Li Jing did not want to fight such a war, but as a soldier, how could he be tired of fighting when the war came?
Then he pointed out with a sad expression: "The key point is here, after capturing or killing the King of Jin alive? What about the Youhou Wei? What about the reinforcements formed by the clans in Shandong and Jiangnan? As long as the King of Jin surrenders or fights
If they die, the rebels will vanish into thin air, but they have not disappeared, they have just stopped and are accumulating strength to wait for the next opportunity, and they will still form an army and bring trouble to the world."
Cheng Chubi suddenly realized this and looked at Tongguan on the map: "The commander-in-chief wants to allow the right marquis guard to retreat calmly and retreat to Tongguan to wait for reinforcements, and then wait until the rebel reinforcements arrive for the decisive battle and complete the victory in one battle!"
Li Jing walked back to the desk with his hands behind his back and sat down, and said slowly: "This is not what I think, but the overall situation. If the right Houwei is allowed to retreat to Tongguan and wait for reinforcements, this battle will inevitably involve a lot of blood, and blood will flow like a river.
The prince cannot issue such an order, we can only take the initiative as commander-in-chief."
What kind of general is a good general if he cannot take the blame?
This truth has been fully understood since the moment he refused to stand behind His Majesty Li Er during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
As a general, you should not only consider your own interests and reputation. Everyone wants to be a loyal minister, but no one is willing to pay the price of being a loyal minister. If he hadn't been worried about his reputation and refused to be the "second minister" of Emperor Gaozu, he turned around.
Under His Majesty's command, where did Li Ji and others later become famous?
After a pause, he continued: "...it is not necessarily a decisive battle, because the reinforcements composed of powerful clans from Shandong and Jiangnan may not be able to reach Tongguan smoothly."
Cheng Chubi was at a loss and felt frustrated. His thinking could not keep up with Li Jing's thinking...
"It's just a siege to call for reinforcements. It's a very simple strategy. You don't have to be frustrated. You have to walk step by step and learn things one by one. I was also following orders in front of my uncle's tent at the beginning, and it took many years of hard work to hone it.
, you young people all have lofty ideals, but you don’t know that leading troops to fight is the most important thing to avoid, and arrogance is the most important thing to avoid. Without experience, it is difficult to achieve great things, and you are still far behind."
Li Jing disagreed and patted Cheng Chubi on the shoulder to comfort him.
Cheng Chubi also understood what Li Jing said, but his generation had been dismissed as useless, so he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, so he said: "What about Fang Er? Fang Er is two years younger than the last general, but he has conquered all these years.
He was not defeated once in his campaign, and several countries were destroyed. Although his merits are not as good as those of the general, but they are no less generous than other Zhenguan ministers."
Among the younger generation, Fang Jun is already recognized as a leader. He has become famous at a young age, and the children of prominent families know that they will never be able to catch up in their lifetime. This brings countless jealousies to Fang Jun. But when the elders ridicule the younger generation for their incompetence, they can only lie in bed.
The merit books of their fathers show that they are enjoying life and waiting to die, and these young people will invariably bring out Fang Jun to show off and say: You and our generation are not good, how much more merit do you have than Fang Er?
In fact, the meritorious service of most of Zhenguan's ministers cannot be compared with Fang Jun's. When the elders teach their children, they are taught, and they naturally become angry and often beat them up...
Li Jing was naturally very unhappy, and said angrily: "Fang Er? He will give a shit!"
He returned to the table, grabbed the teacup, drank the warm tea in one gulp, and wiped his mouth. Seeing Cheng Chubi's dissatisfied look, he became even more angry: "Don't you be dissatisfied? How can that bastard have any formations?"
Talent? What he is good at is the strategic level. He can lead the development of military equipment and develop new weapons from a high position. Although he always wins the battle, every battle is filled with muskets, artillery, and thunder. Who is flesh and blood?
Can it be blocked? There are no subtle tactics at all!"
For someone like him who admires the art of war and strategy, watching Fang Jun fight is simply like eating peonies and has no sense of beauty. Every time I read those battles in history that used less to win more and surprise attacks, I will carefully review them in my mind.
I couldn't help but marvel at the subtleties, and when I thought about it later, my lips and teeth were filled with fragrance.
But what about Fang Jun’s case?
One word: Just fight hard and it's over!
It doesn’t have much technical content at all, it’s extremely rough…
Cheng Chubi still frowned: "It can be said that he wins every time?"
As his best friend, it is absolutely not allowed for someone to slander Fang Jun's achievements, even if this person is his coach...
Li Jing shook his head and said: "Fang Jun can use the power of firearms to crush the enemy's combat power. Naturally, it is not as simple as it seems. In fact, it can be called an epoch-making change. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, chariots ravaged the battlefield, and war horses were used.
The chariots pulled by them can easily break through the enemy's tight formations. King Wuling of Zhao and Hu Fu rode and fired, making the cavalry shine on the battlefield. Until the emergence of firearms that can destroy the world... Every change in the way of war has
It is enough to change an era, make the weak strong, and the strong always strong. How can this be done simply? Moreover, the development and manufacture of firearms, the design and finalization of tactics contain unfathomable command.
Fang Jun will definitely be remembered in the history books of wars throughout the ages. Of course, even if someone comes later and erects a monument to that guy, he still doesn’t know how to fight!"
