It was late at night, but Zhang Liang was passed into the king's tent in the starry night.

Although the pottery merchant has considerable confidence in Zhang Liang's proficiency in the formation, he still has to call him to confirm it in person, after all, he has agreed to fight with Liu Bei, and he still needs to know how much chance he has of winning.

"Liu Bei actually wants to fight?" Zhang Liang read the battle book, his expression was also a little surprised, and then he sneered: "It seems that the big-eared thief is afraid that he will be laughed at for doing nothing, so he wants to use the battle formation to hit the morale of our army." ”

Sure enough, Zhang Liang also saw through Liu Bei's purpose at a glance.

The potter did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "This king has already agreed to Liu Bei's challenge, and the time is set for noon tomorrow, and I am calling you here now to confirm whether you have the confidence to win for this king." ”

Zhang Liang was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The king didn't ask me first, so he agreed to the big-eared thief, it seems that he really trusts me Zhang Liang." ”

"That's natural, this king doesn't believe it, Zhuge Kongming's attainments in the formation can overpower you Zhang Liang." The potter smiled proudly.

The wry smile was only for a moment, and Zhang Liang's face immediately raised the familiar calmness, and said with a faint smile: "Liang has learned Huang Shigong's "Taigong Art of War", and the various formations such as Qimen Dunjia have never been used, and now it is time to move these things at the bottom of the box out to dry." ”

As expected, Zhang Liang was indeed proficient in the Qimen formation.

The potter relaxed his heart at this time, and said with a smile: "With your words, this king will rest assured, and tomorrow I will let Zhuge Liang see who is the real king of the formation." ”

The pottery merchant was in a good mood, so he immediately ordered to bring wine and food, and before it was late at night, he wanted to discuss with Zhang Haohao about the mysteries related to the Qimen formation.

The wine and food were served, Zhang Liang drank a glass of wine, but suddenly remembered something, and said: "Liang can only know the formation, but he can't personally go out to break the formation, and the king still needs to pick a capable general to break the formation." ”

"The generals under the command of this king are like clouds, Xiang Yu, Peng Yue, and Zhang He can all take on this important task, and who will fight is not a random ovary for you to choose." The potter said disapprovingly.

Zhang Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiang Yu and other generals have become famous, and sending them to battle will only attract the attention of the enemy. ”

"Hidden but not famous......"

The pottery merchant nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth raised a sly smile, and he secretly thought in his heart: "It seems that it is time to summon a heroic soul again and surprise Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang." ”

……

The next day, it was nearly noon.

The scout came with news that Liu Bei had led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave the camp, 7,000 soldiers and horses swept the formation, and the remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses began to set up a formation between the two battalions.

The potter then personally led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north camp to make an appointment.

In order to prevent Liu Bei from playing tricks and taking advantage of the battle to suddenly rise and fall the troops, the pottery merchant has ordered Xiang Yu to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, and deploy them behind the northern camp to take precautions at any time.

In order to prevent Cao Cao from attacking in the south, the potters left Zhang He and Peng Yue two generals, and led 40,000 elite soldiers to camp in the south camp.

As for Yuan Shang in Jinyang City, the pottery merchants only left 10,000 soldiers and horses, led by Yang Youji and Fan Xu, and stationed in the west camp to monitor, in case Yuan Shang took the opportunity to kill out of the city and rob the camp.

After all the arrangements were completed, the potter did not panic and calmly led the army to the agreed battle array.

In the front, thousands of enemy troops were distributed and arranged, and in an orderly manner, a large array with a radius of hundreds of paces was formed a moment.

The potter raised his eyes to look, but saw that the patchwork of this formation cloth was layered, with many portals inside, and slowly turning, changing at four times, unpredictable.

Hundreds of steps away, looking at the military array that had been arranged, Liu Bei was surprised, and couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Kong Ming's array is really exquisite, this king can't see the mystery and mystery at all, I don't know what it's called?" ”

"This array is called the "Bagua Array", and it is laid out according to the gossip of the five elements." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a faint smile.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei beside him pointed at the array and exclaimed: "Look, look at the king, what kind of gossip array does this gossip array seem to change, the gate of the formation is still facing us, how can we do this kung fu, and we ran to the northwest corner, it is really evil." ”

Zhang Fei shouted like this, and the rest of the generals also saw that it was unusual, and they were all amazed.

