Lin Xiao originally admired Xingzhe very much, because when Xingzhe led his troops to fight, although he always played cards out of common sense, he was able to win surprisingly every time.

"Although the Eight Array Diagram has been lost, there are still some famous experts who have studied it and can understand or come into contact with a little bit of the information of the Eight Array Diagram according to historical records and their own efforts. ”

Xingzhe looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief, since he watched the TV series "Eight Arrays of Gods and Ghosts", he had always wanted to see what the legendary Eight Arrays looked like.

"Do you know who has the Eight Array Diagram in their hands? I really want to see it, can I get it?"

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he was going to disappoint Xingzhe.

"The Eight Array Diagram can't be found, but Li Jing and Nezha father and son of the previous dynasty drew a Six Flower Array on the basis of the remnants of the Eight Array Diagram, and this can be found. ”

"Li Jing, Nezha, why do you feel a little jumpy, isn't this the crew of Nezha next door?"

Xingzhe blinked and asked with a puzzled expression.

Lin Xiao didn't know what was going on with Nezha's troubles, but when he looked at Xingzhe's speechless expression, he knew that Xingzhe didn't know anything about Li Jing and Nezha's father and son.

In fact, he is also very curious, Xingzhe sometimes seems to know everything and can do anything. Sometimes it seems that you don't know anything, you don't know anything.

Lin Xiao hesitated again and again, and finally explained the history of the Six Flowers Array, as if he were a teacher teaching students.

The main thing is that the incident between Emperor Taizu, that is, Qin Yu's grandfather's father and Li Jing, happened more than a hundred years ago.

First of all, Emperor Taizu asked: "The Yellow Emperor's art of war, later generations said that it was called "Grip Qi Wen", or "Grip Machine Text", how do you talk about this?"

Li Jing replied: "Qi, the pronunciation is machine, so it is also called Qi as machine, and their meaning is the same." According to the "Grip Qi Wen": "The four sides are the main soldiers, the four corners are the surprise soldiers, and the remaining forces in the center are the mobile troops controlled by the main general." ”

Fighters are ubiquitous on the battlefield, and it is correct to master the mobile force and use it to improvise, the regular soldier is usually the force used to carry out the general strategic intention of the king, and the surprise soldier is the force that the general uses flexibly according to the situation on the battlefield. "The Art of War" said that if a soldier can strictly obey orders, a soldier will develop the habit of obedience. This is a regular soldier who acts on the orders of the monarch.

The Art of War also says: "If the specific method of fighting with troops cannot be prescribed in advance, the monarch may refuse to carry out some orders." ”

This refers to the commander's response to the command and the act of opportunity. All generals who can only use the right and do not know how to use the strange are the conservative and sticky generals; those who only know how to use the strange but do not know how to use the right are the generals who are impatient and aggressive; and those who can use both the right and the strange are the good generals who assist the country. Therefore, mastering fighter planes and mastering mobile forces are inseparable methods, and the key lies in the learner's ability to integrate them.

Emperor Taizu asked: "The eight formations are divided into nine small phalanxes, the central formation is the remaining soldiers, commanded by the general himself, and the four corners of the four squares are all on par with the middle formation, the large array contains many small formations, and the large formation contains many small formations, the front formation can be the back formation, and the back formation can also be the front formation." Once the enemy enters this formation, the attack cannot quickly attack the general in the center, and it is very difficult to withdraw from this formation, and he is in a dilemma. The whole phalanx has four heads and eight tails, and whichever part is attacked, which part immediately becomes the head of the formation to meet the enemy. If the enemy rushes straight to the center general, then the head and tail of the phalanx can be rescued in an emergency. The predecessor of the Eight Formations was originally the Five Formations, and later Zhuge Liang evolved into eight, why is this?"

Li Jing replied: "Zhuge Liang once used stones to arrange vertically and horizontally into eight rows, the formation method of eight formations, just like the "Grip Text", I used to coach the formation of the troops, always taught this formation first, and now the "Grip Text" circulated in the world is very simple, just some approximate.

Emperor Taizu asked, "Heaven, Earth, Wind, Clouds, Dragons, Tigers, Birds, and Snakes, as the names of the Eight Formations, what do they mean?"

