Chapter 43: Turning Fake into Reality
To say that I am Zhuge Liang's scholar, that is true.
But I'm a scholar who is also a halfway monk, and before I came to this world, this scholar was a guy who had always been called a lazy boy by Zhuge Liang.
Although I have been by Kong Ming's side for a few years, from the burning of Xinye to the fierce battle of Chibi, I have seen him step by step on the altar. But to guess his mind is not a small challenge for me.
Of course, in addition to Kong Ming's tips, I still have some thoughts of my own about what Shamoke said tonight, but I didn't speculate, I just handed the silk cloth to Ma Jian again, and asked him, "What do you think?" β
Who knew that Ma Tan saw it, but he just smiled and put the silk cloth on the case, and said to me: "I am often shallow in my knowledge, and my understanding of military advisors is not as deep as yours, so you should say it!" β
I found that since Ma Jian left me to stay in Nanjun for a while, I no longer have the arrogance I used to be, and he didn't say a word when he talked about how to break the city for a few days. It's really strange that he doesn't say anything about kicking the ball back to me now. But this is not the time to analyze him, since Liu Bei and Kong Ming both had the intention to let me make meritorious contributions in this battle before I came, it is likely that Ma Jian also had such a mind so that he would not rob me, thinking of this, I said to Zhao Yun: "Actually, this fake is true, which is literal." β
"Then how can it be considered false, and how can it be considered true?" Zhao Yun asked me.
I said to him: "This is naturally what Shamoko said tonight, in my opinion, what Shamoko said should be true, this can be seen from his expression, his excitement is really happy, not like acting at all, not to mention that he and Na Guye have a grudge against his father, and it is impossible for him to lie to us." But the problem lies in the brutes who came to him. β
"Didn't you ask Shamoko if the people were from his tribe? Wei Yan was a little puzzled when he heard this.
"yes, that's what makes it suspicious." I said to Wei Yan: "General Wei, do you think that since you are here to meet inside and outside to attack, should the fewer people who come out and be more hidden, and the more people inside, the more effective it is?" β
"Thisβ" Wei Yan was also a little confused when he heard me say this.
I continued to explain to him, "The reason why Gu Ye sent dozens of people from the old Sha family to meet Shamoke was actually to dispel his doubts. You think, if a man comes, Shamoko can almost immediately wonder if this person has been bought by the bone, and then immediately think of how this person escaped from the heavily guarded city of Ugin. β
Speaking of this, I got up, stood up and walked back and forth in the military tent: "But as soon as the lineup of dozens of people came, they were all really from their own tribe, and this credibility came up all of a sudden, just as the so-called three people are tigers, and everyone is gold, so I can't help but Shamoke's stupid person doesn't believe it!" β
"Then you also asked General Zhao to order Shamoke to prepare, if it is really a trap, wouldn't we be in an ambush by the enemy when we enter the city?" Wei Yan said this to me, and his tone was full of complaints.
I didn't blame him at all, but walked up to his desk with a smile and said to him, "General Wei, don't be busy!" Didn't the military advisor say in his bag that he was going to make the fake come true? If you want to make the fake real, you have to take the fake as the real first! β
Then I told a few people in the account my plan, and when everyone laughed, the show began.
It was night, the sky was slightly cold, I remembered that Cao Cao and Ma Chao were fighting, the village could not stand because of the sand, there was an old man to visit, teaching it the method of pouring water into the ice tree city, and finally breaking the soldiers of Xiliang, and not sighing. I thought to myself, if the south has the cold of the north, I might as well follow suit, and order all the people to secretly pour water under the city overnight to form an ice ladder, and then the city can be broken.
Shamoko was no longer at my side, his men were less than a thousand, and I had heard that some of his previously lost tribes had gathered under his tent in order to put an end to the chaos, and although I could not bear to let these people die in vain, it was still possible to frighten them in order to achieve the effect.
Shamoke asked me why I had only 500 of my own soldiers to join him, and where was General Zhao's army? I told him that General Zhao was afraid that the crowds would not be good for him to hide and be discovered by the people in the city, and that the army was hiding behind a hill five miles behind him, and he was only waiting for his side to enter the city, so he urged his troops to respond.
Believing this, Shamoko raised his weapon and ordered his men to light a fire.
As agreed, shouts of slaughter erupted almost immediately from the top of the city, and several flames appeared to have been ignited.
Shamoko gave the order to attack, and the gates of Ugin City rumbled open just as his troops rushed to the edge of the city.
I could see from afar that the city was in chaos at this time, and the sound of the fierce fighting even made me think that the level of rebellion in the city could be taken without foreign help.
But how could that be!
Shamoko rushed up, and more than a thousand of his men rushed up. But my 500 personal soldiers, including Zheng Liang, did not move.
For a moment, I felt very unbearable, many of Shamoko's men should have wives and children, although they seem to me to be barbarians, barbarians are also human beings, and they should also have the right not to send them to death.
However, this strategy cannot succeed if no one rushes into the city, and there is never a time when war does not shed blood.
I think the bone must have secretly recognized Shamoko in the corner where he was hiding, so he bared his fangs in such a hurry. Just as Shamoko had rushed into the city, and the soldiers who followed him had not yet halfway in, the chaos in the city had ceased almost instantly. I saw the bones laughing at the top of the city, and the soldiers in the city who had been slashing each other earlier rushed towards Shamoko.
And I, watching Shamoko desperately kill out of Ugin City covered in blood, his countless subordinates were all over the field in order to save him, but I could only sigh lightly and order my own soldiers: "Withdraw!" β
In a hurry to chase Shamoko out of the city to kill Shamoko, when he was about to chase Shamoke to the end of the road, he was attacked by the armies of Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who had already been ambushed in advance, and when he fled back, he met me and Zheng Liang, who were already waiting impatiently on the way back to Ugin City.
Because I was in a hurry to rescue Shana, this time I didn't let Zheng Liang go to fight with Na Guye, but immediately adopted a strategy of hugging up. Of course, it was Zheng Liang's kid who finally cut off the head of the bone field, and then the army rushed up to storm Ugin City, after the rebels saw that the human head carried by Zheng Liang's spear was the head of the bone field, the rebels in Ugin City quickly showed a trend of collapse in front of the strong military strength of our army.
Normally, by this time, no matter what city is, I am afraid it will also fall.
