Chapter 495 Confucian General Style
Kong Rong took the letter, and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, this is a problem for us, using Xuzhou to attack Shouchun and behead Yuan Shu in front of the holy case, do you think this matter is feasible?"
"This plan is naturally feasible, but there are two keys, one is to borrow Xuzhou, and the other is the white-robed army!" Yu Yunwen pondered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kong Rong looked at Chen Qingzhi and asked, "General Chen, your white-robed army has not been formed for a long time, can you join this battle?"
Chen Qingzhi replied: "My white-robed army has been formed, of which 3,000 are composed of the original Youzhou Xiandeng, and the other 5,000 are also the heroes of the four cottages obtained by the bandits, and they are all capable of fighting well. Besides, sending troops to Shouchun is at least next year, and there will be at least four or five months to prepare. During this time, I can make the combat effectiveness of the white-robed army rise to a higher level, and when the time comes, it will definitely be invincible to attack Yuan Shu! It's just that the matter of Xuzhou needs to be very hidden and not leaked out, and it is necessary to discuss it with Tao Qian, I want to train soldiers and horses without myself, and I am afraid that only Yu Junshi will go to lobby Tao Qian. ”
Yu Yunwen nodded and said: "This letter is a death order issued by His Majesty, and I should worry about it as a courtier, and as long as this strategy is implemented in concealment, I am seven points sure that it can be successful." And the battlefield opportunity is fleeting, where can we be very sure? Even if you have a little certainty, you have to give it a try, and I will secretly set off tomorrow to ask for Xuzhou Tao Qian, stating that I will definitely finish this matter by borrowing the way! ”
Chen Qingzhi nodded when he heard this: "Yunwen is right, Your Majesty treats me like a mountain, I should repay me with death, even if I let me go to assassinate Yuan Shu, I am willing!"
Seeing that Chen Qingzhi and Yu Yunwen were resolute, Kong Rong said: "Since the two of you think this plan is feasible, I will do my best to help the two." From today onwards, Qingzhou's resources are tilted towards the white-robed army, and General Chen must train the white-robed army well! ”
"Don't worry!" Chen Qingzhi arched his hand and said, "In addition, I want to ask the assassin for someone to help me train the army!"
"Oh? Who do you want? If you weren't General Lin Renzhao, you could rely on you! Kong Rong smiled.
"I want one of General Qin Qiongqin and General Luo Shixin, my white-robed army, most of which are composed of heroes from the green forest. And the two of them are from the Green Forest heroes, if they can help me train the white-robed army, they can quickly enforce the ban! Chen Qingzhi explained.
Kong Rong stroked his beard and said: "Now that Yuan Shao has withdrawn from the army, sit and watch the success or failure of Yuan Shu, there is no big war in Qingzhou, I will send both of them to your command to help you!" In the future, attack Shouchun, and let them be your lieutenant generals to go on the expedition together. ”
Chen Qingzhi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Thorn Shi, with the help of the two of them, this matter will be the majority!"
The matter of the surprise attack on Shouchun was agreed, and Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed army to actively train, and Yu Yunwen personally went to Xuzhou to facilitate the borrowing of the road.
The white-robed army camp was built outside the city of Xixian County, and Chen Qingzhi got Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, so he rushed to the military camp with the two. On the way, Luo Shixin said happily: "The last time I attacked Yuan Shao, General Chen was like a god, and I hoped to listen to General Chen's orders, but now my dream has come true." It's just that I don't know who to hit this time? Thorn Shi actually transferred both of my brothers to your command? ”
Luo Shixin was convinced of Chen Qingzhi, not to mention that Chen Qingzhi's breakthrough in martial arts opened Luo Shixin's eyes, that is, the battle of Yuan Shao, Chen Qingzhi offered a plan to break the enemy, and then commanded the soldiers and horses to fight, these things made Luo Shixin happy and convinced of Chen Qingzhi.
And although Qin Qiong did not worship Chen Qingzhi like Luo Shixin, he knew in his heart that the young man in front of him who was as literate as a scholar was definitely not as simple as a scholar, but a Confucian general.
