During this battle, the Youtun Guards were full of energy and had no fear of life or death. Every soldier was determined to die, and the lieutenant general took the lead and refused to retreat. If defeated, the Youtun Guards would not be completely wiped out, but
From then on, the soldiers were injured and unable to recover, and the morale and morale of the army collapsed. But since they won, their morale was naturally boosted, their morale was as high as a mountain, and countless meritorious deeds were waiting to be shared.
However, the task assigned to him by Fang Jun before the war was to "sit in the center and support from the left and right." At first glance, it seemed that he was entrusted with an important task. He would go to support wherever there was trouble. He was regarded as the last gate.
, and tightly tied the defense line of the right guard.
But in fact, Gao Kan's tribe decisively crossed Yong'an Canal, abandoned the tactics formulated before the war, launched a head-on attack on Yuwen Long's tribe, and defeated them in one fell swoop, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!
Why do you need Cheng Wuting’s support?
The situation over the Yamato Gate is full of dangers. A mere 5,000 defenders are guarding the city gate. They have to face a crazy attack from 60,000 to 70,000 Guanlong troops. If they are not careful, the city gate will fall and the entire army will be wiped out.
As a result, Wang Fangyi and Liu Shenli, two bastards, not only guarded the city gate, but also hid their armor and cavalry without using them. They suddenly rushed out at the critical moment and killed the rebels...
Although in the end it was Cheng Wuting who led the reinforcements to the Yamato Gate to support Wang Fang's wing in defeating Changsun Jiaqing, Liu Shenli led the armored cavalry to charge into the battle, sending tens of thousands of troops into a wolf rush, throwing away their helmets and armor, and even more so in the chaos.
The lieutenant general captured the enemy's general alive...compared to this, how could he, Cheng Wuting, have the slightest sense of existence?
Everyone in the army has achieved countless meritorious deeds, but none of them have his share in Cheng Wuting. As a result, he is responsible for the aftermath and paying for the fallen soldiers, and he is strictly ordered not to commit any corruption. How many people are he going to offend?
Fang Jun thought about it and felt that this guy was wronged.
Together with Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui and others, they can be regarded as his first team. It was these people who helped him establish his status and prestige in the military. At the same time, he himself was also growing. In the end, Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui were all on their own, and only Cheng Wuting remained.
In Chang'an.
The main reason is that Changsun Wuji wanted to blame Fang Jun for his son's death and sent Cheng Wuting to prison and tortured him to extract a confession. As a result, Cheng Wuting would rather die than betray Fang Jun. He was beaten with bruises all over his body and his internal organs were damaged, so he had to live forever.
Yu Changan recuperated from his injuries and missed the opportunity for promotion.
This is the case in the officialdom. Sometimes, if you fall behind, you will fall step by step. No matter how hard you try to catch up, it will be useless. Even with Fang Jun taking care of you, Cheng Wuting can only stay in Youtunwei.
After all, this is one of his most loyal team members. As a commander, he can't help but feel guilty, so he said: "The military order is like a mountain, how can I allow you to make strong excuses and shirk it wantonly? This must be done. If done well, the entire army will be reorganized.
, then you will rule it."
"Ah! The only person in this humble position who respects the commander-in-chief's military orders is that he will go through fire and water and die without hesitation!"
Cheng Wuting was overjoyed and hurriedly left the table, knelt down on one knee to perform military salutes, and took over the two errands.
Next to me, Gao Kan, Wang Fangyi and others were all excited.
Since the Guanlong uprising, Youtunwei has experienced many battles and battles one after another. Although the Guanlong rebels have been daunted by their outstanding achievements and their expressions have turned pale, their own losses have also been extremely serious, and the attrition of various departments in the army has been severe.
Although there are differences, some reorganization is bound to be carried out after the war to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.
How to reorganize and merge the various ministries, how to promote, appoint and remove generals, are all within their duties and responsibilities. Those who are not the commander-in-chief's confidants cannot be appointed. Once they hold the position, they will become the real power in the army...
Fang Jun nodded and warned: "For the reorganization, please make a plan for the time being. It won't be implemented in the near future. Although Guan Long is defeated, he will not give up after all. We must always be on guard against his counterattack, and we must not make the current soldiers fight hard."
The advantages are ruined.”
Peace talks are one thing, but the battlefield is another. We must not disarm the rebels and force them to start peace talks again just because they have defeated the rebels, thinking that the overall situation has been decided. The army must remain focused at all times and must not lose the slightest bit.
Be lazy, otherwise you will be ruined at every turn.
"Here!"
All the generals and commanders stood up, bowed their heads, and respectfully accepted their orders.
In fact, there is no need for Fang Jun’s advice. Everyone also knows that the current situation is critical. They are about to turn defeat into victory in front of the East Palace. They, the lieutenants and generals of the army, will all be rewarded according to their merits. It is not a problem to make wives and children. If they are betrayed because of their carelessness,
The army successfully counterattacked, causing the situation to collapse and thus losing the meritorious service that was almost achieved. Instead of punishing Fang Jun, he might as well go home and sharpen the knife on his neck...
