Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2042 Although there are thousands of people, I will go

Fang Jun was born in the new society and grew up under the red flag. He is a good young man with "ideals, morality, culture, and discipline".

He is patriotic and an angry youth, but he lacks "loyalty to the emperor", the most popular moral sentiment in Tang society.

He respects His Majesty Li Er, and even worships him, but if he wants to give birth to the idea that "the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die", that is absolutely impossible.

This world is not a world of one family, but a world of people in the world. He will not blindly follow some people and miss the opportunity to eradicate powerful enemies for some illusory ideals. He is willing to see Goryeo swallow the suffering of the country, However, he always believed that Xue Yantuo and Huihe were the real confidants that could endanger the stability of the Tang regime and the development of the country.

Standing on the cloud of history, he can overlook all beings and predict the future...

At this moment, Fang Jun frowned and stood in front of the map, observing the mountains and rivers with his eyes, but he was thinking about how far this battle should be fought, or in other words, the emperor and the court could tolerate him fighting this battle to the extreme. to what extent.

The preparations for the Eastern Expedition to this day are not only the emperor's selfish desires to achieve his own great cause. Hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized from various military offices, and countless food and supplies have been confiscated from all over the world, all of which are gathered in Youying. The power of the whole country is intended to defeat Goguryeo in the first battle, and bring its territory under the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a national war.

Xue Yantuo's tens of thousands of cavalry led by Dadushe crossed Eyang Ridge and arrived at Yanmen Pass. No matter whether he covets Yanmen Pass or not, Yanmen Pass is an insurmountable pass for him, and it will be a matter of time before he retreats.

As for whether the Turkic people were slaughtered at Yanmen Pass, Fang Jun didn't care at all...

Xue Wanche had already led You Wuwei to intercept Dadu's back route on Eyang Ridge. Once Dadu retreated, he would plunge into You Wuwei's position.

It doesn't matter whether Youwuwei can compete for full success and wipe out Dadushi's entire army. Xue Wanche has already led the Youtunwei to occupy Baidaokou and tightly control the entrance of Baidaochuan. Struggling to create a bloody path amidst the siege, Baidaokou will inevitably become his burial place.

Fang Jun is not clear about the combat power of Youwuwei, but he has full confidence in the Youtunwei under his command.

According to the current situation, there is no doubt that Dadu will die, and the tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo cavalry under his command will also be buried with him.

But after destroying Dadushe, should he go northward and cross Baidaochuan, taking advantage of the emptiness inside Xue Yantuo, and go straight to Dujun Mountain?
Fang Jun hesitated...

If he went north from Baidaochuan, captured Wuchuan Town, and wiped out Xue Yantuo's stronghold nailed at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, he could drive straight into the grasslands and deserts for thousands of miles.As long as he can go straight to the Yudu Army Mountain, even if Xue Yantuo will not be overthrown, he will suffer heavy losses and his national strength will be weakened. It will not pose a threat to Datang within ten years.

Even if Yinan Khan survived, a split Xueyantuo Khanate would not be able to threaten the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition.

If the war goes well, it will be even more ideal to reach the barracks of the Yinan Khan and destroy the Xueyantuo Khanate.

However, if you don't think about victory, you think about defeat first. What if you can't go straight to Yudujun Mountain?
Although the furious Yinan Khan did not dare to directly send troops to attack the city of Datang, it is entirely possible to secretly send troops to support Goguryeo and take revenge on Datang.

In that case, the situation of the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition will definitely cast a shadow.

Xue Yantuo's iron cavalry is not comparable to the fighting power of Goryeo Bangzi...

The most terrible thing is that at that time, no matter what the outcome of the Eastern Expedition is, Fang Jun will inevitably become a sinner who disrupts the national policy.

The pot is too big, Fang Jun doesn't want to carry it...

After pondering for a long time, Fang Jun gritted his teeth and called the soldiers outside the door: "General Dugu, please come over."

"Here!"

The soldiers led away, and after a while, Dugu Shouzhong hurried over: "What do you want to order, Commander?"

Fang Jun said: "Immediately go north to Baidaokou. If Dadu sets up a rout and flees there, he should lead the army to destroy it! This Mayi city will be entrusted to the general, and must be strictly guarded. Don't be negligent. Beware of Dadu setting up a dog in a hurry to jump over the wall and faint." Head up, come to attack the city."

