King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 934 Xu Shu's Golden Lock Formation
"Hey!" Seeing what Pang Tong said, Guo Tu laughed and said, "Mr. Pang's words are wrong. Our army has ten times as many troops as Fancheng, and we can besiege or attack it just by my lord's thought. How can there be any trouble? If you want to talk about trouble, Xiangyang, which is separated from Fancheng, has 20 soldiers, and the intention is unknown, that is trouble!"

"Xiangyang?" Pang Tong glanced at Guo Tu and said with a smile, "On the contrary, Xiangyang... hey!"

When Guo Tu frowned and thought about Pang Tong's words.Li Lin sighed slightly and said: "Shi Yuan means that Cai Mao has the heart to surrender, it has been confirmed!"

"Yes!" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said respectfully: "My lord, this is my subordinate's decision. It stands to reason that Cai Mao should send troops to take Jingzhou with 20 troops of our army. However, until today, our army has never met Any blocking soldiers, except for Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses, it is almost effortless for our soldiers to conquer several cities, which is unreasonable! If Cai Mao hadn't shown the enemy's weakness and lured our army into the hinterland of Jingzhou, then it would have been Cai Mao has a heart of surrender! Since the lord wants to take Fancheng, why not show the flag when taking the city, knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and watch Xiangyang quietly to see if Cai Mao has the heart to take refuge! What does the lord think?"

"Show the flag?" Li Lin frowned.After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay! Let's do it like this!"

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Cao Pi and you guys, if my guess is correct, Liu Bei should join forces with Jiangdong Sun Quan after he voted for Jiangling and Liu Qi. I hope Liu Bei will not vote for Yizhou in a daze. That is... the world will be settled as soon as possible, and I will be able to spend time with my wife and children sooner!The common people will live a good life, but this act against the sky?Oh shit!I am for the good of all people in the world, why does God still say my faults, why not say yours!Is everything in the way of heaven right?Then why am I here!
On May 20th of the sixth year of Chengye, [-] Liao soldiers came to Fancheng and camped [-] miles north of Fancheng.Afterwards, Li Lin ordered Zhang He to lead [-] troops to take Fancheng. Although it was to be taken, Li Lin's original intention was to test Jingzhou's intentions, as well as Liu Bei's and others' intentions. But no trace of Liu Bei and others has been found, but Li Lin is sure that Liu Bei must be in Fancheng at this moment.

Siege has always been disliked by Li Lin, and nothing else, but the casualties are too heavy, that's why.Li Lin wanted to force Liu Bei and others out of Fancheng.Compared with Fancheng with strong walls, isn't it easier to deal with Liu Bei in the wild?For example, Changbanpo!
Under the orders of General Li Lin, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Li Tong raised their troops to Fancheng with Xu Shu as their military adviser. Fifty thousand Liao troops lined up below the city, causing panic in the city.

In front of the Liao army, the black Liao flag fluttered in the wind, which made Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhong Yao, Cao Pi and others in the city look more sad.

Liu Bei was about to speak when he saw Zhang Yun shouting to the city: "Liu Bei, I know you are in the city, come out and answer!"

"My lord, don't do it!" Seeing that Liu Bei was about to come forward, Jian Yong hurriedly dissuaded him and said, "Zhang He came. The intention was to find out if the lord is in Fancheng. If the lord shows up at this moment, Li Lin will definitely lead the army there!"

"This..." Liu Bei was in a bit of trouble, hesitating, when Liu Pan strode forward beside him, holding the city wall with his hands and shouting loudly: "I am Liu Pan, the guard of Fancheng, who is coming, please report your name!"

"Could it be that Liu Bei never came to Fancheng?" A thought flashed in Zhang He's mind, he thought for a while, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhang He, Liu Pan, the general under the tent of the Liao King. The heavenly soldiers are here, why don't you come down sooner?"

"Absurd!" Liu Pan shouted loudly in the city: "Your lord Li Lin took advantage of my Jingzhou funeral to lead the army to invade. It is really inhumane. What is the heavenly army? The general was ordered to guard the city to prevent the night. Can you let you show off your power in the city?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang He laughed loudly when he heard the words, pointed at Liu Pan and said, "I am waiting here for you. If you have the courage, go out of the city and fight with me! If you don't, then hide in the city, but... ...I would like to advise you, surrender now. This general will keep you safe, if you are stubborn. When the city is broken in the future, hum!"

