Concubine Shu asked: "The emperor means that Shangguan Wei is still forbearing and he has other plans?"
Li Chengdao's eyes were cold and he said lightly: "My son can still hold back even after his death. It's like a general's style."
Concubine Shu didn't know whether this was a compliment or a disparagement, whether it meant that Shangguan Wei could keep his temper or that Shangguan Wei was cruel.
"Send an order to Shangguan Wei and ask him to use his troops well. I will fully support him."
Li Chengdao said lightly without any emotion, and the eunuch Zhong Gui immediately drafted an order and sent it to the camp ahead.
When the imperial edict arrived at the front camp, Shangguan Wei took Shangguan Xiu and a group of generals to receive the edict.
The eunuch Zhong Gui held the imperial edict in his hand and read loudly: "I already know your battle ahead, victory and defeat. When I wait for your triumphant return, the general will use his troops well. I will fully support you, so don't have any worries."
Shangguan stood up and worshiped: "I accept the order from you."
Zhong Gui held the imperial edict to Shangguan Wei with both hands, and said with a smile: "Old general, the superior knows that you are working hard on the expedition, so he specially asked our family to come here to deliver the edict and use the troops well. The superior knows that the general will win."
Shangguan Wei pulled Zhong Gui into the military tent and said with a smile: "Thank you, father-in-law, for speaking kindly to me in front of your superiors."
Zhong Gui quickly smiled and said: "It's hard to say, good or bad is all in the mind of the superior."
There was no one else in the tent, so Shangguan Wei said: "I destroyed Linjiang City a few days ago. Although I didn't take it, I killed tens of thousands of her and got some things. They are all placed in the carriage on the roadside. Father-in-law, wait a minute.
Just go back and let the carriage follow."
Zhong Guile was beaming: "The old general will surely achieve great results if he takes action. Our family will go back to recover, and we will stay soon."
Shangguan Wei personally escorted Zhong Gui out of the military tent and walked for several miles before returning to the camp.
Shangguan Xiu came up to us with a sad look on his face and sighed: "The superiors are dissatisfied with us."
After being in the court for so long, Shangguan Xiu knew very well that if Li Chengdao was really satisfied, he would not send an envoy.
"It's normal. If we fight like this, will the superiors be satisfied?"
Shangguan Wei sighed, not expecting that he would be reduced to trying to please a eunuch.
What he said just now was a hint that even though he didn't take Linjiang City, he still had some merit, and he sent gifts to Zhong Gui just in the hope that he would say something nice.
"What's going on over there in Linjiang City?"
"The city has been resting and recuperating in the past few days. Their losses this time are not small. There is also important information. They secretly transported troops from Diaoyu City to Linjiang City at night."
Although Shangguan Xiu was injured, he kept a close eye on every move in the city.
A proud smile appeared on Shangguan Wei's face: "Okay, you will go back to Caishi City immediately."
Shangguan Xiu's face lit up: "Has the time come?"
Shangguan Wei nodded: "We're here."
Shangguanxiu got up and left the military tent, returned to his tent, coughed constantly, and asked the guards to pack their things.
When Shangguan Feng heard that Shangguan Xiu was leaving, he hurried over to ask about the situation.
Shangguan Xiu said helplessly: "I was injured too seriously and can no longer participate in the war. My father asked me to go back to Caishi City to recuperate. You follow your father and you must conquer Linjiang City and avenge your dead brothers."
Shangguan Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Major General, I will definitely kill that dead eunuch!"
Shangguan Xiu dragged his tired body into a carriage and returned to Caishi City with the army, including injured soldiers.
This time, the camp lost tens of thousands of people.
After Shangguan Xiu left, Shangguan Wei summoned Shangguan Li, Shangguan Feng, Shangguan Liang and Shangguan Yi.
The four people stood under the tent, and Shangguan Wei felt an inexplicable desolation in his heart.
Originally he had many soldiers and generals, but now one of his sons is dead and one is disabled, leaving Shangguan Qixiu with only four left.
All the casualties were related to Long Chengen. Shangguan Wei secretly swore that when Linjiang City was destroyed, Long Chengen would be cut into thousands of pieces and his skin and muscles would be peeled off.
"How are the siege equipment prepared?"
The first two attacks, the first battle general and the second surprise attack, both failed.
This time, Shangguan Wei wanted to fight steadily and used siege equipment to storm Linjiang City.
Shangguan Yi replied: "Go back to the general, we are ready and can attack the city at any time."
Shangguan Wei gave the order a few days ago, and the four of them prepared it together, and everything was ready.
The brother died, and they were holding fire in their hearts.
"Okay, attack the city in two days!"
Shangguan Wei said coldly.
The four people bowed their hands and said, "General, take your orders!"
....
Linjiang City.
When the empress's edict arrived in the city, Di Luoxi took it and said, "Xiao Longlong, the empress is praising you."
Long Chen was sitting behind him, squeezing Di Luoxi's shoulders, then slowly moving down, then moving forward, and then...
"What are you doing? It's broad daylight!"
Di Luoxi instinctively shrank and covered her front with her hands.
Long Chen said: "Princess, do you think it's strange that the old thief Shangguan has been too quiet these past two days?"
Di Luoxi received the edict and said: "It's not your trick. I heard that they have been busy treating the wounded soldiers in the past few days, and the camp is filled with screams."
Di Luoxi didn't know that there was a master in the Martial Emperor realm hidden in Caishi City, so she wasn't worried.
In two battles, Shangguan Mu and Shangguan Hu were killed, Shangguan Xiu was seriously injured, and tens of thousands of people from the Tianwei Army were killed.
Di Luoxi felt that this battle was basically won, so she was not in a hurry.
But Long Chen kept thinking why the master didn't come out last time. He must have other plans.
Li Xiannan came in from the outside and said in a furious tone: "Princess, Shangguan Xiu brought the wounded soldiers back to Caishi City to recuperate. Shangguan Wei has prepared siege equipment and plans to attack the city."
"In addition, it seems that someone has come from Jinling, possibly Li Chengdao's envoy."
Both sides were monitoring each other's movements. Li Xiannan also knew what happened at Shangguanwei Military Camp.
Di Luoxi thought for a moment and said: "Li Chengdao must be anxious. He is too suspicious. But it's strange. Shangguan Wei's son died, and he is still suspicious?"
Li Chengdao was suspicious, and this matter was known to the whole world. The Longye family died because of suspicion.
Long Chen sneered: "How did Li Chengdao ascend to the throne? He killed his father and brother, and his biological mother was imprisoned in the cold palace. Who can he trust?"
Li Chengdao was originally the third prince and came to power through a coup. If he could kill his own father and brother, how could he dare to believe that others would be loyal to him.
Qingyue said: "Shangguan Xiu was hit hard by you and can no longer go to the battlefield. It is normal to take the wounded soldiers back to recuperate."
Xuan Yi also said: "Yes, there are so many wounded soldiers staying in the camp. If a war breaks out, they will have to take care of the wounded soldiers."
Zhang Qian didn't say anything, she looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.
"If...you were Shangguan Wei, what would you do now?"
Long Chen asked Emperor Luo Xi.
Di Luoxi thought for a while and said: "The generals suffered heavy casualties, but their strength is still superior. I will attack the city with all my strength, just like Shangguan Wei is doing now."
Long Chen asked again: "What would you do if you still had a master who was in the middle stage of the Martial Emperor?"
hiss...
Di Luoxi turned around suddenly, stared at Long Chen and asked, "What do you mean?"
