In recent years, the honorable ministers in the early years of Zhenguan have either gradually handed over power, or have grown older. Except for a few who are still active in the court, most of the others have gradually fallen into silence. Although their great achievements in those years have been constantly praised. Mentioned, it is called an example for educating the next generation, but for young people, those legends already belong to ancient times, and it is difficult to empathize with them.
However, Fang Jun has risen in the present, and has made outstanding achievements in the eyes and ears of the younger generation. This feeling is more intuitive. This makes the younger generation, although they admire the great achievements of Zhenguan Minister, feel more towards Fang Jun. Worship and reverence.
Hou Mo Chen Fen counted Fang Jun's extraordinary achievements over the years, and suddenly felt that Duan Hu's words may not be unreasonable.
Once Fang Jun leads his elite soldiers from hundreds of battles back to the pass without being noticed, and suddenly appears in front of the Guanlong army, and the two sides suddenly start a war, what will happen and what will be the result?
No matter how optimistic you are, you don't think the Guanlong army has much chance of winning.
There is no way, Fang Jun's performance in recent years is too fierce, and the army under his command has been fighting in all directions without even a single defeat...
Hou Mo Chenfen's complexion became extremely ugly.
…
On the second day after arriving in Liangzhou, Youtun Guards rested outside Liangzhou City. After trekking thousands of miles, it was inevitable that they would be exhausted and exhausted. If they could not rest and recuperate in time, it would not only increase the chance of soldiers and horses being injured, but also cause the army's combat effectiveness to plummet.
Fang Jun was sitting in a temporary camp outside the city when a scout came to report that Gar Zanpo led ten thousand fine cavalry under his command and came over the Qilian Mountains from Dadou Valley.
Fang Jun was a little surprised. Calculating the days, Po Zan should have sent someone to deliver the letter before leaving Qinghai and Hunan. This guy didn't even ask his father Lu Dongzan for instructions before sending troops without authorization, or Lu Dongzan It has been explained a long time ago that the relationship with the Donggong family must be maintained, or Zan Po will make a sudden decision.
In any case, it can be seen that the Gar family really sincerely wants to make good friends with the Tang Dynasty, especially the Donggong family. In turn, it shows that Songtsen Gampo's suspicion of Ludongzan has reached a peak. As soon as he ascended the throne, he received support from Lu Dongzan, and I am afraid that the Gar family has been exterminated...
A Gar family that is gradually drifting away from the Tubo regime and suspicious of each other is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. It can act as a buffer between the two countries and prevent the Tubo from unscrupulously occupying the Tang Dynasty like in history. Territory, the Tang Dynasty was unable to fight back due to civil strife.
…
For a long time, while Fang Jun was drinking tea and deducing every move he would make, there was suddenly a noise outside the tent.
One person spoke harsh Chinese in a rough voice, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "This is simply unreasonable! I am the third son of the Gar family, with a noble status. This time, at the invitation of the Duke of Yue, I personally led 10,000 elite cavalry to help out. , but you didn’t even show the face of the general, and instead asked me to come to meet you in the army. It’s really rude! I tell you, if it weren’t for the invitation personally written by the Duke of Yue, based on your current attitude, I would If you leave immediately after the meeting, do you believe that the official of the Yue Kingdom will chop off your heads afterwards?"
Amidst the curses, a person opened the door curtain and walked in. Just as he took a step, he saw Fang Jun sitting on the main seat, wearing neat armor and a golden sword. He immediately stared, as if he had seen a ghost. Generally speaking, Chichi said: "You, you, you...could it be that the Duke of Yue is in front of you?"
The person who came was none other than Po Zan.
At Fang Jun's invitation, he led his army and successfully crossed the fortress at Dadou Bagonkou and arrived at Liangzhou City. However, only one captain of the Tang army came forward and said that the general was waiting in the camp, which immediately made Zanpo very dissatisfied. He
After coming all the way, the Tang army's commander-in-chief was firmly seated in the center of the army. This was so pretentious!
Does this general think he is Fang Jun?
Zan Po was extremely dissatisfied and almost turned around and left. She just thought that her family was now exiled to Qinghai Lake, with Tubo on one side and the Qilian Mountains on the other side of the border with the Tang Dynasty. It is true that there are tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door. If she is like Fang Jun,
The feud between powerful ministers led to a change in Tang Dynasty's strategy towards the Gar family, and he became the sinner of the Gar family.
I can only come here with patience...
Of course he didn't know Fang Jun, but to be able to be in the middle army like this, wearing a mountain armor with gorgeous patterns on his body, and with Yuan Ting Yue Zhi's graceful demeanor, how could he be an ordinary person? Then he thought about how he was furious just now, blaming Tang Jun for being rude.
, but several Tang military captains responded with smiles, and there was a bit of mischief in their smiles...
It can only be Fang Jun.
Fang Jun laughed and stretched out his hand to guide him aside: "Sanlang has come from afar, please take a seat."