Li Jing replied: "This is where later generations are misunderstood in teaching. In order to keep the secret of this formation, the ancients deliberately put eight mysterious names on it, but in fact, the eight formations are a whole, specifically divided into eight parts. For example, heaven, earth, wind, and clouds were originally the names of several team flags, while dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes were just the differences in the sequence of each unit. Later generations did not know that the ancients were deceitful and misunderstood. Each large array and small array are named after various objects, but in fact, what about the above eight types?"

Emperor Taizu said: "The number of this array was initially five, and finally Zhuge Liang deduced it into eight, which is not simply a hypothetical object, but an ancient traditional system. Can you try to talk about that?"

Li Jing said: "The Yellow Emperor was the first to establish the law of Qiujing, and established the system of the art of war according to the law of Jingtian, there are four intersecting roads in the tic-tac-toe, which divide the army into eight phalanxes, and its shape is like a "well" character, which exactly divides the land into nine squares. Since the four corners of the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast are idle land, this is the origin of the so-called eight formations starting from the five formations. The central position was vacated, and the general commanded in the center, and the front and rear left and right plus four corners surrounded and connected in formation, forming eight formations. When the formation is exchanged to strike at the enemy, the troops are frequently maneuvering, waving flags, although the position is chaotic and fighting, it seems to be chaotic, but in fact the formation is not chaotic, the troops move like a river rushing, chaotic, chaotic, running and fighting, but the formation is round and the formation is not scattered. This is the so-called scattering into eight arrays, and the combination is actually a big array.

Emperor Taizu said: "Zhuge Liang once said: A well-trained army with strict military discipline cannot be defeated even if the generals are incompetent; What do you think?"

Li Jing said: "Zhuge Liang said these words because of feelings. "The Art of War" says: There is no discipline in training and education, the relationship between officers and soldiers is chaotic and tense, and the deployment of troops is chaotic and disorderly. The so-called lack of strict management education means that the training of the army did not follow the good practices of ancient times; the so-called chaotic and tense relations between officers and men mean that officers cannot establish prestige, and the so-called chaotic army leads to victory, which means that the army itself was defeated first, not that the enemy won the victory. Therefore, Zhuge Liang said: The army is well-trained and strictly disciplined, and even if it is commanded by a mediocre general, it will not lose the battle; if it does not fight and is in chaos, even if it is commanded by a virtuous general, danger will inevitably occur. "What's so suspicious about that?

Emperor Taizu: "It seems that whether education and training are obtained or not is indeed something that cannot be ignored." ”

Li Jing said: "If the teaching method is appropriate, the soldiers will be willing to obey orders, and if the teaching method is inappropriate, even if they keep urging and reprimanding in the morning and evening, it will certainly be of no avail." The reason why my Majesty and I have concentrated on compiling the formations and systems of the ancients for training troops one by one into a formation diagram is that I hope to train the troops into a division of moderation through these formations. ”

Emperor Taizu: "I have discussed the art of war with Li Ji, and most of his opinions are the same as yours, but Li Ji has not studied the source, what is the basis for the "Six Flowers Array" method you created?"

Li Jing replied: "My "Six Flower Arrays" is deduced from Zhuge Liang's "Eight Arrays" method. Its basic principle is that the large array contains the small array, the large camp contains the small battalion, the four corners of the four sides are connected to each other, and the twists and turns correspond to each other, Zhuge Liang's eight-array diagram was originally like this, and the six-flower array I created inherited this principle, so the outer six formations of my formation are presented as square, and the central military array inside is presented as a circle, because its overall shape is like a hexagonal petal, so it is commonly known as the six-flower array. ”

Emperor Taizu asked, "Why is this round inside and square outside?"

Li Jing: "The outer six formations are regular soldiers, so they are square, and the central military formation inside is a strange soldier, so they are circular." The square is used to define the scope of the battlefield, and the circle is used to connect the routes of the various parties. Therefore, the number of steps in the prescribed area of the battlefield should be as fixed as the earth, and the route of maneuvering should be as flexible as the movement of celestial bodies. The number of steps is fixed and the rotation is neat, so it is not easy to be confused in the change. The evolution from the Eight Arrays to the Six Flower Arrays is still based on Zhuge Liang's principle of arrangement. ”

Xingzhe was a little stunned when he heard it, he felt that Li Jing was really awesome, he was able to give birth to King Kong Barbie Nezha, and he also studied the military, a new male god.
