Seeing Zhi lost his mind and stepped aside, Yang Fan stepped forward and loudly said: "Admiral Yang Fan, the superintendent of transportation, has come to see you on the order of the commander-in-chief!"
All the generals in the tent looked sideways!
Yang Fan can be said to have a "famous reputation". Although most of the generals in the account do not know him, he has been famous for a long time.
After all, Yang Fan, who was a civil servant, had snatched the position of Admiral of Transportation. The generals were inevitably a little indignant, and all eyes were focused on Yang Fan.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Fan was seen calm and calm.
Seeing that Yang Fan was tall, strong, and solid, even if the generals were upset, they could not help but secretly lower their heads.
Although this guy is a bit young, he has the heroic spirit of a military commander.
I saw Hou Junji's face darken, and he shouted: "I have been promoted to the generals, why are you so late? Don't you know that the laws in the army are strict? As the superintendent of transportation, I openly delayed the time to enter the camp and set military discipline.
Why are you despising me?"
At this time, Yang Fan's sight had adapted to the dimness in the commander's tent, and he saw Hou Junji sitting upright in the commander's seat, with his tall figure and straight back, exuding a mighty and serious aura, his tone was very stern, and he stared with a frosty face.
he.
Another show of force?
Yang Fan curled his lips secretly, but did not dare to be disrespectful.
The most powerful commander in the army, if he dared to quibble or resist, even if Hou Junji took him out and gave him a beating with a military stick, Yang Fan would not be able to explain him.
Although your life will not be lost, your face will definitely be lost.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan quickly explained: "The general is new to the military and is not familiar with military regulations. Furthermore, the general is also in charge of the army's food and fodder, and supervises the transportation of baggage. It is inevitable that he will be worried, for fear of betraying His Majesty's trust, so he will
Only when things are settled properly can I dare to come to see the commander-in-chief and ask the commander-in-chief for his enlightenment!"
When people are under the eaves, they have to lower their heads, say a few soft words and praise this guy without losing a piece of meat.
It was obvious that Hou Junji had no intention of letting Yang Fan go. He still said with a cold face: "Since I know that I am not good at military affairs, why do I still ask His Majesty for such an important task as the Admiral of Transport?"
"This battle is related to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and logistical support is a top priority. How can it be a place for you to ask for credit and reward? If you dare to leave your body in a prime position, I will not spare you!"
"You, a young boy like you who only know how to recite poems and compose poems, shouldn't have appeared on the battlefield. Talking nonsense is your specialty. If not, I would ask your Majesty to change the general, so that you won't have to worry about your life...
…”
Seeing that Hou Junji was going too far, Yang Fan was furious. He was just speaking modestly. This guy actually went to work and was on the line. It was really disgusting.
This is simply an unabashed humiliation. If he gives in, if these words spread in the future, Yang Fan will definitely become a laughing stock in the future!
Damn it, if the tiger doesn’t show off its power, do you really think we are sick cats?
Although you are the head coach of the first army, you really take yourself seriously. You think we are easy to bully. Why don't you shout in front of Li Er if you have the ability?
Yang Fan was so angry that he felt a stiffness in his neck and was about to have an attack.
At this time, a person in the tent interjected: "It is a taboo in the army to change generals on the spot. Your Majesty has appointed the admiral for transportation, so how can you replace him at will? If you ask your Majesty, it will take several days to go back and forth, depending on the situation.
Man, please think twice, Commander; besides, the Admiral is so careful in his work at such a young age and knows the importance of logistical support, so he should be praised."
This was said very artistically. It not only solved Yang Fan's ugliness, but also vaguely reminded Hou Junji that the post of Admiral was appointed by His Majesty.
If you want to remove Yang Fan from his post now, wouldn't it be a slap in His Majesty Li Er's face?
Yang Fan looked for a voice and saw that the speaker had a beard and a cold look on his face, but it was Liu Lan, the leader on the right.
This general was a good friend of Li Ji, and he was not the same as Hou Junji. It was obviously because of Li Ji's relationship that he spoke out to save himself.
I really didn’t expect that a seemingly carefree general could have such a quick mind. No wonder he could become a famous general.
