When Hou Qi arrived at the door, Shi Le asked Hou Qi to come in.
"Your Majesty, there is a new situation in Zhenguo Temple. All five female generals under Long Chengen have arrived."
Deshan suffered the loss of information and did not know that Long Chen had arrived at Zhenguo Temple.
Shi Le was worried that Long Chen would try another trick, so he sent Hou Qi to keep an eye on Zhenguo Temple and report all his actions.
Hou Qi had just found out the information about Zhenguo Temple and immediately came back to report it.
Kong Ji immediately asked: "Which five?"
Hou Qi replied: "Sisters Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Bai Tingting and Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun."
"Oh, there is also a woman I have never seen before. It seems to be Long Chengen's housekeeper He Juntao."
Kong Ji asked again: "Is there anyone else?"
Hou Qi shook his head and said, "I haven't found anyone else."
After confirming that it was correct, Monk Kongji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, things are fine."
"These five people are Long Chengen's generals, but they are more like his concubines than generals."
"The cultivation level of the five of them is no more than that of a king. The tallest one, Zhang Qian, is only a middle or late king, and the others are even less worthy."
"They are just following the army and having a romantic relationship with Long Chengen."
"We have five martial arts masters, and Long Chengen only has one. When the generals in front of the battle line come to an end, we will definitely win a big victory."
The more Monk Kongji talked, the happier he became. Even Shi Le was happy, and said, "Long Chengen didn't bring any experts to help him. Does he think he is invincible?"
The crown prince Shi Haoran said: "I thought it was not that Long Chengen was arrogant, but that there was no one available in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
"Long Chengen attacks Daxia, and Nanliang will definitely send troops to attack. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi must go south to guard."
"The empress must sit in the capital. If the situation is critical, she must go south to guard it."
"So, the only experts Da Zhou can use are Zhang Qian and a few people."
Shi Haoran felt that there was no one available in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so that's why he did this.
General Fu Yong of the Hussars agreed with Shi Haoran's statement.
"What the prince said is true. The victory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in recent years was all due to Long Chengen's tricks."
"When it comes to experts, there really aren't many in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Long Chengen has no one to rely on, so he can only rely on himself."
"But even if Long Chengen is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?"
"When the five of us attack, Long Chengen will be defeated."
Fu Yong's estimate was very optimistic. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this battle was about to begin.
Lu Qichang greeted the rider: "Is there any other information?"
Hou Qi hesitated and said, "There is another bad news."
Lu Qichang's face turned cold and he asked in a panic: "What's going on?"
Lu Qichang was worried that Long Chen would do something wrong again.
Hou Qi said: "The tenants around Zhenguo Temple have all gone to Zhenguo Temple to join the army to help Long Chengen fight the war."
Lu Qichang looked surprised, and others also felt strange, why would the tenants support Long Chen and help Long Chen fight the war?
Hearing this, Shi Le flew into a rage and cursed: "These untouchables are eating inside and outside. I have no soldiers to use, but they surrendered to the enemy and treason, so I killed them all!"
Hou Qi bowed and said: "The last general has received the decree!"
The waiting rider was about to go out to deliver the order, but Kong Ji got up to stop him.
"Wait a minute! Your Majesty, there must be something fishy here!"
"Do you know why those tenants joined Long Cheng'en?"
Kong Ji was relatively calm and immediately stopped Shi Le.
Others also disagreed in their hearts, but Shi Le was so angry that they did not dare to stop him.
Shi Le leaned on the chair, looking at Hou Qi with angry eyes and saying nothing.
Hou Qi turned back and bowed to Kong Ji: "National Master, Long Cheng'en ordered that all the land that originally belonged to Zhenguo Temple for a hundred miles around will belong to the tenants who cultivate it!"
"Those tenants were worried that their land would be taken back, so they helped Long Chengen fight the war."
Kong Ji nodded slightly and said to Shi Le: "Your Majesty, these tenants are not seeking refuge with Long Cheng'en, they are just forgetful of their own righteousness."
"The poor monk suggested that it be better to issue a royal order and grant land to all tenants of Zhenguo Temple who are willing to join the army and join the war!"
"After all, Long Chengen is a foreign enemy general, and the king is the king of Daxia. The king's name is correct, and the tenants will definitely obey the king and join the war!"
