If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a teammate like a pig, and this sentence is also applicable when helping others.

Without Li Heng's help, Fang Chongyong operated Wang Zhonghei to return to Chang'an easily, and he had already had a comprehensive plan.

With some of Li Heng's subordinates interfering indiscriminately, this matter will not be done, and it will easily arouse Li Longji's suspicion!

Now as expected, not to mention that things are messed up, and I don't care about it!

Li Heng is really unreliable, and he slipped away when he encountered something.

Fang Chongyong didn't need to go to Zheng County, Huazhou to see it, he could guess what the future mother-in-law would be in a hurry to become.

"Brother-in-law, do you think there is still a chance to turn around in this matter?"

Wang Yanshu asked a little nervously.

The use of power has a so-called "dimension", and the situation of "being unable to use force" often occurs.

Today's Wang Yanshu is vaguely aware of this, and he is even more emotionally aware that Fang Chongyong's mind far exceeds that of his peers.

Because he felt that Fang Chongyong had already had a deep understanding of this.

When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the sturdy soldiers and horses could not do anything to the ministers of the DPRK and China, but were manipulated by those people with intrigues and tricks.

This is a typical example of the difference in the dimensions of power, which cannot be used.

"There is still another opportunity for this matter. Only when the time comes. But before I can do that, you have one more thing to do for me. ”

Fang Chongyong leaned over and muttered in Wang Yanshu's ear for a long time.

"Is that really okay?"

Wang Yanshu asked with some uncertainty, Fang Chongyong's method was not too complicated, but too simple, so simple that it was even a bit like child's play.

"This is the last chance, or I can't do it. When you go back, ask your mother-in-law if you are willing, if not, ask another Gao Ming. ”

Fang Chongyong refused to back down even a step, as if he had a posture of "if you don't agree, I'll pick a son". Wang Yanshu was helpless, so he had to agree and rushed back to Zheng County, Huazhou non-stop.

However, what Fang Chongyong didn't know was that in the north of the Tang Empire, where the Xi people and Khitan people lived together north of Youzhou, the sudden change in the situation caught him off guard.

……

"Fang Jieshuai, is it not appropriate for us to transfer five hundred elite cavalry without Zhang Jieshuai's military order?"

Beside Fang Youde, who was dressed in military uniform, a person dressed as a scribe bowed and asked in a low voice. This person's name is Cui Hao, and he is a very famous poet who wrote the poem "Yellow Crane Tower", and many of his works can be described as popular.

But in the officialdom, he was depressed all his life, and now as an attaché (adjutant) of the Youzhou Observation and Disposal Envoy, he is working in the town of Youzhou Domain.

"You go back and tell Zhang Jieshuai that you have the right to do things, and you don't have time to explain more. Let's talk about it after this battle. ”

Fang Youde, who had a grim face, looked at the dense woods in the distance and frowned slightly. At this moment, he was leading five hundred elite horsemen to ambush on the hill that led to the Huanghe River (Luanhe).

If this battle is successful, it is easy to say, if he loses, he will not die on the battlefield, and he will be cut off by Li Longji when he goes back.

Of course, it happened suddenly, and the arrow had to be sent on the string, and Fang Youde had no choice.

In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Shouqi of Youzhou Jiedu found an opportunity to lead the army to fight against the remnants of the Khitan rebellion, defeated the enemy army in Lushan, captured Dingkou and countless goods, but did not get any special reward.

Perhaps Li Longji felt that these things were the job that the feudal town should do, and they were not worthy of reward.

Zhang Shouqi thinks it doesn't matter, if the court doesn't reward it, he won't reward it, he himself is determined to be in the prime minister, and he doesn't care much about these.

However, his arrogant soldiers were not happy!

Who is rare to snatch that little thing from the hands of the Xi Khitan, what they want is to be promoted to make a fortune, go back to Chang'an to be chic, and even look forward to everyone being promoted to the next level after Zhang Shouqi is gone!

Therefore, Zhang Shouqi's two generals, Zhao Kan and Bai Zhendra, pretended to be ordered to inspect Yingzhou, but in fact planned to plot against him. This incident happened to let Fang Youde know, and captured the two who had not had time to launch a conspiracy.

Isn't it set up to deal with similar things? This position is the two sides of the same coin.

After interrogation, it was learned that Zhao Kan and Bai Zhendra were a little dissatisfied with Wu Zhiyi, who was the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu at the time, and thought that Wu Zhiyi was very inactive in the military action to exterminate the Xi rebels.

They believe that the unfinished work of encircling and suppressing the Xi people and the Khitan last year was because the Pinglu Domain Town did not cooperate with the Youzhou Domain, so many Xi elites escaped into the mountains and forests.

Therefore, these two people wanted to fake Wu Zhiyi's order and let Pinglu Domain Town enter the mountains to suppress bandits.

Fang Youde learned the inside story after the interrogation, but he did not arrest the two and put them in prison for punishment, but calculated them and let them make meritorious contributions.

He took advantage of the power in his hands to write a military order directly in the name of the center, and asked Zhao Kan and Bai Zhendra to bring the military order to Yingzhou.

