Chapter 77: The Eight Clans of the Party

Chapter 77 Dang Xiang Bashi

After four days, the army finally came to the outside of Songzhou City, Li Ji did not enter the city, but directly let the army set up a large camp on the bank of the Bailing River west of Songzhou.

In the military tent, all the generals and officials gathered, Li Ji spread out the map and frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Everyone, now that the Tubo people have gathered a large army in the area of Duomi and Shishan, everyone should tell me how this battle should be fought?" ”

All the generals in the tent were frowning and thinking hard, although Fang Yiai had some ideas, but after all, his position was too low, and he didn't speak first, not to mention that he was still Zuo Wuwei's person. After taking the opportunity for a while, he saw Liu Huai'an, the general of the Right Weiwei Zhonglang, and said: "Commander, the last general thinks that it is better to do a good job of defense now, after all, the army is running for a long time, and the men and horses are tired, so it is really unwise to start a war at this time!" ”

"Marshal, what General Liu said is very true!" Su Dingfang and the others also agreed.

Li Jing nodded and smiled, but he didn't say what he wanted to say, so he didn't ask more, just glanced at the generals in the tent and said with a smile: "Everyone, go back and arrange the soldiers, and then pour the marshal into the tent when it falls, let's go to Xiaojinchuan tonight, so that those party members can see the majesty of my Tang soldiers." Well, okay, let's disperse, Fang Jun stays! ”

Su Dingfang and the others bowed to Li Ji, "Dashuai, the last general will retire!" ”

After waiting for only Fang Yiai and Li Ji to be left in the tent, Li Ji also put down the shelf, bypassed the table, patted Fang Yiai's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Jun'er, but what do you think?" ”

"Dashuai, I have some thoughts when I left love, General Liu said it was good just now, and now the army is still based on safety, but I think this may be an opportunity, even we ourselves think that this is not a good time to go to war, let alone the Tubo people. Therefore, I thought that at this time, when an elite army was sent to carry out a surprise attack on the Tibetan camp, this may not cause much damage to the Tubo people, but it can have the effect of inspiring the army! ”

Fang Yiai felt that this should not be an uncommon art of war, and the dangerous moves and surprises of soldiers were actually the most basic elements of a general. Sure enough, after Fang Yiai finished speaking, Li Ji stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Jun'er, what you said is good, I also have this idea, but not now!" ”

"Not now? When was that? Fang Yiai was very puzzled, didn't Li Ji always advocate the speed of soldiers.

"Hehe, of course it's after meeting the party members!"

After Li Ji finished speaking, he walked out of the big tent to inspect the camp, leaving only Fang Yiai alone in the tent to ponder, after thinking for a while, Fang Yiai knew why Li Ji used soldiers when he saw the party members. Although the party item eight clans have nominally been subordinated to the Tang Dynasty, in fact, they are completely obedient to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and the party item is still the original party item, just like a kingdom of reading. You must know that if the Tubo people want to reach Songzhou, they must go through the big Jinchuan and Xiaojinchuan controlled by the party, so the party must bear a certain amount of responsibility for this matter, but now the top priority is to solve the troubles of Tubo first, and it is not the time for a showdown with the party. Li Ji also wanted to take this opportunity to shake the unstable leaders in the party tribe and tell them that the Tang Dynasty was still something they couldn't afford to provoke, and it was best to put away the kind of thinking of sitting on the mountain and watching the fire.

Fang Yiai had to admire Li Ji's old spiciness, although he also thought of raiding the Tubo camp, but he really didn't expect so much, Li Ji's hand can really be described as killing three birds with one stone, hitting Tubo, inspiring the army's morale, and deterring the party. No wonder he hasn't seen Zuo Weiwei's Yin Wenzhong until now, I'm afraid that as soon as he arrived in Songzhou, he would have been sent out to carry out the raid plan.

The army is stationed outside the city, the Governor of Songzhou and the Assassin of Songzhou, the two local bigwigs, must come to visit, Songzhou Governor Deng Wang Li Yuanshu is a good man, that is, in his thirties, but he cowered like an old man, although King Deng is a prince, but he does not dare to have half a point of disrespect in the face of Li Ji. Fang Yiai looked at Li Yuanshu, who was standing respectfully in front of Li Ji, and felt very uncomfortable, he was also a prince, why was the gap so big, but this also complained that Li Yuanshu had no ambition, who made him embarrassed, to be honest, Li Yuanshu, the governor of Songzhou, was not as valuable as him as a lieutenant of Zuo Wuwei Guoyi.

In addition to Li Yuanshu, it was Ren Chengfang who caught his attention, to be honest, this Ren Chengfang is much more elegant than Li Yuanshu, although he is in his forties, but the whole person seems to be particularly energetic, a short beard, a thin figure, and solemn eyes, everything shows that this person is a cadre who can do things.

"King Deng, Ren Assassin Shi, thank you for your kindness, but the general's duty is not to go to the Governor's Mansion, it is more appropriate for the general to stay in this barracks!" In the face of Li Yuanshu's invitation, Li Ji will definitely not agree, now that the army has just arrived, how can he, the commander, leave the army behind and go to Songzhou City to enjoy it.

