    "I did lose this battle. But I'm not convinced!"

    When Guan Yu heard this, he frowned, his eyes showed a bit of contempt, and he was about to shout.  However, Xi Zhicai stopped Guan Yu and waved.

    "Oh? What's wrong with you!?"

    "You can break my formation, but that doesn't mean I can't break yours. Do you dare to compete? If you lose, I will be convinced!"

    Fa Zheng¡¯s eyes sparkled, like two firelights twinkling in the dark night.  When Xi Zhicai heard this, he smiled calmly and said slowly.  

    "Why don't you dare!? It's already midnight today, how about fighting again tomorrow!?"

    "Okay! I'll wait until tomorrow to see what's going on!"

    Fazheng also had this intention and readily agreed.  Xi Zhicai's smile became even stronger and he said calmly.

    "You will definitely see it."

    After Xi Zhi finished speaking, he glanced at Guan Yu.  Guan Yu understood and made a move with his sword, and the troops retreated slowly.  That night, Pan Feng's garrison returned to the stronghold and had a talk with Fa Zheng.

    "Today our army has lost the first battle, and its morale has been greatly reduced. Don't miss it tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the Tang army!"

    Hearing this, Fazheng frowned deeply. Although he seemed to be confident just now, in fact, he was unsure in his heart and said in a solemn voice.

    "Xi Zhicai is not only a man of many talents, but also proficient in formations. He is actually a close enemy of our army. Tomorrow, let's see what the formation is like. If we are not 70 or 80% sure, General Pan can look at his gestures.  When I came out at the right time, I said that I am not a general and have no right to decide this matter. I just want to replace this fighting formation with a fighting general. "

    After hearing this, Pan Feng's face changed slightly and she looked at Fazheng silently.  Fa Zheng has always been upright in his actions, and he is also a proud man. If by chance he does what Fa Zheng says, Fa Zheng will be completely disgraced, and this incident will be a lifelong shame for him.  Fazheng seemed to see the concern in Pan Feng's eyes, and shook his head with a bit of bitterness.

    "General, don't worry too much. As the saying goes, soldiers are never tired of deceit. When facing the enemy in two formations, it is natural to choose one's own strengths and attack the other's weaknesses. Although Guan Yunchang is extremely skilled in martial arts, if the general fights with him to the death, the outcome will be difficult to determine. And our army still has the talent.  The general is in charge. Except for Guan Yunchang, there is no other general in the army who can defeat him. As for the ugly tiger E Huan, he is just a man with no plans and is nothing to worry about. But beware of the young general named Deng Ai, who is both wise and brave.  He will become a great weapon in the future. If he can be captured, if he can be persuaded and trained for a few years, he will become a general. But if he cannot, get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. "

    Hearing this, Pan Feng nodded slightly and remembered the name Deng Ai in his heart.

    But it was said that the Tang army won the first battle, and Guan Yu led the victorious army back to the city to reward the three armies.  Guan Yu first captured Cangcheng, then broke through Guanzhong, and then killed Zhang Ren and defeated his army.  Then he defeated Pan Fengjun for a while.  Guan Yu succeeded every time, and his pride grew stronger.  That night, Guan Yu summoned a group of civil and military officials to discuss the situation and planned to take advantage of the situation to pursue him.

    With a faint smile on his face, Xi Zhicai walked away.

    "The other army was defeated for a while, and its energy has been dulled. If it is defeated by our army again tomorrow, the general can take advantage of the situation to attack and defeat the other army. However, I believe that Fa Xiaozhi is a cautious person. If he is not 70% or 80% sure,  He will definitely change his mind suddenly and switch to fighting generals or fighting soldiers."

    When Guan Yu heard this, the disdain in his eyes became even stronger, and he snorted coldly.

    "Hmph! The Shu people are cunning and incompetent, and it is possible that they will be like this. Does the military advisor have a plan to deal with it?"

    Hearing this, Xi Zhicai looked calm, the smile on his face became thicker, and he said calmly.

    "General, don't worry too much. I have already seized the opportunity. I heard that Zhuge Liang is the best at formations. Among them, the Eight Diagrams formation modified from the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation can withstand millions of elite soldiers. It is no coincidence that in recent years, I  He also studied the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation, took the essence of it, and changed the formation into a formation called the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation. This formation seems to be no different from the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation, but it actually contains a secret that Fa Xiaozhi once taught Zhuge Liang.  I'm here to learn about formations. Zhuge Liang has no hidden skills, so he must have taught the Bagua formation. However, this formation is really unusual. Fa Xiaozhi must have only learned three or four of them, so he didn't dare to use these eight formations today.  I must be very familiar with the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation. Tomorrow I will display the eight-door golden lock formation, but I will teach Nafa Xiaozhi that it is the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation. I will certainly dare to break the formation."

    When Guan Yu heard this, his face was overjoyed.  After everyone made a decision, they all went to have a rest.

