"Ah? What?"

"This, this, let Zhang Yan leave without a fight? How is this possible?"

After hearing Liu He's words, all the civil and military officials were shocked and looked disbelief. Even Hao Zhao, Wang Ling and Guo Huai looked at Liu He with some disbelief.

They thought that Liu He promoted their military posts to encourage them to be loyal to them. Although they also expressed their understanding of this and were prepared for sacrifice, they did not expect that the truth was not the case.

"Haha, I have a clever plan in my heart." Liu He smiled mysteriously, and told civil servants at all levels in the tent not to panic, and to still be busy with their own affairs in the county magistrate's office. After all those people left, Liu He said to Hao Zhao, Wang Ling and Guo Huai again: "I will distribute five hundred people to you next, and you will bring these five hundred people to open the city gate later..."

With such an order, Liu He asked the three of them to take five hundred people and do what he told him.

"Can this work?" The three of them looked at each other and were puzzled. Although they were famous wise men in history, their attributes have not reached their peak now, and they are basically late-stage masters. Their intelligence is not high now, so it is naturally difficult to understand Liu He's intentions. However, this did not prevent them from continuing to implement them seriously, so they did it as Liu He told him after almost no thought.

"What? Open the city gate and put down the suspension bridge? What is our lord doing?" After hearing about the birth of the city gate, some civil servants in the city changed their faces, and were shocked and scared. If Liu He had not given a strict order, they would have been allowed to go near the city wall, they would probably have run over to see what happened.

But despite this, they all made a secret decision that if Zhang Yan really broke the city, they would have to be wronged and surrendered to Zhang Yan.

Hao Zhao and the other two were also worried, not because they were worried about their lives, but because the city was easily captured and Jinyang City, which was finally recovered by the government army, fell into the hands of the thief again.

"You are all veterans, so I don't need to say anything about this at all, right? The scar is only a thousand mouthfuls. It's nothing special. And I'm with you, so don't be afraid, let's die together."

The three people were divided into three groups and said to their respective subordinates.

"Hehe, isn't it just a sweeping city gate? Our brothers have done a lot of this before, but we really haven't sweeping the city gate in front of tens of thousands of enemies. We have caught up with such a thing as showing off. How can we not do it well?"

"Yes, yes, please don't worry, we will definitely do this."

...

After listening to Hao Zhao and the others' orders, the soldiers not only did not be afraid, but instead showed some excitement.

After Hao Zhao and his team completed the deployment under the city step by step, Zhang Yan led the 70,000 troops under his command to arrive.

"Huh? What's the situation?" Seeing some people at the city gate quietly cleaning and not taking tens of thousands of troops seriously, Zhang Yan was immediately confused and did not dare to order an attack without authorization.

At this moment, a melodious sound of piano suddenly came from the top of the city.

Zhang Yan looked up and saw Liu He playing the piano gracefully on the top of the city.

"What's going on? This time, Liu He opened all the city gates, but he was playing the piano on the top of the city. What kind of conspiracy are he doing?"

Zhang Yan looked at Liu He who was playing the piano on the top of the city, and then at the calm people under the city. He could naturally see that those people were all dressed by soldiers, but it was precisely because he could see that he was extremely cautious in his heart. The other party dressed up with soldiers as if no one else was around and calm, and it was obvious that there was a conspiracy.

"Master General, since the opponent's city gate is wide open, it will save us a lot of trouble. Let's lead the army to attack directly." Zhang Fan, the captain of the personal soldiers beside Zhang Yan, quickly spoke.

But Zhang Yan shook her head and said seriously: "Zhang Fan, you are wrong, hehe, can't you see that there is something strange here? A discerning person can see at a glance that these people who are sweeping are all dressed up by soldiers. Because of this, we should be careful, because these are Liu He's tricks. The way of military tactics is empty, and the real one is empty. In my opinion, it must be that the military horses from Youzhou were transferred into the city. Liu He was lying under the city and was waiting for us to enter. As long as we go in, the other party will have all the ambushing troops. At that time, even if we escape, we have no place to escape."

When Zhang Yan said this, she couldn't help but remember the scene when she led her army to escape from Shangdang and was almost captured alive, which made her even more determined.

"Hiss... It turns out that this Liu He is so sinister." Zhang Baiqi broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this and said with lingering fear.

Baique nodded, agreeing with Zhang Baiqi's statement.

"Yes, Liu He, the little thief, is not very strong in combat, but the most hateful thing is insidiousness and cunning. Fortunately, I, Zhang Yan, are not stupid people, and I saw through his tricks at first sight. Humph, if you want me to be fooled, I will not be fooled. I will pass on my orders. The army will retreat temporarily, and wait until I can find out the truth in the city." Zhang Yan sighed and issued an order to retreat.

At this time, the sound of the piano stopped on the top of the city, but Liu He's voice came over: "Zhang Yan, you are a guest from afar. Since you have arrived in Taiyuan, why not come in and take a rest? I also want you to appreciate my new song."

"Hmph, you set up an ambush in the city, when I don't know? Today I am in a situation where I am inconvenient to accompany you. If you really let me enjoy the song, you can do it. When you capture the city and capture you, I will definitely let you play the piano every day."

Zhang Yan snorted, rode on the horse, and then slowly retreated, but she didn't see a smile on the corner of Liu He's mouth on the opposite city tower.

"This, this, really left?" Seeing Zhang Yan leading the people to retreat, Hao Zhao, Wang Ling and Guo Huai were all admiring, and they felt that the scene in front of them seemed to be dreaming. The soldiers who were responsible for cleaning at the city gate were even stunned. They even made plans to die, but they did not expect that Zhang Yan's army would retreat strangely.

"I wonder what kind of trick is this lord?" Chen Dao was also impressed and dazed for a long time before asking.

"The empty city plan." Liu He looked at Zhang Yan's departure back and said casually.
