After listening to Fang Jun's cross-examination, Zhang Shigui's face remained unchanged and he said calmly: "You are so powerful, you don't know the heart of a good person. This is an opportunity for you to establish your prestige. Not only are you not grateful, but you are wronging others?"
He is a strong general in the army and my son-in-law, He Zongxian. He has the ability to bravely defeat the three armies. If he can be defeated, he will definitely be impressed by these soldiers who only respect the strong."
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, He Zongxian?
Isn't this the one in the novel who imitated Xue Rengui and wore a white robe, and took all the credit for Xue Rengui's achievements? Later, when it was revealed that he tried to get rid of Xue Rengui but failed, he rebelled and rebelled, and was eventually defeated and executed?
Of course, the things in the novel are pure nonsense. In fact, He Zongxian has never done any of these things.
However, Zhang Shigui's intention of doing this can indeed quickly increase Fang Jun's prestige. The military worships the strong, which is not just as simple as being impressed, because being strong means that there is an extra chance of winning in the war and an extra chance of survival.
Chance.
How many people would be so noble as to be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the Tang Dynasty?
Sure enough, He Zongxian, who was in the audience, shouted loudly: "Suwen Fang Erlang is unparalleled in bow and horse, sword and stick. I have admired him for a long time. I wonder if I can be lucky enough to ask for advice?"
The soldiers in the audience suddenly became excited, and they were quite furious.
The military is very disciplined and has a strict hierarchy. It is not common for people like He Zongxian to openly challenge the new coach on the first day he takes office. This is a taboo in the military! Even if He Zongxian is Zhang Shigui's son-in-law, how can he do it?
Ignore military rules?
Fang Jun's eyes flickered, staring at He Zongxian who was surrounded by soldiers in the audience. He sighed, turned to Zhang Shigui and said: "The Duke of Guo State has deep love and righteousness, but how can I repay you?"
Zhang Shigui laughed and said happily: "Fang Erlang is indeed a handsome man who was once praised by His Majesty as a 'talented prime minister and assistant'. You can see my intention at a glance."
He Zongxian challenged Fang Jun in public. No matter he won or lost, it would be difficult to stay in Youtun Camp. The reason why the rules became rules was because everyone went back and abided by them silently. Once anyone broke the rules, they would have to suffer the consequences.
and price.
Zhang Shigui used the method of cutting off He Zongxian's future in Youtun camp to win over Fang Jun and support him. This friendship is not unkind.
"Although I have made countless achievements, I am now declining. The Tang Dynasty in the future will be the Tang Dynasty of your generation, Erlang. I don't have too many extravagances. I only hope that Erlang can remember today's favor and live in the descendants of my Zhang family."
When you are in trouble, you can help me. Of course, I am not a stupid person. This kind of help is provided under the condition that I do not commit adultery. If my descendants do evil, then even if the body and head are missing, there is no need
Erlang is in a dilemma and takes action, how about that?"
Fang Jun smiled bitterly, "The debt of gratitude is the biggest in the world. I have benefited from Zhang Shigui today, how can I not try my best to repay him in the future?"
"The Duke of Guo has made serious remarks. If we refuse at this time, are you going to arrange for your son-in-law to take the opportunity to kill us?"
Zhang Shigui laughed loudly: "Even if you agree to the challenge, you will be killed by He Zongxian if you don't go well. If I say that this son-in-law is brave enough to win the three armies, that would be an exaggeration, but the power of his arms is rare. Erlang really wants to
Let’s have a battle next time?”
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Everyone in the world calls me to give you a hammer. Does the Duke of Guo know what he means?"
Zhang Shigui asked curiously: "Wouldn't that mean you have a bad temper and are straightforward, and that you are a stupid stick?"
Fang Jun smiled proudly: "The mallet doesn't just mean silly. It means that it's long and hard and can make young ladies flock to it. It also means that it hurts when it hits people!"
When he was about to die, Bu Qu took off his armor and wore only a moon-white middle coat, striding down the general platform.
Zhang Shigui shook his head and laughed. So it turns out that the nickname "Bangchui" has this kind of meaning?
He is both extremely arrogant and capable of making a fool of himself. He is truly a character...
The soldiers on the school field were excited when He Zongxian issued the challenge. At this moment, when they saw Fang Jun taking off his armor and striding down the general platform, obviously agreeing to He Zongxian's challenge, they were even more excited and shouted.
Anyway, just watch the fun and don’t be afraid of big trouble, so who is afraid of whom?
Every group naturally has a kind of xenophobia, and will always show an attitude of rejection towards individuals who suddenly join it.
