From eunuch to emperor

"What's the problem?"

Long Chen was also very strange, what happened?

Ye Chang said anxiously and angrily: "Those tenants wanted to join the army to help us fight the war two days ago, but just now I heard that they went to Yangcheng to join the army again, and they want to fight us instead."

"These people are really white-eyed wolves, and the field was given to them for nothing."

Dugu Jiali asked in surprise: "No way, two days ago I was blocked at the foot of the mountain and refused to leave, saying that I would help us defeat Shi Le."

"Why are you going to beat us back? What's going on with these people?"

Long Chen laughed dryly: "What's the reason?"

Ye Chang shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, those people have gone to Yangcheng."

Dugu Jiali looked at Long Chen, and Long Chen said, "Bring He Juntao here."

Ye Chang immediately went to find He Juntao.

Dugu Jiali said indignantly: "The Xixia people are really not good, they are used to being untouchables."

Long Chen smiled, and said: "You can't say that, there must be a reason for them to do this."

"They are the lowest-level tenants. They have no choice in many things. No matter what the world is like, the people at the bottom are always the most miserable."

"Many things they do can't help themselves, don't blame the common people."

Dugu Jiali sighed helplessly: "Husband, sometimes I think you are too kind to the common people."

After following Long Chen for so long, Dugu Jiali could see clearly.

Long Chen is very ruthless to the powerful and officials, but sometimes he is too kind to the common people, always saying that the common people have the most miserable life.

Long Chen smiled and said nothing, waiting for He Juntao to come over.

Not long after, He Juntao came over.

"grown ups."

"What about the tenants?"

He Juntao said: "Just as I was about to report this matter to my lord, Shi Le issued a king's order to give the land of Zhenguo Temple to the tenants."

"The condition is that the tenants will help Shi Le fight, and each household will send a soldier. Those tenants who originally defected to us will now go to Yangcheng to serve as soldiers."

Ye Chang said angrily: "The villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness, I knew I wouldn't give it to them."

Long Chen nodded slightly, and said: "This strategy is good. With the land as a reward, the tenants will definitely fight to the death, and the source of troops can increase by tens of thousands."

Originally, the tenants around Zhenguo Temple supported Long Chen, but now that Shi Le did this, things were reversed.

I have to say that Shi Le did a beautiful job.

Dugu Jiali asked: "Then what should we do? Just look at Shi Le like this?"

He Juntao said: "I don't think Shi Le really wants to give the land to the tenants. He just sees the tenants helping us, so he uses the land as bait."

"When the war is over, the land will definitely be taken back, and they will continue to be lowly slaves."

Ye Chang said: "My lord, we can send people out and tell these tenants that Shi Le doesn't really want to give them the land."

"When the war is over, Shi Le will take back the fields. Only by supporting us in the war can we keep the land."

He Juntao nodded and said: "I agree with General Ye's opinion, it should be useful to do so."

Dugu Jiali also said: "Yes, Shi Le will say it, and we will say it too."

Long Chen shook his head slightly, and said: "Doing this... is somewhat useful, but it won't be too effective."

"Think about it, if you are tenants of Xixia, do you believe in Shi Le or me?"

The three were silent.

Shi Le is the king of Xixia, Long Chen is just an enemy general, if they are tenants of Xixia, they must trust Shi Le, not Long Chen.

Wang Ming is definitely more effective than Long Chen's command.

"Let me think about it, how to deal with it."

Long Chen paced slowly, thinking about how to deal with it.

Dugu Jiali was not in the mood to deploy the catapult anymore, she was waiting for Long Chen to think of a countermeasure.

"Jun Tao, you have to do something!"

Long Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a countermeasure.

"My lord, please order!"

He Juntao was overjoyed, Long Chen thought of a way by saying this.

Ye Chang and Dugu Jiali waited for Long Chen to speak.

Long Chen said: "You send people to the rear of Xixia, and say that Shi Le, in order to fight against me, promised to distribute all the land of powerful landlords to tenants."

After hearing this, He Juntao suddenly realized, and said joyfully, "My lord, it's a great plan. Shi Le deceived the tenants to fight the war. We will use Shi Le's lies to instigate the rebellion and agitate the powerful landlords in Xixia, and make them internally turbulent and turn against each other! What a great plan!"

The tenants around Zhenguo Temple had already believed Shi Le's nonsense, no matter how Long Chen explained it, they didn't believe it.

Since they don't believe it, forget it and don't tell the tenants.

Long Chen, in turn, went to talk to the landlord Haoqiang, using Shi Le's nonsense to intimidate those landlord Haoqiang, causing internal turmoil and division in Xixia.

Dugu Jiali frowned and said, "However, the tenants around Zhenguo Temple will still join the army and join the war."