*****
In the evening, the light rain stopped for a while, but then it started to rain again after nightfall, and the air was moist and cold.
In Zongzheng Temple, a side hall was brightly lit, and several high-ranking members of the Li Tang family gathered here...
Although the rebels now completely occupy the city of Chang'an, their title is still "Depose the Crown Prince and Bring Order to Chaos" and believe that the Crown Prince is "unworthy of his virtue", rather than starting a rebellion and changing the dynasty, so they have no name to oppose the clan and ministers.
Movement is restricted.
Of course, tens of thousands of Guanlong troops are now gathered in Chang'an City, and the buildings everywhere are in vain, especially after nightfall, soldiers are rampant and military discipline is lax. Anyone who accidentally collides with the army and is killed will have no choice but to feel unlucky...
…
Therefore, there is no restriction on the gathering of clan members in Zongzheng Temple. However, only the devil knows how many sentries and scouts from the Longmen clan are surrounding Zongzheng Temple at this moment...
There were no tables and chairs in the side hall, but mats on the floor, where everyone sat on their knees, with tea and snacks placed on the table in front of them.
Li Boyi, the king of Longxi, was in his thirties, with a blue complexion and dark eyes. His extremely decadent mental state made his originally handsome face swollen and blue. At this moment, he impatiently shouted: "The King of Han summoned us late at night, and we don't know where to go."
What's the matter? If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. After saying that, I've got a new concubine today, and I'm about to have a wedding ceremony. Don't miss the right time."
King Li Yuanjia of Han glanced at it with disgust, knocked on the table in front of him, and said: "Be patient!"
Looking around at everyone, he was about to speak when he suddenly heard Li Fengci, the King of Bohai next to Li Boyi, asking: "I heard that everything in Prince Jing's mansion was burned to the ground?"
Li Yuanjing choked and said angrily: "That's true, but this is not today's topic, so there is no need to mention it."
"Hey!"
Li Fengci had fleshless cheeks and big, lifeless eyes. Hearing this, he said displeasedly: "I don't care what your purpose is for calling everyone here today. As long as it's not to seize my title or take my head off, I'll leave the rest to you."
No objections to all of them. However, the evidence of King Jing’s rebellion is conclusive. He will undoubtedly die if he comes to think of it. It is no luck to him, and his entire family members are all dead. Doesn’t this mean that he will have no heirs?"
Li Yuanjing was very angry at this generous guy and said dissatisfied: "What on earth is King Bohai going to say?"
This Li Fengci is a biological brother of Li Boyi. His father, King of Shu Li Zhan, is the second son of Tang Guogong Li Zhen, the general of Zhuguo in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the brother of Emperor Gaozu. However, he died very early, and the title of "King of Shu" came after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
After being granted the title, Li Boyi, the King of Longxi, and Li Fengci, the King of Bohai, were raised by Emperor Gaozu since childhood, which made them have extraordinary status. Although Li Yuanjia hated them as people, he still wanted to save some face.
Li Fengci sat up straight, eyes widened, and said: "King Jing's sons are all dead! Although his crimes were extremely heinous and his death was not a pity, after all, he was of the blood of Emperor Gaozu. How could he sit back and watch his heirs die? My second son Changsha
, who is young, smart and well-behaved, can succeed King Jing to inherit his descendants and continue his bloodline, so that he can still enjoy the incense and blood food of future generations a hundred years later. This is our responsibility! Although I can't bear the pain of being separated from my flesh and blood, I still think of it.
The bloodline of Emperor Gaozu can only bear the pain and give up love, taking into account the overall situation... Everyone, who is in favor and who is against?"
When he said this last sentence, the king's eyes were like copper bells, and the fierce light was bound to appear. He tried his best to look clinging, menacing and murderous, and he would immediately fight to the death of anyone who dared to speak out against him.
All the clan leaders were speechless. At this time, what was this guy thinking about?
Not to mention who is in favor of this matter and who is against it, the key point is that King Jing is not dead yet, and your uncle and brother have begun to give him an adopted son and inherit his title...
The corners of Li Yuanjia's eyes twitched, and he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "I will mention this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince later, and we will discuss it later."
"no!"
Li Fengci jumped three feet high and shouted angrily: "This is a matter for the royal family, what does it have to do with the crown prince? What's more, now that the rebels are strong, maybe one day the entire East Palace will be destroyed! Then!
The prince can't protect himself, so he can still take care of our men's affairs?"
As soon as these treacherous words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked thoughtfully at Li Fengci who was jumping up and down...
Although this guy is generous and arrogant and lawless, he is not a brainless fool. Since he dares to say these words here, he must have something to rely on.
