Chapter 748: Bai Qi vs Yuntai Twenty-Eight Generals

Why is the reputation of the 28th General of Yuntai so low?

The military exploits and literary merits of the 28 generals of Yuntai are still much worse than those of the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty" and "Twenty-four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion", of course, this is not that they are not capable, but that they have no opportunity to play.

In the process of unifying the world, the opponent of the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty" was an immortal general like Xiang Yu, and the opponent of the "Lingyan Pavilion Heroes" was Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other heroes.

The opponents of the "Yuntai Twenty-Eight Generals" are Zhang Bu, Gongsun Shu, Red Eyebrows, Green Forest and other characters with insufficient ability, and the victory is already doomed, so it is difficult to fully show the ability of the "Twenty-Eight Generals", and future generations do not like such a story that lacks suspense.

After the unification of the world, Liu Xiu "retired from the heroes and entered the civil servants", Confucianism took power, and the "twenty-eight generals" also withdrew from the historical stage, such as Feng Yi, Kou Xun, etc., all have the talent of prime ministers, but there is no room to play.

And heroes like Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and other heroes can continue to participate in court politics after the reunification of the world, which increases the opportunity to increase their popularity.

After the unification of the world, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, etc., sent generals to conquer foreign tribes, such as Li Jing's extermination of the Turks, which also increased the popularity of the heroes.

And after Liu Xiu unified the world, he cultivated martial arts and did not fight lightly, and the heroes had no chance to fight, so there was no way to improve their reputation.

The "28 generals of the PTZ" also lacked "explosive" incidents.

There are many incidents of rebellion by heroes in history, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang have also killed heroes, but the "28 generals of Yuntai" are very loyal and have no rebellion.

Liu Xiu is also very benevolent and did not kill a hero. In this way, there is a lot less topicality.

In fact, throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, except for the Three Kingdoms period, there was a lack of famous figures.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was the most prosperous era of Confucianism in history, and it was not easy to produce interesting characters if there was a lack of unity and conservatism in thought.

Of course, although the 28th General of Yuntai is not famous, his ability is no worse than that of the elites of any period.

Take Zhu, who has died in battle, if he hadn't been lucky enough to bump into Li Cunxiao's hands, with his strength close to the peak of the super-first-class, he would not have been able to enter the list of generals in the future.

In the last balance, Liu Xiu was born with 15 people alone, except for Yin Lihua, the remaining 14 people belonged to the 28 generals of Yuntai.

Among these 14 people, except for Jia Fu under Dong Zhuo and Zhu who died in battle, the remaining 12 people are now under Liu Xiu's command.

They are: Deng Yu, Wu Han, Geng, Kou Xun, Cen Peng, Feng Yi, Xi Zun, Jing Dan, Gai Yan, Jian Rong, Geng Chun, and Zang Gong

Liu Xiu knew very well the strength of the generals under Qin Hao's command, but he still dared to fight with Bai Qi, and this confidence came from the ability of the generals under his command. However, Zhu was killed by Li Cunxiao instantly, but Liu Xiu couldn't help but be shaken.

Although Zhu is not the strongest general under Liu Xiu, he is also one of the strongest ones, but in the hands of Li Cunxiao, he did not even hold a round, which made Liu Xiu have to admit that he was indeed inferior to the Qin army in terms of generals.

"The Qin army has peerless generals like Li Cunxiao, so they must not fight in a decisive battle." Liu Xiu said secretly in his heart.

In the war of more than 100,000 people, except for the perversion of Li Yuanba, even Xiang Yu's personal role is not obvious.

Liu Xiu was not ready to fight generals, which was the wisest decision for the coalition forces, and directly sealed the advantage of the Qin army's generals Wu Yong.

"As long as we don't fight generals, the Qin army will not be able to hit the morale of our army, and at that time, with the numerical advantage of our army, we can drag the Qin army to death."

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but look forward to Bai Qi's arrival in his heart, and he was full of confidence in the victory of this battle.

"Bai Qi said that the time and place of the decisive battle are determined by him, and our coalition army has already promised him, but why hasn't he come yet?" Huang Zu said impatiently.

Liu Xiu was also afraid that Bai Qi would cheat, so he deliberately surveyed the decisive battle site several times and made sure that there were no problems before he dared to agree.

The place of the decisive battle is twenty miles away from Yicheng, it is a place where a horse and a flat river are located, and it is impossible to set up an ambush, which is indeed a fair place for both sides to fight a decisive battle.

After the better time for the decisive battle, Liu Xiu ordered Wei Wentong to lead 5,000 troops to continue to besiege Yicheng, while he led 80,000 troops in advance and waited for a decisive battle with Bai Qi's 30,000 army.

Liu Xiu looked at the sun above his eyes, frowned, and said, "Wait a minute, it should be coming soon, Bai Qi doesn't need to cheat in this regard." ”

"Report ...... The army of Bai Qi has left the camp and is rushing towards our army. ”

The princes' faces were a little better when they heard this, after all, they also asked to come in advance, but who knew that it would be cloudy for several days, but today it turned sunny, just standing in the sun and exposing themselves, I am afraid that no one will be happy.

"Report ...... Bai Qi's army was less than ten miles away from our army. ”

"Report ...... Bai Qi's army was less than five miles away from our army. ”

"Report ...... Bai Qi's army was less than two miles away from our army. ”

When Bai Qi's army arrived at the battlefield, it was already Shenshi, and Bai Qi was stunned for a few hours, and the 80,000 allied troops in Jingzhou also 'waited' for Bai Qi's army for several hours under the sun.

On such a hot day, it is impossible for anyone not to sweat after being exposed to the sun for a few hours, but the coalition forces are not sweating as expected.

Seeing this, Li Cunxiao asked with a puzzled expression: "General Bai, the enemy army doesn't seem to be as tired as he imagined?" ”

A hint of understanding flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and he said lightly: "Liu Xiu should have divided the army into three groups, one group to warn the other two clans to rest, so as to preserve physical strength as much as possible." ”

"Is our exhausting plan a failure?" Ran Min asked.

"Nope."

Bai Qi shook his head and sneered: "It still has an effect, in addition, although Liu Xiu has seen through the general's tired strategy, but he has not seen through another layer of intentions, the real intention of the general's choice to fight a decisive battle here, you will know in a moment." ”

At this moment, a horse quickly rushed to the front of the battle and shouted: "My general has invited General Bai Qi to meet in front of the battle." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Qi, and Zhou Yu asked, "General, do you want to go?" ”

"Go, of course go, if I don't go, I won't lose to Liu Xiu in terms of momentum." Bai Qi sneered.

"Bai Qi, Ran Min, the two of you will go with the general, and the rest of the people will do their own duties."

"No."

When Bai Qi arrived in the formation with Li Cunxiao and Ran Min, Liu Xiu had already waited here with the twelve generals of Yuntai, but Liu Xiu's face was not good, and he kept looking at Bai Qi with a gloomy face.
