Chapter 433: The death of Kong Ren
Kong Ren entered the biggest misunderstanding. He thought that the Wei army had become arrogant after winning a long war.
However, eager for victory, he did not think much about why Wei Jun's mentality had undergone a 180-degree change in just a few days.
He only thinks about victory now. After all, Jiulong General has not experienced a war for a long time. This time he competed with the Wei army and was defeated many times.
To the imperial court, it was simply unjustifiable.
If things continue like this, Kowloon will most likely exist in name only.
The Tang State is so big, what it lacks most is top talents.
If you don't work hard and win a few battles to show the people in the court, it is very likely that this opportunity to lead troops in battle will be wasted.
When I return to the Tang Dynasty in the future, it is very likely that I will never be able to contact the center of power.
Over the years, the Tang Dynasty suppressed the old nobles while supporting the new ones. This can actually give us a glimpse of this.
If you don't have any achievements, I'm afraid it's really not going to be easy.
Watching Jiulong General dispatch all his troops, Deng Qi felt deeply worried in his heart.
His lieutenant asked: "General, why don't you go with them?"
He didn't quite understand that the current Wei army was definitely at its weakest.
Having just experienced a victory, all the soldiers in the army were extremely arrogant. After drinking for two consecutive days, I am afraid that their current combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced.
Not dealing with them at this time would be a wasted opportunity.
But Deng Qi had his own ideas, "Do you think things are really that simple? If the Wei army is really arrogant, then why are Chen Qingzhi's troops not so? Taking a step back, if Zhao Changqing is just arrogant, then the Five Tigers
The generals have not become arrogant because of the few victories they have fought. Just relying on the abilities of the five tiger generals, they will definitely not be able to take advantage of this raid."
The deputy general nodded, "General, you have thought carefully."
In fact, I already completely despised him in my heart.
It's obvious that I'm overly cautious, afraid of this and that. Isn't war just an opportunity to fight?
If you win a battle, you will lose all your strength. If you lose, you can't blame others.
Instead of being timid all the time, it would be better to fight him vigorously.
However, as he served under Deng Qi, he would not say these things in front of him.
He just felt that, with the marshal's cautious character, he would never get a chance to win a battle no matter when, and he would always be a lieutenant general.
However, there must be a reason why Deng Qi was able to lead an army alone.
He only saw Deng Qi's shortcomings.
As everyone knows, after fighting with Wei for so long, Deng Qi's army has always suffered the fewest casualties among the Tang army.
In the Wei army camp.
Zhao Changqing received news from the scouts that the enemy troops were only ten miles away from the camp and could arrive in a matter of seconds.
He had been preparing for this moment for several days, and there was no room for failure.
"Prime Minister, can we start now?"
Zhao Changqing asked.
Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "Everything is ready."
Zhao Changqing nodded and took all the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to the rear.
All the troops in the Chinese army's main tent have been transferred.
They have been drinking for many days and may not be fit to fight in a short period of time.
After all the troops were transferred, the Five Tigers hid all their original troops in the military camp, waiting for the Tang army to enter the urn.
Kong Ren led 100,000 cavalry into the Tang camp. He felt bad because there was no one in the camp.
He suddenly frowned and said loudly: "Withdraw!"
But it's too late!
The gate of the camp has been closed by Wei soldiers.
And countless arrows were shot towards him.
He desperately opened a passage, but what was waiting for him was Chen Qingzhi's most elite white-robed army.
The two sides immediately fought together, and Chen Qingzhi rushed towards him.
If there was only Chen Qing, it would not have much impact on Kong Ren, but unfortunately, except for him, the other five tiger generals came.
Their troops came from all directions and surrounded Kong Ren.
To this day, he is unable to escape.
Zhao Changqing sat on a golden chariot, looked at Kong Ren and mocked: "It's time for you to enjoy your old age, why do you have to imitate young people in fighting and killing, and take care of yourself at home?"
, isn’t it good?”
When Kong Ren met Zhao Changqing, he recognized him at first sight as the Emperor of Wei.
Now that he was in such a situation, he could be called a dead end for himself. He was dejected and despaired of all hope. "Stop talking sarcastically and fight if you want!"
"Generals of the Tang Army, those who surrender will not be killed!"
Zhao Changqing roared.
All the Wei army officers and soldiers were repeating the last four words, 'Those who surrender will not be killed!'
but...
None of the Tang army soldiers surrendered.
Kong Ren laughed and said: "Zhao Changqing, don't waste your efforts. These are the soldiers brought out by me. Do you think they are all spineless weaklings like your Wei army?"
"He wants to die."
The majestic Zhao Changqing narrowed his eyes.
Zhuge Liang bowed to the side and said: "Your Majesty, please give him a happy life."
He knew that Kong Ren would never choose to surrender.
Because he not only represents himself, but also the entire Kong family behind him.
If he surrenders, he is afraid that his family will suffer disaster in the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Changqing nodded and waved his hand, and tens of thousands of soldiers waved their butcher knives at the Tang army.
This was really a massacre, with almost four or five people fighting against one Tang army soldier.
No matter what, they have no chance to turn defeat into victory.
The fighting lasted for half an hour. One hundred thousand cavalry were all killed, and no one was spared.
Kong Ren was covered in blood and his face was ashen. A Wei general launched a sudden attack, causing him to fall off his horse and be seriously injured. He vomited a mouthful of blood and said, "Zhao Changqing, you win."
After saying this, he actually committed suicide.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Changqing shook his head and said regretfully: "The Jiulong generals are all famous generals in the world. If they can all do things for our country, Wei, why worry about failing to achieve great things?"
Zhuge Liang cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why our Wei army can win every battle?"
"Because of the military advisor's advice."
Zhuge Liang shook his head.
"Because the Five Tiger Generals know the art of war?"
Zhuge Liang still shook his head.
"Because there are so many powerful generals in the army?"
Zhuge Liang still shook his head.
This made Zhao Changqing a little depressed, "Prime Minister, even though you say so."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It's all because of Your Majesty."
"Because of me?" It's not that Zhao Changqing didn't think of this just now, but in the recent war, it seemed that he had not contributed much, so this answer was rejected by himself.
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Looking at the two emperors of the Tang and Song Dynasties, who would lead the army and fight personally like Your Majesty in battles? And who would take the lead like Your Majesty?"
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Zhao Changqing always felt that something was wrong.
He pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "The Prime Minister's words are actually not complimentary to me, right?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned.
