Chapter Ninety-One: One General Killed Three Armies Without Planning
β¦
The moment he saw Zhang Yu's corpse, Cai Yan, who had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but turn red in his eyes!
It's magnificent!
Zhang Yu had nearly 100 wounds all over his body, and there were more than a liter of arrows pulled from him!
Yang Weizhong, Wang Zongmi, and others beside Cai still saw Zhang Yu's corpse, and the people who saw Zhang Yu's corpse were all dissatisfied, and said with a solemn face: "True warriors! β
After the war, Cai still sent Li Wei back to Yangwu County to report the funeral to Zhang Lu's house, and Li Wei still sent a message to Zhang Lu's family on behalf of Cai, saying that Cai was still willing to accept Zhang Yu's two sons, Zhang Hu and Zhang Meng, as his adopted sons.
In addition to accepting Zhang Yu's two sons as his sons, Cai still accepted Wu Wei, the son of Wu Di, as his sons.
The other soldiers of the Jinwu Army who died in the battle, Cai still won the greatest pension for them, and in addition to the pension given by the imperial court, Cai still privately subsidized a large amount of pension for each of them.
As for the wounded soldiers, Cai still arranged all of them to the medical camp, and asked Wang Jixian and other doctors and nurses of the Jinwu Army to do their best to treat them.
Moreover, no matter how busy Cai is, he will take some time out every day to come and see them in person and see what they lack.
Cai is still so meticulous to the martyrs and disabled personnel of the Jinwu Army, which makes the soldiers of the Jinwu Army still more confident in Cai, and Cai's prestige in the Jinwu Army has become unshakable, and even, if Cai still stands up and shouts: "Who is willing to die for me." A large group of people will definitely stand up.
Cai still walked into the medical camp, everyone greeted Cai still salute, and Cai still stopped to chat with him whenever he met people.
It took more than an hour for Cai to come to the place he wanted to come to - Zhai Xing's ward.
Zhai Xing was also injured in this battle, and he was still seriously injured, and later Wang Jixian used the blood transfusion method passed on to him by Cai to save Zhai Xing by luck.
Although Zhai Xing is nearly fifty years old, he looks burly, not at all like a dying old man, after going to the battlefield, he is more heroic than a young man, and it can be said that he is not afraid of death.
People also know soldiers, have studied the art of war and tactics, and have a certain strategy.
In addition, Zhai Xing is kind to people, and there are a number of brave and warlike Zhai clansmen, so in the left camp, Zhai Xing's prestige is very high.
After comprehensive consideration, Cai still decided to let Zhai Xing replace Zhang Lu as the commander of the left battalion.
Of course, Cai still has this decision, largely because Zhai Xing and his brother Zhai Jin, as well as his family, are famous anti-gold generals and anti-gold families in history.
Historically.
After the disgrace of Jingkang, Xijing Luoyang fell into the hands of the Jin people.
In the special historical period when Zhao Gou ran south regardless of anything and finally established the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin'an, under the general situation that the main force of the Song Dynasty's army mainly used the strategy of defending the safety of the southern fleeing court, the Song royal mausoleum in the Central Plains and Gongxian County was also unable to protect. It disrupted the strategy of the Jin army to go south to eliminate the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, won precious time for the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, and made immortal achievements.
In order to fight against the Jin soldiers, tens of thousands of Zhai clansmen in Luonan sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, and wrote a tragic epic of defending Chinese civilization with their lives and blood.
Talents like Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and the Zhai family, such a family fell into the hands of Cai Ying, if Cai still doesn't reuse it, isn't it a fool?
Seeing that Cai was still here, Zhai Jin, who came to visit Zhai Xing, and Zhai Cong, the son of Zhai Xing, who took care of Zhai Xing, welcomed many Zhai children together.
After saluting Cai Ying and welcoming Cai Ying into Zhai Jin's ward, Zhai Jin looked at Zhai Xing and said to Cai Zhen: "Doctor Wang has already said that my brother's injury is no longer serious, and he will be able to heal after a few days. β
Cai still said: "I don't just look at your brother, but also look at other people. β
As he spoke, Cai still came to Zhai Xing's bedside.
