Gao Kan shook his head and said: "There has been no news about this. The Eastern Expedition Army is like a stubborn stone. The outside world only knows its specific itinerary, but no information about it has been revealed at all. Regardless of the safety of His Majesty, the army
The reason for the continuous postponement of the trip is unknown to the outside world."
Today's Eastern Expedition army is like a mist-like existence. The outside world can only see its whereabouts, and no one knows anything about the changes and situations inside it.
Extremely weird...
Fang Jun frowned and asked, "What do you think about this?"
Wang Fangyi remained silent on the sidelines. He had no idea about the changes in the situation in Chang'an and could not even interrupt. He listened quietly.
Gao Kan thought about it and said hesitantly: "All the speculations at the moment seem to be somewhat reasonable, but in fact they are completely groundless and untrustworthy. The stance and tendency of the Eastern Expedition Army are like a fog, but they are related to the direction of the situation in Chang'an.
, Chang'an is now raging with wars and endless battles, but no matter who wins in the end, they need to be recognized by the Eastern Expedition army, otherwise all the current victories will be like a mirror, and they will end in the blink of an eye. Under such circumstances, who can guess what the Eastern Expedition will do?
What is the purpose of conquering the army?"
The current situation is like this. The fighting in Chang'an City is like a clown. The success or failure of life and death is all in the hands of the Eastern Expedition Army. As long as the Eastern Expedition Army does not recognize the winner, hundreds of thousands of troops will enter Guanzhong, regardless of Guanlong.
Or even the East Palace, there is no way they can fight.
Fang Jun had a headache. He really couldn't figure out what Li Ji was thinking. With such an elite army of hundreds of thousands floating outside, threatening both sides of the Guanzhong mutiny at all times, what was the point of not showing the slightest inclination?
Regardless of your reputation, your political stance, or even pursuing your own interests is understandable, but you have to have a stance, right?
Isn't it fun to just watch the city of Chang'an being reduced to rubble?
A master of politics like Li Ji should never do such a meaningless thing...
The three of them sat in silence for a long time, having no clue about the intentions of the Eastern Expedition Army. Fang Jun could only say: "Put this matter aside in advance and ignore it. In short, we must defeat the rebels and bring order to the chaos, otherwise even if the Eastern Expedition Army returns to Guanzhong to support the East Palace,
, which is also useless.”
Gao Kan and Wang Fangyi nodded and said yes.
Fang Jun stood up and said to Wang Fangyi: "The army should pay more attention, especially to the Tubo Huqi side. The food and supplies must be properly arranged. No matter what, they have come all the way to help, so we cannot treat them lightly. I am in the camp tonight.
Reunite with your family and return to the army tomorrow morning."
"Here!"
Wang Fangyi and Gao Kan stood up together and respectfully accepted the order.
Fang Jun refused the two to see each other off, and walked out of the Chinese army's tent alone. Under the escort of his own soldiers, he arrived at the camp not far behind the tent, which was heavily guarded by the Fang family's private soldiers.
All the Fang family members are settled here.
Seeing Fang Jun arrive, all the private soldiers at home knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "See Erlang!"
Fang Jun reined up his horse and stood in front of the camp gate. He swung the stirrup from the saddle and flew off the horse. Facing the dark mass of private soldiers kneeling in front of him, Bu Qu straightened the bag on his head, bowed his hands to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "This time Chang'an
There was a mutiny, and the rebels intended to harm the family. Fortunately, you all sacrificed your lives to retreat from the enemy. I already know it. My family's poetry and etiquette are passed down to the family, and their benevolence and righteousness are not compromised. They will never treat the righteous people who sacrifice their lives to accompany them in critical moments. It's over here.
The dead will be buried generously, the injured will be rewarded generously, the Fang family will remember their kindness from generation to generation, and share the wealth and honor, never leave!"
With his current status and the prestige in the hearts of his family members and private soldiers, speaking these words naturally made the crowd excited and morale high. Hundreds of soldiers all knelt down on one knee and raised their necks.
His muscles bulged, his face flushed, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "I am willing to serve the master of the house, I am willing to serve Erlang, and I will do my best to die!"
"Don't turn your heels!"
The huge shouts penetrated the wind and snow like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, spreading in all directions in the camp, attracting everyone's attention. Seeing the dedication of Fang Jun's family soldiers, they were all admired and envied.
In such an era, the family soldiers are almost equivalent to dead soldiers, who are willing to go through fire and water for the head of the family, even to the death. As long as the Fang family has hundreds of powerful family soldiers, the Fang family will be the first-class family in the world.
…
Inside the camp, when he heard the shouts from outside like a tsunami, Jin Shengman stood up from his seat with a look of joy on his face: "Mr. Lang is back!"
