Tiantang Splendid

4212 - Chapter [-]
Hangu Pass was first built in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it was often abandoned. During the Warring States period, King Hui of Qin seized the land of Weihan from Wei State and re-established Hangu Pass to shield things from east to west.Hangu Pass is located on the plateau in the west, adjacent to Jujian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. The throat has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Teams of soldiers and horses arrived here through the mountain stream from west to east, and entered Chengguan.

Qiu Xinggong put on his helmet and armor, rode straight to the city pass with Yuwen Shi and others, dismounted and dismounted when greeted by the guards, and asked the soldiers to hand over the official document from the king of Jin ordering him to take over Hangu Pass. After verification, the whole army entered Guan took over the defense, while Qiu Xinggong climbed up to Guancheng with Yuwen Shi and dozens of soldiers, stood on the tower, and looked around.

It was already late autumn at that time, the city gate was located in Hangu, the mountains on both sides were steep and rolling, undulating like waves, the forests were green, the forests were all dyed, the autumn wind was rustling, and geese were flying in the sky.

The terrain is steep, and one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Yu Wenshi and sighed: "Such a powerful pass can isolate the east and west and shield the two capitals. However, from ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon to break through the pass. It can be seen that although the pass city is great, it is not the pass that prevents the enemy from the former."

No matter how majestic Guancheng is, it needs people to guard it. If the army is not strong and morale is not strong, it is just a pile of bricks and rubble, which cannot stop the enemy's offensive like a tide.

Qiu Xinggong pressed the saber on his waist with one hand, looked sharply at the undulating mountains far away, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Duke Ying, I will definitely guard the pass until the moment you persuade Zheng Rentai to come to support, if If the enemy dares to come, even if the blood is spilled here, they will fight to the death."

Tongguan Hedgehogs has an army of more than [-], but it lacks elite troops, and it lacks veteran generals who can stand on their own. Under the order of Li Zhi, Yuwen Shi and Li Zhi rushed to Xingyang to lobby Zheng Rentai. Can tie the Zheng family of Xingyang to King Jin's chariot.

Holding the arrow butt, Yuwen Shiji looked at the clusters of mountains and mountains in front of him, and explained: "It's not that His Highness doesn't trust you to guard Hangu Pass, but His Highness needs you to charge forward and lead the army to counterattack Chang'an. I'm leaving now. Even if Zheng Rentai can be persuaded to come out of the mountain again, the Zheng family of Xingyang may not be willing to face Chang'an directly, but will spare no effort to guard Hangu Pass."

Now the aristocratic family of Shandong and the King of Jin are one with each other and advance and retreat together, but how can Yuwen scholars not know the way of life of the aristocratic family?No matter how seamless the alliance is, there will always be a way out, and they will never fight with their backs.

Qiu Xinggong smiled, and said loudly: "Duke Ying, don't worry, the reason why I defected to King Jin was neither for wealth, nor for power. I only hope that I can lead the army to Chang'an, and have the opportunity to fight against that traitor Fang Jun again." Fight to the death! If Your Highness really wants me to guard Hangu Pass to the death, I won’t do it!"

"Haha, good! You are worthy of being my son of Guanlong, with high blood and a heart higher than the sky, so the old man is relieved, and now I will rush to Xingyang, and I must persuade Zheng Rentai to block the enemy from Hangu Pass!"

Yuwen Shi laughed twice, exchanged salutes with Qiu Xinggong, and then went down the Chengguan, with more than ten retinues, rode out of the pass and disappeared on the winding and steep Hangu Road in a blink of an eye.

Qiu Xinggong stood alone on the tower, with the mountain wind blowing in, his face was like iron.

British government.

Inside the study, Li Ji and Fang Jun sat and drank wine. Li Yulong, who was dressed in white and slim but with a woman's hair in a bun, carried a wooden tray, walked gracefully into the room, came to the mat and knelt down, her waist and hips curved Graceful, with a gentle and bright smile, she put the dishes in the tray on the table one by one, and then held the pot in her plain hand and poured wine for the two of them.

Looking at Fang Jun with wide eyes, he asked with a smile: "Brother seems to have lost weight recently, but he is too tired and has a poor diet? The sisters-in-law are also really careless. How about waiting for the elder brother to be on duty tomorrow and the younger sister to be stewed?" Some supplements will be sent to you, so you can make up for it."

Fang Jun did not decline, and said frankly: "I have been busy recently, thank you sister in advance."

Seeing his agreement, Li Yulong immediately beamed with joy, and used the public chopsticks to put vegetables on Fang Jun's plate, and said with a smile: "Brother, try this white-cut shredded chicken. The recipe from the south of the Yangtze River, my little sister has been thinking about it for a long time before I get a three-point truth." smell, I will cook it myself today.”

