At the same time, Fan Cun was looking at the surrounding environment with confusion in his eyes.
who I am?
where am I?
What am I going to do?
As a warrior player with similar combat power to Zhao Haiping, he also passed the first stage of the warrior identity after a hard battle.
But after entering the second stage, he did not choose the identity of a general like Zhao Haiping, but chose the prince.
The reason why he made such a choice is that on the one hand, he used his shallow historical knowledge to learn that this prince was probably King Kang, and King Kang was the successor after Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong were abducted during the Jingping Incident. The new king. That is, the eternal sinner who killed General Han Fuyue.
There are indeed not many emperors who are less effective than him.
Therefore, Fan Cun feels that this identity should be relatively simple to play.
On the other hand, the reason is that he was a little anxious in choosing and didn't see the difficulty written under the card.
Fan Cun only realized this when he saw a special system prompt after officially entering the game.
[In the current identity play, players will not encounter General Han Fuyue. 】
This reminder made Fan Cun silent for a long time.
be cheated!
The reason why everyone believed that King Kang had the best cards in history, but was beaten to pieces by him, was because he had General Han Fuyue.
The situation at that time, as long as he didn't do anything to recall General Han Fuyue with twelve gold medals, and didn't acquiesce in Qin Huizhi's unjust killing of General Han Fuyue, he could almost push the Jin Kingdom evenly.
Therefore, if the player really wears him, he can win as long as he firmly hugs Han Fuyue's thigh, there is no doubt about it.
Perhaps it was because this way of winning was too simple that the game designers directly removed General Han Fuyue from the role of this identity.
That is to say...
No more legs to hug!
This made Fan Cun a little embarrassed.
He thought about it carefully, and after taking away General Han Fuyue, it was really difficult for him to be King Kang.
In terms of domestic affairs, can he defeat a group of deceitful peacemakers headed by Qin Huizhi?
In terms of military affairs, without General Han Fuyue, who could he expect to defeat the Jin people's iron pagoda and kidnap horse?
Of course, General Han Fuyue was not the only general who could fight in the huge Qi Dynasty. Can we say that other generals can achieve the kind of victory he did? Can you beat the Jin people so hard that they want to retreat to their hometown? Fan Cun absolutely didn't believe it.
I am afraid that six or seven outstanding famous generals must be properly utilized to achieve the achievements of General Han Fuyue alone.
And this is obviously not the strong point of Fan Cun, a reckless man.
At this time, he already had some regrets and felt that maybe he should not choose this prince's identity.
But as the saying goes, what comes comes comes...
Fan Cun thought for a moment, and realized that his only chance to make a comeback at this time was the newly opened Heroic Spirit Summoning function.
After looking around, Fan Cun was sure that he was in a restaurant at this time.
Moreover, it seems to be one of the best high-end restaurants in the capital.
At this time, the restaurant was obviously booked, and a group of people were waiting to drink and chat.
Judging from their clothing and the content of their conversations, this seemed to be a practice banquet before a certain expedition.
The protagonist in the scene is a burly and bearded general. He looks very old, but his voice is loud and his face is as golden as stone. He looks strong and in good spirits.
"Your Highness, Prince Yun, why are you so unhappy? Is it possible that His Highness can still discern some clues from my marching route map?"
The tall and burly general came to Fan Cun with a wine glass, toasted with a glass of wine, and said these words.
Fan Cun was stunned for a moment and realized that he was not that King Kang.
"It's not Prince Kang...that means I'm not the Ninth Prince, but another prince?
"Prince Yun...which prince is he again?"
Fan Cun didn't know that King Yun was the third prince who succeeded after Chu Ge and Li Hongyun assassinated Qi Yingzong.
However, for Fan Cun, the specific princes were not a big problem.
He couldn't tell the difference anyway.
He turned to look at the military attache in front of him.
From the previous conversation, Fan Cun also learned the name of this general - a name he had heard during the first phase of the pacification army, Tong Daofu.
This can be regarded as one of the few historical figures that Fan Cun, a player who is not particularly proficient in history, knew during the Qi Dynasty.