Seeing this, Zhai Xing wanted to get up.
However, he was still stopped by Cai.
Cai still said: "Don't move, if the wound is involved, you will have to take some time to recover, but I am still waiting for you to help me rebuild the left camp." β
When Zhai Cong and the others heard it, they were overjoyed!
Cai Ying's words have already been said so bluntly, how could they not hear it, Cai is still preparing for Zhai Xing to take Zhang Yu's place?
However, at the same time, Zhai Cong and the others were a little worried!
Zhai Xing was seriously injured and couldn't speak, so Zhai Jin asked for Zhai Xing, Zhai Cong and others: "General, with the credit of my brother, it is still a little reluctant to serve as the head of the capital, and it is not ...... Not quite suitable? β
According to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, soldiers could be promoted from the Xiang army to the forbidden army, from the forbidden army to the upper army, and from the upper army to the pro-army of the emperor.
Those who have served in other military academies for a certain period of time or have made meritorious contributions to military academies can be transferred to fill their official posts, and this is also the first major hurdle for the promotion of military attachΓ©s.
From the section rank to the captain, it is equivalent to the promotion of non-commissioned officers in the army in later generations to cadres, and they are transferred from grinding and surveying to one or one capital.
Of course, according to the usual practice, those who have made military merits in the war will be given supplementary officers, and those who have military merits can even be counted at a time, or even more than ten dollars.
But this is only for those who have a back, like Cai Ying, they can be promoted thirteen times in a row because of their military exploits.
But for a person like Zhai Xing who has no back, he can only be promoted to seven times in a row at most.
Zhai Xing was born in the Xiang Army, although he has achieved the position of command, but the forbidden army is different from the Xiang Army, therefore, with Zhai Xing's resume, even if he adds the credit of seizing the door and killing the winged black tiger Lei Heng, it is barely enough for Zhai Xing to rise to the head of the capital, and it is not enough to be in charge of a commander in any case.
Not to mention Zhai Xing, even Zhai Jin, because he had a great time, he was not enough to be the head of the Jinwu Army.
It is precisely because of this that when Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin were poached by Cai still to take the position of Xu Yidu, the brothers were still worried and suspicious.
But Cai still only said one sentence at the time: "You do it first, and then make up a formal formality for meritorious service." β
Later, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin learned that they dared to be affectionate, in the Jinwu Army, Cai still wanted whoever to be an official, who could be an official, the level was not enough, it didn't matter, just owe it first, and slowly accumulate military merits.
In other words, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin are not an exception at all, but a common phenomenon in the Jinwu army.
Actually-
Cai still did this, and there was no way to do it - the Jinwu Army was formed from scratch and rose too fast, so it was natural that the rank of the officer could not keep up.
Therefore, Cai can only let some people do it first, and if the level is not enough, he owes it first.
And even if others are held accountable, it's okay, because Cai still claims to be temporary.
Only the people inside the Jin Wujun know that Cai is still arranged, so he counts, and Cai still says what kind of official you are, you are what kind of official.
Not only the official rank, but also the reward, as long as the person who has made the merit of the Jinwu Army has completed the assessment, Cai still feels that there is no problem and signs it, and this reward (all converted into military tickets) will be issued soon, and as long as you take the military tickets sent down to the Jinwu Army's money bank, you can exchange the military tickets for gold and silver at any time.
Of course, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin already knew about these secret things within the Jinwu Army.
But those are all low-level officers, commanding the first level, but they have already entered the rank (from the eighth grade, or even the eighth grade), do their generals dare to operate like this?
Cai still didn't care and said to Zhai Xing: "You do it first, and I'll talk about other things later." β
Cai still changed his tone and became very serious, and said: "This time, the left camp has been hit hard, and there are two or three out of ten, and after you recover, you must rebuild the left camp for me." β
As soon as Zhai Jin wanted to speak on behalf of Zhai Xing, Zhai Xing grabbed Zhai Jin's arm and prevented Zhai Jin from speaking on his behalf, and then Zhai Xing said in a very weak voice: "General...... The general can rest assured, in a few days...... A few days later, the general was discharged from the hospital to rebuild the left battalion for the general. β
Cai still stopped Zhai Xing and said: "Your first task now is to heal your injuries, let Zhai Jin help you do the rebuilding of the left battalion first, and I will let him be the deputy commander of the left battalion and be your deputy." β
"What?"
Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and others never thought that Cai would still be promoted to deputy commander.
You must know that Zhai Jin is not as great as Zhai Xing's military exploits in this battle, and the military exploits that Zhai Jin has established are not enough to cut off the previous imperial court's punishment of Zhai Jin, so Zhai Jin, like Zhai Xing, can barely sit in the first position, where is he qualified to be promoted to deputy commander?
What's more important is that Zhai Xing is the commander of the left battalion, Zhai Jin is the deputy commander of the left battalion, and there are a large number of Zhai clansmen in the left battalion, and the left battalion is almost all about to become their Zhai family, this kind of thing is unbearable for many people in power.
And yetβ
Cai still did this, and just handed over his left camp to their Zhai clan.
How can this not make Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and the Zhai clan grateful?
Zhai Xing struggled out of bed, but Cai still couldn't stop it.
Under the leadership of Zhai Xing, a room full of Zhai clan people bowed to Cai Ying.
Zhai Xing said loudly: "The Zhai family will be loyal to the general forever and never betray!" β
Zhai Jin led the other Zhai clan members and then said together: "The Zhai family will be loyal to the general forever and never betray!" β
Actually-
Cai still chose to hand over Zuoying to Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, which was also a helpless move.
The reason is naturally because Cai still has no generals in his hands who are more suitable than Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin to lead the left battalion.
In the end, the rise is too fast and the foundation is not enough, otherwise, Cai still will not use the reckless man Zhang Yu to lead the left camp.
In fact, Cai still saw Zhang Yu's problem a long time ago - whether he was brave or not strategic.
Although Zhang Yu and Niu Gao are both from the lowest level, their personalities are completely different.
Niu Gao is thick and fine, quite a general's style.
But Zhang Yu only has bravery, no strategy, the key is not to forge ahead, he has always been sloppy about the way Cai still taught him to lead troops.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yu took the lead in every battle and made a lot of meritorious contributions, and Cai still really had no available people in his hands, Cai still said that it would be impossible to hand over the left battalion to Zhang Yu.
Take Zhang Yu's last battle as an example.
A commander-in-chief did not sit in command, but took the lead in rushing forward bare-chested.
It's not that it's wrong to take the lead, it's that you have to find the right time to take the lead.
Besides, if you take the lead in the charge, you will take the lead in the charge, why do you take off your armor, you are me Cai Yi, your body is strong, and your self-healing power is amazing?
Please, you're just an ordinary person.
Take a step back and say, even if you are still the same as me Cai, and your body is also very perverted, then why can't you learn from me, when did you see me rushing shirtless, and when did I go to the battlefield when I wanted to arm myself to the teeth!
So, you're not just messing around.
If it weren't for Zhai Xing's general's style, he helped Zhang Lu restrain the army, reminded Zhang Lu to kill at the gate of the village in time, and finally took over Zhang Lu's position after Zhang Lu's death, commanded Zhang Lu in the center to help Zhang Lu clean up the mess, Zhang Lu died in vain this time.
In short, for Zhang Yu's death, Cai still has infinite regret, but also some hatred that iron does not become steel, and at the same time, Cai still feels sorry for the dead and wounded three or four hundred soldiers of the left battalion, "What a good soldier, loyal, dare to fight, not afraid of life and death, but unfortunately it was all in vain!" β
This incident also made Cai still completely see the fact that one general had no plan to exhaust the three armies.
This also made Cai still pay more attention to the training of officers, and Cai still even ended teaching Yue Fei and Li Bao in person ahead of schedule, and sent Yue Fei and Li Bao to the right battalion to serve as the head of each capital.
"In the old calendar, in the second year of Song Xuanhe, Huang Hui and Yao Gao, the head of the right battalion, died in battle, the emperor was a marshal, Li Bao was full, and everyone persuaded him to be young and had no experience in leading troops, and the emperor was the one who said: "Pengju, the general!" And so it goes. - "Zhong Ji", Yue Fei's biography.
