At this time, Pei Xingjian was weak in his youth but vigorous in appearance.
But when he looked at Fang Jun, his eyes were filled with admiration and admiration...
He led the Shenji Battalion on an expedition to the Western Regions, fought against the Turkic Wolf Cavalry without taking a step back, and won two battles. He defeated the most elite guards of the Turkic Khan and beheaded countless prisoners. He showed his power outside the region and showed his merit in the history of Qing Dynasty!
"The Charcoal Seller", "Jin Se", "The Green Jade Case - New Year's Eve", "Love Lotus"... classic poems that will be remembered for centuries were also written by Fang Jun.
Pei Xingjian has always been arrogant, claiming to be a talented person in both civil and military fields, but in front of Fang Jun, he only knows what a true talent in both civil and military fields is...
In comparison, Fang Jun is an eagle soaring in the sky, while he is just a fish in a small ditch...
The differences are all-encompassing.
Fang Jun was very fond of Pei Xingjian. He held Pei Xingjian's hand with a smile and said cordially: "Meeting means we are destined to meet each other. I fell in love with you at first sight. If there is nothing else, how about we find a place to have a drink together?"
Naturally, Pei Xingjian couldn't ask for more. Fang Jun is now simply the military strategist of Chang'an City, and he also has a prime minister father and a princess wife. Not everyone has the opportunity to be close to such a person!
Even though Pei Xingjian was born in the Pei family of Hedong, he still felt flattered!
"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you! I have admired my husband-in-law for a long time, how lucky I am to be able to get drunk with my husband-in-law?"
But then, Pei Xingjian suddenly remembered something and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Unfortunately, I have something else to do, so I really can't refuse..."
Fang Junqi asked: "A very important thing?"
Pei Xingjian said: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the master will come to visit Yu later and give some instructions about the imperial examination. I really can't refuse."
Respecting teachers and teaching has been around since ancient times. This is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
It's a pity that the old society, which was regarded as feudal and backward, valued respecting teachers higher than the sky and more important than life. However, in the new society that advertises progress, not many people take teachers seriously...
Is it because people are impetuous and history is going backwards?
Or is it that the teachings of teachers are rotten and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be?
Fang Jun was too lazy to delve into these philosophical topics. He was very interested in Pei Xingjian's teacher. He knew that Su Dingfang passed on the method of marching and formation to Pei Xingjian, and said: "I use troops, and there is no one in the world who can teach me.
Xian."
No one in the world can learn my art of war, even you, Pei Xingjian!
However, it is unknown whether the two have a formal master-disciple relationship.
Fang Jun then asked: "Who is my respected master?"
Pei Xingjian replied: "The family's surname is Su, and the name is given..."
really!
Are you lucky today to be able to see two of the most legendary generals of the Tang Dynasty one after another?
"It turns out it's General Su Dingfang. Fang has always admired General Su's great achievements in following the Duke of Wei to break the Turkic tent. But he is just a man of fate. I wonder if he can recommend him on his behalf to keep his promise?"
"This..." Pei Xingjian felt a little embarrassed.
His first thought was to agree quickly.
Fang Jun is now extremely popular. Once he gets his approval, just say a few words in front of the emperor, and maybe his constant dilemma will be solved!
But then I thought about it and hesitated...
Su Dingfang was his teacher. How could a student not know the teacher's temperament?
Smelly and hard... I'm talking about people like Su Dingfang.
The Duke of Wei, Li Jing, was highly regarded and was deeply feared by His Majesty. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Jing resigned from his official position, handed over military power, and lived in seclusion and away from the central government. As Li Jing's most powerful confidant, Su Dingfang naturally followed suit...
Being ostracized is inevitable.
But everyone could see clearly that the emperor was only afraid of Li Jing's military exploits, but would not really do anything to Li Jing. Su Dingfang only needed to switch to the camp and he would immediately be put into great use by his majesty.
But he was so determined that he identified Li Jing, which made Li Jing feel moved and ashamed...
Otherwise, why had Su Dingfang, who had already been a Zhonglang General on the Left Guards in the fourth year of Zhenguan, only been promoted to a Zhonglang General on the Right Guard over the years but never been promoted even half a step higher?
Pei Xingjian was not sure whether Su Dingfang was willing to meet Fang Jun or not.
If Su Dingfang and Fang Xuanling were involved in something wrong, wouldn't it be a wise act for me to introduce them rashly?
But now is indeed a good opportunity. Fang Jun leads the army well and is a rare general. Maybe the teacher will hit it off and get help from Fang Jun?
Pei Xingjian is in a dilemma...
Fang Jun didn't know what was going on. Seeing Pei Xingjian's hesitation, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's so difficult about keeping the promise?"
Looking at Fang Jun's eager gaze, Pei Xingjian gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said, "How could it be? My master is also a member of the army, and he admires the most powerful generals who dare to charge and kill. In the past, he also talked about Fang's prince-in-law's battle with the Turkic wolf cavalry in front of Wan Sheng.
His deeds can be expressed in words with great admiration.”
Fang Jun was overjoyed.
The two of them walked out of Taiji Palace hand in hand. They did not go through Chengtian Gate, but bypassed Zuozangku and walked to Changle Gate on the east side of Taiji Palace. When they were about to arrive outside Changle Gate, they saw a man and a horse standing on one side of the doorway.
