In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a nursery rhyme in Luoyang: "General Mo Zilin, a famous teacher, avoided a white robe with thousands of troops and horses." It means that no matter how elite the army is and how famous the general is, we should avoid the "white robe" and avoid it. What is a white robe? Why can you have such prestige and awe? The white robe in nursery rhymes is a strong force in Nanliang period, named after all of them were dressed in white robes. There are only 7,000 white magic soldiers, so how can such a small army in the Southern Dynasties leave such a magnificent impression on the people of Luoyang, the capital of the hinterland of the Northern Wei Dynasty? Because the White Devil has a legendary leader, Chen Qingzhi. Under his leadership, 7,000 White Devils marched south and north, destroying the siege of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Wei Dynasty in less than five months. They fought 47 battles and were invincible, pulling out 32 cities in succession until they finally captured Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Such a record is really unparalleled in the history of China for thousands of years. Looking through the history books, we can see that in Chen Qingzhi's military career, this attack on Luoyang was just one of his many brilliant achievements. In the countless important battles recorded in the Biography of Liang Shu-Chen Qingzhi, none of them was defeated, and none of them was a great victory of the enemy at an absolute disadvantage. This is really a man of god.
The origin of Mo Wen. Chen Qingzhi, born in a poor civilian family, followed Xiao Yan since childhood. At that time, Xiao Yan had not turned against him, and Chen Qingzhi's position in Xiao Yanfu was just a little extremely. Xiao has a hot personality and likes playing chess. His addiction to playing chess can be described as forgetting to eat and sleep. He often plays chess with people all night. His chess friends, even if they are willing to please Xiao Yan, are helpless and can't let Xiao Yan play until he is exhausted. Chen Qingzhi, alone, is very energetic. As long as ZSZSZSZ wants to play chess, he is always on call, which makes Xiao Yan very happy.
In 502 AD, ZSZSZSZ ascended the throne of Emperor Nanliang. Chen Qingzhi, then only 18 years old, was appointed as the master book. The official position of the main book was established in the Jin Dynasty, belonging to the province of Chinese books. Originally a military attache, he was changed to a civilian in the Southern Song Dynasty. So when Xiao Yan ascended the throne, he regarded Chen Qingzhi as a scholar. According to Liang Shu, Chen Qingzhi "can't shoot through Zagreb, one horse can't do whatever he wants", which also shows that although he is not powerless in strength, he is by no means a valiant soldier of the three armed forces, which is the biggest difference between him and those eternal stars. "Talking about being proud of the piano book and waiting for the weather". As the chief book writer, Chen Qingzhi calmly observed the current situation and looked forward to working for the imperial court one day. 4 1 year-old, his chance has finally come.
In 525 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty witnessed the rebellion of the Yuan monk in Xuzhou, and the Yuan monk was trapped in Xuzhou after his failure. Knowing that the tide was over, Yuan surrendered to Nanliang and gave Xuzhou to Xiao Yan. So, Xiao Yan appointed Chen Qingzhi as a general and went out to meet the monks of Yuanfa. I'm afraid this meeting didn't meet with much resistance. I'm afraid this is also an opportunity for Xiao Yan to show his former chess friends in their forties. In a word, Chen Qingzhi was appointed as General Meng Xuan and Head Coach of Wende after successfully taking over as the monk of Yuanfa. But Xuzhou has not really fallen into the hands of Nanliang at this time. The urgent task is to take over Xuzhou's sovereignty as soon as possible. So Xiao Yan immediately sent his son Zhang Yu Wang Xiaozong to take over Xuzhou, and sent Chen Qingzhi to lead two thousand troops into Xuzhou with Xiaozong's army.
Xuzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists, which is of great strategic significance to Wei Liang, who is divided into north and south. Of course, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not allow Xuzhou to fall into the hands of Nanliang, and immediately mobilized Yuan Yanming and Mi Yuan to lead twenty thousand troops to intercept Xiaozong. Yan Ming sent his men to build a fortress against Qiu Daqian to stop Liang Jun from advancing, and Liang Jun was in a very unfavorable situation. But Chen Qingzhi shook the enemy's position with two thousand men. At the beginning of the battle, there was a one-sided situation. Liang Jun, which was at a disadvantage, fell, while Wei Jun, which was superior in strength and terrain, was defeated.
In 2000, people used to describe Chen Qingzhi's devastating offensive that tore open the enemy's defense lines. Although the first battle was successful, unexpected changes took place at this time. The problem lies in Xiao Zong, commander-in-chief of South Liang Jun. He left the whole army overnight and surrendered to Wei Jun alone. Therefore, when chaos came, Wei Jun and Liang Jun suffered heavy losses. Only Chen Qingzhi led the troops to break through. Although the battle ended in a cowardly way, Chen Qingzhi showed great military talent.
