Chapter 1699 Arrogant Soldier
Su Dingfang leaned forward, listened for a long time, took a breath, widened his eyes and said: "Is this, this, this...a little too much?"
Fang Jun snorted and gritted his teeth: "Those guys actually charged me with robbing a civilian girl... It's simply unforgivable! Even if it's corruption, bribery, or dereliction of duty, robbing a civilian girl? We can't afford it. That person! With my character and appearance, why should I grab any girl she likes? She’s already been crying for me to be my concubine! These bastards look down on me, so I’ll let them know that they have to pay for their mistakes. ! ”
Su Dingfang sweats...
And you are so deliberately and frantically seeking revenge, not because those people framed you, but because you are dissatisfied with the crime framed against you?
But think about it, the crime of robbing women is indeed a bit pricey for people like Fang Jun...
Doesn’t sound good.
"How is the situation over there in Annan?" After chatting for a while, Fang Jun asked about Annan's situation.
Su Dingfang knew that Fang Jun cared about Annan more than Linyi. After all, Linyi had many indigenous people, and Annan had been the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin and Han Dynasties. The Han people had developed it for hundreds of years and were deeply rooted. Compared with Linyi, it was much richer and more prosperous. .
"Everything is stable. The remnants of the Wanchun Kingdom were attacked by cavalry under the Hengshan Mountain. Almost all the troops were wiped out. Only a few rebels escaped into the mountains. It is no longer possible. Li Wanshan has already surrendered to us and contributed a lot to the entire plan. Pei Changshi has decided to promote him to the rank of Navy Commander and lead his subordinates to serve the Navy. ”
Fang Jun nodded and said: "Pei Changshi is thoughtful and considerate, so it is very good. Li Wanshan has a deep foundation in Annan, so it is appropriate for him to serve in the navy, so as not to have just cut off the remnants of the Wanchun Kingdom and in turn raise a tiger."
At this moment, Annan has long been restored to its original state, and the remnants of the Wanchun Kingdom have disappeared under the suppression of the Tang army. Those people gathered forces under the banner of restoring the country, but unexpectedly everything was planned by Fang Jun, Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui and others. , instigated a rebellion against Li Wanshan, and encouraged the remnants to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. All the plans and actions were under the control of the Tang army. In the end, they were completely defeated. Not only did they fail to restore the country, but they destroyed the only legacy left by the Wanchun Kingdom.
Fang Jun stood up, turned to look at the large map of Annan hanging on the wall, and ordered: "We must speed up the construction of Hengshan Pass. This pass is located in Hengshan and is the key point between the north and the south. As long as the permanent and strong troops guard this place, Annan will not be able to conquer it." "In addition," he pointed to a place in the north of Da Nang and said, " This is the remnant of Changshan Mountain. A pass must be built on this mountain. With the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain and the view of the sea, let's name it Haiyung Pass... The navy should choose a brigade to be stationed all year round and defend Da Nang from a high position. The entire forest It doesn’t matter if you lose the city, but Da Nang... must not be lost!”
Su Dingfang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Here!"
He was based in Huating Town and controlled the Royal Navy. He was very aware of how important the existence of Da Nang was to the maritime trade routes of the Tang Dynasty.
The tidal wave of commercial interests alone cannot be lost...
After explaining these important things, Fang Jun said with a smile: "We will set off tomorrow, take care of yourself. I really want to follow you on the sea and break the waves with Yangfan!"
Su Dingfang said: "You don't have to envy us, Erlang. The Eastern Expedition is coming soon. You must be the commander of the waterway. By then, the army will be divided into waterways and march forward together. Goguryeo is just a mantis with its arms acting as a chariot and is vulnerable. I'm afraid you will be dizzy when the boat rides on." Su.”
The entire army of the Tang Dynasty was eagerly waiting, waiting for the army to march eastward, conquer Pyongyang City with overwhelming force, destroy Goguryeo, establish unparalleled achievements, make wives and children, and gain promotions and titles.
And the dark-faced young man in front of him made Su Dingfang even more emotional...
Fang Jun, who was only twenty years old, was already the Minister of the Ministry of War. With the vacancy of the official Minister of the Ministry of War, he held the power of the Ministry of War and acted like a loyal minister.
After the victory of the Eastern Expedition, rewards will be given based on merit. I don’t know what kind of appalling position this person will be promoted to...
Fang Jun frowned.
I can’t help but think of the repeated eastern expeditions to Goguryeo during the Sui and Tang dynasties, all of which came back disintegrated. In addition to the poor roads in the high forests of Goguryeo, which prevented the Tang army from taking full advantage of the Tang army’s large army operations, and insufficient supplies, the army’s mentality was also a Big problem.
Even mature and prudent generals like Su Dingfang did not take Goguryeo seriously, as they were too optimistic.
An arrogant soldier will be defeated...
