Chen Qingzhi, Ziyun, born in a poor family, is a native of Guoshan County, Yixing County (now southwest of Yixing City, Jiangsu). In the turbulent times of the north and south, in the Southern Dynasty Liang, which did not have the imperial examination and selected talents with the "nine-grade Zhongzheng system", there was no hope for the children of the poor to come ahead. However, Chen Qingzhi was very lucky, he followed Xiao Yan as his attendant since he was a child.
Xiao Yan likes to play chess, day and night. The little friends who stayed up late to play chess with the leader couldn't bear it, only Chen Qingzhi was as immobile as a mountain. As soon as the leader called, he arrived immediately. usually obeys the rules and knows how to be polite, so he is very appreciated and loved by Xiao Yan. Later, Xiao Yan became Qi and established the Liang State. Chen Qingzhi naturally also entered the court as an official, but it was all about the main secretary and idle clerical work. During this period, he scattered all his family wealth, recruited talents, and had the ambition to serve the country. Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, accompanied by Chen Qingzhi, who was familiar with his ears and eyes, and was quite accomplished in military affairs.

Chen Qingchu was 41 years old when he went to the battlefield to lead the troops against him, and there is a saying that "ambition is not old". But he's growing at an astonishing rate, so let's take a look.
In 525 AD, the history of Xuzhou in the Northern Wei DynastyYuan Dharma monkThe rebellion failed, and he asked to be annexed to the Liang dynasty in Pengcheng. Emperor Wu of Liang appointed Chen Qingzhi as the general of Wuwei, and led the Liang army with Hu Longya and Cheng Jingjun to respond. After returning, Chen Qingzhi's official worshiped General Xuanmeng and Commander Wende, and led 2,000 men and horses to escort King YuzhangXiao ZongEnter the town of Xuzhou. In May, 20,000 horses from the Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack, and Chen Qingyi defeated the enemy's advance army. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Zong knew his life experience (he was Xiao Yan's adopted son, and his biological father was Xiao Baojuan, the abolished emperor of Qi), he defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, which led to the disintegration of the army and the disbandment of the Liang army on the spot. Fortunately, Chen Qingzhi's troops broke through the pass and retreated overnight, and the men and horses were saved.
In 526 A.D., Chen Qingzhi was given the Holiday Festival (plus the Fu Festival), the General Governor Military and the Anxi General Yuanshu to go on the expeditionShou Chun(now Shou County, Huainan City, Anhui Province), conquered 52 enemy cities, captured tens of thousands of men and women, and was given the title of Marquis of Guanzhong.
In 527 AD, Chen Qingzhi accompanied the general Cao Zhongzong to attack the Northern Wei DynastyVortex Sun(now north of Mengcheng County, Anhui), general of the Northern Wei DynastyYuan ZhaoLed an army of 500,000 to reinforcements. There was a huge disparity in strength, and all the generals of the Liang army did not dare to fight.
Chen Qingzhi said to Cao Zhongzong: ".The Wei people came from afarWe're tiredGo far away for meThere will be no doubtand its unsetIt must be frustratedSurpriseThere is no reason to be invincible。And when he heard that the camp of the captives was strong, the forest was very prosperous, and he would not go out at night. If you have any doubts, please take it alone. That is to say, taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and taking it by surprise, first attack its vanguard and dampen its spirit.
So Chen Qingzhi personally led 200 cavalry forward, breaking the Northern Wei forward, taking advantage of the Wei army's shock, Chen Qingzhi returned to the division and the generals to march to the battalion, according to the Wuyang City, and the Wei army. The two armies faced each other for a year, and the men and horses were exhausted and demoralized. Under the cover of night, Chen Qingzhi launched a sneak attack, put him to death and came back to life, ordered the soldiers to take the initiative to attack, and finally defeated the Wei army, killed a large number of people, cut off the flow of the vortex, and dropped more than 30,000 people in the city. Emperor Wu of Liang praised him as a "great husband".
In 528 AD, civil strife broke out in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Chen Qingzhi was ordered to lead 7,000 iron horsemen on white horses and white robes to escort the king of BeihaiYuan HaoThe Northern Expedition was actually helping him fight for the throne, so strictly speaking, it was not considered a Northern Expedition.
fromUldium（zhì）County(now south of Suixi County, Huaibei, Anhui Province, north bank of the Huhe River) set out to Luoyang, captured 32 cities in 14 months, 47 battles of all sizes, miraculously won all victories, and conquered the fortress Tiger Prison Pass within 3 days, and entered Luoyang.
