If you want to say who is the first "God of War" in the Tianbao period, it must be Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

The Anshi Rebellion, which was supposed to be fought for two years at most, was fought for eight years under the manipulation of Brother Ji and Li Heng. Of course, Li Heng's military operation is also fierce compared to Brother Ji's operation, not to mention much.

It's just that Li Heng's operations didn't happen during the Tianbao period, so the title of "Tianbao God of War" is not his turn.

What level is Brother Ji's command of the war, Fang Youde naturally knows better than anyone else. And if this emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, it will definitely be a disaster for the border army of the Tang Dynasty.

He alone is worthy of adding 100,000 elite soldiers to the enemy's army!

"Saint, the matter of the royal conquest...... Who is it better to beat? ”

Fang Youde said with some embarrassment, and finally stopped the ugly words and didn't say anything.

Fang Youde also wanted to treat Brother Ji as Taizong, if Brother Ji had one-tenth of Taizong's level of leading troops, he wouldn't say anything, just pinch his nose and admit it.

When the time comes, sell some strength on the battlefield, and you can come back to a certain extent.

However, the rattling battle of Tongguan in the Anshi Rebellion was there, and Fang Youde really didn't dare to overestimate the military level of Brother Ji.

"Whoever comes up will hit him!

Don't worry, I know in my heart that I won't interfere in military affairs when the time comes.

I've never fought a war in my life, and it's a shame to say. Now that I am half cut in the soil, Aiqing can fulfill this wish, right? ”

Brother Ji asked with a smile, very easy-going and warm.

Fang Youde hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "Weichen is terrified, how dare he interfere with the sage's decision." ”

"Well, you have a heart, go ahead, and train the Shence Army well."

Brother Ji waved his hand indifferently.

After Fang Youde retreated, he looked at the lotus pond in the distance. Spring has arrived, and it is a scene of vitality and competition.

The "unity of man and god" plan in Brother Ji's heart is being implemented in full swing. After completion, he is the god of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to resist, not even the idea of resisting!

It's just that Datang founded the country on horseback, and it is completely impossible without military merits.

Although the Lingzhou Alliance was beautiful last time, those were all the situations that Fang Youde fought down, and everyone knew that it had nothing to do with him, the emperor.

The royal driving and personal conquest, entering the Lingyan Pavilion, and the Taoist Monument, these three things are a trinity, and they are indispensable to comprehensively strengthen their power.

Of course, on this basis, Brother Ji still hopes to complete it at the lowest cost.

It is not difficult to enter the Lingyan Pavilion and welcome back the Taoist Monument (secretly sent someone to make it himself), but this royal driver can't fill the water. Not only must the emperor be in the army, but also have to meet many conditions to block the mouth of the world.

The first is that the enemy's strength must be strong enough, and now looking around the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has this strength.

The second is that the battle must not only be won, but also won beautifully.

The third is that the important role played by him as an emperor must be reflected in the war.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor must be a help, not a burden.

With this royal expedition, there will be no more resistance to entering Lingyan Pavilion and increasing the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. And the "self-boasting" Taoist monument, the "translated" text, there are also more people willing to believe it.

Although Brother Ji is old, he understands very well in his heart that many people are thinking about what happened after the death of the old emperor in the Manchu Dynasty. Pin your hopes on these people, and in the end you don't know how you died.

This made him more and more suspicious of unfamiliar courtiers.

Mythologize yourself and make meritorious deeds, and become a banner of Datang, and in the end, no one dares to rebel.

Brother Kei was very well organized.

"I, I'm only one step away from Taizong."

Brother Kei muttered to himself.

He suddenly remembered something, looked at Gao Lishi beside him and asked, "How is the noble one you said last time?" ”

"Hui Sheng, he is quite smart and capable."

Colliers said truthfully, and now Gao Shang is managing his mansion and keeping it in good order. The words "astute and capable" are also appropriate.

"Let him be cleansed, and you will be your son." After his body recovers, he will be sent to King Yong's side as an internal servant and serve as an eyeliner for me. I will ensure that he will be rich and prosperous in the future.

Let Gao Shang find an opportunity to hint to King Yong that I intend to change the crown prince. ”

Brother Ji said indifferently.

"What the saint said is very true, and presumably the noble will also be grateful for the saint's love."

Colliers complimented quietly.

"This noble, don't you really mind being a eunuch?"

Brother Ji asked curiously. He also knew that no man could stand being stabbed by Ka. If he hadn't been forced to be helpless, no one would have become a eunuch.

"He may mind being a eunuch, but he must be more concerned about being poor all his life and not being able to make progress.

Noble and elegant, being a eunuch is his right path. ”

Colliers said with a smile, not taking this noble seriously at all.

For Brother Kei, Colliers is a helper who grows up with him and will never lose his temper with himself. But for others, Colliers is a ferocious tiger that can always affect their life and death.

Gao Shang likes to mess with women, Gao Lishi has also heard of it, and Gao Shang had a lot of fun with the county magistrate called Ling Huchao, two men and one woman, and was impeached by Fang Youde.

