Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 392

And just when Liu Bei was ambitious to subdue Ma Chao, Liu He led the army from the Xiabian of Wudu towards Dingjun Mountain. When his army came to the west side of the mountain, he suddenly saw Xun You He said solemnly: "My lord, wait a minute. There is a faint murderous aura in the stone forest ahead. It seems that the enemy army is ambushing somewhere."

At this time, I saw Xu Shu coming to the stone forest, observed carefully for a while, and then said: "It is not an ambush for the enemy, but an ambush formation. This stone forest is actually a formation. As long as we enter, we will be trapped." It's inside, but the lord doesn't have to worry, this is just an ordinary gossip formation, it can't trap us at all, and this formation just blocks this mountain road, if we want to go around, I'm afraid it will take dozens or even hundreds of people. A distance of [-] miles is enough, this trip will waste a lot of time, rescue soldiers is like putting out a fire, now it is uncertain what is going on in Nanzheng, so we can't afford to delay."

"In that case, let's go in." Liu He nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, after you go in, according to what I said, you can easily pass through this place by entering from the Shengmen and exiting from the Jingmen." Xu Shu was very confident in this formation, and he took the lead and led Liu He and the army behind him. move forward.

"Pass down the order and let the soldiers follow closely, not to be half a step behind." Since there is only a faint murderous aura in the formation, it means that this is just a trapped formation, and at most it is just a deceptive feeling, making it impossible to find the right way. However, if you can’t find a way, some people will never be able to go out for the rest of their lives, and they will be trapped here for life and death, so they must follow closely. Once they fall behind, it will be difficult to find the direction.

However, after the army left for a long time, they still returned to the original point. This was because Liu He had a sudden inspiration before leaving, and carved a mark on one of the stones, and then discovered the abnormality after returning.

"This, how is this possible?" Xu Shu looked in disbelief, because the method of breaking the formation like this was engraved in his mind. From which direction he walked, he could set up according to the size of the formation. Determine the distance traveled in each direction, and with such a clear method of breaking the formation, there is no possibility of going wrong.

However, the narrator also had to admit that he had indeed failed, because when Liu He made the mark, he could see it clearly, and now he turned back. This is an undeniable fact.

"My lord, forgive me. This may be due to my miscalculation. I went in the wrong direction. Please try again. This time, I will definitely get out of this stone forest."

Xu Shu's face was full of shame, cold sweat dripped down, but he wiped it off regardless, and said bitterly to Liu He.

At this moment, Liu He shook his head and said, "Yuanzhi, your character has always been cautious. I know that you made a mistake in your plan just now, but there is one thing you may have made a mistake in, that is, this formation may not be what you intended. The well-known gossip formation, I know that Zhuge Liang is also good at formations and strategies, so I think this must be deliberately designed by Zhuge Liang to make it look the same as the gossip formation on the outside, but it has changed inside, and it is also It is because of this that you cannot judge the correct direction."

When Xu Shu heard this, he was startled, recalled it carefully for a while, and then said: "My lord's words are indeed reasonable. I just recalled carefully. There was indeed something wrong when I left before. At that time, I felt a little weird in my heart, because it stands to reason There should be no stones blocking the opening of the door, but there is a small unremarkable stone standing there. I thought it was the negligence of the formation setters, but now it seems that it must be the other party's way of confusing, but once the other party really changes the layout The rules of the formation, then this formation is a new rule, and this new rule is not clear for a while, if you want to figure it out, it will probably take at least half a day, and I don’t know if it will be too late.”

Liu He shook his head and said: "It must be too late. Since Zhuge Liang did this, it proves that he knows your ability and that this formation can trap you for a long time. If so, he must have used it for a long time. It's time to attack the city, and if that's the case, I believe that after half a day, Nanzheng City will no longer be owned by our army."

"Ah? Then, what should we do? My lord, this is all because of the concubine's temporary bravery, which led to the current situation. The concubine has committed a capital crime, and I ask the lord to punish him." Xu Shu knew that he had missed something important, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. , bowed to Liu He and apologized.

However, Liu He laughed and said: "Yuan Zhi doesn't have to be like this. This was originally Zhuge Liang's scheme. This Zhuge Liang is unparalleled in his schemes. It's not surprising that he has such a scheme. However, there is one thing he can't think of. I have already prepared to crack him." As long as he has this artifact in his hand, even if he changes his formation [-] times, it will be useless in front of me."

"What, what? What does my lord mean, you have already made preparations, and you are also carrying a magic weapon to break the formation? This, this, I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but it can break this maze?" Xu Shu listened to Liu He. If so, with a look of surprise and disbelief.

But seeing Liu He took out something from his sleeve with a smile, gave it to Xu Shu and said: "This thing is called a compass. Because it has a compass on it, it is also called a compass needle. It is actually a specially improved compass. The object can point out the direction correctly, the direction pointed by his pointer is true north, we entered from this direction, we are now at this direction, and the exit is at this direction, as long as we walk towards this direction, we will be able to get out of this maze."

"Finger, a compass? There is such a magical thing? I thought that the compass chariot was just a legend when the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, but I didn't expect such a thing to exist." Xu Shu looked at it in surprise. With the palm-sized compass needle in Liu He's hand, he sighed softly.

"Actually, although this object is rare, the ancient method has existed. Let alone whether the legendary compass car is true or not, but in the Warring States Period, there was a kind of direction-indicating object called Sinan in history, which is a genus of the compass." Liu He showed off his history to Xu Shu, and saw that he was almost pretending, and he didn't understand any more, and time was precious, so he immediately led everyone to follow the direction indicated by the compass.

What is exciting is that according to the instructions of the compass, everyone really walked out of the maze and came to another exit of the stone formation.

"It's a good thing that my lord brought a compass this time. Otherwise, I might have been in trouble. I'm not good at learning and almost missed an important event. I'm so ashamed." Xu Shu apologized to Liu He with a look of shame on his face.

Liu He naturally didn't care, but said: "Zhuge Liang is not a simple person. I was on guard against him from the beginning. Fortunately, otherwise, I'm afraid I would really be fooled by him. Hehe, now the enemy has a small number of troops. , is guarding outside to observe the movement of our army, let's catch him by surprise and wipe out this army, which can be regarded as breaking Zhuge Liang's eyes and ears."

"My lord, let the last general go." Pan Feng and Pei Yuanshao geared up and came up to ask for orders immediately.
