Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3958 Under the Chunming sect (continued)

It rained lightly all night, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, until the time of day when the sky was revealed.

Cheng Chubi, who was lying in his clothes, got up from the bed, washed his face indiscriminately, pushed open the door, took a deep breath of the cool and moist air, ignored the fine rain, and lay down on the arrow pile to watch the city, I saw that the already sparse Zuowuwei camp was overcrowded at the moment, soldiers and infantry came in and out, and the big "Cheng" flag was soaked by the rain and drooped listlessly...

It made him feel a little strange.

Two generations of father and son, each commanding troops, above the city and below the city, swords and soldiers face each other!
Cheng Chubi let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked back to the city gate, and asked the captain next to him, "Is there any news from the palace, when will His Highness leave the city?"

The captain shook his head and said: "There is no news for the time being, and there are many discussions about this in the army. They all think that His Highness is probably just declaring his attitude in this way, but in fact he will not go out of the city seriously."

"presumptuous!"

Cheng Chubi snorted, and reprimanded: "Why do we need to talk about important military affairs? As soldiers, we only know how to follow orders. Pass down the order and order the Sima in the army to impose strict restrictions. Who dares to discuss government affairs indiscriminately?" , Severe punishment will not be negligent!"

"Here!"

The soldiers were taken aback, and quickly turned around and trotted down the city, summoning the Sima in the army to convey the military order.

In the battle of Tai Chi Palace, Cheng Chubi and other young generals and other young generals fought to the death with the Guanlong army. They successfully defended the palace and supported it until the end. The prestige of Cheng Chubi, especially Cheng Chubi, who is usually dull and reticent, but his temperament is very stubborn, he does not show favoritism, follows the law, and wins the awe of his subordinates.

No one dared not to take Cheng Chubi's order seriously...

After Cheng Chubi sat down at the desk, some soldiers came in and served a simple breakfast. Just after eating half of it, another person walked in quickly and reported: "General Qi, You Houwei has arrived in the east of Baqiao. They set up camps and blocked the Baqiao."

Cheng Chubi wiped his mouth, got up and went to the map on the wall to observe carefully.

Baqiao had been blown up by Youtunwei in the previous battle, and now there are only two temporary pontoon bridges left, so even if Youhouwei blocked Baqiao, it would not affect the path between the two banks of Bashui, but Yuchi Gong This attitude is intriguing.

As Li Ji's subordinate, he was restrained by Li Ji, but obeyed the orders of the Guanlongmen Clan. Now Chen Bing Baqiao, but he doesn't know whether to advance or retreat, and how to choose when the situation changes suddenly...

After finishing the breakfast, he asked someone to make a pot of tea. Just as he picked up the water cup, another soldier came in and said, "General Qi, the right Tunwei followed Zuo Wuwei back from Zhongnan Mountain, and bypassed the Mingde Gate in the south of the city. , and arrived outside the Chunming Gate, and stationed there.”

Cheng Chubi hurriedly put down his teacup, stood up and left the city tower, and when he came to the female wall, he looked into the distance, and saw a group of soldiers coming from the south, aggressive and fast, and soon arrived at the south side of Chunming Gate. According to Bashui, set up camp.

Although the distance is very far, it can be vaguely seen that his behavior is measured and his military appearance is at its peak. Compared with the rigorous array of Zuo Wuwei, he is more murderous, and he can be called an elite in a hundred battles.

Besides You Tunwei, is there another army like this in the world?

Envious from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Chubi asked the soldiers around him: "Is General Gao Kan in the army?"

The soldiers replied: "The commander of the army is General Gao's deputy general. General Gao has already rushed outside the Xuanwu Gate to ask Duke Yue for instructions on the next move."

Cheng Chubi nodded, and ordered to the lieutenant general on the other side: "Send out all the scouts and keep an eye on the movement of Zuo Wuwei. Once you find that he has assembled an army and intends to attack the right guard, immediately send light cavalry out of the city to harass them. Contain and at the same time warn the right guards, we must not let the left guards attack the camp of the right guards."

The deputy general hurriedly responded, and glanced at the Zuowuwei barracks on the north side of the city, thinking that this pair of father and son would go up and down the city and face the enemy, and I don't know who would win if they really fought...

*****
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, there is a camp of guards on the right.

The sky was slightly bright, and a group of cavalry galloped from south to north in the light rain. The rapid sound of iron hoofs broke the silence of the morning, and it sounded like rolling thunder, which alarmed the nearby Youtunwei scouts to step forward to intercept and find out. However, they all saw the opponent's high-raised waist badge and printed ribbon after approaching, and then let him drive straight into the camp.

Today, Gao Kan has already become the existence of power and prestige among the right guards, second only to Fang Jun, especially before leading half of the right guards to guard the Xuanwu Gate. After being defeated, his prestige increased sharply.

Seeing him rushing back to the camp from Zhongnan Mountain, the scouts not only dared not stop him, they didn't even answer a single question, they obediently gave way, lest they delay the important military affairs...

Gao Kan led a group of personal soldiers to gallop in through the gate of the camp, and then he reined in his horse and stood still when he reached the outside of the tent of the Chinese army. Then he got off his horse and threw the reins to the soldiers. : "Is the commander in the tent?"

The soldier replied: "The commander-in-chief has been staying in the Chinese army for the past few days, and he is having breakfast at the moment."

Gao Kan said: "Please tell me, I have an urgent report on military affairs."