Pei Xingjian took two quick steps, walked to the man, bowed deeply and said, "The student has met the teacher."
Fang Jun also walked forward quickly, cupped his fists and said, "But in front of General Su?"
The man stretched out his hand to help Pei Xingjian up and looked up at Fang Jun.
This man is tall and has broad shoulders, one size larger than Fang Jun.
He is around fifty years old, with a square face and a wide mouth, a pair of sharp-edged eyebrows with an awe-inspiring air, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and his eyes are shining. His face is full of weathered color, making him look older than he really is.
He has a lot of upper body, but his posture is as straight as a gun, and his whole body is full of the unique masculinity and toughness of the military!
This man had a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know who Fang Jun was. He clasped his fists and said in return, "This is Su Dingfang. What do you call me?"
Pei Xingjian introduced him on the side: "Teacher, this is Fang Jun, Fang Jun, who led the Shenji Battalion to defeat the Turkic Wolf Cavalry in the Western Regions that day."
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Why bother with such trivial matters, such as keeping the promise? Compared with General Su's victory over the Turks, they are nothing to mention. General Su, this is Fang Jun. He has long admired the general's power.
I will be lucky to see you today!"
This is not a polite word, it is truly "a blessing in three lifetimes"!
Looking at the world, who can go upstream and travel through fifteen hundred years of time to see the famous general he admires with his own eyes?
A well-deserved general!
He was a young hero who defended his hometown and was the first to enter the battlefield. He was a famous general who opened up new territories and grew stronger with age. He was a brave forward under the famous Tang marshal Li Jing and an outstanding commander in the Tang Gaozong court. After the country was stabilized, he became the military spirit of the Tang Dynasty who defended the country and pacified all directions; he was a reviled villain in the novel, and can be said to be one of the historical figures whose image was most severely distorted by later generations of popular culture, storytelling and drama.
But in Chinese history, he is a well-deserved national hero!
He spent decades galloping on the battlefield, attacking Jieli in the north, destroying Turks in the west, pacifying Baiji in the east, and suppressing Tubo in the south. He traveled thousands of miles across thousands of miles. He "destroyed three kingdoms before and after, and captured their masters alive." All the countries in the Western Region were frightened and surrendered.
This is Su Dingfang, the military spirit of the Tang Dynasty!
As a descendant of future generations, how could we, how dare we not say "lucky for three lifetimes" to Su Dingfang, who admired the domineering spirit of the heroes of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and wiped out corruption?
Li Jing, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui...
This is a truly famous general with both wisdom and courage!
Su Dingfang was a little uncomfortable with Fang Jun's compliment and felt a little embarrassed. He said dryly: "Fang's son-in-law is overly praised. He is just a pawn in Duke Wei's army. His achievements are just a result of following Duke Wei on the battlefield and risking his own life and death." Therefore, I don’t dare to praise him like this. But it is even more difficult for the prince-in-law to lead a new army and gallop across the Western Regions to defeat the Turkic wolf cavalry."
It can be seen that Su Dingfang is introverted, dull and not good at sociability.
And Fang Jun's communication skills are "tested by alcohol"...
Dang Ji said with a smile: "You and I are so complimentary, but it's just a joke to keep the promise... A certain person has been attracted to General Su for a long time, so it would be better to meet the sun today. Let's find a restaurant, drink and talk, okay?" "
Pei Xingjian's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Su Dingfang and said to himself, Teacher, please don't lose face...
Su Dingfang did hesitate for a moment.
It’s not that he has any opinion about Fang Jun. On the contrary, he is very pleasing to Fang Jun. He is quick-witted and unreasonable. What’s wrong with causing trouble? A man must be bloody and have character. If you mess with me, I won’t beat you and still respect you. ?
It's just that he is an introvert and has never been good at socializing. When he and Fang Jun first met, they drank and talked. He was really embarrassed and didn't know what to say... If he accidentally said the wrong thing, wouldn't it make everyone unhappy?
Fang Jun's scheming had already been experienced in the officialdom in his previous life. Seeing Su Dingfang's hesitation instead of outright refusal, he roughly guessed what he was thinking.
Then he smiled and said: "The general must know that in a few days, I will go south to the south of the Yangtze River and take over the post of chief marching officer of Canghaidao. To be honest, I am really a layman when it comes to marching and fighting. When I was in the Western Regions, I was more of a layman." With a lot of courage and bravery, there is not much planning. What you do in Jiangnan is related to His Majesty's great cause, and no trace can be omitted. Therefore, Fang has too many questions to ask the general for advice, and I hope the general will not hesitate to give you advice."
Having said this, when it came to marching and fighting, Su Dingfang showed a smile and said: "I don't dare to give you advice. Since the prince-in-law has his heart, Su will definitely do his best, tell everything he knows, and tell him everything he wants..."
Fang Jun was overjoyed and said: "In that case, then please come!"
"please!"
The two walked hand in hand, and Pei Xingjian happily followed behind to lead the horse.
Naturally, Pei Xingjian was very clear about his teacher's abilities. When it came to military strategy, looking at the Tang Dynasty, except for the Duke of Wei Li Jing and the British Duke Li Ji, there was probably no one who could compare with his teacher! But this teacher was so stubborn.
, it’s also hard to compare if you look at the world...
You have no talent, but you can only waste your time filled with sorrow. How desolate and sad is this?
If you can climb Fang Jun's line, maybe the teacher can also turn around... 8)
