Of course Wu Gong understood Qi Fang's words.
Such simple words don’t require much reading comprehension, you just need to look at the literal meaning to understand.
But as a general, he always looked down on this guy who was a big thief and relied on fawning over Zhang Jun and other high-ranking officials to maintain his position, so he didn't plan to show him any favors and was prepared to crush him hard.
At this time when he is about to become the first commander of the central theater, Wu Gong plans to establish his position through victory after victory, so that these arrogant subordinates will be obedient and lay the foundation for his future career as a general. Base.
Of course the subordinates he brought were obedient, but there were always some guys who were not so obedient, such as this Qi Fang.
Just in time, I'll take you to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
Wu Gong's decision really made Qi Fang very angry.
Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?
I surrounded the city here and fought tooth and nail for five or six days. Many of my brothers died and a lot of ordnance was used up. I finally beat the rebels in the city until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. I saw that the rebels had only one breath left. What happened to you? Are you going to pick peaches as soon as you arrive?
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Qi Fang was determined not to give in, otherwise it would not only be a matter of military merit, but Qi Fang's own prestige in front of his subordinates would also be damaged, and it would be difficult to say whether his words would work or not in the future.
"General Wu, everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Our two armies are one in the west and the other in the east. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. Why are you doing this?"
Qi Fang still had the patience to give Wu Gong some face. Thinking of Wu Gong's background and the backers behind him, Qi Fang didn't want to break his skin.
But in Wu Gong's opinion, this was bullying and lack of confidence.
So Wu Gong was ready to further show his toughness.
"We are all armies of the Song Dynasty, why do we need to be separated from each other? We are all killing thieves for the country, what is the difference between me killing and you killing? Besides, I am also thinking about General Qi. General Qi will fight After so many days, the sergeants are exhausted, why not take this opportunity to take more rest and recuperate so that the soldiers can take a breather?"
Good guy, you've got your nose in trouble, haven't you?
I’m giving you face, right?
Seeing that Wu Gong was about to steal the peach openly, Qi Fang couldn't help it.
"General Wu, do you have to compete with me for the victory in Nanchang City?"
When Wu Gong saw that Qi Fang had spoken, he was immediately furious.
Good guy, are you shameless?
Then don't blame me!
"General, this is for the sake of the Song Dynasty. The court needs us to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. It cannot be delayed for a long time. General Qi has been unable to attack for a long time. The morale of the army is low and it seems that he is really incompetent. In this case, the main attacker should change his morale to be stronger. It’s my department, isn’t it?”
Ming robbed it, right? !
Qi Fang was furious.
"Wu Gong! Don't go too far! You and I have never been in conflict with each other, so why are we so hard on each other? Our troops have been besieging Nanchang City for several days and are about to capture it. Our troops have spent a lot of money and food on this. I don't know how much. My brother died in battle, and now you ask for it, is this appropriate?"
"This is not about forcing each other, this is for the consideration of the Song Dynasty!"
"Fart! Are you thinking about the Song Dynasty? Then instead of going south, why don't you come to me? I beg you?"
Qi Fang pointed at Wu Gong and said angrily: "You leave quickly and I will pretend that this has never happened. Otherwise, if our soldiers cannot control themselves, they will bear the consequences!"
"Hmph! Consequences? What consequences?"
Wu Gong sneered and said: "If I don't leave, what can you do to me? Do you want to send troops to attack me? Not to mention whether you can win, if you fight, you will be punished by death."
"Wu Gong! I respect your father and your uncle, not you! Don't take yourself too seriously! Even a mere yamen dared to bark in front of me. When I had a bloody battle with the Jin people, you Still sucking milk!”
Qi Fang gritted his teeth, unable to control his emotions anymore.
Wu Gong was also angry. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said something from between his teeth.
"You can say whatever you want, but I want to decide on Nanchang City!"
"Shameless kid!!!"
Qi Fang finally couldn't bear it anymore and drew his sword to chop him.
Wu Gong also unsheathed his sword and faced him tit for tat.
The two guards also drew their swords out of their sheaths and faced each other tit for tat. The swords were tense for a while, and the scene was quite dangerous.
At this time, it was Wu Gong's veteran general Liu Yong who stepped forward to smooth things over and urged both sides not to fight privately, otherwise the court would find out and no one would be able to reap the benefits.