"Presumptuous!" Liu Pan in the city was furious, and was about to raise troops to fight, but was dissuaded by Cao Pi.

"General, the Liao army is powerful. I can't wait to fight. I can only stick to it and wait for the opportunity. I hope the general will think twice!" Cao Pi whispered.

After Liu Pan listened, he thought for a while, and was about to speak, but he heard Zhang Yun shouting from the city: "Liu Pan. This general has been stationed for a while. If you have the courage, go down to the city and raise troops. Now I have an army of 20. They are all like a tiger, how can they stop my [-] army, I advise you to surrender quickly, but you can save your life!"

"A mere [-] mobs don't care about it!" Liu Pan in the city was furious, and shouted angrily, "Wait for me to raise troops to fight you!" However, only Zhang He laughed loudly in response to Liu Pan.

"Damn it!" Cursing angrily, Liu Pan was about to go down to the city, but was dissuaded by Cao Pi, shaking his head and saying: "General, don't be impatient, let's see what Zhang Yun wants!"

"Oh?" Liu Pan nodded and said, "Okay!"

Cao Pi and the others took a few steps forward, quietly looking at the Liao army under the city, then Cao Pi was stunned, and said in surprise: "Zhang He! You... you actually..."

Hearing what Cao Pi said, everyone on the top of the city immediately looked at Cao Pi, while Zhong Yao, who was on the side, cursed and shouted: "Bold Zhang He, a thief, actually used our old master's eight-door golden lock array! "

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, Liu Bei murmured: "But Meng De's eight-door golden lock formation back then!"

Cao Pi nodded slowly, and Liu Bei immediately looked up, looked at it for a while, and said slowly: "It really is a good formation! It's a pity... eh..."

It’s true that Zhang He actually set up the eight-door Golden Lock Formation outside Fancheng. Of course, it wasn’t Zhang He who set it up, but Xu Shu, who kept sneering beside him, gave Cao Pi and Liu Bei the first big gift. Returning to the other body, Xu Shu used it for the last time.

Zhang Yun kept waving the command flag, and said to Xu Shu with a smile, "Military Master! Look at the faces of those people on the top of the wall, haha!"

Xu Shu's face was full of entanglement. He knew that Liu Bei must be in the city, but now he was Li Lin's military adviser, facing the old master, he had to do this, but... Xu Shu really didn't want to see Liu Bei die This is why Xu Shu didn't rush to Zhu Ling's side outside the city of Xinye, but stayed in the rear. Xu Shu didn't know what to do. Zhu Ling's defeat seemed to be Zhu Ling's mistake, but Why is it not his own dereliction of duty?So Xu Shu will always help Zhu Ling to defend, and Li Lin's eyes let Xu Shu understand that Li Lin knows Xu Shu's thoughts, but Li Lin does not blame Xu Shu, but Li Lin's doing so will make Xu Shu feel more guilty, so To break Fancheng, Xu Shu had to take out this book, but unfortunately, at this moment, Xu Shu still didn't want to read it anymore...

Xu Shu slowly said to Zhang Yun: "General! I'm a little tired, I'll rest at the camp!"

Zhang He immediately said: "Okay! The military commander is tired from traveling all the way, so let's take a rest!" Seeing that the formation was in full swing, Zhang He didn't care to listen to Xu Shu's words.

"No!" Xu Shu looked at the top of the city again, shook his head, and slowly retreated...

And just above the top of the city, Cao Pi began to explain to everyone the mystery of the Banmen Golden Lock Formation. Cao Ren and Cao Shuang would use his father's formation. Of course, Cao Pi is no exception, but Cao Pi is proficient in it. It's internal affairs and control. If you want to talk about the formation of troops, you are really not that good at it.

Cao Pi said sternly, "This is the Golden Lock Formation with eight gates. The eight gates are: Hugh, Sheng, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Surprise, and Open. If you enter from the Shengmen, Jingmen, and open the gate, it is auspicious; from the wounded If you enter through the door, startle the door, or close the door, you will be injured; from Dumen, if you die, people will die! This is the formation that my father uses best! I didn't expect... Hey... Uncle Liu Huang, General Liu Pan! To break this formation. It is necessary Send a general to attack people from the upper Shengmen Gate in the southeast corner, and go out to the Jingmen Gate in the west, and the formation will be chaotic."

