Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3547 House arrest
As the defender of Suzhou, Hou Mo and Chen Fen didn't have many soldiers under his command, but he was closely guarding the main roads of east-west traffic, and his position was very important.Not long ago, Zhao Guogong personally wrote a letter, asking him to pay close attention to the surrounding movement, and if Anxi army came from west to east, no matter what purpose it seemed on the surface, he should report to Chang'an in time.

After all, although Suzhou is far away from Chang'an, the Silk Road is unimpeded and helpless, and within ten months, they can rush straight to Guanzhong...

Hearing that the Anxi Army had arrived outside the city, Hou Mo Chen Fan couldn't help being amazed at how fast they marched, so he quickly put on his armor and rode out of Suzhou City with his troops.

The heavy snow that had lasted for many days finally stopped, but the sky was still overcast and the north wind was howling. The weather was colder than when it was snowing.Countless cavalrymen with different skin colors galloped past from west to east on the official road, but beside the official road outside the city gate, a group of cavalry stood motionless in the cold wind.

Hou Mo Chen Fen hurried forward to meet him, and when he got close, he clasped his hands on the horse's back and said loudly: "Hou Mo Chen Fen, the guard of Xiasuzhou, I wonder which general of the Anxi Army led his troops to pass by, and where do you want to go? "

No one answered, and he was greeted by dozens of "Hula" riders who rode forward and immediately surrounded him and a dozen soldiers behind him.These cavalrymen of the Anxi Army were all strong and powerful, and they looked like they had just been withdrawn from the battlefield.
Seeing the posture of Anxi's soldiers, Hou Mo Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked loudly: "What do you want to do?"

The cavalrymen in front of them put their hands on the hilts of their waists, staring at Hou Mo Chen Fen and the soldiers behind him. If anyone dared to act rashly, these cavalrymen would definitely draw their swords to face each other.

Hou Mo and Chen Fan were frightened and could not understand the situation.

Even if this Anxi army went straight to Chang'an to help the East Palace, what does it have to do with me?Although I am a disciple of Guanlong, but as the guard of Suzhou, I have never participated in the matter of remonstrance. If I want to kill myself just because of my status as a disciple of Guanlong, I will not be able to kill myself...

Just when he was uneasy, the crowd in front of him parted, and Yiqi slowly stepped forward. Hou Mo Chenfan's eyes widened instantly, and he was tongue-tied: "You, you, you..."

Ordinary leather armour, with a horizontal knife tied around his waist, and he dismounted from the horse was also an ordinary yellow pussy horse, but the blackish weather-stained face that looked dusty was something Hou Mo Chenfan could never have imagined.

It was Fang Jun...

How could he be here?

Didn't it mean that it was just a cavalry composed of Hu soldiers?How could Fang Jun follow them?At this time, look at the cavalry in front of you... Although they are all dressed up as Hu tribes, how can Hu cavalry possess the awe-inspiring murderous aura of advancing and retreating?

This is simply the elite of the Tang army...

So far, how can Hou Mo and Chen Fen not understand what happened?
Hu Qi crossing the road is simply nonsense, Fang Jun is playing a trick of "clearly repairing the plank road, secretly keeping Chen Cang"...

Not daring to say more, obediently turned over from the horseback, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The last general will see the Duke of Yue!"

Fang Jun sat on the horse, condescendingly, and said slowly: "Guan Long committed rebellion, I led my troops back to Beijing to make things right. But don't worry, I won't kill you wantonly just because you are a child of Guan Long. If the news of this trip is leaked, we can only temporarily wrong the general for a few days, and follow the army first, and then we can leave on our own after arriving in Chang'an, how about that?"

Hou Mo and Chen Fan knew the current affairs very well, nodded and said: "Everything is up to the Duke of Yue's orders, and the general will obey everything in the end."

Rebellion is definitely not rebellious, don't look at Fang Jun's politeness at the moment, it's because people don't take him seriously as the Suzhou guard at all, but if he doesn't know what to do or not, Fang Jun gets anxious and kills himself Then it would be effortless to install someone who "connects with foreign countries" and "seeks to usurp the throne".

And from the fact that Fang Junxing had just received the news when he came here, it can be seen that the Yumen gatekeeper is either under house arrest like himself, or he is Fang Jun's person at all.It's a pity that Chang'an still doesn't know anything about it, Fang Jun has already quietly led the cavalry across Yumen Pass to Hexi, and it may take a few days to drive straight to the pass.

I can't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, when I got Hu Qi passing by, I immediately sent a message to Chang'an, so that Chang'an was prepared, otherwise, if there was a slight delay, I am afraid that no news will be sent at this time...

……

Three days later, Fang Jun led his army to Liangzhou, and Duan Hu, the Liangzhou defender, came out of the city to welcome him, and he was treated the same as Hou Mo and Chen Fen...

