Chapter 14: I'm so happy today
The newly built Yulin Right Guard Army had a full establishment of 20,000 people, but due to the extraordinary period of wartime, Chen Qingzhi and Cao Shen racked their brains to raise more than 2,000 troops in a few days.
It was by relying on the strength of this new army that a part of the enemy's baggage, grain, grass, and supplies were exhausted.
For the Chu army, they couldn't figure out where this team came from, and they were able to avoid the eyes of their own scouts.
As everyone knows, this army, interspersed with mountains and forests, took great risks, and made a rapid march to detour for more than 100 miles before arriving here.
As the saying goes, after burning all the grain and grass of the Chu army, Chen Qingzhi and others did not fall in love with the battle, and withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner.
In the big tent of the Chu army, Xiang Nantian, the marshal of the Chu State, was particularly surprised after learning about this incident, and hurriedly convened the generals in the tent to discuss.
Xiang Nantian drew a map on the table, and after figuring out the marching route of Chen Qingzhi and others, he sighed: "In the Wei Kingdom, I am afraid that there are high-ranking people. Being able to find this time, when we were tired, suddenly surprise the army, and burn at all costs part of the grain and grass we had hoarded in the rear army, thinking that it would make me wait for the supply to run out of supplies and retreat. ”
He had already sent an army to encircle the strange army of Wei, but he had already expected in his heart that since he dared to come, there must be a way to go, and by now that he got the news, I am afraid that it will be too late.
At this time, someone echoed him and said: "What the marshal said is right, if you can suddenly launch a surprise attack on us at this juncture, you must be a person who is very good at fighting with soldiers."
But in the territory of Wei, there is a military god Meng Haoran, who is known as the invincible and undefeated, all died in our hands, as far as I know, who else in Wei except for the young general Xiao Yuming is a knowing soldier?
This Xiao Yuming is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, even if he is rushing to the capital now, I'm afraid it will take some time, right?"
Someone blurted out: "Could it be Chen Qingzhi who broke my vanguard a few days ago?"
Xiang Nantian heard the sound and thought for a moment, then said: "It may not be him, according to the report from the spies, this Chen Qingzhi has never been on the battlefield, and he can break my vanguard army, thanks to the white-robed young general who is good at using spears and the great prince who has been hiding himself for many years. ”
Obviously, Chu Jun learned the news from the capital, knew the existence of the great prince Zhao Changqing, and knew that he had been hiding himself for many years, and now he is a blockbuster, and he is hot in the Great Wei Temple.
"Could it be the Great Prince?" someone suddenly exclaimed.
Because he also learned some things, he thought that without the advice of the prince of Great Wei, Chen Qingzhi would not be able to break his own vanguard army on his own.
"Now is not the time to jump to conclusions. ”
As soon as Xiang Nantian finished saying this, a scout came to report from outside the tent, and the scout brought him a letter, which was nothing more than writing about the situation in the capital of Wei.
But two sentences are particularly emphasized in the letter.
It is said that these two sentences were spread in the court and widely circulated among scholars, and these two sentences are the two sentences said by Zhao Changqing, the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty:
"A soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”
"Good at scheming. ”
Xiang Nantian stared at these two sentences in the letter, and was silent for a long time, he thought of the strange actions of the outstanding soldiers of the Wei State today, plus these two sentences in the letter, even if he was a fool, he knew what the connection was.
"This prince of Wei is really a soldier! If this person is not eliminated and then quickly, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing for my Chu State! Once his wings are abundant, I am afraid that my Chu State will no longer have a chance to plot against Wei State!"
Xiang Nantian said earnestly.
When he said this, he didn't expect and didn't notice the expressions of the generals in the tent looking at each other, how could the enemy who could get so much attention from Generalissimo Xiang be a general?
While Wei is the great prince, he can still hide himself for many years and suddenly make a fortune, can this kind of person not be terrible?
Gradually, in the entire Chu State Central Army Tent, from the general to the soldiers, more or less, there was talk of Zhao Changqing.
But what about Zhao Changqing now?
Still sleeping leisurely at home.
His biggest hope in this life is to be able to salt fish like now.
There is nothing that can reflect the value of life better than salted fish.
It's nothing more than two words: 'comfortable'.
Chen Qingzhi and his subordinates, because they came and went quickly, and with the help of the scheming Cao Shen, they naturally avoided the enemy's heavy interception, and after one night, they returned to the capital smoothly.
After returning to the capital, in order to prevent the enemy from being angry and taking the opportunity to counterattack, Cao Shen deliberately stayed on the top of the city to watch the enemy's movements.
After returning to Beijing, Chen Qingzhi asked his soldiers to return to the camp to rest.
After all, although there were no heavy casualties in this raid, every soldier, physically and mentally, was already overworked.
After arranging all this, he couldn't wait to enter the palace and inform the emperor and the eldest prince of this good news.
After the Great Wei Emperor heard the news, Long Yan was happy.
