Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3705 tit for tat
In fact, not only did Ma Zhou think so, but many people had the same doubts about Fang Jun's brazen war.

Negotiation is indeed not only a battle of words on the negotiating table, but also a game under the negotiating table. Whoever has a harder fist and whose situation is more favorable will naturally take more initiative.Many times you come and go at the negotiating table, but there are still conflicts under the negotiating table, which is normal.

However, Fang Jun brazenly dispatched troops this time. He not only dispatched a small number of artillery pieces, but also dispatched armored cavalry directly to the rebel camp outside Tonghua Gate. The limit of tolerance.

What's more, this big victory turned the rebel army camp upside down, and then more than a thousand armored cavalry retreated calmly, leaving only corpses everywhere and endless humiliation for the rebel army.

Under such circumstances, who can expect Guan Long to continue negotiating well with his temper suppressed?

I don't know how this guy tricked the prince into agreeing to send troops to fight, so it can be seen that Fang Jun's influence on the prince is really unfathomable...

……

Faced with Ma Zhou's doubts, Fang Jun smiled: "If we can't talk about it, then let's not talk about it."

Ma Zhou frowned: Don't talk about it?
If we don't talk about it, the two sides will continue to fight again and again, and only both sides will suffer. At that time, Li Ji will lead his troops to station in Tongguan. If he hides other thoughts, the collapse of the East Palace will be imminent... It is better to negotiate a peace, otherwise the risk is too great, and the East Palace may not be able to bear it Take those risks.

However, he knew Fang Jun's behavior very well, and he didn't think it was a reckless act of his for a while. It stands to reason that even if Dong Neiyuan was attacked by the rebels and suffered heavy casualties, Fang Jun should not send troops to attack the rebels immediately.And if it is just to find a group of rebels to annihilate to vent their anger, it will be nothing more than bombarding them with artillery, and then sending out armored cavalry to kill the rebels on their backs.

He couldn't figure out what Fang Jun wanted to do, but he didn't ask.

A group of civil servants headed by Liu Ji are still discussing how to get in touch with Guan Long, and how to save Guan Long from possible rage and even directly tearing up the armistice contract.

There was silence in the hall.

We all know that Yuwen Shiji rushed to Tongguan to try to persuade Li Ji, and now it seems that he should return in vain, otherwise, if he succeeds in convincing Li Ji, then there is no need to come to see the prince right now, the army has already directly escorted him...

All the officials dispersed, Fang Jun also walked out side by side with Ma Zhou and Li Daozong, only Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji and other core figures in charge of the peace talks remained in the hall.

Fang Jun went out of the door, just in time to see Yuwen Shiji waiting outside the door, the two looked at each other, and sparks flew everywhere.

Fang Jun clasped his fists and saluted, with a gentle smile: "Duke Ying has age after all, his body and bones are different from those of young people, and he has been traveling to and from Chang'an in Tongguan, how can he bear it? Why don't you take the burden off your shoulders and go back to the mansion to have fun with your grandchildren and take care of yourself?" In this year, wouldn’t it be nice to sit in the mansion, play mahjong, and drink some wine when you are free? This day, in the evening wind and snow, nothing will happen.”

"Hey!"

Yuwen Shiji laughed angrily, pointed at Fang Jun, and said with a sneer, "The old man has only left Chang'an for a few days, and you brazenly went to war with this stick, and abandoned the armistice contract signed before, and His Royal Highness was insulted. Now, instead of being sarcastic and sarcastic in front of this old man, it is really not a son of man!"

Fang Jun restrained his smile, straightened his back, and squinted at Yuwen Shiji: "you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. You who enjoy the welfare of the empire, not only don't know how to be loyal to the emperor, love the country, and serve the country wholeheartedly, but Obsessed with profit, without the slightest desire to be a king of the family and country, brazenly raised troops, rebelled and conspired, and a group of chaotic officials and thieves dare to boss me around in front of me? Bah!"

The civil servants and generals around stood still, staring at Fang Jun angrily at Yu Wenshiji.

In the final analysis, Guan Long's mutiny was under the banner of "military remonstrance", which was different from those who rebelled against Jiong. Although everyone had different positions and stood on the same team, it was not a bloody hatred between you and me.Like Yu Wenshi and such senior bigwigs, they have to be respected no matter what, otherwise how dare they come to see the prince as a rebel?

It's really surprising that Fang Jun scolded so unceremoniously in person...

Yuwen Shi and his well-maintained face were full of exhaustion due to the long journey. At this moment, Fang Jun was so angry that his blood surged up and his face flushed red. I talk like that?"

Fang Jun took a step forward, almost standing at the same place as Yuwen Shiji, the distance was very close, his voice could be heard, he sneered and said: "Don't let that seniority overwhelm you, and dare to show off your power in the East Palace, believe it or not, I will kill you with a single knife, Then start a full-scale war against Guan Long?"