The soldiers stepped aside and said respectfully: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that whenever the general returns, he can directly enter the account without going through a notification."

How does the Chinese army exist?Undoubtedly, the military tent is the Taiji palace in the army, where all the military secrets are gathered, and one cannot even step through the door if one is not of sufficient status, let alone directly entered into the account without a report?This represents Fang Jun's unparalleled trust, which is equivalent to telling everything frankly in front of Gao Kan in the general, and he has no defense against him.

This is the highest level of trust and cannot be increased.

Gao Kan only felt the blood rushing through his body, took a deep breath, nodded and strode into the tent.

……

"Yo, are you back? It's just in time for dinner, come here, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for General Gao, and have dinner with me."

As soon as Gao Kan entered the tent, Fang Jun laughed and called him to have dinner together.

Knowing that Fang Jun has always been informal and friendly, Gao Kan did not refuse. After seeing the ceremony, he sat opposite Fang Jun, took the bowls and chopsticks from the soldiers, and devoured the delicious food.

After the soldiers took away the bowls, chopsticks and meals, and offered tea, and the two sat in front of the window holding teacups, Fang Jun asked, "How is the situation in Guanlong?"

Gao Kan said in a deep voice: "It's not optimistic, Guan Long suffered heavy losses in this defeat, and all the private armies lost their lives. Now we have to rely on Yu Chigong's Right Marquis Guard, but Yu Chigong obviously didn't do his best for Guan Long. , I have a lot of careful thoughts, but this is also normal. Guan Long's visible decline, even with the support of the prince, cannot restore the glory of the past. Who can not hide a little bit of caution? Not stiff, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter what, Guanlong’s background is still there, if he can get their full support, the commander-in-chief will have a little more room to move around in the court, and he will not be sent to Shandong. , the crowding out of the powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River."

Fang Jun knocked on the coffee table and said angrily: "So, you made it your own to win over two marriages for this commander? It's nonsense! This commander and the Lanling Xiao family are also related by marriage, but when the benefits are at stake, have you ever met? How about Xiao Yu resigning his righteousness and keeping righteousness, standing on the side of this commander? The Lanling Xiao family can’t be trusted, let alone the eldest grandson and Yuwen family? For the family’s family interests, the family’s interests are paramount. What is good in Qin and Jin Dynasties? Jie Jinlan, once it conflicts with its own interests, it's all nonsense."

Marriage with the eldest grandson and Yuwen cannot be said to be useless, but it can only be said to be better than nothing. When the situation is going well, Guanlong's help is naturally the icing on the cake, but once the situation is difficult, the Guanlong clan will not sneak a knife in the back. Thank goodness, can you still count on them to make great efforts to send charcoal in the snow?

However, Gao Kan's nonsense like this was considered by the prince to be a clever trick. Even if Fang Jun did not have much substantial benefit in the end, it would make the Guanlongmen Clan feel at ease after all, and be able to assist Donggong wholeheartedly instead of facing Qin Muchu, Two-faced and three-handed, causing Fang Jun to refuse even if he wants to...

Gao Kan was a little dissatisfied, and argued: "Even if there is no benefit, there will be no harm after all, right? Although the eldest grandson and the Yuwen family are not as noble and honorable as the five surnames and seven clans, they are among the best in the world after all. It is not bad for a high-ranking lord to bring the two prostitutes into the mansion in one fell swoop, which will increase the prestige of the commander-in-chief."

Even though His Majesty Li Er has made up his mind to weaken the powerful family, support the poor family, and take various measures since he took the throne, this world is still the world of the powerful family, and the nobility of the family means a higher status and more power.

At least for the foreseeable decades, the clan will still exist as the supreme ruler of the empire.

Bringing the daughter of a wealthy family into the mansion as a concubine is the most direct way to enhance the prestige and status. If it is not for the power, which family is willing to give their daughter as a concubine?
The royal family of Li Tang was rated as the first class in the world by "Clan Chronicles", and they were rich all over the world with the sun and the moon in their hands, but they couldn't dream of the prostitute daughter of the five surnames.

Fang Jun was speechless, he could not stop this matter, otherwise the crown prince would not agree, so he had to remind Gao Kan: "I am fine, what is there to complain about marrying two beautiful girls like flowers and jade? It's just that General Gao still It's better to be careful, Princess Gaoyang seems to be a little unhappy about this matter, and she might cause trouble for you."

Princess Gao Yang has never been a jealous woman, she was born in the royal family and was taught the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, three obedience and four virtues since she was a child, and she never sneered or persecuted Fang Jun's concubines.But the general under his command went out to fight for a while, and found two concubines for his husband. I am afraid that no matter how big-hearted a woman is, she can't bear it...

Gao Kan was startled, his heart skipped a beat, and he slapped his forehead: "The general is so confused, he actually forgot about this! Well...the army has arrived outside the Chunming gate, and the situation may change at any time, the general must go to sit in the guard !"

Immediately, he asked Fang Jun how to deal with the situation once the situation changed, and asked what attitude he should respond to Zuo Wuwei and You Houwei, so he got up and said goodbye, leaving like burning his butt.

Fang Jun watched Gao Kan hurried out, and asked Wei Ying beside him, "Have you ever sent someone to inform His Highness Gao Yang?"

Wei Ying said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to tell the maid next to His Highness that the maid will deliberately leak the news that General Gao has arrived at the barracks."

Fang Jun nodded in satisfaction, and took a sip of tea comfortably.