The Crown Prince Shi Haoran objected and said: "That field is owned by Zhenguo Temple and also owned by my Royal Court of Daxia. How can it be given to these untouchables?"
"They are the people of Daxia, and it is their duty to follow their father to fight. Why should we give them land!"
Tenants are at the bottom of society and have no place to stand. Shi Haoran looked down on tenants.
In Shi Haoran's view, tenants were born to fight for the royal family, and there was no need to give them any benefits!
Privy Councilor Lu Qichang was a relative and looked down upon the tenants. He echoed, "If we give the land to the tenants, they will be willing to fight. How will we be able to rule Daxia in the future?"
"Do we have to give land to tenants every time we fight? How much land do we have to divide?"
"Today we have divided the land of Zhenguo Temple, and tomorrow we should divide the land of Zhaoti Temple. But what about the day after tomorrow? Do we want to divide the king's official land?"
The hussar general Fu Yong and the commander-in-chief Li Chenglie also disagreed.
These people own large tracts of land and are truly big landowners.
They are unwilling to divide the land for fear of losing their own flesh in the end.
Kong Ji glanced at Shi Le anxiously and said to everyone: "This is just an emergency measure. I will give the land to you for the time being and take it back after Long Chengen is defeated."
"Now that the land is not in our hands, even if it is given to us, it is just lip service. It will not harm us, but it will allow the tenants to fight for us!"
"Even if the tenants don't join the war, at least they won't take refuge in Long Cheng'en! This is a temporary measure, not a long-term strategy! Please adopt it, Your Majesty!"
Kong Ji said this, Shi Haoran and the others stopped talking.
They neither object nor agree.
Waiting for Qi to wait for Shi Le's decision.
Shi Le thought about it again and again and said: "What the Imperial Master said is reasonable. We are not going to give the land to those untouchables. It is just a temporary measure."
"Send an order to grant the land of Zhenguo Temple to the tenants, but each household must send a soldier to assemble in Yangcheng immediately."
The biggest enemy now is Long Chen. As long as he can kill Long Chen, anything will do.
The land was given to the tenants just as a token of appreciation and would be taken back after the war was over.
Not only must we take them back, we must also kill a group of these unruly people to let them know who is the king of Xixia.
Hou Qi bowed and said: "The last general has received the decree!"
After waiting to ride out, the discussion in the hall continued.
"Long Chengen's generals have arrived, and our troops have almost been assembled. It's time to fight Long Chengen."
Shi Le really wanted to have a head-on fight with Long Chen to vent his anger.
The commander of the army, Li Chenglie, said: "In two days, our troops and horses can be assembled, and then we can march to Zhenguo Temple to show off!"
Shi Haoran was eager to give it a try and said loudly: "I didn't kill Long Chengen last time. This time I want to behead this beast with my own hands!"
The last time Shi Haoran fought against Long Chen, he suffered a loss.
After returning home, Shi Haoran practiced martial arts hard and his strength improved a lot.
If he had another fight with Long Chen, Shi Haoran felt that he was sure to win, and could even kill Long Chen in formation!
Seeing Shi Haoran being so confident, Kong Ji felt dissatisfied.
Kong Ji asked Fuhui in detail about the situation at that time. Deshan was cut in half by Long Chen with a sword. The situation was too weird.
Long Chen's cultivation level must have improved significantly. If Shi Haoran were to challenge Long Chen in a duel, the final result would probably be...
"The prince's cultivation has greatly increased now, and he will definitely be able to suppress Long Chengen!"
The commander-in-chief Li Chenglie flattered him, while Shi Haoran was gearing up.
Shi Le nodded slightly and said: "Reorganize the troops and prepare for the attack! In two days, we will send troops to conquer the country temple!"
Everyone bowed and said: "Wei ministers accept the decree!"
After everyone dispersed, Privy Councilor Lu Qichang reluctantly wrote a letter back to the Privy Council of Xingqing City, saying that Shi Le had ordered the second princess Shi Jingxiang to form a women's regiment to fight.
...
The waiting horse took the order and left the prefect's mansion, rode his horse through the city gate, and a carriage just entered the city.
The guard stopped the carriage and asked: "What are you doing! Get off!"
An old horseman with a round face and hollow teeth immediately put down his whip and said with a smile: "Master Jun, it's me, from Ma's Liquor Shop."
The defender pointed at another lean man with a rat beard and asked: "Who is he again?"
