From eunuch to emperor

The young general led the girl to continue to the north, while Long Chen led the troops to continue to the south.

After walking for a few miles, Long Chen extinguished the torch, and continued to walk south quietly.

"My lord, why don't you kill those?"

Seeing that the young general has many wives and daughters, Bai Tingting feels aggrieved.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. Besides, this is their internal matter in Xixia, and it has nothing to do with us."

Long Chen knew that those people were nothing, but he couldn't be a saint.

Xixia poisoned the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to retaliate and attack their own people. That is an internal conflict, so don't worry about it.

Captain Leng Yu also said: "If we do something, Shi Le will definitely find out that none of us will be able to leave."

Bai Tingting sighed and said nothing more.

In the middle of the night, after finally breaking out of Shi Le's encirclement, Long Chen found a place and ordered the whole army to sleep and rest.

...

Shi Le led his soldiers and horses to the north in a mighty attack. On the way, he met many people who had escaped from Yuncheng.

They all said that Long Chen was in Yuncheng, killing people and setting fire to destroy the city walls.

Shi Le was even more convinced that Long Chen was in Yuncheng, and ordered the whole army to advance at full speed.

Monk Kong Ji was the same, he was overjoyed to learn that Long Chen was still there from the refugees, and sped towards Yuncheng.

The 25 armies of the two armies marched to Yuncheng in a mighty manner, and it was already light at this time.

Shi Le took Shi Haoran and Lu Qichang to the outside of Yuncheng, and saw the ruined city walls and gates, except for a few people inside, it was already an empty city.

"My lord, the national teacher has arrived!"

Monk Kong Ji rode over and said: "The poor monk pays homage to the king."

Shi Le waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, search!"

The army surrounded the dilapidated Yuncheng, and then entered the city in all directions to search.

The stewardess and Shi Haoran walked in with a group of guards surrounding Shi Le.

Walking through the streets, you can see the defenders who were killed, but you can't see the civilians who were killed.

Captain Mao Jian followed behind the team, feeling strange in his heart, why did Long Chen capture the city, but didn't start a massacre?

"Boss, why didn't you massacre the city?"

"Yeah, it just destroyed the city, it's really weird."

Mao Jian scolded in a low voice: "Shut up for me, we met but didn't recognize it, be careful to kill!"

Only then did the men shut up and followed the team to continue the search.

Shi Le searched again, and finally entered the commander's mansion, but he didn't see any trace of Long Chen at all.

"This guy ran away."

Kong Ji was disappointed.

Seeing the corpse on the ground of the commander's mansion, Shi Le sat down in the main hall, and Lu Qichang ordered his men to move the corpse out.

Kong Ji sat down and said disappointedly: "This guy really ran away from the north."

Shi Haoran said angrily: "Father, this Shi Tao has failed to defend the soil, he should be beheaded!"

If Shi Tao could defend, Long Chen wouldn't be able to kill here and escape to the grassland from here.

Monk Kong Ji sighed: "It's useless to say this again, people have already run away."

The privy envoy Lu Qichang said: "Did Long Chengen really run to the north? Did he get out through the gap between us?"

Kong Ji shook his head, this question cannot be answered.

Hong Zheng ran over and said: "Your Majesty, Master, a living person was found in the backyard."

The eldest son Shi Haoran immediately went to the backyard and brought the man over. It was Yuncheng's army division.

"This is Su He, the military advisor."

Someone recognized the military division.

Kong Ji looked at the dying strategist Su He, and immediately took out a pill and fed it in, and gave him some water.

Su He slowed down, opened his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Long Cheng'en...going north... intends to enter the Eastern Zhou Dynasty...from Youguan...to return to Jade Buddha Pass..."

After hearing this, Shi Le showed disappointment on his face, and sighed, "Let this guy run away!"

Shi Haoran was not reconciled, and said: "Father, my son requests to lead three thousand troops to chase and kill him!"

Monk Kong Ji objected immediately: "My son can't do it!"

Shi Haoran argued: "Master, Long Cheng'en only has [-] troops, if you don't chase him now, it's like going back to the mountain!"

Kong Ji said: "Long Chengen is full of tricks, the son must not take risks, two of the poor monk's three major disciples were killed, and one was instigated against him, this official is too cunning!"

These words made Shi Haoran speechless.

Shi Le sighed: "Forget it, leave as soon as you leave, we destroyed the rear of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Long Chengen took revenge on us, so it's a tie."

Shi Le felt that the two sides were evened out, but Kong Ji didn't.

Shi Ming and Fa Ming who were sent there were killed, Zhenguo Temple was also burned, Yuncheng was destroyed, but Long Chen only lost a dozen cavalrymen, this loss is completely different.

"If we found out earlier, this guy would be dead!"

Shi Haoran said sadly.

Hong Zheng immediately said: "Your Highness, a captain in Yuncheng met Long Chengen on the way, but let them go."

Shi Haoran heard it and said angrily: "Kill!"

Hong Zheng immediately went out and ordered Mao Jian to be killed, but these people got wind of it, rode over the ruined city wall, and ran north into the grassland.

"Master, what are your plans now?"

Shi Le asked Kong Ji.

"The poor monk thought he would fight the Jade Buddha Pass, so he attacked head-on!"

Lu Qichang, the privy envoy, said: "The Jade Buddha Pass is strong, so a frontal attack might not be a good strategy."

Kong Ji said: "No, a frontal attack is the best strategy."

"Long Cheng'en is the best at sneak attacks. Although I will attack head-on, although there will be more casualties, the benefits are sure to win."

"If you use other strategies, I'm afraid you will lose."

In fact, Kong Ji couldn't think of any other way.

Shi Le agreed with Kong Ji's statement that although the frontal attack caused heavy casualties, it was relatively stable.

"Okay, this king agrees, we will gather our forces and go to Jade Buddha Pass now, while Long Cheng'en is still in the grassland, let's attack first."

Lu Qichang and Hong Zheng each rectified their troops and rushed back to Jade Buddha Pass.

"Father, what about Yuncheng?"

Shi Haoran looked worried at the dilapidated Yuncheng.

Shi Le said: "I don't care about him, after the Jade Buddha Pass is broken, I will come back and rebuild it."

Soldiers and horses were assembled, and the 25 troops rushed back to Yufoguan.

...

The sun rose early in the morning, and taking advantage of the coolness in the morning, Long Chen got on his horse and led the cavalry to continue marching towards the southeast.

"My lord, where are we going?"

Bai Tingting didn't know where Long Chen's goal was.

Leng Yu said with a smile: "If I'm not wrong, my lord's goal is the Panhe Palace."

There is a fertile wetland in the south of Xixia, where there is a palace built by Shi Le, which is used to escape the heat in summer.

"Yes, I will take my brothers to enjoy the king's treatment."

The cavalry behind them were very happy when they heard that they were attacking the palace.

"Follow Dazhu Kingdom, you can enjoy everything!"

The five hundred cavalry headed south in the wind.

In a day and a half, Long Chen arrived at Panhe.

The water and grass here are luxuriant, which is different from the desert in the north.

"There is a feeling of Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall."

Bai Tingting looked at the scattered cattle and sheep, as well as the mountains, forests and grasslands, and her mood improved.

"Look over there."

Long Chen pointed to a mountain in the distance, and there was a palace on the mountainside.

"Is that the palace?"

"Yes, it's there."

Captain Leng Yu had been here before and drew a map.

"Come on, let's be kings too!"

Long Chen rushed to the Panhe Palace with his cavalry.
