Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4395 The decisive battle is imminent
Seeing that Zhang Liang was silent, Xu Jingzong teased with a smile: "The Duke of Yun refuses to accept the Duke of Yue, so he doesn't think he is better than the Duke of England, does he?"

I can't say no to you, do you still dare to refute Li Ji?

Zhang Liang was silent for a while, looked at Li Ji and said: "A certain remonstrance, without selfishness, to release the reserve team to resist the enemy, is obviously more advantageous than a decisive battle after the rebels break through, and at this moment Cheng Yaojin has already Leaving Mingde Gate and rushing to Xianyang Bridge, not only the three armies of Xue, Liu, and Zheng can all enter the city to encircle and suppress the rebels, but Duke Wei outside Chunming Gate can enter the palace through Chunming Gate without intimidating the garrisons and clans in various places in Guanzhong. Encirclement and suppression, the rebel army will definitely be defeated, so why bother to hold down the reserve team and wait for the final battle in Wude Hall?"

He does have selfish intentions, but now he can't admit it even if he is beaten to death. He is not Cheng Yaojin who is in charge of Zuo Wuwei. The emperor couldn't spare him, and everyone in the world despised his character.

What's more, tactics and strategies are never absolute, and who knows the ending if things don't happen?He advised Fang Jun to send the reserve team out of the palace to participate in the war. It is not necessarily a mistake. Once the situation develops as he said, then his advice is the best countermeasure.

As for the failure to encircle and suppress the rebels in the end... who can guarantee that?
Li Ji drank his tea and ignored Zhang Liang's sophistry. This kind of seemingly reasonable words are actually useless, and he can't make mistakes even if he followed his advice and failed. You can't be guilty of citing it, right?
So this kind of dispute is useless. At this time, it is only necessary for the commander in charge of the military to weigh the trade-offs.

Fang Jun, on the other hand, seems to be reckless in fighting, but in fact it is all based on his understanding of the power of firearms. He knows that firearms can crush cavalry, so he went out of his way and went to the Western Regions. Otherwise, he would never underestimate the enemy and was more determined The combat strategy will not be easily influenced by others.

Although Li Chengqian does not understand military strategy, he has great trust in Fang Jun, and will never point fingers at Fang Jun's combat strategy just because of Zhang Liang's few words...

The reason why he refuted Zhang Liang was just because he didn't want Li Chengqian to think that he was "in Cao Ying and in Han" and refused to contribute.

Sure enough, Li Chengqian ended the dispute with his words: "The Duke of Yue has been in battle for a long time and has excellent strategy. Now that he is on the front line, he naturally has the right to decide the strategy. We are behind and don't know the situation on the battlefield. It's better not to interfere indiscriminately. "

For Fang Jun, his trust is immeasurable, not only because Fang Jun has stood by his side from the beginning to the end and has expressed flawless loyalty, but also because of his unlimited recognition of Fang Jun's ability over the years.

Since the time of Emperor Taizong, Fang Jun has never been disappointed no matter what has been handed over to him, and every time he has done it extremely beautifully.

Although Zhang Liang is also a minister of Zhenguan and a veteran in the army, how can he be compared with Fang Jun in terms of combat performance?
What's more, Li Ji's refutation, if Li Chengqian didn't know how to deal with it, he would really lose his head...

Zhang Liang had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, it is my humble minister who is being rude."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where is this talking? Now that the enemy is in front of us, the rebel army is outside the palace gate. You can advance and retreat with me here. I am inexplicably grateful! I want to defeat the rebel army and purge the superpowers." Outline, it is natural that I and you all need to work together and not be afraid of difficulties, and I am very relieved to have this remonstrance from the Duke of Meteor Kingdom."

Everyone echoed in unison: "Your Highness is wise, and will be able to put down the rebel army and help the country, and the ministers are willing to attach themselves to the tail of the horse, and are not afraid of life and death!"

*****
In the room on duty in Wudemen, Fang Jun drank tea and listened to the sound of wind and rain and the sound of fighting, calm as usual, without changing his face.

The scouts came in and out, summarizing the situation of various battlefields, and Gao Kan and Sun Renshi marked it on the map with pens, so that the current battle situation was presented on the map, which was clear at a glance.

Different from Fang Jun's calm and relaxed mind, the two were a little anxious. The battle has progressed to the point where the rebels have occupied most of the area outside Wudemen and Qianhuamen. The method of detonating the Thunderbolt dealt heavy damage to the rebel army, but Yu Chigong came to the front line in person, and the soldiers under his command rushed and fought desperately. Relying on the superiority of their troops, they still slowly compressed the front line of the right guard, and the front line of soldiers was already approaching. To the vicinity of the Qianhua Gate.

Once the outer area is completely occupied by the rebels, the most brutal siege battle will follow, which is also the last line of defense to guard the Wude Hall...

The door of the room was knocked open with a "bang", and Wang Fangyi walked in quickly with the help of several school captains. Wang Fangyi's armor was torn, blood was everywhere, and there was a scar on his face, half of his face was covered with blood, and he looked embarrassed. extreme.

Gao Kan and Sun Renshi rushed to meet him, and the latter shouted: "Please come with the army doctor!"

"Here!"

The two men helped Wang Fangyi to the chair in front of the desk and sat down. Sun Renshi pulled out a dagger and cut off the silk ribbons on Wang Fangyi's body. He took off the armor piece by piece. Picking it up and taking it off, I checked the wounds up and down, and then I breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, they are all flesh wounds and have never hurt the muscles, bones and internal organs. It's just that the blood loss is too much. You need to be healthy and take care of it." OK."