The History of the South records: ".Forty years and thirty-two citiesForty-seven battlesUnstoppable
It is outlined below:
In 529 AD, Qiu Daqian, a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led a crowd of 70,000 to build nine cities to resist the Liang army. Chen Qingzhi led his army to attack, captured three cities in one day, and forced Qiu Daqian to surrender.
King Jiyin of the Northern Wei DynastyYuanhui industryLed 20,000 Yulin troops to come to aid and entered TunKaocheng(Northeast of present-day Minquan County, Henan). The city is surrounded by water on all sides and is heavily guarded. Chen Qingzhi ordered his subordinates to build a fortress on the water, captured the city, captured the commander Yuan Huiye, and obtained 7,800 rental cars. Liang Jun went straightGirders(now Kaifeng, Henan), where it passed, the Wei army looked at the wind and surrendered.
Soon, the Northern Wei sent 70,000 Yulin troops to defend Xingyang to resist the Liang army. The Wei army was both strong and the city was dangerous, and Chen Qingzhi failed to conquer it. When Wei general Yuan Tianmu's army was approaching, he sent his hussar general Er Zhu Zhao to lead Hu cavalry 5,000, and cavalry general Lu An to lead Xiazhou infantry cavalry 9,000 reinforcements. He also sent 10,000 cavalry to enter the tiger prison. The Wei army totaled 300,000 people and surrounded the Liang army.
This was the most exciting battle of Chen Qingzhi's 47th battle.
The Book of Liang records: ".Shi Xingyang was not pulledThe people were terrifiedKeizhi is unsaddled and shackledTell the peopleI've been sinceSlaughter the cityThat's a lotThe military killed his father and brotherChildren of omitted peopleThere is no calculationWe waited for seven thousandMore than 300,000 captivesToday's eventsRighteousness does not existI will ride the plains without fightingand not yet to the frontand its ramparts must be leveledThere is no suspicion of falsehoodSelf-slaughter
After listening to Chen Qingzhi's words, the cavalry of the Liang Dynasty was greatly boosted, and they all rushed to the Xingyang city wall with a heart of death. Soon, Yuan Tianmu and others led the army to besiege the city, and Chen Qingzhi led 3,000 elite cavalry to fight against the city and break the Wei army. Chen Qingzhi immediately attacked the tiger prison, and the enemy generals did not dare to fight, so they abandoned the city and fled.
Lord WeiYuan ZiyouI was frightened and ran awayThe eldest son(present-day Changzi County, Shanxi). Yuan Hao then entered Luoyang and changed the Yuan amnesty. Yuan Hao added Chen Qingzhi as a servant, a general of the chariot and cavalry, and a doctor of Zuo Guanglu, and increased the number of households. Chen Qingzhi then defeated Yuan Tianmu's 40,000 counterattack army.
Chen Qingzhi and his subordinates all wore white robes and were invincible all the way. So, there is a nursery rhyme in Luoyang that says: ".Famous teachers and generals are not imprisonedThousands of soldiers avoided the white robes。* When reading "Twenty-four History", when I saw this paragraph, I wrote this line of criticism: "It's fascinating to read! ”
It's a pity that after Yuan Hao entered Luoyang, he gradually revealed his true colors. "It is desolate in wine, but feasting day and night, and not looking at things again." Chen Qingzhi was suspicious of Yuan Hao, and Liang Jun's discipline was slack. Soon, the Northern Wei Dynasty was a powerful ministerErzhurongpersonally led the army, known as one million, "coerced the Wei lord Yuanzi to attack Hao". In the end, the legendary white-robed army was wiped out in Er Zhurong's strong **, and Chen Qingzhi fled back to Nanliang by disguising himself as a monk.
Xiao Yan rewarded Chen Qingzhi and promoted him to the general of the right guard, the Marquis of Yongxing, and sealed 1,500 households. In 535 AD, Chen Qingzhi attacked the Eastern Wei Dynasty and fought with the famous generals of the Eastern Wei DynastyYaoxiongFighting, both encounters were fruitless.
In 536 AD, Chen Qingzhi broke the army of 70,000 of Hou Jing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Hou Jing abandoned his baggage and fled, and Chen Qingzhi was crowned General Renwei for his merits.
In 539 AD, Chen Qingzhi died of illness at the age of 56. Emperor Wu of Liang was posthumously awarded to him as a free cavalry attendant and a general of the left guard, and was called Wu.
Chen Qingzhi, as a weak scholar, led a white-robed team to sweep the entire land of Heluo, such a demeanor is really admirable. It is said in the history books that he "can't shoot through the zag, and the horse is not convenient", his body is weak, he has no arm strength, and he is not good at riding and shooting. But he is bold, good at planning, and has a good way to lead the troops, and has won the hearts of the people. All-round talent in civil and military affairs, it can be said that he is a fairy figure in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
