In the wilderness, Lu Bu, who was chasing Liu Bei's three brothers, suddenly felt something strange. He looked up at the sky and saw a giant pigeon flying precariously in the sky with bandaged wings.
The posture gives me the impression of a pig flying in the sky.
【Will it fall off?】
The moment this thought flashed through Lu Bu's mind, the pigeon demon suddenly seemed to have lost its strength, and it stumbled down as if its injured wings were unable to support its fat body.
Lu Bu: "..."
My son-in-law's several demon pets are all good, but this bird is a bit... not very serious.
Song Xian also recognized that this was Chu Nan's bird, and quickly asked someone to help it up.
"Gugu~"
The pigeon demon stood up and flapped its wings to let the soldiers get away. Then he saw Lu Bu and shook his head and called out to Lu Bu several times. His wings made various semaphore-like movements. It seemed that he wanted to express something, but everyone did not
Without Wei Yue's psychic ability, I can't understand what it expresses.
After a while, the pigeon demon seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head and buried it under his wings, took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Lu Bu.
"Wouldn't it be better to bring it earlier?" Lu Bu reached out and took the bamboo slip, and looked at the pigeon demon speechlessly. If possible, the pigeon should be stewed. Lu Bu thought that his son-in-law should tame an eagle, which would be more pleasing to the eye than this pigeon.
"My lord, what did Zi Yan say?" Song Xian came to Lu Bu and asked with a smile. His lord was very kind to his son-in-law. Therefore, Song Xian and others naturally got close to Chu Nan. In addition, Chu Nan was a good man.
He speaks well and has skills, so he gets along well with the generals.
"Zi Yan said that he is nearby. He asked me to wait for him slowly. I want to go together to attack Liu Bei." Lu Bu put away the bamboo slips and said with a smile.
"Does Liu Bei still want to pursue?" Song Xian asked. The three Liu Bei brothers took advantage of the small number of people and entered the forest wherever they could. They were unable to catch up all morning, and they were already a little annoyed by now.
"No, it's not easy to chase. After Zi Yan comes over, we will set out again and ask the soldiers to rest for a while. Zi Yan should be catching up soon!" Lu Bu shook his head. There is no rush to chase Liu Bei and others.
Now everyone stopped to rest. Lu Bu arranged for people to eat in batches and go to the toilet. Needless to say, eating, but few people paid attention to the importance of pulling. But in fact, anyone who knows the art of war knows that pulling may be more important than eating.
.
As for the reason, if one of them is randomly pulled, it is easy to fall behind and desert, and the formation cannot be kept intact.
It is easy for the enemy to identify a lot of information through the feces you pull out, such as whether the food is enough and the quality. This is actually similar to the animal world. Beasts that are good at hunting often identify their opponents through animal feces;
If these three things are not dealt with, it is easy to cause a plague. Therefore, as a general, you have to consider the food, drink and diarrhea of your soldiers. Among the armies in Xuzhou, Gao Shun is the best in this regard, followed by Chu Nan.
Well, in this regard, Lu Bu can't even compare to his son-in-law.
Chu Nan did not let Lu Bu wait for too long. His location was indeed not far from here, near Ruyang. When he realized that Lu Bu was nearby, he immediately sent the pigeon demon to call Lu Bu to stop, while he led his team in pursuit.
When they met Lu Bu, Lu Bu had just finished eating.
"Father-in-law!" When Chu Nan saw Lu Bu, he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Father-in-law has been waiting for so long. It's Nan's fault."
"It doesn't matter!" Lu Bu got on his horse and said, "I can't kill the three brothers alone. Zi Yan and Han Sheng will come over and help me get rid of these three thieves! But..."
When Chu Nan heard this, he looked at Lu Bu. Lu Bu thought for a moment and said, "Besides these three people, there is another person named Ziyan who we need to be careful about."
"Oh?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu in surprise and said, "Who is the person my father-in-law is talking about?"
"Zhong Yao, this person also came to Runan with Liu Bei this time. This person is good at strange arts and has the ability to draw thunder!" Lu Bu said as he walked.
"Zhong Yao?" Chu Nan nodded. This is a character, not only because of Zhong Yao himself, but also because of the Zhong family. He can be regarded as a being on the same level as the Xun family, but his father-in-law asked him to deal with it...
...is that what you think?
Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu and Zhong Yao uncertainly... Judging from the information received at this stage, it is estimated that they are on the verge of entering the realm of Confucianism. There is only one opportunity left to enter the realm of Confucianism. However, the most important thing is
, this guy is still a warlock who is proficient in the art of war!
Chu Nan had a detailed understanding of some well-known figures under Cao Cao. Zhong Yao became famous very early. He is now in his forties and a fellow practitioner of Confucianism and military arts.
The so-called skills are actually found in every family. For example, Confucianism also uses the method of casting spells with the aura of awe-inspiring, or the skills developed by relying on one's own abilities like the Chen family and his son are also called skills. Most of them practice it concurrently, but there is also a type of people who specialize in it.
Researching art is somewhat similar to that of warriors. It doesn’t belong to each family, but each family has corresponding methods. It’s just that art requires more talent and brains, while warriors require more of the body.
