Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2954

Chapter 2954

Today, the vicinity of Chang'an City has already become a large military camp. There are more than a dozen troops ordered to mobilize Chang'an, and they usually conduct drills in the station. It is very common for some personnel to be transferred.Unless you can tie up the thieves tightly and watch them enter that barracks with your own eyes, otherwise it would be wishful thinking to determine who the culprits are based on the transfer of troops afterwards.

Fang Jun frowned and asked: "How many people are attached to this enemy, will they be thrown away?"

The soldier replied: "One of the scouts under my command, except for one of my subordinates who came back to report, the other four all followed. It's just that Ziwu Road is too narrow and dangerous, so we can only follow up after the thieves have passed. Ambush in advance halfway. And if the thieves are too cautious and simply leave a brigade behind, it will be impossible to ambush."

Fang Jun was stunned.

Since Meridian Road, there is a long section of plank road built on cliffs. Only two or three people can pass side by side in narrow places. If there is a group of strong soldiers guarding the exit of the plank road, it is really "one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it". No amount of scouting will help.

I can't make it through at all, how can I catch up?

Gao Kan said in a deep voice: "The thieves came prepared. Although they almost entered our trap, they must have a safe evacuation strategy. They will definitely leave people on Meridian Road to guard the exit of the plank road."

There is no fluke in this kind of thing, since the few of them wanted it all of a sudden, and they came here premeditated, how could they not see this opportunity to cut off the chasing soldiers and scouts?

There is no doubt that tomorrow morning, all armies will be fully staffed, and no flaws will be exposed...

Princess Changle Liu raised her eyebrows and asked: "Then this matter is left alone?"

Although she did not want Fang Jun to take risks and have a large-scale conflict with the thief, but the thief came so rampantly, but he was still able to retreat afterwards, and she didn't even know what the thief looked like. Would he still do such an assassination?

Fang Jun also had a big headache: "It's my minister who was a little negligent. I didn't expect them to dare to cross Meridian Road on a rainy night."

He was naturally more worried.

If the thieves mobilized ordinary dead men to come, he would not be so worried.Raising and training the dead at home is the consistent way of the Guanlong nobles, it can even be called a tradition, and it has been passed down for more than a hundred years. Some dead men, in order to do those shady activities.

But the elite of the dead men lies in their proficiency in the art of assassination and poisoning. They often choose and devour people like poisonous snakes in the dark, hit them with one blow, and flee thousands of miles away.

Once the opponent has good defense skills and tight guards, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of, the role of the dead warrior will not be great.

The military, however, is different.

Orders and restrictions are strictly enforced in the army, and the formation is strictly prohibited. If a strong attack is launched, the power of a group of fierce soldiers can rival the dead soldiers several times their own.

So no matter how many dead soldiers Fang Jun is not afraid of, but the other party can mobilize an army at will to kill him at any time, but it is like a tarsal maggot, making him terrified and unable to sleep at night.

If you are not careful, you will be completely crushed...

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if you want people to know, you have to do nothing. Since the thief is a soldier, there must be traces to follow when he is ordered to be transferred."

Fang Jun was worried in his heart, but his face was calm, and he said slowly: "Even if you don't know which army this army belongs to, but the mastermind behind the scenes is there and can't escape."

Princess Changle was startled and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Fang Jun said with a smile: "I can't just mobilize soldiers to kill me with open fire, and I should act as if nothing happened, right? Since he is in the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteen!"

Princess Changle couldn't help but wondered: "The main messenger is naturally Duke Zhao...but Duke Zhao has already handed over his military power for more than ten years now, and he doesn't have a single soldier or general under him. Even if you come to question him, he will naturally be able to push him away. , what can you do?"

This is the brilliance of Changsun Wuji. In order to prevent His Majesty Li Er's suspicion, he handed over his military power as early as the early years of Zhenguan, and only talked about government affairs, not military affairs.

Now even if you know that Changsun Wuji dispatched troops to besiege and kill Fang Jun, but he just said "I haven't been in charge of the army for many years" and pushed it clean, what can you do to him?

But Fang Jun laughed and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing? His Zhao Guogong's mansion does not have an army, but there are always dead soldiers, right?"

When Princess Changle was puzzled, Fang Jun had already turned his head and told Gao Kan: "Go to the prison of the Ministry of War to raise a prisoner on death row, and do everything well so that no one can find out. It's useful for someone."

