Chapter Sixty-Nine: Thousands of Troops Avoid White Robes (Ask for Collection!) )
Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes!
The mysterious man in white actually left quietly with no beginning or end to the words, but I am sure that this sentence must not have been said casually, but specially instructed to me, just like the two sentences he left for me at the hexagram stall that day, which has a deeper meaning.
But why this sentence?
Shen Lang scratched his head, looked at us curiously and asked.
"Brother Chuan, master, what does this mean?"
Chun Ting saw that I was frowning, and did not answer Shen Lang's meaning, so he opened his mouth to explain to Shen Lang for me.
"This is a Luoyang nursery rhyme."
"During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yuan Hao, the king of Beihai, descended to Liang, and Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, sent people to lead 7,000 troops to the north to help Yuan Hao become emperor. And this time the northward journey has achieved the most legendary Northern Expedition in history. ”
"Seven thousand white-robed troops, attacking thirty-two cities, where they are, after forty-seven battles, all battles are victorious, and the lone army entered Luoyang City for thousands of miles. The number of troops he faced ranged from 70,000, 20,000, 70,000, more than 300,000, and more than 500,000, totaling nearly one million troops, and this person would always only deal with 7,000 white robes, and he would win all. For a time, the Northern Dynasties all talked about Chen's change of color, and the nursery rhyme in the city said: Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes. ”
Shen Lang was also confused for a while, how could he not have heard of such a legendary figure, hearing Chunting say this, Shen Lang suddenly realized.
"I said why is it so familiar, it turns out to be Chen Qingzhi, the god of the White Horse Army!"
I nodded, and the words left by the mysterious man were referring to Chen Qingzhi.
If you talk about the name of the god of war in history, everyone must have their own opinion.
When it comes to the number of enemies killed, no one can compare with the slaughter of Baiqi, and the 400,000 unjust souls in the battle of Guangchangping are a number that countless generals dare not imagine.
When it comes to the art of war strategy, Han Xin, who was called "Soldier Immortal" by later generations, is also unscrupulous, a person has truly achieved the princely general, the country's warrior is unparalleled, even after a thousand years, in addition to Han Xin, there is still no second person who can truly interpret these eight words.
If it comes to bravery, whether it is Lu Bulu Fengxian, who dared to call the world the first in the Three Kingdoms period, or Xiang Yu, who was respectfully called "the god of feathers and brave, unique in the ages" during the Qin and Han dynasties, all periods are indispensable for martial arts and people who are difficult to find opponents in the world, and they can all be called invincible in the world.
But when it comes to leading troops to fight, in the case of a huge disparity in the number of the enemy and us, we can achieve a hundred victories in a hundred battles, and the battle must be conquered, and the person who is second to none in the hearts of many people is the Northern Expedition led by Chen Qingzhi, the god of the White Horse Army.
Chen Qing was a weak scholar, not good at riding horses and archery, dressed as a white-robed scholar, with only 7,000 white-robed troops under his command, but he could fight all the way to Luoyang, and the total number of enemies he faced exceeded 500,000!
What's even more terrifying is that these 500,000 people were actually defeated by him, and there are even 3,000 people who were defeated by 300,000 people, such a mythical record. When it comes to having fewer enemies and more enemies, the battle must be won and the attack must be overcome, Chen Qingzhi's proud record is a well-deserved first no matter when it is placed.
Interestingly, Chen Qingzhi was only a civilian official, and he was not a general of the three armies at the beginning, nor was he a commander who was proficient in strategy. According to historical records, Chen Qingzhi is weak and not good at horseback riding and archery, so it is amazing that such a seemingly ordinary person can have the ability to draw thirty-two cities in forty-seven battles.
Now that I knew what this sentence meant, everyone began to discuss, trying to guess what the mysterious man in white meant, I frowned on the side, and I couldn't figure out what it was.
Seeing this, Xue Nan asked curiously.
"Han Chuan, knowing who he is talking about, why don't you seem to be happy?"
I nodded, my face full of confusion.
"It's because I know who these two sentences are talking about that I feel even more weird."
When they heard what I had said, they looked at me with doubts on their faces, and they all looked at me to see why I had said this.
