Chapter 1,567 Everyone is at peace with their destiny
[The national anthem at the Olympic Games is so cool to listen to!]
Li Ji continued: "Whether it is the Changsun family or the Yuwen family, they have been the first and second most important existences in Guanlong over the years. They have helped and integrated each other, and at the same time they have been afraid of each other and secretly undermined each other. It is obvious who is first at this moment.
Whoever faces Youtunwei will be attacked by Youtunwei with all his strength. Who among Changsun Jiaqing and Yu Wenlong is willing to withstand Youtunwei's fierce attack and create an opportunity for the other person to make a contribution?"
Cheng Yaojin had always been convinced by Li Ji. After hearing Li Ji's analysis, he thought deeply and said, "Don't you mean that this will give that boy Fang Er a chance to defeat each other?"
Li Ji picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, shook his head, and said slowly: "On the battlefield, unless the combat power of both sides is overwhelming, both sides will have various opportunities to win. But this is
This kind of opportunity is fleeting, and it is really difficult to grasp it accurately, and this is the difference between a general and a commander. Fang Jun is indeed good at leading troops, but the reason why he can win many battles depends on his ability to control the army.
The innovation of tactics, strategizing, and ability to win decisively on the battlefield are slightly insufficient. The stakes in this battle are very important. For Guan Long, it may be whether Changsun Wuji can control the peace talks, but for Donggong, once the battle is defeated, the Xuanwu Gate will not be saved.
Destruction is imminent. In this situation where victory is almost impossible and defeat is not allowed, Fang Jun dare not act hastily and can only seek stability. The best way is to ask Wei Gong for advice... However, this goes back to grasping the opportunity. Changsun
Wuji is cunning and cunning, and since he has made a mistake, he must quickly realize it and correct it. However, Fang Jun delayed the opportunity while asking Wei Gong for advice. In the end, it is he who can seize this fleeting opportunity, or Changsun Wuji.
Making up for it in time depends entirely on God’s will.”
Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang nodded repeatedly.
They are all veteran generals who have been on the battlefield for many years and are among the top generals in the world. Their analysis of battle situations may not be as clear as Li Ji's, but their military literacy is absolutely high.
On the battlefield, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people often fight against each other, and the situation changes rapidly. Because it is people who formulate strategies and implement them. People will make mistakes and have their own ideas and opinions, which will naturally lead to the entire strategy.
Changes occur because of one person's deviation.
A single move can affect the whole body. In a war of this scale, it can affect the final outcome.
That’s why there is a saying, “It’s up to people to plan things, and it’s up to God to make things happen.” No matter how amazing the talent is, no matter how exhaustive the plan is, no one can really control everything...
Cheng Yaojin thought about it and had a different opinion: "Fang Er is indeed a little inferior in terms of strategy, but he is extremely courageous and courageous. It only seems that he was originally ordered to recover Dingxiang, but he was keenly aware of the situation in Mobei."
situation, it can be seen that he resolutely went out of his way to fight. The conflict between Changsun Jiaqing and Yu Wenlong caused the established strategy to deviate and exposed a huge flaw. Fang Er was still able to see this, and naturally understood the opportunity.
The fleeting truth may not mean that you will not fight hard."
This is a judgment based on the understanding of Fang Jun's character.
In fact, Cheng Yaojin has always felt that Fang Jun is almost the same type of person as him. He is arrogant, domineering and unscrupulous in front of outsiders, using a reckless and impulsive appearance to cover himself. In fact, he is extremely calm in his heart, and often seems to be willful and willful.
Because, in fact, take action after making a decision.
That's right, this is how Duke Lu views himself...
Li Ji pondered for a while and nodded in agreement: "Maybe you are right. If you take it seriously, the rebels will definitely suffer a big loss this time."
He is indeed not optimistic about Fang Jun's ability in strategy. He is considered excellent, but it is by no means top-notch and will not be better than a wily and calculating person like Chang Sun Wuji. But there is one thing he cannot ignore, that is, Fang Jun's record is too great.
Too stunning.
Since becoming an official, he has faced powerful enemies one after another, such as Turkic Wolf Cavalry, Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun, the Great Cannibal...not to mention the foreign peoples of Silla, Japan, and Annan. As a result, he has won many battles without losing.
Even Li Jing, who was known as the "God of War", had to be inferior in this achievement. After all, as the nephew of the former Sui general Han Qinhu, Li Jing's starting point was far inferior to Fang Jun's. At the beginning of his career, he had to face all the heroes in the world.
The situation arises and there is nothing we can do.
However, Fang Jun's dazzling performance made Li Ji have to keep his expectations high.
Zhang Liang on the side saw that even Li Ji admired Fang Jun so much, and he felt very complicated. He didn't know whether it was joy, jealousy, or regret...
It can be said that the relationship between him and Fang Jun started from hatred and ended from benefit. They were entangled in love and hate and couldn't separate. They both wanted Fang Jun to quickly grow into a giant tree that could be relied on, but also secretly prayed that the boy would be able to help him.
