From eunuch to emperor

Shi Le personally led an army of 40, and all his masters were brought here.

Originally wanted to attack and kill Long Chen, but he didn't expect to be beaten so badly.

Sitting in the tent, Shi Le looked at Lu Qichang and Li Chenglie, feeling cold in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this time... this time, it is only Long Chengen's deceit. His subordinates have improved their cultivation, which led to this... defeat."

Lu Qichang opened his mouth to comfort Shi Le.

Shi Le raised his eyes to look at Lu Qichang, and sighed slightly: "Long Chengen's art of war is worth studying carefully. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. This king didn't understand the situation, and today's defeat is the result."

Six Martial Emperor masters besieged one of Long Chen, in the end three were killed, two were seriously injured, and only he managed to escape unscathed.

No matter how you make excuses, a fiasco is a fiasco, and you can't hide it.

Commander Li Chenglie sighed and said, "Long Cheng'en has a deep understanding of the art of war and is highly skilled in martial arts. It's really... hey..."

There was silence in the account, and everyone felt very heavy.

Shi Le said, "How do you think the battle will continue?"

Lu Qichang's face was serious, and he said: "Your Majesty, in fact...in fact, I think that the Zhen Guo Temple is too strong, and attacking it is not a good strategy."

Shi Le remained silent, and Lu Qichang continued: "My minister suggested that it is better to lure the enemy to go deep, let Long Chengen continue to go deep into the hinterland of our Great Xia, and let him attack the city with deep trenches and high fortifications."

"Wei Chen estimates that the Southern Liang will definitely go to war in the south of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so Long Cheng'en can only have 20 troops."

"He still wants to leave soldiers and horses to defend Jade Buddha Pass and Zhenguo Temple, and there are even fewer soldiers and horses that can invade the hinterland of our Great Xia."

"In this way, the offensive and defensive momentum is reversed, and we can deal with it calmly."

After Lu Qichang finished speaking, he waited for Shi Le's decision.

Shi Le looked at Li Chenglie and asked, "What does the commanding officer think?"

Li Chenglie said: "What the privy envoy said is true, but what the privy envoy said is the way to win or lose on the battlefield."

"Zhenguo Temple is the east gate of our Great Xia. If we abandon it, the gate of our Great Xia will be wide open. Long Chengen can advance and retreat freely, and our Great Xia will be in danger."

"Also, what should we do if we retreat to the hinterland and Long Chengen occupies Zhenguo Temple and does not move?"

Lu Qichang put forward his own point of view from the perspective of success or failure on the battlefield, thinking that it is not good to fight recklessly with Long Chen at Zhenguo Temple.

It should lure the enemy to go deep, let Long Chen become the one attacking the city, and consume the strength of the Long family army.

But Li Chenglie thinks that Zhenguo Temple is too important and must be taken back.

Moreover, what if Long Chen doesn't pursue him?

Lu Qichang shook his head and said: "No, Long Chengen is waiting to marry Emperor Luoxi, he can't occupy Zhenguo Temple and stand still, he will definitely attack."

"Also, I'm not saying that we don't want Zhenguo Temple, I'm just saying that we don't want to attack at this time."

"My purpose is to lure Long Chengen to go deep, and then consume the Long family army. After the Long family army is finished, we will counterattack and take back the Zhenguo Temple."

Li Chenglie retorted: "The princess is married for several years. Long Chengen is extremely hateful, but it cannot be denied that this thief is good at fighting and has excellent management skills."

"Give him two years, and the Zhenguo Temple will become the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Who can regain it?"

The two disagreed with each other, and they quarreled fiercely, but Shi Le didn't say a word at the beginning.

After they had finished arguing, Shi Le finally said, "What you said makes sense, let's take a break first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Lu Qichang and Li Chenglie got up and exited the tent.

After the people left, Shi Le also got out of the tent and returned to his military tent where he was resting.

There are all kinds of palace utensils here, and several maids came to serve immediately.

The golden wild lion armor was untied, and Shi Le sat on the edge of the bed.

Unbuttoning his clothes, Shi Le looked down at his abdomen.

When fighting generals just now, Shi Le was shocked by Long Chen's true energy, and his abdomen had already turned purple and black.

He didn't let Imperial Physician Xue treat him just now, he was worried that the army's morale would be disturbed.

Three generals died today and two were seriously injured. If he himself was seriously injured, the morale of the army would be in turmoil.

"hiss.."

Shi Le pressed his abdomen, and there was a bone-piercing pain.

"Kings!"

A beautiful court lady hurried over.

Shi Le raised his hand to signal to keep silent: "Bring the medicine here."

