First of all, people will be late when they reach middle age.

Chen Qingzhi was a disciple of Liang Wudi Xiao Yan since he was a child. He belongs to the well-educated category. Xiao Yan is a chess lover. He often likes to play chess all night. All the other waiters are asleep. Only Chen Qingzhi is on call, stays awake, and has the gift of seeing through each other's shortcomings or omissions at a glance, so Xiao Yan especially appreciates this young waiter.

In 50 1 a.d., Xiao Yan invaded Jiankang by taking advantage of the chaos of the Southern Qi King, killed Xiao Baojuan, the last emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and established himself as the Liang Dynasty. Chen Qingzhi, who was only 18 years old at that time, was appointed as the master book of administrative documents. Chen Qingzhi, though conscientious, is unwilling to serve as this civil servant for a long time. He always distributed his wealth to the soldiers around him, hoping to serve the court on the battlefield one day. But he is a poor civilian after all, and it is not easy to realize his wish in this era of attaching importance to family background. However, he never gave up and worked hard silently. Twenty years later, the opportunity finally came.

In the first month of 525 A.D., Yuan Fa, a monk from Xuzhou, Northern Wei Dynasty, failed to rebel, surrendered to the Liang Dynasty in Pengcheng and asked Liang Wudi to send troops to meet them. Liang Wudi led Chen Qingzhi as general Wuwei, and Hu Longya and Cheng Jingjun led Liang Jun to meet him. This is the first time in Chen Qingzhi's life. He is 4 1 year old this year. As the first battle of a famous soldier, he successfully completed the task. After returning to the army. He was promoted to general and Wende, and led 2000 people to escort Wang Xiaozong into Pengcheng occupied by Liang Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty didn't want to stop there. In May, Anfeng, Wang Yuan, Yanming, Linhuai, Wang Yuan and other places sent twenty thousand troops to stop Liang Jun from coming to meet Cheng Peng. Yuan Yanming sent his general Qiu Daqian to the camp to cut off Liang Jun's offensive route. But under the attack of Chen Qingzhi, this camp was quickly wiped out. This historical record is very brief, saying that Chen Qingzhi led troops to the front and beat the enemy out of the water with only one drum. The army successfully entered Pengcheng.

But then something went wrong. Because Changyu's Wang Xiaozhong always felt that he was the son of Xiao Baojuan, the last emperor of Nanqi. Although Xiao Yan of Liang Wudi made him king, something was wrong with him. Now it has reached the border between the two countries, and now it is so close to the northern Wei army. Xiao Baojuan's younger brother Xiao is an official there, so I'd better go to the countryside by myself. One night, he put down his army and went to the Northern Wei Dynasty alone. The next morning. Liang Jun looked around for Xiao Wen when Wei Jun shouted outside the city, "Your Wang Changyu defected last night. Now, in our army, you must surrender quickly! " Coach defected, no one commanded, the army was naturally in chaos, and the soldiers were scattered. Wei Jun followed, Liang Jun lost seven or eight times, and only Chen Qingzhi and his family returned safely.

In 526 AD, General Yuan Shu of Liang Anxi went to Shouchun to give Chen Qingzhi a day off and was in charge of all military operations. Li Xian, the secretariat of North Yuzhou, sent his son Li Changjun to build two cities to resist Liang Jun's attack. As soon as Chen Qingzhi arrived, he attacked and the two cities were quickly captured. Liang Jun continued to push forward, eventually forcing Yu Zhou Governor Li Xi 'an to surrender with a white flag, and Chen Qingzhi occupied Shouchun City. In this series of battles, the Liang Dynasty captured about 52 towns in Shouchun area, and most of Yuzhou belonged to the Southern Dynasty, so Chen Qingzhi was named as Guanzhong Hou.

At this time, when Chen Qingzhi people reached middle age, a series of battles changed him from a general to a famous soldier, and he had to show his talents.

Second, lead the arm

In 527 10, Chen Qingzhi and Cao Zhongzong jointly attacked Yang Guo in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Wang Yuanzhao, the general of Changshan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, led 654.38+500,000 troops to meet the enemy. The vanguard troops arrived at Tuojiang River, 40 miles away from the city. Chen Qingzhi is going to war. At that time, Cao Zhongzong's deputy, Wei Fang, believed that the vanguard of the Northern Wei Dynasty must be an elite cavalry unit. If they are defeated, they will not succeed. If they are defeated, it will affect the morale of the whole army. He also quoted the so-called principle in Sun Tzu's Art of War earlier and earlier, and advised Chen Qingzhi not to attack. However, Chen Qingzhi doesn't think so. He said confidently, "The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty has traveled a long way, and it is very tired and far away from us. Of course, we don't think we will take the initiative to attack them, and they will be defeated by us defenseless. Before the meeting was over, the army lost to us, which would definitely hurt their morale. Moreover, I heard that the northern Wei army was stationed in a densely wooded place, so I certainly didn't dare to patrol at night. If you have any doubts, I will lead the army to attack them alone. " Having said that, Cao Zhongzong and Wei Fang still feel risky. So, Chen Qingzhi led more than 200 people to carry out long-range attacks on the Qing army alone, and defeated the vanguard troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty overnight, which made the morale of the reinforcements in the Northern Wei Dynasty plummet, shocked everyone and made the reinforcements stagnate. Chen Qingzhi took the opportunity to return to camp, and rushed to Yang Guo at the gates with a great army overnight to meet the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But after all, Wei Jun is powerful, and the siege of Yang Guo has turned into a war of attrition from spring to winter. During this period, the two sides fought hundreds of battles, and the morale of the two armies was low. Northern Wei reinforcements camped behind Liang Jun many times, constantly threatening Liang Jun's supply lines. Some people, such as Zhongzong and Wei Fang, are afraid of being attacked from both sides, so they plan to withdraw. When Chen Qingzhi learned this, he took the gift from Liang Wudi and said loudly outside the military gate, "We all came to this place together. After a year's experience, the country has spent a lot of material and financial resources. But now most of the troops have no fighting spirit and just plan to retreat to save people. How can this serve the country? According to the art of war, when we die, we should cooperate with Qixin to kill the enemy, but you are negotiating a retreat. I have secret orders from the emperor. Anyone who dares to disobey the religion today, I will obey the secret order. " Cao Zhongzong and others were shocked by his imposing manner and infected by this spirit. They stopped talking about withdrawing troops. According to Chen Qingzhi's plan, Chen Qingzhi was in charge of fighting.

