Chapter 3980 Aim high
Li Chengqian observed his words and saw that Fang Jun's expression did not seem to be hypocritical. He was not dissatisfied with the fact that he had handed over all the military power in the East Palace to Li Jing. He felt relieved immediately, but also felt a little guilty.
When he was at his most unbearable and depressed, almost deposed, falling into the abyss, and doomed, Fang Jun stood resolutely at that time when the government and the public were indifferent, regardless of angering his father and disdainful of the cold eyes of the world. On the East Palace side, the support was clearly expressed.
He still remembered that at that time, he was uneasy and trembling all day long. At night, he and the Crown Princess hugged each other and cried in the East Palace. He was afraid that after dawn, his father's imperial edict to abolish the crown prince would come, and perhaps a glass of poisonous wine would arrive with him. , or three feet of white silk...
Be in constant panic all day long.
It was precisely after experiencing such difficult days that he knew how to appreciate the hard-won current situation. When a minister as brilliant and talented as Fang Jun openly expresses his support for him as the prince, it is like a warm sun suddenly falling in the cloudy weather, letting him know that he is not a useless and worthless prince that everyone despises. , the warmth and joy in my heart are beyond description in words.
From then on, he trusted Fang Jun, obeyed his advice, and secretly vowed never to betray him in order to repay Fang Jun's kindness in times of trouble.
Not to mention that it was all thanks to Fang Jun that he was able to reverse the situation and turn defeat into victory at the hands of the Guanlong rebels...
In Li Chengqian's heart, there were countless civil servants and generals in the court, and none of them had a higher status than Fang Jun in his heart.
But in order to deal with the current crisis, he cannot be blindly emotional. In terms of charging into battle, Fang Jun may be brave and unstoppable, but now he needs to strategize and deploy troops, and his opponent is Li Ji, the invincible "Second Second" with great achievements and great achievements. "God of War", only Li Jing can take on the important role.
Fortunately, Fang Jun was still open-minded and not good at taking power, so he was not dissatisfied, otherwise it would be very difficult for him to be the prince...
……
Liu Ji watched the interaction between the prince and Fang Jun from the sidelines. He was inevitably a little disappointed when he saw that the prince was full of apologies and Fang Jun was free and generous. He did not feel bad because Li Jing was in charge of the military power of the East Palace and took full responsibility. He has always firmly supported the prince, and he did not hesitate to take huge risks for this. However, it is obvious that he is still far behind Fang Jun. If he wants to surpass Fang Jun's status in the prince's heart, he has a long way to go...
However, there is no need to be discouraged. As long as the prince successfully ascends the throne and the powerful families from Shandong and Jiangnan enter the court, he, as a servant who is outside the influence of the two powerful families, will gradually be recognized and reused by the prince. Over time, he may not be able to achieve what Du Ruhui did. , Fang Xuanling’s achievements.
*****
When Fang Jun left the city from Xuanwu Gate, a drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the fine rainwater fell down in strands, hitting his face with a refreshing coolness.
Looking back at the brightly lit towers of the Xuanwu Gate, I thought that the prince rarely showed strength in the battle, but in the end it inevitably turned into a futile effort. I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Time is also destiny."
Although His Royal Highness the Prince, who is famous in history, is not amazingly talented, he is not as absurd, cowardly and paranoid as the history books exaggerate. He is just sandwiched between a rare peerless emperor father and a group of people. A little mediocre between the outstanding brothers.
In fact, for the emperor, mediocrity is not necessarily a shortcoming. On the contrary, almost all the subjugated kings in history who were angry and carried out tyranny were smart, amazing and talented. Some people always find it difficult to put their own Use wisdom in serious places...
Of course, if Fang Jun was living in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and only wanted to be a high official and rich in the world, he only had to hold on to Li Er's thigh and follow suit, and place a bet with Li Zhi in advance. Naturally, his life would go smoothly and he would be more glorious. Live in peace and enjoy wealth.
But he always feels a bit unwilling in his heart, and he prides himself on being a person with high aspirations...
Now that we have come to this era, now that we have the power we have now, we don’t want to live in a muddle for the rest of our lives. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will still be dominated by clans and tyrants, and the military will cause trouble. It dragged the dynasty into the abyss at its peak, and eventually fell apart and fell apart, making every descendant of China regretful.
His Majesty Li Er has realized that the clan is the source of disaster for the country, and has begun to subtly promote the strategy of weakening the clan. However, he relies on the clan to seize and conquer the world, and he is the largest clan in the world. There are naturally too many constraints in the implementation of various policies. , struggling.
If he wanted to suppress powerful families, support poor families, bring military and political power back to the central government, and make government orders enforceable throughout the world, Fang Jun could only choose Li Chengqian, who had a gentle personality.
Within thirty years, it may be possible to suppress the power of the clan to the lowest level without shaking the foundation of the empire, turning it from a "family" with real power to a "noble family" with only a false name and no real power...
