I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 46: Taking advantage of Gongsun Wan'er's trap

She touched her face and gritted her teeth secretly. "I'm willing to accept the loss. Isn't it just three slaps? Let him hit me. I, Gongsun Wan'er, am not someone who can't afford to lose!"

Shen Changgong played with the mask in his hand, looked at Lu Bing and said,

"Except for those on duty in the palace to protect the emperor, call all the other shadow guards here. Oh, and there's an unconscious man in the tree outside the southwest courtyard wall. Bring him here. I want to teach you something."

"I obey my orders!"

Lu Bing sighed and asked someone to go and call for help.

Soon, more than a hundred people arrived and lined up neatly, with three sitting and two lying down.

Shen Changgong did not fight, but sat on the chair with a big horse and a golden sword, looking at the people in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said,

"I guess when Gongsun Wan'er told you I was coming to take over you, you weren't convinced. Now you're convinced?"

Lu Bing sighed and said,

"In our Shadow Guard compound, the guards are very strict. Everyone is good at lurking and killing people. They are very vigilant. But you, sir, walked into the middle of the place easily as if there was no one there, and even put the knife to the neck of Master Gongsun.

We are no longer dissatisfied, please punish us, sir."

After hearing what Lu Bing said, Shen Changgong felt that Lu Bing was a smart and humble person with great potential.

At least the attitude is good.

He went on to say,

"I came in like this this time not because you are dissatisfied and I did this on purpose to humiliate you.

I didn't mean that. I did this for only two purposes.

First, let me show you what I can do, and second, let me show you what you can do.

Now that you have seen my abilities, let me tell you what I think of you."

The shadow guards all raised their heads and looked at Shen Changgong, waiting for his reprimand.

If you lose, you lose. So many people were easily sneaked in by others. Even if they say something is a bunch of stinky shit, they have to admit it.

However, Shen Changgong said,

"As an assassin organization, you have done a great job and have many commendable qualities."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

They originally thought that Shen Changgong would humiliate them, but unexpectedly they received positive comments.

“However, as the sharpest sword and the hardest shield in the hands of the monarch, you still have a long way to go.

Everyone please sit down and take a rest, we will have to work later."

Everyone sat down cross-legged and looked at Shen Changgong.

Shen Changgong said seriously,

"Let me take my infiltration this time as an example. First of all, it's your patrols and secret sentries.

The patrol takes half a cup of tea, and they pass through once at the same speed and frequency. The gaps in between are easy for people to take advantage of. Half a cup of tea is enough time for an assassin to do many things.

The speed will remain the same, but the formation will change. Each person will be five meters apart, patrolling in a circle, with the head and tail connected. This way, if one of them is attacked, the others can react immediately.

There are also secret sentries standing guard, the distance is too far, and it is easy for a single person to get into danger without others knowing.

There should be at least two people standing guard, two steps apart, and each sentry should be able to see at least two sentries on both sides, so that it is safe."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. These were the most intuitive and useful things.

Lu Bing asked,

"Captain, how do you set up those traps so that you can attract people and still get out safely?"

Shen Changgong said calmly,

"Because when the gong sounded, I was already near this room."

"What? How is that possible?"

"Can you fly? How could you fly from the outer wall to here in an instant?"

"It's impossible to fly that fast. Those injured ones didn't even see anyone."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Shen Changgong waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet, and then told them one by one how he set the trap, how he sneaked in and hid, and how he sneaked into the beam of the training room.

Everyone was stunned and shocked by the series of traps, and was full of admiration.

Lu Bing frowned and asked,

"Captain, there is one thing I am still unclear about."

"explain."

"How can you guarantee that all of us will rush over to kill the enemy and leave no one behind to guard here?

If we leave more than ten of us behind, we will be able to capture you if you don't kill anyone."

Shen Changgong smiled slightly and pointed at Gongsun Wan'er.

"because of her."

Gongsun Wan'er, who was happily eating melon, was stunned when she heard this. How does this have anything to do with me?

Shen Changgong asked,

"Lu Bing, when we heard the enemy attack, was it Gongsun Wan'er who told you all to go out, and that's why you all followed her out?"

Everyone nodded.

Gongsun Wan'er suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Shen Changgong continued,

"That's because I've been planning this from the very beginning and taking advantage of this stupid woman."

"Did you have to say that last sentence? What was I stupid about?"

Gongsun Wan'er glared at Shen Changgong.

"Before coming here, I told her that I wanted to sneak in here and see what you guys are capable of. She thought I couldn't do it, so I made a bet with her that the loser would get beaten.

She really wanted to beat me, but she also didn't want to be beaten by me, so she really wanted to beat me.

I deliberately created some noise to let you know that there was an enemy attack. You may not know who I am, but Gongsun Wan'er must know that it was me.

She desperately wants to capture me alive and humiliate me, so she will order all of you to go out and capture me with your greatest force.

I took advantage of her competitive spirit, lured you all out, and hid you on the beams.

This move, in military strategy, is called making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and luring the snake out of its hole."

Everyone was secretly astonished after hearing this. One thing after another, using traps and human hearts, they completed such an ingenious arrangement.

fantastic.

Their previous dissatisfaction with the captain had turned into great admiration for him.

"You're using me? You're cheating!"

Gongsun Wan'er glared at Shen Changgong in dissatisfaction.

"Why did I cheat?"

"You use military tactics."

"Is there a rule against using military tactics?"

"I didn't expect you knew military tactics."

After saying this, Gongsun Wan'er regretted it. Shen Changgong always had a copy of "The Southern King's Art of War" in his arms.

Shen Changgong did not dwell on this topic any more and said,

"How's the intelligence gathering going? Is Chen Anmin in the Duke of Liang's mansion?"

"Yes, there is a spy in the Duke of Liang's mansion. We have already found out that he lives in the guest room in the west house of the Duke of Liang's mansion."

When it comes to business, Gongsun Wan'er is quite professional and immediately tells the information one by one.

Shen Changgong nodded and said,

"Lu Bing, pick out ten good fighters and go with me to the Duke of Liang's mansion to capture Chen Anmin."
