Shao Lao Er looked at Zhao Yun's strange armor, and said with a smile: "Young master, if the villain is not mistaken, this armor is placed in the Qing Dynasty, and it is a good thing that can only be used by the prince Baylor." The steel color is dark and shiny, faintly glowing with blue light, it is the use of the Japanese 100 steel refining techniques, each piece of scale armor has a natural attached pattern, so that the hard Cheng dù does not lose the plate armor, but the weight is only slightly heavier than the leather armor of the good armor, can be described as a rare boutique in the armor. However, the young master is not the Qing Dynasty now, it has long been a foreign gun and artillery, and you still use this to block bullets, it is estimated that it is hanging!

Zhao Yun thinks about it, this thing is the same as a helmet, the shrenaline is okay, it directly resists bullets, it is estimated that it is enough! But if the armor is heavier, I won't be able to carry it!

Seeing that Zhao Yun was silent in thought, Shao Lao Er continued, "Young Master, you still send two shield soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding steel shields to protect you on the side, so it is estimated that it will be better!" ”

"Makes sense, huh! Shao Lao Er, do you have a good brain? How did you come up with this trick? ”

"Hehe, young master, you forgot that the little one was a soldier in the Qing army, and there were personal soldiers around the sentry commander at that time who were specially designed to block bullets for him." Shao Lao Er said embarrassedly.

"Well, yes, yes, this method is good, but two is not enough, I want to send eight, so that I can protect me in all directions!" Zhao Yun only cared about talking to himself.

Shao Lao Er was stunned when he listened to it!

After trying on the armor, Zhao Yun looked at the time and picked up an ancient book again. This is a real ancient book! It was to ask the deputy county magistrate Xu to borrow from the county government, the county chronicle of Yixing County.

Why should I read the county chronicle?

Because Zhao Yun is looking for people, looking for three very good characters. Two of them are also somewhat legendary and mythical. And except for the last one, which is also the least meritorious one, the other two are not famous.

The three of them are, Zhou Chu, Chen Qingzhi, and Lu Xiangsheng, all three of them are from Yixing, but they are not from the same era, but they are all characters between Niu A and Niu C. And they also have a common feature is sincerity, Zhao Yun wants to learn a little military knowledge from them, even if it is a scale and half a claw, they are about to go to the battlefield, Zhao Yun is also anxious!

This can be regarded as grinding the gun in battle!

First of all, let's talk about "the first person in Yangxian", Zhou.

Zhou (236 ~ 297 years), the word is hidden. A native of Yangxian (now Yixing, Jiangsu), Wu County, Dongwu, the son of Zhou Yi, the Taishou of Poyang, his grandfather was also an official, and he should be regarded as the third generation of officials.

Therefore, when Zhou was young, he indulged in wanton lust, for the disaster in the township, and later in order to reform and go to learn from celebrities, the prodigal son turned back, reformed himself, and his deeds were better than his father, leaving the legend of "removing the three evils in Zhou" in the local area.

When Zhou was young, he was arrogant and strong, and he was a big scourge in the local area. There is a dragon in the river of Yixing, and there is a white-fronted tiger on the mountain, which plagues the people together. The people of Yixing call them the three major evils, and the three evils are the most powerful around.

Some people persuaded Zhou to kill the tiger and the dragon, in fact, hoping that only one of the three scourges would be left after fighting each other. Zhou immediately killed the tiger, and then went down to the river to kill the dragon. The dragon sometimes floated and sometimes sank in the water, drifting for dozens of miles, and always fighting with the dragon everywhere. After three days and three nights, the local people thought that Zhou was dead and took turns to celebrate it.

As a result, Zhou killed the dragon and came out of the water. When he heard that the villagers thought he was dead and celebrated about it, he realized that they actually regarded themselves as a great scourge, so he repented.

So he went to Wu County to find Lu Ji and Lu Yun, two cultivated celebrities. At that time, Lu Ji was not there, and only saw Lu Yun (in fact, when Zhou was young, Lu Yun was just a child, and his saving was to convey the following words), he told Lu Yun the whole situation, and said: "I want to correct my mistakes, but the years have been wasted, and I am afraid that there will be no achievements in the end." Lu Yun said: "The ancients cherished morality and thought that 'even if you understand the truth in the morning, you will be willing to die at night', and there is still hope for your future." Besides, people are afraid that they will not be able to set up their ambitions, as long as they can make up their minds, why worry about not being able to spread their good reputation? After hearing this, Zhou changed his life and finally became a loyal minister.

