Chapter 391: Waiting for reinforcements
After Zhao Changqing repulsed the Tang army, he ordered the troops to continue drilling deeper.
After receiving the news, Chen Qingzhi's troops had ordered his troops to rush to Zhao Changqing.
After the two armies met, Zhao Changqing met Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi knelt down on one knee to Zhao Changqing and said: "Your Majesty, the general's rescue has been late. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
Zhao Changqing snorted coldly: "Rescue? What kind of person are you trying to save? I have completely defeated the Tang army, why are you trying to save me? I should be the one to save you!"
Chen Qingzhi was shocked and said: "General, I was careless and fell into the enemy's scheme by mistake, which is why I ended up like this. I am guilty!"
Some of the soldiers around him were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
They did not expect that the majestic Five Tiger Generals would be like a sickly kitten in front of His Majesty.
Zhao Changqing said: "Order your soldiers to securely occupy this road and never be surrounded and attacked by the enemy again."
Chen Qingzhi said respectfully: "The general has ordered the soldiers to gather in this road. In a short period of time, defense fortifications will be built in this road. They will definitely be able to withstand the arrival of Changlin's army."
Zhao Changqing said dissatisfied: "Chen Qingzhi, you have disappointed me so much. When you are fighting in the field, you should first think about whether you can win on your own, not whether you need external help!"
Chen Qingzhi couldn't tell the truth. He was forced into this situation and there was really nothing he could do. After all, compared with the Tang army, the disparity in military strength was really huge.
Facing a Tang army that was twice his own and was the most elite of the Tang army, Chen Qingzhi felt a little powerless.
After everyone returned to the military camp, Zhao Changqing temporarily seized Chen Qingzhi's command seal, "Now that I am here, all matters in the army, big and small, will be left to me to decide. I will send scouts to observe the surroundings. Before I came, I asked Bai Qi to
I will squeeze out some troops with Yue Fei's troops to rush here to help, and when the reinforcements arrive, I will personally draw up two counterattacks."
The officers and soldiers were completely convinced by the emperor's command of the battle. After all, there are few people in the world who are better at fighting than His Majesty.
When you think about it carefully, Wei has had so many foreign expansion wars, and it seems that behind every war, there is His Majesty's figure. This is what makes people feel terrible.
This means that behind the planning of every major battle, His Majesty's planning is indispensable. If you follow His Majesty in marching and fighting, you will definitely be able to win every battle.
Chen Qingzhi clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Tang Army mainly wants to delay our country's external expansion and use it to consume our troops. Therefore, the general does not advocate taking the initiative to attack. We should rely on favorable terrain to launch defenses to reduce casualties."
, after capturing Liang, the Tang army should withdraw without a fight."
Zhao Changqing frowned after hearing this, "This is not what I heard from your mouth, Chen Qingzhi. Why, because you have suffered several defeats, you don't dare to provoke a war against the Tang army?"
Chen Qingzhi bowed solemnly and said: "I will not dare!"
Zhao Changqing said: "You think that if I come here and take the initiative, it will have a negative impact on me?"
Chen Qingzhi remained silent.
Zhao Changqing knew what he was thinking, "I am in my prime. When it comes to killing enemies in battle, even you and Zilong together are not necessarily stronger than me, so if you have some words, just hide them in your heart and say them out.
, you are just disturbing the morale of the army!"
Chen Qingzhi lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
On the way back, he learned that His Majesty's arrival here was a temporary decision and Prime Minister Zhuge and others were not notified in advance.
And according to His Majesty's wishes, I am afraid that he will not choose to leave here in the short term.
Once Prime Minister Zhuge asked, if the emperor did not communicate with the ministers, there would be some big turmoil in the capital!
At this time, it is only right to fully protect His Majesty's safety.
After Zhao Changqing arrived at Chen Qingzhi's camp, the fox demon Daji also came and wanted to meet him.
He scolded Zhao Gao severely, and then said to Daji: "Didn't I ask you to return to Luoyang? Why are you here again?"
In front of the attention of all the soldiers, she still dared to be extremely passionate towards Zhao Changqing. Not only did she hug him tightly, she also showed a flattering look and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, I miss you."
Zhao Changqing was completely angered by her move, and said to the soldiers: "I have something to do now. As for the subsequent battle, we will discuss it when the reinforcements arrive. Chen Qingzhi has put full martial law in the camp. If there is any trouble from the enemy, we will report it immediately."
Chen Qingzhi cupped his fists and said: "No!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Changqing carried Daji to the temporarily built imperial tent.
Daji herself had a soft and charming charm. The moment she was picked up by the emperor, she buried her head deeply into the emperor's armor that was still stained with blood, and said without disgust at all: "Your Majesty, please be gentle later.
Daji is weak and cannot withstand the torture."
Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pity you."
After the two of them entered the emperor's tent, Chen Qingzhi murmured: "Why do I feel that this Daji has the potential to be a beauty and a disaster?"
It happened that Zhao Gao heard these words.
But as the saying goes, it is better to do less than to do more. If you have no grievances with Chen Qingzhi in the past, there is no need to tell Daji or His Majesty about this matter.
Jianyi came to Chen Qingzhi's side and said calmly: "I remember the last time I came here, you told me that you didn't take Tang Jun seriously. Why, how long has it been since then, and we have experienced two defeats in the blink of an eye? Why?
Trapped here."
Chen Qingzhi smiled bitterly and said: "I said I underestimated the enemy, do you believe it?"
Jian Yi frowned and said, "I heard from others that the Tang army is unusual this time?"
Chen Qingzhi nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed the case. I have never suffered such a loss in marching operations before. The Tang Army suddenly seemed to have changed its appearance. Due to the lack of certain accurate information, we had no idea about the situation.
There was a mistake in the assessment of the Tang army's combat strength. Can you imagine that a single baggage unit can be on par with the elite army led by me personally?"
Jian Yiyi said: "I have heard about this battle. The outcome of this battle was that you lost."
Chen Qingzhi said: "I kept an eye on that battle from the beginning to the end, so that the entire army would not be wiped out and some of the troops would be retained. Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, I am afraid that the battle would have ended in a desperate situation."
Jian Yiyi said: "If Changlin's army arrives, how confident are you that you can repel the enemy?"
Chen Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "If they were evenly matched, they would have suffered a loss in strength in the last battle."
