Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 408 Eight-door Golden Lock Formation

When Xu Shu said this, Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter, which made Xu Shu feel a little strange!
"My lord, why did you laugh?"

Liu Bei said:

"I also agree with the military advisor's concern. Cao Su, who is called Qilin Sanction, does have such abilities! It's just..."

"Master, you don't have to worry so much that he will be among Cao's troops who are attacking this time!"

Xu Shu was puzzled, "Why?"

Liu Bei said firmly:
"Because if Brother Shuren has really come out of the mountain, then he will definitely not persuade Cao Cao to attack Xinye, but will let him go straight to Jingzhou!"

When Xu Shu heard his words, his face was full of doubts!
Liu Bei continued:
"Although Brother Shuren and I belong to different camps and have different positions, I know his heart well. It is different from Cao Cao. Cao Cao attacked me for two reasons!"

"Firstly, I thought that by taking Jingzhou, I would kill Liu Bei by the way to avenge my personal grievances!"

"Secondly, Jingzhou is the most important step for Cao Cao to fulfill his ambition. Attacking Xinye first is also to test the attitude of the Cai clan!"

Having said that, he looked at Xu Shu and said lightly:
"Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. Attacking me in Xinye just proved his thoughts. If Cao Su is really by his side, do you think he would be so cautious in his tactics?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly said, "It is true, if it is something planned by Qilin's talents, it must be foolproof, and Cao Cao's attack on Xinye just proved that he is not sure about capturing Jingzhou!"

Liu Bei nodded, "What the military adviser said is very true, and I mean the same thing!"

At this moment, Xu Shu showed shame and said, "My lord, I am so stupid!"

Liu Bei looked very indifferent, waved his hands and said, "This statement is wrong. If there is no military adviser planning in the past two years, I still don't know where Liu Bei is wandering now, but..."

"Back then, I had a close relationship with that Qilin talent. It's a pity that he is the younger brother of that Cao thief. If not, I really want to ask him to come out of the mountain and help me help the Han Dynasty!"

Xu Shu also sighed with emotion, "Yeah, in front of Qilin's talents, Xu is indeed too far behind!"

"Military advisers don't need to underestimate themselves!"

Liu Bei smiled and comforted him, "Kirin is the same, how many unicorns are there in this world? The talent of Mr. Bei is enough for Bei to learn for a lifetime!"

Xu Shu also laughed, "It is said that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. Looking at it today, it is not very appropriate. After all, Cao Su is called the second in the text. Who dares to be the first? Even if it is my two Brother..."

Having said this, he suddenly closed his mouth and laughed dryly, "My lord, I made a slip of the tongue, let's discuss the matter of defending against the enemy!"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "The military master was joking. Just now you said that you still have two senior brothers? I don't know if they..."

Xu Shu hurriedly interrupted with a dry smile, "My lord, they are all scattered people from the idle clouds and wild cranes, so don't mention them!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei gave up. He could only raise the teacup in his hand and smile at him!
Although he looked relatively calm, in fact, Liu Bei was still somewhat worried in his heart!
It is said that Cao Ren is an admiral trained by Cao Cao and Cao Su himself, and now he brings troops to attack him, he really has no idea!
Since he raised his army, he has been repeatedly defeated in battles. He was either driven around by Cao Cao or other princes. Even in the past two years, the Cai family of Jingzhou could hardly tolerate him!

He needs a hearty battle to solve the morale problem in the army, and he also needs this victory to regain his determination to help the Han Dynasty!

Xu Shu!It is his only hope!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt that Liu Bei relied too much on this fortune teller!
Although they got along with each other in the past two years, the two of them appreciated Xu Shu's behavior of holding a sword for his friends back then, and they were relatively harmonious on weekdays!
But the leader of the army is not fighting with two bowls of wine, just bragging!
If it weren't for Liu Bei's face, under such a crisis, they wouldn't even waste a word with Xu Shu, and they would have rushed out to meet the enemy with their troops!
After seeing Liu Bei say a few words briefly, they hurriedly dispersed the crowd!
Soon, two days passed!
With tens of thousands of powerful troops, Cao Ren has arrived outside Fancheng, which is less than [-] miles away from Xinye City!

Li Dian originally wanted to suggest that Cao Ren go to the city to rest for a while, and then discuss the matter of siege in the long run!
Unexpectedly, Cao Ren didn't listen to him at all, and rushed to Xinye overnight with [-] soldiers and horses!

The next morning!

Cao Ren began to shout outside the gate of Xinye City, and ordered his troops to set up formations, waiting for Liu Bei to send troops out to fight!

In Xinye City, seeing Cao Ren's provocation, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately wanted to lead the troops into battle, but they were stopped by Xu Shu!

"My lord, Cao's army is in full swing at this time. I just need to hold out and shoot at the wings with a bow and crossbow. After noon, when Cao's army is tired, I will try to break the formation!"

After Liu Bei heard this, without saying a word, he ordered Zhao Yun:
"Zilong! Follow the generals of the military division!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun clapped his hands and went down!

But Xu Shu and Liu Bei continued to go back to the army tent to laugh and talk about the romance!

Several hours later, Cao Ren led the soldiers to shout for a long time, and he was really tired!

But I still don't see Liu Bei going out of the city to fight!
"General, shall we continue to wait?"

Cao Ren glanced at Xiangwu Shifen, and shouted coldly, "Keep shouting! I don't believe it, this Liu Bei will be able to hide for the rest of his life!"

At the same time, in Xinye City, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's request to fight has been sent to Liu Bei several times!
But this time Liu Bei still suppressed it!
Seeing this, Xu Shu smiled, "My lord, why didn't you ask me how to defeat the enemy?"

Liu Bei smiled faintly, "Since you didn't say anything, you are sure of your plans, so why should I disturb your mind again!"

Xu Shu said with emotion, "My lord, you are indeed the king of the world, and it is my Xu Shu's good fortune to assist you!"

Liu Bei smiled, "Come on! Continue drinking tea!"

Xu Shu refused at this moment, "My lord, it's time, let the two generals Guan and Zhang come in!"

"No need! I have been waiting outside for a long time, and I respect the orders of the military!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walked in from the outside at this time, although their words were sincere, their tone was not difficult to be a little arrogant!

Xu Shu didn't care too much, he defeated eight chess pieces on the table with a smile, and said:
"The formation Cao Ren cited was the eight-door golden lock formation, which is divided into eight gates of 'Xiu, Sheng, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Surprise, and Open'. This formation is an ancient formation created by Sun Bin, but now It has evolved over the years and has changed!"

"The commander's platform in the formation is Longan. This formation is so mysterious that few people can crack it. Once you lead troops to rush in, I'm afraid you will never return!"

"It's so powerful?"

Liu Bei frowned slightly, looking a little surprised, "This Cao Ren really has the talent of a general, and he even used only ten thousand people to form such a powerful formation!"

But Xu Shu smiled and said, "Yes or no, this Cao Ren has only learned a little bit of formation, and has never learned the essence. All he needs is a fierce general with a thousand fast cavalry. Break out the door, this formation... can be cracked!"
