Volume 3 Rain in the Capital Chapter 287 Northern Confucian General
King Jingbei had a regular armed force called the Beidi Army. In the early days of the founding of the Kingdom of Dafeng, he formed three armies, namely the Beidi Army, the Xiliang Army and the Zhennan Army.
Although it was formed at the same time, the fate of the three armies was very different. The Western Liang army was completely destroyed in the battle of Ximshan three hundred years ago. The defending general Huo Chengsi was killed. The Western Qiang army drove straight into Xiangzhou and almost attacked.
Shuozhou, the land of Yongzhou.
Zhennan Army also had a bumpy fate. After several twists and turns, although the organization is still there, it is no longer the Zhennan Army of the past. Among these three armies, only the Beidi Army has been retained, but because of the power of military laid off in the early years, the Beidi Army is now
The military power is not in the hands of the Ministry of War, but in the hands of the King of Jingbei.
The Northern Army is famous and powerful, and the commander of this ever-victorious army is Qixi, known as the Confucian general of the Northern Land. Qixi was originally a Confucian disciple. After leaving Qingzhou, he returned to the northern territory because of his profound knowledge.
, with extraordinary knowledge, was entrusted with important tasks by the young King Jingbei.
Later, Qi Xi used facts to prove to King Jingbei that he had picked up a treasure when he met Qi Xi. Qi Xi was not only proficient in Confucianism, but also had extraordinary achievements in martial arts. Later, the Northern Army selected generals, Qi Xi recommended himself and became a military member.
Just when everyone thought that this white-faced scholar could not bear the military life for several days, Qi Xi slapped them in the face with the facts.
Qi Xi not only stayed, but also stayed until now. Although Qi Xi never went to fight to kill the enemy, he had the ability to plan and win a thousand miles away. He used his victory again and again to go to the North Army.
The soldiers proved that not only military officers could command the army, but Confucian scholars could do it.
The most powerful time in Qixi was to command 5,000 soldiers to penetrate 800 miles into the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians and cross the Liao River five times. Not only did it contain 50,000 Northern Barbarians, but it almost wiped out the entire 150,000 Northern Barbarians. This battle
Not only did he preserve Shanhaiguan, but he also established his unshakable commandership in the Northern Army.
A northern Confucian general and two tigers on the border. The Northern Army with these three people not only made the Northern Barbarians afraid, but even Gao Zhen was very concerned about this. Fortunately, King Jingbei and King Anxi were different and did not have the same
Yin Du broke up, otherwise Qi Xi would be the next Lin Tianxiao.
Northern border, Jingzhou Shanhaiguan.
As the first pass in the northern border, Shanhaiguan is connected to the northern barbarian Liao'anlege in the north, and Heiling Mountain to the east. Yes, it is Heiling Mountain where Faxiang Temple is located.
To the south of him is the endless northern plain of the Northern Selangor, so once Shanhaiguan is gone, the Northern Barbarian cavalry can drive straight into the Jingzhou mansion. The wide northern plain of the Northern Selangor is no danger at all. At that time, the northern ones waiting for the people of Jingzhou will be the Northern ones.
The ruthless butcher knife of the barbarian cavalry.
In order to strangle this heavy area, the Beidi Army did not hesitate to set up the camp in Shanhaiguan. The entire Shanhaiguan stationed nearly 60,000 Beidi troops, accounting for more than half of the total number of Beidi Army.
Shanhaiguan is worthy of being the first pass in the north. The pass is made of huge stones one meter long. These granites are cut into stones one meter long and piled up into pass walls twenty meters high.
After more than 500 years of wind and sun exposure, these granites are still firm, but there are some scratches of time on them, which makes them look much thicker and more solid.
The pass city wall stretches for a hundred meters, connecting Heiling Mountain and Xiongfeng Mountain to the west. The entire pass is like a huge stone lock, locking this important road that leads directly to the north and south, on the wall in front of the Shanhaiguan archway.
You can also see traces of black and white. These black are the explosion marks caused by the collision of true qi, while the white ones are traces of repair for years.
