Obviously, after the arrival of the millions of troops of the Qi State, it is impossible to defend a city with two or three thousand people, so Chu Chen can only think of his own way, and now the only thing that can resist the millions of troops of the Qi State is the formation.

Chu Chen led a team to the outside of the city, walking on the spacious flat ground, and every time he walked a distance, Chu Chen would ask the soldiers to make a mark and dig a pit three feet three inches deep.

From day to night, Chu Chen finished walking several miles of flat land outside the city, digging a total of three hundred and sixteen big pits.

Back in the city, Chu Chen made a list and asked the soldiers to look for jade, jade and other materials for arranging the formation according to what was written on the list, Shuiyun County is a relatively rich county town, so all kinds of jade, jade and other materials are not difficult to find, and the materials that Chu Chen needs are not very precious, so on the second day, the soldiers carried more than a dozen boxes of jade, jade and other materials to Chu Chen.

"Heavenly Emperor, in order to buy these materials, almost all the gold and silver we scavenged from the county guard mansion have been spent. The commander who was in charge of sending the materials over reported to Chu Chen.

"There should be rich men in the city who are not merciful, so go to the houses of these rich men and get some money according to the will of the people." Chu Chen said, from entering the city to the present, Chu Chen only let the soldiers go to ransack the official mansion, and he has not touched any of the rich people who are usually powerful, and originally thought of waiting for Lu Youzhi to arrange people to come over and then do something to these people, but now I am afraid that it will not work, without money, many things will not be easy to do, so I can only take these rich people to the knife. "I'm going to be in retreat for a few days, and I'll leave the city to you. ”

In the next five or six days, Chu Chen was refining the formation base in the room, so tired that he was about to vomit out his blood, but the hard work paid off, after six days of refining, he finally succeeded in refining three hundred and sixty array bases of various appearances and functions.

"With these formations, at least more than 200,000 troops of the Qi State can be wiped out. Looking at the formation base in front of him, the corners of Chu Chen's mouth curled slightly. "It's just a pity that I can't find better materials, otherwise even if the Qi State sends tens of millions of troops, what can I do. ”

Chu Chen slept well for a day, and only after recovering his spirit did he go out of the room and order the soldiers to move the refining formation base to the pit dug outside the city and bury it.

"Heavenly Emperor, the Prime Minister has arrived here yesterday and is now waiting in the hall to be summoned. As soon as Chu Chen finished explaining the matter, a centurion came to tell him.

"Old Lu is here?" Chu Chen smiled and walked straight to the living room.

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven!" When Lu You saw Chu Chen coming in from outside, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Chu Chen.

"Lu Lao is exempt from courtesy, and there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite. Chu Chen stepped forward, supported Lu Youzhi, and said, "Old Lu is here, and he won't let anyone tell the emperor, let you wait for a long time, sit down." ”

"The Emperor of Heaven is in retreat, and he has ordered no one to disturb him, and the old man does not dare to disturb the Emperor of Heaven without permission. Lu Youzhi smiled, sat down, suddenly looked at Chu Chen and said: "Emperor of Heaven, there is bad news, according to the report of the spies, the Qi State has gathered two million troops and is coming to us, and it will be more than half a month later to be able to come to the city." ”

"It's coming pretty fast. Chu Chen smiled, with a relaxed expression.

"Isn't the Heavenly Emperor worried at all? We are now understaffed, even with the newly recruited soldiers, the number is only 200,000, and it is obvious that there is not much chance of winning with a tenfold gap with Qi soldiers. Lu Youzhi frowned, with a worried look on his face.

"The soldiers are coming to the enemy's water and earthweir, and the Qi State can gather two million troops to destroy us, why can't we destroy his two million troops? I think, these two million troops should be the most elite army of the Qi State, right?" Chu Chen smiled and said with a relaxed look, although the two million army was ten times more than them, but he had a way to eliminate these two million people.

"Yes, I think the Qi army wants to completely wipe out our heavenly kingdom in a war. Lu Youzhi nodded.

"In addition, some people in the counties under our control are panicking, and I am afraid that when the time comes, we will have internal and external troubles. Lu Youzhi also said, the news that the Qi State had gathered two million troops to attack the Heavenly Kingdom did not know what the reason was, but it spread throughout all the occupied counties within a few days, making the people in the county very uneasy, afraid that there would be an explosion at any time, in case of this, their uprising would really fail, and they could only flee back to Qingfeng Valley at that time.

"Send an order down and tell the people of the counties that the war has nothing to do with them, and let them stay in the house during the war, and if I am defeated in the kingdom of heaven, they will naturally withdraw, and if they dare to go around during the war, they will be killed. Chu Chen said lightly: "In addition, the news of our victory in each battle must also be spread throughout the counties as soon as possible, so that the people can know and stabilize people's hearts." ”

"By the way, since the Qi State has already killed our side, then we will take a few more cities during this time, and when the time comes, when the Qi army arrives, we will feign defeat and retreat, slowly consume them along the way, and wait until we reach the three counties of Shui, Qing, and Wanshi, and then fight to the death with them. Chu Chen said again.

"The Emperor of Heaven is not chaotic, and he can come up with such a method in such a short time, the old man is really admired. After listening to Chu Chen's words, Lu Youzhi got up and bowed solemnly to Chu Chen.

"Lu Lao just took the Qi army too seriously, so he only thought about how to get out of trouble, not how to eliminate, so he didn't think about this for a while, and ordered the three armies to attack immediately, and within half a month, give the emperor at least ten cities, and after taking ten cities, if the Qi troops attack on a large scale, they will immediately retreat, and choose a dangerous place along the road that can be ambushed and slowly consume the Qi army. Chu Chen said.

The order was quickly conveyed, and after discussing with Lu Youzhi for a while, Chu Chen went out of the city, checked the burial of the formation base, and after confirming that there was no problem, he left a thousand soldiers to stay in Shuiyun County and take good care of the formation base, so he left Shuiyun County with Lu Youzhi and two thousand soldiers and went to Qingjun City.

When he came to Qingjun City, Chu Chen saw that there were not many soldiers left in the city, and the army had already started to seize the city.

When he came to the county guard's mansion, Chu Chen's residence had already placed a few boxes of jade, jade and other materials, which were prepared by people returning to Qingjun City in advance when he left Shuiyun County, and now, Wanshicheng also prepared the materials for him.

It took six days for Chu Chen to refine a batch of formation bases again, and outside Qingjun City, he laid out a formation that was exactly the same as outside Shuiyun County. After resting for a night, Chu Chen went to Wanshi City, and it also took six days to refine a batch of formation foundations, and outside the city, arrange the formations.
