"Rolling water in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes, right and wrong turn the head of the void..." In the long history of the Chinese nation, many heroic figures have been produced, but in the eyes of people, people are inferior: they are famous.
In real history, qin qiong and wei chigong, the number one fierce generals in the Sui and Tang dynasties, were far less powerful in people's minds than others. It has been suppressed for thousands of years by the characters who have been fabricated in these commentaries; there are many more such characters... Because the general public is more comfortable with the things said in operas and novels. Today we will talk about the unborn famous player - Chen Qingzhi.
Yuwen Chengdu
Chen Qingzhi ______ Weak in body, not good at riding horses, even ordinary crossbows are difficult to pull open, but bold, good at planning.
Xiao Yan, the twenty-fifth grandson of Xiao He, who had followed Xiao He of the Western Han Dynasty since childhood, and Xiao Yan of Botong Literature and History, because he liked to play chess very much, so Chen Qingzhi, in order to make the leader happy, often played against each other day and night, so he was deeply loved by Xiao Yan, after Xiao Yan established the Southern Dynasty Liang regime. Chen Qingzhi scattered his family wealth to recruit talents for Emperor Wu of Liang, but he remained obscure, and Xiao Yan later made him "Feng Chao Please" (preferential treatment for idle officials).
Heroes will always be useful, Chen Qingzhi was 41 years old, when the Northern Wei Xuzhou Assassin Shi Yuanfa monk rebellion failed, and was annexed to the Liang Dynasty; Chen Qingzhi was ordered to lead 2,000 men and horses to escort Xiao Zong into the town of Xuzhou, and Northern Wei sent 20,000 horses to attack the city, camped outside the city, Chen Qingzhi forced his military camp, and defeated it in a battle. Since then, he has officially begun his military career.
In 528, civil unrest broke out in Northern Wei, and Emperor Wu of Liang, out of strategic considerations, supported Yuan Hao, the king of Wei Beihai, to claim the title of emperor at Zhuoshui, and asked Chen Qingzhi to lead 7,000 men and horses to escort Yuan Hao to the north, and Liang's army went all the way to the northern expedition. According to historical records, Chen Qingzhi set out from Chengxian County to Luoyang with a crowd of 7,000, and there was no defeat in 47 hard battles before and after, and 32 cities were attacked. When Chen Qingzhi invaded Luoyang, the capital of the State of Wei, there were rumors everywhere in the city that "the famous general Mo Zi was imprisoned, and thousands of troops and horses avoided white robes" (Chen Qingzhi and his subordinates all wore white robes)
First, the subordinates have cohesion and vow to live and die together
According to the Book of Liang, when Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition captured Xingyang, five hundred people were killed, and the main generals (about 300 people) under him knelt in front of Yuan Hao's tent together and demanded to kill Yang Yu, the defender of Xingyang, but Yuan Hao cherished Yang Yu's talent and could not bear to kill him, and begged the people to remove Yang Yu from his post, but Yang Yu's main subordinates, a total of 37 people, did not have such good luck and were eaten by the belly. This incident shows the cruelty of the war, and at the same time, it also shows that Chen Qingzhi's men have strong feelings for each other and are as close as brothers.
Second, be good at boosting morale, and will personally command every battle
Because he had been reading poetry and books since childhood and was full of strategy, Chen Qingzhi was very good at words, and whenever there was a war, he would make a generous mobilization of his subordinates. When attacking Xingyang City, the seven thousand soldiers under his command faced a defender ten times larger than themselves, and everyone was very frightened.
Chen Qingzhi did not hesitate to feed his warhorse and said to the crowd: "We attacked the city all the way and killed many innocent civilians. The defenders on the opposite side are enemies of us. We have only seven thousand men, but the enemy has more than three hundred thousand, and in this case, our chances of survival are very small. We can't fight with them on the plains, only by breaking through their fortresses, we have a chance of winning, everyone should not suspect each other, unite to avoid death on the battlefield..." A few words, cut off everyone's fear, escape thoughts, can only put death and rebirth, and then the weak body of him personally beat the drum, only once the drum, Liang army all climbed the city wall .......
Third, there is no worries, every battle is a battle of backwater
Because these seven thousand people were escorting Yuan Hao north to Luoyang, the capital of the Wei state, as emperor, they could only march all the way north without guarding the occupied city; the key point was that this unit had no logistical drag, and it could be said that there was no logistical support, they could only rely on fighting all the way, grabbing wherever they went, eating wherever they went (it is estimated that every time a city is occupied, the spirit and material satisfaction will be greatly satisfied) The soldiers are full of combat effectiveness and full of blood load. Every battle is a life-and-death battle for everyone, and there is no way back.
Fourth, there is strategy and flexibility in fighting wars
When attacking Kaocheng, Kaocheng was surrounded by water on all sides, the guards were very tight, and the subordinates were helpless, Chen Qingzhi's whimsical ordered his men to build a fortress on the water (estimated to be equivalent to today's Zhouqiao troops) to easily capture Kaocheng, and the general Hui Ye was captured, and he also unexpectedly obtained 7,800 car rentals.
However, Chen Qingzhi's myth seems to be fleeting, and after sending Yuan Hao into Luoyang, Northern Wei began to organize military forces throughout the country to counterattack. Chen Qingzhi was eventually defeated by Erzhu Rong's army, and Yuan Hao was captured and killed (Yuan Hao developed suspicion and distrust of Chen Qingzhi, which was also one of the main reasons for the failure). Chen Qingzhi began to retreat to Southern Liang, but on the way back he encountered a flash flood, and the Liang army crossing the river was completely destroyed. Chen Qingzhi survived and fled back to Southern Liang disguised as a monk, and Xiao Yan greatly rewarded him..... He died at the age of 54.
Conclusion: You can imagine what kind of achievements Chen Qingzhi would establish if he had enough troops and logistics in his hands. Unfortunately, he only has seven thousand people, no military resources and logistical support, history has given him a limited stage, limited space for display, and history has no ifs.
The bow could not be opened, and Chen Qingzhi, who was struggling to ride a horse, became the brightest general star in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and his recorded recorded record of the northern return to Luoyang was not inferior to Guan Yu in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" who passed five levels and slashed six generals; Zhao Yun's Changsakapo Battle; Ma Chaotong Guan's trembling and mighty wind..... History may really owe Chen Qing a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Chen Qing, a reader, may not have thought that he would bravely pass it on to future generations because of the war. Do you know Chen Qingzhi? What other reasons do you think there are for "thousands of troops and horses avoiding white robes"? You are welcome to leave a comment.
