Fang Jun immediately ordered: "Instruct Wang Fangyi's troops to withdraw from Zhongxuanmen, arrive outside the West Taihe Gate of Longshouchi, join the soldiers and horses in the military camp, and march forward to the vicinity of the Forbidden Garden to the east of the East Neiyuan to intimidate Changsun Jiaqing's troops, if the rebels
If you start a war, don't be reluctant to fight. Immediately retreat to the Daming Palace and defend it on the spot. You must defend the Daming Palace without any loss!"
"Here!"
The captain under the tent took the order and immediately left the camp and went to Chongxuanmen to deliver the order.
Fang Jun continued: "Send an order to Zanpo's troops to pretend to retreat, and then go southwest to the Zhongweiqiao military camp and go around to the left wing of the Yuwenlong tribe; order Gaokan's tribe to cross the Yong'an Canal, and if the Yuwenlong tribe continues to advance, contact Zanpo at the same time.
The troops raided the enemy's rear formation, and the two armies attacked head-on."
"Here!"
Another captain picked up his command arrow and ran out.
As these military orders were issued, everyone knew that a war was about to break out. The entire military camp was boiling with excitement and morale was high!
It is said in the Art of War that "a arrogant army will be defeated". In fact, if an army has no pride at all, how can it win repeated battles? On the other hand, an invincible army that conquers the north and the west has already engraved pride on it.
Deep down, no matter how many enemies you face, you can still regard them as chickens and dogs, and firmly believe that you will win the battle!
Youtunwei is such an army. Under the leadership of Fang Jun, the troops went out to Baidao to overthrow Xue Yantuo, fought fiercely in Tuyuhun, and even went on an expedition to the Western Regions to defeat the 200,000-strong food army.
A victory filled everyone from the generals to the soldiers with the arrogance of "I am the best in the world".
Today, thousands of miles are being traveled to support Chang'an. In the face of the ragtag rebels, even though their number is several times our own, they are just being treated like "rubber chickens and dogs". I am confident that as long as I attack with all my strength, I will be able to clear out the traitors and protect the country.
Although all the battles were won, they were all small fights, which made people feel unreasonable and useless. The scale of this potential war is definitely not comparable to the previous ones, so naturally they are full of confidence and their morale is high.
For soldiers, only by fighting in battles can they achieve meritorious service and receive rewards...
Fang Jun sat in the tent, thinking about the various possible strategies of the rebels, constantly raising new possibilities, and then overturning them one by one based on the current situation and intelligence. After thinking about it, he really couldn't figure out why the rebels were advancing together.
But they all coincidentally slow down the process.
Aren't you afraid of attacking and letting go of the Right Guards and defeating them one by one?
Or is it that they have this kind of mentality between each other, using the casualties or even defeat of the allies on the other side in exchange for the unstoppable momentum and success on their own side?
There are serious differences within the rebels, which can be seen from their competition for the leadership of the peace talks. It is extremely normal if they are trying to consume each other...
After a while, Wei Ying, who went to the palace, returned and took back several letters from Li Jing.
Fang Jun quickly took it and opened it to see that Lord "Military God" had densely written several pages of letterhead...
Can you just tell me how to make a decision?
The letter reads: "The duty of a general is to be clear-minded and harmonious with the people, to plan deeply and foresight, to judge the weather, and to follow human principles. If you do not anticipate his abilities, fail to make contingency plans, and attack the enemy at the last opportunity, you will start to stumble.
, looking left and right, with nothing to come up with, trusting in what has been said, one after another, doubtful about advancing and retreating, and the troops are in a mess, how can it be different from the common people who go through fire and water, drive cattle and sheep and eat wolves and tigers? "
Fang Jun's mouth twitched, "Now that the battle is fierce and the fighting opportunities are fleeting, do you still have the time to teach me the art of war by teaching me the art of war?"
Continue reading: "... Therefore, when the two armies confront each other, the first thing to do is to 'check the general's talent'. Changsun Wuji is a man of far-reaching thought and resourcefulness. He can be a first-rate politician, but he is not an amazingly talented commander.
.He is greedy and profit-loving, knowledgeable but cowardly, strong and self-reliant, cowardly and suspicious, how can he formulate a flawless strategy? Therefore, the battle situation in front of you is mostly due to coincidental timing, rather than his wise and decisive decision. Even Guanlong
The internal conflicts of interests are complicated, and Changsun Wuji's orders may not necessarily be enforced. Changsun Jiaqing and Yu Wenlong are both selfish people. It is inevitable to take advantage of each other and hide their scheming."
Duke Wei's views are the same as mine. He believes that the two rebel armies each have their own agenda. They both hope that the other side can withstand the main firepower of the Youtun Guards and that they can take advantage of the situation.
As long as there is no tacit understanding and slowing down to plan some conspiracy, then there will be no omissions in the decision made just now.
