From eunuch to emperor

Wu Sheng opened his mouth to discuss matters, the demon glanced at Li Chengdao, and the three-month-old ghost general behind him did not speak.

They are the second generation, and it is not their turn to speak here.

"Priest, tell me."

After asking, no one answered, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so the ghost girl asked the demon directly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that the time has come to send troops, and the training of our warriors has also been completed."

The devil's talent lies in medicine and housekeeping, military is not her strong point, so she can't say anything.

The ghost girl nodded slightly, turned to look at Li Chengdao, Wu Sheng asked, "Li Chengdao, what do you think?"

Li Chengdao raised his head slightly respectfully, and replied: "The high priest is right, and the slave agrees. With the heavy snow coming, the time is ripe to send troops."

Wu Sheng said coldly: "Nonsense, is this what this king wants to hear?"

Li Chengdao bowed his head and dared not speak.

"How do you think the troops should be dispatched? Where is the direction of the first attack?"

Wu Sheng did not continue to reprimand, Li Chengdao is the only general he can use, and the Xuanwu sword will be of great use at that time.

"Slaves dare not speak rashly."

The ghost girl said coldly: "If you tell me, you can say it!"

Only then did Li Chengdao slowly reply: "The slave thought that he would attack Yuncheng first, then attack Yanmen Pass, or avoid Yanmen Pass directly, enter Xixia from Yuncheng, and then go east to defeat the Eastern Zhou capital, and then turn around and go north to attack Yanmen Pass from the south."

"Throw away Xixia, break through the capital, and Yanmen Pass loses logistics supplies, so it can be easily broken."

Li Chengdao's point of view is very clear, to avoid the truth, to attack the weak links of the Great Zhou, and not to start the war at Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass was fought several times, and each time it encountered strong fortifications and suffered losses repeatedly.

The smart way is to avoid it, rather than smashing it at Yanmen Pass.

The demon glanced at Wu Sheng and Gui Nu, and found that their faces were a little cold, and immediately said: "Li Chengdao, are you afraid of being beaten by Long Chen? With such a roundabout battle, we will fight until the year of the monkey?"

"Furthermore, we lead our troops deep into the Central Plains of Western Xia. If Long Chen sends troops to block it, we won't even have a way out."

Li Chengdao replied: "High Priest, Long Chen's advantage lies in Yanmen Pass. They are on the defensive side, and we are on the offensive side. We have been severely injured by the pre-buried gunpowder several times, and there are still firearms in the city."

"If we don't attack Yanmen Pass, or even if we don't attack Yuncheng, go around and attack the hinterland, we can avoid firearms."

"After we entered the hinterland, Long Chen had to send troops to rescue. After those soldiers left the city, their fighting power was far inferior to that of our saint warriors. We will surely win."

Li Chengdao has been thinking about this issue for a long time, and this is the most sensible choice.

Of course, Li Chengdao also knew that this wise choice should not be adopted.

The demon sneered and said, "This time, our saint clan gathered [-] warriors just to avenge Yanmen Pass, why would they run around with them?"

The demon doesn't understand the art of war, so Li Chengdao didn't want to argue with her, so he turned to look at Wu Sheng and Gui Nu, waiting for them to decide.

The ghost girl looked at Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng was silent for a moment, and said: "You are right, according to the ordinary art of war, it is true."

"But it's not necessary. We are not fighting a protracted war. As long as Long Chen is killed, this war will end."

Long Chen is very powerful, Wu Sheng has suffered a lot, but Wu Sheng is still unwilling to put Long Chen in the same position, he always treats Long Chen as a junior.

If there is a war with Longyuan, Wu Sheng will adopt Li Chengdao's strategy, bypass Yanmen Pass, and attack the hinterland with a large army.

But he couldn't deal with Long Chen, he felt that Long Chen was not worthy.

Moreover, Long Yuan has Di Feng under his command, as well as other generals, killing Long Yuan cannot completely reverse the situation.

Long Chen is different, only Long Chen is powerful, as long as he kills Long Chen, everything can be solved easily.

Therefore, Wu Sheng wanted to go straight to Yanmen Pass, kill Long Chen, and end the war.

