From eunuch to emperor

Xixia and Eastern Zhou fought at Yufo Pass, and all the officers and soldiers nearby were taken away, especially the monks and soldiers from Zhenguo Temple went to the front to fight.

Seeing the emptiness behind, the horse thief took the opportunity to come out to plunder at night.

Coincidentally, when they met the logistics transport team of Zhenguo Temple, the horse thief saw that the transport team had only a dozen people, and immediately rushed down to besiege and killed the monk soldiers.

Grab food and war horses, as well as women sent to the front line.

"What are you afraid of? When they come, we will run away. There are many valleys here, so we can't hide here."

The second child is very courageous, not afraid of the monks and soldiers of Zhenguo Temple.

The third child said: "Boss, what the second child said is right. They are here. If they can beat them, they will fight. If they can't beat them, they will run away. This time, we will have enough food for several years."

"And these girls, how handsome they are, hiding in the cave, eating, drinking and playing, what are you afraid of?"

The boss thinks about it too, play when you are full, and eat when you have enough, it is very refreshing.

"Yes, I'm afraid of hanging."

The boss laughed heartily.

"kill!"

Hundreds of people suddenly rushed out from both sides of the mountain road. The horse thief was startled and shouted: "Which mountain is it, I am..."

Before the horse thieves could call out their names, the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion rushed down and slaughtered the horse thieves.

Bai Tingting shook the Chasing Shadow Sword, and the three heads of thieves had already been beheaded.

These horse thieves are fine against common people and ordinary monks and soldiers, but they will die when they encounter masters.

"It's Xixia's war horse!"

Leng Yu picked the best horse for Long Chen.

Looking at the teeth and hooves, as well as the muscles on the body, it is indeed a first-class war horse.

"Now there's another mount."

The soldiers shouted good luck.

Bai Tingting asked: "My lord, what should I do with these girls?"

There are more than 30 young women in total, some of them are a little older, and they are wearing fairly flamboyant clothes.

Long Chen felt a bit of a headache, these women were obviously going to the front line to find lovers, so they couldn't keep them.

But if you kill...

"My lord, tie them up and throw them here."

"There are few people walking in this place, but it's not empty. When we find it, it will probably be two days later."

Leng Yu knew that Long Chen would not kill unarmed people.

"Okay, tie it up."

Leng Yu started, tied up the woman, and threw her on the side of the road.

Long Chen got on the horse and led the Xiaoqi Battalion to continue westward.

...

Red Rock Temple.

Kong Ji and Deshan were sitting in the Buddhist hall, when a monk with a swollen face strode in.

"Uncle, Master, the cavalry from the Tianxiahui in Xifeng City have gone back and said they don't care about this battle."

This monk is Hong Zheng, a disciple of Monk Deshan.

"What? Who said that?"

Monk Kongji was very surprised.

The cavalry team from the Tianxiahui went back and said they didn't care.

That is to say, Long Chen and the Tianxiahui reached a new agreement, the two parties may have reconciled, and the Tianxiahui might even support Long Chen.

"How could this be?"

Monk Deshan felt that something was wrong.

Hong Zheng said: "Master, just now news came out from Xifeng City that Tian Liang has delivered war supplies to Jade Buddha Pass again."

"Shortly after we withdrew from the siege, we saw their food and water being sent into the small town."

Monk Kongji stood up with a gloomy face, thinking non-stop.

Deshan felt distraught: "The world will encourage us to attack, and now they suddenly let go. What does this mean? Shake off the grind..."

Deshan wanted to say "kill the donkey by unloading the mill", but he had been scolded as a "bald donkey" and was very taboo about the word "donkey".

Kong Ji thought for a long time, and said, "The reason why the world will target the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is because it thinks that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is too strong and may break the balance of power in the world."

"However, we and Nanliang attacked at the same time, and Dong Zhou was beaten into a mess. The world will feel that Dong Zhou is not as strong as imagined."

"Plus there is a problem with Nanliang, and Li Chengdao didn't buy Tianxiahui's account, so Tianxiahui will be annoyed."

The news from Nanliang reached Kong Ji, he heard that Li Chengdao refused to see Hua Yiyi and the elder.

Deshan said: "So, will the world support Eastern Zhou this time?"

Kong Ji shook his head and said: "No, if the Tianxiahui fully supports the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it should withdraw all support."

"The current situation is that Foyuan Building is still supporting us, Xifeng City supports Long Chengen, and Tianxiahui has not fully decided to support Eastern Zhou."

"They want to continue the war and let our three countries consume each other."

Deshan scolded: "The gang of thieves of the Tianxiahui have always been so treacherous."

Kong Ji said: "I actually think that the world will want to weaken Eastern Zhou and Nanliang at the same time. This is our chance."

Deshan asked, "How do you see that?"

Kong Ji said: "If Li Chengdao doesn't buy it, the world will definitely be unhappy, and Nanliang is indeed still very powerful."

"As for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the people under heaven will probably wait and see. If we win, the people under heaven will probably acquiesce; if Long Chengen wins, the people under heaven will support us in weakening Eastern Zhou."

Deshan felt strange and asked: "Since the Tianxiahui still wants us to win, why doesn't it directly support us? Why do you make so many detours?"

Kong Ji sneered and said: "This is the treacherous part of Tianxiahui. I guess Long Chengen has given benefits. The two parties have an agreement, Tianxiahui will not tear their faces."

"So, no matter how we fight this battle, we will win in the end."

If Long Chen wins, the Tianxiahui will have the possibility to target Eastern Zhou again.

If Long Chen loses and Xixia occupies the city, the world will remain silent.

As long as the Jade Buddha Pass is still fighting, Nanliang will not stop fighting, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will always be attacked on both sides.

So, it's a winning battle.

Deshan praised: "Senior brother is still smart and his analysis is exquisite, but Long Chengen is not easy to deal with, we have to think of a way."

Kong Ji said: "Our advantage lies in the cavalry, let me find a way to lure Long Chengen out for a decisive battle."

"Send the battle report to the king and ask for more troops. We must maintain the superior force."

Deshan agrees with Kong Ji's opinion. After several battles, Deshan finds that the Long family army's combat effectiveness is very strong. If the strength is similar, he will not be able to take advantage.

"Brother, it's getting late, let's rest."

The plan was decided, the stone in Deshan's heart fell to the ground, and the feeling of sleepiness came up.

Kong Ji said: "You go to rest first, I will write the battle report to the king."

Deshan went to bed first, and Monk Kong Ji wrote a battle report and sent it to Xingqing City overnight.

...

Twilight.

Long Chen was sitting on a rock, gnawing on bread and dried mutton, while Bai Tingting dozed off next to him.

A soldier bowed his back and said, "Dazhu Kingdom, there are not many people inside, and there are estimated to be more than 3 people in the barracks outside."

Bai Tingting woke up, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "There are so few people in the barracks?"

Long Chen finished eating the bread, and took another sip of water.

"They attacked Jade Buddha Pass with all their might, and all the monks and soldiers from Zhenguo Temple were dispatched. The place should be empty."

Long Chen was hiding one mile outside Zhenguo Temple.

A sentry was sent just now to investigate the situation.

"Dazhu Kingdom, the general finally feels that it is time to do something."

Captain Leng Yu was a little excited.

It was the first time for him to perform such a task alone when he went deep into the enemy's rear.
