Chapter 117: Forty Thousand Righteous Army

Tang Suzong ...... Li Shimin's familiar and unfamiliar emperor name.

After thinking about it a little, I remembered that this seemed to be the one who founded the Martial Temple......

However, Li Shimin's face was indifferent, and he coughed lightly:

"I don't know how Wu Hou felt when he saw this."

This Fang Xuan's ability, Li Shimin naturally doesn't believe it.

For this Xuanzong's court, Li Shimin has a set of simple and crude evaluation criteria:

The closer the courtiers are to Xuanzong, the greater the probability of being intrigues with wine bags and rice bags.

The famous generals are from the border towns, and the loyal and good ministers are in Changshan, Pingyuan County, Hedong, and Luoyang, but there is no Chang'an.

Therefore, this Fang Xuan's ability really needs to be put a question mark.

"The incompetent person is nothing more than winning the smile of Wuhou."

Fang Xuanling felt that Zhuge Wuhou was mostly just helpless, but he was a little unconfident in this main master:

"This Fang Xuan is also surnamed Fang, and he won't ......"

Du Ruhui joked with himself and comforted:

"Brother Xuanling, why should you worry, as long as your children and grandchildren don't rebel, you will be rich and idle and let him be."

The truth is this truth, and Fang Xuanling can only let it go.

And even if this Fang Xuan is his junior, it is much better than any royal tradition and the Li family's drama, right?

Although this idea was a bit disrespectful, Fang Xuanling found that his mentality was also much calmer.

For Du Ruhui's sigh, everyone also nodded, with Du Ruhui's precedent of his son's rebellion after his early death, the big guy's requirements for his son are already very low.

After Hou Junji realized how lucky he was, his attitude was much more humble, and he was humbly asking Li Jing for his views on the battle situation.

Chang'an is bound to be recovered, but how to fight is a problem.

Li Jing thinks that it is completely possible to reproduce Cui Qianyou's style of play in the Guanzhong Plain, after all, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty after all.

"The rebels must be arrogant when they capture Chang'an, and it should be a good policy to lead the rebels to defeat and encircle the border army, and force them to abandon the city."

Hou Junji agreed, but then raised a question: "Who will do it?" ”

Kill three generals in a row, who else can lead the army? Who dares to lead the army?

[Fang Xuan is a black history that Su Zong does not want to recall.

Suzong, who ascended the throne in Lingwu, quickly saved up a wave of family funds, and reinforcements from Hexi, Longyou, and Anxi arrived, with nearly 60,000 combatable soldiers.

How to use this hard-earned family wealth to gain prestige has become the top priority in Su Zong's heart.

And Fang Xuan relied on his outstanding eloquence to fascinate Su Zong, not only deliberately giving Fang Xuan preferential treatment, but also asking Fang Xuan to participate in decision-making on important military matters.

Thus began Fang Xuan's short, legendary, and absurd months.

Fang Xuan's promotion route is as follows:

In June, he was unknown in Chang'an.

In July, he relied on chasing Xuanzong officials to the prime minister.

August relied on eloquence to convince Su Zong, and his position became more and more stable.

In September, he was awarded by Xuanzong to recruit Xijing and defend Putong.

In October, he invited the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses to lead his troops to recover the two capitals, and Suzong agreed to grant him a festival.

From an idle squire to a generalissimo of the two towns and the world's soldiers and horses, Fang Xuan only took four months.

And Suzong also granted Fang Xuan the right to open the mansion, and Deng Jingshan, Song Ruosi, Jia Zhi, Liu Zhi and other people who had never fought at all entered Fang Xuan's shogunate.

At that time, someone persuaded Fang Xuan: The rebels have an elite towing down the river, so they must not be careless.

Fang Xuanrui commented: Although there are many rivers in the river, can I be Liu Zhihu? 】

"This Li Heng is worthy of Xuanzong's son."

Zhang Fei thought that with the new emperor, it should stop a little.

But unfortunately it didn't.

