Chapter Eighty-Six: Wuhou Fuqin Retreats from Ten Thousand Armies (I)

In this world, of course, there is no play called "Empty City Strategy".

The empty city plan comes from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and on the earth, every Chinese person is familiar with it. It is about Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, which went smoothly, and Wei had no choice but to use Sima Yi to lead a large army to help. Sima Yi marched quickly, marched all the way, defeated Ma Tan and Wang Ping's defenders in the street pavilion, and approached the west city where Zhuge Liang was sitting.

At this time, Xicheng was just an empty city, with only old and weak soldiers, and it was impossible to defend the city. So Zhuge Liang, who was only cautious all his life, opened the city gates, let the old and weak soldiers clean the streets, drank and stroked the piano on the city, and frightened Sima Yi with a suspicious strategy.

Of course, this scene has never happened in the history of the earth. However, under the wonderful pen of the great god Luo Guanzhong, it has become a classic example familiar to Chinese people.

Yan Li finished telling the Shang brothers the beginning and end of this play, and only listened to the two of them - although the empty city plan is not a wonderful martial arts drama that Jianchuan City has always appreciated, it is a rare intelligent combat drama, which is wonderful and can be called an immortal classic.

After Shang Shaohong heard this, he immediately began to struggle: Do I play the general Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who immediately blocked Sima Yi at the last moment, or do I play the white-faced Sima Yi who leads the troops?

Zhao Zilong is righteous, majestic, and handsome, of course, he is a good character. But in this play, he is obviously not the protagonist, and he doesn't sing a single word, only two sentences, which is a little discolored. And Zhao Yun obviously wants to use martial arts, but Shang Shaohong's job is to clean his face.

Sima Yi is Shang Shaohong's own family, and there are enough scenes, but this girl is obviously a annihilator......

Tangled, so tangled......

Shang Shaoyan's reaction was completely different.

After the initial excitement, he immediately thought about the meaning behind the play.

The generals are leading the troops outside, and there is only one empty city in the hinterland - isn't this the current situation?

That Sima Yi was also a wise man, seeing that the four gates were wide open, but he did not dare to enter the empty city, leading the army in a dilemma, in a dilemma, and finally encountered Zhao Zilong blocking the way, and had to withdraw his troops in despair under shock.

However, if someone can clearly tell Sima Yi that there is really an empty city in front of him, only Zhuge Liang is alone, with the old and weak soldiers, will Sima Yi, the dragon among the people, really not wave his army to advance and capture Zhuge Kongming alive?

At present, the situation on the side of King Wuwu is also an empty city, with no fierce generals inside and no reinforcements outside. It all relied on the bait of the prince's inheritance, and Yu Qingyue's suspicious plan to mourn on a large scale, so that all forces looked forward and backward.

Once the play is staged and its own strategy is exposed, what should it do?

"Brother Xian, this ......" Shang Shaoyan frowned, "This play is clearly a reflection of the current situation, which is equivalent to revealing the mystery by yourself." If ......"

Shang Shaohong also reacted when he heard this, and his excitement was gone, and he stared at Yan Li.

"Haha......" Yan Li smiled, "Brother, do you think that a trick of empty city can last a few days?"

"Huh?" Shang Shaoyan was stunned, "this...... How can you expect that?"

"Brother might as well think about it, from the time when the elder Yu went to all sides and announced the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival of the prince, to the sudden entry of the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang, and the blood sacrifice mountain village started a war with our side, how many days did it take?" Yan Li asked.

Shang Shao pondered: "Senior Yu announced the beginning, it was the day of the fall of the Wang family, the ninth day of the seventh month. The crime was committed on the night of the mid-year festival, July 14...... Five!"

When he said the answer, he himself couldn't help but be surprised - just five words, so fast!

Yan Li opened his mouth and said: "It is indeed five days in time, but the reaction speed of the Dao Sect is far faster than my brother thought. ”

"Oh?" the Shang brothers were surprised at the same time.

"The incident on the night of the fourteenth day of the seventh month, of course, is five days, but among them, there are still evil cultivators to cast spells, and we have to wait for the time of the night of the middle yuan, as well as the preparation time for the Netherworld Formation to be arranged in advance. They must have arrived in Jianchuan earlier. I guess it should be before and after the housewarming of the wind and fire. Yan Li said.

Shang Shaoyan nodded. Indeed, on the second day of the housewarming of Fenghuoforge, Yan Li issued a warning, saying that someone in southern Xinjiang might interfere. And the reason at that time was that Buchen suddenly brought many Dongsha Gang members to Jianchuan City, and there were unspeakable things in the North Wharf stronghold representing the Dongsha Gang.

Yan Li continued: "I found out that the Dongsha Gang was acting abnormally, and it was July 13, the second day of the housewarming of Wind and Fire Forging. According to this inference, the arrival of the evil cultivators in Jianchuan City will be July 11 at the latest, and it is likely that they will arrive at the beginning of the month. Senior Yu announced that the start was on the night of the ninth day of the seventh month, didn't my brother think that they came too quickly?"

"Definitely. Shang Shaoyan nodded and said, "There are thousands of miles from southern Xinjiang to Jianchuan, and the evil cultivators of the Wu clan are shouted and beaten by everyone, so it is impossible to swagger and fly away." This is unusual!"

"The only answer is that these two evil cultivators were originally not in southern Xinjiang, but in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Yan Li analyzed, "Someone sent them the news of the trial of the prince, and they rushed to Jianchuan City without hesitation, and they trusted this source very much, and they didn't even do further verification. After arriving at Jianchuan, they immediately set out to target the ancient tomb and prepared a blood sacrifice circle without hesitation. ”

Shang Shaoyan frowned and said: "Southern Xinjiang is a wild land, and the Wu clan has always refused to accept the king. Who is it that can have such prestige in southern Xinjiang?"

