Chapter 141 Sixteen words (monthly ticket plus more updates)
Outside Huangyugou in the dark moon and high winds, Zhu Zaijing and Teng Xiang retreated towards Shixiaying as planned. This time their ambush was very serious. Success, except for two unlucky guys who tripped over branches or rocks on the mountain when they were going down the mountain in the dark, broke an arm, and suffered some skin injuries, the rest of the people were safe. No loss at all.
Teng Xiang couldn't hide the excitement on his little face. He never dreamed that he could let the ferocious Tatars suffer such a big loss so easily. Prince Yu is really a mastermind!
Teng Xiang glanced back at the Tatar bandits who were scrounging on the ground to explode, and saw the sudden fire coming from the direction of the pigeon hole. He excitedly said to Zhu Zaijing: "Your Majesty, it looks like a pigeon hole. The reinforcements have arrived. Looking at the fire, they seem to be fighting fiercely. Should we go back and help?"
Zhu Zaijing looked at Teng Xiang's excited expression, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "How stupid! Humans? How many of us are we going to die now without even knowing how we died?”
After being scolded by Zhu Zaijing, Teng Xiang couldn't help but lower his head in shame. What he just said was indeed out of his mind.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Teng Xiang like this and sighed again: "This is not because I am unwilling to join forces with the reinforcements that appeared in the direction of Pigeon Cave, but because I am very aware of the strength of the Tatars. How strong is it? Although our ambush in Huangyugou seems to be very successful, it is definitely not to the point where this group of invading Tatars can be broken. As long as they react, they will explode soon. To produce stronger combat effectiveness."
"If we miss the time window to retreat, once our cavalry bites our tail, we will have no choice but to die. Are we going to die together with these two thousand and five hundred brothers? What we have to do now is to keep a safe distance as much as possible, and then try to find another opportunity. Only in this way can we ensure a perfect victory in this battle."
"And the reinforcements coming from the direction of Pigeon Cave are most likely infantry rushing along the Great Wall from Gubeikou. They must also lack heavy weapons. If they can rely on the Pigeon Cave Great Wall that has been destroyed by the Tatars, , they still have the strength to fight.”
“If they blindly give up their advantage and come down from the Great Wall to fight bloody battles, their courage is commendable, but they may cause some panic in the frightened Tatar troops. They would stampede and kill some of the invading Tatar bandits, but the end would be absolutely tragic. In the end, the Tatar troops would probably come back to their senses and pursue them one-sidedly.”
"And we still need to continue to attract the Tatar army to the next ambush location. Otherwise, all plans will be disrupted. By then, the battle will lose control of its rhythm, and they will soon plunder the capital unscrupulously. Suburban counties. "
"Therefore, I must not ruin the entire plan because of impulse, and let our victory fall by the wayside! Because the people in the suburbs of Beijing can't afford to lose, and we can't lose either! Therefore, we must focus on the overall situation and not be led by the Tatars in the war.”
Zhu Zaijing’s words were very long and the meaning was obvious. He would never look back and join forces with the reinforcements that appeared in Pigeon Cave to attack the panicked Tatar army.
Because the risk of doing this is too great. Not only will the existing results be wiped out, but they will also be in despair.
Faced with such a critical situation, Zhu Zaijing did not believe that he would be lucky enough to escape from the Tatar cavalry who were good at riding and shooting. After all, real life is not a novel or TV series, and the protagonists are all invincible Xiaoqiang. .
Zhu Zaijing knew very well that he was a human being with the naked eye. He would feel pain when he was injured, tired when he was exhausted, and he would be disabled if he had missing arms and legs.
So Zhu Zaijing would never be arrogant and lead 2,500 people to kill the main Tatar force on impulse and passion.
Because Zhu Zaijing knew that he was not alive as Huo Qubing, who was favored by heaven, he was able to make the Tatar invaders suffer such a big loss this time, all because of his poor knowledge of the future. . If you are arrogant because of this and think that you can take thousands of people like Huo Qubing and pick off the entire Xiongnu, then you are a fool who doesn't know how high the sky is.
Teng Xiang lowered his head in shame, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Zhu Zaijing said: "We walk slowly and keep a safe distance from the Tatars behind us. If they stop chasing us, we will send a team of troops to look back and fire a few shots to lure them to chase us. If They have been chasing us relentlessly, so we just need to release our speed and run forward."
"Remember these sixteen words: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we fight. I'm chasing. As long as you can understand these sixteen thoroughly, you can become a famous general from now on!"
Zhu Zaijing drew another cake for Teng Xiang, and Teng Xiang heard what Zhu Zaijing said. After these sixteen words, he seemed to suddenly realize something. He felt like a light flashed in his mind. He felt that as long as he grasped this light, he could really become the famous general of the generation that Zhu Zaijing said.
However, it is a pity that history is not fair and just enough. As long as Teng Xiang is still a eunuch, no matter how great his victory is on the battlefield, he will still be written in the style of Spring and Autumn by writers who write history. Checked.
Just like Zheng He, the great eunuch of the Yongle period. Although he was brave and good at fighting and proficient in various military strategies, in the mainstream cultural circle, Zheng He was just an eunuch who was ordered by the emperor to show off his power in the West. As for his achievements, they will be directly ignored.
It was not until a few years later that some people, in order to strengthen their cultural self-confidence and prove that their nation had made brilliant achievements before the Age of Discovery, dug Zheng He out of the historical archives and regarded him as the Age of Discovery. Pioneers come to commemorate.
But if you miss it, you miss it. No matter how much you commemorate it, it cannot make up for the fact that you started to be backward and conservative in the Age of Discovery. If those who come later want to reverse this backward situation, they can only close the gap by introspecting themselves, working hard to move forward, and constantly striving for self-improvement.
Otherwise, even if you shout slogans, even if you praise your ancestors as the wisest and capable people in the world, they will not change the current backwardness and stupidity.
Therefore, if you want to maintain an advanced attitude, the first thing to do is to respect people, their abilities and achievements, rather than wearing colored glasses and feeling good about others' identities and flaws. Go gossip.
Not only does this not make you look taller, but it also makes you look like an ignorant and fearless clown.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing feels that if one day he can have a certain right to speak, he must change the current concept of writing history, and the people who should shine can also be truthfully presented in history without any prejudice. recorded so that they can also have a fair historical treatment.