During the war, the northern Wei army built thirteen camps for the convenience of defense. One night, under the cover of darkness, Chen Qingzhi sent cavalry to raid Wei Jun, killing four battalions in a row. Yang Guo Shoujiang Wang Wei was impressed by Chen Qingzhi's courage and demanded a mutiny. The remaining nine camps are still strong and heavily guarded. Select more than 30 people from the Wei army surrendered by Chen Qingzhi, and let them go back and report the news of the fall of Yang Guo to the battalions of the Wei army, so as to blow the enemy's morale. Then, send troops, punch out and shout attack. Under the fierce attack of Liang Jun, the remaining nine battalions in Wei Jun were defeated one after another. Liang Jun took advantage of the situation, defeated Wei Jun, captured many people and cut off the swirling water. After World War I in Yang Guo, Wei Jun was completely annihilated. Since then, the Northern Wei Dynasty has gradually declined. Liang Wudi admired Chen Qingzhi's command very much and wrote: "He is not a noble man, nor is he a noble man. But in this battle, after careful consideration, he made the meritorious military service of Bletilla striata, became an unpopular scholar, and went down in history. This is the nature of a gentleman! "

October 28th. Neijiang came into being when the Northern Wei Dynasty competed for the throne. Gu, one of the royal families in Beihai, arrived in the Liang Dynasty. For strategic reasons, Liang Wudi decided to help Beihai King and ordered General Chen Qingzhi to escort Beihai King back to Luoyang to succeed him. In April, 59, Chen Qingzhi led his troops to pacify the Gaoxing Rebel Army in the Northern Wei Dynasty, captured Yingcheng and advanced into Guoliang. In order to resist, Wei led Qiu Daqian to build Nine Cities, and Chen Qingzhi led an army to attack, capturing three cities in one day and forcing Qiu Daqian to surrender. Yuan Ying proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangyang South. Ambassador Chen Qingzhi was awarded and appointed as General Zhenbei, National Guard and former military governor. But there were only 7,000 people under Chen Qingzhi at that time. At that time, Wei had nearly one million troops, ranging from seven thousand to one million, but Chen Qingzhi was not afraid. He led 7000 cavalry from the Liang-Wei border. In Wei, he attacked 140 days, during which there were 47 fierce battles. All the key battles of water, land, mountains and cities were won, occupying 32 cities, annihilating more than 654.38 million people and defeating and repelling about 300,000 troops. This brought great shock to the capital Luoyang. The northern Wei court had to give up Luoyang and retreat to Shanxi, and Luoyang became an empty city. What is even more surprising is that after Chen Qingzhi occupied Luoyang, 7000 cavalry suffered almost no losses. Therefore, there is a nursery rhyme in Luoyang that "a famous teacher does not imprison, and a thousand troops avoid white robes". At that time, Chen Qingzhi's troops were all dressed in white, which caused psychological shock to the enemy. When they saw the white robe, they had no intention of fighting.

Chen Qingzhi occupied Luoyang for sixty-five days. Later, due to deep isolation and the restriction of the early Yuan Dynasty, Wei Jun launched a massive counterattack and had to withdraw from the south. Zhu Rong, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led 300,000 troops in pursuit. He fought eleven battles in three days and was repelled by Chen Qingzhi. Back in Dengfeng, Henan Province, when he came to cross the river, he suddenly encountered a flash flood, and Chen Qingzhi's battle-hardened army died at once. Chen Qingzhi was not washed away by the flood because he was in charge of the temple himself. With the help of local monks, he disguised himself as a monk and fled back to Jiankang. Although Wei's attack ended in failure, he led 7,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, won great victories in Wei Jun, and entered more than 30 cities such as Luoyang with a few victories, creating the history of war. Therefore, after Chen Qingzhi's recovery, Liang Wudi was still named General Right and Emperor Yongxing.

Chen Qingzhi is very cautious. Every time he writes a letter, he washes his face before the service. Life is very simple, just wearing plain clothes is not good for silk and bamboo; Although he holds an important position, he cares about his soldiers, which is also the reason why his troops have strong combat effectiveness.
