Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2455

As Lu Dongzan said these words, his dark, hard and wrinkled face was full of resentment.

If it is as expected, all kinds of accidents and tribulations along the way are all plotted by this bastard in front of him, how can he not be angry?

Therefore, there are not many scruples between speaking and speaking, and the anger is about to burst out.

Fang Jun raised his hand and scratched his eyebrows. It was somewhat embarrassing to be accused in person like this...

He reached out and took out a small silver wine jug from a grid on the wall of the carriage, took out some candied fruits, poured a glass of wine for Lu Dongzan, and said, "Seeing that the prime minister is full of dust, the journey seems You have suffered a lot, and you are not too young, so why not stay in Tubo and enjoy the blessings? You have to travel thousands of miles to come to Chang'an, and you can't help but toss about your body."

Lu Dongzan kept his back straight and didn't drink alcohol. He said with a sneer, "If the horses startled and the boats capsized, causing the old man to bury his bones in the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it hit Fang Erlang's heart?"

Fang Jun smiled wryly and said: "Look at what you said, although the two of us are our own masters, we have always had a good friendship. Who in Chang'an knows that a certain Fang treats his friends with sincerity and sincerity?"

Ignoring Lu Dongzan's disdainful face, he changed the subject and said, "...but then again, I have guessed in my heart about the intention of the Prime Minister's visit this time. Although I can't fully understand Tubo's request, it must be Tang Dynasty It is extremely embarrassing. It is neither easy to agree nor to refuse. After all, the two countries are separated by a strip of water and are friendly neighbors, so it is unavoidable to refuse... But you are obviously taking advantage of the fire to take advantage of it, and it will hurt your peace if you refuse. It would be better for you to have some accident in the middle, so it will be much easier. But you can rest assured that according to our friendship, we will surely build a grave for Daxiang and set up a monument, so that the people of Tang Dynasty I will always remember my friendship with you."

Whoa!Lu Dongzan laughed angrily: "In that case, don't I have to thank Erlang?"

Fang Jun sighed, and said: "That's not necessary, after all, haven't you rushed to Chang'an in full swing? I'm afraid you won't be able to use your intentions for a while, hey, the sky has no eyes!"

Lu Dongzan: "..."

His teeth were clenched, his temples were throbbing, and he wished he could jump up and strangle this bastard to death.

Is this really human?
Even if I really have bad intentions in coming to Chang'an this time, after all, this is a competition between the two countries, and has nothing to do with personal friendship. Fortunately, I used to think that you, Fang Erlang, are a person worthy of friendship because of your bright heart, but unexpectedly, you are so small-minded, The mind is vicious.

"Humph!"

Lu Dongzan snorted angrily, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

The wine was not strong, and the throat was soft and mellow. Lu Dong praised his mouth, picked up a piece of preserved fruit and chewed it in his mouth, and said: "Now the Western Regions are under the control of your country, but regarding the situation on the side of the Great Food Kingdom, you are not sure what to do." However, they lack sufficient understanding. Today’s Arab caliph is a follower of the Prophet Muhammad, his son-in-law, and his most loyal and closest comrade-in-arms. To spread the faith of the Prophet to every inch of the place where the sun shines, to conquer all dissidents with horses and scimitars, and his nephew, Mu'awiyah, Governor of Damascus, is his crazy admirer and most fanatical minion. Murderous and greedy."

He stared at Fang Jun with deep and bright eyes, and said slowly: "The strength of the Arabs is beyond Erlang's imagination. Not only are they strong and strong, but they are also willing to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs. In their eyes, death is only Just returning to the Prophet's side, that is their ideal destination, and failure is the most intolerable shame. The Anxi Army is indeed strong, but there are few major generals, if they face it head-on, the only way to lose is."

He felt that the entire Tang Dynasty did not know how powerful the Arabs are today, and a solemn warning must be given to increase the bargaining chip in the negotiations between the two countries.

However, contrary to his expectations, Fang Jun's expression was as usual, and he seemed not surprised at the arrogance of the Arabs. Instead, he leisurely picked up the flagon and poured wine, and said with a smile: "If there are any more Tubo people blocking the way, then Anxi What the army has to face is the unfavorable situation of driving tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door, and it is even close to desperation, right?"

