Bai Tingting stuck out her tongue and said: "Good things don't go out, and scandals spread thousands of miles. Everyone in the Long family knows that my husband loves to take a bath."
Long Chen smiled and said: "What kind of scandal is it that I take a bath with my wife? It's neither stealing nor robbing."
"Let's go, I haven't washed in a long time."
Long Chen took out his clothes and took Zhang Qian and the other five people down the mountain.
To the north, there was a simple brick house built with steam inside, and a dozen female soldiers were boiling hot water.
It's said to be a bathroom, but it's actually just a big pool.
On the battlefield, if you can wash it, it's good. You can't be picky.
Zhang Qian untied Long Chen's armor and the clothes he had worn for many days.
"Husband, there is dirt all over your body."
Bai Tingting walked over and saw something dark on Long Chen's body, which was left by blood stains.
"The last night raid killed too many people. Then we were too busy setting up defenses and ignored it."
"Come and wash your husband."
Long Chen picked up Bai Tingting and got out of the pool.
Taking a bath for the first time in so many days, Long Chen leaned against the edge of the pool comfortably.
Bai Tingting picked up the silk scarf and washed it with Long Chen, washing away a lot of blood.
"How many people have you killed? There are so many blood clots."
Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting rubbed together for Long Chen.
"I don't remember. I killed everyone I saw that night. When I cleaned up later... there must have been more than 500 people, and my black sword had holes in it."
Zhang Qian simply washed herself, then swam over, took Bai Tingting's silk scarf, and said, "I'll do it, and you can wash it too."
Bai Tingting handed the scarf to Zhang Qian and squatted beside her to wash it herself.
Zhang Qian wiped Long Chen clean and said: "I heard about the situation at that time. It was too risky for my husband to do that."
"If we are blocked at the top of the mountain, we will be in a desperate situation."
Wu Chuchu also said: "Yes, that is really risky. If the Xixia army fights to the death, a thousand people will definitely not be able to defeat 50,000."
"If we can't defeat them here, if Deshan returns and surrounds us, we will die."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Throw them to death and survive, sink them to death and survive. I expect to be able to kill them."
The Zhenguo Temple was breached last time, and these people were afraid of Long Chen from the bottom of their hearts.
As long as the killing is severe, the enemy will be frightened, the army will have no fighting spirit, and it will collapse.
"There's too much dirt on you."
Wu Xiangyun scrubbed hard at a black stain.
"Hiss...this isn't a stain. I've been with you for so long, but I don't even know what it is."
Long Chen hugged Wu Xiangyun and squeezed. Wu Xiangyun suddenly realized it and chuckled: "Oh, it turns out that's not the case. I saw it wrong."
Dugu Jiali smiled and said: "This little girl did it on purpose. I wanted to clean her up."
Long Chen hugged Wu Xiangyun and said with a smile: "They all said they would deal with you, so they don't blame me."
Wu Xiangyun chuckled and said: "Husband, spare my life..."
...
More than 150 miles west of Zhenguo Temple, there is a large city with a wall more than ten meters high. The garrison on the city is well prepared.
This is Yangcheng, where Shi Le met his troops.
One after another, troops gathered here, and tents were set up outside the city.
In the prefect's mansion in the city, Shi Le was sitting at the head of the throne, flanked by the prince Shi Haoran, the imperial advisor Kong Ji, the privy envoy Lu Qichang, the commander-in-chief Li Chenglie, the hussar general Fu Yong, and the prefect of Yangcheng Ma Wenshan.
Behind Monk Kongji stood two fierce-looking monks. These two were newly trained disciples from Zhaoti Temple: their hearts were empty and their hearts were pure.
Further back, there are two more people standing, these two are Fu Hui and Ma Xing.
They were obviously disgusted and stood in an inconspicuous corner.
After Shi Le arrived in Yangcheng, his anger subsided a lot. Fu Hui and Ma Xing were only scolded and not even beaten.