However, the gangsters in the Guanlong clan were so bold that a mutiny shattered all plans.
Up to now, the Guanlong clan is still alive, the families in Hedong have suffered heavy losses, and the most powerful clans in the world have suffered heavy losses. This was originally in line with the national policy formulated by His Majesty Li Er, even though the clans of Shandong and Jiangnan entered the DPRK to fill the gap. The power gap left by Long was not easy to build the momentum that Guan Long had back then.
This is a good opportunity for the central government to gather power and further weaken the clan.
However, people are not saints, and the interests of the empire are always lower than their own interests. No matter how wise a person is, he will make a fool of himself in a certain matter or at a certain moment, regardless of whether he will go his own way or miss a good situation...
Travelers are not omnipotent. Apart from watching all this happen, Fang Jun is making small moves in private. He can only go with the general trend. If he has the thought of using his arms as a chariot, he is afraid that he will be crushed to pieces in an instant and his bones will not be left.
The soldiers in front of the camp gate had already seen their commander returning from Xuanwu Gate and quickly moved away the Juma and Luzhai placed in front of the camp. Fang Jun, surrounded by his own soldiers, rode straight in and arrived at the Chinese army tent.
After entering the account, he washed his hands and washed his face, took off his cloak, sat at the desk holding a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and ordered: "Calling the lieutenants and generals here, I have a military order to issue."
Then he got up and went to the map hanging on the wall to check the situation.
"Here!"
The personal soldiers took the order and sent several people to go to various places in the camp to convey the general's orders.
In less than half a cup of tea, military lieutenants and generals arrived one after another. The tents were filled with clanging leaves. Everyone stood in awe, looking at Fang Jun, who was standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, waiting for him to give orders.
Fang Junzai carefully observed the map, used a pen to outline the current positions of each army, and deduced the possible movements of each army. Then he turned around and looked around the crowd with bright eyes: "Actually, There is nothing to arrange. You are all famous generals in hundreds of battles. Naturally, you should know where the enemy is. What should I pay attention to? I don't want to be verbose. As long as the troops are not on guard at the moment, all the scouts will be released. From now on, I will be aware of any movements around Chang'an. Whenever more than ten people are mobilized in each army, the battle report must be submitted in a timely manner. Can I do it?”
After talking about it, his voice was stern and he looked at Wang Fangyi, who is now responsible for commanding all the scouts of Youtun Guard...
Wang Fangyi's thin body was high with his chest and belly, his face was full of excitement, and he said with great energy: "I will obey the general's order!"
As the saying goes, "Information comes first before the soldiers and horses are moved." The ability of the scouts in the army largely represents the combat power of the army. An invincible and invincible army must have an outstanding scout team. Wang Fangyi was filled with excitement. As long as he could lead his scouts to perform well in this war, he would be fully recognized by the commander-in-chief, become an effective general under the commander-in-chief, and be promoted and reused.
In the past, most of the commander-in-chief's capable men are now guarding one side, such as Liu Rengui, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian... Just think about Wang Fangyi, a guy who once climbed on ice and snow in the Western Regions and saw no future, one day he will be among these. Among the rising stars in the military, there was a lot of pride and excitement.
Fang Jun was very satisfied with Wang Fangyi's condition, nodded slightly, and then clapped his hands to encourage morale: "Keep your eyes wide open. When the prince leaves the city tomorrow, if any party dares to make a treasonous and unethical move, you must fight bravely and take action." Annihilate! Don’t worry about Zuo Wuwei’s reputation, he just insulted the Goguryeo barbarians in Liaodong. The British army is said to be hundreds of thousands, but it is definitely not that many, and they are all a mob. No one is our opponent!”
The discipline of the army is learned through training, but morale is created through fighting. An army that fights in all directions and is invincible has in its bones the domineering and unruly spirit of looking down on the world and being the only one to dominate the world. It will be confident in the face of any powerful enemy. hundred times.
He believed that the army he had built possessed such qualities that it had the confidence and ambition to defeat any enemy it faced.
"Must win!"
The generals in the tent responded loudly and stood up, their morale rising to a strong peak in an instant.
What about Zuo Wuwei?
What about the British public?
I fought all over the world and conquered all directions. Even the powerful armies of the world such as Turks, Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun and Dashi were defeated one by one. Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji had another egg?
Our right guard is an elite player!
Fang Jun stepped forward and patted the shoulders of his generals one by one, and said with a smile: "Relax a little, as long as you have this spirit. It is said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but our Youtun Guards have always won battles, why can't we be proud?" ? We are not only proud, but also disdainful of others! We will all watch our soldiers perform their duties and perform their duties well. ”
"Here!"
The generals accepted the order with a bang and retreated one after another.
Fang Jun returned to the desk and sat down. He took a sip from the tea cup and found that the tea was already lukewarm. He was about to ask his soldiers to make a pot of strong tea. The soldiers had already entered and reported: "Commander Qi, Princess Changle Ask for a meeting.”(End of this chapter)