I suffered a big loss, fell over and suffered a bloody head...
*****
Inside Chang'an City, Gwanghwamun Gate.
The outer city of Chang'an City is also called "Luocheng". The scope of the outer city is "Chang'an City" in the traditional sense. It surrounds the southeast and west sides of the imperial city and the siege city. It is longer in the east and west, slightly shorter in the north and south, and is rectangular. The outer city is in a rectangular shape.
There are three gates on each side of the city. The middle part of the north side is occupied by the palace city, so the three north gates are opened to the west of the palace city, namely Gwanghwamun Gate, Jingyao Gate and Honglin Gate.
To the north of the three gates is Jinyuan Fanglin Garden. The Yongan Canal, which enters the city from Anhua Gate in the south of the city and passes through the city, flows out from Jingyao Gate, flows through Fanglin Garden and then flows northward into the Wei River.
In the Forbidden Garden, on the bank of Yong'an Canal, 20,000 Youtun guards have crossed Yong'an Canal under the command of Gao Kan, and their troops are directed at the rebels who have arrived near Guanghua Gate. On the other side, Zanpo leads 10,000 Tubo Hu
The cavalry was ordered to leave the military camp near the Zhongwei Bridge and move all the way south, forming an intersection with Gao Kan's tribe and sandwiching the rebels in the middle.
The already slow-moving rebels immediately sensed the threat and stopped advancing, stationed outside Gwanghwamun.
Yu Wenlong rode his horse and stood in the middle of the army. His white eyebrows were tightly knitted under his hood. Listening to the scout's report, he looked up at the forested, dark and vast Royal Forbidden Garden in front of him, feeling very nervous.
It was his order to slow down the marching speed, in order to delay the step behind Changsun Jiaqing, so that Changsun Jiaqing could bear the main firepower of the Youtun guards, and he would take advantage of the gap to enter and see if he could approach Xuanwu Gate and break through Youtun.
Guard camp.
However, the current situation reported by the scouts is very different. Gao Kan's troops were originally stationed east of Yong'an Canal in a defensive posture, and the Tibetan Huqi at Zhongwei Bridge were only cruising in the due north direction. Their intention was to intimidate rather than actively attack.
Perhaps, everything indicates that Changsun Jiaqing on the east road is the primary target of Youtun Guard. Once the war starts, Changsun Jiaqing will definitely be targeted.
However, the situation of the war suddenly changed.
First, Gao Kan's tribe suddenly crossed the Yong'an Canal and formed a formation with their backs against the water, looking eager to try. Then the Tubo Hu cavalry from the north began to advance westward, and then detoured southward. At this moment, they were less than twenty miles away from the Yuwen family's army.
If he continues to advance, Yu Wenlong will enter Gao Kan's tribe and the two armies of Tubo and Hu cavalry, one on the left and one on the right. And because the south is the outer city of Chang'an City, the Tubo and Hu cavalry will directly cut off the retreat, which is equal to Yu Wenlong's head.
Plunging into the "urn" surrounded by two armies, the retreat was cut off, and the front and rear were attacked...
Now it is no longer a question of whether Yu Wenlong wants to advance slowly, but that he dare not stop, otherwise once the Right Guards abandon Changsun Jiaqing on the east road and instead attack his road with all his strength, the situation will be very bad.
Although our own strength is more than twice that of the enemy, the Youtun Guards are powerful and the Tubo Huqi are even more brave and skillful in fighting, which is enough to reverse the disadvantage in strength. Once caught in the encirclement of these two armies, the army under his command may be
More bad luck than good...
Yu Wenlong was cautious and did not dare to take a step forward.
However, just at this moment, Changsun Wuji’s order arrived...
"keep going?"
Yu Wenlong took a deep breath and held it in his chest. Angrily, he raised the paper with the intention of throwing it to the ground, but the generals on the left and right suddenly stopped him. Then he came to his senses, stopped and put the paper holding the military order into his arms.
He said to the captain who sent the order: "Zhao Guogong does not know what is happening on the front line and cannot estimate the dangers here. I cannot obey this order. Please inform Zhao Guogong immediately."
There is nothing wrong with the fact that you have to move forward even if you are facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, but you can't just bite the bullet and go for it when there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead of you, right?
The commander-in-chief looked calm, cupped his fists and raised his hands, saying: "General Yuwen, the general is not only the commander-in-chief, but also a member of the supervising team. He has the responsibility and the power to urge all generals in the army to abide by military orders and prohibitions. What the general faces
Zhao Guogong was fully aware of the dangers of the war. The reason why he issued this military order was to prevent the eastern and western armies from being afraid and unwilling to put pressure on the Youtun Guards, which would lead to the failure to achieve the goals set before the war. General Yuwen can rest assured, as long as he continues
If we press forward and keep in line with the army on the east route, the guards stationed on the right will inevitably focus on one thing and lose the other."
Yuwenlong's face was gloomy.
These words are a paraphrase of Changsun Wuji's words. On the surface they sound good, but in reality they mean just four words - everyone is at peace with his destiny.
