From eunuch to emperor

"This is the ice field. Li Chengdao controls the ghost tribe, and this is his lair."

"He led the ghost army to retreat north to the dark land, attracting us to continue moving forward."

"If we return our troops to attack the ghost soldiers behind them, the ghost soldiers will retreat and we will miss them."

Long Chen didn't want to retreat because of a ghost soldier who was surrounding him. If he did, he would be led around.

"Then what should we do? The supplies and logistics are all in the camp. If we are attacked, it will be very troublesome."

The empress was very worried that the logistics would be cut off, and there were many ordinary soldiers in the camp, and they would be massacred.

"I was wondering, who is leading the troops?"

Long Chen did not answer, but asked another question.

"It is impossible for Li Chengdao to leave the ghost army. If he leaves, the ghosts will follow Yue Lang and rebel."

"And the generals that Li Chengdao can use...are gone. Only the little tortoise and the snake demon are left. The little tortoise is not smart enough, so I guess the leader is the snake demon."

Long Chen thought carefully and deduced that the leader of the sneak attack was Spirit Snake.

The empress' eyes lit up and she said: "She came out alone, you can kill her!"

Long Chen nodded slightly: "You can't be noticed, you have to be quick!"

Yan Shou followed not far away and saw no problem.

"Call Yan Shou!"

Long Chen gave the order, and the shadow guard brought Yan Shou over and said, "General, I will pay my respects to King Wu!"

Long Chen pointed forward and said: "I will give you a mission. You and Meng Yidao will lead [-] troops as the vanguard to attack Li Chengdao around the back of Yuecheng. Do you dare!"

Yan Shou looked hesitant...

"Huh? You don't dare, or you don't want to!"

Long Chen's tone was unhappy.

Yan Shou immediately said: "The general's cultivation is low, I'm afraid..."

The empress said coldly: "Since Meng Yidao is taking the lead, you are a guide, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Yan Shou had no choice but to worship: "The last general has received the decree!"

Long Chen brought Yan Shou to the front, while Meng Yidao and Chen Weizhi walked side by side.

"Meet King Wu."

When the two saw Long Chen coming from behind, they immediately bowed to see each other.

"Although the ghost tribe has suffered heavy losses, Li Chengdao is very cunning. I decided to let you lead five thousand troops, with Yan Shou as the guide, to go around the back of the ghost tribe, coordinate the frontal battlefield, and attack Li Chengdao from both front and rear."

Long Chen gave the order, and Meng Yidao was a little surprised, feeling that this decision was a bit strange.

"Yes, the last general is in command."

Meng Yidao agreed immediately.

Long Chen patted Meng Yidao and said, "Li Chengdao is cunning, you have to be careful."

After shaking hands and handing over a note, Meng Yidao immediately accepted it.

"I understand, with General Yan as the forerunner, we will definitely succeed."

Meng Yidao looked at Yan Shou, and Yan Shou immediately said: "Don't you dare not try your best! King Wu, don't worry!"

Long Chen patted Yan Shou's shoulder and said earnestly: "General Yan, after this battle, you can also return to the Acropolis. I will let you be the prefect of the Acropolis!"

Yan Shou's expression suddenly froze, as if he was struggling fiercely inside, and he was speechless for a long time.

"General Yan?"

Meng Yidao patted Yan Shou, and Yan Shou slowly recovered, his facial expression a little dull.

"Thank you King Wu."

Long Chen smiled and said, "Let's go."

Meng Yidao ordered five thousand from the demon-slaying army and led Yan Shou to advance first.

Watching the two people leave, Long Chen returned to the central army.

"gone?"

"Let's go. I think Yan Shou is a little strange. He seems to have some consciousness of his own, but he is controlled again."

The empress didn't understand and asked, "What does it mean to have your own consciousness and then be controlled?"

Long Chen said: "Li Chengdao controlled part of Yan Shou's soul, but some souls are still independent. I just said that after this battle, I would let him be the governor of the city. He was stunned."

The expression at that time was as if the two programs were incompatible and the computer was stuck.

"So, Yan Shou can be fought for?"

The empress thought Long Chen was going to say this, but Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, it's not necessary. I'm just curious. This should be the ability of the snake demon."

"Okay, Yan Shou is gone, let's leave now!"

The empress called Wu Jian, Di Luoxi, and Di Lingyi over.

"Li Chengdao sent a snake demon with ten thousand troops to raid the rear. King Wu and I will go back and besiege the snake demon. You continue to move forward. Luo Xi will pretend to be me, and find someone to pretend to be King Wu."

"King Wu has asked Meng Yidao to lead five thousand troops as a vanguard to explore the way ahead. If you find Li Chengdao attacking, just retreat and don't fight him."

Long Chen did not send Meng Yidao to raid the rear, but to distract Yan Shou and explore the way forward to prevent Li Chengdao from raiding.

Neither the Empress nor Long Chen is here, and no one is the opponent of Li Chengdao and Xuangui.

"clear."

The empress and Long Chen changed into ordinary clothes, then quietly left the team and headed southwest quickly.

West of the camp.

A dozen ghost scouts wore bone knives at their feet and quickly cut across the ice.

These ghost soldiers were born in the ice field and are extremely good at skating on ice skates.

Dozens of traces were drawn on the ice, and the ghost soldiers returned to the main army.

Ling She and Yu Lang were at the front.

"Princess, we have found out. Long Chen has led the army far to the north. There are less than [-] soldiers at the camp to defend the baggage."

Yu Lang was overjoyed and said, "The emperor has a clever plan and it worked this time."

The spirit snake blinked, and a grain of black appeared in its amber eyes, which looked strange and terrifying.

"There's no rush, just wait. When Long Chen is far away, it will be too late to return to defense."

This time they not only have to raid the camp and destroy the baggage, they also have to cross the canyon and destroy the black forest, and then move south to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Spirit Snake hoped that Long Chen would go further north to avoid having to return to defense to pursue him.

"Princess Yingming, let's move forward slowly. When we reach the camp, Long Chen will be far away."

The spirit snake thought it made sense and ordered to move forward slowly to save energy.

...

Pass camp.

The general who stayed behind was called Han Muqiao. He was not half-ghost, but he lived near Shuohai City in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was not afraid of the cold.

Walking outside, many soldiers were dressed like rice dumplings.

"General Han, it's too cold. Go back inside and hide."

One soldier showed only his eyes.

Han Muqiao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold. I'll inspect the camp."

The ice field is too cold. We are not afraid of fire, but we are afraid of sneak attacks by ghosts.

But Long Chen had already led the army to the north, and it was impossible for the ghost clan to make a surprise attack. Han Muqiao was very relaxed.

"This damn place is kind of interesting."

It's interesting to walk on Hanmu Bridge in the ice and snow.

west.

A Xichang spy came over quickly, and Han Muqiao's secret passage was not good.

"what happened?"

"There is a surprise attack by ghost soldiers, to the west."

The spy said anxiously.

Han Muqiao was shocked: "How is it possible that the ghost tribe still has troops to make a surprise attack?"
