Fang Jun looked at Master Sun Ren and asked with a smile: "General Sun, why don't you take the initiative to ask for help?"
Ever since this future famous general who "surrendered anyway and revolted on the spot" set the Yushi world on fire, he had a very submissive attitude and had a very low sense of presence. He did not fight or grab, and just took things as they came, making everyone seem to have forgotten his existence.
Everyone then looked at Master Sun Ren, thinking that the commander-in-chief was deliberately cultivating this person...
Sun Renshi clasped his fists and said: "It is really an honor for me to serve under the commander-in-chief. But if you have a destiny, how dare you not charge into the battle and fight to the death? It's just that the general has just arrived and is not familiar with everything in the army, so he doesn't dare to ask for help." , so as not to ruin the commander-in-chief's important affairs."
He is cautious by nature, and it is enough for him to have accomplished a great feat in the Fire Master Altar before. If you strive to be the first in everything and grab when attacked, it will definitely arouse the jealousy of the original Youtun Guard generals, which is extremely unwise.
As long as you firmly take root in Youtunwei, there will be plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so why rush?
Fang Jun glanced at him and understood that he was a smart man. He nodded slightly, turned to look at Wang Fangyi, and said: "This time, you will lead the army alone to attack Wei's private army. After you succeed, you will return to Zhongnan Mountain along the Chan River, and then Are you confident that you can withdraw through a detour?"
Wang Fangyi's face flushed with excitement, he took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The commander-in-chief has ordered you to stay on your heels until you die!"
This was an opportunity to lead the army alone. How could an officer under the rank of deputy general get such treatment?
Fang Jun frowned and reprimanded: "The duty of a soldier is to follow the order, regardless of life or death, but the first thing to think about is how to complete the task perfectly, rather than putting life and death first all the time. We, as Soldiers, you have long been prepared to be shrouded in horse leather, but you must remember that the success or failure of each mission is far higher than our own lives!"
For ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, the military style is to be vigorous, to bend rather than bend, and to be benevolent if you don't succeed. But for a qualified commander, life or death is not important, honor or disgrace is not important, being able to complete the mission is the most important.
Han Xin's crotch was humiliated, and Gou Jian was forced to lie on his back and taste the courage. This is what he should do.
How can you become a qualified commander if your mind is filled with thoughts of failure and success?
Wang Fangyi said hurriedly: "I will finally be taught!"
After Fang Jun nodded, he looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This mutiny has not yet ended, the real war will continue, and everyone has a chance to make contributions. But I want to remind you that no matter whether you win or fail, , In good times and bad times, we must have a rock-like unshakable heart, not be arrogant in victory, and not discouraged in defeat, only in this way can we remain invincible."
"Here!"
The generals responded with a roar.
Fang Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes firm and his face serious.
The real war has just begun, but the real end is not far away...
*****
To the south of Chang'an City is Dulingyi.
This place was originally the mausoleum of Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. It is located on a highland with Ba and Chan rivers flowing through it. It was formerly known as "Hongguyuan". It has been a holy place for sightseeing in Guanzhong since the Han Dynasty. Countless celebrities and scholars have climbed up to see the distance and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the resident population of Dulingyi reached about 300,000. It was another city outside Chang'an City. Celebrities such as Yushi Zhang Tang and Da Sima Zhang Anshi lived here.
To this day, Jingzhao Weishi and Jingzhao Du family both live here, so there are proverbs such as "Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu"...
Under night, on the east and west banks of Chanshui River, military camps stood respectively, belonging to Weishi and Dushi. The Guanlong family raised their troops to revolt. As the Weidu family had the surname of Guanlong, they naturally had to choose sides. In fact, there was no choice. Guanlong was powerful at that time, and with a thunderous strike of 200,000 troops, the East Palace was destroyed. How to resist? Therefore, the Weidu family each formed a private army of 5,000 people to participate.
Five thousand people is a very appropriate number, neither more nor less. Changsun Wuji will not think that it is a false story or perfunctory, nor will it give people the impression of charging into the battle and acting as the main force to destroy the East Palace. After all, these two families have lived in Chang'an since the Han Dynasty and are a wealthy family in Guanzhong. Unlike Guan Longxungui and other clans with Hu origins who went north, they still care more about their own reputation and never want to be accused of "regicide and rebellion."
At that time, the two families had the same idea. They didn't care how much profit they could get from this mutiny, they just wanted not to be liquidated after Guanlong's victory.
However, what no one expected was that the fierce Guanlong army was so arrogant and confident that they would win, but they were smashed into the imperial city with bloodshed. After being killed and injured, they finally broke through the imperial city. After entering the Taiji Palace, he was defeated by Fang Jun, who had rushed back from thousands of miles away for reinforcements.
