From eunuch to emperor

Shi Le and Kong Ji were leading the troops running wildly, and the horsemen in front came back to report: "Your Majesty Qizuo, thick smoke is coming out from the direction of the Panhe Palace, which can be seen for several miles."

Hearing the thick smoke rising, Shi Le's heart was broken, and Long Chen burned the palace that he spent several years of income to build.

"Chasing! This king wants to cut Long Chengen into pieces!"

Kong Ji persuaded: "Your Majesty, after Long Chengen burns down the palace, he must flee to the east! At this time, he should not go to the palace, but should go east to block it!"

The palace has been burned, and there is no point in going any further. The most sensible thing to do is to intercept it eastward.

Shi Le was getting angry, and said angrily: "North, south, east, every time you said it, every time it was empty!"

Kong Ji was scolded speechless.

Lu Qichang, the privy envoy, remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, it's better for the national division to lead the troops to block it to the east, and let's go to the palace."

Shi Le didn't speak, and led his troops to attack the palace.

Kong Ji took [-] cavalry from Jade Buddha Pass to the east to intercept.

...

After Long Chen came down from the palace, he led the cavalry and marched eastward with all his strength, and burned down another county government office on the way, deliberately making noise.

"My lord, are we going back?"

Captain Leng Yu asked.

Long Chen smiled and said: "I'm going back, I can't be too greedy, this time I've played enough."

The soldiers behind him smiled and said, "Yes, there are so many valuable things in the palace."

Almost every soldier has a chest full of gold, silver and jewels.

This trip was tiring and rewarding.

"When we go back, we can play for a lifetime!"

"That's right, I robbed Shi Le's palace, and I also sat on Shi Le's throne."

"I set the fire. I burned down his palace."

Because the battle went smoothly, the long-distance raid did not feel tired, but more energetic.

Seeing that the morale was booming, Long Chen ordered everyone to speed up.

The horses marched along the official road, and finally came to a mountain.

"Crossing this mountain is Yuan Xiao Valley."

When Long Chen set off, he had already thought about the way to retreat.

This road can only be crossed by small groups of troops on foot, cavalry cannot pass at all, and large troops cannot pass.

"Everyone dismounts and marches on foot instead."

Long Chen was the first to come down, and the war horse left on the spot.

Bai Tingting and Leng Yu got off their horses, and the others carried their boxes and weapons, and they didn't need any food.

When everyone climbed up the ridge, they saw the iron kite coming from the west, and the leading general was Kong Ji.

"Look, my lord, empty and lonely old bald donkey."

Bai Tingting pointed down the mountain and smiled.

Long Chen took out the binoculars, and saw Kong Ji crouching on the horse, the iron kite behind him was exhausted.

"Go, ignore him."

Long Chen led the soldiers down the mountain, entered Yuanxiao Valley, and then went north back to Jade Buddha Pass.

At the foot of the mountain, Kong Ji watched Long Chen run away.

"Uncle, do you want to chase after him up the mountain?"

Hong Zheng was a bit unwilling, he finally caught up this time, but watched Long Chen run away helplessly.

"Passing this mountain is Yuanxiao Valley, where Long Chengen killed Li Chengtong and the other three martial emperors last year."

Hong Zheng was so frightened that he was sweating all over his body, and he didn't dare to talk about the pursuit.

"Then we... go back?"

Monk Kong Ji sighed: "Good thief, it's really hard to deal with!"

Gathering Long Chen's five hundred horses, Monk Kongji went to Panhe Palace.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I saw a fierce fire on the mountain and thick smoke billowing up.

Shi Le was ordering an army of 20 to fight the fire, but the fire was so fierce that most of the palace was burned to nothing but ashes.

"Kings..."

Kong Ji saw Shi Le whose face was ashen.

"Catch up?"

"I caught up with him, but Long Chengen climbed over the mountain, entered the boundary of Eastern Zhou, and ran away again..."

Shi Le sneered and said, "It's ridiculous for 25 of us to be led by the nose by 500 of them!"

Monk Kong Ji was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

At night, the fire was finally basically extinguished.

Shi Le and Kong Ji walked on the ruins of the palace, feeling very heavy.

"When the Jade Buddha Pass is broken, let Dong Zhou pay compensation to rebuild the practice palace!"

Kong Ji's words can be regarded as comforting Shi Le.

"Yes, break through the Jade Buddha Pass and let them rebuild it. People and money will be paid by Dong Zhou!"

Shi Le cursed viciously.

"This time, this king will personally conquer and break through the Jade Buddha Pass!"

Shi Le immediately ordered to advance to Jade Buddha Pass.

The army was exhausted, everyone was tired, but no one dared to say anything.

Shi Le was angry, whoever said it was unlucky.

Lu Qichang had no choice but to gather his troops again and go to the Jade Buddha Pass overnight.

In the middle of the night, the army advanced with torches.

Shi Le and Kong Ji walked slowly in front, their horses could not move.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the north that the barbarian Shan Yu Tuzhi led 20 troops to kill Xingqing City."

Lu Qichang suddenly received a battle report from the northern city.

Shi Le was shocked. He received the battle report and read it. It was Feiying, the county magistrate in the north, who sent a letter saying that 20 barbarian troops entered Xixia from Yuncheng, broke through the county seat, and were attacking in the direction of Xingqing City.

"This dog thief, it turns out that his real target is Xingqing City!"

Shi Le suddenly realized.

After Long Chen entered Xixia, he seemed to be scurrying around, but his final goal was Xingqing City.

First make a big fuss in the hinterland, let Shi Le go out, then break through and destroy Yuncheng, an important border defense town, to create convenience for the barbarians to march, and finally escape the pursuers, and burn down the Panhe palace all the way south.

At this time, Shi Le's army chased Panhe again, and the north and Xingqing City were empty, and the barbarian army could drive straight in.

"National teacher, don't you have any expectations at all!"

Shi Le blamed Kongji for being an idiot, and he didn't expect it at all.

"Poor monk... Poor monk didn't expect this thief to be so treacherous, and actually..."

Only then did Monk Kong Ji discover Long Chen's true purpose.

"Go, return to the soldiers!"

Shi Le had no choice, and hurriedly led his troops back to Xingqing City to defend.

If the capital is breached, Xixia will lose all face.

Monk Kongji groaned secretly, and ordered Tie Yaozi to follow Shi Le back.

Kong Ji knew that he should return to Jade Buddha Pass to defend, this was the correct choice.

Long Chen ordered the barbarian army to attack Xingqing City, creating a situation where they captured the capital of Xixia, and then sent troops out of Jade Buddha Pass, Xixia lost this battle.

However, Shi Le has been angry several times. If he doesn't follow Shi Le back, he will not be able to get along in Xixia.

Knowing that it was a mistake to go back to Xingqing City, Kong Ji had to do so, this is the most vicious place.

I fell into the trick of the little thief again!

Kong Ji secretly ordered Hong Zheng to go back to Jade Buddha Pass, and told Monk Deshan to stabilize the camp and never fight Long Chen.

After receiving the order, Hong Zheng quietly left the team and went to Jade Buddha Pass.

...

Long Chen came out of Yuanxiao Valley and arrived at Xifeng City.

Looking for Tian Liang and asking for a war horse, Long Chen quickly returned to Jade Buddha Pass.

Di Lingyi led the crowd out to greet him.

"Finally back, we are worried to death!"

There were 500 people when they set off, and there were more than 450 people when they came back. Di Lingyi was surprised that the loss was so small.

"It's back, and it's all rewarding!"

Long Chen pointed to the soldiers behind him, each carrying a box.

Di Lingyi was surprised and said, "Where do you get so many treasures?"
