Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3947 Please decide
The drizzle was continuous, and the night was pattering. This kind of weather not only did not make the soldiers feel guilty, but felt cool during the march, and their bodies became more and more excited.

The light cavalry in front was blocked by the right guard and forced to return. The news spread in the army, and the left and right guards were all excited!
"Mother! Did the Youtun guard take the wrong medicine? He was fighting with the Guanlong army before, and suddenly he became a guard?"

"Guan Long rebelled, plotting to usurp the throne, heinous crimes, You Tunwei is helping the evildoers!"

"Do you really think that after a few victories, you will become the strongest army in the Tang Dynasty? Dare to block the way of our Zuo Wuwei, you are courting death!"

"Rush up and let them see that the water is the number one army in the Tang Dynasty!"

……

Facing the excited soldiers and generals below, Cheng Yaojin sat on the horseback very calmly, wiped the rainwater off his face, and asked, "Where is You Houwei now?"

The general around him replied: "It's on our east side, and it's preventing us from crossing Bashui and rushing to Dayun Temple."

Cheng Yaojin pondered for a while, and gave an order: "The whole army marched forward, and lined up in front of the right garrison, a stone's throw away, and set up a strong attacking formation, but without the commander's order, no one is allowed to step forward. You are not allowed to join forces with the Youtunwei!"

The generals were stunned for a moment, and someone said angrily: "You Tun Wei is deceiving people too much! We are here to arrest the murderers who slaughtered Cui's village, why should they stop them? If they stop you, Commander, you can't explain it! "

"We don't have to be afraid of him guarding the right. The last general asks for orders and leads the headquarters to raid his position. If he can't break through in one fell swoop, come and see him!"

"Shut up, daddy!"

Cheng Yaojin glared angrily, and shouted: "Is this the commander-in-chief or are you the commander-in-chief? Let me act according to the order. If anyone violates the military order, he will follow the military law!"

"Here!"

All the arrogant soldiers dared not say anything, although they were not angry at the domineering of the Right Guards, they could only honestly lead the army forward to the place where the Right Guards were within a stone's throw, and then lined up to fight against the Right Guards covetously. Tunwei confrontation, can launch a surprise attack at any time.

For a moment, swords were tense and murderous.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the Youtunwei army formation from a distance, but he was very satisfied with Gao Kan in his heart: This kid has a lot of eyes, and if he is not sure if Zuowuwei is true or not, he will stop him first. Long has no intention of killing, no matter how noisy he is, he will not seriously launch an attack; on the contrary, if he launches an attack immediately, Gao Kan will let go of the road and let Zuo Wuwei go up the mountain.

have a future.

……

On the other side, Yu Chigong was in a hurry. He led You Houwei from the south of Lishan Mountain, because he was traveling along the east bank of Bashui, and he had to cross Bashui to reach Dayun Temple, while Cheng Yaojin was on the west side of Bashui, so he only needed To the south, you can reach Dayun Temple at the source of Bashui and Chanshui, so the distance and time required for the two sides to march are different. If you can't catch up with Cheng Yaojin, the remnants of Guanlong retreating to Dayun Temple will be in danger. .

But on the other hand, he is unwilling to fight directly with Zuo Wuwei, otherwise the situation will have no room for improvement...

The soldiers under his command collected fishing boats and planks nearby, and built a pontoon bridge in the upper reaches of the Bashui River where the river was not wide but the water was fast-flowing.

It's just that the pontoon bridge is too narrow, and the speed of the army crossing the river is too slow...

Yuchi Gong stayed behind on the east bank of the Bashui River on his horse, watching his troops crossing the river slowly, a scout came galloping in the distance, and when he got close, he reported: "Commander, Zuo Wuwei has arrived at the foot of Dayun Temple Mountain , but was blocked by the Right Tunwei."

Yu Chigong was refreshed, and hurriedly asked: "But the Right Tunwei took the initiative to intercept?"

The scout replied: "That's right. You Tunwei has formed a formation and is waiting, and he threatened that no one would ever pass them up the mountain. His attitude is extremely firm."

Yuchi Gong let out a long breath, and put his heart back in his stomach.

If You Tunwei can stop Zuo Wuwei, no matter what the reason is, he is willing to see it. In that way, the nobles of Guan Long will be saved, and they will not go to war with Zuo Wuwei. "treason" charge...

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the troops crossing the river at the other end of the pontoon bridge ahead, and the troops crossing the river also stopped.

Yu Chigong was startled, and hurriedly said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and check!"

"Here!"

The soldiers came out on horseback, returned not long after, and reported back: "You Tunwei sent a cavalry to block our way, saying that we should not cross the river to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Please stay in the east of Bashui. Otherwise, it will prevent us from crossing the river."

The generals of the nearby Youhou guards burst into anger and shouted and cursed one after another.

Yu Chigong waved his hand, stopped the generals from shouting and cursing, looked up at the pontoon bridge, and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw all the troops crossing the river, we will garrison here, and make plans when the situation changes."

Although the generals under his command were not angry, they did not dare to disobey the military order, they responded in unison, sent an order to withdraw the troops crossing the river, and then set up camp on the spot.

Yu Chigong got off his horse, called two of his own soldiers, and said: "Immediately cross the river in ambush to the south, and rush to Dayun Temple to report the situation here to Lord Zhao. , Before Youtunwei and Zuowuwei, I dare not say that I will win, and I am afraid that the two guards will be angered and will be disadvantageous to Dayun Temple, so I set up camp for the time being, and I ask Zhao Guogong to announce the next move."

