Chapter 3093 Make up your mind
Li Daozong was also a famous general of his generation, so he was naturally familiar with battle formations and the art of war. War is not a sandbox simulation, nor does it mean whoever has more soldiers and generals will win. There are countless examples in history of winning with fewer troops. However, in these battles without exception, the coach has the belief that he must win.
If even the commander is wavering and is always ready to flee, how can his soldiers be willing to fight to the death and defeat many with a small number?
Only by living towards death and uniting as one can we defeat more with less and achieve miracles.
These words were a bit serious. Li Chengqian was suddenly shocked and realized that he had made a mistake. At this time, he could only boost morale, but how could it harm the morale of the army?
Immediately said: "It's Gu, no matter what, Gu wishes Erlang victory."
Fang Jun likes Li Chengqian's temperament of correcting his mistakes very much. After all, there are too few peerless heroes with great talents like Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Among the other emperors, who can know it from birth and control the rotation of the sun and the moon? In the palm of your hand?
If you have the will to correct your mistakes when you realize them, and you are humble and eager to learn, as long as you are not too stupid, you can be a good emperor.
In fact, if the political system of the Tang Dynasty continues to operate according to the current rules, and the political affairs hall, military aircraft department, three provinces and six ministries all perform their duties, and the emperor does not use his imperial power to cause wanton destruction, then the Tang Dynasty will continue to be glorious for a long time.
And this is exactly what Fang Jun wants.
In a capital where imperial power is supreme, once you encounter a foolish, willful and uncontrollable king, it will inevitably be a disaster that sweeps the world.
Unfortunately, the probability of this kind of thing happening is very high. After all, "it is easy to destroy but difficult to build." To achieve a prosperous situation where the world is unified and the people live in peace, generations of far-sighted people need to work hard and accumulate continuously. .
However, if you want to ruin the glorious age, it may be just a wrong war, an outrageous system, or even an inevitable natural disaster...
An authoritarian social system has almost no room for error.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. If our humble ministers go out to control Hexi, if Tuyuhun raises troops to invade the territory, we should take a defensive position and hold on to the city without leaving, weakening their energy, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. The use of firearms by Youtun Guards is the best among the entire army, and they are not afraid of it. Tuyuhun’s tactics of rushing and fighting are not without their strength in a battle.”
Fang Jun was full of confidence in the Youtun Guards under his command.
Of course, no matter whether he could defeat Tuyuhun or not, in such a war that endangered the country and the country, he would not be allowed to retreat even a little bit.
I would rather be stained with blood on the battlefield than have all these years of hard work go to waste.
Li Chengqian said with emotion: "In this case, Gu Yi will not say those discouraging words. In this battle, we will work together to expel the barbarians and ensure that there is no danger in the pass. After the victory, Gu Yi will write the battle report himself and ask his father to give Erlang a request. Gong! ”
Xiao Yu said nothing while Wen Yan glanced at Fang Jun.
At present, Fang Jun is already considered one of the giants in the military. The only people who can compete with him are famous generals like Li Jing, Li Ji, and Li Xiaogong. Even Cheng Yaojin, Li Daliang, and Yu Chigong have made great achievements in fighting for many years. The illustrious characters are slightly inferior.
If this battle is lost, naturally nothing will be mentioned.
But if he wins, his reputation will be close to that of Li Jing, and even his name as "God of War" may change hands from now on.
After all, Tuyuhun's elbow and armpit injuries were a serious problem. If he could be defeated, his achievements would not be exaggerated. This kind of meritorious service in protecting the capital is more shocking than opening up new territories, and is more likely to be praised by the world.
Especially those great Confucians who preached "a state of etiquette and benevolence to the world" all day long and opposed foreign wars would push Fang Jun to the top and set an example as a model for their theories.
It can be said that this battle seems dangerous, but as long as Fang Jun can go through it, he may become the first person in the military. Coupled with his outstanding ability in governing the country, it is not impossible for him to become a general, prime minister, take charge of the court, and become a powerful minister in the future...
So when he looked at Fang Jun, his eyes were full of envy and admiration.
Who would have thought that a young man in his weak years would actually show such talent and have such a bright future?
With Fang Jun's age, he might be able to take charge of the center for thirty years.
What a bright and dazzling era it will be, when one person's willpower is demonstrated without reservation, influencing this huge empire to move in the direction he has set.
