Chapter Eighty-Eight: The White-robed God of War

In the next few days, Yang Tingfeng specially approved He Ruobi, Bo Xizhezhe, and Yi Lou Dazang - one gold nugget each, and allowed them to choose new pawns. Whether it is the people or the hometown, everyone has their own ability, and he will never interfere.

However, he doesn't interfere, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the real-time dynamics of the three.

During this time, Yang Tingfeng had to deal with a large amount of military affairs in the camp, so he could only send Xiao Wolf to follow, working from 9 to 5, and let him report twice a day.

In the evening of this day, Xiao Wolf came to report, saying that the three of them had their own characteristics in selecting troops, and the sources of troops were very different, which was a bit interesting.

Yang Tingfeng put down the pen and asked with interest, "Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Xiao Wolf took out three small stones, put one first, and said with a smile: "The people selected by He Ruobi are all Zisai people, and they are honest people, basically farmers, miners, etc.; Of course, there are some hunters in the mountains, but most of them are so poor that they can't afford to eat or marry a daughter-in-law. It can be said that the soldiers he selected were originally ordinary people. ”

Yang Tingfeng nodded silently and said with a smile: "The soldiers trained in this way pay more attention to strict step-by-step obedience, and they all value their brothers and superiors. As long as the officers are sincere to each other, they can treat you sincerely, and everyone is like brothers. However, the shortcomings are also obvious, most of these people are honest farmers, and when they go to the battlefield, they are easily timid and afraid of war, and they can't withstand the battle. ”

Xiao Wolf smiled bitterly when he heard this: "That's right, but it's me, or I'd rather be an ordinary man and be a vulgar." ”

"I'd rather be an ordinary man than a vulgar man!" Yang Tingfeng raised his hand and made a gesture to continue.

Xiao Wolf took out a triangular stone, put it on the desk, and said, "This Elo Dazang is also a new pawn." It's just that although the 120 soldiers, 24 commanders, and 12 commanders he newly selected came from the Xianbei tribes, they had a few things in common. ”

"Oh? How do they all work together? Yang Tingfeng was unexpected, his two eyebrows fluttered, and he said curiously.

Xiao Wolf said: "They were all born after the Xuanzheng year, young, capable, and have excellent physical strength; All members can ride horses and can graze; With the exception of a few, most of them have hunted in the mountains and worked as hunters. Then he looked at Yang Tingfeng with shining eyes and added: "I am very optimistic about him." ”

Yang Tingfeng suddenly said: "I see, with this natural advantage, Da Zang's cavalry and archery troops seem to be able to be formed the fastest. ”

Then he asked with interest: "But I don't know which ...... Bo Xi Zhezhe chosen"

Speaking of Bo Xi Zhezhe, Xiao Wolf suddenly smiled.

Yang Tingfeng noticed Xiao Wolf's expression, and became more interested, and said hurriedly: "Say!" ”

Xiao Wolf took out the sheepskin bag from his waist, drank the water and wine in it with a grunt, and said with a smile: "This Bo Xi, if you want the position of 'riding and shooting Sima', you are almost crazy. But whenever there is an opportunity, no matter what means, it will be used. ”

After that, he took a sip of wine, shook his head again, and said: "This Bo Xi, I don't know where to find a batch of bearded veterans, all martial arts are strong, and the archery skills are accurate, not to mention this riding and archery kung fu." Xiao Mou said bluntly, if the old man wants to use it tomorrow, these people can go to the battlefield immediately. ”

Yang Tingfeng, who said this, was stunned, couldn't believe it, slowed down, and said with a smile: "This Bo Xi captive, it's okay!" ”

Xiao Wolf lightly stretched out two fingers and said coldly: "I asked these veterans privately, and they said bluntly that they came for double the military salary and special allowances. But in fact, in Xiao's view, the reason why they voluntarily returned to the barracks was for two reasons. ”

Yang Tingfeng was slightly surprised and asked, "What are the two major reasons?" ”

Xiao Wolf coughed dryly: "First, I have been idle at home for a long time, my hands are itchy, and I want to kill someone!" You must know that although these people have long since retired from the army, and now they are in the inner city of Zisai, they are also married and prosperous, who is willing to fight for those two taels of silver? ”

At this time, even Yang Tingfeng felt strange, and he said heavily: "What I said is that the people in the inner city do some casual work, and they have an income of three to four taels a month, to say the least." We stinky soldiers, one tael of silver a month, and the court is often innocently in arrears, even if it is doubled, it is only two taels, why bother? ”

Xiao Wolf sighed and said, "This is not the most fatal, more trouble is yet to come!" ”

Hearing that Xiao Wolf wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Tingfeng frowned and asked, "More troublesome?" ”

Xiao Wolf put the last pebble on the desk and pointed: "These veterans are very high, they look down on new soldiers, they don't want to be with those farmers who are untrained, unbattled, and lack fighting spirit. When it comes to really fighting, they hope that the people around them who are fighting side by side are heroes and heroes, iron-blooded veterans who have survived a hundred battles, not these who plough the fields and hunt. ”

Yang Tingfeng rubbed his hands and said distressedly: "It seems that there is such a statement...... Veterans disdain to be in the company of new recruits! That's a problem. This is not a sentence that can be restrained according to military law. ”

Xiao Wolf was also very annoyed, and said with a bitter face: "When I was in the forbidden army, there was a very famous military ballad, do you want to know?" ”

Yang Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's not a good rumor to listen to, hum and listen." ”

"Tune in, Xiao has forgotten!" Xiao Wolf coughed dryly and said: "It roughly means that our town soldiers look down on the state and county soldiers, the state and county soldiers look down on the forbidden army, the forbidden army discriminates against the northern army, and the northern army despise........s the southern army."