In the tent, Duan Hu and Hou Mo Chen Fen had a drink together.

Although all the guards in Hexi counties were put under house arrest, Fang Jun did not treat them harshly, but the feelings of the two people were completely different.As a disciple of Guanlong, Hou Mo and Chen Fen knew Fang Jun's strategy of "building plank roads openly and keeping Chencang secretly", so he understood that it was necessary to put him under house arrest to prevent news from leaking out, and Fang Jun only restricted his freedom and did not treat him otherwise, obviously he would not After killing the killer, he stayed in Fang Jun's army with peace of mind.

Duan Hu was quite upset, he thought he had shown his affection to Fang Jun many times, and he didn't have much to do with Guan Long at all, so locking himself up with Hou Mo Chen Fen, wouldn't it mean that he would be separated from Guan Long's family clan? Draw an equal sign?

Hou Mo Chen Fan poured wine from the pot, clinked glasses with Duan Hu, and said with a smile: "Brother, why do you have to do this? It is really necessary to put you and me under house arrest, so even though we have different positions, I can accept it. Besides, Come on, eat and drink all day long, and don't treat me lightly, so it's not bad."

With Fang Jun's status and the fact that they see each other as hostile, it is only natural that they be treated harshly.

Duan Hu said depressedly: "You and I are not the same!"

You Guanlongmen faction raised troops to carry out military remonstrance, intending to dethrone the East Palace, and Fang Jun is a deadly enemy, so it is right to chop off your head.But although our Duan family's ancestral home is Wuwei Guzang, our ancestors migrated to Zizhou a long time ago and have nothing to do with Guanlong, so why should we treat you equally?
Hou Mo Chen Fen said: "It's only a matter of ten months. As long as the Duke of Yue sends his troops into Guanzhong, the news will definitely reach Chang'an. It will be meaningless to keep us locked up. We will be released on our own, and we must bear with it first."

Duan Hu sighed, drank a cup, and said with a frowning face, "You think I'm worried about this? No! I'm depressed that the Duke of Yue regards me as equal to you, which means that in his eyes, I'm just like you. Guan Long is in unison!"

"so what?"

Hou Mo and Chen Fan were puzzled: "Even I, a serious disciple of Guanlong, the Duke of Yue just imprisoned me and didn't do anything cruel? There are tens of thousands of Guanlong disciples in this world, even if the old people in the family commit crimes Conspiring against the great crime, it can't kill all the disciples of Guanlong! Besides, it's still uncertain what's going on in the current situation, even if the Duke of Yue led his troops back to Chang'an, I can only observe from the outside There are more than ten thousand cavalry, and it is still unknown whether they can turn the tide."

He thought that Duan Hu was afraid of being killed by Fang Jun as a member of Guanlong's party, but in his opinion, this was completely unnecessary.

In the final analysis, the current situation is a struggle for power. Except for the few core high-level people on both sides, the rest will not affect their lives no matter whether they win or lose.In the final analysis, no matter whether this remonstrance is successful or not, the Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty, and the royal family of Li and Tang are still in charge, and this has already set the tone.

Although it is said that the winners are princes and the losers are bandits, after all, it is not a time of troubled times to compete for the country. At this time, both the enemy and the enemy have entangled interests and are deeply involved. As long as the power framework is established, it will stop here.

But Duan Hu said: "You don't know the Duke of Yue at all. Since he dared to rush thousands of miles to rescue Chang'an, he must have completely defeated the enemy army in the Western Regions, and there is no need to worry about it. The Dashi army has more than [-] troops, and they have captured cities and looted land all the way. As long as you go straight, the Anxi army retreated steadily, lost their troops and lost their ground, and as a result, the Duke of Yue turned defeat into victory when he arrived... In addition to the previous battle of pulling the valley, tens of thousands of fine cavalry in Tuyuhun lost their helmets and armor, and were defeated. I have seen with my own eyes... With this level of combat power, once you return to Chang'an, how will the mob gathered by you Guanlong resist? The failure of the military remonstrance is just a matter of turning the ears! When the Duke of Yue tries his best to turn the tide and set things right, he belongs to the The civil servants and military generals of the Eastern Palace lineup are bound to rise, but I, who has been proclaiming to the Yue Kingdom that I am willing to serve Maqian, is assigned to the Guanlong lineage, which is really extremely depressing."

Hou Mo Chen Fan opened his mouth and found himself speechless.

Originally, he had a lot of confidence in the Guanlongmen Clan's remonstrance, but suddenly found that some authorities were confused, and Duan Hu could not see clearly.Indeed, as he said, if Fang Jun led his army of hundreds of warriors to suddenly appear under the city of Chang'an, how would the mob of Guanlong troops resist?

Thinking about it further, if this remonstrance fails in the end, although Changsun Wuji will not be able to protect him at the end of the day, what kind of blow will the Guanlongmen Clan suffer?
shudder.
