Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3626 Verbal warning

Li Chengqian is a very sensitive person, and he is extremely emotional, just like the porcelain of Xing kiln, which is delicate but fragile.He can always easily capture the good and evil of others towards him, but his weak temperament allows him to respond sincerely to others' kindness, but lacks toughness and wisdom to counter malice.

Therefore, when he was young, he was loved by his father and emperor, and when he was taught carefully by the teachers of the East Palace, he was also diligent and studious and had good conduct, and was praised by the world.However, after the turmoil of competition for reserves, faced with an unfavorable situation, they lacked effective countermeasures again and again, until they gave up on themselves and went to a dead end.

Completely echoes the image of a son of an aristocratic family who grows under his father's wings, can spread his wings and fly high but cannot face the wind, frost, rain and snow alone...

But now, in the face of the surging rebels and the fall of most of Chang'an city, after countless thrilling tempering, it is extremely beneficial to Li Chengqian's character growth. One spot.

Being able to decide to die is not something anyone can do...

Li Chengqian no longer praises Fang Jun's meritorious deeds. He also knows that some empty words are useless. It's good to keep these things in mind. If God has mercy on him, he can turn defeat into victory, and he should live up to Fang Jun's support and assistance today. , the world's wealth, share with it.

"Does the current strategy against the enemy need to be readjusted?"

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he asked the two pillars of the imperial military in front of him.Although Zhang Shigui did not have the dazzling merits and unparalleled prestige of Li Jing, but as the general trusted by His Majesty Li Er the most, his own military accomplishments are definitely the best choice.

The strategy set before was to stand firm and wait for help, but now Fang Jun's two consecutive victories have not only severely dampened the morale of the rebels, but also severely weakened their strength. This made him see the hope of a counterattack, and naturally he felt Full of longing, hoping to turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop, and exterminate the rebels as soon as possible.

Zhang Shigui was silent, facing the prince's inquiry, he did not intend to express his opinion.Today, the army under Donggong is mainly led by Li Jing, who dominates the entire army and keeps his promises; on the outside, it is dominated by Fang Jun, who has a high degree of autonomy and can adjust tactics at any time.This inside and outside fit each other, but they restrain each other. It is already a very stable state. He doesn't want to jump in suddenly.

This is his code of conduct in the court and his character, so although his military ability is only inferior to that of Li Jing, Li Ji, etc. in the court, his merits are also first-class, but he has never been able to grasp power. .He naturally knew his character flaws, but he never tried to change it.

He has no powerful or unique ambitions, and is content to occupy a place in the court, and to always have a certain position.

So, so good...

Fang Jun glanced at Zhang Shigui and saw that he looked at his nose and heart, and had no intention of expressing his opinion, so he said: "His Royal Highness Mingjian, although we have won a few victories before, it did not hurt the muscles and bones of the rebels. Not much has changed, the enemy is still strong and we are weak. Under such circumstances, small-scale surprise attacks or surprise attacks are acceptable, but large-scale battles must not be launched.”

If you want to launch a large-scale counterattack against the rebels, you can only mobilize the right guards, and the army under Fang Jun's command is less than 6 people. Once mobilized, it will inevitably cause the weakness of Xuanwumen's defense.In case of being entangled by the rebels when launching a counterattack, and the rebels on the other side raid Xuanwumen, the risk is too great.

Zhang Shigui thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Sturdy defense is the first priority, and you can't take risks."

He can't sit here without saying a word, and he has to express his attitude at the right time.This is what Fang Jun said. In fact, he does think so. It's not that he can't fight back, but it's unnecessary right now.

Only when the situation is precarious and prone to overturning can we take such a risk and gamble.

Li Chengqian was a little disappointed and clapped his legs, but thinking that the situation was so different from two months ago, he was cheered up again, and nodded: "I am not very proficient in military affairs, and I still need all of you to do your best, please everyone. Don't worry, at any time, Gu will never be self-willed and willful."

He understands that the East Palace is still in a weak position, and he must work together to reverse the defeat. At this time, not only must everyone make the best use of them, but also everyone must be dedicated to serving and giving full play to their own strengths.Once he, the prince, does not listen to his advice, is stubborn and conceited, and makes a wrong decision is the next thing, if it causes resentment and dissatisfaction in the East Palace, then he will find a way out.

