From eunuch to emperor

After a few days, the soldiers at Yanmen Pass slowly recovered.

All the brothers who died in battle were buried, and Long Chen wanted to take them back to their hometown.

The wounded soldiers tried their best to treat them, but there were still many soldiers who did not make it through.

At the end of the count, more than 5000 soldiers were killed, more than 4 were injured, and more than 1 soldiers were unable to fight anymore.

After a battle, the Long family army lost nearly 5 people.

Everyone was shocked by the number of casualties.

Since the establishment of the Long Family Army, there has never been such a heavy casualty.

The situation on the barbarian side was not much better, with 2 killed and more than [-] injured.

After Tuzhi's persuasion, the barbarian fighters cheered up again, and more fighters were willing to fight.

In the meeting hall, the Empress sat in the middle, Long Chen sat on the left, Tu Zhi was beside him, Miao Yin, Gan Xin, and Mo Lin sat on the right.

Zhang Qian and other generals sat down in turn, Feng He, Yu Fuguo, Meng Yidao, and Zhuang Linger sat down in turn.

The barbarian general sat in the back row.

The empress glanced at the generals, took a deep breath, raised her tone, and said, "Generals, we experienced our first fierce battle a few days ago, and we have all seen the strength of the ghost clan."

"This is a war with no way out. We can only choose to defeat the ghosts, otherwise the Central Plains will never be peaceful, and the grasslands will be the same."

The empress looked at Tuzhi and the barbarian general behind him.

Tuzhi nodded slightly, and the barbarian generals behind him also agreed with what the empress said.

The grassland was the first place to be occupied by the ghost clan, or in other words, the ghost clan's stronghold was in the grassland.

10,000+ barbarians have become victims of the ghosts. If the ghosts are not defeated, their grassland will be lost forever, and the barbarians will no longer exist.

"This time, we suffered heavy casualties. More than 5000 people were killed by the Long Family Army, and more than 1 people were killed by the Wolf Clan."

"This is a tragic sacrifice that we have never had before. On behalf of the world, I thank all the soldiers for fighting the enemy bravely and fighting for the common people of the world."

"Our sacrifice was not meaningless. The five thousand elite soldiers of the ghost clan have also been killed. Gan Xin, Mo Linzhan and General Dugu killed the general of the ghost clan."

"This battle also shows that the ghost clan is not invincible. Even if the general Gao captured the tiger leader 400 years ago, we can defeat it."

"We are the winners of this Yanmen Pass defense battle, we have won!"

Everyone agrees on this point.

Although a tragic sacrifice was made, the Yanmen Pass was held and the army of the ghost clan was wiped out.

It was also because of this that everyone's morale slowly recovered.

"Yanmen Pass has become the gateway of the Central Plains and the people of the world. This is the place where our human race and the ghost race fight. We must defend it with all our might."

The Empress's tone was heavy and firm, and the generals also secretly made up their minds after hearing this. Only by guarding the Yanmen Pass can they guard the Central Plains.

"The ghost clan is fierce, we have already suffered a big loss."

"We have to change our combat strategy, this matter is arranged by King Wu."

The empress looked at Long Chen, and everyone's eyes also turned to Long Chen.

Long Chen cheered up and said: "Brothers, I am very grateful for your sacrifices in the battle. If you hadn't fought desperately, the ghost clan has already captured Yanmen Pass."

"The Holy One just said that the ghost race is fierce. If we continue to fight in the current way, we will suffer even greater losses."

"What this king means is to implement the elite soldier plan to improve the individual quality of soldiers."

Long Chen glanced at the crowd, and continued: "In the past, we only paid attention to the improvement of generals' cultivation, and did not pay attention to the cultivation of soldiers and generals at the grassroots level."

"This battle revealed a problem. Generals alone are not enough to defeat the ghost clan. We must improve everyone's cultivation."

"What this king means is to choose 3 people, [-] for the Long family army, and [-] for the wolf family."

