Two days later, Zhao Chong led the army to capture Lanqing, rectified it slightly, and notified Zhang Feihu to take over the defense of Lanqing, that is, to take all the soldiers and horses and go to the direction of Naqu.

"Those prisoners of war, what does Lord Lu think?" During the march, Zhao Chong turned his head and asked Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't answer directly, according to his thoughts, those people may be forced, or they may be for money, of course, they may also be for the illusory military exploits and the division given to them by Rexi and Zhuo Xu, but after all, there are more than 8,000 people, it doesn't matter if he is not ruthless enough, or he is a woman, he doesn't want them to be exterminated for treason, "According to the convention, what should I do." ”

Zhao Chongdao: "According to the laws of the country, treason, the three clans will be punished." ”

Lu Chen sighed almost inaudibly and said, "Then what did General Zhao think about me?" ”

Zhao Chongdao: "Some people deserve to die, some people may just eat for a mouthful of food, the people have no power and powerless, just to live, it can't be said right or wrong." But the family is innocent after all, if it is a hundred, in the emperor's place, maybe it is better to intercede, after all, the new emperor ascended the throne, presumably he didn't want to kill more. ”

Lu Chen understood what Zhao Chong meant, if he killed all these people directly, the emperor might not pursue it anymore, so as not to have a ruthless reputation, "In this case, how about General Zhao training a little and using them as the forward?" ”

Zhao Chong looked at Lu Chen with a little surprise in his eyes, and answered, "Lord Lu...... Is this trying to give them a way out? ”

Lu Chen looked up at the soldiers behind him, and said, "Who is not raised by his father's mother, if they can survive, they will be fateful, and find a way to transfer them to the southeast to fight against the Japanese." If he dies, it can be regarded as loyalty to the country, and the crime of Zhulian, I will go to the emperor to ask for kindness. After speaking, he sighed again, and continued: "It's just that this matter should not be publicized, otherwise where is the dignity of the country's law, and how should those soldiers who died in the chaos deal with themselves." General Zhao must be able to grasp the scale. ”

Zhao Chongdao: "Lord Lu trusts me? ”

Lu Chen nodded: "General Zhao doesn't believe me?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying a word.

It turns out that this is seeing each other and hating late, and this is seeing the truth in adversity. I have never measured the height of the emperor's sky, nor have I surveyed the depth of the thick soil, but the road ahead is wide and smooth, and the colleagues around him have lofty ambitions, so you can move forward and fight side by side, needless to say.

"Childe, Xuanying sent a reply from the second son." Lu Tong rode from the back of the team.

Lu Chen didn't hesitate, he took it apart and took a look, the second brother was really still outside Naqu City, and when he heard that Lu Chen came over, he was naturally concerned, and in addition, he also talked about the previous battle situation and the characteristics of the battle with Guangqi. Lu Lei mentioned in the letter that he was different from Guangqi and other lieutenant generals under Rexi and Zhuo, he was Rexi and Zhuo's teacher, and he was still more than seventy years old this year, but his body was still handsome, so although he couldn't lead his troops to fight, he was skilled in military tactics in the rear arrangement, which gave them a headache. Twenty years ago, when Lu Lin led his troops to attack the Qinghai-Tibet region, he was the military advisor of the defenders, and later when the previous Turkic king Tashi saw that the form was not good and opened the city gate to surrender, Emperor Xianjia thought that he took the initiative to surrender, not only did not punish him, but also made Tashi Cidan as the Turkic king, hereditary replacement.

I don't know if the hereditary is sincere, after all, Tashi has no biological children the next day, and there is still a battle for who will be on the hereditary throne.

If the Turkic king was not punished, there was naturally no need to punish a small military advisor. It's just that Emperor Xianjia didn't expect that this military advisor boiled the Turkic king until he died, and also boiled him to the funeral, not only did he not die, but also supported Tashi Cidan's nephews Reshi and Zhuo to ascend to the throne, causing such a big chaos. From this point of view, the ability to resist with General Lu Lin for three years was a great credit to Guangqi.

