Chapter 179: Empty City Strategy
"General Zhang, their city gate is wide open, let's go in. The deputy general next to Zhang He said hurriedly after seeing the city gate being opened.
Zhang He was actually very excited when he saw the city gate open, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the other party dared to open the city gate so grandly with 50,000 people, there must be a fraud!
In the midst of repeated thoughts, Zhang He was also paying attention to the dynamics of everyone on the city tower, he saw Tian Yu and Liu Yu each with a cigar, a leisurely look, while Lei Tai was sitting on a high place drinking tea, his demeanor was more calm, and he even occasionally teased the maids around him......
Seeing such a scene, Zhang He's brows furrowed even tighter, and he didn't know how to make a decision, but the deputy general beside him was not afraid, and said menacingly: "General, they must be bluffing, deliberately acting for us to see, we will kill it, and we will definitely capture the three actors upstairs alive." ”
"Don't be reckless, I've long heard that Tian Yu is scheming, and the new Youzhou Mu is not an idle person, so it's better to be careful. Zhang He said with a worried look.
The deputy general looked even more anxious and said: "Most of the troops in Youzhou City are fighting in Liaodong, and the rest of the troops are mainly concentrated in the northern region, but they have been blocked by us halfway, and they can't rush here at all, as for the soldiers and horses of other counties, I'm afraid they add up to thousands of people, even if they are all here, what are we afraid of?"
Zhang He naturally understands the truth in this, but in the face of this situation, he wants to think carefully before making a decision, and now with the reminder of the deputy general around him, he also began to suspect that Lei Tai was "acting" for himself.
Gradually, Zhang He's army began to be restless, looking eager to try,
Lei Tai also noticed the change in the atmosphere in the other camp, and knew that if he continued like this, it would be difficult to deceive Zhang He's eyes.
So Lei Tai took the zither out of the storage space and placed it on the table in front of him......
[Surprise from Tian Yu +6]
[Surprise from Liu Yu +6]
"Lord, where did you get the guzheng?" Tian Yu asked.
"Can you handle it?" said Leitai, stroking the qin.
Zhang Hegang, who was in the distance, wanted to give the order to attack the city, and when he saw that Lei Tai was about to play the qin, he was puzzled again, and his eyes stared at Lei Tai on the top of the city tower without blinking.
Lei Tai put his hand on the piano and said with a smile: "A song of Guangling San is dedicated to everyone." ”
After that, the beautiful tones spread along with Lei Tai's fingers and first entered the ears of Tian Yu and Liu Yu and others, and when these people heard these tones, they involuntarily stopped what they were doing and began to listen carefully to this beautiful music.
The music continued to spread, and soon entered the ears of more than 50,000 people led by Zhang He under the city tower......
Only the deputy general beside Zhang He was never able to enter the state, and continued to shout: "General, don't hesitate any longer, let's go in." ”
Zhang He was originally intoxicated by the music, and even his fingers involuntarily followed the rhythm and swayed, after hearing the deputy general's reminder, he immediately came back to his senses and clenched his weapon tightly.
However, when Zhang He just wanted to raise the weapon in his hand and shout to attack, he only felt that a fierce sword aura suddenly flew over his head, and when he looked back, the flagpole of the flag behind him had been broken into two......
Zhang He looked in the direction where this sword qi was flying, and except for seeing Lei Tai on the city tower, he didn't see any suspicious characters.
Just when Zhang He was surprised, the helmet of the lieutenant general beside him was also knocked to the ground by the sword qi, and then the other dozen or so soldiers also had continuous sword wounds on their bodies, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Zhang He's army began to stir, and waves of surprise already explained the uneasiness in their hearts.
Just after Zhang He turned around and said to his subordinates, "Don't panic", he was also hit by a sword on his helmet, although the powerful impact did not hurt his body, but knocked the helmet to the ground, Zhang He's hair instantly scattered, looking extremely unbearable......
"Retreat, retreat...... Quickly withdraw ......" Zhang He shouted at his subordinates heartbreakingly, and he immediately rode his horse and ran in the direction he came......
It didn't take long for Zhang He's troops to all evacuate Jixian, and Lei Tai and the others were finally safe.
Liu Yu stared at Zhang He who was far away, and then looked at Lei Tai, who looked like he was doing nothing, and said happily: "The lord's empty city plan is really wonderful, and the minister really admires it very much!"
"Yes, my lord, your empty city plan just took advantage of the weakness of the other party's cautiousness, and it is really like a god!" Tian Yu also praised beside him, and then said with a little loss on his face: "I just didn't expect that such a beautiful piece of music as Guangling San could hurt people, this is really surprising to me." ”
"It's not Guangling San who hurts people, it's the Six-Vein Divine Sword. Retai explained.
The predicament of Jixian County was solved, and Yuan Shao's army, which prevented the Yellow Turban Army from coming to aid in the north, also withdrew, and the entire Youzhou returned to calm.
The Liaodong region had also been pacified, and Leitai's sphere of influence had expanded to areas adjacent to Goguryeo.
After capturing Gongsun Du's soldiers, the number of Lei Tai's army had reached 110,000 at this time.
After that, Lei Tai rewarded Zhang Rao as the general of Zhenbei, and led 30,000 horses to defend the northern frontier.
Jang Yanfeng was appointed as the general of the expedition to the east, commanding 50,000 men and horses, and was responsible for conquering the neighboring kingdoms of Goguryeo, as well as Silla and Baekje.
Tian Yu is a thief general, responsible for the expedition to Jizhou, in order to take revenge on Yuan Shao, in order to relieve the hatred in Lei Tai's heart, try to ask who is willing to fight with others, but behind the back, but someone sneak attack, and the person who attacked himself was not originally an enemy, but Yuan Shao, a pastor of Jizhou who also belonged to the imperial court.
In order to lay a good mass foundation for sending troops to Jizhou, Liu Yu asked people to write an article listing dozens of Yuan Shao's crimes, which were widely disseminated......
One of the charges is that Yuan Shao has wolf ambitions and has been fighting against the imperial court, but after Dong Zhuo knew about this crime, he immediately supported Lei Tai in the name of the imperial court, and promised to divide all the territories to Lei Tai after breaking through Jizhou.
Dong Zhuo's remarks in the name of the imperial court gave Lei Tai a very big legitimacy to send troops to Jizhou, and it seemed that he was helping Lei Tai.
But Lei Tai also knew that Dong Zhuo actually wanted to use Lei Tai's knife to exterminate Yuan Shao, after all, since the princes of the Eighteenth Route formed the alliance against Dong, Yuan Shao has always been the marshal of this alliance and has become the vanguard of the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
And even after the collapse of the alliance against Dong, Yuan Shao never reconciled with Dong Zhuo, and fought against Dong Zhuo for a long time, which made Dong Zhuo want to kill him all the time.
Now with these sparks rubbing between Lei Tai and Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to stir up trouble and encourage Lei Tai to exterminate Yuan Shao naturally became the preferred method.
Lei Tai doesn't care so much, anyway, crusading against Yuan Shao was originally his next step, and now with the support of the imperial court, it is even more handy.
