Chapter 2011 Trap


Chapter 2011 Trap

Speaking of the Guanlong nobles, we have to mention the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Gui made his capital Pingcheng and proclaimed himself emperor. At that time, on the grasslands north of Yinshan Mountain, there was a powerful nomadic tribe, Rouran. When the Northern Wei army went south to fight, Rouran's cavalry often invaded the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, threatening the safety of Pingcheng. "Emperor Daowu focused on relocation and defense, prospering Jian's relatives and virtuous people, and supported them as towns." The border towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to take shape around the time of Emperor Daowu. At that time, they were collectively called "Northern Towns", and some towns did not have a fixed administrative center.

When Emperor Taiwu of Wei, the grandson of Emperor Daowu, Tuoba Tao, was on the throne, he mobilized 100,000 people from the five states of Liang, Si, You, Ding, and Ji to build large-scale border defense projects from Shanggu in the east to the Hequ area of ​​present-day Shanxi in the west.

The status of "Six Towns" was thus established.

From west to east are Woye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan and Huaihuang to defend against the intrusion from the north and to protect Pingcheng. Each of the "six towns" has a town capital general and his staff, a garrison under the town, and a patrol of town soldiers to defend the garrison. The generals of the six towns are all served by Xianbei nobles and Liangzhou warriors. The garrison soldiers are mainly Xianbei people, and there are also "disciples of strong clans" from the Central Plains.

The "Six Towns" military group was the prototype of the Guanlong nobles.

Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty split into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. Instead of becoming lonely and desolate, the "Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty" took advantage of the situation and launched an uprising, stealing the supreme power and turning the emperor into a puppet. Then the famous "Twelve Generals of the Eight Pillar Kingdom" emerged. ”, in one fell swoop, the Guanlong nobility had been glorious for hundreds of years, and single-handedly created the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang dynasties!

Shuozhou, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Shengzhou were originally the birthplaces of the Guanlong nobles and their private areas...

*****

In the early Tang Dynasty, military merit was the most important.

Fang Jun didn't think that his "airborne landing" in Shuozhou would arouse resentment or even confrontation among the local garrison. After all, the Tang army was so confident that no one regarded Xue Yantuo's troops as a threat. On the contrary, they regarded it as a simple incident. Great achievement.

Now that a guy is appointed as the head coach, wouldn't it mean that most of the general's merits are taken away from him?

What's more, Shuozhou is the private territory of the Guanlong nobles. The entire army is full of children and in-laws of the Guanlong nobles, so there is naturally resistance to Fang Jun.

It's just that Fang Jun didn't expect that he would be slapped head-on as soon as he arrived at Yanmen Pass...

He was not even allowed to enter Shuozhou City?

It’s really arrogant...

Fang Jun said to Gao Kan: "Bring me my commander's temper!"

"No!"

Gao Kan quickly walked towards the Chinese army, took the jieyan from a captain, turned back and handed it to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun raised the Jieyan and said, "This is a gift from Your Majesty. It patrols the hunt on behalf of heaven, as if I were here in person!"

"Hoola!"

After Yanmen Pass, all the soldiers who closed the gate knelt on one knee and shouted: "See your Majesty!"

Fang Jun asked: "How? Do you still dare not to let me go to Shuozhou?"

The captain knelt on the ground, not daring to get up, and said bravely: "The commander-in-chief is doing things according to orders, how dare you stop him? It's just that my general has military orders here. Shuozhou City is small, and no one can be stationed for more than two people." The army of Wei, now that General Xue has led the Youwu Guards, can only allow the Youtun Guards to be stationed at Yanmen Pass for the time being. "

"Mother!"

Fang Jun was angry. He stepped forward and kicked the captain to the ground. He cursed angrily: "Are you so brave after eating a leopard? Xue Yantuo's two hundred thousand troops marched under Dingxiang City. The war was about to break out. Shuozhou City was surrounded by soldiers. The army and the Youwu Guards only have 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses. What can we do to resist it? If Shuozhou City is lost, not only you, but also your General Yuwen will be killed and his family will be sent to the army!"

The captain got up from the ground and saw that Fang Jun's hand was already on the handle of the sword at his waist. He was so frightened that he was sweating. However, he still disobeyed the military order and had to turn over and kneel on one knee, saying in a trembling voice: "The general has an order, how can the last general dare to disobey it even if it means death? Not only the last general does not dare, but no one in the garrison at Yanmen Gate dares to disobey the order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the garrison behind the gate had their swords unsheathed and arrows cocked, and they lined up with murderous intent!

How can the guards of Youtun show weakness? More than a thousand people quickly jumped off their horses and used their horses as cover. They drew their weapons and cocked their crossbows. Fang Jun's soldiers flew forward and surrounded Fang Jun. Xue Rengui, who was standing behind Fang Jun, stepped forward. , took two steps in front of the captain, the sword in his hand was already unsheathed, and it was across the captain's throat.

