Chapter 209
Lu Bu waited for Cao Ren to curse, and then he glared and cursed: "Bah! You are blind, you don't open your eyes wide. Who doesn't know how shameless you are? I have always been a person of all kinds of words in my work! When did you lose your trust? Are you so full of food? Didn't we agree that this general will bring people to your watcher in a while? Didn't you see that I am preparing? You have such eyes, will you really be like being trampled on by someone?" Cao Ren was scolded by Lu Bu with righteousness and was silly. Why are there such people in this world? It's not reasonable to say that he broke the promise. He scolded people with a serious and stern voice. Cao Ren laughed at the extreme anger. What's the real name for me and a reckless man?
Cao Ren sneered at Lu Bu and said, "You know that we have made an appointment to come and watch the formation later. But you have been here for a while. It seems that you have eaten and drunk enough and have a sleep with you. You are also called after a while? It seems that you are really a fool, you don't even know the time. It's just that I'm not lucky. You will actually wait for you like a fool who doesn't know the time."
"Bah! Which son doesn't know the time? What we agreed on is to come back a while. Will you understand after a while? That's all too much. Can I agree with you to go to watch the formation at noon or at noon? No. I agree with you to wait for a while, and that's when I watch the formation. The time for this preparation is not clear, so I agree with you to wait for a while. Of course, I will have to eat and drink enough and be full of energy during this period. Who knows that you are so stupid and stupid waiting. You shouldn't have to rest for a while, and you should have to eat and eat. Anyway, I will also notify you when I watch the formation. Now you are cursing indiscriminately, what is this?
What Lu Bu said was specifically reminded by Guo Jia in advance. Otherwise, he would not be able to say this truth in Lu Bu's eloquence! But Cao Ren heard it for a while. Don't say it, this really made Cao Ren say nothing. After a while, it was originally a vague concept of time. Now Lu Bu uses it to make a point of reasoning, and Cao Ren is not a verbal debater. Of course, Cao Ren has nothing to say. But Cao Ren has nothing to say, that doesn't mean that Cao Ren is not angry. The feeling of being scolded by a reckless man in his mind is absolutely and unpleasant.
Cao Ren had a sudden inspiration: Lu Bu always said that he was preparing for the observation of the formation. What preparations should he prepare for the observation of the formation? This is clearly his excuse. It is better to expose it to him or be ashamed of him.
Making up his mind, Cao Ren asked Zhang Fei and said, "You said you were preparing to observe the formation, but what are you preparing? Do you want a certain family to wait endlessly?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu pointed casually and said, "Boy, don't you watch it? Didn't you see the stands that are in the viewing stands? Without the viewing stands, how do we look at the formation that is as big as yours? In addition to watching the formation, we also have to watch it outside the formation. Do you understand the rules of observing the formation? Do you still ask such a simple thing? As for how long you wait, of course you won't let you wait endlessly. If you want to wait, we won't do it. After a while, wait for our viewing stands to be set up. This general will naturally lead people to your viewing formation."
Cao Ren looked in the direction of Lu Bu's finger and found that there was indeed a mountain of earth that had been piled up. It was also necessary to build a tower on the mountain of earth. Cao Ren was completely speechless this time. The viewing array was indeed in the form of viewing and outside the form. The condescending array could be seen more clearly, and this was also in the way. But what could you see from such a distance? Cao Ren had no temper at all.
"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Cao Ren said this with his back teeth and retreated into his formation.
"Let's go slowly. I won't send you off." A sentence from behind was heard. Haoxuan did not let Cao Ren, who was proficient in riding, fall off his horse. The angry Cao Ren returned to the formation. Cao Ren immediately ordered that all the soldiers be returned to their posts, eat, rest, and rest. Cao Ren himself took off his helmet and was ready to take a rest.
