From eunuch to emperor

When the secret order was unfolded, Yan Shuangyu's expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong? Another difficult task?"

Seeing Yan Shuangyu's ugly face, Li Sanniang thought that Shen Wanjin had some difficult task.

Yan Shuangyu said: "Let's forget what the landlord said about Menglan, don't pursue it any further!"

Li Sanniang nodded slightly and said: "The death of Er Gouzi and Donkey Dan is too weird, they turned into mummies, I don't know who killed them."

"Looking at the appearance of the host, the murderer may be more terrifying than Long Chengen."

At first, both Yan Shuangyu and Li Sanniang suspected that it was Long Chen who destroyed the corpse.

But judging from Shen Wanjin's reaction, there should be someone else in this matter, and this person Shen Wanjin dare not mess with.

Yan Shuangyu said: "The landlord said that there will be no further investigation, so then there will be no further investigation."

"Go and rest, run back and forth for a few days, wash your body."

Li Sanniang went down to the attic and went to the backyard to wash up by herself.

Yan Shuangyu took the secret letter and read it again, sighed: "Long family skills? How can I ask?"

Meng Lan died, Shen Wanjin asked Yan Shuangyu to find a way to steal Long Chen's exercises.

Yan Shuangyu also felt a headache.

After thinking for a long time, seeing the peach blossoms blooming in the backyard, Yan Shuangyu wrote a letter and sent it to Zhenguo Temple.

...

Zhenguo Temple.

Fuhui is standing on the top of the mountain, directing a group of monks and iron kites to rebuild the hall.

Long Chen intends to rebuild Zhenguo Temple, but the worship is no longer the Buddha of Refuge, but Avalokitesvara and Amitabha.

If you want to destroy Xixia, you must destroy the refuge Buddha and suppress Zhaoti Temple.

Long Chen thought about replacing Buddhism with Taoism, but Long Chen really didn't like these bald donkeys.

But the people of Xixia prefer Buddhism, in order to win them over earlier, Long Chen thought to use Buddhism first, and then slowly switch to Taoism.

"This is the main hall, you have to be careful!"

Fuhui was wearing cassock, as if she was already the abbot of Zhenguo Temple.

Wu Jian brought Han Ziping and the three of them up from the bottom of the mountain to Long Chen's room, Fu Hui immediately nodded and bowed in salute.

"General Wu!"

"Abbot Fuhui, are you busy?"

Wu Jian smiled and said hello, Fu Hui is a pug now, Wu Jian greeted him like a dog.

Entering the room, Zhang Qian and the others were planning the follow-up attack around the table.

"Old Wu, sit down."

Long Chen pointed to the seat next to him, but Wu Jian sat down opposite, and said with a smile: "That's their seat."

The three of Han Ziping sat down next to Wu Jian tactfully.

Long Chen said with a smile: "Then sit down."

Zhang Qian and the other five sat down beside them.

Long Chen pointed to the map and said: "Shi Le intends to defend Yangcheng firmly and prevent us from attacking westward. Their current strength is approaching 40, and the defense around Yangcheng has been strengthening."

"What do you think?"

Wu Jian said: "This Shi Le is really capable of gathering so many people so quickly."

Han Ziping complained: "As the king of a country, it is really shameless to deceive the people with lies."

They all knew that Shi Le was able to recruit so many soldiers in a short period of time, all thanks to Zhao Lun's strategy.

Said that Long Chen wanted to eunuch all Xixia men, and then occupy their wives and daughters.

Long Chen smiled and said: "But it must be said, the effect is really good."

He Juntao said: "Your Excellency's strategy has also worked. The tyrants in Xixia are making trouble, and the ministers in the court have also played a memorial to Shi Le, protesting that Shi Le gave the tenants land."

In terms of land, there are the most ministers in the court, and their opposition is the most intense.

Long Chen said: "Let's get to the point, what are you going to do?"

Wu Chuchu pointed to the map and said: "Going west from Zhenguo Temple, you must pass through Yangcheng. If you can't capture Yangcheng, we won't be able to go further."

"So, this tough battle in Yangcheng has to be fought."

Bai Tingting said: "It is not wise to storm Yangcheng. Shi Le built Yangcheng so thickly. The consequences of our storm are the same as Shi Le's storming Zhenguo Temple."

"I suggest that, like last time, take some cavalry to detour into the hinterland of Xixia to attract the troops from Yangcheng. It is best not to attack the city."

Wu Jian nodded slightly, and said: "General Bai is right. It is best to attract the troops of Yangcheng. Attacking the city is the worst strategy."

Long Chen looked at several points on the map, Yangcheng, Bailang Mountain, Yuncheng, Panhe Palace, Xingqing City...

