In this world, of course, there is no play called "The Empty City Strategy". The Empty City Strategy comes from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and every Chinese on earth is familiar with it. It tells the story of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, which went smoothly, but Wei had no choice but to use Sima Yi to lead a large army to help. Sima Yi advanced rapidly and triumphantly. He defeated the defenders of Ma Su and Wang Ping at the street pavilion, and marched to the west city where Zhuge Liang was stationed. At this time, Xicheng was just an empty city, with only old and weak soldiers, unable to defend the city at all. So Zhuge Liang, who was only cautious in his life, opened the city gates and let the old and weak soldiers clean the streets. He drank wine and played the harp on the city top, and used a trick to scare away Sima Yi. Of course, this scene has never happened in the history of the earth. But under the brilliant writing of Luo Guanzhong, it has become a classic battle example that is familiar to Chinese people. After Yan Li told the Shang brothers the whole story of the play, the two of them were very excited - although the Empty City Strategy is not a wonderful martial arts drama that Jianchuan City has always appreciated, it is a rare intellectual battle drama that is so exciting that it can be called immortal. classic. After Shang Shaohong heard this, he immediately began to struggle: Should I play Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the general who stood up and blocked Sima Yi at the last moment, or should I play the white-faced Sima Yi who led the troops? Zhao Zilong is just, majestic and handsome, so of course he is a good character. However, in this play, he is obviously not the protagonist. He does not even have a single aria, only two lines of dialogue, which makes him a bit overshadowed. Moreover, Zhao Yun obviously wants to use martial arts, but Shang Shaohong's job is to clean up his face. Sima Yi is Shang Shaohong¡¯s main family member, and she has enough roles, but this girl is obviously a treacherous person Tangled, so tangled Shang Shaohu¡¯s reaction was completely different. After the initial excitement, he immediately thought of the meaning behind the play. ??The generals are leading their troops outside, and there is only an empty city in the heart of the city - doesn't this refer to the current situation? Sima Yi was also a heroic and wise man. Seeing the four gates wide open, he did not dare to enter the empty city. He led his army in a dilemma and was in a dilemma. Finally, when Zhao Zilong blocked the way, he was shocked and had to withdraw his troops in despair. However, if someone could tell Sima Yi clearly that the city in front of him was indeed an empty city, and Zhuge Liang was alone, with old and weak soldiers. Could it be that Sima Yi, the dragon among men, really didn't know how to advance with his army and capture Zhuge Kongming alive? The current situation on King Shang Wu¡¯s side is that of an empty city, with no strong generals inside and no reinforcements outside. All the forces relied on the prince's inheritance bait and Yu Qingyue's suspicious plan to launch a massacre made all forces hesitate. Once the play is staged and your own plan is exposed, what should you do? "Brother Xian, this" Shang Shaoxu frowned and said, "This play clearly reflects the current situation and is tantamount to revealing the answer to the mystery. If" Shang Shaohong also reacted when he heard this. He lost all excitement and stared. He looked at Yan Li with squinted eyes. "Haha" Yan Li smiled and said, "Brother, how many days do you think you can survive with this empty city strategy?" "Huh?" Shang Shaoxu was stunned, "This was so unpredictable?" "Brother, you might as well think about it. Look, how many days did it take from the time Senior Yu traveled around to announce the start of the Mid-Autumn Festival for the prince, to when the evil cultivators in southern Xinjiang suddenly entered the situation and started a war with us in the Blood Sacrifice Mountain Village?" Yan Li asked. Shang Shaohui thought deeply: "Senior Yu announced the beginning on the ninth day of July, the day when the Wang family was destroyed. The evil cultivator committed the crime on the night of the Ghost Festival, July 145th!" Tell the answer, He himself couldn't help but be surprised - just five days, so fast! However, Yan Li said: "It is indeed five days in time, but the Taoist reaction speed is much faster than my brother thought." "Oh?" The Shang brothers were surprised at the same time. "Although it took five days for the incident to occur on the night of July 14th, there were still evil cultivators casting spells. They had to wait for the heavenly time of Zhongyuan Night and the preparation time for pre-arrangement of the Nether Formation. The time they arrived at Jianchuan It must be earlier. I guess it will be around the time of Feng Huo Dui¡¯s move.