After hearing the news, Lu Chen immediately asked about Lu Yi's situation. Huoran? Wen???.? r a?n?en'netAlthough Lu Yi has returned to Lu Mansion once in the past two years. And that time, Lu Chen happened to be outside. Therefore, until now, Lu Chen has not seen his father.

But it may be that when you accept the memories of the original owner of this body, you will also receive his emotions. Therefore, now that Lu Chen heard that the battle situation on Lu Yi's side was not optimistic, he still had a trace of worry in his heart.

However, when I heard these generals stationed in Hezhou City say behind them, Lu Yi's army did not suffer much losses. The reason why he chose to retreat to the cities on the frontier was only because of the defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. The disparity in the strength of the two sides became very large, so Lu Yi could only choose to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

After knowing that Lu Yi and the others were safe for the time being, Lu Chen's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he focused on this Hezhou city. After all, now that he has occupied this Hezhou City, it can be said that the passage between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty has been blocked. Lu Chen believed that the Tibetan soldiers would definitely come to attack the city in the near future.

A few days passed quietly, and one morning earlier, Lu Chen got another news: the hussar general had led the army back to Chang'an City, and the army was stationed outside Tongguan, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The return of the hundreds of thousands of troops led by the hussar general to Beijing also made the major families in Chang'an City feel at ease, and they were no longer as panicked as before. Even many people are ready to flee Chang'an City at any time. The hundreds of thousands of troops of the hussar general are like a reassuring needle. Although these hundreds of thousands of troops are not enough to defeat the alliance of An Lushan, the Tibetans and the Turks.

But he is now stationed at Tongguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy army, not to mention the 300,000 army, even if it is 500,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to attack Tongguan in a short time. Because of the dangerous terrain of Tongguan, the enemy's strength advantage is no longer so obvious.

After a few more days, Tubo and other tripartite coalition forces really rushed all the way to Chang'an. After driving straight from northern Xinjiang and other places, until they reached the outside of Tongguan, they stopped advancing. Although their current strength is nearly twice that of the Tang army, a Tongguan is a direct obliteration of their advantage.

And after the hussar general returned to the capital, the military forces in Chang'an City, which had always been weak, suddenly seemed to have confidence. In the past, it was because most of these military generals were stationed in foreign enemies. There are very few powerful people in the military families and mansions in Chang'an City, and most of the people who live in these mansions are their family members.

On the contrary, most of the ministers were concentrated in Chang'an City, which made the military forces in Chang'an City always weak.

But now it's different, as soon as the hussar general returns, the major families of the military seem to have backers and become active. Moreover, gradually, these military forces, mainly the Hussar General's Mansion, began to fight against the Yang family.

And Yang Guozhong, as the prime minister, naturally knows this. He knew in his heart that if he wanted the Yang family to return to the status of the largest family in the capital before, he had to let the hussar general leave Chang'an City, or even directly cut off his official title.

It's just that now he can't make a move on the hussar general. After all, he also knew in his heart that the current crisis in Chang'an City could only be resolved by this hussar general. Thinking of this, Yang Guozhong frowned slightly, this kind of dilemma is not easy to do!

Suddenly, Yang Guozhong, who was frowning, had a plan, if he let this hussar general take the initiative to attack and have a decisive battle with the enemy. The biggest possibility should be that both sides will lose, and at that time, he Yang Guozhong will run to Tang Xuanzong again and say a few words of 'slightly deep meaning'. With Tang Xuanzong's suspicious character, this threat will definitely not exist at that time.

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhong no longer hesitated. Immediately asked someone to prepare the carriage, and he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint.

When he came to the palace, Tang Xuanzong naturally entertained him very warmly. It can be seen that Tang Xuanzong's face is now filled with a heartfelt smile. Obviously, the arrival of the hussar general made Tang Xuanzong's heart that he had always carried out also let go.

After seeing this scene, Yang Guozhong talked about the hussar general intentionally or unintentionally in his next conversation with Tang Xuanzong, and he wanted to see Tang Xuanzong's attitude.

After hearing Yang Guozhong mention the hussar general, Tang Xuanzong did not hesitate to praise him. After hearing Tang Xuanzong's praise, Yang Guozhong said that on the surface, he also praised it. However, a very faint cold glint flashed in his eyes.

After knowing Tang Xuanzong's attitude, he stopped talking about it. Instead, they began to ask Tang Xuanzong what they should do later. After all, you can't always be like this all the time in Chang'an City.

Mentioning this matter, after thinking about it for a while, Tang Xuanzong did not take the lead in saying his thoughts, but looked at Yang Guozhong and asked, "I wonder what Zai thinks about the current predicament of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Hearing Tang Xuanzong's inquiry, Yang Guozhong did not show the slightest surprise. It was as if he had known before that Tang Xuanzong would ask like this.

Yang Guozhong deliberately pretended to be thoughtful, and after a while, he said in a slightly deep tone: "Now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is mainly dominated by the rebels of the Tubo Turks and Na'an Lushan. As long as these three forces are eliminated, the chaos in Datang will soon be able to subside."

Speaking of this, Yang Guozhong glanced at Tang Xuanzong, but saw that he nodded calmly. The situation in the Tang Dynasty now, as the emperor, is naturally very clear. Not only him, but I am afraid that as long as he is a civil and military official in the DPRK, he knows that these three forces are the source of chaos in the Tang Dynasty.

After seeing Tang Xuanzong's expression, Yang Guozhong said again, "However, now that the hussar general is stationed in Tongguan, it is impossible for the enemy army to attack it." And General Zhenguo's army is now stationed in northern Xinjiang, although they failed to stop An Lushan. But only the Crusade Army suffered heavy losses. General Zhenguo's army did not suffer actual losses. Therefore, Weichen believed that as long as the hussar general and the Zhenguo general were allowed to launch an offensive against the enemy army at the same time. At that time, it will just form a flanking attack one after the other, and it will definitely be able to repel the enemy army! ”

After hearing Yang Guozhong's strategy, Tang Xuanzong said with some concerns: "If it is really a head-on battle with the enemy." Even if it wins, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory. ”

Hearing Tang Xuanzong's concerns, he saw Yang Guozhong suddenly surrender his hand, and said with some hesitation, "Weichen said offensively, if the sacrifice of these soldiers can save the people of the Tang Dynasty from the poison of war, I believe these soldiers will definitely be willing." Moreover, once there is no enemy army, these generals will have nothing to do, and please think about it carefully. After speaking, Yang Guozhong glanced at Tang Xuanzong with a little meaning.

After hearing Yang Guozhong's words, Tang Xuanzong's face suddenly changed. He could naturally hear the deep meaning contained in Yang Guozhong's words. When the enemy retreats, these generals with heavy troops will have no one to contain them. At that time, if these people have bad intentions, the consequences will be very serious.