Today, the advantages of the past have long been gone. Everyone in Guanlong is seeking peace talks, trying to end this mutiny in a relatively stable way, which will have endless consequences for Guanlong...
The Weidu family is riding a tiger and is unable to dismount.
The private armies of 5,000 men each have no choice but to move in or withdraw. They can only rely on the Chan River to comfort each other and wait for the situation to settle...
…
In the Du family's military camp on the east side of Chanshui River, Du He was drinking and talking with Du Huaigong and Du Congze.
Outside the tent, the river was surging, the night was dark, windless and moonless.
The three of them didn't know that they had already passed through the gate of hell...
Du Congze was the elder brother of Du He and Du Huaigong. He was in his thirties and had a calm personality. He was drinking wine and sighed: "Who could have expected that the situation would be like this since the mutiny? At first, Zhao Guogong sent people to come. Come, call on the nobles in Guanzhong to raise troops to help. There is a lot of wrangling among the clan. Although they don't want to be involved, it is obvious that Guanlong is powerful and victory seems to be within easy reach. They are afraid that Guanlong will suppress our Du family after winning, so they assembled these five thousand private troops... …Now it’s hard to get off the tiger, and you can’t retreat even if you want to, and you are so worried.”
Du He poured wine for the two of them, nodded and said: "As long as the peace talks are successful, the East Palace will be able to secure its reserve position, and no one will be able to overturn it in the future. Not only will Guan Long face unprecedented suppression in the future, but now he is raising troops I am afraid that all these wealthy families who helped us will be included in His Highness the Crown Prince’s small book. If they are all sorted out in the future, no one will be able to benefit from it.”
Almost all the nobles who sent troops to help the Guanlong uprising are now worried and at a loss. Following the rebels and trying to overthrow the East Palace, how can the prince forgive him for such deep hatred? What awaits everyone must be the crown prince's revenge after he stabilizes the situation and successfully ascends the throne.
However, when the Guanlong uprising was launched, it was so fierce that no matter how you looked at it, victory was guaranteed. If you did not respond to Changsun Wuji's call to send troops to help, you would be classified as an "alien" by the Guanlong clan. After the Guanlong uprising was completed, you would be suppressed. Who would have thought that Donggong could turn the tables and turn defeat into victory under such an unfavorable situation?
Time is also fate.
Du He took a sip of wine and ate some food. He squinted at Du Huaigong who was silent and said sarcastically: "Originally, even if the East Palace turns defeat into victory, it doesn't matter. After all, the British army has hundreds of thousands of troops, which is enough to influence the situation in Guanzhong. Let's climb up What can the prince do to our Du family if we climb the big tree of Duke Yingying? It's a pity that some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and let a huge achievement go unearned, and instead block this road. "
Du Huaigong's face turned red, and he became angry with shame. He put down his wine cup, squinting his neck and retorted: "Where can I get the credit for the world? The reason why the old man conscripted me into the army to accompany the army in the Eastern Expedition was definitely not to give me the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but to The general is just killing me in front of the military camp to establish his authority! If I had followed the army in the eastward expedition, I would have been a pile of withered bones by now, and even my family would be implicated!"
When Li Ji summoned him to join the army and wanted to take him with him on the eastern expedition, he almost frightened him to death...
Although Li Ji initially agreed to the Du family's marriage, he and Li Yulong were at odds with each other after they got married, and the couple never even slept together. As a result, Li Ji was deeply resentful of him and had long wanted to kill him. It's just that the Jingzhao Du family is a wealthy family in Guanzhong. If they kill their son-in-law rashly, there will be endless troubles.
Du Huaigong himself knew that with his unruly habits, it was impossible not to violate military discipline and law. So as long as he joins the army and is legitimately killed by Li Ji sooner or later, he will not only remove the thorn in his side, but also establish his authority, why not?
Du Congze nodded and said: "The British Duke enforces the law very strictly, and Huaigong's concerns are not unreasonable... It's just that you and the British Duke's daughter are married by a matchmaker. How come you are so discordant and lead to the British Duke's dissatisfaction?"
In his opinion, a tall tree like the British Duke naturally needs to be fawned over fiercely. When he is in his prime and wields great power, no matter how the court situation changes, he must be a big boss in the court. It is not easy for others to get close to him. , you are given this opportunity to rise to the top, why don't you seize it?
Moreover, the daughter of the British duke is also smart and beautiful. She is one of the few talented and beautiful people in Chang'an City. She is a rare match. I don't know what Du Huaigong thinks...
However, when Du Congze mentioned Li Yulong, Du Huaigong's handsome face instantly turned red and distorted. He threw the wine cup to the ground and said angrily: "This is a great shame and humiliation!"
