From eunuch to emperor

The army set out, and more than 5 people slowly retreated south.

The barbarians and the Beida camp are in front, and the Long family's army is behind, guarding against the ghosts from chasing and killing them.

In war, the most elite troops rush forward when attacking and stay at the rear when retreating.

When going out, the barbarian army was allowed to be the vanguard because they were more familiar with the terrain of the grassland.

When it was time to retreat, the Long family army took on the heavy responsibility of the rear.

Long Chen, Gan Xin, and Mo Lin led the formation, and the others walked in front.

"Master Ziyun and Miaoyin have made breakthroughs, Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu have also made breakthroughs, Bai Tingting's aptitude is not close, and Qingyue and Xuanyi are not far behind."

"Wu Jian also made a breakthrough, Gan Zhen showed signs of a breakthrough, Han Ziping and Tang Heizi were a little bit closer."

"Meng Yidao and Zhuang Linger also broke through, they are the fastest."

"Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai are said to be coming soon. These two veterans have good qualifications."

Gan Xin reported the situation of cultivation to Long Chen while walking.

The time is not long, and the effect of practice is amazing.

Not counting Yu Wenkai's three veterans, Long Chen also has fourteen real masters, and the number of generals who can fight in battle has increased a lot.

After withdrawing to Yanmen Pass, there should still be people who can break through the real realm, and Shi Jingxiang also shows signs of breaking through.

To improve the general's cultivation base, ghost blood and exercises play a big role, and the foundation they laid before is also very important.

These generals are selected from thousands of people, with good qualifications and a solid foundation. Once they have skills and ghost blood, breakthroughs will be a matter of course.

"How are you?"

Long Chen asked Gan Xin and Mo Lin how their cultivation was, and Mo Lin said: "We have improved a lot, ghost blood is really good."

Gan Xin laughed and said, "We are different from them. We drank a lot when we entered the ice sheet."

The generals here are divided into three ghost soldiers at most, Gan Xin and Mo Lin are different, they were full at the time.

Behind him, Feng He caught up on horseback.

"My lord, spies from the ghost clan have come and only found three."

Feng He can only say that he found three, but he doesn't know how many came.

Gan Xin said with a smile: "Sure enough, as my lord expected, it really came."

Long Chen said: "Sent out spies to inquire about the situation first, Wu Sheng is worthy of being a veteran, he works calmly."

Wu Sheng must have known about killing Yin Ling and Yin Wugou. When his wife and daughter were killed, Wu Sheng could resist the impulse and did not directly send troops to attack, which shows that Wu Sheng is really sophisticated.

The same is true for the ghost girl. After the death of the elders and generals in the Storm Canyon, she can still hold her breath.

Such an opponent must be extremely careful.

Feng He asked: "My lord, how should we deal with it? Should we kill them?"

There are only three spies, and after finding the trace, it is not difficult to kill them.

Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, we just retreat as planned, just keep an eye on them and let them inquire."

Feng He didn't understand why, but he knew that Long Chen had plans, so he didn't say anything else.

"I keep watching."

Feng He turned around and backed away, while Long Chen continued to walk forward.

...

Capital.

In the palace, a Snow Eagle fell on a shelf, and the female officer in charge of intelligence immediately stepped forward and took out a plate of fresh mutton to feed. Tube.

There was a dragon character written on the reed pipe, and the female officer knew it was Long Chen's secret letter, and sent it to the Imperial Study Room of Fengming Palace quickly.

At the door, the female official said to the maid at the door: "I received a secret letter from King Wu, asking to see the princess."

The maid immediately went in to report, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were reviewing the memorial, Duan Shuangshuang, Minister of the Household Department, was reporting the problem of money and food supply ahead.

"The spring plowing near Linjiang City must be done well, as is the vicinity of Jinling. The old land of Nanliang is the main rice producing area, so don't neglect it."

Di Yu looked at the account book of the household department's grain and rice slightly, and gave instructions.

Duan Shuangshuang said with some embarrassment: "Princess, the minister is in charge of the household department, and the spring plowing is in charge of Secretary Sinong."

The Ministry of Household Affairs and Sinonong have their own responsibilities, and it is really inappropriate to ask Duan Shuangshuang to take care of the spring plowing.

