Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3732 Military emergency

Li Jing got up, walked to the map hanging on one side of the wall, and carefully checked the marching routes and defensive arrangements of both sides. He moved his gaze away from the vast Forbidden Garden on the west side of Yong'an Canal, and focused on the East Inner Garden and Longshou Pool on the east side of Daming Palace. Pick up the red pen made of cinnabar placed next to it, and draw a circle at the Yamato Gate.

It is conceivable that when the news of the battle between the Yuwenlong tribe and the Gaokan tribe spread to Changsun Jiaqing, he would definitely speed up and go straight to Daming Palace, trying to capture Longshouyuan, which was short of troops, and then take advantage of the geographical advantage, or immediately stationed troops in Daming Palace against the right village. Wei Daying threatened them, or simply gathered troops and swooped down, heading straight for Xuanwu Gate.

The battle situation became tense in an instant.

Everywhere is the key, and Youtunwei's response is not allowed to have the slightest mistake.

Daming Palace's troops are definitely insufficient, they can only parry but have no power to fight back. Facing the mad attack of Changsun Jiaqing's men, they must defend the front line of Yamato Gate, otherwise, once the rebels break into the palace, the defeat may be irreversible.The Gao Kan tribe not only wants to defeat the Yuwenlong tribe, but also kills them as much as possible and severely damages their strength. The most important thing is to make a quick decision so that they can mobilize troops to return to the Daming Palace...

If this step can be successfully completed, then the strength of the rebel army will be severely damaged after this battle, and the situation in Chang'an will be reversed instantly. At least in the north of Chang'an City, the East Palace will use a greater advantage to connect China and foreign countries and obtain supplies. never fail.

Of course, once there is a problem in any of the links, the waiting for Youtunwei will be beyond redemption...

"Report! Changsun Jiaqing's department hastened to Dongneiyuan, and the target is probably the South Dahe Gate of Longshouyuan."

"Report! Tubo Huqi detoured to the rear of Yuwenlongbu, and was speeding up to insert behind Yuwenlongbu. At present, Yuwenlongbu and Gaokanbu are fighting fiercely in the west of Yong'an Canal."

……

Countless battle reports were delivered one by one, and Li Jing personally marked them on the map. The trajectories of the armies of both sides and the place where the battle took place, presented the current battle situation in the north of Chang'an City in front of everyone.

The hall was solemn, and even Liu Ji, who had been extremely humiliated before, completely forgot his embarrassment and embarrassment, and stared closely at the map on the wall.

It was as if a magnificent scroll of war was unfolding in front of everyone, and Fang Jun's tall and straight figure stood in the Chinese army, and his soldiers rushed to the battlefield under his orders one by one, with high morale and death without hesitation!In the vast area north of Chang'an City, the nearly 20 armies of both sides are all pawns, allowing them to slap Fang Qiu and command as determined.

At least at this moment, the life and death of the entire East Palace rests on Fang Jun. If he wins, the East Palace will reverse its decline and the will will be bright;

Liu Ji sighed softly, and said: "I also hope that the Duke of Yue will live up to His Highness's trust, and be able to win the battle and defeat the rebels."

These words may be just a moment of emotion, and there is no meaning behind the words, but in fact, it is hard to avoid the feeling of "Fang Jun can't win this battle, I'm sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince"...

The faces of all the ministers changed.

Others may still be concerned about Liu Ji's status as a "servant", but Li Daozong, who is a royal family, didn't care at all. He slapped the table with a "bang" and said angrily, "How shameless is Liu Shizhong? When Tuyuhun invaded Hexi, the Manchu dynasty Civil and military are silent like cicadas, fearing them like tigers, it is Fang Jun who leads the army to fight, and lives to death! The big cannibals invaded the Western Regions, invaded half of the Silk Road that our Han family has operated for hundreds of years, cut off merchants, and Fang Jun rushed to the Western Regions without stopping. An enemy twice as powerful as himself fought bloody battles to the death! When the rebels rose up and wanted to sever Zhengshuo of the empire, it was Fang Jun who was not afraid of hardships and rushed back thousands of miles to help, so that the situation we have today! , but put all this burden on one person, he is helpless when facing a strong enemy, he only knows how to make peace, but he still wants to stab someone behind his back like this, what is the reason?"

Civil officials have long been deeply involved in the struggle for power and profit, but they will not let go of any opportunity to grab benefits, and they don't care about the overall situation. Li Daozong doesn't care about this, and it has nothing to do with him.But today, Fang Jun's meritorious service is enough to shine in the world, but he still has to be wantonly slandered by these brazen civil servants, which he cannot bear.

