Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2143

"What's the matter, Lord Yuan, you are really worrying too much." Fu Yuzhang said: "Then Guo Ye will use troops again, and he can defeat our hundreds of thousands of troops with two thousand. It is impossible to think about it!"

"How is it impossible? Thinking back when he was under Jincheng, he also broke through two thousand and our two countries joined forces with 20 troops!"

"Then how can it be the same? Jincheng is just pretending to be a ghost, but he can never do it again. In addition, he is not two thousand but hundreds of thousands. There are still many Silla defenders in the city!"

Yuan Nanjian sneered and said, "I didn't see any difference! Guo Ye played tricks once or twice. What do you mean? If the Tang army hides a certain amount of troops, you will be able to find them?"

There is really no way to refute this, Fu Yuzhang said: "Then what do you mean..."

"What I mean is, we can't be fooled by that fellow Guo Ye! Although we don't know what tricks he wants to play, we just need to not follow his steps! He wants us to attack, but we don't want to attack! Surround him like this."

"My lord, I think this is inappropriate." A person beside Yuan Nanjian said in a low voice.

He turned his head to look, but it turned out to be a general he had just promoted.This man was from Mohe, and he was called Da Zhongxiang.The reason why he was promoted was not because he was brave, but because he had a good name and it was a good sign to stay by his side.

He asked, "Da Zhongxiang, what do you mean by that?"

"My lord, do you feel that Qin Guogong's demeanor is somewhat familiar?"

"familiar?"

"That's right. According to legend, Zhuge Liang was forced by Sima Yi to sit in the West City. He had to burn incense and play the piano on the tower, singing loudly. In the end, he used his former reputation to scare Sima Yi away. This plan is called the empty city plan."

Yuan Nanjian pondered: "You mean Guo Ye is playing tricks on me?"

"Exactly. What happened to Qin Guogong Guo Ye? No matter how he uses soldiers like a god, he is still a clever woman who can't cook without rice. I am afraid that he can only use the empty city plan to intercept us. Therefore, the current situation is not that Guo Ye wants us to attack, but that Guo Ye wants us to attack. Hope we don't attack."

"You mean that instead of attacking, we fell for Guo Ye's tricks?"

"Exactly."

"No way..." Yuan Nanjian shook his head and said, "Guo Ye is full of tricks, how could you see through it so easily? Maybe he deliberately put on an empty plan to lure us into the bait?"

"Is it an empty city plan? Let's try it! My lord, I don't need your army. I, Da Zhongxiang, have thousands of clansmen. As long as I attack once, I can test his strength. Even if there are casualties, it is my Mohe people." Take it upon yourself.”

Other people's children can't stop dying, and Mohe people have always been rebellious, obedient to the tune and not to the propaganda, they are like a ticking time bomb.Yuan Nanjian really had nothing to do with them going forward to die.

He nodded and said, "Then you must be careful."

"Just look at it, my Da Zhongxiang is now famous and famous!"

Chapter 1960 The Fire Burns the City

Although Wandu City was dangerous, Guo Ye did not intend to defend it to the death. In fact, he did not intend to defend any city to the death.

Goguryeo and Baekje have at least 20 soldiers.There are simply too many cards to play.

It doesn't matter whether he is guarding the city with [-] or [-], they can send some people to watch.The other part of the people went to divide their troops to pursue His Majesty Li Er without any delay.

Don't worry about the back road being cut off. In Goguryeo, there are Goguryeo people's back roads everywhere.People are fighting on the inside, so there is no need to worry about this at all.

What he wants to bet now is that Yuan Nanjian and Fu Yuzhang concentrate on surrounding themselves and abandon His Majesty Li Er in order to be safe.

Of course, from a strategic point of view, it is most cost-effective to capture His Majesty Li Er.But the problem is, if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty left the army and ran for his life, it would be very difficult to catch him.

Back then, Yang Liang, king of the Han Dynasty, came across the sea with an army of 30, and almost all his troops were wiped out.Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo with an army of one million, and there was no one in ten.Such a big defeat, has it ever hurt half a hair of Yang Liang or Emperor Sui Yang?

But Guo Ye was different. In order to attract the enemy, he had to constantly expose his target, and he didn't dare to run far. The difficulty of arresting him was simply worlds apart.