The officials of the East Palace were startled, Ma Zhou got close, and hurriedly tugged on Fang Jun's sleeve, but instead of pulling, he hugged his waist and tugged aside.

No one knows what this stick is thinking. Since he dared to brazenly start a war against Guan Long, it is not impossible to kill Yuwen Shi and completely break down the peace talks between the two sides at this moment...

"you you you……"

Yuwen Shiji blushed with anger, pointed at Fang Jun with trembling fingers, and was too angry to speak.

Fang Jun snorted: "Forget you are smart, don't dare to talk too much, today this face will be kept and don't take it away!"

Yuwen Shiji scolded angrily: "I'm not a son of man!"

He only dared to say this one sentence, if he scolded harshly, who knows if this stick will make him lose face...

The servants were in a cold sweat. Seeing Fang Jun being pushed away by Ma Zhou and others, and Yuwen Shiji still standing in the distance panting, he hurried forward and said, "Duke Ying, please don't say a few words. Your Highness is waiting to summon you."

"This stick is not a son of man!"

Just repeating this sentence over and over again, Yuwen Shi and himself also felt bored, suppressed their anger, tidied up their clothes, and followed the servants into the room to meet the prince.

……

Ma Zhou pulled Fang Jun away, went to Nei Chong's door, and said with a wry smile, "You have to change your temper, I don't even know when you are fake and when you are real."

It stands to reason that Fang Jun didn't need to quarrel with Yuwen Shiji, but he just did it, so Ma Zhou didn't know whether he would really kill Yuwen Shiji...

Fang Jun smiled and said: "It's just to suppress the old guy's aura. Although I don't participate in the negotiation, but when I can give some help, I will not be stingy."

"Ah……"

Ma Zhou sneered, noncommittal.

Just a few steps away, a military general in full armor walked towards him quickly, and when he got close, he knelt on one knee and gave a military salute: "Commander, please tell the Duke of Yue."

Fang Jun nodded: "Get up and talk."

This is Li Jing's nephew, Li Dazhi, also his lieutenant general, just over [-] years old, with a stout figure and a capable face, he is highly regarded by Li Jingzhi.

"Here."

Li Dazhi stood up, Fang Jun nodded to Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou went back to the government office, and Fang Jun followed Li Dazhi to the Taiji Palace.

From the inner heavy gate to the south, pass the Acacia Hall and Jingfu Terrace, and pass the Ziwei Hall by the lake. You can see the Shujing Hall in the west, which used to be the residence of Princess Changle, has been destroyed by the war. , very dilapidated.

Fang Jun stopped, looked at the dilapidated Shujing Palace, and asked, "Have the rebels rushed here?"

This is still Da Nei, not far from the inner heavy gate, surrounded by continuous palaces and lakes, which shows how fierce the battle was at that time.

Li Dazhi looked at the Shujing Palace, still lingering in fear: "It was a battle a month ago. The rebels attacked like crazy. There was a rebel army who entered the palace from Jiayoumen. It was the last general who was ordered Intercept, follow every step of the palace, and finally retreat the enemy with firearms such as Zhentianlei, Shujing Palace was also destroyed in that battle."

Fang Jun nodded, walked forward, and arrived at the Yuehua Gate, the temporary commander-in-chief tent of the Six Commanders of the East Palace. Across the wall was the Ganlu Palace, the bedroom of His Majesty Li Er...

Under the Yuehua Gate, there are houses for guarding the inner guards, which are arranged along the palace wall between Yuehua Gate and Yiqiu Gate. At this moment, they are all requisitioned as the command center of the Six Commanders of the East Palace. Soldiers and officers come and go. in a hurry.

To the north is the Ganlu Gate, inside the gate is the Ganlu Hall, and to the south you can see the majestic roof of the Liangyi Hall.

A few days ago, the Eastern Palace had a truce with the rebels, but the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace did not dare to slack off, and seized the time to repair the fortifications and replenish the ordnance. Last night, Fang Jun blatantly raided the rebel camp at Tonghua Gate, causing the situation to suddenly become tense. The Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace went into battle. , beware of retaliation by the rebels and attack Tai Chi Palace again.

In the duty room next to Yuehua Gate, Li Jing was dressed in civilian clothes, and was kneeling and sitting beside the table in front of the window making tea. When he saw Fang Jun entering, he said casually, "Sit for a while, the tea will be ready soon."

Fang Jun looked at the simple furnishings in the room, nodded with a smile, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down opposite Li Jing.

The charcoal fire in the small red clay furnace was booming, and the flames licked the bottom of the kettle, and the water in the kettle hummed slightly. Li Jing fixed his eyes on the kettle, watched the spout of the kettle spew out white gas, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to use Are the top and bottom of the East Palace pushed into the abyss of eternal doom?"
