Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-First: The Three Armies Are All Blessed
This battle that Zhuge Liang carefully prepared ended with everyone in the best condition.
In this battle, a total of nearly 300,000 enemies were wiped out.
The generals alone suffered countless casualties.
It was the battle with the largest disparity between victory and defeat since the Battle of Niutoushan.
Everyone knows very well that this is entirely due to Zhuge Liang himself.
Wei Jun gathered his troops and returned to camp.
Yue Fei is in charge of the rear.
If nothing else, the five tiger generals really have their own merits.
Take Yue Fei as an example, there is no pressure at all when attacking a city or defending one side.
In the Wei military camp.
All the soldiers were drinking and jumping for joy.
Zhao Changqing originally wanted to let the soldiers rest after this great victory, or at least let the soldiers of the three armies relax.
But Zhuge Liang disagreed.
The worried look on his face made many people confused.
Bai Qi asked: "Prime Minister, winning a battle is a matter of joy no matter how you say it. Why do you feel that you seem a little unhappy?"
Zhao Yun also echoed and asked: "Your Majesty said that it is a great joy to entertain the soldiers of the three armies. After all, the soldiers have been immersed in the war since they went abroad to fight in all directions. Finally, they have a chance to relax. Prime Minister
Why don't you agree?"
Zhao Changqing was not angry and said: "Prime Minister, if you have any questions, just say it?"
Only then did Zhuge Liang express his doubts, "Your Majesty, I am worried that after the enemy reorganizes their troops, they will sneak attack on our camp. After all, our army is divided into several groups. If they make a desperate move, it will be extremely detrimental to us."
military."
Zhao Changqing frowned, thought for a moment, and felt more and more that something was not quite right, "You are right, it is not the time for us to celebrate yet. This time, we have won a great victory, and the enemy must be holding something in their hearts."
He must find a place to vent his anger, and if he surprises our army without us being prepared, it will easily cause trouble to our army."
Yue Fei thought for a while and said: "The general has a plan, which may be able to counterattack the enemy again."
Zhao Changqing suddenly became interested and asked: "What's the plan? Let's talk about it."
Yue Fei nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, we can gather the army together secretly, and then all the soldiers who were in the central army will drink and have fun for three days. The general will firmly believe that it only takes three days to defeat the enemy."
They think we are being careless and attack the Chinese army. At that time, if we gather the troops in advance, we can prevent them from coming back."
Everyone understood Yue Fei's plan, and it must be said that it was a very good one.
Zhao Changqing looked at Zhuge Liang, who heard the sound and laughed and said: "The flying general and the minister have exactly the same thoughts, but this approach will make the soldiers who have gathered here feel unhappy."
If this problem is not solved, more problems will arise.
Zhao Changqing also thought of this when he heard Yue Fei's plan.
I thought this problem was not a problem, but after Zhuge Liang said it, he instantly understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Otherwise, we can inform all the armies and let them have fun for a few days at regular intervals. In this case, wouldn't this problem be solved temporarily?" Zhao Changqing said.
Zhuge Liang said: "However, if the promise made to the soldiers is not fulfilled in the future, I am afraid they will also have complaints."
Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "They are all soldiers of our Wei Kingdom. Logically speaking, it is time for them to relax. I will solve the problem of food and grass."
He has a private treasury and a lot of money.
As the saying goes, good luck should be used on the edge of the knife.
Now that the queen has used her private treasury, there is no need to remain a miser.
It's time to use this money.
Everything is aimed at resolving the war earlier.
After deciding on the strategy, Zhao Changqing personally implemented it.
Not only did he let the soldiers of the army get drunk, but he also sat in front of the camp and drank every day.
Zhuge Liang came to advise, "Your Majesty, the war is not over yet, why don't you drink less?"
When Zhao Changqing heard his voice, he was furious and admonished: "Are you teaching me how to do things? When do I need you to remind me, and what should I do?"
This admonishment attracted the attention of many people.
Including some spies placed by the Tang army in the Wei army.
There is no way, the Wei army has a large number of people, and it is impossible not to encounter spies and the like.
They were all watching, wanting to see what was going on.
When they were watching from a distance, they saw Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of a country, kneeling in front of His Majesty, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter! The enemy is still looking at you. If we relax our vigilance at this time, we will definitely suffer a big defeat.
ah!"
"A big defeat?" Zhao Changqing sneered, taking advantage of the drunkenness, and said loudly: "Only with those vulnerable Tang troops? How many times have they fought against me? Every time, they have not been defeated and fled? The battle the day before yesterday
, not only captured a Tang army commander, but also beheaded nearly 300,000 Tang soldiers. Who in the world can achieve this kind of performance? Not by the soldiers? Can't I let them drink and relax?
"
Zhuge Liang was still admonishing, "Your Majesty, drinking is strictly prohibited in the army. This is what you repeatedly stated in your orders!"
Looking at all wars in history, there is basically a pattern to follow.
That is, an army that can win a war is either an army with faith, or an iron army with culture and discipline.
This is one of the reasons why all dynasties and generations are not afraid of rebellion by thieves and bandits, but are afraid of rebellion by scholars.
Scholars, who are literate, can give the army soul and put shackles on it.
What are shackles?
This is military discipline.
A well-disciplined army can be called an invincible army.
But now, Wei Wuzu, who is so powerful in the world, is actually drinking in the army.
How can this make Zhuge Liang ‘at ease’?
But Zhao Changqing pretended not to care about these things, "I asked the soldiers to drink and have fun. I have a plan in mind. The Tang army has not retreated yet, so I plan to let the soldiers drink as much as they want in batches.
The weather is good and the wine is good, so relax, Prime Minister, don't try to persuade me, otherwise I will get angry."
Zhuge Liang looked extremely embarrassed after hearing this.
I have to say that the acting skills of these two people have reached the level of proficiency.
Zhao Changqing came to the martial arts hall in the camp and saw that every soldier was holding a wine jar in his hand, and he felt a little happy from the bottom of his heart.
Taking this opportunity, he really wanted to let the soldiers have a good rest.
There was no wine among the Wei army before. These wines were bought on a whim by Zhao Changqing at a large price from the captured towns a few days ago.
I just thought that one day, after winning a battle, I would use it to celebrate.
I didn't expect that it would actually come in handy today.
"Soldiers, if you drink too much, when you get drunk, lie down and rest. After experiencing a great victory, I will rejoice with the soldiers of the three armies!"
After Zhao Changqing finished speaking, he stood on the general ordering stage in the martial arts arena and drank the wine in the bowl he was holding in one gulp.
The entire military camp was cheering "Long live your Majesty".
The army soldiers who were quietly gathered together by Bai Qi and others were hiding in the dark.
They saw this scene and were very greedy.
