From eunuch to emperor

The latest battle report has arrived, and everyone is waiting for the empress to speak.

"Wu Wang sent a good news. Two days ago, Shi Le tried to lead troops to break through, but was smashed by Wu Wang's design. Yangcheng has been included in the territory of the Great Zhou."

"In the battle of Yangcheng, more than 20 enemies were killed and [-] were captured. Shi Le fled into Guancheng in embarrassment."

After the empress finished speaking, Gongsun Yun laughed loudly and said, "Xixia can only defend from now on, and can no longer counterattack."

Zhenguo Temple was defeated twice, and Yangcheng was defeated. Gongsun Yun estimated that Xixia's elite had almost beaten.

The court ministers were ecstatic and congratulated the empress in unison.

Di Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and Di Xingwan said happily, "After breaking Yang City, the Long Family Army can go straight to Guan City. If they break through again, they can attack Xingqing City."

Xu Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, smiled so hard that his face was crooked, and said to Bai Libing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials next to him, "King Wu has never lost a war."

Baili Bing smiled and said: "That is, King Wu is invincible in all battles."

The ministers in the hall laughed happily.

The Empress looked at Baili Bing and said, "King Wu said that within three days he can take all the cities east of Yangcheng, please send officials to take over the cities."

"It will take more than two days from Yangcheng to the capital. Counting it, King Wu has already captured the city."

"I order you to select suitable officials to take over the city's land within two days."

Baili Bing immediately bowed and said: "This humble minister leads the decree!"

All the ministers exclaimed: "It's actually reached the point of sending officials to take over?"

"So, almost half of Xixia's land has been incorporated into Dazhou's territory?"

"Won't the Panhe Palace also become the territory of the Great Zhou?"

Gongsun Yun stroked his beard and leaned on the grand teacher's chair, looking very comfortable.

The empress specially instructed: "Xixia's new attachment must select capable people and sages, especially those who are good at comforting, and don't be careless."

In the place where I just belonged, the hearts of the people are still not unified, and I still feel that I am from Xixia.

At this time, it is necessary to select officials who are good at winning people's hearts, so that the local people can live well.

Baili Bing bowed, "I understand."

The Empress said to Duan Shuangshuang and Wang Wei: "The problem of food and grass just mentioned, King Wu also said that the food and grass are not enough, plus the Long family army is exhausted from continuous battles, and plans to rest in Yangcheng for a whole month, the food and grass can be temporarily dispatched."

Duan Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief. In order to collect enough grain and grass, the household department was under a lot of pressure every day, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"The minister leads the order."

Duan Shuangshuang and Wang Wei saluted together.

"Okay, let's retreat."

The Empress happily got up and went back to the inner court, and all the ministers got up to leave the court.

Wang Wei left the Daming Palace and walked across the street in a carriage. Wang Mazi drove the carriage slowly, waving a whip in his hand.

"Go to Rouge Lane."

Wang Wei said something coldly, and Wang Mazi immediately turned his horse's head and walked towards Rouge Lane.

...

Nanliang, Jinling, Imperial Palace.

Eunuch Yu Fuguo hurried into Wolong Valley with a secret report.

This was originally Li Chengdao's summer resort, but later Ji Ba took a fancy to it and set fire to the palace.

After the Tianxiahui was destroyed, Li Chengdao rebuilt the palace and still used it as a summer resort.

Of course, due to the rush of time, only a few palaces were built, and most of them were still charred ruins.

Yu Fuguo hurriedly walked into a water pavilion, and the river flowed under it, making a gurgling sound.

Li Chengdao was sitting on the edge of the railing, while Yu Ziming, Minister of the Ministry of War, was reporting the situation ahead.

"Our army has attacked several times, but the effect is not good. Now the weather is extremely hot, and the sergeants are fighting in armor, and many of them have sores on their bodies."

"Long Chengen's battle in Xixia is said to be going well. After Shi Le was defeated at Zhenguo Temple, he retreated to Yangcheng, and 50 troops were besieged in the city."

