Chapter 4395 Opportunity for reversal
Fang Jun drank tea calmly: "I am here to take command, but the general will not obey your orders. All you have to do is listen to my orders."
Gao Kan and Wang Fangyi looked at each other, relatively speechless.
You are now within the Wude Gate, less than a hundred feet away from the Wude Hall, and the emperor's will can arrive in an instant. So do you have any misunderstandings about the sentence "The general will not obey the emperor's orders"?
Fang Jun is not worried about Li Chengqian's "mischief". Even if someone really instigates the release of the reserve team for a decisive battle in advance, Li Ji is still there. In terms of military strategy, even compared to Li Jing, he will not make more concessions. He will never see Li Chengqian being confused. But you didn't say a word?
"If the reserve team does not move, the morale of the whole army will be stable. When the situation is not urgent, they can still fight bravely to defend the palace. When the reserve team moves, it will indicate a critical moment of life and death. The rebels must be completely defeated with the force of thunder." Crush it, otherwise morale will be low, military morale will be disorganized, and it may be a complete defeat.”
"Don't worry, Commander, we know."
Gao Kan quickly agreed.
Youtunwei has been on the battlefield for a long time and has made great achievements in battle. It can be said that it is invincible and invincible in every battle. It has long cultivated the soldiers' full confidence in the general, but no one dares to disobey when ordered. As long as the reserve team remains there to ignite the situation, the entire army will know that the commander is confident. The decisive battle is far away, the situation is not in a state of decay, and the morale of the army is stable and morale is high.
When the reserve force is mobilized, the soldiers in the army will understand that the moment of decisive battle has come, and they will burst out with all their strength to kill the enemy bravely. However, once they are unable to defeat the rebels in one go, they will naturally weaken again and again, until the army's morale is weakened and Morale collapsed and they could no longer fight.

When they left the city under the cover of the captain of Kaiyuanmen who had already bribed him in disguise, Yu Wenshiji received the news that Cheng Yaojin had left Mingdemen for Xianyang Bridge. He immediately looked at the heavy rain and sighed, feeling quite discouraged. Leng wanted to give up the task of uniting the garrisons in Guanlong and Guanlong for the king of Jin, and just lay down.
Although he is not familiar with military affairs, his strategy is not bad at all. Naturally, he can see the huge impact of Cheng Yaojin's move. As long as Cheng Yaojin arrives at Xianyang Bridge and insists on holding on, no matter how he fights with Lotus, it will be impossible Convince those troops to rush to Chang'an to support the King of Jin.
Cheng Yaojin was in charge of the pass. If he wanted to cross the Xianyang Bridge, he would have to pay a huge price. The most important thing would be a lot of delay, and this much time would be enough for Li Jing to lead the Sixth Army of the East Palace into Chang'an to quell the rebels.
Once the mutiny failed and the King of Jin had his hands tied, what was the point of sending more troops to Chang'an?
Not only does it not help the matter, but it makes His Majesty angry and creates trouble for the future. Even a fool would not do it...
However, when the situation reached this point, he had no choice but to retreat if he wanted to.
Since the King of Jin raised his army, the Guanlong Clan has put all its resources into a desperate move. Once the King of Jin is defeated, the Guanlong Clan will suffer more than just suppression and withdrawal from the court. Countless people will swarm against the Guanlong Clan. During the liquidation, they pounced on them like vicious dogs and tore the Guanlong family into pieces, then divided up the industry accumulated over hundreds of years and completely exterminated all the Guanlong descendants.
There may be a glimmer of hope for Yu Chigong and his ilk, but for the Guanlong clan, victory means life, defeat means death, and there is absolutely no room for change.
Fortunately, it is not the end of the road. Maybe Cheng Yaojin is in a state of temptation this time as before? As long as Cheng Yaojin is not determined to surrender to His Majesty and stick to Xianyang Bridge at all costs, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Wenshiji braced himself, said goodbye to the guarding captain, boarded the carriage surrounded by more than a dozen servants, and headed straight for Xi County.
Chang'an is two hundred miles away from Yi County. Fortunately, the official road is flat and the road is smooth. Although it rained heavily, it did not delay the journey too much. The carriages and horses were rolling, and the group of people galloped all the way. They left Chang'an before dawn and fell into a trap. When we arrived in Yi County, we were already close friends.
The carriage did not enter the city, but bypassed the city and drove directly to the military camp where the sloping water flows into the Wei River in the west of the city.
Xi County is not far from Chencang. Because the existence of Chencang Road connects Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Shuzhong and is an important transportation route, troops have been stationed in Xi County since the Sui and Tang Dynasties to prepare for emergencies and guard the gateway to Guanzhong.
The leader of this army of more than 20,000 people is Li Huaiqin, King Hui of Nanyang...
……
The founding emperor created the world with one surname, which benefited his descendants and extended blessings to generations to come. Therefore, after his death, most of his temple names were "Taizu", which means "the ancestor of one surname", and he was admired by generations. However, after Li Yuan's death, his temple name was "Gaozu", and his father Li Min was given the temple name "Shizu" posthumously. His grandfather Li Hu's temple name was "Taizu"...
Because when Li Yuan died, His Majesty Li Er convened ministers and clan members to discuss the name of the temple. Everyone believed that the Li family originated from the time of Li Hu. Li Hu, one of the "Eight Pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty", founded the Li family. Only then did the Li family become as prosperous as it is today. Even the country's name "Tang" was the "Tang Guogong" after the death of Li Hu and the "Emperor Wu" Yu Wenyong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Li family flourished here.