Cao Ren thought to himself: Wait for Lu Bu to come to watch the formation later? Could it be that he is really a fool? He doesn't know if the soil mountain has been piled up. After the soil mountain is piled up, how long will it take? It will be dark. It's dark, how can that guy watch the formation? It must meet tomorrow. If he and the soldiers under him are still stupid, wait for Lu Bu and his foolishly. When Lu Bu comes, let alone Lu Bu and others come to break the formation with full spirit. I'm afraid that they can't even stand by then. Besides, if they don't come to break the formation, it will be their loss. Anyway, the order given to him by the Prime Minister is to delay the journey of their army. If they delay them for one day, it will be their own credit. They are willing to delay it, that's better.
However, Cao Ren had just rested for a while, and the soldiers under Cao Ren had just finished their meal. Before he could eat, Lu Bu suddenly brought people to watch the formation. Cao Ren quickly sent an order to tell the soldiers under his command not to eat for the first time, and quickly deal with Lu Bu in their own positions, so as not to be suddenly attacked by Lu Bu before the formation was set up. Then he was unjustly killed. After the order was finished, Cao Ren himself quickly put on his helmet.
Jia, laces and tied his belt, and cleaned up tightly. After working for a while, Cao Ren rode out with a crooked armor and came out to greet Lu Bu. Cao Ren was scolding in his heart. Good Lu Bu, you are so famous and handsome, but I didn't expect you to be so hard-working. I was about to have a meal and take a break, and you guy came out. Why didn't this guy come early or late? It's just like that coincidental?
Cao Ren was puzzled, but what Cao Ren didn't know was that this was not a coincidence. The earthen mountain that Cao Ren saw was not completed, but was already high enough. There were sentries on it always watching Cao Ren's movements in the formation with their clairvoyance. Lu Bu said that it was not completed, it was just to numb Cao Ren. When Cao Ren looked from bottom to top, there were flags everywhere on the earthen mountain. Cao Ren was far away, of course he could not see anything. Guo Jia asked Lu Bu to pinch this point to observe the formation, and what he wanted was
This effect is known to know that although a person who has been tense, he can still persevere and still be able to exert his own strength. However, after relaxing, a person who has been tense is absolutely impossible to recover in a short time to exert his own maximum strength. Besides, who is Guo Jia? If he can't remember a little Cao Ren, then his name is a genius, it will be in vain! If you can't kill you Cao Ren, how can he be in trouble? How can he be Guo Jia in the future?
As soon as Cao Ren arrived at the camp gate, Lu Bu looked good and shouted to Cao Ren from a distance: "Boy. I am here. You went over to urge me. I am afraid that you would be anxious, so I taught those kids a lesson. I am just now. I am just right. I am just doing it without even building a tower. How about me? I am so good, right?" Cao Ren's nose was almost irritated. What had I done? Do I need you to be so active now? Cao Ren accompanied Lu Bu in the formation, and he answered and answered in his mouth to deal with Lu Bu's nonsense. Although Cao Ren was angry, Cao Ren still had to admire Lu Bu's boldness and courage in his heart. He was worthy of being the Marquis of Lu Wen, who despised all the heroes of Hulao Pass! Moreover, although Cao Ren did not respect Lu Bu's previous behavior, he also had a kind of confidant relationship with Lu Bu's trust in himself.
Cao Ren had these feelings, and it was definitely not that Cao Ren was so angry that he was stunned. This led to a tendency to abuse himself. However, although Lu Bu brought some soldiers to watch the formation, Lu Bu actually left all these soldiers outside Cao Ren's formation. In the end, Lu Bu was alone in Cao Ren's formation. Moreover, Lu Bu's expression was still so leisurely, without any intention of being nervous and afraid. In addition to being skilled and brave, Lu Bu could only say that Lu Bu was full of confidence in Cao Ren's character. Lu Bu rode into the formation alone, which was full of curiosity and courage, and he was truly second only to Liu Bin.
