Changsun Wuji deeply believed this.
He had never paid much attention to Fang Jun before. Although he had a father like Fang Xuanling and married His Majesty Li Er's daughter, so what? Mud can't hold up the wall. At most, it can only be a life of fine clothing and fine food. How can it be compared with my own thousand-mile horse that has won the praise and favor of His Majesty and the Queen?
However, since Fang Jun suddenly rose to prominence and fought against him several times, not only did he not gain any advantage, but he was restrained in every aspect. Now he has become a big problem and has become a serious problem for himself. Changsun Wuji's perception and evaluation of Fang Jun have long been changed. Compared to the past.
Not only did he regard Fang Jun as a leader among the younger generation, but he did not even treat him as a junior. He unknowingly pulled him into his own generation and became a strong rival...
How could such an outstanding rising star, whose skills and abilities were among the best in the world, resort to such a trick that could be seen through at a glance?
It's unreasonable...
Frowning his eyebrows, Changsun Wuji asked: "In your opinion, who did this?"
Yu Wenjie lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "I'm humble and stupid. I really can't guess. I don't dare to confuse your train of thought."
This is the difference brought about by the difference in status. As a staff member, you only need to raise questions and list reasons, which is considered to be fulfilling your duties. But Changsun Wuji is the leader of Guanlong. He needs to analyze the questions, reasons and even possibilities raised by his staff, weigh the pros and cons, and finally make a decision.
So we can’t just see the support and flowers brought by power. Not everyone can make the right decision in a difficult situation and have the courage to bear failure...
Changsun Wuji pondered for a long time, slowly shook his head and said: "It is currently difficult to guess who did it. Moreover, it is impossible to tell whether the destruction of the Yang family's private army in Luoyang was an accident or a deliberate act. There is a huge difference between the two. Just ignore it."
This matter caused him great headache. These private armies of the clans entered Guanzhong either at his invitation or through coercion and inducement. Once the entire army was destroyed, the clans behind them would definitely hate his eldest grandson Wuji to the bone. After all, this was not the case. It is the foundation upon which clans and clans everywhere maintain their power. Once it is lost and the foundation is severed, who can bear it?
But even though he was furious, he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only wait and watch the development of his gaffe, wondering how his eldest grandson Wuji had ever been so cowardly and suppressing his anger...
Yuwenjie nodded, thinking this was the best way to deal with it.
The first priority right now is to reach peace talks as soon as possible. As long as the war is eliminated, it doesn't matter how high the price Guan Long pays. After all, it can maintain its foundation and will eventually rise again. But if the situation is allowed to continue to be chaotic, or even actively participates in it, causing all parties to fight endlessly, then Guan Long's family fortune will probably be wiped out.
One word, endure.
If you can endure it, endure it, and if you can't, endure it.
If you hit me in the mouth, I have to bear it, otherwise the other person might just escape and stab me hard with the knife...
*****
It was already evening when Li Ji received the news of the destruction of Yang's private army in Luoyang.
The continuous rain for many days finally came to an end. In the evening, the clouds opened and the rain dispersed, and the long-lost colorful clouds filled the western sky, as gorgeous as the brocade of the heavenly palace.
But Li Ji didn't get into a good mood because of this...
He looked at the report in front of him in astonishment: "Isn't this a frame-up?"
No one knows better than him whether to send troops to annihilate the Yang family in Luoyang. After Cheng Yaojin sent out troops to annihilate the Duan family's private army in Nanyang without permission, he strictly ordered all troops stationed in the camp not to leave without authorization. Anyone who entered or left the camp for more than fifty people would be reported. He must personally approve the delivery to the Chinese army's tent. Otherwise, it will be regarded as violating military orders and will be severely punished.
Under such circumstances, only those who dare to imitate Cheng Yaojin would only dare to take the courage of a leopard. Moreover, the Yang family in Luoyang is stationed in Xuxi, and when arriving at Xuxi from Tongguan, they have to bypass the east side of Chang'an and cross the camp of the Guanlong army, or cross the Weishui River via the Zhongwei Bridge. That is the defense area of the Youtun Guards, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers. Tubo barbarians are under martial law... who can get by?
"Mother! Are you plotting against me? This person is not a son of man!"
Li Ji's previous calmness and elegance were all gone, and he was so angry that he cursed.
The generals in front of him were silent.
Changsun Wuji was not sure whether it was Li Ji or Fang Jun who had done it. How could these people not know? It feels quite refreshing to watch Fang Jun make Li Ji feel defeated...
Li Ji looked at the people who were gloating about their misfortune, and his teeth itched with anger.
