Chapter 2122 Comprehension before the formation
This is a test from Tumidu.
It was definitely not to test whether Fang Jun had the temperament of a general or the qualifications to be a famous commander. Those things had nothing to do with Tumidu.
He wanted to see Tang Jun's true strength from Fang Jun's reaction...
Although the Tang army easily won the battles in Monan and Mobei, and Xue Yantuo's army was vulnerable, after arriving here, the Tang army was already thousands of miles away from the mainland. Does it still have the ability to fight continuously? This can be seen from Fang Jun's reaction.
If the Tang army is already at the end of its war effort, it is absolutely impossible to let him go back and let the tiger return to the mountain.
On the contrary, it shows that Fang Jun has sufficient confidence in his army. Even if he rushes thousands of miles alone, he is still confident that he can steadily push back some enemies!
Tu Midu is cunning and selfish, and is absolutely unwilling to test the strength of the Tang army with the lives of his own people...
After saying that, he stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes, not missing the slightest expression fluctuation on Fang Jun's face.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun didn't seem to notice his temptation at all, and said carelessly: "That's great! If the chief unites with me internally and externally, Bazhuo will be crowned on the battlefield, and the battle will be successful! In this case, I leave it to the chief!"
< br>
Tu Midu hurriedly said: "I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief!"
A heart sank.
He didn't think that Fang Jun knew anything about the temptation. He just had full confidence in the Tang Army's combat effectiveness and was so hesitant.
In this way, Huihe would be better off obediently cooperating with the Tang army in the future. There must be no evil thoughts at all, otherwise it will easily lead to disaster.
You can't do stupid things like using your own power to test the strength of the Tang army and asking for trouble...
When everyone went back to prepare, Xue Wanche and Xue Rengui stayed behind. The latter asked: "Commander, Tu Midu, this person has wandering eyes, is cold and treacherous, let him go back tonight, for fear of something happening."
< br>
Fang Jun said unconcernedly: "It doesn't matter, the only thing I worry about is to remove Zhuo. Although Uighur is strong, but its people are cunning and selfish. They have no long-term plans and no ambitions. Even if they turn their backs and rebel, it will not be a big problem. Xue Yantuo went there. Like a big mountain, The pressure is firmly on Uihe. If Uihe wants to revitalize, he will definitely overthrow the mountain of Xueyantuo, so he hopes that Bazhuo will die more than we do. You know, Yinan Khan is still alive, and those of the Xueyantuo tribe have surrendered. To his handsome man, Chief, how can you loyally rely on Tumo Zhi? If Xue Yantuo falls into the hands of Tumo Zhi, his strength will inevitably be reduced due to fierce internal struggles, and this fierce struggle will definitely continue for a long time. Midu is an expert A wise person naturally knows how to make decisions and how to act to maximize his interests. Moreover, the more intelligent a person is, the more selfish he will be. How could a selfish person do such a stupid thing as resisting the Tang Dynasty with an egg against a stone? "
< br>
Xue Rengui thought for a moment and felt that what Fang Jun said was very reasonable, so he said no more.
Fang Jun instead warned him: "Tomorrow's battle will certainly affect whether Xue Yantuo can be completely destroyed and whether the situation in Mobei will be stable in the future, but you must also pay attention to safety. If something cannot be done, you can make a decisive decision and retreat as soon as possible. In my eyes, even if I’m a Bazhuo, I can’t compare to you! You must come back alive for me!”
This is his favorite general, the mainstay of the new army he built. How can he be willing to watch him lose his life in this mere Mobei?
Xue Rengui was moved in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Commander, I will act according to the opportunity and will never act recklessly."
Fang Jun nodded and said: "Very good, go and have a rest. At dawn, go into battle to kill the enemy!"
"Here!"
Xue Rengui stood up, saluted and strode away.
Looking at Xue Rengui's tall and majestic back, Xue Wanche said with emotion: "He is brave and good at fighting, good at both civil and military affairs, and has the qualifications to be a famous general! In time, this son will definitely become an important general in the Tang Dynasty military. If he has a strong background, it is not impossible to go further."< br>
Xue Wanche valued Xue Rengui very highly.
Fang Jun chuckled, filled a cup of tea for Xue Wanche with his own hands, and gestured to drink it.
I was inevitably proud of myself. My young master's eyes could see through the wind and clouds traveling through time. Is he more than just Xue Rengui? Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Cheng Wuting, Xi Junmai, Gao Kan... which one will not be a famous general in the Tang military in the future?