It has never happened before through the ages.
Of course, based on Xiao Yu's understanding of Fang Jun, this man has great ambitions but lacks ambition. He can risk his own life in order to continue his ideas, but he will never become a powerful official who empties the emperor in order to gain more power.
This weak-headed young man clearly distinguishes his aspirations and ambitions, which makes him take every step steadily. Many of his seemingly nonsense moves, if you think about it carefully, are all showing his ambitions and ambitions in front of others, letting others know. The emperor saw clearly.
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er loves him very much, and even if he makes big mistakes repeatedly, he cannot bear to be harshly criticized.
Therefore, Li Chengqian regarded it as a humerus and trusted it without any doubt or fear.
It is both tyrannical and aboveboard.
A truly famous minister of the generation...
*****
In the afternoon in Zhongnan Mountain, the mountains and forests are quiet, the birds are chirping, and the springs are gurgling. It is a beautiful scenery of a paradise.
The sunlight was blocked by the tall tree crowns, and some sunlight shone down from the branches and leaves, falling scatteredly in the courtyard paved with green bricks. The cool breeze passed through the hall, carrying the sandalwood burning in the bronze beast furnace in the alchemy room. Circling, freehand stretching.
A pot of mountain spring water was steaming on the small red clay stove. Fang Jun and Princess Changle were sitting opposite each other at the tea table in the center of the alchemy room, drinking tea.
The man is handsome, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and the woman is full of beauty and beautiful. Reflecting the green bamboo forest and towering ancient trees outside the window, they look like a beautiful picture scroll.
Boiling water is poured into the teapot, and the green tea leaves float and sink, exuding a delicate and elegant fragrance.
Princess Changle stretched out her slender hand to lift the teapot and poured the tea into the teacup. She put down the teapot and picked up the teacup with her fingers. Her white jade hands, the exquisite and crystal clear teacup, and the green tea soup were brought to her moist red lips. They complemented each other beautifully. Gorgeous.
Taking a sip of tea, she put the cup down. Princess Changle lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, and then she asked softly: "This expedition must not be heroic. As a commander, you should focus on the overall situation." Only by protecting yourself can you expel the barbarians and protect the capital. You must not take the lead and risk the attack yourself as before. "
He was talking, but he felt a little confused in his heart.
Women are always soft-hearted and tend to worry about gains and losses. If your man only knows how to enjoy and is timid, he will feel that he has no ambition to make progress and is not worth entrusting him with his life; but if his ambition is high and he often puts life and death aside, he will feel that he lacks responsibility and will ignore the future of his parents, wife and children for the sake of his own fame.
I admired Fang Jun because of his heroic spirit and talent, but now I somewhat hoped that he would not be so outstanding, let alone carry the safety of the capital on his shoulders, or even put his own life aside, and go to Hexi to resist Tuyuhun without hesitation. of cavalry.
Of course, Fang Jun put aside all his glory and wealth and dared to lead his army to Hexi to fight in Tuyuhun to protect the country. This made her even more obsessed and fascinated.
Fang Jun also took a sip of tea, admiring the perfect and flawless face in front of him at close range, and said warmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but I don't want to deceive Your Highness, so I can't say those comforting words. On the battlefield , the situation is changing rapidly, not to mention that this expedition is to defeat the enemy with a small number, the battle situation is even more out of control, no one can predict Calculate what will happen in the next moment. When necessary, even as a commander, you should take the lead and move forward bravely! How can you push your soldiers forward, but stay behind and refuse to take risks? My blood body can stop the barbarians from south of Qilian, so I will do my duty without hesitation.”
These words were impassioned, and indeed what Fang Jun was thinking, but Princess Changle was frightened and turned pale. She was so angry that she glanced at Fang Jun and said coquettishly: "You are the one! You don't know how to use nice words to coax others." ? Opening your mouth and keeping your mouth shut is a waste, don’t say such nonsense, it’s unlucky.”
Fang Jun squinted his eyes, seeing the beauty's slightly annoyed look, which made him feel itchy in his heart.
Princess Changle now has a close connection with Fang Jun. When she saw Fang Jun's eyes shining, she was startled. She widened her beautiful eyes and said nervously: "It's clear as day, don't do this nonsense!" (End of Chapter)
