Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3588

Chapter 3588 Detour

Fang Jun rode his horses galloping, and behind him tens of thousands of cavalrymen galloped like a long dragon along the north bank of the Weishui River toward Chang'an. Their iron hooves smashed the ice and snow on the ground, making a mighty and earth-shattering sound.

In the long snowstorm, only [-] miles away from Zhongwei Bridge, the scout in front had already returned.

"Shut up!"

Fang Jun reined in the reins, and the warhorse under his crotch stood up, and together with the hundreds of personal soldiers around him stopped in unison, listening to the scouts reporting the situation ahead.

"Master Qiqi!"

The scout jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "The clans in Hedong and Hexi have sent more soldiers to the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an, and the pressure on the sixth rate of the East Palace has increased sharply. Leaving, lest the Xuanwu Gate will be lost. The eldest grandson Heng'an led a [-]-strong army stationed in the south of the Wei River, and he has ordered the demolition of the Zhongwei Bridge."

Fang Jun frowned.

If it is only the power of Guanlong itself, he is not afraid at all, and these elites under his command can compete with the rabble in Shangguanlong!However, if even the gatekeepers in Hexi and Hedong stood on Guanlong's side to help each other, the situation would be very different.

Even if the army on the clan's side is full of pigs, it is enough to pull out an army of more than 20 people. If you kill them one by one, you will have to smash the blade...

The most important thing is that the significance of this move is even more extraordinary. It shows that half of the world's clans are already standing on Guanlong's side. Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry support the Donggong on the surface, but in fact they do not have any substantial help. Otherwise, you only need to. They mobilized the servants, merchants, and private soldiers of various families to approach Hedong. How dare those clans in Hedong and Hexi dare to unscrupulously mobilize troops into Guanzhong?

Gatekeepers are indeed the cancer of the country. If they cannot be cut off with one stroke, sooner or later they will become worms that eat the interests of the country and strengthen themselves...

More importantly, it was Li Ji, who was supported by a family in Shandong as a spokesperson.He led his army from the Western Regions all the way to the hurricane, raiding thousands of miles straight into the customs, but the eastward expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops still leisurely and leisurely delayed halfway.

The ghost knows what Li Ji is hiding...

After pondering for a moment, Fang Jun said solemnly: "Try to find a way to cross the Wei River and sneak into Chang'an City, and at the same time get in touch with General Gao Kan. This commander wants to know all the movements inside and outside Chang'an.

"Here!"

The scout took orders, got up and galloped away.

Fang Jun tightened his cloak, rode forward again, and drove all the way to the Zhongwei Bridge. He saw that the originally wide and sturdy wooden bridge had been demolished and only the remains of the beams and columns at the head of the bridge were left. On the south bank of the Wei River, A group of Guanlong troops in different costumes are facing the sky and the sun can't see the edge. They are facing off across the river with the Youtunwei, Anxi Army, and Tubo Huqi they have brought back.

The place where the bridge is built is naturally taken from the narrowest part of the riverbed, where the Weishui river is only about [-] meters long.

It's just that the two sides of the bridge demolition can't cross the river to engage in battle. They release bows and arrows across the river. Even if they can shoot and kill a few enemy troops, it doesn't make much sense...

Fang Jun rode on his horse and watched the rebel formation on the other side with cold eyes. The warhorse under his crotch snorted and scratched his hoofs, and kept flapping his tail, looking very irritable. This tense atmosphere made the animals feel nervous and excited.

After a long while, Fang Jun raised his arms high and said loudly, "Go north and head to Jingxian County!"

"Here!"

Tens of thousands of arrogant soldiers made a promise in unison, which was like thunder and majestic, which startled the Guanlong army on the other side.And then left one to continue to confront Guanlong rebels here, and the rest all followed Fang Junzhe and headed north, rushing towards Jingxian County not far away.

……

Fang Jun observed Guanlong's army on the north bank of the Weishui River, and saw that there were many generals in a wide array, but he did not know that Guanlong's army on the other side watched the tens of thousands of cavalry rushing all the way. cold!

Most of these cavalry were soldiers of the Youtun Guards. They followed Fang Jun's Zeng soldiers out of Baidao to defeat Xue Yantuo. After that, they fought all the way from Chang'an to the Western Regions, defeated the Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry, annihilated the Turkic and Dashi allied forces, and sent more than ten generals outside Gongyue City. The Wan Dashi army was completely defeated and captured countless numbers. The victories one after another have already created the temperament of a hero in a hundred battles. They are truly the strongest army in the world. He could still feel the murderous aura that was not afraid of death, which made Guan Long's army tremble with fear.

Such a strong army, how to fight against the enemy?

Yuwenjie was even more embarrassed by the Guanlong army. Back then, he and Fang Jun were close friends. At that time, Fang Jun was uneducated and reckless. To be the first of the "Four Harms in Chang'an"...

