The two armies faced each other, and the generals lined up in a row.
The empress is in the middle, with Di Luo Xi, Di Lingyi, Wu Jian, Ying Feng, Gongsun Linglong, Luo Qiwei, and Meng Yidao on both sides.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty now has many soldiers, but Li Chengdao on the opposite side only has Liu Feibai to support the situation.
The empress was wearing golden armor, holding a phoenix-winged hammer in her hand. She pointed at Li Chengdao, who was wearing silver armor, and said with a smile: "Li Chengdao, how dare you come here alone, have you lived enough?"
Li Chengdao knew that his cultivation level was slightly inferior to that of the Empress, so he would definitely not be his opponent in a head-on battle.
"Where is Long Chen?"
Li Chengdao directly asked where Long Chen was.
The empress laughed and said, "Can't you guess where he is?"
Li Chengdao was not a fool. The moment Li Zhaoliang rebelled, he should have guessed where Long Chen was.
Li Chengdao looked gloomy and said, "As expected, he encouraged rebellion in Jinling City."
Di Luoxi smiled proudly and said: "Yes, my husband is not here. He is in Jinling City. You have to thank my husband for letting your good brother ascend the throne."
When Emperor Lingyi saw Di Luoxi saying that Long Chen was her husband in public, she became jealous and immediately said, "That's right, if he hadn't been my husband, how could your brother have become the emperor!"
The empress looked a little confused as she watched her two daughters quarreling over each other in front of the battle.
How come a fight on the battlefield turned into two women fighting for their husbands?
Wu Jian, Ying Feng and the other generals also felt so embarrassed. What kind of occasion could this happen?
The people on the opposite side were also confused. Liu Feibai thought to himself: I had heard that the two princesses fought to the death for Long Chen, but I didn't expect that they would be jealous in front of the battle.
For such a stunning princess, Long Chen had two of them, making others envious.
As Li Chengdao was young, he didn't care about jealousy, what he cared about was the ridicule between the two of them.
"Okay, if Long Chen is not here, Linhu City will be destroyed today."
The empress laughed and said: "Li Chengdao, are you my rival?"
Liu Feibai was worried that Li Chengdao would go crazy and lose control, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty..."
Li Chengdao glanced at the generals around the empress. If these people came together, the people on his side would not be able to withstand it.
The only available general under his command is Liu Feibai, and the others are all rubbish that cannot be surpassed by a king.
I remember that in those days, there were many soldiers in Nanliang, and there were many fierce generals under them.
At that time, in addition to the empress, there were only four generals in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: Jing Tianlie, Jing Feng, Di Luoxi, and Di Lingyi.
Compared with the Five Tiger Generals of Nanliang, these four generals can only be said to be mediocre.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was entirely supported by the empress' imperial cultivation.
Times have changed, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has now raised a group of generals, and only Liu Feibai is left in Nanliang.
And all of this is because of Long Chen!
Sure enough, the dragon thrived in the wild and the world was united.
Although the prophecy is nonsense, it is correct.
If all the Long family had been killed back then, why would Nanliang be like this!
Liu Feibai advised Li Chengdao not to be impulsive, and the empress laughed loudly and said: "Li Chengdao, I am in a good mood today. I will spare your life, but you can go!"
Emperor Luoxi thought that the empress really let Li Chengdao go, so she immediately advised: "Mother, if you don't kill me today, it will cause trouble in the future!"
Emperor Lingyi was also anxious and said: "Mother, he sent himself to death, why didn't he kill her?"
Other generals also felt that they should take advantage of the situation to attack and should not let Li Chengdao go.
Li Chengdao sneered and said: "Emperor Shitian, do you want to deceive me with such a little trick?"
"If you let me retreat, our army will be in chaos. Then you take the opportunity to cover up and kill us. Your calculations are really loud."
The empress' plan was seen through, and Di Luoxi finally understood what was going on.
Li Chengdao pointed at the empress and said, "I will retreat now. If you are able, come and chase her."
After speaking, Li Chengdao slowly retreated, and the Nanliang army retreated in an orderly manner.
Di Luoxi said excitedly: "Queen Mother, chase her!"
The empress shook her head slightly and said: "Their flags are well-organized and their formations are not chaotic. It may not be beneficial for us to pursue them."
"Don't underestimate Li Chengdao, he is a master of military affairs."
Li Chengdao retreated, but there was no sign of chaos, which shows that Li Chengdao was ready to retreat.
If the empress attacks and kills her, Li Chengdao will definitely fight back, and it will easily turn into a melee.
Emperor Lingyi said: "There are only two people on the opposite side, Li Chengdao and Liu Feibai. If we charge with all our strength, the Nanliang army will definitely be in chaos."
He Juntao said that the leader of the army was Li Chengdao, and that Gui Fei was not in the army.
But the empress didn't dare to take risks. If the ghost fetus was hiding inside, she would rush over and die.
Without Long Chen to hold the battle, the empress felt a little scared.
Li Chengdao slowly retreated, while the empress watched. No matter what Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi said, the empress never pursued him.
Di Luoxi said disappointedly: "Mother, such a good opportunity has been wasted."
Others were also a little disappointed. Gongsun Linglong asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you pursue me?"
The empress said: "Now we have the advantage on the battlefield, don't be anxious, wait until Long Chen comes back before making plans." Bayi Chinese Website
When you have an advantage, the key is to be steady. As long as you are steady, you will be sure of victory.
Everyone was a little disappointed, and the empress withdrew her troops and returned to the city.
Li Chengdao slowly withdrew his troops, and Liu Feibai came to the rear in full force. He had been worried that the empress would make a sneak attack, and until he had retreated 20 miles, the empress had not pursued him. Liu Feibai breathed a sigh of relief.
After catching up with Li Chengdao, Liu Feibai asked in surprise: "How does the emperor know that the empress will not pursue her?"
Li Chengdao smiled and said, "Because the empress is afraid."
Liu Feibai asked doubtfully: "Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Li Chengdao said: "He is afraid that the Holy Son is hiding in the army, just like last time when the Empress hid in the city and teamed up with Long Chen to attack the Holy Son."
Last time, Xu Feng made a sneak attack on Xianhe City. The empress pretended to lead the rescue force, and the ghosts took the opportunity to attack.
As a result, the empress didn't go at all, and teamed up with Long Chen to attack at night, and the ghost was caught off guard.
The empress was worried that the same trick would be repeated, so she did not pursue him.
Liu Feibai nodded and said: "I see, the battlefield is empty and real, and the emperor is wise."
Li Chengdao ignored Liu Feibai's flattery and continued to retreat eastward.
...
Linhu City.
When night fell, a fast horse arrived outside the east gate, and Long Chen finally came back.
The soldiers on the city confirmed that it was Long Chen and immediately opened the city gate.
Back in the city, as soon as Long Chen got off his horse, Emperor Lingyi came over.
"I'll go first this time."
Di Lingyi grabbed Long Chen's sleeve, pulled him into the room, and immediately closed the door.
"Husband, a little separation is better than a wedding."
Emperor Lingyi untied his clothes, only wore a bellyband, and pressed Long Chen on the bed.
"I have something important to report to Your Majesty, can you wait a moment?"
Long Chen really had something to say, but Emperor Lingyi didn't care. He grabbed both of Long Chen's hands and said, "If you have something to discuss later, please wait for this princess first."
...
When the empress heard that Long Chen was back, she immediately changed into something more serious and waited.
With her two daughters in the city, the empress cannot be too explicit.
After waiting for a long time, no one came.
"Where are the Longchen people?"
The empress asked doubtfully.
Yingfeng had a strange expression on her face, smiled and said nothing.
