Chapter 1687

"This story is called the Empty City Stratagem. The story tells of a resourceful strategist. He had few soldiers in his city and was unable to face the enemy's army, so he set up an empty city stratagem. He opened the city gates wide and played the zither on top of the city walls, ignoring the enemy's army. The enemy's general listened to his zither and felt that it was not chaotic at all. Thus, he suspected that he had set up an ambush and retreated with his army. That strategist became famous and was a role model for us strategists. "

When Strategist Pang mentioned the senior strategist, his eyes lit up and revealed a look of admiration.

Tuoba Zheng furrowed his brows and said, "You mean, the West Chu Country is also setting up an empty city stratagem? That beauty is playing the zither on the city gate tower, as if she doesn't care about us at all. She even opened the four gates to welcome us in, but her real intention is that she is afraid of us entering the city. She wants to use the soldiers to scare us away and make us retreat, isn't that right? "

Strategist Pang nodded repeatedly, "That's right! However, when I was listening to the girl's zither, I heard a subtle change in tune. The zither suddenly changed pitch, which means that the person playing the zither was panicking and went off tune. Though she hid it well, I still heard it. That's why I dare to conclude that the person who set up this empty city stratagem must have read that military book. He wanted to use the same tactic to scare us off, but he didn't expect it to backfire. The zither is the voice of the heart, and the girl's mind was unstable. Her zither was slightly messed up and revealed a flaw. Therefore, I dare to conclude that there is no one in the city and it is an empty city! "

Tuoba Zheng was overjoyed and slapped his thigh, shouting, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's enter the city now and capture that girl! Haha, I didn't think I, Tuoba Zheng, would have such good luck to be able to take down Yuezhou without losing a single soldier. If I report this to the imperial court, my royal father will definitely praise me. "

Strategist Pang was also very proud. Stroking his moustache, he smiled, "This is all thanks to King Chu and Royal Prince. Your fame has spread far and wide. When the West Chu soldiers heard about it, they were terrified and abandoned the city, leaving only this beauty behind. They wanted to use the beauty and empty city stratagem to make us retreat, but they underestimated the two princes."

Tuoba Zheng was so happy that he revealed his white teeth. Without blinking, he stared at the Thousand Faced Young Master and laughed, "Haha, West Chu lost the beauty and lost the city. Now that the beauty is mine, the Yuezhou City is also mine. Pass down my order. Everyone, enter the city at once!"

Strategist Pang quickly said, "Royal Prince, you are the vice general and should be the commander of the army. With King Chu here, you can't overstep your authority."

Tuoba Zheng could only suppress his excitement and anger. He reluctantly looked away from the thousand-faced young master's face and looked at Chu Shao Yang.

"King Chu, Advisor Pang has already made it very clear. Hurry up and give the order to enter the city. This is an empty city, and there are no ambushes at all. Even if there are ambushes, they are all cowards and cowards. If they encounter our army, they will definitely kill them all."

Chu Shao Yang did not say a word. He did not look at Tuoba Zheng, nor did he look at Strategist Pang. His gaze fell on Chen Ning, who was behind the thousand-faced young master. His expression seemed to be deep in thought, making it hard for others to understand.
