Chapter 3601 Coercion
Princess Gao Yang only felt that her light figure was flying in the clouds like catkins, so light and effortless that she could only open her red lips and exhale like orchid, and the water in her starry eyes was blurred.
Running continuously for thousands of miles, without taking off his armor or taking off his horse's saddle, even Fang Jun's amazing physical fitness was a bit too much. Moreover, the situation was still tense at the moment, and the outcome was undecided. He just didn't dare to be greedy without restraint. joyous.
After just taking a nap for an hour, she reluctantly got up when the sky was dark, left the warm and fragrant bed, washed herself under the service of the maid, leaving Princess Gaoyang who was sleeping like a white sheep in spring, and rushed to the army.
The hibiscus tent warms the spring night. From now on, the king will not go to court early. This is what people want.
Any man with extraordinary energy will have a strong desire for power and sex. However, those who have achieved great things will have moderation in everything. When they indulge, they can be bold and uninhibited, but they must have strong self-control. Only when they know what they can do and not do it can they be human. Master.
*****
The hibiscus tent here is full of pleasure, but Yanshoufang on the other side has been shocked by the news that Fang Jun built a pontoon bridge to cross the Weishui River and defeated Changsun Heng'an's troops in one fell swoop. When the Guanlong rebels inside and outside Chang'an heard the news, Everyone was shocked and panicked.
It was just dawn, and Zhangsun Wuji walked out of the bedroom with a cane and the help of a servant. He stood in the main hall and looked at the body of Zhangsun Heng'an lying on the ground. His face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water, and his eyes were red and filled with hatred. The meaning is overwhelming!
In the eldest grandson's family, the eldest grandson Heng'an has never had a strong sense of presence. Because of this, he has mediocre talents and a calm personality. He always puts his mind on things that have nothing to do with himself and is unwilling to deal with others. He is very unpopular among the clan. But he was very kind to his eldest son, Wuji. When his stepmother kicked him out of the house, all his uncles and brothers turned a blind eye. Only his eldest son, Heng'an, came to Gao Shilian's house to visit him from time to time and often supported him.
But now, he had no choice but to let his elderly eldest son Heng'an lead the army, but it cost him his life...
How can we behave as a human being if we don’t take revenge?
Of course, the most important thing right now is not revenge, but how to deal with the sudden change in the situation caused by Fang Jun's forced crossing of the Weishui River and his rendezvous with the East Palace...
Holding back the sadness in his heart, Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Take it to the family temple outside the city to have a funeral. The funeral will not be held for the time being. We will wait until after the battle to arrange the funeral."
It's winter now, the temperature is extremely low, and if you use ice to cool down, the body can be preserved for a long time. Furthermore, by now in this battle, both sides have laid out all their cards. The outcome may only be ten months, and it will definitely not last long.
At that time, I will make arrangements for my eldest grandson Heng'an again, and he will be buried in peace...
"Here!"
The Changsun family members and servants all took the order and placed the body of Changsun Heng'an in a coffin they brought. More than a hundred clan members carried the coffin and walked out of the city. Along the way, the rebels stood on both sides of the streets and alleys, sending each other off solemnly. They looked sad at the death of a rabbit and a fox, but also felt anxious and fearful.
Everyone knew that Fang Jun's Hundred Battle Elites were powerful, but they didn't expect them to be so powerful. As soon as they arrived in Guanzhong, they successively defeated the Guanlong army. Company commander Sun Heng'an, a veteran of the Changsun family, was killed in the army. They were really unstoppable. .
This once again frustrated the morale of the Guanlong army that had originally besieged Taiji Palace but failed...
Changsun Wuji returned to the hall and sat on a chair, frowning at the pain in his leg. In the hall, Yuwen Shiji, Liu Gang, Yuwen Jie and others were all present, and the atmosphere was a bit gloomy.
Fang Jun's unstoppable fighting power cast a shadow on everyone's confidence in victory. Moreover, because Fang Jun had already led his army to arrive outside Xuanwu Gate and joined forces with the Sixth Army of the East Palace, the defense of Taiji Palace became stronger and Taiji was captured. I'm afraid the palace's strategy will be delayed again.
Changsun Wuji took in everyone's expressions and asked, "How is the situation outside Chang'an City?"
Yu Wenjie stood up and replied respectfully: "Jingyang County Magistrate Li Yifu surrendered without a fight, which led to the fall of Jingyang. Changpingcang has fallen into the hands of Fang Jun. After Fang Jun supplied supplies, he left 3,000 men to garrison while he led the army. With Gao Kan's support, they built a pontoon bridge and forcibly crossed the Weishui River. At this moment, tens of thousands of Fang Jun's cavalry had arrived outside Xuanwu Gate. The entire Youtun Guards were unified and temporarily rested without any movement. "
Liu Gang said "Hey" and cursed angrily: "Li Yifu, this two-faced thing, is simply cheating and cheating. He really deserves to be killed!"
