"Captain, can it be done this time?" Jiang Qin has been feeling a little depressed these days. He and Zhou Tai were both water thieves, and they came to join Sun Ce at the same time. After just one battle, Zhou Tai died in Tangyi. Jiang Qin hated Lu Buzhi.
I couldn't help but feel a bit of despair in my heart.
Jiangdong generals all came out, but they were all destroyed by Lu Bu alone. Can the eight-door city of Lao Shizi built temporarily by the Chen family really trap Lu Bu? Not to mention that Lu Bu had the powerful soldiers behind him. Is it worth it for Guangling?
?
Thinking that they might eventually be driven back, they could have left but stubbornly stayed here. Jiang Qin couldn't understand.
After reporting on his work, Jiang Qin finally asked the doubts in his heart.
"The Eight Gate City is not just a simple fortified city. If it were just a city, it would be difficult to trap Lu Bu. This is the map of the Eight Gate City. Please take a look at it. Can you recognize it?" Zhou Yu heard this and handed Chen Deng to him.
He spread out the map of Eight Gate City and asked with a smile.
It would be difficult to trap Lu Bu with just one city, but since we have this confidence, it makes sense.
Jiang Qin looked at the map of Eight Gate City and felt something familiar: "It seems to be a spell."
There are also formations derived from the Bagua among the military formations. This formation is not a battle formation, but it is extremely powerful and contains hidden murderous intent. However, it is extremely difficult to set up the formation.
"This is based on the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation!" Zhou Yu knocked on the drawing on the table and said with a smile.
"Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation?" Jiang Qin shook his head in confusion. He had heard of the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation, but he had never heard of the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation. It seemed to have shadows of the Bagua Formation, but after careful comparison, it didn't match up at all.
"Captain, since it is a formation, how can it be built as a city?" Zhou Tai asked his doubts. Whether it is a battle formation or a Qimen formation, it is all arranged with the army. Only in this way can a military formation be formed.
The heavenly secrets correspond to the earth's veins and use the power of the three armies to gather infinite power.
In addition, we also need to change the formation. If you use the city to change the formation, how do you change it?
"If it weren't for the Chen family and his son, this formation would really be best built by people. But with his father and son, plus the many Confucian scholars here, we can build a city to display this eight-door golden lock formation!" Zhou Yu knew
Everyone's morale has been dampened, so now is the time to explain the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation so that everyone can gain a general understanding of its power and regain confidence.
"Yutu?" Jiang Qin said in panic.
"It's not just earth-bending. The Eight Gate City really relied on the earth-bending abilities of the Chen family and his sons to be built so quickly. However, this city is made of bricks and stones. It is stronger than ordinary cities, but there is nothing in the city.
The people cannot rely on their wishes, so this city needs someone to guard the eight gates, and at the same time, soldiers and horses are stationed in the city. Cooperating with Confucianism, once the city is out, it will be indestructible. Even though Lu Bu is brave, it is difficult to break this city!"
"And many joints in the city are alive and can be mobilized at any time. With the Chen family and his son here, they can lead the opponent into the door of death based on his every move."
"Can this Death Gate kill Lu Bu?" Jiang Qin still didn't believe it when he heard this. After all, Lu Bu's strength left a deep impression on everyone. How could a mere Death Gate kill Lu Bu?
"The eight-door golden lock array corresponds to the stars above and connects to the earth below. Once it is in operation, it can isolate the heaven and the earth, and at the same time, it can turn the power of the army into infinite murderous intent!" Zhou Yu pointed at the eight doors and said: "Those with eight doors will not be injured.
Du Jing died and opened in surprise. If you open the door from Shengmen or Jingmen, you will be lucky. If you open the door, you will be lucky. If you open the door, you will be injured.
"Du, the two gates of death can turn the power of the general formation into killing energy. Almost all of the eight thousand generals' morale and energy are in these two gates. They are guarded by eight strong men, and their power is even greater. Lu Bu
He has the power to reach the heavens, and if he enters these two gates, he will definitely die!"
"Then does Chen Gong know this formation? How to let Lu Bu enter these two gates?" Jiang Qin asked puzzled.
He didn't recognize the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, but Chen Gong, a great scholar, wouldn't know it either? How could Lu Bu be allowed to enter these two gates?
"So this city is underground now. When Lu Bu comes in, Chen Deng will adjust his position, and Lu Bu will appear directly in the gate of death!" Zhou Yu said with a smile. This is why they insisted on staying after losing their troops and morale.
The reason is that as long as Lu Bu can be trapped and killed, Guangling can be captured, and Xuzhou can be occupied first while Cao Cao has no time to take care of Xuzhou, the situation in Jiangdong will open up!
Just like Chu Nan and Chen Gong want Jiangdong as their rear, if Sun Ce can capture Xuzhou, the situation will be the same. With Jiangdong as his rear and Xuzhou as the springboard to attack the Central Plains, he will be able to compete with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao for supremacy.
This is also the strategic direction that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have discussed. The Central Plains has not yet been decided. As long as Xuzhou gets it, they will have a chance to compete with Cao Cao for the Central Plains.
"That's it!" Jiang Qin's brows relaxed slightly and he said to Zhou Yu: "Commander, I am willing to guard the door to death!"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "The Gate of Death is of great importance, I will guard this gate! Duke Yu of Han will guard Du Gate."
The Eight Gate Guards are naturally stronger, but the other gates are better off. The Death Gate responsible for killing Lu Bu must be proficient in the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation and be able to echo each other with the main formation leader Chen Deng. At the same time, he can also use the entire Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation.
With the power of the formation, besides Zhou Yu, Chen Gui is the suitable person to guard the death gate.
But Chen Gui, the master of Dumen, has these two gates in his hands. As long as Lu Bu enters any of these two gates, he will definitely die!
