Chapter 140: Enough Blood
On the fifth day of August in the first year of King Shu Han, there are only ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes reunion.
When the dawn of the morning illuminated the earth, Chen Zhishen, the forward of Li Xinchen's department, accepted the surrender of Chen Shuxian, the king of Nanchen Hedong, as the commander of this battle, Chen Shuying, the king of Nanchen Yuzhang, left a suicide note the night before, hoping that Li Xinchen could treat his subordinates and people well, and then walked up the hill on the north side of the camp to face Jiankang Mansion and waved his sword to kill himself.
When Chen Shujian died, Chen Shuying took on the war on the Western Front, and now there is no need for this big war to continue, so Chen Shuying apologized for his own crimes, which is equivalent to assuming the responsibility for this big war.
On the same day, the headquarters of Jiang General Office, which was located in the rear of Chen Shuying's camp, collapsed without a fight, and Jiang General abandoned the army and fled and retreated to Jiankang.
"See Your Highness!" Chen Zhishen and others, who arrived first, gave up their hands at the same time.
Li Xinchen took a deep breath and strode into Chen Shuying's Chinese army tent.
Chen Shuxian, who had already taken off his armor and blade, was kneeling in the middle of the camp tent, with Chen Shuying's handsome seal on the tray in his hand.
Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to take the handsome seal that symbolized the commander of Nan Chen's western region, and said lightly: "Get up, if you really count you, you should still be the eldest brother of this king." โ
Chen Shuxian got up silently, obviously Li Xinchen's joke didn't make him feel ridiculous.
And Li Xinchen looked at Chen Shuxian with some emotion. History still changed after all, it should have been Chen Shuying who led the army to surrender, and it was in the absence of much fighting, but Chen Shujian's death stimulated Chen Shuying after all, making the three princes fight twice in a row, and in the end, he was martyred to the death.
"In this battle, enough people have died on both sides of us, and this court, as you can see, is no longer worthy of anyone's allegiance," Li Xinchen's voice was much higher, he was saying to Chen Shuxian, to the generals behind him, and even to the soldiers outside the camp, "The times have changed, and the responsibility for a better life falls on our shoulders." โ
"What's the use of saying that?" Chen Shuxian lowered his head.
There is no resurrection from the dead.
"X will not answer your question," Li Xinchen waved his hand, "X will not imprison or abuse the descendants of the Chen family, after all, the fault is not you, but the person sitting on the throne." A certain can give you two choices, one is to go to the local place to serve as a guard, and the other is to go to the academy in Shuzhong to teach, the king of Hedong is also a famous and intelligent person, and he is a talented person. โ
Chen Shuxian raised his head again in some surprise: "Youยทยทยทยทยทยท Leave me alone? โ
Li Xinchen chuckled: "Well, Chengdu Academy has begun to set up a school on marching formations, which is specially used to train generals, I wonder if the King of Hedong is interested in learning about it first?" โ
After hesitating for a moment, Uncle Chen bowed slightly: "Okay." โ
He was originally a general in the army, and if he really went to be a party guard, he was really worried about his ability, but this teaching thing was still more than enough, and this could also make him far away from the imperial court.
He no longer has the strength to get involved in this dispute in the court, and as a remnant of the former dynasty who is about to be doomed, of course, the less conspicuous he is, the better.
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, watching Uncle Chen retreat, and then shifted his gaze to Pei Zilie and the others. And Chen Zhishen couldn't help but say at this time: "Your Highness, do we really want to let Uncle Chen go?" This man led his army in the past few days of fighting, but he did not cause us many casualties, and the brothers hated him so much. โ
Li Xinchen raised his head and said coldly: "In this battle, there has been enough bloodshed. And every man is his own master, and there is nothing to say. Instead of trying to get revenge on him, you should consider why so many people died in battle. Chen Shuxian arranged the defense line, a certain has been seen when he came, crossbowmen, sword and shield hands and spearmen cooperate layer by layer, the trench has a forward extension, there is a depth, and the arrangement of the deer and the horse is also very ingenious, many of our people died in the process of moving the deer. This is a lesson you should learn, and you should sum it up! โ
Chen Zhishen and the others didn't dare to say more, and Li Xinchen's voice did not soften: "Most of us are from the Chen army, and we are very clear about the Chen army's army and the arrangement, the morale of the enemy in this battle is low, and we are still fighting like this, you should reflect and reflect, otherwise why will we go on the Northern Expedition in the future?" If you really have the heart, you should go and ask Uncle Chen for advice at this time, instead of complaining here, and even want to kill him! โ
Chen Zhishen and the others reluctantly retreated, leaving only Pei Zilie himself still in the camp, and he said helplessly: "Your Highness, this battle is limited by terrain, and it is already higher than we expected to fight like this." โ
Li Xinchen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I know." โ
"That?"
"But have you ever thought about why we were defeated in Luliang in the first place?" Li Xinchen knocked on the table and said, "Although our expectations are not high, although our troops are sufficient, but in the end we are still defeated, if it is not for the timely retreat, I am afraid that this army will really be buried in Luliang!" โ
Pei Zilie sighed, of course he had considered this question: "Compared with the generals in the north, our generals still lack actual combat experience, the Zhou people at that time have been fighting with the Qi people for more than ten years, and in these ten years, we have not encountered any major battles at all except for the Huajiao Rebellion. When Sikong attacked Huainan, it was actually because the Qi people lacked national strength and had to retreat in order to ensure the war on the front line of Luoyang in the north. โ
After a pause, Pei Zilie then said: "Except for the generals, our equipment is almost the same as the enemy, but we don't have enough cavalry, so we can only rely on a fierce general like General Xiao to lead a small team of men and horses to charge the enemy's central army, in order to be able to win by surprise." And the total number of our soldiers and horses is also different from that of the enemy, after all, this land south of the Yangtze River is not as densely populated as the Central Plains. โ
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, Pei Zilie was not much different from what he thought, Nan Chen actually had not many other advantages at all except for a certain first-mover advantage. When the Northern Zhou army continued to drive over, Wu Mingche could only choose to retreat at that time.
In terms of the experience of the generals, the number of soldiers and horses, etc., Nan Chen really did not have an advantage at that time, and now, a few years later, is he really dominant? You must know that the fighting in the north has never stopped.
Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "Now that we use streamlined production, we can already maintain a greater advantage in equipment and sailors, and as the civil strife in the north lasts, their population advantage will become lower and lower, so now the only thing left is our general gap." โ
