Long Chen said innocently: "General Zhang, it's obvious that I was molested."
Zhang Qian snorted: "How shameless! The Holy Spirit's special envoy has arrived and is in the main hall."
Long Chen was a little surprised: "Arrived so soon?"
A few days ago, Long Chen sent a war report back to the capital, asking the empress to send officials to take over Qianjiang County. He thought it would take some time, but he didn't expect it to arrive.
"I just arrived and brought several officials with me."
Long Chen got up and went to the main hall with Zhang Qian, where he saw He Ningxin, the special envoy of the Empress.
"Lord He?"
Long Chen felt strange, why did he send the eldest princess Di Yuwei's female officer as a special envoy?
He Ningxin smiled and said: "Master Long, don't you want to see me?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "What are you talking about? I haven't seen Mr. He in the past few days since I left the capital. I miss him very much. I even dreamed about him last night."
He Ningxin smiled and said, "I heard that Master Long was fighting all night long. I wonder when he dreamed of me last night?"
Well...
Long Chen was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "That's what I dreamed about the night before yesterday."
Dugu Jiali and Wu Jian came in from outside and met with the special envoy He Ningxin.
He Ningxin said: "The Holy One heard that the pirates who had been in Qianjiang County for more than 20 years were wiped out. He was very happy and immediately selected the governor, the county magistrate, the Sima and the chief secretary."
Several people behind him paid homage to Long Chen, and Long Chen returned the greeting.
"Thank you, Lord Long."
"Master He just happened to be here. I will report the recent battle situation."
He Ningxin said: "That's good, the Holy One also wants to know the situation of the battle."
Long Chen immediately appointed the new governor and asked Zhang Qian and Wu Jian to help them familiarize themselves with the situation in Qianjiang County as soon as possible.
After the arrangements were made, Long Chen went back to his room and wrote a memorial about the battle over the past few days and gave it to He Ningxin.
He Ningxin only visited the city once, and then returned to the capital urgently with the memorial and troops.
After Long Chen had eaten, he and Zhang Qian took a bath together, and the two closed the door and fell asleep.
After fighting all night, I was really exhausted.
....
Two days later, Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun returned to Qianjiang County with their troops and horses. The troops and horses in the city were also ready, but Long Chen did not send troops.
Sitting in the pavilion on the pond, Long Chen leaned on the railing, listening to the chirping of insects, and thinking about how to capture the ghost island.
Wu Xiangyun was stroking a guqin, Zhang Qian was pouring tea next to her, and Bai Tingting was sitting on a tree, bored.
Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu trained all day long. Their personalities were somewhat similar, and they became familiar with each other within a few days.
"Sir, when will we attack Ghost Island?"
Bai Tingting fell down from the tree and said anxiously.
Long Chen took a sip of tea, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "The ghost island is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I am not sure of victory."
Bai Tingting said: "There is no sure way to win in a war. It's all about surviving in the face of death."
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Soldiers are a major event for the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. If the temple is not the winner before the battle, it should be counted as more; if the temple is not the winner before the battle, it is the less. Count the more.
To win, if you count with less, you won't win, but if you don't count with nothing, what's more?"
Long Chen is talking about "The Art of War: The First Plan", which states that before fighting a war, you must plan first, and be more careful about victory and less about victory.
Zhang Qian was stunned when she heard this, and Wu Xiangyun's music also stopped.
Wu Xiangyun praised: "I have read many military books, but I have never heard such a thorough explanation."
Zhang Qian was surprised and said: "If you can write poems and commentaries, can you also do art of war?"
Only then did Long Chen realize that there was no Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period in this world, let alone Sun Wu, and there was no "The Art of War".
"It's just the experience gained after fighting many wars."
"Before fighting a war, you must plan first. If there is no chance of winning when planning, such a war cannot be fought."
"Just like now, Ghost Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We do not have an absolute advantage in military strength. It is also a sea battle and there is the threat of hidden reefs. No matter how I plan, I will lose more than I win, so I have delayed sending troops."
Bai Tingting said in surprise: "You are much smarter than those idiots in the Ministry of War."
Long Chen gave Bai Tingting a look of disdain: "Being smarter than an idiot is something you should be proud of?"
Bai Tingting giggled and said, "That's not what I meant."
Long Chen looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The bright moonlight shone on the roof, reflecting a white frost.
The lights in the room were on, and the new governor was working overtime on official duties.
"The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen full, and it will be full in a few days."
Bai Tingting looked at the moon, lay down lazily, and deliberately put one leg on Long Chen's body.
Zhang Qian felt disgusted in her heart. She originally thought that Bai Tingting was a reserved heroine, but she didn't expect that she would become Long Chen's licking dog.
"Not necessarily. It's easy to get cloudy and rain here on the 15th, and you can't see the full moon."
Wu Xiangyun joked.
Long Chen's heart suddenly shook and he asked: "Is it like this every month?"
Wu Xiangyun shook his head and said, "No, it's just like this in spring."
Long Chen felt happy and asked: "Will the sea surface rise?"
Wu Xiangyun nodded and said: "Yes, and the water will rise the most on the fifteenth day of this month, and the river water in Zhenhai County will flow backwards."
When the sea level rises too much, seawater intrusion will occur.
This world also has tidal gravity, so there is a chance.
Long Chen stood up and said: "Let's set out tomorrow to attack Ghost Island."
Bai Tingting was confused by Long Chen and stood up and asked: "You just said it was not suitable for attacking, why did you attack again?"
Long Chen chuckled and said, "You will know when the time comes."
Wu Xiangyun and Zhang Qian got up and immediately went to discuss with Wu Chuchu and Dugu Jiali.
Long Chen figured it out and felt comfortable all over. He got up and went back to his room to sleep. Bai Tingting chased after him and asked, "Have you thought of a way to defeat the enemy? Tell me?"
Walking to the door of the room, Long Chen pushed the door open and said, "Miss, do you still want to sleep with me tonight?"
Bai Tingting sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will dance with my sword in my dream and kill you?"
Long Chen said with a smile: "I'm afraid you would take off your clothes in your dream and throw your underwear on me."
Bai Tingting said angrily, "Shameless!"
Turning around and leaving the yard angrily, Long Chen went back to his room to sleep.
....
Early the next morning.
Long Chen got up, washed up, had breakfast, put on his armor, and when he got outside, his troops and horses had been sorted out, and 18,000 people were arrayed in order.
Generals Zhang Qian, Wu Jian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting were waiting at the door.
"Sir, you can leave now."
Zhang Qian said.
Long Chen nodded, got on his horse, opened the east city gate, and fought towards the ghost island in a mighty manner.
Qianjiang County is not far from the sea, and it is only one day's journey at full speed.
One day later, the army arrived at the seaside.
Dugu Jiali looked at the boundless sea and exclaimed: "The sea is so big!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "You should say: Ah, Dahai, you are so big!"
Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun laughed: "What you said is really good."
Dugu Jiali knew that Long Chen was making fun of her, so she smiled and said: "The final general does not have the literary talent of an adult, so I can only say this."