Zhong Yao's technique is not like ordinary Confucian scholars who borrow words to explain the law. His technique is learned from the Book of Changes. This is more awesome. Chen Gong has not done it. In short, it is a kind of magic.
He was not sure about the big shot who was no less important than Cao Cao's four great counselors before, but now, Chu Nan was sure that Zhong Yao was the culprit behind the omen he saw.
"Since this person is here, I think it was Cao Cao who ordered Liu Bei to come to Runan. He would rather give Runan to Liu Bei than let his father-in-law get it." Chu Nan followed Lu Bu and said thoughtfully.
"Oh? What do you mean by Zi Yan?" Lu Bu looked at his son-in-law curiously.
"Liu Bei is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. Cao Cao kept him without using him before because he knew that if he was allowed to leave, it would be difficult to come back!" Chu Nan explained with a smile: "It seems that there is really no one available in Xuchang.
Already."
"Zi Yan, something suddenly occurred to me!" Song Xian looked at Chu Nan and said.
"Oh?" Chu Nan looked at Song Xian and said with a smile, "May I ask what the general is talking about?"
"My lord is here to chase Liu Bei. Doesn't it mean that Xuchang has been relaxed? If Cao Cao takes advantage of this moment to send troops and leads the army to defeat Zhang Liao and Gaoshun both ways, wouldn't our army be in danger?" Song Xian expressed his doubts. Cao Cao
When he came to chase the three Liu Bei brothers, he felt it was not appropriate, but he did not dare to question Lu Bu. Now that Chu Nan was here, he just threw the ball to Chu Nan.
"Wouldn't that be better?" Chu Nan smiled when he heard this.
When Lu Bu and Song Xian heard this, they looked at Chu Nan with strange expressions. How could it be better?
"It just so happens that we can take Xuchang directly." Chu Nan sneered: "How can Liu Bei be as important as the emperor? If my father-in-law can get the emperor, let alone commanding the princes and winning over people's hearts in the future, it will be much more uncomfortable than it is now."
The two people's eyes lit up after hearing this, and they seemed ready to take action immediately, but Chu Nan's next words were like cold water that poured water over them from beginning to end.
"For this reason, unless the front line is completely defeated, Cao Cao will definitely not take action without permission. Whether Liu Bei can be wiped out in this battle is the key to victory or defeat for our army and Cao Cao." Chu Nan said as he walked: "If
Our army is victorious and has captured all the land in Runan, so we can march straight into Xuchang. On the other hand, if Cao Cao is born, not only will Runan retreat, but this battle against Cao will also end in failure."
Chu Nan's explanation was very detailed and the reasoning was very clear. To put it simply, the Runan battlefield has now become the key to the battle between Cao and Lu.
Because Xiahou Dun was destroyed at the beginning, Cao Cao fell into a passive position. At the same time, he fought from Runan to Xuchang, which was not far away. This is why Cao Cao was willing to release Liu Bei.
If Cao Cao leaves at this time to fight off Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Xuchang will inevitably fall into a state of emptiness. At that time, why should Lu Bu stop talking nonsense with Liu Bei and go directly to capture Xuchang? It would not be too late to deal with Liu Bei in turn.
"By the way, father-in-law, why are you here?" Chu Nan asked Lu Bu after finishing talking about the business.
"Come after Liu Bei!" Lu Bu simply said what happened this morning when the three brothers came to provoke him. His language talent was obviously not as good as his son-in-law. It was originally a very exciting scene, but it fell flat in his mouth.
It was bland and tasteless, but Chu Nan understood the meaning.
"Then Liu Bei seems to be deliberately seducing his father-in-law." Chu Nan frowned and said, the behavior of these three brothers is too suspicious.
"What are you trying to lure me into?" Lu Bu asked in confusion.
"I think there is an ambush. My father-in-law also told me that Zhong Yao is good at strange arts. As far as my disciples know, although these strange arts are powerful, they rely heavily on geographical advantages, just like the last battle in Guangling, where Chen
The father and son relied on their talents to build a city!" Chu Nan explained with a smile.
Last time they went in to take a look at the Eight-Gate City, but no one was in charge. Lu Bu got lost, and finally managed to break through the city wall.
This is still the Eight Gate City with no one in charge. If Lu Bu had gone in without hesitation, God knows what would have happened.
Thinking of this, a gloomy look flashed in Lu Bu's eyes: "Zi Yan is saying that the big-eared thief also wants to trick me into some strange formation?"
Chu Nan didn't answer, just nodded.
There is no way, this Qimen Formation is not easy to deploy, and the terrain requirements are very strict. Not only the terrain must be consistent, but there are also requirements in terms of earth veins and Feng Shui. Some places are naturally yin, and some places cannot be planted no matter what.
Anything, this kind of place usually has problems with Feng Shui or ley lines.
Therefore, generally using this kind of thing against the enemy is of no benefit. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is only useful in specific places. Unless you can build an eight-gate city like the Chen family and his sons, and then have enough ability to move this thing around at will.
Otherwise, the Qimen formations that have been painstakingly deployed are usually disposable consumables and are far less efficient than using soldiers to train a Qimen formation.
But the problem is that it takes time to train this thing, so Chu Nan guessed that there is a high probability that the opponent will set up some novel formation waiting for Lu Bu to fall into his trap.