This was an eventful autumn in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In 526 AD, Hu Taihou's autocratic power caused a series of civil strife in the Northern Wei Dynasty. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Nanliang. South Liang Anxi general Yuan Shu attacked Shouchun, accompanied by Chen Qingzhi, who was in charge of military command. This war won a great victory in Nanliang, and won 52 cities in the Northern Wei Dynasty, including Shouyang. In recognition of Chen Qingzhi's outstanding performance in the Battle of Shouchun, Xiao Yanci named him Guanzhong Hou. After this battle, Chen Qingzhi has grown into a general who can fight.
In 527 AD, Heaven visited Nanliang again. At this time, Jung of the Northern Wei Dynasty led the rebels to capture Xindu and besieged Yecheng. On the other hand, Xiao rebelled in Chang 'an and proclaimed himself emperor, and other rebellions, large and small, followed. Liang had just won Shouchun the year before last, and attacked Guangling and Yang Guo. Cao Zhongzong was commander in chief of Nanliang, responsible for attacking Yang Guo, and Chen Qingzhi was also a fake in this army at that time. In order to solve the siege of Yang Guo, the Northern Wei sent Wang Yuanzhao, the general of the Southern Expedition, to reinforce Yang Guo with an army of1.5000. Wei's vanguard troops marched to Tuojiang River, 40 miles away. Chen Qingzhi pushed for consensus and proposed to take the initiative. He personally led hundreds of people, suddenly attacked and defeated the enemy. This battle dealt a great blow to Wei Jun's morale, so that Wei Jun's reinforcements failed to reverse the situation on the battlefield in Yang Guo, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

Yang Guo War lasted for half a year, during which hundreds of battles were fought, and both armies were close to a spent force. At this time, Wei Jun sent reinforcements and began to build fortifications in the rear of Liang Jun. Cao Zhongzong was afraid of being caught between Scylla and Charybdis, while Liang Jun was demoralized and ready to retreat. When Chen Qingzhi heard the news, he stood at the gate of the camp holding the scepter given by the emperor and said, "This time, it took nearly a year to send troops, which cost the country a huge sum of food and experienced numerous battles. What I am thinking about now is not how to win, but how to withdraw. You want to contribute to your country, but you rob it in the name of marching. I have heard a truth, before you die, you must die. Since you insist on going back, I have to take out the secret edict given to me by the emperor and follow the instructions inside. " After this speech, Chen Qingzhi gained the actual command of Liang Jun.
At that time, Wei Jun built thirteen fortresses around Liang Jun, which were in a corner with each other. So Chen Qingzhi chose the elite of the army, took advantage of the night title, and captured the enemy's four fortresses overnight. After half a year's consumption, the defenders of Yang Guo at this time are close to collapse. Yang Guo Shoujiang Wang Weikai surrendered. The remaining nine fortresses in Wei Jun are still very strong. Chen Qingzhi deus ex, hang the captive's head in front of you.
World War I in Yang Guo made Chen Qingzhi famous all over the country. Xiao Yan highly praised his decisive action this time, and personally issued a letter of commendation: he is not a famous family, he is eager for the wind and cloud, that's all. You can think deeply about the strangeness, but good deeds will be rewarded. Zhu opened the door to entertain guests, and the bamboo silk raised its voice. Aren't you a gentleman?
In 528 AD, there was another coup in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Hu Taihou poisoned his 19-year-old son Xiao Mingdi and established three-year-old Yuan Zhaodi. In the name of revenge for Emperor Xiaoming, Zhu Rong set out for Luoyang and slaughtered more than 2,000 courtiers such as Hu Taihou and Little Emperor outside Luoyang. This is the famous change in Yin He. For a time, everyone in the Northern Wei Dynasty surrendered to Nanliang, including Wang Yuanhao of Beihai. After Yuan Hao surrendered, he asked Xiao Yan to become the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. ZSZSZSZ cheerfully agreed to his request, and immediately sent Chen Qingzhi to lead 7000 people to escort Hao Yuan to the north. Xiao Yan seems to have little hope for Hao Yuan. Sending only 7,000 people to escort him into the Northern Wei Dynasty is almost equivalent to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. Of course, the final outcome surprised everyone, because Chen Qingzhi was the leader.
When the army arrived in the south of Suiyang, Hao Yuan couldn't wait to be king and gave Chen Qingzhi a bunch of high officials and dignitaries. This shows the dependence of the exiled "emperor" on Chen Qingzhi. Qiu Daqian, commander-in-chief of Suiyang, was Jiang Wei who broke his fortress with two thousand soldiers when Chen Qingzhi made his debut. At this time, he had 70,000 troops to deal with Suiyang. This time, he didn't dare to despise Chen Qingzhi any more, and even set up nine battalions outside Suiyang in an attempt to stop Chen Qingzhi's northward advance. It was a battle between 7000 expeditionary forces and 70000 garrison troops, but it took less than a day from start to finish. Chen Qingzhi began to attack in the morning, and by about four o'clock in the afternoon, three of the nine company battalions had been captured, and Qiu Daqian led the rest of the troops to surrender.
