The news of Zhang Shigui's blockade of Xuanwu Gate reached Youtunwei. The whole army was tense and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The generals, commanders, and soldiers all realized that the situation was not good, and they intensified the gathering of various troops. The whole army was ready to respond to the worst possible situation.
situation.
Even Princess Gaoyang, who had never cared about these military affairs, could not suppress her fear. She pulled Fang Jun and asked anxiously: "How could this happen? Could that old thief Zhang Shigui be bribed by Guan Long to kill the prince's brother?"
A way out?
For the Li Tang royal family, even if they are just a baby, they understand the importance of Xuanwu Gate to Taiji Palace and the inheritance of the throne. As an emperor, you must hold Xuanwu Gate tightly in your hands, otherwise you will not even dare to sleep at night.
Close your eyes...
Zhang Shigui was usually low-key and modest. He almost stayed at Xuanwu Gate all day without even returning home. He gave the royal family a very reliable trust. Who knew that he would make such a move at such a critical moment?
Even though Princess Gaoyang didn't understand military matters, she knew that once Zhang Shigui cut off the Xuanwu Gate and cut off the prince's retreat, and when the rebels broke through from the front and entered the Taiji Palace, the prince would be in trouble and would be unable to fly...
Fang Jun patted her hand, licked up a strand of hair from her temples and tucked it behind her crystal-clear ears, and said softly: "Don't worry, with your husband here, what kind of trouble can Zhang Shigui cause? It's just a mere Xuanwu Gate.
, a cup of tea can be razed to the ground... Moreover, Zhang Shigui will never stand on the side of the rebels to help the emperor do evil. He is your majesty's loyal minister and will only act in accordance with your majesty's will."
Princess Gaoyang's pretty face was slightly rosy. Although they were an old married couple, she was still embarrassed by such an intimate gesture in front of Princess Baling and Princess Jinyang. She knocked her husband's hand off angrily, and then blinked again.
With a confused look on his face: "You all said that my father has already... How can you give orders to Zhang Shigui?"
Fang Jun smiled and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty's talents and strategies are no less than those of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han. He has already kept the affairs of the world in his mind and knows everything about them. Is there anything that he cannot consider or arrange poorly?"
When he said this, Princess Gaoyang nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Lang is right. A hero like my father is so unrivaled, how could he not have any arrangements?"
Fang Jun smiled warmly, but secretly thought: There is indeed an arrangement, but it is a little different from what you thought...
But at this time, he naturally didn't want to expose a father in front of his two daughters and a younger sister. An elder brother cut off the prince's life for the so-called choice of a prince with a clear mind... It's a bit cruel, but he still waits for the truth to come out.
At this time, let them try to accept it.
Wei Ying came in from outside, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Erlang, just now Wang Fangyi sent news that the private armies of the noble families stationed in various places in Guanzhong have successively set off and gathered near Chang'an one by one, and the Yuwenlong tribe in the west of the city has begun to gather. It seems that
Take action."
Fang Jun's face remained unchanged, he stood up and saluted the three princesses: "The military situation is urgent. I will go to the Chinese army to discuss countermeasures. I will leave for now."
Princess Baling nodded, and Princess Jinyang's bright eyes brightened and she said with concern: "Brother-in-law, please be more careful."
Fang Jun responded with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, but don't worry, the rebels are just like a piece of grass and worth mentioning."
The originally tense atmosphere was slowly resolved under his sunny and warm smile. Princess Gao Yang warned: "Let's see what happened to Zhang Shigui. We must not let him harm the prince's brother."
Fang Jun nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
He turned around and strode away with his soldiers.
Princess Baling's face was full of worry: "This seclusion of the Longmen clan is really too much. Why not reach peace talks and end the war? If the war continues like this, the entire city of Chang'an will be reduced to rubble."
In her heart, she was extremely lucky to be in the Youtun Guards at this moment. Otherwise, if she had continued to stay in Chang'an City and rebels were everywhere, she would have been frightened. Naturally, she no longer worried about Fang Jun's evil plans against her. Once the rebels entered the princess's mansion,
She didn’t know what kind of disaster she would be ruined by this golden branch, but if it was like that, it would be easier for Fang Jun to accept it...
Immediately, he was startled by this sudden thought, and quickly suppressed it, but his cheeks could not help but turn a bit red.
Princess Gao Yang saw that she had a strange look on her face, but didn't think much about it. She just thought she was angry and sighed: "Who says it's not the case? Chang'an City, the capital of the world, after this military chaos, I don't know what year and month it was.