Wu Meiniang on the side raised her lips and said with a smile: "Not long after my sister got married, my husband swore to go to war, and we were separated for more than half a year. As the saying goes, 'eat the marrow and know the taste', once you taste the sweetness, you will feel empty for a long time. I think it's already...
Impatient."
"Pfft! Ahem..."
Princess Gaoyang, who was drinking tea, almost spit out the tea in her mouth. She choked and coughed several times. She glanced at Wu Meiniang and said angrily: "How can you tease people like this?"
Although Jin Shengman was already married and considered a young woman, as Wu Meiniang said, Fang Jun led his army to the west not long after their wedding. She had not really gotten used to being a woman, so how could she withstand Wu Meiniang's harsh words?
Immediately, her pretty face turned red as if she was about to bleed. She was so embarrassed that she stamped her feet and said, "What did you say, sister? I'm so embarrassed..."
Holding her cheeks that were about to be cooked, she turned back to the chair and sat down obediently, with her head hanging down and her toes making circles on the ground, not daring to speak.
Where can I find the vigorous and valiant man who captured Changsun Wen alive in front of the Banfenfang Mansion?
She has not been married for long and is still a little alienated at home. She has more respect for Princess Gaoyang, but more fear of Duowu Mei Niang. In fact, she is so wise that she is almost a monster, and her methods are really tough and ruthless, so she is deeply afraid of her...
Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, said nothing, and looked at Princess Gaoyang with a smile.
The latter didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glared at her and asked her to restrain herself and not to scare others...
Obviously, Wu Meiniang is trying to knock Jin Shengman. Don't rely on your status as a bride to be pampered. The status of the family is clear and orderly. When the husband returns from the war, it is not your turn to stand in front to greet him.
Although Princess Gao Yang understood that Wu Meiniang's move was indeed necessary, as it would easily lead to unrest in the family if there was no distinction between superiors and subordinates, such methods of manipulating and striking at any time and at any time also gave her a headache.
The inner house was as tense as a court, and no one dared to overstep the mark...
Princess Gao Yang stood up and said softly: "Let's go out to meet your husband."
"Here."
Jin Shengman stood up obediently. Although she wished she could fly to her husband and throw herself into his arms, she followed Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang obediently and filed out of the tent.
From a distance, I saw Fang Jun riding into the camp. The sound of hoofbeats sounded like wind and clouds as he arrived at the entrance of the camp. He pulled the reins hard and the horse stood up with a long neigh. Before the horse could stand firm, Fang Jun flew off the horse and dismounted.
, walked quickly to the entrance of the camp and stood opposite the three women.
The couple faced each other, and the three women looked at Fang Jun carefully. They saw that his originally handsome face was stained with a strong weathered look, his cheeks were thin, and his eye sockets were sunken. Although his demeanor was calmer and richer than before, his whole body was stained by wind and frost.
After hard work, I lost even half of my former glory...
They couldn't help but shed tears of distress.
Princess Gaoyang wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and bowed down. Behind her, Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman also sobbed a few times, and then they said softly together: "I have three concubines, please welcome me."
Fang Jun strode forward, first helped Princess Gaoyang up with both hands, and then held up Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman one by one. His eyes wandered over the faces of the three of them for a moment. When he saw that they were all radiant and elegant, he felt completely at ease.
He smiled and said: "This time I went on an expedition to the Western Regions and went through battles. I was thinking about my lovely wife and concubine all the time. Every night it was cold and alone, and I couldn't sleep alone. I was tossing and turning, and I was unbearably hungry and thirsty."
"Oh! You are such a serious person."
"There are so many people, why are they saying such shameful words..."
"Hey..."
The three girls were so embarrassed by Fang Jun's sudden "confession" that they became angry and resentful. They all dragged Fang Jun into the tent.
Are you ashamed to say this in public?
It's better to talk behind closed doors...
Inside the tent, the four husband and wife sat together and talked warmly for a long time, confiding to each other their longing for each other and expressing their sincere affection to each other. After a long time, Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman said goodbye one after another and went back to their homes.
Princess Gaoyang asked the maids to fetch hot water, blushed and drove the maids away. She personally stepped forward to undress Fang Jun and said softly: "I am waiting for you to take a bath."
Fang Jun stretched out his arms and waited carelessly for Her Royal Highness the Princess to serve.
After her clothes were taken off, Princess Gaoyang blushed and helped Fang Jun into the bathtub filled with warm water. She was about to turn back to get the kudzu towel to rub her husband's back, but suddenly her waist tightened and her feet felt light.
The whole person was picked up by Fang Jun, and fell into the tub with a "plop", and his clothes were soaked in an instant.
"oops!"
Princess Gaoyang only had time to scream in surprise before her mouth was blocked.
"Hey..."
The water ripples and the room is filled with spring.