"Here!"

Gao Kan quickly responded without asking any more questions.

Fang Jun didn't even avoid the soldiers and scouts on the side. He had sufficient confidence in the entire Right Tunwei.

Of course, knowing some inside information properly is also a means of cultivating confidantes...

Princess Changle was taken aback, and said angrily, "Don't be foolish! In the worst case, I'll go to my father and ask him to beat Zhao Guogong a little bit more, so that he won't throw a rat. But if you act recklessly, if you can't end it, then But it's a big mess!"

She knew Fang Jun's temperament too well.

The outside world says that he is a stick, but in fact this person often makes plans before acting, and refuses to give anyone the slightest real clue; however, when outsiders think he is a calm and strategic person, he often does things very crazy...

****

At dawn, the light rain continued all night, although there was no sign of increasing, but the clouds in the sky were still thick, showing no sign of stopping.

Inside the Dragon Hall, His Majesty Li Er looked out of the window, feeling very depressed and anxious.

Generally speaking, the time of offering sacrifices to heaven is strictly controlled, usually seven quarters before sunrise.However, due to the unpredictable weather, in order to prevent the multi-day sacrifice ceremony from being unable to proceed due to extreme weather such as rain, snow, and strong winds, a few more hours will be set for accommodation.

But at the latest, it should not exceed noon, otherwise it will be regarded as an ominous event, and the ceremony can only be canceled and held on another day.

If it was held on the usual winter solstice day, it would be a big deal to postpone it, or even cancel the grand ceremony of that year.

After all, it happens every year, and it’s nothing unusual. As long as the imperial power is stable, it’s fine to let those Confucianists and Taoists gossip about "communion between heaven and man", and there will be no loss of meat...

But today's grand ceremony must not be cancelled.

Today's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is to declare to the heavens as the "Son of Heaven". The emperor leads his people to march in person, hoping to obtain the blessing of the Haotian God, so that the victory can be achieved immediately.If this event had to be postponed or canceled due to the weather, what would the world think?

Soldiers, the great event of the country, the place of life and death.Even the heavens forbid brazenly launching wars, causing people to die. If the emperor insists on going his own way, he will be stupid and cruel.

That is absolutely impossible!

Not to mention that His Majesty Li Er's ambition is so high that he vowed to flatten Goguryeo and create an unprecedented foundation, surpassing Qin Huang and Han Wu to achieve the eternal hegemony of one emperor. Can it be withdrawn?

Even if Emperor Haotian personally came to His Majesty Li Er at this moment and told him that the Eastern Expedition could not be fought, he still had to bite the bullet and fight on.

Otherwise, all kinds of hidden conflicts in the country would erupt in an instant, and of course it would not endanger his emperor's rule, but the prosperous scene created by Zhenguan's painstaking efforts and devotion over the past ten years would probably be destroyed overnight.

His Majesty Li Er will never allow such a situation to happen!

He turned his head, looked at Wang De, the chief servant standing behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Where's Li Chunfeng? The Taishi Bureau speculated that today's Si time is an auspicious time, but now Mao time is almost past, and the rain still doesn't stop. Is it his so-called auspicious time? Quickly call him to see me, I want his explanation!"

"Here!"

Naturally, Wang De knew how important it would be if the rain continued, so he quickly bowed and pushed out of the hall, wanting to trot to the Taishi Bureau to find Li Chunfeng to come and see him.

I didn't want to see Li Junxian, who was soaked by rain, unable to come as soon as he left the palace gate, so he asked from a distance, "Is your majesty in the palace?"

Wang De hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is here, General Li just invites you to go, this old servant has important matters to attend to."

Although he knew that something important must have happened for Li Junxian to enter the palace to meet His Majesty in such an urgent manner, but he also had a task on his shoulders, so he dared not delay, resisting his curiosity, and strode towards the Taishi Bureau.

Li Junxian didn't know why Wang De was in a hurry, and he didn't lead him into the hall, so he had to enter the hall by himself. Seeing His Majesty Li Er was looking out from the window with his hands behind his back, he hurried forward and saluted: "The final general will see your majesty." ! Your Majesty, Yue Guogong supervised the layout of the circular mound outside the city yesterday, and then went to Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple with His Highness Changle, and did not return all night..."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then a pair of eyebrows "swish" stood up!
