After thinking of this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated. The vertex update was the fastest, and he immediately found Tianda and Lin Lao, and roughly told them what he thought.

After hearing Lu Chen's ambition, the two of them were also shocked. They had always regarded Lu Chen as having been ordered by the imperial court to capture the city. However, just now Lu Chen actually told the two of them that they would establish a force that belonged to them in the distant East China Sea. This made the two of them a little unrelievable for a while.

However, immediately afterward, a glimmer of essence flashed in the eyes of the two. Although Lu Chen's words just now shocked them, after the shock, the two of them were very excited. After all, every subordinate wants his master to be ambitious, especially after having a certain amount of strength.

The reason why Tianda didn't think about this aspect before. It's just that they take Lu Chen for granted as an ordinary general of the Tang Dynasty. I never thought that Lu Chen would have such thoughts.

However, immediately after that, Lin Lao said with a puzzled face, "The general should know that now An Lushan's forces have controlled all the areas in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. If we take the city from him, we will probably anger him. In case the time comes, he will mobilize tens of thousands of troops to come and encircle and suppress us......."

Hearing Lin Lao's concern, Lu Chen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then interrupted, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Now An Lushan, the allied forces of Tubo and the Turks are confronting the main force of the Tang Dynasty. And it won't be long before they have a big battle. In this case, as long as we don't attack his major cities on a large scale, he probably won't have the energy to deal with us."

After hearing Lu Chen's words so confidently, Lin Lao's face became even more puzzled, and he asked very puzzled, "How does the general know that they will definitely have a decisive battle?" According to the old man's opinion, now the hussar general is guarding Tongguan, which is the wisest choice. And as long as the hussar general does not send troops, even if An Lushan and their tripartite alliance want to invade, it is almost impossible."

Hearing this Lin Lao's doubts, Lu Chen didn't explain the reason, but just smiled and said, "Intuition." After all, he only relied on the memories of his previous life, so this kind of thing naturally couldn't be explained to others.

Hearing that Lu Chen was just relying on intuition, Tianda and Lin Lao were slightly stunned. The young general in front of him, does he rely on Pu or not? Such a major decision was made by instinct!

However, they were only Lu Chen's subordinates, so no matter how unreliable they felt in their hearts, they did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on the surface.

At this time, he saw Lin Lao ask again, "General, if we go on an expedition to the coastal cities in the east, what should we do with these cities now?" He had just thought about it. He knew that Lu Chen's troops were not very large, and if he wanted to carve out a territory in the east, he had to take enough troops with him. As a result, the cities here are not guarded by soldiers.

After hearing Lin Lao's inquiry, he saw Lu Chen sigh lightly and said, "Although this Hezhou City is a strategic place, it is a chicken rib for us, after all, we also occupy the two cities of Hezhou and Minzhou around here. I never wanted to make this my base. Because not only will it be attacked by both the Tibetan and Tang dynasties, but the cities here are far less prosperous than other places."

After hearing Lu Chen's analysis, the two also nodded approvingly. As for the geographical location of these two cities, the two of them are naturally very clear. It's just that such a large city made them give up like this, and the two of them were a little reluctant for a while. Moreover, the two of them have been guarding this Hezhou City for many years.

Of course, the two also knew in their hearts that if they really wanted to develop, they had to choose a more prosperous area again.

Once they were in agreement, the next step was to make a detailed plan for the march.

Before leaving, Lu Chen emptied almost all the resources in the two cities. Of course, Lu Chen did not send soldiers to burn and loot in the city, he just sent soldiers to move all the shops and things in the city lord's mansion under his control to the holy city.

In the end, Lu Chen only left 8,000 soldiers in the Holy City, and the rest of the people all followed him, along the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, all the way south. This is mainly because the cities in the Central Plains have An Lushan's garrisons, and Lu Chen doesn't want to start a war with An Lushan now, after all, his troops are not as many as a fraction of others. If he rushes up to confront others now, it is not much different from looking for death.

A few days later, Lu Chen led a large army, starting from Hezhou City and heading south. He had to go to Luzhou City first and bring the troops there with him. Only when the forces of these two sides are combined will it be possible to capture those large cities.