"Since the marshal said so, then the king won't say much, after the victory of Deng Dajun's victory, the king will prepare another screening banquet, and then please ask the marshal and the generals not to resign!" Li Yuanshu saw that Li Ji did not agree, and he did not dare to force it, so he could only retreat and seek the next way.

"Hehe, King Deng, please rest assured, Ben will definitely go to the banquet then!" Li Ji replied politely, and then smiled at Ren Chengfang next to him: "Ren Tingshi, the transfer of materials for the army in the future will depend on you." ”

"Don't worry, the lower officials will do their best, even if they don't eat or sleep, the lower officials will ensure the supplies of the army!" Ren Chengfang said very respectfully, and his tone was also very confident, Li Ji was also very satisfied with this Ren Chengfang, and hoped that this Ren Chengfang could do a good job.

"By the way, King Deng, Ben will take someone to Malkang Dazhai tonight, I wonder if King Deng and Ren Tingshi can accompany Ben Jiang on a trip?" It is not surprising that Li Ji has this request, most of the army must have come from Chang'an, and these generals do not know much about party affairs. So letting Li Yuanshu and Ren Chengfang follow is the best way.

"Hehe, this king also has this intention, to be honest, this king has been in Songzhou for so long, and he hasn't been to Malkang yet!"

Li Yuanshu is very refreshing, which also makes Fang Yuanyi both admirable and strange, this Li Yuanshu is too low-key, he has never been to Malkang, and Fang Yuanyi doesn't know whether what Li Yuanshu said is true or false.

"Marshal, there are many people in the army this time, and there are not enough military doctors, I wonder if I can recruit some from the people?" Fang Yiai suddenly thought of something, now it is about to enter winter, coupled with the unique climate of the plateau, I am afraid that these Tang soldiers who are used to fighting on the plains will definitely fall ill at that time, so it is better to prepare in advance, although he has brought a lot of high drunkenness this time, but this can only achieve the effect of cold and disinfection, and the others are of little use.

"Oh, this little general, this is easy to say, you can go directly to the Jimin Hall, there are many apprentices in the Jimin Hall, and they can act as temporary healers!" After listening to Fang Yiai's words, Ren Chengfang smiled and smiled.

Fang Yiai slapped his forehead and looked suddenly realized, why did he forget about Jimintang, but then his brows were tightly wrinkled, and others didn't know what was wrong with Fang Yiai, wasn't he quite happy just now, why is he worried now, but Li Yuanshu came over and said with a smile: "Little general, but I don't know how to go to Jimintang, don't worry, Jimintang is very recognizable on Nanshi Street, enter the city gate and walk a hundred steps to arrive, don't even have to turn around!" ”

"Oh, that's such a good person, thank you King Deng for your advice!" Fang Yiai thanked him very gratefully.

After waiting for a while, Fang Yiai pulled Li Ji into a corner and whispered something, after listening to what Fang Yiai said, Li Ji was immediately taken aback, and asked in a low voice: "Fang Jun, is this true?" ”

"Dashuai, whether it's true or not, I don't know, but I think there must be a demon when things go wrong, so it's better to be more prepared!"

Fang Yiai will not pack tickets when he is not sure, it is not smart to do that, but stupid. Li Ji looked at Fang Ai's serious face, and he didn't die and fake, so he thought for a while, nodded and said with an attitude that he would rather believe it or not: "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you, remember to act in secret, and never let people find out, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I'm free!" Seeing that Li Ji agreed, Fang Yiai also relieved his heart.

Others didn't know what Li Ji and Fang Yiai had been talking about for a long time, but anyway, they left after talking.

After coming to Zuo Wuwei's station, Fang Yiai immediately called Qin Hu over, and after Fang Yiai whispered instructions to Qin Hu, he returned to Li Ji's big tent, as for other things, Qin Hu would arrange it.

Xiaojinchuan is really close to Songzhou, and it has already arrived after an hour of horseback riding, looking at the big village in the mountain col, there are party youths everywhere who do not leave their bows. Fang Yi's love is full of shock, no wonder the party members have always been so good at fighting. This party was born, in order to survive constantly challenging the mountains, how can it not be skillful, no wonder Li Yuanhao in later generations can establish Western Xia, there are these party items who can fight well, plus the mysterious snow mountain tribe, the party people can pull up an army of tens of thousands of people at any time, no wonder Li Ji doesn't want to turn his face with the party members at this time.

Dang Xiang Eight Clans, Xi Feng Clan, Fei Ting Clan, Xiang Li Clan, Po Chao Clan, Ye Li Clan, Fang Dang Clan, Mi Bao Clan, Tuoba Clan, among which this Malkang is the Dazhai of Tuoba Clan. The Tuoba clan is the undisputed clan in the party, but Fang Yiai is not too interested in this Tuoba clan, what he wants to know is what is going on with the mysterious Snow Mountain tribe.
