From eunuch to emperor

"My lord is molesting Bai Tingting again?"

Zhang Qian asked with jealousy.

Long Chen said innocently: "General Zhang, obviously I was molested."

Zhang Qian snorted: "What a thick skin! The Holy Majesty's special envoy has arrived, and he is in the main hall."

Long Chen was a little surprised: "It's here so soon?"

A few days ago, Long Chen sent the battle report back to the capital, and asked the Empress to send officials to take over Qianjiang County. He thought it would take some time, but unexpectedly it arrived.

"I just arrived and brought several officials with me."

Long Chen got up, went to the main hall with Zhang Qian, and saw He Ningxin, the special envoy of the Empress.

"My lord?"

Long Chen felt strange, why did the princess Di Yuwei's female officer be sent as a special envoy?

He Ning smiled heartily: "Lord Long doesn't want to see me?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "What's the matter, I haven't seen Mr. He in the past few days since I left Beijing, I miss him very much, I even dreamed about it last night."

He Ningxin smiled and said: "I heard that Master Long fought all night, when did he dream of me last night?"

Well...

Long Chen wasn't embarrassed either, and said with a smile: "That's what I dreamed about the night before yesterday."

Dugu Jiali and Wu Jian came in from the outside and met with the special envoy He Ningxin.

He Ningxin said: "The Holy Majesty heard that the pirates who had occupied Qianjiang County for more than 20 years were wiped out, and he was very happy. He immediately selected the governor, the governor, Sima and the chief book."

Several people behind him paid respects to Long Chen, and Long Chen returned the salute.

"Thank you, Lord Ron."

"It just so happens that Master He is here, and I will play the recent battle situation together."

He Ningxin said: "Alright, the Holy Majesty also wants to know the situation of the battle."

Long Chen immediately let the new assassin take office, and asked Zhang Qian and Wu Jian to help them familiarize themselves with the situation in Qianjiang County as soon as possible.

After making arrangements, Long Chen went back to his room and wrote a memorial of the battle situation in the past few days, and handed it to He Ningxin.

He Ningxin only visited the city once, and then returned to the capital urgently with the memorial and troops.

After Long Chen had dinner, he took a bath with Zhang Qian, and the two of them closed the door and fell asleep.

After fighting all night, I was really tired.

...

Two days later, Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun returned to Qianjiang County with soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses in the city were also ready, but Long Chen did not send troops.

Sitting in the pavilion by the pond, Long Chen leaned against the railing, listening to the chirping of insects, thinking about how to capture the ghost island.

Wu Xiangyun was caressing a piece of guqin, Zhang Qian was pouring tea beside her, and Bai Tingting was sitting on a tree bored.

Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu train soldiers all day long, their personalities are a bit similar, and they got to know each other within a few days.

"My lord, when will we attack Ghost Island?"

Bai Tingting fell from the tree and said anxiously.

Long Chen took a sip of tea, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "Ghost Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I'm not sure of victory."

Bai Tingting said: "There is no one who is sure to win a war, it is all about survival."

Long Chen shook his head, and said: "Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the land of death and life, the way of survival; the one who wins without a battle in the temple must be counted as more; the one who is not victorious without a battle in the temple has to be counted as less. Count more To win, it is impossible to count less, let alone nothing?"

What Long Chen was talking about was "Sun Tzu's Art of War. The Beginning of the Plan". Before a battle, you must plan first, counting more than winning.

Zhang Qian was taken aback when she heard it, and Wu Xiangyun's piano sound also stopped.

Wu Xiangyun praised: "I have read many military books, but I have never heard such a thorough statement."

Zhang Qian was surprised and said, "Your Excellency can write poems, but can he also know the art of war?"

It wasn't until Long Chen realized that there was no Spring and Autumn and Warring States in this world, let alone Sun Wu, and there was no "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

"There are too many battles, and it's just the experience summed up."

"Before fighting, one must plan first. If there is no chance of winning when planning, such a battle cannot be fought."

"Just like now, Ghost Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We don't have an absolute advantage in military strength, and we are fighting at sea, and there is also the threat of hidden reefs. No matter how I plan, I will lose more than win, so I will not send troops for a long time."

Bai Tingting was surprised and said, "You are much smarter than those idiots in the Ministry of War."

Long Chen gave Bai Tingting a disdainful look: "Being smarter than an idiot is something to be proud of?"

Bai Tingting giggled and said, "That's not what it means."

Long Chen looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the bright white moonlight sprinkled on the roof, reflecting a piece of frosty white.

The lights in the room were on, and the new governor was working overtime to handle official duties.

"The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, and it will be full in a few days."

Bai Tingting looked at the moon, lay down lazily, with one leg on Long Chen intentionally.

Zhang Qian felt disgusted for a while, originally thought that Bai Tingting was a reserved heroine, but unexpectedly she became Long Chen's licking dog.

"Not necessarily. It's easy to be cloudy and rainy here on the fifteenth day. You can't see the full moon."

Wu Xiangyun joked.

Long Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Does this happen every month?"

Wu Xiangyun shook his head and said, "No, it's like this in spring."

Long Chen was overjoyed, and asked: "Will the sea be flooded?"

Wu Xiangyun nodded and said: "Yes, and the flood will be the most severe on the fifteenth day of this month, and the river in Zhenhai County will backflow."

When the sea level rises too much, seawater intrusion occurs.

This world also has tidal gravity, so there is a chance.

Long Chen got up and said: "Let's go tomorrow and attack Ghost Island."

Bai Tingting was confused by Long Chen, she got up and asked: "You just said it's not suitable to attack, why did you attack again?"

Long Chen chuckled and said, "You will know when the time comes."

Wu Xiangyun and Zhang Qian got up, and immediately went to discuss with Wu Chuchu and Dugu Jiali.

Long Chen figured it out and felt comfortable all over. He got up and went back to his room to sleep. Bai Tingting chased after him and asked, "Have you thought of a way to defeat the enemy? Tell me?"

Walking to the door of the room, Long Chen pushed the door open and said, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

Bai Tingting sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you by dancing sword in my dream?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "I'm afraid you undressed in your dream and threw your underwear on me."

Bai Tingting said angrily, "Shameless!"

Turning around and leaving the courtyard angrily, Long Chen went back to his room to sleep.

...

Early the next morning.

Long Chen got up and washed, had breakfast, put on his armor, and when he arrived outside the door, the soldiers and horses had already been rectified, and 8000 people lined up neatly.

Zhang Qian, Wu Jian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting were waiting at the door.

"My lord, you can go."

Zhang Qian said.

Long Chen nodded, got on his horse, opened the east gate, and headed for Ghost Island.

Qianjiang County is not far from the sea, and it is only one day's journey at full speed.

A day later, the army reached the seashore.

Dugu Jiali looked at the boundless sea and exclaimed, "The sea is so big!"

Long Chen smiled and said: "You should say: Ah, Da Hai, you are so big!"

Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun laughed: "Your words are really good."

Dugu Jiali knew that Long Chen was teasing herself, and said with a smile: "The final general does not have the literary talent of an adult, so I can only say this."
