Chapter 13: The Soldier Who Surrendered Without a Fight
So far, Zhao Changqing is still immersed in the joy of mediocrity that he is about to obtain.
According to the normal development, they have adopted their own opinions, and they will definitely be defeated and return to the south, and the capital will not be guaranteed at that time, and the final result is not to move the capital?
After moving the capital, can there be no mediocrity?
It's exciting to think about.
Zhao Changqing hadn't seen Chen Qingzhi for several days, and it was said that he was now inseparable from Cao Shen, and they were both busy preparing for the establishment of the new army.
After Zhao Changqing learned the news, he couldn't stop laughing.
A fledgling, blind cat meets a dead mouse, a half-hung general, a second-generation official who can be called a hereditary replacement of wine bags and rice bags, can this pair establish a new army?
I'm afraid it's also vulnerable!
When the time comes, there will definitely be a wave of mediocrity.
Alas.
The task issued by the system is really not challenging at all.
It seems that the life of this prince has been completed.
On Baihu Street in Beijing, Yulin Right Guard built a new camp, and Cao participated in Chen Qingzhi standing on the high platform, carefully observing the brave drills of more than 2,000 people urgently gathered from the audience.
In the past few days, Cao's relationship with Chen Qingzhi has risen sharply after running-in, and now it can be called a pair of year-old friends who meet each other late.
"Brother Cao, as of now, our new army is a little hot, and it is already a fierce beast with fangs. Chen Qingyi was dressed in a white robe, standing in front of thousands of troops, and his self-confidence was extremely bursting.
Cao Shen also sighed: "Yes, in less than seven days, it is unimaginable to rejuvenate a much-criticized team."
But Keizhi, I still have a question, who initiated this one-week devil training camp program for recruits? If it is used to train recruits, it is simply perfect. ”
After Chen Qingzhi heard this, he laughed twice and said, "The person who created this method is His Royal Highness the Great Prince. On that day, when I asked the Great Prince to teach the military formation academics, the Great Prince was inspired by it, and he was drunk and innovated the law, which can be described as a heavenly man. ”
Cao Shen was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince really knew the soldiers.
After Chen Qingzhi saw Cao Shen's surprised and stunned expression, he was no longer surprised, in the past few days, he had instilled all of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, who was infinitely close to perfection in his mind.
Therefore, in the hearts of the two of them, he felt that His Royal Highness the Great Prince was the first perfect person in the ages, and he was omnipotent in the art of war, vertical and horizontal.
It's like a man of God.
He is about to become a man of God.
After Cao Shen was stunned, he told Chen Qingzhi about the art of war that the eldest prince talked about in the court today, that is, those one or two sentences.
He has the status of a protector and can go to the court to listen to politics, but because his official position is a military general, he has no right to speak, unless His Majesty the Emperor names him to discuss politics.
Other than that, there is only silence.
After Chen Qingzhi chewed on the two sentences spoken by the eldest prince repeatedly, his heart suddenly cleared, as if he had realized something, he was extremely excited and couldn't wait to say:
"The eldest prince is really a soldier saint in the living world! Why didn't I think of it? It's really stupid, no, I'm going to enter the palace to face the saint and place the new army outside the city for training!"
Cao Shen didn't know why, and just wanted to ask, but heard him say again: "It's too late, when I come back, I'm telling Brother Cao the reason." ”
Cao Shen looked at Chen Qingzhi's back running away with a confused expression, the word training in the wild, he heard Chen Qingzhi say in the past few days, according to him, this is also the method of training soldiers created by the eldest prince.
But the key point is that at present, the enemy army is eyeing the outside of the city, and at this time, going outside the city for training will it be in a sense to find death?
After Chen Qingzhi entered the palace, he expressed his thoughts to His Majesty the Emperor, and the Emperor was worried for a moment, so he agreed to Chen Qingzhi's application, because he felt that Chen Qingzhi would not joke about his political future.
What's more, he is still the boss's right-hand man, and he should be aware of his importance, so he should have considered the consequences of this so-called field training.
During this period, he wanted to see the eldest prince, but after seeing that it was getting late, he did not go, because the opportunity could not be lost, otherwise he would live up to the 'good intentions' of His Royal Highness.
Those of us who are subordinates are not as capable as the master, so how dare we let the assists be distracted and worried?
Your Royal Highness, you see, this time, Qingyi will follow your ideas and make the enemy suffer!
After returning to the barracks, Chen Qingzhi asked Cao Shen to gather the army, and he couldn't help but say that under his guidance, 2,300 people marched out of the city, all of them were majestic and high-spirited, so that the onlookers were shocked in their hearts.
What kind of army is this, with such style?
Wait, isn't the general in the lead Chen Qingzhi who broke the enemy army a few days ago?
It is said that he is a subordinate of the Great Prince?
After Chen Qingzhi led the troops out of the capital, he said to Cao Shen: "I have to be reminded by Brother Cao today, otherwise Qingzhi will almost cause a catastrophe and miss the opportunity." ”
Cao Shen said inexplicably: "What kind of opportunity?"