Liu Bei was also shocked, and looked at Zhuge Liang again in surprise: "Mr. Kong Ming, can your gossip array still change?" ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth raised slightly, and he said lightly: "This gossip array is arranged according to the five elements of the eight trigrams, and the cycle repeats, changing at four times, with a total of eighty-eight and sixty-four changes, so what you see one moment ago is one appearance, and what you see the next moment may be another appearance." ”

"Sixty-four variations?" Liu Bei gasped, looking like he couldn't believe it.

Zhang Fei was even more shocked and shouted: "This gossip array is also too wonderful, there are sixty-four changes, if people go in, they will have to turn dizzy if they don't turn, how can they be broken, Mr. Zhuge , you are too unfathomable, you can tell us honestly, what powerful means are you still hiding." ”

Not only Zhang Fei, but the rest of the generals all looked at Zhuge Liang with admiration and were deeply impressed by this young military advisor.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, shaking the feather fan gently, with a calm and strategizing temperament.

Liu Bei's gray face faded with surprise, and a self-confident sneer appeared, "There is such an immortal array as Kong Ming's military division, who in the world can break it, today it depends on the bad luck of the general under the command of the pottery thief, and in this gossip array, this king will definitely frustrate the arrogance of the pottery thief." ”

Liu Bei was full of confidence, and he did not hesitate at the moment, and ordered Chen Zhi, the commander of the personal guard, to dispatch and go straight to the Wei army on the opposite side.

Chen Zhi rode his horse and went straight to the front of the Wei army's formation, and shouted arrogantly: "Listen to the Wei lord potter, our army's formation has been arranged, if you have the courage, even if you send the future to break it." ”

The potter did not have the slightest fear, only smiled coldly, and said in a loud voice: "Go back and tell the big-eared thief, tell him to polish his eyes, and take a good look at how this king breaks his formation." ”

In front of the two armies, the pottery merchant openly scolded Liu Bei for being a big-eared thief, which can be regarded as extreme disdain, Chen Zhi was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to snort coldly and turn his horse back.

"I didn't expect that in addition to me, there are people in this world who are proficient in this formation, this Zhuge Liang is really a genius in the world......" Zhang Liang beside him, although his face was unscrupulous, there was a little appreciation.

Even Zhang Liang was admiring, it seemed that Zhuge Liang's deployment was indeed exquisite.

The potter said without thinking: "Ofan, do you have the confidence to break this gossip array?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang suddenly changed color, and looked at the potter with an incredible gaze, "You are the king...... Can you even see this gossip array? ”

Seeing Zhang Liang so surprised, the potter couldn't help but be stunned.

In fact, he couldn't tell what kind of formation this formation was, but he remembered that in history, Zhuge Liang's best formation was the gossip array, and now he wants to fight with himself, and he will definitely move out the best formation, so he guesses that it is the gossip array.

It's just that this Bagua Array belongs to Qimen Dunjia, which has been a mysterious secret art since ancient times, and there are very few people who know it, and there are very few people in the world who can see the Bagua Array, even if they know, they only know a little about the skin, and those who understand its operating principle are even more few.

Zhang Liang didn't expect that his own King Wei would see through this gossip array at a glance, how could he not be surprised.

Even if Tao Shangxuan understood what he was surprised about, he smiled and said, "This king is just guessing blindly, could it be that he guessed correctly?" ”

"You can guess it with any blind guess, the king's luck is really unusually good......" Zhang Liang also believed it, and said in surprise.

"Since it is indeed a gossip array, you should be able to break the ovary." The potter gets back to business.

