From eunuch to emperor

"General Zhang, if they forcibly break through the barrier, we may not have enough manpower."

His deputy, Han Xiu, said worriedly.

The soldiers and horses under their hands are not strong enough to block tens of thousands of people with tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, the defense of Yanmen Pass is aimed at the north, and it is easy to break through the pass from the south.

One of the generals said: "General Zhang, it's fine if we don't let them go. We will chase after King Wu arrives."

"It's winter now, the wind and snow are raging, and they can't go back far."

Zhang Man immediately said: "No, you must not let them go back. We must block them. After they go back, they may become ghosts. Think about the consequences."

The generals were silent, and they couldn't think of a good way.

"Go and arrange the defense, and tell the brothers, the barbarians are about to break through, and they must be guarded by me!"

Zhang Man finally decided to stick to Yanmen Pass and never let them go out.

The generals withdrew and immediately prepared to defend and fight.

Zhang Man sat down and thought to himself: It is difficult to block them, and it will be more troublesome for them to run around after blocking them.

The Great Zhou closed the Yanmen Pass, and the barbarians could not rush out. They might turn around and invade south, and the surrounding counties would suffer.

Rubbing the center of her eyebrows, Zhang Man sighed helplessly: "I can't control that much, stop it first."

Outside the door, a female soldier rushed in excitedly and said happily, "General, King Wu has arrived!"

Zhang Man was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly, and asked, "Who?"

The female soldier turned around happily, Long Chen walked in from the door, followed by two veterans.

"General Zhang has worked hard."

Long Chen walked in with a smile, Zhang Manxi descended from the sky, got up and said: "The last general will see King Wu."

Long Chen patted Zhang Man and said, "Sit down and talk."

Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai looked at the room and sat down slowly.

"I see it's noisy outside, what's the matter?"

Long Chen entered the customs just now, and the soldiers were all in a hurry, as if they were preparing for battle.

Zhang Man immediately reported the matter, saying: "These barbarians don't know what to do. King Wu kindly asked them to retreat to the south of Yanmen Pass, but they took the opportunity to make trouble."

Long Chen was a little strange, and asked: "Isn't the relationship between the barbarians and the Central Plains pretty good? I have been to the grasslands last time, and I feel that the attitude of the herdsmen is not bad."

The last time I entered the grassland and raided Baigu Mountain, I met the barbarian herdsmen, and I felt that their attitude was pretty good.

Zhang Man said: "The attitudes of the barbarian tribes are different. Maybe the ones you encounter have good attitudes."

"There are two factions within them, one is close to Da Zhou, headed by Tuzhi; the other is against Da Zhou, headed by Ugu."

"It is Ugwu and his supporters who are making trouble now."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "In recent years, I have focused on Xixia and Nanliang, and paid little attention to the barbarians. I didn't expect Tuzhi to be emptied."

"It's the same with Tuzhi. He didn't tell me about this kind of thing."

After pacifying the barbarians and supporting Tu Zhi as Shan Yu, Long Chen seldom interfered with the affairs of the barbarians.

There was correspondence between him and Long Chen, and every time Tuzhi said he was very good, he never said that there was an opposition force within the clan to push him away.

If Tu Zhi had said earlier, Long Chen would have sent troops to suppress the opposing forces.

Zhang Man said: "Tuzhi is embarrassed to say it, this is a family scandal."

Long Chen smiled, and said: "That's right, I gave him Shan Yu's seat, but he couldn't keep it, it's embarrassing to say it."

Zhang Man asked: "Ugu and the others are contacting the barbarians, how should we respond?"

Long Chen asked with a smile: "How do you plan to deal with it?"

Zhang Man was a little embarrassed, and said: "The last general's plan is to stick to it and wait for the arrival of King Wu."

Long Chen smiled and said: "I'm here, but I'm the only one, the army is still behind, there are still two days to arrive."

Zhang Man was a little surprised, she thought that the army had arrived with Long Chen, but she didn't expect to arrive yet.

"King Wu knows that the barbarians are going to rebel, so he took a step first?"

Zhang Man felt very curious, before the army arrived, why did Long Chen arrive first?

Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, something happened. You arranged the defense in the pass. I went to see Tu Zhi. I haven't seen you for several years."

