Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3151 A "Thank You Gift"

The greater the crisis, the greater the opportunity.

Needless to say, if it is a complete defeat, Fang Jun will definitely defend Hexi to the death, and would rather die in battle than take a step back.Behind you is Guanzhong, where the capital of the empire is located, and there is no way to retreat.The same is true for him, Xue Rengui. Once the Western Regions fall, the Arab army will march eastward and head straight for Hexi. At that time, Fang Jun will undoubtedly be defeated in the face of front and rear attacks.

But if he wins, it will be the carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and he will become famous all over the world.

In the face of adversity, winning more with less and turning defeat into victory are things that only ancient famous generals can do.If Fang Jun defends Hexi and defends the Western Regions by himself, then he will surely make great achievements and be famous in history.

Even after a thousand years, future generations will look up to today's battle, sing praises, and be convinced.

Xue Rengui only felt his heart beating "thumping".

Who can have a bad name?

For officials, life and death matters little, but fame matters a lot.How many people are willing to fight for a name in history, willing to face death?

And as a soldier, facing the enemy and shrouding his body in horse leather, he has long since disregarded life and death.If one battle can establish the honorary name passed on to future generations, even if he dies before the battle, there will be no regrets.

Of course, as the commander-in-chief of an army, one cannot always think about fame and meritorious deeds. Everything must be based on the overall situation.The current situation of the Anxi Army is to stick to the Western Regions and prevent the Arabs from sweeping the Western Regions, breaking into Hexi, and threatening Guanzhong.

On top of this grand strategy, regardless of whether it is Suiye City, Shule Town, or even Luntai and Jiaohe, they can all be abandoned.

The final battlefield is Yumen Pass.

This is the bottom line of the Anxi army. Even if the entire army is wiped out and tens of thousands of soldiers are buried in the Western Regions, the enemy will not be able to make it one step further.

But before that, you can use flexible and maneuverable tactics, whether it is to fortify the wall to clear the field, or to fight in a roundabout way. The main purpose is to continuously consume the enemy's vital forces, hold back their progress, and drag them to the Western Regions.

The clerk offered fragrant tea, and Xue Rengui poured himself a cup. After sitting back at the desk, he picked up the brush and drank the tea while looking at the map on the wall. How to arrange troops, how to lure the enemy to go deep, and how to set up an ambush, use limited forces, on the vast land of the Western Regions, do everything possible to deal with the enemy, and win the final victory.

Before the battle, it is Xue Rengui's consistent habit to pre-plan the battle strategy based on information from multiple sources.

As the saying goes, "Whoever wins before a battle and the temple counts must be counted as more; if the temple is counted as invincible before a battle, it must be counted as less. More counts as victory and less counts, let alone nothing?"

Of course, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and often an inconspicuous change will cause the situation to suddenly reverse. No matter how well prepared you are in advance, if you stick to the same plan, you will only end in disastrous defeat.Predetermining a general strategy, setting up a certain strategy and ambush, and then constantly modifying, advancing, and improving it according to the actual situation, this is what a general should do.

Just like what Li Xiaogong said, the charge and attack must be done by the generals under his command. No matter how brave the leader of an army is, it will be in vain. He must plan strategies and win thousands of miles away to be considered qualified.

……

Captain Yuan Wei of Suiye City had been busy for a whole day, and only returned to his residence after the curfew at night.

He took off his shoes and asked the servant to boil hot water for a bath, changed into normal clothes and knelt on the floor of the hall, enjoying a sumptuous dinner, and opened a jar of good wine. I feel that this is what life looks like .

Although the Yuan family is down and out, but the remote houses are scattered all over the place, there is still a bit of background, he can be regarded as a descendant of the family.

It took a few years to adapt to the harsh conditions of the Western Regions since I was a child, but the superiority of the children of the aristocratic family has not faded in my bones, and I am always willing to enjoy it in my spare time, which can be regarded as hardship. Have fun.

The old servant came in softly from the outside, bowed and said: "Mr. Lang, there is a visitor who is said to be from the eldest grandson's family."

Yuan Wei was drinking by himself, he almost choked when he heard the words, he hurriedly asked: "What did you say?"

Now he is most afraid of seeing the members of the eldest grandson's family.

The Yuan family was down and down, and the children had to rely on the nobles of Guanlong to survive in the army or in the officialdom. Yuan Wei has always been close to the eldest grandson's family and obeyed his words. It is a good thing for the eldest grandson's family to visit, and it should be necessary for him to contribute place.

The affairs of the world are nothing more than the word "exchange". He contributes to the eldest grandson's family, doing all the dirty work and hard work, like a dog and dog, and then the eldest grandson's family provides him with much-needed political resources to help him a step forward One step higher, this is mutual benefit and mutual use.

