Guo Rengui came to Li Xiao’s tent and asked, “Brother Li, where is the wine?”

Li Xiao said: "Don't you already know that there is no alcohol in the army. I'll ask you to help you if you have something to do, and you can come and see you."

As he said that, Li Xiao took out a military map and showed it to Guo Rengui. Guo Rengui took a look and saw that the location of the Sanling Army Dazhai on the map had been drawn, but there was no content inside.

Guo Rengui said: "Didn't you ask me to accompany you to visit the big village?"

Li Xiaogong bowed and said, "Brother Rengui, you guessed it right. Look how good and bright the moonlight is today. If you don't go to explore the village, wouldn't this moonlight be wasted?"

Guo Rengui said: "It's okay to go, but when you come back, you must invite me to drink. The birds have faded out of your mouth these days."

Li Xiao bowed again and said, "It must be sure, let's go, take out your Jiang Chuangyuan, fly, I'll draw."

Guo Rengui took out a Jingchuang kiln from the treasure bag, put it in the palm of his hand, chased the Jingchuang kiln with the other hand, threw Jingchuang kiln into the yard, and in an instant, it turned into a big bird. Guo Rengui and Li Xiao rode up, and Guo Rengui waved his hand, and Jingchuang kiln began to fly and flew straight to the Sanling Camp.

Li Xiao looked down from above and saw that the Sanling Camp was a hundred miles long and more than eighty miles wide, and consisted of five camps, divided into five directions: east, west, south, north and middle. The five elements were also called the five elements, east Jia and Yi wood, forty miles in the east, Geng and Xin metal in the west, forty miles, south Bing and Ding fire in the south, thirty miles, north Ren and Gui water, thirty miles, central Wu and Ji earth, twenty miles. The central army tent was located in the center of the central Wu and Ji earth.

Li Xiao asked Guo Rengui, "Do you understand the five elements?"

Guo Rengui said: "Why ask this?"

Li Xiao signaled Guo Rengui to look down. Guo Rengui took a breath of air and said, "We can't fight with our troops. The person who commanded the Three Spirit Army this time is called Xue Ji, right? This old boy is quite powerful. He set up the Five Elements Camp. Thanks to us coming to explore the enemy camp, otherwise there will be some small force here. Unless there are more than ten times their troops, you won't even think about it. I said that this old boy will not advance and wait for General Nanjuan."

Li Xiao did not understand the Five Elements or the Art of War. This time he led the army with his personal cultivation and courage. After hearing Guo Rengui say, he asked: "What do you mean? We can't fight, why should we wait for General Nan Juan?"

Guo Rengui explained: "This is the Five Elements Formation. With the troops of General Nan Juan, 400,000, it may not break the formation. If you divide the troops and fight, each direction of 100,000 will increase the troops to various directions, and the troops will be increased to various directions. If you attack the enemy and defend, you will not have a chance of victory. By the same token, concentrate your troops to attack one direction, and the troops in the other three directions can reach support within one incense stick of time. Even if you can break one direction, the enemy can quickly retreat to the Central Wu Ji Earth. With the defense of the Dazhai, I attack the enemy and defend, and I retreat to the enemy. Don't you understand the military strategy?"

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "I have never read a military book, so how can I get the military strategy?"

Guo Rengui said: "Then how can you lead the troops to capture Dongning and Shu County."

Li Xiao said: "By martial arts, isn't the five elements incompatible? Why do you need to set up the Five Elements array?"

Guo Rengui said: "The five elements are born together, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Is that impossible to fight? How to make the five elements incompatible?"

Guo Rengui thought for a while and said, "Unless there is a fight outside in the Central Wuji Earth, and there is someone outside fighting inside in other directions, the inside and the outside are in order to break the command of the Central Wuji Earth, there is no other way."

Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "Okay, since we are all here, let's fly down and I'll see the military deployment inside them."

Guo Rengui shook his head and said, "Don't fly down, I'll give you this, use this to see." He said that, and handed Li Xiao a bamboo tube.

Li Xiao held it in his hand and was an ordinary bamboo tube. He put it on his eyes and saw the Three Spirit Camp clearly. He felt like he was a thousand-mile-eyed person. Li Xiao praised: "What is this thing? It's so powerful. Brother Rengui, you are so talented. What is this thing called?"

Guo Rengui smiled and said, "These are all small studies. I call this myopia tube. It not only can see things that can be far away, but the most important thing is to see things that can be seen on the other side of the wall, hehe."

When Li Xiao heard Guo Rengui laughing, he asked, "What's on the other side of the wall? You won't use it to watch women take a bath."

"Hahaha, Li Xiao, who knows me, otherwise I will find it useful." After saying that, Guo Rengui burst into laughter.

Li Xiao made a record of all the five camps and said to Guo Rengui: "The East belongs to wood, right? According to the number of tents, there are about 50,000 spiritual troops. The defense is mainly deer antlers and wooden walls. The wall is full of stones. There are about twenty archers in the arrow tower. There are trenches under the wooden enclosure. There are sharpened wooden pillars in the trenches. There are trenches in the wall twenty trenches, and there are urns within one hundred trenches. There are archers in the city. There are archers in the East Camp without cavalry, and the defense is relatively weak. There are thirty thousand in the South Camp.

The Ling Army, deer antlers, wooden encirclements, trenches, arrow towers, catapults, and urns. There are 150 feet outside the camp, so large-scale attacks cannot be launched. The Beidaying has about 150,000 defenders, and its defense configuration is similar to that of the Southeast Camp, but it also has heavy attack equipment, including giants and giant beasts, and the Xidaying is similar to that of the Beidaying. This kind of defense is Chen Youguan's main force. Except for the wooden walls, the Central Army Camp has no other defenses, with less than 20,000 personnel. If we all enter the Central Army, we will definitely be able to wipe out the entire Ling Army."

After hearing this, Guo Rengui said, "You said it simply, how can you get in? Apart from flying in, there are only eight of us sitting now. We gritted our teeth and flew in for more than twenty people. Do you think there is a chance of winning against twenty and twenty thousand? Even if you are all masters, it is probably not enough to let the Han Won Emperor survive. I think your senior brother and Runfeng are right. If you can fight, don't fight before you can wait for your work. When these bastards are exhausted, they will naturally withdraw. How much do these big guys have to eat in a day? They have no food to eat, and they can't beat Chen Youguan. What else can they do?"

Li Xiao sighed and said, "As they are invading, they must consider the issue of food and grass. Zixuanguan is as solid as a soup and has not resisted for a day. If they break through Chen Youguan, where will the people in the pass retreat? What should the North do? The only way now is to fight these beasts back and attack them to Xuandaozhou, and never let them come out again. If we are defeated, these beasts will not leave any living."

Guo Rengui nodded and said, "You have finished reading it, let's go back first." Li Xiao agreed.
