Chapter 30 Know yourself and your opponent
Jiang Zhengyuan personally supervised the selection in Hezhou, and in the selection in recent days, he paid special attention to the actions of the Xia clan, and the performance of all the Xia clansmen on the field was decent, no one was very amazing and no one was ordinary, Jiang Shang had no news for a while, he knew that if he went on like this, he would not be able to explain to Emperor Sui.
At night, there was a dance music in a hall in Xia's pavilion, and there was a table of banquets, Jiang Zhengyuan and Xia Zhong were drinking and watching the dance.
"Virtuous nephew, the performance of the Xia clan is not ideal these days, the old man of the emperor has the heart to promote your children into the third hall, don't let his old man be disappointed. Jiang Zhengyuan said to Xia Zhong.
Xia Zhong looked a little embarrassed after hearing this, and then said to Jiang Zhengyuan: "Old Jiang, you haven't been in the clan for a long time, and now the talents of the Qingyang clan are withering, and there are only a few who can see the past, I'm afraid that there will be a negative emperor's love." Xia Zhong said and clenched his fist to the east.
"The Qingyang clan is gifted and intelligent, and in the early years, he and the Spirit Clan jointly created the Teleportation Array, and your clan has a lot of attainments in the formation, why don't you see a clansman showing it?" Jiang Zhengyuan said to Xia Zhong seriously.
After hearing this, Xia Zhong shook his head and said, "Elder Jiang, the formation competition requires many people, wouldn't it be unfair to do this?"
"Don't worry, the old man has already thought about this, you are in charge of the formation, I will increase the number of challengers tenfold until the formation is broken, and give the people of the world a fair referee according to the strength of your big array. Jiang Zhengyuan said confidently.
"Since Jiang Lao has a strategy, my nephew will arrange it. Xia Zhong said.
Then he glanced behind him, and went out alone.
The next day, the entire group terminated other competitions, and then the Xia clan 100 people quickly set up a formation.
When everyone was questioning, Jiang Zhengyuan appeared.
He said to everyone: "Today, we will compete in a different way, you will take turns attacking the Xia Clan's formation in batches of every thousand, if you can break it, I guarantee that you will all enter the Tiger Ben Army." ”
When everyone heard this, thousands of people quickly formed into one, and their hearts were full of hope, and they were all thinking about how easy it would be to play ten at a time?
Jiang Zhengyuan said again: "From left to right, all the thousand-strong teams will attack the big formation in turn, and if one team falls, the next two teams will pick up, and if the two teams fall, one team will be added, and so on." ”
"Let's go. ”
The first team began to attack, but I didn't expect the large array of 100 people to circulate, and the nine runes condensed into a formation in the air, only to see a flash of golden light, and the thousand people who rushed up were suddenly shocked and flew out, and after they fell to the ground, they got up and looked at each other left and right, obviously underestimated these hundred people before, and then they attacked in twos and threes in the distance.
For a while, thousands of attacks came one after another, and the Xia Clan's formation absorbed all the attacks, and everyone couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, the golden light of the formation flashed again, and the energy that had hit the formation would all hit everyone again, and everyone was hit before they had time to dodge, only to see them injured one by one and vomiting blood.
Jiang Zhengyuan waved his hand when he saw it, and the guard next to him shouted: "Next round." ”
In the second round, 2,000 people surrounded 100 people, and they had seen the power of the previous formation, so they concentrated all their strength and fought at the formation together, and the big formation still absorbed all the attacks, and after a while, they defeated the second round of 2,000 people. In the third round, a lot of people had already withdrawn, and then they stopped attacking because there were not enough people.
Jiang Zhengyuan, who was watching, looked at Xia Zhong and said, "Virtuous nephew, your Xia family's Nine Turns Qiankun Array can be said to be strong when it is strong." ”
"Elder Jiang has won the award, just deal with these loose cultivators. Xia Zhong said.
"I want to know where the limit of your Xia family's formation is today, it seems that there is an inexhaustible ability to transform, so I just helped you find a good opponent. Jiang Zhengyuan stroked the beard on his chest and said with a smile.
