Chapter 421: Li Xinran is surrounded!
On this day, Lu Chen was still studying various art of war in the study room in the mansion. Ran Wen ???? ?? Suddenly, a guard hurriedly came and shouted, "Shizi, come out quickly, the court has a holy decree for you, and the father-in-law who read the holy decree has arrived in the hall, and Madame has sent me to you!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen slowly put down the military book in his hand and said to himself, "The holy decree of the imperial court? I'm afraid it's Yang Guozhong's meaning again! I want to see what kind of tricks this Yang Guozhong is going to play! After speaking, Lu Chen immediately got up and walked towards the hall.
As for the source of the holy decree, Lu Chen did not have the slightest doubt from beginning to end, and it was 100% from Yang Guozhong. At most, let Tang Xuanzong put a jade seal on him. After all, the current Tang Xuanzong has been completely played by Yang Guozhonghe. Otherwise, Chang'an City would not have been chaotic by Yang Guozhong.
After Lu Chen came to the hall, he saw his mother and a father-in-law with gray hair, laughing and talking. Seeing Lu Chen coming, the father-in-law got up and then took out the holy decree, and said in a male duck voice, "Lu Chen receives the decree~ I heard that the hussar general's beloved daughter, Li Xinran was besieged by the Tubo army in Yazhou a few days ago, so I specially ordered General Lu to lead the army to the rescue. Due to the critical situation, I hope the general can go there on the same day! ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned, he never thought that this girl would run to that remote place in Yazhou?
You must know that Yazhou is one of the closest cities near Tubo, and it is even closer to Tubo than Minzhou City. It can be said that these cities were built in the middle of the two countries, and the Tang Dynasty relied on these cities to resist the invasions of Tibet again and again. Previously, this Yazhou city was a city under the jurisdiction of the Shannan West Daojie Du Envoy.
However, not long ago, the Yizhou Taishou General Shannan West Province was defeated, and the entire Shannan West Province was in chaos. Taking advantage of this gap, Tubo immediately sent troops and occupied several border cities, including Yazhou. Therefore, now this Yazhou city is actually occupied by the Tibetan army.
He never thought that Li Xinran would dare to go to that kind of place.
Lu Chen was thinking about it, when he heard the male duck next to him say again, "Lu Shizi, you still don't accept the order?" ”
Hearing this father-in-law's words, Lu Chen immediately bowed down, and then took the holy decree. Lu Chen's actions made his father-in-law standing in front of him stunned. Since ancient times, receiving orders has always been to bow down, and this Lu Chen in front of him actually behaved so contemptively, he was thinking about how to go to His Majesty to be high.
But before he could finish thinking about it, he heard Lu Chen hurriedly say, "The matter is in crisis, I don't have time to salute my father-in-law, I'm going to prepare to go to the rescue, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Your Majesty will give to the last general?" You can't let me go to the rescue myself, can you? ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the father-in-law glanced at Lu Chen coldly, obviously dissatisfied with his failure to kneel and bow just now, and then said, "That's natural, Your Majesty has prepared two thousand elite soldiers for the general to dispatch!" ”
"Oh? Then may I ask if these two thousand elite soldiers are the Yulin Army or the left and right guards? When Lu Chen heard this, he asked in some surprise. After all, this idea should have been Yang Guozhong's idea, and he would give himself so many troops so well?
Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, he saw that the father-in-law shook his head and said, "These two thousand elite soldiers are not from the palace, but the prime minister sent them from the mansion to the general, and I hope the general will not disappoint the prime minister's kindness."
Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly burst into laughter, and then said word by word, "The last general will definitely not disappoint the prime minister, a 'good' meaning!" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the father-in-law handed a special token to Lu Chen. Taking the token, Lu Chen found that there was a big Yang character written on the back of it. Obviously, this token should be used to dispatch the two thousand Yang family soldiers.
However, after hearing that these two thousand elite soldiers were from the Yang family, Lu Chen had already lost any hope for these two thousand people. Not only did he not have hope, but he had to be on the lookout for these people at all times. After all, it is a soldier and horse from the Yang family, and this time it is Yang Guozhong's conspiracy.
Although he understood this, Lu Chen couldn't refuse to go this time. Not to mention the crime of resisting the decree, just talking about the relationship between him and Li Xinran, it is impossible for Lu Chen to pretend to turn a blind eye when she is in danger.
Of course, Lu Chen did not rush there, but first went to the Hussar General's mansion. After confirming that Li Xinran was indeed besieged in Yazhou, Lu Chen really believed it. After all, he had just listened to the father-in-law's words before, and Lu Chen naturally couldn't believe it.
And when he learned that Lu Chen was going to the rescue, the housekeeper of the Hussar General's Mansion immediately mobilized 500 soldiers and horses from the mansion and asked them to follow Lu Chen. And before Lu Chen left, the old housekeeper also secretly warned Lu Chen that he must be vigilant against the two thousand people of the Yang family.
At the same time, in the Prime Minister's House. Yang Guozhong was sitting upright in the hall, and in front of him was a person standing respectfully, this person was the father-in-law who had sent the holy decree to Lu Chen before.
Yang Guozhong looked at the father-in-law and asked, "Everything is done?" ”
"Back to my lord, although Lu Chen was a little dissatisfied with this holy decree, he seemed to see that it was the meaning of the adult. But after all, it is His Majesty's holy decree, and he can only obediently follow it."
Hearing this father-in-law's words, a hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Yang Guozhong's eyes, and he said, "What can you do if you are not satisfied, does he still dare to resist the decree?" By the time he is disposed of, our plan will be more than half successful. By the way, after killing that Lu Chen, you will send someone to rescue Li Xinran from the hands of the Tubo people with a lot of money. This woman can't die now, keep her to deal with the hussar general in the future! ”
"My lord, there is one more thing that you should be aware of. It is the envoy of the Jiannan Jiedu, after he annexed half of the territory of Shanna West Road, his current jurisdiction is adjacent to Yazhou. After hearing that the beloved daughter of the hussar general was besieged in Yazhou by the Tibetan army, he sent his eldest son, Long Aoshi, to Yazhou with 5,000 elite soldiers to rescue him a few days ago."
Hearing this, Yang Guozhong didn't pay too much attention to it, and sneered, "If only 5,000 soldiers and horses could capture Yazhou, then their Tubo would have been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty a long time ago."
"If an ordinary general leads 5,000 soldiers and horses, he will naturally not be able to capture Yazhou City, but it is Long Aoshi who is going this time, so it is difficult to say."
Speaking of Long Aoshi, a trace of amazement suddenly flashed in the eyes of this father-in-law, and he continued, "My lord, you must not underestimate this young man. Although this person is only in his twenties, his prestige has already spread throughout the south and Tibet. This son is also a genius, it is said that when he was born, Jiannan Jiedu wanted to name him Long Aotian, but later because of the word Tian, and the Son of Heaven, in order to avoid the suspicion of the saint, this was changed to Long Aoshi. ”
