Han Zhan just wanted to go back to his own era through the Bagua Formation, so he asked Xun You, who was knowledgeable, for advice. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't know. He didn't expect that when he asked so casually, Xun You seemed to be possessed by a demon, thinking about what was going on with the so-called Eight Formation Diagram.

The army set up a camp fifteen miles away from Yecheng. After the packing was done, Han Zhan began to summon civil and military affairs to discuss matters. He said to everyone straight away: "Everyone, the walls of Yecheng are high and the pools are deep, and our siege equipment is not complete. If we attack rashly, it will inevitably lead to a loss of troops and generals. Therefore, this marquis decided to siege Yecheng without attacking Yecheng, and send troops to seize the surrounding cities, so that Yecheng would become an empty city."

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Ju Su stood out from the queue. He bowed to Han Zhan and said, "Lord, since Su su sued, he has not made any achievements. The matter of seizing the surrounding cities will be completed by Su."

"Junior Ju," Han Zhan asked immediately after he said, "I wonder how many people you need?"

Ju Su smiled and said, "Lord, this city in Jizhou belongs to the Han family. Although Yuan Shao once controlled Jizhou, he could not complete these many counties and officials loyal to the Han family. Zuo only needs a thousand soldiers to persuade the surrounding cities and return to the lord's command."

Although Han Zhan felt that Ju Su was right, those county magistrates and prefects who were loyal to the Han family would open the city and surrender whenever they saw the flag of the Jizhou army appearing under the city, they would open the city and surrender. However, for the sake of stability, he decided to send a reliable general to accompany Ju Su to the city.

Han Zhan's eyes swept back and forth from the generals' queue, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There were still too few generals he could use. Zhang He, Gao Lan stayed in the city, Xiahou Lan entered Wei County to prevent Cao Cao from attacking, and Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others wanted to follow him to attack Yecheng, so they would definitely not be given to Ju Su. After thinking for a while, he shouted to the bottom: "Where is Xiahou Yun?"

With Han Zhan's shout, Xiahou Yun, the only female general in the tent, walked out of the queue with great strides and bowed to Han Zhan with fists: "The last one is here!"

Han Zhan pulled out an arrow from the order box and said to Xiahou Yun: "Captain Xiahou, I will give you two thousand soldiers and horses to protect the safety of Ju Jianjun, and there must be no mistakes!"

Xiahou Yun stepped forward and took the command arrow and replied loudly: "I will obey the order!"

After the meeting, Guo Jia asked someone to find a jar of good wine and was about to drink in the tent, but saw Xun You lifting the curtain and walking in from outside. Seeing Xun You, Guo Jia hurriedly greeted him: "Gongda, you are here just right, how about sitting down and drinking with Guo?"

Xun You sat opposite Guo Jia, looked at him and asked with a serious expression: "Fengxiao, I'll ask you, are you familiar with the formations of the world?"

Guo Jia poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, nodded and said, "I know a little bit, but I don't know what formation Brother Gongda wants to know?"

"Eight-gua-formation." After Xun You said this formation word by word, he asked Guo Jia nervously: "Fengxiao, have you ever heard of it?"

When Guo Jia heard Xun You say this, he quickly put down the wine bottle in his hand and said with some confusion: "Mr. Guo has heard of Fuxi's Bagua, but this is the first time he has heard of this Bagua Formation. I wonder where Brother Gongda heard it?"

"Who else?" Xun You said with some amusement and silence, "Of course it is my cousin. He heard about this formation from somewhere. Today, during the march, he also asked Brother Wei for advice. Brother Wei had never heard of this formation, so he was naturally speechless. I am really ashamed, ashamed!"

"There are many capable people in the world," Guo Jia and Xun You said thoughtfully after finishing their speech: "Maybe the lord was interested in hearing someone mention it unintentionally, so he would ask you specifically."

While the two were chatting, a soldier suddenly heard the voice of a soldier outside the tent: "Mr. Guo can be in the tent?"

"What's the matter?" Guo Jia asked quickly with his voice.

"The lord has to discuss with the sir, please transfer the sir to the big sir."

"I understand," Guo Jia said to the soldiers outside: "You go back first."

After the soldiers left, Guo Jia stood up and said to Xun You, "Brother Gongda, don't worry too much. When Guo goes to the lord, he must find out the Bagua Formation clearly."

