There are definitely fights and killings in the officialdom, but it is more about human nature.
However, regardless of whether they are fighting, killing, or dealing with the world, what they do is actually just profit. However, the means of pursuing profit are different, and the results are also different.
This time, the Navy blatantly violated Li Ji's military orders, sent troops to pacify Rangcheng, overthrew his country, and forced his king to death. This contribution was so great that even a surrendered general like Ashina Simo felt deeply in his heart.
Not angry, jealous and hot-hearted. If we send out troops to attack the enemy's rear formation at this moment, and attack with the navy inside and outside the city, the enemy will definitely be defeated.
In fact, this group of Goguryeo cavalry chased the Tang army all the way north, and there were only a few brief battles during the period. Both sides stopped at the same time, and the casualties were not large. Obviously, this cavalry is the elite of the Goguryeo army, but
His coach may not necessarily have the heart to die together.
As long as he can win the battle, it is very likely that he will be forced to surrender to the Tang Dynasty... Wouldn't this be a feat?
If the two armies of Xue and Ashina wait a little, wait until the Goguryeo army besieges the city for a period of time and then sends out troops when the city is in danger, it will have the effect of turning the world around. It is indeed a good thing to defeat the Goguryeo cavalry together with the navy's internal and external attacks.
His contribution was to save the navy from danger and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. The merits of the two are incomparable.
One is the icing on the cake, the other is a timely help to turn the tide...
Ashina Simo was born into a Turkic aristocracy and had not read a few books on the Art of War in the Han Dynasty, but these tactics and tactics were the most basic skills for survival, and he was no stranger to them.
Xue Wanche was speechless. He just turned to look at Ashina Simo, considered it, and then asked: "The navy is Fang Er's army, and they are all his close confidants, do you know?"
Ashina Simo was a little puzzled: "Of course we know it, but what can we do? We are not ignoring death, we are just delaying the dispatch of troops. The navy will choke after swallowing such a great contribution.
What does it matter if you give us some moisture?"
"hehe,"
Xue Wanche sneered, tightened his armor, and said: "This way, the two of us have fought side by side, which can be regarded as a friendship. I regard you as a friend, and today's words will stop here and will never be spread.
Otherwise, if someone else spreads your words, do you believe that after Fang Er returns to Beijing, he will dare to attack your mansion and tear down the door of your mansion?"
Ashina Simo spread his hands and was speechless, and said angrily: "Of course I know that this guy is arrogant, but he's not arrogant to this extent, right? It's just sharing some credit, and protecting food is not like this! Besides, Su Dingfang must be dead at this moment.
We are in the city, and we won’t fight on the city. Even if we rescue him later, a few more navy soldiers will die, but Su Dingfang won’t be injured at all, so what does it matter?”
He really didn't understand that the navy was ostracized by the military. Even if Fang Jun was in charge of the Ministry of War and had the responsibility to report his merits, it would be difficult to completely win over Su Dingfang for the credit of destroying the country. The Duke of the country had no hope, and he could stand up to a marquis.
.In this case, why not share some of the profit with yourself?
At any rate, I had fought side by side with Fang Jun in Dingxiang City. He seemed to be a broad-minded person and not so stingy...
Xue Wanche shook his head, and asked his soldiers to put the cloak on him, while fastening the waist knife firmly around his waist, and said calmly: "Khan, you don't understand Fang Er's temperament. Of course he won't know how to do it with just a mere meritorious service."
He takes it seriously, but every soldier under his command is regarded as a brother and sister. If those soldiers died on the battlefield, Fang Er would definitely not say anything, but if his soldiers died in vain because others were competing for credit, then
Absolutely not. When he first joined the army and took charge of Shenji Camp, he followed the army in the westward expedition to Gaochang. During this period, some of his soldiers died in battle. He collected their bodies, burned them to ashes, put them in pottery altars, and brought them back to Chang'an. Back to Chang'an.
After Chang'an, he personally held the jars of ashes and sent them to his eldest wife and children one by one, and offered them pensions."
He tightened the silk ribbon around his neck and straightened his cloak. The bright red cloak was very handsome. Then he looked at the embarrassed Ashina Simo and continued: "When it comes to 'loving soldiers like sons', all the soldiers in the army are very handsome."
There is no better general than Fang Jun. Others may not care about your little cleverness, but if Fang Jun finds out, he will definitely fight you to death. If he really kills you and me with a knife, how do you think the court will deal with him?
?So, you can mess with anyone, but don’t mess with Fang Er.”
What a waste!