The powerful general! The soldiers all admire the strong, and now Lu Bu's performance proves that he is a strong man! As the saying goes, "Soldiers die for their confidants. How could Cao Ren not be moved by this? Moreover, Cao Ren had never planned to plot against Zhang Fei when Lu Bu was watching the formation. After all, Cao Ren received the death order to stop the Youzhou army from advancing. If he could completely break up with Liu Bin, he would not break up with Liu Bin. Even if he started fighting with the Youzhou army, he would leave room for a turnaround with Liu Bin. He would never completely anger Liu Bin, so that Liu Bin would fight Cao Cao desperately.
Therefore, if Cao Ren plotted against Liu Bin's confidant Lu Bu, when Lu Bu was watching the formation, wouldn't he have a grudge with Liu Bin? Then there would be no room for revolving around with Liu Bin. Therefore, not only would Cao Ren not be able to assassinate Lu Bu when Lu Bu was watching the formation, but even when Lu Bu broke the formation in a while, Cao Ren also had to pay attention to protecting Lu Bu's life and safety. Uh! Although with Lu Bu's ability, even if he really plotted against it, it might not be effective, and Lu Bu's ability would not need Cao Ren's secret care, but this is Cao Ren's intention.
Oh! However, Cao Ren, who is now accompanying Lu Bu, not only does not have any nervousness, but Cao Ren is also quite happy. Because when Cao Ren was wandering and talking with Lu Bu, Cao Ren had long discovered that Lu Bu did not understand the formation at all. Even if Lu Bu asked him to accompany him for three days, as long as he launched the formation, Lu Bu could not find a way out. In this way, Cao Ren did not have to worry that Lu Bu would break the formation he had carefully arranged, nor did he have to worry that his formation was too powerful, which would hurt Lu Bu.
Cao Ren was proud, but Lu Bu's leisure was definitely not a fake. Lu Bu would keep his soldiers outside the formation. In addition to Lu Bu's natural courage and generous, it was also Lu Bu's fear of burdens. In Lu Bu's mind, if Cao Ren dared to have any bad intentions and rushed out by himself, it would definitely be much simpler than taking his subordinates out. Moreover, Lu Bu was confident that when Cao Ren made any unfriendly actions, he could capture Cao Ren as a hostage and take him out of the formation at any time. Therefore, Lu Bu kept his distance from Cao Ren so close.
As for Lu Bu's observation array, it was just Lu Bu pretending. Lu Bu didn't know any formation. Now that Lu Bu has been in the formation for a long time, Lu Bu has been dizzy. He can't tell the difference between the south, south, west and north. So what else can I mention when I watch the formation? Lu Bu now sees everything in the formation. However, the order that Lu Bu received was to let Cao Ren take him to turn the formation all over. He couldn't pull any place at any time. Therefore, Lu Bu was still wandering leisurely, just as he was watching the scenery. Anyway, Guo Jia from outside was responsible for watching the formation.
Indeed, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun were indeed watching Cao Ren reach the formation from above the Tushan Mountain. Watching Cao Ren lead Lu Bu to wander around. While watching, Guo Jia also explained to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, the way of this formation is nothing more than Tai Chi Yin and Yang, Nine Palaces and Bagua. Take the formation arranged by Cao Ren as an example. The formation is divided into eight gates, which is obviously the pattern of the Bagua Formation. However, Cao Ren's camp layout in the formation is divided into nine parts, that is, Cao Ren nests the pattern of the Jiugua Formation on the pattern of the Bagua Formation. This is a combination of
It's a simple Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation. However, the pattern of the inner Nine Palace Formation in Cao Ren's formation is not in line with the pattern of the outer Eight Trigrams Formation outside. It's a bit unreasonable to get this dead gate in the life gate. No matter how the person who set up the formation changes the mystery of the formation, it will never be able to completely block the life path of the formation. In that case, it will become a paradise. After the formation is launched, even the formation cannot even come out and cannot move, what's the use of the formation? Strange. It's really strange."
Zhao Yun really didn't understand this explanation of Guo Jia. Zhao Yun held the telescope and watched Cao Ren lead Lu Bu to wander around, and felt that Lu Bu seemed to be walking in a maze in the formation. Those who went forward five steps and retreated three steps would always be winding. Apart from that, Zhao Yun did not find any of the power of Cao Ren's formation.