"Okay!" Liu Pan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and went down to the city to raise troops to fight, while Zhang He, who was under the city, saw the gate of Fancheng slowly open.Liu Pan went to battle in armor and waved the command flag with a smile.

Gently stroking the wall, Cao Pi sighed slightly and said: "Li Lin led the army here, maybe it was because I and Uncle Liu Huang wanted to vote for Fancheng, so I came here in a hurry, and I couldn't wait to respond. I felt very uneasy. , Uncle Liu Huang! It’s a long night with many dreams, we’ll go back to Jiangling as soon as possible!”

"Ziheng's words are wrong!" Liu Bei shook his head and said seriously: "If you don't know that the Liao army is coming, then it's not too late. Since you know that the Liao army is coming, how can Bei leave the people who followed us all the way? ?”

"Uncle Liu Huang is worrying too much!" Cao Pi sighed slightly.Concentrated and said: "One, right now we are powerless to take care of others, and we are still unable to protect ourselves. How can my lord protect Fancheng? Moreover, although the Liao army is brave, Li Lin has always attached great importance to the people, and he will not treat the people of Fancheng harshly. In other words, if Li Lin captures Wenpin and others, I'm afraid he won't show mercy!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Indeed! Li Lin has always had to wait for me... Alas! If Cai Mao is willing to join forces with us, maybe he can stop Li Lin's army!" Liu Bei thought of himself at the beginning When fleeing, what Zhao Yun said to himself after chasing him...

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhuge Liang came up to the city, heard his master's words, and said calmly: "My lord, don't worry, Jiangling soldiers and horses are enough to stop Li Lin's soldiers and horses!"

"Huh?" Cao Pi turned around and saw someone coming.He smiled and said, "Kong Ming is here!"

Nodding his head, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and suddenly heard the commotion under the city. He turned his head to look, frowned and said, "The Liao army is powerful, and we can only hold on to it. Why are you going to fight?"

Cao Pi told Zhuge Liang about Zhang He's battle outside the city one by one, but saw that his face became more serious.Puzzled and asked, "Kong Ming, if you are afraid of not fighting, the Liao army will take advantage of the situation to take the city. It should be to frustrate the Liao army's spirit. I don't know what is wrong?"

"Although there is nothing wrong with what Ziheng said, but..." Looking deeply at the formation of the Liao army outside the city, Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Ziheng misunderstood, this formation is not an ordinary formation!"

"I know this, it's the eight-door golden lock array, it's my father..." Cao Pi was a little confused.

"No! Liang meant..." Zhuge Liang quickly interrupted Cao Pi, heaved a sigh of relief, and said worriedly, "It's not Prime Minister Cao's eight-door Golden Lock Formation!"

"What?" Cao Pi's complexion changed slightly when he heard that, and he turned his head and looked outside the city intently, seeing the changes in the formation of the Liao army.Surrounding Liu Pan tightly in the formation, he exclaimed, "I missed it! It turned out..." Just as he was speaking, Cao Pi's face changed drastically, because he finally saw the man standing beside Zhang Yun above the eyes of the formation. that person.

"Xu Shu! It's Xu Shu!" Cao Pi exclaimed.

Liu Bei was even more anxious when he heard about Xu Shu in Cao Pi's mouth. He didn't expect that his military adviser in the past would deal with him under the city, but he had already become a turtle in the urn. If Liu Pan, the defender of Fancheng, was killed, how could Fancheng be saved?Immediately, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang about his strategy, "What should I do now? A military advisor?"

Looking at Cao Pi, Zhuge Liang frowned at the formation of the Liao army, shook his head and said: "This formation is unpredictable, it must be improved by Yuan Zhi, and the changes are even more unpredictable. If Liang doesn't know what's going on, how can we talk about breaking the formation!" Who is Zhuge Liang? You can tell at a glance that this formation has been changed by Xu Shu, and even has some Pang Tong's style. It seems that the two of them have changed it reasonably. He is definitely not a rival in war. How can he break the formation?
"Brother!" Guan Yu, who realized that the situation is not good, stepped forward and said solemnly: "General Liu Pan must not be lost. Why don't you tell me to go out of the city to kill the Liao army for a while, and relieve General Liu Pan of the siege!"

Cao Pi sighed secretly, and said with self-blame, "It's all my fault that someone's eyes are dirty! If General Liu Pan dies, the Liao army will attack violently!"

