Chapter 156 Destined to defeat the enemy
In Jingbian village, Tong Guan called Zhang Cai to his side again.

"Girl, the old man has sent the recommendation document to the imperial capital, and you only need to be approved and stamped, and you will be an imperial soldier." Tong Guan said, "It shows that you are a Zhizhai. According to the usual practice, from the seventh rank Wu Yilang, the annual salary is 500 shi , wearing a green robe. Although the official is humble and the position is small, he knows a village and is in charge of the military and people's livelihood of the whole village. I understand the old man's intentions and work hard."

Zhang Cai said with a smile: "Xie Enxiang, Cai understands this. I have taken care of both the military and the civilians. It is nothing more than being busy together."

Tong Guan was curious: "Have you managed the people?"

"When Lin Yunji was in Wenquanzhai, he devoted himself to training soldiers and preparing for war, and I was solely responsible for people's livelihood and grain storage." Zhang Cai replied.

"Oh, if that's the case, Lin Yang will at least be one of them in the annual assessment."

Putting the topic aside, Tong Guan expressed his worry: "Girl, it's hard for me, the empire has millions of soldiers, and there are not a few people fighting for official positions the size of sesame and mung beans like Zhizhai. You should know the nature of these soldiers, veterans on the battlefield Old soldier, you have been in the army longer than you, and some have military exploits and qualifications, such as the right warrior and the left warrior, there are too many fifth and sixth ranks. But girl, they will not recognize you in the Battle of Yinshan, which means that you have no military exploits; and in terms of seniority, you even worse”

"Enxiang has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Zhang Caili said bluntly.

"Okay, I won't go around in circles with you. The old man's recommendation belongs to the old man's recommendation. Based on the face of the old man in Bai Shizhong, the officials will not be embarrassed, but you need military achievements, otherwise"

"A member of the Donglin Party said: The eunuch is nepotism, please punish the six thieves." Zhang Cai said abruptly, pointing to himself, "I have become evidence, both personal and physical."

"Smart!" Tong Guan praised, "Qi Pingbo told you, why did he tell you about the Donglin Party? What do you think?"

"Father's views are idealistic, although absurd, but can be forgiven. As for me"

Speaking of this, Zhang Cai burst into tears and laughed: "To be honest, I have been to Jingzhou and Yuezhou. At that time, the governor of Jingzhou was a member of the Donglin Party. Looking at the herdsmen in power, if Yuezhou belongs to the Supreme Emperor Heaven, Jingzhou is the hell of Saples."

"Great eyes but low abilities, big ambitions and few talents, love to play tricks. This is the Donglin Party member in my eyes."

Zhang Cai asked: "Enxiang, there is something unclear about Cai, please ask Enxiang to clarify."

Tong Guan seemed to have expected it: "You want to ask the Donglin Party members like this, why not get rid of it?"

"Of course!" Zhang Cai's tone was taken for granted, "I have pustules on my body, if I don't get rid of them in time, do I have to wait for the pustules to grow bigger and threaten my body?"

Tong Guan hehe explained: "The words are reasonable, but girl, you are still young, and you can't just think about one side of things. The Donglin Party is simple, but its influence is very bad. Since the Emperor Taizu Wu, the empire has allowed the people of the empire to discuss and discuss politics. , not to be convicted because of words. The Donglin Party has no treason, no regicide, and no violation of the laws of the empire. What reasons are used to arrest them? Forget it, the more you care about him, the more energetic you become."

Seeing that Zhang Cai stopped talking, Tong Guan said: "Tell me right now, you need military merit, according to the system, pick and kill the three strong generals of the Iron Man, you can't be promoted to the eighth-rank Wu Yilang, and you are still short of the eighth-rank Wuyi Lang from Wu Yilang. Determining a strategy to defeat an army is a turnaround, and going to battle in person is another turnaround. This old man knows your ability, so now is there a way to defeat Zhe Letu?"

Zhang Caizi said: "Zhe Le has been fighting continuously for ten months, and he has defeated our 40 troops. He also killed General Liu, the governor of the Longyou Road. Exhausted, the iron energy is exhausted, it is not difficult to break."

Tong Guan leaned forward slightly: "Is there a good strategy?"

"Yes, but I still need to ask Enxiang a small question." Zhang Cai said, "Are all the soldiers of the Shengjie Army willing to fight the enemy to the death for your safety? They will not hesitate to die on the battlefield, and no one will collect the corpse."

Tong Guan's pupils moved slightly, staring at Zhang Cai's beautiful face.

After a long time, he said: "The Shengjie army was brought up by me. The general Wang Zhi, Zhonglang generals Xu Ning and Mu Hong were all brought up by me. I think they will!"

Zhang Cai got up slowly: "Then, the benefactor dares to fight with his back?!!!"

Tong Guan looked at her and warned viciously: "You are playing with fire!"

Last stand, there is a military war envoy recorded by the empire—and also the classic example he created. It was the first time he set up a battle to the death, the first time he chose the battlefield in a desperate situation, and it was the first time he was at such an extreme disadvantage. Hit more with less, overcome the crowd with few, smash the enemy army and kill its leader!

However, only the pioneer can win the last stand.

Throughout the ages, there have been too many generals who imitated his last stand.In the Battle of Lan, the famous general of the Calradia Empire, Wang Sunban, fought against the famous general of the Obasan Empire, Jainpud-Julius, and Wang Sunban’s 7 troops were wiped out; in the Battle of Ainjalu, the Calradian Empire The famous general Nangong Chou fought against the famous sand gold empire Mokaxi, 3 soldiers were defeated, and only 7000 survivors survived.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Tong Guan warned Zhang Cai not to play with fire, because the tactic of fighting with one's back is playing with fire!

Zhang Cai said unhurriedly: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated. How dare I play with fire?"

Tong Guan made his heart calm and calm: "Girl, keep talking."

"May I ask Enxiang, what do you think is the point of the last stand, and what can determine the outcome?"

Regarding Zhang Cai's question, Tong Guan didn't give a hasty answer: "Let me think about inspiring the courage of the soldiers to fight to the death and survive in desperate situations when there is no way out?"

"Enxiang's thinking is exactly the same as Wang Sunban, Nangong Chou and many other famous generals." Zhang Cai said.

"Oh? What do you think, girl?" Tong Guan asked back.

"The answer is very simple, please allow yourself to review that battle." Zhang Cai said eloquently, "When I was in the military academy, I analyzed this battle against the enemy more than once. The battle results are not all of them. They are deployed by the river, their backs are against the river, and they cut off their retreat. It is a deadly place in the art of war. As En said, it is possible to inspire soldiers to fight to the death, but it is not the key to victory. .On the day before the start of the war, he dispatched his farewell generals Bai Er, Zhao Tong, Xu Jie, Guo Da and others with 1 soldiers to detour to the enemy's rear. It is precisely under this front and back attack that the last stand was made to defeat the enemy and leave a reputation."

"did you mean."

"Times have changed, Enxiang can't find out, and the empires that have preserved manuscripts still make jokes about the last stand, what does the iron man think the last stand is? Seeking death? Seeking death and death?" Zhang Cai said: "Just withstand the onslaught of the Iron Man cavalry , and then send 3000 fine cavalry to attack, the iron man will be defeated!"