Valley
Hou Junji glanced at Liu Lan coldly, his face clouded.
Of course Hou Junji knew about Yang Fan's whereabouts, and originally wanted to deliberately beat drums to gather generals when Yang Fan was inspecting the logistics and supplies, as an excuse to suppress him.
Unexpectedly, it was destroyed by Liu Lan.
But Hou Junji also knew that it was not appropriate to dwell on the matter at this time, so he said: "In this case, I am not an unreasonable person. This matter has been revealed. If there is a next time, don't blame the military law for being ruthless. You can take care of yourself."
, never do anything that violates military discipline again."
Then he changed the topic and continued, "In this expedition to Tibet, I will sit in the center of the army and cooperate with the attack of General Niu Dajin of the forward camp. General Zhi Shili will lead the army on the left and lead an army of 10,000 to attack the flank of the main force of Tibet. General Liu Lan will lead the army on the right.
He led an army of 5,000 people to detour to the northwest to cut off the Tibetan retreat route. General Yang Fan, the loyal general, served as the transportation admiral and led the left battalion to ensure the safety of food, grass and baggage. Do the generals have any objections?"
"General, I will obey the order." Everyone clasped their fists and loudly accepted the order.
However, Yang Fan was secretly stunned, this Hou Junji was too narrow-minded.
With such an arrangement, any fool could tell that he was dissatisfied with Liu Lan's words to help him just now.
Once the main force of Tibet was defeated and its retreat was blocked, it would inevitably struggle to the death. How could Liu Lan resist with only 5,000 soldiers?
Isn't this a food delivery?
It seems that there is also intrigue among the army. I don’t think it will be smooth sailing for me in the future. This coach has a dark heart!
However, no one dared to refute that Hou Junji was the commander-in-chief and had a mountain of military orders, so he was the boss in the commander-in-chief.
Seeing that no one dared to object, Hou Junji felt much better. He looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "This time, Tubo sent troops to the Tang Dynasty on the pretext that the marriage was rejected. It actually ignored His Majesty's majesty and insulted his ministers to death.
As ministers, we are responsible for serving the entire army to repay the emperor's favor. In this expedition, we must not only win, but also win a great victory. We must fight quickly to achieve the effect of shocking all the barbarians. We must let those foreigners with evil intentions see our greatness.
The Tang Dynasty's military was so majestic that everything was carried out according to the battle plan. If anyone dares to disobey orders, don't blame me for dealing with them according to military law."
"Promise!" All the generals in the tent agreed in unison.
But Yang Fan is not very optimistic.
According to original historical records, the Battle of Songzhou only lasted for more than a month before Tibet sent envoys to sue for peace.
The most fundamental reason was that Songtsen Gampo's son died, and Songtsen Gampo hurriedly withdrew his troops for fear of causing civil strife in Tubo.
Now the historical process has quietly changed. It is now the eleventh year of Zhenguan, and Songtsen Gampo's son is still fine.
In the era of cold weapons, if Hou Junji wanted to achieve a clean victory, how could it be so easy to use 100,000 troops against 200,000?
Although Yang Fan firmly believed that the Tang army would win in the end, he also believed that it should not be taken lightly.
After all, the other party is the main force of Tibet, how can it be done like chopping melons and vegetables?
If Hou Junji was eager for quick success, the Tang army might suffer a setback, but Yang Fan did not dare to say anything if he was not in his position to do anything.
Moreover, if he warned him verbally, it might be counterproductive, and he would be displeased by Hou Junji.
Smiling proudly, Hou Junji stood up in high spirits and solemnly gave the order: "The generals will immediately set off to return to the camp and arrange the military affairs properly. From now on, a ban will be implemented. Soldiers are not allowed to move around at will. Tomorrow, we will prepare food at the third watch and the fourth watch.
The vanguard troops are on their way. If there is any delay, military law will be enacted."
promise!
After leaving the commander's camp with deep thoughts, Yang Fan came to the place where Zuoying was stationed.
As soon as he sat down, the guards came to report that someone was visiting. Yang Fan was a little surprised. Hou Junji had already issued a ban, so why were there still people visiting?
