Chapter 916: Epiphany
On the city wall, Fang Jun was dressed in armor and calm.
Even under the earth-shattering majesty of the elephant soldiers' charge, Fang Jun was as steady as Mount Tai, and his face did not change in the slightest, as if he was watching the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard......
Fan Zhenlong couldn't calm down.
The Tang army was indeed brave, the waves of bows and arrows were like a storm of life, and the invincible real wax army fell down one by one like rice fields in a rainstorm, and the screams were deafening even on the city walls.
The Tang army obviously didn't know the power of the real elephant soldiers, once this elephant, known as the "divine beast", launched a charge, with its strong strength, huge size and good speed, it was often invincible and simply irresistible!
There are elephant soldiers in all the southeastern countries, but only the elephant soldiers of Chenla and Siam are better, their method of training elephants is considered top secret, and the mahouts are used to and protected even more closely than the king!
No matter how strong the Tang army is, can it still resist the charge of the elephant soldiers with its flesh and blood?
The bow and crossbow were obviously not lethal to the thick-skinned elephant......
When the real elephant soldiers came to the city, Fan Zhenlong's heart was full of disappointment.
Tang Jun is too proud and too trusting!
If you retreat to the city at this moment, you will definitely be able to block the real wax army under the city with the powerful bow and crossbow of the Tang army, although you can't retreat from the enemy and will inevitably be besieged in the end, but if your father can borrow rescue troops from the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, you can also immediately lift the siege.
But now......
Fan Zhenlong couldn't help but close his eyes, and he had infinite resentment in his heart for this Hou Ye who was still pretending to be forced when he was dying. Do you want to equip you with a feather fan so that you can install Zhuge Liang in the city?
However, just when he just closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see the Tang army trampling the soldiers into flesh, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded in his ears, and then, this explosion sounded like a punishment from the Nine Heavens Thunder God, which was deafening, and even the city wall under his feet trembled, as if it would collapse and collapse in the next moment!
Fan Zhenlong opened his eyes in shock, and saw countless black balls being lit by Tang Jun on the torches and thrown in front of the formation. The black smoke is more beautiful than the whitest clouds, and the flashes of light are more dazzling than the strongest sun!
In just an instant, the elephant soldiers of Zhenla scattered and fled!
There is nothing more striking than the sudden sight of hope in the midst of despair! Fan Zhenlong opened his mouth wide and looked in disbelief at the collapsed Zhenla army under the city wall! The elephant soldiers completely dispersed, and the Tang army advanced slowly and methodically, with sword and shield soldiers covering in front, crossbowmen shooting in their hands, and white-feathered wolf tooth arrows like life-threatening spells, flying towards the Zhenla infantry who had no ability to resist!
At the moment when he was about to be slaughtered, he suddenly reversed and staged a good scene of anti-slaughter!
Fan Zhenlong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, he knew that today's city would become the burial place of the Zhenla army, and none of those elephant soldiers could escape, because he saw those elephant soldiers rushing to the pit that Fang Jun had dug in advance......
Fan Zhenlong's spirits were greatly lifted, and he waved his hand: "Kill the enemy with this son!" ”
Running down the city wall first, countless soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom followed him and rushed out of the city gate, chasing and killing the routed True Wax Army, and for a time the open space under the city wall became the Shura Hell, with blood, stumps, and corpses......
Murder!
Liu Renliang and Xue Rengui were on both sides of Fang Jun, Liu Renyuan and Xi Junmai were leading the sailors to kill the enemy under the city, and the battle was extremely easy, until this moment, not a single Tang army was killed.
Liu Renliang was slightly puzzled: "Although Lin Yiguo has a deep relationship with the Han people, it has always had a tradition of rebellion and does not obey the jurisdiction of the Han people. Whether it is Zhenla or Linyi, it is impossible to become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if the Hou Ye wants to make a lot of money, why should he buy a seaport? ”
His thoughts were almost the same as those of all Han people at this time, and he did not have too strong desire to annex the land of Linyi State, just like describing chicken ribs: "It is a pity to abandon the tasteless food"......
After all, Datang is too far away from here, and it is easy to fight down, but it is too difficult to occupy it for a long time.
