Hu Feiyang said: "The final general thought that the navy upstream only needed to make a show of threatening Diaoyu City, and there was no need to actually fight."
"In this way, it can not only act as a deterrent, but also avoid loopholes."
Li Chengdao nodded and said: "General Hu is right."
Potential threats are the best deterrent.
Cheng Li only needed to act upstream as if he might swim down the river at any time, which was the best deterrent to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, in this way, both Houmi Pass and Yunqi City can be securely defended without the possibility of being attacked by surprise.
Qiu Kuohai said ashamedly: "General Hu is still thinking carefully."
Li Chengdao's plan was decided, Hu Feiyang immediately returned to Xianhe City, while Qiu Kuohai reorganized his troops in Wushun City and prepared to attack Linjiang City.
.
Long Chen carefully returned to the room, and after making sure that the empress was not in the room, Long Chen closed the door.
After taking off his clothes, Long Chen lay on the bed, shook his head and sighed: "Fate has a way with people."
That is a hurdle that cannot be crossed.
Lying on his side, Long Chen smelled a hint of sweet fragrance. This fragrance was very familiar.
Remember, it’s the empress’ body scent?
Long Chen immediately looked under the bed.
no one!
"There must be no one!"
Long Chen found it a bit funny, actually suspecting that the empress was hiding under the bed.
How could a majestic empress be so horny that she hides under the bed?
Sure enough, I was overthinking it.
But where does body scent come from?
Just because you lay in bed for a while, you have body odor?
Long Chen stood up slightly and looked around, and found a hint of pink under the pillow.
When I took off the pillow, I found a bellyband made of pink silk with pictures of spring birds embroidered on it.
This style is in line with the empress's preferences.
"Leave a bellyband under my pillow."
Long Chen smelled it, looked at his bellyband and smiled helplessly.
Holding his bellyband, Long Chen slowly fell asleep.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door, and Long Chen opened his eyes. The face is still dark.
"Who?"
Long Chen still held his bellyband in his hand, and he suspected that the person knocking on the door was the empress.
"My subordinate He Juntao has something urgent to report."
He Juntao's voice came, and Long Chen immediately hid his bellyband under his pillow.
"Come in!"
Long Chen was sitting on the bed, and He Juntao walked in and reported: "The news just now, Hu Feiyang has arrived in Wushun City, and Li Chengdao may attack, the possibility is very high!"
Long Chen asked: "Has the time for the attack been determined?"
He Juntao shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Once Liang Jun moves, report it immediately!"
He Juntao immediately went out to investigate.
Li Chengdao was finally about to send troops. Long Chen glanced at the wooden gun on the wall, stood up, put on his clothes and prepared to report to the empress.
This matter is important and must be told to the Empress.
But after getting dressed, Long Chen looked at the bellyband under the pillow and hesitated.
The empress must have slept at this time. Even if she didn't, she was still practicing in the bedroom, wearing pink pajamas.
"Tsk. How embarrassing!"
Long Chen was thinking about whether to go, or to let others report, or to tell Yingfeng.
After thinking about it, I realized that this matter is of great importance and it is embarrassing, but I still have to go.
Long Chen bravely went out and walked towards the empress' bedroom.
The room where the empress lived was where Di Luoxi lived before. Long Chen was very familiar with the route and arrived there in just a few steps.
There were shadow guards guarding the door. When they saw Long Chen, the shadow guards immediately saluted.
Long Chen stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, but then walked in.
The lights inside were still on, and Yingfeng was watching beside her. As expected, the empress was sitting cross-legged on the bed, wearing a pair of pink trousers, a pink bellyband, and her hair was loose.
Guessed the color correctly.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Long Chen stood beside the bed, saluting solemnly, without squinting his eyes.
The empress opened her eyes slightly, thinking of what happened during the day, she felt a little unhappy.
The majestic empress came to the door, but was rejected.
"What's the matter!"
The empress said coldly.
Long Chen said: "The spies said that Li Chengdao is planning to mobilize 500,000 troops from Wushun City and Xianhe City to besiege Linjiang City, and Li Chengdao may come in person."
Yingfeng's expression changed slightly. An army of 500,000 was besieging the city, but there were only 80,000 defenders in the city.
The empress said solemnly: "This Li Chengdao has occupied the upper reaches of Monkey Maze and wants to capture Linjiang City before our army arrives."
The empress could also guess what Li Chengdao was thinking.
If she were an empress, she would do the same thing.
Long Chen nodded and said: "I guess this is also the case. Before our army has assembled, they have a temporary advantage and attack Linjiang City first."
"If it can be captured, Dazhou and Nanliang will once again draw the river to rule. With the river across the river, it will not be easy to cross the river."
Before setting off, Long Chen didn't know that Houmi Pass had been lost, so he only came with the Empress.
Facing an army of 500,000, no matter how high Long Chen's cultivation level is, he still can't kill them all.
Not to mention 500,000, even if 50,000 elite soldiers stand in front to kill you, they can still wear people to death.
When the gap in military strength is too large, things will become very difficult.
It is easy to deal with Emperor Zun in the real realm, and it is also easy to kill Li Chengdao, but the idea of killing hundreds of thousands of troops is unrealistic. After all, he is not an immortal who can break the sky with one sword.
"I was careless."
The empress shook her head slightly. She originally thought that there were two masters in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, especially Long Chen whose cultivation level surpassed that of the Emperor. Li Chengdao did not dare to act rashly, but he was caught off guard.
Yingfeng asked from the side: "Should we send an order to the capital and order the elites of the Long Family Army and the Peking Camp to go all the way for reinforcements?"
From the current point of view, the wisest thing to do is to ask the Long family army to reinforce them. If Feiying sends a message, the military report can arrive in two days and it can be rushed in four days. Come.
A total of six days.
The empress looked at Long Chen, who thought for a while and said: "Our biggest problem is that we don't have enough food and grass. If the entire army is assembled, the army and horses will consume too much food and grass."
War is all about logistics. If there is a steady supply of troops and ordnance, we can keep fighting until we win.
Just like when the Tang Dynasty fought against foreign enemies, overall it lost more than it won, but the Tang Dynasty had strong national power and could replenish its troops in time to fight again. Unlike foreign nations, if they lose one battle they will be completely destroyed.
The biggest problem of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is that they have just finished a big battle and there is not enough food and grass to support them.
When they destroyed Xixia, the 200,000 Long family army consumed a huge amount of supplies. Linjiang City and Caishi City in the south were also fighting, almost depleting the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's food reserves.
If we gather on a large scale now, we are afraid that we will run out of food and grass.
The empress looked sad, and the current situation was not optimistic. Before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had recovered from the last consumption, Nanliang launched an attack.
According to the original plan, Dazhou needed to rest for at least three years. After enough food and grass were gathered and the navy was trained, he could then attack.
The plan could not keep up with the changes. While I was planning, the enemy was also trying his best to find fighter opportunities.
Li Chengdao is not a fool, he is a thief!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Linjiang City is strong enough and it won't be a problem to defend it."
"As long as the Houmi Pass is recaptured and Linjiang City is connected to Jiangbei, Li Chengdao will have scruples."
Long Chen has his own plan, but he must confirm one thing first.
The empress looked at Long Chen and said, "Is there any problem with your plan?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I don't know, I have Zhang Liang's plan, and he has the wall ladder. I can't control Li Chengdao's actions, let alone that thing."
Long Chen has his own plan, but whether this plan can work depends on how the other party acts.
The empress nodded slightly and said: "It's okay, let's kill before the battle, let Li Chengdao know how powerful he is, and let others know something."
