The formulation of strategy does not involve specific tactics, but the formulation of tactics is the power of Li Jing, the nominal commander of the East Palace at the moment. He can only adapt to local conditions and adapt to the situation when the battle comes. It is completely unnecessary to discuss it here.
Now there must be a top-level strategy to unify the will of the East Palace Army and the direction of the future war. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause chaos in the army, with different departments advancing and retreating at the same time, and with different strategies. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.
However, the current strategy is very helpless. Even with tens of thousands of cavalry under Fang Jun's command, it is still difficult to defeat the rebels. They can only stabilize the defense of Taiji Palace first, and then Fang Jun leads troops outside to gradually eat away at the Guanlong rebellion.
military.
After all, the cavalry under Fang Jun's command is more powerful, more elite, and more mobile. They can maximize their advantages in local battles. If they launch a surprise attack to encroach on the rebels, they can not only gradually weaken the rebels' strength, but also be more ruthless.
A severe blow to the morale of the rebels.
On the other side, the road from Chang'an to the Western Regions was kept open, and the Anxi Army and elite coalition forces of various ethnic groups were mobilized from the Western Regions to rush to the East Palace.
Wait until the Anxi Army arrives and wait for an opportunity for a decisive battle...
…
Li Chengqian sighed, his face filled with worry: "I just don't know what Qingque and Pheasant Nu are doing now..."
As soon as he said this, Li Jing fell silent.
After Changsun Wuji launched a mutiny, he wanted to depose the East Palace and establish a new crown prince. However, as the legitimate son of His Majesty Li Er, neither the King of Wei nor the King of Jin received support. Instead, King Qi Li You, who had a bad reputation and only supported His Majesty Li Er's concubine,
Although the inside story behind the rise to power has not yet been revealed, we know that it must be the King of Wei, and the King of Jin rejected Changsun Wuji.
Otherwise, given the status of King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Zhi of Jin, how could it be the turn of King Li You of Qi?
Not establishing a direct descendant or an elder, but instead establishing a bastard son, cannot appease the people of the world. It violates the law of ancestral succession, and is almost equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the world's noble families. How could Changsun Wuji make such a mistake?
But since Qi Wang Li You was supported to come to power, both Prince Li Chengqian, Wei Wang Li Tai, and Jin Wang Li Zhi must completely disappear, otherwise Qi Wang Li You will never be able to inherit the position of crown prince.
It is conceivable what kind of dangerous situation Wei King Li Tai and Jin King Li Zhi will face. They may even be killed by Changsun Wuji at this moment...
No matter how Li Tai secretly sabotaged and wanted to argue, or whether Li Zhi later relied on His Majesty Li Er's favor to develop evil intentions, Li Chengqian was always tolerant to his two younger brothers. He only blamed himself for not being able to live up to his father's expectations.
However, he did not bear any grudge against the King of Wei and the King of Jin for this reason.
In his heart, he values brotherhood very much.
Therefore, now facing the fact that King Wei and King Jin may have been poisoned, I feel extremely sad...
Li Jing was speechless. In the current situation, either you die or I die. There is no room for change. Not to mention the King of Wei, the King of Jin will be in danger if he falls into the hands of the rebels. Even the crown prince of the East Palace
Being coerced by the rebels, they could only let themselves be dealt with.
Otherwise, how can we maintain our honor and righteousness, and how can we explain to the soldiers who died in the sixth battle in the East Palace?
Seeing Li Jing's expression, Li Chengqian became more and more worried. His original intention was to have a dialogue with Guanlong and pay some price to ensure the safety of King Wei and King Jin. However, as the prince and the master of the East Palace, such
You must not make such a gesture at this time, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the morale of everyone in the East Palace, and the most convenient person to come forward is naturally Li Jing.
But Li Jing obviously refused...
Li Chengqian looked at Fang Jun again.
Fang Jun naturally understood what Li Chengqian meant, but after pondering for a while, he felt that even if he started a dialogue with Guan Long at this time, Guan Long would definitely not make any statement on the affairs of King Wei and King Jin.
After all, it is a serious crime to kill the prince as a minister, not to mention that Changsun Wuji is the king of Wei and the uncle of the King of Jin. How can Changsun Wuji bear the charge of disloyalty and unkindness? But as long as Changsun Wuji still wants to support him
If the King of Qi serves as the crown prince and controls the government, it will be impossible to release the King of Wei and the King of Jin.
He didn't dare to blatantly kill the king of Wei and the king of Jin, and he didn't dare to let them go. No matter what choice he made, it would be extremely unfavorable. How could Changsun Wuji agree to negotiate with the East Palace on this matter?
No matter how he treats the King of Wei or the King of Jin, he will only do it secretly and then refuse to admit it at all...