Zhang Liang restrained his surprise, a confident smile reappeared on his face, and said unhurriedly: "This Bagua Array has a total of sixty-four changes, four changes at four times, and the cycle is very different from ordinary formations. There are eight gates in this array, if you accidentally enter the wrong one, you will definitely die, you have to enter from the door of life, kill from the door of rest, and then enter from the door to disintegrate this array. ”

Hearing this, the potter said happily: "Since this is the case, what are you waiting for, where is Meng Tian!" ”

The order was drunk, and a heroic general rode his horse and flew straight to the front of the king.

The new face in front of him is the heroic soul summoned by the potter last night, and it is the famous Qin general Meng Tian.

90 commanders, 96 military forces, 74 resourceful, and 63 political, such data can be called first-class generals in the world.

The Meng family, since ancient times, has been the general of the Qin State, and has won the trust of the successive monarchs of the Qin State, and Meng Tian is the first general of the Meng family during the Qin Shi Huang period.

After Qin unified the six countries, the Xiongnu became the biggest external trouble, and Meng Tian led 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, killing the Xiongnu and fleeing, recovering the land of Hetao in one fell swoop.

Subsequently, Meng Tian was ordered to build the Great Wall, starting from Longxi in the west and reaching Liaodong in the east, and conquered the northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, shocking the Xiongnu.

Zhang Liang proposed that the potters use a new military general to confuse the enemy and make the opponent look down on him, so as to facilitate the breakdown, and the potter chose Meng Tian from among the heroes.

"Meng Tian, this king ordered you to lead a hundred elite horsemen to break this gossip array for this king, you have the courage to go." The potter asked loudly.

Meng Tian's heroic and arrogant face, burning with a family of famous generals, the kind of self-confidence rooted in the blood, with a horizontal sword, said proudly: "For the king to go to the soup and fight the fire, Meng Tian will never give up, not to mention a mere military formation, why don't you dare." ”

The potter nodded again and again, admiring Meng Tian's bravery and self-confidence.

Just as he was about to let Meng Tian attack, Zhang Liang said: "Don't worry, don't worry, my words haven't been finished yet, although there are eight gates in this gossip array, but because of its formation changes from time to time, the direction of the formation gate is changing all the time, only when the Nasheng Gate is located in the east direction, when the Hugh Gate turns to the southwest direction, and then wait for the door to become due north direction, you can break this formation, otherwise the direction is wrong, even if you enter the right door, you will definitely die." ”

Listening to Zhang Liang's explanation, the potter couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and said in his heart that he still underestimated this gossip array, his understanding was too simple, he didn't expect this array to be so complicated, if it wasn't for Zhang Liang's reminder, he would almost have given Meng Tian's life.

"Then what are you waiting for, in the ovary, you can quickly tell Meng Tian how to break the formation in detail." The potter didn't dare to rush it anymore.

Zhang Liang summoned Meng Tian to him, and explained to Meng Tian in detail how to judge the formation gate, how to distinguish the direction after entering the formation, and all the precautions for breaking the formation.

Only then did the potter realize that this breaking formation was really a technical job, and summoning Meng Tian was the right one.

Breaking the formation is by no means relying on force to fight and rush, you must have a super memory, be able to remember all the details that Zhang Liang said, and have keen observation, calm judgment, and decisive execution, so as to make the most correct choice in the dangerous formation.

As the commander of the Qin State, Meng Tian has both the bravery of a military general and the overall situation of a commander, and only he can remember and understand what Zhang Liang said about breaking the formation, and have the ability to implement it.

If it is replaced by a tendon like Fan Xu, the front foot nods his head and makes it clear, and as soon as the back foot enters the battle, he is afraid that he will forget what Zhang Liang said, and in the end, he will only mess around and give his life in vain.

"Do you remember them all?" After a quarter of an hour, Zhang Liang finished explaining and finally asked.

Meng Tian closed his eyes and pondered, pondering and digesting every word Zhang Liang said, and after muttering for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and nodded confidently.

The potter breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sword and pointed at the enemy formation, and said proudly: "Go, go and break Zhuge Liang's bird formation for this king, raise the prestige of my Great Wei army, and let your name be famous in the world in a war!" ”

"Meng Tian is gone!"

Meng Tian drank angrily, turned his horse, led a hundred elite horsemen, shot out of the formation, and went straight to the gossip array.
