From eunuch to emperor

When Long Chen came out of Xifeng City and passed through the Jade Buddha Pass, he originally wanted to see Meng Lan again, but his body was exhausted these two days, and Meng Lan was also at the age of a wolf and a tiger, Long Chen was worried that his body would not be able to bear it.

Riding through the Jade Buddha Pass, Long Chen quickly returned to Zhenguo Temple.

As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he met Wu Jian and said, "My lord, Monk Kongji has left Yangcheng, and he has returned to Xingqing City."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "It's not a surprise, Xingqing City is in chaos now, Shi Le is worried that I'm fishing in troubled waters, so it's not wrong to send Kong Ji back to take charge of the overall situation."

Wu Jian asked: "My lord, only Shi Le is left in Yangcheng. This is a good opportunity."

"Also, the matter of Qiuzitang has worked. The soldiers in Yangcheng lost their morale, and many soldiers started to make trouble."

"Last night there was a mutiny in the barracks, which was suppressed by Shi Le's troops. Now they are scattered."

Long Chen thought for a while and said, "Go to the commander's mansion on the top of the mountain to discuss matters."

When Long Chen went up the mountain, Wu Jian immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.

At the top of the mountain, Wu Xiangyun stopped in front and asked coldly: "My lord, you didn't return home at night, where did you go?"

Long Chen said solemnly: "I went to investigate Shi Le's movements, and I brought other people here to discuss matters at the commander's residence."

Long Chen prevaricates with business matters, but Wu Xiangyun is well aware of the fraud, so it is difficult to say anything.

Military affairs are the most important thing, she can't mess around anymore.

Wu Xiangyun immediately called the other four people over, and they entered the meeting hall of the Shuai Mansion together.

Long Chen sat in the middle, Wu Jian led Han Ziping, Tang Heizi, and Ye Chang, Zhang Qian was on the other side, and He Juntao was also there.

There is a map in the middle of the table, which marks the important cities and fortresses of Xixia.

"Old Wu, tell me about the situation."

Long Chen left for a while, Wu Jian is the most familiar with the situation now.

Wu Jian held a thin bamboo pole, pointed to the map and said, "This is our Zhenguo Temple, and this is Yangcheng."

"Currently, Shi Le has assembled almost 50 troops in Yangcheng. I guess this is all the troops of Xixia."

"At Zhenguo Temple, Shi Le lost hundreds of thousands of troops. Xixia has only so many troops in total. It is almost impossible for him to increase his troops."

Zhenguo Temple launched a surprise attack and a siege, and Shi Le suffered heavy losses.

Both ordinary soldiers and generals suffered heavy losses.

Shi Le's ability to gather 50 troops is already the limit.

Wu Jian continued: "From the perspective of military strength, we are at an absolute disadvantage. We only have 20 Longjia troops, and there are almost 2 soldiers killed or injured. They can no longer fight."

"However, judging from the morale, the soldiers in Yangcheng are currently in turmoil, and there was even a mutiny last night."

"The incident at the Qiuzi Hall in Zhaoti Temple has dealt a severe blow to morale, and there have been riots in the surrounding counties."

"So, I think it is completely possible to start a war with Shi Le in Yangcheng. The situation has changed."

Wu Jian was still talking, He Juntao went out suddenly, and came back soon.

"My lord, I just got the news that after Kong Ji left Yangcheng, he was intercepted and killed on the way, and now his life and death are uncertain."

He Juntao looked at Long Chen with surprised eyes, she thought that Long Chen had arranged the killing.

Long Chen said inexplicably: "What do you think I am doing? It's not me!"

He Juntao asked in surprise, "It wasn't arranged by the adults? Who is that?"

Long Chen had already thought about it, and said, "I guess it's Shen Wanjin."

Everyone was surprised: "Shen Wanjin? Why is he here?"

Long Chen said: "Shen Wanjin has arrived a long time ago, he is in Yangcheng, I guess his target is the secret law of the Western Xia royal family, the Wild Lion Jue."

"This guy has been lurking in Yangcheng for a long time, but he has never found a suitable opportunity."

