Chapter 802 Epic
When the battlefield ended, it rained lightly.
There is not much rain, but it can mix the blood from the battlefield into one stream and flow into Yishui, dyeing it red.
The water in Yi is red.
Everything is over, but for Zhang Chong, the victor, this is still just the beginning.
He said to Cai Que, who was waiting next to him:
"Move the banner and move it closer to me."
Since the beginning of the war, the large apricot-yellow banner of the Taishan Army, which "acts for heaven", has been standing at the position of the central army and has not moved at all.
Zhang Chong didn't set up a flag before, just for a sneak attack. To a certain extent, he was a bit ungrateful.
But Zhang Chong acted openly and aboveboard, but that didn't mean he was pedantic. On the battlefield, this little trick was not burdensome at all.
Therefore, the flag standing on Yuan Shao's main formation at this moment is still the flag erected by Zhang Chong. Although this flag is not as solemn as the apricot yellow banner, it is enough for the nearby generals to recognize that this is where the king is.
Zhang Chong had no intention of raising this flag at first, but Pang De next to him tried to dissuade him, saying that it was too dangerous.
Zhang Chong then thought about the story of a certain commander who was shot by one of his own men while wearing a Japanese military uniform, and he immediately understood.
So he quickly asked Guo Zu to put up a flag on the slope.
In fact, this is still very dangerous, because Zhang Chong's marching flag is rarely displayed, so most officials cannot recognize it, but the generals do.
And this leads to a danger, that is, if any general has a confused mind and takes advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to directly lead his troops to surround and kill Zhang Chong, that is very dangerous.
Although the probability of this happening is very low, it still has to be prevented in advance.
In fact, Pound had also considered this extreme situation, which is why he insisted on asking the king to rush back to the Chinese army as soon as possible after setting up the marching flag.
Just because his status is still relatively low, if he says such sensitive words, it will be a disaster.
But who is Zhang Chong? Of course he heard what Pound was not saying, so he couldn't help but look at him a little differently.
Unexpectedly, Pang De was a good talent.
In fact, he also understood that Pang De also wanted to make progress this time. After all, as the system became more and more perfect, if mid-level military officials wanted to show their performance in front of Zhang Chong, it would be very small.
This time, Zhang Chong hid in the armored cavalry, and Pang De could temporarily lead the army because Ma Chao had other military affairs. This gave Pang De a chance to perform at close range.
And judging from the results, it’s not bad.
At this time, Zhang Chong already had two evaluations of Pound's inner skills and knowing how to advance and retreat.
Naturally, the reason for showing off was because Pound could think of things that were not what he wanted to think about, and because Pound didn't express his last thought, it was easier for him and Zhang Chong to deal with it.
Otherwise, what should Zhang Chong do if Pound is really stupid and says he needs to be on guard against the generals?
Although the two evaluations of "inner show" and "knowledge of advancement and retreat" are inconspicuous, they are actually very high, because along with these two evaluations comes usability.
At this moment, Zhang Chong no longer simply believed that Pang De was a general, but that he could be of great use.
In this way, Pound used his performance to complete the transformation of a fighter in the heart of the king.
Everyone knows that it is best to be a good fighter, but how long can you last for a long time? If you fight when you are young, can you still fight when you get older?
Besides, as far as safety is concerned, most generals will die in battle, but once they can be transformed into generals, both development and security can be further improved.
In fact, these ideas were not Pound's own, but some common ideas diffused in the military.
To be honest, people’s mentality is really different when starting a business and after it is successful.
At the beginning of the business, the generals in the army dared to fight and kill, and they dared to bring down the emperor. But as Taishan's army became stronger and stronger, especially after this decisive battle, he became the lord of the North.
In this way, the army began to have a female-protective mentality.
Everyone doesn't dare to die anymore, not only because of themselves, but also because of their family.
Most of the generals in the army come from the lowest level and have a very conservative mentality. When they get rich, their wives and children will be the hot bed.
In addition, some "guests" with good status convey a certain idea intentionally or unintentionally:
"If you want your descendants to be rich and worry-free, you have to live a long time, so that you can protect your descendants."
Moreover, these people often tell the story of the group of heroes in the early Han Dynasty, how these people joined forces and allowed their children and grandchildren to inherit their own titles, and their grandchildren to inherit their sons' titles, thus ensuring wealth for three generations.
In fact, these thoughts have also reached the hearts of some generals. In their view, these thousands of miles of beautiful country were conquered by them, and they and their children and grandchildren will naturally inherit it.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this idea that some generals in the army gradually became cautious and became afraid of death. Some even learn some guidance techniques privately, just to live longer.
As a mid-level military officer, Pang De still wanted to make progress, so he naturally disdained such a hen-guarding mentality.
And what about Zhang Chong?