Later, in northern Shaanxi and Gansu, the Di people rebelled, and the imperial court found King Liang to suppress it, and the ministers took the opportunity to make Zhou Zhi a striker, so as to kill people with knives. A good friend of Zhou Zhi wrote to the emperor, saying that although Zhou Zhi was loyal and courageous, he had too many grievances, and no one was willing to support him when he rushed to kill, and he would definitely die in vain. Please don't send Zhou to die, but the emperor at that time was the famous Emperor Jin Hui who wondered why the common people didn't eat minced meat, where did he care so much. Zhou's friends persuaded him to resign from the mission on the grounds of his old mother, but Zhou refused angrily, saying that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, since he has done this, he can't take care of his own righteousness, and he will die if he dies. In the end, he set off with the army.

When he arrived at the front line, the king of Liang asked him to take 5,000 men and horses to storm the enemy camp on the grounds of the bravery of Zhou, and ordered him to enter the battle immediately three times in one night, and Zhou used 5,000 troops to fight against 70,000 enemy troops. The battle lasted from morning to night, until the belly and intestines sounded, and the king of Liang did not send a single soldier to support, but poor Zhou died in the chaos. Before he died, he wrote a poem: Go to the death of the matter, ride the horse to watch Xirong. Quinoa and sweet beam, the end of the period.

All right! Both the tiger and the dragon appeared, and Zhao Yun had to wonder what kind of animal this dragon was?

In ancient Chinese culture, the dragon occupied various fields with special meanings and became the spiritual symbol of Chinese culture.

There is a legend about dragons, and there is a legend about the Xia Dynasty, the king Kong Jia, who once ordered his subordinate Liu Lei to raise dragons. At that time, it was a male and a female, but later the mother died, and Liu Lei served Kong Jia with dragon meat. Kong Jia was hungry, but the dragon meat was gone, and Liu Lei ran away. Liu Lei is the ancestor of the current surname Liu.

And the Japanese shouted that they had specimens of dragons.

Although there is a specimen of a young dragon in the Ceryu Temple in the Shonan district of Osaka, Japan, there is a specimen of a young dragon that has not grown up. But there are at least two Zuiryuji temples in Japan, one is Zuiryuji Temple in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, which is a large temple and a national treasure of Japan, but does not have any specimens of dragons, and the other, Zuiryuji Temple in Osaka's Sholang Ward, is very small and cannot be found on the map because its real name is "Iron Eye Temple". According to the locals in Osaka, this Iron Eye Temple is actually only a few hundred square meters, but it is famous not for being a specimen of a dragon, but for the hand of a kappa.

There are many temples in Japan that claim to have specimens of otherworldly creatures, but they are usually made from fish, birds, reptiles, and the corpses of human babies or monkeys. So, almost no one in Japan believes that it's true.

Zuiryuji Temple in Osaka, Japan, displays a small dried dragon specimen that is said to have been caught by fishermen on the seashore during the Ming Dynasty and exported to Japan by Chinese merchants, where it was purchased by the famous Japanese collector Bandai Fujibei. Bandai Fujibei donated the specimen to Zuiryuji Temple, which has been preserved to this day. The specimen is embalmed, coated with gold dust, has horns on the dragon's head, a long whisker around the mouth, huge eyes, three claws, and a whole body covered with scales, quite close to the dragon in the sculpture. The specimen is only one meter long and may have been a young dragon that has not yet grown up.

There are not only dragons but also mermaids, and shriveled specimens of kappa, similar to mummies.

The mermaid was caught by a fisherman off the coast of Japan in 1682 A.D. in the second year of Tenwa, and he told the news that he liked to buy some strange wealthy merchant Bandai Fujibei to buy it. Bandai Fujibei was very happy and wanted to raise a live mermaid, but the wealthy merchant Bandai Fujibei publicly showed the mermaid to the world, but unfortunately the mermaid did not live long, and was raised to death by Bandai Fujibei, and was made into a specimen.

