Chapter 3766: Go to the tent
Stepping into the Youtunwei camp, Master Sun Ren couldn't help but look around.
Today, the invincible army that the Tang Dynasty relies on to terrify all nations is already in decline. However, the surrounding countries and barbarians have been severely damaged by the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and they are no longer as powerful as they were at their peak. Therefore, almost every foreign war still ended with Datang winning.
But the decline of the Tang army is an indisputable fact.
Only a few armies still maintained their peak combat power, even standing out from the crowd, and Youtunwei was one of them.
Since Fang Jun was appointed by His Majesty Li Er as Minister of the Ministry of War and General of Youtunwei, and reorganized Youtunwei through the "recruitment system", this army has exploded into extremely powerful combat power. He accompanied Fang Jun's troops out of Baidao, overthrew Xue Yantuo, out of Hexi, defeated Tuyuhun, rushed to the Western Regions, and defeated the Shi army. Each of his achievements shocked the past and the present, and were praised all over the world.
Sure enough, after entering the camp, I saw along the way that soldiers and soldiers of two or more must march in formation, and people, horses, and vehicles all drive on the right side, so there is no risk of congestion. After just experiencing a great victory, the morale of the soldiers was high. The soldiers' backs were straight and their postures were proud. However, there were no random gatherings or loud noises, which shows the strict military discipline. The tents are arranged in an orderly manner, and the camp is clean and spacious. It is not at all like the chaos, busyness, and filth of ordinary military camps where tens of thousands of people gather together.
This is the style of a strong army, which ordinary armies cannot learn...
When they arrived outside the Chinese army's tent, the guards came inside and announced, then turned around and invited Master Sun Ren to come in.
Sun Renshi took a deep breath. He was about to face this world-famous figure who was full of legends and had impressive military exploits. He felt really nervous and excited at the same time...
Calm down your mind and step inside.
……
Fang Jun was sitting behind the desk, wearing a brocade robe, concentrating on reviewing official documents and military affairs. Master Sun Ren secretly took a look and saw that the "No. 1 Prince Consort in the World" had a clear and handsome face. His slightly dark complexion, instead of losing color, became more resolute and resolute. His eyebrows were thick and black, flying like a knife, and he had short hair on his lips. The mustache looks a little more mature and steady, and the back is straight and straight. Just sitting there, you can feel the majestic momentum of holding thousands of troops and horses in his hands, and raping prisoners in front of him.
He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Sun Renshi, the last general Zuo Yi and the captain of the guards, have met the commander!"
He did not call him by title, but by military rank. On the one hand, he was in a military camp, and on the other hand, he also vaguely hoped that Fang Jun would care more about his status as the commander of the army, and be a pure soldier instead of weighing the pros and cons. , the duke who is bent on pursuing his business.
Fang Jun did not even raise his head, and continued to attend to his official duties. He simply said lightly: "You are the captain of the Zuo Yi Guards, serving under Yu Wenlong, but you came to my commander's side. What do you want?"
Master Sun Ren knew that it was extremely difficult to impress people like Fang Jun. If he refused to take him in, he would have to cut off his military career and return to his hometown to become a farm servant.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to say anything, and said bluntly: "The last general came here today to give the commander an opportunity to settle the world and create immortal achievements."
Several soldiers in the tent held their waist knives and looked at Master Sun Ren like idiots.
In today's court, even if we include the founding ministers, how many people's achievements are firmly above Fang Jun's? In front of a distinguished military commander like Fang Jun, he boasts about his "unparalleled achievements". I don't know whether it is the ignorant who are fearless, or he is too thick-skinned to pretend to be shocking...
"Heh."
Fang Jun sneered, put down the brush, rubbed his wrist, raised his head, looked directly at Master Sun Ren, looked up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Pretending to do something amazing, either you are talented and unwilling to be inferior to others, or you speak nonsense and are shameless. Which one are you? ”
Master Sun Ren only felt a pressure coming towards him, and subconsciously felt that if he didn't handle it properly, he would most likely be pushed out and beheaded in the next moment...
A prominent person like Fang Jun is most afraid of others making false claims.
After collecting his mind, Master Sun Ren did not dare to talk nonsense and said bluntly: "More than 100,000 hedgehogs from the Guanlong rebels gathered around Chang'an, and many private troops from outside the Guan Dynasty entered Guan to help. With such a large number of soldiers and horses, the logistics became a burden A big problem. Previously, Changsun Wuji ordered the Guanlong clan to search for grain from all the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong. , and also asked the gatekeepers outside the pass to transport a large amount of grain and fodder into the pass, and store it all in the warehouse on the bank of the Cao River near the Yushi Altar outside the Jinguang Gate. If they could be burned, the grain of hundreds of thousands of rebels would be difficult to sustain for a month. The heart must be scattered, the power must be broken, and the East Palace can turn defeat into victory in a matter of seconds.”