No matter how stupid Ashina Simo is, he also understands that the status of himself and Xue Wanche in the Tang Dynasty is completely disproportionate. If Fang Jun really gets angry and kills him, your majesty or the prince,
At most, it's just a matter of seizing the title and giving an order.
As for seizing a title, it might be a big deal for others, but why would Fang Jun care?
That guy was deprived of his title and demoted once and twice. He was back to his original state in the blink of an eye...
He quickly cupped his hands and said, "If the general hadn't reminded me, I would have almost caused a catastrophe!"
I was really scared.
For example, for surrendered generals like them, on the one hand, the imperial court still has some use value for them, and they are willing to win over high-ranking officials and generous salaries; on the other hand, it also shows those Hu barbarians who are still against the Tang Dynasty that surrendering to the Tang Dynasty is still the same.
High-ranking officials were allowed to sit and steeds were allowed to ride, which was quite similar to the saying of "a thousand gold buys a horse's bones".
But if you really take yourself that seriously, you are not far from death.
Besides, no matter how valuable they are, how can they beat Fang Jun, a member of a well-established family like Fang Jun?
He just didn't expect Fang Jun to be such a weird person. As a son of a well-dressed and well-fed family, he was so aloof and so different from ordinary soldiers that he actually loved his soldiers like his own son...
Xue Wanche arranged his equipment, holding the sword in one hand and lifting his cloak with the other. He nodded to Ashina Simo and said, "Now that I have said that, I leave it to the Khan to decide for himself."
After saying that, he turned around and strode forward, took the reins handed over by his own soldiers, got on his horse, and said loudly: "My sons, follow me forward to kill the enemy and rescue our naval brothers!"
"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
The soldiers under his command raised their arms and shouted, and their momentum surged. Xue Wanche laughed loudly, clamped the horse's belly, and slapped the horse with a whip. The horse under his crotch made a long neigh of "Herod", strode all four hooves, and galloped forward. Behind him.
The generals also followed closely behind with their horses and whips raised.
More than 10,000 people mobilized at once, rushing toward Pingrang City in front of them like wind and clouds.
Ashina Simo pouted at the ice chips splashed by the horse's hooves. "Bah, bah, bah," he spat out the ice and snow foam that splashed into his mouth, and said angrily: "You have said so, how dare I still have it?"
Are you trying to trick Fang Er? That’s all, if the rescue is timely, I think Fang Er can also get me a favor.”
He didn't have any more thoughts, and immediately called out his troops, who were mixed from both Hu and Han groups, followed Xue Wanche and galloped towards Pingrang City.
…
Under Pingrang City, a fierce battle was going on.
The quality of the navy's soldiers and weapons and equipment are indeed unparalleled in the world, but some of the tens of thousands of troops have to be left to guard the ships and baggage. Some of them were killed or injured in the fierce battle during the previous siege, and the number of troops was severely reduced. The rest can be boarded.
The troops fighting at the top of the city are really limited.
And this Goguryeo army was extremely cunning.
They did not just attack fiercely, but relied on enough troops to surround Pingrang City. The main attack point changed back and forth. Sometimes they attacked the Seven Star Gate, sometimes they moved to the east city, and sometimes they harassed the west city. The Tang army had to mobilize back and forth.
, tired of coping.
Its tactics were flexible and changeable, far beyond those of the ordinary Goguryeo army.
Su Dingfang sat in the city and commanded from the center. He could not help but be amazed by the enemy general's military strategy and asked around him: "Is this Eulji's successor very famous in Goguryeo?"
A Goguryeo official who had surrendered flattered him and said, "Even though Eulji's successor has extraordinary abilities, how can he be seen in front of the commander-in-chief? The commander-in-chief only needs to wave his hand, and this person will be wiped out!"
Su Dingfang said calmly: "Come here, kick this person out!"
"Here!"
The soldiers came in and took the flatterer out.
The rest of the Goguryeo officials in the room kept smiling, and secretly complained in their hearts. Saying nice things was a sign of flattery, and they would be kicked out at every turn. Saying bad things was even worse. The Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Dynasty Navy simply refused to accept hard words and was too difficult to serve.
All the Goguryeo officials looked at their noses, their noses looked at their hearts, and they were cautious and cautious, not even daring to take a breath.
At this time, Mr. Xi bought a military uniform, walked in from the outside, and said loudly: "Aren't these two bastards Xue Wanche and Ashina Simo watching the fire from the other side, waiting to reap the benefits? Mother! The enemy troops under the city are attacking fiercely.
, our troops are weak, outnumbered on the left and right, and it is difficult to resist. We are about to scale the city wall and attack the city, but those two people are nowhere to be seen!"