For Fang Jun's tens of thousands of troops, it is extremely difficult to supply food and fodder. As long as Li Yifu can hold on for two days, Chang'an will send reinforcements to arrive. The inside and outside will cooperate to inflict heavy damage on Fang Jun, and more importantly, cut off his occupation of Changpingcang. As a result, Li Yifu surrendered without even the slightest intention to resist, and gave up the entire Jingyang...
Changsun Wuji remained silent.
He naturally knew that Li Yifu was cunning, indolent, and always liked to find shortcuts in everything rather than doing things down to earth, so he never trusted him. Since Li Yifu took refuge, instead of using him seriously, he dismissed him from his ten thousand year post as county magistrate and sent him to Jingyang.
But I never thought that Changpingcang in Jingyang would become the focus of Fang Jun's army to obtain supplies. If someone else were to guard Jingyang, they would not be as unresisting as Li Yifu...
Although he felt unhappy, he also admitted that Fang Jun had a good sense of people. The imperial examination room was able to "donate clothes" to Li Yifu. It stands to reason that Li Yifu was naturally grateful. With a little win-over, he could be regarded as Fang Jun's confidant. However, Fang Jun was... He ignored him and allowed him to turn to the King of Jin and then himself in desperation.
But I thought that even if Li Yifu had evil intentions, he was quite capable and could always play some role, so he sent him to Jingyang, but now he is reaping the consequences...
Now that Fang Jun has sufficient supplies, tens of thousands of troops have gathered outside Xuanwu Gate to repair. In a few days, when they have recovered from the exhaustion of thousands of miles of assault, they will surely launch a counterattack. How can the Guanlong army resist such an elite army that has fought many battles?
Changsun Wuji had a headache, and he felt more and more that although Guan Long had occupied the court in recent years, he only cared about grabbing profits and neglecting to cultivate talents. Otherwise, why would he not even have a few disciples who could come up with ideas to win the battle at such a critical moment? Can't find it?
Regardless of the country or the family, in the final analysis, it still needs to rely on talents to forge ahead. Otherwise, even if it dominates the world, even if it is full of bells and whistles, it will not escape the fate of prosperity and decline...
Rubbing his forehead, Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said to Yu Wenshiji, Liu Gang and others: "For the current plan, we can only continue to strengthen the strength of our army, otherwise the cavalry under Fang Jun's command will be difficult to resist. Wait a moment , I also ask you to send people to all parts of the world, call on all the clans to do their best, and work together to win this military remonstrance!”
Having said this, he paused for a moment, straightened his back, and his tone became more serious, saying word by word: "Your Majesty's national policy of suppressing powerful families has been going on for a long time, but because in the past, we lost our homes and careers to accompany Your Majesty in conquering the world. Because of love, Your Majesty will be merciful and will not be cruel. But once the prince succeeds to the throne, why will he care about our achievements in founding the country? He vowed to wipe out our clan in one fell swoop! Today’s military revolt was not initiated by Guan Long for his own benefit, but for the sake of the future of the clans in the world. Sun Qiancheng! Don’t let the world’s elites sit back and watch the excitement. If Guanlong loses today, our fate will be the fate of the world’s elites in the future!”
This time it was Yu Wenshiji and Liu Gang's turn to remain silent.
It sounds so nice, as if you shoulder the great responsibility of reviving the world's great families, and are dedicated to serving the public good. Is it possible that everyone has to build a memorial arch for you?
When the mutiny first broke out, you didn't notify anyone. You planned everything in private, and then went into battle together with the Guanlong clan. Everyone knew that you wanted to take advantage of the Changsun family.
When the war doesn't go well, and you see your success in ruins, you tie up the powerful families in Hedong and Hexi to plug loopholes for your selfish plans...
Now you want to bring all the nobles from all over the world together, and use the blood of each family's descendants and the family's wealth to drive you to realize your eldest grandson's family's ambition to be in charge of the court?
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to admit that Changsun Wuji's words were also true. If the East Palace cannot be deposed this time, when the prince secures his position as the throne, or even ascends the throne as emperor in the future, his hatred for the world's elites will make him more ruthless than His Majesty Li Er when formulating national policies!
Is it possible that they can still rebel like they did in the late Sui Dynasty?
The Tang Dynasty is not the Sui Dynasty. The so-called times have changed. Although the Tang Dynasty is full of hidden dangers, its national strength is booming. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the merchants have abundant wealth. Who is so full that they will tie the lives of their families to their belts and follow you in rebellion?