Even if the final outcome of the battle outside the city ended with Fang Jun's defeat, how could it be Fang Jun's crime?
Li Jing, who knew that he was not talented enough in politics and rarely got involved in such battles, spoke again, stabbed Liu Ji again, shook his head and sighed: "At the beginning of Zhenguan, we followed Your Majesty and swept all the princes in the world. At that time, there were [-] scholars in the palace of the King of Qin, who were able to stabilize the country with literary skills and decisively win the battlefield with martial arts. At the moment, it is useless at all, it can only hide in the nest and shiver like a baby bird, and keep chirping..."

Hey!
The ministers were once again shocked by Li Jing. What kind of medicine did this taciturn Duke of Wei take today?

Even Li Chengqian was amazed by Li Jing, looked him up and down in surprise, wondering why Duke Wei performed so well today...

Liu Ji spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

He glared at Li Jing, opened his mouth to speak, and was about to turn back, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian waving his hand, His Royal Highness said in a deep voice: "Yue Guozheng is fighting bloody battles outside the city. This is not only the duty of a famous general, but also the duty of a minister." Zhongliang, how can we judge his merits by victory or defeat? We live here, we must be grateful no matter what, and we must not let the heroes feel cold."

In one sentence, Liu Ji's remarks were refuted.

Liu Jie is in a daze today, and his mental sensitivity is very different from usual, because Li Jingzhi's extraordinary performance has hit him too hard, and all of them hit his vitals.

He could only say in a shy voice: "Your Highness is wise..."

"Report!"

Another scout came in: "His Royal Highness, Changsun Jiaqing's department has arrived in Dongneiyuan, storming the Yamato Gate!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Li Chengqian also got up quickly, and stood side by side with Li Jing before coming to the map. Looking at the location of the Yamato Gate marked by Li Jing on the map, he couldn't help but glance at Li Jing. , has already foreseen that this place must be the place of decisive battle...

Then he asked: "Just now, who is guarding the Yamato Gate?"

Li Jing replied: "It's Wang Fangyi! This son is a distant branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He used to serve in the Anxi Army and was the captain of the scout team. The Duke of Yue marched west, and he was recruited to serve under the Duke of Yue. He loved his talent, so he was transferred to his subordinates, and he was taken with him when he returned to Beijing to help him, and he is now the captain of Youtunwei."

Li Chengqian frowned, and said worriedly: "This son may have some talent, but after all, he is young and lacks experience. The Yamato Sect is such an important place, with less than [-] soldiers, can it withstand the onslaught of eldest grandson Jiaqing?"

Li Jing then said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Duke of Yue has always had the knowledge of people. He must have considered the importance of the Yamato Gate at the beginning of the war, but he still placed Wang Fangyi here, which shows that he must have full confidence in him. Besides, his subordinates Although the number of soldiers is small, there are more than a thousand armored cavalry of the most elite guards in the right guard, and their combat power is not as low as it seems."

Hearing what Li Jing said, Li Chengqian nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

Indeed, Fang Jun's "knowledge of people" is almost recognized by the government and the public, but all the talents he recruited under his command, whether they are traffickers or pawns or children of aristocratic families, will emerge in a short time, such as Liu Rengui, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian and others are now even experienced On the one hand, it can be called amazing talent.

Since Wang Fangyi was brought back from the Western Regions and entrusted with an important task, it is obvious that he is very optimistic about his ability, so it is not possible to train newcomers at such a terrible time...

My heart was a little wider, and I asked again: "Is this how we look at it?"

Donggong Liu led tens of thousands of people to stand on guard, but until now the rebels had not made any movement in the city, the outside of the city was fighting vigorously, and the inside of the city was too quiet.Fang Jun led the soldiers under his command to go through bloody battles, and the Sixth Commander of the East Palace just watched the excitement from the sidelines, so he couldn't bear it...

Li Jing frowned slightly.

This idea is not only shared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but all the civil servants in the East Palace probably think so...

He solemnly said: "His Royal Highness, the Sixth Commander of the East Palace and the Right Tunwei are all one. If they can dispatch troops to rescue, how can the veteran sit idly by? It's just that the rebels in the city seem to have no movement at the moment, but they must have already prepared Sufficiently, as long as we dispatch troops and horses out of the city, the rebels will kill them immediately! Changsun Wuji may not be as good as the old minister in terms of military strategy, but his city is deep and his strategy is insidious, and he will never push all his troops to the Xuanwu Gate. Your Highness, please be careful!"

The crown prince was obviously influenced by those civil servants. If he insisted on dispatching the six leaders of the East Palace to go out of the city for rescue, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to the crown prince Junling, then it would be troublesome. His Highness must let the prince give up the idea of ​​going out of the city to rescue... …
