Chapter Seventy-One: Recalled!

Lu Chen led an army of 1,000 to set off from the valley. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info With a map in hand, he headed directly to the nearest village, which was often raided by the Tibetans.

However, when they came to the village, they found a peaceful scene, and it was their arrival that frightened them.

Lu Chen found the village chief and asked, and learned that the Tubo people had not come here for more than a month, and in the past, a few Tubo soldiers would come to their village every ten days, but recently, they had never seen the Tubo people.

Since there was no trace of the Tibetans, Lu Chen did not linger any longer and led the army to the next village. But after they went to more than ten villages in a row, the news they got was surprisingly consistent, and they didn't find any Tibetan people recently!

At this time, Lu Chen remembered the letter that he had accidentally intercepted before, which made him realize that something big might be happening in the town in the recent period!

After knowing that these Tibetan troops would not come out to rob again, Lu Chen immediately led the army back to the small city he had just built. As soon as he came back, he saw the old patriarch coming over and asked with a smile, "Sage, you see that the city has also been built, should you give it a name?" ”

The old patriarch had never seen the city in his life, so now his face was full of joy, although this city belonged to Lu Chen, but Lu Chen was the sage of their tribe, that is to say, this city belonged to their ancestral stone tribe, every time he thought of this, the old patriarch couldn't help but smirk proudly for a while.

Hearing the words of this old patriarch, Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Holy City."

"The Holy City, the city that belongs to the Sage, has a good name!" The old patriarch muttered to himself with satisfaction.

Lu Chen: "..........." He really didn't mean it, but he didn't bother to explain, isn't it just the name of a city, it doesn't mean much. However, Lu Chen attaches great importance to the loyalty of the residents in the city, after all, this is his retreat, in case he can't get mixed up outside one day, he can also come here to recuperate.

After Lu Chen returned with the army, he built some defenses for the small city, and also diverted a tributary of the small river not far away, so that it flowed around the small city and used it as a moat.

On this day, Lu Chen received a military order from Lin Yuan, asking him to immediately lead two thousand troops back, and Lin Yuan was going to fight a decisive battle with the Tubo army. Hearing this news, Lu Chen's mind suddenly flashed the letter that he had accidentally intercepted before. Now there are more than ten days before the beginning of autumn.

Lu Chen asked the herald to go back to report to Lin Yuan, saying that they were confronting the Tubo people here at this time, and they couldn't leave, and if they didn't make some achievements, he was embarrassed to go back.

......................

In Lin Yuan's military tent, this herald stated Lu Chen's words to Lin Yuan. Hearing this, Lin Yuan was immediately furious, grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it on the ground, shouting, "It's just nonsense!" This Lu Chen actually dared to disobey the military order! ”

The herald, who knelt on one knee, tensed and motionless, for fear that the irascible general would take his anger out on him.

At this time, a strategist next to him suggested, "You send someone to give them another order, this time send a tougher person, if they really don't come back, then we can only abandon them, this operation has the cooperation of the people over there, even if there are no two thousand people, the impact on us will not be great."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and then said to the herald on the ground, "You find General Ji and ask him to bring dozens of people to tie this Lu Chen back to me, even if he is tied up!" If you don't get these two thousand people back, you don't have to come back! Hearing this, the herald immediately withdrew with his fists clenched as if he had been granted amnesty.

At this time, Long Yan found Lu Chen, and said with some worry, "General, if you directly refuse General Lin's order like this, you won't delay the decisive battle, right?" We can't afford to be charged with this kind of crime! ”

Hearing his words, Lu Chen sneered a few times, and said with a little meaning, "Don't worry, General Lin's actions will not have much impact without our two thousand people, he has stronger reinforcements!" “

"Stronger reinforcements? Who is it? It seems that there is only one army of General Lin nearby! Long Yan muttered to himself with some puzzlement.

Hearing Long Yan's words, Lu Chen just smiled and didn't explain. Needless to say, just watch, time will tell!

Lu Chen didn't take this matter to heart, and he continued to improve the small city. Another day passed, only to see that the herald who had been driven back by him before came again, and a general who was no less senior than Lu Chen's rank came.

Seeing Lu Chen, this person immediately took out Lin Yuan's handwritten document and said, "General Lu, General Lin Yuan asked you to lead the army back immediately, so as not to affect the decisive battle!" ”

As soon as this person came, he put a hat on Lu Chen and the others to delay the decisive battle, this crime is not something that anyone dares to bear, even if he is the son of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, he will be punished very severely.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, although the general had no expression on his face, he was proud in his heart. In his opinion, no matter how powerful these people are, they dare not bear the charge of delaying the fighter. If this matter is done, General Lin Yuan will definitely look at him differently when he returns, and his future career can be said to be clear.

"Yes, but I'm still going to stay here, we're here to protect these villagers, and if we leave, they'll be slaughtered. Today, Your Majesty is wise and martial, loves the people like a son, and will never let this kind of thing happen, therefore, let's still look at the wishes of these two thousand soldiers, if you are willing to go back with you, let them go back, and if you are not willing, you will continue to fight the enemy here with me! What do you think? The general was dreaming, and Lu Chen suddenly said loudly.

After listening to Lu Chen's words, this person was blocked for a while, and what this young man said was quite like that, he couldn't let Lu Chen ignore these people, after all, these ordinary villagers were also people of the Tang Dynasty, and they could usually turn a blind eye to the looting of these villages, but this kind of thing can't be said clearly, otherwise it will cause public anger.

And once it arouses public anger, Tang Xuanzong will definitely behead him in order to appease the public anger. Therefore, although these reasons seem very high-sounding now, he does not dare to say it.

After thinking for a moment, he glared at Lu Chen and promised, "Okay, we will see the wishes of these soldiers, if they all want to leave, I hope the general will not stop them when the time comes."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled at him and said, "If they themselves are willing to follow the general, there will naturally be no hindrance in the slightest!" ”

I went to drink with Fa Xiao today, and I get together once a year, and I'm a little late to drink, so I hope you will forgive me.