What are the Feijun envoys used for? So he knew every aspect of the military. For those who dream of being rich for generations and want to eat and occupy more by living longer, Zhang Chong has his own methods for these people. Have they ever heard of something called "learning"?
Some generals come from the lowest level, and some military qualities are inevitably lagging behind. They cannot keep up with the Taishan Army's current needs for large group operations. Do they need to learn?
So is it appropriate for these people to take advanced classes at the Yecheng Lecture School of Martial Arts? So since you are studying, do you have to get a grade?
Understand, there are ways to punish you.
In fact, Zhang Chong has already done this. After the Battle of Kyoto, he had already asked the Yecheng Military Academy to send out a batch of admission notices to the "old veterans" in the army.
After this decisive battle, Zhang Chong planned to send out another batch.
There is no way, people always have to learn in order to transcend their original limitations.
……
Zhang Chong began to patrol the battlefield with his armored cavalry. He was not the only winner. In fact, everyone still on the battlefield at this moment was a winner.
Looking at the tens of thousands of victors gathered on the battlefield, even though these people had exhausted their energy in the battle, they still shouted with all their strength when they saw Zhang Chong.
The thunderous sound of long live the king was the endless admiration of the officials for the king.
At this moment, Xun You, Tian Feng and others who came from the Chinese Army saw this scene and sighed in their hearts:
Why should I be a king, not just because I am destined by destiny? It is even more beautiful in this world.
Amidst the cheers, the armored knights around Zhang Chong were all excited. No one could help but feel elated in this atmosphere.
Zhang Chong naturally saw the arrogance of these armored riders, but he did not blame them, because these people were not in the collision team around him. Those people had experienced too many such scenes, and their mentality was not comparable to that of these people. of.
So Zhang Chong just said lightly to the people around him:
"After victory, it is even more important to win the crown."
The armored knights were startled, understanding that this was the king's warning to them to win without being arrogant and to be always prepared. So everyone held their heads high, held their crowns in place, and put on their armor.
Sure enough, after those words, everyone's mentality changed.
The rain was still pouring down, and more and more generals began to gather around, but they did not speak, but followed behind the king.
They are all veterans and understand that the king will inspect the battlefield immediately after the war to see if any injured soldiers have been abandoned on the battlefield.
Of course, this act is more of a ritual.
Just like a peerless singer who quietly stays on the stage after the curtain call, savoring the last lingering notes.
Therefore, the generals did not dare to disturb him, although they did not know how eager they were and how much they wanted to offer their merits in front of the king immediately.
But gradually, as the rain fell heavier and heavier, more and more officials gathered around, and the impetuous mentality of the generals began to stabilize.
In the drizzle, the armor of the knights was fierce. Although the flags were drooping, they were held high by everyone. They surrounded the king like stars holding the moon.
Standing on both sides were countless tired Taishan military officials. They either held their heads high or fought hard with the support of their robes. Their robes were dyed red, but this moment was solemn and solemn.
On the remote battlefield, corpses were strewn across the field and blood flowed like rivers.
This scene, no matter how imaginative or skilled the painter is, cannot be presented, but with the joint "help" of nature and human beings, it has become an epic picture.
At this moment, the painters who came from the periphery of the Chinese Army were scratching their heads with anxiety. They were all graphic artists who had graduated from Yecheng University and worked with the army, and the best among them were also painters.
As Zhang Chong's influence on the world grew larger and larger, a lot of knowledge and technology that should not belong to this world emerged in Taishan's army.
Among them, the oil painting technique with light and shadow as the main tone is one.
At this moment, five or six painters have already discussed the pictures they are responsible for. Some are assigned to the exterior shots, some to the middle shots, and some to the close shots.
Only the best painter was assigned a close-up, which was to depict King Zhang's heroic appearance.
These natural scenes are what all painters dream of, but these images are fleeting, so they need to capture them immediately.
The apprentices held umbrellas in the rain, and the painters took charcoal and began to quickly draw sketches on the paper. The simple sketches were carefully stuffed into bamboo tubes for storage, and they continued to color after returning.
They had an intuition that this "Picture of Yiluo's Victory" would definitely leave a name for eternity. If this epic picture could be immortalized on paper, they would definitely become national champions.
Not to mention, at this moment, looking at the solemn scene in the distance, they felt in their hearts that it would be a real regret if they could not draw Wang Zhang's heroic appearance.
Perhaps after people see this painting, they will understand why the king was able to create such a great cause for eternity.
Therefore, everyone did not dare to neglect and put their efforts to the extreme.
In the distance, surrounded by crowds, Zhang Chong had already finished walking on the battlefield. After a long time, as if he had finished recalling everything, he said to the crowd:
"Go back to camp and cook! Slaughter the cattle to reward the troops and divide them among your subordinates to roast them!"
Then, all the generals behind him cheered.
It’s finally time to reward based on merit!
