After unfolding the secret order, Yan Shuangyu's face changed slightly.
"What's wrong? Is there another difficult task?"
Seeing Yan Shuangyu's ugly face, Li Sanniang thought that Shen Wanjin had another difficult task.
Yan Shuangyu said: "The poster said that Meng Lan's matter should be settled here and no further investigation is allowed!"
Li Sanniang nodded slightly and said: "The death of Er Gouzi and Donkey Dan is so weird. They turned into mummies. I don't know who killed them."
"Judging from the appearance of the poster, the murderer may be more terrifying than Long Chengen."
At first, both Yan Shuangyu and Li Sanniang suspected that Long Chen had destroyed the body and destroyed the traces.
But judging from Shen Wanjin's reaction, there should be someone else involved in this matter, and this person Shen Wanjin didn't dare to mess with.
Yan Shuangyu said: "The original poster said that there will be no further investigation, so there will be no further investigation."
"You go and have a rest. After running back and forth for a few days, you can wash yourself off."
Li Sanniang went down to the attic and went to the backyard to wash up.
Yan Shuangyu took the secret letter and read it again, sighing: "Long Family Kung Fu? How should I ask?"
Meng Lan died, and Shen Wanjin asked Yan Shuangyu to find a way to steal Long Chen's skills.
Yan Shuangyu also felt a headache.
After thinking for a long time and seeing the peach blossoms blooming in the backyard, Yan Shuangyu wrote a letter and sent someone to Zhenguo Temple.
...
Zhenguo Temple.
Fuhui was standing on the top of the mountain, directing a group of monks and iron kites to rebuild the main hall.
Long Chen planned to rebuild the Zhenguo Temple, but the worship was no longer to the Buddha of Refuge, but to Avalokitesvara and Amitabha.
If you want to destroy Xixia, you must destroy the Buddhist refuge and suppress Zhaoti Temple.
Long Chen thought about using Taoism to replace Buddhism, but he really didn't like these bald donkeys.
But the people of Xixia preferred Buddhism. In order to win over them earlier, Long Chen thought of using Buddhism first, and then slowly changing to Taoism.
"This is the main hall, you must be careful!"
Wearing cassock, Fuhui looks like the abbot of Zhenguo Temple.
Wu Jian led Han Ziping and the others up from the mountain and walked to Long Chen's room. Fu Hui immediately nodded and bowed in salute.
"General Wu!"
"Abbot Fuhui, are you busy?"
Wu Jian smiled and said hello, Fu Hui was just a pug now, Wu Jian greeted him like he was teasing a dog.
Entering the room, Zhang Qian and others were planning a subsequent attack around the table.
"Old Wu, sit down."
Long Chen pointed to the seat next to him, but Wu Jian sat down opposite and said with a smile: "That's their seat."
Han Ziping and the other three sat down next to Wu Jian knowingly.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Then you can sit down."
Zhang Qian and the other five sat down next to them.
Long Chen pointed at the map and said: "Shi Le plans to defend Yangcheng and block our attack to the west. Their current strength is approaching 400,000, and the defenses around Yangcheng have been strengthening."
"What do you think?"
Wu Jian said: "This Shi Le has gathered so many people so quickly. He is really capable."
Han Ziping complained: "As the king of a country, he actually deceives the people with lies. It is really shameless."
They all know that Shi Le was able to recruit so many soldiers and horses in a short period of time all because of Zhao Lun's strategy.
It was said that Long Chen wanted to castrate all Xixia men and then take possession of their wives and daughters.
Long Chen smiled and said: "But I must say, the effect is really good."
He Juntao said: "Your Majesty's strategy has worked. The powerful people in Xixia are making trouble, and the ministers in the court also reported to Shi Le to protest against Shi Le's land for tenants."
If there is a lot of land, the court has the most ministers, and their opposition is the most intense.
Long Chen said: "Let's get to the point, what are you going to do?"
Wu Chuchu pointed to the map and said: "Going west from Zhenguo Temple, you must pass through Yangcheng. If we cannot capture Yangcheng, we will not be able to go deeper."
"So, this tough battle in Yangcheng has to be fought."
Bai Tingting said: "It is not wise to attack Yangcheng by force. Shile built Yangcheng so thickly. The consequences of our attack will be the same as Shile's attack on Zhenguo Temple."
"I suggest that like last time, we take some cavalry to take a detour into the hinterland of Xixia to attract Yangcheng's troops. It is best not to attack the city."
Wu Jian nodded slightly and said: "General Bai is right. It is best to attract the troops from Yangcheng. Attacking the city is the next best option."
Long Chen looked at several points on the map, Yangcheng, Bailang Mountain, Yuncheng, Panhe Palace, Xingqing City...
"Attract it, how to attract it?"
