Chapter 671: Ma Chao Plays Empty City Scheme


"Old Xu, I'm not telling you, just like this, it really works."

Ma Chao looked at the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry with bright armor and solemn military appearance in the city, and couldn't help but turn around and asked Xu Shu.

When Xu Shu heard Ma Chao's lazy and casual question, his face turned dark.

At this time, Xu Shu was no longer as miserable as he was four days ago.

Instead, he said that after taking some rest and combing his hair, he put on a Confucian robe and a ge robe.

He looked indescribably chic, and the short beard specially grown under his chin made Xu Shu even more charming as a mature man.

After four days of getting along with each other, Xu Shu felt deeply grateful to Ma Chao at the beginning, then admired and fell in love with him, then felt helpless, and finally completely lost to Ma Chao's majestic appearance but the heart of a bastard.

He felt like he was struggling feebly.

Even when he woke up this morning and was dragged to the top of the city by Ma Chao, Xu Shu was still thinking: His whole life was really ruined by such a duplicitous person.

The monarch has it in his hands "My lord, what is false is what is real, what is true is what is false.

Xiahou Miaocai is quick in using his troops, good at making quick decisions, knows how to abandon the strong and attack the weak, and uses his troops flexibly.

But all of this is based on Xiahou Miaocai's keen sense of battlefield.

"When Xu Shu said this, he also looked at the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry outside the city.

He saw that the three thousand soldiers and armor might control them at any time.

When the horse charged, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "My lord is famous all over the world, and he will win every battle.

His reputation for military use has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and today's suspicion formation has clearly lured Xiahou Miaocai to attack.

Then Xiahou Yuan learned that my lord Knowing that he is riding here, he will definitely be frightened and confused, and he will definitely not dare to attack before he knows the truth."

"The imaginary is the imaginary, and doubt arises out of doubt.

Soldiers are impermanent and subject to endless changes."

Ma Chao silently read these sixteen words, sighed, and then said: "That's what it says, and it's also written in the military book.

But.

I really don't know what to do with this empty city strategy.

You said, if Xia Houyuan comes to call for formation later, should I show off as an extraterrestrial power, or should I just pretend to be pretentious?"

Xu Shu's face turned even darker at this time.

He couldn't stand Ma Chao's shameless and lazy look, and finally couldn't help but said: "My lord, the most famous actor in the world, you deserve to be the most popular one.

This time you are pretentious, no need to say more."

Alright" "That's not necessarily true."

Ma Chao waved his hand, knowing that Xia Houyuan outside the city was still doubtful, then his face gradually turned cold and hard, and he said slowly and solemnly: "At least, Yuan Zhi's acting skills are much better than Chao's.

If Four days ago, Chao had not rescued the military advisor.

I am afraid that Shi Tao should have narrated to Xia Houyuan the scene of risking his life to redress his injustice."

When Xu Shu heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

He wanted to kneel down to apologize, but he stood still.

After his face changed for a long time, he regained his composure and said slowly: "My lord has already guessed this.

Could it be that this four-day show is just to take revenge on me for my treacherous intentions?"

Ma Chao didn't answer and looked at Shi Tao, who was standing silently beside him.

He couldn't help but chuckle: On that day, Shi Tao went to court to handle the case and called the officials to bring in all the Yang family's official affairs for judgment.

The officials all carried the case files to the hall, and knelt down at the steps while complaining to the defendants.

Shi Tao criticizes in his hand, speaks in his mouth, and listens to the words in his ears.

The right and wrong are clear and there is no mistake at all.

The people all kowtowed and prostrated, and Ma Chao immediately stated that he would definitely use the stone Tao again in the future.

Later, Ma Chao's reputation for having a sharp eye and recognizing talents became even more famous.

But unfortunately, it was Shi Tao and Xu Shu who showed off their talents so much that Ma Chao had doubts.

Although what the two of them did was most likely to get a position in the Ma family's hall full of talented people.

But after all, the two of them acted too hastily and revealed Xia Houyuan's intention to attack Yangren County.

Ma Chao then followed the picture and thought of Shi Tao's redress of injustice.

Naturally, he saw through Xu Shu and Shi Tao's intentions.

