From eunuch to emperor

Zhong Gui came in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Son wants you to discuss matters."

These days, Zhong Gui was worried because he was afraid that some minister would report on Li Chengdao, saying that he did not report what he knew.

Up to now, no minister has reported anything, and everything is calm as usual.

Li Chengdao got up slowly and asked, "Do you know anything?"

Zhong Gui said: "The water outside has receded, and we are presumably discussing the matter of advancing troops."

Li Chengdao changed his clothes, put on the armor, went out of the yard, and saw a escort standing outside.

"Greetings to the emperor, the Son of Heaven welcomes..."

Before the escort finished speaking, Li Chengdao walked to the ghost room by himself.

Darts were completely ignored.

Walking on the road, I happened to meet Yan Xi and Wu Hongying, who were talking about Wang Gui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

The flood caused many soldiers to die, and many ministers also died of illness.

Wang Gui was old and couldn't stand the torment, the sky was raining heavily, the ground was stagnant, and the lake was filled with dirty things. Wang Gui died of diarrhea in three days.

Seeing Li Chengdao, the two immediately saluted, but Li Chengdao ignored them.

"Stop talking..."

Yan Xi said something in a low voice, and the two hurried to the commander's mansion.

When they arrived at the yard, the bodyguards were sweeping the mud, while Xuanjizi and Yu Ziming were kneeling outside the door.

Li Chengdao also knelt down and said: "Slave Li Chengdao, pay homage to the Holy Son."

Yan Xi and Wu Hongying followed and knelt down.

When the crowd was all together, the ghost got up and walked out, and began to order: "The water has finally receded, and there are not many good soldiers in the city. Immediately ask Xu Feng of Qingren County to lead troops for reinforcements."

"Wait until the reinforcements arrive, and then replace the soldiers in the city. In this state, we can't fight."

The situation in the city is very clear to the devil, these soldiers must be replaced.

He didn't let the soldiers leave immediately, but waited for the reinforcements to arrive.

"At the same time, tell Beiling City and Zhongwu City to prepare for a sneak attack by Long Chen at this time."

The ghost continued to give orders, and several people lay down on the ground to take orders.

"Everything is arranged by the dog slave! Go!"

After the ghost fetus gave orders, several people left the yard.

"How is the situation in Xianhe City?"

The ghost fetus asked Feng Erniang, she was in charge of intelligence investigation.

Linhu City is in a weak state at this time, Long Chen will definitely take action.

So as soon as the flood receded, Qingren County urgently dispatched troops for reinforcements.

I wanted to go earlier, but the flood flooded the surrounding area, and the soldiers and horses of Qingren County still drank soup when they came.

Feng Erniang said: "No change has been found yet, only the last time Yingfeng and Wu Jian dispatched [-] troops to reinforce Hukou, and now they have also entered the city."

"During heavy rain, Xianhe City is closed, and no soldiers or horses are dispatched."

This is the information sent back by the escort.

The ghost was a little puzzled, and said: "Such a good opportunity, why does this fellow stand still?"

Feng Erniang said: "Heavy rain is the same to everyone, and the Long family army can't march in the rainstorm."

Ghost Tai's white and hard fingers tapped on the table, shook his head slightly and said: "No, no, this guy must have something to do, you can explore again!"

The ghost said that there must be an action, so there must be, Feng Erniang dared not say any more.

"Slaves go to investigate immediately!"

Feng Erniang immediately sent someone to investigate again.

The front yard of the handsome mansion.

Li Chengdao sat down, Yan Xi, Wu Hongying, Xuanjizi, and Yu Ziming took their seats in turn.

Yan Xi, Wu Hongying, and Yu Ziming knew about the disaster relief and had doubts in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out.

Now that the water has receded, they will not mention it.

"The Holy Son ordered me to arrange, everyone obey!"

Li Chengdao issued the order in the name of a ghost, lest people like Xuanjizi would not listen.

The four sat up straight, waiting for Li Chengdao to issue an order.

"Yu Shangshu immediately withered the Ministry of War and ordered Xu Feng of Qingren County to send 50 troops to reinforce Linhu City."

Yu Ziming replied immediately: "Decree!"

Li Chengdao continued: "Order Beiling City and Zhongwu City to strengthen their defenses, and at the same time strengthen the surrounding patrols and defenses to prevent the Long family's army from crossing the defense line!"

Yu Ziming continued to reply: "Decree!"

Li Chengdao said to Yan Xi again: "Commander Yan, immediately classify the soldiers in the city, keep those who are healthy and can fight, and separate those with problems. When the reinforcements from Qingren County arrive, they will be sent out of the city immediately!"

Yan Xi replied: "Decree!"

Li Chengdao turned his head and said to Wu Hongying: "Immediately order the Tai Hospital, and at the same time order the surrounding counties to send their medicines!"

After the flood, there must be a big epidemic. Li Chengdao knew this very well, so he needed to allocate medicine.

Wu Hongying immediately stood up and said: "Decree!"

After Li Chengdao finished his orders, he got up and went back to his yard.

From the beginning to the end, Li Chengdao didn't say a word to Xuan Jizi.

The three of Yu Ziming immediately complied, and Xuanji went back to the house angrily.

If you have an errand, you worry that it will be difficult to handle, if you don’t have an errand, you worry that you are useless, and you are not happy at all.

The messenger received the order and immediately sent the order to various cities.

A horse stepped out of the east gate on a pontoon bridge. The mud outside was very thick. The horse walked for more than a mile with one deep foot and one shallow foot, before the mud under its feet became a little firmer.

The messenger scolded: "Long Chen, the dog day, made us suffer so badly!"

After cursing, he rode his war horse and galloped to Beiling City.

Beiling City is more than 100 miles away from Linhu City, and it will take some time for the war horses to arrive.

In addition, after the heavy rain, some roads were cut off, making it more difficult to travel.

In the evening, the messenger was still more than 20 miles away from Beiling City.

"I won't walk at night, please."

It is dangerous to walk at night when the road is cut off, and the messenger wants to arrive before dark.

After walking a few hundred meters, I saw a horse parked by the side of the road with a person sitting on it.

"Long Chen..."

When the messenger saw it, he trembled with fright, turned around and wanted to run away.

Several horses rushed out of the woods behind them, blocking the messenger's retreat.

"What are you running for?"

Several horses approached slowly, and the messenger shouted tremblingly: "I'm just a messenger, King Wu, please spare me!"

After speaking, the messenger jumped off his horse, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Long Chen rode over and said with a smile: "That's right, I recognize this king."

"What are you doing? To deliver a letter?"

The courier immediately presented the secret letter on his back and said: "The small one is just delivering the letter, I don't know the specific content."

Long Chen took the burden, opened the secret letter, it was Yu Ziming's letter, stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War.

Yu Ziming asked Tong Yuan to guard Beiling City and be careful of Long Chen's sneak attack, and at the same time send the medicine in the city to Linhu City.

Long Chen received the secret letter and asked, "How is the situation in Linhu City?"

The messenger did not dare to hide anything, and said truthfully: "It's very bad, almost all of them are sick, and few of them can move."

"I heard that the Holy Son asked Qingren County to urgently increase its troops by 50. When the reinforcements arrive, everyone will withdraw."

Sure enough, Guitai planned to change a group of people, just like Long Chen expected.

However, how could Long Chen sit back and watch ghosts mobilize reinforcements.

"Want to die?"

Long Chen smiled and looked at the messenger, who said tremblingly: "No, King Wu, spare me!"
