After learning of Yang Guozhong's exploits, Tang Xuanzong was very pleased???.? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? However, although the ministers of the DPRK and China echoed Tang Xuanzong's praise on the surface, they were very disdainful in their hearts. They had long heard the details of this battle against Yugoslavia.

Fighting a small Nanzhao country is actually like this, are you embarrassed to show off your power here?

At the same time, An Lushan, who returned to Fanyang, was acting in secret. He first sent people to secretly contact the leaders of several Turkic tribes, and soon reached a unanimous agreement. After all, about invading the Tang Dynasty, they Turks have always been very enthusiastic.

A few days later, the people sent by An Lushan to Tibet for consultations also returned, and the result was naturally the same as that of the Turks. They were very happy to help An Lushan send troops to the Tang Dynasty. Now only the people sent to Nanzhao have not returned, after all, Nanzhao is too far away from them, and it will take at least more than a month to go back and forth. However, regarding Nanzhaoguo's attitude, An Lushan is not too worried. After all, Yang Guozhong had just sent troops to invade them not long ago, and such a good opportunity for revenge, presumably they Nanzhao Kingdom would not let it go.

I feel that the relevant matters of this reinforcement have been dealt with almost completely. An Lushan immediately launched a large-scale cleanup on his own territory. For those forces that are not loyal to him or have two hearts, he has carried out a purge for various reasons, and even some forces of the imperial court and military, An Lushan did not let go.

At the same time, in the military camp of General Zhenguo, which was not very far from An Lushan's territory, Lu Yi was discussing with several generals with a solemn face at this time. With such a big operation on An Lushan's side, it is impossible for them not to receive the news.

Ever since he knew An Lushan's movements, Lu Yi had never had a smile on his face. In the past few days, he sent out dozens of scouts one after another, letting them sneak into Fanyang and other places, and observe An Lushan's movements at all times.

Even Lu Yi found that even the intensity of the Turkic offensive in the past few days was strangely smaller, and sometimes even the movement of the Turkic army could not be seen for several days in a row. This is quite abnormal, after all, in the past, almost every day, there would be Turkic armies invading the Tang border, at least there would be soldiers and horses to harass them.

After discovering this abnormality, although Lu Yi didn't know the specific reason, he knew that something big would definitely happen. And this accident is absolutely inseparable from An Lushan. After thinking about it for a long time, he wrote a letter in his own hand and sent someone to the capital to hand it over to Tang Xuanzong.

And he himself drew one-third of the troops from the army defending against the Turks, and deployed a large number of troops in those border cities near the territory of An Lushan.

After doing all this, Lu Yi quietly waited for the Turks and An Lushan's reaction.

Not only here, but other forces in Datang have also secretly taken action. For example, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, he almost moved at the same time as An Lushan, and he also cleaned up the forces that did not belong to him in his own jurisdiction. And because of their actions, the forces around them also hurriedly sent troops to take precautions.

This is like a chain reaction, which finally led to the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the capital, all local forces are surging.

In the palace of the capital, Tang Xuanzong read it very carefully after getting the handwritten letter that Lu Yi gave him. But when he finished reading it, Tang Xuanzong's face did not show the slightest solemnity. saw that he immediately picked up a pen and replied to Lu Yi with a letter. The content is to let Lu Yi not have to worry, just let him be well prepared for the Turkic attack. As for An Lushan, Tang Xuanzong told him not to be careful, he believed that An Lushan would not rebel. As for An Lushan's action this time, it should be because of An Lushan's actions in order to find the murderer in the dark after he was attacked and killed in Chang'an City.

After seeing Tang Xuanzong's reply, Lu Yi did not relax in the slightest. Although Tang Xuanzong reassured him and told Lu Yi in a very positive tone that An Lushan could not have rebelled. However, Lu Yi's vigilance against An Lushan did not decrease in the slightest. On the contrary, it was because of Tang Xuanzong's words that Lu Yi became more worried.

It is clear from the letter that it is impossible for Tang Xuanzong to send troops or order to deal with An Lushan. And even if he, Lu Yi, was already sure in his heart that An Lushan had a rebellious heart, he couldn't act rashly. After all, without Tang Xuanzong's order, once he attacked An Lushan, others would think that he was going to rebel.

Therefore, no matter how much evidence he has now, no matter how big An Lushan's movements are. As long as An Lushan did not rebel openly, Lu Yi could only watch, even if An Lushan was rampant, Lu Yi would have no way to take him.

After more than half a month like this, An Lushan's actions became less blatant than before. Although the troops are still being deployed secretly, at least in terms of scale, it is not as moving as the original mobilization of tens of thousands of people.

After discovering this change, Lu Yi's face not only did not relax in the slightest, but became more dignified. He knew that the reason why An Lushan was not moving should have been arranged. Thinking of this, Lu Yi, who was cautious, transferred some manpower from the troops guarding against the Turks to prevent any emergencies.

Not only Lu Yi, but also those generals who were loyal to the imperial court in other places, after discovering the abnormalities in the Tang Dynasty. is also worried, and many people have written to the imperial court, wanting Tang Xuanzong to take some action, at least to suppress these rampant forces. However, after they sent it out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and they didn't get the slightest response at all.

In desperation, these generals could only send all the troops under their command to guard against the surrounding forces. Even the southernmost hussar generals had a lot of troops in their rear.

During this period of time, Lu Chen was busy with other things in Chang'an City. In a relatively remote place in Chang'an City, he secretly bought a relatively dilapidated house.

Subsequently, Lu Chen asked Song Cai to send four more reliable people to assist him in his work. Because Lu Chen wants to develop a big gadget artillery this time.

Although Lu Chen had also thought about making this thing before, because this kind of thing was too troublesome to transport, he couldn't flexibly pull it to the battlefield. Therefore, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to develop it. However, since Lu Chen captured Luzhou City, this idea resurfaced in Lu Chen's mind, after all, although this thing is not very convenient to transport, it is very useful to defend the city.