"Now we all know that this man in white is unfathomable, and it can be seen from the matter of the hexagram stall that day that day that he said that there are all hidden mysteries, but this time what he left behind was too simple."
"Last time, he used the strange man in the world to allude to the mystery of the last sentence in the ancient painting, but this time the two sentences, just go to the street to find a few people, as long as you have a little research on history, you know that it is Chen Qingzhi, because it is too simple, but people don't know where to think."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they didn't relax just now, and they began to think about it.
From the beginning of our journey on this road, nothing was directly placed in front of us along the way, and all of them were tested through layers of tests to reach the truth, because all the stories we came into contact with were unimaginable to ordinary people, and history in my eyes had changed unconsciously.
But the two sentences left by this mysterious man did the opposite, not profound, but very easy to understand, simple and clear, directly pointing to Chen Qingzhi and his person, I was very uncomfortable for a while.
Qi Zhi thought about it for a while, and asked Ling Yan to go to the study to find a record of Chen Qingzhi's life, trying to find clues from his experience.
Ling Yan nodded yes, turned around and went to the study to look for records, Qi Zhi looked at me and said softly.
"Brother Chuan, since you don't have a clue, then don't think about it, at least we already know that it is related to Chen Qingzhi, and when Ling Yan brings a record about him, let's take a closer look at if there is anything strange."
I nodded, rubbed Qi Zhi's head lovingly, and waited for Ling Yan with everyone.
After a short time, Ling Yan returned to the attic with an ancient book in his hand, and we took the ancient book and put it on the table to examine it carefully, trying to find out the hidden mystery in it.
Chen Qingzhi, the word Ziyun, a native of Yixing Guoshan, was a general of the Liang Dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Born in a poor family, he was rarely an entourage of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu and was quite trusted. During the ordinary years of Liang, he served as General Wuwei and General Xuanmeng, leading troops well and caring for sergeants.
In the first year of Liang Datong, he and Cao Zhongzong and Wei Fang would attack the Northern Wei Dynasty. Chen Qingzhi only led 200 cavalry under his command to attack, broke its forward, and held the Wei army with his back to Vortex Yang City. The Wei army built thirteen bases, and Chen Qingzhi led the troops to attack the fourth base at night, forcing Wang Wei, the lord of Voryang City, to surrender. The Liang army took advantage of the victory to break through the remaining nine bases and captured a lot of prisoners.
In October of the second year of Datong, as a general of Biaoyong, he was ordered to escort Yuan Hao, the king of the Wei Beihai Sea, who had descended to Liang. In April of the following year, from Gongxian to Liang, he defeated the Wei general Qiu Daqian, who had 70,000 troops and built nine fortifications. Defeated Wei General Yuan Hui 20,000 people in Kaocheng. In May, he pulled out the two cities of Xingyang and Tiger Prison, drove straight in, and escorted Yuan Hao to Luoyang. So far, thirty-two cities have been leveled, forty-seven battles have been fought, and there is no way forward.
……
Seeing this, Ling Xuan suddenly spoke, and his expression couldn't hide his excitement.
"According to historical records, this Chen Qingzhi was originally a civil official, not good at bows and crossbows, not good at horseback riding, even if he didn't need to be strong in strategy, but in the first half of his life, there was no environment that allowed him to learn the art of war, right?"
Although we don't know what he meant, but looking at his serious appearance and thinking about it carefully, it is true that as he said, Chen Qingzhi did not have any opportunity to learn the art of war in the first half of his life.
Ling Xuan's expression was even more excited, and he continued to speak without waiting for us to urge.
"We look at the turning point of his life, when he led his troops to the north at the age of forty-one, a weak scholar, as if he was taught the wonderful art of war overnight, and he fought forty-seven battles and drew thirty-two cities in succession, and shocked the Central Plains, but according to what I said before, this is simply impossible for him to do."
The more Shen Lang listened, the more confused he became, and he anxiously urged Ling Xuan, wanting him to directly say what he was thinking.
Ling Xuan stood up and spun around in place a few times as he let out a long breath and said a bold idea from his mouth.
"Since he has done such a thing, but at the same time he has no ability to match, then we can boldly guess that there is someone else behind him, and this person is the real White Horse Army God!"