"Attract it, how to attract it?"

"If I take tens of thousands of cavalry around Yangcheng and enter the hinterland of Xixia, and Shi Le divides up [-] troops to surround them, then I will be blocked to death."

Long Chen looked at the map and said.

Bai Tingting followed the path of Long Chen's finger, shook her head slightly and said: "Then there is no other way, the only option left is to attack."

Long Chen knocked on the table, and said: "Let me think about it again, anyway, we are ready for a protracted war, and the spring plowing of Zhenguo Temple is done, we will have enough food, let's consume it slowly."

The surrounding land has been planted, and Long Chen is ready to fight for several years.

Shi strangled so many people to death, and transferred the elite to serve as soldiers, the treasury must be empty.

At that time, the common people will have no food to eat, the morale of the army will be unstable, and the country will be in chaos.

Wu Jian agreed: "This is also a way, waiting for Xixia to fail internally."

dong dong dong...

The door knocked, Han Ziping got up and opened the door, and a messenger stood at the door.

"King Wu, the Holy One has sent you a letter."

The messenger took out a bamboo tube, Han Ziping took it, closed the door, and presented the bamboo tube to Long Chen.

Opening the bamboo tube, Long Chen read the letter sent by the Empress, and said happily: "We won the battle here, Li Chengdao retreated, and the situation of Luo Xi and Ling Yi has improved."

Long Chen gave the letter to Wu Jian, and everyone was very happy to read it.

"Your Excellency is right, as long as we win the battle here, Li Chengdao will not desperately help Xixia."

Wu Jian was very happy, it was just as Long Chen expected.

Long Chen said: "Li Chengdao's purpose is to support Xi Xia and contain the troops of Great Zhou."

"Now that Shi Le has suffered two major defeats and has turned from offense to defense, Li Chengdao has to think about himself."

Zhang Qian said: "Then Li Chengdao must be worried. After we wiped out Xixia and turned to attack Nanliang, he should consider how to deal with it."

Long Chen said: "We must find a way to fight another battle earlier and capture Yangcheng. If we keep procrastinating, Li Chengdao will think that we are powerless to fight again."

If Li Chengdao thinks so, he will definitely attack again.

Long Chen must find a way to win another battle.

"Zhang Qian, Tang Heizi, you two, come with me to Yangcheng."

Long Chen ordered the two of them, both of them were cavalrymen.

Wu Jian asked: "My lord, do you want to see Yangcheng's defense in person?"

Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, if you don't go to Yangcheng to see it with your own eyes, you can't think of a way."

Bai Tingting said: "I'll go with the adults. Anyway, I'm not in charge of the army, so I have nothing to do here."

Zhang Qian and the others usually command troops, but Bai Tingting doesn't know how to lead troops, so she doesn't lead troops much.

"Okay, the three of you will go with me, and only bring two hundred Nilin troops."

Speaking of this, Long Chen said to Wu Jian: "Old Wu, a lot of Nilin troops were lost in the last battle, you can select some more."

Wu Jian said: "I'm in the process of selection, but the Nilin army is all elite, so it's not so fast to make up."

The 20 Long Family Army only selected 300 Nilin Army, which is the elite of the elite.

The last time there were nearly a hundred casualties, it would not be so easy to make up for it.

Long Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, take your time, the Nilin army is more skilled than too many, it's better to be short than to be excessive."

What Long Chen wants is the elite, not just to make up for it.

"Okay, let's go now."

Long Chen got up, everyone followed, and left the room, Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting went back to put on their armor and get their weapons.

At this time, a spy came up and said a few words to He Juntao.

He Juntao immediately came over and said to Long Chen: "My lord, Yan Shuangyu has something urgent to ask you to come over."

Long Chen frowned, and asked, "Yan Shuangyu is looking for me? What's the matter?"

There was nothing to do these days, why did Yan Shuangyu suddenly ask her?Got mad?

He Juntao said: "Someone sent a letter."

With that said, He Juntao handed Yan Shuangyu's letter to Long Chen.

Long Chen opened it to look, smiled, and said: "Tell that person, we'll talk about it in two days."

Yanshuang's jade letter said that the peach blossoms in the Jade Buddha Tower are in full bloom, so Long Chen is invited to drink and enjoy the flowers.

This is not a flower appreciation, it is a show of anger.

For Yan Shuangyu's flinging and hugging, Long Chen was always vigilant.

To be so diligent in doing things must have been instructed by Shen Wanjin.

Long Chen didn't know what Yan Shuangyu was planning, he would not attack Yan Shuangyu easily.

A gentleman is lustful, and he has the right way.

Don't fall into the trap of others in a daze.

After Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting put on their armors, Long Chen said: "Let's go! Let's go to Yangcheng!"