Among these repair traces, there is a burnt yellow scar that is particularly dazzling because in this granite is inlaid with a Buddha's relics emitting golden light.
The most famous Buddhist practice is Vajra. Buddhist Vajra is also known as the first body refining technique in the martial arts world. Ordinary martial artists practice martial arts mainly to cultivate true qi and nourish tendons and veins, while Buddhist Vajra is to cultivate
The body is the main body, and after the true qi flows through the tendons and veins, it also needs to nourish its own musculoskeletons.
Over time, the muscles and bones of these Buddhist disciples are much stronger than those of the same realm. Those Buddha monks who have broken through the half-step spirit will not be destroyed after passing away or die in battle. They will continue to be in the form of relics.
It was passed down, and when the eighteen monks of Shanhaiguan resisted the enemy, one of them exploded his dantian and stopped the Northern Barbarians' army.
The powerful power of the 20,000 Northern Barbarians turned into powder, and the same monk was also gone. When the war ended, the guards guarding Shanhaiguan found the embedded wall on the city wall.
A finger-long Buddha relics.
Now this Buddha relic has become the spiritual pillar of Shanhaiguan soldiers, and the stories of the eighteen monks are also passed down from word to mouth in Shanhaiguan. Although there is no Buddha in the south, in the north, especially in Jingzhou, Buddhism still has unshakable things.
The key to status is that there is a Northern Army behind Buddhism.
Qi Xi, who was over fifty years old, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, and marked the route of the Northern Barbarians' attack on the yellow map in front of him clearly. Pinglao Pass, which was the focus of the war, was also drawn in a red circle by him.
Qi Xi was wearing a Confucian robe, a pure scoundrel on her head, and a serious and vicissitudes of face. She gave people a feeling of pureness and poverty. Behind Qi Xi was an ancient sword, an ebony scabbard, wrapped in yak skin from the north.
You can tell it is not an ordinary person.
Although he was not in Pinglao Pass, this northern Confucian general has been paying attention to the war in Pinglao Pass. Judging from the information sent by his scouts, the situation in Pinglao Pass is not optimistic. This time, Murong Zhuozhuo led the army to fight and was under his command.
The Northern Barbarian Army is well-trained and has moderate offense and defense, which is obviously different from the previous Northern Barbarian Army.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and Qi Xi said without raising his head, "Enter."
An old monk wearing a red cassock, holding a Buddhist bead in his left hand and a Zen stick in his right hand, slowly walked in, stood in front of his chest with his left hand, and said in a deep voice, "General Qi, the prince has been replying."
Qi Xi suddenly looked up, smiled at the old monk, and took the reply from the old monk. However, after reading it, Qi Xi's face was not that good-looking. He sighed and slapped the table helplessly.
The old monk saw helplessness and reluctance on the faces of this veteran on the battlefield, and even a hint of regret, "Amitabha, did the prince reject your proposal..."
"Yes, the prince still disagrees with the plan to send troops from Shanhaiguan to attack the Northern Barbarians. He also ordered me to transfer 20,000 Northern Army to Changlin City. It seems that the prince and his staff in the mansion have predicted that His Majesty will be the emperor's personal expedition this time.
Have ulterior motives."
Gao Lan's thoughts are not difficult to guess. The Northern Barbarians invaded the south, and the emperor personally led the expedition. He was still the Pinglao Pass in Dingzhou where he was the prince. If there was a little mistake, who could guarantee that Qin Feng's army would not be able to fight straight to the forest.
What about the city.
The tragedy of King Anxi is right in front of you. King Jingbei has to be careful about this emperor brother.
"General Yan was ordered to go to Pinglao Pass and was ordered by the prince. On the surface, he seemed to support Pinglao Pass, but why did he arrive with General Qin Feng by chance? Isn't the purpose of monitoring General Qin?
I'm sorry, if Your Majesty really planned to attack the prince, he would never choose to kill each other without regard for reputation..." The old monk looked serious and stopped halfway.