In his life, he is most particular about the art of war and strategy. When you meet a freak like Fang Jun who doesn't know the art of war or how to fight, but he just creates and changes the mode of war, he can still be invincible. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to admit his combat power.
His strength is unparalleled in the world and cannot be defeated at all.
It is understandable that I feel depressed.
He ended the topic irritably, waved his hand and said: "Pass the order, Li Siwen from outside the city will immediately enter the city and arrive in the West City area to monitor Zuo Wuwei. If there is any change in him, he will report it immediately, and he is not allowed to make any arbitrary decisions. In addition, Qu Tuquan
The troops bypassed the imperial city and rushed to the front line of Zhuque Gate, to be on guard against the right Houwei's sudden attack to the south, threatening Taiping, Shanhe and other squares, while the rest of the troops remained stationary."
"Here!"
Cheng Chubi received the order and quickly turned around and went out to deliver the order. However, he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that he was going to monitor his father.
I don’t know what my father is thinking...
…
In the Wude Hall, everything has been prepared, and only when the time is auspicious, the "big burial" will be held.
In the side hall, Li Chengqian allowed the Crown Princess to direct the servants to put on the gorgeous clothes one by one. Although he did not wear the emperor's crown, today's "big funeral" was to confirm the identity of the new emperor and determine the names of the emperor and his ministers.
At that time, he was just waiting to officially ascend the throne and become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
So my face was tense and I felt anxious and nervous.
He was appointed as the crown prince at a young age and has been trained as a prince. He is surrounded by famous ministers and virtuous people, and is constantly flattered. He never thought that one day he would be deposed by his father. But since the tenth year of Zhenguan,
This trend of "waste storage" began to blow more and more fiercely, making him frightened and unable to sleep at night.
Without being there, no one can imagine how difficult it is to live in such precarious and frightened days.
Whenever he faced the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's worried eyes, Li Chengqian felt guilty and scared at the same time. Everyone knew that since ancient times, no one who deposed a Crown Prince had a good death, and even his wife, children, and children also ended up miserable. As a man, he could not protect him.
How helpless and frightened are my wives and children?
He almost went crazy, and even thought about expressing his dissatisfaction to his father in an extreme way of giving up on himself, breaking all the jars and breaking things...
Fortunately, I received support from Fang Jun during the most difficult and dark time.
Not only did Fang Jun spare no effort to support him as the prince, but also because Fang Jun openly supported him, which made many people's minds wander and their positions were not firm, so that people who were watching the trend were encouraged by him and began to side with the East Palace more and more.
Give him plenty of confidence.
This also made the father have to have a lot of scruples when promoting Yi Chu, so he could only do it slowly, giving the East Palace a chance to breathe.
This journey was full of hardships and obstacles, but luckily there were no surprises.
Sometimes he felt that he was unfilial and felt very guilty and self-blame, because although he was unbearably sad when his father died, he was not without a trace of happiness in his heart. If his father had not died violently, Yi Chu would almost certainly have died, even if Fang Jun and others
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't overcome his father's stubbornness.
Although as a human son, we cannot hope that our father will pass away, it is indeed a blessing that our father is dead...
Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian straightened his back. Infinite pride and ambition surged in his heart. The reason why his father wanted to depose him was not only because he preferred child slaves, but also because his father believed that the prince's character was too soft and he was indecisive and did not have the qualities of a wise king.
The prime minister believed that handing the empire over to his hands would make the country worse and worse, making it difficult to continue the prosperous Zhenguan era and compromising his father's great achievements.
But why can't someone with a softer personality fail to be an emperor?
Qin Shihuang was a fierce and talented man who single-handedly created the Qin Dynasty and swept through the six kingdoms. As a result, he was strict in government and law and died in his second generation. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was headstrong and reckless. He conquered Goguryeo three times and ended up with a shortage of treasury. The people were in dire straits. The huge empire collapsed and he himself was left alone.
The general was hanged and ended up...
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had unparalleled martial arts and drove away the Xiongnu to establish China's immortal achievements. However, he used military force throughout his life to exhaust the savings of the two generations of Wen and Jing. In his later years, he became even more stupid and violent, so that the imperial court collapsed and its foundation was destroyed. From then on, the Han Dynasty never regained its strength.
Glory, generation after generation lingers on, and the people are in dire straits.
To be an emperor, you only need to know people and do their jobs well, and have clear rewards and punishments. Why should you have great talents, great strategies, and mighty people?
"Your Highness, your clothes have been arranged and everyone outside has arrived. Da Zong and the Duke of Yue are asking you to go out and preside over the ceremony."
Wang De quickly walked in from outside the door and bowed to report.
Li Chengqian held up his crown, looked around at the crown prince, concubines, Gao Yang, Changle, Jinyang and other relatives, nodded slightly and said, "Let's go out together and see our father for the last time."
Crying suddenly broke out in the hall, and all the female relatives could not help but feel unbearable grief. They cried till their hearts were broken and their hearts were broken.
Li Chengqian felt sad and walked out of the side hall first.
After taking this step, he will soon become the king of the Tang Empire. From now on, his destiny will be firmly in his hands. He will no longer have to be bullied by others. He will worry about the precarious situation all day long...
