Chapter 3388 Planning
Over the years, the reason why Fang Jun has gradually grown from a playboy and "a nuisance in Chang'an" to a big boss and a military giant is not only because of his outstanding talents, but also because he constantly cultivates new people and turns some unknown people into Jian was humbled and then entrusted with important responsibilities and became his staunch follower, making his own strength continue to increase.
How to show one's status?
It’s nothing more than connections and power.
Networks require all kinds of people to build a network, and power is the control over people, making them do whatever they want. Countless capable people and strangers will mess with you, and this is considered power. Otherwise, if you have a high-ranking title or official position, but no one can direct it, what is power?
Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xi Junmai, Cheng Wuting...
It was the rise of these people under Fang Jun's cultivation that made Fang Jun a powerful figure in the army. Coupled with his outstanding military exploits, he could be compared with a group of famous Zhenguan generals, and he was better than his predecessors.
It can be seen from this that since Fang Jun dared to leave Gao Kan in Chang'an and lead half of the Youtun Guards to guard Xuanwu Gate, it means that he is very optimistic about Gao Kan's talents.
Such a military boss who has trained countless young talents trusts Gao Kan so much. What else can Li Chengqian have to doubt?
Li Chengqian simply admired Fang Jun's talent and ability and had no doubt about it...
Li Jing said: "The old minister will stationed in the East Palace later, and the six leaders of the East Palace will take over the various city gates. Gao Kan will guard outside the Xuanwu Gate and restrain the Zuotun guards. Even if there are really thieves gathering bandits and private soldiers to commit rebellious acts. , you can also fight with it!”
Li Jing is full of confidence in the current crisis.
Although the Six Commands of the East Palace have recently been reorganized and trained, the leaders of each of the guards, such as Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi, and Qu Tuquan, are all descendants of famous families and well-educated families. They are very capable in leading troops, and they all have their own talents behind them. Having a backer makes him very authoritative among the six rates, so he can follow the rules and dare to fight.
Youtunwei even followed Fang Jun's soldiers out of Baidao, marched across Mobei, overthrew Xue Yantuo, and even went straight to Longcheng and Leshi Yanran. Even though there were only less than 20,000 people, each of them was elite, and one was as good as ten. How could they be like that of Zuotunwei? How can it be compared to a ragtag army that neglects training and is filled with young people from aristocratic families who are lazy and lazy?
With these two strong armies, plus more than a thousand students from Zhenguan Academy outside the city, they can enter the city as a reserve army to participate in the battle in times of crisis, ensuring that the East Palace is safe.
Li Chengqian's heart was at peace, but he still frowned, and sighed: "These days, I hope Duke Wei will be more diligent. Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible for him to take action against those thieves first."
If a mutiny really breaks out inside and outside Chang'an City, the East Palace will definitely be in a passive position initially, because no matter how many troops there are in the East Palace, it is impossible to brazenly attack Guanlong, the clan, and other forces that may launch a mutiny without any evidence. Be the first to take action.
Then let people be called "troublemakers" and "violent and unkind", and change from the prince who protects the country to the eternal sinner who troubles the rulers...
Of course Li Jing understood the prince's dilemma and said with relief: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if the thieves are so bold as to launch a mutiny, they are just gathering dead soldiers from each family's family. These slaves and slaves are running rampant in the countryside to prey on the common people." It's okay, but as long as you face elite troops like Shang Liu and Youtun Wei, they are just a bunch of ragtag troops! Your Highness just needs to sit in the East Palace and watch the ministers annihilate the rebels and clean up the world."
Naturally, the situation will not be as smooth sailing as imagined. Since those people dare to launch a mutiny, they must be somewhat sure. At least where the mutiny occurs, they will be able to see the omissions of the East Palace and attack them. Therefore, within a certain stage, the East Palace will inevitably At a disadvantage, passive everywhere.
However, it was precisely this difficulty that caused the pride in Li Jing's chest that had been dormant for many years to suddenly burst out!
I think back then, he commanded the army to conquer the north and south, made countless illustrious military exploits, and was called the "God of War" by the world. His reputation was comparable to that of Li Mu and Bai Qi in ancient times. However, because of his great achievements, he was jealous of his Majesty. He had to voluntarily hand over his military power, live in seclusion in his mansion, and pin his pride on writing books.
Now that the situation is critical and Guanzhong is unstable, he is deeply trusted by the prince and entrusted with important tasks, and he can arrange troops and go into battle to kill the enemy. How can he not be excited?
The old man is still aiming for a thousand miles.
