After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Luzhou was set up by Tang Gaozu as a governor's office, and three years later it was promoted to the governor's office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis has finally made Luzhou develop into a city on a par with Yizhou and Hanzhou.

In today's Luzhou City, at least 5,000 troops are stationed, and this is only superficially under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office. If you count the private soldiers of the major families, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of conservative estimates.

Moreover, Lu Chen learned from others that in the previous battle between the Shannan Xidao Jiedu envoy and the Yizhou Taishou, the Governor's Mansion only sent 2,000 soldiers to reinforce it. Therefore, the losses caused by this battle to the Luzhou forces were not very large.

After learning this, Lu Chen's brows furrowed even tighter. His current strength is only four thousand. The 2,000 soldiers recovered in these three small cities do not need to think about their combat effectiveness, and they are not at the same level as the city guards at all.

Moreover, they are still the besieging party, and everyone knows that it is easy to defend the city but difficult to attack. Even if it is an ordinary city, the attacker must have at least twice as many soldiers as the defenders before they dare to attack. Not to mention a well-defended city like Luzhou City. Even if it is three times the force, I am afraid it will be difficult to attack.

However, Lu Chen's current strength is not even half of the others. Lu Chen believed that as long as he attacked the city by himself, the major families in Luzhou City would definitely send troops to reinforce the Governor's Mansion. After all, over the years, these families have formed a weak balance with the Governor's Mansion, and various complex relationship networks have also been perfected.

If another person rules Luzhou City now, their families will definitely have to lose. And these families still don't know what Lu Chen's attitude is towards these families after they occupy Luzhou City. Therefore, no matter what the relationship between the major families and the Governor's Mansion is. Once Luzhou City faces a threat, they will definitely defend against the enemy together, which Lu Chen did not doubt at the beginning.

After several comparisons, Lu Chen finally came to a conclusion. Without more than 8,000 troops, this Luzhou City doesn't have to think about it. Eight thousand troops, this is still the smallest force that Lu Chen has been able to win under the premise that Lu Chen has gone through an assumption that he doesn't know how many times, and the major families in the city do not send troops. Of course, if he really led 8,000 soldiers to attack the city, the chances of failure were still far greater than success.

If you really want to capture this Luzhou City, judging from the current situation in Luzhou City, there is hope for at least 15,000 troops to attack the city. And now there are only 4,000 people in Lu Chen, which is not enough for even a fraction.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen finally decided to be cheeky enough to borrow soldiers from Jiannan Jiedu again. Of course, he couldn't have borrowed it empty-handed. If he really asked for it empty-handed, no matter how good his relationship with Long Yan was, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy would not lend it to him.

As a festival envoy who dominates the south of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for Jiannan to be swayed by affection. Otherwise, this land of Jiannan would have been annexed by other forces long ago.

For this borrowing of troops, Lu Chen is still quite confident, although he has no territory and no power now. But he's rich!

When he was in Minzhou City, he privately left one-third of the Jiang family's property, even if he used half of it when he built the holy city, the rest was still a huge amount. Coupled with the silver taels earned by Datang Express in the past year and a half. It was enough for Lu Chen to borrow these 10,000 soldiers and horses.

After thinking of this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated, he immediately said goodbye to Luo Palace, and asked Luo Palace to station them in this small city first, and by the way, they would train the two thousand soldiers who had been temporarily recruited. And he ran alone towards the mansion of the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu.

Two days later, Lu Chen came to the familiar Jiannan Jiedu Envoy's Mansion again. This time, the guards in front of the mansion saw Lu Chen's arrival. Directly welcomed him in, and another guard immediately entered the mansion to inform the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu. After all, this young man had cooperated with the Jiannan Jiedu envoy not long ago, and it was not an ordinary cooperation. This kind of person is not something that a small guard like them can afford to provoke.

Unexpectedly, after learning of Lu Chen's arrival, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy immediately asked people to bring Lu Chen to the hall for guests. For this young man, the Jiannan Festival envoy still has a good impression. This time, it was precisely because of this young man that he only sent out 10,000 troops, and with almost no casualties, he occupied nearly half of the territory of the Shannan West Daojiedu Envoy.

When Lu Chen came to the lobby, he saw that Jiannan Jiedu immediately stood up with a laugh and said, "It turns out that Xiaoyou is here, welcome to the extreme~ For the last cooperation, the old man expressed his gratitude to Xiaoyou!" If you have something in the future, you can come to the old man for help at any time~"

Hearing this, Lu Chen first gave a salute to Jiannan Jiedu, and then said with a smile, "If it wasn't for General Zhang's assistance before, it would be impossible for the kid to wipe out all the troops of Yizhou Taishou." Once he led the remnants of the forces to flee back to Yizhou, it would be difficult to destroy them again. Therefore, it should be to thank the adults at the next level~"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Jiannan Jiedu smiled even more happily, he clasped his palms with both hands and smiled, "The two of us don't have to be so polite, I wonder if Xiaoyou is okay with coming this time?" ”

Hearing that Jiannan Jiedu finally returned to the topic, Lu Chen was no longer polite to him, and said, "Yes, since the Jiedu envoy is very satisfied with the previous cooperation. Presumably, the next thing will be of interest to the adults."

Hearing that Lu Chen had something to do with him again, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy immediately asked with interest, "I don't know what Xiaoyou's plans are?" It can't be another force that you want to attack, right? The old man's army is still recovering the land of Shannan and Xidao, and now there are not too many idle troops."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's face was still very calm and said, "Jiedu made the adult guess half right, this time I really want to cooperate with the Jiedu to attack a place." However, this place is not another territory, just a city under the jurisdiction of the Shannan West Road Jiedu Envoy. ”

Hearing Lu Chen's explanation, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy was even more curious, "Which city is it, can't Xiaoyou's own forces attack it?" ”

"Luzhou City"

Hearing that Lu Chen actually wanted to attack Luzhou City, Jiannan Jiedu's eyes suddenly flashed. However, he quickly relented. He asked with a smile again, "I don't know why Xiaoyou took a fancy to Minzhou City?" This city is not easy to attack, even if it is me, I am not sure to take it."

Hearing the inquiry of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and said, "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the jokes of the Jiedu envoy, after destroying the power of the Yizhou Taishou, I plan to go to the west to pick up Yizhou City." Unexpectedly, he was made the first by Shannan Dongdao Jiedu. Not only Yizhou City, but also most of the other cities were also occupied by it. In desperation, I can only use Luzhou City, which is separated by a river, as my stronghold."

I wish you all a happy New Year's Day~
