In the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing led his troops from Longxi and fought thousands of miles in six days; at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led his cavalry to pursue Liu Bei, marching three hundred miles day and night. This was considered the limit of cavalry travel, so Zhuge Liang said:
At the end of a strong crossbow, the power cannot penetrate Lu's silk."
From Qishan to Chang'an, it is three hundred miles away. The Tubo Hu cavalry can reach it in three days with one man and two horses. However, by then the physical strength of the men and horses has reached the limit, how much combat power can they exert?
At this time, the news of Xiaoguan's fall and Chai Zhewei's defeat must have spread to Chang'an, and Changsun Wuji must organize an army to fight. If he cannot win the first battle, or even suffers a major defeat, this will be a big blow to the Youtun Guards and the Tubo Huqi.
It has a great impact on military morale.
This will only increase the arrogance of the Guanlong rebels.
When two armies are facing each other, military morale is definitely a factor that cannot be ignored. The troops are often weak, and the side in a bad situation can stage a good show of defeating the strong by the weak because of the high morale. What's more, the side with stronger troops is now
If the Guanlong rebels stabilize their military morale and increase their morale, the next battle will become increasingly difficult.
Zan Po, who has been in battle for a long time, naturally understands this. The reason why Fang Jun has such doubts is because of his poor performance in the previous battle against the Zuo Tun Guards and the royal army. If Fang Jun had not personally led the Right Tun Guards cavalry,
He charged into the formation from behind, and even Gao Kan was attacked by the enemy's rear formation. The outcome of the battle is still unknown.
He was a little blushing. He had made a lot of conceited remarks in front of Fang Jun all the way, and was arrogant and talkative. As a result, he lost people as soon as he went into battle... He also became more and more competitive, holding back his energy and wanted to defeat Chang'an City.
Don't let Fang Jun underestimate you if you are in the limelight.
Therefore, he swore solemnly: "Don't worry, Duke of Yue. It is said that one knows one's shame and then becomes brave. I am deeply ashamed of the ineffectiveness of this battle. If the people of Chang'an cannot win in one battle, I am willing to sacrifice Xiang's head and let them do whatever they want!"
Fang Jun said slowly: "There is no joke in the army."
Po Zan's heart trembled, but when she thought of all the benefits of having a good relationship with Fang Jun, her heart trembled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I would like to issue a military order!"
Fang Jun laughed, waved his hand and said: "What kind of military order are you issuing? General Zanpo is not in the ranks of the Tang army, but an ally of this commander. There is no need for this. However, the general should know the urgency of the current situation and cannot tolerate any mistakes.
, I hope you will do your best to help me make peace!"
Zan Po Su Rong said: "Even if we don't issue a military order, please rest assured, Lord Yue, that we will do our best in the battle of Chang'an. Even if we fight to the death of every soldier, we will not retreat even half a step!"
"Okay! I hereby promise that once the siege of Chang'an is lifted, the first thing in court is to ask the prince to exercise the power of supervising the country, set up a foreclosure market in Hexi, and bring many prohibited goods into the Tang Dynasty and
In the Gar family's trade, we will never break our promises!"
Fang Jun was so excited that the method was effective, and he immediately gave him a sweet date...
However, Zanpo has been coveting this sweet date for a long time. Although she knows that it is difficult to eat this date and will cost a lot, she still enjoys it: "That's it, it's a deal!"
At that moment, we withdrew and organized our subordinates, Hu Qi, to take a short rest and replenish their supplies of food and supplies in preparation for the departure.
…
The Right Guards set up camp at the foot of Jiangui Ridge, collecting the prisoners from the Left Guards and the royal army while resting and reorganizing.
After traveling thousands of miles, the entire army arrived here at the end of its strength. If they could not rest for a while, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Gao Kan was led to the temporary camp. Fang Junju sat in the upper seat and asked about the situation in Chang'an. Although he had previously been concerned about the situation in Chang'an.
Everything we know about the situation in Chang'an is based on the battle reports, and the details are inevitably lacking. Now that Gao Kan has come to respond, he naturally wants to ask questions clearly.
However, Gao Kan did not know much about the many changes in Chang'an City, until he mentioned that Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui were elected as leaders by the Guanlong clan. However, he was captured by Li Jing and his troops in less than half an hour, and was later taken back to the emperor.
Under house arrest in the city, leaving the courtyard that he had never left for hundreds of thousands of people, he could no longer hear the distant and distant bells of Dazhuangyan Temple...
Fang Jun sighed: "Changsun Wuji is so cruel! Pushing out the old guy Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui not only attracts the attention of the East Palace, but also eliminates the threats to his leadership position among the Guanlong clan."
The biggest person, in one fell swoop, eliminated the hidden danger that the Changsun family might be isolated and pushed out to pay for the crime once the army was defeated, and he even did not hesitate to take advantage of Changsun Chong for this purpose."