    The next day at dawn, the Tang and Shu armies met again at the foot of Longhu Mountain.  The two armies set up their respective formations. Fazheng drove his horses out of the formation and shouted to Xi Zhicai.

    "Xi Zhicai, you set up the formation and I'll watch!"

    Xi Zhicai smiled calmly and immediately entered the formation, teaching the sergeants to wave their flags. The armies were already prepared. When the formation changed, they immediately took up their positions.  Xi Zhicai smiled calmly before returning to the formation.

    "Can you recognize my formation?"

    Fazheng pretended to have a solemn look on his face, but in fact he was smiling secretly in his heart. With his eyes closed, he could place the eight-door golden lock formation on a sand table with stones, so naturally he closed his eyes.?Can break this formation.  Fazheng knew in his heart that Xi Zhicai was always cunning, and was afraid that he would see the flaw, but he pretended to be calm and sneered.

    "How can you not recognize this eight-door golden lock array?"

    Hearing this, Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows and laughed.

    "You know it when you know it. Do you dare to attack me?"

    "Now that you know it, why don't you dare to fight! I can break it in a moment. It's just a fighting formation, so there is no need to use more soldiers and horses. You use three thousand soldiers to set up the formation, and I only use a hundred cavalry to break it!!"

    Fa Zheng spoke loudly, as if he was really confident.  Xi Zhicai laughed loudly, as if he was laughing in anger, and shouted sternly.

    "What an ignorant rat, how dare you use a hundred cavalry to break through my formation!! Just call me!!"

    After Xi Zhi finished laughing, he went back to the formation, took three thousand soldiers and horses, and set up a formation.  However, he said that he was returning to the main formation, with a calm look on his face, and he was sharing the road with the three generals Pan Feng, Hua Xiong and Pan Ping.

    "This Xi Zhicai thinks he is getting something, but he doesn't know that I know the eight-door Golden Lock Formation very well. This formation consists of eight doors: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Open. The three generals can follow the correct path.  Enter through the Dongsheng Gate, attack through the southwest gate, and attack through the due north gate. This formation can be broken. As long as you follow my instructions, this formation will be broken, but you must not underestimate the enemy.  "Xiu, there must be strong generals guarding the three gates. If there is any emergency, you can look at the flags in our army and adapt accordingly."

    Hearing this, Pan Feng nodded slightly, his eyes twinkling with murderous intent.  So the three generals followed Fa Zheng's instructions, with Pan Feng in the middle, Hua Xiong in front, and Pan Ping in the back. Each of them led more than thirty riders, a total of one hundred people, and suddenly came out.  Xi Zhicai's formation had been set up a long time ago, and he sneered again and again when he saw that the Shu army's hundreds of cavalry had indeed entered from the direction of Shengmen.  In an instant, Hua Xiong, the leader, rushed in on horseback. The two armies shouted for help, and the momentum was overwhelming.  Hua Xiong felt like his blood was boiling all over his body. He galloped into the formation with his horse and sword in hand. He rushed forward in a straight line. Generals Pan Feng and Pan Ping each led their followers to charge towards them. Hua Xiong shook his head and saw that the raw gate was broken.  Waiting for the Tang army to attack fiercely and fight.  Unexpectedly, General Tang was nowhere to be seen.  Suddenly, Xi Zhicai waved the flag, and the Tang army's formation suddenly changed. Two Tang soldiers with swords and shields in front suddenly rushed out and surrounded them.

    Hua Xiong was so anxious that he fought bravely, but there was no conflict.  Pan Feng flew forward on his horse, the giant mountain-climbing ax in his hand flying non-stop, and finally opened a breach.  The three men hurriedly led their cavalry to turn around and rush toward Xiumen in the southwest. At this moment, arrows flew from the sky. Pan Feng and other generals were unprepared, and they were shot so hard that they turned their horses upside down and killed dozens of people.  Seeing that Pan Feng and others were shot by Tang soldiers, there was no conflict.  Fazheng's face suddenly changed at this moment. How could the eight-door Golden Lock Formation have three doors: birth, sleep, and open, instead of three doors: injury, death, and shock!  Fa Zhengjiu's sergeant waved a flag, signaling Pan Feng and others to leave.  Pan Feng looked at it and turned around. Now there were many formations on top of each other, all with portals. Where are they divided into east, west, north and south?  The three generals couldn't care about each other and just bumped into each other, but they saw the melancholy clouds and mist.  Where the shouts started, groups of Tang soldiers rushed towards them, surrounding Pan Feng and others.  Pan Feng's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

    "If you don't fight to the death, you will be captured by the thieves!! All armies, follow me and charge to kill!!"

