Classics never go out of style. This is Chu Qing's plan, and it cannot be called a plan.
Let me ask, how to delay the march of the 250,000-strong army.
A layman, like Chu Qing, kept harassing and harassing.
Experts, such as the Fu family's two fools, can figure out the psychology of the enemy's generals, how to use the right time, location, and people to turn all known conditions and factors into advantages, etc.
Harassment, constant harassment, the effect is not very obvious, but it is the most classic method.
Chu Qing asked Xu Xiaopao to take Hu Shenzhi and run towards the Peregrine Falcon tribe without his life. He ordered Divine Grass, Peregrine Falcon, Dongtu, and gathered 5,000 troops to come to respond. He used the most classic and least effective method. But the never-outdated way to slow down the advance of the vanguard is to break it into pieces and use harassment tactics.
To be precise, it was not a harassment tactic, but rather a way of spreading suspicion. Instead of harassing the main formation of the Pioneer Army, it was to intercept and kill all the Pioneer Army spies to ensure nothing went wrong.
Chu Qing's current feeling was like chasing a goddess, sending flowers and sweet talk, spending a lot of energy and time tormenting herself, but later found out that it was better to just take out a few stacks of hundred-yuan bills and throw them in the face. Simple and direct.
In any case, the plan of the two idiots of the Fu family was half successful. At least the vanguard army thought that the border troops had come out of the border, so they stayed step by step and did not dare to advance rashly.
But this state will not last long. Any exploration horse that breaks through the blockade and sees the herdsmen and people transporting grain and grass into the pass will have the vanguard army catch up as fast as possible.
Chu Qing was upset, and there were two people who were more upset than him, one at the border and the other in Beijing.
Let’s talk about Beijing first, it is Qin Gang, the general of the Zhu Kingdom.
Because there is no minister in the Ministry of War now, Qin Gang, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, can be regarded as concurrently serving as the minister in the Ministry of War.
At this time, there was a military newspaper on his desk. Qin Gang, who always called himself a Confucian general, cursed loudly.
"Bastard, bastard, why did Wu An raise such a bastard with such nonsense? Even if Chu Qing usually looks at him, he doesn't seem to be such a stupid person. He is such a bastard. This is the only way to die!"
A group of military generals smiled bitterly. The military report had just been delivered. It recorded the general situation of the wolf-catching army after they came out of seclusion, mainly to report their merits.
"New soldiers, even new soldiers in the Wolf Catching Army, have only been able to train for more than a month and come out of the pass..."
Qin Gang became more and more angry as he watched. He resisted the urge to tear up the military newspaper and shouted: "Each new soldier killed more than ten people in formation, and there were more than thirty people. Is it possible that they have three heads and six arms!"
"There is also Tao Shaozhang, the young minister of Dali Temple. What kind of virtue is this Tao Shaozhang? Don't you know that this general killed the prince of the prairie in a formation and returned his mother to two and four princes? They fought fiercely with Tao Shaozhang for more than a hundred rounds. They were inextricably killed. , was finally beheaded by Tao Shaozhang, Chu Qing, as a three-year-old child in both the civil and military affairs of the court?"
"It would be fine if he was a prince of the prairie. There is also the third prince of the prairie, Alqi, who was killed by Tao Shaozhang under the border wall. Why is Alqi, a prince, appearing under the wall? Let alone say , Even this general knows that Al Qi is brave, good at fighting and extremely brave. How can he be killed by Tao Shaozhang, a weak scholar? Chu Qing is making nonsense, and the border troops are also fooling around, bastards, they are all bastards!"
Qin Gang became more and more angry as he talked. He suddenly slammed the table, grabbed the military newspaper, and tore it into pieces.
The military generals pretended not to see anything.
No matter how exaggerated the military newspaper is, or how whimsical Chu Qing compiles it, it cannot be denied that it is a military newspaper. It also has the seal of the border commander Ma Rujing, including the six battalions asking for credit for the wolf-catching army. Letter, this is to be reported to the court.
"Don't tell anyone about this matter!"
Qin Gang glanced at the crowd coldly: "Chu Qing is young and ignorant, and the things he takes credit for can be big or small. If word gets out, the consequences will be disastrous. Do you understand?"
The generals were all on their own, and they figured it out in an instant.
Qin Gang was really kind to the old Chu family, and he was really pampered towards Chu Qing. He would rather tear up the military report and not report it to the court, rather than want Chu Qing to be caught and made things difficult for him.
A veteran general sighed and asked: "But the cavalry of the border army entered the capital and brought their troops to report to the Ministry of War. This matter cannot be hidden."
