Li Jie saw that Bai Heng was doing well, and he knew that he might hear good news.

When Lu Yan walked into the gatehouse, he was still carrying a young man in his twenties and wearing armor.

He immediately waved his hand to stop the two of them from saluting, and asked directly,

"Brother Wen Yao has worked hard, I don't know what to do?"

Lu Yan has no official body, and he is still dressed in white, so he is called by the word "table".

Lu Yan's iconic long black face glowed with a hint of red,

"Back to His Royal Highness, fortunately, the people and horses of the eight towns in the northwest belonging to the left wing of the Shence Army were all brought back by the ministers, and the people and horses of the five towns in the north belonging to the right Shence Army came too quickly because of the Yellow Nest, and the time was in a hurry, only the people of the two towns returned to Chang'an, and the other three towns have all rushed to the new equal land, just waiting for the opportunity!"

Li Jie leaned forward, his eyes flickering.

"How many people and horses did you bring back?"

Lu Yan glanced at the people beside him, and the young man bowed and saluted,

"Back to His Royal Highness, Purun, Chongxin, Dingping, Guihua, Dingyuan City, Yong'an City, Jayang, Tianxing Towns have a total of 13,000 people, these are all subordinate to the right wing, Fengtian and Qingzhou two towns have a total of 4,000 soldiers, plus 1,000 of the old troops of the Qianling Yicheng Army Kang Military Envoy, a total of 18,000 people, and another 60,000 people are with them, including 2,000 united soldiers, 70,000 stones of grain and grass!"

The Solidarity Army was the equivalent of the militia of later generations, generally serving as a supplement to the various military towns, and sometimes the combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the regular army.

But Li Jie didn't think much about this, but was attracted by the 1,000 old troops of the Yicheng Army who were supposed to guard the Qianling.

Aren't these people untouchable?

Without Li Yi's holy decree, if you dare to leave your post without authorization, I am afraid that the responsibility is not light!

"Who are you? Who dared to transfer the old headquarters of the Yicheng Army without authorization? ”

He felt that although this young man had an average appearance, he was heroic and energetic, and he was by no means an ordinary person.

The man clenched his fists,

"The last general Fengtian commanded Song Wentong, who originally belonged to the Boye Army, and then entered the Left Wing Shence Army and was ordered to garrison Fengtian."

Song Wentong?

Li Jie rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, feeling that the name seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Lu Yan on the side immediately smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, you may not know that the old department of Yicheng has the Iron Scroll of the Former Emperor in its hands, and it has the right to act cheaply, unless it is strictly ordered by His Majesty today, the movement is not too restricted." ”

Li Jie nodded, this is right.

These veterans are all people who can fight well, and they are also extremely good at judging the situation, as soon as the Huangchao army comes, if the various military towns around Chang'an are not twisted into a rope, they will inevitably be broken by each one.

These military towns were ordered first, but they did not dare to assemble together without authorization, which aroused the suspicion of the DPRK and China, and presumably the people of the people must have been panicked at that time.

And Lu Yan went to dispatch with his Divine Wisdom Army Fish Talisman, and they naturally couldn't ask for it, so they responded one after another.

At this point, it is much stronger than those state capital defense envoys, who only think about how to dodge the front of the army,

After calculating the current available troops, I am afraid that it has exceeded 40,000 people, and he, the commander-in-chief of the whole army, finally barely has some face.

"I'll clean up your bunch of wallgrass when I have time!"

After snorting secretly in his heart, he took out a piece of paper from the many documents on the case and handed it to Lu Yan.

"Brother Wen Yao, Lingzun Lu Xianggong's new funeral, as a son of man filial piety first, please go back to the house to keep the spirit, this is the document after the king and all the Zai Cheng discussed, first give me a hand, be an observer of Gyeonggi, as soon as the mourning period expires, you will go to work!"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and Song Wentong on the side secretly took a long breath.

The Observer is subordinate to the Privy Council, and has this position in every state capital in the country, and is in charge of the military secrets in various places, although the rank is not high, but the power is very great, and it is a fat shortage in the eyes of everyone.

Moreover, Lu Yan's is still an observer envoy in the entire Gyeonggi Province, but in terms of power, I am afraid that he is still above those generals of the North and South Yawei!

