Chapter 3598 Meeting
Li Chengqian said: "What does Duke Wei think?"
Although Li Jing had a bumpy career and was repeatedly rejected, he was not a political idiot and naturally understood Li Chengqian's thoughts. Although he didn't care whether Fang Jun's family was the dominant one and caused jealousy that led to divisions within the East Palace, he still did his part and said bluntly: "Although the current situation has eased slightly, it is far from the point of talking about victory. Although the Guanlong rebels were defeated before They suffered heavy losses in the battle, but now they have the support of clans in Hedong and Hexi, and their strength has increased instead of falling.”
The strategy of running an army is full of means. This passage declares the current predicament and the strength of the enemy. It is regarded as "suppression". Naturally, there is also "raising" next. "Suppression first and then raising" can best stimulate morale.
Therefore, he only paused briefly before continuing: "But no matter whether it is the Sixth Army of the East Palace, the Youtun Guards under Fang Erlang, the elites of the Anxi Army, or even the Tubo Huqi commanded by Zan Po, the son of Lu Dongzan, they are all It is the most powerful army in the world, and its combat power is far superior to that of the ragtag rebels. As long as they are cautious and not afraid of sacrifice, they can eventually clean up the world and turn defeat into victory. ”
This can be regarded as setting the tone for the subsequent strategic layout. First, put yourself at the weak point, work together, and proceed steadily.
Of course, that's all. Since the news of Fang Jun's return to Chang'an came, he has been thinking about how to arrange his troops again and again. He already has a relatively mature strategy, but he will not put the specific details here. The strategy was announced.
He turned his eyes from the faces of Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others, and then remained silent.
The announcement of specific strategies can naturally boost morale, but the East Palace is not monolithic. Everyone has their own interests. Once the specific strategies are leaked, they will be targeted by the rebels everywhere in the future. They will struggle to move forward and will only be defeated completely. Between the lines.
Have to be careful...
Fang Jun happened to look at Li Jing, and he met Li Jing's eyes. With a tacit understanding in his heart, he nodded and said: "The Duke of Wei is a famous commander in the world. All he needs to do is give orders on how to march and arrange the formation, whether it is the Youtun Guards, the Anxi Army, or even the Tubo Army." Hu Qi will not disobey anyone. If anyone dares to disobey the military order, he will be killed without mercy!"
Li Chengqian also came to his senses and said: "It's the same with Gu. This battle is all under the command of Duke Wei, and he will never interfere. Even if I need to charge into the battle, I will carry my sword and mount my horse. There will be no shirk!"
In fact, how could Li Jing bypass him and take command without authorization? Even if he had no objections, he would definitely submit the entire strategy...
The other people had different expressions, so naturally they couldn't ask too many questions. Who knew that people would be on their guard from time to time? Furthermore, in the face of a formidable enemy, although strategies against the enemy should be based on collective wisdom to avoid mistakes, no one was so shameless to raise such doubts in front of a master of military art like Li Jing.
Just at this time, the chamberlain served the banquet, and Li Chengqian sat at the main seat, drinking happily with all the courtiers. He was indeed happy today. Although he also knew that he should try to avoid excessive kindness and making Fang Jun jealous, he couldn't help but kept asking Fang Jun about the detailed strategy of the battle in the Western Regions.
When they heard Fang Jun talking about how he mobilized craftsmen to make hot-air balloons, how he took huge risks to attack enemy camps at night, and how most of the soldiers who piloted hot-air balloons later crashed into the Tianshan Mountains and died because they were unable to land safely, everyone sighed in admiration. Yu, Li Jing He said with a sigh: "I just regret that the Foundry Bureau has been razed to the ground now, and many craftsmen have been captured and fled. Otherwise, if we can rush to make a batch of hot air balloons, supplemented by the firearms of the Foundry Bureau, it will be useless no matter how many rebels there are. Daozai?”
Even traditional military masters like him are increasingly realizing that firearms can change the trend of war. It's just that they lack sufficient knowledge in this regard and their thinking is not broad enough. Otherwise, when the war is about to start, the entire foundry bureau will be withdrawn into the imperial city. How can the rebels be allowed to wreak havoc until now?
Fang Jun couldn't help feeling sad when he heard that Ma Zhouyan and the foundry had been reduced to ashes, and that the academy students had suffered heavy casualties. Cen Changqian, Xin Maojiang, Ouyang Tong and others were still missing.
Zhenguan Academy was the focus of his efforts to promote natural science and respond to His Majesty Li Er's support for poor students. He spent a lot of effort on it. It was supposed to be the pioneer of Chinese natural science, but it was destroyed by a mutiny. It was really sad.