Isn’t this what my senior brother said about walking the maze? Now I can watch it carefully from a high point. When my scouts make the sand table of Cao Ren’s maze, they can easily find the correct channel. At that time, wouldn’t it be extremely simple to break this bad formation?
Just when Zhao Yun was a little tired of this meaningless viewing, suddenly, under Zhao Yun's observation, Cao Ren should have led Lu Bu to a dead end. According to Zhao Yun's calculations, Cao Ren should have led Lu Bu back and walked again. However, with Cao Ren's arrival, the flag gate of that place suddenly flashed out a new road. It was very interesting to see the willows and flowers. Zhao Yun looked at it interestingly and pointed to Guo Jia with his finger: "Military advisor, look, the road that General Lu is walking now is interesting. A road suddenly popped up. The partition in the middle was actually fake, blocked by a flag."
Guo Jia was originally thinking about the irrationality of Cao Ren's formation. When he heard Zhao Yun's words, he just unconsciously followed the direction guided by Zhao Yun. Even after seeing it, Guo Jia was still thinking about the direction changes between the formations. And while Guo Jia was looking for Lu Bu, he said casually: "Hey? Why did Cao Ren lead General Lu to come here? Isn't this the Death Gate?" Death Gate? As Guo Jia realized that Lu Bu was walking inside the Death Gate, Guo Jia's doubts suddenly became clear. Guo Jia looked up to the sky and laughed.
Zhao Yun looked at Guo Jia strangely and asked, "Military advisor, what's so funny?" Guo Jia said to Zhao Yun: "General, I understand Cao Ren's formation. Cao Ren really has some skills. The formation he set up is actually a reverse Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation. He used the flag gates representing life, death, shock, Xiu, etc. upside down. In this way, the life gate is the death gate, and the death gate is the life gate. Only those who know the formation pattern, regardless of whether the true or false of the flag gate enter the formation will definitely come back. Now the reality of his formation has been seen through by me. His formation is not scary."
Zhao Yun still asked Guo Jia strangely: "Military advisor, isn't Cao Ren's formation the maze that his senior brother said before? What's so powerful about this? As for making you so happy?"
Guo Jia smiled and explained: "General. This formation is definitely not something that can be described by a maze. The maze-like terrain is only one aspect of the formation. It is just to make the troops trapped in the formation unable to distinguish the road. In addition, the formation also has to insert flags everywhere to confuse people's eyes and make the people entering the formation unable to distinguish the direction. But these are only auxiliary, not the interests of the formation. The interests of the formation lie in the formation when the formation is deployed, the person who sets the formation presses the direction in the formation.
Various traps hidden under the ambush according to the formation map, such as dirty pits, clean pits, plum blossom pits, trapped horse pits, tripping ropes, chain pits, etc. Apart from these, the crossbows and trolleys arranged on the main road of the throat are all things that make people come and go. In addition, setting up fences, tall buildings and archers in the formation to ambush can also cause large numbers of casualties to the troops trapped in the formation. Moreover, even without these things, the formation can still take advantage of the familiarity of the terrain in the formation and follow the
When you go east, he attacks your rear route from the west, you go south, he attacks your rear route from the north. When you go back and forth, he constantly teases the troops trapped in the formation, causing them to run away and eventually dies in the formation. Even if the troops in the formation want to catch a soldier and chase, the movement of his formation will naturally lead to other troops stopping the people entering the formation and leading them away. Let the previous unit rest. The movement of his formation is like a millstone
In this way, the troops trapped in the formation can be gradually wiped out. Thinking back to the beginning, even if Xiang Yu, the unrivaled Western Chu king, was caught in Han Xin's ten-sided ambush formation, he would have been defeated in the end. If Fan Kuai had not obeyed the general's order, he would have to see Xiang Yu when Xiang Yu was most tired and seized the title of the world's number one military general, thus blocking the movement of the formation, Xiang Yu would never have escaped from the ten-sided ambush formation."