However, the last time Changsun Yan begged him to help wipe out a group of big cannibal bandits, but accidentally killed Changsun Jun with a knife. This incident has always been a nightmare in his heart.

Changsun Wuji is famous for being a "yin man" who protects the calf. If he knows that his son died in his hands, how can he let it go?
He must cut himself into pieces.

So when I heard that it was someone from the Changsun family, I felt a "thump" in my heart, and subconsciously wondered if it was Changsun Wuji who sent someone to kill me...

But after thinking about it, Chang Sunyan shouldn't be so incompetent.

Anyway, the death of Changsun Jun cannot be blamed on him, he just obeyed orders, and it was Changsun Yan himself who didn't understand, which led to Changsun Jun's death.Once this matter is leaked out, he will certainly be regarded as a target of venting his anger by Changsun Wuji, wouldn't his eldest Sunyan be even more miserable?

According to the current situation of the Changsun family, Changsun Yan has the hope of inheriting the position of Patriarch, and he will definitely not let this matter leak out.

However, thinking of this, the heart that had just let go hung up again.

Since Changsun Yan has the hope of inheriting the position of Patriarch, the truth of Changsun Jun's death must not be known to the outside world no matter what.And the only ones who know the real process of Changsun Jun's death are himself and Changsun Yan, so will Changsun Yan simply kill people to silence this matter, so that no one in the world will know?

Even more divergent thinking and richer imagination, since the biggest beneficiary of Changsun Jun's death is Changsun Yan, could it be that everything that seems to be a coincidence is just Changsun Yan's secret plan?

……

motherfucker!

Yuan Wei cursed secretly, the aristocratic family is really full of filth and squalor except for its splendor on the outside.Although I am not sure whether Changsun Yan murdered Changsun Jun, but this possibility is very real. He was originally a child of a family, so don't hear too much about such stories of fratricide and brotherhood...

Putting down the wine glass, Yuan Wei sighed, "Let him in."

There is no way to hide. I am in the army and under the control of the Guanlong Clan. If Chang Sunyan really wants to silence him, he will have to face it sooner or later.

"Here."

The old servant bowed and exited, and when he reached the door, he heard Yuan Wei's order: "Repel all the servants, and no one on the left or right will come near."

The ghost knows what the eldest grandson's family sent someone to talk about, it's best not to let the servants at home listen.This old servant was brought from home when he came to Anxi Army to take up his post, and he was the most loyal and trustworthy.

The old servant agreed, turned around and went out to bring the members of the Changsun's family into the hall, while he withdrew himself, drove away all the servants on the left and right, and stood at the door to watch the door.

The person sent by the eldest grandson's family was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a scribe, with a long black beard under his chin, good-looking, and very good-natured.

"My eldest son Han, I have met Captain Yuan."

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

Yuan Wei waved his hand, he had heard about this name, he was considered a prominent figure in the caravan of Changsun's family traveling to and from the Western Regions, it was said that he was the heir of Changsun Wuji's brother, and he was very trusted by Changsun Wuji.

She gave up her seat and asked, "Would you like to have a glass of water and wine together?"

Changsun Han said with a smile: "I just had dinner before, thank you Captain Yuan."

Yuan Wei didn't force himself, drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass, sat upright, and asked: "I don't know how to come here, what can I teach you?"

Changsun Han said: "I dare not do it. I came here this time just to ask Lieutenant Yuan, why did the city suddenly order all the merchants from all over the place to move to Luntai City, and the goods in the warehouses should also be transported away?"

Yuan Wei frowned and said, "This is the order of Xue Rengui, the Sima of the Anxi Army. Does the Changsun family intend to disobey the military order?"

Even when the eldest grandson's family was at its peak, it was impossible to disregard military orders and act on its own, and came to the door like this. Could it be that he thought Yuan Wei could influence Xue Rengui?

Changsun Han still looked gentle, stroking his beard, shaking his head and said: "Of course not. No less than tens of millions. Now there is an order that the Silk Road is not allowed to pass, and all of them have to go to Luntai City. The loss is really too great. Yuan Xiaowei and Changsun's family have always been good friends, and my family Shiro is even more It is because I have a close friendship with Yuan Xiaowei, so I came here this time to ask if there is any accommodation? If there is, the Changsun family will be very grateful."

Saying that, he took out an envelope from his sleeve and put it on the table, covered it with his right hand, tapped it with his index finger, looked at Yuan Wei and said, "There is a courtyard with three entrances in Yonghe Square in Chang'an City, this is a thank you gift. "

Yuan Wei raised his eyebrows immediately.

A three-entry courtyard in Yonghefang is worth at least a thousand guan, and it is such a heavy thank you gift when you make a move. The matter is obviously not as simple as "accommodating"...
