Cao Ren didn't care about Qu Yi who spoke wildly, because he knew that his formation was taught by the immortals. How could a mere martial artist know such a profound formation? This thing is different from the head-on battle on the battlefield. It has many confusing things in it, which can even make people lose their direction. In addition, various news ambushing, it is almost impossible for people who don't understand the formation to come in.

So Cao Ren put Qu Yi into the formation with confidence, hoping that Qu Yi would not die in the unlucky way so that he could complete the task of capturing Qu Yi alive.

Qu Yi sneered, commanded three hundred soldiers from the Shengmen in the southeast corner into the formation, and then began to fight.

"Huh?" Seeing this scene, a trace of splendor flashed in Cao Ren's eyes, and then he said to himself: "I actually let him be fooled."

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking when he saw Cao Ren's changes.

Cao Ren smiled and said, "It's nothing, he just accidentally hit him and broke into the Shengmen. When the last one enters the formation, he will be able to capture Qu Yi alive."

After saying that, Cao Ren rode his horse into the formation, then came to Qu Yi and said loudly: "I didn't expect that you are lucky enough to break into the life gate, but your luck today is over. Qu Yi, die!"

Cao Ren rode his horse and danced his gun, rushed towards Qu Yi and stabbed him.

Qu Yi laughed and waved his gun to welcome him.

The two of them fought for less than ten times. Cao Ren flew and shot his horse, jumped out of the battle circle, shouting: "It's so amazing, I'll go! Don't chase after me."

Then Cao Ren rode his horse to the north.

Qu Yi did not chase after him and rode his horse towards Ximen who was in the formation.

"Hmm? There's something right again. How is this possible? Humph! I really didn't expect this guy's luck to be so unpredictable! But I want to see if you're lucky like this?"

Until now, Cao Ren didn't believe that Qu Yi had mastered the method of breaking the formation, but would rather believe that Qu Yi's luck was against the will of heaven.

Not long afterwards, Cao Ren was shocked by the next scene, because Qu Yi killed out of Ximen, then rushed in from Ximen and directly towards the southwest!

At this time, even if Cao Ren didn't want to believe it, he now understood that Qu Yi must have mastered the method of breaking the formation!

"This, this, how is this possible? My formation was taught by the immortal. How could an ordinary mortal learn about the method of breaking the formation?"

Cao Ren looked in disbelief, staring at Qu Yi not far away, watching him come and go calmly, and destroying the immortal "formula" he had spent several days setting up. The soldiers in the formation were also killed, and their hearts were like blood was dripping in their hearts.

Qu Yike didn't care about Cao Ren's expression at all. He came out of the formation with satisfaction, happily experienced the joy of success, came to Liu He lightly, and then saluted respectfully: "Report to the lord, the lord, the last lord will fulfill his mission and successfully cracked Cao Ren's eight-door golden lock formation. Now he will re-integrate to the lord."

"Okay! Thank you General Qu for your hard work. I will give you my order. Qu Yi defeated the enemy and made great contributions. Reward one million and a thousand pieces of silk! General Qu, go down and rest first. After you go back, I will immediately fulfill the reward for you!"

After hearing the news that Qu Yi successfully broke the formation, Liu He was immediately overjoyed and rewarded Qu Yi!

Qu Yi's subsequent performance even more satisfied Liu He, because Qu Yi firmly refused the reward and proposed to reward the property Liu He to the soldiers under his command in the name of Liu He.

At this time, Cao Cao was not calm. When Qu Yi walked out of the formation calmly, his heart suddenly sank, knowing that Cao Ren's formation was probably broken.

Then when he saw Cao Ren walking out of the formation dejectedly, he further confirmed his judgment.

"Brother Meng De, your formation is not very good? It was easily broken by me. I don't know what formation you have. Why don't you take it out and let us see it?"

Seeing Cao Cao's formation being broken and his morale was depressed, Liu He laughed loudly and ridiculed.

"Hmph, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever. We will withdraw our troops later!" In this case, Cao Cao knew that it would be meaningless to continue fighting, so he had to order the withdrawal of the camp.

"Please sue the lord, but I will be incompetent. He will break my eight-door golden lock formation."

After returning to the camp, Cao Ren apologized to Cao Cao with a bitter smile and helpless look on his face.

"What's going on? Didn't you say with confidence that you will definitely win this time? Why are you defeated so quickly now?"

Even if it fails, Cao Cao must understand the reason. At least he must avoid it next time. People cannot fall twice in the same place?

But Cao Ren shook his head and said, "It must be that someone on the other side understands the way to crack the formation."

"Hmph! I'm talking nonsense. I just want to ask you, who has such ability to crack your formation?"

"This is not clear to the last general." Cao Ren shook his head and said with a look of ashamed look on his face.

At this time, Zao Zhi, a native of Yingchuan, came forward and said, "Lord, the official just saw someone whispering in front of Liu He. The official happened to recognize him. It was Xu Shu of Yingchuan, whose courtesy name was Yuanzhi. I guess this person must be familiar with the method of breaking the formation, so he told Liu He."

"Oh? Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi? Who is this?" Cao Cao was shocked and asked hurriedly.

Zao Zhi said, "This man was young and fashionable, and was detained by the government because he accidentally injured someone. Later, he fled with the help of his friends. He was named Shan Fu and became a disciple of Sima Hui from Yingchuan. He achieved success in his studies. Later, he was recruited by Liu He and became a counselor under his command."

"This life is unique, but unfortunately it's not for me." Looking at Xu Shu beside Liu He, Cao Cao sighed a little.

"Actually, it is not impossible for the lord to recruit Xu Shu. The subordinates knew that Xu Shu was a filial man. Although his mother had already gone to Chang'an, she still had to go back to Yingchuan to worship Xu Shu's father every Qingming Festival. As long as we can intercept his mother at that time and persuade him to surrender to him through his mother's advice, we will have great confidence in recruiting him."

"Oh? There is such a thing? This is really great. Now that Qingming Festival is still one month away, I must act immediately." Cao Cao thought about it and ordered Cao Hong beside him: "Zi Lian, I will leave this matter to you. Be sure to find Xu Shu's mother on the Qingming Festival and invite her to Xu Du. As for other matters, I will handle it myself."

"No." Cao Hong agreed and immediately led dozens of soldiers to leave.

At this time, Cao Cao had greater worries, because today's battle formation failed, his morale in the army was even lower and his future was worrying.

So after that, Cao Cao was about to take the camp to defend the enemy to the death, confronting Liu He until the other party was exhausted and he had no choice but to retreat.
