Chapter 525: I beheaded you to the sacrificial flag

When Tong Guan and Cai Yu were in Cangzhou, it was already after the fifteenth day of the first month.

Zheng Zhi entertained the two in the Jingluo Mansion, and above the banquet, Tong Guan was the first, Cai You was on the left, and Zheng Zhi was on the right.

After chatting, there were a few glasses of wine, only to hear Zheng Zhi speak: "Enxiang, the army was preparing for the review a few days ago, but I heard that Enxiang was coming, so I delayed the review for a few days, just wait for Enxiang to arrive in Cangzhou, and tomorrow I will gather the colonel and invite Enxiang to come in person." ”

Zheng Zhi spoke, seeing that he didn't look at Cai You, Cai You could bear it at this time, and he didn't ask too much, just waiting for himself to go to the river to show his strength.

"Okay, tomorrow let's see the strong soldiers you trained. It also gave Mr. Cai insight and insight. Tong Guan responded, and also wanted to see what Zheng Zhi had trained the soldiers to.

When Cai You heard this, he said: "Now that I am in the Great Song Dynasty, the people are rich, the Taixia is peaceful, and the military salary is sufficient, Zheng Jingluo is naturally not a problem to train the army, and I will see and learn with Master Tong tomorrow." ”

In front of Zheng Zhi, Cai You naturally has a kind of high taste. It's just that Cai You, a scholar of Longtuge University, naturally knows in his heart that most of the military salaries in the north were prepared by Zheng Zhi himself. But it is said that the military salary is sufficient, and I don't know what the psychology is.

may be alluding to Zheng Zhi's army snatching money and grain from the state capital, and it is probably also alluding to Zheng Zhi's fortune in the name of military salary. Tomorrow, I want to see if Zheng Zhi really spent all this money on the soldiers.

Zheng Zhi probably understood a little, pretending not to understand, and only said: "I heard that Master Cai is a scholar of Longtuge University, and he has both the background of Jinshi given by the official family, and the origin of Master Cai's family. It's just that I've never heard of Mr. Cai's masterpiece, it's a pity, today for wine, I don't know if Mr. Cai has Yaxing? ”

Zheng Zhi obviously knew what kind of character Cai You was, and as soon as the words came out, Tong Guan also smiled slightly, and answered: "That's right, Master Cai, please!" We waited for the support, and also contributed to a few songs, setting off the work of the bachelor. ”

Longtu Pavilion, that is, the Royal Library. Those who can become scholars of Longtuge University are all people with profound literary background. Cai You is an exception, even Cai Jing is also a person who is handy with poetry, calligraphy and painting, and it is far from being able to have a son.

Zheng Zhi wanted to embarrass Cai You, although the method was relatively simple and straightforward, but Tong Guan also spoke to cooperate.

Cai You was naturally embarrassed, and was inexplicably a little nervous in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to shirk, looking up and looking left and right, but he didn't shirk again, in the full hall, there were mostly martial artists, that is, Tong Guan Zheng Zhi, and he was not born as a literati, but it gave Cai You some confidence. With Cai You's talent, he naturally didn't dare to fool in front of Zhao Ji and others, so he could only say more to praise others' masterpieces. In front of these people today, Cai You didn't shirk it, but said: "Okay, let me think about it for a moment." ”

It is also rare for Cai You to have such a scene for a few days, usually in front of those literati, and can only praise others to make others happy. Today, Cai You obviously also listened to the praise of others.

Zheng Zhi didn't say much, raised the wine glass and drank with Tong Guan, waiting for good news.

Cai You held back for a long time, but when he saw that he was waiting for his poems left and right, he was also a little embarrassed, and said: "The vast snow is flying, and Hu Tianzhan is in a hurry. I don't see the green pines. . . Ten thousand. But listen to the north wind ... North wind... ”

Cai You's words were fragmented, obviously because the manuscript was incomplete.

Zheng Zhi saw Cai You's thoughtful appearance, waited for a while, still didn't follow, and shouted: "Okay, good words!" Mr. Cai is really extraordinary, and today's poem will surely be remembered through the ages. Someone came, record the poem of Master Cai, print and distribute 10,000 copies tomorrow to the soldiers, and let the soldiers know the style of Master Cai. ”

Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward from behind, took out a pen and paper and wrote.

Cai You hurriedly said: "Eh, Zheng Jingluo, this word is not finished yet." Treat me ... Tomorrow... Fill in the first word. ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he laughed and said: "Bachelor Cai's half-poem today, it has been shocked by heaven, it is actually the first person in ancient and modern times, this word will not be spread all over Hebei in two days, and let Hebei literati know Bachelor Cai's attainments in words and writings." ”

Wu Yongyan heard that he didn't need Zheng Zhi's instructions, and after recording the words, he turned his head and went down.