Okay, don't talk about that, look back at the five thousand against seventy thousand in the back, how this fierce man fought is still not clear, but the death battle is also a move, and Zhao Yun still has confidence in his puppet soldiers.

Then let's look at another fierce man, first of all, declare that this person is even more bullish than the pig's feet in YY's novel, but he is a real person, don't complain.

In fact, Zhao Yun looked for the county chronicle to learn how he fought the war, and even the great man of the generation who used soldiers like a god - Taizu, although he read military books to the fullest, still admired and admired Chen Qingzhi very much. For a period of time after the liberation, he read and re-read "The Biography of Chen Qingzhi", circled and dotted in many places in the biography, drew heavy lines, and annotated with affection: "Read this biography again and be fascinated by it."

After reading the history of ancient Chinese wars, there are always some memorable examples of winning more with less.

Xiang Yu Pengcheng broke the princes: 30,000 against 560,000;

Han Xin's battle to break Zhao: 12,000 against 200,000;

The Battle of Kunyang in Liu Xiu: 3,000 against 420,000;

Zhang Liaoheqi War: 800 against 100,000;

Battle of the Rivers: 80,000 against 1,120,000;

……

These battles are impossible to win according to the logic of ordinary people, but there is no coincidence that there is no book, and without these accidents, these geniuses will be reflected, and there is one here, Chen Qingzhi.

Some people may think that winning more with less is coincidentally occasional under certain conditions, in a specific place, and in a specific weather, and it is possible that such a master will fight such an earth-shattering battle in his life.

But this man has fought hundreds of battles in his life, almost all of them in a ratio of one to ten or even hundreds. And the problem is that he still uses a small number of infantry to kill a large number of cavalry.

Then let's take a look at this bull, in later generations, many people still learned from Tanaka Yoshiki's "Rushing" that there is such a character, and they find Chen Qingzhi's strength unbelievable, and it is estimated that the enemy against him also thinks so, and many people will probably marvel that they don't even know such a famous general, and the Chinese people are ashamed to feed back historical knowledge by novels written by the Japanese.

Chen Qingzhi (484 ~ 539), the name Ziyun, Han nationality, Yixing Guoshan (now Yixing City, Jiangsu Province), was a general of the Southern Liang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Less was the entourage of Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, and later General Wuwei.

A word "less", but the knowledge is very large, because Chen Qingzhi was born in a poor family, and may be the son of a Shu scholar or a small official (Xiao Yan later wrote in the edict praising him that "this is not a general, and it is not a wealthy family").

In ancient China, especially during the period of the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the dividing line between the Shu (lower-level landlords or scholars) and the scholars (high-level landlords or scholars) was quite strict, and the Shu people did not necessarily have the opportunity to get ahead. And his martial arts are very poor: "If you can't shoot through the bar, the horse is not convenient", it is difficult to open an ordinary bow and crossbow, and he is not good at riding horses and archery, so it can be said that he is not as good as an ordinary soldier. Therefore, Chen Qingzhi's youth, perhaps middle-aged, was spent as a court attendant. At that time, the emperor was Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, and Chen Qingzhi followed the emperor to play chess for more than 20 years: "Gaozu is good at chess, and he never quits every night, and his peers are tired. But his resume in the first half of his life is blank except for this.

It wasn't until 525 A.D. that Chen Qingzhi had the first opportunity to lead troops in his life, when he was 42 years old. In other words, he was not allowed to reuse it for many years before, that is, he played chess with the emperor. But the head of the person who plays chess is smart, and playing chess with the emperor must be of a standard, the emperor is not happy if he wins too much, and the emperor is not interested in losing too much, this degree is really very difficult to grasp. And he has played chess with the emperor for so many years, which shows that his brain is definitely very smart.

The first time Chen Qingzhi led troops in his life was to be appointed as General Wuwei and other generals to meet the defection of the Xuzhou Assassin Shi Yuan monk of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the battle was not completed, but he began his fighting career of only 15 years.

