In the early morning, Hangzhou was shrouded in a layer of mist, and the Taiping troops under the city could only faintly see the yellow robes on their bodies, but how many people could not see their heads at a glance.

Hangzhou General Ruichang sat on the city tower with Yang Xiaoshan in fear, looking down at the city from time to time.

"If the general is worried, he can go back to Mancheng first." Yang Xiaoshan saw that he was restless, and he felt sorry for him.

"How can the last general let Lord Yushi defend Hangzhou alone? It's a joke to get out. "Ruichang is afraid of his own face, after all, Hangzhou itself is the main general, Yang Xiaoshan is just a guest, how can the host throw the guests outside as a shield?

"Well, I have long heard that West Lake Longjing tea is famous all over the world, and Qianlong Ye is especially fond of it. Come, let's have tea together. Yang Xiaoshan pulled Ruichang and sat down.

"When do you still drink tea?" Ruichang's heart was up and down, and he didn't have the heart to drink tea at all.

"General don't worry, everything is in Chang's calculations." Yang Xiaoshan poured him a cup of tea.

Longjing tea is emerald green in color, rich in aroma, mellow and refreshing, shaped like a bird's tongue, that is, it has the characteristics of "color green, fragrant, sweet taste, and beautiful shape". The rich fragrance of tea filled the entire city tower, and Yang Xiaoshan praised: "It really deserves to be the first of the top ten famous teas, and I want people to taste it immediately." ”

Ruichang on the side didn't pay attention to the tea at all, he looked at the city wall full of flags and couldn't help but ask Yang Xiaoshan: "Lord Yushi is light and poor, but he doesn't arrange soldiers to stand on the city wall, why is this?" ”

"General, don't worry, you'll find out later." Yang Xiaoshan said to Ruichang and said secretly in his heart: "This is a play arranged for you." ”

Li Xiucheng under the city looked at the city tower, although he saw two figures, but their appearance was not clear.

Because according to the previous agreement, he had to get Yang Xiaoshan's signal to attack the city, and he also knew that it was a bit early to attack the city. The spies he arranged on the border of Zhejiang had not yet discovered that Hechun's rescuers were coming. He didn't know what to do now, he didn't fight, he didn't fight.

"Long-haired sent someone to call the battle, should we hang up the battle exemption card?" Ruichang saw the movement under the city and hurriedly reminded Yang Xiaoshandao.

Yang Xiaoshan didn't raise his head, and continued to drink tea: "Open the city gate." ”

Now, no matter how stupid Ruichang is, he knows that this is an empty city plan. This plan is only available in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, can this be done?

"My lord, this is too risky, what if they rush in directly?" Ruichang felt that Yang Xiaoshan's plan was too risky.

"The general is not afraid, your mount is still tied under the city tower, and it is too late to go to the city." Yang Xiaoshan deliberately teased him.

"Lord Yushi, don't be kidding, this is a matter of life and death." Ruichang was so nervous that he was sweating, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.

"Open the door, and let the brethren go out of the city and sweep the floor in disguise as people." Yang Xiaoshan explained.

So Ruichang stubbornly acted according to Yang Xiaoshan's orders.

A hundred old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers pretended to be ordinary people, sweeping the floors inside and outside the city, walking and walking, one by one so nervous that they couldn't do it, and they didn't look like normal people at all.

Yang Xiaoshan didn't care at all, this scene was made for Ruichang to see, so his actions were just to fool him.

Ruichang saw that the Taiping Army did not come forward, so he made up his mind, and took care of Yang Xiaoshan and said: "Do we arrange for a guzheng to come over and play the game, isn't it written in the book?" ”

Yang Xiaoshan glanced at him, feeling that this Ruichang was really a military idiot, and couldn't help but smile: "Can the general play the piano?" ”

"No!" Ruichang scratched his head and said.

"Chang won't either!" Yang Xiaoshan smiled.

"What then? Would you like to bring in a luthier? "Ruichang has made up his mind to talk on paper and read according to the script.

"It doesn't matter, Chang can compose poems, and you can retreat from the enemy by reciting a poem." Yang Xiaoshan took out an earthen horn that had been prepared in advance.

"Will this work?" Yang Xiaoshan's style made Ruichang completely unimaginable.

"Won't you know if you read it?" Yang Xiaoshan cleared his throat, and then shouted into the loudspeaker: "Independent cold autumn, Xiangjiang River to the north, orange island head." Look at the mountains red all over, the forests are dyed; The river is clear and transparent, and hundreds of boats compete for the stream. The eagle strikes the sky, the fish soars to the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost compete freely. Confused, ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs? Bring hundreds of couples to travel, reminiscing about the past eventful years. Just a young classmate, in his prime; The scholar was angry and scolded Fang Xuan. Pointing to the country, inspiring words, the dung was ten thousand households. Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the stream, the waves curb the flying boat? ”

This poem was read out, others didn't understand, but Li Xiucheng understood, this poem was created by Yang Xiaoshan in Orange Island in Changsha himself, and he was also one of the witnesses, and then he also wrote this poem, framed it, and put it in his tent to enjoy. (See Chapter 160)

The poem on the opposite side was read, although Li Xiucheng couldn't see the appearance of the people on the city tower clearly through the fog, he knew 100% that it was Yang Xiaoshan who was giving him a signal.

Yang Xiaoshan recited the poem while playing his hand from the inside out, which clearly meant not to come over.

Li Xiucheng understood that it was too early to attack the city at this time, so he immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the camp outside the city to rest.

Seeing the team of long-haired people retreating, Ruichang looked stupid. "Lord Yushi, your empty city plan is too good, how could they retreat?"

Yang Xiaoshan couldn't tell him that he was in the same group as the people outside, so he could only forcibly find an explanation and tell him: "We planted so many flags, but no one stood guard, and took the initiative to open the city gate. ”

"High, really high!" Ruichang believed this explanation and gave a thumbs up in admiration. This battle is too fairy, this cow can brag for a lifetime, and he is also a party.

"This empty city plan can only be set up once, and the general still hurried to urge Lord He to send reinforcements to support. Today's plan can only be delayed for a little time, and when the long hair comes back, they will still come to attack the city. "Yang Xiaoshan still needs Ruichang to urge Hechun and bring troops over.

"Yes, yes, the last general has already sent several urgent letters for help to Lord He, he will not die without help, he will definitely come." Ruichang is answering, but also comforting himself.

Yang Xiaoshan looked at him with a smile, he also very much hoped that He Chun would send troops to rescue him as soon as possible. This outer city must be captured by Tai Ping, after all, the Taiping army has traveled so far, no matter how you say it, you have to enter the city to replenish it. However, he couldn't completely defeat it, and he had to borrow Ruichang's mouth to leave these reinforcements in Hangzhou City.

Therefore, this siege of Wei to save Zhao seems simple, but the scale inside must be grasped very well in order to achieve the final ideal ending.
