And An Lushan is also known as the 200,000 coalition troops, which also makes many forces dare not touch its edge. Fire? However, the text is ? ???．? After all, the Eastern Expeditionary Army and Lu Yi's army, which were now resisting An Lushan, had just 80,000 soldiers and horses. The difference in strength between the two sides is simply too great. Many people are not optimistic about the Tang army.

What's more, almost everyone can see that today's Tang Dynasty is no longer the prosperous Tang Dynasty it used to be. Not to mention that it is surrounded by strong enemies, even within the Tang Dynasty, the major forces are very divided and divided. It can be said that the current Datang is a dying tiger, with no tiger power and no matching power.

And things turned out as one expected. Since the Tibetan army invaded the interior of the Tang Dynasty, it has captured four or five large cities one after another, and soon opened the way to converge with the Turks.

Most of the Turkic armies were concentrated in the north at this time, and because of Lu Yi's resistance, they were unable to capture large cities in a short period of time. However, now that the Tibetan army and the Turks converged, the situation changed dramatically. Among them, the most passive is naturally Lu Yi.

Originally, he was going to resist the fierce attack of the Turks in the north, and in the east, he was to cooperate with the Eastern Expeditionary Army to stop An Lushan's westward advance.

However, now the Tubo army has captured Lanzhou, Yuanzhou and other places, which makes Lu Yi equivalent to being attacked on three sides!

However, after the armies of the two sides united, the coalition forces did not attack Lu Yi's side. After they joined up with the Turkic army, they attacked directly to the south, and the spearhead was directed at the city of Chang'an in the south.

At the same time, after learning that Lanzhou and Yuanzhou were lost, the civil and military officials in Chang'an City suddenly panicked. They knew that without the blockage of Yuanzhou, if the Tubo army wanted to invade Chang'an City, there was only one Tongguan left to defend. This also means that Chang'an City is now in danger.

After knowing how grim the current situation was, Tang Xuanzong immediately ordered the hussar general, who was guarding in the south, to lead the army and come to defend Chang'an!

It's a pity, after all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, even if the hussar general is on the road day and night. When he arrives here, I'm afraid it will be more than ten days. Such a long time was enough for the Tibetan army and the Turkic army to invade Chang'an City. As for Lu Yi, Tang Xuanzong couldn't recall him back to the capital, after all, he was now blocking the westward advance of An Lushan's army with the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Once he is summoned, I am afraid that it will not be long before An Lushan's army will attack the city of Chang'an.

In desperation, Tang Xuanzong could only find Yang Guozhong and ask him about the conscription, how is the progress now.

Hearing Tang Xuanzong's inquiry, he saw Yang Guozhong smile and said, "Report to Your Majesty, now Weichen has collected more than 30,000 elite soldiers." Although these people have not yet been trained, it should be enough to hold out until the hussar general arrives. ”

Hearing that 30,000 recruits had been recruited, Tang Xuanzong's heart was also slightly relaxed, he nodded and said, "I have worked hard for the prime minister, and I also ask the prime minister to hurry up and train these recruits roughly." After a few days, they will be assigned to the various gates of the city to prevent the enemy from attacking this side."

Hearing Tang Xuanzong's words, he saw Yang Guozhong suddenly arch his hand and said, "Your Majesty, if we don't send troops all the time." The local powers will think that we have no troops to use. When the time comes, those who have two hearts may rise up in rebellion. ”

After hearing Yang Guozhong's words, Tang Xuanzong thought about it and nodded in agreement, and said, "What the prime minister said is extremely true, so is there a solution for the prime minister?" Since Yang Guozhong said this, Tang Xuanzong believed that he must have a solution.

Sure enough, after hearing Tang Xuanzong's inquiry, Yang Guozhong replied with a smile, "Report to Your Majesty, Weichen has a way." We can send a general with an army of 10,000 to take the initiative and try to capture a few cities. This will deter the enemy and show them that we are not at the end of our rope. At the same time, it can also achieve the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that those local forces will not easily move."

After hearing Yang Guozhong's analysis, Tang Xuanzong immediately praised, "This is a good idea. It's just that, according to the Prime Minister's opinion, which general should we send to attack the enemy outside? Tang Xuanzong knew in his heart that in today's situation, no matter who went out, he would take a very big risk. However, they could not just send a general out of the city.

If you send a general who is not strong, before you can capture the city occupied by the enemy, I am afraid that the army will have been wiped out by the enemy. Not only will this not be able to deter others, but it may even lose 10,000 soldiers and horses.

And after hearing Tang Xuanzong's doubts, he saw Yang Guozhong and immediately said, "If Your Majesty has no candidate, Weichen has someone to recommend."

"Oh? Who is it? Could it be that there are still famous generals in our Chang'an City? Seeing Yang Guozhong's appearance, Tang Xuanzong suddenly asked with some curiosity. At the same time, he thought about all the generals in Chang'an City in his heart, but he didn't find a suitable candidate for this task at all.

Seeing Tang Xuanzong's puzzled look, Yang Guozhong said unhurriedly, "Weichen thinks that General Lu Chen, the son of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, can take on this important task. Your Majesty, don't look at General Lu Chen's young age, but according to Weichen's knowledge, he has already gone through battles such as the Minzhou Battle and the Yizhou War. And in these battles, General Lu Chen defeated the enemy army with strange moves! It can be said that now he is the only candidate suitable for this position in Chang'an City! ”

After hearing Yang Guozhong's words, Tang Xuanzong still couldn't make up his mind, and he said with some doubts, "However, this operation is too dangerous. If Lu Chen encountered an accident outside the city. How do we explain to General Lu Yi, who is fighting bloodily? ”

"Your Majesty is serious. If General Lu Yi knew about the current situation in Chang'an City, he would also understand His Majesty's decision. What's more, if we have been cowering in the city and not taking the initiative to attack, we will also be destroyed by the enemy in the end. ”

"Okay, I will appoint General Lu Chen as the main general, lead 10,000 soldiers and horses from the recruits recruited by the prime minister, and immediately go to Ganzhou and other places to seize the cities occupied by Tubo!" After thinking about it, Tang Xuanzong sighed.

When Tang Xuanzong's decree reached the Lu Mansion, Lu Chen was dining with his mother. After knowing the content of the holy decree, before Lu Chen could speak, he saw that his mother was angry, and asked the father-in-law who conveyed the holy decree loudly, "Please ask your father-in-law to ask, what does Your Majesty mean by this." Don't your majesty know how dangerous it is to get out of the city now? Why did you let Chen'er go out of the city at this time to resist the Tibetan army alone!? ”

"Please also ask Mrs. Zhenguo to calm her anger, Your Majesty said: Now there is no other military general in the city who is more suitable than your son. What's more, His Majesty allocated 10,000 elite soldiers to General Lu. I believe that General Lu will return triumphantly! ”

When Lu Chen next to him heard this, he immediately sneered, let him use these 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the alliance between Tubo and the Turks?