Wu Sheng's statement was consistent with the Demon Spirit's. The Demon Spirit was very happy, and immediately said: "The king is wise, and I also feel that there is no need to detour, directly attack Yanmen Pass, kill Long Chen, and this war will be over."

The ghost girl glanced at the demon spirit, and she felt that what Li Chengdao said made more sense.

"Wait for Cheng Hui's news, attack wherever Long Chen is."

Wu Sheng made the final decision and decided on the attack strategy.

The demon bowed: "Your Majesty is wise."

Li Chengdao also bowed: "The king is wise."

Knowing that Wu Sheng would not adopt it, Li Chengdao still expressed his point of view. He did this to show his loyalty.

Of course he hoped that Wu Sheng would lead troops to attack Yanmen Pass, and fight Long Chen in the dark before the battle, then he could take advantage of the vacancy, destroy Wu Sheng and ghost girl, control the army of ghost clan, and finally counterattack and restore the country.

"Li Chengdao, get ready, as soon as Cheng Hui's news arrives, send troops immediately."

The Martial Sage gave the order, and Li Chengdao immediately bowed: "The servant leads the order."

The ghost girl looked at the demon spirit, and the demon spirit bowed: "My minister leads the decree, the saint warriors are ready to fight."

Wu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Go and prepare."

Li Chengdao withdrew from the ice palace, Wu Sheng got up and went back to his room to practice, his injuries were still not completely healed.

"Is there still no news from Wang'er?"

After the man left, the ghost girl suddenly asked the devil.

The ghost girl has accepted that the ghost fetus is dead, but as a mother, she has been pregnant for 200 years and still hopes that the ghost fetus will live.

"His Majesty..."

The devil sighed helplessly. The search for ghost fetuses continued, but there was no news and no ghost fetuses could be found at all.

There was no news from Qin Hao either. It seemed that the two of them were really dead.

The ghost is persistently looking for the ghost. After Wu Sheng confirmed that Qin Hao was dead, he didn't mention Qin Hao again, and instead supported Li Chengdao.

"Let's look for it again, maybe... maybe after we send out troops, Wang'er can join us."

The ghost girl was lucky and still hoped that the ghost fetus would appear.

"If... it will."

The devil wanted to say that if the ghost fetus was still alive, but after thinking about it, this statement was not good, so he changed his words again.

"Go ahead and get ready for the expedition."

The ghost girl waved her hand, and the demon exited the room.

...

Yanmen Pass.

Long Chen was wearing a cloak, followed by Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting, and the three came back through the snow.

At this time, Yanmen Pass was covered with thick white snow, and the cold wind blew the snow on the surface, and the snow particles were blown into flocculent mist.

The snow this winter is extraordinarily heavy, the temperature is extraordinarily low, and the cold style is extraordinarily fierce.

Walking into the gate, the patrolling soldiers found it and immediately stepped forward to question it.

"Meet King Wu."

The soldiers found out that Long Chen had returned, and happily paid homage to see him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Long Chen smiled, and led Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting into the pass.

After putting away the things and changing clothes, the three of them went to the empress' room.

Ziyun and Miaoyin were sitting by the window making tea and playing chess, the cold wind was blowing outside, and the teapot inside was emitting slight steam, making them feel lazy and relaxed.

"My minister pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

The three of Long Chen entered the room directly, but the shadow guard did not notify.

The empress was looking at the deployment map, when she heard the voice, she looked up and saw Long Chen and the other three, and said in surprise: "You guys are here!"

Seeing Long Chen coming back, Ziyun and Miaoyin put down the chess pieces in their hands, and said with a smile: "A while ago I received the news that you are coming back, and you are here today, I thought it would take a while."

It is not easy to walk when it is snowing heavily, the time required will be doubled, and the date of Long Chen's arrival has been brought forward.

"The two sisters don't want me to come back?"

Long Chen said with a smile.

"How come, we think about it day and night, and hope that my brother will come back soon. It's freezing cold, and it's only warm with my brother."

The owner of Miaoyin stared straight at Long Chen, wishing he could immediately put on the quilt to warm up.

The empress frowned and said, "If you have something to say, go back to the room and say it, how decent it is."

Miaoyin giggled and quickly cleared the chessboard.

Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting stared fiercely at Long Chen from behind, cursing Long Chen for being a prodigal son in their hearts.