    Pan Feng shouted sternly and charged forward. Hua Xiong and Pan Ping would follow closely. The three of them did not care about commanding the troops and followed Pan Feng in front.  Pan Feng was worthy of being an unparalleled general. Even with thousands of troops, it would be difficult for him to resist him. Now he broke a bloody path and headed in the direction of Jingmen.  Two long spearmen on the left and right came to intercept and kill him, with arrows in front of them covering the sky.  Pan Feng wielded his giant axe, and while resisting the arrows, he reined in his horse and charged towards the right.  Xi Zhicai was on a high slope in the mountain, looking down from a high position, watching Pan Feng and others struggling to death, his smile grew stronger, and he waved the flag again.  The formation kept changing, and in an instant there were only less than twenty people left out of the hundred cavalry.

    Fazheng on the other side was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He had already realized that this was not the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation at all. Xi Zhicai must have taken the essence of this formation and created another one.  Fazheng tried to calm down, and at the same time his mind was racing, and what he recalled in his mind was Zhuge Liang's explanation of the essence of the Bagua diagram to him.  Suddenly, Fazheng had a sudden epiphany. As the saying goes, the essence of everything is inseparable. Xi Zhicai's formation was originally modified from the foundation of the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation, and the Bagua Diagram fully brought out the essence of this formation.  If Zhuge Liang were here, he would be able to see the depth of it at a glance.  However, Fazheng is not inferior, and his talent in battle tactics is unique.  Fa Zheng hurriedly ordered the sergeant to wave the flag.  While Pan Feng was charging to kill, he saw his army's flag waving, and actually taught him to look at the center of the formation to break through.  There were the largest number of troops in the formation. If Pan Feng hadn't believed in Fa Zheng, he would have thought that Fa Zheng had already surrendered to the enemy and was plotting to harm him.  However, Pan Feng was impressed by Fa Zheng's character. He gritted his teeth and turned his horse, leading Pan Ping, Hua Xiong and others to the center of the formation.

    When Xi Zhicai saw Pan Feng and others looking towards the formation, the smile on his face stopped immediately, his brows furrowed, and he waved the flag again.  The Tang army's formation began to change again.  When Pan Feng and others reached the formation, there were only less than 100 people left around them.?, eight people, now surrounded by a sea of ??people, surrounded by people.  At this time, Fazheng taught the sergeants to wave the flag, and taught Pan Feng and others to look to the southeast where they had just entered.  Pan Feng's expression changed, and he didn't have time to think too much. He reined in his horse and charged suddenly. The giant mountain-cutting ax in his hand was flying non-stop. Generals Hua Xiong and Pan Ping, one on the left and one on the right, each danced their weapons and fought desperately.  Suddenly, there was a shout from the front, and Guan Yu was seen blocking the front.  Pan Feng was overjoyed when he saw that Guan Yu was not afraid of it. Guan Yu was waiting here, so this must be the place where the formation was broken.  Pan Feng roared wildly, Pegasus charged wildly, and generals Hua Xiong and Pan Ping trembled.  Guan Yu's face was cold, his red phoenix eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, he slapped his horse and flew up. The red rabbit horse galloped with its hooves, bringing up a cloud of dust.  Pan Feng arrived first, raised his giant ax and struck Guan Yu in front of him.  Guan Yu ducked and slashed with his sharp sword. Hua Xiong rushed to the side and blocked the attack with his sword.  Pan Ping rushed forward on his horse and slashed at Guan Yu's right side of the neck.  Guan Yu hurriedly turned his sword and swung away the big sword that Pan Ping was looking at.  Pan Feng took advantage of the situation and struck violently with his axe. Guan Yu could not withstand the power of the three generals for a while, and was killed and retreated steadily.  At this moment, Tang soldiers rushed in from all directions.  Pan Feng didn't dare to neglect, so he ordered Hua Xiong and Pan Ping to withdraw first.  The two generals broke through first, and Pan Feng fought and retreated. Guan Yu suddenly gained momentum and raised the Qinglong Sword, like a flying dragon.  Pan Feng suddenly burst out with momentum and slashed with an axe, like a phoenix spreading its wings and ascending to the sky. The two weapons suddenly collided with a loud bang, as if the heaven and earth were split apart.  The two men and horses retreated violently almost at the same time.  Pan Feng felt that his internal organs were churning, but he did not dare to neglect and took advantage of the situation to break through.  Guan Yu narrowed his red eyes, his red face twitched slightly, and was about to mount his horse to kill.  A large number of Shu soldiers rushed over to respond. Pan Feng, Hua Xiong, and Pan Ping returned to the formation one after another, and the two armies faced off.  After a while, Xi Zhicai rushed over and stopped the attacking troops.  Xi Zhicai quickly cast a look at Guan Yu.  Guan Yu then suppressed Teng Teng's murderous aura and waited quietly to see what happened.  Xi Zhi then reined in his horse and moved forward. His eyes were wandering around Pan Feng, Hua Xiong, and Pan Ping. At this moment, all the hundreds of people and horses had been annihilated.