*****
In the evening, Fang Jun had just returned home. After washing and about to have a meal, a servant came to report that King Li Tai of Wei had invited him and Princess Gaoyang to a banquet in Furong Garden. The carriage to pick him up had already arrived at the door.
Fang Jun asked Princess Gaoyang: "Are you feeling better?"
Princess Gaoyang has been in a depressed state for the past two days. Her body is so weak that she can't cheer up for anything. She has a poor appetite and has lost her appetite. She waved her delicate hands after hearing this and said sadly: "I won't go. I'm so sleepy. I really want to sleep."
Fang Jun didn't want to go either. What was there to talk about with that fat guy Li Si? However, thinking that he was His Highness the King of Wei after all, and that his song "The Charcoal Seller" had made this His Highness even more infamous, I always felt a little bit indebted, so I had to ask the maid to wait on him and change into a green straight dress, and wear him on his feet. The thousand-layer cloth shoes I "invented" are comfortable and fit, just like an ordinary scholar's dress.
After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he discovered that cloth shoes with soles had already existed. Fang Jun had an idea and came up with the style of thousand-layer soles, which became very popular...
After leaving the door, the charioteer of Prince Wei's palace had already been waiting beside the luxurious carriage. When he saw Fang Jun coming out, he quickly saluted. After Fang Jun boarded the carriage, he sat astride the shaft of the carriage, flicked his whip, and slowly Drive forward.
A group of generals, including Fang Jun, followed behind on horseback...
After leaving Chongrenfang, the carriage went south along the street, passing Qinglong Temple, and saw a large area of luxurious palaces and pavilions hidden among trees and gardens, located on the bank of Qujiang Pool.
Autumn is deep, the willows are already withered and yellow, the pines and cypresses are still evergreen, and the wax trees are red and yellow. Under the dim evening night, the scenery is beautiful.
The carriage drove along the stone road beside the pool, turned around a few times, and arrived in front of a tall building.
The building has three floors, with horns and cornices. It is decorated with lanterns in the dusk and is magnificent.
The steward of Prince Wei's Mansion was already waiting at the door. When he saw the carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Fang Jun get out of the car. However, Fang Jun waved his hand away and jumped out of the car himself.
The steward did not dare to be negligent. He bowed and said respectfully: "Welcome to the Secretary of the House. Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me this way."
As he spoke, he turned slightly sideways and staggered a few steps, leading Fang Jun into the building with a very respectful expression.
It would be unfair to be disrespectful. Even though everyone in the Wei Palace did not have a good impression of Fang Jun and was even hostile because he had repeatedly made their own prince disgraced, Fang Jun now had more than just the title of Prince Consort. Even if Fang Xuanling returned to his hometown after becoming an official. , the title of "Inspector and Military Affairs Minister" is enough to make prince-level figures treat each other with courtesy, let alone domestic slaves like them?
The first floor is luxuriously furnished, with splendid Persian carpets on the floor, precious golden nanmu furniture, windows on all sides, and bronze beast stoves in the four corners burning sandalwood and curling cigarettes, which is light and elegant.
Bursts of sound of playing silk and bamboo playing and singing came from the second floor...
The steward of Prince Wei's Mansion walked in front, using his right hand to lead Fang Jun up the stairs to the second floor.
As soon as I went upstairs, I felt a wave of heat mixed with fragrance hitting my face...
Candles as thick as arms were burning in the building, illuminating the spacious lobby that occupied the entire floor as bright as day. A rectangular carved lacquered wood table was placed in the center. At this moment, there were already more than a dozen men and women surrounding the table. sit.
Five beautiful and beautiful singers were sitting on one side against the wall, holding pipa, reed, harp, transverse flute and other musical instruments, and were playing a light and soft tune.
However, none of the nobles in fine attires here appreciated them, and they were just gathering together and chatting and laughing.
Fang Jun had just come upstairs when he heard someone say: "The prince just said that your family intends to betroth a daughter of the clan to Fang Jun as a concubine. Is this true?"
Fang Jun frowned and looked up, just in time to see Xiao Rui sitting next to King Wei Li Tai facing the stairs...
Just listen to Xiao Rui say: "Yes, my father has this intention."
Then someone sighed and said: "The women of the Xiao family of Lanling are all very beautiful. Even the nobles and nobles have a hard time finding a good wife. How can they be cheap? Alas, poor beautiful women of the Xiao family of Lanling. Fang Jun is really a waste of money!”
Fang Jun's eyes twitched, and he looked around and saw that the speaker was sighing and looking regretful. It was Chai Lingwu, that coward...
Mother!
If you don't fight for three days, you bastard will go to the house to reveal your tiles, right? How dare you speak ill of me behind my back, it’s unforgivable!
It's just that Xiao Rui said that he would choose a girl from the same clan to marry him as his concubine...how come he didn't know it?
Then an idea flashed in his mind, and he wailed, secretly thinking that he was betrayed by his father again, right? (End of chapter)
