Chapter 168: Wise Retreat Zhang Yan

"Huh? What the? ”

"This, this, let Zhang Yan leave without a fight? How is this possible? ”

Listening to Liu He's words, all the civil and military forces were shocked, with a look of disbelief, even Hao Zhao, Wang Ling and Guo Huai looked at Liu He in disbelief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

They originally thought that Liu He's promotion of their military rank was to encourage them to be loyal desperately, although they also understood this, and they were all ready to sacrifice, but they didn't expect that the truth was not the case.

"Haha, I have a plan in mind." Liu He smiled mysteriously, and instructed the civil officials at all levels in the tent not to panic, just keep busy with their own affairs in the county guard's mansion, and wait until those people retired and left, Liu He said to Hao Zhao, Wang Ling and Guo Huai: "I will assign you 500 people next, and you will open the city gate with these 500 people in a while......"

With such an order, Liu He asked the three of them to take five hundred people and do what they were told.

"Will this work?" The three of them looked at each other, puzzled, although they were famous sages in history, but now their attributes have not reached their peak, and they are basically late bloomers, and their current intelligence is not high, so it is naturally difficult to understand Liu He's intentions, but this does not prevent them from seriously implementing it, so they almost did not think about it, and still did as Liu He ordered.

"What? Open the gates and lower the drawbridge? This, this, what the hell is our lord doing? After hearing about what happened at the city gate, some of the civil officials in the city all changed their faces, shocked and frightened, if it wasn't for Liu He's strict order not to allow them to go near the city wall, it is estimated that they would definitely run over to see what happened.

But despite this, they also secretly made up their minds that if the city was really broken by Zhang Yan, they would have to wronged themselves again and surrender to Zhang Yan.

Hao Zhao and the three of them were also worried, not because they were worried about their lives, but because they were worried that the city would be easily breached, and Jinyang City, which was finally recovered by the official army, would fall into the hands of thieves again.

"You're all veterans, so you don't need me to talk about it, do you? The head is no bigger than a scar, it's not a big deal at all, and I'm with you, so don't be afraid, let's die together. ”

The three of them divided into three groups and said to their respective subordinates.

"Hehe, isn't it just sprinkling and sweeping the city gates? Our brothers have done a lot of this before, but they really haven't swept the city gate in front of tens of thousands of enemy troops, so we have caught up with such a face-showing thing, how can we not do it well? ”

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, we will definitely do this well."

……

After listening to Hao Zhao's order, those soldiers not only did not fear, but showed a little excitement.

After Hao Zhao and the others deployed under the city step by step, Zhang Yan led an army of 70,000 to arrive.

"Huh? What's going on? Seeing the scene of some people at the gate of the city quietly sprinkling and sweeping, completely ignoring his tens of thousands of troops, Zhang Yan was suddenly puzzled and did not dare to order an attack without authorization.

At this moment, suddenly there was a melodious sound of the piano in the city.

Zhang Yan looked up and saw Liu He playing the piano elegantly at the head of the city.

"What's going on here? Liu He opened all the city gates this time, but he was playing the piano at the head of the city, what kind of conspiracy was he playing? ”

Zhang Yan looked at Liu He who was playing the piano at the head of the city, and then looked at the calm people under the city, he could naturally see that those people were all dressed as sergeants, but it was precisely because he could see that he was extremely cautious in his heart.

"Marshal, since the other party's city gate is wide open, it will save us a lot of trouble, so let's directly lead the army to attack." Seeing this, Zhang Fan, the captain of the pro-soldiers beside Zhang Yan, hurriedly spoke.

saw Zhang Yan shook his head, and said, "Zhang Fan, you are wrong, hehe, can't you see that there is weirdness in this?" Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that these people are dressed as sergeants, and it is precisely because of this that we should be careful, because this is Liu He's tricks, the way of the art of war, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, in my mind, it must be the military horses of Youzhou that have been transferred into the city, this Liu He has laid down heavy troops in the city, waiting for us to go in, as long as we go in, the other party will ambush the soldiers, and at that time, we will have no place to escape even if we escape. ”

When Zhang Yan said this, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she was besieged by Liu He and almost captured alive after she led the army to escape from the party, and she strengthened her thoughts.

"Hiss....... it turns out that this Liu He is so sinister." When Zhang Baiqi heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and said with palpitations.

Bai Que also nodded, agreeing with Zhang Baiqi's statement.

"Yes, Liu He, this little thief, is not very strong in combat, but the most hateful thing is insidious and cunning, fortunately, I, Zhang Yan, am not stupid, I saw through his tricks at a glance, hum, you want me to be fooled, I am not fooled, pass my order, the army will temporarily retreat, and wait until I hear the truth in the city clearly." Zhang Yan sighed and gave the order to retreat.

At this time, the sound of the piano in the city suddenly stopped, but Liu He's voice came: "Zhang Yan, you are a guest from afar, since you have arrived in my Taiyuan, why don't you come in and rest?" I'd like you to enjoy my new composition. ”

"Hmph, you set up an ambush in the city, when I don't know? If you really let me enjoy the music, I can wait until I capture the city and capture you, and I will let you play the piano for me every day. ”

Zhang Yan snorted, got on the horse, and then slowly retreated, but he didn't see a smile on the corner of Liu He's mouth on the opposite city tower.

"This, this, is it really gone?" Seeing Zhang Yan leading the crowd to retreat, Hao Zhao, Wang Ling and Guo Huai all had admiration on their faces, and they felt that the scene in front of them was like a dream, and the sergeants who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping at the city gate were even more dumbfounded, they were even ready to die, but they didn't expect Zhang Yan's army to retreat like this.

"I don't know what the master's trick is?" Chen Zhi was also impressed, dizzy for a long time, and finally asked.

"Empty City Scheme." Liu He looked at Zhang Yan's departing back and said very casually.

"Empty city? Sure enough, a good name. Hearing this name, even Xun You and Guo Jia were dazzled, and since then the strategy of "empty city plan" has been written into the annals of history: "In the summer and April of the second year of Xingping of the Han Dynasty, Tai and Zu retreated Zhang Yan in Taiyuan with empty city strategy, and since then, the name of empty city plan has been heard in the world......"