After pondering for a long time and considering it repeatedly, Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about the safety of King Wei and King Jin. Changsun Wuji has always been in the city with deep thoughts and far-reaching strategies. He always leaves room for things and is unwilling to risk his life. He will fight with all his strength."
.If he plots to kill the two Highnesses at this moment, he will have no way out, and he will definitely bear the eternal infamy of killing the king with his ministers, poisoning the tiger and eating his children. It will be difficult to wash away the water of the three rivers. With a person like Changsun Wuji, how can he be willing to fall into this trap?
What kind of situation? At least before the East Palace is completely destroyed, he will never attack the two highnesses."
Li Chengqian thought for a while and felt that Fang Jun's words may not be unreasonable.
At present, the entire city of Chang'an is under the control of Changsun Wuji. Even if the king of Wei or Jin loses a hair, it must be blamed on Changsun Wuji, regardless of whether he did it. Therefore, Changsun Wuji will not suddenly kill him at this time.
, but to wait until the overall situation has been decided and all forces have entered Chang'an before any accidents happen to the kings of Wei and Jin.
By that time, there will naturally be many ways to throw the blame away and put the blame on others...
Li Jing had no talent for such political speculations. When he heard Fang Jun's words, he suddenly felt that they made sense and echoed: "What Erlang said is true. Poisoning the King of Wei and the King of Jin at this time will cause too much trouble for the eldest grandson."
Wuji will definitely not want to do this, and if Guanlong is defeated in the end, Changsun Wuji will leave some room. Therefore, Changsun Wuji will only secretly commit murder after the victory is completely guaranteed, so His Highness can rest assured."
Li Chengqian nodded, let out a breath, and said: "This matter is the inner demon of Gu. If Qingque and Pheasant slaves are killed because of this military remonstrance, Gu will not be able to rest in peace even if he dies. Fortunately, Li You will not die in peace no matter what.
There will be danger, otherwise I will be in a dilemma."
Fang Jun was speechless. Are you still worried about Li You's safety at this time?
Li You stood up and expressed his willingness to fight for the throne, and he was already in opposition to Donggong. With you or without me, you will live and die. If Guanlong wins in the end, it is likely that Li You will attack the king of Wei and Jin, because Changsun Wuji wants to use
This was used to gain complete control over Li You; if Guanlong failed, Li You would have to bear the responsibility of conspiring to fight for the reserve. If His Majesty Li Er was still alive, he might be imprisoned for life as punishment, but if His Majesty Li Er had already
After his death, Li You had absolutely no chance of survival, because whoever offered to let Li You live would be suspected of colluding with Guanlong and being dissatisfied with the East Palace...
Li Chengqian put his worries aside and expected that the kings of Wei and Jin would be safe in a short time. He felt relaxed and ordered his servants to change the tea.
Fang Jun poured tea from the pot and asked, "The ministers are raiding the rebel troops outside the city. What instructions can your Highness and Duke Wei give?"
Li Chengqian picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "In terms of military affairs, Duke Wei is the best in the world, so why would I dare to do anything for my family? Just follow Duke Wei's command in everything."
This kind of magnanimity of "employing people without doubt" made Li Jing particularly impressed. He shook his head with a smile and said: "His Highness's words make this veteran ashamed... In fact, there is nothing to give instructions. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Tai Chi
It is inconvenient to communicate information between the palace and outside the city. If you ask for instructions on everything, it will delay the opportunity to fight. Although Erlang is young, he has made great achievements. He is not inferior to the veterans who founded the country in the court. The soldiers under his command are even more powerful in battle, and their orders are like mountains.
You can make your own decision based on the situation. In short, the current strategy is to stabilize the Taiji Palace and wait for opportunities to weaken the rebel forces. Your Highness can grant Erlang full authority to command the army without too much intervention."
Although his political talent is extremely poor, he has been wasted in his career for so many years, but he still knows how to unite party members and exclude dissidents.
Although the East Palace is united in the face of powerful enemies, it is actually divided into several different camps internally due to different interests and demands. Especially Xiao Yu and others are very wary of him commanding the Sixth Army in the East Palace. Is there something secretly there?
The constraints are unknown.
However, the combat power of Sakubo Jun's troops is not at all lower than Togiya Rokuru, or even exceeds it, and he has a very good personal relationship with him. The two of them have the same interests, so naturally they should show their goodwill in time and advance and retreat together.
As long as he and Fang Jun have the same opinion, the big guys like Xiao Yu can't make any trouble when the soldiers are in danger...
And this is actually another reason why Li Jing lurks in the mansion - whether in the officialdom or in the military, there are various factions with different interests, and intrigues are everywhere. He dreams of commanding an invincible army.
Opening up territories and making great achievements, but really feel helpless against the calculations of people...
