Fang Jundan was determined to drink tea: "I am here to take command, but if the general does not obey the orders of the general, you only need to listen to my general's orders."
Gao Kan and Wang Fangyi looked at each other, relatively speechless.
You are now within the Wude Gate, less than a hundred feet away from the Wude Hall, and the emperor's will can arrive in an instant. So do you have any misunderstandings about the sentence "The general will not obey the emperor's orders"?
Fang Jun is not worried about Li Chengqian's "mischief". Even if someone really instigates the release of the reserve team for a decisive battle in advance, Li Ji is still there. In terms of military strategy, even compared to Li Jing, he will not make more concessions. He will never watch Li Chengqian commit a crime. Hu Tu didn’t say a word, right?
"If the reserve team does not move, the morale of the whole army will be stable. When they know that the situation is not critical, they can still fight bravely to defend the palace. When the reserve team moves, it will indicate a critical moment of life and death. The rebels must be completely defeated with the force of thunder." Crush it, otherwise the morale will be sluggish, the morale of the army will be weakened, and it may be a complete defeat."
"Don't worry, Commander, we know."
Gao Kan responded quickly.
Youtunwei has been on the battlefield for a long time and has made great achievements. It can be said that it is invincible and invincible in all battles. It has already cultivated the soldiers' full confidence in the general. However, if there is an order, no one dares to disobey. As long as the reserve team is always there to lead and not attack, the entire army will Everyone at the top knew that the commander was confident. The decisive battle was far away, and the situation was not in a bad state. The morale of the army was stable and morale was high.
When the reserve force is mobilized, the soldiers in the army will understand that the moment of decisive battle has come, and they will burst out with all their strength to kill the enemy bravely. However, once they are unable to defeat the rebels in one go, they will naturally weaken again and again, until the army's morale is weakened. Morale collapsed and they could no longer fight.

After dressing up in disguise and being protected by the captain of Kaiyuanmen who had already bribed him, Yu Wenshiji received the news that Cheng Yaojin had left Mingdemen for Xianyang Bridge. He immediately looked at the heavy rain and sighed, feeling quite discouraged. Leng, wanted to give up the task of uniting the garrisons in Guanlong and Guanlong for the king of Jin, and just lay down.
Although he is not familiar with military affairs, his strategy is not bad at all. Naturally, he can see the huge impact of Cheng Yaojin's move. As long as Cheng Yaojin arrives at Xianyang Bridge and insists on holding on, no matter how he talks with Lotus, it will be impossible Convince the troops to rush to Chang'an to support the King of Jin.
Cheng Yaojin was in charge of the pass. If he wanted to cross the Xianyang Bridge, he would have to pay a huge price. The most important thing would be a lot of delay, and this much time would be enough for Li Jing to lead the Sixth Army of the East Palace into Chang'an to quell the rebels.
When the mutiny failed and the King of Jin put his hands down, what was the point of sending more troops to Chang'an?
Not only does it not help the matter, but it makes His Majesty angry and creates trouble for the future. Even a fool would not do it...
However, when the situation reached this point, he had no choice but to retreat if he wanted to.
Since the King of Jin raised his army, the Guanlong clan has put all its resources into a desperate move. Once the King of Jin is defeated, the Guanlong clan will suffer more than just suppression. It is as simple as withdrawing from the court. Countless people will swarm against the Guanlong clan. During the liquidation, vicious dogs pounced on them and tore the Guanlong family into pieces, then divided up the industry accumulated over hundreds of years and completely exterminated all the Guanlong descendants.
There may be a glimmer of hope for Yuchi Gong and his ilk, but for the Guanlong clan, victory means life, defeat means death, and there is absolutely no room for change.
Fortunately, it is not the end of the road. Perhaps Cheng Yaojin is in a state of temptation this time as before? As long as Cheng Yaojin is not determined to surrender to His Majesty and swear to defend Xianyang Bridge at all costs, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Wenshiji braced himself, said goodbye to the guarding captain, boarded the carriage surrounded by more than a dozen servants, and headed straight for Xi County.
Chang'an is two hundred miles away from Yi County. Fortunately, the official road is flat and the road is smooth. Although it rained heavily, it did not delay the journey too much. The carriages and horses were rolling, and the group of people galloped all the way. They left Chang'an before dawn and fell down.
When we arrived in Yi County, we were already close friends.
The carriage did not enter the city, but bypassed the city and drove directly to the military camp where the sloping water flows into the Wei River in the west of the city.
Xi County is not far from Chencang. Because the existence of Chencang Road connects Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Shuzhong, it is an important transportation route. Therefore, troops have been stationed in Xi County since the Sui and Tang Dynasties to prepare for emergencies and guard the gateway to Guanzhong.
The leader of this army of more than 20,000 people is Li Huaiqin, King Hui of Nanyang...
…
The founding emperor created the world with one surname, benefited his descendants, and extended his blessings to hundreds of generations. Therefore, after his death, the temple name was mostly "Taizu", which means "the ancestor of one surname" and was admired by generations. However, after Li Yuan's death, the temple name was "Taizu".
Gaozu", he posthumously gave his father Li Bing the temple name "Shizu", while his grandfather Li Hu's temple name was "Taizu"...
Because when Li Yuan died, His Majesty Li Er convened the ministers and the clan discussed the name of the temple. Everyone believed that the Li family originated from the time of Li Hu. Li Hu, one of the "Eight Pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty", founded the Li family.
Only then did the Li family become as prosperous as it is today. Even the country's name "Tang" was the "Tang Guogong" after the death of Li Hu and the "Emperor Wu" Yu Wenyong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Li family flourished here.