What's more, with Li Jing inside and Fang Jun outside, tens of thousands of elite soldiers guarding the East Palace, the situation is ten times stronger than where the rebels raised their troops?
In the final analysis, he occupies the righteousness of the name, and it is the empire's righteousness, and the situation will only become more and more favorable for him...

……

After discussing for a while, seeing that Zhang Shigui might have something to ask for instructions, Fang Jun said goodbye first and left the room.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Xiao Yu approaching from a distance, Fang Jun thought about it, stopped, and stood in the snow with his hands behind his back, waiting for Xiao Yu to approach.

Xiao Yu is not young, but she is in good physical condition and her steps are steady.Only recently did he realize that Fang Jun was waiting here, with a smile on his face immediately, he greeted him with a smile, and praised, "Erlang's fighting in these few battles has really boosted his morale! Chang'an, even if the rebels dare to raise troops, they will definitely destroy and stabilize at this moment. Right now, Erlang, your prestige is unparalleled, and you are worthy of the title of the pillar of the East Palace, which is gratifying."

"Ha ha……"

Fang Jun didn't smile, and said indifferently: "Song Guogong really praises me or hurts me? It's enough for others to talk about it, ignorant people are just talking after dinner, but if you say it from Song Guogong, I'm afraid it will go up and down the East Palace. Everyone has been offended. The situation is in danger, everyone is trying their best to be loyal to His Royal Highness, but the credit is all concentrated on the next one, what does this make others think? I am afraid that no matter how generous a person is, he will inevitably feel resentful. "

"Oh...is this serious?"

Xiao Yu stood in front of Fang Jun and waved his hand with a smile: "Erlang's merits, anyone can see, this is not something that the old man can say or not. As for those narrow-minded people who are jealous because of this, But there is no way to do it, it is mediocre not to attract jealousy, as Erlang is so talented and meritorious, how can he care about the jealous hearts of ordinary people?"

Fang Jun laughed, nodded and said, "Song Guogong's remarks are also reasonable. There has never been a shortage of heroes in this world who turn their backs on death in critical moments, but there are also many villains who are evil-minded and gossip, just need to be open-minded and upright , why do you need to argue with it for a while?"

This is a bit too much to say, with almost no regard for any face.

The corners of Xiao Yu's eyes twitched, but the smile on his face never faded, and he was still enthusiastic: "Exactly! Erlang is now in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the mercenaries are outside the Xuanwu Gate. It is time to take this opportunity to protect the sky and establish a special honor. , don't worry about the envy and jealousy of others. The old man is about to meet His Royal Highness, if Erlang has nothing to do, he might as well find a time to catch up later."

Fang Jun raised his hand and saluted: "I also have a heavy responsibility, so I won't delay Duke Song, and leave."

"Farewell."

The two saluted from a distance, and Xiao Yu turned around and walked into the house where Li Chengqian lived.

Fang Jun glanced at Xiao Yu's back, and also turned around and strode out of the inner door.

If some people can’t knock a few words of warning in person, so that they know the priorities of things, and don’t just fight for power and profits, they will go on the wrong road, and they will not recognize their mistakes at all, until they affect the overall situation and lead to big mistakes. .

Interests can always captivate the eye, make people confined within a square inch, and lose the vision of the overall situation...

In the inner door, the wind stopped for a while, and there was a lot of snow.

There were already two maids waiting inside the door with oil-paper umbrellas. When they saw Fang Jun striding forward, they hurried forward to meet them. After grazing and offering salutes, they held the umbrellas for Fang Jun and walked all the way to the residence of Princess Jinyang. .

When he got to the door, the maid opened the door and raised the curtain, Fang Jun stepped in.

A warm hot air came oncoming, mixed with a strong smell of mutton, which made the index finger move.A maid bowed and took off his cloak for him, and held a copper basin to wait on him to wash his hands and face.

After some tidying up, Fang Jun walked into the hall.

Guess she was startled as soon as she walked into the hall, but saw the three little princesses Jinyang, Changshan, and Jincheng sitting in front of the table, waving chopsticks and picking up slices of mutton in the hot pot and putting them in their mouths, each of which was hot. He breathed, and he was sweating profusely.