Scholars are rhetorical and have no actual combat experience when talking about soldiers on paper, while Confucian generals are strategists, well-versed in military affairs, good at studying the overall situation, aware of the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us, and use intelligence to promote their strengths and avoid weaknesses and achieve victory.
This kind of person is not terrible on the surface, but if you despise it, then you will go to perdition before you know it.
In the Three Kingdoms, there are two very famous Confucian generals, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, one defeated the scheming Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, and the other defeated the experienced Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling. It is not by personal bravery, but by scheming and wisdom to win by war.
Most of the Confucian generals used their troops to study the character of their opponents, to find out the weaknesses of both the enemy and us, and to create opportunities to find fighters in view of the defects in the enemy's character. Chen Qingzhi fought Yuan Shao's battle of Qingzhou, Zhou Yu's battle of Chibi, and Lu Xun's battle of Yiling.
After listening to Luo Shixin's inquiry, Chen Qingzhi shook his head and said: "This matter is very important, except for me and the military advisor, the assassin knows it, no one can say it, I'm sorry."
Luo Shixin didn't care, scratched his head and said, "Since it's important, then I won't ask." But what do you want us to do for you? ”
Chen Qingzhi explained: "In terms of strategizing, you are not as good as me, but I am not as good as you in the charge, now my white-robed army will have a big battle soon, but the white-robed army has just formed an army, and the combat effectiveness is not high, I can teach them how to march and set up formations, how to line up to resist the enemy, but I can't teach them their personal bravery, so I want two generals to assist me." And when the time comes, you two will go with me. ”
"This is a matter of duty, the general can rest assured, but in March, I will train them like wolves!" Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin patted their chests and said.
"It's going to be hard for the two of you during this time, and I decided to train one day at a time, rain or shine!" Chen Qingzhi said with a solemn face.
"One training a day...... Now my Han soldiers and horses are also trained every three days, and the daily training was only used by His Majesty when he was in the state, but soon after the soldiers couldn't stand it and abolished it again, and it was His Majesty's personal participation in the training that allowed the soldiers to support it. Luo Shixin was surprised, and Qin Qiong was also full of surprise, what kind of war was so urgent, which actually made Chen Qingzhi move the idea of one training a day.
Chen Qingzhi: "I have my own way to get them to agree!" You don't have to worry. ”
While speaking, the three of them had already entered the barracks, and Chen Qingzhi immediately came to the point of the general platform and beat the drums to gather the soldiers. However, after a while, the 8,000 white-robed soldiers all came to the stage and lined up, and the 8,000 soldiers were all dressed in white armor and had excellent weapons and fighting equipment.
The formation was quickly arranged, and it has been half a year since the white-robed army was formed, although it was born from Qingzhou Green Forest Haojie and Xiandeng Battalion, it was also able to do the order and prohibit, and Chen Qingzhi made these people convinced from the beginning of attacking the cottage and recovering the heroes. It's just that Chen Qingzhi knows that the current mixed army is not as elite as Lin Renzhao, Lin Chong and others who have been trained for many years.
The task of the white-robed army's surprise attack on Shouchun was arduous, and Chen Qingzhi knew that he would not only have to deal with Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, but also Sun Zhao's soldiers and horses. How could they let the fruits of their hard work for most of the year be taken away by Chen Qingzhi? It's easy to deal with Yuan Shu, it's hard to deal with Yanzhou soldiers, and it's difficult to deal with Jiangdong soldiers! This is the real reason why Chen Qingzhi wants to seize the time to train.
Chen Qingzhi stood on the high platform and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, my white-robed army has received an important task, at most five months, after five months, the soldiers and horses will have to march, this trip will be very dangerous, and even the whole army may be wiped out, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" The white-robed army immediately shouted, and the soldiers were excited, and they were not afraid of death.
"You're not afraid, I'm afraid!" Chen Qingzhi changed his words.