"If I take tens of thousands of cavalry to bypass Yangcheng and enter the hinterland of Xixia, and Shi Le divides his troops into 100,000 to surround me, then I will be blocked."
Long Chen looked at the map and said.
Bai Tingting followed the path of Long Chen's finger, shook her head slightly and said, "Then there is no other way. The only option left is to attack by force."
Long Chen knocked on the table and said: "Let me think about it again. Anyway, we are ready for a protracted war. The spring plowing at Zhenguo Temple has been completed. We will have enough food. Let's use it up slowly."
The surrounding land was planted, and Long Chen was ready to fight for several years.
Shi strangled so many people to death and drafted the best into soldiers, so the treasury must be empty.
At that time, the people will have no food to eat, the morale of the military will be unstable, and the country will be in chaos.
Wu Jian agreed: "This is also a way to wait until Xixia cannot hold on internally."
Dong dong dong...
There was a knock on the door. Han Ziping stood up and opened the door. A messenger stood at the door.
"King Wu, there is a letter from the Holy One."
The messenger took out a bamboo tube, and Han Ziping took it, closed the door, and presented the bamboo tube to Long Chen.
Opening the bamboo tube, Long Chen read the letter sent by the empress and said happily: "We won the battle here, Li Chengdao retreated, and the situation over Luo Xi and Ling Yi has improved."
Long Chen gave the letter to Wu Jian, and everyone was very happy after reading it.
"Your Excellency is right. As long as our side wins the battle, Li Chengdao will not try his best to help Xixia."
Wu Jian was very happy, as Long Chen expected.
Long Chen said: "Li Chengdao's purpose is to coordinate Xixia and contain the forces of Zhou Dynasty."
"Now that Shi Le has suffered two major defeats and has turned from offense to defense, Li Chengdao needs to think about himself."
Zhang Qian said: "Then Li Chengdao must be worried. After we destroyed Xixia, we turned around and attacked Nanliang. He should consider how to respond."
Long Chen said: "We must find a way to fight again and capture Yangcheng as soon as possible. If we keep delaying, Li Chengdao will think that we are unable to fight again."
If Li Chengdao thought so, he would definitely attack again.
Long Chen must find a way to win another battle.
"Zhang Qian, Tang Heizi, you two come with me to Yangcheng."
Long Chen singled out the two of them, both of whom were cavalrymen.
Wu Jian asked: "Sir, do you want to see Yangcheng's defense in person?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I won't be able to think of a solution unless I go to Yangcheng and see with my own eyes."
Bai Tingting said: "I will go with you, sir. I don't lead the army anyway, so there is nothing to do here."
Zhang Qian and the four of them usually have to lead troops, but Bai Tingting doesn't know how to lead troops, so she doesn't lead troops much.
"Okay, you three will go with me, bringing only two hundred rebel troops."
Speaking of this, Long Chen said to Wu Jian: "Old Wu, we lost a lot of the Rebel Army in the last battle. Please select some more people."
Wu Jian said: "We are choosing, but the Anti-Level Army is all elite, and they cannot be replaced so quickly."
Out of the 200,000 Long family troops, only 300 Nilian troops were selected. They were the best among the best.
There were almost a hundred casualties last time, and it won't be that easy to make up for it again.
Long Chen nodded and said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, the Nilin Army is more skilled than too many, and it is better to be lacking than to be indiscriminate."
What Long Chen wants is the elite, not just a bunch of tricks.
"Okay, let's go now."
Long Chen stood up, and everyone followed him and left the room. Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting went back to put on their armor and get their weapons.
At this time, a spy came up and said a few words to He Juntao.
He Juntao immediately came over and said to Long Chen: "Sir, if Yan Shuangyu has something urgent, please come over."
Long Chen frowned and asked: "Yan Shuangyu is looking for me? What's the matter?"
There is nothing going on at these times, so why is Yan Shuangyu suddenly looking for her? Is she getting angry?
He Juntao said: "The visitor has sent a letter."
With that said, He Juntao handed Yan Shuangyu's letter to Long Chen.
Long Chen unfolded it, looked at it, smiled, and said, "Tell that person and we'll talk about it in two days."
Yan Shuang's jade letter said that the peach blossoms in the Jade Buddha Tower were in bloom, and she invited Long Chen to come over to have a drink and enjoy the flowers.
This isn't about appreciating flowers, it's just showing off.
Long Chen was always wary of Yan Shuangyu's embrace.
To work so diligently, he must have been instructed by Shen Wanjin.
Long Chen didn't know what Yan Shuangyu was planning, and he would not attack Yan Shuangyu easily.
A gentleman is fond of sex, and he should do so in a proper way.
Don't fall into other people's traps.
After Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting put on their armor, Long Chen said: "Let's go! Take a trip to Yangcheng!"