If this kind of person is not castrated, I am afraid that it will cause a big incident.

When it comes to the layout of Brother Ji, Colliers doesn't dare to be careless.

……

What Brother Ji planned, Fang Chongyong didn't know if he was far away in Shanzhou, but this did not prevent him from going through the "handover procedures" in Shanzhou City and stepping down as the acting envoy of Longyoujiedu.

On the second day of Cen Shen's trip to Lanzhou, Fang Chongyong gathered the envoys of the Longyou Army for a meeting.

In the hall of the Yamen, everyone was complex. It seems that there is a lot to say, but nothing is said in the end. It's really because Fang Chongyong is too legendary and has too many stories on his body, so they don't know how to evaluate it.

This young Fang Yanei, since he came to Longyou, has been tossing and turning. Now it's finally stopped, and I fought with the Tubo people, and I won a beautiful victory.

As a result, he was transferred to Hexi as a festival envoy!

This made them, the military envoys who were on errands, not know how to adjust their relationship with Fang Chongyong.

"You can rest assured about military salaries. The next envoy of Longyoujiedu, General Wang, is the father-in-law of a certain person.

The matter of the salary of the army on the right side of Long, a certain person will make it clear to him face to face. Something that has been promised will definitely be done. ”

Fang Chongyong let out a long breath and said, waving his hand to signal everyone not to get excited.

Originally, all the military envoys were a little relieved, but when they heard that Wang Zhongji was Fang Chongyong's father-in-law, they immediately hung their hearts again, and secretly complained in their hearts.

This one is indeed gone, but his father-in-law is here again!

Gone and didn't seem to leave!

If Fang Yanei wanted to put on a small shoe for someone present, it would not be too easy.

"Fang Jieshuai, don't worry, we will restrain the soldiers."

Gai Jiayun patted his chest and reassured.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after autumn, the Tubo people will definitely make a comeback. Even if the whole country invades the Hehuang Valley, they must not relax their military training.

These are the heartfelt words of a certain person before leaving. ”

Fang Chongyong saluted to everyone present.

"We will wait for the end of our life and live up to our mission!"

Everyone present saluted each other bravely, and the shouts shook the sky.

It's just that although they say it well now, when the Tubo people invade the country, how many Tang soldiers will bury their bones on the plateau?

One will be a success!

Relying on military merits and wealth is only a kind of game for the powerful after all, and the upward channel has not been blocked for the time being.

Not to say how fair this upward channel is. Ordinary people and the children of generals are not a starting line from birth.

Thinking of this, Fang Chongyong was a little excited, and he was not in the mood to say anything about the next scene.

"It's all dispersed, the matter of the Tianwei Army's reorganization in Lanzhou is still an internal affair of the Longyou Army, and it has nothing to do with a certain arrangement.

Other things, you wait for Wang Jieshuai to come. Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a meeting later. ”

After saying that, he stood up, ignored everyone's surprised gazes, and walked straight out the door.

Before Fang Chongyong could reach the study of the envoy of Longyoujie, he noticed the sound of armor rubbing behind him. When I turned around, it turned out that it was Wang who chased after him from behind, looking like he wanted to speak but didn't know how.

"Is there anything else going on with the envoy Wang?"

Fang Chongyong asked suspiciously.

"I want to join the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army."

Wang said in a deep voice, and saluted Fang Chongyong with his fists.

Theoretically speaking, all the border generals of the Tang Army are loyal to Ji Ge, and there is no question of who is subordinate to whom, so Fang Chongyong did not think about recruiting any "cronies", nor did he believe in those so-called "cronies", and in the end he would die with him to rebel.

When everyone is a border general of the Tang Dynasty, others obey him, and that's because he is a festival envoy. On the premise of not affecting the overall situation, naturally some people are willing to come to the set, and even pat their chests and are willing to be born and die.

However, no matter how good a colleague relationship is, it is just a colleague.

If Fang Chongyong sees that Ji Ge is unhappy and wants to rebel one day, he must find a suitable excuse to raise the banner. Otherwise, no one wants to carry the head of the whole family and do such a "big cause" with him!

From this point of view, Wang's behavior is a little strange now.

"Huh?"

Fang Chongyong was stunned, he never expected that Wang would say this. Wang is rare to be a military envoy, and his entry into the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army is no less than starting from scratch, and his personal losses are not ordinarily large.

Of course, in the Tempo era, it was easy to climb up. The key is to have the ability, follow the right people, and get the favor of the saints.

"General Wang is a good envoy of the Heyuan Army, how can he be willing to succumb to be a petty officer in the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army?"

Fang Chongyong asked suspiciously.

"Fang Jieshuai, don't laugh.

Now outsiders don't know the power of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, and they don't take it seriously. When they find out, they will probably sharpen their heads and drill into it.

Instead of conforming to the crowd at that time, it is better to seek an official position in it now.

Fang Jieshuai also needs someone to fight in the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army. ”

Wang Rare said with a wry smile on his face, this time he was out of the way.

