In the following days, the Nanzhao army did not attack the city again, and Liangzhou City was also closed and not fighting. Chen Hao's empty city plan gave Liangzhou a chance to breathe, which has to be said to be a rare peace that Liangzhou has had in more than a month.

During this period, all the generals were confused about Chen Hao's failure to shoot the enemy commander that day. Because everyone could see that the Tiangang and Earth Demons around Chen Hao were as good as the archery technique. Since they could easily shoot the enemy's vanguard Ma Guanggao, they could naturally take Duan Zongbang's life. However, what disappointed everyone was that their commander did not do this, and everyone felt very sorry for this.

Chen Hao could only shake his head and smile bitterly when everyone was puzzled. He also knew that day was a great opportunity to shoot Duan Zongbang, but what if he could shoot Duan Zongbang? Although the death of Duan Zongbang would be a great loss for Nanzhao, it would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of this army. But so what? The 150,000 elite Nanzhao army outside the city has not damaged its vitality.

If all the elite troops of Nanzhao cannot be eliminated in this battle, it will still be a hidden danger to the future border of the imperial court. Therefore, Duan Zongbang cannot die, at least at this time, otherwise it is not clear that the Chief Long may have ordered his troops to withdraw due to Duan Zongbang's death. If it is true that he retreats as he said, all his plans will be in vain.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Hao had been defending Liangzhou City for eight days. Although the soldiers and civilians in the city were full of admiration for Chen Hao's soldiers to win the peace of Liangzhou without bloodshed. However, this could not be solved after all. Everyone knew that the Nanzhao army outside the city would not give up. So the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city were still shrouded in a hint of gloom in the past few days.

...

Under the pavilion beside the lotus pond, Chen Hao sat at the pavilion steps and looked at the pond in a daze. The pond was covered with green lotus leaves, crowded together like green disks. On the dark green lotus stems, fans were like sepals to set off the white and pink lotus flowers. The lotus flowers were in various shapes. The breeze suddenly rose, and layers of ripples appeared on the surface of the lotus pond. The flowers and leaves swayed gently, like beauty dancing, attracting several dragonflies to fly and dance over the lotus pond. Appreciate them quietly, which can be described as an elegant and simple landscape painting...

At this time, Shi Xiong and his son came over from a distance. Seeing Chen Hao watching the lotus in a daze, they didn't dare to disturb him and stood not far away waiting. At this time, Chen Hao turned his head and looked at the two: "Two generals, but have the enemy troops outside the city changed a little?"

Seeing Chen Hao asking, Shi Xiong took the lead and said, "There has been a lot of peace outside the city these days, and the enemy has not seen any abnormal movements! It's just..."

"What, what is the secret of General Shi's secret? You might as well say it straight!" Chen Hao saw that Shi Xiong wanted to speak but stopped talking and was confused, but he shook his head and smiled.

"Master, please forgive me for saying that although the enemy troops outside the city have not had any abnormal movements, they will definitely attack again after a long time. Although the empty city plan made by the Master temporarily retreated the enemy, it is not a long-term plan. There are still seven days before the fifteen-day period mentioned by the Master. The enemy will not remain unmoved during these seven days. What should we do then?"

Shi Xiong showed a solemn look on his face when he said this. Chen Hao's empty city plan could only be fooled for a while. If the enemy attacked the city with all his might in the past few days, it would be difficult for more than 10,000 people in Liangzhou to support the seven-day period.

However, Chen Hao did not respond, but he held a jar of strong wine and took a sip of it. Perhaps it was too strong, so he coughed violently. Then he looked at the fish jumping in the pond and chuckled: "The weather is really hot and I haven't eaten fish for a long time. General Shi might as well accompany me to fish. When the harvest is good in the evening, I will cook and prepare a whole fish banquet..."

puff!

Shi Xiong has thoroughly learned Chen Hao's strange ideas in the past few days. He was discussing how to face the enemy. The general actually thought of eating fish. This idea of ​​a bull head not being right, probably only Chen Hao in front of him could think of it. However, Shi Xiong did not dare to take Chen Hao's words seriously, because the previous military order seemed to have no root cause, but he finally successfully retreated to the enemy. Therefore, although Shi Xiong was anxious, he did not ask much.

But at this moment, Shi Xiong had no intention of fishing with Chen Hao. Seeing that Chen Hao didn't want to talk too much about this matter, he apologized and said: "The general must patrol the city and guard the security. It's better to let the dog accompany the general to fish..."

"Well! Well, General Shi, go and do your business! But General Shi is worried. The enemy will not attack the city in the past few days, nor will he attack the city in the next few days..." After saying that, he ignored Shi Xiong and picked up the fishing rod from the side and caught fish by the pond.

After hearing Chen Hao's last words of comfort, Shi Xiong finally let go of his heart. If this was eight days ago, Shi Xiong would not believe it. However, after seeing Chen Hao's strategy in the past few days, Shi Xiong began to believe Chen Hao's words.

After taking the reassurance pill, Shi Xiong gave a gift and turned around and left, but Shi Zhong stood there and didn't know what to do. Chen Hao turned his face to see Shi Zhong looking embarrassed to move forward and retreat, so he chuckled and said, "Why, can't fish?"

