The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 402: Designing for Positive Investment
"How dare the other party do this?"

Wei Tao glanced slightly, but his face was very ugly. The barbarians didn't have much hidden thoughts. Anyway, Wei Tao easily figured out what Meng Huo wanted to do, driving the people to attack the city, that's what he wanted to do of.

These methods are also the most powerful methods that foreigners can use. Once the defenders are unable to attack, they will hide in it and take the opportunity to launch an offensive. Even if the defenders succeed, they can also take the opportunity to deplete the defenders' reserves , It can be described as a conspiracy.

"The Nanman is vicious, so he must dare to do so. Your Majesty, you should take precautions against this."

Following Wei Tao's question, there was one person who answered, but everyone regarded him as Fa Zheng, Fa Xiaozhi.

The reason why Fazheng is here is because Wei Tao feels that there are not many advisers around him at this time, but he transferred Liu Bei's original adviser Fazheng.

Although Lu Meng, Jiang Wei, Lu Xun and the others were resourceful and capable of acting on their own, they were not specialized in planning. The actual battle might not be worse than any top strategist, but in the long run, they might not be as good.

And Fazheng is also different from Zhuge Liang. Although the saying is also generally grateful to Liu Bei, but after Wei Tao buried Liu Bei generously, he went to ask him again. After Fazheng thought about it, he agreed to become Wei Tao again. .

At this time, Wei Tao's reputation of loving talents and being good at talents has some effect. Although he is a newcomer, and he is still a general, Fazheng has no intention of hiding his clumsiness.

At this time, the Dharma is just to speak and continue.

"In the past, I also talked to Kong Ming about the troubles in the Southwest. Kong Ming said that the barbarians have always been respected by force and are not good at resourcefulness. If they use tactics to deceive them, they will surely succeed! It is also possible to convince him!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly and said.

"Xiaozhi's words are not bad, but now that the barbarian king's army is approaching the city, if he wants to plan, he must be in the city. The barbarian is savage, but it is difficult to use his skills. I wonder if Xiaozhi has a way now?"

Speaking of it, Wei Tao was also a bit depressed. Originally, Wei Tao had prepared means to deal with it, but unfortunately, the number of barbarians who came this time was very large. In addition, although the road to Shu was still dangerous, it was still very difficult for these southern barbarians. But it was nothing, so after seeing the menacing approach of the opponent, Wei Tao knew that he could only temporarily garrison Chengdu, and he could only take back all the soldiers who were outside.

"I don't have any tricks, but I have a few points for stupid methods."

Fazheng smiled slightly, since he decided to serve as Weitao, a counselor like Fazheng was naturally unwilling to be left behind, but now he wanted to show his skills.

"Today I also watched the barbarian formation, and found that the result is extremely unreasonable. It is just relying on the crowd. If not, His Majesty can easily win by leading an army alone. So the first plan is to frighten the crowd. Divide your mind!"

"Oh? I don't know what to do?"

Wei Tao's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately asked about it.

"My lord, I don't know if Dong Zhuo's troops were insufficient when he entered Luoyang in the past? Now the Nanman is still enough to defend his own camp, how can he find out? As long as the lord orders his troops to come out quietly at night, and then do it at night, the barbarian king With knowledge, you must think that His Majesty will send troops here with Chengdu as his capital, and at the same time, the barbarian tribes must be intimidated by the lord, and they will not regain their courage!"

"Okay! Let's do this plan"

In Wei Tao's opinion, this plan was not bad, he immediately ordered people to leave the city quietly at night, and then appeared in the daytime to openly enter the city.

After going back and forth like this for three days, not only the Nanman was shocked, but even the hearts of the people in Chengdu were stabilized.
"It's really a clever plan!"

At this time, Wei Tao was admiring. It is not completely without reason that Fazheng was faintly above Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei's command in the past.

"What exactly is going on!"

But just when Wei Tao thought he had a plan, Meng Huo, the barbarian king, was very angry. After three days, the number of "reinforcements" entering the city alone was no less than the others, but they were unable to defend themselves at this time. , can only make people secretly irritated.

"Why did Wei Tao transfer so many soldiers from the Central Plains? It seems that Chengdu is indeed going to be the imperial capital. I said that Chengdu is so wonderful, so how could Wei Tao let us take it so easily?"

At this time, the cave master who brought him couldn't help but speak.

"My lord, if this continues, I'm afraid Wei Tao will hit the door before our siege weapons are ready. We should make plans early!"

"Plan, what plan? Chengdu is so strong, what can you do? Do you want the other party not to shoot arrows or throw stones?"

Meng Huo spoke loudly, almost in a posture of angrily reprimanding, but this is very common among the Nanman, and the others are not very surprised.

"Brother, it seems that Wei Tao is sticking to Chengdu. Why don't we go to challenge tomorrow? I heard that Wei Tao is known as the number one military general in the world. No matter how brave he is, can he still compare with brother? Why should brother care about that?" How many? Kill him directly before the formation, and no matter how many generals he has, there is nothing he can do!"