After accepting the defection, Xiao Yan appointed Chen Qingzhi as the general of Xuanmeng, and the commander of Wende led 2,000 troops to escort Xiao Zong, the king of Yuzhang, to take over Xuzhou. Of course, it is impossible for the Northern Wei Dynasty to lose the strategic place of Xuzhou, and sent two clansmen, Yuan Yanming and Yuan Yu, to lead 20,000 troops, and set up camps in the area of Zhikou to prepare for the army. As a result of the battle at 1:10, Eryuan's 20,000 men and horses were routed and fled by Chen Qingzhi's 2,000 men and horses in a single drum. Since then, both countries have known the name Chen Qingzhi.

In 527 A.D., Chen Qingzhi attacked Wuyang from Cao Zhongzong, and from the fact that he led few troops but had a false festival, it can be seen from the fact that he participated in the military aircraft and had a false festival, and it can be seen that he was likely to be a role such as a supervisor of the army. The Northern Wei Dynasty sent Yuan Zhao and others to lead 150,000 troops to rescue, and the troops of the front army rushed to the camel stream. At that time, Chen Qingzhi, who had only 200 men under his command, attacked at night, and another general, Wei Fang, believed that the enemy's forward troops were elite and not easy to win. Chen Qingzhi finally said, "If you don't go, I'll take my 200 people." So, he led his subordinates to 200, a long distance of 40 miles, in one night by the Wei army to come to Xinzhi, a surprise, defeated the vanguard of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the large army of the Northern Wei Dynasty heard that the vanguard was defeated, the whole army was terrified, slow to act, morale plummeted. He is indeed remarkable, he can see the enemy situation clearly, the fatigue of the long-distance expedition of Wei's 150,000 army is certain, plus the northerners have just arrived in the south, they are not adapted to the water and soil, and more importantly, the central tribe of the army accounts for the majority, so that he only needs to break up these tribal teams that were pulled by Lazhuang Ding and did not want to fight, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up.

However, the strength of the two sides is too different, so the two sides have fought for nearly a year from spring to winter near Wuyang, fighting hundreds of times, and the victory has not yet been decided, but the reinforcements of the Northern Wei Dynasty have built a camp in the rear of the Liang army, forming a flanking attack. Cao and Wei couldn't fight anymore and prepared to retreat. Chen Qingzhi took the fake festival to block the troops at the gate of the camp and advocated a decisive battle. Cao and Wei were frightened and handed over command to him. Chen Qingzhi immediately led the elite night attack on the thirteen camps that the Northern Wei reinforcements thought were impregnable, broke their four bases, and Wang Wei, the lord of Voryang City, surrendered. The Liang army took advantage of the victory to attack, captured a lot of people, and the rest of the nine bases were all defeated. The Liang army won a resounding victory, and the corpses of the Wei army silted up the tributaries of the Huaishui. But these are not worth mentioning compared to the military brilliance of Chen Qing in the later period.

In 528 A.D., there was a civil strife in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and powerful people such as Xiao Baoyin, Ge Rong, and Er Zhurong were divided, and Er Zhurong wantonly slaughtered the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty. So Yuan Hao surrendered Liang on the grounds of the chaos of the dynasty, and asked the Liang Dynasty to send troops to help him become emperor. In order to perfunctory Yuan Hao, Xiao Yan had the idea of testing the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he took Yuan Hao as the king of Wei, and took Chen Qingzhi as a fake festival and a brave general, and led 7,000 troops to escort Yuan Hao north to Luoyang as the emperor.

In fact, Yuan Hao also knew that he was two catties, and he didn't plan to really take Luoyang, he called the emperor not to leave soon after he sent troops, and gave Chen Qingzhi a bunch of official positions as General Wei, Xuzhou Assassin Shi, and Wudu Gong, and ordered him to continue to supervise the army to attack Xingyang in the west, and appointed him to fight on his own. So in the continuous spring rain, Chen Qingzhi led his direct 7,000 troops to start the mythical Northern Expedition.

In April 529 AD, when Chen Qingzhi led his troops to conquer the Xinggao rebel army in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he took advantage of the situation to capture Xingcheng (now Shangqiu, Henan) and invaded Liang (now Shangqiu, Henan).