Judging from Lu Lei's letter, Mi Fei insisted on leading his troops to attack Naqu for nearly half a month, no matter how they scolded and sneak attacked, they always couldn't cross the city wall, and attacked several times, with heavy losses but little effect. On the days when Rexi and Zhuo were away, He Guangqi kept Naqu without leaking, and the day before yesterday I heard that Rexi and Zhuo had also returned to the city, no matter from the perspective of troops or strategy, presumably the defense would be tighter.

"Heguang Qi, I just happened to see the name on General Lu's march record, and he is really alive. This person is especially good at defending the city, and the Turks have him, so he assisted the Turkic king to defend for a year and a half under the strong attack of General Lu, and now he must be old and spicy. Zhao Chong also remembered and answered.

Lu Chen nodded: "Consumption, it's not that we can't afford it, they are shrinking into a city, they must be more anxious than us, but this is the next step." ”

Zhao Chong echoed and opened the map casually: "Exactly, besides, it will be cold here in two months, and our soldiers will not adapt to the weather, and their combat power will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is not impossible to be counterattacked." ”

I don't know if I learned it from Xia Ye, Lu Chen didn't know where to pick up a branch, and pointed to a place in the north of Naqu: "This river? ”

No one around spoke, but Lu Yiyuan, who had never spoken along the way, rarely answered: "Unlikely, this is the Nanji River, on the one hand, this river is not the only water source in Nagqu, on the other hand, the nearest upstream of the Nanji River is in Nanrong County, and the downstream is Lanqing, which is a living water source with a very large water flow, whether it is throttling or poisoning, it is not a good strategy." “

Everyone looked sideways at Lu Yiyuan when they heard this, especially Zhao Chong, along the way, he basically didn't see Lu Yiyuan have any suggestions for marching and fighting, and he was one of the few people brought over by Lu Chen, and he also told him to take good care of him, although Zhao Chong was far away in Guanzhong, but his vision was also very comparable, Lu Yiyuan's all-round temperament was by no means an ordinary person at first glance, so although he was curious, he did not send someone to inquire about his identity.

Now listening to him clearly analyzing the mountains and rivers on the map, everyone has a feeling of Lu Chen's upper body when they see him. The map is very sketchy, and few people are so familiar with the landscape unless they are locals or travelers.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Yiyuan smiled with relief and said, "I'...... Because of my family, I have seen the landscape maps of various parts of the country since I was a child, and I have never heard of an earthquake or river diversion here in recent years, so I estimate that the mountains and rivers should not change. ”

Zhao Chong heard him say a few words vaguely, but suddenly remembered someone: "Yes...... After Lu Anbang, who served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites? ”

Lu Yiyuan smiled and didn't speak.

Zhao Chong understood, and his judgment was correct. Lu Anbang is known as the world's first public opinion, if it is his descendant, it is really reasonable to look at the national mountains and rivers landform map since childhood. It's just that Lu Anbang has been dead for many years, and I haven't heard of who he passed on his skills to.

Unexpectedly, it was passed on to his descendants. I didn't expect that the person Lu Chen brought with him at random would also have such a big background.

Lu Chen was actually a little surprised, he took Lu Yiyuan with him, on the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to do some military feats, so that he could enter the court again logically, and on the other hand, he simply wanted him to suffer some hardships. I didn't expect him to have the talent to learn in this area, no wonder he was sent to supervise the construction of Jingjiang Dati before.

Lu Chen saw that he didn't want to say any more, so he changed the topic and said, "In that case, what advice do you have for capturing that song?" ”

Lu Yiyuan took the branch in Lu Chen's hand, pointed to the north of Naqu and said: "Although the water attack cannot be realized, the weather in the northwest is dry in winter, and the northwest wind prevails, if the rocket is fired from the northwest to the south, it must be easier than a strong attack." “

Zhao Chong didn't speak, and Lu Chen said: "If it is attacked from the northwest, the nearest route is still from the junction of Anshan and Naqu, which is not a bad way." ”

He Gang said: "If we do the same as Ba Qing, first disguise some people in the city to do internal response, it should be better to fight inside and outside." ”

Zhao Chong shook his head and said: "That song is not as good as Ba Qing, now it is basically restricted in and out, relying on disguise, it is difficult to mix in large-scale people." If you mix in one or two, not to mention the danger, the effect is not too great. ”

Lu Chen listened to everyone's discussion, looked at the map and didn't speak again, as if he was thinking about something.