"I don't know who Elder Jiang arranged?" Xia Zhong said, looking around.
Jiang Zhengyuan sent out a transmission note, and in the blink of an eye, a brown flew from the sky.
All the monks saw that these people who came from afar were wearing a brown armor, all of them were holding copper-colored spears, and the first person was a man who was very popular, also wearing a brown armor, with a big red cloak on his back and a sword at his waist, he looked at Jiang Zhengyuan in the stands and said, "The Tiger Ben Army meets the Jiang Hall Lord at the beginning of Xia. ”
"Don't come to the early sun. Jiang Zhengyuan said with a smile.
At this time, Xia Zhong, who was sitting next to Jiang Zhengyuan, saw this scene, narrowed his eyes, and said nothing.
Jiang Zhengyuan looked at Xia Zhong again and said, "Virtuous nephew, this time it's not a loose cultivation, it is most suitable for General Xia's Tiger Ben Army to test your Xia Clan's Nine Turns Qiankun Array." ”
"Okay, let's try it. Xia Zhong said calmly.
Jiang Zhengyuan said to Xia Chuyang: "General Xia, let's start." ”
Xia Chuyang waved his hand, and a thousand sergeants came out of the army behind him, and they surrounded the hundred-person formation in nine directions, and then attacked in nine directions in a regular manner, and the hundred-person formation broke in a while. Jiang Zhengyuan looked at the nine directions and attacked for a moment before figuring out the mystery, and then Jiang Zhengyuan said to himself: "Know yourself and know your opponent." ”
After speaking, he looked at Xia Zhong and said, "Virtuous nephew, let's change the formation tomorrow, this formation will not work." ”
Xia Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Jiang Lao is not afraid of your jokes, our Xia clan will be the master of the Nine Turns Qiankun Formation, and other formations will not be able to take action." ”
Jiang Zhengyuan said again: "Virtuous nephew, don't be modest, as far as I know, you have studied the formation, and this Nine Turns Qiankun Formation is just one of them, why don't you let me open my eyes, and don't disappoint the old man of Emperor Zun." ”
"The little nephew will arrange it again. Xia Zhong said.
In the next few days, Xia Zhong arranged several formations, and the Sanxiu in Hezhou was definitely not an opponent, and every time the Tiger Ben Army came to break the formation, Jiang Zhengyuan thought while watching, he had seen through several Xia formation cores in a few days, so he thought in his heart: "Just use this method to remember the essence of the Xia Formation, if there is no other gain, you can barely explain it to the emperor." ”
At this moment, Xia Zhong was very angry in his heart, he thought: "What's wrong with Uncle Chuyang's fall, how can he help outsiders to demolish his own family again and again, Jiang Lao'er is too much, I don't know how to restrain myself for a few days, what's the matter with this." ”
In a room at night, two dark shadows were talking.
"Tomorrow we have to organize a match-up match. A young voice said.
"Childe, does he have a plan?" a hoarse voice asked.
"You contact the relationship immediately, and tomorrow call those loose cultivators to protest, just say that Jiang Zhengyuan is bent on shielding the Xia family, and it is unfair to want to bring the Xia family's Junjie into the third hall, and ask for the original competition to be resumed. The young voice continued.
"Yes!"
The next day, there were protests in the competition field.
Xia Zhong looked at the people below and said to Jiang Zhengyuan: "Elder Jiang, I've caused you trouble, for the sake of you and the emperor's wisdom, the little nephew immediately recalled the clansmen." ”
"No need. Jiang Zhengyuan said.
After speaking, he smiled at Xia Zhong, stood up and said below: "Anyone who participates in the competition of the Qingyang Clan's Great Array can go to the Huben Camp in Hezhou to report." ”
The protesters were stunned by this sentence, and then there was a cheer.
Jiang Zhengyuan looked at Xia Zhong and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, go on, the emperor asked me to come to Hezhou to recruit talents, I have to have an explanation, if you Xia don't show your hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the eyes of the emperor." ”
Xia Zhong didn't speak after listening.
The guards beside Jiang Zhengyuan shouted again: "Begin." ”
At this time, the scattered cultivators attacked the big array with a shout.