However, who would have thought that after all these years, the dude of those years had already grown into one of the mighty giants of the imperial military, with illustrious military exploits and countless arrogant soldiers under his command, sieging cities and looting lands and destroying human races and nations, and was invincible.

Today, he has become a key figure who can influence the direction of the imperial court...

The friendship of the past has long since faded away with the difference of positions, and in the blink of an eye, they parted ways.

However, before he could finish his emotion, he saw the cavalry on the other side galloping along the river bank for a while, then suddenly turned and headed north, Yuwenjie's complexion changed drastically.

As he guessed, the demolition of the Zhongwei Bridge by the eldest grandson Heng'an prevented Fang Jun from going to Chang'an, but it was impossible to stop Fang Jun's footsteps. It would even expose the Guanzhong area north of Chang'an to the iron hoofs of Fang Jun's troops. Under the circumstances, and Changan could not provide timely support.

In Jing County, there is the second largest Changping warehouse near Chang'an...

Yuwenjie did not dare to neglect, and said to the eldest grandson Heng'an: "Fang Jun goes north, Xianyang, Jingyang, Sanyuan and other counties will all fall, especially Jingyang Changping warehouse has accumulated a lot of grain. The disaster is even worse. I will return to Chang'an to ask Zhao Guogong for instructions, and beg to send troops to reinforce the northern counties, and I will ask the county lord to take care of him here."

The eldest grandson Heng'an glanced at Yuwenjie and waved his hand casually: "Yuwen Zuocheng will go by himself, there is an old man in charge here, it must be foolproof."

"..."

Yuwenjie is speechless. Your veteran Zhongwei Bridge has been demolished. Unless the rebels fly over the Wei River, you will be absolutely safe...

He was too lazy to talk to the eldest grandson Heng'an, and as soon as he surrendered, he left the army with his personal troops, detoured Longshouyuan and ran back to Chang'an.

……

Hearing that Changsun Heng'an had demolished the Zhongwei Bridge in order to block Fang Jun, Changsun Wuji was speechless for a while.His consanguinity brother does not have any military talent, and his strength lies in his calm temperament and stable work, but this is too safe. He simply demolished the Zhongwei Bridge, which resulted in Fang Jun not even having the opportunity to charge and fight, so he was naturally able to overfulfill the task. .

But in this way, all the counties in the north of Chang'an will be placed under Fang Jun's iron hoof, and they can cross the Jingshui and then cross the Weishui from the Dongwei Bridge to the south, and go straight to the Baqiao, advancing towards Chang'an.

In fact, it didn't have much influence on Fang Jun, it just shifted the pressure from the North City to the East City...

"Fang Jun led the army to attack thousands of miles, and he was bound to be light and simple, and there was a lack of food supplies. The Guanzhong area was controlled by various clans and lords. Although they could not resist Fang Jun's forces, they were all strong and clear, and Fang Jun was not allowed to seize too much food and food. .But Jingyang Changping warehouse has accumulated a lot of grain, once captured by it, the soldiers will have enough food, and the combat power will rise more than one step, which is very harmful."

Yuwenjie was very dissatisfied with what the eldest grandson Hengan did. Tens of thousands of troops mobilized by many clans were handed over to you. As a result, you dismantled the Zhongwei Bridge to avoid fighting, which directly led to the erosion of the area north of Chang'an...

The eldest grandson Wuji was also helpless, how did he know that his concubine elder brother actually played such a trick?

But the problem is that the task he explained is to stop Fang Junqiang from crossing the Wei River to reach Chang'an, and join forces with the half-branch Youtun Guards outside the Xuanwu Gate.

He had to say: "I will take my order later, and ordered Sun Heng'an to dispatch half of the army to station near Baqiao, and then send scouts to go north from Dongwei Bridge and arrive at Jingyang and Sanyuan to follow Fang Jun's movements."

Yuwenjie bowed to take orders, hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "Gao Kan's troops outside Xuanwu Gate are also tyrannical. If half of the troops are transferred to Baqiao, in case Gao Kan's troops launch a surprise attack and Fang Jun kills them. If one returns to the carbine, and the two sides should cooperate with each other, the county guild will be in danger."

Zhangsun Wuji pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said: "It's okay, not to mention that Gao Kan dare not leave Xuanwumen without permission, even if we really raided our army on the north bank of the Weishui River, we couldn't draw too many troops, so we should protect ourselves. Besides, the Zhongwei Bridge has been demolished, and Fang Jun is facing each other across the river, so he cannot be attacked by Gao Kan's troops from north to south."

Without the Zhongwei Bridge, Fang Jun could only detour around the Jingshui and Bashui to reach the Baqiao. How could he and Gao Kan's group attack the eldest Sun Heng'an?