However, judging from their tragic experiences, what they did was not excessive.

Even at that time, the two of them had not joined the Ma family, and there was no suggestion of disloyalty.

However, Ma Chao is not entangled in the matter between the two of them.

He is just giving a small punishment to the two of them for not telling each other sincerely within four days: Don't treat the leaders as fools.

If the leaders are all fools, how can the leader be a fool?

Therefore, at this critical moment, Ma Chao finally revealed this point.

The reason is naturally to eliminate the barriers between monarch and ministers and move forward for the great cause.

"Yes, Yuan Zhi and Guang Yuan are both talented people, and they are indispensable ministers of the Ma family."

After seeing Xu Shu admitting the matter, Ma Chao no longer had many worries in his heart, and said sincerely: "Only when the monarch and his ministers are one, can they be of the same mind.

With the same mind and heart, the Ma family can prosper day by day.

After today, the matter between the three of us will not be mentioned again, so we will treat it as a harmless joke. " After Xu Shu and Shi Tao heard this, they both looked at each other, nodded and fell at Ma Chao's feet, saying with all their hearts: "My lord is kind and wise, and my subordinates are sincerely convinced.

I will definitely have no reservations about Ma Chao in the future, and I will do whatever I want."

"Well, get up."

Ma Chao did not get up to help the two of them up this time: it is necessary to keep a proper distance between the monarch and his ministers.

Otherwise, just like these four days, Xu Shu and Shi Tao would not die of depression.

However, on the top of the city, Ma Chao defeated Xu Shu and Shi Tao, and there was no longer any doubt between the emperor and his ministers.

But Xia Houyuan below the city was full of doubts at this time.

He looked at the low earthen walls in Yangren County, and then saw Ma Chao sitting at the top of the city wearing a dazzling brocade robe, and he wanted to wave his hand and order an attack.

But the situation in front of him made Xia Houyuan unable to raise his hand.

At this time, in Yangren County, the city gates were open and all the flags were hidden.

Inside and outside the city gate, there were more than 20 people, lowering their heads and sweeping, as if there was no one around.

In this scene, there is no trace of the chilling brutality of an imminent war.

Instead, it is like a dilapidated and desolate empty city.

Under the scorching sun, the whole city is filled with mourners leaning on the railings.

What's even more suspicious is that Ma Chao on top of the city didn't even move at all.

Apart from occasionally chatting and laughing with the two scribes next to him dressed as scribes, he was suddenly unaware of the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry under his command outside the city.

He even drank some herbal tea or juice from time to time.

"General" Cao Xiu saw Ma Chao's leisurely and leisurely behavior on the top of the city.

After all, he was young and full of energy.

He felt angry in his heart and said loudly: "I know the general's doubts, but I am willing to be the vanguard." , led hundreds of elite tiger and leopard riders into the city to explore the truth."

"Withdraw troops," Xia Houyuan said flatly, as if he didn't hear Cao Xiu's words at all.

When "General" Cao Xiu heard this, he was almost full of grief and anger, and he blurted out: "Uncle has defeated Yuan Shu.

At this moment, Ma Chao's head is just like searching for your martial name.

Could it be that at the critical moment, you were frightened by Ma Chao's reputation?"

"Wantless!"

.Even though After fighting with you, who knows how many soldiers and horses Ma Chao has?

If you fight with a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, what's the point of the remaining two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry?

And if someone rushes directly into the city, what's the point?

Isn’t it playing into Ma Chao’s hands again?”

When Cao Xiu heard what Xia Houyuan said was reasonable, he immediately blushed and did not dare to say anything more.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan sighed, and then slowly said to Cao Xiu: "Look at Ma Chao's expression, have you inadvertently glanced six times to the west?"

"Yeah."

Cao Xiu heard this and immediately looked to the west: To the west of Yangren County, there was a jungle with deep trees.

Until now, the tigers and leopards were riding in formation, and no birds seemed to have fallen into the forest.

Cao Xiu's expression changed greatly when he saw this.

For a moment, he seemed to finally understand Xia Houyuan's good intentions and his sharp eyesight: He is indeed still too young.

If he leads the army himself, he will probably be completely defeated by Ma Chao.

I am very grateful.