Seeing that it was indeed Fang Jun, Po Zan was surprised and doubtful. After saluting, he came forward to sit down and looked at him carefully. He was very curious about this powerful official of the Tang Dynasty because his father, Lu Dongzan, had praised Fang Jun's talent in front of their brothers more than once.
, ability, I believe that this person will sooner or later become an unstoppable giant in the military and political circles of the Tang Dynasty, and his achievements are definitely not inferior to any of the Zhenguan ministers.
Now it seems that apart from the fact that his face is dusty and he looks younger than himself, and his eyes are bright and deep, there is nothing surprising...
Seeing that he was constantly sizing him up, Fang Jun asked his soldiers to serve him tea first and said with a smile, "Why, does Sanlang think that this commander is an imposter?"
Zanpo shook her head and said bluntly: "This is not true, I just have doubts in my heart. This time I go to Mobei to suppress the rebellion, I can just send any deputy general. How can I be able to lead the Duke of Labor Yue? After all, the fierce battle in the Western Region is currently going on, and the Dashi army is fierce.
Very, if you are not careful, the Anxi Army will be defeated."
Compared with Mobei, the importance of the Western Regions is more than ten times more important? It makes no sense whatsoever to leave the more than 100,000 food troops in the Western Regions alone and personally lead troops to Mobei to quell the rebellion...
Fang Jun invited Zanpo to drink tea and said calmly: "In this meeting, I want to apologize to Sanlang, and please forgive me for my deception."
Po Zan held the tea cup and asked curiously: "Where did the Duke of Yue lie to you?"
Fang Jun said slowly: "The reason my commander is sending troops this time is not to quell the rebellion in Mobei, but to go straight to Guanzhong, rush to the aid of Chang'an, completely defeat the rebels, and protect the East Palace!"
"ah!"
Zan Po exclaimed and almost knocked over the teacup in her hand. She quickly put down the teacup and widened her eyes: "Then the Duke of Yue also wants to help you return to Guanzhong to suppress the rebellion?"
Fang Jun nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
Po Zan was speechless for a moment, complaining secretly.
Naturally, he knew the chaos in Chang'an very well. It was still unknown whether Dong Gong could persevere to the end or whether Guan Long's remonstrance was successful. Everything was possible. The reason why he was so happy to lead the army after receiving Fang Jun's letter
The reason why I came here is because I have good relations with Donggong and Fang Jun and agrees with the interests of the Gar family and sends troops to help them suppress the rebellion in Mobei, even if they pay the price.
But the Gar family was absolutely unwilling to participate in the power struggle within the Tang Dynasty.
Because as long as you participate, you must choose a side to stand on, whether it is Donggong or Guanlong. Once you win, you can naturally gain greater benefits, but the risks also exist. Once the side on which you stand fails, the Gar family must bear the responsibility to respond.
Responsibility.
The victorious party will definitely be very angry with the Gar family, which will cause huge losses to the interests of the Gar family. Even if the Gar family is optimistic about Fang Jun, they are not willing to take such risks...
Fang Jun saw that Po Zan was silent, but he did not allow him to think for too long, and pressed: "This time, I am rushing to help Chang'an. The journey is long and time is tight. I have only been delayed for two days to wait for San Lang. Now, please speak frankly,
Are you willing to help me return to Beijing to put down the rebellion? Don't say anything to me that requires your father's permission. You can make your own decision about this matter, and I can't wait that long."
Faced with Fang Jun's aggressiveness, Po Zan was sweating a little. This man was so sharp that it was too difficult to deal with...
He also knew that Fang Jun would not allow him to delay with any excuse, so he weighed the pros and cons in his mind, pondered for a while, and had no choice but to say: "From the perspective of the Gar family, this matter must not be agreed to. After all, there are too many disadvantages and future consequences."
Too big. But who said that I have always admired the Duke of Yue and fell in love with him at first sight? Since the matter has come to this, that's it! At worst, I will be severely scolded by my father after I go back, but I am not willing to give up this time to fight alongside the Duke of Yue no matter what.
Opportunity!"
He is also a talented person. He clearly wants to scold his mother in his heart, but his face is impassioned, and he looks like "you, Fang Jun, have a lot of face"...
Of course, the main reason that prompted him to make such a decision was that Fang Jun suddenly appeared here, and although he claimed to have brought 10,000 cavalry, according to Zanpo's visual inspection, it was definitely not less than 30,000. Various signs indicate that
There must have been earth-shaking changes in the war situation in the Western Regions, and the Tang army must have won a complete victory. Otherwise, could Fang Jun escape from the Western Regions and mobilize so many troops?
After defeating Tuyuhun one after another and making a big impact on the country, the combat power of Fang Jun's army is really shocking. With elite soldiers like these from hundreds of battles rushing to support Chang'an, plus the 10,000 elites he brought with him, and in cooperation with the East Palace, the chances of victory will be greatly increased.
This is also a huge gamble. Once the bet is won, not only can Fang Jun's friendship be gained, but the Princes of the Tang Dynasty can easily accept the Gar family. The benefits are really too great...
