The two walked into the camp, surrounded by extremely excited Youtun guards. Fang Jun told Gao Kan: "When I return to Beijing this time, I invite Zan Po, the son of Lu Dongzan, to accompany me. There are more than ten thousand Huqi under his command."
If you don’t have enough energy, you have to arrange it properly.”
"Here!"
Gao Kan agreed, hesitated a little, and asked: "Commander, will you enter the palace to see the prince now? All the family members are in the camp, and His Highness Gao Yang and Lady Wu have been waiting for a long time..."
Fang Jun paused slightly, glanced into the camp, suppressed his longing, shook his head and said: "The situation is very critical. We should enter the palace as soon as possible to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy with His Highness. We should put aside our family affairs for the time being."
Li Chengqian indeed had great trust in him, leaning on his humerus and obeying his words. But there are differences between monarchs and ministers. If after returning to Chang'an, he puts aside family and country affairs and meets with his family members first, it is inevitable that he will be spoiled and spoiled, and there will be no distinction between family and country.
suspicion.
The current situation is very precarious. If we cannot unite and cooperate as one, we will end up with discord due to such things, which is not worth the gain.
Gao Kan nodded, and without saying another word, he led Fang Jun to the Xuanwu Sect.
…
At the Xuanwu Gate, the Beiya Imperial Guards saw the cheers erupting from the sky at the Youtun Guard Camp. They were also infected by the emotion and raised their arms and shouted.
The Beiya Imperial Guards are the most loyal to the emperor in the world and naturally support all the emperor's decisions. The prince was appointed by His Majesty Li Er. Before His Majesty Li Er deposes him, he is the legitimate crown prince of the empire and no one can replace him.
The Guanlong rebels suddenly launched an army and invaded Chang'an, intending to depose the East Palace and establish a new crown prince. This was absolutely unacceptable to the Beiya Imperial Army, so the entire army stood firm and stood firmly on the side of the East Palace.
Now is the time when Guanlong is unstoppable. All the nobles in the world have raised their troops to help and follow behind. The East Palace is alone and invincible. Even the imperial city has fallen. Taiji Palace is even more in danger. At this critical moment, Fang Juntong
The tens of thousands of elite soldiers marching thousands of miles to aid the East Palace will reverse the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop, and the morale of the Beiya Imperial Army will also be greatly boosted.
After getting the message from Fang Jun, Zhang Shigui and Li Junxian walked down the city tower together. Hundreds of Beiya Imperial Guards were fully armed and stood inside the Xuanwu Gate. Zhang Shigui waved his hand, and someone moved the winch, and the tall and heavy city gate creaked.
Pull it inwards.
The imperial army trotted neatly outside the Xuanwu Gate and formed formations on both sides of the city gate.
Under the light of the torch, Fang Jun rode alone to the city gate. When he got off his horse, Zhang Shigui and Li Junxian were already approaching him.
"I've met Duke Guo!"
Fang Jun saluted Zhang Shigui first, and then Li Junxian saluted Fang Jun.
“I’ve met Duke Yue!”
After greeting each other, Zhang Shigui took two steps forward, patted Fang Jun on the shoulder, with a look of relief and admiration on his face, and did not hesitate to speak with compliments: "This time I went straight to the Western Regions and fought for thousands of miles. I won a series of battles and won the country's prestige. Erlang deserves it."
With the praise of 'unparalleled national scholar', his name will be immortalized in history."
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "How dare you deserve such ridiculous praise? In fact, the three armies sacrificed their lives to win the victory by luck. I definitely don't dare to take the military glory for myself, which will make people laugh."
"Haha! Tuyuhun, Turks, Dashi, many powerful enemies were killed by Erlang one after another. Looking at the court, how many people can match such feats? No matter how high the praise, you deserve it!"
When Zhang Shigui said this, he was really full of envy and jealousy.
As a military general, who doesn't dream of raising the sky to protect him from within, beheading generals and seizing flags from outside, achieving great fame throughout his life, and making contributions that will last forever? However, if you want to be remembered in history, in addition to your own strength and tyranny, luck is also indispensable.
If Chai Zhewei hadn't been timid and fearful of fighting, and faced the prince's edict saying that he was ill, which forced Fang Jun to lead his army out to control Hexi, how would he have achieved such illustrious achievements in successively defeating Tuyuhun, Turks and cannibals?
I think Zhang Shigui claimed to be a famous general at that time, and his strength was as good as anyone else, but he always had bad luck and never really took charge of his own affairs...
Time is also fate.
Zhang Shigui guarded the Xuanwu Gate and could not leave his post without authorization. Li Junxian led Fang Jun into the city through the Xuanwu Gate, passed through the Inner Gate, and went straight to the Taiji Palace.
When passing through the inner gate, many royal family members who were placed here stood at the door, watching with complicated eyes the "hero" who led the army to raid thousands of miles to aid the East Palace.
The palace is a big river and lake, filled with all kinds of interests, and countless factions have naturally spawned. Some people are attached to the East Palace, and naturally there are people who are against the East Palace. The ups and downs of the court affect many people in the palace.
