Not long.

The army arrived at Shangying City.

The one who came to pick up Lu Chen was General Wang Gaomu.

He was stationed in the West City.

Xicheng is adjacent to Shangyingcheng.

"King side by side."

Gao Mu's expression was a bit complicated.

The last time he saw Lu Chen, he was still ordered to exchange Lu Chen with the Ten Thousand Formations.

At that time, Lu Chen was despised by the people, but today, he became the king of shoulder to shoulder and won the respect of the people of the Qin Dynasty.

Recalling the strength Lu Chen showed in the Qin Dynasty, Gao Mu had to admit that Lu Chen deserved the Ten Thousand Formations Map.

"General Gao."

"Side by side, I'll ask for matters within the account."

A group of generals, including those who came from Yanyang to guard Shangying City, gathered in the camp.

"It is reported that the King of Side-Side has the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams in his hand."

A general asked directly.

"Not bad." Lu Chen nodded.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"It's so good! As long as the king set up the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation side by side, I believe the Tang army will not do anything to us at all!"

The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation is on the guarding city and has never failed.

The generals of Shangying City suddenly understood that it was unreasonable that Your Majesty ordered the king to command the entire army alongside each other. As long as there was the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, Shangying City would basically not be broken.

They had heard that Lu Chen had the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation in his hand, but he did not see him admit it with his own eyes, so it was difficult to be sure whether it was true or a rumor.

Gao Muhu's eyes were slightly brighter, "Your Highness, can you set up the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Arrays on the border of the Qin Dynasty?"

"There is no problem." Lu Chen agreed.

Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked at everyone, "Do you just want to guard?"

The generals were stunned.

"Does Your Highness want to attack?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "I just defend, I'm too passive."

As the saying goes: The best defense is offense.

However, the others thought Lu Chen was whimsical.

"Your Highness, relying on our troops alone, defense must rely on the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, how can we attack?"

Lu Chen looked calm, "I have a way."

"Your Highness, this matter should not be underestimated." Gao Mu frowned and stared at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced around everyone, his tone was unquestionable, "Since I asked, there was a way."

The commander sitting upright in the tent, was as arrogant as Mount Tai, and was confident.

Everyone disagreed, but Lu Chen had decided. Looking at Lu Chen's calm and confident expression, they could only agree helplessly.

The next day.

At the junction of Shangying City and the Tang Dynasty, 100,000 Tang soldiers suddenly appeared stationed.

The Tang army has already set out!

Gao Mu looked at the news that the Tang army had come from the capital of the Tang Dynasty yesterday, Shen'an City.

I felt a little scared.

Who expected that all the spies found were fake news?

The Tang army had quietly set out at some point and released smoke bombs to confuse Qin's spies.

If the army led by Lu Chen had not arrived early and without the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, the troops in Shangying City would be unable to compete with the Tang army!

Soon, all the soldiers in the army received the news.

Baqian rushed to Shangying City and the soldiers who arrived slowly were extremely shocked.

They all remembered that Lu Chen asked them to marches faster along the way than to march quickly.

On the second day...when they were slower and the Tang army was approaching, they would not be able to reach Shangying City.

"The King of Sides, have you known this long ago?"

A soldier murmured.

As early as the day before the army set off, Tianji Tower investigated and learned that the Tang Dynasty had secretly sent troops.

Lu Chen marched all the way and arrived in Shangying City the day before the Tang army arrived, which made the Tang Dynasty's plan fail.

"Have the food arrived?" Lu Chen asked.

The troops and horses should have arrived before they moved their food and grass. Logically speaking, the food and grass should have arrived in Shangying City earlier than them.

However, so far, the food and grass have not arrived.

“Not yet.”

The man in black looked calm.

Lu Chen's movement paused, "Have you not yet?"

"But where did you find it?"

"Not anymore."

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and then he heard, "When the food and grass were halfway through, he was robbed by bandits, and all the food and grass were robbed."

"Who is the one who delivers food and grass?" The cold voice seemed to be about to freeze.

"It's the subordinate of Youhou."

Lu Chen pulled the corner of his lips, "Hou You? The dignified army was actually robbed of food and grass by a group of bandits?"

"Oh!"

Lu Chen's laughter was full of mockery.

"Press the news first."

"Yes," the man in black said hesitantly: "Master, I'm afraid that there will be not much food and herb left in Shangying City."

Shangying City was waiting for the emergency rescue of the food and grass they transported.

"How long can I press it?"

However, on the second day, news of no food and grass had already spread.

The man in black knelt on one knee and sweated from his forehead.

Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, "Go down and receive the punishment by himself."

"yes!"

He didn't dare to say much, and the man in black nodded and left immediately.

The man in black standing behind Lu Chen whispered: "Master, someone is already making trouble."

"All troublemakers will be dealt with by military law!"

Lu Chen did not hesitate at all, and the military order was ironed like a mountain.

This situation must be dealt with by force, and once it is delayed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I understand."

There was a mistake in the food and grass, and Lu Chen had to find a way to solve it.

He turned around and walked into the head coach's tent.

After a moment, four men in black entered the coach's tent.

"You two, go and burn all the food and grass in the enemy camp, maybe?"

Two men in black on the left knelt on the ground to receive the order.

Lu Chen's eyes fell on the two men in black on the right.

"Since the Tang Dynasty secretly marched, in order not to be discovered by us, the food and grass must be behind the army."

"You bring fifty people to intercept the food and grass of the Tang Dynasty."

"yes!"
