Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3602
Under the light, the beauty is like jade.

Princess Jinyang never paid attention to the so-called reserved and dignified in front of Fang Jun. She excitedly grabbed Fang Jun's arm and chatted. The child was slightly red, obviously very happy.

Princess Changle sat dignified and virtuous, with a slight smile on her pretty face, and looked at Fang Jun with a pair of water-cut eyes.

Fang Jun also relaxed, drinking tea, talking to Princess Jinyang, and looking at Princess Changle from time to time, feeling affectionate.

I just feel that my heart is tranquil and peaceful, even if it is so old, I have no regrets...

But of course not.

The inner attendant crept in from the outside, seeing Princess Jinyang snuggling up beside Fang Jun, a pair of slender white palms tightly wrapped around Fang Jun's arm, almost sticking her icy and clean body to it, she couldn't help it. Eyelids flutter.

This is Her Royal Highness the princess in the waiting room, in case this scene spreads out...

Tsk tsk, I can't imagine the uproar it will cause. The key is that Fang Jun can enjoy it calmly, and even Princess Changle, who is reserved and dignified, turns a blind eye...

He took two steps forward, came to Fang Jun, bowed and said, "Reporting to Duke Yue, His Highness Gao Yang sent someone to come, saying that Duke Ruo has finished his business, and please go back to the Youtunwei camp to meet."

Fang Jun nodded and said, "Well, I see."

The waiter didn't dare to wait any longer, turned around and exited.

Princess Jinyang took Fang Jun's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister Gao Yang is true, since brother-in-law is back, he will definitely go to meet, why rush for a while? Brother-in-law, please sit for a while, I have a lot to say Woolen cloth."

While talking, he winked at Princess Changle.

Princess Changle was embarrassed and angry, and said with a slight anger: "The Duke of Yue has sacrificed this time and fought continuously. I don't know what to worry about at home. Now that I have returned to Beijing safely, my family is naturally eager to meet. What are you making trouble here?"

If she keeps Fang Jun occupied, what has she become?

Princess Jinyang was helpless, so she had to say to Fang Jun: "The brother-in-law has to come and go more in his spare time, and I haven't told my brother-in-law a lot yet."

Fang Jun smiled, nodded and said, "Wei Chen sincerely abides by His Highness's decree."

Then he got up, bowed his body, met Princess Changle's eyes, and said softly, "Wei Chen retire for the time being, and I'll see you later."

Princess Changle's eyes gleamed, and she nodded, "Since you know that the Duke of Yue is in good health, and whether you see it or not, why should you be in a hurry? There is chaos outside, so please take care of the Duke of Yue."

The worry and affection contained in the words are all flowing and manifesting in the pair of water-cut eyes.

"Here."

Fang Jun responded softly, saluted again, and then turned around and walked out of the house.

The Xuanwu Gate and the Neizhong Gate are located in the south and the north, sandwiching the open space in the middle. meaning.

Returning to the Xuanwu Gate, Li Junxian led the soldiers waiting here, opened the city gate, escorted him through the city gate hole, and then said goodbye.

Fang Jun watched as the city gate slowly closed, and his own soldiers led the horse to welcome him, so he got on his horse and returned to the Youtunwei camp.

Inside the camp, the soldiers were busy coming and going, and when they saw Fang Jun riding in, they all stood and knelt on one knee, waiting for him to leave before getting up.Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured into the barracks at once. Although the camp where the soldiers who were taken away by Fang Jun was still there, but because of the addition of some Anxi troops and Tubo horses, the camp was naturally insufficient and needed to be set up temporarily.

Fortunately, the Youtun Guards had sufficient equipment and sufficient manpower. Many camps had been set up, and most of the soldiers who accompanied Fang Jun back to Chang'an had already been placed.It's just that it's about to dawn at this moment, and the soldiers who have been attacking all night are starving.

Fang Jun did not return to Princess Gao Yang's residence first, but came to meet Gao Kan at the tent of the Central Army.

In the account, only Gao Kan and Wang Fangyi were seated, and they were discussing how the soldiers returning from the Western Regions should arrange the transportation of heavy grain. When they saw Fang Jun entering, they all stood up and stood aside until Fang Jun was seated. .

Today, Fang Jun has already become one of the giants with huge influence in the Tang military, and he is even more prestige in the Youtun Guard and Anxi Army.

Fang Jun took his seat, and the first thing he asked was: "In Liaodong, can the navy have a battle report to deliver?"

