Chapter 3611 Lack of Talent
However, Wei Zhengju was faced with a formidable enemy and instead of thinking about how to frustrate the enemy and hold on to his position, he was afraid of the enemy and fled before the battle. He deserved death!
However, Yu Wenjie did not obey the order and leave to send people to arrest Wei Zhengju. Instead, he took a step forward, came to Changsun Wuji, and whispered: "My lord, please calm down. Wei Zhengju has certainly made a big mistake... but in the end he is Jingzhao Wei's children are young and have no time to do anything. They are suddenly burdened with important responsibilities. It is inevitable that they will make some mistakes. They should be tolerated and punished slightly, and it is not appropriate to mobilize troops and mobilize a large number of people."
Changsun Wuji's eyebrows almost stood up. What's the matter? !
When Fang Jun was Wei Zhengju's age, he had already commanded thousands of troops to conquer the east and west. Not only was he powerful overseas, but he also overthrew Xue Yantuo. He made immortal contributions and became a military giant, even in the court. Even he, the "first minister of Zhenguan", could not suppress his position.
When it comes to Wei Zhengju, is there nothing more to do?
This is simply unreasonable!
Of course, even though Changsun Wuji was about to explode with anger, he still understood Yuwenjie's hint. Jingzhao Wei's surname is Guanzhong. In recent years, he has risen rapidly with the Du family in Fangling, but he has a profound foundation. If Jingzhao Wei's anger is angered and makes him alienate, Guanlong's internal affairs will definitely be unstable.
There are powerful enemies outside and the situation is unpredictable. If there is another internal split, there is really no chance of winning...
But if Wei Zhengju made such a big mistake and turned a deaf ear to it, how could he convince the public?
Yuwenjie found it quite difficult.
However, what kind of storms has Changsun Wuji not seen in his life, what kind of problems has he not solved? Yu Wenjie felt that it was difficult to deal with the dilemma between the two sides, but there was no hesitation in Changsun Wuji's eyes.
He said to Yu Wenjie: "The state has national laws and the army has military regulations. Wei Zhengju was afraid of the enemy and was cowardly and fled in front of the battle. His crime is unforgivable. If he cannot be severely punished, where is the military power? Go and bring him here quickly, there is no need to worry." ”
Jingzhao Weishi is indeed a famous surname in Guanzhong, with a profound heritage and a good influence in the court, but so what? The most important thing at the moment is to establish military prestige. Otherwise, everyone will rely on the power of the clan behind them and turn a blind eye to military regulations and disciplines. It is good for everyone to rush forward in a rush, and everyone retreats when encountering difficulties. How can we fight this battle?
Moreover, if Jingzhao Weishi falls out with Guan Long because of Wei Zhengju, it will be tantamount to violating the interests of all the clans and going against all the clans.
Not to mention a mere Jingzhao Webster, not even his eldest grandson would dare to do this...
"Here!"
Yu Wenjie could only nod and obey the order, turned around and asked a school captain outside the door to take someone to the Wei family to get someone. He also warned not to be too tough and cause conflicts, then turned back to the hall and stood next to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji frowned, took a sip of tea to suppress his anger, thought for a while, and then asked: "What's going on over there at Longshouyuan? Have the battle reports arrived?"
Yu Wenjie said: "I have sent someone to inquire. I believe there will be a reply soon."
Changsun Wuji placed the tea cup heavily on the table, with an angry look on his face: "What on earth did Changsun Jiaqing do? Tens of thousands of people were stationed in Longshouyuan, overlooking the Youtunwei camp. As a result, thousands of people traveled hundreds of miles to raid Baqiao. But he has no idea, he simply doesn’t know what to say!”
Changsun Jiaqing's task was to guard Longshouyuan, prevent the Youtun Guards from attacking eastward against the Guanlong troops gathered in the Tonghua Gate and Chunming Gate areas, and monitor the movements of the Youtun Guards at the same time. As a result, the Youtun Guards stormed all night and blew up all the Baqiao, and scattered and collapsed the tens of thousands of Guanlong troops east of Baqiao, but there was no movement from Changsun Jiaqing's side... Could it be that these tens of thousands of people on Longshou Plain Are you all asleep?
Yu Wenjie felt that Changsun Wuji had rarely lost his calmness, and his whole body fell into a violent rage. He couldn't help but remind him: "My lord, the most important thing right now is to adjust the defenses on both sides of Baqiao and how to restore it." This sneak attack on Youtunwei has shaken the morale of the army, otherwise it will have a great impact on morale.”
Whether punishing Wei Zhengju or holding Sun Jiaqing accountable, the purpose is to establish military prestige and avoid future mistakes. But the most important thing at the moment is the far-reaching impact of Youtunwei's raid on Baqiao. This is very likely to destroy Changsun Wuji's plan to unite all the clans in the world. Try your best.
Once this kind of influence is formed, it will be quite unfavorable for the current situation...
Changsun Wuji frowned tightly, with deep Sichuan lines appearing between his eyebrows, feeling a little exhausted.