Their family used to follow Li Heng, but now that Li Heng has fallen, they must find an errand closer to the saint in order to carry the family forward! It is also necessary to find a reliable backer again.

Otherwise, if you are a bitter military envoy here in Longyou, you won't be able to see Brother Ji for a few years, so what's the point?

This is a reason that Beijing officials of the same level are always more popular than local officials.

Although the establishment of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army is not large, it is the personal forbidden army of the saint, and it belongs to the existence of the best of the best. The building near the water gets the moon first, and the king is rare and not stupid at all.

"Okay."

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly and said.

Brother Ji's original words are that "anyone in the border army can be recruited regardless of their status", which naturally includes military envoys. After all, the generals of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army may have to expand the army, and of course they also need high-level generals, and it is not necessary to absorb the military envoys of the Right Army of Longxi to enter it.

Although the movement is a bit exaggerated.

"Xie Fangjie is handsome, his subordinates must be saddled before and after, and they will not hesitate to do anything!"

Wang said with an excited face, his body trembling slightly.

This thick leg is finally hugged!

As for his father, Wang Sijing, was beheaded by Fang Youde...... It was rare for the king to feel that since the man was dead, he should lie down in the grave and wait for the descendants to come and offer him incense.

It can't be said that a large number of living people in the Wang family can't live by this dead person, right?

"Since you are a member of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, you can call it a military envoy of a certain party."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said.

He had already written a letter to Brother Ji to use the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army as a "mobile force", and the establishment could be attached at will, and it also saved the border army and the forbidden army from being difficult to coordinate. Fang Chongyong went to Hexi, so the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army was attached to the Hexi Border Army; In the future, if you go to Hedong, you will be hung in the Hedong border army sequence.

Then recruit the brave from the border army, train at the same time, and participate in skirmishes on the border by the way!

In the end, the soldiers and horses selected on the battlefield must be able to recruit good fighters.

Although Brother Ji has high hopes for the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, he also knows that this matter must not be rushed, otherwise it will be the second Dragon Martial Army, which will be useless.

"General Wang can choose a few cronies who are skilled in archers and horses in the Heyuan Army to go to the post together. If there are few familiar people around, the command is also very blunt, and he can't play the level of General Wang.

If General Wang rises in the future, they can also be mentioned by the way. ”

Fang Chongyong suggested very "intimately".

Hearing this, the king rarely comprehended, crossed his hands and saluted: "The last general understands, the kindness of the envoy of Xie Fang's military envoy, the last general will be rewarded!" ”

"Let's go, hand over the affairs of the Heyuan Army earlier, and let the deputy military envoy take over for the time being.

After a certain father-in-law arrives in Longyou, he will also place the people he brings with him in various armies. So now it is the person who is the envoy of the army on the right side of Long, and it is difficult to say whether it will be or not.

You chose to leave the Longyou Army, but you didn't take the wrong path. ”

Fang Chongyong said meaningfully.

In Wang Zhongsi's letter, the other party Chongyong mentioned a general he promoted in Hedong, named Li Guangbi!

Wang Zhongsi was full of praise for this Li Guangbi, saying that he had the qualifications of a general. This time, he went to Longyou as an envoy, and also brought Li Guangbi and others with him, in addition to many pro-troops, the scale is not small.

In other words, Wang Zhongsi never thought that he would go to Longyou alone to serve as the envoy of Jiedu, but with his team of cronies, he could quickly take over the military power of Longyou. This is a lot more beautiful than when he went to Hexi.

The "family background" is also a lot stronger.

Over the years, Wang Zhongsi has not been idle, and has promoted many people, many of whom have finally become cronies who took office with him.

Although the imperial court prohibits this kind of thing on the surface, whether it is An Lushan or Wang Zhonghei, they are all focusing on cultivating "their own people" who follow them at all times, so as to deal with the complicated situation of the border towns and festivals to grasp the military, government, and financial power.

This is the bottom line that Brother Ji acquiesces to, and he must not go any further.

In fact, Wang Zhonghei also did this in accordance with the times and had to do it as a last resort.

The term of office of the festival is generally not more than four years, and the personnel turnover between several major festivals is also very frequent. If any of the Jiedu envoys don't have their own cronies who can follow along, then there is no way to quickly take root in the local area and control the military power anyway.

The complicated situation in the border towns has put forward higher requirements for the Jiedu envoys, so that they can use troops externally after taking office, and properly handle the friction with the border forces.

The forces around Datang will not deliberately show mercy because these knots make it very slow to enter the state. Those who should do things will definitely do things.

Fang Chongyong had never considered the issue of being a festival envoy before, after all, he was still too young, and he was far behind in terms of seniority.

Only now, things seem to have changed somewhat.

After Wang rarely left, Fang Chongyong was silent, looking at the arrow towers at the four corners of the Yamen courtyard wall in a daze.

One fence and three piles, now that he is the envoy of the Hexi Festival, it is time to have the kind of cronies who follow him!