"Write another one. When outsiders asked, they said that what the military report said was just ordinary things. Chu Qing and the border army had no merit or fault. The frontier army's military report was damaged on the road, so I will copy it again. I got a copy, but do you know everything?"
Many generals responded in unison.
In fact, this matter is quite serious, so I directly reported it to the border army for "change". The imperial court learned about it, and the emperor learned about it. Not to mention that Qin Gang was relieved of his duties, there would definitely be a scolding, and the civil servants would definitely take advantage of the opportunity. Criticize the Ministry of War.
But it's not a big deal at all. It's just that the military newspaper got wet on the way here and the words were messed up. Qin Gang copied it again. This kind of thing has happened before.
Qin Gang was so angry that he tore up the military report. He still wanted to "wipe Chu Qing's butt" after all, so he gave a hush order and asked everyone to go out. Then he got paper and pen and started writing the military report again.
The writing and writing are all useless nonsense. The Liang bandits are gathering their troops and the border troops are reinforcing their defenses. As for Chu Qing, the three-level weapons supervisor, he took his people out of the customs and just strolled around casually. Circle, perfecting the map is not a great achievement, it is just hard work.
Just like that, between Qin Gang's three and two strokes, Chu Qing's military exploits that he worked so hard to obtain were all gone.
There was a lot of content in the military report, and Qin Gang didn't even finish it. He was so angry after reading the beginning.
In fact, the following content also included the defection of Peregrine Falcon and Shencao II, including Tuoba Le's identity and Chu Qing's plan, etc. Unfortunately, Qin Gang did not see it.
But even if Qin Gang saw it, he wouldn't believe it. In his eyes, Chu Qing is just like telling a capitalist that he doesn't care about money, and he just farts when he opens his mouth.
Putting down his pen, Qin Gang was still angry and cursed in a low voice: "You bastard, why didn't you write that you destroyed hundreds of thousands of Liang bandits' army? Humph, I don't know what to say."
At this moment, there is another person who is more angry than Qin Gang.
When Qin Gang returned to Qi, he tore up the military report and wrote another one.
But Comrade Lao Ma, he is really going to kill someone.
In the commander's tent of the Xiaoqi camp at the border, Ma Rujing kicked Xiao Zhi and shot him more than three meters away. With just this kick, Xiao Zhi almost lost his breath.
"You damn idiots, do you think I, Ma Rujing, the commander-in-chief of the border army, do you think you have?"
Ma Rujing's roar filled the entire military camp.
Except for Xiao Zhi, who was shot into the corner, all the six major battalions lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Order troops!"
Ma Rujing gritted his teeth: "The three battalions of Xiaoqi, Ma Gong and Ruishi came out of seclusion and brought the people back. If one of the people died, I will chop off your heads!"
"Commander, the third battalion left the border without any reason. This matter has been reported back to the capital. I'm afraid..."
"Shut up!" Ma Rujing yelled and interrupted: "My border troops are to protect the people and ensure their safety. The people are all fucking out of the confinement, and my border troops are still huddled behind the wall. What's more, if something happens to the people, how can I have the dignity to live in this world?"
Niu Ren said cautiously: "Prisoner Chu Zhengfei is a person who is targeting nothing. He is just ordering the people to bring the harvest back to the pass."
"Achievements?" Ma Rujing's face was as gloomy as water: "How many gains can he make? No matter how many gains he makes, can it be more important than the lives of the people?"
"I think it's quite a lot, General Mo. Just before he left prison, Superintendent Chu said that the meat he brought back would be enough for the brothers to eat for ten days and a half."
"Fart, there are 60,000 people in the frontier army. They eat meat every day. How many cattle and sheep will it cost? If he can bring back so many cattle and sheep, I will have the surname of Ma..."
Ma Rujing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately changed his mind: "If Chu Qing can bring back enough meat for the border troops to eat for a month, my commander's last name will be written upside down!"
After all, Lao Ma has a long memory, from ten days and a half to one month.
Xiao Zhi, who had just stood up, rubbed his chest and said nothing.
If the frontier army eats meat for two months, there must be five or six thousand of them. This is ridiculous.
"Asshole, a complete asshole."
Ma Rujing cursed a few more times in a low voice.
In his understanding, the more than 30,000 people could only bring back a few thousand cattle and sheep at most, and they couldn't be alive. The ones that were alive couldn't be brought back. They should be slaughtered directly on the spot and then cooked. Put it in a bag and bring it back on horseback.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Rujing felt that Chu Qing could not distinguish the important. The lives of the people must be the most important. Another thing is that you can walk and ride more than 20,000 war horses. If you are delayed on the road, , or was caught by a large tribe of Liang bandits. Not only the lives of the people were involved, but the war horses were also involved.
