Chapter 493: Fighting the Tiger!

After these craftsmen got the drawings, they looked at them for a long time, and none of them could see what they were trying to make. Ran Wen ???? ?? Because there is only one simple part on each drawing. And it's not that hard to make. However, with so many varieties put together, no matter how many craftsmen put them together, they couldn't imagine what it was.

Naturally, these parts are the parts for assembling artillery. Because the road from Chang'an to this side is too long, all the artillery pieces that Lu Chen made on the Chang'an side of Chang'an City were left in the two cities over there. Now, Lu Chen plans to build some more artillery, after all, the next big battle he will face is likely to be a showdown with An Lushan's rebels, and it will not work without some preparation.

Just as Lu Chen was nervously preparing, more than a month passed quietly.

On this day, Meatball came to find Lu Chen again, but compared with the last time, Meatball had a sad face this time.

After he saw Lu Chen, he said in a very resentful tone, "Lu Chen, my father does not agree to let you enter his territory. I also told him a lot, but not only did he disagree, but he also said that you are a person sent by His Majesty, and you have the responsibility to protect the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was not the slightest surprised, he sneered and said, "It seems that King Shou is really cautious!" He naturally understood that the reason why King Shou did not let him enter his fief was mostly because he was afraid that he would take his fief for himself.

After hearing Lu Chen's sneer, Rouqiu said indignantly again, "The most infuriating thing is that not only does my father disagree, but he even wants to unite with some surrounding forces, wanting to force you to lead a large army against An Lushan. After I got the news, I hurried over and told you, you better prepare early."

Hearing this, a hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. He never thought that this Shou Wang would be so despicable. According to Lu Chen's opinion, although he is not very familiar with King Shou, with his relationship with meat balls, it is impossible for this King Shou to do too much.

But after hearing Meatball's words, Lu Chen realized that he was very wrong. For his own sake, I'm afraid this Shouwang can do anything. However, this is also in line with Lu Chen's perception of the royal family.

Immediately, he saw Lu Chen suddenly smile slightly, and said, "They think that if they join forces, they can force me to comply?" I have to say, they don't know me Lu Chen too well! ”

Lu Chen didn't tell Meat Ball the thoughts that had just popped up in his mind. He talked to Meatball for a few more moments, and after handing him the diet tea, he let him go back first. And when the meat ball was leaving, Lu Chen secretly told him that if he had the opportunity, he would take his mother to Lu Chen's jurisdiction. Lu Chen also saw that the meat ball did not have much affection for King Shou. I'm afraid that Yang Yuhuan's incident last time has made Meatball completely disappointed in his father.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Meatball pondered for a long time. Then, I saw the meat ball nodding and said very seriously, "Thank you, Lu Chen." I'm going to go back and get my mother. And also..... If you can, please spare my father's life. After all, no matter what, I also have his blood flowing in my body" After speaking, the meat ball turned around and left Lu Chen's mansion.

Sure enough, less than two days after Meatball's departure, a messenger came to Yanzhou City with a letter. According to this person, this letter is the will that the leaders of more than a dozen forces, including King Shou, Zhongwu Jiedu Envoy and Wuning Jiedu Envoy, want to express together.

They hoped that Lu Chen could unite with them to resist the rebels in An Lushan in the north.

However, seeing the two big words of union written on this letter, Lu Chen just smiled mockingly. He didn't believe that these forces would really cooperate with him. Even if they really want to cooperate with him, I'm afraid these people will let Lu Chen rush to the front. Moreover, at the end of the letter, these forces actually threatened Lu Chen, if Lu Chen did not join them, I am afraid that they would be jointly 'cleaned up'.

After reading this insincere 'cooperation letter' roughly, Lu Chen directly threw it on the ground and drove the messenger away.

Subsequently, Lu Chen found a pen and paper and wrote a letter in person. After writing it, he called a soldier and asked him to send the letter to An Lushan's general stationed in Cangzhou City.

Hearing Lu Chen's order, the soldier didn't react for a while, and it wasn't until Lu Chen repeated it again that the soldier turned around and left with a shocked face.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then called all the generals in Yanzhou City, asking them to gather all the soldiers under their respective commands and prepare for a big battle at any time. Lu Chen was ready to use the 50,000 troops in Yanzhou City this time, and among the 50,000 troops, nearly 30,000 were recruits recruited not long ago.

Before, when Lu Chen heard Meat Ball say that King Shou was going to force him to fight. An idea has already popped up in my mind to cooperate with An Lushan's generals!

However, the idea is too shocking. So, he didn't tell anyone else about it. After all, most of the soldiers here still regard themselves as the generals of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts. If it weren't for the last resort, Lu Chen was also unwilling to take the risk of betraying his relatives.

However, now that these forces actually want to send themselves to death, Lu Chen can't control so much. What's more, he was not a native of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally he didn't have much sense of belonging to this court.

Soon, the rebel generals stationed in Cangzhou City sent someone to reply a letter to Lu Chen. He expressed his willingness to cooperate with Lu Chen. Moreover, they had already prepared for a big war, as long as Lu Chen's side was ready, they could act at any time.

Lu Chen was not surprised by this reply, after all, this kind of cooperation is beneficial to the rebels.

In the next few days, Lu Chen began to discuss with the rebel generals stationed in Cangzhou how to cooperate, and all the forces around him should be destroyed.

At the same time, Lu Chen also kept urging those craftsmen in the city to speed up the production of parts. Cooperating with An Lushan's subordinates, Lu Chen can be said to be arguing with the tiger, and he must have some hole cards. Otherwise, if one is not careful, the other party is likely to annex him.

On the other side, Lu Chen secretly trained a team of more than 2,000 grenadiers in a secret mountain. These people Lu Chen specially created a very delicate armor for them. After all, their role on the battlefield can sometimes almost determine the outcome of the battle.

In the past few days when Lu Chen was preparing nervously, King Shou and other major forces sent people to send a few letters to Lu Chen again, the content of which was naturally urging him to hurry up and send troops. Because in recent days, the rebels stationed in Cangzhou City have begun to send troops and generals frequently, and it is obvious that there will be a big move.