Fang Jun smiled, holding the green bricks on the battlements of the city wall, looking at the chaotic battlefield of chasing and fleeing under the city, turning his head and seeing that the officials of Lin Yiguo were all standing far away, and when he heard his words, he said softly: "If the Han people can raise their heads and look at the sea of stars instead of continuing to cling to their incompleteness, if our children and grandchildren can live in freedom and prosperity for generations, then what I do today will be immortal." ”
Liu Renliang and Xue Rengui looked at each other in amazement.
…… Immortal?!
They really couldn't understand that Fang Jun would use such a word to describe what he was doing today!
What is immortality?
Liu Renliang and Xue Rengui are both people who have read poetry and books, so naturally this is the answer.
In the spring of the twenty-fourth year of Lu Zhaogong, when his uncle Sun Leopard arrived in the Jin Kingdom, Fan Xuanzi greeted him and asked him, saying: "The ancients had a saying, 'Death is immortal', what does this mean?" Uncle Sun Leopard did not answer. Fan Xuanzi said: "In the past, the ancestors of the Qiang, from Yu Shun and above, were the Tao Tang clan, in the Xia Dynasty it was the Yulong clan, in the Shang Dynasty it was the Feng Wei clan, in the Zhou Dynasty it was the Tang Du clan, and when the Jin State presided over the alliance of the Central Plains, it was the Fan clan, I'm afraid that this is the immortality it said!" Uncle Sun Leopard said, "According to what Leopard has heard, this is called Shilu, not immortal. In this way, the family name is preserved, the family name is accepted, the temple is guarded with karma, and the sacrifice is continued from generation to generation. There is not a single country that does not have this situation. This is only the big one among the officials, and it cannot be said to be immortal. There is a doctor named Zang Wenzhong in the country of Lu, after he dies, his words will not be wasted for generations, the so-called immortal, this is what he said! The leopard heard: 'The highest is to establish virtue, followed by meritorious deeds, and then to establish speech.' If you can do this, even if you die, you won't be abandoned for a long time, so you can be called immortal. ”
What is immortality?
There is virtue on the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by words, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is immortal!
What Fang Jun means means is that what he is doing now, can his merits be called endless?
Liu Renliang and Xue Rengui couldn't understand it.
It's just that if you want a permanent territory in Linyi Country, you dare to say that your deeds are immortal?
Territory of this thing, never the so-called "permanent"!
Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the Linyi Kingdom is also returned, and the Zhenla Kingdom is also returned, even the Turks in the Northern Desert of the Western Regions must avoid its edge and flee the world, and naturally no one dares to plunder its edge! This land, even if Lin Yiguo is dissatisfied in his heart, he does not dare to take it back rashly.
But as the saying goes, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it is impossible for Datang to remain so strong, and when it weakens one day, won't Lin Yiguo still take it back easily?
It's useless......
Liu Renliang is a sincere person, he never knows how to pretend to understand, let alone flattery, he arched his hand and said calmly: "Forgive the last general for being stupid, please ask the Hou Ye to solve your doubts." ”
Fang Jun scratched his head......
How can this be explained?
It's not that it can't be explained, but this is the greatest knowledge in the world, and if it weren't for those who have traveled through the afterlife, almost no one can see through the fog the most fundamental factor in the rise and fall of dynasties in this world.
This involves the people's attitude towards the land, the customs of the whole society, the orientation of national policies, and the imprisonment of ideas by Confucianism......
The papers are not enough to express clearly, so how can Fang Jun say it clearly?
Looking at Liu Renliang and Xue Rengui's confused expressions, a light suddenly flashed in Fang Jun's mind!
He suddenly realized that he was not on the right path!
How big of a project is it to reverse people's obsession with land and liberate the productive forces, change society's contempt for commerce, and even improve the values of Confucianism?
Even if Fang Jun is a generation of sages, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a goal!
It's not just a dozen years or decades to succeed!
It takes countless like-minded and enlightened people to contribute their wisdom and even blood lives, and the perseverance of generation to generation, so that this nation can finally get rid of the shackles of the land, glow with amazing creativity, and have the ambition to forge ahead and dominate the world!