Lu Dongzan took his filled wine glass, nodded and said: "That's right, so I also ask Erlang to advise His Majesty the Emperor that he consider forming an alliance with Tubo. returned to Damascus."

Fang Jun took a sip of the wine, sipped it, savored it carefully, and after a long time, he said with a smile: "The Prime Minister has come to understand the culture of the Han people, but he never thought that he only knew the superficial aspects and failed to understand the essence of the culture of the Han people."

Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"

Fang Jun let go of the wine cup and turned it around in his heart, and said slowly: "The dynasty of the Han people has always boasted of being a state of etiquette. If you don’t come to kill our children, don’t come to rob our land, then we are friends, and for friends, we will provide good food and wine, hospitality, and if a friend is in trouble, we will not be stingy in helping. But, for Those ambitious enemies, the Han people will never bow their knees. Even if you can be strong for a while, the Han people will also try their best to accumulate strength until they defeat you! Rampaging beyond the Great Wall... The Han people have suffered so much humiliation from this barbarian, and they were even invaded into the capital, almost destroying the country. However, without exception, the Han people still occupy the Central Plains where their ancestors lived and multiplied for generations, and the grassland beyond the Great Wall used to be The wild Hu who was once fierce and invincible has changed one crop after another. The dog army is like this, the Huns are like this, the Turks are like this, Xue Yantuo is like this, even Tubo... Sorry, it’s still the same."

He looked at Lu Dongzan with burning eyes, and said word by word: "In today's Tang Dynasty, millions of troops are arrogant, even if the Western Regions are lost, so what's the matter? In ancient times, there were 36 people from Banchao who swept the Western Regions, but today there are tens of thousands of Li Ji." The army wiped out all the countries. Even if the Western Regions are lost today, tomorrow there will be millions of tigers marching westward. What about the Arabs? Bear the price that he absolutely cannot bear!"

The tone is magnificent, and the words are sonorous!
Lu Dongzan's face was extremely ugly, he felt the pride from the heart of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the audacity of contempt for the world!
"I admire Erlang's bravery and fearlessness. But the Tang Dynasty is not your Tang Dynasty. Above the court, the interests sought are much more complicated. Even if Erlang remonstrates with death, it is difficult to guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will be determined." Abandon the Western Regions heartily."

The implication is that according to your current prestige and status, you are not yet able to control the court, and there will always be different voices.

Besides, who knows if the emperor will be as you think?
Fang Jun smiled, nodded and said: "The Prime Minister is right. This situation is indeed possible. However, if it is true, then a certain person will immediately resign from all official positions and go to the Western Regions alone to recruit soldiers and train them into an army. Fighting for supremacy in the battlefield, competing with the Tubo people! Always bury the bones in the Western Regions, and I will not hesitate!"

Lu Dongzan's face froze.

He never expected that Fang Jun would be so persistent and firm towards the Western Regions!
Who doesn't know that Fang Jun is the most outstanding commander of the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty?You only need to look at his countless achievements in conquering the seven seas and destroying Xue Yantuo, and you will know that he is a famous general in the Tang Dynasty after Li Jing and Li Ji!
The most terrible thing is that this person not only has unparalleled influence in the Tang army, countless soldiers and generals regard him as a model and flock to him, and he is even richer than the enemy!
Not to mention whether he can really resign his official position, give up all his glory and go to the Western Regions to recruit soldiers, as long as he utters these words in the court, those who agree with the peace with Tubo will have to think carefully if Fang Jun really does this. practice, what will be the impact.

A peerless marshal with a bright future who is destined to become a prime minister, would rather resign from all official positions and go to the Western Regions to fight against the enemy alone, while the big boss in the court actually wants to make peace with Tubo... If the news spreads, what do you make the subjects of the whole country think?

The reputation of a soft-boned and traitor cannot be escaped.

It is conceivable that as long as Fang Jun expresses this attitude, even if those people who want to make peace with Tubo are coerced, they can only pinch their noses and oppose the negotiation with Tubo...
