Again, the most important honor in the army, Youtunwei is known as "the strongest army in the world", who in the whole army is not very excited?
If such a title is taken away by others, naturally all kinds of envy and jealousy will be felt, but if it is applied to oneself, how can one not be proud and proud?
It's just that Fang Jun called on everyone to be low-key and tolerant before, so he always refused to acknowledge it. Now that Fang Jun openly shouts such slogans, the morale of the entire army can be expected to be greatly boosted. Their morale has risen to a higher level than before, and training has become harder.
The battle becomes more and more fierce.
Everyone knows that the title of "No. 1 in the world" is not only an honor, but also a responsibility! Only by constantly strengthening oneself can one become a powerful army that is as powerful as the white robe in the history of Qing Dynasty and the Beifu, and will be famous throughout the ages!
In fact, even a small soldier in the army may have his name engraved in history...
…
A night of silence.
In the early morning of the next day, just after the third watch, the Huotou Army all walked out of the camp, braved the biting cold wind and falling heavy snow, and began to make fires and cook meals.
When Youtunwei goes on an expedition, the supplies are always sufficient. The army is not only equipped with rice, grains, meat and eggs, but also all kinds of medicinal materials are available with the army doctor, so as to minimize non-combat attrition as much as possible, and ensure the maximum logistics supply.
Everyone in the world knows that Youtun Guard can fight, and even more knows that Youtun Guard is rich...
At five o'clock, it was still dark, and the soldiers had already climbed up from their tents. In brigade units, they gathered in front of their Huotou Army's tents and sat on the ground. There was heavy snow in the sky, pots of broth, and steamed buns one by one.
Distributed to every soldier, alternately hot and cold, and devoured them hungrily.
After breakfast, the heavy troops dismantled the tents and transported them by horse-drawn carriages. The soldiers gathered in one place. Under the leadership of their respective brigade commanders, they held their swords tightly, put on their cloaks to protect them from the wind and snow, and set foot in the heavy snow.
On the journey, we quickly advanced toward the west.
At the same time, countless capable and well-trained scouts, either on horseback or on foot, were already one step ahead, reaching out dozens of miles away from the army, closely monitoring the movements in all directions, and immediately reporting back if there was any abnormality.
To the Chinese Army.
When the captain of the city guard at Goni City came to visit Fang Jun in the evening, he found that the Youtun Guards had long been empty, leaving only charcoal ashes buried in snow...
The captain stood in the heavy snow, feeling cold all over his body.
The army set out for the Western Region, but despite the harsh and cold weather, they refused to stay even one more day, and did not even notify the local garrison. They hurriedly embarked on the journey without knowing where they were going. It was obvious that they were prepared.
What exactly should you guard against in your own chassis?
Obvious.
Fang Jun was not only guarding against being stabbed in the back by one of his own, he also used such cautious behavior to tell some people: Don't play tricks, I have a bright mind and have been on guard for a long time!
No one in the world knows Fang Jun's nature. He deserves to be called "Bangchui". Once he is impulsive, he will not care at all. He even dares to beat the prince. How can he be afraid of a few powerful families doing hard work in the Western Regions?
A sidekick who works hard?
This guy was really pissed off, and no one could bear the backlash...
The captain stood in the snow for a while, shook off his raincoat, and then led his soldiers back to Wuni City. He immediately repaired his books and informed those who were also in the Western Regions about Fang Jun's alert and warning behavior.
Everyone, please be careful and don’t cause trouble...
*****
When the army marched outside Gaochang City, Fang Jun met with two old friends.
Thirty miles outside Gaochang City, the army camped on the sunny slope of a hill to avoid the howling north wind. It snowed heavily along the way for two days and one day.
We set up camp and rested for two days.
In the Chinese army tent, Fang Jun was dressed in regular clothes. His dark and slender face looked a bit dusty and weathered, but his eyebrows were like knives and his eyes were clear. He was still the same man who dared to shout at Hou Junji in Gaochang City to stop the army from slaughtering the city and looting.
That boy.
He is in great glory and has great authority.
Akagi Hague, a tall boy with white hair and a tall body, knelt down opposite Fang Jun, with a look of shame on his wrinkled face: "At first, Guo Xiaoke wanted to get involved in the wine shop, but the old man was forced by him to protect himself and failed to step forward.
I was really ashamed to go out to take care of my husband's family business. From then on, every time I thought about it, I felt guilty, and I didn't know how I would see my husband again in the future. I took the liberty of asking for an interview today, and I hope that my husband will ignore the old grudges and be magnanimous.
