"When the Holy Dynasty was in decline, many ethnic groups formed their own nations and fought against each other.

Yin Gongziyuan, the commander of the state of Chu, after the death of his brother King Wen of Chu, wanted to possess his beautiful sister-in-law, Mrs. Wen, very much.

He used various methods to curry favor, but Mrs. Wen was indifferent.

So he wanted to establish a meritorious career and show his ability, so as to win the favor of Mrs. Wen.

In a certain year of the Holy Dynasty calendar, Gongzi Yuanqin led 600 military chariots to attack Zheng Guo.

The army of Chu State connected several cities all the way and approached the capital of Zheng State.

Zheng Guo's national strength was weak, and the capital was even more empty, unable to resist the attack of the Chu army.

Zheng Guo was in danger, and the ministers were in a panic, some advocated paying money and asking for peace, some advocated fighting to the death, and some advocated sticking to and waiting for help.

None of these propositions can solve the crisis of the country.

Shangqing Shu Zhan said: 'It is not the best policy to ask for peace and a decisive battle. Sticking to the waitlist is a desirable option. Zheng Guo and Qi State made an alliance, but now that there is a difficulty, Qi State will send troops to help. It's just empty talk, and I'm afraid it's hard to hold on. Gongzi Yuan Fa Zheng actually wanted to invite merit and fame to please Mrs. Wen. He was in a hurry, and he was particularly afraid of failure. I have a plan to retreat from the Chu army. ’

Zheng Guo followed Shu Zhan's strategy and made peace in the city.

Order all the soldiers to lie in ambush so that not a single soldier can be seen by the enemy.

Let the shops open as usual, and the people will come and go as usual, and they will not show a trace of panic.

The gates of the city were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and it appeared to be completely undefended.

The vanguard of the Chu army arrived at the city of Zhengguo, and when they saw this scene, they became suspicious in their hearts.

Gongzi Yuan rushed to the city and felt strange.

He led the generals to look at the high ground outside the city, and saw that the city was indeed empty, but he vaguely saw Zheng Guo's spiral flag armor.

Gongzi Yuan thought that there was fraud in it, and he should not attack rashly, and the advanced city listened to the truth, so he did not move.

At this time, Qi received a letter from Zheng Guo asking for help, and had united Lu and Song to send troops to rescue Zheng.

When Gongzi Yuan heard the report, he knew that the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms had arrived, and the Chu army would not be able to win.

Fortunately, there have been a few victories, so it is better to retreat quickly.

He was afraid that Zheng Guo's army would go out of the city to pursue when he retreated, so he ordered the whole army to withdraw overnight.

All the camps were not demolished, and the clan flag was still flying.

Early the next morning, Shu Zhan took a look at the city and said, 'The Chu army has withdrawn. ’

When everyone saw the banner of the enemy camp and the clan unfurling, they did not believe that the army had withdrawn.

Shu Zhan said: 'If there were people in the camp, how could there be so many birds hovering up and down?' He also deceived me with the empty city plan, and hastily withdrew his troops. ’”

Ji Ning had never heard of the State of Chu, nor had he heard of the State of Zheng, but there was indeed a period of great chaos in the history of the Holy Dynasty.

At that time, countless small nations were born, constantly attacking each other.

Of course, he didn't care about any of that, and he felt that the most subtle thing was the strategy used in this story.

Although bold, but in the actual strategy, risks often coexist with opportunities, interests and success, "do not enter the tiger's den, but get the tiger's boy", the ingenuity of this strategy lies in the fact that we must be good at correctly and timely grasp the other party's strategic background, psychological state, personality characteristics, etc., and solve our own crisis with strange strategies according to time, place, and person.

And right now, the opportunity is just right.

The Northern Desert City is empty, and it is indeed in a weak position.

But Sikong Zun is suspicious, and he does not have absolute control over the army, so in this case, he will never dare to rush into chaos.

In this way, the probability of success is very high.

The original contempt for Ling Xiao instantly turned into admiration.

Ji Ning stood up directly from his seat, and then knelt down on one knee and said: "Just now, I still laughed at Childe's self-righteousness in my heart, but after listening to Childe's words, I admired it very much, I don't know what the name of this strategy is?"

"Empty City Plan!"

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Sikong Zun is not only suspicious, but they are also sleepy at this time, as long as the general arranges reasonably, in the case that he is unable to defend the city, he deliberately exposes the emptiness in our city to the enemy, which is the so-called 'real is real, and what is virtual is empty'."

When the enemy is suspicious, he will hesitate even more, which is the so-called 'suspicion within suspicion'.

can let Sikong Zun and them lead the troops through the Northern Desert City, and then settle in the military camp outside, so that even if Sikong Zun perceives the fact of the empty city plan afterwards, he will be helpless.

Of course, this plan is not 100% successful, once it fails, I am afraid that I will have to fight a bloody battle with the other party in the city, so the combat equipment that should be arranged should still be arranged. ”

"This is natural. ”

Ji Ning nodded.

After everything was arranged, Ling Xiao went out of the city to inform Sikong Zun and asked Sikong Zun to lead his troops into the city.

Even Ji Ning came out to greet him.

Sikong Zun was confused.

Why did Ling Xiao only go in for less than half an hour, and this Ji Ning's attitude had changed so much?

Is there a deceit in the city?

He was already a suspicious character, so when he entered the city, he carefully observed.

It was found that everything was in order in the city, and the people did whatever they wanted, but most of the soldiers were missing.

Faintly, the sound of weapons could be heard, and judging by the sound, I am afraid that the number of people is at least between forty and fifty thousand.

In the event of a conflict, they are the turtles in the urn.

He wanted to make trouble, but now he didn't dare to mess around at all.

"Could it be that the intelligence is wrong? Doesn't it mean that this Northern Desert City is already full of wounded soldiers?"

Despite this thought, Sikong Zun did not dare to act rashly because he did not dare to confirm it.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the army had already left the north gate and arrived at the pass one mile away from the North Desert City.

At this time, it is too late to find out the situation in the city.

"I'm so nervous. ”

Ling Xiao's forehead was already in cold sweat at this time, he said bluntly, it was just a piece of paper, and he really didn't know if Sikong Zun would be fooled.

In fact, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers and generals who can be used in the city, and if they really fight, they will definitely suffer.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly.

Of course, this is also related to Ji Ning's proper arrangement, which perfectly convinced Sikong Zun that there were a large number of soldiers in ambush in the city.

"Hahaha, Childe's clever plan really impresses me. ”

Seeing Sikong Zun settle in the pass, Ji Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The most difficult problem has been solved, and what can not be solved in the future?

"Don't praise me, General, I was really nervous just now. ”

Ling Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After all, if this strategy fails, it will really be doomed.

"It's good if you succeed, that's the case on the battlefield, you can't have a 100% success rate, as long as you have a 30% chance, you have to do it, otherwise you miss the opportunity, and you will regret it." ”

In Ji Ning's opinion, Ling Xiao's move is extremely beautiful, and it is really both civil and military.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a daughter, if he wants to have a daughter, he really has to marry Ling Xiao no matter what.