Cai You only felt that something seemed to be wrong at this time, and looked at Zheng Zhi, still thinking in his mind.

Zheng Zhi didn't care either, obviously he just put Cai You together. In a few days, the whole of Hebei will know that Cai You wrote lyrics during the banquet, and only half of the bad work was published, so he didn't have the face to write it again. This matter will naturally reach Cai You's ears.

Although Cai You noticed that something was wrong, he saw Zheng Zhi's smile on his face, as well as the flattering words, and only said: "I have won the award, and I will release half a song today, and after filling it in tomorrow, I will invite someone to sing it during the banquet." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, didn't say much, and only had another drink with Tong Guan.

On the second day, I got up early in the morning, and the drums on the school field shook the sky.

Zheng Zhi and Tong Guan sat firmly on the platform, and Cai You also watched freshness from the sidelines, which was also the first time Cai You had seen so many military men. An army of 50,000 people, watched from a close distance, is really not small.

Zheng Zhi invited, Tong Guan stepped forward and stood still, following left and right. Listening to Tong Guan's words, he spoke about the righteousness of the family and the country, bravely killed the enemy, and made meritorious contributions.

Until Tong Guan finished speaking, Zheng Zhi stepped forward and didn't say much, and said: "The review begins, and the first army in the left compartment and the first army in the right compartment will fight first." ”

The army is the establishment above the battalion, with about 500 people in the first battalion and 2,500 people in the first army. Above the army was the compartment, and there were as many as 25,000 men in the compartment. Under Zheng Zhi, there are actually two compartments.

The colonel's method is no different from that of the Western Army, the soldiers are dressed in heavy armor, and most of the blades are tightly wrapped. It is also normal for both sides to beat drums against each other and lose a few people.

Tong Guan has seen this, although he is looking forward to it, and wants to see the effect of Zheng Zhi's training, but he is also worried, and a big gong is placed next to Tong Guan, so that he can call people to withdraw the troops at any time.

In the open space of the school field, 2,500 people on the left and right lined up in an instant, all of them were foot soldiers, and when they heard the drums, they stepped forward, and the rhythm was orderly and not chaotic at all.

Zheng Zhi nodded again and again, and he didn't mess up before the battle, so he did the basic point.

After receiving the battle, there are many spears, stabbing forward, and the method of assassination is also uniform. Immediately, some people also turned on their backs, and the infantry was much safer than the cavalry, at least they could stand up and avoid calmly when they fell to the ground.

Cai You has seen it fresh, and it is really interesting to see this kind of thing for the first time.

Tong Guan looked at it for a moment and said: "Zheng Zhi's training is really good, the army is in strict formation, and there is a basis for advancing and retreating. As long as the morale does not fall, these newly trained soldiers will be elite in the battle array. ”

Tong Guan has an old eye and can see these things clearly. When a recruit first goes into battle, it is also a time to build confidence, morale is the key, and when confidence is established and he becomes a veteran, his ability to resist pressure will be much stronger. Therefore, the morale of soldiers who have just entered the battle is very important, and the grassroots officers who boost morale are especially important. If those team leaders are brave enough to take the lead, they can also play an exemplary role.

This is also Zheng Zhi's main means of controlling the new army.

Cai You's layman was also full of interest when he saw the excitement, and he couldn't help but look forward to the 100,000 army in Hejian Mansion, and he was also thinking about how to buy people's hearts.

The war was about to reach a white-hot stage, and Tong Guan, who had only listened, said: "Mingjin! ”

On the stage, Ming Jin is a masterpiece. Both sides of the fierce battle below also stopped. Mingjin's stage is also just right, and the two sides can roughly distinguish a situation.

The two generals came to the stage to pay a visit, but Tong Guan didn't speak, but only looked at Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and said: "The first army in the right compartment is victorious today, and the commander makes Sun Shengchao half a level, and the right compartment is waiting!" ”

When Sun Shengchao heard the words at this time, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you!" ”

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and motioned for Sun Shengchao and the others to go down.

There were already two teams of ironclad knights walking left and right in the audience, Zheng Zhi looked left and right, stepped forward and said: "Enxiang, the left is the party item Mi capture, and the right is Xiangli." All are two thousand. ”

Tong Guan nodded when he heard this, his face seemed to be a little fierce, as if Tong Guan had some hatred in his heart as long as he saw the party members.

