His Majesty Li Er had a gloomy face and felt terribly aggrieved.
He felt it was unfair.
In order to achieve the great feat of being an emperor for eternity, I was obsessed with conquering Goguryeo. I prepared for this for several years and mobilized countless grain, fodder, soldiers and horses, even at the expense of leaving the Western Region and Mobei empty, so that the Hu people could take advantage of it and invaded the border areas several times. Intrusion, burdened with great pressure.
However, before the army could be launched, he lingered on his bedside, causing the great cause of the Eastern Expedition to be delayed again and again. Millions of troops gathered in the two states of Youying, but they could only wait and wait, not knowing when to launch the army.
Where is Fang Jun?
This guy was messing around and even listened to the imperial edict falsely conveyed by the traitor. He recklessly led his troops out of the White Road and plunged into the ice and snow of Mobei. Tigers and wolves looked around him. It was precarious and he could be swarmed at any time and at any time. Xue Yantuo's army encircled and annihilated him, losing his troops and humiliating the country.
However, it was such a group of Youtun guards who, facing the rock-solid Wuchuan Town, relied on the power of firearms to defeat them in one fell swoop, and then surged forward on the grassland moraine of Mobei...
Conquering Shi Yanran and sealing the wolf to Juxu have always been the supreme military honors of the Han dynasty. They are the ultimate glory that all men pursue throughout their lives. Compared with them, what does Goguryeo mean?
Even if Goguryeo was razed to the ground and crushed into powder, it would still be incomparable to slaying the stone Yanran and sealing the wolf to Xu!
It is clear that I am the son of heaven, but why is Fang Jun so lucky?
This made His Majesty Li Er feel very unbalanced.
It was just a matter of national affairs, so naturally he would not expose this little jealousy in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "The right guard is rushing forward wildly, and the formation behind it is empty. There is a fear of a sneak attack by the remaining troops of Xue Yantuo, and the troops from the northern Xinjiang states must be mobilized." How about we still cross Yinshan Mountain, enter Mobei, and cooperate with the actions of Youtunwei?"
Li Jidao said: "Song Junming, the governor of Shengzhou, sent soldiers and horses from ten states including Sheng, Xia, Yin, Sui, Dan, Yan, Zhi, Fang, Shi, and Xi to guard Shengzhou. He personally led an army of 50,000 from Hetao across the Yinshan Mountains to Mobei. Zhang Jian, the governor of Youzhou, led his troops to the east of Xue Yantuo. Li Xiyu, the governor of Liangzhou, led his troops to the north. General Xue Guwu, the general of Wuhou on the left, and Li Daliang, the general of the right guard, also commanded their troops to go to Dingxiang. Your Majesty Don't worry, with hundreds of thousands of troops marching out of Mobei, Xue Yantuo will definitely be defeated. In addition, Youwuwei Xue Wanche has already commanded his troops and left Baidao after Fang Jun, following right behind Youtunwei. I think he can guarantee Youtunwei's rear formation. It is safe and will not be intercepted and attacked by Xue Yantuo’s cavalry.”
rest assured?
It’s amazing that you can rest assured!
His Majesty Li Er rubbed his forehead irritably. In order to prepare for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the imperial court had actually mobilized troops stationed in various places. At the moment, it seemed that hundreds of thousands of troops were advancing on Xue Yantuo, but in fact it was equivalent to conquering Shengzhou, Lingzhou, Liangzhou and other places. If all the troops are used up, once something changes, the consequences will be disastrous.
And all this was because of Fang Jun's stick.
This is what is said about pulling one hair and moving the whole body.
But there is no other way now.
This is how war is, it is either not fought or not, and the two sides continue to conflict. It seems lively, but in fact it is very stable. But once the fight starts, don't yell nonsense, be sure to completely annihilate the opponent with thunderous momentum, and never allow the opponent a chance to fight back.
The stronger the offensive and the greater the determination, the less losses will be suffered and the smoother the process will be.
After calming down his irritation, he asked the captain of the Youtun Guard: "Do you know where the Youwu Guard is now?"
The captain respectfully replied: "When the general returns to Beijing, Youwuwei has already arrived at Wuchuan Town. General Xue will immediately lead his army north to support Youtunwei."
His Majesty Li Er was relieved.
Youtunwei is a new army, and it is an army formed by recruiting soldiers. In fact, no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty can make an intuitive conclusion about its combat effectiveness. The Youwu Guards are different. The Left and Right Guards have always been the most elite among the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty. It may be an exaggeration to compare one to ten, but it is really commonplace to win against an enemy several times your own.
Xue Wanche looks like a confused person, and seems not very clear-headed, but he is a natural soldier. As long as he reaches the battlefield, he will shine brightly and be the bravest of the three armies!
