From eunuch to emperor

Just when Li Peng and Wen Ning were hesitating, there was the sound of fighting from the mouth of the valley in the south, and the two turned pale with shock.

Li Peng yelled that it was not good, picked up his spear and rushed out of the room, and saw the Eastern Zhou army rushing in. The leader was a middle-aged general, holding a tiger's head knife, killing anyone he saw. .?0?4?0?2m

The soldiers in the valley lost their morale, and when they saw the soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty coming, they either surrendered or fled, and quickly rushed to the front of the barracks.

When Zhao Heng saw Li Peng, he rushed over with a knife in hand, but Li Peng hurriedly parried.

The tiger's head knife fell, the spear was cut off, and Li Peng's left hand was chopped off, screaming in pain.

Deputy Wei Wenning saw Zhao Heng's fierceness, so he turned around and wanted to run. Zhao Heng caught up and split the back armor with a knife. Wen Ning died on the spot.

After killing the general, Zhao Heng shouted loudly: "Wu Wang of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here, don't surrender yet!"

Fifty thousand elite soldiers poured into the valley, and Liang Jun was no match at all. Hearing Long Chen's name, everyone was so frightened that they immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Long Chen rode into the Wild Boar Valley, and saw a mountain of grain.

"Don't waste your time, move the food back!"

Long Chen was overjoyed and immediately ordered to transport the food.

Liang Jun's prisoners were also escorted to work, and the food was loaded into a carriage and transported to Linjiang City.

Zhao Heng did not expect that there was so much food in the Wild Boar Valley, and said happily: "These food is enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops for three years."

Long Chen smiled, and said: "That's why I brought fifty thousand elite soldiers here to transport food."

Looking around, Long Chen climbed to the ridge of Wild Boar Valley.

Standing on the ridge, Long Chen looked to the north, and there were rolling hills to the north.

"If there are elite soldiers defending here, how will you attack?"

Long Chen asked Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng said, "Wu Wang means that Nanliang will store food here in the future?"

Long Chen said: "If we don't capture Wushun City, Nanliang will definitely annex Wushun City again. The Wild Boar Valley is the best place to store grain, and they will store grain here again."

Zhao Heng was a little surprised, and said: "Li Chengdao was beaten like that by King Wu. I heard that he was carried back to Jinling overnight, and he probably died on the way. How dare they set up troops?"

In the past two days, Zhao Heng was also thinking about the situation in Nanliang. In his opinion, Nanliang had almost collapsed.

The emperor died suddenly, the veteran of the court was taken over, and the Nanliang court had collapsed.

Long Chen said: "It's very likely that Li Chengdao won't die, and... he will become even more powerful, and he will have some more helpers."

Zhao Heng was not stupid, and immediately asked, "Is it a ghost clan?"

Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Yes, so there is still a battle to be fought here."

Looking at the surrounding terrain, Zhao Heng carefully considered how to raid Wild Boar Valley under the condition of elite soldiers defending.

Long Chen was also thinking...

When attacking Xixia, Long Chen dug a secret passage in the Fuyi Temple, which didn't work here.

Xixia is dry, and the secret road will not seep and collapse.

The Wild Boar Valley is different. The amount of tunnel digging in the mountains is too large. Li Chengdao will also inspect the mountains at that time, so he can't hide it at all.

How to stay behind?

...

When Long Chen was transporting the grain and grass from the Wild Boar Valley back to Linjiang City, in the east of Wushun City, a young general with a medium build, a handsome face, and a bit of a gentle temperament was marching westward with more than 3 elite soldiers.

This person is Li Chengdao's newly promoted young general Xue Ze.

Xue Ze received Xuanjizi's order and immediately led [-] elite soldiers to Wushun City.

When he arrived near Wushun City, Xue Ze slowed down his marching speed and at the same time ordered the sentries to go forward to investigate.

Xue Ze already knew the news of Li Chengdao's dying, and also knew about the escape of the defenders of Wushun City.

Taking over Wushun City under such circumstances would be tantamount to death.

Xue Ze didn't want to go, but military orders must not be violated, so he could only come with elite soldiers.

