Chapter Seventy-Four: Cao Ren's Eight Gates Golden Lock Array

After Gan Ning captured Zhu Heng alive, he captured Zhu Heng's 20,000 troops, and Gan Ning's army was already 100,000.

Gan Ning ordered a day of rest in Chaisang, and tomorrow the army will be sent to Huiji!

Jingzhou, Pang Tong and Zhang Fei's 50,000 troops have arrived in Nanyang County to garrison!

Pang Tong and Zhang Fei chatted in the handsome tent!

Zhang Fei said: Military advisor: Then Cao Ren and Yu Ban are Cao Cao's generals, but both of them belong to the generals of the army, not the generals of the armed forces!

I want Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning to go out and have a good time, and I Zhang Feiliang is in Jingzhou, but I have the opportunity to fight, but I am a soft egg, and I can't enjoy this snake spear!

Pang Tong said: Yide, do you know why the lord let you stay in Jingzhou?

Zhang Fei said uncomfortably: The lord is facing Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, not at all towards my old Zhang, or let them go out to have fun, leave me at home to watch the door, and become a dog!

Pang Tong said: Yide, you are very wrong! Jingzhou is the foundation of the lord, if Jingzhou has a foreign enemy attack, there must be a fierce general stationed, if there is something in Jingzhou, then the lord's 300,000 troops outside may have wolves in front and tigers in the back, so that the lord can not use troops with peace of mind!

Zhang Fei said: I know this reason, but let Guan Yu guard Jingzhou, and it doesn't hurt for me to go out to fight!

Pang Tong smiled and said: Yide, you are a general, and the lord is the lord, you will never think about something from the perspective of the lord.

You Yide is a general, and Guan Yu is also a general, but there is a little difference, there is a big difference in personality!

Zhang Fei said: What a different way!

Pang Tongdao: Guan Yu is an arrogant general, and his combat power is amazing, but Yun Chang has a fatal injury, that is, his character, because he is arrogant, he does not take any general in his eyes, and insists on going his own way, if he is allowed to defend Jingzhou, if someone comes to attack, he will definitely send troops to fight a decisive battle!

And you Zhang Fei is just a coarse person, a coarse person has an advantage, that is, obedience, if someone comes to Jingzhou, you will be obedient, because you Zhang Fei is thick and fine, which the lord has long seen!

Therefore, you are left to garrison in Jingzhou, and I Pang Tong assists, and the lord will definitely have no worries!

Zhang Fei said with a smile: As soon as the military advisor said this, my old Zhang's mood was very good. If you're in a good mood, you're in a good mood. Okay, military advisor, I'm going to inspect the barracks! You're left alone!

Pang Tong waved his hand and said: Go!

Zhang Fei turned his head and was about to be handsome, when the spies rushed in and said: "Military Division, Cao Ren's army has arrived, and it is camped five miles north of my Nanyang County!"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Pang Tong, and Pang Tong said to himself: Come so fast!

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Strategist, what deployment are we going to make?"

Pang Tong said: No need, it's late at night today, and they are marching in a hurry, and the soldiers' physical strength has been overdrawn, so tonight is very safe, we don't need to pay too much attention. Tomorrow to see if they have and deploy, Yide remember, we are defending the city, and nothing else matters!

Zhang Fei came out of the handsome account after listening to Pang Tong's words.

Zhang Fei watched from the city tower, very afraid of the enemy's sneak attack at night, Zhang Fei was so sleepy that he wanted to stare at the city tower for a while, but when he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright.

Zhang Fei got up and said to the guards: What happened last night?

The guard said: No, there was no movement last night!

Zhang Fei stood up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the sky, good weather, wind and sunshine!

This is Zhang Fei looking into the distance, looking at the large amount of dust rising in front of him, Zhang Fei shouted: Not good, alert. The enemy army is marching!

Pang Tong also received news that Cao Ren had marched. Pang Tong also came to the city tower!

Zhang Fei looked at Cao Ren under the city and didn't know what he was doing, there were 40,000 people in a circle under the city, but they were scattered, and there was no chaos at all.

Outside, there are layers of shield soldiers. There is a general's platform in the middle, and Cao Ren is standing on the general's platform with a flag in his hand.

Zhang Fei scolded: Cao Ren, if you want to attack the city, attack the city, don't mess around below.

One of the enemy soldiers rushed out on horseback and shouted: Zhang Fei, do you know my general's formation, do you have the courage to go out of the city to break the formation?

At this time, Zhang Fei knew that this was a formation, but he didn't know what a formation it was, so Zhang Fei didn't have the idea of rushing out to break the formation! But wait for the military advisor Pang Tong to come!

Pang Tong went up to the city tower and looked at Cao Ren's formation, Zhang Fei saw Pang Tong coming and walked towards Pang Tong. On the side of Pang Tong, he said: "Military division, how can we break the formation!"

Pang Tong said: Cao Ren can put up such a formation, and he really has the talent of a general!

Then he said to Zhang Fei: Yide, we are not in a hurry to break the formation, now in the morning, you see that their morale is strong, let's go to drink tea first, chat, and so on, in the afternoon, their morale is low, how about I try to break the formation?

Zhang Fei smiled and said: Look, I know Cao Ren's formation, and I can't hide it from our military advisor! Okay, let's go have a cup of tea, chat, have a good rest, and after recuperating our energy, we will work hard to give him a vote!

Pang Tong smiled: Okay, let's go to the camp to rest!

After the two arrived at the camp tent: Zhang Fei and Pang Tong were talking nonsense, and when it was time for lunch, the whole army was eating! Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask Pang Tong and said: "Military advisor, what kind of formation is this Cao Ren?"

Pang Tong said with a smile: Cao Ren's formation is called "Eight Gates Golden Lock Array" created by Sun Bin, and at first there were only eight gates, namely Hugh Gate: North, Shengmen: Northeast, Wound Gate: East, Du Gate: Southeast, Jingmen: South, Death Gate: Southwest, Surprise Gate: West, Open Door: Northwest.

Later, it was modified by soldiers from all walks of life, and the name of the general in Cao Ren was Elephant Eye, which was created later.

This array is similar to the Bagua Array, but it is more cumbersome than the Bagua Array, the Bagua Array is composed of: Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, and gossip gives birth to all things! There are sixty-four variations of the Bagua Array.

And this array has the characteristics of the Bagua Array, and there is also Qimen Dunjia integrated into it. Qimen Dunjia: It is composed of three generals: "Qi", "Gate" and "Dunjia". "Qi" is B, C, and Ding; The "door" is to rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, open the eight doors; "遁" is the meaning of hidden, "Jia" refers to Liujia, that is, Jiazi, Jiashu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin, "Dunjia" is the most noble in the ten cadres, it is hidden but not visible, hidden under the Liuyi. "Liuyi" is Shu, Already, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. To put it simply, it is a formation of six instruments, three odds, eight gates, nine stars, plus a Bagua array to form an eight-door golden lock array!

Zhang Fei was stupid when he heard it.

Pang Tong looked at Zhang Fei's ignorant embarrassment, and finally said: Yide, you don't have to listen to this, although Cao Ren can put on this formation, but he only learns his deeds, not his essence. It's not hard to break him!

At this time, Zhang Feicai looked at Pang Tong with bright eyes.