"What if it's the Ming Xiu Plank Road and the darkness of Chen Cang?" Lu Chen asked softly.

"What's the explanation?"

Lu Chen said unhurriedly: "Sent people to attack on the surface, and secretly sent people to dig tunnels to beat him up quickly." ”

Zhao Chong pondered for a moment and said, "Now, this is also the best way. Now that it's decided, let General Mi know, and start work as quickly as possible. In a few months, the ground will be frozen, and I won't be able to dig if I want to. ”

As for the candidate for the attack, neither of them mentioned it, but everyone knew it.

"Brother Lu, you can help see where the land is soft and suitable."

Lu Yiyuan didn't speak, and went to get busy.

"General Zhao, I don't need me here, I think I still have to go to General Mi's army to make our plan realize faster." Lu Chen said with a serious face.

Zhao Chong knew that on the one hand, he wanted to end this battle faster, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the eldest brother, human nature, so he didn't force him to stay, but just said take care and let him go.

"General, there is someone outside the camp who claims to be General Lu's third brother and asks to see him." Yi Chang Sui opened the curtain of the big tent and walked in to report.

Mi Fei turned his head sideways to look at the position of his lower hand, Lu Lei was processing various documents in the army one by one, and waited for him to circle the important content and make simple annotations and suggestions before giving it to Mi Fei for review.

Hearing the report, Lu Lei instantly raised his head from the paperwork.

Mi Fei said: "According to the letter sent by Xuanying, it's time today, it's really before the war at this time, it shouldn't be fine, go and invite it over." ”

Lu Lei got up and arched his hand: "General Xie Mi trusts." ”

In front of the Chinese army's tent, the chiefs on both sides opened a tent door with one person, and Lu Chen stepped into the tent and said: "In the lower palace division Lu Chen, I have seen General Mi." ”

Mi Fei stood up, walked quickly to the bottom of the hall, stretched out his hand to support Lu Chen's arms, and said, "Lord Lu, don't be polite, it's hard to come from afar?" The northwest is not as good as Chang'an and the capital, Lu Leixian's nephew has been adapting to it for a long time, are you okay? Are the elders in the family in good health? I met your grandfather a few years ago, and he was so personable and imposing, so it's no wonder that both of you brothers are so talented. ”

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, Lu Chen saw that Mi Fei was so enthusiastic, and followed his words back: "Thank you General Mi for remembering, the elders in the family are still healthy." ”

Mi Fei has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he not see Lu Chen's reluctance. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, he smiled and said: "Lord Lu has worked hard to come from afar, your two brothers must have not seen each other for many years, Lu Leixian's nephew, you take Lord Lu down to rest first, and you two brothers can also catch up with the old days, and wait for the evening, I will arrange a reception banquet for Lord Lu to receive the wind and wash the dust." ”

As Lu Lei entered a tent not far from the side, Lu Chen glanced at Lu Lei up and down, and said, "Second brother, are you okay, you are not injured." ”

Lu Lei himself is stronger than Lu Chen, he hasn't seen him for a few years, and now he is a little more domineering and tough.

"It's okay, I'm fine. It's you, what are you doing in this kind of place, you don't know the danger. Lu Lei said and stepped forward and hugged Lu Chen tightly.

Lu Chen also sighed, the two brothers hadn't seen each other for a few years, and they wanted to have a family reunion in the capital during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they didn't expect that not only did the second brother not go back, but even he was thousands of miles away. In the blink of an eye, the moon is full again, I don't know if my father, mother, eldest brother and fourth sister are still in the capital, if they are still there, whether they adapt to the climate and food in the capital, my father will still play the piano to my mother, is the eldest brother still so serious, and the fourth sister still wants to make contributions.

On weekdays, the two brothers are not children and daughters, but Lu Lei has not returned home for many years, and Lu Chen has not seen his family for more than half a year, so he sank into emotions for a while and no one spoke.
