Jin.

North State.

This place is close to the border of the Jin Kingdom.

Zhuge Liang is supervising the delivery of logistics grain and grass in the county seat of Beizhou.

He wanted to send all the grain and grass in Beizhou County to the rear, because here would soon be broken by the combined forces of Duanguo and Tang.

Some soldiers are very puzzled by Zhuge Liang's approach, because as long as they resist with a little heart, in fact, Beizhou County will not be lost, as long as they wait for the rear army to rush to help, relying on the materials in the city, they can hold out for a long time.

During this period of time, no matter how bad it is, it can be left alone, and there is a glimmer of hope that Beizhou will not be lost, so why not do it?

People in the world say that the prime minister does not lose to the deceased Cao Laoguo in marching and fighting, but the days have passed for so long, and there is no victory at all, but several defeats in a row have made the Wei army lose their ambition, and their ambition is greatly damaged, which is much worse than the loss of soldiers.

It was precisely because he was puzzled in his heart that he asked Zhuge Liang for the reason.

They don't believe that His Majesty has always had the wisdom to know people, so how could he make a mistake in the degree of employing people in the national war?

This is not true.

So they want to urgently know what kind of medicine is sold in the prime minister's gourd.

Zhuge Liang knew the doubts of the generals in the camp, he originally thought, only one person knew the plan in his heart, and to this day, if he did not reveal a word, I am afraid that the morale would really be irretrievable, and more importantly, His Majesty has just reorganized the cabinet, and he cannot be impeached or suspected at this time, and the situation must be stabilized.

As a qualified strategist, only after seeking oneself can one seek the country and the world.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang will not put himself in danger at all, and in this way, it is also in order to better display his talents and be loyal to the country.

In order not to let the soldiers interfere with their plans and appease the morale of the army, it is a necessary means, but it cannot be revealed too much, because the so-called conspiracy does not need too many people to know about it.

I know more, and when I show it, I am restrained.

He said to the soldiers: "For many days, I have let the generals be defeated when the enemy is defeated, so that the other side will despise us and others, and I have a plan in my heart to make the coalition army collapse, this plan needs the cooperation of the generals, and do not pass on the matter to others." As for the plan, you will know by then. ”

The generals in the camp have been talking about each other, and several of them have been following His Majesty the Emperor many years ago to fight in the south and north, and they actually admire the prime minister who was the first to serve as a military advisor, and then, they gradually looked forward to the prime minister's plan and trusted him.

The generals in the battalion are no longer complaining, and they are about to go down to prepare for the evacuation of Beizhou.

At this moment, a scout came to report that the combined army of the Duan Army and the Tang Army was about to descend on the city.

Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard the news.

This was really unexpected, he said to the soldiers: "The situation has changed, the enemy army has been killed, now, speed up all the supplies in the northern county city to the rear, do not leave a grain of grain to the enemy army, the speed should be fast." ”

One of the soldiers was worried, and he said: "Prime Minister, according to the scout, I am afraid that the enemy army will come to the city within half an hour, and we will not have the time to empty all the grain and grass in the city!"

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "How much time do you need?"

The soldiers looked at each other, and finally one of them replied, "It will take at least nearly an hour." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Okay, let's get busy, the problem of time will be left to the original appearance." ”

The crowd retreated.

Cao Cao was staying by Zhuge Liang's side at the moment.

Since Zhao Changqing captured the capital of Chu, he let Cao Cao leave Bai Qi's camp and let him follow Zhuge Liang to go on the expedition, hoping that he can learn some skills from Zhuge Liang and show the ability that Xiao Xiong should have as soon as possible.

Cao Cao knew what he needed most at the moment, so he asked if he didn't understand, so that he could gain a lot of things in the short term, otherwise, he would be ashamed to ask, and it would be difficult to grow in the short term, so that his ability would definitely not be able to keep up with the progress of the Wei State.

He didn't understand what Zhuge Liang had to do to resist the enemy army for nearly an hour, so he asked Zhuge Liang and said, "Prime Minister, I don't know what method you want to use to block the enemy army?"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Empty city plan." ”

"Empty city plan?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically, his heart filled with doubts.

He couldn't be clearer about this empty city plan, because when he knew his idol Emperor Dawei, he knew some details of His Majesty the Emperor's attack on the city in order to resist the Chu army.

But don't the people of the world and the soldiers all say that there will be no empty city after evergreen?

At this time, it is impossible for the enemy army not to suspect this kind of empty city plan?

What if a small force is sent to attack the city and harass it?

That's too risky, isn't it?

Can it be done?

Zhuge Liang smiled but said nothing.

He already had a plan in his mind.

This empty city plan is imperative, and it is also to pave the way for his next plan.

Cao Cao continued to ask because of the doubts in his heart.

Zhuge Liang replied one or two and said: "This empty city plan, I guess you know a lot from your father, right? After all, when His Majesty laid out the empty city plan, there was the assistance of Cao Laoguogong, and this empty city plan is very similar to His Majesty's empty city plan, but there are some places that are different, because we have lost several battles in succession, and the other party's boss's heart and nature have also been clearly understood, so, with the help of the other party's psychology, this empty city plan is not a problem. You just stay by your side and gain some knowledge. ”

Zhuge Liang is very confident in his plan.

Because he is a steady person, if he is not sure about this matter, he will not choose to do it, which is why Zhuge Liang can strategize and win thousands of miles away.

In Zhao Changqing's original world, he is the same as Zhang Liang, he is worthy of enjoying the ten philosophers in the martial temple, and the status of the generals of the past dynasties belongs to the top one, and he is a mess.

Such a fierce man, if he is only a prime minister and does not attack the world, he will inevitably waste his talent and ability to manage the army and march.

Half an hour later.

Zhuge Liang ordered someone to prepare a guqin and put it on the top of the city, and then he didn't prepare anything, just picked up the feather fan he often held, and called Cao Cao to accompany him to climb the city wall to see the enemy's soldiers.

On the way to the city wall, Zhuge Liang also asked Cao Cao, saying, "Are you afraid?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "The prime minister is afraid?"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Why are you afraid of this?"

Cao Cao also smiled and said: "Since the prime minister has no fear, and the younger generation only has one life, why is there any fear?"

Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this: "Your words are a bit like Cao Lao Guogong, I think back then, Cao Lao Guogong was in front of thousands of troops, he was a light and breezy appearance, and the two of them entered the Chu State camp with the poison doctor Zhu Yanxiu to poison the deeds of Xiang Nantian, the military god of the Chu State, but now, there are people circulating!"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Compared with the style of my father, Cao is not as good as Cao, after all, if Cao is asked to follow Zhu seniors to poison the commander of the Tang Kingdom, it is estimated that the younger generations will not dare to go." ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "Why don't you dare to go? Do you think that you can still suffer losses with Zhu Yanxiu? However, at that time, the courage of the two of them was really rare and unmatched, and only two people dared to complete an impossible plan to help His Majesty break the Chu army once and for all. If Xiang Nantian doesn't die, it is estimated that the war should last for a long time. Before the expedition, Ben Xiang read the recent history of the historians, and wrote that when your father and Zhu Yanxiu poisoned Xiang Nantian, they did not use the word poison, but used the word 'healing', which is really a wonderful thing. ”

Cao Cao was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you write it directly?"

Zhuge Liang said: "First, because the history books are written by the victors, how to write this situation is up to us, and secondly, because His Majesty has extraordinary feelings for Cao Laoguogong, and the historians' descriptions of Cao Laoguo are as beautified as possible, otherwise when His Majesty finds out in the future, he will inevitably be furious." ”