¡± Yan Li said. Shang Shaoxu nodded. Indeed, on the second day after Feng Huo Dui moved into his new house, Yan Li issued a warning that someone in southern Xinjiang might interfere. The reason at that time was that Bu Chen suddenly brought many members of the Dongsha Gang to Jianchuan City, and there was something ulterior in the North Pier stronghold representing the Dongsha Gang. Yan Li continued: "I discovered that the Dongsha Gang was acting abnormally on July 13th, the day after Fenghuo Forging moved into the new house. According to this inference, the evil cultivators arrived in Jianchuan City on July 11th at the latest. It was probably the first day of the new year. They will arrive at ten. Senior Yu announced that it will be the night of the ninth day of July. Brother, don¡¯t you think they are coming too soon?¡± ¡°Indeed,¡± Shang Shaohu nodded, ¡°It¡¯s a long way from southern Xinjiang to Jianchuan. The evil cultivators are shouting for help, so it¡¯s impossible for them to escape with such arrogance!¡± ¡°The only answer is these two evil cultivators.?Originally it was not in southern Xinjiang, but in the hinterland of the Central Plains. "Yan Li analyzed, "Someone sent them the news about the prince's trial, and they rushed to Jianchuan City without hesitation. They trusted the source of the news very much and did not even conduct further verification. After arriving in Jianchuan, they immediately set out to target the ancient tomb and prepared the blood sacrifice array without hesitation. " Shang Shaohu frowned and said: "Southern Xinjiang is a barbaric land, and the Wu clan has never accepted the king's rule. Who on earth can have such prestige in southern Xinjiang? " " Jade Emperor Temple. Yan Li said calmly, "Other than that, there is no other possibility." Only they would pay so much attention to the prince's Mid-Autumn Festival trial, be able to know the news at the first time, react at the first time, and be able to move through thousands of mountains and rivers to bring such a rare soldier. " "Hiss" Shang Shaohu took a breath and said in shock, "Doesn't this mean that Jade Emperor Guan's hand has already penetrated into southern Xinjiang? In this way, is the war that has lasted for decades in southern Xinjiang a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism? " Southern Chu is the place where Buddhism flourishes. The Jade Emperor Temple has a hand in southern Xinjiang. The purpose is self-evident. "Ha, brother is wrong. Yan Li chuckled and said, "It's not a battle between Buddhism and Taoism, but a battle between the three religions." Has my brother forgotten that Buddhists are self-disciplined and do not go to court? Many ministers in the Southern Chu court were from Confucian schools. "It turns out that the war in southern Xinjiang has not been quelled for decades, not because of the incompetence of the Red Ling Army, but actually because of the manipulation of the masters of the three religions. "Put aside the issue of southern Xinjiang for the moment and let's talk about the current situation. Yan Li brought the conversation back to the topic, "The ghost cultivators of the Wu clan took action on July 14th, which was the prince's biggest omission - the ghost gate opened on July 14th. As one of the ghost kings of Fengdu, the prince must be in charge of Fengdu." , unable to escape, so the evil cultivator succeeded, resulting in such a dangerous situation. There are misfortune and destiny in this. But it is not difficult for us to see from it how unscrupulous the Jade Emperor is, and inside Fengdu Ghost City, it is obvious that the prince does not have the upper hand. . "The Shang brothers nodded at the same time. "So, it took five days from the beginning to the test last time. In this empty city strategy, when will the test come? Yan Li muttered, "Or does brother think that the unscrupulous Jade Emperor Temple will really be frightened by the opening of our four gates and withdraw his troops forty miles cleanly?" " "Ahem" Shang Shaohong coughed twice. Retreating troops forty miles was Sima Yi's line in the play "The Empty