"Ziheng is ready to understand!" Patting Cao Pi on the shoulder, Liu Bei said seriously: "However, in my opinion, how could Li Lin not know that I will vote for Fancheng? It's the same whether he comes forward or not. General Liu Pan is willing to take us in against General Cai Mao's order. How can we just sit back and watch General Liu Pan commit danger? Since the Yellow Turban, Liu Bei has gone through countless battles, big and small, and never feared war. He was like this in the past, and he is like this today!"

"My lord really wants to fight against the Liao army?" Zhuge Liang said hesitantly, "If my lord shows up on this matter, Li Lin will surely lead the army to come!"

"Heh!" Liu Bei slowly drew out the two swords around his waist.He laughed at himself and said, "In this case, I can only resign myself to fate, second brother!"

"Here!" Guan Yu glared and shouted.

"Wait a minute, my lord!" In Liu Bei's perplexity, Zhuge Liang made a secret calculation and said hesitantly, "Since my lord wants to break through this formation, Liang has no choice but to help. This formation may have been deleted and modified directly by Yuan, but it is roughly the same as Bamen Jin." The lock array is similar, today is May [-]th, the lord might as well go to Dumen with Generals Guan and Zhang, first destroy Zhang Xi's formation, and then the lord will fight out from Dumen, General Guan from Shengmen, and General Zhang from Jingmen kills "If Liang's calculations are not bad, maybe he can break through this formation! "

"En!" Liu Bei nodded, took a deep breath, turned around and shouted at Guan Yu: "Second Brother! Let's go!"

"Drink!" Guan Yu yelled loudly, picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, and followed Liu Bei down the wall, followed by Chen Dao.

"Yuanchang!" Cao Pi also yelled, now that he is alive or dead, he must do his best!
"No!" Zhong Yao clapped his hands in agreement, scaring the city too quickly.

At the same time, outside the city, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Li Tong lived in the eye of the formation, watching Liu Pan rushing left and right in the formation, but unable to escape, Zhang He shook his head and smiled: "It's ridiculous to be foolish and self-important." !"

"Junyi!" Zhang Yun's words fell, and Li Tong beside him said with a smile: "Although my lord sent me to test Jing Xiang's activities, and to find out whether Liu Bei is in Fancheng City, I have made plans in advance, but if this person He is really the defender of Fancheng. Maybe we can take down Fancheng today and save our lord the trouble, what do you two brothers think?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yun nodded, and said in agreement: "The intention of the 20 troops in Xiangyang is unknown, so I don't blame the lord for being so cautious, but... if you can win Fancheng and ask the lord for credit, it would be a good thing. Gao Lan, what do you think?"

"This..." Gao Lan hesitated, and said hesitantly, "It's good, but we still need to be cautious!"

"Hey!" Zhang He smiled, looked at Gao Lan and said, "When did Gao Lan become so timid? We have 20 troops waiting, let alone [-] soldiers in Fancheng District, even the [-] Jingzhou Army in Xiangyang. Don't be afraid! It's fine if Liu Bei isn't in front of me, if he dares to attack me. Heh heh!"

Just as he was talking, suddenly the gate of Fancheng slowly opened, and Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, and Li Tong turned their heads to look.I saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhong Yao leading thousands of Fancheng guards to kill them.

"Huh? Liu Bei?" Zhang Yun's eyes froze.Then he smiled and said, "Your lord, you're right, Liu Bei is indeed in Fancheng!"

"Hmph!" Li Tong said with a sneer, holding a long spear in his hand, "Thousands of people dare to go out of the city to fight and kill themselves, Junyi!"

"Don't worry!" Seemingly seeing through Li Tong's thoughts, Zhang He gestured towards Liu Pan's direction.He said calmly: "What Liu Bei did was nothing more than this man's ears! Wouldn't it be better to lure him into the formation, surround him and kill him?" As he spoke, Zhang Yun waved his flag.Command the soldiers under his command to put Liu Bei into the formation.

Compared with the peace and composure of the generals of the Liao army, the current situation of Liu Bei and others is indeed not good. After entering the battle from Shengmen, Liu Bei and others hardly encountered any resistance, but when Liu Bei and others joined Liu Pan, Just as he was about to break out of the formation, he saw a drastic change in the way of formation, and what caught his eye was the tide of Liao soldiers.