After Chen Qingzhi conquered Xingcheng, he marched to Suiyang. Suiyang's defender is called Qiu Daqian, the guy who was still defeated in Chen Qing's initial battle with ten times the strength of the battalion. Now this battle is almost completely a repeat of the original battle: 7,000 against 70,000, the same one to ten, the same army with more troops on the defensive, but this time Qiu Daqian learned a lesson and built nine camps in a row to resist. But the result was the same: I don't blame Qiu Daqian, I only blame him for meeting Chen Qingzhi. Chen Qingzhi pretended to be proficient in witchcraft, so that his army was dressed in strange costumes and spoke different words when fighting. During the battle of Xingcheng, thousands of mounds protruded under the city overnight, the Liang army wore white robes, the smoke was foggy all around, the ghost horn sounded, thousands of soldiers dug out the grave, and the Wei soldiers scattered and fled when they saw this, and they could not form an army. Chen Qingyi captured three of them in the morning, and Qiu Daqian completely lost his fighting spirit, so he surrendered. In fact, he dug the grave in advance, let the soldiers go in and hide it, and came out as soon as the order sounded, the ancient people were very superstitious, thinking that it was a yin soldier, so they threw away their armor and turned their heads and ran. In the future, when fighting in the war, Wei Bing had a heart disease.

Yuan Hao then stationed in Suiyang (now Shangqiunan, Henan) and awarded Chen Qingzhi the envoy of the festival, the general of Zhenbei, the protector army, and the governor of the former army. When Wei Jiyin Wang Yuanhuiye led 20,000 Yulin troops to help, occupying the city to block Chen Qingzhi, the city was surrounded by water, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Chen Qingzhi built a fortress on the water, captured the city, captured Yuan Huiye, and "obtained 7,800 rental cars". After the victory, Chen Qingzhi continued to march to Luoyang. Along the way, there are many places that have heard the wind and surrendered.

In May, Emperor Yuan Ziyou of Wei sent his troops to defend Xingyang (present-day Henan) and Hujiao (present-day Bishui Town, northwest of Xingyang) to defend Luoyang, Kyoto. Wei Zuo's servants shot Yang Yu, Xi'e Wang Yuanqing, and Fujun general Yuan Xiangong led 70,000 Yulin troops to defend Xingyang to resist the Liang army. The Wei army was very sharp, and with the strong city of Xingyang, Chen Qing's attack was overwhelming. When Wei general Shangdang Wang Yuantianmu's army was approaching, he sent his hussar general Erzhu Tuwuer to lead Hu cavalry 5,000, and cavalry general Lu An led Xiazhou infantry cavalry 9,000 to reinforce Yang Yu. He also sent his right servant Zhu Shilong and Wang Zhen of Xijingzhou to lead 10,000 cavalry and enter the tiger prison. The Wei army totaled 300,000 people and surrounded the Liang army. Yuan Hao sent someone to persuade Yang Yu to surrender, but was refused. Soon, Yuan Tianmu and Erzhu Tu came one after another, and the Wei army looked at each other for a while. Unexpectedly, the encirclement had just been formed, and before he had time to attack, Chen Qingzhi personally beat the drum to attack the city, and with only one drum, the Liang army all landed in the city. The warriors Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianshu first climbed the city wall, and the Liang army entered one after another, then conquered Xingyang, captured Yang Yu, killed 37 of his subordinates, and ate his heart. Chen Qingzhi's reserves in Xingyang were incalculable. Xingyang, with 70,000 defenders, can't stop 7,000 white-robed troops? Shame!

