like this. If this city is captured, it will be taken by Tang Dynasty. So in this battle, your country should go first!"
The two armies fell into a stalemate.
Zhuge Liang, who was on the city wall, laughed unconsciously when he saw the scene in front of him.
Everything is going according to his plan.
Cao Cao was very puzzled by the scene before him. He asked: "Prime Minister, why did they stop marching?"
Zhuge Liang said: "All plans in the world should be based on attacking the heart. Today's plan is better said to be an empty city plan than a plan to attack the heart. The allied forces of Duan Guo and Tang State are not just a piece of iron. They are also here.
If they are suspicious of each other, they can use their mutual suspicion to win."
Cao Cao was still puzzled and asked for advice: "I hope you can teach me."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said calmly: "Since my lord created the empty city strategy in Chang'an, all countries have become familiar with this plan. Therefore, after your majesty, there is no talk of an empty city again. However, today, the enemies will see this plan again.
There will inevitably be doubts in the mind, this is a tactic in the game, and both sides will be suspicious of each other, which will surely make the enemy troops gradually retreat."
Afterwards, Zhuge Liang began to sit on the top of the city and play the piano.
The commanders of the two armies were still in the middle of a fierce quarrel when they suddenly heard the melodious sound of a piano hovering in their ears, and they were surprised.
After paying attention, he found that it was Zhuge Liang who was playing the piano on the city wall.
This move made them even more confused.
Even if he is setting up a plan in the city, he shouldn't be so calm, right?
In this way, he must be sure of victory. Otherwise, how can he play the piano without any disorder in the melody?
This is enough to show that this person is hiding something bad and just wants to wait for him to jump in. Moreover, there are other troops nearby. Just in case, it is better to act cautiously.
Thinking of this, both sides came up with the idea of retreating.
While playing the harp on the city wall, those with amazing hearing or martial arts masters could hear the sound of the harp coming from the wall in the distance, and they all felt that the sound of the harp was very pleasant.
It is really extraordinary to be able to play the piano to such an advanced level calmly and calmly in front of an enemy with thousands of troops.
After all, the sound played by this kind of piano will change according to one's mood.
Why does "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting" rank Qin first?
This is because the ancients believed that the piano was a way to penetrate the soul. If you play the piano well, you will be a good person.
Whether you are in a bad mood, in a good mood, deep in thought, or in a bright mood, as long as you play the piano, different situations will be reflected.
The ancients believed that the qin was a way to express the "heart" and that the qin was also made for close friends. The qin did not serve the monarch or attend large banquets, but played its greatest value and charm for small gatherings of close friends.
.
Since the qin has such noble virtues, "Qin, Qi, Calligraphy and Painting" ranks the qin as number one. What's wrong with that?
Having said that, Zhuge Liang was able to play the piano to such an extent, which is enough to show that he was not afraid when he played the piano on the top of the city. This caused inexplicable emotions to surge into the hearts of the two enemy camps.
I'm not afraid of this. There must be something more terrifying waiting for me in the city, so that I can rely on you like this, ah!
Let’s withdraw first…
