The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 990
Yan Qing escorted Shen Kuo, Lai Buyi, and Yu Fan to the Tianmen Formation in less than ten days.

Marshal Zhuge Liang was very happy when he saw Shen Kuo and Yu Fan. Both of them were friends of Zhuge Liang, and each of them had their own strengths.

Zhuge Liang is strong in omnipotence, and this omnipotence is at the level of proficiency. Similarly, Shen Kuo is also omnipotent, a heavenly genius, and the two have many things in common.

For example, Zhuge Liang and Shen Kuo are both inventors, proficient in astronomy, geography, art of war, spells and so on.

However, Yu Fanzhi did not shine in history because of the secret investment of the Pearl, and Sun Quan is half-assed in everything he does, so he is not mentioned.

And Lai Buyi Zhuge Liang didn't know much, but he wouldn't be a mediocre person if he could be sent by the emperor.

There was no such thing as cleaning up the dust, and the war was tense and they entered the camp directly. As soon as the three of them entered the camp, they saw a lifelike large model.

The entire model is as big as the Eight Immortals Table of the later generations. The terrain near Yumen Pass is clear at a glance. There are various flags in black, yellow, blue, white, red, green, and black inserted on it. There are at most 72 small yellow flags, which are similar to the swastika. Structural order, eighteen small blue flags, eleven green small flags, eight white and eight red flags each are composed of one rule, while the black small flags and texts are especially placed aside.

Both Yu Fan and Lai Buyi are proficient in the people of Yi. At first glance, this is a formation and contains the principles of the five elements and eight trigrams. Although Shen Kuo has not studied Yi so deeply, he can also see that this is an army formation.

That's right, this model is a shortened version of the Tianmen Formation, which can be regarded as a sand table. The Tianmen Formation includes eight inner and outer gates, eleven star generals, 28 star generals, and 72 generals at a glance.

The black flag obviously represents the Great Song Legion, and the words on the small flag are the surnames of the commanders of each legion, such as Zhuge, Du, Zhao, Di, Taishi, and so on.

This is the model that Zhuge Liang personally made with Liu Ye for three days to deduce the Tianmen Formation. In the big tent, there are Liu Ye, Li Zhu, Yuan Wu, Qiao Daoqing, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, Cheng Gongying and other counselors who are thinking about it from time to time. Take the small flag as a deduction.

Everyone's faces were full of serious thinking, and even Shen Kuo, Yu Fan, and Lai Buyi didn't know that they had entered the big tent.

When Yan Qing was about to introduce the three of them to everyone, Shen Kuo, Yu Fan, and Lai Buyi waved their hands and looked at the model for themselves and joined in thinking.

Of course, because the three of Shen Kuo had just arrived, they hadn't seen the Tianmen Formation and were still in the understanding stage.

Zhuge Liang didn't bother, but joined in thinking on the sidelines. I don't know how long it took Yu Fan to ask about the situation of the Tianmen Formation change before he woke up. Everyone present saluted the three of them one by one. After introducing each other for a while, Zhuge Liang personally narrated the trial day The change.

After a while of demonstration, everyone fell into deep thought again.

As the defensive side, Yan Rong has a favorable terrain, and the Tianmen Formation is set up at the back of the formation, and there are many people who are not in a hurry. It is not a loss to block the Song army. Even if the consumption of food and grass is huge, it is not meaningless.

But the Song Dynasty is different. Hundreds of thousands of troops are assembled, and the food and grass consumed every day is huge.

Therefore, breaking through the Tianmen Formation as early as possible is an important step in the western expedition to the Western Regions.

"The 72 generals are the foundation, the inner eight gates, the outer eight gates, and the gossip, supplemented by eleven Xingyao and 28 stars. This Tianmen array is really tricky!" There is no good way.

Lai Buyi was also sweating profusely. He saw the principle of gossip, but his specialty was a bit wrong. He could tell whether Feng Shui was good or bad, but he couldn't see the power of cooperating with the army.

After all, Tianmen Formation is an army formation containing gossip, not a treasure formation of Fengshui, Lai Buyi felt ashamed for being unable to help.

On the contrary, although Shen Kuo is a genius, he still has a specialization in art. He is the opposite of Lai Buyi. Shen Kuo can see the power of military formation changes and calculate the ratio of troops. It is said that the combination questions are a bit beyond the outline.

But soon Shen Kuo and Lai Buyi began to cooperate, and the two came together to get to know each other better, and now they found that the knowledge of the two could complement each other, so the two began to actively discuss.

That's right, this is the reason for the difficulty. To break through the Tianmen formation, it is not only enough to understand the Book of Changes and be proficient in gossip, but also to understand military formations and battle formations, and to calculate the ratio of troops in combination with Yilai. Talented people have the basic threshold to break through the Tianmen Formation.

And people who are proficient in these three directions at the same time are already absolute talents!

This is also the reason why Lu Heng felt that even if he summoned Mu Guiying, he would not be able to break through the Tianmen Formation. It was because the Yang family's use of the Tianmen Formation's demon technique and Jianglongmu was too effective.

After another three days like this, Gu Shao also rushed to the front line from Luoyang. This person was also amazed by the ingenuity of the Tianmen Formation. The idea didn't come to mind for a while.

Coincidentally, Lai Buyi and Shen Kuo have experience, so he brought Shao Yong into their group communication.

The three found that their knowledge could complement each other here, because Yi is a kind of profound knowledge.

The Book of Changes, also known as the Book of Changes, is one of the three great books in ancient China, the other two being "Shan Hai Jing" and "Huang Di Nei Jing".

The Book of Changes includes Lianshan, Guizang, and Zhouyi, so the Book of Changes can refer to the Book of Changes in general, but Zhouyi cannot represent the Book of Changes in turn.

The Book of Changes includes divination, feng shui, five types, yin and yang, gossip, spells, astronomy, geography, Taoism, and many other branches. It even covers a theory of understanding the universe and the origin of heaven and earth in ancient times.

In other words, it is not a theory but a series of complementary factional knowledge, which is broad and profound enough to study for a lifetime.

Even if Yu Fan and Shao Yong are said to be proficient in Yi, they are actually only proficient in a few knowledge of Yi, while Lai Buyi is proficient in wind and water, Yu Fan is in divination and spelling, and Zhuge Liang specializes in gossip.

This is also the reason why Lu Heng did not allow Taoist priests like Yu Ji and Zuo Ci to come, because although these Taoist priests are also easy to understand, they are more concerned with self-cultivation.

The previous article said that Yi is divided into three parts, Lianshan, Guizang, and Zhouyi. It is completely different for the three factions that are easy to understand. The Taoist priests Yu Ji and Zuo Ci majored in Guizang. There is no association.

But on the contrary, according to folklore, in every troubled time, there are masters who are taught the way to go down the mountain, and these masters who descend the mountain are not taught the simple burial of humane self-cultivation, but the masters who are proficient in magic, astronomy, and geography.

In short, the joining of Gu Shao, Lai Buyi, Yu Fan and others allowed Zhuge Liang to absorb different knowledge of Yi from several people, and thus had some ideas about breaking the sky.
