Chapter 274
Yang Wenguang said shyly: "Prince, it's not money!"
"Oh!?" Zhao Qian said in surprise: "It's not money, it's treasure, well, this is normal. After all, Fanzhou is a poor place. It's impossible to say that there is a lot of money, but it's normal to say that there are any novel treasures!"
Yang Wenguang coughed, and was as if he was about to get married. Zhao Qian felt a little moved and understood. "Prince, Mo General was injured when he was surrounded by soldiers. Before the prince rescued the siege, it was quite difficult. Mo General had led people to break through, but unfortunately failed and was almost captured. Fortunately, he was given a barbarian girl in the camp at that time and was able to return to the army. Today, I found out that the former barbarian girl was Liao Chen's sister, and that... Liao Chen had promised to marry his sister to the last general... Mo General really couldn't help but rescue him!"
Zhao Qian laughed and said, "What's the matter? I have long wanted to surrender to Liao Chen, but I've been busy recently and I don't care about him! I agree to this matter! But is your old lady willing to agree?"
When Yang Wenguang heard this, he was happy at first. After hearing Zhao Feng's words, his face immediately collapsed. He said bitterly: "It should be no problem to be a side room!"
Zhao Chen summoned Liao Chen. Liao Chen could see clearly, and he was not willing to die like this, so he readily agreed to Zhao Chen's surrender.
Since he was surrendered, he naturally had to give the other party some sweetness. Zhao Chen appointed Liao Chen as Deputy Captain Ren Yong (the ninth rank) to serve as the commander of the Ruishi Battalion.
The Ruishi Camp was established by Zhao Jin before, and now he has followed suit and let Liao Chen be the commander.
A sharp soldier is an elite soldier!
However, this Ruishi camp was not from the Song people, but selected 800 elite barbarian soldiers from the captives of Fanzhou. Although the equipment and weapons were not given, they were a little stronger than the ordinary Song army. In addition to iron armor and war horses, they had to give strong crossbows and sharp swords.
The reason why Zhao Qian did not give iron armored war horses was not that Zhao Qian had any concerns about the Ruishi Battalion. The barbarian soldiers selected from the Ruishi Battalion not only needed to be strong, but also had to have elderly and young people. The family was held in Zhao Qian's hands. Zhao Qian gave them the courage, but few people dared to make trouble.
The reason for such equipment is that Zhao Jin wanted to use the Ruishi Battalion as the vanguard to attack Anhuazhou. Anhuazhou is in a deep mountain stream. Although the Song army is elite, it is good to have 70% of its combat power when it enters this terrain.
However, in order to prevent Ruishi Battalion from turning against each other, Zhao Chen still sent more than 30 official soldiers to Ruishi Battalion, and Yang Wenguang was the leader. Because of the credit for capturing Liao Chen alive, he was promoted to the next level and served as deputy commander of Ruishi Battalion. Liao Chen and Yang Wenguang were in-laws. Although he knew Zhao Chen's intention, he would be more likely to accept it.
In addition, Zhao Jin also selected two thousand barbarians from the original prisoners to form a servant army, and implemented a system of joint seats. Ten people and one digits escaped, one digits killed! One digit escaped, one digits killed one digits (hundreds)!
In this way, Zhao Jin had two thousand Song troops, two thousand servants, and eight hundred Ruishi camps. Together, there were nearly five thousand men and horses, with great power.
The follow-up defense of Longshui City was taken over by suspicious soldiers brought by Ma Yu.
After two days of rest, the army headed straight to Huaiyuan Village.
When he arrived near Huaiyuan Village, Feng Chang'er also arrived in great silence, making Zhao Jin's think tank even stronger.
There are only four or five hundred barbarians in Huaiyuan Village. When they see this formation, they are so courageous. They have no courage to fight. The Song army is still ten miles away from Huaiyuan Village, and they have already started to transport supplies and are preparing to escape.
The one who served as the pioneer was Chen Qizong, and he was the one who served as the leader of Huaiyuan Village. However, Chen Qizong's record of being the leader of Huaiyuan Village was not good.
For the first time, Feng Chang'er led a 30,000 army downstream, and Chen Qizong had to take his men to give up Huaiyuan Village and retreat to Longshui City with the people.
The second time he was replaced by a wood, which is now Yang Qing set up a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and lost Huaiyuan Village.
Although Chen Qizong later made a military achievement in defending Longshui City with defeated soldiers, Huaiyuan Village was a pain in Chen Qizong's heart. Because of this, Liao Chen originally served as the vanguard, but Chen Qizong strongly asked for the battle, which was why Zhao Chen's approval was approved by Zhao Chen.
Why is Chen Qizong willing to let these barbarian soldiers leave?
If these barbarian soldiers were really allowed to retreat, Chen Qizong would have been slapped in the face by the naked one. Even if Zhao Qian didn't say anything, Chen Qizong would be embarrassed to say anything.
However, although Chen Qizong has a lot of troops, there are two problems. First, there are not many war horses in the Song army, which is a situation where they exist. Chen Qizong has only about forty cavalry under him. No matter how bad the barbarians are, there are still four or five hundred people. If cavalry does not need to chase them, there are now five or six miles, which seems not far away, but there is Longjiang in front of the river in the middle, so it will take several quarters of an hour to cross the river, right? How can infantry chase them?
