Chapter 750 Bai Qi vs. Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai
Chapter 748: Bai Qi vs. Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai
Why are the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai so low?
The military achievements and literary achievements of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai are much worse than those of the "Three Heroes of the First Year of the Han Dynasty" and the "Twenty-four Meanors of Lingyan Pavilion". Of course, this is not because they are not capable, but because they do not have the opportunity to perform.
In the process of unifying the world, the opponent of the "Three Heroes of the First Year of the Han Dynasty" was a famous general like Xiang Yu, while the opponent of the "Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion" was a hero such as Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other heroes.
The opponent of the "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai" is Zhang Bu, Gongsun Shu, Chimei, and Green Lin. Victory has long been destined, so it is difficult to fully demonstrate the ability of the "Twenty-Eight Generals", and later generations do not like such stories that lack suspense.
After unifying the world, Liu Xiu "retreats the meritorious officials and promotes civil servants", Confucian scholars took power, and the "Twenty-Eight Generals" also withdrew from the historical stage. For example, Feng Yi and Kou Xun all had the talents of the prime minister, but there was no room for them to play.
The heroes under Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and other subordinates can continue to participate in the government after the world is unified, which increases the opportunity to increase their popularity.
After the unification of the world, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and others sent generals to conquer foreign tribes, such as Li Jing''s destruction of the Turks, which also added great popularity to the heroes.
After Liu Xiu unified the world, he detained his martial arts and cultivated his culture and did not easily fight. The heroes had no chance to fight and could not improve their reputation.
The "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai" also lack "explosive" events.
There have been many incidents of rebellion by heroes in history. Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang have also killed the heroes, but the "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai" are all loyal and have no rebellion.
Liu Xiu was also very kind and did not kill a single hero. This way, there is a lot of topicality.
In fact, there were no famous figures throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty except for the Three Kingdoms period.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was the most prosperous era of Confucianism in history. It was unified and conservative in thought, and lacked a hundred schools of thought, so it was not easy to produce interesting characters.
Of course, although the 28 Generals of Yuntai are not famous, their abilities are no worse than those of the elites of any period.
Take Zhu You, who had already died in battle as an example. If he hadn''t had his bad luck hit Li Cunxiao, with his strength to reach the top of the top, he would not have been able to enter the list of generals in the future.
In the last time, Liu Xiu was born with 15 people alone. Except for Yin Lihua, the other 14 people belonged to the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.
Among these 14 people, except for Jia Fu under Dong Zhuo, Zhu You who died in battle, the other 12 people are now under Liu Xiu''s command.
They are: Deng Yu, Wu Han, Geng Yan, Kou Xun, Cen Peng, Feng Yi, Ji Zun, Jing Dan, Gai Yan, Jian Han, Geng Chun, and Zang Gong
Liu Xiu knew the power of Qin Hao''s generals, but he still dared to fight Bai Qi. This confidence comes from the ability of his generals. However, when Zhu You was instantly killed by Li Cunxiao, Liu Xiu couldn''t help but be shaken.
Although Zhu You was not the strongest general under Liu Xiu, he was also one of the strongest ones, but he couldn''t even hold on for a single round in Li Cunxiao''s hands, which forced Liu Xiu to admit that he was indeed inferior to the Qin army in terms of generals.
"The Qin army has peerless generals like Li Cunxiao, so they must not fight the generals in the decisive battle." Liu Xiu said in his heart.
In the war of more than 100,000, except for the pervert like Li Yuanba, even Xiang Yu''s personal role was not obvious.
Liu Xiu was not prepared to fight against the generals, which was the most wise decision for the coalition forces, and directly completely blocked the advantage of the Qin general Wu Yong.
"As long as we don''t fight the generals, the Qin army will not be able to hit the morale of our army. At that time, with the advantage of our army''s number, we can even drag the Qin army to death."
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xiu couldn''t help but look forward to Bai Qi''s arrival, and he was full of confidence in the victory of this battle.
"Bai Qi said that the time and location of the decisive battle will be determined by him. Our coalition has agreed to him, but why haven''t we come yet?" Huang Zu said with an impatient look on his face. Liu Xiu was also afraid that Bai Qi would make a fraud, so he specially surveyed the decisive battlefield several times and decided that there was no problem before he dared to agree.
The place where the decisive battle is twenty miles away from Yicheng. It is a place where a horse is flat and it is impossible to set up an ambush. This is indeed a fair place for both sides.
After the better the decisive battle, Liu Xiu ordered Wei Wentong to lead 5,000 troops to continue to siege Yicheng, while he led 80,000 troops in advance, waiting for a decisive battle with Bai Qi''s 30,000 troops.
Liu Xiu looked at the sun above his head and frowned, "Wait a little longer, it should be coming soon. Bai Qi doesn''t need to cheat in this regard."
"Report... Bai Qi''s army has left the camp and is rushing towards our army."
The princes'' expressions improved a little when they heard this. After all, they asked to come in advance. But who knew that it was cloudy for several days in a row, but today it turned sunny. They stood in the sun and exposed themselves to the sun. No one would be happy if they were.
"Report... Bai Qi''s army is less than ten miles away from our army."
"Report... Bai Qi''s army is less than five miles away from our army."
"Report... Bai Qi''s army is less than two miles away from our army."
When Bai Qi led his army to the battlefield was already Shenshi (3:00 pm). Bai Qi walked slowly for several hours after such a distance. The 80,000 coalition forces in Jingzhou also "waited" Bai Qi''s army for several hours under the sun.
On such a hot day, no one can not sweat when exposed to the sun for a few hours, but the coalition forces did not sweat as they imagined.
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao asked with confusion: "General Bai, is the enemy army not as tired as imagined?"
A trace of understanding flashed in Bai Qi''s eyes and said lightly: "Liu Xiu should have divided the army into three groups, one group to warn the other two tribes to rest, so as to try his best to retain his physical strength."
"Then is our tired soldiers'' plan a failure?" Ran Min asked.
"No."
Bai Qi shook his head and sneered, "It still works. In addition, although Liu Xiu saw through our general''s fatigue plan, he did not see through another layer of intention. You will know the real intention of this general''s decisive battle here in a while."
At this moment, a cavalry rushed to the front of the formation and shouted, "My general invites General Bai Qi to meet in front of the formation."
Everyone''s eyes were focused on Bai Qi, and Zhou Yu asked, "General, will you go?"
"Go, of course, go. If I don''t go, wouldn''t I be inferior to Liu Xiu in terms of momentum?" Bai Qi sneered.
"Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, you two go with me, and the rest of you will do their jobs."
"No."
When Bai Qi brought Li Cunxiao and Ran Min to the touchdown, Liu Xiu was already waiting here with the twelve generals of Yuntai, but Liu Xiu''s face was not good, and he was looking at Bai Qi with a gloomy face.