"Huh? And what about the Southern Soldiers? Yang Tingfeng was surprised, and said with a smile: "What about the Southern Army? ”

Xiao Wolf sneered: "The Southern Army thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and no one can look down on him!" ”

Yang Tingfeng's lips appeared with a smile that was almost ridiculous, and he said with a smile: "It's no wonder that people can brag about themselves, thinking that back then, Chen Qingzhi of the Southern Dynasty experienced 47 battles with 7,000 white-robed people, pacified 32 cities, and went forward, as if entering a no-man's land, almost beating the contemporary famous generals of my Northern Dynasty one by one." If it weren't for the flash flood in Artemisia High, who would have been able to clean him up? ”

Xiao Wolf smiled, noncommittal.

The two got up, looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the account side by side, but their minds returned to the desirable more than fifty years ago......

Yang Tingfeng said it well, it coincided with the civil strife in the Northern Dynasty at that time, and Xiao Yan of the Southern Dynasty did not think about the Northern Expedition, but the Southern Liang accumulated many evils, and the emperor practiced Buddhism, causing the whole country to worship Buddhism.

There is a poem that says:

Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind.

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

From the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the unification of the Sui Dynasty, it was about one hundred and seventy years. In just over a hundred years, four dynasties have been replaced like a marquee, such a chaotic historical period, people are in panic all day long, and the ruler still has the leisure to build a large number of Buddhist temples?

In order to repair the Buddhist temple, 'Xiao Bodhisattva' spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and money. Even if there was a large-scale uprising in the Six Towns in the Northern Dynasty, civil strife in the imperial court, and Er Zhurong's wanton massacre of the Northern Wei royal family, the Southern Dynasty was unable to support the large-scale Northern Expedition.

Therefore, in this context, Xiao Bodhisattva could only use a small force to conduct small-scale local wars in the towns on the north-south border.

Later, Yuan Hao, the king of the Beihai Sea of Wei, surrendered to Liang due to the chaos of his dynasty and asked the Liang Dynasty to send troops to help him become emperor.

This gave Xiao Bodhisattva a new idea of intervening in the Northern Dynasty, out of strategic considerations, Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, took Yuan Hao as the king of Wei, and Chen Qingzhi as a fake festival and a brave general, and led his troops to escort Yuan Hao back to the north.

However, Nanliang did not have money and food to support large-scale military operations. With a speculative attitude of trying it out, Xiao Yan only sent Chen Qingzhi to lead his 7,000 white-robed troops to go, but the result was that the military myth of the famous general Mo Zijail, and thousands of troops avoided the white-robed army.

A.D. 529: Chen Qingzhi crossed the border, captured the Northern Wei City, and quickly marched north, to Suiyang City, Wei Shou general Qiu Daqian with 70,000 people, divided into nine fortresses to resist, Chen Qing one day to defeat three, Qiu Daqian surrendered.

In April of the same year: Yuan Huiye, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led 20,000 Yulin Shuzi to rescue Suiyang and stationed his troops in Kaocheng; The city is surrounded by water on all sides, and Chen Qingzhi ordered people to float on the water to build a fortress, conquer it in a battle, and capture Yuan Huiye.

May: Chen Qingyi traveled west and came to the city of Xingyang. At this time, several northern armies that came from all walks of life had been assembled, totaling more than 300,000, and seeing that the enemy army was strong, someone suggested that Chen Qingzhi retreat.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qingzhi said to everyone: "Since I have done this, I have slaughtered the city and the land, which is really a lot; Waiting for the king to kill his father and brother, and ignore the children, it is not counted. The people of Tianmu are not enemies. We only have 7,000 people, and more than 300,000 captives. I take the captives to ride the plains, and before the end of the front, must level its fortresses, all the kings have no false suspicions, and slaughter themselves. ”

After these words, all the subordinates took the lead, and Chen Qingzhi led the army to conquer Xingyang in a battle.

After that, Chen Qingzhi sent people to the Tiger Prison Pass to get closer, and the guard general Zhu Shilong hurriedly abandoned the pass, and the white-robed army approached the eastern capital Luoyang.

In June 529 AD, Zhu Rong of the Northern Wei Dynasty returned to Luoyang, known as a million soldiers, thousands of generals, Chen Qingzhi led the white robe army to garrison the north end of the Yellow River Bridge, blocking the enemy head-on, Yuan Hao's 100,000 army was stationed in Luoyang on the south bank.

In the first battle of the gods, Chen Qingzhi launched eleven attacks on Er Zhurong in three days, killing and wounding very seriously, and Er Zhurong's million-strong army was defeated, so he retreated and avoided the edge. With less than 10,000 people, the army of one million has been shaken head-on, and there is only one person who has been up and down for 5,000 years.

But in the south, Yuan Hao's 100,000 troops were defeated by Er Zhu Zhao and He Basheng, and only a hundred horsemen fled back to Luoyang. In isolation, Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army was also defeated. In the end, when he encountered a flash flood, the whole army was annihilated, and Chen Qingzhi sneaked back to Jiangnan alone.

From the Northern Expedition in October 528 A.D. to the defeat in leap June in 529 A.D., since Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition with 7,000 people, in more than 140 days, after 47 battles of all sizes, 32 cities were conquered, and he was invincible.

A thousand years later, the famous great man, after 20 years away from the days of Rong Ma and the handsome, wrote in Wuchang, Hubei: "Read this biography again, and be fascinated by it." Whose biography made the leader of the "Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in the Dung Year" read and read again and again, and was fascinated?
