Chapter 328

This was enough to show the pressure in his heart!

"Idiot!"

"I have a bad premonition; this Changancheng is too wrong."

Chu Kuang cursed out loud, spit flying.

"With your intelligence, a hundred of you wouldn't be enough for the Living Yama to play with. If you were in charge of the army, one hundred thousand men wouldn't be enough for you to send to their deaths!"

"Anyone with a brain knows that there must be a trap!"

"If our army advances rashly, we will definitely fall into a trap!"

"Who else but that Living Yama has the guts to play the zither so leisurely in front of ten thousand troops?"

"Do you think that Living Yama can hold any good intentions in his belly?"

Chu Kuang's fierce scolding directly made the deputy general beside him lower his head in shame.

These words directly woke him up.

No wonder he could only be a deputy general in this life!

Atop the walls of Changancheng.

Gao Yang played the zither, the music melodious and lingering, his fingers sliding across the strings, bringing out beautiful notes.

Behind him, Shangguan Wan'er and Lv Luo stood on the left and right respectively, gazing at the fierce Chu army in the distance, their faces tense.

Gao Yang was calm.

In the past, Zhuge Liang used the Empty City Strategy to confuse Sima Yi. Behind this was a "yang scheme," but more so a political exchange.

Breaking through this city would mean merit exceeding the master.

But setting aside the political factors behind it, the so-called Empty City Strategy is a psychological game.

Using the most extreme unusualness to amplify the weaknesses of human nature to the fullest, confusing the enemy, and making the enemy hesitate—this is the Empty City Strategy!

Below Changancheng, he treated the Chu army with fine wine and barbecue, as well as fresh delicacies and various other methods.

These would all plant seeds in the hearts of the Chu army, and then grow bit by bit into a towering tree!

He was curious, how much fear did the Chu army have for him now!

If the Chu army hesitated and didn't attack the city, then the Empty City Strategy would succeed.

If the Chu army attacked the city, that would also be fine; the suicide squad had a backup plan, which he had already prepared.

He gave a wink to Lv Luo beside him and said softly.

"Sit on this Young Master's lap to confuse the Chu army."

Lv Luo lit sandalwood incense and leaned toward Gao Yang, then sat on Gao Yang's lap very naturally.

She was even trembling slightly because of the excitement.

She didn't expect that the "flashy move" Gao Yang mentioned would be played so big.

This Chu army vanguard unit was only a few hundred meters away from Changancheng, but Gao Yang was acting as if no one was around, still playing the zither leisurely.

This mentality made Lv Luo admire him immensely.

Next, Gao Yang turned his gaze to Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes widened, as if facing a great enemy.

"Lord Gao, even I have to do this?"

Lv Luo looked curious, blinking her large eyes. "Did Young Master not tell Lord Shangguan beforehand?"

Shangguan Wan'er was going crazy.

Gao Yang had only mentioned the Empty City Strategy, saying it needed to be exaggerated, and that he needed beauties behind him, asking her to stand there to make up the numbers.

He hadn't said she had to sit on his lap!

Gao Yang kept a straight face, looking righteous. "Lord Shangguan, I have absolutely no other intentions; everything is to confuse the Chu army, for the sake of our Da Qian!"

"My heart is as clear as the sun and moon!"

"Lord Shangguan should still sacrifice and suffer a little, otherwise, if the Chu army discovers something is wrong, not only the Emperor but also the millions of commoners in Changancheng will be in danger."

Deliberate!

Absolutely deliberate.

She had fallen into Gao Yang's trap!

But at this moment, the Chu army was still eyeing them covetously not far below the city, so even if it was excessive, she could only endure it.

She also pretended to be natural and sat on Gao Yang's lap.

The two picked up fruit from the plate and fed it into Gao Yang's mouth.

Gao Yang smiled.

He swore he was absolutely not doing it on purpose.

It was just convenient.

If she didn't even sit on his lap, how could they talk about the day they had agreed upon?

"..."

Below Changancheng.

Within the Chu army vanguard, a soldier could not help but shout.

"General, the zither music has stopped!"

"That Living Yama has stopped playing the zither and has switched to teasing the beautiful maidservants beside him, hugging them, eating the fruit they feed him, how happy he is!"

Chu Kuang and the deputy general heard this and quickly looked over.

They really saw Gao Yang hugging them and eating the fruit being fed to him.

The deputy general's hot temper could not be controlled immediately.

"Damn it!"

"The Great Chu and Da Qian armies are facing each other, yet this Living Yama is there hugging and kissing!"

"Our army is here, yet he ignores us like this, it simply infuriates me!"

"General, forget about everything else, let's fight! Give him some color to see, snatch his woman, let me do it!"

Chu Kuang's expression was even more solemn.

He even gasped.

"The General was right, there is a great conspiracy inside Changancheng!"

He snorted coldly, "Ever since our army attacked this Changancheng, where has this Living Yama's methods been simple?"

"Various methods are endless!"

"Recently he harassed our army every night, and last night he suddenly took advantage of our army's lack of preparation to launch a surprise attack, causing our army heavy losses!"

"Have you all forgotten the tragic scene in the camp last night?"

Upon hearing this.

A look of fear appeared in the eyes of all the Chu soldiers.

Clearly, the scenes from last night had caused huge trauma to their hearts.

Chu Kuang looked at the yellow dog; man and dog, their gazes slowly met across time and space.

He took a deep breath and then said heavily, "Retreat a hundred meters!"

"Report to the Second Princess and let her decide!"

Atop the walls of Changancheng.

Shangguan Wan'er saw this scene, her face full of surprise. "The Chu army actually retreated a hundred meters!"

"They were really scared!"

Gao Yang said calmly, "Normal."

"Ever since they arrived below Changancheng, our Da Qian's national-protecting weapons have been endless, and combined with last night's grenade surprise attack, this group of Chu soldiers has long been scared out of their wits."

"Last night was a great victory, Da Qian has already occupied the advantage of defending the city, and today I came up with this Empty City Strategy, which is doing the opposite!"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, but then realized something was wrong.

Her expression changed, and she lowered her voice. "Lord Gao, you can talk, but can your hands stop moving around?"

A flush appeared on Shangguan Wan'er's icy face.

She kept warning herself in her heart to endure.

All of this was for the sake of Da Qian!

Lv Luo also bit her red lips and said, "Young Master, I suddenly understood your words from last night."

"Sometimes, this 'great hero' is indeed not easy to be, and the price paid is indeed a bit high..." ===== CHAPTER 330 =====