"Oops!" Zhuge Liang's complexion on Fancheng also changed drastically. He never expected that there are so many ways to change the formation. Zhuge Liang murmured: "Yuan Zhi! What a good formation!"

Cao Pi beside him also saw clearly, and asked eagerly: "Kong Ming, where is the gate of life now?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "If Liang Suan is not bad, I am afraid there is only Jingmen! But where is Jingmen, even if it is called Liang Suan, it will take some time, let alone my lord... ..."

"Then..." Cao Pi looked shocked, leaning over and looking outside the city.

Just as Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Yun deliberately put Liu Bei and others into the formation, and then changed the formation.Trapping Liu Bei and others in the battle, let alone Liu Bei and Liu Pan, even Guan Yu and Zhong Yao felt a headache.Don't talk about making moves, just dealing with the spears stabbed by the surrounding Liao soldiers is already a problem, so why talk about making moves?

"Damn it!" Enraged by the Liao soldiers, Zhong Yao swung his spear fiercely, knocking back the first few shield soldiers, and was about to move forward when he saw the Liao army shield soldiers rushing forward. Going up, entwining himself tightly, Zhong Yao turned his head to look.However, most of the soldiers behind him have been submerged by the surge of the Liao army.He gritted his teeth and cursed: "What a ghost formation, it's really difficult!"

"Huh!" It seemed that he heard Zhong Yao's angry shout.Guan Yu opened his tiger's eyes, Qinglong Yanyue knife swung up, and the knife fell with his hand, cutting several shield soldiers with their shields in half.However, the Liao army seemed to be inexhaustible.Seeing this, Guan Yu shouted anxiously: "Brother, this formation is very strange, don't bother to fight. I'll kill it!"

"Oh!" He had successfully killed Liu Pan, turned around Liu Bei for him, and shouted, "General, hurry up!"

"Okay!" Of course Liu Pan knew that he was being tricked now, seeing that Liu Bei was still showing loyalty to save himself, of course he ran away as soon as possible.

Guan Yu shouted loudly and turned his eyes.But his complexion changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously: "The formation...has the formation changed?"

"What?" Liu Bei looked around, startled, and saw that the eight gates had long since disappeared.The only thing that catches the eye is the Liao army that connects the sky and the earth.

"I can't care too much, let's just go to one door, General Liu Pan!" Liu Bei has no choice but to frantically wave the double-strand sword in his hand, and shouted.

"Drink!" Everyone agreed, and immediately rushed out with all their might.

In the middle of the formation, Zhang He watched Liu Bei and his party head towards the door with a sneer, but the facts were beyond Zhang He's expectation. The generals of the Liao army couldn't help squinting their eyes, the formation was in chaos, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bei deliberately rushed out of the formation...

"Tsk!" Zhang He glanced at Shicheng City with a complicated expression, frowned and said, "Witchcraft?" With the last heavy fog incident, Zhang He was not too surprised. Trust, one of the most important generals, Zhang Xi also has a little understanding of very reasonable things. Zhang Yun, who has fought against Zhang Baiqi, also more or less guessed that witchcraft... I am afraid it really exists!
"It's a pity, Junyi!" Seeing the remaining hundreds of Liu Bei and his party fled back to the city in embarrassment, Li Tong said with regret: "Liu Bei was almost captured and killed. This wind came at an inopportune time!"

"No!" Zhang He shook his head, and said mockingly, "The soldiers have only practiced this formation for two or three days, and I want to use it to defeat the enemy. I really underestimate the opponent!" After finishing speaking, he looked up at the city of Fancheng, He said lightly: "Although it's a pity, it proves that Liu Bei is in Fancheng, and he has finally fulfilled the lord's orders. Right now, it depends on whether Liu Bei wants to be put to death, trapped to death in Fancheng, or to put all his eggs in one basket and go south to Jiangling. No matter what, it's all right." Can't escape our army's grasp!
Immediately Gao Lan immediately sent people to Generals Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to tell the affairs of the city, and told them to act according to Li Lin's plan, and Zhang He also closely monitored every move of Fancheng!
Liu Bei, what do you want now?If you are trapped in Fancheng, there is only one way to die. If you escape from Fancheng, there may be a chance of survival. The premise is that you, Liu Bei, Cao Pi and others must escape the pursuit of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici's cavalry......