Guo Jia came to Han Zhan's tent, and after showing his salute, he asked, "I wonder if the lord is going to call his subordinates here, what can I do to teach you?"

"Fengxiao," Han Zhan called Guo Jia to sit down and said to him: "After repeated considerations, if I attack Yecheng forcing me, I will suffer heavy casualties. I will consider it and change the attack to taking away wisdom."

"Take the wit?" Fortunately, Guo Jia has long been accustomed to Han Zhan's wonderful ideas, so as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately asked, "How is the lord planning to get the wit?"

"Yan Liang is a military general under Yuan Shao," Han Zhan said to Guo Jia: "This marquis intends to send people to disagree with him and Yuan Shao, so that their monarchs and ministers can turn against each other, so that we can have an opportunity."

Guo Jia did not immediately object to Han Zhan's idea, but instead reminded him tactfully: "Lord, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are loyal to Yuan Shao. Even if Yuan Shao wants their heads, they will offer it without hesitation. I am worried that your counter-espionage plan will not succeed."

"Three people become tigers. If they say too many lies, they will become the truth." Han Zhan sneered: "As long as we send people into Yecheng and spread rumors everywhere, saying that the reason why this marquis was able to escape from danger and return to Guantao was that Yan Liang and the marquis secretly colluded, so they deliberately let this marquis go. Yuan Shao was originally an unspoken person. When he first heard these rumors, he would not believe it, but if he talked too many people, he had to doubt Yan Liang. Then we would have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Seeing that Han Zhan was so stubborn, Guo Jia knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he could only say reluctantly: "Since the princess has made up his mind, his subordinates will send people into Yecheng as soon as possible to spread rumors, so that Yuan Shao and Yan Liang's monarch and ministers will turn against each other."

After discussing the plan of alienation, Guo Jia remembered the Bagua Formation and asked Han Zhan for advice: "My lord, have you asked his subordinates if you know the Bagua Formation? However, his subordinates are not knowledgeable and have no idea about this formation. I don't know if the lord can give me some advice."

Hearing Guo Jia’s question, Han Zhan secretly called luck, thinking that he was lucky enough to know some of the basics of the Bagua Formation, otherwise he would have been stopped by him. He coughed gently, cleared his throat, and then said: "The Bagua Formation, which is said to be created by Sun Bin, is divided into Xiu, Sheng, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, and Opening Eight Gates. Guarded by infantry and archers, a command tower is set up in the middle to command the change of the formation according to the enemy's movements, and there are 4416 changes..."

Han Zhan had a very little understanding of the Bagua Formation. If what he said in later generations would make experts laugh, but it seemed unusual for Guo Jia, who had never heard of this formation. After Han Zhan finished speaking, Guo Jia said with emotion: "Guo thought he had been familiar with military books since he was a child and knew everything about the military formations in the world. Now, after listening to his lord's story, he was the frog in the well that was sitting in a well watching the sky."

"Fengxiao is serious." Han Zhan realized that when he just talked about the Bagua Formation, he spoke a little too mysterious, which made Guo Jia believe it. He quickly added: "I have only heard of it, but I have never seen this formation. When I asked Gongda's cousin today, he didn't know at all. I didn't know that Fengxiao was now. I was worried that it was spread by people in the world, and there was no such formation in the world."

When Guo Jia heard Xun You mention the Bagua Formation in his own tent, he thought it was Han Zhan’s whim and fabricated the formation himself, but after listening to his story, he felt that it was still a little reasonable. Seeing him denying the existence of this formation, he was a little convinced: "My lord, since it is said that it was created by Sun Bin, then this formation must exist. It’s just that because Emperor Qin Shihuang burned books and burying scholars, countless military classics were burned to death, which is really heartbreaking."

Han Zhan knew how many pounds he had, and was afraid that if he would continue, he would be helpless. He quickly said to Guo Jia, "Fengxian, it's okay here, you can go back first." Seeing Guo Jia get up and leaving the tent, he quickly reminded him, "You are weak, remember to drink less and get close to women. Do you understand?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Guo Jia laughed and said, "Lord, if there is no beauty in life and no wine in it, then what fun is there to say in life."