Dugu Shouzhong wondered: "Is it possible that Dadu is insane? Mayi is stationed in heavy troops, and everyone in the north knows that even if he can escape the interception of the upper right Wuwei in Eyanglin, how dare he come here? The general thought, Rather, the defense of Dingxiang City should be strengthened, after all, General Xue Rengui is now leading troops to garrison at Baidaokou, Dingxiang City is tantamount to becoming one, and if it is set up to attack Dingxiang City, it will definitely fall."

That magnanimous design is not stupid, how can you not go to Dingxiang City, which is empty of troops, and instead come to Mayi?
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "In the battle of Eiyangling, no matter what the battle situation is, Dadu will inevitably become a bird of fright. At that time, people's thinking is different from usual. The more empty Dingxiang City is, the more he dare not go , for fear of falling into our trap, so Dadu set up only two choices, either run away and go straight to Baidaokou, trying to return to Mobei, or break the can and smash, trying to attack Mayi, and stab us severely .”

Dugu Shouzhong is also a battle-tested general. He fought several small battles with Xue Yantuo from time to time. He knew Xue Yantuo well. After thinking about it, he felt that Fang Jun's analysis made sense, so he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Commander The general will swear to defend Mayi to the death, the city is alive and the people are alive, the city is broken and the people are dead!"

In fact, he still has some doubts in his heart...

Xue Rengui only took away [-]% of the troops of the Youtun Guards. Now there are no less than [-] cavalry in Mayi City, and there are more than [-] infantry and auxiliary soldiers of various types. These troops are enough to defend Mayi City. Come, you will definitely be able to leave it under the city of Mayi.

Why did they take all of them to Baidaokou?
His thoughts turned, and he sucked in a breath of cold air, and asked in a low voice: "Marshal, do you intend to go straight out of the white road and insert yourself into Mobei..."

Fang Jun was a little surprised, the guard of Mayi was not low in vigilance.

He didn't hide it either, and said: "You know what I know, don't spread it."

Dugu Shouzhong looked at the unbelievably young handsome man in front of him, speechless.

This is a big deal!

Although Xue Yantuo is currently invading the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he is not coming for the Tang army in the final analysis. A sniper battle at Eyangling, or even a fierce battle at Baidaokou, can be said to be fought by the Tang army to wipe out the invading enemy bandits.

The fight really started, but it was under the tolerance of both sides. Whoever loses will apologize at that time, that is the matter of Honglu Temple.

But straight out that Bai Daobing came to Mobei, it was not just revenge, it was a Khan's tooth tent directed at Du Junshan!

Dugu Shouzhong's head was sweating, and he hurriedly pulled Fang Fangjun, and dissuaded him: "Erlang, think twice! You must not start a full-scale war with Xue Yantuo right now, otherwise the barbarian Khan will very likely take advantage of my big brother in the east in a fit of anger. If something happens during Tang’s Eastern Expedition, it’s even possible to directly send troops to aid Goguryeo! Once the battle situation is like this, the responsibility rests with Erlang, and no matter how much His Majesty favors and trusts you, it’s impossible to tolerate someone sabotaging the Eastern Expedition plan!”

More than His Majesty Li Er?
At present, the entire Tang Dynasty regards the Eastern Expedition as a gluttonous feast of meritorious service. This is the best and almost the last opportunity to make large-scale contributions. Whoever dares to sabotage the Eastern Expedition is an enemy of the entire military. !
All the forces were furious, and even Fang Jun had to be torn to pieces...

It is unwise to be so reckless.

Fang Jun felt a little moved...

This Dugu Shouzhong is a child of an aristocratic family, and it is almost instinctive for the children of the aristocratic family to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is extremely rare to be able to say such sincere words in front of him.

"Everyone in the world knows that the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is the best time to seize meritorious service, but no one sees the threats and hidden dangers that Xue Yantuo brought to the Tang Dynasty. Xue Yantuo unified Tiele's tribes and incorporated them into the Khanate, forming a powerful force Extreme power. Right now, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and mighty, but the tiger will also take a nap. Once the national power of the Tang Dynasty weakens and the combat effectiveness of the army decreases, the power gathered by the Xue Yantuo people will become a serious threat to the Tang Dynasty. Even if Xue Yantuo is weak, There will definitely be the rise of Huihe and other tribes. At that time, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty will become a land for the Hu people to herd horses, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will become slaves bullied by the Hu people. The beautiful mountains and rivers will let the Hu people come and go freely , what can I do?"

Seeing Fang Jun's upright face and sonorous tone, Dugu Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, a little dazed...

As the children of the family, they have always been the number one in the family, whether they live or die, they are all for the prosperity of the family and the reproduction of the blood.

Words such as "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" are probably only seen in ancient books...
