Chapter 91: A general will kill the three armies without a plan



The moment he saw Zhang Xiao's body, Cai Jian, who had long been accustomed to life and death, his eyes couldn't help but turn red!

Too heroic!

Zhang Xiao had nearly a hundred traumas on his body, and the arrowheads pulled from him were more than one liter!

Yang Weizhong, Wang Zongqiu and others who saw Zhang Xiao's body, all looked solemn: "It's a real warrior!"

After the war, Cai sent Li Wei back to Yangwu County to report the funeral. Li Wei sent a message to Zhang Xiao's family on behalf of Cai Jian, saying that Cai was still willing to accept Zhang Xiao's two sons Zhang Hu and Zhang Meng as adopted sons.

In addition to accepting Zhang Xiao's two sons as adopted sons, Cai still accepted Wu Di's son Wu Wei as adopted son.

Cai Shen also won the greatest pension for other Jinwu soldiers who died in battle. In addition to the pension given by the court, Cai Shen also gave them a considerable amount of pension.

As for the injured soldiers, Cai still arranged them all to the medical camp and asked Wang Jixian to help the doctors and nurses of the Jinwu Army to do their best to treat them.

Moreover, no matter how busy Cai is, he will take some time every day to come and see them in person and see what they are missing.

Cai still took such meticulous attitude towards the martyrs and disabled people of the Jinwu Army, which made the soldiers of the Jinwu Army more confident in Cai, and Cai's prestige in the Jinwu Army became unshakable. Even if Cai still stood up and shouted: "Who wants to die for me?", a large group of people would definitely stand up.

Cai Shen walked into the medical camp, and everyone greeted Cai Shen, and Cai Shen stopped to chat with him.

It took more than an hour before Cai still came to the place he wanted to come to - Zhai Xing's ward.

Zhai Xing was also injured in this battle, and he was seriously injured. Later, Wang Jixian used the blood transfusion method passed on to him by Cai Shen to save Zhai Xing by chance.

Although Zhai Xing is nearly fifty years old, he is tall and not like the old man in the slightest. After going to the battlefield, he is even more brave than the young man. It can be said that he is not afraid of death.

People also understand military affairs, have learned military strategies, and have certain strategies.

In addition, Zhai Xing was kind to others, and there were also a group of brave and warlike Zhai clan members who helped him. Therefore, Zhai Xing had a high prestige in the Zuoying Camp.

After comprehensive consideration, Cai still decided to let Zhai Xing replace Zhang Xiao as the commander of the Zuoying.

Of course, Cai still made this decision, largely because Zhai Xing, his brother Zhai Jin, and his family were famous anti-Jin generals and anti-Jin clans in history.

Historically.

After the Jingkang shame, the Xijing Luoyang fell into the hands of the Jin people.

In the special historical period when Zhao Gou ran south without hesitating to establish the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin'an, under the strategic situation where the main force of the Song Dynasty's army mainly adopted the strategic situation of protecting the security of the fleeing court in the south, the Song royal tombs in the Central Plains and Gong County were unable to protect. The brothers of Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin led the people of Yichuan, Ruyang and Song County to stand up to defend the Central Plains, fight against the invading enemies without hesitation, and give a powerful blow to the invading Jin soldiers. In order to defend the Yellow River, defend the Central Plains, defend the hometown of Heluo, and protect the Song royal tombs in bloody battles and restraints, disrupting the Jin army's strategy of going south to eliminate the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, winning valuable time for the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, and making immortal contributions.

In order to fight against the Jin soldiers, tens of thousands of Zhai clans in Luonan sacrificed their lives on the battlefield and wrote a tragic epic of defending Chinese civilization with their lives and blood.

Talents like Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and the Zhai family fell into Cai Jian's hands. If Cai Jian didn't value it, wouldn't that be a fool?

Seeing that Cai was still here, Zhai Jin, who came to visit Zhai Xing, Zhai Cong, the son of Zhai Xing who was taking care of Zhai Xing, and many other Zhai family children came out together.

After seeing Cai Jian's courtesy and welcome Cai Jian into Zhai Jin's ward, Zhai Jin looked at Zhai Xing and said to Cai Jian: "Doctor Wang has said that my brother's injury is not serious. He will be cured in a few days. The general is busy with everything he wants, so he really doesn't need to waste precious time on my brother."

