Suzong of the Tang Dynasty... an imperial title that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Shimin.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that this seemed to be the one who founded the Martial Arts Temple...

However, Li Shimin looked calm and coughed slightly:

I don't know what Marquis Wu thought when he saw this.

Naturally, Li Shimin didn't believe in Fang Guan's ability.

Li Shimin had a simple and crude set of criteria for judging Xuanzong's court:

The closer a minister is to Xuanzong, the greater the probability that he is a scheming figure.

Famous generals come from border towns, and loyal and good ministers are in Changshan, Pingyuan County, Hedong, and Luoyang, but there is no such thing as Chang'an.

Therefore, Fang Guan's ability really needs to be questioned.

Incompetent people can only win the laughter of Lord Wu.

Fang Xuanling felt that Zhuge Wuhou was probably just helpless, but he was a little unconfident about this rightful owner:

This Fang Guan's surname is also Fang, he can't...

Du Ruhui joked about himself and comforted:

Brother Xuanling, why worry? As long as our children and grandchildren don't rebel, they will have their wealth and leisure.

The truth is this, Fang Xuanling can only let it go.

And even if Fang Guan is his descendant, it is much better than any royal tradition or Li family drama, right?

Although this idea was a bit disrespectful, Fang Xuanling found that her mentality was much calmer.

Everyone nodded at Du Ruhui's sigh. With Du Ruhui's son rebelling after his early death, everyone's standards for their sons were already very low.

After Hou Junji realized how lucky he was, he became more respectful and humbly asked Li Jing for his opinion on this battle situation.

Chang'an must be defeated, but how to defeat it is a problem.

Li Jing believed that Cui Qianyou's style of play could be replicated in the Guanzhong Plain. After all, Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The rebels captured Chang'an and Dingran felt arrogant. He pretended to be defeated and lured the rebels. The border troops surrounded him and forced him to abandon the city. It should be a good strategy.

Hou Junji agreed, but then asked a question: Who will do it?

After killing three generals in a row, who else can lead the army? Who dares to lead the army?

[Fang Guan is the dark history that Suzong did not want to recall.

Suzong, who ascended the throne in Lingwu, quickly built up a fortune. Reinforcements from Hexi, Longyou, and Anxi arrived, with nearly 60,000 combatable troops.

How to use this hard-earned wealth to gain prestige became Suzong's top priority.

Fang Guan fascinated Suzong with his outstanding eloquence. Not only did he give Fang Guan deliberate preferential treatment, but he also required Fang Guan to participate in decision-making on important military matters.

So Fang Guan's short, legendary, and absurd months began.

Fang Guan’s promotion route is as follows:

June's registered residence in Chang'an is unknown.

In July, he pursued Xuanzong officials to the prime minister.

In August, he convinced Suzong with his eloquence and his position became more and more stable.

In September, he was assigned by Xuanzong to conquer Xijing and defend Putong.

In October, he invited the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses to lead his troops to recapture the two capitals. Suzong agreed and awarded him a festival.

It only took Fang Guan four months to go from a leisurely minister to being the governor of two towns and the marshal of the world's troops.

Moreover, Suzong also granted Fang Guan the right to open the shogunate. Deng Jingshan, Song Ruosi, Jia Zhi, Liu Zhi and other people who had never fought in the war entered Fang Guan's shogunate.

At that time, someone advised Fang Guan: The rebels had elites who fell into the river, so they should not be careless.

Fang Guanrui commented: Although there are many people dragging down the river, can they be like me, Liu Zhi? 】

This Li Heng deserves to be the son of Xuanzong.

Zhang Fei thought that with the new emperor, he should calm down a little.

But unfortunately not.

Liu Bei was a little unsure:

This Tang Dynasty official prime minister, so casual?

Don't look at achievements or abilities. In Xuanzong's case, it was because of the pursuit of the Holy Master, while in Suzong's case, it was because of eloquence.

This reminded Liu Bei of a person:

The favor of that generation will be envied by Zhao Kuo even after he is resurrected.

Zhao Kuo was promoted exceptionally because, in addition to his eloquence, he also benefited from the favor of his father, Zhao She, a famous general.

And what does this Fangguan have? It all depends on one mouth.

Then Liu Bei turned to his military advisor and smiled:

In comparison, I treated Kong Ming very poorly.

It was just a joke, Kong Ming also laughed and responded:

If my lord already has 60,000 elite soldiers when I come out of the mountain, why worry about destroying the thieves?

Fa Zheng looked at the harmony between his lord and Kong Ming and was very envious.

But more importantly, he was convinced by Zhuge Liang, and he said at this time:

When Kongming came out of the mountain, his strategy of Longzhong Dui was famous all over the world.

This Fang Guan only knows vulgar language, how can he compare to Kong Ming?

The literal translation of Fang Guan's words is: Is Yiluohe a Qiu?

There is no strategy and no way to deal with it.

He is called the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, but he speaks like an idle man in the city.

People like this still falsely call themselves Zhuge?

He was not so crazy when no one in Yizhou was convinced.

[The battle of Chen Taoxie kicked off with this ridiculous prelude.

Fang Guan led 50,000 elite troops into three groups and sent them to Chang'an!

Li Guangjin led the Northern Army from Fengtian, and Fang Guan and Liu Guizhe led the Chinese Army from Wugong.

The two armies totaled 40,000 people as the vanguard, and another 10,000 Southern troops, led by Yang Xiwen, set out from Yishou.

The rebels were facing An Shouzhong, one of the four fierce generals under An Lushan's tent, with only 10,000 men.

The two sides met Chen Taoxie.

There is no detailed record in the history books, but An Shouzhong must have been dumbfounded when he saw Tang Jun.

