"The troops have really been withdrawn."
Ma Chao looked in disbelief as Xia Houyuan turned his rear formation into the front formation and cautiously withdrew his troops outside the city.
I actually felt that the sky was a lot brighter for a moment: This world is too crazy, Xia Houyuan, a famous general, was really scared to death by himself.
"Military advisor, am I right?"
Ma Chao suddenly stood up, looked back at Xu Shu, and asked.
Even though the facts were in front of him, Ma Chao was still muttering in his heart.
In fact, Ma Chao was mentally prepared to burn the boat in this battle.
There are more than 2,000 people in the city, including the 300 personal guards and the strong men from the countryside who have always admired the Ma family.
Although he definitely couldn't compete with Cao Cao's most elite tiger and leopard cavalry, there was still no problem in defending a fierce battle and creating ample time for Ma Chao to risk his life and escape.
With this empty city plan, Ma Chao's worst plan is to abandon Yangren County.
After all, although Yangren County is currently strategically located, it is extremely important.
But compared to Ma Chao's own life, it was still far behind.
But the situation at this time made Ma Chao really suspicious: Although Kong Ming's description of the empty city strategy was also included in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao knew that it was purely fabricated by Luo Guanzhong and was the result of the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu during the Dingtao Battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu. , Cao Cao ordered women to guard the city to paralyze Lu Bu, and this trick was used on Zhuge Liang.
Although The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is indeed one of China's four great masterpieces: businessmen can see the ruthlessness of business wars, literati can see the sadness of poetry, and resentful women can see the fate of beauties.
Even when Nurhachi, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, was conquering the Ming Dynasty, he distributed the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a military manual to all the generals to read.
But if you really follow the strategies in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you will definitely shoot yourself in the foot.
It is better to have no books than to have all the books.
The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and treacherous.
If everyone is just like Zhao Kuo, talking about war on paper, then Ma Chao firmly believes that the Ma family's 100,000 cavalry will definitely end up like Zhao's 400,000 elite soldiers.
But the situation in front of him really blinded Ma Chao's 24-gram titanium alloy dog's eyes: Could it be that time-travelers really have an invincible halo of luck to turn disaster into good luck, turn disaster into good fortune, a golden gun that cannot be knocked down, and a man who kills seven times in one night?
Why did poor Liu Xie have people chase him from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then beat him from Chang'an to Xuchang?
From the beginning to the end, he was like a poor grandson whose grandma didn't care and whose uncle didn't love him.
Ma Chao's brain was confused at this time and he really couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He looked back at Xu Shu, hoping to get some hints from Xu Shu.
However, at this time, Xu Shu did not even have the smile of victory.
Instead, he frowned and glanced at the woods to the west, seeming to be thinking about something.
At this time, when Ma Chao followed Xu Shu's eyes, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "So that's it, Xia Houyuan, you idiot, come here, quickly go to the forest to investigate and take a look.
What is the situation that causes birds to not dare to enter the forest at this time?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shu and Shi Tao's solemn expressions suddenly darkened a bit.
Especially Xu Shu, he really began to doubt whether the wise Shenwu that Ma Chao had revealed his thoughts just now was his own illusion.
"My lord has also thought of this," Xu Shu said weakly after being frightened by Ma Chao's voice.
That voice was almost like that of a resentful woman who had been abandoned by her husband for five or six years.
"Yes."
Ma Chao was so excited that he did not hear the resentment in Xu Shu's tone, but still said excitedly: "It turns out that Xia Houyuan was concerned about our ambush in the forest to the west, and was afraid that when he launched his army to attack the city, the ambush in the forest would intercept him.
From This side does not dare to be reckless.
We will station troops for the time being and make plans before moving on.
What about the empty city strategy that is full of loopholes in history?"
At the end of the sentence, Ma Chao's voice gradually became lower.
And Xu Shu had no intention of paying attention to Ma Chao's changes at this time, and just thought it was Ma Chao mumbling to himself.
However, as Ma Chao spoke, his voice became louder again, and his eyes became cunning and bright because of the thought of treacherous plots: "Xia Houyuan's cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness.