The Ministry of War has its own informants, and Yu Ziming is also aware of the battle in Yangcheng.

Li Chengdao looked at the river below the stage, and said sarcastically, "A 50 army is surrounded by 20 people. It's really unheard of!"

It is common sense in the art of war that the siege can only be completed with a force several times that of the enemy.

But Long Chen surrounded Shi Le with less than half of his troops, this is simply a joke.

Yu Ziming bowed and said: "I heard that the matter of the Qiuzi Hall in Zhaoti Temple has aroused resentment among the Xixia people. Many soldiers in the army also hate the imperial court. Shi Le took the initiative to retreat to the city to prevent mutiny."

"Shi Le wanted to lure Long Chengen to attack the city, but he didn't expect Long Chengen to besiege and not attack."

Li Chengdao sneered: "Even I would not be fooled by Shi Le's little trick, let alone Long Cheng'en."

"The Xixia cavalry once defeated a hundred thousand Long family troops and beheaded the Long Ye family on Bailang Mountain. The iron kite was originally an elite."

"How can you become a good-for-nothing cripple when facing Long Cheng'en!"

Li Chengdao really can't figure out why Xixia's combat effectiveness has become so poor?

Shi Le was able to kill Tatsuno with the iron kite, but why couldn't he beat a eunuch?

Yu Ziming didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "Long Ye only has 20 troops, and Long Cheng'en has [-] troops."

Li Chengdao looked at Yu Ziming helplessly, he wanted to scold someone, but he didn't know where to start.

Yu Fuguo came over in a hurry, and said: "Your Majesty, the Xixia Flying Eagle has passed on the letter, and Shi Le has lost again!"

Li Chengdao's face was gloomy, and Yu Ziming's heart trembled.

Yu Fuguo submitted the secret report, Li Chengdao read it carefully, looked up at the trees on the mountain, and sighed: "The 50 army was easily defeated by Long Chengen, this Shi Le..."

Yu Ziming bowed his head and dared not speak, and Yu Fuguo also stopped talking.

After a long time, Li Chengdao said: "Let's retreat, Xixia is over, let the frontline soldiers rest."

"Besides, the Ministry of War will immediately repair the northern city. After Long Chengen destroys Xixia, it is estimated that he will turn around and invade Daliang in two years."

"We can't be beaten in by Long Chengen all the way like Shi Le."

Li Chengdao's words made Yu Ziming at a loss.

Li Chengdao's words mean that Xixia has been regarded as a subjugated country.

"Your Majesty, Xixia... sent envoys to the country of Uz, maybe...the country will not perish."

Yu Ziming wanted to comfort Li Chengdao and himself.

Yu Fuguo also said: "The three divisions of the world were determined by the martial sages back then. For hundreds of years, some people tried to change them, but they all failed in the end."

"How can he, Long Cheng'en and He De, be able to destroy Xixia and rule the world?"

Li Chengdao sneered and said: "Don't talk big, I don't think Xixia can last long."

"Go, get ready, Long Cheng'en is coming, he's here to avenge Long Ye, avenge the one hundred thousand Long family army!"

"Once he enters Jinling City...no chicken or dog will stay!"

When these words came out of Li Chengdao's mouth, Yu Ziming and Yu Fuguo turned pale upon hearing them.

"The minister leads the order."

"The slave takes orders."

The two bowed their heads and exited the water pavilion.

When he arrived outside the palace, Yu Ziming wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This damn weather is going to kill people from the heat."

Yu Fuguo sighed: "The sun won't kill you, but Long Cheng'en is the trouble. Could it be that no one can stop him!"

Yu Ziming sighed and said: "Originally the world would have it, but now it doesn't."

Yu Fuguo said regretfully: "I used to think that the world would be very annoying, but now I miss it very much."

When the world will be here, at least there will be someone who can contain Long Chen.

Not anymore, not at all.