In fact, he also learned the results of Chen Qingzhi's raid through the intelligence department that only accepted his direct management.
It's just that I didn't expect that this kid who said that he was going to train outside the city would dare to run to sneak attack the enemy's grain and grass.
However, as long as the battle is won.
If you win a battle, you will be rewarded.
What Wei urgently needs now is victory to boost the morale of the army and the people.
What's more, as far as this matter is concerned, Chen Qingzhi can't be regarded as a disobedience to the yang and yin, after all, he will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, and a sneak attack on the enemy army can also be said to be part of the training of new soldiers!
It's just that the Great Wei Emperor still wants to ask clearly, "Chen Qingzhi, how did you remember yesterday's raid on the enemy's rear grain and grass?"
Chen Qingzhi did not shy away from saying: "Back to Your Majesty, it is because of the great prince's good scheming that the last general suddenly opened his mouth, and he thought of this strategy, which made the enemy's current situation even worse." ”
At this time, someone came to report, and the emperor got the news from him, and the army of Chu began to retreat again, and the battle line was gradually lengthened, which was used to alleviate the current urgent need - the grain and grass were burned.
The elongation of the battle line is enough to show that there is a problem with the other side's logistics, and it is a big problem, so they urgently need the supply of the rear, and only by thoroughly spreading out the army can the safety of the supply line be guaranteed in a certain sense.
In any case, hearing the news of the retreat of the enemy army was a good thing for the Wei state.
Emperor Dawei took a deep look at Chen Qingzhi, and said in his heart: "It's because of the boss again!" Then he forcibly left him behind, and let him rest and bathe in the palace, and gave the palace maid at night, but Chen Qingzhi refused.
He just wants to tell the eldest prince the good news now, to make him happy and happy, and to let him know that he is not alone, even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty do not understand his deep meaning, he will stand firmly in front of him and go to the soup for him.
But I can't help but disobey the emperor's order, not to mention, resting in the palace, which is a supreme honor.
When he saw that Chen Qingzhi was not moved by beauty, Emperor Great Wei knew that he despised the other party.
Look at such a person, he has never become his own henchman, he, after his own kindness, is still willing to fight with the boss for a future with almost no tomorrow...
I have to say that this is really incredible and incomprehensible.
It was early the next morning.
After Chen Qingzhi rested after a long journey, His Majesty the Emperor ordered hundreds of civil and military officials to urgently go to the court.
Among them, there is naturally Zhao Changqing, who has not woken up yet, and after he came to the main hall, he wanted to scold his mother angrily.
This world is not good at this, every time the time of the early dynasty is too early, especially during this period, the national disaster is at the head, this early dynasty has almost not been broken every day, it is simply not a human life, it is too much, and when he relies on the system to become an emperor in the future, he must change the rules of the early dynasty.
Maybe you can also use this to collect a wave of mediocrity, isn't it beautiful?
Just when the more he thought about it, the happier he became, the emperor, who had omitted a lot of red tape and etiquette, didn't let the ministers speak, and said directly: "The good news brought by General Chen yesterday, I guess you don't know about it yet, right?"
When Emperor Wei said the word 'good news', his tone was deliberately a little heavier.
The sound of needles falling in the main hall can be heard.
These civil and military ministers were speculating in their hearts what kind of good news it was, and it was possible to make His Majesty the Emperor suddenly summon his ministers to the court.
Obviously, Zhao Changqing didn't know either.
Because the Great Wei Emperor deliberately blocked the news, many people couldn't know what happened in advance, but some people guessed something from the sudden retreat of the Chu State.
But Zhao Changqing was still sleepy, and he was dazed when he heard that his father's tone was too heavy when he said the word good news, and it seemed to be not good, so he thought that there was a problem with the establishment of the new army, and he immediately became happy.
I couldn't help but be ecstatic in my heart:
It's coming, it's coming.
What should have come is still coming.
Sure enough, the ancients did not deceive me, and the mediocrity will never be absent, at most it is just late!
His Royal Highness has long thought about it, relying on Chen Qingzhi and Cao Shen, the two people can build the new army well?
No, it's a mediocre value, it can be less?
Unconsciously, Zhao Changqing straightened his waist and looked at the many civil and military ministers with a heroic posture, looking particularly confident.
From now on, there is no need to worry about living in the palace and temples, and from time to time someone will release cold arrows that threaten their lives, as for the rivers and lakes?
Chen Qingzhi watched from the sidelines, and after seeing the extremely confident and knowing expression of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, he suddenly felt admiration and muttered:
"It is worthy of His Royal Highness, he is really wise and martial, and everything is the first thing!
Thinking that His Highness must have known what I was doing for a long time, and showed this expression indifferently, isn't this just saying that everything is in His Highness's control?
This is a confident and commanding performance!
His Royal Highness the Great Prince is indeed a soldier in the world, and I can serve as a dog and horse by His Royal Highness's side in this life, even if I die without regrets. ”