In fact, as early as the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Li Hao, the seventh generation ancestor of Li Yuan, established "Xiliang" and called himself "King of Xiliang". A few years later, he proclaimed himself emperor in Xiliang, making him the first Li family in history.
Emperor, but because it was too old and the Li family collapsed after the collapse of "Xiliang" and almost lost its foundation, it did not affect future generations.
The real rise of Li Tang's lineage was in Li Hu's generation...
Li Bing, the son of Li Hu, first served in the Western Wei Dynasty and was granted the title of founding uncle of Ruyang County. He became a regular servant of Tongzhi Sanqi and a general of chariots and cavalry. He married the daughter of the great Sima Duguxin.
After the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because Yu Wenyong named his father "Tang Guogong", Li Bing also inherited the title, was awarded the title of Yu Zhengzhong, and served as the general of Zhuguo, Shaobao, and governor of eight states.
The general manager of Anzhou was in charge of all military affairs, and his power was overwhelming for a while.
Li Bing had four legitimate sons, all of whom were born to the Dugu family. However, the eldest son Li Cheng died young and never gave birth to an heir. Although the second son Li Zhan and the third son Li Hong were adults and had heirs, they also died after their father Li Bing.
In the past, by the time of Li Bing's death, only the fourth son, Li Yuan, remained from the four legitimate sons. Therefore, although Li Yuan was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son, he inherited the title and inherited the family business.
The second son Li Zhan’s son, Li Boyi, the King of Longxi, Li Fengci, the King of Bohai, and the third son, Li Hong’s son, Li Huaiqin, the King of Nanyang...
Li Boyi, Li Fengci, and Li Huaiqin are not the heirs of Li Yuan, but they have a special status within the clan, because if their father had not died early, the title of "Tang Guogong" would most likely have been inherited by one of them, even if it may not be the same as Li Yuan's.
Just like in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, he created a new country and unified the world. In the future, he would be able to create a great cause and pass it on to his descendants.
…
Xieshui originates from the Qinling Mountains in the south. It flows northward in a mighty force and flows into the Wei River on the north side of Yixian County. It rained heavily last night and the river swelled. Countless tree branches, leaves and small animal corpses were floating and sinking in the turbid river water.
The narrower parts even overflowed the river embankment and gushed out into the ocean.
Li Huaiqin's Chinese military tent was set up on a high ground not far from the river bank. It was ventilated on all sides and protected from the river water. The tent was dozens of steps wide with fluttering flags and gorgeous decorations, making it as grand and majestic as a walking palace...
When Master Yuwen entered the big tent led by the school captain, he smelled a strong aroma, and the burning charcoal basin in the tent was filled with hot air, which further fumigated the aroma until it was refreshing, making his mind dizzy.
Looking up, I saw a middle-aged man with his bare chest showing a tuft of chest hair. He had a fairly broad body and fair skin covered with fat. He had a square face that was rosy and smelled of alcohol. He had his arms outstretched, each holding a pretty girl.
The boys, one of them put a grape into the middle-aged man's mouth with his orchid fingers raised.
The military discipline of the Tang Dynasty was very strict, and no women were allowed to accompany the army in the camp, otherwise it would be a serious crime. However, it would not matter if there were two "Rabbit Masters" with charming figures and slim chests.
It is said that Princess Danyang's consort, Wu'an County Duke Xue Wanche, is fond of this way...
Yu Wenshi came forward and bowed his head to the ground: "I have seen the prince, and the prince's demeanor is even better than before. I am very happy and congratulated."
Li Huaiqin was still sitting with his majestic posture, his drunken eyes seemed to be open and closed, and his eyes were looming. He left Yu Wenshi there for a long time. The captain who was standing beside him hesitated whether to step forward to remind him, and then spit out a mouthful of wine.
Angry, he slowly said: "You old guy came to the door for no reason, and you must be up to no good. If I go by the usual rules, I will beat you out. However, I am in a good mood today. I will not be acquainted with you. Without courtesy, please sit down."
"Thank you so much, Prince."
Yu Wenshiji breathed a sigh of relief. This prince had a surly temperament and was irritable. Even heroes like His Majesty Li Er had a headache. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army to guard Xi County. In fact, he was imprisoned in
This is to avoid any trouble.
If we don't give him the face of the Duke of Ying and the leader of Guanlong, there really will be nothing to do...
But this man not only holds 20,000 elite soldiers, but also has an extraordinary status. If he can be won over, the entire Guanzhong will be shaken, and the situation will be very different from before.
Of course, this person has an unruly personality, and his thoughts are often different from ordinary people's, and he is really difficult to control, so he didn't try to persuade him before. Now he has no choice but to face the difficulties.
Yuwen Shiji stepped on the bright red Persian carpet on the ground, walked to the table beside him and knelt down. Li Huaiqin patted a "Rabbit" in his arms and nuzzled, and the "Rabbit" stood up and picked up the gold on the table.
He picked up the wine pot and walked up to Yuwen Shiji with "light steps" and "tingting birds". A smell of incense hit his nose. Yuwenshi sniffed and tried not to sneeze.
"Master Rabbit" held the pot and filled a large wine bottle, and said in a "sweet voice": "Your Majesty has given me wine, Duke Ying, please drink it."
Yu Wenshiji looked at the large wine bottle with half a catty of wine on the table next to him. He felt bitter in his heart, but a spring breeze blew on his face: "Thank you, the prince, for the wine!"
He picked up the wine bottle, took a deep breath, and drank it all.
