Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3397 The war situation is chaotic
When Fang Jun and his party arrived at Jiaohe City, it was dusk, and the wind and snow covered Jiaohe City, which stood abruptly on the side of the river.

Thinking of such a majestic city standing on the Silk Road right now, after more than a thousand years of wind and sand erosion and vicissitudes of life, only ruins and ruins are left. …

Walking to the city gate, the city guards had already opened the city gate, and Pei Xingjian, who was waiting here, stepped forward to greet him.After exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the city and walked along the main street of the city to the government office.

In the government office, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, had already ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and banquets. As soon as Fang Jun arrived, he asked the maid to take a bath and change into a set of clothes before coming to the hall for the banquet.

The mountains were covered by heavy snow, they were located in the frontier, and supplies were extremely scarce. Even Li Xiaogong, a member of the royal family, lived a simple life.There were quite a few dishes on the table, but most of them were ordinary. It was just to meet Fang Jun that he almost scraped all the warehouses in Jiaohe City to get them together...

"Come here, the conditions are simple, it's really slow, I hope Erlang will take care of you. It's just that the dishes are simple, but my king welcomes Erlang with sincerity. The sun and the moon are shining, and the world can learn from it!"

Li Xiaogong grabbed Fang Jun's hand and entered the table, laughed and joked with himself, making a small joke.

After listening to Li Xiaogong's words, You Kun, who was accompanying the guests, couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching when he saw his blushing happy expression.

Although he is Li Xiaogong's wife family and is highly valued, but Li Xiaogong usually treats him extremely harshly, and reprimands him if he makes a slight mistake.It's not just him. Although Li Xiaogong handed over his military power for a long time before, he has faded out of the Tang military for many years, but his meritorious service is still there, his power is still there, and his status is lofty. He always looks like an old god and ignores everyone. The prestige is very heavy.

Have you ever seen him be so enthusiastic about others?

Fang Jun took the opportunity to enter the table, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the dishes are simple, and it doesn't matter if the wine is dirty. You just need to ask the general to offer you a few glasses of wine. The king should not excuse himself."

Li Xiaogong's complexion changed, and he forced a smile and said: "You really don't know what to do, this king is so enthusiastic, if it wasn't for the generals under his command who stopped him and almost went to the city gate to greet him in person, it would be enough to give you face? This king has got his heart , this wine is naturally used to adjust the atmosphere, if you can drink it, drink it, if you can't drink it, let it go, if you want to make this king drunk, then you can't do it."

This guy is full of abilities, amazing talent, but in Li Xiaogong's view, the greatest ability is still the magnificent capacity for drinking without getting drunk.

Simply invincible...

Fang Jun clicked his tongue, a little bored.I thought I could get Li Xiaogong drunk today, after all, I had sent Cheng Wuting to blockade Jiaohe City, and then started killing in the city, it was a big favor to Li Xiaogong.As the king of the county, the governor of Anxi was forced to use tricks such as "striking the grass to startle the snake". It can be seen how passive Li Xiaogong was in the struggle in the Anxi governor's mansion.

I owe myself such a big favor, so I can't even drink a few glasses of wine, right?

In the end, he really underestimated Li Xiaogong's lower limit - I recognize the great favor, but drinking is definitely not allowed...

Pei Xingjian smiled and said nothing.

Fang Jun glanced at You Kun, and said to Li Xiaogong, "Who is this?"

You Kun was speechless, he introduced himself when he first entered the door, okay?No matter how unknown we are, we can't bully people like this...

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "This is the family of the king's wives... a very remarkable young man, please get closer to me in the future. You Kun, hurry up and give a cup to the Duke of Yue. If you can get a suggestion from the Duke of Yue, You will benefit endlessly."

You Kun hurriedly raised his wine glass: "Duke Yue's reputation as an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs is astonishing to my ears. It is a great honor to meet you today. I would like to toast you!"

Although I feel a little uncomfortable with Fang Jun's contempt just now, the shadow of the famous tree, given Fang Jun's current status, if I really mention him a little bit, the benefits I receive are even greater than what Li Xiaogong gave.

After all, Li Xiaogong belongs to the clan, and sometimes he needs to avoid suspicion. Appointing a private person will bring a bad reputation, and even lead to impeachment by the imperial censor, while Fang Jun has no problems in this regard at all.Even Fang Jun has always been famous for his simplicity and selection of talents. The civil servants and military generals promoted by him are all leaders among the people.