Di Yu put down the memorial slightly, rubbed his temples, leaned back on the chair wearily, and said, "I was confused, and called Mr. Sinongqing and Sun Lu to discuss matters."

He Ningxin immediately sent an order to ask the maid to call Sinong Qing and Sun Lu into the palace to discuss matters.

The door of the imperial study room was opened, and the maid outside the door came in, and carefully reported to He Ning: "Lord He, King Wu Feiying has sent the letter."

He Ningxin's expression froze, and she immediately said, "Come in."

The maid immediately led the female officer in, He Ning took the reed pipe heartily, and immediately presented it to Di Yuwei.

"Princess, King Wu Feiying is passing on the letter."

Di Yu took the reed tube slightly and pulled out the secret letter inside. Di Xingwan immediately got up and walked over. There was a line written on the secret letter:

Ask Taoist Xuanzhen, is there any other way?reply ASAP!

After reading the secret letter, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan felt baffled, wondering what Long Chen was talking about?

"What do you mean?"

Di Yu raised his head slightly and asked Di Xingwan, Di Xingwan shook his head, but she didn't know what he meant.

"How do you say something without a head and an end?"

It was the first time Di Yuwei saw Long Chen speak like this, and he didn't understand the meaning at all.

Di Xingwan said: "We don't understand, maybe Taoist Priest Xuanzhen understands."

Di Yuwei thinks about it too, they don't understand, Taoist Priest Xuanzhen may understand.

"Order, Xuanzhen Daoist please enter the palace."

Di Yuwei ordered that He Ningxin immediately send someone out of the palace to invite Taoist Xuanzhen to enter the palace.

Di Yu slowed down slightly, He Ningxin stood behind her, gently rubbing her temples.

Di Xingwan returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Duan Shuangshuang: "The supply of money and food at Yanmen Pass must be guaranteed. The weather is getting hotter, and the clothes, armor and shoes need to be changed. You and the Ministry of Industry need to check."

Duan Shuangshuang said: "I understand that the Ministry of Industry is already preparing."

Xu Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was brought out by Long Chen, without the princess's orders, the materials for spring and summer are already being prepared urgently.

Outside the door, the maid announced that Sinong Qing and Sun Lu had arrived.

Di Yuwei let Sun Lu in, and the maid led Sun Lu in, and said: "Old minister Sun Lu, I have seen the two princesses."

Di Xingwan asked the maid to bring the chair over, and Sun Lu thanked her.

"How's the spring plowing at Nanliang?"

Di Xingwan asked the maid to give him tea again, and Sun Lu immediately said: "Everything is normal. When he conquered Nanliang last year, King Wu set up agricultural officials in various places, and they are still in use today."

Di Xingwan said: "The rice in Nanliang is very important. It must be enough for the local people to eat, there must be no famine, and there must be surplus food for military supplies. This matter cannot be neglected."

Long Chen was very benevolent in doing things, he kept fishing out of the river and forced the people to pay for food.

During the war in Nanliang last year, Guitai and Li Chengdao went too far. The people were squeezed once and need to recover.

After the grain is harvested, the local people must be satisfied first, so as to avoid wars ahead and troubles behind.

Sun Lu said: "King Wu used the method of garrisoning points to confiscate all the land of the local clansmen, and established official fields. The food in these official fields is enough for the front-line military rations."

When attacking Nanliang, Long Chen wiped out the clans of several big cities.

These aristocrats are sitting on tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and they have a lot of food, gold and silver in their homes. Exterminating them can make a fortune and get a lot of fertile land.

Di Yu sighed slightly: "King Wu thought far-reachingly. By using the power of the army at that time to destroy the powerful, he could not only establish an official field, but also eliminate hidden dangers."

The powerful forces have their own private armed forces, and keeping them is a great hidden danger. If they are eradicated, the territory will be full of ordinary people, and there will be no trouble.

A maid came in and reported: "Princess, Daoist Xuanzhen is here."

Di Xingwan said to Sun Lu: "Please trouble Mrs. Sun about the spring plowing, you should go back first."

Sun Lu got up to leave, and when he went outside the door, he saw Taoist Xuanzhen waiting.

Sun Lu glanced at it, and slowly exited the palace.
