Jia Xu was not very sure of what he said, and Liu Wei was not too convinced......

The formation is too mysterious, those who believe it blow into the sky, and those who don't believe it are denounced as shit. There is never any formation mentioned in serious military history, and the formation only appears in folk literature such as romance or storytelling, and the most famous is probably Zhuge Liang's gossip array.

"Is there really such a thing as a formation?" Liu Wei said suspiciously: "I haven't heard anyone say it? ”

Jia Xu glanced at Liu Wei and laughed: "Your Majesty is high in the temple, and he cares about governing the country, of course he doesn't know these secret things." There is a formation, but its effectiveness is seen by the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. ”

Jia Xu told Liu Wei some things about the formation, and Liu Wei listened, and then he knew that he was really lonely.

There are two kinds of formations, one refers to the battle formation used by training soldiers, including the coordination of arms during combat. There is nothing mysterious about this formation, as long as anyone who has studied military affairs understands it, it is nothing more than a phalanx, a circular formation, and the like. The other formation is a bit mysterious, like Wangri, it is a mystical knowledge in military science, which only specialized people can master, and the inheritance is also very secretive and unknown.

It is said that there are two sources for this formation. One is Momen. Momen takes it as its own responsibility to stop the war and not attack, and often uses force to stop the force, and win more with less, so the study of the formation method is very in-depth. The second is the Yin and Yang family. The Yin-Yang family usually calculates, combined with the Yin and Yang Five Elements Bagua and other mathematical techniques, can use various terrain, weather and other external factors to use their strengths to lead the other party into a disadvantageous place.

The knowledge of these two schools has contributed to the exhibition of the formation. At the same time, it is also destined that the inheritance of the formation is very secretive.

With Jia Xu's knowledge, he had only heard of the formation, but had not seen it with his own eyes. The reason why I had the opportunity to hear about it was because of his fellow villager - Duan Cheng, one of the three Mings in Liangzhou. When Duan Cheng fought against the Qiang people in Liangzhou, there was a hermit named Fan Zhizhang under his tent, who was proficient in magic and familiar with formations, and once helped Duan Cheng to give advice and pacify Dongqiang. Especially in the battle of Huangzhong. If there is no him. Duan Cheng was probably trapped to death by the Qiang.

"Lu Bu is a shrewd man with a keen sense of smell, and once he realizes danger, he will quickly retreat. There will be no hesitation. If there is no formation. Hardly anyone could trap him. Jia Xu frowned. His eyes were very solemn, and it was the first time for Liu Bian to see him so entangled. When he encountered anything before, Jia Xu usually didn't think about it. can come up with a solution, and there is no other situation like today.

"If trapping Lu Bu was just an accident, then it would be particularly suspicious that they didn't attack the Yuanyuan Pass." Jia Xu continued: "Although Wu Xuan is well-commanded and the soldiers are brave in battle, the courage of Dian Wei, Guan Yu, and Sun Jian is not something that ordinary soldiers can resist. If Cao Cao really wanted to attack the city, Yuyuan Pass would definitely not last for three days. They don't attack, it's just that they don't want to. I don't want to attack because it is not conducive to arranging the formation. Their arrays can only be spread out in the mountains. ”

Liu Wei also frowned, the other party's purpose is not to pass the Yuanguan, so who could it be?

"The ministers are daring, their goal is His Majesty!"

Liu Wei was stunned, took a deep breath, and looked at Jia Xu's gaze coldly. He agreed with Jia Xu's speculation that the target of such a big game for Fang Bu could not be Lu Bu - even if Lu Bu was the world's leading general - but him.

Only when he, the true son of heaven, dies, can the Han be considered dead. Whether Yuan Shao establishes Liu Xie as the Son of Heaven or is self-reliant, there will not be much hindrance. If he doesn't die, Yuan Shao won't be able to control the overall situation, and he won't even dare to enter Luoyang lightly.

Cao Cao obviously realized this, so he did not lightly break through the Yuyuan Pass and march to Luoyang, but set up a large array in Songgao Mountain and lured Lu Bu into it as bait to catch his big fish. Kill him, Yuan Shao's major matter has been decided, and of course he will not treat Cao Cao and others badly.

Liu Wei remembered Xi Zhicai and called Xun You again. After Xun You listened, he was also a little nervous.

"I don't know if Xi Zhi understands the formation, but the text and analysis are very reasonable, and I also agree with His Majesty to be careful."

"Are you familiar with military affairs, have you ever heard of formations?"

"I've only heard about it, but I haven't actually touched it." Xun You's eyebrows frowned: "It is said that the arrangement of the formation should break the natural balance and forcibly change the feng shui of a place, there are too many factors to calculate, and it is extremely exhausting...... Those who are not great wisdom cannot set up formations, and they dare not set up formations. ”

Liu Wei discussed with Jia Xu and Xun You for a long time, but in the end they still did not come to a definite conclusion. They only speculated that there might be a formation from the actions of Cao Cao and others, but they didn't know anything about whether there was a formation or what kind of formation it was.

And the time left for them is very limited.

……

Guan Yu sat on a pine tree lying horizontally, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. The bamboo slips are dark yellow, the bamboo skin is bright, and a ribbon that has lost its color is tied around the middle waist.

Guan Yu twisted the ribbon, his fingers were gentle, thoughtful.