"Jade Emperor View. Yan Li said indifferently, "Other than that, there is no other possibility." Only they will attach so much importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival trial of the prince, can know the news at the first time, react at the first time, and can move such a strange soldier through thousands of mountains and rivers. ”

"Hiss......" Shang Shaoyan gasped and said in shock, "Doesn't this mean that the hand of the Jade Emperor Guan has already penetrated into southern Xinjiang?

Southern Chu is a prosperous place for Buddhism, and the Jade Emperor Temple is a horizontal intervention in southern Xinjiang, and the purpose is self-evident.

"Ha, my brother is wrong. Yan Li chuckled, "It's not a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but a dispute between the three religions." Did my brother forget that Buddhism is self-disciplined and does not go to the court. In the court of Southern Chu, many ministers were born in Confucian schools. ”

It turned out that the beacon fire in southern Xinjiang could not be pacified for decades, not because the Red Ling Army was incompetent, but because it was behind the backs of the masters of the three religions.

"Put aside the issue of southern Xinjiang for the time being, let's talk about the current situation. Yan Li led the conversation back to the topic, "The Wu clan's ghost cultivator's move on July 14 is the biggest omission of the prince - the ghost door is opened on July 14, and the prince, as one of the ghost kings of Fengdu, must sit in Fengdu and can't get out, so he let the evil cultivator succeed, so that the situation is so critical." Among them, there is [***], and there is also luck. However, it is not difficult for us to see from it how unscrupulous the Jade Emperor Guan is, and inside the ghost city of Fengdu, it is obvious that the prince does not have the advantage......"

The Shang brothers nodded at the same time.

"So, last time, it took five days from the beginning to the trial. At what day will the temptation come?" Yan Li snorted, "Or does my brother think that the unscrupulous Jade Emperor Concept will really be bluffed by our four gates, and the troops will be collected cleanly for forty miles?"

"Ahem......" Shang Shaohong coughed twice. Collecting forty miles of troops is Sima Yi's line in the repertoire of "Empty City Strategy". He had just previewed the singing.

Shang Shaoyan didn't have the heart to joke, and asked seriously, "What does the virtuous brother think?"

Yan Li took a moment to say, "The current situation is that the prince has thrown out a higher level of inheritance, so that the three sects can enter the game at the same time, and the Jade Emperor Concept must clarify the various relationships between the three religions, and will take getting the inheritance as the first priority, so it will not be like last time, and break the game brutally, so as not to cancel the trial in a fit of anger."

"Naturally, their reaction will be slower than the last time, but not much slower. Since last night, I think that in three days at most, the three sects will respond at the same time, and all kinds of temptations will follow. The only good thing is that the means will be milder. Fortunately, most of the descendants of the prince have been evacuated, and there are not many flaws on our side, but we are still in danger when we respond passively. ”

Shang Shaoyan nodded in agreement, and then wondered, "What does the virtuous brother mean by arranging this play?"

"Haha...... Haven't you figured it out yet?" Yan Li said with a smile, "If I tell my brother now, the prince has already prepared 100,000 Yin soldiers and ghosts, and he will wait for an order, and he will kill the Jade Emperor Temple, the shame of Yixue, do you believe it?"

Shang Shaohong was still hesitating, and Shang Shaohong was already excited with his eyes shining: "I see, just wait for their elite to come, and our troops will ambush everywhere......"

"Ahem...... Shang Shaoyan coughed, patted his younger brother's shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense......"

"Well, it turns out that my brother doesn't believe it. Yan Li said cheerfully, "Then, I'll tell you now, that sentence just now is indeed nonsense." The prince was actually very miserable, only one of them, and he was seriously injured and never healed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just a delaying tactic. If the Jade Emperor Guan seizes the opportunity and strikes a heavy blow, he will be able to prevent future troubles forever. Do you believe it?"

"Uh......" Shang Shaoyan was also confused this time, and he didn't understand what Yan Li meant. Even if the prince hasn't recovered, it's not good to arrange it like this......

"Hahaha, brother, look, you are the great-grandson of the prince, I am now the chief mastermind of the prince, you don't want to believe what I say, what do outsiders think?" Yan Li said.

"I see!" Shang Shaoyan suddenly said.

The empty city plan cannot frighten the unscrupulous opponent. Even if your own bluff is successful, it will not be able to resist the temptation at any cost. So how do you delay the other party's footsteps and make them suspicious and unstoppable?

Only the virtual is real, and the real is virtual.

It's clearly an empty city plan in front of me, but I revealed it myself, do you still dare to believe that this is an empty city plan?

In particular, this is the self-written and self-performed "Empty City Strategy", which is the farewell performance of the merchant class, representing the descendants of King Wuwu, blatantly ignoring the legal judgment before the Jade Emperor Guan Yijiazi, and collectively seeking a way out.

This is not only a suspicious tactic, but also a slap in the face, hitting the old face of the Jade Emperor Guan. How are they going to respond?

If their movements are too big, don't forget, Confucianism and Buddhism are waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Shang Shaoyan wanted to clear the customs, so he didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the details: "Brother Xian, where does this scene be staged?"

"The hero holds the sword and must drink alcohol, and the husband is proud. Yan Li smiled and chanted Jianchuan's most famous couplet, "Since it is a farewell performance, it is naturally under the big sign of 'repaying grievances with directness'!"

"Hero!" Shang Shaoyan was also excited, "It's really a good place!"

Heroes are on the pitch and farewell to the show.

To whom do you want to "repay your grievances directly"?

King Wu, Marquis of Wuxiang, each generation has a nickname of the word "Wu", and what kind of waves will be stirred up by the intersection of time and space?
