Chapter 1368 Chen Gong Offers Advice

“Three Kingdoms Online Game: The Battle of Princes ()”

The three of them quickly arrived at the gate of the harem. At this time, neither Chen Gong nor Yan Shi cared about the rule that outsiders were not allowed to enter the inner palace. The three of them walked straight and soon arrived outside Yan Shi’s bedroom.

In the hall outside, Yan Shi and Lu Lingqi were crying and hugging each other. When they saw Chen Gong and the other two come in, they stopped talking.

“Your humble servant greets the queen and the princess!”

“Prime Minister, please stand up!”

“A Xu and A Yi, please stand up too!”

“Thank you, Queen!”

After the three of them stood up, Yan Shi said: “Prime Minister! The king…”

“Replying to the queen, I have just verified with the Tang army again, and it has been basically confirmed…”

“The king! Fengxian…”

“Daddy…”

There was another wailing in the hall. Lu Lingqi was about to rush out, but was held tightly by Yan Shi. Finally, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried again.

After a long time, the crying of the two finally weakened a little.

Chen Gong coughed lightly and said, "Tang's army of tens of thousands has already arrived at the city. The King of Tang came in person to persuade them to surrender, saying that if they still refuse to surrender by tomorrow morning, the Tang army will begin to attack the city. I dare not make a decision on my own, so I come to report to the Queen to make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Decision... How can an old woman like me... According to the opinions of the master and A Xu, what should we do?" Yan Shi was speechless when she heard it, and she said after a long while;

"Uh!" Chen Gong also knew that Yan Shi was a woman, and it was indeed difficult for her to make a decision, but in this matter, only she could make the decision, and how could a minister like him take over the job.

After thinking for a while, Chen Gong said, "If the queen is unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely protect the queen's safety to the death. If the queen agrees to conquer the Tang Dynasty, the king of Tang has promised that he will never let the queen and the princess suffer any grievances."

"I will never surrender to the enemy who killed my father!" Lu Lingqi said firmly;

"But if you don't surrender, you can only fight to the death. Ling'er, how can I let you, at such a young age..." Yan shook her head, disagreeing with her children's behavior. But she was unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. After all, the other party had just killed her husband, and it seemed a bit unreasonable for her to surrender.

"But..."

"Sister, why don't I lead the troops to escort you and Ling'er to escape!" Wei Xu whispered on the side;

"Escape, how can we escape? Now there are tens of thousands of Tang troops stationed under the city, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry alone. How can we escape?" Chen Gong shook his head;

"Besides, even if we escape from Jinyang and escape the pursuit of the Tang army, where can we escape to?" Lu Yi said on the side; In fact, under normal circumstances, there is a queen, a princess, and the other two are the prime minister and the national captain. Lu Yi has no right to speak, but his identity is a bit special, so even if he speaks in this situation, the others did not reprimand him.

Although Lu Yi does not have much talent, he knows where his status comes from. Like Wei Xu, he is unwilling to surrender to the Tang Kingdom, so he is also very concerned about escaping from Jinyang. But in the current situation, how to escape is a big problem. If you escape from Jinyang, where to go is another big problem.

After hearing what Lu Yi said, several people fell silent.

After a long time, Chen Gong slowly said: "I have some ideas about this matter." As he said that, he looked up at the palace maids and attendants around him. Seeing this, Lu Lingqi immediately ordered the rest of the people to leave, leaving only the five of them in the hall.

After the others left, Chen Gong continued: "I have always been concerned about the surrounding situation. Now our country is surrounded by Wei in the east, the north of the Great Wall, the south of Tang, and the west of Hetao."

As he said that, he walked to a table, poured a cup of water from a teapot, dipped his finger in the water, and drew a simple map of Bingzhou on the table.

After drawing the simple map in a few strokes, he said: "Now the Tang army has surrounded Jinyang,

However, although it is surrounded, the situation in each place is different."

Next, he explained the surrounding situation in detail to several people.

Now Leping in the east has completely fallen under the control of the Tang State. Although it is not clear when the Black Mountain Bandits surrendered, the Black Mountain Bandits have been operating Leping for more than ten years. If they lead their troops into Leping, it will probably be difficult to break through Leping.

Another point is that although Wei and Zhao are allies, Chen Gong knows that Yuan Shao looks down on Zhao. Once these fallen monarchs and ministers go to seek refuge, it is estimated that the best outcome is to eat and wait for death.

As for the north, now even Zhao Wang Lu Bu was surrounded and annihilated by the Tang army on the way back. If they want to go north again, it is probably just wishful thinking.

The south is even worse. Hedong is the territory that the Tang State has operated for several years. If they go in, it is estimated that it will be a meat bun hitting a dog.

The last direction is the west. Unlike the other three directions, although the Hetao area now belongs to the Tang State, the Tang State has occupied it for less than half a year and has not yet completely controlled the Hetao area. In addition, most of the Tang army's troops in the Hetao cities had been withdrawn by Tian Yu and sent to Wuyuan to fight against Zhang Liao's troops, so the number of Tang troops in the Hetao cities was not too large now.

In addition, both the Yuanyin and Yanshuiguan ferry crossings were heavily guarded by the Tang army, and they made a gesture of crossing the river to the east, but in fact, their troops were simply unable to cross the river to the east. The other ferry crossing in the river, the Qikou ferry crossing, was more suitable for crossing the river from east to west, so it was not guarded by most of the Tang army, and there were only a few hundred soldiers on guard.

In this way, this was the best breakthrough point that Chen Gong thought.

As for where to go, Chen Gong also had some ideas. In fact, Chen Gong had been paying attention to the Hetao area for a long time, but Lu Bu was not interested, so he had to give up in the end.

The essence of the Hetao area is in the eastern half of the central part, while the west only reaches Sheyan City. Sheyanze to the west of Sheyan City, and the west is the vast desert, but after hundreds of miles of desert, it is Fuping City in Beidi County. After crossing the river to the west, there is a fertile land located in the area west of the river and east of Beiyi Mountain.

Although this place belongs to Beidi County, it is actually occupied by Tugehu and other miscellaneous Hu people. Chen Gong's destination is here.

Here, Beiyi Mountain and the river form a closed area about 300 miles long from north to south and nearly 100 miles wide at its widest point. In Chen Gong's opinion, this is the best place for the king and ministers of Zhao to settle down.

Of course, in order to get here, the most important thing is to escape quietly from under the eyes of the tens of thousands of Tang troops outside Jinyang City. This is the most urgent problem to be solved at present.
