Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3723 Confused
The idea was confirmed, and Yu Wenlong felt relieved immediately, and asked: "How is the battle going?"

The scout said: "You Tunwei dispatched more than a thousand armored cavalry and thousands of light cavalry. Led by Anxi Military Academy Lieutenant Wang Fangyi, they defeated the 8000-member Wenshui Wu family's position in one charge, and then chased them all the way to the vicinity of Kunming Lake. The Wu family's private army was completely killed, and there were not enough white people to escape, but the general Wu Yuanzhong, and his patriarch's grandson Wu Xixuan also died in the battle."

"hiss……"

The left and right generals gasped.

Everyone knows that the Wenshui Wu family is Fang Jun's in-law, and everyone knows how Fang Jun dotes on the charming and beautiful Wu Meiniang. hand, but it was unexpected.

Yu Wenlong was also worried in his heart: "That fellow Fang Er is really angry..."

Thinking about it, even though the battle between the two sides has become a see-saw trend, and there have been occasional victories since Fang Junchi helped Chang'an, the huge gap between the two sides cannot be smoothed out by a few small victories.To this day, the East Palace is prone to overturning, and no mistakes can be made. Fang Jun's pressure can be imagined.

Under such circumstances, as an in-law, the Wenshui Wu clan was not only willing to join Guan Long as an enemy of Fang Jun, but also went deep into strategic locations as a vanguard, trying to deal a fatal blow to Fang Jun. How could Fang Jun bear it?

Someone couldn't help but said: "But this is too cruel! The Wenshui Wu family is not a big family, with limited background, eight thousand soldiers and horses have already wiped out the family property, and now they were annihilated and all slaughtered in the First World War. In the future, I’m afraid he won’t even be considered powerful.”

At any rate, they were relatives of his own family, but Fang Jun just caught his relatives and beat them to death. This kind of cruel and ruthless style made everyone fear him.

Seeing that the situation is unfavorable, this stick is always red-eyed, regardless of relatives and distances, he will kill anyone who dares to stand in his way!
The surrounding generals all looked pale and worried, and prayed to the Buddha to bless them and never confront You Tunwei, otherwise everyone's fate would not be much better than that of Wen Shui Wu's...

Yu Wenlong also thought so.

The Yuwen family is now regarded as the second most powerful family in Guanlong, second only to the eldest grandson's family who have been rampant in the court and grabbed countless benefits these years.This is entirely dependent on the family background accumulated by the ancestors when they were in charge of the military lord of Woye Town. Today, Woye Town is still the back garden of the Yuwen family.

Youtunwei is notorious for his toughness. In the head-to-head battle between Dadoubagu and Tuyuhun cavalry, the soldiers came out of Baidao and killed Xue Yantuo in the ice and snow in Mobei. The tough battles showed the strength of Youtunwei.Even if such an army can defeat it, it is bound to pay a huge price.

The Yuwen family was unwilling to bear that price.

If the progress on my side is slower, let the Changsun family arrive at Longshouyuan first, and the whole body will be affected by a single stroke, which will completely pour the attacking vitality of the Youtunwei on the Changsun family. Everyone will suffer serious losses.

Under the ebb and flow, the Yuwen family can't wait for the opportunity to break into the Xuanwu Gate, and will overwhelm the Changsun family in the future, becoming the veritable No. [-] clan in Guanlong...

Yu Wenlong's thoughts turned, weighing the pros and cons, and ordered: "The right guards are rampant, violent, cruel and bloody, like beasts in cages, they can only be outsmarted, not invincible. Pass my military order, and the whole army marches outside Gwanghwamun, Form an formation on the spot, and wait for the scouts to send back the detailed defense strategy of the right guard before continuing to march, and if you violate the order, you will be executed without mercy!"

"Here!"

The left and right generals breathed a sigh of relief.

This army brought together a number of powerful and private armies, and reorganized one under the command of Yu Wenlong. The reason why everyone entered Guanzhong to participate in the war was similar. One was afraid of the coercion and temptation of Changsun Wuji, and the other was optimistic that Guan Long would win in the end. , I want to enter the customs to grab benefits.

But it definitely does not include fighting Donggong desperately.

The Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time, and the previous pattern that a family is an army has long since disappeared. It is just that everyone relies on the foundation accumulated before the founding of the country to maintain more or less private armies. In the world, Emperor Gaozu was quite tolerant to the various families. As long as he did not harm one party and resisted the imperial government's decree, he acquiesced to the existence of this kind of private army.