In order to prevent Chen Qingzhi from continuing northward, Yin Ji generals Wei Zhengdong and Wang Yuanhui led Lin Jun to station 20,000 people in Kaocheng. The terrain of Kao is very special, and the surrounding cities are surrounded by water. Huiyuan's insiders believe that relying on natural barrier, we can figure out how Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 troops can conquer Kaocheng. Unexpectedly, Chen Qingzhi built a floating base on water, easily conquered Kaocheng and captured Huiyuan Industry alive. In the First World War, Liang Jun captured a large number of trophies, including 7,800 chariots. After conquering the city, the army continued to advance westward, and the defenders of Wei Jun went all the way south.
At this time, the domestic situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty changed. Er Zhurong wiped out hundreds of thousands of insurgents with 7,000 elite cavalry in Yecheng and defeated the separatist regime in Chang 'an. Other rebellions were suppressed, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was able to gather powerful forces to deal with Chen Qingzhi temporarily. At this time, Chen Qingzhi's expeditionary force was shot dead by the left servant of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and 70,000 troops led by Yu Yang gained a firm foothold in Xingyang. And Mufenger Zhu ordered the army to March to Xingyang day and night. Jules Shilong led ten thousand troops into Hulao Pass, cutting off Chen Qingzhi's retreat. The 70,000 troops stationed in Xingyang are well-equipped, and the high pools and deep pools in Xingyang are impregnable. Yuan Tianmu brought the battle-hardened elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. This time, the Northern Wei Dynasty mobilized the most elite military forces in China and vowed to destroy Chen Qingzhi at the gates of Xingyang.
When Yuan Tianmu's reinforcements appeared behind Chen Qingzhi, Xingyang was still not conquered. Liang Jun's morale began to waver when he saw that his side was caught between Scylla and Charybdis. At this time, Chen Qingzhi ordered his troops to take a break. His opponent's soldiers said: "We fought all the way, attacked the city and plundered the land, killed the people's fathers and brothers countless times, and robbed the people's children. So Yuan Tianmu's men became sworn with us. Now we have only 7,000 people and the enemy is close to 300,000. Today, we can only hold the belief of decisive battle. Yuan Tianmu brought cavalry. If we fight in the plains,
Then, Chen Qingzhi took advantage of the moment when Mu Dajun had just arrived and was in an unstable state, and led three thousand cavalry to fight back against the enemy. Wei Jun didn't expect that Liang Jun, who had just fought bloody battles and was exhausted, dared to give up the favorable conditions of Xingyang and take the initiative to attack and break the enemy several times. Probably too unprepared. In short, the result of this battle was that tens of thousands of Wei Jun were defeated, and Yuan Tianmu led dozens of people to ride north alone. Chen Qingzhi's 56-point attack bypassed Hulao Pass. At this time, Hulao Pass Jules Shilong had been frightened by Chen Qingzhi, and seventy thousand defenders in Xingyang were vulnerable, not to mention a mere ten thousand troops. Jules Shilong didn't even hesitate. He immediately gave up Hulao Pass and ran away. At this point, in Jiang Wei's mind, Chen Qingzhi is as invincible as God helps. Emperor Xiao Zhuang fled to Hanoi in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Chen Wei, who stayed in Luoyang, was very clever and went into Luoyang to meet Hao Yuan. So Yuan Hao grandly sat on the dragon chair and proclaimed himself emperor.
The majestic road is as solid as iron. From 2002 10, Datong experienced a long-distance attack of about 140 days. Chen Qingzhi led his 7,000 white-robed warriors all the way to attack the city, and finally arrived in Luoyang from Anhui. It is a miracle in military history to smash several large-scale enemy encirclement and suppression and eliminate the Xianbei elite known as cavalry. Unfortunately, at this time, Xiao Yan was keen on Buddhism in Tongtai Temple, greedy for ease, not enterprising, and lost the opportunity to unify the north and the south.