Long Chen turned his head to look at Tu Zhi, Tu Zhi knew about it beforehand, but the barbarian general behind him didn't know.

Tuzhi looked back at the barbarian general, nodded slightly and said, "I agree, if the ghost tribe occupies the grassland, if the wolf tribe must participate in the war."

The barbarian generals behind him didn't know what was going on with the elite soldier plan, so Tuzhi agreed, and they didn't have any objections.

[-] elite soldiers, [-] from the Long family army, [-] from the barbarians, where did the other [-] come from?

The generals looked at Long Chen suspiciously.

Long Chen looked at the two people at the bottom, and said: "Old General, there are many people in Nanliang, at this critical moment, you must do your part."

It was about Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai.

The Southern Liang had just been unified, and the hearts of the people had not yet joined. It was not easy for Long Chen to lead them directly. Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai were the most suitable leaders.

Today's discussion, it is reasonable to say that Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai should not participate, it was Long Chen who personally notified them to participate.

The two veterans were not stupid, knowing Long Chen's intentions, they immediately got up and said: "No problem, we will return to the capital today."

The capital still has 20 Nanliang soldiers. They don't need to go back to Nanliang to recruit soldiers, they only need to command the soldiers of Nanliang.

Long Chen took out a booklet and continued: "The plan is divided into two steps. After the [-] elite soldiers are assembled, this king will personally train them, and the other soldiers will be reformed to restrain the ghosts with the army."

"The training method has been formulated, and everyone will implement it according to the king's plan."

The generals nodded slightly, all under Long Chen's command.

After talking about the army, Long Chen looked at Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er, and said: "Back then, this king gathered people from the rivers and lakes in Linhu City and gave them the formula of longevity and the mind of the Long family. These people should have learned something."

"The two of you are in charge of contacting people in the martial arts. Anyone who is willing to come will come. As long as you come, I will reward you with better exercises!"

The cultivation of people in the martial arts is much better than ordinary things, the problem is that they are not easy to control.

But now I don't care about so much, I want everyone who can fight.

Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er stood up and said: "The last general takes orders."

Long Chen looked at the Empress, and said, "That's all about these things, is there anything else you want to say, Your Majesty?"

The Empress shook her head slightly, and said: "No more, that's all, you follow King Wu's plan."

Everyone stood up and worshiped: "Observe the decree!"

The empress got up and went back, and everyone went out.

Long Chen caught up with Tu Zhi in two steps, and said: "Go back to the camp, I'll find you later."

Tuzhi nodded respectfully, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come over."

Both of them were princes in name, and Tuzhi couldn't show too much respect in front of the barbarian generals.

Long Chen patted Tuzhi on the shoulder and sent him out.

After Tuzhi left, Long Chen called Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai to the room.

After closing the door, Long Chen sat down and said: "The two old generals are of the same generation as my father, and I am a junior. The current situation is critical and we need the help of the two old generals. The soldiers in Nanliang also need the two old generals to persuade them. "

Hu Feiyang sighed slightly: "Needless to say, we have all seen it."

"Before we came, we were unwilling and wanted to see Li Chengdao again. Now that we see him, our hearts are also cold."

"What to do, we know very well, you don't need to say more."

Long Chen nodded, Qiu Kuohai patted Long Chen's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Back then, among the five brothers, you were the one who was the most noisy and the one with the best aptitude."

"A few years later, you became the King Wu of the Great Zhou, and the burden of dealing with the ghost clan fell on your shoulders."

The two veteran generals can understand how heavy this responsibility is.

"When the sky collapses and the earth collapses, someone has to stand up to withstand it. Where there is righteousness, do your part!"

Long Chen said it a bit tragically, no one knows what will happen in the follow-up battle.

Long Chen felt that his cultivation had come to an end, but Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl hadn't appeared yet.

When Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl woke up, Long Chen felt that he...should be invincible.

What should we do then?

How long can the human race last?

None of this is known, and no one knows.