The maid immediately took out the healing medicine from an agarwood box, Shi Le swallowed the medicine and lay down slowly.

It was already dark outside, the Xixia army set up tents, lit a bonfire, and camped at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Qichang and Li Chenglie took command of the army on their behalf, set up camps everywhere, and dispatched a large number of waiting cavalry to guard against sneak attacks by Long Chen.

...

Zhenguo Temple.

It was getting dark, and a bonfire was lit on the mountain, illuminating the whole mountain as bright as day.

Long Chen carefully patrolled and guarded everywhere to make sure there were no omissions.

"My lord, the general won the fight today, and General Shi Le suffered heavy losses. We might as well attack at night."

Bai Tingting looked at the barracks down the mountain and felt that tonight was a good opportunity for a night attack.

Long Chen shook his head and said: "With a big defeat during the day, Shi Le must be on guard, we won't be able to gain advantage by rushing down and attacking at night."

Night attack is also a kind of surprise attack. The key to victory is to attack suddenly, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and being caught off guard.

Now that Shi Le had taken precautions, and must have redoubled his defenses, the night attack was meaningless.

There are many people in Shile, and there is no bargain in the melee.

"Let's go back."

Long Chen brought Bai Tingting back to the top of the mountain, Bai Tingting turned around and walked to her room.

Long Chen pulled Bai Tingting back, and said with a smile, "What are you running for?"

Bai Tingting was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a war, why..."

Long Chen walked in front, and Bai Tingting obediently followed behind.

After entering the room, Bai Tingting took the initiative to close the door, Long Chen took off the armor, and Bai Tingting obediently took off the armor by herself.

Only a white undershirt was worn inside, and then the apron.

Long Chen picked up Bai Tingting and put her on the bed, untied the belt of the undershirt, the embroidery on the jade-colored bellyband was very beautiful.

"Husband, I am alone, please be gentle."

Bai Tingting was so afraid of Long Chen, she usually stayed with Zhang Qian and the others, and dared not serve alone.

"fear me?"

Long Chen smiled and kissed, Bai Tingting nodded and said, "I'm afraid."

Long Chen picked up Bai Tingting, lay on the bottom by himself, and said with a smile: "Let you take care of it, so you won't be afraid."

Bai Tingting sat up straight and said with a smile, "It's okay."

In a room not far away, the four of Zhang Qian took off their armor and were looking at a map in the room.

"Shi Le didn't retreat after suffering a big loss, because he wanted to fight with us."

Wu Chuchu looked at the defense map that had just been drawn.

Wu Xiangyun said: "Having suffered such a big loss, if he returns to court, he will definitely lose face."

Dugu Jiali agreed with Wu Xiangyun's statement: "The king of a country sent troops in person, but he was killed so miserably. How can he explain to his subjects when he goes back?"

"I estimate that there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, and we must be prepared."

Seeing that Bai Tingting hadn't come back, Zhang Qian asked, "Where is Tingting?"

Wu Xiangyun said: "I went to patrol the mountains with my husband."

Zhang Qian asked suspiciously: "It's been so long and it's not over yet?"

Dugu Jiali hugged Zhang Qian, grabbed Zhang Qian with both hands, and said with a smile: "Maybe the mountain patrol is over, and we can do other things."

Wu Xiangyun smiled and said: "It's possible, just go to the husband's room and check the wards."

Dugu Jiali encouraged Zhang Qian: "Sister Qian, why don't you go?"

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "I'm not going, Tingting is so brave, how dare she accompany her husband alone?"

There is a prerequisite for a good relationship between women, that is, there is no need to compete for men.

The concubines and concubines in the palace are constantly fighting each other because there is only one emperor, and everyone wants to grab it.

The five of them are different, each time they have to discuss well, and only by helping each other can they accompany Long Chen.

Alone, no one can bear it.

Even the most intimate things are together, their relationship is naturally so good that there is nothing to say.

"Go and see."

Dugu Jiali continued to encourage, Zhang Qian said with a smile: "Jiali, do you want to go?"

Dugu Jiali shyly said, "What nonsense are you talking about, you're the one thinking about it."

Just as she was talking, Bai Tingting opened the door and walked in slowly, with a blush on her face.

"Tingting, aren't you? Alone?"

Wu Xiangyun hugged Bai Tingting and asked with a smile.

Bai Tingting fell on the bed and complained: "My husband lied to me and agreed to let me make the decision. In the end... I was exhausted to death."

Wu Chuchu smiled and said: "It's not the first time, you still believe his nonsense, and he doesn't care when the love is deep, and only cares about his own happiness."

The few of them saw through Long Chen's scumbag nature.

"Ignore him next time, I'm so mad."

Bai Tingting fell asleep.
