Pei Xingjian was astonished: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be to alert the enemy and let those in Jiaohe City know that the commander-in-chief has understood his plot?"
"It's just to alert the enemy."
Fang Jun took off his boots, put his feet into the hot water basin sent by the soldiers, breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, and said: "Let those traitors understand that their conspiracy has been exposed."
We know everything, how can they still sit still and wait for death?"
Sometimes alerting an enemy can ruin a big thing, but sometimes you can force the enemy to take action and strike first yourself.
Pei Xingjian was stunned.
If those people in Jiaohe City knew that their treacherous plot had been leaked, they would definitely not sit back and wait for death. Since the existence of the Turks has been known to Fang Jun, they must have a plan. They can no longer think of a surprise attack, but those people still control an Arab cavalry.
, while all of Fang Jun's attention was on the Turks, he commanded the Arab cavalry to strike with all his strength at the critical moment, and the effect would be better than previously expected.
As long as the Arabs are dispatched, they will inevitably be close to Jiaohe City, and their whereabouts will be difficult to hide, especially with the full vigilance and investigation of the Youtun Guards.
Once the Arabs' whereabouts are revealed, it will be difficult for surprise troops to be effective. The right guard will have the initiative on the battlefield. It can be said that they have full control over when to fight and how to fight.
That night, Cheng Wuting took Fang Jun's command talisman and led a brigade of soldiers to set off overnight, braving the wind and snow, and rushed to Jiaohe City.
*****
Heavy snow was falling, covering the entire Jiaohe City in a blanket of snow. From a distance, it looked like an ice and snow fortress rising abruptly from the plains.
Inside Jiaohe City.
There is a large charcoal basin placed in the government office, and the fine incense charcoal from Guanzhong is burning brightly. The wind is cold outside and snowflakes are flying, but inside the hall is as warm as spring.
Changsun Ming held a ceramic tea cup, took a sip of hot tea, looked up at the raging snow outside, and said with a smile: "This heavy snow has been going on for many days. In previous years, merchants' travel was blocked, and a lot of business would be reduced."
Said. But now, it is an excellent weather. The heavy snow has concealed the movement of the army. Although we do not know where the Youtun Guards are, the Youtun Guards also do not know that the Turks have set up an ambush, let alone the Arabs.
In the hinterland of the Western Region... God helps me."
Although he had planned all this for a long time, the tyrannical fighting prowess displayed by Youtunwei in the great battle made Changsun Ming fearful.
Seventy or eighty thousand Tuyuhun cavalry roared in. An ordinary army, even if its strength was several times that of Tuyuhun, could not withstand its tsunami-like impact. A complete defeat was considered an excellent result, but the complete annihilation of the entire army was also ordinary.
However, who would have thought that such a powerful and powerful army would be defeated and defeated in front of the Dadou Bugu Youtun Guards position with a bloody head-on collision?
It is said that the Tuyuhun people who came with overwhelming momentum were beaten to a mountain of corpses. In the end, countless soldiers abandoned their horses and fled, running like wolves. Even the son of King Tuyuhun died tragically in the army, and they were completely defeated...
This battle shocked the world, and Fang Jun's reputation spread throughout the world. Youtunwei even had the title of "The First Army in the World", which was so prestigious!
Such an army that can defeat 780,000 to 80,000 Tuyuhun cavalry in a head-to-head confrontation, how can a mere 10,000 Turks be able to compete if they charge in a battle formation?
Fortunately, the heavy snow completely covered the traces of the Turks, and until now, no one has discovered the whereabouts of the Turks.
Launching a surprise attack while the Youtun Guards were completely unprepared was the only way for the Turks to defeat the Youtun Guards.
However, even if the Turks were unable to shake the Youtun Guards and failed to kill Fang Jun, Changsun Ming also deployed a backup plan, and there were still Arab cavalry waiting for an opportunity to launch...
Counting from the left to the right, Changsun Ming could not figure out how the Youtun guards could withstand the strong attack and how Fang Jun could survive.
Below him, Hou Mo, Chen Sui, and Chang Sun Han were sitting opposite each other. The former was drinking tea leisurely, with a calm face, but the latter was glaring with anger and said viciously: "As long as you put the right camp
If the Wei army is defeated in the Western Region, Xue Rengui will surely fall into a tight siege by the Arabs and will be close to death!"
A flood in Suiye City not only drowned the Arabs' most elite "Sword of Allah", but also drowned the future of Changsun Han.
Carrying a heavy responsibility but accidentally falling into Xue Rengui's trap, the eldest son Han naturally has to bear the most important responsibility. However, he is not a direct descendant of the eldest son's family. If he made such a big mistake this time, it will naturally be difficult for him to be respected by the family again in the future.
