"But ......" The Storm Chaser looked confused, obviously not understanding what Li Xi meant at all, so he had to say: "What's the use of borrowing troops from the Terrans? How can the Terrans lend us troops? What's more, once they borrow troops from the Terrans, they will know even more that there are no soldiers among the Elves at this time, so wouldn't they want to attack the Elves even more? Not to mention, borrowing troops or not borrowing troops will not change the situation at all. ”

Li Xi heard this, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, although the elves have their minds, but the way of thinking is still too rigid, it seems that last time, although he gave them the Art of War, but really brought such a Art of War to study, I am afraid that there is not. AS FOR THE STORM CHASER, BECAUSE OF ITSELF, IT IS EQUIVALENT TO A LOGISTICS BUZHANG POSITION, AND IN THE CASE OF SELF-FEELING THAT IT IS USELESS, I AM AFRAID THAT IT IS EVEN MORE IMPOSSIBLE TO STUDY THE ART OF WAR.

With this time, he is more willing to study poetry, of course, the poetry of the elves, and the poetry of the world where Li Xi is located, is actually not quite the same, especially with the ancient poetry, which is fundamentally different. The ancient poetry of the world where Li Xi is located usually belongs to the lyrical type, and as for the poems of the chronicle or epic type, there are almost none.

Even if there is, they are all poems that belong to a small number of MINZU, and as for those related to mainstream history, at least Li Xi himself does not know.

And the poetry of the elves is obviously the same as the poetry of the Western world in the world in which they live, after all, the world background of the entire World of Warcraft. All are based on medieval Europe. So culturally above. Similar to medieval Europe, it did not surprise Li Xi at all.

The poems of the elves are basically epics belonging to the elves, and they basically record the stories of one or some heroes of the elves.

Therefore, it is better to say that these elves of the elf clan love literature, it is better to say that they love literature and history, after all, their literature. Basically, they are all closely related to their own history, and almost all of them are connected by their own history.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that the Storm Chaser is not interested in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Li Xi thought for a while before explaining to the other party: "Of course, it is impossible for Dalaran to borrow troops from the elves, as for borrowing troops, it is just an excuse, and it is also to arrange a suspicious plan. ”

"Suspicious tactics?" the Storm Chaser obviously couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Yes, it's a suspicious tactic. Li Xi nodded, "First of all, I proposed to the Terran envoy the idea of borrowing troops. Let the human envoy think that among the elves, there must be no soldiers. At least there is a shortage of troops. After that, take the Terran envoy to visit the elven camp, no matter what you visit, whether it is visiting the elf factory, the moon well, the ancient tree of life, or even the world tree. Whether it's the Fountain of Magic or the Fountain of Life, in short, it's to take the Terran envoy to visit. ”

"But......" the Storm Chaser objected again, "Li, what you said is an extremely precious secret of our elven clan, how can you let the human envoy know?"

"Alas!" Li Xi couldn't help but sigh, "So it's just a suspicious tactic, if you don't want to take the Terran envoys to visit these, just take them to visit something else, in short, you want to visit." The key is not to visit, the key is to arrange the suspicious plan at the same time as the visit. ”

"Oh!" the Storm Sunchaser seemed to understand, and looked at Li Xi suspiciously, waiting for him to explain.

Li Xi continued: "While visiting, in the surrounding woods, there is no harm in generating a large amount of cooking smoke to create movement, and at the same time, it deliberately covers up the traces, so that the human envoys think that in the woods, there are a large number of elves gathered. ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, the Storm Sunchaser suddenly understood, and figured out what Li Xi wanted to express, "Li, you mean, let me propose to the Terran envoy to borrow troops from Dalaran, whether the Terran envoy agrees or not, he will be suspicious, thinking that at this time, there are no soldiers among the elves. But then, when I visited, my arrangement was to make the human envoys think that what I said about borrowing soldiers just now was actually lying, and there were many soldiers in the elven clan at this time, but I didn't want them to know. deliberately hid the soldiers among the elves. Just ......"

Halfway through speaking, the Storm Chaser couldn't figure it out again, "It's just, even if it's arranged like this, what's the point, it seems that before this, there is no point in borrowing soldiers or not borrowing soldiers." ”

When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a headache, but he still patiently explained to the Storm Chaser, "Borrowing troops is just an excuse, and the plan of doubting soldiers can't just do this, and there must be a follow-up, so that Gianna can be suspicious and dare not attack the elven camp." ”

"Follow-up?" the Storm Chaser perked up, and then asked blankly, "What is it?"

Li Xi said: "Then it's simple, it's okay to send some elves, scatter, and gather in the woods near Dalaran, don't tell me that there are no woods near Dalaran." ”

"How is that possible?" said the Stormcatcher shook his head at once, "where there would be no woods, and how could there be beautiful scenery without trees?"

Li Xi agreed very much with such words, whether the scenery of a place is beautiful, the key is the tree, even if it is on the mountain, whether the scenery of a mountain is beautiful, the key is the tree, a bare mountain, there is no point in playing.

Only on one mountain, there are trees, even on the cliff, there is a pine tree that leans out of the cliff, and it still forms a beautiful scenery.

Therefore, to be like a beautiful landscape, there must be trees, as for the grassland, the simple treeless grassland, in fact, there is no scenery to see, at most look at the vast grassland, but since it is the same everywhere, it will inevitably become meaningless.

Only when there are trees, and at the same time there are many trees, it blocks people's view, causing a kind of winding path, and even in the end, they don't know what lies ahead, and they don't know where they will end up. It will make people interested in playing.