If he simply stood in front of the Dayun Temple to block Zuo Wuwei, he would still be somewhat certain that a large-scale battle would not break out. After all, in his opinion, Cheng Yaojin might not necessarily obey the orders of the Shandong family, but now he added another You Tunwei, then you have to be careful.

The Three Guards entangled endlessly in the narrow and long area between Bashui and Chanshui, and a little carelessness may cause misunderstandings and lead to melee.

If they fight in a daze, it will be completely out of control...

*****
At the beginning of Maoshi, the sky was dim and the light rain continued.

A horse came galloping from a distance, and the sound of the horse's hooves smashed the silence around, startling the resident birds in the forest, ignoring the rain, flapping their wings and flying.

The Youtunwei scouts who were cruising nearby gathered quickly, and when they found out that the rider was one of their own, they let him go, let him go straight to the camp, and submitted Gao Kan's battle report to the Chinese army account.

Fang Jun just woke up from the hard bed in the camp, put on his clothes, yawned and brushed his teeth, rubbing his sore psoas muscles with his hands.

The family members of the East Palace are all in the Youtunwei camp, and they live together with Princess Gaoyang. To avoid suspicion, Fang Jun dare not go back to the residence to sleep, so he can only sleep in this Chinese military tent. The bed is too hard, and the The constant battle reports ahead led to a night of sleepless nights, feeling a little lethargic and uncomfortable.

The battle report from Gao Kan was submitted, and of course there was also the letter from Yuwen Shiji. Fang Jun read it at a glance, and his eyes almost popped out...

Gao Kan, what are you going to do, you bastard?
With you on the front line, you actually went to recruit women for me?

This is the daughter of the grandson's family and the daughter of the Yuwen family... Aren't you afraid of making Princess Gao Yang and Wu Meiniang jealous, and making me unable to have intercourse for half a year?

You really want to go to heaven!

Although he knew that Gao Kan's move was to find a strong support for him, and with Guan Long's full support, he would not be afraid of the provocation, rejection, and suppression of the elites in Shandong and Jiangnan in the court, but this kind of "negotiating peace" Things still make him flustered...

After thinking for a while, he got up and dressed neatly, took the letter out of the big tent, led dozens of personal soldiers and rode to Xuanwu Gate, called to open the city gate, went straight into Taiji Palace, and arrived at Wude Hall to meet the prince.

Li Chengqian was sitting on his knees at the table and eating breakfast, when he saw Fang Jun being rude when he entered the room, he smiled and said, "Can Erlang have breakfast?"

Fang Jun said: "Before it's too late, I just got up to wash up, and I received the high-level battle report in front of me. I dare not be good at it, so I come here to ask His Highness to make a decision."

Li Chengqian asked: "But the military report?"

Fang Jun shook his head: "No fight."

Li Chengqian nodded, waved his hands and said: "It's okay to wait a while, come here, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Duke Yue, and eat with Gu."

The waiter at the side hurriedly brought the bowls and chopsticks, Fang Jun thanked him and said: "Thank you for the gift, Your Highness, but I am not respectful."

They sat opposite Li Chengqian and had dinner together.

They didn't talk much when they were eating or sleeping, and the two of them didn't talk much. After the early meal, they served tea. Then Fang Jun took out the letterhead of Gao Kan and Yuwen Shiji and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian read it one by one, and when he raised his head to look at Fang Jun, his eyes were inevitably surprised and his expression was strange...

It is an unavoidable situation that powerful people from Jiangnan and Shandong pour into the court, unless he is willing to freeze the center of the court, unable to rebuild Guanzhong as soon as possible, and fully and timely transition the government to a new era after the death of his father.

But in this way, Fang Jun, as his most valued and trusted minister, and one of the military giants, is bound to be repelled and suppressed by the elites in Jiangnan and Shandong.Fang Jun himself is not a power grabber, but if he has no power, he will naturally be restrained and suppressed everywhere. How can he face this loyal and loyal minister who rescued him in danger?

I always want to use Guan Long's honor to balance Shandong and Jiangnan. If Fang Jun can get Guan Long's support, he will not be suppressed by Jiangnan and Shandong, and his amazing talent can also be stretched. At least the miraculous technique of accumulating money can make the treasury more and more full.

But obtaining Guan Long's support through this method of marriage is something Li Chengqian never thought of...

Previously, a daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling married into the Fang family as a concubine. At this time, it was spread all over the world, and there were mixed reviews. I don't know what kind of waves will be caused in the world?

Aristocratic families dominate the world and occupy all resources.

The most important thing for aristocratic families is the height of the lintel. The most senior family members rely on their unparalleled status to look down on all living beings. Although the Guanlongmen family has been repeatedly opposed by the families in Shandong and Jiangnan, they think that their blood of the Hu people is not worthy of being the first in the world. I don't even want to marry my daughter into such a "smelly family" to avoid blood stains, but it is irrefutable that the Guan Longmen Clan has great power and unparalleled political status since entering the Tang Dynasty. wait.

For such a powerful family, to actually marry the prostitute's daughter as a concubine is simply an insult to the dignity of the powerful family...

At the same time, Fang Jun will also have an even more special status due to his in-laws with Jiangnan and Guanlong, plus his previous illustrious military exploits, and his two invincible armies, the Youtunwei and the Navy. , becoming a rock-solid force in the court.

It even caused a certain impact on the foundation of the Eastern Palace. On the one hand, it made the prince's authority more stable, and on the other hand, it was easy to arouse the prince's suspicion...

Therefore, no matter whether Fang Jun agrees or not, this matter cannot be handled by himself, but must be submitted to Li Chengqian, and the crown prince will come down to make a decision.
