Chapter 561: Burning Hulao Pass?
Looking at Hulao Pass with the city gate wide open, Qin Hao immediately widened his eyes and whispered to himself: "Is this an empty city strategy?"
The scene in front of me is too familiar. The city gate is wide open, the veterans are cleaning, and the literati are playing the piano. What is it if it is not an empty city strategy?
Qin Hao also did not expect that Zhang Liang would move the "empty city strategy" to Hulao Pass in advance. However, Zhang Liang, who almost never took risks, actually took the risk and used the empty city strategy. It can be seen that Hulao Pass has really reached the end of its rope.
"Zhang Liang, you are not Zhuge Liang, and Li Shimin is not Sima Yi. It is not that easy for your empty city plan to succeed."
Looking at Zhang Liang and Li Shimin talking across the city, a strange look flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and then he smiled lightly and said to himself: "Zhang Liang, it seems that you owe me another favor."
On the tower, Zhang Liang, who was playing the piano, also noticed a familiar gaze. When he saw that the person was Qin Hao, he was shocked.
"It's Qin Hao...will he intervene?"
Qin Hao is one of the few people Zhang Liang can't see clearly. He knows that Qin Hao has a special kind of tolerance for him, and he also understands why Qin Hao has such a purpose, but Zhang Liang still cannot achieve Zhang Jiao's spirit of selfless dedication. .
As for this time, although Zhang Liang didn't know whether Qin Hao could understand his purpose, he knew that the authorities were confused but the onlookers knew clearly.
The originally simple and clear situation has been turned into a puddle of muddy water by Zhang Liang. As the commander-in-chief, Li Shimin is in the middle of the situation, so he feels that there are many doubts and it is difficult to clear up.
But Qin Hao, who was completely aloof from the incident, did not need to be responsible for the defeat, nor did he need to consider the casualties. Naturally, he did not have so many worries. Therefore, in Zhang Liang's view, Qin Hao was the biggest variable.
Seeing Zhang Liang also looking towards him, Qin Hao's mouth flashed with a trace of amusement, and then he cast a meaningful look at him.
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he frowned, feeling complicated and slightly bitter at the same time.
"The more I owe, the more I owe!"
Downstairs, Li Shimin saw that Zhang Liang was no longer talking, but suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and shouted calmly:
"Zhang Liang, do you think I am someone like Xiang Yu? I won't believe you if you keep pretending to be mysterious."
"The reinforcements will arrive in seven days? The reinforcements will arrive in half a day. Are they all lies?..."
"Hello? Zhang Liang, please speak up, otherwise I would really order an attack..."
Seeing that Zhang Liang ignored him no matter how he called, Li Shimin's heart sank and he could only return with a cold face. Seeing this, Li Xiuning stepped forward to greet him and asked solemnly: "Second brother, is there anything weird?"
Li Shimin's face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of solemnity.
At this time, Yang Jian also came over and said seriously: "My dear nephew, Zhang Liang has never been involved in danger, but he did such an abnormal behavior. There must be fraud involved, so it's better to be careful."
Li Shimin naturally knew that, and he was very confused in his heart.
what to do?
Do you want to be sure to clarify everything before speaking?
Or risk a direct attack?
Citizen Li wanted to take risks in his heart. After all, his great enemy Xiang Yu was still in the pass, but the current situation was so chaotic that even he couldn't figure it out in a short time.
Zhang Liang is indeed a rare wise man in the world, and his current attitude is so weird that Li Shimin is afraid that Zhang Liang has some conspiracy.
But the enemy's reinforcements will arrive in half a day. Although I don't know if it is true or not, what if it is true? Li Shimin doesn't have that much time to figure it out.
"Brother Shimin, I think it's better to be careful."
At this time, Qin Hao came over and said with a serious face: "Zhang Liang is a traitor to the wise advisor. He is more important to the Ming Dynasty than five Xiang Yus, but now he does not hesitate to show up to lure our army into the pass. There must be a conspiracy."
"But now that the matter has come to this, what chance does Zhang Liang have to make a comeback?"
Li Shimin thought about it and couldn't think of any possibility, but just because he couldn't think of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist? Wouldn't it be a good idea to jump into the trap?
This is also the biggest reason why Li Shimin is so entangled. After all, he is only a general under Dong Zhuo, and he is responsible for the future of his soldiers and himself.
If Li Shimin was a king rather than a minister, he would never be so entangled, because then he would have the qualifications to be willful.
"Brother Shimin, it's never a mistake to be cautious."
Qin Hao composed himself, and then continued: "We can enter the pass with a small number of people to find out the specific situation of the enemy. In this way, even if the enemy has traps, it will not harm the fundamentals. At the same time, we can send spies to investigate the authenticity of the intelligence."
After Zhang Liang's series of misdirections, Li Shimin no longer dared to believe the authenticity of the information obtained by his spies.
It would take a lot of time to figure it out completely. Li Shimin didn't have that much time, but what Qin Hao said would minimize the risk and at the same time.
After listening to what Qin Hao said, everyone present couldn't help but nod secretly, and Li Shimin couldn't help but admire in his heart: No wonder Qin Hao is victorious in every battle, and few people can match his caution.
"That's all it can do."
Li Shimin nodded, and then turned around to give the order. The moment he turned around, an inexplicable smile flashed across Qin Hao's lips.
"Zhang Liang, I guess you will definitely do that. I can only help you so far."
Li Shimin sent out four waves of 100-man squads, but after entering, no one came out, not even a sound, which made all the Han generals anxious.
The results of the investigation ahead have not yet come out, so naturally he did not dare to act rashly. Li Shimin sighed and ordered: "Send the last team of dead soldiers in."
Someone from the fifth team finally returned, but they were all injured.
"General, there is an ambush. There are archers everywhere in the pass."
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and became more confused in his heart. The enemy's troops were not as strong as our own, so what if they all turned into an ambush? Street fighting is still an impossible match.
"Is there anything strange in the pass?" Qin Hao asked seriously.
The seriously injured soldier was stunned for a moment, then began to try to remember, and said: "What's weird? Nothing? Wait..."
The soldier seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "The ground, yes, it's the ground."
"What happened to the ground?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly.
"Black, the ground is black."
"black?"
Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately, and then he took a breath of cold air. Qin Hao matched his expression with shock, but secretly said in his heart: Zhang Liang, your empty city plan is really not that simple.
Li Xiuning didn't understand why the two of them were so surprised, and immediately asked: "What's wrong with the ground being black?"
"The ground in any city is black. The ground in most cities is gray." Li Shimin replied in a solemn voice, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
"Then why is the ground in Hulao Pass black?" Li Xiuning asked again.
Li Shimin glanced at Qin Hao and saw that the other party had such an expression, and then said in a deep voice: "Because Zhang Liang has laid coal and stone on the ground."
Coal?
Li Xiuning also widened her eyes. Of course she knew what the coal and stone were used for, and a terrible idea also appeared in her mind.
The reason Zhang Liang wanted to lure Han troops into the city was because he wanted to burn Hulao Pass to annihilate all Han troops?