He always felt that Chen Qingzhi was mysterious today.
Chen Qingzhi replied: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince said that he is good at scheming, what does this mean? It means that he wants to take the enemy by surprise and use stratagem to repel the enemy's army, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. ”
"But what does this have to do with our trip out of the city?" Cao Shen didn't understand.
Chen Qingzhi showed a confident smile and said: "Every word that the eldest prince says has a deep meaning, His Royal Highness is really a rare person of great talent and strategy in thousands of years, he is weak above the court, fighting alone, and openly contradicting the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, is this stupid?"
Absolutely not! I guess it was the prince who felt that now was the best time to use the enemy's army, so he didn't care about offending the Manchu civil and military forces, but also told them what he thought. But how can these ministers know the art of war and warfare? Those two sentences that the eldest prince said are enough for them to guess for a lifetime!"
Cao Shen frowned, as if he had thought of something, "You want to..."
Before the words were finished, he was interrupted by Chen Qingzhi, who faced more than 2,000 brave warriors in front of him and said loudly: "Soldiers, the Chu State has traveled thousands of miles to our Great Wei, just to occupy our land and cut off our vitality.
As we all know, the Chu State is coming to invade, and the supply lines needed are very long, they have been in Great Wei for too long, and now is the time when the soldiers are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and it is also the moment when they are most lax, are you willing to travel a hundred miles with me, burn their grain and grass, and let them break themselves?"
"Willing to go!"
"Willing to go!"
More than 2,000 soldiers roared in unison.
Cao Shen was stunned for a moment, rushing to fight, this Chen Qingzhi is really guts!
The newly built Yulin Right Guard Army, under the leadership of Chen Qingzhi, began to unload its baggage and march in a hurry.
On the way, Cao Shen asked: "How did General Chen think that he was going to take the enemy army by surprise today and prepare to burn the enemy's grain and grass?" Are you sure?"
Chen Qingzhi said confidently: "Of course there are, there are three reasons, one is that the enemy army has been accumulating troops outside the capital for a long time, and their hearts have long been sleepy, and they only think that if they surround our city, we will have nothing to do."
They also think that we can only be a turtle with a shrunken head, and dare not go out of the city to declare war on them, and they certainly did not expect that we would surprise today without warning.
Second, a few days ago, they broke the enemy's vanguard so that the enemy army did not dare to advance easily, and they must have been brewing a big plan these days, and they had no time to think about anything else.
The third and most important reason is that the eldest prince actually expected the first two points a long time ago, so he risked being opposed by hundreds of civil and military officials, and said that sentence of good strategy.
What is the best strategy? It is to seek victory in the war at the lowest cost, and what is the minimum cost? It is to deprive the enemy army of the supply of grain and grass and supplies, so that they are forced to retreat.
It is a pity that no one in the Manchu Dynasty understood the true meaning of the prince, so that the prince was disheartened, so he retreated from the court.
Therefore, as the people of the eldest prince, it is our duty to share the worries of the lord, and I will think of giving the eldest prince a surprise and burning the enemy's grain and grass. ”
When Cao Shen participated in the court meeting, he deliberately paid attention to Zhao Changqing's movements, so he found that he went around the back of the pillar when the princes were discussing hotly.
He told Chen Qingzhi about this.
Chen Qingzhi thought in his heart that it was the eldest prince who felt that he was soft-spoken and that what he said was not taken seriously, so he had the heart to retreat!
There is no saddest thing for having great talents but not paying attention to them.
I really feel sorry for the eldest prince.
Cao Shen realized in his heart, and admired the eldest prince and Chen Qingzhi even more.
Yulin's right guard marched in a hurry, a distance of about more than 100 miles, which should have taken nearly two days to reach, but was shortened by them by six or seven."
Moreover, the place where the attack was carried out was also full of ruggedness, mostly valleys and dense forests, which was extremely difficult to walk, and also thanks to the complex terrain, not even a single enemy scout could be found on the road.
When he arrived at the place where the local grain and grass were hoarded, Chen Qingzhi ordered the newly established Yuyou Guard army to rush up, more than 2,000 people, everyone held a bow, and the rocket jumped over, and the grain and grass exposed in the camp were shot by the rocket, and gradually ignited a raging flame.
At this time, the remaining enemies in the enemy's grain and grass camp exploded one by one.
Before they could prepare to deal with the enemy attack, Chen Qingzhi had already killed and led his men and horses to kill them.
The rapid march perfectly avoided the main force of the enemy's army, bypassed the main tent of the enemy's Chinese army far away, and went straight to their logistics support department, and also ran for the purpose of burning grain and grass instead of fighting the enemy.
When Chen Qingzhi rushed into the enemy camp, he already thought of His Royal Highness the Great Prince's happy expression after knowing about this incident.
His Royal Highness, Qingzhi did not embarrass you, if it weren't for your careful cultivation of Qingzhi for many years, I'm afraid that today, I am far from being able to lead an army alone, so ......
Keizhi will not let you down!
It will definitely let you get what you want, so that the enemy will not attack itself, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight!