Zhang Man wanted to talk about sending someone to protect him, but thinking about it, there is no need for this, Long Chen doesn't need someone to protect him?

"The last general takes orders."

Zhang Man got up, Long Chen walked out, Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai followed.

Zhang Man had never met Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai before, and wanted to ask who they were, but seeing that they looked a little strange, he didn't ask further.

Coming out of the room, looking at the desolate mountains around, covered with a little snow on the soil, the cold wind blowing so hard that his ears hurt, Hu Feiyang couldn't help sighing: "I heard that the northern border is desolate and bitter, and I just saw it today. "

Qiu Kuohai nodded and said: "The difference between the north and the south is too great. The girder is extremely hot and humid, but the big week is so cold."

Hu Feiyang asked curiously: "Long Chen, how is Xixia?"

They have never been to Xixia, and they are curious about what Xixia looks like.

Long Chen said: "Besides the bitter cold in Xixia, there is also drought and water shortage, which is worse than here."

"You can go and see for yourself in the future. Now that there is unification today, there will be no Xixia pass."

"Of course, the premise is that we win this battle. If we lose, we are all the rations of the ghost clan."

Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai were silent.

They have already seen how powerful the ghost clan is, and they have no idea whether they can win this battle.

The three of them walked at the pass, some soldiers recognized Long Chen and happily gathered around to see him.

"The last general, Han Xiu, pays homage to King Wu."

Lieutenant General Han Xiu hurried over to see him.

"General Han is getting more and more beautiful."

Han Xiu is a female general, Long Chen laughed and joked.

The surrounding soldiers booed and said with a smile: "King Wu appreciates it, General Han really deserves his name."

Han Xiu was embarrassed by the words and said with a smile: "King Wu praises it so much, I dare not be the last general."

Long Chen smiled and said: "You guys prepare to defend, this king will go to the barbarian camp in person."

Long Chen has arrived, everyone is not in a hurry.

With King Wu of the Great Zhou leading the formation, how terrible is it for the little barbarians.

Leaving Yanmen Pass, Long Chen walked towards Shanyu Yazhang according to the location, when passing by the Fengsha Building, Long Chen pointed to a pile of charred remains, and said: "There is the Fengsha Building, when Li Chengdao raided Yanmen Pass, he burned it down, All the people inside were burnt to charcoal."

The two glanced at the black remnant covered by snow, their faces sullen and silent.

If Long Chen had said this earlier, they would definitely have refuted it.

But now, they don't want to say anything.

Walking from Yanmen Pass to Shanyu Yazhang, more and more barbarians gathered around the Yazhang.

Most of these barbarians didn't know Long Chen, and they all glanced at Long Chen and the other three with hostility, and from time to time they used the barbarian's words to snark and laugh strangely.

Long Chen ignored these ant-like things.

It was the first time Qiu Kuohai saw so many barbarians, and he couldn't help but said, "These people stink, don't they never take a bath?"

Long Chen couldn't help laughing and said: "They bathe? What do they use to bathe? Cow dung?"

"Nanliang has a lot of water, the weather is hot, and it is convenient to take a bath, but the north is short of water, and washing your face is a luxury."

"Besides, the barbarians are in the grasslands, and they don't care about these things."

Qiu Kuohai shook his head, wrapped his nose with a scarf, and said, "I haven't showered these days, and I feel uncomfortable all over. These people..."

Long Chen walked slowly to the vicinity of Shan Yu's tooth tent, in front of him was a tall and sturdy man who was as tall as a hill, with a dozen strong men standing beside him, looking at the three of Long Chen and sneering.

"The soldiers of the barbarians are really big."

Hu Feiyang praised, he wanted such a burly soldier who could be used to attack the city.

Qiu Kuohai turned his head to look at Long Chen, and said: "Your trouble is coming, they don't seem to want you to go in."

Seeing Long Chen walking towards the tooth tent, the barbarians on the road guessed that he was looking for Tuzhi, and immediately reported it.

The barbarian who got the news stopped Long Chen and the three outside.

"You! People from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, what are you doing here!"

The burliest barbarian in the middle cursed in a rough voice.

As he spoke, the flesh on his neck trembled.

Long Chen sized it up and muttered: "Does this guy have acromegaly? His face looks like this."

Hu Feiyang asked curiously: "What disease?"
