Chapter 296: Guarding the Baggage
Chen Ping looked at Qian Xingkun and said with a smile: "It is precisely because they are trapped in the capital that I say that this is good news." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Why?"
"Because they are afraid of us, they will shrink down in the city. In April, General Liu and his central guards had captured the capital, and its king Fanzhi abandoned the city and fled. This time, the imperial court went out again, and along the way, there was no resistance, that is, the dangerous Yan Li River ahead, and the enemy did not even send soldiers to garrison it. Chen Ping said.
Linyi is not large, located in the southern barbarians, a remote place, the imperial court conquest is not necessarily for its resources, but more to make it surrender, that is, to look good on the face, and want it to verbally recognize Sui as the eldest brother. The advantage of geographical advantage cannot be reflected at this time, but after a thousand years, even this small country dares to compete with China for islands.
"As soon as the imperial army arrives under its capital, or even does not need to go to its capital, Fanzhi will definitely be taken by the imperial court's military prestige and abandon the city again and flee." Chen Ping's words were astonishing.
Chen Ping's words were not fabricated out of thin air, in April, Liu Fang led the army to the Yanli River, and the enemy occupied the south bank and set up a camp to resist, and even dispatched elephant soldiers, but he was still defeated by Liu Fang, capturing tens of thousands of prisoners, and destroying the main force in the Linyi country in one fell swoop, so that it collapsed.
From Xia April to the present, less than a year old, there are no soldiers in the country of Linyi, and it is probably a last resort to retreat into the capital.
One is that there are no soldiers, and the other is that there is a fear of the imperial army. The second prince led more than 500 people to be stationed on the north bank of the Yanli River, standing against the water, probably because of Xiang Yu's desire to fight against the water.
If he really let him sneak attack Zhou Faxian and others, it will definitely cause casualties, and Zhou Faxian's army on the left will probably be blocked.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, so Chen Ping discovered that this team on the coal mountain was originally preparing for a sneak attack, but it became the target of a sneak attack, and even its commander and the prince of a country became prisoners.
For the monarchs and ministers of Linyi Kingdom, they can only cry out a few times with grief and indignation in their hearts, this is the destruction of Linyi by heaven, and it is not something that human beings can stop.
Arresting the lord of a country, everyone was unwilling to be left behind, and then listening to Chen Ping's analysis, they felt that they had to march quickly, approaching the capital, and they all asked for help: "I am willing to be the vanguard and capture Na Fanzhi for General Zhou." ”
"This time, it should be me who will lead the army, General Zhou, as the leader of the first government, you should be in the rear, not in person, I am the general of the chariot and cavalry, and I should personally lead the army." Fish agree with the Tao.
No one wants to give up the merit of capturing the lord of an enemy country.
"This general is the leader of the army, and he should go together. I know that you are sincere for your meritorious service, but now that we are in the territory of the enemy, we must not be taken lightly, and if the food and grass are behind, we need to be escorted by guards, and then there are these captives and servants who accompany the army, and we must be taken care of. Zhou Faxian is unwilling to give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and as a military general, after all, he is not as enviable as the officials of the Beijing Division.
Marching and fighting involves all aspects, not just taking weapons, going out to the army, meeting the enemy, killing the enemy, and returning to the court.
The captives need to be guarded, and although the food with the army is escorted by the people who serve in the conscription, those people are not guards, and they need to be guarded by guards from the military palace to guard the grain and grass, and they will walk slowly.
"Although Linyi is remote and located in a wild country, there are people in the same village, and military rations can be requisitioned on the spot." There are generals who lead the way.
Zhou Faxian shook his head: "There is an order from the saint that the soldiers of the DPRK and China must not harm the people of Linyi State. Although it is convenient to get grain on the spot, it is not conducive to the people's will, you need to keep in mind that in the future, this Linyi country will be the land of a state in the middle of our court, and its people should be like the people of the Central Plains, and they must not be killed at will. ”
"According to my meaning, the military rations and baggage are carried by the entourage, and the prisoners are also tied with ropes, as long as one commander is left, a hundred guards can ensure that the prisoners and the baggage are safe and sound." Yu praised and pointed at Chen Ping, "Chen Ping has just fought a fierce battle with the enemy, and his subordinate guards are in need of recuperation, so it is only appropriate for him to stay and set off with his baggage." ”
With 100 enemies and 500, this is the elite, although they have only fought before, but only 12 guards can be damaged, that is, 6 people are seriously wounded. But there are still a lot of guards who can fight, and Yu Zan did this, just to take the opportunity to leave Chen Ping.
In Liuhe Mansion, Wang Renze, Yuzan and Chen Ping had a conflict, which will make Yuzan difficult, seeing that the military merits are imminent, but let Chen Ping stay to guard and transport the baggage, anyone can see it, where is this to take care of, it is clear that he does not want Chen Ping to make military merits.
In the first battle, he captured the second prince of the enemy country, and if he captured the king of the enemy country with the army again, what did Yu Zan think?
If you don't want to stand by his side, you should learn some lessons.
"Chen Ping's subordinates are all elites, and there are not many defenders who have lost in this battle, so they can still set off with the army. Although the whole country of Linyi was taken by the military power of our dynasty, it must not be too underestimated, and there are war elephants in its country, which we have never seen. "King Qi values Chen Ping, and Zhou Faxian has a trace of connection with King Qi, so he doesn't want Chen Ping to miss this opportunity.
Although King Qi is the second son and the crown prince is Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao is unwell, which is not a secret in the court. Zhou Faxian befriended the King of Qi, and the reason for the inside was that he was thinking of some possibility.
And King Qi obviously attaches more importance to Chen Ping. On that day, Zhou Faxian and Chen Ping went to the Qi Palace, entered the inner courtyard, and there were people next to them, including Qiao Lingze, an old minister in the Qi Palace.
Being able to enter the inner courtyard of the Qi Palace, which in itself shows that the King of Qi values it and has a great relationship, but Chen Ping is not only able to enter the inner courtyard, but is also left by the King of Qi after the private banquet.
Later, I heard that the King of Qi sent a woman to Chen Ping, and when he faced the saint, Queen Xiao poured water for him and dined together, and Pei Ju and Wang Shichong seemed to be fortunate to accompany Chen Ping because of him.
The weight of his grace can be seen.
This time there was another southern expedition to Linyi, and it was mostly because of Chen Ping that the saint made up his mind to teach the king of Linyi a good lesson, Fanzhi, and accept his country as a state of the imperial court.
Such a person, only twelve or thirteen years old, was born poor, and has no background, but Zhou Faxian is actually a little envious, and his luck is really good.
entered Linyi, and even captured the prince of the enemy country. Now that he wants to march into the capital of Linyi State, he should hope that Chen Ping will accompany him, but if he is asked to transport the baggage, it will cause disgust in his heart, but it will not be beautiful.
The hussar general in the first army palace would actually consider the mood of one of his commanders, which is really ridiculous.
But this is the reality, the size of the official position is secondary, the energy behind the person, and the relationship it carries, no matter when, is the side of exquisiteness.
What shocked Zhou Faxian was that Chen Ping actually saluted and said: "Thank you for the general's love, but the guards under the subordinate officials really need to recuperate, and the baggage needs to be transported, so they will be escorted by the humble position, and the general is the leader of the army."