Liu Bei is a little unconfident:

"This Tang is the prime minister, so casual?"

Don't look at merit or ability, in Xuanzong it is because of chasing the holy driver, and in Suzong here it is because of eloquence.

This reminded Liu Bei of a person:

"The grace of his generation, Zhao Kuo's resurrection should also be envied."

Zhao Kuo was exceptionally promoted, in addition to being able to speak well, he was also stained with the grace of his father Zhao Hao's famous general.

And what is this Fang Xuan? It's all about one mouth.

Immediately, Liu Bei turned to his military advisor and said with a smile:

"In comparison, I treat Kong Ming very lightly."

Just laughing, Kong Ming also responded with laughter:

"If the lord has 60,000 elite soldiers when I go out of the mountain, why worry about destroying the thief?"

Fa Zheng looked at the harmony between the lord and Kong Ming, and was very envious.

However, it is more about Zhuge Liang's convincing, and he also said at this time:

"When Kong Ming came out of the mountain, he had the strategy of "Longzhong Pair" to spread the world."

"This Fang Xuan only knows vulgar words, how can he compare to Kong Ming?"

Fang Xuan's sentence, literally translated: Is the river a good thing?

There is neither a strategy nor a way to deal with it.

is called the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but what he says is like an idle man in the market.

Such a person still calls Zhuge in vain?

He was not so crazy when no one in Yizhou was convinced.

[The battle of Chen Tao's oblique was kicked off in this absurd and ridiculous prelude.

Fang Xuan led 50,000 elite soldiers to divide into three routes, and the troops were sent to Chang'an!

Li Guangjin led the northern army to set off from Mukden, and Fang Xuan and Liu Guizhe led the Chinese army to set off from martial arts.

These two armies totaled 40,000 men and horses as the vanguard, and another 10,000 troops of the Southern Army were led by Yang Xiwen and set off from Yishou.

On the rebel side, An Shouzhong, one of the four fierce generals under An Lushan's tent, led only 10,000 people.

The two sides will meet Chen Taoxian.

There is no detailed record in the history books, but An Shouzhong should have been dumbfounded when he saw Tang Jun.

No one could have imagined that Fang Xuan was still a retro school.

With the support of Li Heng, Fang Xuan built a military chariot according to the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period as the trump card of the Tang army.

Isn't it a chariot drawn by 2,000 oxen to rush straight into the enemy's position, and then kill them with foot cavalry?

This is Fang Xuan's genius idea.

Contrary to his wishes, An Shouzhong did not stand there obediently and was rushed by Lao Niu.

He ordered his soldiers to strike their shields with swords and make loud noises to intimidate the ox-carts and slow them down.

Immediately ordered the light cavalry to approach and throw torches into the oxcart array, and for a time the oxcart array was in chaos, and the panicked cattle began to rush backwards and trample on the Tang army.

An Shouzhong seized the opportunity to lead the army to rush and kill, and it only took half a day to completely defeat the 40,000 Tang army.

As a response, the Southern Army entered the battlefield a day later, and at this time, it was difficult for the Tang Army, which An Shouzhong had fought with a great victory, to fight back.

Yang Xiwen, the commander of the Southern Army, was also very simple, and surrendered directly when he saw that he couldn't fight.

At this point, Fang Xuan's battle directly abolished Li Hengdong's family finance, causing Li Heng to turn to Hui in order to quell the rebellion.

Chen Taoxie, also known as Chen Tao, passed by here and planned to defect to Tang Suzong, Du Fu was also captured by the rebels.

Later, Du Fu wrote "Sadness Chen Tao" lamenting this battle:

Mengdong is a good son of ten counties, and his blood is Chen Taoze Zhongshui.

There was no sound of battle in the wilderness, and 40,000 rebels died on the same day. 】

"Mengdong Ten Counties Liangjiazi......" Du Ruhui felt that the pen in his hand was so heavy.