At this time, Meng Huo's younger brother Meng You said, Meng Huo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"That's right! This method is very good. You don't need Brother Meng Huo to make a move. Watch me kill that Wei Tao with a stick, and take revenge for the boulder that hit me today!"

Wu Tugu next to him also immediately said that although he was slightly injured when he smashed the slingstone in today's battle, it is obvious that he has recovered by this time, but he has written down this grudge.

"it is good!"

Even Wu Tugu said the same thing, and all the barbarians thought this plan was excellent, so naturally no one would have any objections.

Of course, if this kind of 'smart trick' is known to the public, it will be laughable, but it is just an ordinary challenge, what kind of trick is it?
In the early morning of the next day, Meng Huo, the barbarian king, led people to come, and ordered people to shout outside the city without any politeness.

"Then what Wei Tao, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"This kind of barbarian king is really easy to be swayed by others. Xiaozhi, do you think I want to go out of the city to fight? If I use force to suppress him at this time, I am afraid that the morale of the southern barbarians will be greatly reduced."

Wei Tao suddenly said this, originally Wei Tao didn't necessarily want to go out of the city to fight, but seeing that the situation was right at this time, he wanted to go all out.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget. At this time, General Gan Ning may not have blocked the Nanman's retreat. Even if His Majesty defeats the Nanman again, if he retreats, I am afraid that all his calculations will be in vain. !"

Fazheng immediately stopped him and said that he had already learned from Wei Tao that Wei Tao ordered Gan Ning to set off from Jingzhou immediately after the news of Nanman's arrival, and take advantage of the fact that Nanman had no military news. At this time, it is time to occupy each checkpoint and completely lock Nanman here.

"Xiaozhi really can talk."

Wei Tao shook his head slightly. He actually understood that it was also because he was worried that he would be invincible.

But it was a good intention, Wei Tao did not blame him.

"But Xiaozhi also knows that although people's hearts are temporarily calmed by Xiaozhi's strategy, it is not good for our people to let these southern barbarians run rampant. I don't know Xiaozhi's other tricks?"

At this time, Wei Tao needed a strategy to weaken the Nanman's strength.

"Hehe...it's not difficult, His Majesty is using a strategy of exhaustion!"

At this time, Fazheng spoke again. Hearing what Fazheng said, everyone looked over. Although Fazheng did not explain its use last time, everyone saw its effect. Naturally, I was also curious about what Fazheng said.

"Your Majesty also saw that the Southern Barbarian army was scattered. As for the defense at night, it is more common for its people to have the effect of hearing and eyesight. In this way, Your Majesty sent a small group of cavalry out of the city, with horses attached to the leaves, and galloped out like this, even at night. There is also faint smoke and dust, the barbarians must think that His Majesty is here. Such repeated harassment will make them unable to sleep at night. But I guess that the Nanman may be thinking of an ambush, so His Majesty can only let people do this three times, and they will return home. Rest in the city, let the Nanman be busy for nothing."

"Xiaozhi is a clever plan!"

Fazheng's strategy is not very profound to say the least, but Wei Tao understands that this kind of strategy is mainly flexible and clever!

And Fazheng's plan in this way is in line with this principle, Wei Tao immediately ordered it.

"Where is the righteousness? You should use your own army to do this, and you must make sure that the southern barbarians can't rest!"

"promise!"

Behind him, Tai Shici immediately stepped forward and agreed.

Let's say that Meng Huo yelled from morning to night, Wei Tao never responded, and after returning to the account that night, he was angry for a while, but this Meng Huo had the spirit of being a king, and when he returned to the camp, his expression was not good. Showing a little bit of annoyance, on the contrary, he sneered directly.

"It's a shame that Wei Tao is as cowardly as a mouse. He didn't dare to confront our army head-on. What if we have a large army to act like this? Once we have all the siege equipment, we will definitely be able to destroy the city in one fell swoop!"

"That's right! That's right! The Han people are timid and not our opponents!"

"That's right! After Chengdu is broken, everything that belongs to the Han people will be ours!"

"Okay! Come on! Let's hurry up and order those Han people to build equipment quickly, and make it overnight, and no rest is allowed! When the building is completed and when is it time to rest, if anyone doesn't follow, beheaded!"

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Meng Huo naturally took this opportunity to speak.

"And put the banquet on the table! I'll have a good drink with everyone!"

Meng Huo thought in his heart that after a banquet, they would rest separately, but he didn't know that when the whole night fell, the gate of Chengdu was quietly opened again.

With the experience of a few days ago, Tai Shici naturally led the troops out of the city quietly.

But this time, he didn't come for false reinforcements, but for the trick of exhausting soldiers.

It's ridiculous that the Southern barbarian thought that although the Han people had reinforcements these days, they still didn't dare to go out of the city to fight. At this time, their defenses were very lax, and Tai Shici couldn't help but secretly smiled when he saw it.

"Based on this, you still want to fight His Majesty? It's just a dream! Kill!"

"Kill..."

In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of troops and horses were mobilized to come!