What he cares most about is the situation on the side of the navy.

Goguryeo is a powerful country in Liaodong. It has already evolved from a nomadic people to a regional power integrating military and government. If it is allowed to develop, it will become a huge hidden danger in the north of the Tang Dynasty in less than 50 years.

Just like the Liao Kingdom in the Song Dynasty...

In history, the three emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties devoted their national strength to attack and attack it, not only because of their vanity to expand their territory, but also realized the huge threat of Goguryeo, and finally completely eliminated it at the time of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. perish.Later, although the country was restored, its national strength was greatly damaged and its strength plummeted, and it could no longer pose a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.

But now that His Majesty Li Er has returned, and Ping Rang City has been captured by Su Dingfang, it does not mean that Goguryeo has completely declined. If you are not careful, there will be a comeback and a resurgence.

If the remaining forces cannot be completely annihilated, an Eastern Expedition will be required in the future, which will cause a huge loss of Tang's national strength. Even if it succeeds, it will seriously slow down the pace of development of the Tang Dynasty...

Gao Kan got up, pulled out a battle report from the bookcase on the side, and presented it to Fang Jun with both hands, saying: "This is the battle report that the navy sent half a month ago. It is said that the remnants of the Yuan clan in Ping Rang City have been eliminated, and the situation is gradually becoming more and more serious. Stable, Dudu Su is sending soldiers to chase down the remnants who fled outside the city. Some of the defeated soldiers fled to the border of Baekje and got the support of Baekje, wanting to restore the country, Dudu Su has attacked from both land and water, in order to destroy them, so as not to stay danger."

Fang Jun took the battle report and read it in detail after unfolding it, and had a general understanding of the situation in Liaodong.

From Emperor Yang of Sui to His Majesty Li Er’s eastward expedition, the Central Plains Dynasty expedited the entire country to conquer Goguryeo, but all of them were defeated and failed to attack. It is not how strong the military power of Goguryeo is.

First, at this time, most of the land in Liaodong was undeveloped, and it was wild, the water network was difficult to travel, and the climate was very different.

Furthermore, the Goguryeo people mostly relied on the mountains to build city fortresses. The city walls were thick and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they could always hold the Central Plains army to death. Until winter came, the road was difficult to travel and the supply was insufficient, and finally had to withdraw.

The reason why the navy was able to quickly capture Ping Rang City after the retreat of the Eastern Expedition army was due to the power of artillery.

Firearms are really powerful weapons to capture the city, and no matter how thick the city walls are, they cannot withstand the blasting of gunpowder.It's a pity that at the moment, only the army of his direct line is equipped with firearms and gunpowder on a large scale, and the internal power struggle was extremely cruel during the Eastern Expedition, so that both the Youtun Guards and the Marine Division were excluded from the main force, and there were epoch-making weapons such as firearms. The sharp weapon cannot be used, which enables Goguryeo to take every step and stick to it.

If no navy was born, this Eastern Expedition would be as unsuccessful as in history...

Fang Jun sighed unceasingly. The people of our country stood on top of the world in 2000. Wealthy and powerful looked down on the world. There were too few threats from the outside. Therefore, people of insight from ancient times to the present have all focused their attention on the inside, fighting for power and repelling dissidents. Fill up the "Politics" talent.

When it comes to political literacy, Chinese people have always been the best in the world, and because of this, they have developed the problem of internal fighting. They are always unable to unite and exert great potential externally, so that they are repeatedly bullied and suppressed by foreigners...

Putting down the battle report, Fang Jun said solemnly, "The Eastern Expedition Army... Is there any news about His Majesty?"

Today, the Eastern Expedition Army has become a huge hidden worry, not only for the Eastern Palace, but also for Guanlong. No one knows where this 10-strong army stands and what it will do after arriving in Guanzhong. respond.Judging from his current slow marching speed, it is obvious that he intends to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let Guanzhong be corrupted; but whether it is Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others, most of them have clearly expressed their support for Donggong.

The motives and intentions in it are really elusive...

His Majesty Li Er was injured and fell off his horse. He first fell unconscious, and then there was speculation that he had probably died, causing chaos and panic among people. I am afraid this is why the Guanlong clan dared to launch a mutiny, and the clans from all over the country dared to support him.

However, such a generation of heroic masters and emperors of the ancient times, His Majesty Li Er, suddenly died in the midst of thousands of troops, but Fang Jun was suspicious and unbelievable...