Long Chen sighed: "There's no way, if they believe it themselves, they will definitely be treated as cannon fodder."

"Since they chose to join the army and took up arms, they are no longer tenants, they are enemies."

Long Chen loves the common people, but he is not the Holy Mother, if the common people pick up weapons to kill themselves, then they are the enemy.

Ye Chang nodded and said: "They want to kill us, we can't stretch our necks to be slaughtered."

Long Chen said: "Go now, send more people."

He Juntao bowed, "I obey."

He Juntao immediately went to Feng He and sent out the spies from Xichang.

Looking to the west, Long Chen suddenly thought of a question.

"Eastern Zhou and Nanliang are both called emperors, why is Xixia only called king?"

Eastern Zhou was the empress, and Nanliang was Li Chengdao. Both of them proclaimed themselves emperors.

Why did Shi Le only call himself king?

In terms of rank, the king is one rank lower than the emperor.

Shi Le can be called the emperor, and sit on an equal footing with the empress and Li Chengdao.

Ye Chang was caught by Long Chen's question.

"This... has always been the case."

Everyone is used to it and thinks it is normal. Xixia was originally the king, and Eastern Zhou and Nanliang were originally emperors.

It wasn't until Long Chen asked that they realized that it was really weird.

Dugu Jiali said: "Maybe... because Xixia country is weak, not enough to be called emperor?"

Long Chen shook his head slightly and said: "No, no matter how small the place is, Shi Le is also the king of a country, he can be called emperor, why only king?"

Ye Chang scratched his head and said, "I don't know, no one has ever asked such a question."

Long Chen shook his head, led Ye Chang to patrol and deploy the troops, and returned to the room on the top of the mountain.

...

Two days later, the main hall of Yangcheng prefect's mansion.

Shi Le is sitting at the head, Shi Haoran, privy envoy Lu Qichang, hussar general Fu Yong, army envoy Li Chenglie, and Ma Xing are standing on the left, and on the right are monks Kongji, Xinkong, Xinjing and Fuhui standing on the right. side.

This time the generals are all here.

Shi Le sat on the grand teacher's chair and asked Lu Qichang: "How many troops are there now?"

Lu Qichang said: "Back to the king, we now have an army of 40."

In the past two days, tens of thousands of troops have come one after another. With the addition of the tenants who joined the army, Shi Le has assembled a total of 40 troops.

Shi Le nodded slightly, and said with satisfaction: "The 40 army, today the king will destroy the Zhenguo Temple, bring back Long Chengen's head, and place it in the Zhaoti Temple for suppression!"

Fu Hui echoed, "Long Cheng'en is a demon who came to the world. He should be molded into a golden body and buried in the Temple of Subduing Demons. He will be suppressed for eternity and cannot stand up!"

Shi Le glanced at Fuhui, and said with a cold face: "Fuhui, today is your chance to avenge your shame, don't let me down!"

Kong Ji looked at Fu Hui and sighed slightly in his heart.

Fu Hui immediately bowed and said: "The poor monk must cut off Long Cheng'en's head and offer it under the tent!"

Shi Le smiled coldly and said, "Okay! Master Fuhui will be the vanguard!"

Fu Hui felt a chill in her body, it was obvious that she was going to die herself.

But in front of so many people, Fuhui didn't dare to refuse, so she could only bow her head baldly: "The poor monk accepts the decree!"

Ma Xing bowed his head on the opposite side and said nothing, he thought to himself: Fuhui is looking for death, at this time the truth is to shut up.

Shi Le laughed loudly and said: "Okay, this king asked Ma Xing to help you!"

Ma Xing trembled all over, this fucking person was standing beside him, the disaster came from the sky.

Ma Xing gritted his teeth and came out, and said: "The last general is in command!"

Shi Le looked at Ma Xing coldly, and said: "Okay, the vanguard general has been ordered, let's go!"

Shi Le strode out of the main hall, and the eunuch Ma Fang prepared his horse.

Shi Le stepped on a horse stool and got on a bloody horse.

Outside the door, a group of generals and schools have finished putting on their clothes.

When Shi Le went out, Kong Ji and everyone mounted their horses one after another.

After leaving the prefect's mansion and passing the city gate, 40 troops were ready to go.

Shi Le looked at the army, turned his head and said, "Where is the vanguard general!"

Fu Hui and Ma Xing came up to clap their horses and said:

"The poor monk is here!"

"The end is here!"

Shi Le handed a pioneer banner to Fu Hui and said, "Kill!"

Fuhui received the vanguard banner, and Ma Xing led the vanguard cavalry to the front.

Shi Le held a guard of honor, and then slowly set off with the army, heading for Zhenguo Temple.