Ironically, after Yuan Hao ascended the throne, he was not only greedy for pleasure, but also short-sighted and ignorant of current events. When the situation in the north was chaotic and Erzhurong was besieged, he did not try his best to unite Nanliang to resist the enemy, but considered how to get rid of the shackles of Nanliang. At this time, Chen Qingzhi already felt that Yuan Hao was not a successful monarch. But he knew that his task this time was to protect Yuanhao. Before receiving the latest instructions from Nanliang, he still had to try his best to prop up a mess for Yuanhao. Advice to Hao Yuan and Chen Qingzhi: "There are still many places in the north that have not surrendered, and our troops are too few. The enemy doesn't know our actual situation yet, but once they know it, I'm afraid they will fight back crazily. Therefore, it is imperative to ask the emperor to send reinforcements as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in the north. " Hao Yuan had no problem at all. After listening to Chen Qingzhi's advice, he was afraid. He originally wanted to do it, but later Yuan Yanming slandered and said, "Now Chen Qingzhi has only a few thousand people, and we can't control him anymore. If we give him more people, won't our kingdom of David fall into the hands of outsiders? " Hao Yuan listened to rumors, in order to prevent Chen Qingzhi from bypassing himself and asking ZSZSZSZ for reinforcements, he secretly submitted a secret play to ZSZSZSZ, falsely claiming that the situation in the north was stable. In order to prevent local panic, he begged Nanliang not to send troops to the north for the time being. After receiving Hao Yuan's letter, Xiao Yan ordered the reinforcements planning to go north to stop and wait at the border. At this point, in fact, Nanliang lost an excellent opportunity to unify the north and the south.

At this time, Er Zhurong has assembled about 300,000 troops in the north, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack Luoyang. Sixty-five days after Yuan Hao entered Luoyang, Er Zhurong sent troops to Luoyang with Emperor Xiao Zhuang who escaped from Luoyang. The Northern Wei army was personally commanded by Er Zhurong, a once all-powerful military genius of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and finally had to confront the rising star Chen Qingzhi. I heard that Rong's army went south, and those places that surrendered to Yuan Hao in the early stage betrayed Rong. The situation is very unfavorable for Hao Yuan. In order to gain the strategic initiative, Chen Qingzhi led his 7,000 people across the Yellow River and stationed in the center of Cheng Lang. At the gate of the central motorcade, fighting the northern Wei army. In terms of numbers, Chen Qingzhi is at an absolute disadvantage. The commander-in-chief of the Northern Wei Dynasty was Er Zhurong, who once defeated hundreds of thousands of insurgents in Jung with 7,000 troops. By rights, Chen
In the face of a strong enemy, Er Zhurong used a trick that has been tried and tested since ancient times in order to stabilize the military. He asked a man named Liu Zhu to stand up and say that according to this astronomical phenomenon, Henan can be pacified in ten days. I have to admit, this trick is quite useful. Erzhurong's army temporarily stabilized its morale and did not cause a rout. It can also be seen that Chen Qingzhi's attack on Erzhurong's army is very serious. Zhu Rong dared not attack Chen Qingzhi head-on, crossed the Yellow River secretly, bypassed Chen Qingzhi's guarding city and went straight to Luoyang. Of course, Hao Yuan is fragile, and his army is crumbling. At this point, Linying's short-lived regime also died. Yuan Hao's regime ended, so Chen Qingzhi had to lead his men to retreat to Nanliang. Rong Er personally led the army in pursuit of Chen Qingzhi's troops. Chen Qingzhi's troops encountered flash floods in Gao Hao, and the troops crossing the river were swallowed up by the flood. Fortunately, Chen Qingzhi himself survived. Chen Qingzhi, who lost his army, had to disguise himself as a monk in order to avoid the raid of Erzhurong's army and fled to Yuzhou, where he got help from the local people before returning to Nanliang. Back in Nanliang, Xiao Yan greatly improved Chen Qingzhi's reward, promoted Chen Qingzhi to General Right and Hou Yongxing, and sealed 1,500 fiefs.
Soon, Chen Qingzhi was appointed as the secretariat of Northern Yanzhou, and later became the viceroy. Responsible for the military defense of the Huaihe River Basin. Since then, he has been ensuring the stability of the situation north of Nanliang with excellent military capabilities. During this period, several large-scale wars took place. First, the rebellion between Qiang monks and Cai Bolong. Strong monks claim to be good at witchcraft and incite people. Assemble 30 thousand troops in a short time and capture North Xuzhou. Yin Taishou abandoned the city and fled, and the Taishou was killed. At this time, Chen Qingzhi sent his troops to crusade and wiped out the rebellion as easily as blowing off dust. Since then, Chen Qingzhi has led the troops to attack the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and defeated Loufeng, the secretariat of Yingzhou, Sima Gong, the secretariat of Yangzhou, Hou Jin, the secretariat of Yuzhou and Liangzhou successively. After several battles, the northern border of Daliang gained temporary stability. So Chen Qingzhi adopted a policy of recuperation and developed production in border cities. In just two years, there are many treasures.
In 539 AD 10, Chen Qingzhi died at the age of 56. Behind him, it is also an honor of sorrow and joy. Make him a general and posthumous title a marquis of Wu. This is the curtain call of a legendary military commander.