.”
The two had also been close to each other, and the winery they built almost monopolized the winemaking industry in the Western Regions. However, they were sabotaged by Guo Xiaoke, making this matter an unavoidable rift between the two. This time I asked to see Fang Jun.
, he was calm and frankly admitted that he had done something wrong at the time, hoping that Lord Fang Jun would not remember the villain's fault.
In his opinion, after all, the business of merchants was not out of date. Merchants have always been regarded as a lowly industry by the Han people, and their status is far lower than farming. It is good to do some business and make some money, but if the business fails, it may not be the same.
How distressed.
As the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, how could he take money too seriously?
Not only should we regard money as dirt, but we should also value justice over profit...
Fang Jun sat behind the desk, holding the teacup in his hand and taking a sip of hot tea. He looked away from Ju Wendou, who was responsible for the barbecue next to the charcoal stove, and focused on Chimu Haiya's face. He chuckled and said calmly: "Be wise and protect yourself.
It's normal for me, so I don't need to take what happened back then to heart. Besides, I suffered heavy losses when the wine shop closed down, and didn't I also lose a lot of money? Since I didn't do it intentionally, I naturally lost a lot of money.
Don’t care about it.”
These words made Akagi Hague feel bitter in his mouth. You have said this, so you are obviously still worried about it...
Ju Wendou, who was concentrating on the barbecue with lowered eyebrows, also twitched at the corners of his eyes, thinking that the Duke of Yue was indeed sincere and straightforward. He was so undisciplined back then. After a few years, his status became more and more noble, but his character was not at all bad.
Change.
I mourned for Akagi Hague for a moment in my heart, but I didn't say anything to help him out, and I just focused on grilling meat.
It is said that he is really good at grilling meat. A leg of lamb was roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Sichuan peppercorns, cumin and other spices were sprinkled on it for free, making it sizzling with oil and fragrant.
Akagi Hague groaned in his heart and could only say: "Although I have also lost some money, it is my own fault after all... Lang Jun is certainly generous and generous, and he does not care about old evil, but is he a narrow-minded person? Lang Jun's loss, Lao Chen
It still needs to be made up for.”
Saying this makes my heart bleed.
At that time, the scale of the winery was the largest in the Western Region, and its monthly profit was almost one-tenth of his entire net worth. If he wanted to compensate Yu Fangjun, it would have to be an astronomical sum.
But who always kept in his mind the thought of going to Chang'an to obtain the identity of a Tang Dynasty person, so that his descendants can thrive in the Tang Dynasty and live a happy life? Even if he comes to Chang'an in the future, he will inevitably be blackmailed by greedy petty officials.
, instead of giving out a lot of blood at this moment, just make Fang Jun happy and use his power to protect his family. Isn't that easy?
So thinking about it carefully, the money seems to be well spent... Akagi Hague felt distressed for a while, then came to his senses, and suddenly he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Fang Jun smiled but said nothing.
Ju Wendou glanced at Fang Jun with the end of his eyes, and when he saw Fang Jun's expression, he quickly said: "The meat is roasted!"
He reached out and picked up a silver knife on the table, and quickly cut off the mutton leg meat in thin slices, neatly placed it on the plate, and lightly sprinkled a layer of snow-white salt on it, respectfully.
Passing it to Fang Jun, he said with an apologetic smile: "Commander Su Wen is a famous glutton, and he is very particular about food. I have tried my craftsmanship, and if there are any shortcomings, I hope you can teach me. I will definitely learn from it and improve it."
improve."
Fang Jun then laughed and said, "Look, this is someone who can talk. How can he be like this old man, Akagi Hague, who thinks he is virtuous and respectable because of his status, but uses money to prevaricate me?"
My eyelids are so shallow, how can I fill them up with just a little money?
However, he did not touch the plate of meat. His eyes passed over the two people's faces one by one, and he took a sip of tea with a smile, and then said: "We are all old friends. Although we have experienced some things, our friendship is not what it used to be."
We are close, but I am not a person who does not miss old friendship. Since you two came to my military camp alone, there must be something very important. You might as well say it openly and directly. I will help you if I can.
You can handle it, but if it can't be done, you two will have to force others to do something difficult."
Akagi Haiya and Ju Wen were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other in confusion.
As soon as the two of them came in, they showed their attitude to the lowest level, which actually made Fang Jun mistakenly think that they were asking for help...
This is such a big deal, we are here to save your life, Commander!