City Strategy". He was just pre-singing the tune. Shang Shaohong was not in the mood to joke and asked seriously: "What do you think, dear brother? " Yan Li took time to calm down and said, "The current situation is that the prince has thrown out a higher level of inheritance, allowing the three religions to enter the game at the same time. The Jade Emperor Temple must clarify the various relationships between the three religions, and will give priority to obtaining the inheritance. It's a priority, so he won't break the situation arbitrarily like last time, lest the prince cancel the trial in anger. "Their reaction will naturally be slower than the last time, but it will not be too slow. Starting from last night, I think that within three days at most, the three religions will respond at the same time, and various testing methods will follow. The only one The advantage is probably that the method will be relatively gentle. Fortunately, most of the prince's descendants have evacuated, and there are not many flaws on our side, but we are still in danger if we respond passively." Shang Shaohu nodded in agreement, and then said doubtfully: "That Xian. "What do you mean by arranging this drama?" "Haha brother, haven't you figured it out yet?" Yan Li said with a smile, "If I tell brother now, the prince has already prepared a hundred thousand soldiers and is waiting for you. With the order, we will kill Jade Emperor Temple. Do you believe that Yixue¡¯s shame will be wiped out?¡± Shang Shaoxu was still hesitating, but Shang Shaohong¡¯s eyes were already shining and he said excitedly: ¡°That¡¯s it, we¡¯ll just wait for their elites to come.¡± When you arrive, we will be ambushing you" "Ahem" Shang Shaohu coughed, slapped his brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense" "Well, it turns out that brother doesn't believe it," Yan Li said happily. , "Well, let me tell you now, what I said just now is indeed nonsense. The prince is actually in a miserable state. He is alone, and he has never recovered from his serious injury. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a delaying tactic. If the Jade Emperor Temple seizes the opportunity, he will be severely punished. If you attack, you can avoid future troubles. Do you believe it?" "Uh" Shang Shaohu was also confused this time and didn't understand what Yan Li meant. Even if the prince has not recovered, it is not easy to arrange it like this "Hahaha, brother, look, you are the prince's great-grandson, and I am now the prince's chief conspirator. You don't want to believe what I say, so how will outsiders view it? ?" Yan Li muttered. ¡°That¡¯s it!¡± Shang Shaoxu suddenly realized. The empty city strategy cannot scare unscrupulous opponents. Even if one's side's bluff is successful, it cannot stop temptation at any cost. How to delay the other party's steps and make them suspicious and hesitant? Only if it is imaginary, then it is real, and if it is real, it is imaginary. It is clearly an empty city plan in front of you, but I have exposed it myself, do you still dare to believe that it is an empty city?A plan? Especially, this self-written and performed "The Empty City Strategy" is the farewell performance of the merchant class. It represents the descendants of King Shangwu, blatantly ignoring the decree and judgment of the Yuhuang Temple a year ago, and collectively looking for a way out. This was not only a trick to suspect the enemy, but also a slap in the face, hitting Jade Emperor Guan¡¯s old face hard. How do they respond? If their actions are too big, don¡¯t forget that Confucianism and Buddhism are both waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival test! You won¡¯t let Jade Emperor Guan overturn the table easily! Shang Shaoxu wanted to clear up the customs, so he went straight to the details without any nonsense: "Brother Xian, where do you think it is appropriate to stage this scene?" "A hero holding a sword must indulge in alcohol, and his husband is a knight with pride." Yan Li smiled and said the most beautiful scene in Jianchuan. A famous couplet, "Since it is a farewell performance, it is natural to perform under the big sign of 'Repaying Complaints with Straight Lines'!" "Hero Challenge!" Shang Shaoxu also became excited, "It is indeed a good place!" Hero Challenge, farewell show. Who do you want to "retaliate your grievances directly"? King Shang Wu and Marquis Wu Xiang, each generation has a posthumous title with the word "Îä". What kind of waves will the intersection of time and space stir up?
