The sky is full of wind and snow, and the majestic Tianshan Mountains in the distance are already hidden in the wind and snow. The majestic majesty of the past has been reduced, and it looks more like a white giant python entrenched on the desolate Gobi.
A majestic red deer quickly ran out of the mountain col. It had a big head and a wide forehead, strong limbs, and its grey-brown hair clung to its strong body, shiny.
The red deer ran wildly in the snow, and then a fast horse came galloping from the mountain col. The rider on the horse shouted loudly, which frightened the red deer and made it more panicked and faster. Its hooves were flying in the snow.
A puff of snow foam arose and he ran for his life.
After the knight, more than ten fast horses followed.
The knight at the front stood on the horse with his feet in the stirrups, loosened the reins with both hands, took a musket from behind, and balanced the short gun on the horse with both hands, aiming at the red deer running wildly in the snow in front of him.
"boom!"
A crisp sound spread far away in the windy and snowy sky, and the red deer fell down and plunged into the thick snow.
More than ten riders came whistling in the wind and swept by the remaining snow. Two soldiers jumped off their horses and lifted the red deer out of the snow. When they saw the wounds on their necks that were still bleeding profusely, they praised loudly: "Hello, Marshal."
marksmanship!"
The leading knight wears a brocade hat and a mink fur coat, his eyebrows are as thick as daggers, his eyes are as bright as stars, his face is square and handsome, but his skin color is a little dark...it is Fang Jun.
Fang Jun laughed, put his musket on his back, held the horse's rein with one hand, looked down at the dead red deer, and said with a smile: "There will be extra food tonight, whoever sees it will be rewarded!"
"The handsome man is mighty!"
The soldiers around were shouting excitedly. In a cold place like the Western Regions, food is scarce in winter. Although the army has a sufficient supply of food, it can only keep its stomach full for the whole day, and often not for more than half a month.
There was less than a little oil and water. Looking at this majestic red deer, everyone swallowed hard.
Xue Rengui rode his horse forward from behind and said with a smile: "The commander's marksmanship is really powerful, he can be said to be able to penetrate the poplar with a hundred steps! I have always heard that the commander is both civil and military. I wonder if you are interested at this moment. Write a few poems to praise this hunting in the snow, which can be said to be able to penetrate the poplar with a hundred steps?"
Fang Jun thought for a while and said: "Shooting at the white deer in the snow, and the laughing book magician relying on the green mandarin duck...how about that?"
Time is like a long river running to the sea, with turbulent waves and never looking back. I don’t know whether I am going back from the lower reaches to the upper reaches, or whether I am stepping from one river to another, but the ending is that I can never go back to the past.
Life.
Perhaps one day, those once beautiful or gloomy memories will slowly fade away over the years until they are completely forgotten...
Xue Rengui was also a man of both civil and military talents. After listening to these two lines of poetry, he touched his chin, clicked his tongue, and reluctantly praised: "The commander is really... quick in thinking."
He could only praise him with "quick thinking". This was clearly a gray deer, but where was the white deer? And this "Laughing Book God Xia relies on Biyuan" sounds confusing, so...
Fang Jun laughed and said: "Xue Sima is not a big official now, but his method of flattering his boss and flattering his horse is getting better and better day by day. Congratulations!"
Xue Rengui was not embarrassed at all, but said with emotion: "In the past, I dismissed the art of flattery as if it were old shoes, but now I understand that whether you are in an officialdom or not, being a human being is far more difficult than doing things. If you continue to do it,
If everyone can’t do a good job, and people are betrayed and dissatisfied, what can they do?”
"Yo!"
Fang Jun was quite surprised. Did he understand the secrets of officialdom and understand the true meaning of life?
I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "There is a future!"
Xue Rengui said humbly: "What you do is red when you are close to the vermillion, and black when you are close to the ink. They are all well-educated by the commander-in-chief, and the general will not dare to be proud."
Fang Jun blinked and said, "Is this a good word or a bad word?"
Xue Rengui smiled and said: "Of course it's a good thing."
The soldiers around me were all looking at them with smiles, saying good things to each other, who could not hear it...
Several soldiers lifted the red deer and placed it on the saddle of a horse. The red deer was very strong, more than four feet high and five feet long. Two or three fierce soldiers used all their strength to pull it down.
It was put on the horse's back and was estimated to weigh more than four hundred kilograms.
The group of people carried the prey back to the camp along the same route.
In the wind and snow, banners were flying, and tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed on the right guard. The officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army camped around Gongyue City, surrounding this important town in the Western Regions with water and water, and it was impregnable.
