Chapter 1364: Lu Bu's Daughter
In Jinyang, west of the city, when tens of thousands of Tang troops arrived one after another, everyone in Chen Gong did not understand that they had been deceived. It should not be said that the Yuci garrison was deceived by the Tang army. Now there are 15,000 Tang army cavalry outside Jinyang City alone, and this does not include the general flag of the Tang army's general Zhao Yun.
In addition to these cavalry, there are as many as 40,000 to 50,000 infantry and auxiliary troops. If calculated in this way, the Tang army that invaded Taiyuan from Leping this time has nearly 100,000 people. Now, although there are 10,000 troops in Jinyang City, But the real combat power is pitifully small. Except for the thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry, there were only two thousand imperial guards guarding the palace and two thousand soldiers guarding Jinyang City.
The remaining five thousand soldiers were the last soldiers with better qualifications selected from the soldiers forcibly recruited from the alien territory, but these were also the five thousand soldiers who were reluctantly selected after several selections and generals were selected. These five thousand soldiers usually pretend to be fine in Jinyang City, but if they are really used to participate in battle, especially against the elite Tang army, they will probably be in trouble.
Above the gate tower of the west gate of Jinyang City, Chen Gong and Wei Xu stood on the tower, quietly watching the Tang army camped a few miles outside the west gate. The Tang army must be well aware of the situation in Jinyang City, otherwise, they would not camp so blatantly a few miles outside the west gate.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the city. Just when Wei Xu was about to scold him, a general went up to the city tower to report: "To the Prime Minister, Lieutenant, the princess has arrived!"
"The princess is here?" Both of them were stunned. As Lu Bu's only heir, Lu Lingqi rarely appeared in front of people since she was named a princess. She basically stayed in the palace. You know, before Lu Bu became king, Lu Lingqi was also a military general, and in terms of ability, she was not inferior to Wei Xu Cao Xing's generals.
After hearing this, the two of them were about to go downstairs to greet them. When they turned around, they saw that Lu Lingqi had already climbed onto the tower. They saw that she was not wearing palace clothes, but a military uniform and armor, holding a small weapon in her hand. What number is Fang Tian's painted halberd?
"I've met the princess!" The two of them said hurriedly;
"Lingqi has met the Prime Minister and her uncle. You two don't need to be polite!" Lu Lingqi returned a gift to the two of them, then walked behind the railing of the tower, looked up at the busy Tang Army camp outside the city, and said: "Prime Minister, uncle, I wonder if Jinyang City can be defended?"
After hearing this, the two looked at each other, and both saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. In the end, Wei Xu stood up. He first retreated all the others inside the tower, then looked at the Tang army outside the city, and finally whispered: "With the current plan, we can only fight to the death." Well, fortunately, Jinyang City has high walls and thick walls, and there is plenty of money and food in the city. If the soldiers are..."

"What do you mean, uncle, there are not enough soldiers in the city now?" Lu Lingqi heard this and asked quickly;
Wei Xu also knew that Lu Lingqi did not know the current military situation of Zhao State, so he gave her a brief explanation of the situation. Only then did Lu Lingqi realize that her father had brought Zhao State to such a state.
"When will father's troops and horses be able to turn around? And when will Wei's reinforcements arrive?"
"The king now only has more than 10,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry in his hands. Even if he adds the cavalry in the hands of General Zhang Liao and General Cao Xing, the number is only 20,000. What's more, General Zhang Liao's troops are still in Shuofang, and the water from far away can't attack those close by. Thirsty."
"Yes, even though the king led more than ten thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry back, princess, please see, the leading general of the Tang army now is not Pingbei general Zhao Yun, but Dian Wei, the personal guard commander of Tang Wang Huangfu Chaobo. You know, Dian Wei Although Wei was the commander of the personal guards of the Tang Dynasty, he was not a general in charge of the army. "
"Therefore, there must be someone else leading the Tang army. But among the Tang army, there are only a handful of people with higher status than Zhi Dianwei.
There are only Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun. If you calculate it like this, at least one thing about the news coming back from Yuci City is correct, that is, the leading general of the Tang army this time should undoubtedly be Zhao Yun. "
"It's just that there is no general flag of Zhao Yun outside the city, not even the figure of the white horse Yi Cong. The only possibility is that Zhao Yun has temporarily left, and the one who can let Zhao Yun personally lead the army to fight is the king. Therefore, After discussing with the Prime Minister, I feel that Zhao Yun has probably led his troops northward, preparing to encircle and annihilate the king's army."
The three of them were talking, and the Tang Army's camp outside the city was almost built. At this moment, the south gate of the camp was opened, and a large army came out, with five thousand cavalry and nearly ten thousand infantry. They left After the camp, they headed south without looking back.
Seeing this situation, Wei Xu said to Lu Lingqi again: "If there is nothing wrong, this army should go to Nanguan to meet Huangfu Chaobo's army."
When Lu Lingqi heard this, her expression suddenly changed. Even though she didn't know much about the situation of the war, with the help of Wei Xu's brief introduction just now, she could imagine that once the hundreds of thousands of troops led by the Tang Army entered the hinterland of Taiyuan, Zhao The country is really helpless.
But they can't do anything now. They know clearly why this Tang army went south, but they can only watch helplessly.
"Is there really no way out?" Lv Lingqi looked at Chen Gong and Wei Xu expectantly, hoping to get some good news from them, but all she saw was the two shaking their heads and sighing.
"I am incompetent!" Chen Gong bowed his head with a red face;
"Prime Minister, please don't do this. A good cook cannot cook without rice. Now Zhao State does not have enough soldiers and horses. It is not easy for the Prime Minister to maintain the current situation." Although Lv Lingqi did not leave the palace, she seemed to know nothing about the situation outside, but in fact, Lv Bu often talked about the affairs of the court with Yan in the palace.
In addition, Lv Lingqi was not like Lv Bu. She still read a lot of books, especially after Lv Bu established the country. There was nothing else to do in the palace. Every day, she practiced martial arts and read books. So in terms of the four-dimensional attributes of the generals, her martial arts and command values reached 80 plus, while her internal affairs and intelligence were not as low as Lv Bu's, basically reaching 50 or 60.
Lu Bu also thought about finding a good husband for her, but Lu Bu's requirements were too high. He thought his daughter was a princess, so he wanted to find the eldest son of other princes, or at least the legitimate son, to marry her. But he didn't know that among all the princes in the world, he had the worst background, so basically no one would look down on him.
As a result, Lu Lingqi is now 20 years old and has not found a husband. In fact, she also gave Lu Bu a lot of suggestions, but with Lu Bu's character, it is basically difficult for others to change things that have been decided, especially women.