With the gates closed and the gates closed, the two armies are facing each other, and the battle is about to break out!

Fang Jun, who was under guard by his own soldiers, looked at the captain with cold eyes and asked one by one: "Are you really not going to let me out of seclusion?"

Xue Rengui's horizontal knife was placed on his throat. The captain swallowed and moved his throat. He felt as if the sharp blade had cut his skin. His face was pale, but he still persisted: "I dare not disobey military orders! ”

Xue Rengui said angrily: "Commander, after I kill this man with one knife, will these Yanmen Pass defenders really dare to fight against Youtun Guards?"

The captain trembled all over and trembled twice, but in the end he did not dare to say anything to beg for mercy.

Although the Fang Jun in front of him was like a wolf and a tiger, the border troops north of Yanmen Pass were simply the private army of the Guanlong Group. If he offended Fang Jun, he might not be spared his death, but if he disobeyed Yu Wenfa's military order... the whole family would suffer. ……

Fang Jun stretched out his hand and stopped Xue Rengui.

Looking up at the Yanmen Pass defenders who were waiting in formation in the heavy snow, Fang Jun sneered and said: "No, the order they accepted must be that once the Youtun Guards try to break through the pass, they will be killed on the spot!"< br>


Xue Rengui changed his expression and said, "Do you want to rebel?"

It is His Majesty's will to send Youtun Guard north to Shuozhou. Who in the world dares to disobey the Emperor's order?

Fang Jun sighed, glanced sarcastically at the captain under Xue Rengui's sword, and said disdainfully: "What kind of rebellion? They rebelled against the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty. Do they want to rebel against the Tang Dynasty now? Bah. ! A group of people who think they are bringing disaster to the country and the people. Silverfish! Even if you lend them two courages, they don't dare to rebel! Do you think a bunch of stupid people can win by sacrificing a Yu Wenfa company and a low-ranking captain?"

Obviously, the Guanlong nobles believed that defeating Xue Yantuo was just a matter of a few seconds. How could Fang Jun take away the biggest fruit of this feat that fell from the sky? However, Fang Jun's life is on his side, and as long as he doesn't want to rebel, no one in the world can stop him.

As a result, the captain in front of him became a scapegoat...

At this moment, if the Youtun guards want to leave the customs and go to Shuozhou, they must break through the defenders' obstruction, and a battle is inevitable. Regardless of victory or defeat, it must be a major political event for one's own family to use knives or guns against one's own family, not to mention when Xue Yantuo was marching on the border?

Naturally, the captain could not escape the blame for his crime, but how could Fang Jun get away with it?

As the commander-in-chief of an army, with the tiger talisman given by the emperor, he was unable to do anything to defeat a mere guarding captain, and finally had to fight against each other...

Why do such incompetent people go to Shuozhou to take charge of the overall situation?

Naturally, a school captain cannot calm down the situation. Shuozhou's general Yu Wenfa will definitely be implicated. However, at the same time, Fang Jun's prestige is completely lost. What will follow will inevitably be the imperial court's dismissal of his post, his return to Chang'an to accept the punishment, and the reappointment of generals. Instead...

Sacrificing a school captain and Yu Wenfa, but still holding on to the feat of defeating Xue Yantuo, the Guanlong nobles had indeed made a good calculation.

Now that he has seen through the trap of the Guanlong nobles, how can Fang Jun get in head first?

He waved his hands and ordered: "Everyone, stand down! What are you doing? Pointing your swords at your own robes, do you want to make those barbarians outside the pass laugh out loud? Others are shameless, have no kings and no fathers. That's because they lack education. It's them. If we don’t know loyalty, how can we, as the emperor’s imperial guards, be like these rats who only know how to fight with each other? "

"No!"

The soldiers of Youtun Guard all responded to the promise, retracted their weapons and took a step back.

Xue Rengui also retracted the horizontal sword and stared at the captain with cold eyes, a look of disdain.

He is a military commander, but his knowledge is far beyond ordinary people. When Fang Jun said these words, he immediately understood the reason. What the hell is this? In the face of a powerful enemy, we don’t think about how to kill the enemy to protect our country and the people, but we resort to such despicable means in order to attack...

"Bah!"

Xue Rengui spat fiercely on the snow in front of the captain.

The captain's face was red, and he was ashamed and angry.

He raised his hand and said loudly: "Put down all your weapons. No mistakes will be made without receiving military orders!"

All the defenders in the pass lowered their weapons, and the tense atmosphere was immediately resolved.

He was relieved in his heart. If he had a choice, why would he want to conflict with Fang Jun? Once the two armies fight, no matter what the outcome is, the consequences will be enough to crush him, a little captain, into a powder... It is naturally best for Fang Jun to see clearly the trap. Smart people will always know the trade-offs, rather than just blindly Fang Jun went on a rampage, and in the end Fang Jun himself was hit with a bloody head, and small people like him suffered as well...(End of Chapter)