"Alas, second brother, you see, the eagle is here again." Zhang Fei leaned over, pointed to a black dot hovering in the sky in the distance, and said greedily: "If only I were that eagle, no matter what the enemy, it would not be able to escape my eyes." ”

Guan Yu glanced at him: "You don't want to be a good person, do you have to be a flat-haired brute?" ”

Zhang Fei disagreed: "Qingfeng is not flat hair? ”

Guan Yufeng's eyes widened, then he smiled again, stroked his long hair, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Yide, I know that you envy me, so I won't worry about you." However, as an elder brother, I have a sentence to advise you, this enlightenment of destiny depends half on talent and half on cultivation, and it cannot be forced. As for you, your talent is not bad, but your cultivation skills are too bad, so you still have to read more. ”

"Look at your majesty." Zhang Fei's eyes were complicated, but he refused to give in. "Do you think that after reading a few sentences in the Spring and Autumn Period, you will be considered a Confucian scholar? Who of those scholars looks at you? ”

"Who's going to do with those vulgar people?" Guan Yu disagreed, re-unfolded the bamboo slip, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Be a gentleman, don't be a villain." The gentleman is righteous, and the villain is ......"

"Whew!" Zhang Fei couldn't argue with Guan Yu, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm indignantly. Liu Bei walked over and frowned: "Yun Chang, Yide, are you bickering again?" ”

"Nothing." Zhang Fei stood up, put on a smiling face, and said, "What do you have to say, brother?" ”

Liu Bei stroked the scars on his face and sighed: "It's nothing, I just came back from the Chinese army, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw Xi Zhicai." He glanced at Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, in extraordinary times, those words such as gentlemen and villains are put away first, and now it is the corporal in the world who has no way, and it is the righteous move of the gentleman who is worried about the avenue." You always say, if someone reaches the ears of the alliance leader, what is it okay? Think about it, can someone you know be as talented as Xi Zhicai? ”

Guan Yu was silent. He knew that Liu Bei was dissatisfied with his remarks and was weak-hearted. Liu Bei has always regarded himself as a clan, but now he is attached to Yuan Shao to oppose the imperial court, although he is forced to do it as a last resort, after all, he is ashamed, his name is not right, his words are not good, and he can't listen to these righteous and beneficial distinctions.

"Brother, do you really believe in Xi Zhicai's nonsense?" Guan Yu choked and said: "What is the trapped dragon formation, Lu Bu is just unfamiliar with the terrain, and he is just in ambush for a while. Mountains are conducive to foot combat, not conducive to cavalry, this is common sense of soldiers, what is the relationship with formations? He fooled his brother, brother don't be fooled by him. ”

Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu helplessly. Guan Yu's loyalty is impeccable, and his martial arts and abilities are second to none, but this temper is too arrogant. In his eyes, there are few people in the world who are gentlemen. If he is attached to Yuan Shao, will he also be classified as a villain?

Liu Bei turned his head, looked at the sky in the distance, and said faintly: "Yun Chang, you can't say that, the land of Ruying, the family is deep, the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and there are many talents." It is normal for them to have some secret inheritance knowledge that is not known to the world. For example, we haven't heard of the guide map before. ”

Guan Yu wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that the sentence just now touched Liu Bei's sadness again.

"Brother, this battle has made a meritorious service, I want to ask the alliance leader to come forward, let Xu Shao see my brother's life, and then reward him with the corresponding guide map to help my brother understand his life."

"Thank you for the clouds." Liu Bei was sad: "I only hope that after the alliance leader attacks Luoyang, he can keep his promise, set up King Chen Liuwang as the emperor, and reconcile the royal family with Confucianism to build peace." Otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with myself. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other and lowered their heads in unison.

……

Xi Zhicai leaned on the boulder, his face was yellow, his eyes were closed, and he was dripping with cold sweat.

Cao Cao sat nervously on the side, and stopped talking several times. He looked at the calculation in front of Xi Zhicai, and his mood was complicated.

The family is really hidden, and there is such a magical formation, and he claims to be familiar with military books and has studied Sun Tzu's art of war quite deeply, but he has never heard of the true face of the formation. Fortunately, such a wizard came under his tent. With the help of Xi Zhicai, he can build a miracle and remove the trouble of Yuan Shao's henchmen. After this battle, he will become a decisive general under Yuan Shao's account, and he will no longer be an insignificant general of Xingfenwu.

After a long time, Xi Zhicai opened his eyes.

"Zhicai, how's it going?"

"In two days, the faint king will come."

"Can we make it then?"

"Absolutely." Xi Zhicai laughed, looked at Cao Cao with strange eyes, saw Cao Cao's heart furious, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and asked curtly: "Zhicai, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know what's going on, I'm exhausted, and there's still something I don't know." Xi Zhicai's eyes fell on the calculation: "Moreover, judging from the hexagram, you may have a catastrophe." ”

Cao Cao gasped, his face turned pale, and he said for a long time: "Can you solve it?" ”

"If you can solve it, just don't let Guan Yu go into battle." Xi Zhicai rubbed his temples with a tired face: "I always feel ...... He seems to be at odds with the general, and he is incompatible. This number is as strange as Li Guang, but it is rare to see in a hundred years. ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he was suspicious...... (To be continued......)