His doubts reminded me that I can't waste anything."
This is a treasured land given by heaven.”
After Xu Shu heard this, he really wished he could return to his passion as a young hero and fight Ma Chao fiercely: You just thought of this now, do you think I was in a daze after meditating for a long time?
But then he thought of Ma Chao's martial name and the sharpness of his sword that killed the county magistrate of Yangren before.
Xu Shu let out a slow and long breath: I hope that I can live for a few more years in the future, and don't let this unscrupulous monarch get angry early.

It would be better to die Just at this time, Shan Dan, who was ordered to explore the situation in the forest, also came back.
He bowed and reported: "My lord, in the dense forest ahead, there are hundreds of Yang people, old women and children from the county and townships who are fleeing for safety.
Therefore, the birds are still afraid to enter the forest to rest at this time."
"It's really a coincidence."
Ma Chao nodded: the village elders were frightened by Xia Houyuan's attack and hid in the forest; but Xia Houyuan did not dare to attack Yangren County lightly because the village elders avoided disaster.
Really, life is like a coffee table, filled with cups and washing utensils "Lord, there is a big embankment in the forest.
There is no water in the embankment.
It is just used to ambush elite soldiers."
You Dan glanced at Ma Chao, then smiled secretly and spoke again.
"Oh."
After hearing this, Ma Chao glanced at the single and said with a smile: "This is God Bless Chaoye's single.
I believe that soon, your ranking in Shadow will be advanced.
Follow a certain companion Let's go take a look."
After saying this, Ma Chao waved and walked towards the dense forest with a few personal guards, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Qu Qu and others.
After entering the forest, Yangren County soldiers were pacifying the old women and children from the village to return to the county.
Ma Chao even said on the spot that Xia Houyuan would definitely not be able to conquer Yangren County.
After some hard persuasion, everyone believed it.
After walking dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear that we saw a large embankment, about one foot deep, with overgrown vegetation, and soldiers crouched in it, almost invisible.
"You can place all your elite guards and local strongmen in the middle of the embankment, and put up many flags outside the forest to look like suspicious soldiers.
Tomorrow everything will be as usual, let's see how I can defeat Xia Houyuan."
Ma Chao frowned and pondered for a moment before ordering with enthusiasm.
"My lord, you must not do it."
Xu Shu saw Ma Chao being so frivolous and set up this plan.
He was shocked and said: "Xia Houyuan is also a master of military warfare.
Today, since he suspects that there is an ambush in the forest.
When he comes back tomorrow, he will definitely attack this forest first.
If this is where the common people are, The prediction is good, Xia Houyuan will definitely burn down the forest, and in this way, all the soldiers in the forest will be reduced to ashes."
After saying this, Ma Chao was not moved at all, but looked at Xu Shu with a mysterious smile.
Seeing that Ma Chao was so stubborn, Xu Shu simply said: "How about we move the ambush troops behind Xiahou Yuan at night, and when Xiahou Yuan burns the forest tomorrow, we can attack and rob Xiahou Yuan's camp.
In this way, Yangren County can be protected, and the lord can defeat him."
"Xia Houyuan"
I have been following Ma Chao for a while.
When I heard Xu Shu's clever plan, I couldn't help but be moved.
I deeply praised Xu Shu's military skills.
But after listening to this, Ma Chao remained unmoved, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"My lord, if you listen to both, you will be enlightened, if you listen to one, you will be dark.
Although Xu Shu has recently joined the Ma family, he is also sincere.
If the lord does not distinguish between loyalty and good, concubine."
Xu Shu was really disappointed with Ma Chao at this time.
The most successful thing in a counselor's life is not to use Qingtian The trick is to find a wise master who is good at accepting loyal advice.
Ma Chao's performance at this moment really chilled Xu Shu.
But when Xu Shu tried to persuade him again, Ma Chao said: "It's just that I have ordered Dai'er from Yiyang to take charge of the attack on Xiahou Yuan's camp tomorrow.
But if I do this tomorrow, will Xia Houyuan still be able to do it?"
Can you escape my grasp?"
After Xu Shu heard this, he took a deep look at Ma Chao.