"The imperial court strictly prohibits generals from fighting in private. If the imperial court finds out about it afterwards, everyone will be punished! It is obviously our army that has the upper hand. Seeing that everyone can get credit, are you willing to be punished by the imperial court? ?”
Liu Yong's words calmed Wu Gong and Qi Fang.
After weighing the pros and cons, they unanimously concluded that there was no benefit in fighting with weapons, so they slowly put down their swords and ordered each other's subordinates to sheath their swords.
"It's not that I'm afraid of you, I just don't want to follow the truth. Wu Gong, you must not get the wrong idea. I will never give up Nanchang City to you."
"Hmph! Besides being tough, what else do you have? I'll give you two days. If you still can't take Nanchang City, don't blame me for looking down on you. No matter how hard you stop me, I will take Nanchang City."
Wu Gong looked at Qi Fang coldly, and Qi Fang also looked at Wu Gong coldly.
The two of them "hummed" in unison, turned around and left in the opposite direction.
Then the two immediately took action.
They wouldn't wait until two days later.
Off-the-board tactics are necessary tactics to compete for credit.
Wu Gong immediately sent people to Lin'an, and sent people to find Zhang Jun, the privy envoy, hoping to use Zhang Jun's relationship to give Qi Fang eye drops, so that Qi Fang could get out of the military as soon as possible, so as not to be disgusting in front of him.
Zhang Jun has a close relationship with the Wu family. During the Fuping War, the Wu brothers served under Zhang Jun. After Zhang Jun was defeated, he also discovered the abilities of the Wu brothers and promoted Wu Jie to become the main general of the Western Front of the Song Army after the defeat of Fuping. , thus laying the foundation for the security of Sichuan and Shu.
So speaking of it, Zhang Jun has a close relationship with the Wu family. The Wu family has been able to reach this point and become the main person in charge of one of the three war zones in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhang Jun deserves the most credit.
Zhang Jun has now become the privy envoy and the chief military officer of the Southern Song Dynasty. Using this relationship, Wu Gong felt that he could gain the upper hand in the dispute with Qi Fang.
On the other side, Qi Fang did not sit still and waited for death. He also took action and reported the news to Tian Shizhong, hoping that Tian Shizhong could control Wu Gong and not let him be too arrogant.
After all, Qi Fang and Tian Shizhong were both Zhang Jun's generals. Because of Zhang Jun's relationship, they became generals and became closer to each other. Wu Gong came from the Sichuan-Sichuan War Zone and had never been with them. Maybe one heart.
The Wu family was already very glorious and occupied a dominant position in the Sichuan-Sichuan War Zone. Now they want to arrange their children to the central Jinghu War Zone. This is tantamount to expanding the power of the Wu family.
If things go on like this, the military circles of the Southern Song Dynasty will all be controlled by the Wu family. Will Zhang Jun's old tribe be continuously suppressed?
Tian Shizhong was the first to get the news from Qi Fang, saw Qi Fang's handwriting, thought for a moment, and felt that what Qi Fang said was reasonable.
Logically speaking, the military circles of the Southern Song Dynasty have evolved from the early Four Generals period to the post-Four Generals era, that is, most of the main senior officers are the subordinates of the four generals.
Needless to say, most of Yue Fei's subordinates were eliminated, and they became completely non-mainstream in the Southern Song Dynasty military circles.
Liu Guangshi's military exploits were severely understated, and he was a big parallel importer. No one looked down upon him, so his subordinates did not occupy the mainstream in the Southern Song Dynasty military circles after his death.
Therefore, in addition to the Wu family in the Sichuan-Sichuan War Zone, most of the second-generation generals in the other two war zones in the Southern Song Dynasty were subordinates of Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong. Too much to deal with.
The Wu family in Sichuan and Sichuan also had trouble dealing with these two factions. Everyone disliked each other, fought openly and secretly with each other, and excluded each other for the sake of greater interests.
Tian Shizhong and Qi Fang are both Zhang Jun's subordinates, and they should join hands and be united in dealing with the outside world. Wu Gong is the representative of the Wu family in Sichuan and Sichuan. He came to the central Jinghu Theater to seize military interests. From this perspective, is Tian Should the division help Wu Gong to restrain Qi Fang?