The second reason is that this situation occurs. Generally, you need to report to Zhao Chen, otherwise you will act without authorization. This matter can be big or small. Shangguan is not a problem, and you have nothing to do. Shangguan is not a problem, but it is possible that you can get rid of an official position if you don’t do it well.
Chen Qizong thought for a while, gritted his teeth, found the deputy general, and said, "The barbarians in Huaiyuan Village are going to retreat! They can't leave so easily!"
The deputy general asked with a puzzled look: "So what does the general mean?"
Chen Qizong said: "I have been stationed in Huaiyuan Village all year round. I know that there is a section of Longjiang River here that is smooth and it is winter now. Although there is a lot of winter, the river has also narrowed. There is no problem with wading through the river with war horses!"
"What? General, do you mean to lead the cavalry alone? This is unreasonable! If the prince knows this, he will punish the general? The order given to us is just to take down Huaiyuan Village. Why do you have to do so many things?" The deputy general was shocked and quickly dissuaded.
Perhaps because of his inappropriate position and the defeat of the Northern Expedition of Liao, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty restricted the army even more than the era of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. When Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, he also followed his father's will, and there was no need to say that Emperor Renzong of Song was filial to his children! How could he change the policies set by his grandfather and father?
This also led to the rigidity of the Song army at that time, and even the army went on an expedition. The emperor gave you a formation map and asked you to go to the battlefield to form a formation to fight the enemy according to the formation map. Although this matter is no longer so deceptive now, it is impossible to say that the policy will improve suddenly.
Chen Qizong said toughly: "If the prince has any punishment, I will take it with all my strength! After I leave, you will be responsible for the affairs in the army!"
"General, this is too risky! He has only more than forty cavalry to charge in the formation. What if he is left in it? Don't the general want to think about his mother, wife and children at home? How sad they will be!" Seeing that he could not persuade Chen Qizong on military orders, the deputy general immediately changed his strategy and persuaded Chen Qizong from the perspective of family affection.
After hearing this, Chen Qizong said that it was impossible to say that it was not hesitation, but he quickly regained his position. "A man died in the border, and was buried in a horse and was buried in a body! How could he cherish his body when he was on the battlefield, thinking about his wife and children?"
The deputy general had no choice but to send someone to tell Zhao Qian about this situation, and on the other hand, he watched Chen Qizong mobilize more than 40 cavalrymen and leave after he beat the horses.
Zhao Qian was shocked when he received the news. He admired Chen Qizong very much and wanted to train him by his side. Chen Qizong must be capable, talented and talented. Although in terms of his achievements since joining the army, Chen Qizong lost more than he won, and seemed incompetent! But Zhao Qian saw a perseverance in Shen Qizong.
After losing Huaiyuan Village, Zhang Hanyang was defeated by An Huaman in Sanhe Village. It was Chen Qizong who defended the city with injuries and led the way to boost morale. It should be noted that a few days ago, Chen Qizong only met a failure. If an ordinary person was replaced by such a blow, how could it be unaffected?
I think Gongsun Zan among the Three Kingdoms is also considered a hero. He attacked the Hu people in the north and resisted Yuan Shao in the south. He occupied the four states at the most powerful time. But after being defeated by Yuan Shao, he built a tower and stood firm on it. Even if the enemy came, he would put down a bamboo basket on the tower and communicate with his subordinates, just like an ostrich burying his head in sand.
There is no need to say much about the outcome of Gongsun Zan's later.
With both civil and military affairs and this unyielding resilience, Zhao Qin was afraid that he would defeat Chen Qizong. At that moment, Zhao Qin started his personal guards and cavalry, totaling 200 cavalry. Without any explanation, he headed straight to Huaiyuan Village.
However, after Chen Qizong found a suitable section of the river, he endured the cold river water and crossed the river, he saw the barbarians withdraw from Huaiyuan Village.
At that moment, a general came up to fight: "Prince, the enemy has just left half of the city. We will fight out at this time, just in time, and it will be a big victory as mentioned in the art of war!"
Chen Qizong shook his head and refused, "You seem to be right, but in fact it is not. If we fight out at this time, we will lose our suddenness. The other party has a city wall to support. At most, we will kill some people and retreat. After those barbarians are prepared, they will use more than 40 cavalry to rush forward. Even if they win, they will win miserably!"
After a pause, Chen Qizong continued, "When these barbarian soldiers leave the city, we will come out again. Don't kill those who have treasures there and kill those barbarians who set out lightly. People are lucky enough to see that they are not at risk, and they will not abandon gold, silver and fine softness when they see that they are not at risk."
The general hesitated and said, "General, we soldiers are all working with our heads. If nothing is seized, I'm afraid the boys below will have any objections!"
Chen Qizong chuckled disapprovingly and said, "Why don't you think about it? When we kill all the barbarian soldiers who are lightly equipped, can these barbarian soldiers with heavy gold, silver and softness go there? Don't forget that we are four legs, will they be thrown away?"