Jiang Qin was a little disappointed. If there was a chance, he would naturally want to kill Lu Bu personally to avenge his brother. If there were others, he could still compete, but Zhou Yu personally guarded the death gate, so Jiang Qin naturally couldn't compete.
"Let's get ready. The biggest advantage of this Eight Gate City is that the soldiers don't need to practice formations. They only need to stand on the city wall to form formations naturally." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
The Chen family's father and son can mobilize the movable wall and avoid mistakes when changing formations, allowing the opponent to take advantage of them.
"General, please retire!" Jiang Qin saluted Zhou Yu, bowed and retreated, going to prepare for a decisive battle with the Xuzhou Army.
On the other side, Lu Bu's army did not stop after occupying Tangyi. The occupation of Tangyi had no practical significance for Lu Bu. It just gained an empty city. The Chen family and Jiangdong troops were not lost. If Lu Bu lost this battle,
Jiangdong can easily recapture the city they currently occupy, which is why Chu Nan suggested taking steps step by step.
If he uses his method to lay a solid foundation first and then gradually advance without attacking, Jiangdong and the Chen family can be completely trapped!
Even if they were defeated in Dongyang and retreated to Tangyi, it would be difficult for Sun Ce and others to recapture the city they captured in one go. They would still have a chance to regroup.
Now, if you attack directly like this, it will be easier to win. If you slowly win over people's hearts, the framework of Xuzhou has been established, and it will be easy for the people to return. As for the nobles... you will love them or not, but if you lose, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Already.
So when Lu Bu was full of confidence, Chu Nan was trying his best to prevent everything that might affect the outcome of the battle. Before leaving the palace, the injured pigeon demon had already been forced by Chu Nan with its army of pigeons.
It's open for business.
Not only it, but also demon ants and demon mantises were driven out by Chu Nan to serve as aerial scouts.
But what surprised Chu Nan was that there were no ambushes or obstacles along the way. The other party seemed determined to defend Dongyang, which puzzled Chu Nan.
"Why is Ziyan frowning all the time?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and asked.
"My disciple can't explain clearly, but after Jiangdong's defeat, even if he didn't retreat, he should have left a way out for himself. However, the current posture is like a decisive battle with our army!" Chu Nan said very puzzled.
Of course, what really made him feel irritable was that as the army advanced, the clouds above Lu Bu's head began to turn black.
But the strange thing is that the clouds above the heads of others are as usual. In other words, there is danger ahead, but it is only for Lu Bu!?
Jiang Dong indeed has a back-up plan, but what is this back-up plan?
In other words, what ability can Jiangdong's group, plus Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son, have to threaten Lu Bu?
Before, Jiangdong's fierce generals came out and were almost destroyed by his father-in-law's group, but now they have the ability to threaten Lu Bu?
Chu Nan felt a little unbelievable. If he really had this ability, why would he have gone there so early?
Thinking of it, except for Chen Gui who started to show up, the Chen family and his son have never been seen again, especially Chen Deng, who seems to have completely handed over Guangling to Jiangdong.
"This matter is also something I am puzzled by." Chen Gong nodded, frowning and thinking.
Chu Nan sat on the horse and thought: "Teacher, let's change directions. If the teacher is Zhou Yu or Chen Deng, what method should be used to harm his father-in-law?"
It's definitely not possible to confront them head-on. All the generals in Jiangdong were beaten to death by Lu Bu before. If they try again, they will just repeat the same mistakes.
"Marquis Wen is so brave that there are few opponents in the world. If Zhang Zhiyong is involved, even if a few more people come, Marquis Wen will not be able to resist him." Chen Gong thought.
This is basically impossible. It is equivalent to recruiting all the top ten powerful generals in the world under Lu Bu. Is this possible? At least Jiangdong does not have this ability.
"If we cooperate with the great scholars, one of the two great scholars can restrict Marquis Wen's actions, and the other can help the general to improve his strength."
When Lu Bu is involuntary or unconscious, the Confucian scholar's words and deeds are difficult to cause harm to Lu Bu. Even if you want to move Lu Bu, it will not work. As long as Lu Bu is unwilling, even the confucian's deeds can only harass him.
, but it is difficult to threaten him.
Two great scholars join forces, one harasses and the other strengthens their own generals. The trade-off between the two can also threaten Lu Bu. However, in addition to the great scholars, those who are against Lu Bu must also have the ability to fight against Lu Bu, otherwise they will be seeking death.
.
Chu Nan nodded. If Chen Gui, Chen Deng, and Zhou Yu join forces and cooperate with the previous lineup, they may still threaten Lu Bu, but it is only a threat.
"Furthermore, if you know the art of Qimen and use it in a military formation, if you can include Marquis Wen in the formation, the threat will be great, and you may even threaten Marquis Wen's life!" At the end of the sentence, Chen Gong also became serious.
"A strange skill?" Chu Nan was surprised: "Whose skill is this?"
"It doesn't matter which one, no one counts." Chen Gong stroked his beard and said: "Qimen Dunjia, if you can learn it, is extremely powerful. Looking at the world, there are not many people with this ability. Zhang Jiao was one of them."
"Does the teacher know how to do it?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong, this was... he wanted to learn.
Chen Gong shook his head: "I have heard some and know some formations, but I have never been lucky enough to learn them."
At the end, Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh. This kind of thing is not something you can learn if you want. Even if you are a great scholar, you may never see the real Book of Qimen in your lifetime.
Qi Men Dun Jia?
Chu Nan nodded. Seeing that Chen Gong didn't speak anymore, he didn't ask any more questions. It seemed that there weren't many things that could threaten his father-in-law. But looking at the clouds above Lu Bu's head, Chu Nan fell into deep thought. What would the other party use?