Human interests, downfall or prosperity all mean the obedience and resistance of the human heart.
Some people are grateful that Yu Fang Jun is loyal and has traveled thousands of miles to aid the East Palace, while others secretly hate him for his many twists and turns, which has caused the current situation to change again, and the victory that was so easy for the Guanlong clan has to be delayed...
Eyes were focused on him one after another, with different expressions and emotions, and Fang Jun turned a blind eye.
His eyes only glanced at the doors of the houses on both sides, and then focused on a face that was elegant, refined, and unparalleled in beauty.
The crow's green silk hair is tied into a delicate bun, revealing the crystal-clear jade ear shells, the white and slender neck is as elegant as a swan, and the slim figure is covered in a simple Taoist robe. The wind blows the clothes and makes her look as graceful as the sky.
Xuannv.
Those clear eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of autumn water, with ripples of light and affection.
The four eyes met each other, the affection was lingering, everything was unspoken.
Fang Jun nodded slightly, his eyes moved away from Princess Changle's beautiful face, and fell on another delicate and dignified face next to her. When Fang Jun's eyes met, Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she raised her hand
A snow-white little hand waved vigorously, changing from the previous dignified appearance, and he was very happy.
Fang Jun felt warm in his heart. He was relieved to see that all the people he cared about were safe. It seemed that the fatigue from traveling for thousands of miles had been wiped away. He was full of energy and high in fighting spirit. As the soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Division passed through the inner gate,
Go straight to Tai Chi Palace.
…
Although Li Chengqian withdrew to the Xuanwu Gate, he refused to live under the Xuanwu Gate and be protected by heavy soldiers. Instead, he lived in the duty room inside the Inner Chongmen, which was usually responsible for liaising with the chamberlains inside and outside the Forbidden Palace. Although it was only the door of the Inner Chongmen.
Inside and outside, but the meaning is completely different.
He believes that this place is still within the Taiji Palace, and living in the inner gate and under the Xuanwu Gate means that he will escape at any time...
Inside the check-in room with the inner gate, the lights are brightly lit.
The news that Fang Jun led his army to the north of the Wei River reached the palace, and everyone in the East Palace was excited. Even though it was already past midnight, Li Chengqian still gathered here with a group of East Palace officials, civil and military ministers to discuss the future strategy.
The third watch has passed and no one is in trouble.
Even the frail Cen Wenwen was in high spirits. He looked at the map on the wall and mused: "It is gratifying that the Duke of Yue rushed thousands of miles to help, but how could Guanlong allow him to easily break through the Wei River and reach the Xuanwu Gate?
Joining forces with the East Palace? Since the eldest son Heng'an demolished the Zhongwei Bridge, the Duke of Yue had to detour to Jingshui to rush to Baqiao. Guanlong was bound to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress it. No matter how elite the soldiers under the Duke of Yue were in hundreds of battles, they wanted to break through the obstacles.
If they are prevented from reaching Chang'an City, they will also lose their troops and generals, and they will be exhausted."
Fang Jun's return to aid the East Palace is naturally an exciting thing, and it can also give the East Palace a great support in terms of military strength. It no longer has the previous dilemma of simply being passively beaten and unable to fight back.
But to say that this can reverse the situation of the war is not promising.
Xiao Yu also agreed with this: "Erlang came here and traveled thousands of miles. In order to paralyze Guanlong and reach Guanzhong as soon as possible, he almost never rested and repaired along the way. No matter how elite the army was, it was inevitable that he would be short of men and horses. When entering and leaving Guanzhong, he would encounter Guanlong again.
Containment with superior force is really difficult."
Fang Jun's soldiers indeed made great achievements in battle and were called the strongest army of the Tang Dynasty. However, no matter how powerful the army was, there would be times when it became tired and sleepy, and its combat power would inevitably decline. However, the Guanlong rebels were just waiting for work, and one was declining and the other was growing.
It's hard to say the advantage is too big.
Li Chengqian was also a little unsure. He complained that Fang Jun should not give up the Western Regions and returned to Chang'an, but he was also excited because Fang Jun decided to return to Chang'an... He turned to look at Li Jing, who had been silent, and asked: "What do you think, Duke Wei?"
"
Li Jing looked indifferent and said bluntly: "Although the Duke of Yue is still young, his qualifications and experience are by no means shallow. He can be regarded as the best among the new generation of generals in the empire. He can always take surprises, move dangerously, and achieve unexpected results."
As a result. Since everyone here can guess the current situation, Guanlong must also think so, so how could the Duke of Yue not know? Since he knows that going around Jingshui River to Baqiao is a dangerous road, he will definitely make adjustments.
We will never fulfill the wishes of the Guanlong rebels."
Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu were silent, somewhat unhappy in their hearts. These words almost clearly said, "You don't understand the strategy, so don't worry too much." However, no matter how unhappy they were, they could only endure it. Li Jing's current status was much different from that in the past.
It's different. He can almost be said to be the actual military leader of the East Palace and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. Furthermore, what Li Jing said is right...