Soon, Yuan Tianmu and others led 200,000 reinforcements to besiege the city, note: 150,000 of them were elite minority cavalry. Chen Qingzhi, who occupied Xingyang, saw that more than 200,000 Northern Wei reinforcements were pressing down on the city, and he didn't want to defend the city at all, so he led 3,000 elite cavalry to fight against the city. The big break, 3,000 against 200,000, most of the two sides are cavalry. Chen Qingzhi's 3,000 troops annihilated 200,000 reinforcements from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lu An surrendered in front of the battle, and Yuan Tianmu and Erzhu Tuwuer were freed from riding alone. Chen Qingzhi probably didn't feel that it was enjoyable, and took these 3,000 people to march into the Tiger Prison Pass, and there were 10,000 elite, and the Tiger Prison Guard General Zhu Shilong did not dare to fight, abandoned the city and fled, the Liang army captured Wei Dongzhonglang General Xin Su, and the Emperor Yuanzi of Wei Xiaozhuang was forced to retreat to the eldest son (now the eldest son of Shanxi) in order to avoid Chen Qingzhi's edge. At this time, Chen Qingzhi was only one step away from Luoyang, but he had no chance to fight Luoyang, because Luoyang's guards Yuan Yi and Yuan Yanming surrendered directly. Yuan Hao then entered Luoyang, Wei Linhuai, Wang Yuanyu, Anfeng Wang Yuanyanming led hundreds of officials to welcome Yuan Hao into the palace. Yuan Hao changed the Yuan amnesty, and then began to learn from other monarchs, spending all day and drinking. He also added a bunch of official positions to Chen Qingzhi as the servant, the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the doctor of Zuo Guanglu, increasing the number of households.

Soon, Shangdang Wang Yuantianmu, Wang Laosheng, and Li Shuren led 40,000 troops to conquer Daliang, and dispatched Wang Laosheng and Fei Mu to enter the Tiger Prison, Diao Xuan, and Diao Shuangjin Liang and Song. After Chen Qingzhi heard this, he led the army to cover the attack, and the Wei army surrendered. Yuan Tianmu led more than ten horsemen to cross the Yellow River north and fled, Fei Mu attacked the tiger prison, Jiang Ke, suddenly heard that Yuan Tianmu fled north, thought that there was no successor, and then surrendered to Chen Qingzhi. Chen Qingzhi attacked Liang and Liang again, and they all conquered it.

At this time, Emperor Wu of Liang, who was far away in the south, heard the news and wrote an edict again to encourage him. Chen Qingzhi and his subordinates all wore white robes and were invincible along the way, so the nursery rhyme in Luoyang City said: "Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of soldiers avoid white robes" ("Liang Shu Chen Qingzhi Biography"). In other words, it doesn't matter how good you are or how many people you have, it's best to bypass this force when you run into it. Chen Qingzhi took 7,000 people, from Gongxian to Luoyang, fought 47 times before and after, and attacked 32 cities.

But then, Chen Qingzhi encountered the tactics of crowds again, and after receiving a series of defeat reports from his subordinates, Er Zhurong poured almost all the country's troops under the control of the Northern Wei Dynasty, known as one million, of course, among these people, they have already counted those in charge of logistics. Attack Luoyang from the north and south. The small cities near Luoyang rebelled under the heavy pressure of Er Zhurong. In Yuan Hao's opinion, although Chen Qingzhi has made great contributions, it is impossible for Yuan Hao, who didn't want to take Nanliang's conditions seriously, to reuse him. Chen Qingzhi himself knew very well, and took the initiative to go north of the Yellow River to defend Beizhonglang City, the gateway to Luoyang (soon became the only stronghold of Yuan Hao's army north of the Yellow River). Er Zhurong also insisted on separating from Chen Qingzhi, so he attacked Chen Qingzhi vigorously, fought eleven battles in three days, and Chen Qingzhi's troops of 7,000 people beat millions of Er Zhurong's troops to heavy casualties, Er Zhurong was simply desperate and ordered to retreat.

All right! Although the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty is generally exaggerated, for example, the Battle of Cao Cao's Chibi is claimed to be one million, but it is actually only hundreds of thousands. But even if he divides all his records by 10, he can kill all the way without tasting defeat, Zhao Yun thinks about the Three Kingdoms general with the same name as himself, and he doesn't know if he can do it......

In 536 AD, Hou Jing, the assassin of Dingzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, led 70,000 men to Kou Chu Prefecture, captured Huan He, the assassin of Chu Prefecture, and Hou Jing (a notorious fellow) took advantage of the victory to march into Huaishang, and wrote a letter to persuade Chen Qingzhi to surrender. Chen Qingzhi ushered in the last battle of his life. Chen Qingzhi's men were less than 10,000 at that time, and Emperor Wu of Liang was so nervous that he urgently dispatched reinforcements to help. Shortly after departure, the army arrived at Li Zhi (Shouchun South, now Shou County South), and news came from the front line: Hou Jing's team had been annihilated, Hou Jing left his baggage and fled alone. Chen Qingzhi has defeated Hou Jing. It was a cold and snowy time, Hou Jing abandoned his baggage and fled, and Chen Qingzhi collected his baggage and returned.