Only then can we restore the prosperity of the past. It would be better if my father was here, but now..."
When he said this, his face turned gloomy and he was about to cry.
Princess Baling and Princess Jinyang were also extremely sad and tried not to cry. Although it has not yet been confirmed that His Majesty Li Er has passed away, based on the analysis of various circumstances, this bad news is probably very high...
*****
In the Chinese military tent, when Fang Jun arrived, only Gao Kan and Cen Changqian were standing side by side on the side of the wall looking at the map.
"How's it going?"
Fang Jun stepped forward and stood behind the two of them and asked.
The two of them took a step to the side, saluted first, and then said: "All the private armies of the powerful families began to gather towards the Jinguang Gate. The 'Woye Town Private Soldiers' under Yu Wenlong also gathered urgently. It is obvious that the other party has something to do with our army.
Plot."
Fang Jun nodded, not too worried: "In your opinion, are the enemy's movements trying to contain us, or are they really trying to defeat us and threaten Xuanwu Gate?"
Gao Kan and Cen Changqian looked at each other and encouraged with their eyes. The latter took a breath and said: "Commander Mingjian, the Guanlong army has been defeated by our army continuously. Even when it was at its strongest, it also lost troops and generals in front of our army. Now,
How can we hope that a ragtag group of people can break through our defense line and attack Xuanwu Gate? Therefore, the general believes that this is just a containment strategy by Changsun Wuji, and uses these ragtag groups to entangle us so that he can free his hands and feet and attack Taiji Palace with all his strength."
After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, I would venture to guess that Changsun Wuji's move may not have the intention of 'seeking survival in death'. The British Duke Chen Bingtongguan is very likely to have His Majesty's last edict in his hands, and he will not enter Guanzhong from before."
The private armies of the powerful clans adopted the strategy of 'only allowed in, not allowed to leave'. It may be seen that there must be a purpose for the private armies of the powerful clans in the imperial edict. Over the years, His Majesty has tirelessly pursued the national policy of weakening the clans and clans. Through this mutiny, he ordered
It may not be impossible for the British public army to wipe out the private armies of these clans and completely cut off the foundation of the powerful clans."
Wow! Fang Jun was shocked now. He glanced at Cen Changqian up and down. This must be the style of a famous historical official, right?
Being unable to obtain more information due to his identity, he actually analyzed such a point of view, which is simply called a monster. On the contrary, Gao Kan on the side looked confused and had no idea what Cen Changqian was talking about...
Generals and handsome men not only have different talents, but also have different perspectives on problems.
Fang Jun patted Cen Changqian's shoulder approvingly and said with a smile: "Although there are big deviations in some places, it is already very insightful. Work hard and a bright future is waiting for you!"
Cen Changqian was flattered and said humbly: "I don't dare to praise the commander-in-chief. I'm just talking nonsense."
Gao Kan stroked his beard on his chin, feeling a bit disgusted...
Damn! This pretty boy has been in Youtunwei for a few days, and his performance is really good. The commander has repeatedly praised him and valued him very much. Is he here to compete with me for favor?
In the long run, our position in the commander's heart will not be guaranteed...
After returning to the desk, Fang Jun called the two of them to sit down and asked, "Where are Cheng Wuting and others now?"
Gao Kan said: "The general has sent people to inform us that within two hours at most, the armies that have gone to raid the clan's private armies will return to the camp."
He doesn't need to "compete for favor". If nothing else, just the word "stable" allows Fang Jun to rely on his help. He can be completely assured at any time and there will never be any unnecessary omissions.
Fang Jun nodded: "Well done."
After drinking some water, he said: "This time it is up to you to lead the army to the front line of Jingyaomen and set up a defense line to resist the enemy. At the same time, you will inform Zan Po to lead the Tubo Hu cavalry to obey your orders and assist from the side. There is no need to be greedy for credit, as long as it is steady.
Just hold the front line of Jingyaomen firmly to prevent the enemy from breaking through the Qingming Canal."
Gao Kan raised his chest and raised his head and said loudly: "Here!"
He was filled with pride in his heart. His importance in the Marshal's heart was indeed unmatched by others. Once faced with such a task that only allowed success and was not allowed to fail, the Marshal would always give it to him immediately. Some pretty boys would even think of jumping ahead.
Taking off his clothes made the commander-in-chief start to love talents, but how could he take his place?