"Uh! I'm not hiding the commander, I only know how to eat fish but not fish..." Shi Zhong bowed and lowered his head with an awkward look on his face.

Chen Hao was immediately happy when he heard this, but then he smiled secretly, thinking that Shi Zhong was honest, so he advised himself: "What is the ambition of the Major General? Why do you want to talk to me!"

When Shi Zhong heard Chen Hao's words, he immediately said solemnly: "I'm not to hide it. The general of the Mo is a martial artist. His lifelong wish is to become a famous general and defend the territory and stabilize the world for the court..." At this point, Shi Zhong said with a little sad and angry expression: "Every time I think of the Southern Barbarian Cavalry slaughtering the land of our Tang Dynasty, the general of the Mo is unable to sleep all day long!"

This statement was sincere and touched by Chen Hao, but then he turned his face to look at Shi Zhong, and then said solemnly: "If you want to become a famous general to strengthen the country and defend the border, you have to learn how to fish!"

Forehead……

Shi Zhong was confused when he heard this, thinking that what is the relationship between fishing and becoming a famous general? This is simply something that is unrelated. However, out of respect for Chen Hao, Shi Zhongbing did not say these words, but asked tactfully: "Please forgive me for being stupid, what is the relationship between these two?"

Chen Hao just smiled faintly: "The knowledge in fishing is no different from marching and fighting. Some people wait quietly after throwing the bait, calm down; some people lift the fishing rod from time to time after throwing the fishing hook, and look very anxious; some people hesitate where to throw the bait, so that the hook has not fallen into the water for a long time..."

Shi Zhong listened quietly. Although he could not fish, he had seen some people fishing. He had also seen several phenomena mentioned by Chen Hao. Moreover, he had tried fishing and had a deep understanding of what Chen Hao said.

At this time, the fish suddenly moved, and a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Hao's mouth. Then he lifted the fish rod and a fish poop was pulled out of the water. Shi Zhong walked forward with a few steps, took the fish off and put it in the fish basket beside him.

After changing the bait, Chen Hao threw the bait into the pond, and then continued: "In fact, fishing is very similar to marching and fighting, and it is also a microcosm of human nature. Some people have always been leisurely because their goals are certain and the overall situation is already in their hearts. They act firmly and decisively, and they are so fond of anything they are not surprised by;

Some people are complacent for a little bit of flies, and the quick success and instant benefits are impetuousness and blindness; some people are not very clear about the overall situation and have uncertain goals, so they are hesitating, and opportunities and fighter opportunities slide through the hesitation..." As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, he picked up a bait and was pulled out of the water.

After hearing Chen Hao's words, Shi Zhong stood there for a long time. From Chen Hao's words, he learned a lot of things. Finally, he gave a solemn and deeply respected, and said in great admiration: "I will be taught!"

"Well! The Tang Dynasty still needs you young people to guard and come and fish with me!" Chen Hao was very satisfied with Shi Zhong's humble attitude. The reason why he mentioned Shi Zhong like this was that he didn't want such a good seedling to waste it.

Chen Hao ordered Shi Zhong in the tone of an elder, but Shi Zhong was not disgusted at all. Although he knew that Chen Hao was a few years younger than him, he still respectfully came to Chen Hao and caught fish. Because Shi Zhong found that after following Chen Hao for a long time, he naturally impressed himself.

"Remember! Fishing requires patience! If you want to make the fish a meal for us, you must know how to endure loneliness and never be impatient! It's not that the fish is not taking the bait, but that we are not patient enough!"

Shi Zhong nodded heavily, and then he held a fishing rod like a clay sculpture to wait for the fish. Chen Hao felt a little more relieved when he saw Shi Zhong so serious. Now the court's major general is scarce, and he doesn't want Shi Zhong to bury him like this.

As time went by, it was evening before he knew it. This afternoon, Chen Hao and Shi Zhong had a great harvest, and the two fish baskets were filled with fish. After Shi Zhong picked up the last pole, he looked at the fish in the bamboo cage with a smile. When he was young, he saw adults fishing very interesting, and he followed them several times, but in the end he was not caught a single fish because he was restless.

Shi Zhong carried the fish basket to the kitchen, but Chen Hao sat by the pond and watched the sunset, and the lotus flowers reflected in the sun, and couldn't help but chant softly: "The beacon smoke rose for ten miles, and the pool was quiet and sand. Several cries cried and birds complained about the years, but the miserable and sad geese were all over the world; the white dew collected the waning moon, and the breeze dissipated the morning clouds. The green willow farmhouse asked the lotus flowers: Remember who was selling wine that year?..."

At night, Chen Hao really did not break his promise and cooked a whole fish banquet in person. The soldiers of Liangzhou had never eaten such delicious food, so they all ate all the food in voraciously. Chen Hao's whole fish banquet made the soldiers of Liangzhou have a deeper understanding of Chen Hao. Since ancient times, civil and military officials have not been harmonious, so the generals and officials in the military are very disdainful of literati.