It is even less likely to be entrusted with important responsibilities.
How could he not hate?
Hou Mo and Chen Sui glanced at Changsun Han indifferently and said slowly: "Fang Jun has always been treacherous, has repeatedly achieved special honors, and uses troops like a god. Although the overall situation seems to be settled now, we should not be careless."
Even though he said this, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
Only by destroying the Youtun Guards and killing Fang Jun could Xue Rengui be isolated and helpless and killed by the Arabs. When the Arabs marched in and most of the Western Region fell, only the Guanlong disciples could lead the army to resist the powerful enemy and regain the Western Region, thus
All the power in the Western Region is in his hands.
Especially after killing Fang Jun, the Guanlong clan no longer had any restrictive enemies in the court, and the foundation of the prince was seriously weakened. No matter whether he supported the Jin king to ascend to the throne or turned to support the prince, the influence of the Guanlong clan would not matter.
The status will be completely different.
Therefore, Fang Jun is a stumbling block for the entire Guanlong clan. He must be kicked away in order to sit back and relax and continue to occupy a prominent position in the court...
As a member of the Guanlong Clan, although this plot was led by Changsun Ming, Hou Mo and Chen Sui also benefited a lot afterwards.
Who would be willing to spend their youth in the desolate land of ice and snow in the Western Regions if they were somewhat ambitious?
Chang'an is the stage where heroes can show their talents!
When this happens, he will be a hero of the Guanlong Clan. He will return to Chang'an with the remaining power of his great achievements in the Western Regions and become a new nobleman supported by the Guanlong Clan. He will naturally be as comfortable as a fish in water in the court and be proud of the spring breeze!
Changsun Ming sipped his tea and mentioned another matter: "The Great Protector left Jiaohe City and went to Gongyue City. He must have noticed something. How do you think we should respond?"
Hou Mo and Chen Sui disagreed: "So what if you are aware of it? There is no real evidence. Even if he is the Great Protector and the King of Hejian County, he can't do anything to us."
The power of the Guanlong Clan has penetrated into all aspects of the Western Regions. Even though Li Xiaogong was the Protector of Anxi and was nominally the highest official of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, he could not act arbitrarily and follow the law.
Changsun Han said suddenly: "He is just a royal noble who has been eroded by wealth and splendor, making him strong on the outside and capable on the outside. The reason why he achieved great feats back then was mainly because Li Jing was under his command. If not, he would be just a person."
Ordinary clan. If they were aware of our plan this time, instead of stopping it, they were so frightened that they fled to Gongyue City alone. They are really as timid as mice and are not worth mentioning."
Changsun Ming glanced at Changsun Han and said calmly: "The Protector has made great achievements and is the first general in the clan. How can he be as miserable as you said? The reason why he avoided Gongyue City was not because he was afraid of our plans, but because he was afraid of our plans.
He wants to warn us in this way. He already knows all about our plan. If he carries it out regardless of it, he will definitely end in death! I really thought that the Protector-General sat in the government office all day and didn't care about anything. I thought he was just a person.
Sick cat? Superficial!"
Changsun Han's face turned red and he opened his mouth to argue, but in the end he swallowed his words.
Hou Mo and Chen Sui hesitated and asked, "If this is the case, should we be more restrained?"
Changsun Ming said decisively: "The arrow is on the string and must be fired! So what if Li Xiaogong knew it well? For one thing, he didn't know our specific plan. Furthermore, even if Fang Jun was assassinated by the Turks, he had no evidence to identify us.
It's an internal response, even if the lawsuit goes to Chang'an, we will take care of it! The most important thing now is to deal with Youtun Wei and Fang Jun as soon as possible, and ignore the rest."
The other two people nodded together.
After all, Fang Jun poses too great a threat to the Guanlong clan!
Precisely because Youfang Jun stood firmly on the side of the prince, the prince's prestige was not reduced, and he united the Jiangnan nobles and Shandong families around the prince, making the prince's foundation more solid.
If the current situation continues, as long as the prince ascends the throne, the first major thing will be to eliminate the influence of the Guanlong clan in the court and divide the military and political power between the Jiangnan nobles and the Shandong aristocratic families.
After all, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Guanlong clan has suppressed the Jiangnan gentry and Shandong aristocratic families, suppressing these two forces so hard that they can count the number of officials from these two major forces in the court, three provinces and six bureaus on one hand.
come over.
Feng shui takes turns, and once these two parties gain power, the consequences can be imagined.