Li Ji's face was not very good-looking, he coughed dryly, glanced at his daughter, and said indifferently: "Erlang hasn't come to the house for a long time, and I happened to talk about something today, it's an important military matter, so it won't fall into the ears of others."

Li Yulong was very dissatisfied with such an obvious intention to drive away, but it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he gave his father a reproachful look, and smiled at Fang Jun: "The elder brother will accompany the father to eat wine, and the younger sister will boil the water later. Let me make you tea."

In front of Li Ji, Fang Jun was also a little embarrassed by the girl's enthusiasm, and said with a smile: "So, thank you sister."

Li Yulong smiled sweetly, stood up and retreated gracefully.

After he left, Li Ji toasted, Fang Jun quickly toasted and touched each other, and they both drank in one gulp.

Fang Jun filled the wine glass with the pot, and asked: "Military affairs are important, but sister Yulong's lifelong affairs cannot be delayed. I wonder if uncle has any plans?"

Although Li Yulong had reconciled with Du Huaigong long ago, but Du Huaigong died in the Duling Manor, which had some impact on Li Yulong's reputation, and being a reconciled wife, it was hard to find such a marriage.Li Ji has great prestige and power, and there are countless people who want to cling to power. It is natural for a woman who is willing to marry his daughter to be like a crucian carp crossing the river. marriage.

Li Ji was speechless, and said impatiently: "You don't need to care about this matter, I will take it to heart."

Fang Jun simply shut up and toasted.

Of course, it is impossible for him to be ignorant of Li Yulong's affection for him, but he just treats her like a younger sister, without any obscenities. The more he cares about Li Yulong's marriage, the more Li Ji feels that he has bad intentions...

The two drank a few glasses of wine, ate small dishes, and chatted about unimportant things. While talking, Li Ji suddenly sighed and said: "I think back then, you and Siwen and others ran rampant in Chang'an, lawless, and even called" "Chang'an pests", those censor officials wish they could skin you and cramp you up to eliminate harm for the people. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, in just a few years, you have already put on a purple robe, and are ministers in the same palace with me. It's unbelievable what a feat it has been."

The more troublesome children are, the more promising they are. This is an old saying, and it makes sense.

Rowling children tend to be quick-thinking, daring, and better at handling things. Once on the right path, they generally show higher abilities than those who are usually submissive and follow the rules.

But like Fang Jun, growing from a blunt and uneducated dude to an important court minister is really shocking.

This child seemed to be possessed by something, and suddenly he opened his eyes...

Fang Jun said modestly: "My nephew used to be absurd, lazy, and reckless. Fortunately, the late emperor and all the uncles took care of him, so he was able to correct his evil ways and do something that is beneficial to the court and the world. I have made a little effort, and I always think about it. I knew I was lucky, but I was so grateful.”

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere of the court was indeed extremely harmonious.

A group of ministers of Zhenguan all followed His Majesty Li Er to conquer the world, fought against the desperate situation, made untold achievements, sealed their wives and sons, and became rich and prominent.Naturally, there is a bit of embarrassment due to the competition for interests between each other, but His Majesty Li Er, who has strong leadership, is in the middle, and everyone's battles often end at the point, and they will not become endless enemies.

In addition, they are more tolerant towards each other's nephews. Otherwise, Fang Jun would seriously injure the sons of Xunchen today, and beat up the prince and prince tomorrow... one after another, who can tolerate him?
Li Ji drank and remained silent.

It was natural, but inevitable, for the topic to turn to His Majesty Li Er.Fang Jun came to the door immediately after the new emperor ascended the throne, apparently on order. Although he did not reveal Li Chengqian's original intention, he also used this relatively gentle method to find out his position.

Seeing that Li Ji was silent, Fang Jun didn't go around the bush anymore, and said bluntly, "Paper paper, uncle, you are the Minister Zuo Pushe, the head of the minister and minister, and the number one civil servant; in terms of martial arts, you have great military exploits and an unsurpassed reputation. No. 1 in the military, even the Duke of Wei is willing to bow down. At a time when the imperial power is changing, the court is in turmoil, the general situation in the world is turbulent, and there are frequent disasters such as wars and chaos in China, but I don’t know how uncle will deal with it?"

You are the head of the powerful ministers, with the ability to resist the world, how can you keep silent and stay out of it?
Others can watch the fire from the other side, but you can't.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and the dynasty has changed, you are still so indifferent and do nothing, really don't care about your wealth and life, let alone the name behind you?
You have to make a statement.
