From eunuch to emperor

Di Luoxi also felt strange. The soldiers in Quarry City suffered heavy casualties. If Nanliang continued to attack fiercely, they would definitely not be able to defend it.

"There is a problem with Nanliang, or Linjiang City has won."

Di Luoxi immediately made a judgment.

Li Xiannan asked: "Could the sage have arrived?"

Di Luoxi shook her head slightly, but she didn't know either.

After the three of Xue Ze retreated, Nanliang's army began to retreat, but they only stared at the Quarry City from afar.

"Send a fast horse to contact Linjiang City."

Di Luoxi needed information from Linjiang City.

People couldn't get out before, and even Feiying's letter was shot down.

Li Xiannan was about to send out his fast horse when he saw Yingfeng leading a cavalry to the city.

Di Luoxi immediately went down to the city, and Yingfeng came in, and seeing the heavy casualties in the city, she said with compassion: "Princess, the fight here is so brutal!"

Di Luoxi pointed to the outside of the city and said, "It's okay, they died more."

When the two sides are evenly matched, the side that attacked the city must have suffered more casualties.

"Is mother coming?"

"Yes, the Holy Majesty arrived in Linjiang City. Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai retreated ten miles. The Holy Majesty sent me to check on the situation in Caishi City."

"You saw it too, that's all."

After entering the commander's mansion, Li Xiannan summoned all the generals, and Qingyue stayed in the room because of her injury.

"The queen mother has arrived in Linjiang City, everyone can rest assured."

Di Luoxi first told everyone the most important news.

Hearing that the empress came in person, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief.

Nanliang's attack was too fierce this time, and everyone felt that there would be a day when they couldn't defend.

Finally, the empress came, and Nanliang retreated.

"There is another piece of good news to tell everyone that Dazhu Kingdom has recovered and has rushed to Jade Buddha Pass. It is estimated that Xixia has been repelled by this time."

Yingfeng knew that many people were worried about Long Chen's safety, so she also shared the good news.

Di Luoxi, Wu Chuchu and the other female generals felt at ease.

"Xiao Longlong went to Jade Buddha Pass, and the situation has stabilized."

Xuan Yi hugged Wu Xiangyun and said happily.

The Empress was in Linjiang City, Nanliang didn't dare to move, and when Long Chen arrived at Jade Buddha Pass, Xi Xia would definitely suffer.

In this way, the situation on both sides is stable.

"The Holy Majesty ordered me to come and express condolences. The supplies will be brought in one after another. Just hold on to them. When the good news comes from the Jade Buddha Pass, Nanliang should retreat."

Di Luoxi nodded and said, "I guess it's the same, and it was the same in Nanliang last time."

The news of the female emperor's personal conquest spread throughout the Quarry City, and the soldiers were very excited. Supplies and various medicinal materials were sent to the Quarry City. The situation was stable, and everyone was waiting for the news of the Jade Buddha Pass.

...

To the north of Xixia, a group of 500 cavalry marched rapidly.

The equipment and armor on the cavalry were all dressed up in Western Xia iron kites, and there was no difference.

"My lord, there are people ahead!"

A burst of dust flew up ahead, and Long Chen saw a group of hundreds of cavalry rushing towards him.

"Ready to fight!"

Bai Tingting shouted in a low voice.

Long Chen waved his hand and said, "Slow down, listen to my orders! Keep going."

The cavalry continued to advance north, and the two sides soon encountered each other.

"Which army do you belong to!"

The general leading the team on the opposite side stopped in the horse and asked questions.

Long Chen took out his waist card, shook it, and said: "Under the order of the national teacher, hunt down and kill the Eastern Zhou rangers! Which army do you belong to!"

The general who led the team said: "I am Mao Jian, the captain of Yuncheng, and I am ordered to search for the traces of the Eastern Zhou bandits. Have you not received the king's order?"

Long Chen shook his head and said: "We came out of the Jade Buddha Pass, and the national teacher ordered us to search north. We didn't stop along the way, and we don't know the king's orders."

The captain saw that these people were wearing iron kite armor and their bodies were covered with dust. They really looked like they were running for a long distance.

"Yesterday, we received a letter from the Royal Flying Eagle saying that Wang Shang sent 20 soldiers to round up the Eastern Zhou bandits, and we were ordered to search for them."

Long Chen said in astonishment: "The national teacher said that there were only a few hundred bandits in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and after a few big battles, it is estimated that there were only less than 200 people, and the king actually raised 20 troops. This..."

Captain Yuncheng shook his head and said: "Brother, I am also very strange. I heard that Wang Shangzhi is sure to win the important figures of the Rogue Middle East Zhou."

Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "We have been out for many days, but we don't know the news."

"Brother, haven't you seen any traces of the bandits in the north?"

Lieutenant Yuncheng said: "No, we are going to search south, so don't go north, go south."

Long Chen smiled and said: "Brother, even if we came from the south, there is no one."

Captain Yuncheng scolded: "His grandma, how do you find these hundreds of rogues?"

Long Chen looked up at the scorching sun, and said: "Forget it, they are all working under orders, the sun is very poisonous, you go your way, I go mine, take a break at noon, you'll die from the sun!"

Lieutenant Yuncheng thought it was the same. Anyway, there were 20 troops rounding up and searching, and it was almost enough.

"Okay then, let's go!"

Lieutenant Yuncheng continued to search south with the cavalry, while Long Chen rode his horse north.

When they were far away, Bai Tingting said in surprise: "Sir, let's go back. Shi Le raised 20 troops to round up. This is no joke."

Captain Leng Yu also broke out in a cold sweat and said, "My lord, 20, just kidding, we only have 500 people."

The general behind him was also frightened.

Long Chen said with a smile: "Shi Le thinks highly of us, we have to give face, if he wants to play, we will play with him."

Bai Tingting said: "But the difference in military strength is too great. They have 20 troops and we only have [-]. How can we fight?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "Who said we want to fight them? We run around and take them for a walk."

Seeing that Long Chen was confident, Bai Tingting didn't say anything else, and continued to go north.

Half a day later, Long Chen arrived at a city in the north.

This is the northernmost fortress of Xixia—Yuncheng.

The captain just now came from here.

In the past, Xixia had a good relationship with the barbarians, and the border did not need to be defended. The troops were placed in Zhenguo Temple to confront the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

After Long Chen pacified the barbarian grassland, Xixia began to rebuild Yuncheng and sent troops to guard it.

"arrive."

Long Chen looked at Yuncheng and said.

Colonel Leng Yu said: "Yuncheng, the junction between Xixia and the barbarians, has [-] defenders."

All the soldiers looked at Long Chen, obviously worried.

[-] defenders are not many, but Long Chen's troops are even smaller, and it is impractical to attack the city.

"There may not be so many in the city. Didn't we encounter cavalry searching outside just now?"

"Follow me in and have a look. Be careful, don't reveal your secrets. If you don't know how to act, just pretend to be tired."

Long Chen gave orders, and then rode to the city.

The gates of Yuncheng were closed.

Xixia has a bad relationship with the barbarians, and they are afraid that Long Chen will flee to the grassland, so the gate of the city will not be opened.

"Brother, open the door!"

Long Chen shouted towards the city.

The Yuncheng defenders also saw Long Chen, and saw that the armor was made of iron kites, so they didn't shoot arrows.

"Where did you come from!"

"Brother, we came from the Jade Buddha Pass. We were ordered by the national teacher to search for the rogues. We have been running for a few days, and the people and horses are thirsty. Give us some water!"