Now Li Jie not only has the identity of the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army, the identity of the envoy of the various provinces in the Guannai, but also the responsibility and power of a privy envoy, so many people have great objections to Li Yi handing over almost all the military power to King Shou.

If he has a disobedient heart, the threat to the throne will be too great.

"Your Highness, this..."

Lu Yan didn't dare to take it, so he wanted to excuse himself.

Li Jie waved his hand,

"You look pleasing to the eye, but you also have to look at the ability, if you make a mess of everything, don't blame others for losing the official, just step down, this king has other things to deal with, so I won't delay your filial piety!"

actually drove Lu Yan home...

Song Wentong wanted to withdraw with him, but was called back by Li Jie.

"Commander Song, the Yicheng Army is not far from Fengtian, you must be familiar with the lieutenant colonel of that army, why don't you see this person here?"

Song Wentong immediately bowed,

"Back to Your Highness, after the Yicheng Army entered the customs, it was originally under the command of the Yulin Army, but because of his loyalty and bravery, and because of his proximity to Fengtian Town, the former emperor has always been under the command of my Shence Army."

Oh!

Li Jie immediately became more interested in this person.

In other words, that group of veterans is currently under the command of Song Wentong.

A young man in his twenties can actually command a thousand veteran soldiers, and his ability must be extremely outstanding.

He pointed to the low couch beside him and motioned for the other party to sit down, and ordered a eunuch in the palace who followed him to serve a cup of tea.

"In this case, this king will give you a task, from today on, this king will order you to be the deputy commander of the Chang'an garrison, scatter these thousand people into the army, supervise their combat skills, in order to make this group of guys who may not even kill chickens grow up as soon as possible, are you willing?"

Today's commander of Chang'an is Qu Hao, the general of the left prison guard, and his prestige in the army is not low, if someone suddenly takes his place, Li Jie is worried that something will go bad, so he only gives Song Wentong a false position as a deputy envoy, and the right is to be a combat adviser and staff officer.

Song Wentong didn't shirk at all, and after gladly accepting the order, Li Jie wanted to empty his busy brain for a long time, so he talked to him.

Song Wentong talked eloquently, and popularized various key points in the defense of the city for him, and even squatted on the map of the Guannei Road on the case to point out the key places in each town one by one, so that Li Jie finally had a clear preliminary understanding of the situation in the city.

According to the results of Song Wentong's analysis, as long as Chang'an can hold out for a month, once the troops from all over the country who came to King Qin gather outside Wuguan and Tongguan, Huang Chao will inevitably retreat to protect himself if he does not want to be caught in the internal and external attacks.

But it will take a month, can Chang'an hold on?

Seeing Li Jie frowning, Song Wentong persuaded: "Your Highness, the march and battle pay attention to the right time, place and people, in the eyes of the last general, it is a cold winter, your strategy of leading the water in the city to prepare under the city wall is extremely brilliant, his yellow nest is pouring into the nest, and the whole army will inevitably be short of food, grass and warm clothing, which will take the lead in the sky." ”

"And since the pass is known as the land of the four passes, there is no danger to defend in the pass, but on the other hand, this pass is more like a big pocket, as long as King Qin's soldiers and horses recapture the lost pass, he will be attacked by the enemy on his back, which is undoubtedly the way to die, which is geographically advantageous."

At this point, he didn't continue.

In this regard, Chang'an already occupies a natural commanding height, whether it is the identity of Li Yi as the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, or the entire Guannei Dao has always been firmly in the hands of the imperial court, compared with other states and provinces, it can really be regarded as the desire of the people.

It's just that this King Shou actually wants to block all the city gates, and he also has to implement the "military management" strategy to tie up the people in the city in this war, no matter how you look at it, it is not a benevolent move...

Although he also thinks this method is good, it is a bad character!

I don't know how many people are scolding behind it?

It's better not to say it, just understand it yourself.

It was already dark, and Li Jie asked Song Wentong to sit in front of the map after he went back, combining Song Wentong and others' various opinions on the battle to defend the city, and wanted to completely sort out a clear idea.

He swiped his fingers along the military towns of Chang'an, Xingping, Wugong, and Fufeng all the way to the northwest, and suddenly stopped when he moved to a place.

Qishan!

Li Jie suddenly showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, looking at the crescent moon rising in the sky outside the gatehouse, and muttered to himself with some playfulness: "Song Wentong...

So you're him!"