Cheng Yaojin was sitting aside wearing loose clothes. The whip wounds on his body had not yet healed. He coughed dryly and said: "Although Fang Er's move is very disrespectful to us, such clumsy frame-up cannot be hidden from Changsun Wu." Ji's eyes, so the commander-in-chief does not need to be angry, he can just watch the children playing."
"Children playing?"
Li Ji snorted angrily and glanced at Cheng Yaojin.
It may seem so to others, but Li Ji knew that Fang Jun had already understood everything, and the purpose of this move was to involve him in the mutiny. He could not sit back and watch, and stay out of the matter.
But he can't...
Furthermore, Fang Jun's move seemed clumsy, but the reality and reality could easily cause Changsun Wuji to be confused and make a mistake in judgment. It was an extremely clever move.
He stroked his beard irritably, looked around at everyone, and said: "Fang Jun is too rampant and acts wantonly. The prince cannot restrain him. If he is allowed to do so, the consequences will be unpredictable. I plan to send a general to bypass the Yellow River." , go to the north of the Wei River to deter me, tell me who should go?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Hundreds of thousands of troops have been garrisoned in Tongguan for some time. Not only have they remained stationary, they are even afraid of being misunderstood by the two sides fighting fiercely in Chang'an to participate, so they ordered the entire army not to move without permission. Now they want to send troops to the north of the Weishui River. Is this because Fang Jun framed him and made him unable to bear it anymore, so he plans to end it?
However, this move can indeed bring huge pressure to Fang Jun, from Xuanwu Gate to the north to the Weishui River. This is the defense area of Youtun Guards. It usually has to guard against the Guanlong army on the east and west sides. If there is another army in the north, Youtun Guards The pressure on Wei increased sharply.
I'm afraid Fang Er has to keep one eye open while sleeping...
Everyone had different ideas, constantly considering various possibilities, and felt a little quiet for a while.
Xue Wanche, who had always been silent in such meetings, suddenly said: "I will go there eventually."
Everyone was a little surprised that Xue Wanche took the initiative to ask for a job, but they immediately understood after thinking of his close relationship with Fang Jun.
Li Ji had obviously thought about it and said angrily: "Are you going? I want to send troops to the north of the Weishui River to put a certain amount of pressure on Fang Er and deter him from acting arbitrarily! If I let you go, I'm afraid it won't be to put pressure, but to send Warm, right?"
Everyone laughed loudly.
Since parting ways with Li Yuanjing, Xue Wanche has become closer to Fang Jun and obeys his words. This idiot Xue was so eaten up by Fang Jun that he wouldn't even care if Fang Jun stabbed a hole in the sky. He even applauded and cheered and waved flags to cheer...
This guy is stubborn, and whoever treats him well will definitely repay him tenfold. Otherwise, he would not have threatened to kill everyone in the Prince of Qin's palace to bury Li Jiancheng after Li Jiancheng was overthrown, and then hid in Zhongnan Mountain to continue to resist His Majesty Li Er when his plan failed.
Isn't it nonsense to let him stare at Fang Jun?
Everyone laughed like this, which made Xue Wanche blush with laughter. He couldn't help but became angry with embarrassment and said loudly: "Although I have surrendered as a general, I have been loyal since entering the Tang Dynasty. I have never had any disloyalty. I am even more willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even to the death! Now the situation is urgent, and I am willing to take the initiative. I asked for help, but the commander-in-chief is secretly selfish and wary. I don’t know where I went wrong, so I ask the commander-in-chief to make it clear!"
After saying this, he stood up and stood in the hall, craning his neck and glaring at Li Ji angrily.
Li Ji has one head and two heads...
He is not afraid of cunning and slippery people, and he has never convinced anyone in terms of scheming, but he is really troubled by such a stubborn person.
This guy can't understand the hidden words and insinuations at all; he talks straight to the point and gets straight to the point, which makes him angry at every turn... This kind of soldier is really hard to lead.
Li Jichou was very worried and said comfortingly: "What did Prince Consort Xue say? I have always been upright and have no hidden agenda. You are thinking too much."
To deal with this kind of hard work, we can only brush it off, but there is no way.
"Aboveboard?"
Xue Wanche was just short of strings, but he was definitely not stupid. Wen Yan responded directly: "Since the withdrawal of troops from Liaodong, the commander-in-chief has never stated the strategy and direction of the entire army. Faced with the chaos in Chang'an and the turmoil of the country, he has never expressed his position. He has nothing to do with anything. Hiding in your heart, is this called aboveboard?"
All the generals nodded in unison, expressionless on their faces, but all applauded in their hearts.
What a beautiful fight...
Li Ji's handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he glared at Xue Wanche. As a result, the scumbag scratched his neck and said: "Did the general do something wrong? If the commander thinks that the general is suspected of colliding, he might as well punish him. After being whipped, the general will accept the punishment but refuse to accept it!”
Hey!
Yes!
