Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3550 Trust
Yu Wenshi believes that Fang Jun is a real "national scholar" who cares about the world and the country and the people. How can he willingly abandon the vast Western Regions in order to help the prince?The importance of the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty need not be repeated. If it falls today, it will take hundreds of times and thousands of efforts to regain it tomorrow. The Han family will sacrifice tens of thousands for this. How could Fang Jun do that?
So he never believed that Fang Jun would lead troops to help Chang'an.

Although Dugu Lan has a lot of contact with Fang Jun, the two parties are by no means harmonious, and most of Fang Jun's impressions remain as unruly and cunning, but he knows little about his principles of life.

At this moment, seeing Yuwen Shiji's evaluation was so high, and he was very sure, Dugu Lan frowned, and said slowly: "What if?"

Yuwen Shiji was silent again.

Yes, what if?
Even though he knew Fang Jun very well, it was just his guess. Whether he would return to aid Chang'an from the Western Regions was only a matter of Fang Jun's whim, and whether he would return or not was related to the life and future of the entire Guanlong Clan.Once Fang Jun returns to aid, the tens of thousands of elite fighters under his command will threaten Chang'an, which will make the current situation suddenly reverse, and the Guanlongmen Clan cannot bear the consequences of the failure of the remonstrance.

He was a little annoyed in his heart, although he was not in the nature of complaining, but he couldn't help complaining at this moment: "Changsun Wuji is self-willed, and tied all the Guanlong families to his chariot with his own strength, let me Waiting to spend his wealth and life to pave the way for him to regain the power of Zaifu, it is really abominable!"

Although the Guanlongmen faction supported Changsun Wuji's remonstrance this time, they were more helpless because Changsun Wuji planned everything in secret, and did not give each family a chance to refuse.For this reason, he even did not hesitate to push Changsun Chong and Hou Mo Chen Qianhui to the foreground to attract the attention of the East Palace, while he himself kept Chen Cang in secret.

Up to now, even though Changsun Chong and Hou Mo Chenqian have all fallen into the hands of the East Palace, their lives and deaths are unknown, and each family has put their family assets into it, but they have come to a stalemate.

A stalemate means failure at any time, whether it is the Eastern Expeditionary Army returning to Chang'an, or the elite Western Expedition under Fang Jun's command, when any army arrives at the city of Chang'an, Guan Long will be completely defeated.

Dugu Lan sighed and said: "This is the end of the matter, what's the use of complaining? Of course we are dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji's remonstrance, but we can get to the bottom of it. It's not because we are lucky that we have come to this point ?”

The Guanlong families did have objections to Changsun Wuji's sudden uprising, and they were full of complaints because of Changsun Wuji's arbitrariness and arbitrariness, but after all, no one stood up and expressed their opposition clearly.Even Dugu Lan only refused to allow the Guanlong army to enter the city gate guarded by his own family, but he still hoped that the remonstrance would be successful and the court would return to the grand situation in the early years of Zhenguan when the Guanlong Clan dominated the power.

To put it bluntly, everyone's wish is more that although they are dissatisfied, they will not object and will not be responsible...

But even a family like the Dugu family who did not directly participate in the military remonstrance, once the military remonstrance fails, how can they survive alone?
Guan Long is connected with each other and has deep entanglements, but not everyone can retreat if they want to.

It's just that when the East Palace is liquidated, there will be some emphasis. The eldest grandson's family will naturally bear the brunt, and the Dugu family will be less involved. It is absolutely impossible to stay out of the matter...

Yuwen Shiji couldn't calm down.

According to various analysis, Fang Jun is Guan Long's confidant, but at this time, there are troops from the Western Regions rushing to Mobei via Hexi at this time. This is really too coincidental!
If Fang Jun really led his troops into Guanzhong, with his invincible tiger and wolf division, Guan Long might have to take his life to resist...

*****
Outside Xuanwu Gate, Youtunwei Camp.

The snow was a little weaker. After successively defeating the offensives of Zuo Tunwei and Guanlong rebels, it was rare to usher in a peaceful rest. The soldiers in the camp happily swept the snow. The atmosphere is quite different from that of a wealthy mansion.

Princess Gao Yang stood in front of the window, looking at the busy soldiers outside with great interest, Jin Shengman was beside her a little behind, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder and head to head, their eyes sparkling in the same way.Both of them have active temperaments, they can't go anywhere in the camp, and they are already a little impatient...

Behind him, Wu Meiniang sits quietly and happily playing chess with Kinderman, with two cups of tea and a stick of incense, as if the outside world's swords and soldiers have already died down, quiet and peaceful.