Fan Cun looked at the thing in his hand and found that it was a marching route map.
And this route map also proves the destination of Tong Daofu's expedition: the northwest.
"There are no clues in the march map." Fan Cun said.
Although he is a player with high personal strength and considerable knowledge in cavalry tactics, when it comes to this specific marching route, he is not that professional, and naturally it is difficult to express too many opinions.
Tong Daofu laughed and was noncommittal.
It was obvious that he had a certain amount of respect for King Yun, the third prince. But this respect comes more from respect for the royal identity.
King Yun is different from King Kang. He is a talented and learned man, and he is deeply loved by His Majesty today. But in any case, he is not a prince, and perhaps he will not have much interaction with Tong Daofu in the future.
In terms of military affairs, Tong Daofu did not think that His Highness King Yun had any accomplishments.
The reason why Tong Daofu showed him his marching route map was only because His Highness King Yun was very curious about it, and the current emperor had the idea of letting King Yun participate in military affairs, so Tong Daofu reluctantly showed it to him at the banquet. Take a look.
Of course it still needs to be taken back at this time.
Tong Daofu took back the road map, but the next words of His Highness Prince Yun made the polite smile on his face freeze instantly.
"...But I heard that you are a noob."
Fan Cun is quite outspoken.
On the one hand, this is because he is an upright boy who only knows how to be reckless. On the other hand, it is also because he feels good about himself after obtaining the identity of the prince and thinks that he cannot be too polite to this eunuch.
In the first stage, Fan Cun heard a lot about Tong Daofu in the pacification army.
For example, he redeemed Yan Yun's "great achievements".
Because this person became a eunuch only after he became an adult, he retained many male characteristics and could not identify himself as a eunuch at all. As an eunuch, he actually became the king of the Qi Dynasty based on his military merits, which is quite strange.
As far as Fan Cun knew, most of Tong Daofu's so-called achievements were funny.
For someone like him to be able to be crowned king based on his military exploits, it was enough to show that the Qi Dynasty was rotten to the core at this time.
Fan Cun's words obviously made Tong Daofu angry. He couldn't get angry due to the identity of the other party, King Yun, but his beard was obviously blown up.
"Who did your Highness Prince Yun listen to?"
Tong Daofu was also curious as to who in the Qi Dynasty dared to talk in front of the third prince and say that he was a rookie.
Fan Cun chuckled: "Well, the world will have its own fair judgment."
In fact, Fan Cun was already very considerate. He did not say that you would be infamy in future generations.
Tong Daofu's face obviously turned ugly: "If His Royal Highness King Yun really wants to know about the military affairs, why not report it to His Majesty and accompany him on the expedition to Xixia?"
Fan Cun couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Oh? Okay!"
…
On the march to the northwest, Tong Daofu wanted to slap himself in the face countless times, regretting his meaningless provocative words at the banquet.
Who would have thought that for a moment, he would invite such a biological father to himself?
His Royal Highness King Yun actually appealed to the emperor and asked to participate in the military campaign to conquer Xixia, and the current emperor actually agreed.
He even gave His Royal Highness King Yun a high official position.
After all, the current emperor's preference for His Highness Prince Yun is obvious to all, and his intention to let His Highness Prince Yun go to the military for training is also obvious.
Of course, King Yun's official position was not as high as that of the coach Tong Daofu. This shows that the emperor was not completely confused. He replaced him as the official coach and appointed a prince who had never been exposed to military affairs as the coach.
However, Prince Yun was the emperor's favorite prince after all.
If His Highness Prince Yun does nothing and just settles down to be a tool, then of course it doesn't matter. But what if His Royal Highness King Yun really intervenes in the frontline command? This is complicated.
After all, others were afraid of Tong Daofu's power and sometimes did not dare to tell the truth to the emperor, but His Highness Prince Yun had no such scruples at all.
Moreover, Tong Daofu could have controlled all the generals of the Western Army to be obedient, but after His Royal Highness Prince Yun arrived, it was hard to say whether these generals of the Western Army would still obey Tong Daofu and have no other choice as before... This is hard to say.