Qi Xi knew it well and murmured, "There is a Lingmiao family around the prince. If the Central Mansion wants to do it, it is probably not that easy."
"Amitabha, I hope so." The old monk said while rolling the Buddhist beads.
Qi Xi rubbed his temples and said nothing for a long time.
The old monk looked at the map on the Qixi desk, and after a long time, he pondered, "General Qi, he is still worried about the battle between Changting."
Qi Xi turned around and looked at the old monk. He looked back at the map. There was a long red circle in Changting City in Liao'an Lege in the north of Shanhaiguan. This map was formulated by Qi Xi twenty years ago.
The map of the plan to cross the Liaohe River.
Twenty years have passed, and Qi Xi can never forget the battle that year. That battle was not only a battle that made him famous and established his position in the army, but also a battle that he thought was the most regrettable in his life.
The Liaohe River is a large river that crosses the north and south of the Northern Barbarians from the origin of the northern snow field, winding for thousands of miles, not only brought a thousand miles of grassland to the Northern Barbarians, but also brought them a natural moat. At that time, the Northern Barbarians' army headed south.
, attacked Shanhaiguan on three sides, and after two months of hard fighting, the northern army suffered heavy casualties, and Shanhaiguan was in danger.
At this moment, a 5,000-man cavalry suddenly appeared in the Liao'an Lege behind the Northern Barbarians. For Baoshan Haiguan, the court sent important officials who were well versed in border defense. At that time, the young King Jingbei personally took charge of Shanhaiguan.
, vow to live and die with Shanhaiguan.
Qi Xi knew that the Beiman's move was a desperate battle. If they could not get down to Shanhaiguan, they would have no way back. So they led five thousand elite cavalry to enter the Beiman from the eastern foot of Heiling Mountain with unsuccessful intentions.
In the territory, within three days, the surprise attacks of 800 miles to the Liaohe grassland, burned a large number of military food and supplies in the Northern Barbarians, and killed more than 3,000 enemies. This was a crossing of the Liaohe River.
Later, the Northern Barbarians sent 30,000 troops to encircle the cavalry, and expected that the Northern Army would go south to clear the siege of Shanhaiguan, but they did not want Qixi to go back to the way. They did not go south, but went north to Liaohe River again and attacked Zizhen.
The city, two thousand defenders from Zhencheng fled when they heard the news, and the army attacked the city and burned the granary. This was the second crossing of the Liao River.
After hearing that Zhencheng was destroyed, the Northern Barbarians crossed the river overnight and attacked Qixi in three directions. Qixi calmly responded to the battle and ran a long distance of 500 miles to cross the Liaohe River south. It was as powerful as a rushing straight to the rear of the Northern Barbarians.
The posture is that this is the three crossings of the Liao River.
The commander of the Northern Barbarians was forced to move westward and sent another 20,000 troops northward. At this time, Qi Xi had already commanded the army to change direction and kill eastward, causing the Northern Barbarians to lose 20,000 troops.
At the eastern ferry crossing, Qixi commanded the army to head north again, which was the four crossings of the Liao River. This time, Qixi detoured the rear of 30,000 Northern Barbarians. Taking advantage of the slow movement of the Northern Barbarians, he attacked the rear and burned tens of thousands of kilograms of military rations.
It was the cold winter, without the support of military rations, and on a large barren grassland, the Northern Barbarian army could not last long.
The furious Northern Barbarian army was dizzy by Qixi. They didn't know where Qixi was, so they could only circle the grassland. At this time, Qixi had already crossed the Liaohe River and won the construction based on the natural danger of Liaohe River.
Changting City, this is the crossing of the Liao River.
Fifty thousand Northern Barbarians were dragged away, and the pressure on Shanhaiguan was reduced sharply. At the same time, Cheng Yuan led a 50,000 army to kill from Dingzhou. The 150,000 Northern Barbarians were trapped south of the Liaohe River, without food and supplies, crossing the river
Changting City was stuck in death by Qi Xi again. Logically, as long as the three armies jointly attacked, most of the 150,000 troops would be destroyed even if they were not completely destroyed.