Cai still said: "I not only look at your brother, but also others."

As he spoke, Cai still came to Zhai Xing's bedside.

Seeing this, Zhai Xing wanted to get up.

However, he was still stopped by Cai.

Cai still said: "Don't move, you will have to take care of the wound for a while. I'm still waiting for you to help me rebuild Zuoying."

Zhai Cong and others were so happy when they heard this!

Cai Jian's words were already so straightforward, how could they not hear it? Cai Jian was planning to let Zhai Xing take over Zhang Xiao?

However, at the same time, Zhai Cong and others were a little worried!

Zhai Xing was seriously injured and inconvenient to speak. Zhai Jin asked for Zhai Xing, Zhai Cong and others: "General, it is a bit difficult for me to serve as the head of the capital, so isn't it... not appropriate to serve as the commander?"

According to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, soldiers could be promoted from the wing army to the imperial guards, from the imperial guards to the upper army, and from the upper army to the emperor's personal army to guard the emperor.

All squads and other military academies have served for a certain period of time or have military achievements to be transferred to official positions. This is also the first obstacle to promotion to military officers.

From a minister to a lieutenant, it is equivalent to the promotion of non-commissioned officers in later army forces as cadres, and they are transferred from Mojian or transferred to a capital.

Of course, according to convention, those who have military merits in war will be given additional officials. If they have military merits, they can even make several funds in one go, or even dozens of funds.

But this is just for those who have backs. Like Cai Jian, he can be promoted to thirteen consecutive capitals due to his military achievements.

But for a person like Zhai Xing who has no back, he can only be promoted to seven consecutive funds at most.

Zhai Xing was born in the Xiang army. Although he had achieved the command position, the imperial guards were different from the Xiang army. Therefore, with Zhai Xing's resume, even if he added the contribution of the siege and the killing of the black tiger with wings, it was barely enough for Zhai Xing to be promoted to the capital, and no matter what, it was not enough for him to command the troops.

Not to mention Zhai Xing, even Zhai Jin was not as good as the head of the Jinwu Army because he had a great deal.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin were poached by Cai Shen, their brothers were still worried and suspicious.

But Cai Shen only said one thing at that time: "You can do it first, and then make up for a formal procedure in the future."

Later, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin realized that it turned out that in the Jinwu Army, Cai still wanted to be an official, whoever wanted to be an official, and he was not at the same level. It didn't matter, he owed it first and just accumulate military merits slowly.

In other words, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin are not isolated cases at all, but rather are common phenomena in the Jinwu Army.

actually--

There is nothing to do if Cai still does this - the Jinwu Army was formed from scratch and rose too fast, so naturally, there will be situations where the officer level cannot keep up.

Therefore, Cai still had to let some people do it first. If the level is not enough, he will owe it first.

Even if others pursue it, it's okay, because Cai still claims to the outside world that it is a temporary agent.

Only the people inside the Jinwu Army knew that Cai still arranged the matter and made a decision. Cai still said what kind of official you are and what kind of official you are.

Not only the official level, but the reward is the same. As long as the person who was awarded the Jinwu Army's assessment is completed, Cai still feels that there is no problem and signs it. The reward (all converted into military tickets) will be issued soon. As long as the military tickets are sent to the Jinwu Army's money house, you can exchange the military tickets for gold and silver at any time.

Of course, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin had known about these secret matters within the Jinwu Army for a long time.

But those are all low-level officers, commanding at the first level, but those who have already entered the grade (from the eighth level, or even the eighth level), will their general dare to operate like this?

Cai still said to Zhai Xing indifferently: "You do it first, and then talk about other things later."

Cai Jian's tone changed and became very serious, and he said, "This time Zuoying was severely damaged, with two or three left. After you recover, you must rebuild Zuoying for me."

Zhai Jin was about to speak for Zhai Xing, but Zhai Xing grabbed Zhai Jin's arm and refused to let Zhai Jin say on his behalf. Then Zhai Xing said in a very weak voice: "General... Don't worry, General, in a few days... in a few days, they will be discharged from the hospital to rebuild the Zuoying for the general."