After all, things like official ranks are useful and useless. In the final analysis, it depends on whom the emperor prefers, and whoever speaks will be more effective.
It's just that it was too late for Tong Daofu to regret it. His Royal Highness Prince Yun had already embarked on the journey to the northwest with him.
And along the way... quite active.
For example, His Royal Highness Prince Yun seemed to be very good at riding, which Tong Daofu had never heard of.
He only knew that King Yun was very talented and learned, and he had passed the first prize in the examination. Although his physical fitness was not particularly outstanding, it was not bad. At least he could do basic riding and shooting.
It's just that... the riding skills displayed by King Yun at this time were far beyond what ordinary mounted archers could compare to.
Not only that, His Royal Highness Prince Yun did not give him any face, which left Tong Daofu speechless and puzzled.
You know, Tong Daofu was considered the number one general in the Qi Dynasty at this time, and his many years of traveling through the northwest made him feel quite good about himself. As for this King Yun, who had been very respectful to him before, until the first half of the banquet, King Yun still treated him with courtesy and regarded him as an important minister of the country who could be his teacher.
As a result, halfway through the banquet, His Highness Prince Yun seemed to be a completely different person.
Not only was his speech quite rude, seeming to show the characteristics of a certain playboy, but he also frequently made rude remarks, and his disdain and contempt for Tong Daofu was almost written on his face.
Tong Daofu was very puzzled as to what was going on, but after all, he was not familiar with His Royal Highness Prince Yun, so it was hard to say whether this was a drastic change in temperament or a revelation of his true colors.
The other party is His Majesty's most beloved son today, so...just endure it if you can.
As long as he doesn't make random comments on the military affairs, Tong Daofu can hold his nose and endure it until the army returns to the court this time.
…
From Fan Cun's perspective, time passed quickly along the way.
The game "Dark Sand" automatically omits some meaningless links, and the links that players experience are either directly related to the subsequent puzzle solving, or they have a certain supplementary effect on the plot of real history.
On this day, Fan Cun followed Tong Daofu to the military camp of the Western Army.
After some preparations, the army set off and prepared to officially launch an attack on Xixia.
At this time, the war in the northwest had actually calmed down. Thanks to Tong Daofu's efforts, the Qi Dynasty entered a long period of strategic suppression of Xixia.
From this point of view, Tong Daofu is indeed a talent.
This can be explained from two perspectives: From the perspective of the history of the Qi Dynasty, there were only two or three historical stages that truly completed the comprehensive suppression of Xixia. From this point of view, it seems that Tong Daofu did a pretty good job;
But if we look at the combat effectiveness of the Western Army at that time and the comparison of the national power of the Qi Dynasty and Xixia, if a famous general with excellent military ability were placed in Tong Daofu's position, Xixia might have been wiped out.
Along the way, Fan Cun was also paying attention to the combat power of the Western Army.
It has to be said that this is indeed the best-equipped and most powerful team in the entire Qi Dynasty.
Until the time of General Han Fuyue, although the Western Army had suffered several disasters and its elite was greatly reduced, it was still the most capable source of troops.
Especially compared with the Pingding Army that Fan Chengchen encountered in the first stage, whether it was the quality of the soldiers, morale or equipment level, they were not at the same level at all.
The army continued to march until it reached Huangchuan.
Tong Daofu looked at the scenery around him and the unique scenery of the mountains and rivers in the Northwest. He couldn't help but feel proud and proudly talked about an incident when he went to the northwest.
At that time, he served as the supervisor of the army, and the army happened to march to Huangchuan.
The army kills animals here to sacrifice the flag and prepares for war.
However, at this time, they suddenly received an order from Qi Huizong, telling them to retreat.
This situation is similar to the operation of the empty shooting order in later generations.
As for why he had to withdraw his troops, the reason was very simple. There was a fire in the palace. Qi Huizong thought it was an ominous sign, so he had to withdraw his troops.
