After Chai Rong knew that Yelu Zhen was seriously injured, he set out on a northern expedition the next day, leading 30,000 troops all the way to the north.

Sent troops to Ningzhou, and assassinated Wang Hong out of the city and surrendered. After leading the troops to Yijin Pass, the Khitan guard general Zhong Tinghui abandoned the city and surrendered. To Waqiao Pass, the guard Yao Neibin abandoned the city and surrendered. Liu Chuxin, the assassin of Yanzhou, abandoned the state and surrendered. Yingzhou Assassin Shi Gao Yanhui took the initiative to go out of the city and return to Shun.

Chai Rong only went out for 42 days this time, and the soldiers were bloodless, and he collected a total of 17 counties in three passes and three prefectures. It was a brilliant victory, arguably the greatest victory of the Han Chinese against the Khitans.

The Khitans were completely panicked when they learned that Yeluzhen was seriously injured and that all 20,000 soldiers had been wiped out, and they didn't know what to do. The Khitans, who had always been high above and thought that the cavalry were invincible in the field battle, were suddenly defeated, and Yeluzhen, who was the first in the world in martial arts, was seriously injured and fled back to Youzhou, and then was escorted back to Shangjing by the army...... This series of events frightened the Khitans, and they didn't have any courage to resist at all.

The Zhou army was like a bamboo, all the way to Youzhou. As long as Youzhou is recovered, it will be even more difficult for the Khitan to attack the Central Plains in the south.

The Khitan people were originally not good at attacking cities, and the Central Plains were good at defending the city for a long time, and the Khitan invasion was not taking advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, or borrowing the courage of the soldiers, and the Khitan siege was actually very difficult, so it would often stalemate with the enemy. Because the lives of soldiers are very precious, the population of the Khitan is less than one-tenth of that of the Han Chinese, and it is not cost-effective to use the lives of soldiers to forcibly attack the city.

Therefore, the main purpose of the Great Zhou army this time was to seize control of Youzhou, and I originally thought that this would be a vicious battle, but I really didn't expect it to be so smooth. This reminded Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong of the time when Yelude was in the middle of the plan.

At that time, Yelu Deguang was carried away by the victory, and the army killed all the way to Bianliang City, and even occupied Bianliang City to ascend the throne and become emperor. As a result, several armies directly surrounded Bianliang City, and successfully recaptured Cangzhou, directly giving the Khitan army a closed door to fight dogs.

This time it was smooth and unbelievable, there was no need to attack at all if he surrendered directly wherever he went, and the road from Cangzhou to Youzhou was completely under Chai Rong's control. But...... Everyone has some worries, and those who understand know that smooth sailing is never a good thing, and good things have to be grinded.

There are still dozens of miles away from Youzhou, and it has basically entered the scope of Youzhou. After Youzhou received the letter, he almost immediately sealed the city and prepared to hold on. Youzhou can't be lost, everyone knows very well whose hands Youzhou is, who has the absolute initiative, and can attack and retreat.

The Zhou army is also in a dilemma now, this road is too smooth to make it feel like a trap for Zongxin to deal with Yelu Deguang, the Khitans themselves can't think of this way, but they can imitate Zongxin's method, lure the enemy army deep and then close the door and beat the dogs.

But this is the most critical time, as long as you take Youzhou, everything will be fine, and you can't retreat at this time. Many people want to retreat, but they dare not say it, because the situation is very good, who dares to say that they will withdraw from the army? Doesn't this affect morale? If Chai Rong is in a bad mood, this is definitely a sin that can be cut off.

Some people are happy and some are sad, and the most calm among the happy people is the norm. The army marched all the way north to regain the lost territory, and the soldiers were bloodless, this is a feat for the ages, how can Fan Zhen not be happy? Regarding the unfounded speculation of other people, Fan Zhen only smiled lightly and did not pay attention to it at all.

Although Fan Zhen does not take these things to heart, if this kind of emotion affects the core figures, it will be detrimental to the morale of the military. So Fan Zhen deliberately found a few people to come to his tent, of course, these are all old acquaintances, and because they are familiar, they have to explain things clearly.

In addition to the two prime ministers, Fan Zhen and Wang Bo, there are also Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde, Li Chongjin, Zheng Ziming, Wei Renpu, and Pan Mei. Of course, it is impossible for Fan Zhen to invite the emperor Chai Rong to come, because it is inconvenient for Chai Rong to come forward for such a thing, and Zhao Kuangyi does not have this need, his status in the army is not high, and the reason why he is walking sideways in the barracks is completely because his brother is Zhao Kuangyin.

"Listed as, today I occasionally got a few jars of good wine, and I specially invited everyone to taste the wine. There is no difference between our brothers, and everyone tastes my new good wine. ”

Fan Zhen took the initiative to pour wine for everyone, and finally raised a glass to drink. After drinking, everyone nodded, this wine is indeed good, mellow and aromatic, with a smell of mutton.

"Eh~~?this wine, won't it be the mutton on the table running into the wine, how can I drink a faint smell of mutton?" Wang Bo was surprised: "This taste~ I like it, I usually like to eat mutton, drink mutton soup, mutton soup mixed with the taste of wine, it is really good." ”

Li Chongjin chuckled and said, "Wang Xiang, you shouldn't have drunk the lamb bar." ”

"I've heard of lamb wine, but I haven't really drunk it. It turns out that this is lamb wine, no wonder ......"

