Chapter 156: Ingenious and ingenious, the dummy deceives arrows, defeating the enemy with all odds②
Gu Wangshu's remarks had shocked the two brothers Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi.
However, when the two of them listened to He Lianhuan's brief and brilliant analysis, shock was not enough to describe their mood.
They just thought that Xiao Shu's strategy was too subtle, but they didn't expect that she actually used three strategies at the same time: "throwing bricks to attract good news, striking grass to scare the snake, and creating something out of nothing."
It was simply applying the strategy to a superb level.
To achieve this, one must master the art of war by heart.
The two of them asked themselves that they couldn't do this.
Under the burning gazes of the two men, Gu Wangshu felt a little embarrassed.
"Is this a good idea?"
"It's feasible, of course it's feasible."
"Then it's settled, we'll start taking action tomorrow." After speaking, Gu Wangshu glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.
"It's getting late, so I won't disturb His Highness the rest anymore." Gu Wangshu bowed and left his seat, bowed to He Lianhuan, and then left with his two brothers.
Opening the door, the cold wind outside blew the fur collar on Gu Wangshu's shoulders, and a few strands of hair were waving in the air, adding a touch of playfulness to her.
He Lianhuan stared at her back disappearing into the night before closing the door.
When he sat down again, his mind began to recall the scene when Gu Wangshu came up with the plan.
First, she rehearsed the scenarios that would happen when her plan was implemented, and continued to work backwards to ensure that nothing was left out before giving up.
After that, the dazzling appearance of Gu Wangshu's planning filled his mind.
When He Lianhuan realized that he was thinking of her, he was stunned, and then he realized that his lips were raised high.
It seemed that during the time he spent with Gu Wangshu, his smile became more frequent.
He Lianhuan took up his pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote three vigorous and powerful characters on the paper.
【Gu Wangshu】
After looking at these three words for a long time, I wrote the word "Xiyue" behind them.
"Wangshu? Xiyue?" He murmured softly and suddenly laughed out loud.
Wangshu refers to the moon.
The word "Fuguang" refers to the sun.
What a coincidence.
He Lianhuan put down his pen, picked up the folding fan, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.
The posture is casual, yet dignified.
He closed his eyes and tapped the folding fan in his hand, feeling very good.
......
Day two.
The people of Taiping City took action again, just like last time, they still went to the mountains to cut dead grass.
"It is said that Nalan's army is laying siege to the city. His Highness has ordered the dead grass to be cut. Will we resort to fire attack again?"
"It's unlikely. The Nalan army is still a long way away from the city gate. It shouldn't be able to attack them with fire attacks using withered grass."
"Then why do we need to mow the grass?"
"Oh, don't worry about so much. His Highness's wisdom is beyond our imagination. Let's do it if you want. I can't go wrong."
"Yes, yes, go up the mountain and cut the grass."
The people were full of doubts, but out of trust in He Lianhuan, no one failed to take it seriously.
In just one day, the dead grass piled up into a hill.
According to the plan to take care of Wangshu, He Lianhuan ordered people to tie up the withered grass into straw men. It took tens of thousands of straw men to tie them up before he stopped.
After everything was ready, peace returned to Taiping City again.
The Helian army should defend the city, and the people in the city could live their lives without any influence.
In a flash, a month passed.
Taiping City is still calm, but the Nalan Army that besieged the city can't sit still.
After keeping the troops stationary for a month, half of the food and grass was consumed. If Taiping City cannot be captured yet, once the food and grass are exhausted, the hungry soldiers will only be beaten, and then they will be in danger.
Fu Shoucheng ordered scouts to detect the enemy's situation.
After receiving the order, the scouts cautiously approached Taiping City, stopped in a safe area in Tribulus District, and looked up at the tall and heavy city head.
The Helian army stood on the city tower, but they looked weak, their lips were cracked and bleeding, and they were leaning against the city tower as if they were at the end of a powerful crossbow.
Seeing this, the scout ran back excitedly to report:
"Reporting back to the general, Taiping City's supply of food and grass is about to run out. The Helian troops guarding the city are all looking haggard and are not enough to cause trouble."
After hearing this, Fu Shoucheng's impetuous heart calmed down.
"This is very good. When the city runs out of ammunition and food, they will automatically open the city gate and surrender without us sending troops."
"However, since Helian's army may jump over the wall in a hurry and attack our army at night, we must not take it lightly."
Fu Shoucheng never expected that what they saw was what Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan wanted them to see.
We are not afraid that they will not take it lightly, but we are afraid that they will take it lightly.
The tighter their defense is, the better it will be for Helianguo, because what Gu Wangshu wants is to be noticed by them.
Three days later, the Helian Army guarding the city's head was so "hungry" that their eyes glowed green.
The aroma of food wafting from the Nalan Army's garrison ruthlessly aroused their taste buds and destroyed their will.
The scouts were even more delighted when they saw this, and reported the situation in Taiping City to Fu Shoucheng every day. Fu Shoucheng didn't have any doubts at all.
Night falls.
Gu Wangshu ordered people to dress the straw man in black clothes, wrap his head in black cloth, and cover his face with black gauze.
She looked at the more than 3000 straw men in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
Throwing bricks to attract jade means throwing bricks to attract white jade.
The straw man is the worthless brick, and the borrowed arrow is the jade.
"In ancient times, Zhuge Kongming borrowed arrows from straw boats. Today, we borrow arrows from straw people."
More than 3000 straw men were all transported to the tower, tied together with ropes, and slowly hung down from the tower under the cover of night.
The entire city wall is densely covered with straw men dressed in black. It is difficult to see clearly from a distance, and you can only see thousands of men in black sneaking down from the city tower.
It was late at night, but the Nalan army took turns guarding and did not relax at all.
Through the faint moonlight, someone spotted the man in black on the Taiping Tower. He immediately concluded that this was a sneak attack by the Helian Army at night, and the alarm bells sounded.
the guards shouted.
"No, Helian's army is going to attack our army at night. Get ready for battle quickly."
Fu Shoucheng, who was sleeping soundly, woke up immediately, rushed out of the Chinese army's tent, and looked towards Taiping City.
As expected, Helian's army climbed all over the city to launch a night attack.
He sneered in his heart. He was so hungry that he had no other choice but to take risks.
The distance between the two sides was quite far, and the Nalan army had already lost [-] soldiers during the siege. Fu Shoucheng did not want to lose more of his own troops due to fighting, so he ordered the room.
In an instant, Nalan's army fired thousands of arrows, and the arrows were dense like rain and shot at the straw man.
Gu Wangshu, He Lianhuan, Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi who were on top of the tower were waiting for this.
The sound of arrows piercing the straw man was exciting.
Whether throwing bricks and stones can attract jade, the most critical step is to alert the snake.
Only when the Nalan Army discovers Helianguo's actions will they take corresponding countermeasures.
The use of throwing bricks to attract jade and alerting the enemy were both used at the same time. No need for the Helian army to take action, no loss of troops and generals, and the straw man alone was able to seize the arrows of the Nalan army.
Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi looked at the rain of arrows with excitement.
He Lianhuan turned his head and looked at Gu Wangshu.