Tong Daofu was obviously speechless at that time, and he stuffed the edict directly into his boots. The generals in the army asked him what was written on it? Tong Daofu replied without changing his expression: Your Majesty hopes that we will succeed as soon as possible.
As a result, the expedition returned with a great victory.
At the celebration banquet, Tong Daofu took out the edict and passed it on to the generals in the army.
The generals couldn't help but be shocked. This was disobedience. If they really lost the battle, wouldn't it be a serious crime requiring beheading?
Tong Daofu said that morale was at its peak at this time. If we really stopped fighting temporarily according to the imperial decree, what a blow it would be to morale! When the time comes to send troops again, it may not be possible to achieve such results.
Therefore, he would rather defeat and bear the blame than conceal the imperial decree and forcefully send troops.
This also allowed Tong Daofu to establish great prestige in the northwest, which became a major turning point for him to become king through military exploits.
Tong Daofu proudly showed off to Fan Cun, and his meaning was obvious.
"If you are going to be outside, you will not accept your orders"!
On the one hand, this is to show off his previous proud deeds, to show off his military talents, and to ask His Highness King Yun not to interfere blindly; on the other hand, it is also a hint that I dare not even listen to the emperor's words, King Yun Your Highness, please don't feel good about yourself and think you can command me.
Fan Cun looked at Tong Daofu and chuckled in his heart.
This thing about Tong Daosuke is indeed worth bragging about. After all, this was the brightest moment of his entire military career.
In fact, if you analyze it carefully, is this so-called highlight moment of Tong Daosuke very brilliant?
Not necessarily.
On the one hand, the victory at that time was the result of the joint efforts of the entire Western Army and its generals. Tong Daofu was just a military supervisor at the time, and he had the right to speak, but should we say that this was all due to his command? That's bullshit.
With the fighting power of the Western Army, they should have won.
On the other hand, the reason why Tong Daofu dared to stuff the emperor's edict into his boots was actually because he understood Qi Huizong's temper.
Although Qi Huizong was not clear-headed, he was still a relatively tolerant emperor on the whole. At that time, Tong Daofu judged that Qi Huizong still relied on him for everything. Even if he did not obey the order, there would not necessarily be any particularly serious consequences. That's why I dare to engage in such risky operations to gain fame for myself.
If he were a tyrant who would kill his entire family whenever someone resisted his decree, would Tong Daofu still dare to do this?
Most of them don't dare.
The biggest label of Tong Daofu is "bullying the weak and fearing the strong", which can be seen from the different attitudes towards the Xixia and Jin people.
When fighting Xixia, he relied on the Qi Dynasty's stronger national power than Xixia and the powerful combat power of the Western Army. He made all kinds of troubles, messed around, and even reported victory after losing the battle; but when it came time to fight against the Jinren, in Taiyuan City Before even seeing the golden man's shadow, he had already fled.
Therefore, no matter how bragging Tong Daofu was at this time, Fan Cun just ignored him.
Tong Daofu felt aggrieved. Facing His Royal Highness King Yun, he really had no temper at all, so he could only vent his anger on the military.
…
"General Liu Fa, I order you to immediately send troops to unify Ancheng and use this as a basis to attack Shuofang! You must not delay the military situation, otherwise, military law will be engaged!" Tong Daofu looked at the general in front of him who looked to be in his fifties.
Tong'an City was an important town occupied by the Qi army at this time, and it was also a springboard for further troops.
Liu Fa frowned, shook his head slightly and said, "The general will think it's impossible.
"Although the Xixia army was severely damaged by our army, its vitality is not damaged. If we rush to send troops, we may not have a good chance of winning.
"Tong'an City is isolated outside the country, and the surrounding situation is unknown. More information is needed.
"If the general rashly goes deep into the army alone, if he is ambushed, the consequences will be disastrous."
Tong Daofu's face turned cold: "General Liu Fa! You are also a famous general in the world. You have been fighting on the frontier for a long time, and you know a lot about the war in the northwest. Now you have great achievements in front of you, why are you so afraid of the enemy?