Wang Fangyi's face was as pale as paper, and the wound on his body was extremely painful, but he endured the pain and grinned with his teeth showing: "Don't worry, I won't die yet!"

Fang Jun had already got up and came to the front, seeing that although he was wounded in many places, he was still in good spirits, so he nodded: "It is very good to hide mines in a wooden box, I credit you for it."

This move not only inflicted severe damage on the rebels, but also served as a great deterrent. Now the rebels are obviously timid when they charge, and they dare not gather troops on a large scale. Otherwise, throwing out a few wooden boxes will kill everyone, which is too much of a threat to the rebels. .

Wang Fangyi laughed heartily, turning a blind eye to the wounds all over his body, his eyes flashing: "Can you be a general?"

Fang Jun nodded: "It's more than just a partial general? I have a lieutenant general! After the war, I went to the navy to take a second post for two years, led the troops to Nanyang and wiped out several barbarian countries, and then transferred to the Western Regions to take sole command of Xue Rengui. military."

In the army sequence of the Tang Dynasty, military rank is not important, what is important is whether you can command the army alone, as long as you are qualified to command an army alone, it is considered a banner of the military, and you can be called a big boss, far away from the Sixteen Guards. The general is one step away.

In his twenties, he is in charge of the army alone, and he is only a little worse than Fang Jun, and his future is limitless...

Under the envious eyes of Gao Kan and Sun Renshi, Wang Fangyi was very excited, and said loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation, Commander!"

Fang Jun patted his uninjured shoulder and comforted him: "Don't talk, drink more water, and wait for the doctor to come and treat him."

Not long after, two military attendants came to the duty room. After checking Wang Fangyi, it was confirmed that there was no life-threatening wound or disability. They cleaned the wound with alcohol, and then put the heavier one The wound was sutured, and the golden sore medicine was applied, and it was tidied up.

Only then did Fang Jun ask, "How is the situation outside?"

Wang Fangyi put on his clothes with a serious expression on his face: "The rebel army is like a tide, fierce and fearless, Yu Chigong personally arrived at the front line to command, it seems to launch an attack across the board, but in fact there are falsehoods and realities. We are short of troops and need to be closely guarded. If there is a breakthrough, in the final analysis, if we persist for an hour at most, the rebels will be able to break into the palace gate."

Fang Jun looked at the map covered with various markings, and asked Gao Kan: "What did Xue Wanche say?"

Gao Kan had just compiled the battle reports from all parties, and replied after hearing the words: "Xue Wanche said that Cheng Yaojin has led his troops to move westward. He has just passed the Yong'an Canal, bypassed the southwest corner of Chang'an City and headed towards the Wei River, but after all, it is not far from Chang'an. , its purpose is not yet certain, so Xue Wanche still needs to be stationed at Mingde Gate."

No one knows what Cheng Yaojin's plan is, if Xue Wanche leads an army into the city to support Liu Rengui to attack Chengtianmen, and Cheng Yaojin kills a carbine halfway and attacks Mingdemen again, it will be troublesome.

Xue Wanche is naive, but not stupid, especially in the field of marching and fighting, he is really talented, and he will not believe Cheng Yaojin's nonsense...

Fang Jun also scratched his head, Cheng Yaojin is a typical "exquisite egoist", unless he is absolutely loyal to His Majesty Li Er, he will never have so-called loyalty to others, and everything is based on interests.

And from the fact that this guy turned towards Qin Muchu and was half-hearted before, we can see the behavior style of "If you have milk, you are a mother", now who can be sure that he is firmly on Li Chengqian's side?
So Xue Wanche couldn't move for the time being.

In the same way, Li Jing outside the Chunming Gate can't move, otherwise, if Cheng Yaojin didn't rush to Xianyang Bridge to block the roads leading to Chang'an in Guanzhong, Longyou and other places, but led his troops to watch the fun, wouldn't he just let those troops go , Opportunity for the powerful to besiege Chang'an?
Before Cheng Yaojin arrived at Xianyang Bridge, Li Jing could not move either.

Therefore, no matter how tense and difficult the situation is right now, it is impossible to have foreign aid, and you can only rely on You Tunwei to withstand it.

He reiterated again: "Let people burn enough hot water to warm up the armored cavalry and Modao team in Wudemen, and prepare some pastries to satisfy their hunger, so that they can stay in the best condition at all times. Once they go to battle, they will crush the rebels." !"

It is impossible for such a large number of reserve teams to have sufficient rain shelter facilities. The soldiers and generals are all standing in the heavy rain, their body temperature disappears rapidly, and their physical strength drops rapidly. It is necessary to provide proper logistics supplies to ensure physical strength so that they can fight and fight. Can win.

"Here!"

Sun Renshi agreed to come down and went out to make arrangements.

Wang Fangyi drank two cups of hot water in a row, and finally regained his senses. Seeing this, he said worriedly: "We plan to keep the reserve team until the last moment, but His Majesty may not think so. In case His Majesty is worried about the battle situation and wants to delay the rebellion What should I do if I order the general to release the reserve team because of the progress of the army?"

This worry is not unreasonable, His Majesty does not know soldiers, if he is bewitched by others and issued an order, will the Right Guards listen?
