Chapter 449: Lu Chen's Guess!
In this way, An Lushan has been expanding unscrupulously. The update is the fastest, but he has always said that he wants to exterminate the traitor Yang Guozhong and defend the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, An Lushan also listed Yang Guozhong's various behaviors in the recent period, obviously wanting to empty the imperial power
In fact, Yang Guozhong's recent series of actions really want to control the government in the hands of their Yang family. Therefore, when An Lushan put all this series of things on the surface, many families suddenly chose to support An Lushan.
Because of these families, they are also afraid that the Yang family will be dominant in the end. After all, the current Yang family, there is no family in Chang'an City that can compete with it, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not stretch out their hands to other cities in the future.
Therefore, now An Lushan is raising troops, which is just in line with the interests of their families. They don't care whether An Lushan wants to rebel as soon as possible or not, as long as they destroy the Yang family, or if they can consume a little of the Yang family's power, their goal will be achieved.
And with the support of these families, An Lushan does not need to worry about grain and grass. Therefore, after capturing this Fanyang and other places, An Lushan was no longer in a hurry to expand his territory, but began to expand his team.
Because An Lushan is no longer expanding, there have been fewer wars in the past few days. However, no force dares to let down its guard against the current calm. Everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm.
During this period, An Lushan and other forces did not break out into war, he only cleared the remnants of his own territory again. And the surrounding forces, seeing that An Lushan had no signs of invasion, they could only choose to remain silent. After all, no one wants to really fight with An Lushan, which does not benefit them in the slightest.
In this way, time passed bit by bit. During this period of time, An Lushan seemed to have fallen silent again, and there was no major movement. However, Lu Chen received news from Song Cai that although An Lushan did not continue to expand on the surface, he was recruiting troops in his own territory.
After learning of An Lushan's movements, Lu Chen stopped caring about him. Anyway, in the recent period, it is impossible for An Lushan to attack Chang'an City. Compared with this An Lushan, Lu Chen's heart was more vigilant against Yang Guozhong. After all, Yang Guozhong had already sent Yang Yi to assassinate him before, but unfortunately, in the battle against Yazhou City, Yang Yi did not succeed.
And after Lu Chen returned to Chang'an City, Yang Guozhong met An Lushan again to raise troops to recruit him. Therefore, Yang Guozhong had no time to deal with Lu Chen at all. However, although Yang Guozhong has not moved for a while recently, Lu Chen's heart does not dare to relax in the slightest.
Lu Chen knew in his heart that if Yang Guozhong wanted to confront An Lushan, he had to master the army, and if he wanted to master the army, he had to get the support of several generals such as General Lu Yi and the Hussars.
However, since ancient times, the military and the military have been opposed, and I have never heard of that dynasty, where the civil servants and the military generals can get along, and even if there is, it is just an example.
Therefore, now if Yang Guozhong wants to gain the support of the military, he must first secretly break up the union of several generals of the military. Only then will he have a chance to gain the support of several of them.
Now, Lu Chen basically understands why Yang Guozhong wanted to kill himself before. Once Lu Chen died in the process of saving Li Xinran, Yang Guozhong could have fabricated evidence to say that Lu Chen was killed by Long Aoshi, who also went to rescue Li Xinran. As for the reason, it is very simple, because Lu Chen had already been named the city lord of Luzhou City before, and Luzhou City was under the jurisdiction of the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy. Therefore, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Lu Chen and bring Luzhou City under his jurisdiction.
This reason can be said to be flawless, and it is impossible to doubt it even a little. And once the people of the Lu Mansion believe in this reason, with Li Lan's character, I am afraid that they will immediately think of Tang Xuanzong's request to go to the Jiannan Jiedu envoy.
When there is friction between these two forces, I am afraid that the military will also fall into chaos in an instant. At that time, Yang Guozhong will be able to attract a lot of military forces if he shows his lure again.
Although in this process, Yang Guozhong did not know what Lu Chen would do. However, the ultimate goal, Lu Chen is very sure. Otherwise, he really couldn't find any other reason why Yang Guozhong wanted to kill him.
However, all of this is based on Lu Chen's accidental death in Yazhou City, and now Lu Chen has returned to Chang'an City intact, which makes Yang Guozhong's plans all messed up. Otherwise, after learning that Lu Chen was back, Yang Guozhong would not have been so angry.
Since he figured out Yang Guozhong's purpose, Lu Chen's vigilance against him has never relaxed. Even if An Lushan raised troops to recruit a month ago, Yang Guozhong was busy dealing with An Lushan, and he had no time to manage other things. Lu Chen didn't dare to relax a little.
On this day, Lu Chen was in her study, looking at a map sent to her by Song Cai, which roughly marked the current situation of Datang, especially the territory of An Lushan, which was marked in great detail.
Suddenly, a guard came to Lu Chen's door and knocked lightly on his door. After getting Lu Chen's permission, this guard pushed the door and entered, and reported to the prince, and news came from the palace that the prime minister called on the major families in the capital to unite to stop the expansion of An Lushan
Hearing the guard's words, Lu Chen nodded, and said with a smile, You go to the Yang Mansion and tell them that our Lu Mansion will fully support this operation. However, because there are not many guards in the Lu Mansion now, the materials are also very lacking. Therefore, we can only stand in solidarity with the coalition forces, and ask them to understand
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the guard looked at Lu Chen a little dumbfounded for a while. In addition to material and human support, he couldn't figure out what kind of aid solidarity was. However, since Lu Chen said that he could support, he could only relay the original words to the people of the Yang family.
At the same time, after more than half a month of silence, An Lushan finally started to act again. This time, he no longer only operated in his own territory as before, but directly pointed the finger at some forces in the Central Plains. Under the fierce attack of its army, in just a few days, four or five local forces have been wiped out.
After that, those forces that were close to An Lushan's jurisdiction, seeing his terrifying momentum, also expressed their willingness to surrender to his command.
To be continued.