Cai still stopped Zhai Xing and said, "Your first priority now is to recover your injuries. Let Zhai Jin help you with the task of rebuilding Zuoying. I will let him be the deputy commander of Zuoying and be a deputy for you."

"What?"

Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and others never expected that Cai would still be promoted to Zhai Jin as deputy commander.

You know, Zhai Jin is not as great as Zhai Xing's military achievements in this battle. The military achievements made by Zhai Jin are not enough to eliminate the previous punishment of Zhai Jin. Therefore, like Zhai Xing, it would be good that Zhai Jin could barely hold the top position. How can I be promoted to deputy commander?

More importantly, Zhai Xing was the commander of the Zuo Camp, Zhai Jin was the deputy commander of the Zuo Camp, and there were a large number of Zhai clan members in the Zuo Camp, so the Zuo Camp was almost the Zhai family. This kind of thing was something that many people in power could not tolerate.

However--

Cai still did this and handed over his Zuoying to them Zhai.

How can this prevent Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and the Zhai clan from being grateful?

Zhai Xing struggled to get out of bed, but Cai still couldn't stop him.

Under the leadership of Zhai Xing, the Zhai clan members all rushed to Cai.

Zhai Xing shouted: "The Zhai family will be loyal to the general forever and will never betray him!"

Zhai Jin led other Zhai clan members and said together: "The Zhai family will be loyal to the general forever and will never betray him!"

actually--

Cai still chose to hand over Zuoying to Zhai Xing, and Zhai Jin was also helpless.

The reason is, of course, because Cai Shen really has no more suitable generals to command the Zuoying than Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin.

After all, the rise is too fast and the foundation is not enough. Otherwise, Cai would never use the reckless man Zhang Xiao to command the Zuoying.

In fact, Cai still had already seen Zhang Xiao’s problem - being brave but not being able to do it.

Although Zhang Xiao and Niu Gao are both from the lowest class, their personalities are completely different.

Niu Gao is thick and thin, and has a strong look like a general.

However, Zhang Xiao was only brave and had no strategy. The key was that he was not enterprising. He always dealt with the way to lead the army that Cai still taught him.

If Zhang Xiao hadn't been the first to lead the way every time he fought, and Cai still had no one available, Cai still said that it would be impossible to hand over the Zuoying to Zhang Xiaotong.

Take Zhang Xiao’s last battle as an example.

A commander-in-chief did not take charge of the command, but instead rushed forward with his shirtless hands.

It’s not that it’s not right to take the lead in charge, but you have to find the right time to take the lead in charge.

Besides, if you take the lead in charge, you will take the lead in charge. Why do you take off your armor? Do you think you are me, Cai Jianna, who is strong in body and has amazing self-healing power?

Please, you are just an ordinary person.

Let’s take a step back, even if you are the same as me, Cai, and your body is very perverted, then why can’t you learn from me? When did you see me rushing with my shirtlessness? When did I go to the battlefield, I wish I could arm myself to my teeth!

So, you are not just doing things randomly.

If Zhai Xing had not been a general, he would have helped Zhang Xiao restrain the army and promptly reminded Zhang Xiao to go to the gate of the village. Finally, after Zhang Xiao died, he would take over Zhang Xiao and command Zhang Xiao to clean up the mess. Zhang Xiao would die in vain this time.

In short, Cai still felt infinite regret for Zhang Xiao's death and a little regretful. At the same time, Cai still felt sorry for the soldiers of the three or four hundred Zuoying who were killed and injured. "What a good soldier, loyal, dared to fight, and not afraid of life and death, but unfortunately it was all in vain!"

This incident also made Cai Shen completely see the fact that one general was exhausted from the three armies.

This also made Cai still pay more attention to the training of officers. Cai even ended in advance and personally taught Yue Fei and Li Bao, and sent Yue Fei and Li Bao to the right camp to serve as the head of the capital.

"In the old calendar, in the second year of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty, Huang Hui, the head of the capital of the Right Camp, Yao Gao, died in battle. The emperor appointed the marshal and Li Bao as the marshal. Everyone persuaded him because he was young and had no experience in leading troops. The emperor then dispersed the crowd and said, "Peng is a great general!" and then he carried out." - "The Middle Ages"·Biography of Yue Fei.
