From eunuch to emperor

"How many times have I told you, I won't take you in!"

"Do you want me to break it? Well, let me tell you, because you are Zhao Lun's daughter, who knows if you really want to seek refuge, or want to wait for an opportunity to kill me?"

"Even if you can't kill me, will you reveal my information to Shi Le?"

"Anyway, all in all, you go back and stop messing around!"

Long Chen was really impatient, he wanted to sleep, really sleepy.

But Zhao Ying was relentless and said, "No, if you don't take me in, I won't leave!"

"Anyway, I'm here tonight, if you have the ability, you molested me."

Looking at Zhao Ying who was stern and faceless in front of him, Long Chen was really speechless.

"Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao, do you think my reputation as a pervert is for nothing?"

"Do you really think I dare not take off your dress? Do you think I'm joking?"

Long Chen got a little angry, he glanced at Zhao Ying with cold and stern eyes, making Zhao Ying tremble slightly.

"You...don't mess around!"

Zhao Ying instinctively covered her body and took a step back unconsciously.

Long Chen snorted, and said with a sneer: "That's right, go back, if you don't go, I will sleep with you tonight!"

Long Chen lay down on his side, blew out the oil lamp in one breath, and said: "Remember to close the door!"

The room suddenly became dark, Zhao Ying looked at Long Chen who was soundly asleep, and after a long time, he turned around and left the room.

After walking into the yard, Zhao Yingcai found that the door was open, and turned around to close the door again.

With a faint sigh, Zhao Yingfei climbed onto the roof and walked home on the ridge.

Long Chen's room was not guarded because it was not needed.

If someone dares to assassinate Long Chen, then this person's cultivation must be extremely high, and the spies from the West Factory are no match.

Therefore, simply do not arrange any guards.

Zhao Ying came and went, and no one cared.

Zhao Ying returned home, entered the room, took out a fire pocket and lit the oil lamp.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Zhao Ying was stunned for a long time, then slowly removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and fell asleep on the bed.

When the time came to the end of the ugly time, Zhao Ying couldn't sleep, and she was still thinking about Long Chen.

In such a daze, Zhao Ying slowly fell asleep.

the next morning.

Long Chen stretched himself, his eyelids felt a little heavy.

Zhao Ying made a fuss last night and didn't get enough sleep.

"Morning, my lord."

Long Chen got up from the room to wash, Han Ziping happened to pass by and said hello.

Dugu Jiali walked in from the outside and saw Long Chen fetching water to wash his body.

In Xixia, washing the body with water is a luxury, and only Long Chen can do this.

"My lord, Zhao Jing has delivered a letter."

Zhao Jing is the cavalry captain that Long Chen arranged under Zhu Yong's tent.

"say what?"

Long Chen wiped off the water on his body, picked up his clothes and changed.

Long Chen didn't shy away from being Dugu Jiali's own person.

"Zhao Jing said that Shi Le's defeated soldiers gathered in Guancheng. They wanted to attack Guancheng yesterday, but Shi Le arrived with the defeated soldiers."

"They thought they couldn't beat them, so they took their soldiers and horses to raid the west."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "Yes, Zhao Jing is doing the right thing."

"The people under Zhu Yong's command are nothing but a mob. They can rely on the superiority of numbers to deal with ordinary officers and soldiers. If they really meet elites, they will definitely lose."

The purpose of conferring Zhu Yong as General Zhengxi was only to disturb Xixia's rear, not to let them confront Shi Le head-on.

If they fight head-on, Zhu Yong and the others will undoubtedly lose.

This is also the reason why Long Chen sent two school lieutenants to Zhu Yong. He didn't want to control Zhu Yong's army, but mainly to guide and prevent Zhu Yong from acting recklessly.

Dugu Jiali said: "Guancheng is a fortress. After passing through Guancheng, you can drive straight to the west. It will be fine if Zhu Yong takes it down."

Long Chen shook his head and said: "Guancheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack, how can it be so easy."

"then..."

At that time, Tatsuno planned to break through Guancheng, and then drove directly to the west to break through Xingqing City.

There were only 3 defenders in the city at that time, and the 10 Long family army in Tatsuno could not break through.

Not far from Guancheng to the north is White Wolf Mountain.

After failing to attack Guancheng, Tatsuno retreated to Bailang Mountain.

Shi Le took the opportunity to mobilize the whole country, together with the barbarian cavalry, encircled 10 Longjia troops.

An earth-shattering bloody battle begins on White Wolf Mountain.

Dugu Jiali knew that the north of Guancheng was White Wolf Mountain, and she also knew the reason why Long Chen hesitated to speak, so she didn't continue.

"By the way, what about those captives? With 20 mouths, even if they are half-fed, they still need a lot of food."

"Our current supply of supplies is only enough for the Long Family Army, and adding them in, we really can't solve the problem."

The 20 Long family troops have fought for such a long time, and their daily food consumption is astonishing.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is supporting Long Chen's western expedition with the power of the whole country.

Fortunately, Long Chen implemented the system of garrisoning land, tens of thousands of captives in Zhenguo Temple were farming the land, and before Jade Buddha Pass also implemented the system of garrisoning land, they accumulated some surplus grain.

Otherwise, the Eastern Zhou treasury could not support such a long war.

"Is the item sent by the Ministry of War okay?"

Long Chen knew that Wang Wei sent some not-so-good supplies on purpose, this was Li Chengdao's secret order, and Long Chen, the empress and Wang Wei knew it well.

Of course, Long Chen still wanted to express his protest, scolding as he should, so as to appear real.

Dugu Jiali said helplessly: "It's better, but it's not much better."

"I chatted with the food transport officer for a while last time, and she said that there is not enough food to be picked up now, and the pressure on the saint to raise food is great."

The last thing to fight in the war is the logistics materials such as food, war horses, and weapons.

Long Chen nodded slightly, he also knew that the Empress was under a lot of pressure.

When the soldiers are moving, their food intake increases greatly, and the horses must also be fed with fine fodder, and the horse fodder of one war horse is worth several soldiers.

"My lord, do you want us to take a break?"

Dugu Jiali suggested that the army rest temporarily, and Long Chen was also thinking about this issue.

From the Yufoguan counterattack to the Zhenguo Temple battle, to this Yangcheng defense battle, the Long family army has been fighting continuously for more than half a year, and everyone is very tired.

"Okay, let the brothers take a good rest. There is not enough food and the weather is too hot. Let's wait until autumn."

Long Chen decided to take a break first, wait until the summer heat is over, and the autumn harvest will have enough food, then fight again.

Dugu Jiali asked, "Do you want to discuss it with other people?"

After Long Chen changed his clothes, he said, "Let's go, call them all over and discuss it together."

Long Chen and Dugu Jiali arrived at the main hall, Wu Jian and Zhang Qian's group all arrived.

Wu Chuchu didn't come today because of her injuries.

After sitting down, Long Chen said: "Just now, I had a discussion with Jiali. The brothers are very tired after fighting for more than half a year. In addition, our supply of food and grass is somewhat insufficient. I plan to take a few rests first. month, we will fight again in autumn."

"This is what Carrie and I think, what do you think?"

Long Chen is the chief general, but when encountering such an important decision, he must discuss it with other generals, and cannot act arbitrarily.

Fighting a war is not a matter for one person, you must rely on your subordinates. If important matters are not discussed with everyone, the final execution effect will be very poor, and some people will even oppose it.