No one can imagine that Fang Guan is still a retro styler.

With Li Heng's support, Fang Guan built a military chariot according to the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period as the trump card of the Tang army.

Using a chariot pulled by two thousand oxen to charge directly into the enemy's formation, and then covering the enemy with infantry and cavalry, wouldn't it be easy to capture them?

This is Fang Guan's genius idea.

What was counterproductive was that An Shouzhong did not stand there obediently and was charged by Lao Niu.

He ordered his soldiers to hit their shields with their swords and make loud noises to intimidate the bullock carts into slowing down.

Then he ordered Qingqi to approach and throw torches into the oxcart formation. For a moment, the oxcart formation was in chaos, and the panicked cattle began to charge the Tang army and trample on each other.

An Shouzhong seized the opportunity and led his army to charge, and it took only half a day to completely defeat the 40,000 Tang army.

The Southern Army, which acted as a support, entered the battlefield one day later. At this time, An Shouzhong, who was fighting with a great victory, found it difficult for the Tang Army to fight back.

Yang Xiwen, the coach of the Southern Army, was more straightforward and surrendered immediately when he saw that he could not defeat them.

At this point, Fang Guan's battle directly destroyed Li Heng's patchwork family fortune, causing Li Heng to have to turn to Huihe for help in order to quell the rebellion.

Chen Taoxie, also known as Chen Tao, was also captured by the rebels when Du Fu passed by and planned to defect to Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, Du Fu wrote Sorrow for Chen Tao lamenting this battle:

The son of a good family in Mengdong's ten counties, his blood was made into Chen Tao Ze's water.

There was no sound of fighting in the wilderness, and 40,000 rebels died on the same day. 】

The son of a good family in the ten counties of Mengdong... Du Ruhui felt that the pen in his hand was so heavy.

He once thought that the Tang Dynasty, which had been at its peak for a hundred years, would collapse violently.

But I didn't expect that the emperor was fatuous, treacherous and corrupt, and the traitors were greedy.

But at this time, the last bit of wealth in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was made up for by a person who only knew how to talk.

There are 130,000 elite border guards in the three towns of Longyou and Anxi in Hexi Province. They were supposed to intimidate hundreds of countries and the Tang warriors who ran rampant on the border.

They were completely destroyed by Tongguan's forced order and Chen Taoxie's retro tactics.

They should be the most elite soldiers and horses guarding the three towns on the border, but they died without dignity.

How can a dead dog do anything important! Hou Junji couldn't help but express his feelings.

He has not forgotten that Anxi Jiedu Town is located in Gaochang, and whose contribution was it to destroy Gaochang?

Of course it was Hou Junji who relied on His Majesty’s foresight to decide to capture it!

In this way, Anxi was somewhat related to him. But in the end, it could be used as a powerful bridgehead in attacking Central Asia, but it was just gone?

The ministers were excited, but Li Shimin seemed to be too calm in comparison.

Incompetent person!

This is Li Shimin’s evaluation.

Wei Zheng followed suit and said:

Isn't it enough to accomplish anything? If he still knows himself, he should hang himself to save face!

Li Shimin looked over and said quietly:

I'm talking about Suzong.

Wei Zheng was speechless.

Then Li Shimin turned his head and looked forward:

This Su Zong is also a man of great ambition and talent, but he feels sympathy for Fang Guan.

Wei Zheng didn't dare to say anything for the time being, although he felt in his heart that what His Majesty said was indeed correct.

Moreover, Li Shimin’s thinking is even more lofty:

Once these soldiers and horses are gone, Suzong will no longer have any support, but only the Tang Dynasty Town will remain...

The Hedong troops led by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi?

Then it dawned on him:

No wonder Suzong wants to take help from Uihe.

Can……

Li Shimin paced back and forth and tapped his head:

But why did Huihe help Suzong instead of helping Anlushan?

Are you holding the emperor hostage to command the world?

Du Ruhui couldn't stand the increasingly terrifying speculation and said:

Perhaps Huihe also thinks of the power of the Tang Dynasty...

Li Shimin smiled:

Ke Ming, this generation is afraid of the military power of the Tang Dynasty.

It is difficult to cherish the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin saw this truth very clearly in Jieli Khan and in all his defeated opponents in the past.

This Du Gongbu is really ill-fated...

Kong Ming was worried about his friend.

Hmm... He looked at Du Gongbu hundreds of years later through the light curtain.

Hundreds of years later, Du Fu visited the historic sites in Chengdu to pay homage to him.

It's a pity that we can't meet each other.

Liu Bei also resonated with this poet.

And having a heart that cares about the country and its people is a thousand times better than this Fang Guan.

Being in a high position in the Ministry of Industry and being able to understand the sufferings of the people's livelihood, this is what Liu Bei admires the most.

As for Fang Guan, Xu Shu felt really ignorant.

It's all because of the people who are looking for swords at this moment, but the rebels have gained a false reputation!

He did not feel envious of Fang Guan's rapid promotion. He only felt that this was another disaster for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Yun calculated from the side:

After this battle, the strength of the Tang Dynasty's official army was similar to that of the rebels, but slightly smaller.

Moreover, if the rebels occupy the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, they must be rescued by the Tang Dynasty's army. The rebel army and army will have an easy offensive and defensive situation.

Moreover, the casual mention of the light curtain made Zhao Yun feel familiar?

Unable to quell the rebellion, the Hu people asked for help. If the Hu people won, they would not be able to lose their tail. If the Hu people lost, they would definitely vent their anger on Su Zong.

The Anshi Rebellion is becoming more and more confusing.

This Tang Dynasty made Zhao Yun feel like he was dead no matter how he looked at it.

How can the country last another hundred years?