And this natural scenery at its finest. Because of the trees, of course. Pure stone formation. Although it can also create a winding effect, it is obviously not comparable to the scenery after planting some trees, or even far from being comparable.

Therefore, Dalaran of Gianna cannot be considered a beautiful city if there are no trees around it.

"That's right. Li Xi nodded and smiled: "Just let the elves reach the woods near Laran, deliberately show some whereabouts, and at the same time, make a fear of being known by others." In this way, Gianna must be suspicious. ”

"Suspicious of what?" asked the Storm Chaser subconsciously.

Li Xi smiled: "The suspicious elves want to attack Dalaran. ”

"What?" The Storm Chaser obviously couldn't keep up with Li Xi's thinking, and said strangely: "How is it possible for the suspicious elves to attack Dalaran?

"It doesn't matter if the elves have the ability to attack Dalaran or not. Li Xi shook his head and said, "The key is to convince Gianna that the elves plan to attack Dalaran. In this way, due to the previous suspicious tactics, the Terran envoy must think that the elves have a strong hidden force. I was worried about being known by myself, and then after I went back. Will definitely tell Gianna. And after Gianna heard the information brought back by the Terran envoy, she naturally wondered why the elves wanted to borrow troops from the Terrans. Of course, Gianna will definitely not lend troops to the elves, but she inevitably wonders why the elves want to borrow troops from the human race for no reason. Combined with the woods around Dalaran, there are traces of elves, and these elves, hiding their whereabouts for fear of being discovered, must have other plans. ”

Therefore, Gianna must suspect that the reason why the elves borrowed troops from Dalaran was actually a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, because the elves wanted to attack Dalaran, so they would borrow troops from her. In this way, the elves will naturally be safe. ”

After hearing this, the Storm Chaser couldn't help but be dumbfounded, obviously exclaiming, why Li Xi was able to think of so much, it was just a simple strategy, and he was able to stop Gianna from sending troops to attack the elven camp.

For a while, he stared at Li Xi, but he couldn't speak, and after a long time, he couldn't help but sigh, "Li, how can you think of so much at once?"

Li Xi smiled: "Storm, do you remember a book I brought to the elven clan before?"

"Books?" Li Xi didn't bring many books, so the Storm Chaser was only slightly stunned, and suddenly came back to his senses, and said, "Li, are you talking about the Art of War?"

"Yes, it's the Art of War. Li Xi said with a smile: "The strategy I told you just now is basically what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, if you have ever read the Art of War carefully, you don't need to say it, you can think of such a strategy yourself." ”

After a pause, he added: "In fact, the so-called art of war basically only has so many ways, and the purpose will not change, it is nothing more than to determine what your purpose is, and after determining your own purpose, you should think about what factors are needed to achieve this goal, and after determining what factors are needed, you can calculate what conditions you need to achieve these factors." In this way, the problem can be easily solved. For example, as I just said, letting Gianna withdraw from the army is obviously the ultimate goal, but if you want Gianna to withdraw from the army, you must achieve certain factors, under normal circumstances, Gianna will obviously not give up the plan to attack the elves, only under certain conditions, give Gianna a wrong message, let her think that the elves can't be defeated, and even attack the elves, which has a huge threat to herself, and after weighing the pros and cons, Gianna will give up attacking the elves. It's that simple. ”

Hearing this, the Storm Chaser couldn't help but ponder, and after a while, he said, "It seems that I really need to read that Art of War when I go back." ”

Before, although Li Xi gave the Art of War to the elves, there were obviously not many people who really had the heart to read it. Except for a few leaders, including the Panda Brewmaster, the Moon Maiden Priestess Tyrande, and the Prophet Malfario, the others were not interested at all.

However, if you want to be smarter, at least in front of others, to show yourself, is everyone's YUWANG. At this time, after listening to Li Xi's analysis, the storm chaser suddenly felt that if he could become such a wise man after reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, it would not be bad, and to some extent, it would be even more meaningful than studying poetry.

When you study poetry, after you study it, no one will necessarily read it, and even if someone reads it, in the end, others will read the poem, and what the person who wrote the poem wants to express. But in the end, poetry is just poetry after all, just like history cannot be regarded as science at all, and the study of this thing, in addition to being conducive to the spread of culture, actually has no practical significance, relatively speaking, the Art of War, at least in the current war, the study of the Art of War, is obviously much more practical.

When Li Xi heard this, his mood was inexplicably much better. To be honest, he doesn't think that elves like to study poetry and art, as a typical and paranoid science man, he has always thought that poetry, art, music, and dance, even if they can't be classified as LAJI, are dispensable.

Of course, these are obviously Li Xi's personal opinions, and they cannot represent everyone, as for whether it is right or not, it is just a matter of opinion between the benevolent and the wise.

But since you have this kind of thought, obviously, in your heart, you are very dissatisfied with the way of life of the elves.

It's just that, adhering to the principle of respecting the elves' own culture and not offending people, Li Xi naturally would never say such a thing.

Of course, on the other hand, even if he said it, these elves wouldn't take it seriously. The elves respect the beautiful life changes that Li Xi has brought to them, but they obviously can't accept some of Li Xi's values, and even in some ways, they are still contradictory.

I couldn't help but reach out and pat the shoulder of the Storm Catcher, and said with a smile: "Then I wish you a smooth study in advance, by the way, Storm, before that, you should prepare first, how should you welcome the Terran envoy sent by Gianna, if nothing else, I'm afraid that it won't be long before Gianna's envoy arrives."
