From eunuch to emperor

"Last night's sneak attack, we killed all the imperial guards, and none of the people from the Imperial City Division saw it. They seemed to have known that we were going to attack at night."

Master Xu has been thinking about this matter, why the surprise attack last night only killed the imperial army, but not the people of the Imperial City Division.

In fact, Master Xu hoped to kill the people from the Huangcheng Division, because the Huangcheng Division was more difficult.

However, the people in the Imperial City Division were not injured at all.

"They're not camping outside. If they're camping inside, we can kill them too."

Peng Mao didn't think much about it, thinking that it was a coincidence that Huang Chengsi was lucky, so he escaped unharmed.

But Master Xu shook his head and said, "No, I always feel that someone has seen through my scheme."

Peng Mao shook his head and said, "Impossible. If you see through the strategy, why did you let the imperial army be killed? Could it be that the people in the Imperial City Department want the imperial army to be killed?"

Master Xu couldn't figure it out, and said, "It feels like... this person hides his head and shows his tail, and seems unwilling to do his best."

Peng Mao laughed and said, "How is it possible? If there were such a person in the Imperial City Division, they would have already killed them."

"Master is superstitious, don't think so much."

Master Xu shook his head, feeling that something was wrong.

Camp outside the mountain pass.

Xia Houlian and Tu Gang murmured all night, but they couldn't think of a way to break the city.

Long Chen didn't bother to care about it, he couldn't make suggestions now, doing so would expose his identity.

The people in the Imperial City Division were the most suspicious, not to mention anything else.

Long Chen was sleeping soundly in the tent, while Xia Houlian was blowing cold wind outside.

In the middle of the night, there was still nothing to do.

In the tent, Zhang Yong came out in a daze to relieve himself, and then went back to the tent to sleep.

Seeing Zhang Yong, Xia Houlian thought of Long Chen, and immediately opened the tent to see Long Chen sleeping soundly.

Xiahou even kicked, Long Chen immediately got up, and grabbed the hunting knife.

Lu Wenfeng and Zhang Yong also woke up, and when they saw Xia Houlian, they immediately saluted and saw each other.

Xia Houlian ignored the two, but sat down in the tent and asked, "Liu An, do you have any means to deal with Feihu Villa?"

Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief, put down the hunting knife in his hand, lay down again, and said, "My lord, can you stop being like this in the middle of the night, frightened to death, thinking that wild beasts have come in."

Long Chen actually hasn't slept all this time, he sleeps very little now.

Lu Wenfeng immediately pulled Long Chen up and said, "Get up, your lord is here, don't sleep."

Long Chen rubbed his eyes, got up reluctantly, and said: "You can't do anything, what can I do?"

Even thinking about it, Xia Hou couldn't think of a way, what could a newcomer do.

"never mind."

Xia Houlian went out of the tent and went back to his own tent to sleep.

Long Chen continued to lie down and sleep.

After lying down, Lu Wenfeng asked, "Liu An, is there anything you can do?"

Long Chen closed his eyes and said: "Tou Lu, you really think highly of me, Lord Yasi can't do anything about it, why should I do anything about it?"

Lu Wenfeng thought about it too, Long Chen's performance was too eye-catching these two days, so he felt that Long Chen was very good.

But think about it carefully, Long Chen is just a brat who just joined the Imperial City Division, what can he do.

Zhang Yong turned over and said, "Go to sleep, Liu An is a hunter."

The three fell asleep again.

On the second day, Xia Houlian did not enter the army, but rested at Taniguchi.

If you can't think of a way to break the city, it's useless to go in.

The north wind was blowing, and seeing the dark clouds piled up, it seemed that the sky was about to change.

If it rains, the tent can't stop it at all.

Ancient tents were not waterproof, and they were most afraid of rainy days when fighting.

"Damn it, if it rains, we'll have enough muddy water."

Looking at the dense dark clouds, Zhang Yong felt very irritable.

