I saw the city gate of Hefei opened, and only a dozen people who looked like ordinary people were sweeping the floor with their heads down.
There are no flags on the city wall, only a handsome young man sitting in front of the city gate tower, burning incense and playing the piano.
There are two other book boys standing behind the young man.
Apart from that, let alone soldiers, not even a ghost.
This scene really left Sun Quan and Ling Cao confused.
The two looked at each other, looking a little confused.
what's the situation?
Don't Yang Ling and the others know about the arrival of Jiangdong's army?
This doesn't make sense.
If you knew it, how could you not be prepared at all?
Just when the two were confused, the unpleasant music coming from the city wall suddenly stopped.
Yang Ling stopped playing the piano and Sun Quan said with a smile,
"Sun Zhongmou, you're welcome!"
Sun Quan was slightly startled, but he didn't expect that the other party would recognize him.
He frowned, immediately rode forward, and shouted loudly,
"Who are you?"
"I, Yang Ling, am the military advisor to Master Zixiu."
Yang Ling said loudly.
Is he Yang Ling?
Sun Quan's pupils shrank suddenly, he glanced at Ling Cao, and then said calmly,
"My brother heard that the general is fighting against the rebel Yuan Shu, and specially ordered me to lead 30,000 elite troops to come to support!"
"It's no coincidence that Yuan Shu has been eliminated by us. Please ask Mr. Zhongmou to lead the troops back and thank your brother for me for your kindness."
Yang Ling responded with a smile.
But how could Sun Quan be so easy to dismiss? He sneered and said,
"We have come all the way here, is this how your husband greets us? Isn't he even willing to let us in to have a rest?"
"Young Master Zhongmou is wrong. I knew you were coming, so I opened the city gate to welcome you in."
Yang Ling smiled brightly and made a gesture of invitation.
But Sun Quan did not enter the city directly. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, turned his horse and returned to the army.
"Second Young Master, do we want to enter the city?"
Ling Cao asked softly.
"Then Yang Ling is not an idiot. Opening the city gate so wide must be a fraud!"
Although Sun Quan didn't take Yang Ling seriously before coming, Yang Ling's posture made him suspicious.
"But no matter how deceitful he is, he only has 3,000 soldiers and horses. Can he still turn the world upside down?"
Ling Cao advised.
"What if he has other reinforcements?"
Sun Quan shook his head.
As Cao's army's military advisor, Yang Ling definitely had something to rely on, otherwise he would have opened the city gates so wide unless he was out of his mind.
It's just his reliance, what exactly is it?
When Sun Quan and Ling Cao were discussing, Yang Ling on the city wall was secretly sweating.
This time he imitated Zhuge Liang in history and gave Sun Quan an empty city plan.
If Sun Quan were to find out, the next step would be a tough battle!
Thinking of this, Yang Ling picked up the feather fan on the side and fanned it gently, pretending to be cool.
"Since Mr. Zhongmou refuses to enter the city, it is better to retreat quickly!"
Sun Quan was silent. After a moment, he said to Ling Cao,
"Withdraw!"
"ah?"
Ling Cao was completely dumbfounded.
He never expected that Sun Quan, who had previously made bold promises to capture Hefei, would retreat as soon as he reached the city.
After traveling such a long distance with them, is it all in vain?
But seeing Sun Quan's firm attitude, Ling Cao could only nod helplessly.
"withdraw!"
Jiangdong's rear army turned into the front army, retreating like the tide towards the road they came from.
However, Sun Quan led the army less than ten miles away when he suddenly reined in the reins and stopped in place.
As soon as he stopped like this, Jiangdong's troops stopped moving forward.
Ling Cao from behind hurriedly caught up, looked at Sun Quan who was motionless, and said with a surprised look on his face,
"Second Young Master, what happened again?"
"Something's wrong, something's wrong..."
Sun Quan murmured.
"What's wrong?"
Before Ling Cao could react, he saw Sun Quan suddenly raised his head and said angrily,
"Then Yang Ling is deceiving me!"
"Why are you so sure, Master?"
"I can't tell!"
Sun Quan looked in the direction of Hefei City and gritted his teeth.
On the way back, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt.
You can send a general and a small group of troops into the city to check the situation.
If there is an ambush, it will not be too late to retreat when the time comes.
This turned out to be a good thing, as I was scared away!
This bastard, how dare you tease me!
When Sun Quan thought of this, an unknown fire suddenly arose.
He said to Ling Cao who was standing aside,
"Immediately order to return to Hefei City!"
Ling Cao suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was Sun Quan who initially ordered to attack the city, but when he got to the city, he didn't dare to attack the city and ordered people to evacuate?
As a result, not long after retreating, Sun Quan ordered to go back and attack the city again.
How could he make the matter of marching and fighting such a trivial matter?
Although he was a little dissatisfied, Sun Quan was the commander-in-chief of the army after all, so Ling Cao had no choice but to order the army to change direction and rush to Hefei City again.
Under Sun Ce's training, the Jiangdong troops were also elite soldiers who obeyed orders and forbade them.
But after hearing this military order, the soldiers couldn't help but complain.
However, complaints were complaints, and they still rushed towards Hefei City honestly.
…
Let’s talk about the walls of Hefei.
Seeing Jiangdong's troops withdrawing, Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and a proud smile appeared on his lips.
Everyone knows that Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, but they don't know that Sun Quan is no better than Cao Cao.
This is why Yang Ling used the empty city strategy to defraud him.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan was so naive that he was fooled!
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Ji Ling knew that Sun Quan was retreating, so they also climbed up the city wall to see Yang Ling.
"The military advisor is really resourceful and able to predict events like a god. He managed to hide Sun Quan with just one trick of the empty city strategy!"
Ji Ling started to flatter him wildly.
Although Zhang Liao didn't say anything, he looked at Yang Ling with eyes filled with admiration.
He scared off tens of thousands of Jiangdong's troops while talking and laughing. No wonder Yuan Shu and his like were defeated at his hands. He was really a mastermind!
Yang Ling smiled reservedly,
"It's a good idea, but even if Sun Quan and the others leave, don't be careless, lest they come back and fight back."
"Here!"
The three of them took the order together.
Just as they were about to get up and go down the city wall, they saw a messenger rushing up the city wall.
"Military advisor, something bad happened. After the Jiangdong troops walked ten miles, they actually turned around and came back to kill them?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yun and the other three couldn't help being shocked, and subconsciously looked at Yang Ling.
Yang Ling wished she could give herself a big mouth.
Has my crow's mouth been enlightened?
"Military advisor, this... what should we do?"
Ji Ling asked tremblingly.
Yang Ling calmed down and called out,
"General Wenyuan!"
He didn't say much, but Zhang Liao looked solemn and said in a deep voice,
"Please rest assured, military advisor, the general will not let you down!"
"That's good!"
Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
While they were talking, dust was flying in the distance, covering the sky like a raging earth dragon.
It was Jiangdong's troops who came back to kill them again!