However, after combing through the historical records of various positions and squeezing out the water in the myth, Chen Qingzhi is still an outstanding general of a generation, with his white robe fluttering, at least we will no longer regard Alexander's tens of thousands of people breaking the Persian million-strong army as an irreproducible legend.

In addition to the above two rather mythical characters, the last one is closer to reality. Lu Xiangsheng (1600~1639) was a general of the Ming Dynasty. The word Jiandou, alias Jiutai, is a native of Yixing (now Jiangsu). When he was a teenager, he loved to read military books and liked to learn riding and shooting. In the second year of the Ming Dynasty (1622), he was a jinshi, and later served as the prefect of the daimyo. In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), the Houjin army entered the customs and forced the Beijing Division (now Beijing), and he recruited 10,000 soldiers to guard. In the following year, he entered the right to participate in politics, and was ordered to rectify the military garrison of the three prefectures of Daimyo (now Hebei), Guangping (now Yongnian, Hebei), and Shunde (now Xingtai, Hebei), and the department was called the "Tianxiong Army". From the sixth year, he participated in the suppression of the peasant rebels of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, until September of the ninth year, he served as the governor of Xuanda and Shanxi Military Affairs, and trained troops to resist the Qing Dynasty. In the winter of the 11th year, the Qing army attacked southward on three routes, and Lu Xiangsheng advocated resolute resistance, led the generals to split up and fought with the Qing army in Qingdu, Zhending (now Wangdu, Zhengding, Hebei) and other places. Because Yang Sichang, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, who held the power of the army, was bent on peace, he was constrained in everything, so that Lu Xiangsheng lost many battles. But he swore to fight to the death and inspired his soldiers to fight. In December of that year (January 1639), he fought many battles against the invading Qing army at Julu (now Hebei), and won many victories, and the 20,000 troops he led also suffered more than 15,000 casualties. But Gao Qiqian cut off his provisions. Lu Xiangsheng led a force of less than 5,000 men to fight the Qing army without food and grass, and fell into the heavy encirclement of the Qing army. Because Gao Qiqian deliberately did not move, the reinforcements were delayed, and Lu Xiangsheng finally fought fiercely all day long and died of exhaustion. In order to preserve his body, one of his own soldiers lay down on his corpse and died with 24 arrows in his body, which shows the fierceness of the battle. Later, the imperial court posthumously presented the military department with a book, and he was loyal to Su. There is "Lu Zhongsu Public Collection". Lu Xiangsheng died at the age of thirty-nine, and some people often compare Lu Xiangsheng with Yue Fei, for example, Huang Daorang's couplet in the late Qing Dynasty has the words "Count the thirty-nine-year-old famous generals, Yue Jiawai, Lu Jiayou mourn". There are only a few books about Lu Xiangsheng in different editions, and I have not seen a single paper on him four or nine years later, and he seems to have been gradually forgotten.

Huang Shang's 1986 Yixing travelogue said that he had seen Lu Xiangsheng's 136-pound practice knife, which was rusty and bronzed. Lu Xiangsheng can only infect his subordinates with his personality charm, take the lead, share weal and woe with his subordinates, and always be loyal. It is worth noting the operational characteristics of the rebel army, the tactics of the rogue come and go like the wind, the two armies are fighting, and the most important thing is to know oneself and the other. But it is not easy to know the rogue to know the other. Hong Chengchou's strength is that he is good at deploying forces from all sides to carry out coordinated operations and encircle and suppress in many ways, while Lu Xiangsheng adopts another method: fighting bravely.

After reading the records of the three bigwigs, Zhao Yun summed up one point, that is, die! Even if there is no ox fork for three people, Lao Tzu has a parchment roll, and he can kill the enemy with crowd tactics.
