It's just that from beginning to end, Liu Cong didn't say anything, nor did he stop it, because the situation forced him, coupled with the confidence in Fa Zheng, Liu Cong could only choose to believe, hoping that Fa Zheng could successfully win Niyang and defeat Xu Huang this time. As long as Xu Huang is defeated, Fa Zheng and Guan Yu's soldiers can be united, and they can divide their troops to meet Cao Zhang, who may be reinforced, or they can make a detour to Luyang to encircle Wancheng and cut off Wancheng's supply line, and the benefits are naturally enough to be worth the risk.

After Fa Zheng left, Liu Cong immediately shrank the only remaining troops, and there were only 15,000 people left when they were full of battles, and this little bit of soldiers and horses was not enough to defend the city, let alone deal with Sima Yi.

Therefore, because of the lack of troops, Liu Cong did not continue to attack Sima Yi, but if it was abnormal, it would not be good to arouse Sima Yi's suspicion, so Liu Cong began to take the strategy of doubting the army, and constantly set up suspicious formations ten miles away from Wancheng, where Sima Yi was stationed, erected more flags, and covered people's eyes and ears, and then began to make a big noise, gongs and drums sounded in unison, looking ready to attack at any time.

Although this method is effective, the effect is not long, what kind of person is Sima Yi, a ghost and a ghost, although he did not immediately see the flaws, but Liu Cong's abnormal performance has already made him suspicious.

After a day, Liu Cong's soldiers and horses still looked like they were about to fight and did not move, Sima Yi finally realized the problem and began to send soldiers and horses out of the city to test.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sima Yi's soldiers and horses left the city, Liu Cong's side immediately began to sing gold, and the army withdrew to Deng County like a sea tide.

After getting the news, Sima Yi was stunned for a long time, and even the feather fan he often held in his hand fell to the ground because of the trembling of his hand. Then, Sima Yi seemed to think of something, his face was shocked, and then a kind of surprise and regret were mixed in his eyes.

Surprisingly, Sima Yi could determine that Liu Cong definitely didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and the reason must be that he had drawn a large number of troops to deal with Xu Huang in Nieyang; What regrets is that Sima Yi has only figured out the problem now, because of a moment of hesitation, he wasted a day and a night, in this day's time, as long as Sima Yi is vigorous, he can swallow Liu Cong's only remaining soldiers and horses, but at this time, he regrets it and does not grasp the real opportunity.

Liu Cong's army attacked Xu Huang a day ago, and it was too late for Sima Yi to shoot reinforcements at this time, and if he really wanted to send troops from Wancheng to reinforce Nieyang, wouldn't it cause Wancheng to be empty, once the reinforcements were intercepted in the middle, it would cause the two cities to be empty, and Liu Cong took the opportunity to enter. Therefore, Sima Yi did not plan to take the risk of reinforcing Nieyang, but the Han army sent heavy troops to attack Nieyang, and the Chinese army must be empty, if he did not take the opportunity to give the Chinese army a blow, he would be isolated when Xu Huang was defeated.

"Order, the army can go out and send troops to Deng County!" Sima Yi, who hated the stumbling of his footing, had an indescribably gloomy face, and at this time he had a feeling of being tricked, and he couldn't wait to break the corpses of the people who made the suspicious array into pieces now. This is also the first time he has taken the initiative to attack in Wancheng, he wants to fight the time difference, attack Deng County before Liu Cong's army returns, no matter what success or failure, he must return to Wancheng as soon as possible to garrison. If Liu Cong is in Deng County, it will definitely make the Han army feel very confused, and greatly deter the surrounding Han army, so that it can also effectively support Xu Huang.

As soon as the order was given, the generals of the Wei army, who had been extremely aggrieved for several days, were like a stimulant, looking like they were sharpening their knives and looking hungry and thirsty.

These days, because of Sima Yi's order not to fight, the Wei soldiers who should have charged on the battlefield were harmed, but they had suffered enough and eaten all their pockets, and now as soon as they heard Sima Yi's order to go to battle, they couldn't wait to go down and arrange the soldiers and horses. Eagerly looking forward to entering Deng County and completely annihilating the Han army in Deng County.

Almost soon, Sima Yi led the army to set off in a mighty manner, and immediately the troops came to the city of Dengxian, but the scene in front of him made Sima Yi and a group of Wei soldiers and all the soldiers behind him stunned.

Why? Because they saw all the gates of Deng County open at this moment, empty and guarded, and even the drawbridges were neatly placed, as if to welcome their arrival.

When he looked up, even Sima Yi, who should have been very steady, was shocked, the city tower was full of flags, but there was not a single soldier in sight, and it could be said that it completely presented the appearance of an empty city.

Wait a minute! Empty City Scheme!

Sima Yi had a flash of inspiration, and a flash of realization flashed on his very moved and shocked face, and then he sneered again and again, and then laughed out loud. He has always been worried that Cao Zhang's words are untrustworthy, if he ignores the overall situation at this time and leads his troops and horses directly to Yecheng, then Cao Pi will not be able to free up his hands to mobilize reinforcements to support the front line, so Sima Yi and Xu Huang have been worried these days.

Now Xu Huang is in danger, and Sima Yi must win a big victory in Deng County to be able to stabilize the situation quickly. The battle situation in Nanyang can be said to be of great importance to the entire Great Wei State. Victory, cutting off the Han army's attack in the middle can also deter Cao Zhang and other self-respecting generals. Defeat could lead to a rapid siege of Xuchang by the Han army on three fronts, and Cao Chang could also continue to rebel.