I thought this errand would be easy with the assistance of the Imperial Army, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Long Chen sounded a little funny, before setting off, Xia Houlian didn't know the situation of Feihu Villa.

As the commander of the army, he must try his best to grasp the enemy's intelligence before fighting, otherwise he will be blinded on the spot.

In the distance, Xia Houlian, Tu Gang, and Chu Tianjun were still discussing how to break through Feihu Villa.

"Actually, that Zhuangzi is also easy to handle. You just need to pile firewood at the door, burn it for a few days and nights, and if it rains, it will collapse."

Long Chen casually said something.

Zhang Yong sneered and said, "Are you okay? Burn the wall? The wall is made of stone. Can you burn the stone?"

Long Chen didn't bother to pay attention, wandering around by himself.

The three of Xia Houlian discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't find a solution.

Lu Wenfeng returned to the tent, but did not see Long Chen, and asked, "Where's Liu An?"

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "He has gone to chop firewood."

Lu Wenfeng felt strange and asked, "Chopping firewood? What kind of firewood are you chopping?"

Zhang Yong said sarcastically: "Our military adviser Liu said that Feihu Villa is easy to break through, as long as he burns it with firewood for three days and three nights, the wall will be broken."

Lu Wenfeng froze for a moment, thought for a while, and felt that it made sense.

Lu Wenfeng immediately got out of the tent, went into Xiahoulian's tent, and said, "Abbot, Liu An said to burn Zhuangzi with fire.".?0?4?0?2m

Xia Houlian thought that Long Chen meant to use fire to attack, so he burned Feihu Villa, and said: "Bad idea, what's the use of shooting rockets into Zhuangzi?"

"Also, if our arrow can hit Zhuangzi, Peng Mao can also hit us, and we will die."

Everyone's shooting range is similar. It is even said that Feihu Villa is condescending and has a longer shooting range. If you go there, you will die.

Lu Wenfeng shook his head and said, "No, what Liu An meant was to burn the city wall with firewood. I think it will rain. After we burn it for a few days, if it rains again, the wall will collapse."

Xia Houlian felt strange and asked, "That wall is made of stone, can it burn down?"

Lu Wenfeng said: "It is precisely because it is made of stone that it will collapse."

"My subordinates have seen those who dig mountains and ditches, they just set fire to it, and then poured water on it, and the stone exploded."

The stones are built together with very small gaps. After the fire is burned, the stones will expand and may even crack.

Coupled with the cold rain in winter, after thermal expansion and contraction, the possibility of wall collapse is very high.

Once the walls of Feihu Villa collapse, Xia Houlian can rely on the superiority of numbers to attack Zhuangzi.

Xia Houlian suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, burn the wall!"

hiss...

Xia Houlian's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Is it Liu An's idea again?"

Lu Wenfeng's face also became gloomy, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's Liu An again!"

Both are old spies of the Imperial City Division, and they are very suspicious.

Not long after Long Chen arrived in the Imperial City Division, he was so eye-catching, it was simply unimaginable.

"Old Lu, keep an eye on him, go back and find out who he is!"

Xia Houlian doesn't trust Long Chen very much now.

Lu Wenfeng nodded and said, "Understood, this kid is too smart!"

Xia Houlian said: "March tomorrow and burn the city!"

Flying Tiger Villa.

After a peaceful day, Peng Mao sent his disciples out of the city to investigate and reported that Xia Houlian was resting at the mountain pass and did not dare to enter the army at all.

Peng Mao was very happy, and drank tea with Master Xu in the room for a day.

On the third day, the disciple reported that Xia Houlian had entered the army again.

Peng Mao immediately ordered everyone to prepare for the battle.

The disciples went to the top of the city, and the crossbow stones were ready.

I thought there would be a fight, but I didn't expect that Xia Houlian did not attack outside the city, but let the soldiers chop firewood.

Standing at the top of the city, Peng Mao looked puzzled and asked, "Master, what are they doing?"
