Chapter 535

Lu que then said to Shen Zhang, "Shen Shuai, please send a letter to ask commander Gu about Guanbei. If I'm not wrong, there should be a small number of animals crossing the city wall to reach the North Valley. Maybe there are still some animals escaping from Lingshan on both sides."

"Good." Shen Zhang nodded and asked, "do you want to push the army to the river port to pursue these remnant herds?"

"Those who escaped from the North Valley, even if we don't talk about them, Gu Tongling will catch all of them. As for those who escaped from Lingshan, Lu Kuo bowed his head and thought for a while. He continued," the number of those who escaped from Lingshan should not be very large, but they must be light and healthy beasts. If we send troops to pursue them, it will take a lot of time. Let's give them to Marquis Wu'an. "

"So good." Shen Zhang nodded his head.

"By the way, Shen Shuai, Zhennan pass has been destroyed. What's the plan of the thunder army?" Lu que suddenly thought of something and asked.

Hearing this, Shen Zhang looked at Lu Que in surprise. He didn't understand what Lu que meant. At this time, all the seven armies in southern Xinjiang were under Lu Que's control. If he had to give orders directly, there was no need to consult him.

Seeing that Shen Zhang didn't understand what he meant, Lu que said with a smile, "the benlei army guards zhennanguan and has made great contributions. The symbol of the benlei army, benlei heavy riding, is more than half damaged. I mean, does Shen Shuai want the benlei army to set up a camp or continue to attack Nanli kingdom."

"Marshal Lu, the training of the thunder army can be restored in three days. We can fight." Shen Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard that as a soldier, what he was most afraid of was never war, but singing and dancing. Hearing whether Lu que wanted to take part in the battle of Nanli, Shen Zhang naturally agreed.

This is the first battle that determines the ownership of Southern Xinjiang. As long as Nanli is destroyed, the whole southern Xinjiang will fall into the hands of Daqian. At that time, Daqian's main opponent will become the northern grassland Three Kingdoms. In other words, this may be the last battle of Southern Xinjiang. As a thunder army guarding the southern border of Daqian for generations, it is natural to take part in this battle.

"So good." With that, Lu que fell into silence. According to his previous plan, after the collapse of the animal tide, he would gather the seven legions of Changqing, FanFeng, Huxiao, benlei, Yulin, Fengxiang and Jinghai in his hands to attack Nanli from the three directions of land and sea, so as to wipe out this Dynasty which has been established for nearly a thousand years, and make the 36 counties in southern Xinjiang completely under the rule of Daqian.

But now Lu que hesitated, because he didn't know the attitude of the imperial capital, especially the emperor's uncle in Ziji hall. The reason why he became the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang was because of the emperor's trust and expectation, and also because he had to. Among the generals of Daqian, there were only three generals who were able to take charge of several legions and fight against the enemy. The first was naturally his father Lu Chun, the second was Hou Bai Yi of Wu'an, and the third was himself.

At that time, Daqian didn't want the north and the south to fight at the same time, so he had to go to northern Xinjiang by his father, who had destroyed the Qingyang Empire and had a great reputation on the grassland, to frighten the Three Kingdoms on the grassland. Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an, is good at marching and setting up the battle lines. He plans to win the battle before the two armies. The situation in southern Xinjiang must have a person who is good at planning the overall situation to be competent. Obviously, Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an is not the best candidate. This is why he was worshipped as the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang to take charge of the overall situation.

But at that time, he held many legions because of the outbreak of animal tide. Once the animal tide broke through zhennanguan pass and crossed Lingshan mountain, the whole south of the imperial capital was in danger of being occupied. But now the main force of the animal tide has been defeated, and the vast majority of the animals are buried in the wilderness of Guannan and the sea of fire in zhennanguan. The Daqian crisis has been lifted. Under such circumstances, can the imperial court rest assured to put half of Da Qian's troops in his hands? If he leads all the legions to the south, will the emperor feel that he has the suspicion of supporting troops and self-respect?

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu que didn't have a result. The emperor's heart was unpredictable. He couldn't guess how the emperor would treat him as a commander in chief with a heavy army after he learned of the great victory of zhennanguan.

According to the truth, whether it is the emperor and his ministers, or his uncle and nephew, Qianhuang is very kind to him. He put half of the army under the command of a 17-year-old boy, and handed over the inheritance of his family and country and the destiny of his country to a young man. This has never happened before. He should not have scruples, nor should he guess the emperor's mind.

However, Lu Qian clearly knows that when the Qingyang empire collapsed more than 20 years ago, his father and mother wanted to continue to sweep the grassland, but the imperial edict of the capital made this opportunity become a fantasy. Moreover, after returning to China, the Tianhuo army led by his father and the Fengxiang army led by his mother were recalled to the imperial capital for repair. At that time, his father gave the general team to Gu Huairen, then deputy commander of the Tianhuo army, and military adviser Bai Lijia, on the ground that the Tianhuo army needed to supplement a large number of soldiers and retrain to become an army. He began to write military books behind closed doors.

Lu que knew that his father Lu Chun could not leave the army without the slightest reason, nor could he hand over the general power without the slightest reason. Then there is only one reason, that is, the fear from Ziji hall. Only in this way can we explain why my father has never been involved in any affairs of the Tianhuo army in the two or three years since then until his parents were trapped and disappeared. You know, he created the Tianhuo army himself.

At that time, his father had made great achievements in the northern Xinjiang war and the destruction of Qingyang empire. Almost no one in the whole Aoki continent knew his fame. At that time, Nanli and Tianxing sent envoys to form an alliance and pay tribute to Daqian because of his father's reasons.

Now he is almost the same as his father, even because he defeated the tide of Jedi beasts. As long as the news goes back to Daqian, his reputation and influence will be higher than that of his father, will the emperor in Ziji palace fear him, and will those loyal courtiers persuade the emperor to guard against him because he has too much military power and prestige, Will those aristocratic courtiers who are against each other's stand gossip in the court. All this made Lu have to hesitate and deal with it carefully.

After thinking for a long time, Lu que said, "Shen Shuai, when the fire goes out in Guanzhong, you will send a message to the soldiers of the thunder army to join us here through the ruins of zhennanguan. As for when to go south to attack Nanli, we'd better ask the emperor to wait for his majesty to decide. Moreover, in this war, we suffered a lot of casualties, and most of our weapons were damaged, so it will take some time to repair and replenish them. "

Shen Zhang frowned when he heard the words. It was said that the soldiers were so expensive and fast that if he asked the imperial capital for permission, he would certainly delay the fight. However, Lu que was the commander in chief, and what he said was reasonable. Shen Zhang could only nod his head. Then Shen Zhang asked, "how do you dispatch the three guards, the left and right Zhuozhuo guards and the left Zhuozhuo guards?"

"He ordered Sanwei to enter zhennanguan and clean up the ruins. At the same time, he sent a letter to Bai Shuai to give him the command of Sanwei." Lu que said without thinking about it.

When Shen Zhang heard the words, he suddenly shot a sharp light in his eyes and looked at Lu que without blinking. If he didn't understand Lu Que's scruples at this time, he would not be the leader of Qianhuang's Secret residence. However, Shen Zhang thought that if he and Lu que got along with each other, he would make the same choice, for nothing else, because they were ministers, and they could only be ministers.