Sima Yi knew this, he naturally thought that Liu Cong was also an excellent military strategist, and naturally knew the importance of the Nanyang battle situation, but why would he give up Deng County so rashly? So Sima Yi could only hide his emotions by laughing, while racking his brains to think of a way to deal with it.

Xu Chu, who was still in surprise, saw Sima Yi laughing, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhongda, what are you laughing at?" ”

Sima Yi shook the feather fan lightly, looking like a jade tree facing the wind, very elegant and gentle, coupled with a set of soft armor on his body, his whole body exuded a masculine aura, it can be said that he is a beautiful man who has fascinated thousands of women. If Zhou Yu is still alive and sees Sima Yi like this, he may feel the pressure, this wise man's demeanor is straight to Zhou Gongjin back then!

"General Xu, Liu Cong knew that he was invincible, so he put a suspicious plan in front of us yesterday, and now the city gate is wide open, without any guards, so we mistakenly think that there is an ambush in the city, and we don't dare to act rashly, who knows that his empty city plan is just a joke in my eyes!"

Among the generals, only Cao Xiu and Xu Chu can be regarded as old and calm, and they dare not take it lightly, so after listening to Sima Yi's words, they all showed a sudden meaning, but the other generals did not think so much, such as the short-tempered Chen Wu and Xiahou Ba just thinking about Yixue shame, if it weren't for Sima Yi's authority, I am afraid that they would have rushed into the city with soldiers and horses.

"Since Liu Cong is just pretending, let's kill it now. No matter how many people there are in his city, we will directly annihilate the Han army in Deng County! Xiahouba's face was slightly red, and he said excitedly.

Sima Yi nodded, and was about to give the order for the whole army to enter the city, but he saw an abnormality in front of him, only to see several elderly soldiers appear in the city, ignoring the nearly 10,000 enemy troops in front of him, holding a broom, and sweeping the dust under him with a somewhat clumsy figure.

"This, this, this ......" Cao Xiu's face changed slightly, and he was speechless for a while at the scene in front of him.

"Liu Cong'er dares to look down on us so much, ahhh I can't stand it! Xiahou Ba yelled, and then slapped the horse's buttocks with the back of the knife, but the knife rushed towards the city gate.

"General Xiahou can't!" Sima Yi wanted to stop it, but it was too late, Xiahou Ba had already stepped into the suspension bridge, and he could rush into the city in the blink of an eye.

Although Sima Yi wanted to come to the city, although there were not many soldiers and horses, it was also full of dangers, and Xiahou Ba went alone, I was afraid that it would be very difficult, so he simply ordered the army to attack the city.

However, before Sima Yi finished speaking, the mutation happened again, and an arrow shot down from the city tower, just shooting not far from Xiahouba rushing forward, Xiahouba hurriedly reined in the reins of the horse, and looked at the city head in surprise, only to see two more figures on the city at some point.

"It turned out to be Liu Cong!" Although Sima Yi was prepared, he was still a little surprised, he knew that Liu Cong arrived in Deng County, but he didn't expect to stay in the empty city? You must know that he is the son of the Han Dynasty, doesn't he have enough soldiers and horses to protect him? This is too unreasonable, and it doesn't fit Liu Cong's character? If Liu Cong was just a county guard, he might be able to explain it, but he was the Son of Heaven after all?

Using the Son of Heaven as bait? Isn't that a bit of a risk? Sima Yi had another burst of doubts. There have been so many things that don't make sense in the past two days. Originally, Liu Cong had the advantage of troops in the Nanyang area, but they wanted to send heavy troops to besiege Nieyang, and then attract themselves out of the city to fight?

Liu Cong put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and then sat on the big chair that had been prepared a long time ago, with his feet on Erlang's legs, his body leaned back slightly, with a flat smile on his face, and behind him was also his personal bodyguard, and he was also the commander of the army, Zhao Yun.

In the face of thousands of troops and horses under the city, Liu Cong was not afraid, and since he appeared, he has shown a light-hearted, leisurely and complacent posture from beginning to end, this kind of performance even Sima Yi secretly admired, and his heart also rose to the feeling that I was not as good as him.

"Sima Zhongda, don't come unharmed! Ha ha! Liu Cong took the tea that had been prepared next to him, ignored the thousands of eyes projected on the other side, snorted, and drank it cleanly. The last time I met Sima Yi was when Xinye repelled Cao Pi's 30,000 tigers and leopards, and Sima Yi, who joined the army at that time, saw Liu Cong's tricks, using infantry to deal with cavalry, and he actually dared to fight in formation!

Sima Yi had a strong pride on his face, and shouted softly to Liu Cong on the city tower: "Liu Cong'er, you don't have to pretend, I have seen through your empty city plan, as long as you surrender with interest, I, Sima Yi, swear to heaven that I will not embarrass you." ”

Liu Cong still had a smile on his lips, but he was also shocked when he heard Sima Yi directly explain that he had seen through his plan.

That's right, this empty city plan was conceived by Liu Cong, and he wanted to follow the example of Zhuge Liang in history to scare Sima Yi away, and scare Sima Yi away according to the script. Looking at Sima Yi's smile downstairs that saw through the success of the conspiracy, the corners of Liu Cong's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that if he didn't show some real skills, he would definitely not be able to scare Sima Yi away. However, since Sima Yi stopped, it means that he still has some concerns, as long as he does enough of the scene, he will definitely be fooled according to his suspicious character.