"It's a good opportunity for the empty old bald donkey to leave Yangcheng alone this time."

"However... I guess Shen Wanjin is unlikely to succeed. Kong Ji's old bald donkey is not bad at cultivation. If he wants to run away, Shen Wanjin can't catch up with him."

Bai Tingting felt it was a pity, and said: "Shen Wanjin would just kill Kong Ji, as the two dogs bite each other, it is best to die together."

Wan Jinlou assassinated Long Chen, Bai Tingting didn't have any good feelings for Wan Jinlou.

Moreover, Yan Shuangyu from the Jade Buddha Building hooked up with Long Chen, which made Bai Tingting and the other four unhappy.

Long Chen said with a smile: "The idea is good, but it's impossible. Kongji old bald donkey is smart, and Shen Wanjin is not stupid."

Zhang Qian asked He Juntao: "You mean, Shen Wanjin didn't succeed? Will he continue to hunt him down?"

He Juntao shook his head and said, "I can't guess about this matter either."

Everyone looked at Long Chen, and if they had to say the most accurate guess, of course it was Long Chen.

"It's hard to say, Shen Wanjin came from the capital himself, he is determined to win."

"What I'm thinking is, if Monk Kong Ji escapes, will he choose to flee back to Xingqing City, or turn around and return to Yang City?"

Kong Ji ran halfway, whether to go forward or run back, this is a question.

If he continued to move forward, Shen Wanjin might continue to block him.

If he ran back and Shen Wanjin made a mistake in his judgment, Shen Wanjin went to Xingqing City, and returned to Yangcheng empty and silent, it would be nothing.

He Juntao immediately understood the meaning, and said, "This subordinate will go and investigate to find out where Kong Ji is."

Long Chen nodded slightly, and He Juntao immediately went out to inquire.

Wu Jian continued: "Although there are 50 troops in Yangcheng, the morale of the army is weak. If we concentrate our forces and attack fiercely, the Xixia army will surely collapse."

"As for Kong Ji, whether he is in Yangcheng or not, if we want to fight for generals, we still have the advantage."

"Your Excellency singled out Shi Le, we should besiege Kong Ji, it should be fine."

This time, Long Chen had the upper hand.

Wu Jian, Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu, the four Martial Emperor masters are here, together with Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun Luezhen, it is definitely not a problem to suppress the empty monk.

What's more, Long Chen can also choose the tactic of defeating alone, and attack Kong Ji alone, first beat Kong Ji to death and maim him, and then turn around and besiege Shi Le.

Long Chen nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, give Shi Le a challenge, two days later, the decisive battle in Yangcheng!"

Wu Jian happily took the pen and ink, and Long Chen simply wrote down a line: Two days later, the decisive battle in Yangcheng will take your head!

Then he took out the gold seal and stamped it with the four characters "Wu Wang of the Great Zhou Dynasty".

"Send it to Yangcheng!"

Long Chen received the gold seal, and Wu Jian immediately sent a messenger to Yangcheng to send a letter of challenge.

"Let the brothers have enough food, drink, and meat in the past two days, and send troops to Yangcheng in two days!"

Long Chen ordered that the generals immediately go down to prepare.

Long Chen returned to the room, and immediately picked up the pen and ink to write the battle report to the Empress.

The Yangcheng decisive battle is an important battle, and must be reported to the Empress.

Although the general will be away, the king's order will not be accepted, but important things must be played in time.

Generals hold heavy troops outside, the most taboo of the emperor is the general, if there is a slight sign of rebellion, he will be suspected.

As a general, you must be cautious.

According to the general situation, Long Chen not only had to report the battle situation and marching route in time, but also had to bribe the ministers of the court to let the ministers speak for him, so as to prevent slander from gossip in the court.

Of course, Long Chen's situation is special, he only needs to handle the relationship with the Empress well.

After analyzing the conditions of the decisive battle and writing out the general battle ideas, Long Chen wrote another letter, requesting Gongsun Linglong to start quietly sending troops to Jade Buddha Pass, the Thunder Fire Legion should prepare.

After finishing writing, Long Chen immediately sent it to the capital.
