Lu Chen led these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to leave Hezhou City three days later. rane?n? ???．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? En'net: A bombshell news came that the hussar general was going to fight to the death with the enemy outside Tongguan. Now the general is recruiting patriots from all over the world, preparing to fight the rebels. The army of the general Zhenguo in the northern Xinjiang has now marched from those garrisoned cities to the Central Plains, forming a flanking attack with the hussar general.

Nowadays, the taverns and teahouses in the major cities are talking about this news. Judging from the news that has come out so far, the armies of the two generals seem to have a slight advantage in the situation, after all, they have blocked the enemy army in the Central Plains for a generation.

However, after knowing these news, Lu Chen was not as optimistic as others. Indeed, now that his father and the hussar general were in a flank attack on the rebels, it seemed to have a slight advantage on the surface. However, the strength of the enemy forces caught in the Central Plains region was too strong, and their situation of attacking from front to back made the already weak forces of the other side even more dispersed.

Moreover, according to the news that Lu Chen had obtained before, An Lushan's power was not fully revealed, and there were still many soldiers and horses hidden in the dark. Once the decisive battle breaks out, those forces hidden in the shadows are undoubtedly very terrifying.

When Lu Chen thought of this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He didn't believe it, the hussar general and his father couldn't see the current situation. In today's situation, even an ordinary general can see that it is the wisest choice to let the hussar general die in Tongguan now.

But now the two remaining main forces of the Tang Dynasty, not only did they not defend to the death, but they had to take the initiative to send troops. This made Lu Chen very incomprehensible. In fact, not only Lu Chen, but also the hussar general and those generals under his father's command were also incomprehensible in their hearts. However, despite the doubts in their hearts, this was a holy decree issued by Tang Xuanzong himself, and they had to abide by it. Even if they knew very well in their hearts that the decisive battle was very unfavorable to them now, they were helpless.

Although there was news of a decisive battle, there was no movement between the two sides in the next few days. Obviously, both sides are preparing for the war, after all, this is a decisive battle that will determine the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and neither side dares to relax in the slightest.

At this time, the hussar general was in his military tent, looking at the map unfolded on the table, and his brow furrowed. The map in front of you is naturally the map of Tongguan's generation. Behind Tongguan is Chang'an City, and not far in front has been occupied by rebels.

This situation made it a little difficult for the hussar general to choose where to choose as the location of the decisive battle for a while. The few generals standing beside the hussar general were also solemn, and no one spoke.

Each of them is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, and almost all kinds of wars, big and small, have passed. But only this decisive battle made them not know how to decide.

According to what they thought before, it was best to stick to Tongguan now. Wait until all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrive in Chang'an City, and then have a decisive battle with the rebels. Because the enemy troops stationed outside Tongguan, although they seem to be menacing on the surface, they are deep into the belly of the Tang Dynasty after all, and they are driving straight into it at such a fast speed, it is impossible to carry too much grain and grass. These generals believed that as long as they confronted the enemy for a while, even if the enemy army did not retreat, they would probably become demoralized, and then they would have a much better chance of winning a decisive battle.

However, just as they were preparing to hold on for a long time, the imperial court suddenly issued a holy decree for them to send troops immediately. This made all the strategies they had prepared before in vain. Moreover, the enemy forces outside Tongguan are obviously much stronger than them, and it is difficult to win. But the holy decree of the imperial court has been urging them to attack.

In desperation, they could only wait for the arrival of General Zhenguo, which made Tang Xuanzong give them more than half a month to prepare. Otherwise, let them attack without preparation, I am afraid there is no chance of victory.

In a tense and calm atmosphere, more than ten days passed quickly. On the other side, Lu Chen led the army after a long journey over the past few days, and finally came to the realm of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy. However, the arrival of such a huge team was naturally discovered by the Jiannan Jiedu envoy very quickly.

Although the relationship between Lu Chen and the Jiannan Jiedu envoy is quite good. But he rashly led an army of 20,000 to the territory of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, and still frightened the Jiannan Jiedu envoy.

Lu Chen entered Jiannanzhi, and in less than half a day, a group of soldiers appeared from the front, blocking their way.

After seeing Lu Chen's army, the faces of the soldiers who came from a distance suddenly showed a look of vigilance.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen immediately asked Tianda to step forward to explain his intention to the other party, he didn't want to fall out with Jiannan Jiedu at this time. Besides, his Luzhou City is still under the jurisdiction of the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy, and it will not be good for him once he falls out.

When he learned that Lu Chen just wanted to take the road to Luzhou City. The general shook his head, and said in a very resolute tone, "I'm sorry General Lu, you can't lead the army deep into the land of Jiannan, this is the meaning of the Jiedu envoy, and I hope the general can understand." Even if you don't have malicious intent, we don't dare to let your army enter and leave the land of Jiannan, especially in the current situation."

After hearing the words of this general, Lu Chen immediately understood, it turned out that it was Jiannan Jiedu who was afraid that he had any thoughts about the land of Jiannan. After all, he led an army of 20,000 this time, plus the soldiers stationed in Luzhou City, there were 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses.

And the total strength of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy is only more than 40,000 on the surface, even if you count those soldiers in the secret, I am afraid that the total number of soldiers will not exceed 60,000. Therefore, for Jiannan Jiedu to be so cautious, Lu Chen can still understand.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen said, "Since this is the case, then my soldiers are waiting here." I only led a small group of soldiers to Luzhou City, and I went to Luzhou City. In this way, the festival should have no opinion, right? ”

Hearing that Lu Chen had changed his mind, the general immediately surrendered his hand and said very respectfully, "As long as General Lu does not lead the army into the land of Jiannan, the Lord will not interfere in the general's affairs."

Subsequently, Lu Chen asked Tianda and a group of generals to be stationed here. He only led five hundred cavalry and Lin Lao to Luzhou City.

After an afternoon of hurrying, Lu Chen and the others finally saw the huge Luzhou City from a distance. (To be continued.) )