"When you were in the capital, you personally received orders from His Majesty, and you even said with certainty that this battle would be won. How come you are facing a big battle, but you are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, saying that the chance of victory is not good? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Your Majesty for the crime of deceiving the emperor? !”
These words were meant to be teasing, even humiliating.
General Liu Fa's face darkened, and he was obviously speechless by Tong Daofu's words.
But after all, it was about his family and his life, so he still wanted to struggle again: "The military situation is changing rapidly, how can we generalize! The general did not say that we cannot send troops, but if we send troops rashly at this time, the chance of winning is indeed not high."
The two were temporarily at loggerheads.
Fan watched from the sidelines and instantly realized that this might be a key plot point.
If one says it can be fought and the other says it cannot be fought, then one of them must be wrong.
If he had a thorough understanding of this part of history at this time, he would naturally know the correct answer.
But he didn't know.
But it doesn't matter, because he still has the opportunity to ask for help off the court.
Fan Cun looked at the card in the upper right corner of his field of vision. After thinking about it, he endured the pain and directly summoned Taizu Sheng!
Sheng Taizu is the one who consumes the most energy among all the heroic figures in history.
Whether it is summoning, asking questions, or letting him directly possess and take care of it, it consumes more energy than the heroic spirits of other historical figures.
In fact, Fan Cun also considered other options, such as General Deng Yuanjing.
General Deng knew military matters very well. When it came to fighting alone, he was even better than Sheng Taizu.
But Fan Cun also considered that he was not playing a simple military commander after all, but a prince. In the future, there would be other content besides war.
When the time comes, General Deng will be able to give some advice when he encounters fields such as civil affairs or political struggle, but he will definitely not be as professional as Sheng Taizu.
Therefore, Fan Cun finally decided to let Sheng Taizu take care of everything.
After a moment, the shadow of Sheng Taizu appeared in Fan Cun's field of vision.
"Your Majesty, who should I support?" Fan Cun asked.
As a real figure in history, Sheng Taizu certainly knew Tong Daofu and Liu Fa, as well as the final outcome of this matter.
He said coldly: "Tong'an City is isolated outside the border, and the surrounding situation is dark and unclear. It is the bait of the Xixia Army. Liu Fa was forced by Tong Daofu to march. He knew that the Xixia Army was good at outflanking and ambush, so he could only advance quickly to enter the city and occupy it as soon as possible. He defended the city, but was eventually ambushed and died fighting.
"After the war, Tong Daofu advocated the great victory of unifying Ancheng and took all the credit for himself. However, he described Liu Fa as someone who underestimated the enemy, rushed in with his head in his arms, fled in a panic, did not choose the route, and was greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Liu Fa was a famous general at that time. His sacrifice for his country was originally more important than Mount Tai, but under Tong Daofu's distortion, he became less important than a feather, and he shouldered the crime of losing his army and losing his master."
Fan Cun nodded: "I understand.
"I knew that I was right to go against this Tong Daofu in everything."
Fan Cun instantly felt that summoning Sheng Taizu was quite worthwhile. Didn't this directly obtain the standard answer?
But then I thought again, no, even if I don’t summon Sheng Taizu, wouldn’t I be able to find out by checking the historical materials myself?
But no matter what, I finally got a very definite answer.
At this time, Tong Daofu and Liu Fa were still arguing, but Liu Fa was obviously at a disadvantage.
It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Under Tong Daofu's repeated pressure, he actually had no choice but to lead troops into battle.
But just when Liu Fa was in desperate situation, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait a minute!
"General Liu, please don't march into Ancheng."
The generals turned around in astonishment and found that the person who said these words categorically turned out to be the third prince, His Highness Prince Yun, who everyone had always thought was just coming to the front line to observe the gold plating of battle formations and would not participate in any military decision-making.
------Digression-----
There is a slight bug in what I wrote before. Tong'an City should be in the hands of the Qi Dynasty, and Xixia used it to encircle and mobilize reinforcements. It has been modified
