Speaking of which, the battle between Li Jingren and Liang Jianfang started in a mess and ended in a mess.

Even in the follow-up, the two sides did not say too much, and it looked like they were playing.

However, at this time, in the mansion of Zhang Shigui, the Duke of Yuguo, a group of veterans who stayed in Beijing gathered together.

"It's really a lively day." Wuyang Gong Li Daliang sat on the chair and said with a big grin, "The old man has also lived in this Chang'an land for so many years, and for the first time I found that there are so many business vendors at the door of my house. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone laughed too.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Luguo Gong Xue Wanjun also smiled.

His Xue family was still very brilliant in the early years of Zhenguan.

One family and three princes, and they are all brilliant warriors, the only regret may be that they didn't end well.

"Alright." Zhang Shigui waved his hand and said, "Don't make fun of this, Li Jingren and Liang Jianfang fought today, can you see the reality of the Changming Army?"

If the Changming army is dispatched, how many guards of my Chang'an may take them at the lowest cost?

Don't forget, Your Majesty didn't keep us here just to watch the show. ”

For this Changming army stranded in Chang'an, how could Li Er not have made arrangements.

It stands to reason that he should have sent this Changming army away at the beginning of his southward journey, so as to ensure the safety of the rear.

But considering the safety of Empress Changsun and the Li Tai brothers, after thinking about it, he didn't do it.

What's more, if this Changming army can be trapped in Chang'an, it will be easier for Li Ke to be on the side of the Great Zhao Wangting.

At the same time, this Changming army can also help it balance Li Ke one or two.

In the final analysis, he was also worried that Li Ke would steal his home.

No matter how Chang'an changes, even if Li Ke has the support of the scholar family and wants to stand on his own feet after seizing military power, it is impossible for the Changming army to agree.

And this Zhang Shigui, that is also a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, as early as the first year of Wude, he followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions, and later in the Xuanwumen Change, he made great achievements.

In other words, he is Li Er's descendant.

"Just by the ability they showed today, you can see that they are well-trained and well-equipped." When Li Daliang heard this, he said, "But we all know that the most powerful thing about the Changming Army is their ordnance, but in today's battle, their ordnance is actually not shown, which is not easy to judge." ”

"That's what we should be most wary of." When Xue Wanjun heard this, he said, "In the past, all we heard was how the Changming Army used the power of ordnance, but when we look at it today, is this really the case?

You know, Liang Jianfang is also the elite of my Tang army, right?

Shouldn't the Changming Army, after giving up its own advantages, still be able to fight on par with it?

I don't know if you have found it, the most terrifying thing about the Changming Army is the order ban.

At that time, the old man watched this battle from afar, although even if he held a telescope to see it really, there was a scene at that time, and the old man remembered it vividly. ”

"What scene?" Li Daliang asked.

Although they are all paying attention to this encounter, after all, everyone sees the point differently.

"At that time, there was a soldier in the Changming Army, who was preparing to rescue him in his robe, and from what the old man saw, his comrade was indeed in danger, and he really needed to be rescued.

And at this moment, he was directed by his own team to go in another direction, and the interesting thing is here, the old man obviously saw the struggle in his eyes through the binoculars, but he still did not hesitate and turned his head and went straight to another battlefield.

You may think, isn't this how it should be?

But just imagine, on the battlefield, how difficult it is to achieve real orders and prohibitions?

Not to mention those little soldiers, even those of us who have not yet been generals still know that they will not be subject to the orders of the kings outside. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Wanjun let out a long sigh, and when he saw that Liang Jianfang, who had just withdrawn his troops back to the camp, was also here, he nodded to him, and continued, "An army, as long as it can fulfill the most basic orders and prohibitions, then this army has merit after all. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Shigui also nodded.

As the general who led the troops, he knew too well what it meant to be ordered and banned.

Such an army may have the shortcomings of being rigid and inflexible, but aside from these shortcomings, it is a strong army with strict discipline and no fear of death.

When encountering such an army, if you can't directly annihilate them in a battle, it is very likely to turn into a vicious war that will never stop fighting!

