A day later, Liao Hua led an army of 20,000 to arrive, and Xia Houyuan also chose to camp and wait for the arrival of the army.

Liu Bei in the city, when he learned that the two parties did not move, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and wanted to provoke Mars, but he was persuaded by Zhuge Liang and could only give up.

Inside one city and outside the city on both sides, nearly 100,000 troops ushered in a short period of calm because of Zhuge Liang.

A few days later, Cao Cao arrived, learned about the strange place from Xia Houyuan's mouth, and immediately went to observe it in person under curiosity, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong.

In order to prove what Xia Houyuan said, Cao Cao also sent more than ten people in, but he didn't expect that it was really a boulder, and there was no figure at all.

After waiting for about ten minutes, seeing that no one came out, Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Everyone, do you see anything?" ”

Li Ru on the side said: "Prime Minister, presumably this should be a formation, as long as you find the trick, you should be able to crack it." ”

It seems that the person who arranged the formation is a great talent, and it should be Liu Bei's new Zhuge Liang.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said, "Since it is a formation, Wen You can see one or two." ”

Li Ru shook his head slightly and replied: "This array is rare, and Confucianism is the first time I have seen it, so I haven't seen anything yet, but if I send a few more waves of soldiers and horses in, I should be able to see some." ”

After all, this battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise when the large army of Hanzhong arrives, I am afraid that it will add a lot of trouble.

Cao Cao adopted Li Ru's words, first invested 100 people, then 500, and until 2,000, there was still no return, and he couldn't help but stop sending troops.

Two or three thousand people, in this narrow place, there are already a lot, it is impossible that there is no movement at all, at least you can see a little.

It seems that this array is indeed strange, and it is in vain to send troops again, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he had no choice but to lead the army back to the camp.

Cao Cao's actions were not hidden, so the scouts sent by Liao Hua also saw it clearly and forwarded the news back.

It was so strange that Liao Hua didn't dare to make a move, and strictly ordered the soldiers to prepare for defense and directly send the news back to the north.

After the Guandu War, Li Huiyi began to be the shopkeeper, only sitting in the rear to operate the command, Jingzhou changed, he has ordered Xu Shu and Li Shu to choose the opportunity to move, and let him encounter undecided things, immediately fly pigeons to pass the book.

On this day, Li Huiyi accompanied his son, as if a monk was chanting scriptures, teaching them how to behave, while the two ladies were pulling the family routine on the side, everything was very modern.

"Da Da Da ......" Li Quan, who has reached middle age, has not reduced his actions at all, but has become more stable, and at this time he walked quickly, stopped not far away, and did not come forward to disturb.

"Taking people as a mirror can see the gains and losses, taking the mirror as a mirror can be neatly dressed, the past can know the present, and the self can know people, the meaning of this sentence ......"

Li Huiyi didn't notice Li Quan's arrival at this time, and glanced at it while talking, and saw that Li Quan was standing not far away, so he stopped talking and stepped forward to ask.

"What's wrong, but what happened in Jingzhou?"

Li Quan replied: "General, outside Nanyang City, I don't know what has been laid down, and no one can get close to the city. ”

"Huh?" If you can't get close to the city, what's the use of having more soldiers and horses, Li Huiyi asked, "Be specific." ”

As Li Quan said the news sent back by Liao Hua word by word, Li Huiyi already understood what was going on, and there was a trace of doubt on his face.

What does this Zhuge Liang mean, how did he arrange the Bagua Array, and what changes did he make?

Wait a minute!

Could it be that something happened to their mother and son?

Impossible, where is Pang Tong, with Liu Bei's wisdom, he shouldn't find them, and if there is really a situation, he should also be notified, so what's going on.

Forget it, first order them to take Nanyang down as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, Li Huiyi thought about it in his heart, and quickly led Li Quan to the study and wrote out the method of cracking the gossip array.

And urged in the letter to let Wei Yan break the city as soon as possible, and return the five orders, so that Wei Yan must keep Mrs. Cai's mother and son safe no matter what the circumstances.

Because for Mrs. Cai, Li Huiyi has always had a debt in his heart, although it was Master Cai who was forced to do so at the beginning, but in that situation, Li Huiyi thought that if it were him, he would choose the same, after all, no father would watch his daughter follow a precarious person and live a fearful life.

With the news of Li Huiyi coming back, Wei Yan's army has also arrived, and more than 100,000 troops on both sides have camped in a short distance and maintained a microsecond relationship.

Cao Cao did not take the lead in attacking his own side, and Wei Yan would not take the initiative to attack, because Li Huiyi had explained before the war and tried not to provoke a war with Cao Cao.

The most important thing at present is to take Nanyang and capture Liu Bei, then it will occupy the dominance of Jingzhou.

As soon as Wei Yan arrived, he read Li Huiyi's letter, and immediately gathered his troops and horses, preparing to watch the battle first.

As soon as Wei Yan moved, Cao Cao couldn't bear the loneliness, and led the army to observe from a short distance, wanting to see what Wei Yan had.

Looking at the dazzling pile of stones, Wei Yan quickly calculated in his heart, and finally sent more than ten personal guards, and let them enter the formation after giving an explanation.

After waiting for about an hour, seeing that no one came out, Wei Yan frowned, didn't say a word, pulled his horse and went back to the camp.

Seeing that Wei Yan had no way to take this formation, Cao Cao felt a little at ease, as long as Jingzhou did not fall into the hands of Li Huiyi, then Cao Cao was willing to defeat or not win, or return in vain.

Wei Yan returned to the camp and suddenly issued a puzzling order, that is, the whole army rested, and gathered at nightfall, and did not say what to do.

Although Wei Yan is young, his prestige in this army is still quite high, because the generals under his command are either Zhang Lu's old department or Liu Zhang's old department, and most of them are demoted generals.

As for those who were transferred, they were about the same age as him, so there would be no situation of relying on the old and selling the old and not listening to the command.

In the city, Liu Bei saw the arrival of the armies of both sides, and both sent soldiers and horses to explore the formation, but the result was helpless, and he finally no longer had any scruples in his heart.

In Liu's study, Liu Bei had a rare relaxed expression, and asked Chen Zhi, who was standing, "Is there any progress on what you are asked to do?" ”

Chen Zhi replied respectfully: "Lord, there is already a trace of eyebrows, but there is no actual progress yet. ”

"Hmm." Liu Bei nodded slightly, thought for a while and said: "In this way, half of the city defense soldiers will be transferred to join the search team, and the remnants of the city must be cleared as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that there will be variables." ”

"Yes." Chen Zhi hugged his fists to receive the order, his face showed hesitation, and finally reminded: "Lord, transfer the city defense forces, in case the enemy army attacks the city, wouldn't it be ......?"
