"How many times have I told you that I will not take you in!"
"Do you want me to point it out? Well, let me tell you, because you are Zhao Lun's daughter, who knows if you are sincerely seeking refuge with me or if you are waiting for an opportunity to kill me?"
"Even if you can't kill me, will you reveal my information to Shi Le?"
"Anyway, in short, you should go back and stop messing around!"
Long Chen was really impatient, he wanted to sleep, he was really sleepy.
However, Zhao Ying refused and said, "No, I won't leave unless you take her in!"
"Anyway, I'm here tonight. If you can, you can molest me."
Looking at the shameless Zhao Ying in front of him, Long Chen was really speechless.
"Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao, do you think my reputation as a pervert is for nothing?"
"Do you really think I don't dare to take off your clothes? Do you think I'm joking?"
Long Chen was a little angry. He glanced at Zhao Ying with cold and stern eyes, making Zhao Ying tremble slightly.
"You...don't mess around!"
Zhao Ying instinctively covered her body and took a step back unconsciously.
Long Chen snorted and sneered: "That's right, go back. If you don't leave, I will sleep with you tonight!"
Long Chen lay down on his side, blew out the oil lamp in one breath, and said: "Remember to close the door!"
The room suddenly turned dark. Zhao Ying looked at Long Chen, who was sleeping soundly, and hesitated for a long time before slowly turning around and leaving the room.
When he walked into the yard, Zhao Yingcai found that the door was open, so he turned around and closed it again.
With a faint sigh, Zhao Yingfei climbed onto the roof and stepped on the ridge to go home.
There was no guard in the room where Long Chen was located, because there was no need for it.
If someone dares to assassinate Long Chen, that person must have extremely high cultivation level, and the spies from Xichang are no match.
Therefore, simply don't arrange any guards.
Zhao Ying came and went, but no one cared.
Zhao Ying returned home, entered the room, took out the fire stick and lit the oil lamp.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Zhao Ying was stunned for a long time, then slowly took off her makeup, changed her clothes, and fell on the bed to sleep.
It was the end of the Chou period, but Zhao Ying couldn't sleep, still thinking about Long Chen.
In this daze, Zhao Ying slowly fell asleep.
The next morning.
Long Chen stretched out and his eyelids felt a little heavy.
Zhao Ying made a scene last night and didn't get enough sleep.
"Good morning, sir."
Long Chen got up from the room to wash up. Han Ziping happened to pass by and said hello.
Dugu Jiali walked in from outside and saw Long Chen fetching water to wash himself.
In Xixia, washing one's body with water is a luxury, and only Long Chen can do this.
"Sir, Zhao Jing has sent a letter."
Zhao Jing is the cavalry captain assigned by Long Chen to serve under Zhu Yong.
"say what?"
Long Chen wiped the water off his body, picked up his clothes and put them on.
Dugu Jiali is one of her own, and Long Chen doesn't shy away from it either.
"Zhao Jing said that Shi Le's defeated troops gathered in Guancheng. They wanted to attack Guancheng yesterday, but Shi Le arrived with his defeated troops."
"They thought they couldn't defeat them, so they led their troops and horses to the west to plunder."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, Zhao Jing is right to do this."
"Those people under Zhu Yong are just a mob. They can rely on their numerical superiority to deal with ordinary officers and soldiers. But if they really encounter elites, they will definitely be defeated."
The purpose of conferring Zhu Yong the title of General of the Conquest of the West was to disrupt the Xixia rear, not to allow them to confront Shi Le head-on.
If they fight head-on, Zhu Yong and the others will definitely be defeated.
This is also the reason why Long Chen sent two captains to Zhu Yong. He did not want to control Zhu Yong's army, but mainly to guide him and prevent Zhu Yong from causing chaos.
Dugu Jiali said: "Guancheng is a fortress. After passing Guancheng, you can drive straight in to the west. It would be great if Zhu Yong captured it."
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Guancheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How can it be so easy?"
"then..."
At that time, Long Ye planned to conquer Guancheng, and then drive directly to the west to conquer Xingqing City.
At that time, there were only 30,000 defenders in the city, but the 100,000 Long family troops in Longye were unable to break through.
Not far to the north of Guancheng is Bailang Mountain.
After the failure of the attack on Guancheng, Long Ye retreated to Bailang Mountain.
Shi Le took the opportunity and mobilized the whole country, plus barbarian cavalry, to encircle 100,000 Long family troops.
An earth-shattering bloody battle began in Bailang Mountain.
Dugu Jiali knew that north of Guancheng was Bailang Mountain, and also knew the reason why Long Chen hesitated to speak, so she did not continue.
"By the way, what should we do with those prisoners? With 200,000 mouths, even if they are half full, it still requires a lot of food."
"Our current material supply is only enough for the Long family army. If we add them, we really can't open the pot."
The 200,000 Long family troops fought for such a long time, and their daily food consumption was staggering.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was using the whole country to support Long Chen's western expedition.
Fortunately, Longchen implemented the farming system, and Zhenguo Temple had tens of thousands of captives working on the land. In addition, the farming system was also implemented before Jade Buddha Pass, and some surplus grain was accumulated.
Otherwise, the treasury of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could not support such a long war.
"Are the things sent by the Ministry of War okay?"
Long Chen knew that Wang Wei deliberately sent some not-so-good supplies. This was Li Chengdao's secret order. Long Chen, the empress and Wang Wei knew it all.
Of course, Long Chen still had to express his protest and scold him when he needed to, so that he would appear genuine.
Dugu Jiali said helplessly: "It's better, but it's not much better."
"I chatted with the grain transport officer for a while last time, and she said that with the current shortage of supplies, the Lord is under great pressure to raise grain."
The last thing to fight in a war are logistical supplies such as food, war horses, and weapons.
Long Chen nodded slightly, he also knew that the empress was under great pressure.
When the soldiers are on the move, their appetite increases greatly, and the war horses must also be fed fine food. One war horse's horse food is worth the weight of several soldiers.
"Sir, do you want us to take a break?"
Dugu Jiali suggested that the army take a temporary rest, and Long Chen was also thinking about this issue.
From the counterattack at Jade Foguan to the battle at Zhenguo Temple, and then to the defense battle of Yangcheng, the Long family army has been fighting continuously for more than half a year, and everyone is very tired.
"Okay, let the brothers have a good rest. There is not enough food and the weather is too hot. We will wait until autumn."
Long Chen decided to take a rest first and wait until the summer heat was over and there would be enough food during the autumn harvest, then he would fight again.
Dugu Jiali asked: "Do you want to discuss it with others?"
Long Chen changed his clothes and said: "Let's go, call them all over and discuss it together."
Long Chen and Dugu Jiali arrived at the main hall, and Wu Jian and Zhang Qian's group also arrived.
Wu Chuchu did not come today because she was recovering from her injuries.
After sitting down, Long Chen said: "Just now, Jiali and I discussed it. The brothers have been fighting for more than half a year and are very tired. In addition, our food and grass are somewhat in short supply. I plan to take a few rests first.
Let’s start the war again in the autumn.”
"This is what Carrie and I think. What do you think?"
Long Chen is the commander-in-chief, but when it comes to such important decisions, he must consult with other generals and cannot act arbitrarily.
Fighting a war is not your own business, you must rely on your subordinates. If important matters are not discussed with everyone, the final execution effect will be very poor, and some people may even oppose you.