"General Liang is an eyewitness today, I wonder what General Liang thinks of this Changming Army?" Zhang Shigui looked at Liang Jianfang and said.

When Liang Jianfang heard this, he got up and arched his hand towards everyone, and said apologetically: "It's Liang who has embarrassed the Tang Army." ”

He didn't expect that he was actually taught a lesson by the Changming Army, which had just formed the army, from the standpoint of these people, it would be a shame to not win the Changming Army in the first battle, he is such a psychology at this time.

General Liang laughed. Zhang Shigui immediately smiled and said, "Although this Changming army has not been in the army for a long time, it has already gained prestige, and this army has been trained for several years before it became an army. ”

"That's right." Li Daliang also nodded and said, "Before them, the old man practiced for a few years before he saw that army was formed, which shows that he has invested a lot in it. ”

"But that's not an excuse for Liang's defeat." Liang Jianfang is quite upright, a defeat is a defeat, Mo said that they practiced for a few years before they became an army, even if they became an army for more than ten years, he failed to win the Changming Army in a war, that is a loss.

"But if you want the last general to talk about this Changming Army, there are only four words that the last general can think of, strict military discipline!"

For Chang Mingjun's evaluation, he is quite pertinent.

He had no experience in fighting with the Changming Army before, and it was not easy to evaluate, but after today's battle, he has a deep understanding of how strict the military discipline of the Changming Army has become.

As Lu Guogong said, strict military discipline should be the standard of an army, but the last general has led the army for so many years, and he has only seen such strict military discipline in the Changming army.

To put it mildly, in this regard, I Datang still have a long way to go.

On the way here, the last general was even wondering, in the years before the Changming Army became an army, was it military discipline that was practiced? ”

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

are all veterans who have led the army for many years, and this point is still very thorough.

However, Zhang Shigui added: "In addition to the strict military discipline, what the Changming Army envies the most is the age of their army.

Even if their main general, Xue Rengui, is only twenty-five out, such an army may indeed lack experience, but what kind of experience is not groped out on top of the big war?

In other words, their future achievements are immeasurable.

Moreover, in today's battle, Xue Rengui didn't even make a move, but a few commanders were leading the army to fight, and I heard Wei Guogong say in the early years that this Xue Rengui was handsome. ”

"I couldn't fight with Xue Rengui, and the last general was very sorry...... "Speaking of this, Liang Jianfang was even more ashamed, what you Zhang Shigui meant by this, didn't you say that Lao Tzu lost to a few thousand commanders?"

Anyway, we are also the general of the Right Wuhou, and we didn't save any face for Lao Tzu?

Of course, Zhang Shigui didn't mean this, he was just talking about things, and he paid special attention to this Xue Rengui, maybe there was a noble word in his name, he always felt that this guy was very kind, which was very.

It's just that he didn't know that if it weren't for Li Chengqian's cross-fork, after Xue Rengui joined the army, he would really be under his account.

It was in his hands that a generation of legendary generals began to shine.

However, it is difficult for anyone to say whether this is a good thing or not, after all, in the words of later generations, he is the villain who persecuted Xue Rengui.

Therefore, whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is really no conclusive conclusion.

"This Xue Rengui is indeed a little capable." Xue Wanjun said, "The old man has also learned about his experience since joining the army, although he has the support of His Royal Highness, but there is a good saying, striking iron must be hard in the end."

In the battle with Su Dingfang in Chang'an, he also proved himself.

The five-stone bow is probably only comparable to the Duke of Yu Guo. ”

When Zhang Shigui heard this, he shook his head and said: "The old man is not as good as him, when he was young, he could barely pull the five-stone bow, but that was only reluctantly, he couldn't be as light as he was, not to mention, now that he is old, it is even worse." ”

He's just being humble.

Who doesn't know that he Zhang Shigui is good at riding and shooting, and it is not a problem to bend a bow of 150 catties.

"The problem of the Changming Army can be put aside first." Seeing that they were endless, Li Daliang immediately said, "It's okay to try a shade today, but now the question is, how to deal with the King of Shu?"