As for the more than 5 troops of Datang, what if all those people were wiped out?

For Datang, at best, it would hurt his muscles and bones, and he would recover in two or three years, and it would not affect the overall situation.To put it bluntly, a thousand troops are easy to get but a general is hard to find.The [-] army may not be as important as Guo Ye.

Coupled with his deep hatred with Yuan Nanjian and Fu Yuzhang, there is no doubt about how these two will choose.

Of course, Guo Ye did not intend to use the empty city strategy to defend against the enemy.The empty city plan is not a historical fact, but a novelist's words, just listen to the music, and whoever believes it is an idiot.

Although there are also variants similar to the empty city strategy in history, they either have reinforcements, or they have to run away after temporarily retreating from the enemy.

He doesn't have these two aspects, how could he make an empty city plan?

Seeing thousands of Mohe people rushing forward without helmet or armor, Guo Ye turned his head and left.

Although Da Zhongxiang is full of confidence, but facing Guo Ye, who is known as the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, if he says he is not afraid, it is pure bragging.

Bite the bullet, and walked into the city tremblingly, but saw that there was no one on the street.This was originally a military fortress, so it was no surprise that there were no civilians.But what about the military?

Even if Guo Ye wants to use an empty city plan, there will not be only four people in the city, right?Doesn't he have 2000 men?Where did it all go?

Was he lying in ambush somewhere in the city, ready to strike out suddenly and give him a fatal blow?

In an instant, in Da Zhongxiang's eyes, Wan Ducheng seemed to have turned into a ferocious monster, choosing and devouring people.

He gritted his teeth, and said: "A team of 500 people, search for me! But if you encounter Tang Jun, don't fight wildly, and quickly sound the warning!"

"Here!"

The Mohe people were divided into eight teams, and they searched in Wandu City.It wouldn't take long if they all spread out and searched the city to make sure there was no Tang army in ambush.But it would take a lot of effort to just divide into eight teams and search the entire city.

After nearly an hour, he confirmed that there was no large group of people ambushing in the city.

Da Zhongxiang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, urged his horse to come to Yuan Nanjian, and said: "I would like to report to the lord, Guo Ye really used the empty city strategy, and the soldiers in the city did not resist."

Fu Yuzhang's eyes lit up, and he said: "So, does that guy Guo Ye have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, and he just waits for our army to catch a turtle in his urn?"

"Exactly. In order to be safe, the two kings are also invited to send an army into the city to search Guo Ye room by room!"

"Okay!" Fu Yuzhang winked, and General Jie Bo entered the city with five thousand elites.Yuan Nanjian was not stingy, and also sent five thousand guards.

All of a sudden, an army of [-] was squeezed into the small city of Wandu.

Fu Yuzhang said: "Haha, it seems that Guo Ye was smart all his life, and he was confused for a while. He really thought you and I were fools. What kind of empty tricks are you playing? Now it's all right, cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness, and he will become a fool after a while." I am imprisoned. Tell me, how should we concoct this person?"

Yuan Nanjian choked heavily at his "fool".Just now it seemed that I was the "fool" who fell for Guo Ye's trick. Not only did I not dare to attack, but I also stopped Fu Yuzhang from attacking the city.

He laughed dryly and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Guo Ye is not that easy to deal with. Based on his knowledge, doesn't he know the truth of thinking about defeat before thinking about victory?"

Fu Yuzhang sneered, and said, "I'm afraid he is overconfident. Several times, he has completely underestimated the hero of my Three Koreas."

"No way..." Yuan Nanjian rolled his eyes and said, "Even if his so-called empty city plan is successful, so what? If he can deceive us for a while, he can deceive us forever? If there is no strategy to turn defeat into victory, wouldn't he be doomed by us?" Captives? This doesn't look like Guo Ye's handwriting."

Fu Yuzhang frowned and said: "That's true. But he has no soldiers and no courage in the city, how can he turn defeat into victory? I understand!"

He suddenly slapped his thigh, and said: "Although ordinary people can't go down that cliff, Guo Ye possesses special skills, so he is not an ordinary person. Hurry up..."

He turned his head and said to a young general next to him: "Pass the order of King Gu, and tell the two generals Jie Bo and Da Zhongxiang to search the other side of the cliff quickly. Don't let Guo Ye run away!"

"Yes!"