This military order informed Wu Zhiyi, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, that he must send troops to the north bank of Huangshui, take advantage of the autumn harvest, attack it unprepared, and intercept the remnants of the Xi rebels.

Wu Zhiyi didn't dare not listen, because the power used by Fang Youde was only used by observing and disposing of it in extreme circumstances. It is a big move that will only be used when a certain local festival envoy intends to rebel and observes the disposal of the envoy to urgently deploy troops in the name of the imperial court to quell the rebellion.

Because the imperial court generally adopts a four-year change system for the festival envoys, and there are various control means to assist, so there has not been a rebellion of the festival envoys. In many feudal towns, the Jiedu envoy also served as an observation and disposal envoy at the same time.

For example, the Hexi Jiedu envoy also serves as the Hexi observation and disposal envoy, and is no longer set up separately.

There are two festival marshals here in Youzhou Domain, which is a special case.

Therefore, Fang Youde's big move has not been seen before, and its power cannot be underestimated!

After all, no one wants to be the first unlucky person to have their head plucked for it.

In the face of this inexplicable military order, Wu Zhiyi finally relented.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Zhiyi, who was born in the veteran Youzi, had a record of escaping from the battle against Xi Ren and Khitan back then, and he survived under the cover of Zhang Shouqi, and he was not punished afterwards.

Although this matter has always been a secret, there are still many people in the high-level of Youzhou Domain.

At this moment, Wu Zhiyi, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, was leading his troops to fight fiercely with Xi on the bank of Huangshui, while Fang Youde was leading his troops to ambush on a hill more than ten miles away, leading him to act as an ambush.

"Jie Shuai, there are Khitan cavalry coming towards Huangshui, only two miles away from here!"

At this moment, a scout hurriedly rode to Fang Youde's side and bowed his hand.

"How many?"

"About five thousand."

The Tang Army scout said a little nervously, with five hundred to five thousand, that courage is not ordinary. Of course, there are no absolutes in things on the battlefield.

Fang Youde frowned slightly, the cavalry of the Khitan people was twice as many as he expected.

However, retreat now, and everything will be ruined.

If it's a man, he should draw a knife head-on!

"Prepare to put the logs!"

Fang Youde calmly ordered.

"Jie Shuai!"

Cui Hao was shocked, Fang Youde wanted to die, he didn't want to die yet!

"If you go back and repay Zhang Jieshuai, you will say that this section commander is here to break the Khitan cavalry, and it is not worth it."

Fang Youde knocked on Cui Hao's shoulder with a horsewhip and said, his tone was sonorous and firm!

"Repay the merit before you start fighting?"

Cui Hao asked in a low voice.

However, Fang Youde just pointed his horsewhip in the direction of the Modou Army camp behind him, signaling him to go back and report the news quickly.

After Cui Hao left, Fang Youde said to the herald soldiers beside him: "If the order goes down, the meritorious service is today." If this battle is won, this section commander will ask you for credit in front of the Son of Heaven! Let Zhao Kan and Bai Zhendra take the lead, if they don't die in this battle, this section will not be blamed for the past! ”

"Order!"

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

The desolate horn sounded, and the Khitan cavalry, who were preparing to surprise attack the flank of the Tang army led by Wu Zhiyi, were scattered by a pile of logs rolling down from the hills on the way to the battlefield.

Just when they were frightened, five hundred elite horsemen of the Tang army rushed down from the hill, and Fang Youde rushed to the front with one horse, cutting off the military flag of the Khitan cavalry with one sword.

The Khitans who had been hit in a row were in a chaotic formation, and they couldn't take care of each other. Those who fell off their horses trampled on each other, and countless people scattered and fled for their lives.

On the other side of the Huang River, Wu Zhiyi also finished cooking the remnants of the Xi people, and found that there were sporadic Khitan cavalry rushing in one after another, and hurriedly sent troops to block it.

In the autumn of the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Youzhou observed and disposed of Fang Youde, led 500 cavalry, with the cooperation of the soldiers and horses of Pinglu Domain, near the west bank of Huangshui, fifty miles east of the Modou army's garrison, and broke the Khitan cavalry with 5,000 people!

In this battle, the Khitan and Xi coalition forces were defeated, and the Tang army took the opportunity to recover the defense area lost due to the rebellion of Sun Wanrong and Li Quanzhong in the late Wu Zhou period, expanded the communication channel between Youzhou and Pinglu Domain, and opened up a military buffer zone.

The significance of this battle is not how many enemies are killed, but in changing the posture of the Tang army's passive defense in Youzhou since the end of the Wu Weekend, so that the forces of Youzhou and Pinglu can be calmly dispatched to each other.

Cui Hao, a staff member under Fang Youde's account, wrote a song "Yanmen Huren Song", praising the peace of Youzhou after the battle.

"Gaoshan Daijun is connected to Yan in the east, and Yanmen Hu's family is near.

Liberate the eagle and chase the birds, and be able to hunt Akita on behalf of the horse.