Although Youtun camp is not considered to be the first-class elite among the Sixteen Guards, because Zhang Shigui is deeply trusted by His Majesty, the entire army is stationed in the palace outside Xuanwu Gate, so even a single leader in Youtun camp is deeply trusted.
He felt proud and felt that he was a head taller than the troops next to him.
Now that Zhang Shigui has left office, the emperor has appointed a young boy like Fang Jun as the commander-in-chief. How can a group of arrogant generals with high ambitions win over them? Even if Fang Jun's legend has already spread throughout the streets and alleys
, even if Fang Jun's achievements in the Western Regions and the South China Sea are not much inferior to those famous generals who have been famous for a long time, after all, his age and reputation as a playboy will make it difficult to convince the public here.
In the army, if the commander cannot convince the soldiers, it will be difficult to stay for a long time, no matter how strong your background is...
However, Fang Jun did not hesitate to agree to He Zongxian's challenge at this moment, which made most people think that this dude was at least a good man. Winning or losing was important, but whether he dared to face the challenge was obviously more important!
Fang Jun strode to the front of He Zongxian, cupped his hands and said: "Looking at Chang'an, no one has dared to be so arrogant in front of me for a long time. Regardless of the outcome, I admire your courage. Come here and let me see you."
Is the hero in Youtun Camp a cricket that only knows how to boast, or is he a real tiger?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a cry!
"Oh! How arrogant! He deserves to be the biggest club in Chang'an!"
"Isn't it reasonable that the tens of thousands of warriors in Youtun camp are like crickets in his eyes?"
"Captain He, put him down!"
"Yes, put this guy down and see if he still dares to be so arrogant in Youtun camp!"
"Fang Erlang, you'd better go to Pingkangfang to find a brothel to drink and listen to music. Youtun camp is not a place for you to act wild!"
…
It was such a mess that Fang Jun didn't think much of it. Don't expect men in the army to have clean mouths. Don't say such insulting words. If you don't open your mouth and curse your mother, you are giving him face...
It's useless to talk louder. In the final analysis, you can only shut up if you completely convince them!
He Zongxian laughed angrily, nodded and said, "It's useless to be tough. Just don't cry when you lie on the ground later!"
It was at the request of his father-in-law that he challenged him in public and helped Fang Jun quickly establish his prestige. The price was that He Zongxian would not be able to gain a foothold in Youtun Camp in the future and would follow his father-in-law Zhang Shigui as the guard of Xuanwu Gate.
To be honest, He Zongxian is unwilling!
Since any man joins the military, he has the dream of opening up territory and finding a wife and children, let alone a brave man like He Zongxian? However, he cannot disobey his father-in-law's order, even though what his father-in-law seeks comes from Fang Jun.
Favor can probably keep the Zhang family's descendants safe for decades...
However, not disobeying does not mean that you are emotionless!
He Zongxian decided to give Fang Jun a show of strength and let this usually wanton and reckless dude see his true abilities. The worst he could do was lose to him at the last moment...
The two stood opposite each other, each taking a stance, staring at each other eagerly. The soldiers formed a circle and cheered He Zongxian. They didn't care whether Fang Jun was about to become their commander. If he was really capable, he would deal with it in the future.
Everyone was convinced. If he didn't have that ability, they wouldn't believe that Fang Jun had the nerve to settle today's debt!
Zhang Shigui stood on the referee's stand and looked at the situation on the field, frowning slightly, but immediately relaxed his eyebrows and smiled slightly.
Although the son-in-law's behavior was obviously in conflict with his orders, Zhang Shigui felt that it was nothing. He was a young man with a strong heart and a proud heart. Who would be willing to belittle himself in order to set off others?
In the middle of the field, amid the roar and cheers of the surrounding soldiers, He Zongxian slammed his left foot on the ground, stepped forward, clenched his right hand into a fist, and punched Fang Jun in the face with a fierce punch!
Fang Jun stared closely at He Zongxian's footsteps. When He Zongxian's iron fist was only a few inches away from his face, he suddenly turned his head and stepped sideways. While avoiding the punch, he stepped forward with his feet and turned slightly sideways.
, bullied into the middle of He Zongxian's wide open goal, exerted force on his shoulders and hips at the same time, and hit He Zongxian's chest fiercely.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and He Zongxian only had time to grunt, and his body felt as if he was hit by a wild bull running at full speed. An irresistible force surged in, and his body flew backwards six or seven feet like a cloud and mist, and fell heavily.
He was on the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
Fang Jun knocked He Zongxian away in one glance, looked around at the soldiers, and said loudly: "Who else is there?!"
The soldiers were stunned one by one...
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
This was He Zongxian, a brave and powerful man in the army, and he was knocked down by just a face-to-face confrontation without even touching his fist?