Fan said: "This is a selection of northern millet as raw materials, composed with aged wheat, carefully brewed, because the wine needs to use mutton, so it is called lamb wine." Wang Xiang, you've only heard of lamb wine, right, where did you hear about it?"

"Of course, I listened to it when I watched the play, Zhuge Liang's empty city plan. "Saying that, Wang Bo also sang a small song: 'The streets outside the city are cleaned, and Sima Hao is ready to garrison soldiers. Zhuge Liang has no other respect, and the lamb and wine he called will reward your three armies. At this point, the city should be entered, why are you hesitating about the dilemma of what is the situation? There are two people on the left and right, and I have no ambush and no soldiers. Don't be cranky, come and come, please come to the city and listen to me play the harp. ’

"Good~~!" XN

Everyone applauded Wang Bo, Wang Bo usually has no other hobbies, although he is a prime minister, but most of his life has been a farmer, so his hobbies are only those kinds, drinking, listening to operas, and eating meat. Although his voice is not very good, he sings well.

Fan said: "That's right, when you think of lamb wine, you will think of the empty city plan." Do you know why Zhuge Liang used the empty city plan, and why Sima Yi fell for the plan?"

Zhuge Liang is resourceful, and it is expected that Sima Yi is suspicious by nature, and he opened the city gate Zhuge Liang Chenglou Fuqin, which is enough to scare Sima Yi away. Li Chongjin still admires Zhuge Liang very much, and he retreated Sima Yi's 150,000 army with the strength of one person, what kind of momentum is this?

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Come less, I don't believe that Sima Yi is so brainless, in fact, you don't know that Zhuge Liang is a martial arts master, and he knows sound wave skills." He stroked the qin in the city tower and the sound wave had already injured everyone present, as long as Zhuge Liang improved his skills a little, 150,000 people would not survive, Sima Yi knew that his skills were invincible, so he retreated. ”

Zhang Yongde smiled: "I agree with Zhao Kuangyin's statement, there is no reason for me to agree." ”

"Then I'll agree. "Zheng Ziming has always been from Zhao Kuangyin's side, and he will agree with whatever Zhao Kuangyin says.

Wei Renpu and Pan didn't speak, because they knew why Sima Yi withdrew from the army, because they were relatively knowledgeable, and if they were not even familiar with the Three Kingdoms when they led troops to fight...... I really don't know how this group of people survived until now.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's empty city plan was indeed played for Sima Yi to see, and Zhuge Liang believed that Sima Yi could understand it. Fan Zhen said: "In the art of war, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple is to divide it, with Sima Yi's 150,000 troops, even if he suspects that there are strange things in the city, he doesn't need to retreat, right?

"Siege. ”

"That's right, it's definitely a siege. ”

"Definitely a siege. ”

......

Everyone was very afraid of Zongxin, they didn't dare to attack directly, but it was impossible to retreat directly, so they might as well besiege the city first and see the situation in the city.

However, after they answered this question, they suddenly found that Sima Yi was a little brainless at that time, why did he withdraw from the army directly?

Fan Zhi said: "Zhuge Liang's purpose in using the empty city plan is not to scare Sima Yi away, but to let Sima Yi know that if there is no Shu Kingdom and no Zhuge Liang, then he Sima Yi will have no place to use it, and the birds will be good and the bow will be hidden." Sima Yi just wanted to give himself a step, so he withdrew directly. He can't catch Zhuge Liang, let alone let others catch Zhuge Liang, otherwise if Zhuge Liang dies, even if he Sima Yi is not assassinated by Cao Cao, he will cut off all his troops and let him go home to retire. ”

Several people nodded silently, they understood the whole story, but Fan Zhen invited everyone here to drink just to talk about this matter?

"Fan Xiang, you invited us to the camp not just to drink. Deliberately took out the lamb wine, and then pulled it to the empty city...... What do you want to say?" Although Zhao Kuangyin's brain is not very good, he can also see that there is something wrong with today's Fan Qian, he seems to have something to say, but he can't say it directly.

Fan Zhen said: "We in the Central Plains have so many people who don't understand the empty city plan, let alone the Khitans, right?" This unimpeded road should be an empty city plan deliberately set up by Yeluzhen, deliberately reminding us of how Yelude fell into the trap of Zongxin back then, deliberately making us worry and afraid, and wanting to delay time in this way. In fact, this is because Yeluzhen did not really understand the empty city plan, if the person who stroked the qin on the city tower was not Zhuge Liang, even if all the generals of Shu were on the city tower and played the qin on the city tower, they would definitely die, and only Zhuge Liang could survive if he stroked the qin on the city tower, because the person who was most afraid of Zhuge Liang's death was Sima Yi. So this time Yeluzhen is doing more, he thinks that we will be afraid if we deliberately set up an empty plan. ”

As soon as Fan Zhen said this, everyone understood a lot of things, including Wei Renpu and Pan Mei, who had never spoken, these two old fritters usually don't like to talk or offend people. They knew what the empty city plan was about, but they didn't think that this northern expedition of the army was also an empty city plan by Yeluzhen, and it was also Yeluzhen's strategy to do more.