As expected, I am the confidant of the county king, recommending myself to Fang Jun in this way is obviously a key cultivation, and I should serve him wholeheartedly in the future, and I will die after myself!
Pei Xingjian, who was at the side, saw You Kun's excited expression and his expression of gratitude towards Li Xiaogong, so he chuckled, picked up his wine glass, and took a shallow sip.

Sure enough, Fang Jun squinted at Li Xiaogong, and said to You Kun, "A cup? I am a dignified Duke of the state. You are just a partial general. Is it appropriate to toast only a cup?"

You Kun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly apologized: "It's not appropriate, it's not suitable, it's Meng Lang, and it should be punished."

Fang Jun nodded and said: "That's okay, first punish yourself with three cups, and then I will give you a chance to toast."

The old god Li Xiaogong was there, stretching out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Self-punishment three cups, and another three cups, this is six cups, and the characteristic of Fang Jun's drinking is not only massive, but most importantly fast. Under the word "quick", ordinary people really can't drink fast wine.

You Kun drank three cups in one breath, suppressing the churning breath of alcohol in his chest and abdomen, and raised his glass here: "The last general respects the Duke!"

"Okay! See you in the wine shop, you are not bad."

Fang Jun praised it, and raised his glass first.

You Kun was so flattered that he drank quickly.

One cup after another, one cup after another...

……

Near Xu time, the banquet dispersed, Li Xiaogong and Fang Jun sat opposite each other in the side hall, drinking tea leisurely.

Li Xiaogong told the waiter who was serving at the side: "Go and see You Kun, and ask the military doctor to make a bowl of hangover soup for him to drink."

When the waiter turned to leave, Li Xiaogong said to Fang Jun angrily: "Where do you drink like this? You must drink to death."

Fang Jun looked innocent: "When the king of the county pushed him out as a shield, he didn't think about his life or death."

Li Xiaogong was speechless, wondering if I would not let You Kun go up by myself?
My old bone still wants to enjoy a few more beautiful little beauties, but I don't want to fall apart on the wine table...

Changing the subject, he said: "This urgent letter to Erlang, asking you to put aside the battle in Gongyue City and come to Jiaohe City is because of a change in the court. The matter is of great importance, and it is easy to leak information whether it is letter paper or oral letter, and I also want to communicate with Erlang Discussing face to face, of course, is so urgent."

Fang Jun nodded, held the pot and poured tea for Li Xiaogong, said: "I also think that there must be something urgent, what is it?"

Holding the teacup in his hand, Li Xiaogong said slowly, with a heavy expression on his face, "Now there are rumors in Chang'an City that when His Majesty was attacking Pingrang City in Liaodong, he fell into an ambush by Goguryeo's 'Wang Zhuang Army' by mistake, fell from his horse in fright, and was seriously injured. The body was damaged, and one eye was shot by the bandit army."

Fang Jun put the teacup to his mouth, and he was stunned.

Although he had guessed that the matter must be of great importance when he received an urgent letter from Li Xiaogong asking him to come to Jiaohe City to discuss important matters, he never expected it to be so big!

This is simply a pierce the sky, right? !

His Majesty Li Er fell off his horse and was injured, and was shot in one eye... Why do these words sound familiar?
Putting down the teacup, Fang Jun tried to calm down, and cleared his memory bit by bit in his mind.

Traveling through the years, the memories of the past inevitably gradually faded and blurred. Except for some important events, it was difficult for him to recall many things.

However, the fact that His Majesty Li Er was shot in one eye...wasn't it a rumor fabricated in Goguryeo's history books to whitewash himself in the face of the disastrous defeat in the Great Tang Conquest?This rumor was even recorded in the annals of history by the Goguryeo people and passed on to future generations.

Based on this, the stickmen of later generations also boasted a lot, saying that the ancient Goguryeo won a great victory against the Tang Dynasty...

At this time in history, the Goguryeo people entertained and fabricated rumors, so is it possible to become a fact now?Fang Jun weighed it carefully and felt that it was still unreliable.

He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Goguryeo fabricated these rumors on purpose to disturb the Tang army's morale, and then spread them in the city of Chang'an with meticulous work. , even if he accidentally fell into the enemy's trap and was under siege, how could he be shot? If this is true, the morale of the Tang army will not be shaken, but will be united with the enemy and vent all his anger on the enemy. At this moment The news we received should be that Ping Rang City has been captured!"
