Although Li Jing had a bumpy career and was repeatedly rejected, he was not a political idiot and naturally understood Li Chengqian's thoughts. Although he didn't care if Fang Jun's family was the dominant one, causing jealousy and causing divisions within the East Palace, he still did his part and said bluntly: "The current situation is
Although it has been slightly relieved, it is far from the point of talking about victory. Although the Guanlong rebels suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, they now have the support of the clans in Hedong and Hexi, and their strength has not declined but has increased."
The strategy of running an army is full of means. This passage declares the current predicament and the strength of the enemy. It is considered as "suppression", and then naturally there is "raising". "Suppression first and then raising" can best stimulate morale.
Therefore, he only paused briefly before continuing: "But no matter whether it is the Sixth Army of the East Palace, the Youtun Guards under Fang Erlang, the elite Anxi Army, or even the Tubo Huqi commanded by Zanpo, the son of Lu Dongzan, they are all
They are the most powerful army in the world, and their combat power is far superior to that of the ragtag rebels. As long as they are cautious and not afraid of sacrifice, they can eventually clean up the world and turn defeat into victory."
This can be regarded as setting the tone for the subsequent strategic layout. First, put yourself at the weak point, work together, and attack steadily.
Of course, that's all. Since the news of Fang Jun's return to Chang'an came, he has been thinking about how to arrange his troops again and again. He already has a relatively mature strategy, but he will not put the specific details here.
The strategy is announced.
He glanced at Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others, then remained silent.
The announcement of a specific strategy can naturally boost morale, but the East Palace is not a monolith. Everyone has their own interests. Once the specific strategy is leaked, the rebels will target them everywhere in the future, making it difficult to move forward, and they will only be completely defeated.
Between the lines.
Have to be careful...
Fang Jun happened to look at Li Jing. He looked into Li Jing's eyes, and with a tacit understanding in his heart, he nodded and said: "The Duke of Wei is a famous commander in the world. He only needs to give orders on how to march and arrange the formation, whether it is the Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army, or even the Tubo Army."
Hu Qi will obey all orders. If anyone dares to disobey military orders, he will be killed without mercy!"
Li Chengqian also came to his senses and said: "It's the same with Gu. This battle is all under the command of Duke Wei, and he will never interfere. Even if I need to charge into the battle alone, I will pick up my sword and mount my horse. There will be no shirk!"
In fact, how could Li Jing bypass him and take command without authorization? Even if he had no objections, he would definitely submit the entire strategy...
The other people had different expressions, and naturally they couldn't ask too many questions. Who knew that people would always be on guard against themselves? Moreover, the enemy was facing a powerful enemy. Although strategies against the enemy should be based on collective wisdom to avoid mistakes, in the face of a master of military art like Li Jing,
No one is so thick-skinned to raise such doubts.
Just at this time, the chamberlain served a banquet, and Li Chengqian sat at the head of the table and had a drink with all the courtiers. He was indeed happy today. Although he also knew that he should try to avoid being too kind and making Fang Jun jealous, he couldn't bear it.
Live and keep asking Fang Jun about the detailed strategy of the battle in the Western Regions.
When they heard Fang Jun talk about how he mobilized craftsmen to make hot-air balloons, how he took huge risks to attack enemy camps at night, and how most of the soldiers who piloted hot-air balloons later crashed into the Tianshan Mountains and died because they could not land safely, everyone sighed and admired them.
After that, Li Jing said with regret: "I just regret that the Foundry Bureau has been razed to the ground now, and many craftsmen have been captured and fled. Otherwise, if we can rush to make a batch of hot air balloons and supplement them with the firearms of the Foundry Bureau, no matter how many rebels there are,
What's the point?"
Even he, a traditional art of war master, is increasingly realizing that firearms can change the trend of war. However, he lacks sufficient knowledge in this regard and his thinking is not broad enough. Otherwise, when the war is about to start, the entire Foundry Bureau will be destroyed.
Withdrawing into the imperial city, how can we allow the rebels to wreak havoc to this day?
Fang Jun couldn't help but feel sad when he heard that Ma Zhouyan and the Foundry Bureau had been reduced to ashes, and that the academy students had suffered heavy casualties. Cen Changqian, Xin Maojiang, Ouyang Tong and others were even missing.
Zhenguan Academy was the focus of his efforts to promote natural science and respond to His Majesty Li Er's support for poor students. He spent a lot of effort. It was supposed to be the pioneer of Chinese natural science, but it was destroyed in one day because of a mutiny. It is really sad.