The name "Yin Man" is well deserved.
If it weren't for Hou Mo and Chen Qian to attract all the attention of the government and the public, Changsun Wuji would have been able to sneak back to Chang'an without anyone noticing, and secretly arranged for the army to be launched. Once launched, he would have taken the lead and launched an attack.
The East Palace is in a state of disarray?
In fact, if the Sixth Army of the East Palace had not been reorganized and their combat power had soared, and if Li Jing, a master of contemporary military arts, was at the command, the imperial city might have fallen by now, and what Changsun Wuji had planned would have been accomplished.
When it comes to conspiracies and intrigues, no one in the government or the public can compare to Changsun Wuji...
Fang Jun asked again: "How do you know that a certain person has led his army to attack Guanzhong and has led his army to respond? Furthermore, you left the military camp without permission. What should you do if something happens to Xuanwu Gate?"
He asked himself that he not only disappeared quietly along the way, but also laid all kinds of suspicions. It would be difficult for anyone to guess his whereabouts before arriving at Xiaoguan. This is indeed the case. Even a cunning and shrewd person like Changsun Wuji only discovered his whereabouts after he arrived at Xiaoguan.
Get the message.
Gao Kan said: "How could the general's Yu Mu head guess the commander's intention? However, based on various information, Mrs. Wu concluded that the commander was most likely on his way to help Chang'an, so she ordered the general to come to help. As for the Xuanwu Gate,
It's safe, Commander, you can rest assured. At the end of this trip, the general will only bring a few thousand cavalry, and all the elite infantry will stay at the camp to guard Xuanwu Gate. Even if there are rebels who want to do evil, Xuanwu Gate will be as solid as a rock."
The continuous battles outside Xuanwu Gate made the right guards realize the rebels' combat power and they became more confident. Even the full-strength left guards threw down their armor and fled in panic, let alone the rabble in Guanlong? What if
Taking the initiative to annihilate the rebels would naturally be difficult, but guarding the Xuanwu Gate was as stable as Mount Tai.
Fang Jun nodded.
He is well aware of Gao Kan's ability, although he is not as talented and talented as Xue Rengui or Pei Xingjian, but he is more stable and down-to-earth and never takes risks. Moreover, Wu Meiniang, the "Hidden Emperor" with superb skills, is behind him to make plans, so it is natural that everything will be foolproof.
"Are all the family members in the mansion okay?"
When he heard about the mutiny in Chang'an, what he was most worried about was the safety of his entire family, lest Changsun Wuji might use his grudges to plot against him.
Gao Kan said: "Don't worry, Commander. Your Highness is in charge of the palace, so thieves don't dare to act recklessly, and Lady Wu is there to give advice, so it's even more okay. Oh, by the way, that Princess of Silla is also heroic, and a woman can't be inferior to a man."
…”
He then explained in detail the crises that the house had encountered at the time.
Anger rose in Fang Jun's heart, he squinted his eyes, gritted his back molars, and said angrily: "Old thief Changsun, you are simply too much! This debt will be settled with him slowly."
After looking at the time, he stood up and said: "After taking a short rest, he quickly returned to the Xuanwu Gate. The news that a certain person led an army to rescue Chang'an will surely spread to Chang'an soon. Guan Long is naturally unwilling to give up, and will definitely arrive in Chang'an at a certain date.
Before, they launched a crazy attack and made a desperate move. The pressure on the East Palace Six Rate was too great, and a slight mistake would lead to the fall of the imperial city. By then, the Xuanwu Gate would be the only way for His Highness the Crown Prince and everyone in the East Palace and the Imperial Palace to survive. There must be no chance of any loss.
accident."
When the news of his return to Beijing reached Chang'an, it was expected that the Guanlong rebels would make a desperate move and finally go crazy. The Sixth Army of the East Palace would be under great defensive pressure. The soldiers were in danger and the situation was changing rapidly. They had to do the worst.
plan, and then try your best.
"Here!"
Gao Kan quickly bowed and saluted, saying: "After the soldiers took a short rest, they set off and rushed back to Xuanwu Gate."
Fang Jun thought for a while and said: "Let's set off in the evening. We will arrive in Dongfufeng at midnight. We can set up camp and rest, and we will continue our journey tomorrow morning."
"Here!"
Gao Kan answered the order again, then turned around and retreated, placing his soldiers in place.
Fang Jun then came to the door of the camp, looked to the east with his hands behind his hands, and saw only low clouds, falling snow, and a vast expanse.
…
The city of Chang'an, three hundred miles away, was already tumbling like boiling water in a cauldron. News that Fang Jun led his troops to attack thousands of miles to rescue Chang'an had already spread. The situation suddenly became turbulent, and the morale of the rebels was even more affected.
A huge blow.
No matter how Changsun Wuji tried to comfort him, it was of no avail.