Momentum is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist. After this sneak attack on Baqiao, it is no surprise that the generals in the East Palace were excited. After all, Fang Jun returned to Chang'an and won one after another. Guanlong's hundreds of thousands of troops were helpless and had no resistance. The combat power between the two sides The difference is visible to the naked eye.
The morale of the Guanlong army was naturally low and the morale of the army was unstable.
Especially when the nobles from all over the world get this news, their desire to help Guanlong will also be affected. It is obvious that they are hesitant and unwilling to do their best. After all, there are many short-sighted people in the world. Many people can only see the immediate danger, but do not understand the long-term impact on the family once the East Palace wins.
Or even if you can see it, you may not take it to heart...
How to boost morale, inspire people, and give hope to those powerful people so that they can still unswervingly support Guan Long in deposing the East Palace?
It's hard.
The most direct way is to retaliate with tooth. Since the Youtun Guards dare to attack Baqiao, the Guanlong army will fight back to show their tyrannical power. However, Changsun Wuji knew the combat power of Guanlong's army very well. He could still maintain the advantage by attacking more and attacking less. A sneak attack with a small number of troops would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
However, the current war situation is at a stalemate. Once Guan Long launches a large-scale retaliatory action, this balance of power will inevitably be broken and the war situation will be unpredictable. This will violate Changsun Wuji's original intention and destroy his overall plan.
Changsun Wuji only felt that he was in a dilemma and was in a dilemma. Even with his decision to kill, it was difficult to make a choice...
While drinking tea and tapping his fingers subconsciously on the desk, Changsun Wuji couldn't make a decision for a long time amidst the sound of "clicking".
At this time, a scribe came in and delivered the battle report of Changsun Jiaqing.
Yuwenjie took it and presented it to Changsun Wuji with both hands.
Changsun Wuji put down the tea cup, opened the battle report and read ten lines, then slapped the battle report on the table, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Idiot!"
He had always respected his cousin Changsun Jiaqing, but today he couldn't help but feel angry.
Seeing Yu Wenjie's confused look, Changsun Wuji casually pointed to the battle report on the table and motioned to Yu Wenjie to read it himself.
Yu Wenjie picked up the battle report, read it carefully, clicked his tongue, and said nothing.
Above the battle report, the whole article is full of Zhangsun Jiaqing's words of credit, saying that the Youtun Guards wanted to use the "suspicious soldier's tactic" and mobilized the army all night, while he strictly ordered the troops under his command to deploy tightly and prepare for the battle. Be prepared, leaving no loopholes unnoticed. In the end, the Youtun Guards could not find any chance, so they could only withdraw their troops after a night of tossing, and then died down...
This was completely played by Fang Jun. If Changsun Jiaqing had been more enterprising, he would have discovered the bluff of Youtunwei. With the strength of Youtunwei, if he had attacked Changsun Jiaqing's troops, Changsun Jiaqing would have been well prepared. , it should be able to block the madness of Youtunwei. Behind him, the Guanlong troops stationed in Tonghua Gate and Chunming Gate can quickly rush to help. Although it is difficult to counterattack the Youtunwei camp, it can seriously dampen the enemy's spirit.
As a result, instead of being able to see through Fang Jun's plot, the eldest son Jiaqing was "drilled" by someone else's empty city plan all night long. As a result, Baqiao was attacked and morale went up and down.
Just like that, the eldest grandson Jiaqing actually had the nerve to claim credit, and Yu Wenjie was speechless...
However, the eldest son Jiaqing had a special status, and although he failed to see through Fang Jun's plot, he still had his position intact and his soldiers unharmed. He could not say that he had made any big mistakes, so it was not appropriate to issue instructions to him. Naturally, he, an outsider, had no room to interfere.
Changsun Wuji rubbed his temples and sighed: "In the final analysis, it is still because our Guanlong failed to train the children of the clan over the years, resulting in a shortage of talents. No one can step up in times of crisis, which makes it difficult to use."
For example, their eldest sons Wen and Yan, as well as Dou Dewei, Hou Mo and Chen Lin, usually show off their power and show their power, but they all find it difficult to shoulder important responsibilities. How could a person like Fang Jun end up in such a situation where no one can help him, and he had to revive old people like Changsun Heng'an and Changsun Jiaqing who had already handed over their military duties for many years?
The old man indeed used his troops calmly, but he was not enterprising enough. He did not seek merit but sought no fault, which resulted in the situation being repeatedly critical and falling into passivity...
After pondering for a long time, Changsun Wuji gave the order: "Order Sun Jiaqing's troops to move forward and suppress the Youtun guards. They cannot hide far away. The pressure is not enough. The Youtun guards can move calmly and do whatever they want. Fang Jun is very good at that. Military talent, random use of troops, often unexpected, so you have to keep an eye on them." Tactics such as the surprise attack on Baqiao are unexpected. If Fang Jun comes here from time to time, who can bear it? Come on?