It is also a famous name in the history of history!
To put it bluntly, if His Majesty Li Er dies in the future and Fang Jun intends to rebel, these generals will be enough to cause a bloody storm, and it is not a bad idea to change the dynasty.
Seeing Fang Jun's unabashed complacency, Xue Wanche felt envious and jealous at the same time. He sighed: "After this battle, Erlang's achievements can be said to be astonishing in the past and today, directly catching up with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing! It is said that a name will last forever, and it will be the same in the world. It's not an exaggeration. Brother, I was lucky enough to drink some soup after following Erlang's footsteps, but I was already satisfied. It shows that people can't. Than...Brother, I am only of some use on the battlefield. Even Cheng Yaojin, Wei Chigong and others are not convinced. Today, they are convinced that Xue Ju will become the leader of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Famous general, but Erlang, I don’t dare to speculate on your future. Perhaps, being crowned king and becoming prime minister may not be the end..."
Fang Jun was startled and looked up at Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche glanced at it, nodded slowly, and said: "I am a rough man and don't understand the conspiracy and planning. However, when I was a child, my father forced me to read a few books and I know the stories of Huo Zimeng and Cao Mengde...' Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; If you pile up on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if you are higher than others, the crowd will be wrong. The lesson is not far away, and you will overturn the car and continue on the track'... Sometimes, some things are not what you think, the situation will push you. Keep going until there is no recovery..."
At this point, he suddenly smiled and said: "Erlang is a smart man. He naturally knows what I am talking about and how to do it. I am talking too much... It is late at night, and elderly people always feel sleepy. , I’m going to take a rest and relax for a while.”
After saying that, he stood up and left the table with a smile, leaving Fang Jun sitting alone in the tent.
Fang Jun was shocked in his heart, and even after Xue Wanche left, he still couldn't calm down...
Huo Guang, Huo Zimeng, and Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, the deeds of these two people are familiar even to later generations. How could Fang Jun not know about them?
Huo Guangnai is the half-brother of Huo Qubing, the maternal grandfather of Shangguan, the empress of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and the father of Huo Chengjun, the empress of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
This man was of noble status, but had no knowledge or skills. He was initially selected as a Langguan by Menyin, and successively served as a servant, captain of Fengche, and doctor Guanglu. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, he paid homage to the general and Sima, and was ordered to entrust Gu Gu to assist the government and assist Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. He eliminated Shangguan Jie's conspiracy to support Liu Dan, deposed Liu He, the king of Changyi, and supported Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to ascend the throne.
The scenery is unique.
In the early days, Huo Guang was extremely cautious. "I have been in and out of the prison for more than 20 years, and I have never been cautious." This was how he won the trust of Emperor Wu. However, as time passed and his position became more stable, Huo Guang gradually changed his original approach. He became less cautious and his desire for power began to expand.
Especially in the late period of Emperor Zhao, a large number of his former officials and relatives were placed in important positions.
Huo Guang's family and even his servants also relied on the power of others to do whatever they wanted. Especially after his death, his family and servants did whatever they wanted without any scruples. They violated the etiquette system and privately expanded Huo Guang's mausoleum and his own palace; without an emperor, Huo Yun "mostly followed guests, surrounded and hunted the Huangshan Garden, and sent Cangtou slaves to the court, and no one dared to condemn them."
Even the Han Yuefu that has been handed down has the poem "In the past, there was a slave of the Huo family, whose surname was Feng and his name was Zidu. He relied on the general's power and made fun of Hu, a restaurant owner"...
His arrogance and domineering nature are evident.
During Huo Guang's lifetime, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty thought that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, had the merit of supporting the establishment, and held real power. He had just started among the people, was weak and fledgling, so he did not rush to attack the Huo family. After Huo Guang's death, he only Two years later, the Huo family was punished by the clan.
Huo Guangfei was a domineering person, but in the end his clan was exterminated because of his domineering behavior.
What he did was not necessarily his true intention, but he was coerced by the people around him, and step by step he walked into the abyss of eternal destruction.
As for Cao Mengde, who "held the emperor in power to command the princes", he was an example of a "powerful minister"!
What everyone does does not necessarily come from their true heart. The external situation, the coercion of cronies, the trend of history... everything will make you make a decision that goes against your true heart, and then deviate from your original intention. Going further and further down a thorny road. Even the current emperor, His Majesty Li Er, when he killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate in the "blood-stained Xuanwu Sect", was this his original intention?