Especially for those academy students who originally left their names and meritorious deeds in history, but who are now receiving advanced ideological education and destined to shine in the world, even the loss of one of them makes him heartbroken, let alone such huge casualties...
The warm atmosphere at the banquet suddenly dropped and ended hastily.
Fang Jun resigned: "The army has just arrived outside Xuanwu Gate. Many matters need to be coordinated and decided without delay. I will go ahead first. When His Highness and Duke Wei discuss the strategy against the enemy, I will act in accordance with the order."
He exchanged greetings with Ma Zhou and Li Daozong, and then walked out of the duty room accompanied by the chamberlain and passed through the inner door.
Just after passing the inner gate, I saw two chamberlains and two maids standing in the doorway. They stepped forward and bowed and said: "On the order of His Highness Jinyang, we are here to wait for the Duke of Yue and invite the Duke of Yue to the Prime Minister."
See."
Although Fang Jun was thinking about his family, he would not refuse. Following several palace guests, he came to one of the rows of houses in the inner gate. The room was lit with candles, incense, and charcoal pots.
In the corner, the wind and snow are blowing outside, but the inside is as warm as spring.
The floor was covered with a thick blanket from the Western Regions. Two princesses were sitting behind the coffee table. One was wearing a Taoist robe and the other was neatly dressed in palace attire. They were both looking at him with bright eyes and smiles.
Fang Jun stepped forward and bowed his head to the ground: "I have an audience with your two highnesses."
Princess Changle pursed her lips and said nothing, staring at Fang Jun's face with eyes as sharp as water. Princess Jinyang's slender waist was straight, she smiled and waved her white hands, and said happily: "Brother-in-law is exempt from the gift!
Hurry up and take your seat!”
After saying that, he moved forward and poured a cup of fragrant tea with his own hands. He held it in both hands and handed it to Fang Jun: "Brother-in-law, drink tea."
When the palace people on the side saw this scene, their eyelids all jumped, and then they all lowered their heads and turned a blind eye.
Even if they are close to each other, it is extremely rude and disrespectful for a princess to offer tea to a man with both hands. If it spreads, she will inevitably be regarded as "uneducated" and "shameless"
The opposite example of.
Several people complained in their hearts that under the dignified and virtuous appearance of their little princess, she had an unruly heart...
As a result, when they saw Fang Jun nonchalantly stretching out a hand to take the tea offered by Princess Jinyang, they no longer even thought about complaining. They could only lower their eyebrows and lower their eyes, look at their noses and noses, and pray to God.
Don’t spread this scene of worshiping Buddha today.
Otherwise, a little princess who is favored by the emperor and the prince, a powerful minister who has countless soldiers and holds great power, killing people and silencing them is like crushing an ant...
Princess Jinyang was filled with joy. She was extremely happy that Fang Jun didn't see anyone else. She even moved closer, and the light and timeless fragrance of her body had penetrated into Fang Jun's nose. Then she asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law is really awesome.
As soon as you come back, everyone in Tai Chi Palace will be excited, as if you have gained a backbone."
The little girl's eyes were shining, and her pretty face was full of admiration.
Fang Jun smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "The hero of Tai Chi Palace is His Highness the Crown Prince. As human ministers, we should overcome all obstacles and dedicate ourselves to the best of our ability."
His eyes had moved away from Princess Jinyang's face and focused on the incomparable beauty on the side.
The four eyes meet each other, and the tenderness is infinite.
Princess Changle suppressed her shyness and said tenderly: "I have lost weight and become darker..."
"puff!"
Hearing her sister talking about "black face", Princess Jinyang couldn't help laughing out loud, pointing at Fang Jun's thin face, and said with a smile: "I remember that sister Gao Yang called her brother-in-law 'the black-faced god', now he is truly worthy of the name." ah!"
The initially ambiguous atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated...
Even though everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened has happened, Princess Changle also accepted this unethical relationship in her heart, but she still felt sorry for Princess Gaoyang. At this moment, when Princess Jinyang said this, she suddenly felt guilty, and her face looked a little bit... Stiff.
Fang Jun glared at the innocent-looking Princess Jinyang, with a bright smile that was sly and even triumphant after some pranks, and he felt at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.
This little girl has many evil thoughts...
However, when I returned to Chang'an for the first time today, there were still a lot of things waiting to be arranged, and Princess Changle lived in the inner gate, surrounded by the royal family members. These palace maids and concubines were usually the most gossipy, and they were very eye-catching, and they definitely did not like her. opportunity to meet.
I can only suppress the thoughts that are ready to move in my heart...