In fact, as early as the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Li Hao, the seventh generation ancestor of Li Yuan, established "Xiliang" and called himself "King of Xiliang". A few years later, he proclaimed himself emperor in Xiliang, making him the first Li family in history. Emperor, but because it was too old and the Li family collapsed after the collapse of "Xiliang" and almost lost its foundation, it did not affect future generations.
The real rise of the Li Tang lineage was in Li Hu's generation...
Li Bing, the son of Li Hu, first served in the Western Wei Dynasty and was granted the title of founding uncle of Ruyang County. He became a regular servant of Tongzhi Sanqi and a general of chariots and cavalry. He married the daughter of the great Sima Duguxin. The ritual is the same as the three divisions and the servant. After the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because Yu Wenyong posthumously named his father "Tang Guogong", Li Bing also inherited the title and was awarded the title of Yu Zhengzhong. He served as the general of Zhuguo, Shaobao, governor of the military affairs of the eight states, and general manager of Anzhou. Pour for a while.
Li Bing had four legitimate sons, all of whom were born to the Dugu family. However, the eldest son Li Cheng died young and never gave birth to an heir. Although the second son Li Zhan and the third son Li Hong were adults and had heirs, they also died after their father Li Bing. In the past, by the time of Li Bing's death, only the fourth son, Li Yuan, was left among the four legitimate sons. Therefore, although Li Yuan was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son, he inherited the title and inherited the family business.
The second son Li Zhan's son Li Boyi, King Gong of Longxi, and Li Fengci, King Jing of Bohai, and the third son Li Hong's son Li Huaiqin, King Hui of Nanyang...
Li Boyi, Li Fengci, and Li Huaiqin are not the heirs of Li Yuan, but they have a special status within the clan, because if their father had not died early, the title of "Tang Guogong" would most likely have been inherited by one of them, even if it may not be the same as Li Yuan's. Just like in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, he created a new country and unified the world. In the future, he could also create a career and pass it on to his descendants.
……
Xieshui originates from the Qinling Mountains in the south. It flows northward in a mighty force and flows into the Wei River on the north side of Yixian County. It rained heavily last night and the river swelled. Countless tree branches, leaves and small animal corpses were floating and sinking in the turbid river water. The narrower parts even overflowed the river embankment, flooding the ocean with water.
Li Huaiqin's Chinese army tent was set up on a high ground not far from the river bank. It was ventilated on all sides and protected from the river water. The tent was dozens of steps wide with fluttering flags and gorgeous decorations, making it as grand and majestic as a walking palace...
When Yuwen Shiji was led into the tent by the school captain, he smelled a strong aroma, and the burning charcoal basin in the tent was filled with hot air, which further fumigated the aroma to the heart and made his mind dizzy.
Looking up, I saw a middle-aged man with his bare chest showing a tuft of chest hair. He had a fairly broad body and fair skin covered with fat. He had a square face that was rosy and full of alcohol. He stretched out his arms to hug a pretty girl. Among the boys, one of them put a grape into the middle-aged man's mouth with his orchid fingers raised.
The military discipline of the Tang Dynasty was very strict, and no women were allowed to accompany the army in the camp, otherwise it would be a serious crime, but it didn't matter if there were two "Rabbit Masters" who were charming and slim but had a flat chest.
It is said that Princess Danyang's consort, Wu'an County Duke Xue Wanche, is fond of this way...
Yu Wenshi stepped forward and bowed his head to the ground: "I have seen the prince, and he is more elegant than before. I am very happy and congratulated."
Li Huaiqin was still sitting with his majestic posture, his drunken eyes seemed to be open and closed, and his gaze was looming. He left Yu Wenshi there for a long time. The captain who was standing beside him hesitated to step forward to remind him, and then spit out a mouthful of wine. gas , said slowly: "You old guy came to the door for no reason, and you must be up to no good. If we go by the usual rules, I will beat you out, but I am in a good mood today, and I will not be acquainted with you. Without courtesy, please take a seat."
< br>
"Thank you, Prince."
Yu Wenshiji breathed a sigh of relief. This prince had a surly temperament and was irritable. Even heroes like His Majesty Li Er were quite troubled. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief to guard Xi County. In fact, he was imprisoned in the county. This is to avoid any trouble.
If we don’t give him the face of the Duke of Ying and the leader of Guanlong, there’s really nothing we can do...
But this man not only holds 20,000 elite soldiers, but also has an extraordinary identity. If he can be won over, the entire Guanzhong will be shaken, and the situation will be very different from before.
Of course, this person has an unruly personality, and his thoughts are often different from those of ordinary people. He is really difficult to control, so he did not try to persuade him before. Now he has no choice but to face the difficulties.
Yuwen Shiji stepped on the bright red Persian carpet, walked to the table beside him, knelt down and sat down. Li Huaiqin patted a "Rabbit" in his arms and licked his lips. The "Rabbit" stood up and picked up the gold on the table. He picked up the wine pot and walked up to Yuwen Shiji with "light steps" and "curling". A smell of incense hit his nose. Yuwen Shiji sniffed and tried not to sneeze.
"Master Rabbit" held the pot and filled a large wine bottle, and said in a "sweet voice": "Your Majesty gives you wine, Duke Ying, please drink."
Yu Wenshiji looked at the large wine bottle with half a catty of wine on the table next to him. He felt bitter in his heart, but a spring breeze blew on his face: "Thank you, the prince, for the wine!"
He picked up the wine bottle, took a deep breath, and drank it all. (End of chapter)