The soldiers suddenly showed disdain, Qin Qiong, and Luo Shixin were also puzzled, Chen Qingzhi said: "What I am afraid of is not death, but I am afraid that you will lose your lives on the battlefield, and what I am afraid of is seeing your parents, wives and children when they learn that you have lost your lives."
"As a general, we must not only consider how to win, but also how to save you, and have the obligation to bring you back alive and sound. But this battle is so dangerous that I am not sure that I will be able to bring you back alive and safe. If you're scared, you can quit the White Robe Army now and join other armies! ”
After Chen Qingzhi finished speaking, he looked at the army on the battlefield, and the army whispered for a while, but no one came out. This army is composed of the first camp and the heroes of Qingzhou, the first camp can be said to be a veteran, participated in the battle of Yuan Shao's invasion of Youzhou, and these heroes of the green forest in Qingzhou are not greedy for life and afraid of death.
Seeing that no one came out of the battle, Chen Qingzhi smiled and said, "I am honored to be born and die with you!" But I know very well that your ability is far from being invincible in this battle, and the time is pressing, only five months at most, so I have decided to implement a military system of one training per day during this time, with one day off every seven days, rain or shine, only one month in the cold winter, and one training every three days! ”
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers resisted, and a soldier said in a loud voice: "General, I know you want to bring us back alive, but one day and one training, we can't hold on, I'm afraid that before the war, our own bodies will collapse!"
Chen Qingzhi: "I know that this military regulation is harsh, you don't have to worry, Lord Assassin Shi will fully cooperate with me, the army will prepare a military doctor to take care of your body, and meals and meat will always be provided to you during this training period!" And Ben and I, too, will train with you! ”
"There is plenty of meat, food, these are enough to support our daily training, and there are military doctors to take care of us, in order to successfully come back alive, we agreed to the daily training, but the general is thin and weak, I am afraid that I can't hold on to the daily training, and the general doesn't have to set an example to train with us." When Chen Qingzhi explained the reason, these soldiers also rejected Chen Qingzhi's proposal to set an example.
Chen Qingzhi shook his head and said: "I have made up my mind, you will endure hardships, I will not watch it, from today on, I will train with you, but I will still have to deal with military affairs, and I can only train for half a day every day!"
Since the formation of the white-robed army, in order to serve the public, Chen Qingzhi has formulated many military regulations, and he has always led by example. Now, with sufficient food and meat to supplement the consumption of training, none of the white-robed soldiers flinched, and they all agreed to one training a day.
At that moment, Chen Qingzhi dismissed the white-robed army and returned to the camp to discuss with Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and formulate a training plan. Such as horseback riding, archery, assassination, formation, coordination between various military branches, and daily work and rest time, are all thoughtful.
On the second day, the white-robed army began a daily training, and Chen Qingzhi did not tell the truth, and joined the training by example. If you want the soldiers and horses to be obedient, it's actually very easy, just set an example, if you violate the rules you have made, you will naturally not be able to convince the public.
It's just that Chen Qingzhi's body, it is difficult to lead by example, after the first day of high-intensity training, Chen Qingzhi's fragile body is overwhelmed, his muscles are sore, and it is difficult to walk.
That night, Chen Qingzhi was lying on the bed in the barracks, his thighs were worn out because of the cavalry, and the military doctor gave him medicine. The military doctor advised: "General, your body is weak, if you want to train, you must take it step by step, don't be in a hurry, those military advisors are like wolves and tigers can persevere, but if you continue like this, I am afraid that you will be tired."
"Your Majesty treats me like a mountain, I should repay me with death, the physical exhaustion, where can I compare to the bloody battle of the soldiers. If this battle can be successful and return safely with the white-robed army, I will be willing to die! Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth and said.
Qin Qiong on the side sighed and said, "Since the soldiers are very cooperative now? The general can rest properly, it does not have to be. ”
Chen Qingzhi shook his head and said: "The rules I have formulated must not be reversed, if I don't train tomorrow, the soldiers will definitely be passive and sluggish." After a month, daily training becomes a habit and I will reduce the intensity of my training appropriately. What's more, I am so weak, when the time comes, I can't run on foot, I can't ride, how can I command the battle? ”