Back at the barracks, the fire-headed army picked up the red deer, skinned it, drained it of blood and disembowelled it, then set up a bonfire and smeared it with salt.
Inside the barracks, Fang Jun and Xue Rengui washed their hands, each put on a set of loose cotton robes, and sat in the tent drinking hot tea.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and first sent someone to invite Tumidu. Then he leaned back on the chair and said, "The Arabs are standing still these days. They must have some conspiracy and want to strengthen their scouting efforts."
, don’t let those gang of ghosts take advantage of the loophole.”
"Here!"
Xue Rengui agreed and said with a relaxed expression: "Although the Arabs are brave, they are courageous and unintelligent. When it comes to strategy and tactics, they are really poor. Moreover, although their army has a large number of people, their authority and responsibilities are not clearly understood.
It's fine during the battle, with more people and strength, but once we fight against the wind, all the problems of ineffective command, inconsistent orders and actions, etc. will be exposed. They are just a bunch of mobs. As long as we stabilize our position, there is nothing they can do.
Not for me."
After a pause, he added: "Besides, a letter from Chang'an arrived the day before yesterday. Speaking of the Liaodong war, the army has begun to remove the defensive positions of the Goguryeo army outside Pingrang City one by one. Once these positions built on the mountains are cleared one by one,
Pingrang City is like a tortoise that has been peeled off its shell. As long as Goguryeo falls and the Eastern Expedition is over, our support will more than double. Even if the Arabs' strength is doubled by then,
Defeat is certain."
As Fang Jun led the Youtun Guards to Gongyue City, and gave the Arabs a head-on blow, severely defeating their energy, the situation gradually stabilized, and the Anxi Army was no longer passive as before being chased by the Arabs.
When more elite troops come to Chang'an to help, how can the Arabs stand a chance?
Fang Jun frowned and reminded: "It is a good thing to have confidence, but it is absolutely necessary to blindly underestimate the enemy. The Arabs are able to conquer Europe and Asia not only by relying on the strength of their numbers. Their belief in gods can often be
In desperate situations, extraordinary fighting power emerges, so the better the situation is, the more careful you must be."
In this era, the people of the Tang Dynasty had little understanding of and disdain for those countries that entrusted themselves to the gods. They had never experienced the fearlessness of death when an army was in a desperate situation and had faith in its heart.
Faith can often inspire the deep potential of life and make the impossible possible.
Naturally, Xue Rengui had never seen such a miracle, but he had always respected and admired Fang Jun. When he saw Fang Jun being so solemn, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy!"
"
Seeing that he was interested, Fang Jun nodded and said: "In battle formations, there is no guarantee of victory, and naturally there is no guarantee of defeat. A moment of negligence and underestimation of the enemy is likely to lead to a total loss. The more optimistic the situation, the more
The more you cannot underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, you must fight steadily, step by step, and expand your advantage bit by bit. This is what a commander should do. Before, when the troops were at a disadvantage, taking dangerous moves was a last resort, leading an army.
, shouldering great responsibilities, we should try our best to avoid that kind of situation."
"Here! I will finally be taught!"
Xue Rengui stood up and left the table, bowing to the ground.
This is not a profound military art, but it is the standard after the status change from "general" to "coach". As a "general", he should be brave enough to defeat the three armies and defeat the strong with the weak. However, as a "coach", he cannot
You can win in a dangerous battle, let alone take chances.
This is because if the "general" is defeated, it will only be the defeat of an army.
And the defeat of a "handsome" person is likely to be the defeat of a country...
…
The two were talking, Tu Midu took the lead and strode in. After entering the door, he shook off the snowflakes on his body, took off his cloak and put it aside. He came to Fang Jun and saluted, then sat down, rubbed his hands, and said with a heavy expression.
: "The Arabs have been holding back their troops recently, which is a bit unusual."
Fang Jun and Xue Rengui were talking about this issue just now. He glanced at Xue Rengui and asked Tumidu with a smile: "What do you think the Great Khan has to say?"
"Don't take it seriously."
Tumidu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's just that I have always dealt with Arabs and know their temperament well. Their people are barbaric and violent, and they are murderous. They are brave when they are brave, but they lack strategy and are far inferior to you Tang people. When you are in a battle,
They only know how to fight and charge fiercely. If they win, they will move forward bravely like a mountain falling apart. If they lose, they will collapse like wolves running for thousands of miles... In the previous battle, the Arabs were disgraced and suffered heavy losses. According to common sense, they should counterattack immediately to maintain the morale of the army.
, being so forbearing must be a conspiracy and must be guarded against."
The three people's opinions were almost unanimous, and they all obviously saw the abnormality of the Arabs.