Besides, in Yecheng, people were in panic at this moment. I heard that Han Zhan's army was already at the city, and the people in the city packed their luggage, helped the elderly and the children to escape from the city. But Yuan Shao was afraid that the people would escape from the city, which would make the city even more chaotic, so he ordered Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others to close the four doors and not let anyone out of the city.

Feng Ji, who returned from Dongjun, was shocked when he saw so many people piled up at the city gate. He asked Wen Chou, who was commanding the soldiers to maintain public order, "Why are there so many people gathering near the city gate?"

Wen Chou smiled bitterly and said to Feng Ji: "Mr. Yuantu doesn't know anything. Since he heard that the Han family's army was setting up camp fifteen miles away from the city, the city had fallen into chaos, and the people rushed to escape from the city. If the lord had not ordered the city gate to close in time, I'm afraid that Ye City would have been half empty at this moment."

When Feng Ji heard Wen Chou say this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly asked Wen Chou to send someone to open a way among the people and let himself return to the state palace.

Yuan Shao heard the chaos outside and was in a state of turmoil. Suddenly, he heard a servant report that Feng Ji, who had sent a mission to Dongjun, had returned. He quickly ordered: "Hurry and ask Mr. Yuantu to meet him in the back hall."

The servant soon brought Feng Ji to the back hall. Feng Ji saw Yuan Shao sitting in the middle and hurried forward to salute: "Ji has met the lord!"

"Hurry and don't give me a gift!" Yuan Shao was anxious to know when Cao Cao's troops could arrive, so he interrupted Feng Ji and asked anxiously: "I wonder when Cao Mengde's troops could arrive in Yecheng?"

Hearing Yuan Shao’s question, Feng Ji replied guiltily: “Report to the lord, Cao Mengde’s reinforcements have arrived.”

"What, Cao Mengde's troops cannot come, why is this?" Yuan Shao suddenly stood up from his seat, stepped forward and grabbed Feng Ji's clothes, and asked anxiously: "Didn't you say that as soon as you go, Cao Mengde's reinforcements will come? Why can't they come again?"

"Don't be angry." Seeing Yuan Shao in anger, Feng Ji did not dare to struggle, so he could only let the other party grab his clothes and said tremblingly: "Originally, his subordinates had agreed to Cao Mengde to choose a day to send troops. Unexpectedly, the children of the Han family had been wary of Cao Mengde and sent a special army to Wei County to monitor Dongjun. Seeing that the situation was not good for him, Cao Mengde gave up his plan to send troops and sent his subordinates back."

"Damn it, it's abominable!" Yuan Shao pushed Feng Ji away and said viciously: "Cao Mengde, you are not going to save me when I see you die, but when I make a comeback in the future, I must avenge you."

"Lord," Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao had lost his mind because of his anger, and quickly persuaded him: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Please bear with it for a moment. After he defeated the Han family's children, it's not too late to settle the score with Cao Mengde."

When Feng Ji heard Wen Chou say this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly asked Wen Chou to send someone to open a way among the people and let himself return to the state palace.

Yuan Shao heard the chaos outside and was in a state of turmoil. Suddenly, he heard a servant report that Feng Ji, who had sent a mission to Dongjun, had returned. He quickly ordered: "Hurry and ask Mr. Yuantu to meet him in the back hall."

The servant soon brought Feng Ji to the back hall. Feng Ji saw Yuan Shao sitting in the middle and hurried forward to salute: "Ji has met the lord!"

"Hurry and don't give me a gift!" Yuan Shao was anxious to know when Cao Cao's troops could arrive, so he interrupted Feng Ji and asked anxiously: "I wonder when Cao Mengde's troops could arrive in Yecheng?"

Hearing Yuan Shao’s question, Feng Ji replied guiltily: “Report to the lord, Cao Mengde’s reinforcements have arrived.”

"What, Cao Mengde's troops cannot come, why is this?" Yuan Shao suddenly stood up from his seat, stepped forward and grabbed Feng Ji's clothes, and asked anxiously: "Didn't you say that as soon as you go, Cao Mengde's reinforcements will come? Why can't they come again?"

"Damn it, it's abominable!" Yuan Shao pushed Feng Ji away and said viciously: "Cao Mengde, you are not going to save me when I see you die, but when I make a comeback in the future, I must avenge you."