The battle began with the beating of drums, and there were only two thousand men on both sides. Because there are only 2,000 people in Xiangli, Mi Bao naturally can't bully more and less.

Tong Guan's face was unhappy. Zheng Zhi also looked serious, but in his heart he was thinking about how to start provoking something.

Cai You saw that both sides were cavalry opponents, and he also took two steps forward, wanting to see more clearly.

After the drums sounded, the two sides gathered together and galloped their horses. Everyone tied their legs to their horses to avoid being injured by the horses' hooves if they fell. This point was arranged by Zheng Zhi.

The shouts started, Xiang Lide was actually not as competitive as Mi Zhenwu, but today Xiang Lide was dressed in battle again, and there was also a momentum in his heart to vent. At the beginning of the war, the Xiangli people stormed the city, killed and wounded, and were ridiculed and ridiculed by other tribes for being incompetent.

Later, his father was also assassinated by Renming on the top of the city, and he was also detained in Lide and almost died of starvation. At this time, although Xiang Lide did not have much desire to win, he secretly had the intention of proving himself in his heart.

The two sides are at war and do not spare any hands at all. The heavy armor rattled, and countless people were hung on the side of the horse, only the ropes on their feet pulled their bodies, and many also let out a wail of pain.

Wait until the two formations are separated and reunited.

Zheng Zhi can see it clearly, but he is not up or down.

Tong Guan also looked energetic, but he felt that these party members were really not bad, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, but it's not brave." ”

Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Mingjin! ”

Tong Guan didn't know why, and asked: "There is no winner or loser, why did Mingjin withdraw the army?" ”

Zheng Zhi looked at Tong Guan and replied: "Enxiang, it's best if you don't win or lose, isn't it a good thing to be unconvinced by each other?" Let them end like this this time, won't they work harder to win next time?"

When Tong Guan heard this, he was thinking about it in his heart, and he didn't say much, but he also figured out some truths. Just look at Zheng Zhi's next moves.

Cai You couldn't understand the dumb riddle played by the two, and looked at Zheng Zhi with a puzzled expression.

Xiang Lide and Mi Zhenwu walked up to the general platform and knelt down to greet them.

I saw that Zheng Zhi's face was full of anger, he took the horse whip from the hand of one of the people next to him, slowly walked in front of Mi Zhenwu, and asked in a low voice: "Mi has been training for so long, why can't you beat Xiangli, who has just put on armor for more than a month?" ”

Mi Zhenwu was shocked when he heard this, he heard Ming Jin when he was dividing the victory and defeat just now, and he still had doubts in his heart, and when he heard Zheng Zhi's question, he was also confused, and hurriedly replied: "Master, the victory or defeat is not divided, come again for a while, the small one will definitely defeat Xiangli." ”

Zheng Zhi was furious when he heard this, and the horsewhip in his hand was already hit in Mi Zhenwu's face, and he shouted: "If you can't win, you dare to quibble, you train perfunctory on weekdays, and you can't win today, you dare to bully someone under the pretext, but you can't die?" ”

Mi Zhenwu was beaten in the face, and hurriedly buried his head. The whip kept pumping on the iron armor, and the sound was crisp. On the grassland, people are mostly whipped with whips, but Zheng Zhi is extremely proficient in learning.

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare, the master forgives the sins!" Mi Zhenwu hurriedly spoke.

After a moment, Zheng Zhi seemed to dissipate his anger, turned around and threw down the horsewhip, and said: "Today, we will win in Lili, reward 5,000 women and children, 2,000 soldiers, and 10,000 cattle and sheep!" ”

When Xiang Lide heard this, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

Zheng Zhi didn't reply, looked at Mi Zhenwu, and said: "Get out, if you dare to perfunctory military orders, you will definitely be beheaded by the sacrificial flag!" ”

When Mi Zhenwu heard this, he didn't get up, but hurriedly retreated, and got up and walked away.

Mi Zhenwu's whip didn't hurt much, but he just took a slap on the face. But he was very angry in his heart, and he got off the stage, and looked at Xiang Lide who was a little happy on his face, and he didn't know how to feel. only said: "Next time, I will definitely pick you off." ”

When he heard the words of Lide, he saw a whip mark on Mi Zhenwu's face, and saw the resentment on Mi Zhenwu's face, so he only said: "Next time you win, there will naturally be a reward, there is a shortage of people and food in my tribe, and today is really a fluke." ”

Mi Zhenwu didn't say much, went straight to his own department, and led people out of the school. This young man has not yet seen what strategy is.