However, as His Majesty Li Er made great efforts to govern, the national power was booming, especially when the Tang army swept Liuhe and the world was invincible, which made the existence of powerful and private armies extremely obtrusive.

The country is getting stronger and stronger, and the clans will naturally be weakened. It is impossible to recruit young and strong into the private army as before.What's more, the national power is getting stronger and stronger, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. No one is willing to sacrifice their lives for the powerful. Since they use swords as soldiers, why not just join the government soldiers and fight for the country?The Great Tang was almost invincible in its foreign wars. Every time an enemy country was overthrown, countless meritorious deeds were assigned to the generals and soldiers. Why bother to work for the powerful for a bite of food...

Therefore, these armies entering the customs right now are almost the last property of every family. If this battle is exhausted, it is impossible to replenish them.

How can the elites in the world, who have already deeply rooted the idea of ​​"the one who has soldiers is the king of grass heads", endure the days when there is no private army to suppress one side and seize the wealth and interests of one place?
That's why the big guys were overjoyed when they saw Yu Wenlong giving orders in a serious manner, looking cautious and careful at every step, but in fact he was full of fear of Youtunwei.

This is just to mix things up, just to make up the number, no one wants to rush to the front and have a tough fight with the Youtun Wei Dao...

……

Right Tunwei Daying.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Fang Jun sat in the middle, and news from all walks of life flew in like snowflakes, gathered together.Near the end of the ugly hour, nearly two hours had passed since the rebels suddenly dispatched troops, Fang Jun suddenly felt something was wrong...

He carefully flipped through the reports piled up on the table from beginning to end, and before coming to the map, starting from Tonghua Gate, his fingers followed the long and narrow area between Longshou Canal and Chang'an City Wall bit by bit. To the north, the time of each memorial will be marked with a corresponding place where the rebels arrived.Then start from the Kaiyuan Gate in the west of the city, and head north all the way, checking every location.

The final position that the rebels have reached so far is that Changsun Jiaqing's department is still five miles away from Longshouyuan, which is already close to the Forbidden Garden outside Daming Palace, while Yuwenlong's department is ten miles west of Gwanghwamun, and Chan Bing by the Yong'an Canal. There is still a distance of nearly twenty miles between Po and Gao Kan's troops.

That is to say, the rebel army came in a fierce manner, but after walking for two hours, they only traveled less than [-] miles.

You know, the vanguard of these two armies are all cavalry...

The momentum is so huge, but the march is so "turtle speed", and the rebels from the east and the west are almost in step. What kind of medicine is sold in Huludao?

It stands to reason that the rebel army dispatched so many troops, and the left and right sides advanced side by side. The purpose is obviously to attack the right garrison guard with two prongs, so that the right garrison guard loses sight of the other. Come down and continue to gather troops to raid the Xuanwu Gate, or return to the negotiating table, you can gain a great initiative.

However, now the two armies are advancing slowly at the same speed, giving up the opportunity to directly attack the Right Tunwei, which is really puzzling...

Is there some strategic conspiracy that I can't see?

Fang Jun couldn't help being a little anxious, thinking that it would be good if Li Jing was here. When it comes to marching formations and strategic decision-making, no one in the world can surpass Li Jing, and he is just a person who builds a super army relying on the far-sighted vision of a traverser. It's just "waste material", which is really not good at it.

Maybe it's because Changsun's family and Yuwen's family are at odds with each other, and they both hope that the other side can take a step forward to attract the main firepower of Youtunwei, while the other side can take advantage of the vacancy, reduce casualties and at the same time obtain greater results?

The matter is of great importance, how to deal with it not only determines the life and death of Youtunwei, but also the life and death of the Crown Prince of the East Palace, a slight negligence will lead to a big mistake.

Fang Jun weighed it over and over again, he didn't dare to make a decision without authorization, so he called Wei Ying, the leader of his own army, to avoid the generals in the tent and join the army, and said with his ear: "Hold the token of my commander, and immediately enter the Xuanwu Gate to see Li Jing, and report the situation here. Inform them in detail, and ask them to analyze the pros and cons and make decisions on their behalf."

Professional things have to be handled by professional people, and Li Jing must be able to see the strategy of the rebel army at a glance...

"Here!"

Wei Ying took the order and left.

Fang Jun sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and as the news that the two enemy troops were gradually approaching continued to come, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

You can't just sit around like this, you must first choose a plan to deal with the rebels' offensive, otherwise, if Li Jing is also uncertain, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?

Fang Jun weighed left and right, and felt that he should take the initiative to attack instead of sitting still. If Li Jing's judgment was different from his own, at worst he would withdraw the military order and make arrangements.