Especially those academy students who originally left their names and meritorious deeds in history, and now are destined to shine in the world through advanced ideological education. Even if one of them is lost, it makes him heartbroken, let alone such huge casualties...

The warm atmosphere at the banquet suddenly dropped and ended hastily.
Fang Jun resigned: "The army has just arrived outside Xuanwu Gate. Many matters need to be coordinated and decided without delay. I will go ahead first. When His Highness and Duke Wei discuss the strategy against the enemy, I will follow the orders."
He exchanged greetings with Ma Zhou and Li Daozong, and then walked out of the duty room accompanied by the chamberlain and passed through the inner door.
Just after passing the inner gate, I saw two chamberlains and two palace maids standing in the doorway. They stepped forward and bowed and said: "On the order of His Highness Jinyang, we are here to wait for the Duke of Yue and invite the Duke of Yue to the Prime Minister." See.”
Although Fang Jun was thinking about his family, he would not refuse. Following several palace people, they came to one of the rows of houses in the inner gate. The room was lit with candles, incense, and charcoal basins. In the corner, the wind and snow are blowing outside, but the inside is as warm as spring.
The floor was covered with a thick blanket from the Western Regions. Two princesses were sitting behind the coffee table. One was wearing a Taoist robe and the other was neatly dressed in palace attire. They were both looking at him with bright eyes and smiles.
Fang Jun stepped forward and bowed his head to the ground: "I have an audience with your two highnesses."
Princess Changle pursed her lips and said nothing, staring at Fang Jun's face with eyes as sharp as water. Princess Jinyang's slender waist was straight, she smiled and waved her white hands, and said happily: "Brother-in-law, no gifts! Hurry up and take your seats!”
After saying that, he moved forward and poured a cup of fragrant tea with his own hands. He held it in both hands and handed it to Fang Jun: "Brother-in-law, drink tea."
When the palace people on the side saw this scene, their eyelids twitched, and then they all lowered their heads and turned a blind eye.
Even if they are very close, it is extremely rude and disrespectful for a princess who is waiting for marriage to offer tea to a man with her hands like this. If it spreads, she will inevitably be regarded as "uneducated" and "shameless". The opposite example.
Several people complained in their hearts that under the dignified and virtuous appearance of their little princess, she had an unruly heart...
As a result, when they saw Fang Jun nonchalantly stretching out a hand to take the tea offered by Princess Jinyang, they no longer even thought about complaining. They could only lower their eyebrows and lower their eyes, look at their noses and noses, and pray to God. Don’t spread this scene of worshiping Buddha today.
Otherwise, a little princess who is favored by the emperor and the prince, a powerful minister with countless soldiers and great power, killing people and silencing them is like crushing an ant...
Princess Jinyang was filled with joy, and Fang Jun's invisible appearance made her extremely happy. She even moved closer, and the light and timeless fragrance of her body had penetrated into Fang Jun's nose. Then she asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law is really awesome. As soon as you came back, everyone in Tai Chi Palace was excited, as if you had gained a backbone.”
The little girl's eyes were shining, and her pretty face was full of admiration.
Fang Jun smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "The protagonist of Taiji Palace is His Highness the Crown Prince. As human ministers, we should overcome all obstacles and devote ourselves to it."
His eyes had moved away from Princess Jinyang's face and focused on the incomparable beauty on the side.
The four eyes meet each other with infinite tenderness.
Princess Changle suppressed her shyness and said tenderly: "I have lost weight and become darker..."
"Poof!"
Hearing her sister talking about being "black," Princess Jinyang couldn't help but laugh out loud. She pointed at Fang Jun's thin face and said with a smile: "I remember that Sister Gaoyang called her brother-in-law the 'Black-faced God'. Now he is worthy of his name." Yeah! ”
The somewhat ambiguous atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated...
Even though everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened has happened, Princess Changle has accepted this unethical relationship in her heart, but she still feels sorry for Princess Gaoyang. At this moment, when Princess Jinyang said this, she suddenly felt guilty and her face was a little shaky. stiff.
Fang Jun glared at the innocent-looking Princess Jinyang, with a bright smile that was sly and even triumphant after some pranks. He felt at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.
This little girl has a lot of things on her mind...
However, when I returned to Chang'an for the first time today, there were still a lot of things waiting to be arranged, and Princess Changle lived in this inner gate, surrounded by the royal family members. These palace maids and concubines were usually the most gossipy, and they were very eye-catching, and they definitely did not like her. opportunity.
I can only suppress the thoughts that are ready to move in my heart...(End of Chapter)