He once thought that the Tang Dynasty, which had been extremely prosperous for a hundred years, should collapse vigorously.

But I didn't expect that the emperor was mediocre, treacherous and misleading the country, and the traitor was greedy.

And at this time, the last bit of the Tang Dynasty's family background was made up by a person who could only talk about it.

The three towns of Anxi, Longyou, Hexi, and 130,000 elite soldiers on the border should have deterred hundreds of countries and rampant Tang warriors on the frontier.

was completely destroyed by a forced order from Tongguan and Chen Taoxian's retro tactics.

It should be the most elite soldiers and horses in the three towns of the border, and they died without dignity.

"How can a dead dog pay for a big deal!" Hou Junji couldn't help but express his chest directly.

He hasn't forgotten that this Anxi Jiedu Town is located in Gaochang, and whose merit is to destroy Gaochang?

Of course, it was he, Hou Junji, who relied on His Majesty's foresight to decide to conquer it!

In this way, Anxi has a little relationship with him, but this can be used as a pawn to attack the bridgehead in Central Asia, and it is gone?

The courtiers were excited, and Li Shimin seemed to be too calm in comparison.

"Not enough to make things happen!"

This is Li Shimin's evaluation.

Wei Zheng followed the wind:

"Why not enough? If he still knows himself, hang himself to save face! ”

Li Shimin looked over and said quietly:

"I'm talking about this Su Zong."

Wei Zheng was dumbfounded.

Immediately, Li Shimin turned his head and looked ahead:

"This Su Zong is also a talented person, but he cherishes this Fang Xuan."

Wei Zheng didn't dare to say anything for the time being, although he felt in his heart that what His Majesty said was really right.

And Li Shimin's thinking is even more strategic:

"Once this army and horses are gone, Suzong will have no support, and the only ...... will remain in the town of the Tang Festival."

"The Hedong soldiers and horses led by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi?"

Then suddenly:

"No wonder this Su Sect wants to use the hand of Hui Hui."

"......"

Li Shimin paced back and forth and knocked on his head:

"But why did Hui Hui help Su Zong and not An Lushan?"

"Coercing the Son of Heaven to make the world care?"

Du Ruhui couldn't stand this increasingly terrifying speculation, and said loudly:

"Or Hui also recite the power of the Tang Dynasty......"

Li Shimin smiled:

"Keming, this generation is terrifying to the Tang Dynasty."

"It's hard to cherish the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty."

In Jieli Khan, in all the opponents who have been defeated in the past, Li Shimin sees this truth very clearly.

……

"This Du Gong Department is really ill-fated......"

Kong Ming was worried about his friend.

Well...... He looked through the light curtain to see the Du Gong Department hundreds of years later.

And this Du Fu visited the historical sites of Chengdu hundreds of years later to pay tribute to him.

It's a shame not to be able to meet.

Liu Bei also resonated with the poet.

"And there is a heart that worries about the country and the people, which is thousands of times better than this Fang Xuan."

Being in a high position in the Ministry of Industry and being able to know the people's livelihood and suffering, this is what Liu Bei admires the most.

As for Fang Xuan, Xu Shu felt really blind.

"Thanks to the people who are seeking swords at this moment, they have made the rebels famous!"

He didn't feel envious of Fang Xuan's rapid promotion, but only felt that this was another disaster for the people of Datang.

Zhao Yun did the math on the side:

"After this battle, the strength of the Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers is similar to that of the rebels, and slightly less."

"And the rebels occupy the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, which must be saved by the Tang Dynasty officials and soldiers, and the rebel officers and soldiers are easy to attack and defend."

And the casual mention of the light curtain, how does Zhao Yun feel familiar?

Unable to quell the rebellion, he asked for help from the Hu people, and if the Hu people win, the tail will not be lost, and the Hu people will be angry with this Su Zong if they are defeated.

This Anshi rebellion is becoming more and more confusing.

This Datang made Zhao Yun feel dead no matter how he looked at it.

How can it be extended for another hundred years?
