Lu Chen walked to the huge sand table, and pointed his hand at several cities in the sand table.

"Now there are only twelve cities left in the Tang Dynasty."

There were only twelve red Tang flags on the sand table.

Seeing this scene, the generals' breathing became rapid.

Lu Chen continued: "What we need to discuss today is which route we want to choose."

As he said that, Lu Chen's fingertips fell on a nearby city, "You can go up, pass through a city in the western border, and then attack all the way to Shen'an City."

Lu Chen's fingers passed through these cities little by little with his voice, and finally landed above Shen'an City.

"Fighting from here, you need to take down a total of six cities to attack Shen'an City."

The Western Region is also Li Chengyin's fiefdom. Even if it is not included in the city passing through the Western Region, Lu Chen and others must seize five cities before they can reach Shen'an City.

Lu Chen's voice changed, "Or, go straight to the east."

"If you go east, there are only two cities to get to Shen'an City."

The generals looked at these two routes, with hesitation, and it was obviously difficult to make a decision.

After passing through the Western Front, it takes longer to pull the entire front line.

This means that other variables are likely to appear.

However, when you walk eastward, there is a natural danger in the next city, Changqu City.

There is a canyon that is in it, and it is not easy to pass through it.

If you are not careful, you will be controlled by others here.

"Your Highness, why not go through the Western Frontier."

Although it takes longer, it is safer.

"It will be faster to face the east." Lu Chen said indifferently.

Gao Mu frowned, "No, one is faster, the other is more stable."

"So quickly and quickly." The blue eyes were calm, and Lu Chen said the choice he was biased towards.

"Does Your Highness have a solution?"

Lu Chen nodded slightly, "Changqu City may directly cut off the iron chain bridge."

The iron chain bridge is the only way to cross the canyon. Once the iron chain bridge is cut off, it will be difficult for the Qin army to cross the canyon.

This is why many generals are unwilling to choose to attack Changqu City.

"But, as long as we can pass by one person, this iron chain bridge can be rebuilt."

Gao Mu breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his arm, "Your Highness, someone will definitely be sent to guard this position on the other side."

"At that time, we built the iron chain bridge and they would definitely find it. There was only one person, and I'm afraid it was a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

"So, it is still unknown whether this iron chain bridge can be built."

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Gao Mu, and asked, "General, think that I am a sheep?"

Gao Mu was slightly stunned, "Your Highness wants to come here in person?"

"Well," Lu Chen looked calm and said, "I can directly solve the guards on the other side."

In this way, it is natural that it doesn’t matter whether it is discovered or not, and the Qin army can control the canyon.

There are still countless guards across the canyon, how can one deal with it?

A general was about to ask this when he suddenly remembered the destroyed Golden Armored Guard in the Tibetan Soldier Valley of the Tang Dynasty.

The empress of the Tang Dynasty was the most loyal and the most elite unit in the Tang Dynasty. She was destroyed by a few bad commanders.

Thinking of this, everyone's doubts were instantly suppressed.

If your Highness said that, it is really possible.

"After the canyon is controlled, Changqu City is no problem."

Gao Mu thought about it carefully and found that if this was the case, it would be feasible.

As long as it can be guaranteed, the Qin army can cross the canyon smoothly.

but……

"Where are those weapons of ours?"

"The muskets and ammunition can be transported by iron cable bridges, but those ten cannons are probably in trouble."

Although Gao Mu often hears Lu Chen say these words, he still feels a little awkward when he speaks them.

"Through the Western Frontier, we pass by."

Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed a line on the sand table.

When you arrive at Changqu City, you are not the only way to go through the canyon.

Go north, pass west, and then south to reach Changqu City, but you need to surround three cities.

Lu Chen methodically explained his plan, "divided it into ten caravans, each caravan cannon."

...

When Lu Chen and others discussed the offensive plan, the battle report on the border reached Li Linying's Dragon Case.

The news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty and then across Jiuzhou at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Chen descended four cities in a row!

All the cities seemed to be made of paper, and they had no resistance in front of Lu Chen.

Li Linying's lips were pale and her hair was shaking.

how so?

Judging from the time of the battle report, Lu Chen had already attacked the second day after Li Chengyin left.

Moreover, in the blink of an eye, several cities had been taken down.

The transmission of the battle report could not even catch up with Lu Chen's speed of breaking the city.

"How is that possible?"

Li Linying opened her mouth and murmured.

Haven’t you found a solution to the artifact?

Why did it become, useless?

Li Linying lowered her head and stared blankly at the memorial on the dragon table, which read, "A giant steel thing."

what to do?

She had never heard of this thing, not to mention that Li Linying was in a mess and her mind was blank, leaving only the idea of ​​Lu Chen getting closer and closer to Shen'an City.

If she had been before, she would have had fantasies, thinking that Lu Chen would have thought about his previous friendship.

But after repeated temptations before, Li Linying has realized that Lu Chen will not only no longer think about the past friendship, but also must take revenge on her.

Li Linying shook her lips, "I did nothing wrong."

If he hadn't attacked Lu Chen at the beginning, sooner or later, he would have put me in vain.

However, in the current situation, Li Linying is helpless.

Could it be that no one in the Tang Dynasty can...!

Li Linying suddenly widened her eyes, and there was another person!

Li Chengyin!

Li Chengyin's actions on that day indeed blocked Lu Chen's pace. Perhaps, this time, he had a way to solve this problem.

Thinking of this, Li Linying smiled on her face, "Come on! Xuanzhao Prince of Prince An returns to Shen'an City!"

"Order him to come and protect him!"

When the court officials received this news, they were anxious and the first thing they thought of was Li Chengyin.

When recalling that Li Linying demoted the King of Qin to Prince An, the ministers were indignant and a little scared.

They were afraid that Lu Chen's incident happened again in Prince An.

After all, Li Linying did not do this kind of thing very kindly.

The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty who were originally just to submit memorials have now gone to the imperial study room to ask for Li Linying and forced Li Linying to restore Li Chengyin's identity as the King of Qin.

Li Linying was both shocked and frightened.

After several struggles, I finally agreed.

At present, the first thing to do is to appease Li Chengyin first and let him deal with Lu Chen. The rest can be planned later.
Chapter completed!