The wildfires on the mountains are cold and burning, and the lonely peaks are wet and smoky in the rain.

Hearing that there is no fighting in Liaoxi, he is always drunk and sleeps in the restaurant. ”

Soon, the war report and Cui Hao's poems were widely circulated in Chang'an, and the brothel in Pingkangfang was boiling.

The scholars who mingled in the willow alleys of the flower street, drank and carnivaled and wrote poems, celebrating the invincibility of the Tang Dynasty in the world, and singing the praises of the bright stars rising in the border towns.

It's as if they personally defeated the Khitans!

……

"My Datang is invincible in the world, hahahahahaha!"

In the diligent government building of Xingqing Palace, seeing the battle report sent by Fang Youde through the post station channel, even Li Longji, who was accustomed to the good news from the border town, was as excited as if he was in his twenties.

"Why didn't I see that Quan Zhong was a tiger general?"

Li Longji sighed with emotion.

"No one knows that Quan Zhonghui will lead the troops, but he is famous for his boldness."

Colliers reminded in a whisper.

"Quan Zhong's courage is really big."

Thinking of the events of that year, Li Longji couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

After the Shenlong coup, Princess Taiping was in a difficult position. Li Longji was also hesitant about whether to turn his face with his aunt at that time.

At that time, among the former ministers of the Qiandi, only Fang Youli Cambodia was the first to strike, and took the initiative to undertake the task of liaising with the generals of the Beiya Forbidden Army. What happened after that proved that Fang Youde was prescient.

If Princess Taiping had struck first at that time, it would have been difficult to say who would have killed the deer in the end.

"Now there are a lot of people in the market among the ten thousand horsemen, and their combat power is worrying. I intend to reorganize the Ten Thousand Horsemen, break them up, and lay out the redundant personnel. The new Longwu Army was built, divided into two armies, left and right, and Chen Xuanli was the general.

Let Fang Youde lead the general of the left army of the Longwu Army, what do you think? ”

Li Longji asked Gao Lishidao.

"Fang Youde is not good at communicating, Chen Xuanli has no military achievements, if the two of them are in the Longwu Army, I am afraid that some people in the court will criticize Fang Youde and should not live under others."

Colliers said cautiously.

The two cronies are in the Longwu Army, and Fang Youde has also made great contributions to Bian Zhen recently, who is the first and who is the second in command at that time?

Can the people below be convinced? Will they form gangs?

Originally, I didn't think it was like that, but now that I heard Gao Lishi say this, Li Longji felt that this arrangement was not very appropriate. Chen Xuanli and Fang Youde could only stay in the newly formed Longwu Army.

Who is better to keep?

"It can be granted to the party to have the position of Youyouzhou Festival."

Colliers continued.

"Not bad."

Li Longji nodded slightly, this appointment can ensure that Fang Youde fulfills his promise to the soldiers who participated in the war.

"It's just that Zhang Shouqi has been in the border town for many years and has quite a lot of military achievements. This time, Fang Youde borrowed troops to fight, and he did not interfere to stop it. If the court belittles him for no reason, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the border towns......"

After speaking, Li Longji was silent, and arranged Fang Youde, but Zhang Shouqi was not easy to arrange.

Pinglu Jiedu made Wu Zhiyi cooperate with Fang Youde to fight in this battle, and the victory is not small, but it is also meritorious, it can't be said that Wu Zhiyi was demoted, and Fang Youde was allowed to be the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, right?

Li Longji was in trouble all of a sudden.

"There were ministers in the DPRK and China who recommended Zhang Shouqi to be the prime minister, but Zhang Jiuling tried his best to stop him before he gave up. Now that Zhang Jiuling has gone to Jingzhou to serve as the assassin, the sage can discuss Zhang Shouqi's entry into the prime minister in the court.

Zhang Shouqi entered the phase, Fang Youde was the envoy of the Youzhou Festival, and other meritorious people could be rewarded in turn, and this matter was not difficult to do. ”

Gao Lishi made a suggestion to let Zhang Shouqi enter the phase, continuing the rule of "going out and entering the phase" since the early Tang Dynasty.

It's like, it's not impossible.

"That makes sense, I'll have to think about it."

Li Longji nodded.

"Lux, you go and call Brother Nu and Li Shizhi, I want to ask their opinions."

In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji ordered Li Shizhi to build an embankment in view of the flooding of valley water and Luoshui every year and the consumption of people's resources. Yin Li Shizhi of Henan Province used the money of the inner treasury to build the three major embankments of Shangyang, Jicui and Yuepi, and successfully resisted the Guluo flood.

Because of his merits, Li Shizhi was appointed as the imperial historian, and he was one step away from worshipping each other.

Li Longji has a few people in his heart who are qualified to take over the phase, but Li Shizhi, Zhang Shouqi, and Niu Xianke are only. Since Fang Youde has made meritorious contributions on the front line, then simply solve the matter of worshipping the prime minister.

With such an idea, Li Longji called Li Linfu and Li Shizhi to the diligent government affairs building of Xingqing Palace.