With Youwuwei behind, Youtunwei will at least not be disturbed by other interference. As for whether it can be pushed all the way to Yu Dujun Mountain, only God knows...
Li Daozong was also a famous general in the clan. At this moment, he frowned and said worriedly: "That Qibi Kele is the brother of Qibi Heli. They are known as the 'Qibi Double Eagles' on the grassland. This expresses his feelings for these brothers. The respect of Yinan Khan. There are countless powerful generals under Yinan Khan's account, but if we talk about a person who is both wise and brave, none is more than Qibi Kele. Otherwise, Yinan Khan would not entrust him with the important task of locking the throats of Wuchuan Town. If it is the city's attack and defense, the Xueyantuo people lack experience and should not be feared. But at this moment, Qibi Kele abandoned Wuchuan Town and led his army to retreat. The Youtun Guards pursued them so recklessly, but they wanted to confront them head-on. In a field battle, Youtunwei's firearms have the power to crack mountains and crack rocks. However, in the vast area of the ice and snow in Mobei, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are spread out in a melee. How can you have room to show off the power of firearms? Even if Youtunwei wins, it is bound to be lost heavily."
The implication is that Fang Jun underestimates the enemy.
He and Fang Jun have always had a good relationship, and now they are just discussing the matter without any intention of adding insult to injury.
However, he was fair-minded and discussed the matter, but others didn't think so...
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "That's nonsense! Soldiers are valuable and quick, of course it's true, but if they can't stabilize the rear, then they are greedy for merit! For their own selfish desires, to seize unparalleled merits, but regardless of the life and death of Pao Ze, the generals Brought to the heart of the enemy, we are about to face a heavy siege. A slight mistake can lead to the complete destruction of the entire army. It is almost impossible to forgive the sin!"
Recovering the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been the extravagant wish of the Guanlong nobles for generations. Now this honor has been robbed by Fang Jun. Changsun Wuji is so aggrieved. How can he watch Fang Jun continue to gain merit?
What's more, the vastness of Mobei is far beyond imagination. From Wuchuan Town to Yudujun Mountain, there are not only mountains and rivers, but also countless scattered barbarian tribes. Once Youtunwei invades alone, these tribes with fierce folk customs will harass the people behind. Formation, combined with the Wuchuan garrison led by Chibi Kele who retreated all the way in front, can surround you like a pack of wolves fighting tigers and leopards, and bite you madly, biting you until you are bloody, bite by bite, until you are divided and eaten. .
He had to set a tone now, and stop trying to make excuses when Fang Jun was defeated in the future.
The enemy is strong, the supplies are insufficient, the reinforcements are slow... they are all excuses. The reason for the defeat is that you Fang Jun was greedy for credit and made mistakes in his decision-making!
Li Ji and others frowned slightly, but didn't say much.
When Fang Junbing came out, it was true that Xiao Siye had "falsely conveyed the imperial edict" first, but the marching speed as fast as the wind and rain was indeed a taboo for military strategists. Of course, the key to a military strategist is to use troops quickly and quickly, but to seek quick success and gain an army in depth is also a recipe for death. How to weigh and differentiate between the two, and how to deal a fatal blow to the enemy with thunderous momentum while stabilizing the rear, is what matters. The difference between famous generals and mediocre people.
Compared with Li Jing who galloped thousands of miles to attack Yinshan, Fang Jun was obviously much worse.
It is always said that "a hero should not be judged by victory or defeat." However, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. How can it be irrelevant to victory or defeat?
If Fang Jun wins a great victory and goes straight to Yu Dujun Mountain to destroy Xue Yantuo's tent, he will naturally be famous for his achievements throughout the ages. However, if he returns with a disastrous defeat, he must bear all the responsibilities.
Not only would Changsun Wuji and others add insult to injury to eradicate Fang Jun, but even His Majesty Li Er had to bear the pain and impose severe punishments on him.
His Majesty Li Er had a gloomy face and waved his hand: "We will be outside, and you will not accept your orders. We are sitting here. Naturally, we do not know the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. It is useless to say more. We will wait for the battle report to arrive before proceeding. Let’s discuss it. In order to make progress, we must urge the soldiers and horses of all states to speed up the process. Even if this battle cannot destroy Xue Yantuo, we must defeat him to obey him and no longer dare to provoke trouble or make false promises of peace!"
Li Ji quickly responded: "Here!"
"Okay, let's all go back. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body..."
All the bosses stood up, saluted in unison, and then wanted to exit the Dragon Palace.
At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside the hall.
Wang De, the chamberlain's chief chamberlain, entered the hall in three steps and two steps at a time. Under the surprised eyes of all the big men, he came directly to His Majesty Li Er. His face was full of excitement and joy, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the right guard has just After receiving the good news, Fang's consort led his army to defeat Qibikele at the Nuozhen River. Tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's troops were wiped out. It was a great victory at the Nuozhen River!"
