Chapter 492: Meatball's Visit

At the end of the letter, Song Cai also specially informed Lu Chen that the people in the Lu Mansion were all accepted into Luzhou City by him. Ranwen ???. Ranen'org even the family members of the Hussar General's Mansion followed him to the city of Luzhou, using it as a base to escape the war. According to the steward of the Hussar General's Mansion, this is the meaning of the Hussar General, once Chang'an City is breached, let them take refuge in Luzhou City.

Later, Song Cai also sent someone to inquire about the news of the lone general Zhenguo, the situation was not very optimistic, and even his current situation was very critical.

Because An Lushan's rebels were no longer contained, this led to the fact that General Zhenguo now had to face the siege of An Lushan, Tubo and the Turkic armies. Fortunately, in order to guard against the Turkic attack for so many years, General Zhenguo has built a lot of defenses in several border cities. Therefore, it was difficult for the enemy army to break through these cities for a while.

Moreover, An Lushan's army mainly continued to move south. They must destroy Tang Xuanzong, otherwise even if they establish a new dynasty, they will not be recognized by the world. Therefore, now An Lushan's main focus is still on Tang Xuanzong's body, and they have no time to pay attention to the situation on Lu Yi's side.

Therefore, Lu Yi is still relatively safe now, at least there will not be a big crisis in the short term. Of course, this also requires Lu Yi not to take the initiative to attack. If he dared to lead a large army to rush out of the city, the rebels guarding only a few cities would be enough to get rid of Lu Yi's army.

Although it is the wisest choice for Lu Yi to stay in those cities now. But Lu Chen guessed that his father, whom he had never met, was very likely to risk his life and rush out of the city in an attempt to go to Shu to protect Tang Xuanzong.

However, it was useless for Lu Chen to worry about it now. Although he already has an army of 100,000 under his command, most of them are new soldiers, and if they are really pulled on the battlefield, I am afraid it is difficult to compare with those veterans.

In the next two months, Lu Chen has been steadily training these 100,000 troops. At the same time, Lu Chen also formulated a lot of new policies, and this series of measures made his two major jurisdictions gradually regain their former vitality.

One day, an acquaintance suddenly came to visit Lu Chen's house.

This person is the meat ball that was sent to the Far East with King Shou before. It's been more than a year, and now the meat ball has lost a lot of weight. Of course, this is only compared to what he used to be. If you compare his current body shape with ordinary people, he is still very fat.

After he saw Lu Chen, he was excited, and his cheeks turned red and he pounced directly. However, seeing this lump of pounces, Lu Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly hid aside. Then Lu Chen grabbed his arm to prevent him from falling due to the force being too strong.

When the meat ball gradually calmed down, Lu Chen asked with some confusion, "Isn't King Shou in the Dengzhou area?" How did you end up here? ”

Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, he smiled when he saw the meat ball, and said, "Our family did go to Dengzhou, and my father's fiefdom is also in Dengzhou and Laizhou." However, this time I came over not only to miss you, but also to bring my father's request. ”

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, although he had a good relationship with the meat ball, he had never seen King Shou a few times. And like these royal familymen, Lu Chen's heart has always been very vigilant. After all, these people have grown up in an environment of intrigue. Although King Shou has always been very low-key, after all, he grew up in the palace, and Lu Chen didn't believe how innocent his heart was.

Seeing Lu Chen's puzzled expression, Meatball immediately explained, "You should know that the power of An Lushan's rebels is already close to my father's fief. And in the face of such a huge force, my father naturally did not have the strength to fight. So, he asked me to ask you to send troops to help him."

After speaking, he saw the meat ball sigh and said again, "However, I personally don't recommend you to be an enemy of An Lushan." After all, their current power is too strong for even the imperial court to compete."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was a little stunned and asked, "You mean, you don't want me to help your father?" In Lu Chen's opinion, Meatball should try his best to persuade himself to help his father. Unexpectedly, his first sentence was to ask Lu Chen not to help King Shou.

Seeing Lu Chen's surprised expression, Meatball said helplessly, "Although I don't like my father very much, I naturally don't want his fiefdom to be broken by the enemy. After all, my mother has always followed my father, and if my father has nothing, my mother will suffer with him. But at the same time, I also know in my heart that if you use your current strength to be the enemy of An Lushan, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky."

After hearing the contradictory words of the meat ball, Lu Chen's heart warmed slightly. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my strength is not as bad as you think." However, it is not impossible for me to send a large army over for reinforcements, but I have one condition. That's the time I used to have, and everything in his realm was handled by me."

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Meatball's eyes, but then he asked with some concern, "Are you really good?" Although An Lushan's army is now in the area of Chang'an City. But there are still more than 100,000 troops left here, and besides, the Turks in the north can still be reinforced at any time, are you sure they can withstand their invasion? ”

After listening to the analysis of the meat ball, Lu Chen was a little surprised and asked, "When did you understand the battle situation like this?" "Before, meat balls were not interested in anything other than eating.

"It's all forced, you think I want to know about these things? At the beginning, An Lushan's power had been expanding eastward, and soon it would reach his father's fiefdom. In those days, there was even more panic in our house. I also began to understand these things in search of a way out! Hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question, Meatball complained very dissatisfied.

The meat ball didn't stay long on Lu Chen's side before going back. He wanted to tell his father what Lu Chen meant as soon as possible. After all, now An Lushan's power has reached the Cangzhou area. I'm afraid it won't be long before their army sets foot on King Shou's fiefdom.

Before leaving, Meatball still wanted Lu Chen to continue to prepare weight loss tea for him. He has been able to lose weight for more than a year, and weight loss tea has contributed a lot.

After sending away the meat balls, Lu Chen returned to Yanzhou City and gathered all the craftsmen in the city. Subsequently, Lu Chen distributed the drawings one by one, and asked these craftsmen to make these strange things according to the drawings.
