Chapter Forty-Seven: The Plan for the Empty City

Fang Qingze didn't know what the empty city plan was, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on, see and hear, let's talk about it." Zhu Jianwen smiled slightly and said: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, it seems that the people who follow Lu Yunzhi must study first, Bai Yong, you are even more powerful." I may not say it is good, but you can explain to you what all this is all about. ”

Bai Yong replied, "Okay, then I'll say it." Guo Chong's "Five Things about Zhuge Liang" has one, which was later adapted by Luo Guanzhong, and was written as a lost street pavilion, Sima Yi's army killed to the west city, Zhuge Liang had no soldiers available, so he deliberately opened the city gate, let the old and weak soldiers wander in the city, and led the child to sit on the city tower and laugh at the army attacking. Zhuge Liang never took risks in his life, Sima Yi was afraid of fraud and did not dare to attack the city, so he ordered the army to retreat, and the text said that this was an empty city plan. In fact, it's all nonsense, there is no such thing in history, but the lord said that reading should be lived and learned, so this time he gave Yu Qian an empty city plan. ”

"What do you mean to say that my third brother opened the city gate and made Yu Qian think that he had no soldiers to defend Bazhou? This is too risky, if there is a report from the captured defenders of Bazhou, or if a sentry scout detects the true military situation of Bazhou, it will be troublesome, it is too dangerous, reckless and reckless, Yu Qian is not stupid, maybe he also knows what empty city plan you are talking about, and when the third brother is besieged by the army, what should it be. Fang Qingze said with concern.

Tan Qing replied in a coquettish voice at this moment: "What Bai Yong said just now is to learn and apply, not to copy and do. Naturally, it will not be like the description in the book, if you also sit at the head of the city and laugh at the army, you will not run away when the time comes. Before I helped him, Lu Yunzhi declared to the public that I had surrendered to him, Yu Qian had the world in mind, but he was a little suspicious. As soon as the news of Lu Yunzhi came out, and the news of my previous capture must have reached Yu Qian's ears, Yu Qian was naturally convinced that even if I returned to him, Yu Qian would take more precautions against me. There is also a foreshadowing of the past between us, if I don't submit to Lu Yunzhi, then Yu Qian will not reuse me. Of course, at first, I didn't want to hang Yu Qian in this lesson, and now of course I don't want to obey Lu Yunzhi's orders, I just want to protect myself and fight for the future survival of my Miao Gu line, so I stood on Lu Yun's side, which one is more reliable, fake loyalty or self-preservation, I don't need to say that everyone should know. Later, when Yu Qian sent a small group of soldiers from the five military battalions to attack Bazhou, Lu Yunzhi persuaded my disciples to fight for him, although I didn't show up, Yu Qian didn't dare to attack rashly. The Qi Imperial Master plus the specially trained warriors, now we are in the Miao Gu lineage again, and there are tens of thousands of troops who dare to attack. ”

Everyone looked at Tan Qing and listened to her continue: "After that, Lu Yunzhi talked to me a few times, and I decided to help him. After he made the strategy of emptying the city, Bai Yong and I were also shocked, but the more we listened to his arrangement, the more we admired. Lu Yunzhi looked at the people first, and saw that there was such a bold and cunning captive, so he separated and locked up in a private house in the east of the city and a private house in the west of the city. Then to the outside of the city to make it look like there were no soldiers in the city, Yu Qian sent troops to investigate and found that the situation was not as it seemed, so he naturally would not attack. After finding a night to make a sound, the prisoners held in the east and west of the city were awakened, and Bai Yong led the army out from the east of the city, and then marched into the city from the west of the city under the pretense of lurking at night. Find an opportunity to let go of the former Bazhou guards imprisoned in these two places, as I said before, most of these people are bold and cunning, and they took a fancy to the news they saw at night, and hurriedly asked the court for merit and reward. After Yu Qian learned of this news, he would definitely make a judgment that Lu Yunzhi was planning to empty the city and pretend to be a soldier. After that, there was often silence in Bazhou City, and the sound of killing shook the sky from time to time, and there was a Gu array laid by me outside, of course, the operator of this array was not me, and now it was just an ordinary disciple of mine who was taking care of it. But these are enough, everything is a ** formation, so Yu Qian doesn't know what Lu Yunzhi is going to do, so he will never attack Bazhou. In the end, we really went out of the city quietly, and rushed all the way to support."

"Well, so now that you help us break the enemy army, Yu Qian will soon know the number of people you have left the city, and thus judge the fact that there are no soldiers available in Bazhou City, so you want us to lead the army to rescue quickly, right?" The leopard said.

Bai Yong smiled at the leopard, a little embarrassed by the dispute just now, and said to the leopard at this moment: "That's right, but it's not only that, because Yu Qian is now gathering forces from all sides to prepare for a decisive battle in the capital, and if we arrange it on the periphery of the capital as soon as possible, we will be able to curb the arrival of armies from all over the city as soon as possible." The soldiers are fast, and my lord wants to fight quickly. ”

The army of King Qin in Jinan Mansion has been assembled, and the army marches in the direction of Bazhou, Fang Qingze Zhu saw and heard that the leopard and Zhu Qi led the troops forward, and the rest of the generals and vassal kings escorted the heavy grain and grass, and it is estimated that they can also set off after two or three hours. Each soldier of the Qinwang Army only carried three days' rations on the road, after all, there were many merchants in Qingze along the way, which was equivalent to bringing a mobile granary.

On the way, Fang Qingze asked Bai Yong: "If we gather the strength of Bazhou and the imperial court, there is still a big difference, the defense of the capital is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is more than enough to protect ourselves with our troops, but if we want to attack forcibly, we must wait for my siege equipment to arrive, and we must wait for my eldest brother to bring troops before it can be implemented." My eldest brother Qu Xiangtian is confronting the Nanjing side, and the Nanjing military department holds heavy power, and all the troops in the south are under his control, and it is difficult to take it for a while. If we move south, we may be able to win a quick victory by attacking together, but if we abandon it now, I'm afraid that my eldest brother's support for the capital will drag on for a few months. ”

Bai Yong smiled and replied: "Second Master Fang, don't worry, my lord is free to arrange, Ah Rong and Dong De have already been sent to Nanjing to seek work. After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, and when they saw Bai Yongcheng's appearance in their chests, they were all relieved, thinking that Lu Yunyi must have a clever plan to help Qu Xiangtian break the defenders of Nanjing.

Qu Xiangtian has been sending troops for more than two months, leading 80,000 troops to come, it can be said that he is pouring out, Nanjing has hoarded 100,000 troops at the moment, and after more than ten days of onslaught, the battle situation has improved. At this moment, there was turmoil in Annan, and Qu Xiangtian sent his general Guangliang to bring 30,000 soldiers and horses back to Annan to suppress it, and the war situation returned to a stalemate of confrontation.
