thing that will make those lurking in the shadows fear us.Otherwise, everyone will want to try it out then, and they'll have too many people to deal with.Tonight's performance is to let them see their...After hearing her older brother's arrangements, Zhao Yu'er's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but give Zhao Yan a thumbs-up:

“Brother, your tactic of conjuring something out of nothing was indeed successful. And those villagers only stood there for a short while before dispersing to their homes. By the time Mo Yunchen's men arrived to investigate, they would have vanished like they were never there, leaving them unable to find the hiding place of those 'tens of thousands of soldiers,' no matter how hard they searched.”

Her older brother's use of "generating something from nothing" strategy, borrowed from the Cloud Warden Lián Fàn, was incredibly successful. She admired it greatly.

She was already impressed with the Cloud-Surrounded Commander, Lian Fan, when she read the military treatise. She admired how he could come up with "something out of nothing" in that situation and successfully deceive the enemy.

She never expected that one day, her beloved older brother would also successfully learn from the tactics of Lian Fan, and even fool the self-righteous Mo Yunchen.

And Lian Fan's stratagem of "creating something out of nothing" is about how, on a night with sparsely scattered stars and a faint moon, in complete silence, due to the large-scale invasion by the northern Xiongnu tribe, Lian Fan found himself outnumbered. His forces were only half that of the Xiongnu, and the situation was extremely perilous. Therefore, Lian Fan could only pace back and forth anxiously inside his military tent, racking his brains for a solution. He frantically flipped through well-worn military texts, desperately searching for a way out.

At that time, all of the generals around him advised Lian Fan to immediately seek help from neighboring allies and request reinforcements from all sides.

At that time, the Xiongnu were launching a large-scale offensive. Their neighbors would also have to worry about protecting themselves. If they were unwilling to provide reinforcements, or if they were truly unable to spare their troops, then things would be very dangerous for them.

So Lian Fan still firmly believed they should rely on their own strength to fight against the strong enemy.

Later on, after some thought, Lian Fan suddenly came up with the idea of using illusions to deceive the enemy. As the saying goes, "a wise general never tires of stratagem." The Xiongnu launched a large-scale attack precisely because their forces were insufficient. So they devised a way to make their army appear larger in number.

Thus, Lian Fan came up with the famous "scheme of creating something out of nothing."

That night, Lian Fan had his subordinates make arrangements.

The officers acted without hesitation and quickly carried out Lian Fan's orders. Soon, the sentries received torches and began patrolling back and forth, one end of the torch burning, the other held in their hands.

After a short while, all the soldiers in the camp came out. Each soldier held a cross-shaped torch, grasping one end with their hand and letting the other three ends burn. They then stood apart throughout the camp.

In this way, a person suddenly became three people.

Such an illusion quickly spread to the Hunnic camp. Scout soldiers told their commander that there were torch-bearing soldiers everywhere in Lian Fan's camp, and it was likely that reinforcements had arrived.

Upon hearing this, the Hunnic commander was shocked and dismayed. He hardly doubted it, believing that the reinforcements led by Lian Fan had already arrived, and predicting that Lian Fan would likely launch a large-scale offensive against the Huns soon. Therefore, he was filled with fear and panic.

Thus, after much deliberation among the Xiongnu chieftain and his lieutenants, they decided to pack up their tents and retreat north the day after.

As expected, the next morning, the Xiongnu troops hurriedly packed up their tents and retreated north. Meanwhile, Lian Fan seized the opportunity and ordered his soldiers to beat the war drums, their shouts shaking the heavens. With a fierce charge, they killed hundreds of enemies.

The Xiongnu soldiers were in a panic, trampling on each other and abandoning over 1,000 corpses.

The final result was predictable, Lián Fàn successfully repelled the Xiongnu soldiers and achieved victory.

……

Zhao Yu'er now stared at her older brother with eyes full of admiration, "Brother Emperor, you are so amazing!"

Zhao Yan smiled, looking at her with indulgent eyes, "If you were willing to use your brain, you could play these schemes better than your older brother. However, the reason why your brother's scheme succeeded was largely due to Mo Yunchen's careless thoughts. Mo Yunchen is too tense right now, he can't withstand any waves, so he lost a lot of his thinking ability. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deceive him."

If it had been Mo Yunjing instead, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to go to the city gate.

A person like Mo Yunjing would certainly see through his schemes.

But regardless, Mo Yunchen has passed this level for now. However, they must leave Beijang City tonight. After tomorrow, when Mo Yunchen's people visit each village to check, his scheme will be exposed.

He had to withdraw from Beijang City before Mo Yunchen discovered him. After all, the news from the capital would reach Mo Yunchen tomorrow. Once Mo Yunchen learned that Zhao Li, the most favored of Xuan Kingdom, chose Mo Yunze, he and Xiao Ba would definitely be caught by Mo Yunchen.

Thinking about this, he patted Zhao Yu'er's head, "Are you tired We have to leave here tonight."

"Leaving tonight But how will we leave Brother, the city gates of Beijiang are already closed."

"Mo Yunchen must have sent people out of the city to investigate. When they return, they will open the city gate. We can disguise ourselves as refugees. At that time, there will be refugees trying to get in through the city gate. We'll take advantage of the chaos and slip out."

Zhao Yuer blinked, it seemed her elder brother's schemes for tonight went beyond just one. The admiration in her eyes deepened even further.

Zhao Yan chuckled, "Don't look any further, brother emperor, go down. First, disguise yourself with a maidservant, and later when we leave the carriage, someone will replace us at the station, and we'll return to the city gate."

"Okay."

After Zhao Yu'er responded, Zhao Yan got out of the carriage and had Zhao Yu'er's maidservant get in.et up himself, but as soon as he moved, n Xuětáng woke up.Mò Yún Jǐng placed his big hand on her head, his low and husky voice carrying a hint of magic, "Sleep.""But brother and the others have return...
