In the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the country went to war and wars continued. What the people wanted was actually food and clothing. Naturally, they had no way to read or write, let alone learn the art of war. Even some generals who led troops did not understand the art of war themselves.
Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, according to the previous constitution, most of the battles relied on the army to cover up and kill.
This also made several powerful armies in the Southern and Northern Dynasties particularly dazzling, such as the Beifu soldiers who won the Battle of Feishui and saved Zuo of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xifu soldiers who once decided the changes of several dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, and the soldiers who swept through Heluo with 7,000 cavalry.
The White Robe Army is a first-class strong army. It is precisely because the quality of these armies, from their commanders to their soldiers, is generally higher than that of the enemy and the rest of their own army. They follow orders and prohibitions in accordance with the art of war, and fall into battle to kill the common people in the White Robe Army. Therefore, they are able to survive in these troubled times.
Show your own light.
Compared with the Beifu soldiers and Xifu soldiers who relied on the strength of the Han family in the north, Chen Qingzhi's White Robe Army can definitely be said to be an army formed from the descendants of the south. It was also an army cultivated by Chen Qingzhi, a Confucian general. It did not have enough
The quality of his troops and the ability to forge such a strong army shows Chen Qingzhi's ability.
Based on the military art that Li Cheng and others knew more or less, Li Xingchen could vaguely figure out what Chen Qingzhi relied on.
The sage Confucius said: There is no distinction between teaching and learning.
In fact, Chen Qingzhi's method is very simple. Since he can't recruit good soldiers, he simply teaches these soldiers some knowledge of the art of war. This seems to be just a wishful thinking of a Confucian general, and may even attract the rolling eyes and cynicism of many generals.
, but it is these not-so-complex military knowledge and terminology that allow soldiers to more fully understand the general's intentions in chaotic battles, and thus achieve orders and prohibitions from another angle - everyone knows in which direction they should attack, even if
There is no order from the commander, and they will naturally attack in that direction. Therefore, compared with other armies, Chen Qingzhi's white robe army changes formations faster on the battlefield, and the army officers and soldiers can cooperate with each other, and each person can cooperate with each other.
The seven thousand cavalrymen cooperated with each other and continued to rise, so they became a unit that swept across the two Huaihe Rivers.
And from another aspect, Chen Qingzhi can teach the soldiers the art of war, and to a certain extent, he can win over the morale of the army and make the soldiers feel that the commander values them and that they are different from the rest of the army. Naturally, he can
Enhance the cohesion of the army, which in turn increases the army's fighting spirit and unity when facing the enemy.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Therefore, everyone in the White Robe Army more or less knows some art of war, and the personal guards around Chen Qingzhi such as Li Cheng have learned more in the process of fighting side by side with Chen Qingzhi, at least like "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Although they couldn't understand some parts of famous articles, they could recite them by heart.
Later, Li Cheng and others took root in this village. Firstly, it was for the purpose of cultivating the next generation of young people to protect the village from surviving in troubled times. Secondly, it was also because of the memory of Chen Qingzhi, so the three of them set up a private school.
What was taught was the art of war that Chen Qingzhi had taught them. Although there were not many of these things, compared to other young people of the same generation, Li Xingchen had to say that the young men in this village were quite lucky.
It's better than nothing.
But now it seems that this effect is not very good. After all, Li Cheng and the others are half-empty and don't understand much. They all memorized it by rote. If Zheng Qing and the others met such a teacher, they would be able to have an epiphany.
That's true genius.
There aren't many geniuses in this small village, but Li Cheng and the others are content with just one Li Xingchen.
"But we don't know where these bandits are gathering on the top of the mountain, let alone how many there are." Zheng Qing said with some embarrassment, "There are only a few of us, so if we rush out like this, we might not be able to find them."
what to do?"
Li Xingchen chuckled lightly and pointed outside the ancestral hall: "We don't know, but there are two guys who do."
————————————-
"Pa!" The cowhide whip hit his body, causing blood to drip from his body.
The facial features of the two bandits had shrunk together, and it was obvious that even thieves like them who were robbing homes could not bear the pain. One of the bandits shouted in a hoarse voice: "Heroes, please be gentler, we also have some
The reason is that if I say everything now and fall into the hands of the brothers in the future, I’m afraid I will die without a burial place!”
"If you don't tell me now, you will still die without a burial place." Li Xingchen said coldly. These two guys had clearly shown signs of decadence before. Li Xingchen thought that he could pry open their teeth with just a random beating and interrogation. But now
It seems that I really underestimated the toughness of these bandits.
There are two possibilities for making a person speak harshly. One is that the person is really determined, and the other is naturally that the person will not be able to bear the retaliation he will face once he speaks out, so he would rather grit his teeth and support it than say anything.
.
Obviously, these two bandits now belong to the latter, which also made Li Xingchen put away the last bit of his heart to underestimate the enemy. These two guys are afraid of being retaliated by their colleagues if they tell the truth, which further proves that this group of bandits has strict rules.
Discipline and organization are definitely not that easy to deal with. This further confirms Li Cheng's suspicions that these are most likely a group of guerrillas, and they still adhere to the regulations of the army.
Li Xingchen frowned. It was really difficult to deal with. He didn't expect that he would face such a strong opponent at the beginning of his time travel. At that moment, he winked at Zheng Qing beside him. Zheng Qing, Song Fei and others were still the first.
The first whipping of people, such a bloody scene, even the hunters in the mountains couldn't help but feel butterflies in their stomachs. After all, prey and people are different after all, and they are not killing people now, but torturing them.
But seeing Li Xingchen, who was also experiencing this scene for the first time, frowning and giving orders, Zheng Qing, Song Fei and others suppressed their nausea and stepped forward. Li Xingchen has always been their idol and role model, and now
Brother Chen can persevere, so there is nothing you can't persevere in. You must know that the burden on Brother Chen's shoulders is much heavier than theirs!
"This is your choice. I'll ask you one last time. Do you want to say yes or not?" Li Xingchen knelt down and looked at the two bandits who were already bloody. He was really surprised that these two guys could hold up to this point, but
It does not mean that Li Xinchen has not prepared other ways to deal with them. At this moment, Li Xinchen knows very well that if he is not cruel to them, then they will show their fangs to him and the entire village.
So he had no choice but to use all means to pry open the mouths of these two guys!
"I really can't..." the bandit on the left whispered, already furious.
Although Zheng Qing and the others couldn't bear to see such a scene, they were merciless in their attacks. The strength they used to deal with prey such as wild boars was used on humans. Even Li Xingchen had to sigh that these two bandits were really capable.