A horse galloped back, and the sentinel reported anxiously: "General, the people in Wushun City have left the city empty, and there are no more guards."

Wang Bao, the deputy general beside him, said: "General, all the defenders of Wushun City have run away, we will die if we go!"

The other generals and schools around him were also very dissatisfied. Letting them pick up such a mess would be tantamount to framing.

"General, they can't defend themselves, let us go to die when they escape, I won't go!"

A school lieutenant first refused to advance, and other generals expressed their dissatisfaction and refused to continue marching.

Xue Ze actually didn't want to go either, Long Chen was brave, they were not opponents, if they went, they would die.

"The emperor has a decree, how can I not go..."

Xue Ze said helplessly.

Deputy General Wang Bao said: "The emperor is dying, who knows whose order it is!"

Xue Ze silently...

At this time, another horse came galloping and shouted: "General, the Eastern Zhou ration team is found ahead. They seem to have stolen our rations!"

Xue Ze was shocked that the Eastern Zhou army actually appeared here.

"How many people? Who leads the troops?"

Xue Ze immediately asked a question.

The sentinel shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Xue Ze immediately shouted: "Explore again!"

The sentry immediately turned around and went to investigate again. Xue Ze ordered the army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot.

After a while, the sentinel came back with a soldier in civilian clothes.

This soldier was the defender who escaped from the Wild Boar Valley. He lost his armor in order to escape on the way.

"General, this man is the defender of Wild Boar Valley."

The sentinel threw the soldier off the horse. The soldier was afraid of being questioned, and cried out: "General, please forgive me. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty Wu Wang Longchen personally led tens of thousands of troops to attack. We can't resist, Li Xiaowei has been killed!"

Xue Ze's expression changed suddenly when he heard Long Chen's name, and asked, "Did you see clearly?"

The soldier replied: "You can see clearly, King Wu is riding a tall horse, carrying the military flag with the word dragon!"

The general next to him was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, and exclaimed: "King Wu is here, we are no match for you, let's get out!"

Deputy General Wang Bao asked, "How many troops did King Wu bring?"

The soldier replied: "At least one hundred thousand!"

Xue Ze frowned, and said angrily: "Linjiang City has only [-] defenders, how can there be [-]?"

Xue Ze is well aware of the situation in Linjiang City, the defender is talking nonsense.

The defenders didn't know how many people Long Chen had brought with him, and they were worried that he would be killed if he fled, so he said that the number was too large.

"Forgive me, General. I don't know how many people came, but at least tens of thousands. They rushed into the valley, several times our army."

The soldier was frightened and hurriedly explained.

Deputy General Wang Bao said: "General, it doesn't matter how many people there are, as long as King Wu personally leads the troops, even if there are only a few people, we are no match for us!"

Other generals echoed:

"The emperor commanded 40 troops, so what?"

"Long Chen is an incomparably brave thief. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to resist him."

"General, retreat, don't let the brothers die!"

"If we go up, I'm afraid we will all be killed!"

Xue Ze looked to the west, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "The skills are not as good as others, and you have owed the emperor's favor. Let's withdraw!"

Xue Ze immediately led his troops to retreat, and at the same time ordered the deserters encountered on the road to gather back to the city.

In this situation, he, Xue Ze, cannot change it alone.

...

As night fell, eighteen bearers galloped along the road carrying a sedan chair.

Xuanjizi and Yu Fuguo rode on horseback to protect him. Li Chengdao's face was pale, and he seemed to be dead.

Zhong Gui burst into tears immediately: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

The bearers ran wildly on the dirt road, and their bodies were stretched to the limit.

Suddenly, there was a small pit on the road, and a bearer stepped on the pit, and his body staggered and fell forward. The sedan chair immediately became unstable, and the other bearers were also exhausted, and they fell to the ground together. The sedan chair hit the ground, and Li Chengdao never The sedan chair rolled down.

"Bastard!"

Yu Fuguo was furious and wanted to kill someone with his sword drawn. The bearers lay on the ground, some vomited blood, some passed out, and some were already exhausted...