After the door rang, Gao Kan, dressed in military uniform and armor, stepped inside, saluted all the nobles first, and then said: "I just received news from Hexi that there are more than ten thousand cavalry from the Western Regions sent by the commander-in-chief. , via Hexi to Mobei to put down Xue Yantuo's rebellion."

Princess Gao Yang's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "But Erlang is back?"

The other three girls were also full of expectation.

Gao Kan shook his head hurriedly, and said: "There is no news about the commander in chief. According to the news from the Anxi Dufu Mansion more than ten years ago, the commander-in-chief is still confronting the Dashi army in the area of ​​Gongyue City. The small-scale battles almost never stop every day. The two sides have victories and losses, and it stands to reason that it is difficult for the commander-in-chief to completely put aside the war in the Western Regions and bring troops back to Chang'an."

Princess Gao Yang stomped her feet and said angrily: "This stick is just a place in the bitter cold of the Western Regions. It doesn't matter if you lose it or not? It's the right way to lead the army back to Chang'an to defeat the rebels!"

Gao Kan was silent.

Almost all the generals who were born under Fang Jun did not have much loyalty to the emperor in their hearts. On the contrary, their loyalty to the country was unquestionable. These people all believed in the truth that "the interests of the empire are above everything else". In short, It is "It doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as the Tang Dynasty is prosperous"...

So for Princess Gao Yang's complaint, Gao Kan didn't take it seriously.

Of course, the East Palace is where the righteousness lies, and these soldiers should be blood-stained on the battlefield in order to maintain the country's orthodoxy.But if this righteousness conflicts with the territory of the empire, the latter will naturally prevail.

Nothing is more important than the territory of the empire and the dignity of the Tang Dynasty...

Wu Meiniang stopped the chess game, stepped forward and asked carefully: "What's going on?"

She is keenly aware that maybe things are not as simple as they seem. This is not only due to her innate insight, but also because of her understanding of Fang Jun's behavior style...

Gao Kan reported the news from all parties in detail, and his expression and attitude were even more respectful than when he faced Princess Gaoyang just now...

"It is said that Mobei Xue Yantuo wanted to rebel with the support of the Turks, and the Hanhai Protectorate was short of troops, so he sent people to ask for help from Chang'an and Anxi Protectorate. Chang'an just received the news, and the Anxi Protectorate was probably We couldn't mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals, so we sent cavalry composed of Hu tribes from the Western Regions to Mobei..."

Listening to Gao Kan's narration, Wu Meiniang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and her thoughts changed.

Princess Gaoyang and the others were watching her from the sidelines. Everyone had long been convinced of this "female Zhuge". Not only did Fang Jun obey her, but even Fang Xuanling would ask her opinions on some difficult matters and attached great importance to them.

After a long time, Wu Meiniang parted her lips slightly in the anticipation eyes of everyone, and said slowly: "The news from the Western Regions is complicated and confusing. This is a bit abnormal, and it cannot be ruled out that the gentleman did it on purpose."

After saying that, she turned around and came to one side of the wall with a map of the Guanzhong area hanging on it. After observing it carefully, she pointed at the Zhongwei Bridge with her slender fingers, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Defeat Zuotun!" After the Wei Dynasty, the Zhongwei Bridge has been under our control, cutting off the Wei River from north to south, and Xuanwu Gate has become more secure. Please also ask General Gao to send an additional force to the Zhongwei Bridge. We must ensure that the Zhongwei Bridge is always under our control Next, the soldiers gather food, fodder and armaments."

Gao Kan looked at the map, frowned and said, "The final general will do it right away..."

After pondering for a while, meeting Wu Meiniang's gaze, he said: "...but please forgive me for talking too much, the situation in Chang'an is indeed critical, and there is a danger of overturning at every turn, but the commander-in-chief shoulders the safety of the Western Regions, and he will never abandon the Western Regions and let the big cannibals take care of him." Complete occupation and lead troops back to Chang'an. The interests of the empire are above all else, and any inch of territory is not allowed to be easily abandoned under any circumstances."

This is his trust in Fang Jun, and it is also his belief in following Fang Jun's willingness to die for him.

Although he was promoted from Fang Junjian, with the label of "Fang Jun's party" on his body, and he died for his confidant, but what made him willing to follow Fang Jun's original intention was still the recognition of his life philosophy.

He is sure that as long as the big cannibal is still in the Western Regions, no matter what earth-shaking changes happen in Chang'an, Fang Jun will ignore them and put the defense of the territory as the top priority.

Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly, her beautiful face was covered with flowers: "What if the Dashi army can no longer threaten the safety of the Western Regions?"
