From eunuch to emperor

When Qiaoer heard Long Chen's voice, she immediately turned back and ran over, wiped her eyes and said, "Can my lord let my husband come back?"

Long Chen said with certainty: "Yes!"

Qiao'er smiled through tears, and said happily, "Thank you, my lord!"

Zhang Qian hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, when hundreds of thousands of troops fought in a melee, it was impossible for us to find a husband for her alone."

Bai Tingting also persuaded: "Sir, I know you feel sorry for her, but you can't abolish the public for personal reasons. If you find a husband for her alone and you lose the battle, how can we explain to the court?"

Wu Xiangyun also felt that something was wrong, and persuaded: "My lord, think twice."

For the sake of a poor woman, it is absolutely impossible to ignore the victory or defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Seeing the opposition from the three people, Qiaoer knelt down and cried, "I beg the three generals to save my husband."

Bai Tingting said helplessly: "It's not that we don't save your husband, but tens of thousands of people, how can we save them?"

But Long Chen said: "I can save your husband, but you have to listen to me."

Everyone looked at Long Chen in surprise, is there really a way?

Qiaoer quickly said: "As long as I can save my husband, I can do whatever my lord wants me to do."

Long Chen said: "Alright, follow me back to the barracks, and go to the front with me to find your husband."

"Xiangyun, take her with you."

Wu Xiangyun was confused, disregarding hundreds of thousands of troops for the sake of a woman, this is not Long Chen's style of acting.

Qiao'er hesitated for a while, then said: "My lord, I want to go home first, and then go."

The child is still at home, Qiaoer can't let it go.

Long Chen said: "Xiangyun, take her back, and then bring her back to the barracks."

Wu Xiangyun was puzzled, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to agree.

Pulling Qiaoer onto the horse, Wu Xiangyun took her back to Jiangtou Town.

Bai Tingting didn't understand, and asked, "My lord, you don't usually do this, why are you acting so arrogantly this time?"

Long Chen said: "I will give you fifty cavalrymen, and you will have two days to search around for a woman like Qiao'er."

"Tell them, as long as they reach the front line, I will guarantee that they will find a husband, and there will be a reward of ten taels of silver."

Bai Tingting was even more confused, and asked, "Why are you doing this, my lord?" '

Zhang Qian seemed to understand, and said, "My lord wants to buy people's hearts?"

Helping the poor woman find her husband, help her child find her father, and help her mother find her son, this is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts.

If he can't get it back before the battle, he can put the responsibility on Jing Tianlie, Long Chen will not bear the notoriety.

Bai Tingting nodded, feeling that she had figured it out, and said, "My lord is a good idea, I'll go right away."

After ordering fifty cavalrymen, Bai Tingting immediately went to find someone.

Long Chen took Zhang Qian and the rest of the soldiers back to the barracks.

Back in the camp, Wu Jian hurried over and asked, "Are you alright, sir?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, there was a small episode, the hot spring didn't finish soaking, and I was busy all night."

"The army camped on the spot and rested for another two days. I will sleep for a while."

Wu Jian ordered the army to rest for another two days.

Jade Buddha Pass.

Jiang Lin entered Jing Tianlie's room and said, "General, Long Chengen's army stopped near Jiangtou Town and set up camp on the spot. There has been no movement for two days."

Jing Tianlie felt strange, why did Long Chen not move?

"No other actions?"

Jiang Lin replied: "Yes, he sent cavalry to attack our food requisition team everywhere. Several county towns were captured, and women were arrested everywhere and sent to the barracks."

Jing Tianlie said with a sneer: "I will never change my nature. I go shopping in brothels in the harem of the capital, and catch girls from good families outside for lewd pleasures."

"Send the waiting riders to keep an eye on them. This Long Chengen is full of tricks, so we have to guard against them."

"The grain requisition team took it back, don't go out, our grain and grass are enough to last for two years."

Although Li Yuanying died, the 500 million silver has arrived, and there is still enough food and grass.

"What did Xixia say? Did you get a reply?"

Nanliang's support has come to an end, the only thing Jing Tianlie can count on now is Xixia.

Jiang Lin shook his head and said: "There is no reply, so it may be difficult to get Xixia to take action. Long Chengen has a good relationship with Tianxiahui, and Tianxiahui has a good relationship with Xixia. My subordinates guess that Xixia will not send troops."

Long Chen is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the world will do business to make money, this is known to the world.

Long Chen seemed to be the God of Wealth of the Tianxiahui, and the Tianxiahui would definitely mediate from it.

Jing Tianlie felt distraught, he had many enemies in his life, some were as strong as Long Ye, some were vicious, but it was the first time he met someone as difficult as Long Chen.

"What about the poisoning?"

Just yesterday, many soldiers showed symptoms of fatigue and vomiting, and Jing Tianlie discovered that the soldiers were poisoned by Li Yuanying.

Jing Tianlie scolded for a long time, saying that Li Yuanying's death deserved more than guilt, but he actually poisoned hundreds of thousands of troops, it was simply ambitious, shameless and dishonest.

He even suspected that Li Yuanying and Long Chen had colluded.

"Those poisons are not fatal, but they are difficult to treat. Huangcheng Secretary likes to use mixed poisons. His subordinates have found many military doctors and are preparing medicines to relieve them."

Jiang Lin almost found all the doctors around, and the soldiers' condition began to improve.

Li Yuanying didn't seem to intend to poison the soldiers, but just wanted to make the soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.

Jing Tianlie said with a headache: "Fortunately, Long Chengen has stopped, if we attack at this time, how will we fight!"

"In two days, the antidote must be formulated, and the east gate of Jade Buddha Pass must be guarded by me. Long Chengen must not allow a sneak attack."

Jiang Lin bowed and said: "Your subordinates obey!"

Jiangtou Town Barracks.

Long Chen slept beautifully, came out of the Chinese military tent, went to a place where no one was around, and took a pee.

After fastening his belt, he saw Feng He come out.

"What's going on at the Jade Buddha Pass?"

Feng He said: "Li Yuanying's poison has flared up. The symptoms are not serious, but fatigue and vomiting. Why don't you attack at this time?"

For individuals, fatigue and vomiting are not a big problem.

But for the military, it's deadly.

The soldiers don't have the energy to vomit, so what's the point of fighting? This is an excellent opportunity to attack.

Long Chen said: "So that's what I planned too, but now I've changed my mind."

The original plan was like this, wait for Sedum Lie to be poisoned, and then kill him in one go, the battle will be like a broken bamboo.

Feng He smiled and said: "Because Jing Tianlie's recruits are innocent people around, right? My lord doesn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Long Chen said: "Yes, these soldiers have old mothers, wives and children waiting for them to go home."

What he saw in Jiangtou Town changed Long Chen's mind. Soldiers also have family members.

Feng He reminded: "But my lord, fighting on the battlefield is ruthless, why are you doing this?"

Long Chen said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent and regard all things as straw dogs, and saints are not benevolent and treat all people as straw dogs. I know the truth that one will be successful and ten thousand bones will be ruined."

"But have you ever thought that if hundreds of thousands are killed in this battle, the area around Jade Buddha Pass will be empty, and who will defend Xixia in the future?"

Feng He remained silent.

Feng He viewed victory or defeat from the perspective of a general, while Long Chen viewed victory or defeat from the perspective of a country, and the heights of their positions were different.

"What are you going to do, my lord?"

Long Chen sighed, and said: "I want to find a perfect plan."

Feng He shook his head and said: "On the battlefield, victory or defeat comes first, my lord... don't talk about it, what do you need me to do?"