"Armies from all over the country are arriving one after another. Except for those from the west who have not yet arrived, and the Yuncheng garrison in the north who are guarding against the barbarians, all others have arrived. The total strength is 320,000."
Privy Councilor Lu Qichang reported on the situation of the meeting of troops.
Shi Le was not satisfied after hearing this and asked: "Why are there only 320,000 troops in the country?"
In Shi Le's impression, all men in Xixia can serve as soldiers, because these men are from Zhaoti Temple and are tall and strong, so they are suitable for fighting as soldiers.
At that time, Shi Le saw that some people in Xingqing City were thin, small, and even disabled.
Shi Le felt that these short and disabled people were waste, wasting Xixia's food and unable to serve the country.
He consulted with monk Kongji and finally made a plan to have a son.
Zhaoti Temple has always had people seeking children, but Zhaoti Temple does not provide services for children.
Later, there was the House of Seeking Children, which specially selected strong monks to help women beg for children.
Lu Qichang said: "Your Majesty, the losses from the last battle have not been recovered, and we have suffered some losses in the battle with Tianxiahui."
"Moreover, there were too many losses in this battle at Zhenguo Temple."
In the battle of Zhenguo Temple, 170,000 were lost. Adding the 320,000 gathered here, there were already almost 500,000 troops.
In terms of quantity, it’s really quite a lot.
Among the three kingdoms, Xixia is the smallest, has the smallest population, and the weakest national strength, but it has a large number of conscripts and a high proportion.
The proportion of military service is high, and the soldiers are drawn from the most elite members of the population. All the best are taken away. They also have to pay food to support the soldiers, which puts a heavy burden on the people.
The best men died on the battlefield, the people's wealth was emptied out, and the war caused great losses to the country.
Shi Le was very dissatisfied, but had no choice but to say: "If there are not enough men, then form a women's corps. There are no women soldiers in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and they are very powerful in combat."
Lu Qichang said helplessly: "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty has always had a tradition of women serving in the military. The empress herself is a woman, and the two princesses Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi are good at fighting, so the women's corps is so powerful."
"And I have never had female soldiers in Daxia, so the temporary corps formed may be..."
There is no tradition of women's regiments in Xixia, and there are no female generals to lead them.
If the current general were to take charge, it would definitely be a mess.
Shi Le said coldly: "Jingxiang is a good candidate, please consider it."
Shi Jingxiang is the daughter of Shi Le and the second princess of Xixia. She likes to dance with guns and sticks. She usually hangs out in the military camp and is very good at riding and shooting.
Lu Qichang helplessly remained silent.
The prince Shi Haoran said: "Privy Council, what my father said is true. Now when the country is in danger, every man has the responsibility. The women of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can fight, why can't I, the women of Daxia?"
"The second sister has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. It is feasible for her to form a legion."
When Lu Qichang saw that both Shi Le and Shi Haoran said this, he could no longer object and said: "Wei Chen has received the decree and immediately asked the Privy Council to join the second princess to form a female soldier corps."
Shi Le nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's do it earlier."
"How is the situation over at Zhenguo Temple?"
Li Chenglie, the commander-in-chief who was responsible for inquiring about the news, said: "Long Chengen has occupied Zhenguo Temple and stationed 100,000 troops in Zhenguo Temple. He personally serves as the commander-in-chief."
"They also occupied Chiyan Temple and deployed 50,000 cavalry. The commanders were Wu Jian and Tang Heizi."
"Zhenguo Temple and Chiyan Temple are the horns of each other and support each other."
Shi Le slowly thought about it in his mind.
One hundred thousand Long family troops guard Zhenguo Temple. If we attack by force, all three hundred thousand troops will attack.
But if we attack Zhenguo Temple with all our strength, the cavalry from Chiyan Temple will inevitably attack from behind.
Zhenguo Temple is a strong person, but it is a pity that Deshan was lost like this.
Shi Le could not wait to crush his virtue and kindness into ashes.
At this time, a horseman arrived at the door and said, "There is an urgent report from Zhenguo Temple!"