During this time, the King of Shu has been sending people to ask for advice, the old man is a big old man, can he still make suggestions? ”

Speaking of this, Li Daliang was speechless.

He knew what Li Ke meant, but the problem was that people did this, no matter whether it was reasonable, reasonable, or even legal, there was nothing to blame.

is young, in an important position, ask them for the opinions of these founding veterans, and it is reasonable to make trouble with Li Er.

Moreover, now that the Changming Army has moved, it is even more reasonable and legal for him to ask for advice.

"The King of Shu is anxious." Zhang Shigui said, "But this is not a bad thing for us, when no one cares, it is time to be anxious instead of others." ”

"But the question is, how do we deal with it?" Xue Wanjun also said, "The old man is also afraid that the King of Shu will make some requests that he can't refuse on the grounds of the Changming Army?"

At that time, we were the ones who sat on the wax. ”

"Lu Guogong thinks too much." Zhang Shigui said with a smile, "The King of Shu will not, he will test us at most, that's all, as for the involvement of the guards in Chang'an, it is not a question of whether the King of Shu dares or not, but the Changming Army has many juniors in the military, can he really trust us?"

Don't say anything else, don't you and I have no descendants in Daming, no matter what attitude we have, but the King of Shu doesn't think about it much? ”

Speaking of this, Liang Jianfang immediately nodded: "That's right, when I was fighting with the Changming Army today, the last general saw the one from the Duke of Qiu, good guy, I haven't seen him for many years, and he has indeed grown a lot taller, but that guy, now he really doesn't talk about it at all, and when he sees the last general, there is no room at all."

There are also Li Jingren, Fang Yiai, Cheng Chuliang, Li Dexian, these little kings and eight lambs, when they were in Chang'an before, the last general wiped their buttocks a lot, but today it is better, one is more ruthless than the other. ”

This is actually the reason why he lost today's war, there is no way, there are a large number of juniors of the Tang Dynasty in the Changming army, and sometimes, he can't let go.

When everyone heard this, they also shook their heads helplessly, Changming Army, it is too deeply involved with Datang......

On the other side, Li Ke, Yang Shidao and others were also discussing.

"Liang Jianfang's move today, I'm afraid he was instructed by His Majesty." Yang De thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, there is no need for the military to clash with the Changming Army today." ”

"What does Mr. Huaizhi mean that my father is secretly helping each other?" Li Ke asked.

On the side, Yang Shidao shook his head and said: "It may not be secretly helping, Your Majesty may also want to make this trip more turbid, so far, no one knows what Your Majesty has in mind."

But Huaizhi said that Liang Jianfang was instructed by His Majesty, and the old man recognized it.

Otherwise, as far as Liang Jianfang is concerned, he should not have the courage to face Da Ming directly. ”

"But what's in it for my father?" Li Ke was a little puzzled.

"Why isn't it good?" Yang Shidao said, "Isn't what Your Highness has done today good for Your Majesty?" ”

"Does the servant mean that my father is testing these veterans of the military?" When Li Ke heard this, he was also shocked, "I'm worried that we have co-opted these military veterans and completely controlled Chang'an?" ”

He's a little incredible, which means you put me in charge of the country, but you still don't trust me?

Yang Shidao nodded and said, "Your Majesty is worried about this, it is human nature.

Moreover, His Majesty estimated that he also intended to test the meaning of Chang Mingjun.

In the final analysis, the Changming army stranded in Chang'an is a double-edged sword in itself, although they are containing us, but if one is not well controlled, the change of seizing the city is not impossible.

On the contrary, we who do not have military power, and we have the Changming Army to contain us, in fact, we are still very passive in Chang'an. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shidao was also quite helpless.

If you want to compete in the world, it is really difficult to do it without military power.

Especially Li Ke, his father and brother are all in the presence of hundreds of thousands of troops, and his current situation is as if he is barehanded.

"At this time, we should actually let the scholars sink deeper." At this moment, Yang De said.

"Yes, although the scholars support His Highness now, the support is far from enough." Yang Shidao also nodded, "It's time for the scholars to show their sincerity, if the scholars are not sincere enough, Your Highness should also make other plans." ”