In his twilight years, the martyr is still very proud of himself!
How could a great man like Li Jing be willing to stay dormant in his mansion and rot with the vegetation? The country is in danger and the country is in turmoil. This is the time for heroes to unsheath their swords and cleanse the world!
*****
For several days, Changsun Chong secretly visited every family in Guanlong, contacted and conspired with the heads of each family, and also contacted those who were close to the Changsun family among the garrison in Guanzhong.
No one expected that Changsun Chong, who was still an "imperial prisoner" until now, would sneak back to Chang'an and be ordered by Changsun Wuji to contact him and prepare for important events. Although he was shocked, he also became more concerned about Changsun Wuji's plan. confidence. Although few families directly agree to it, they are still in a wait-and-see state. As long as the situation is favorable, they will definitely participate.
Changsun Chong visited and planned continuously. He was deeply aware of the heavy responsibility he shouldered and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Changsun Wen advised from the side: "Brother, is there something wrong with your body? Although big things are important, you must also take good care of your body. You travel thousands of miles and have to work hard, but you must not fall ill, otherwise this will be a big deal. , who can carry it? Although important, we should also pay more attention to rest."
Changsun Chong pinched his brows, took a sip of tea, looked very haggard, and sighed: "This time when I return to the capital, I will follow my father's instructions and negotiate with many parties to lay a good foundation for the implementation of major events in the future. How can I dare to indulge in this?" Anle, delaying the opportunity? ”
The Seven Star Gate of Pingrang City caused the Tang army to be defeated. Thousands of Tang soldiers fell into the Seven Star Gate and were burned clean. They fell into the trap of Yuan Gaisuwen and made the "Wang Zhuang Army" lurk in Anhe without anyone noticing. In the deep ravine behind the palace, His Majesty Li Er fell from his horse and was injured directly...
Many mistakes made Changsun Chong's mission of lurking in Pingrang City a complete failure. Even he was almost killed. Naturally, his "criminal meritorious service" mission completely failed. What awaited him was still the crime that was wanted all over the world. He would never return to Chang'an in this life. .
If he wanted to return to Chang'an and his eldest grandson's family to enjoy the glory and wealth instead of living in exile like a lost dog, he had to implement his father's plan perfectly, so how could he dare to slack off in the slightest?
However, there is always a thorn in his heart, which he cannot swallow or spit out. He tosses and turns because of it and does not think about food or food...
Changsun Wen was also a man with clear eyebrows and asked curiously: "What is the problem for the eldest brother? You might as well tell me. Although the younger brother is stupid, he is also handy. It is impossible to solve the problem for the eldest brother."
He thought that Changsun Chong was in trouble because of family matters, but when Changsun Chong heard this, he pondered for a while, looked at him and asked: "I heard rumors outside that Changle and Fang Jun were having an affair, and they had been having an affair for a long time. To give birth to an heir...but I don’t know if it’s true or not?”
Changsun Wen was stunned for a moment, thought about it in his mind, and said cautiously: "The scandal between His Highness Changle and Fang Jun has been circulating in the city for a long time, but no one has ever seen it in person, and His Highness Changle and Duke Gao Yang The Lord has always been friendly, often traveling hand in hand, and keeping close contact with her. If such a thing really happened, how could Princess Gaoyang, with her charming temperament, let it go, let alone stay close to His Highness Changle? "
He carefully considered his words: "I know that His Highness Changle is the most dignified and virtuous person, and she has the legacy of Queen Wende. How can I be so content with my brother-in-law? Besides, my brother has been separated from His Highness Changle for many years. During this period, Countless children of aristocratic families proposed marriage to His Majesty, but His Majesty declined them all. . How can a woman live a pure and lonely life if she can't let go of another man? It's hard to say that His Highness still loves his brother in his heart. After all, His Highness is not that kind of person who is carefree and changes his mind when he sees different things. .”
Once he was only a stone's throw away from the position of the head of the family, but unexpectedly the situation suddenly changed dramatically. Not only did he fail to eliminate Changsun Yan in one fell swoop, but now Changsun Chong returned to Chang'an with the important responsibility entrusted to him by his father. He did not take Changsun Yan seriously. Even though he had the support of Dong Gong, as long as his father recognized him as the candidate for the heir apparent, how could Dong Gong reject it?
But Changsun Chong's return to Chang'an seriously endangered his position as the heir apparent. He had to find a way to prevent Changsun Chong from staying in Chang'an. The best way is to offend an arrogant and powerful person who even his father cannot protect.
Fang Jun is naturally the best candidate...(End of Chapter)