Not only was Fang Jun a little proud, but Li Jing was a famous military master in history. In terms of pure strategic ability, he could definitely be ranked among the top three among the famous commanders in ancient times. He made the same decision as Li Jing, "Heroes think alike."
, it can be seen that he is also a person with extraordinary talents in the military...
With this, he naturally felt confident, put the letter away, and returned to the map, carefully checking the situation of the enemy and ourselves, the deployment of troops, and thinking about whether there was any need to adjust. At the beginning, Gao Kan and Zan Po had nearly 30,000 troops.
, whether it's offense or defense, there shouldn't be any problem against Yu Wenlong. The two of them, Gao Kan, are steady and good at defense, while Zan Po is as aggressive as fire. They can just make up for each other, and there is no flaw between offense and defense.
Wang Fangyi is still worrying.
The eldest son, Jiaqing, had suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Youtun Guards several times. He had long been holding back his anger and vowed to avenge his previous humiliation. Moreover, if he really wanted to use Yu Wenlong to attract the main firepower of the Youtun Guards, he would take advantage of the opportunity.
With his intrusive thoughts, he will go all out to attack the Daming Palace, and Wang Fangyi may not be able to stop him.
Once the Daming Palace falls and the rebels occupy the advantageous position of Longshou, they can swoop into the Youtunwei barracks at any time and even directly threaten Xuanwumen. The situation will be extremely unfavorable.
After thinking for a moment, he called Wei Ying to his side and ordered: "Take your personal guards and rush to the Dahe Gate of the Daming Palace to help Wang Fangyi hold the position. If the rebels are too powerful, turn back to the Chinese army immediately, and I will send reinforcements.
Support, but don’t ask for help unless necessary.”
The Yuwen Long tribe has at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops. It is very difficult to defeat them with the strength of Gao Kan and Zan Po. It is not possible to send troops to support them. The number of troops left in the camp is less than 20,000, which is difficult to ensure.
The safety of Xuanwu Gate.
Unless Changsun Jiaqing's troops break through the East Neiyuan and enter the Daming Palace along the Yamato Gate line, it is impossible to send troops to support.
Wei Ying understood the truth. Only by blocking Changsun Jiaqing's troops to the south of Daming Palace, Gao Kan and Zan Po's armies could free their hands and defeat Yu Wenlong. Otherwise, they would have to shrink the whole army and trap the camp, missing this opportunity.
An opportunity to severely weaken the rebels.
"Don't worry, Commander, I'll go right away!"
Wei Ying has followed Fang Jun for many years. He is well-informed and has good qualifications. He quickly understood the key to the current situation and immediately led a group of soldiers to ride to the Yamato Gate and join forces led by Wang Fangyi to guard it.
Here, we must block Changsun Jiaqing's troops and give Gao Kan and Zan Po on the western front a chance to defeat Yu Wenlong.
The entire army of Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army and the Tubo Huqi, a total of nearly 50,000 people, all launched into action. Facing the sudden and powerful offensive of the rebels, not only did they not feel frightened and nervous, but they were filled with high morale and murderous intent, vowing to
We must completely crush the rebels and make great achievements!

Yanshoufang.
Half a mile of the square was brightly lit, with countless generals, soldiers, and civilian officials and scribes busily shuttled around, summarizing military information from various places to Changsun Wuji's desk.
Changsun Wuji dragged his injured leg, enduring the pain and fatigue, and dealt with military affairs one by one. There was a pot of strong tea on the desk. From time to time, he would ask the servant to refill the boiling water and take a sip to refresh himself. Old age is not good enough.
, I remember that when he was under His Majesty Li Er, he worked hard and strategized for the throne of the country. Even if he didn't sleep for several days in a row, he was full of energy and energy. However, now, even if he loses half an hour of sleep a day, he feels tired and lacks energy.
Time is not forgiving...
After taking a sip of strong tea, I took the hot towel handed by the servant and wiped my face. I put the towel on my eyes for a while and felt clearer. Then I handed the towel to the servant, let out a long breath, and leaned over.
The desk continues to deal with military affairs.
"Um?"
Changsun Wuji, who had just finished reading a memorial, frowned and subconsciously read the memorial again. After thinking about it, he put the memorial at hand and turned over the thick stack of completed memorials on the side.
I turned it over and found a memorial, opened it and read it again.
Then, he used his memory to find out some reports one after another, gathered them together, and compared them one by one, his face looked a little ugly.
The last report had just arrived here. Changsun Jiaqing's troops arrived at the outskirts of Longshouyuan. The main force had not yet entered the Forbidden Garden on the east side of the Daming Palace. It was still several miles away from the East Inner Garden. The previous report was from Yu Wenlong.
The troops were sent by the troops, who were bypassing the northwest corner of Chang'an City, five miles away from Guanghua Gate.
Then if you look at the previous report, you will find that within an hour, Yuwen Longbu walked less than five miles, and Changsun Jiaqing walked three miles. It can almost be described as "standing still"...
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows, feeling tired for a while.
How could he not know why this situation happened?