A soldier next to him yelled: "Fart! Our commander had known that there was a large amount of grain stored in the warehouse outside Jinguang Gate, but the surrounding area was heavily guarded. It was impossible to break through, nor to attack by sneak attack."
"Are you too foolish to waste the commander's time by giving out such information that everyone knows? You just don't want to die."
"Commander, this guy is obviously a fool. He is teasing us. Just push him out and kill him with a knife!"
……
Fang Jun raised his hand to stop the noise of the soldiers. He glanced at Master Sun Ren, who was pretending to be calm, and felt that this was a famous general of his generation and would not be so stupid.
Then he asked: "How to get to the Rain Master Altar?"
Master Sun Ren had already made a plan, otherwise he would not have dared to surrender in such a grand manner in the morning: "Commander Mingjian, the last general is Colonel Zuo Yi, who has some relationship with the Yuwen family, so he has a badge and seal to enter and leave the camp." Shuai Ke sent a group of 100 soldiers, led by the last general, to sneak into the camp and set fire to the warehouse, and then escaped in the chaos."
Fang Jun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The fire will definitely attract Yu Wenlong's attention. How dare he neglect such a big thing? He will definitely send troops to block the surrounding area and surround the Yushi Altar. It will be very difficult to escape."
Isn't it easy? To describe it as a narrow escape from death is almost enough.
Since Caohe Bian's warehouse has stored so much grain, it must be under strict supervision. Even if Master Sun Ren can sneak in with people and successfully set the fire, he will not be able to retreat safely.
Sun Renshi looked a little excited and said loudly: "I have always had the ambition to reach the top. However, corruption is prevalent in the Guanlong army and the officers are nepotistic. Distant relatives like me, who are distant relatives of the Yuwen family, not only do not receive much care, but even suffer jealousy and hatred because of it. impossible to rely on I am promoted based on my military merit. This time I join the army of the Commander-in-Chief, and I would like to use the Burning Rain Master Altar as my pledge. If I am lucky enough to succeed and survive, I beg the Commander-in-Chief to take care of me. If I die in this battle, my fate will be like this. I cannot blame anyone, so I ask the Commander-in-Chief to help me! ”
Fang Jun was a little moved.
He had no doubt that this was Yu Wenlong's "countermeasure". There were only a hundred or so dead soldiers on the left and right. Even if they were all killed, it would not cause any harm to the Youtun Guards. Therefore, he believed that this was Master Sun Ren's underappreciated talent and his willingness to risk his wealth and life. Fight for a successful career.
He stood up, walked out from behind the desk and stood in front of Master Sun Ren. He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked down at Master Sun Ren, who was kneeling on one knee: "If it comes true, what are your requirements?"
Master Sun Ren said: "I have always heard that the commander-in-chief is strict in running the army. In the army, regardless of whether he comes from aristocratic or poor family, he is judged only by military merit. The generals in the end dare not ask for credit, and are willing to be a pawn. In the future, they will be promoted based on their military merit. All they want is fairness!"
He has full confidence in his abilities. All he lacks is a fair environment. As long as he can be guaranteed to be rewarded for his merits, he is satisfied and believes that he will be promoted based on his abilities.
Fang Jun laughed, raised his hand and patted Sun Renshi on the shoulder, and said warmly: "The way to run an army is nothing more than clear rewards and punishments. Since you have devoted yourself to the Youtun Guards and can successfully burn down the Yushi altar, how can I be stingy with rewards? ?I promise you here that if this matter succeeds, Unfortunately, you died in battle. I promise you a pension of 1,000 yuan, and your son can study in the academy. When he grows up, he can join Youtun Guard and become my personal soldier. If this succeeds and you come back alive, I will give you a deputy general. Position, as for the title, let’s worry about it later.”
Rewards for merit and punishment for demerits are as they should be.
Fang Jun has always been fair and impartial, without any favoritism, let alone a talent like Sun Renshi who has left his name in history?
Unexpectedly, Sun Renshi just smiled faintly: "Thank you for your kindness. I can get this promise from your commander. I will die with no regrets! It's just that both of my parents have died, and I haven't gotten married yet. I am alone. This is after my son is allowed to study in the academy." Can the reward be valid until the future? ”
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice: "Then it depends on your own ability! There is absolutely no incompetent person under my command!"
Then he said to the soldiers on the side: "Command the officers of the lieutenant general and above, no matter where they are or what they are busy with at the moment, to come to the big tent to discuss the matter immediately. Anyone who delays will be dealt with according to military law!"
"Here!"
After receiving the order, several soldiers immediately turned around and trotted away. They took the horses and flew up, and galloped to convey the command.
Fang Jun asked Sun Renshi to stand up and went to the map hanging on the wall with him to introduce the plan to him in detail.
I don’t stay up late watching Barcelona football games anymore, it’s pretty good~~ Life is like this, with ups and downs of gains and losses, and then everything falls silent and finally nothingness.
