Zhong Gui came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Son has asked you to go over and discuss matters."
These days, Zhong Gui was on tenterhooks, fearing that some minister would report Li Chengdao and accuse him of not reporting what he knew.
Until now, no minister has reported anything, and everything is calm as usual.
Li Chengdao slowly stopped his work and stood up, asking: "Do you know anything?"
Zhong Gui said: "The water outside has receded, so we are planning to discuss the invasion of troops."
Li Chengdao changed his clothes, put on his armor, walked out of the yard, and saw an escort standing outside.
"Meet the Emperor, the Holy Son invites you."
Before the escort could finish speaking, Li Chengdao walked to the ghost room by himself.
The escort was completely ignored.
While walking on the road, I happened to bump into Yan Xi and Wu Hongying, who were talking about Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites. .??.
This flood killed many soldiers, and many ministers also died of illness.
Wang Gui was old and could not withstand the hardships. It rained heavily, water accumulated on the ground, and the lake water was filled with dirt. Wang Gui had diarrhea for three days and died.
When they saw Li Chengdao, the two of them immediately saluted, but Li Chengdao ignored them.
"No more talking."
Yan Xi whispered, and the two of them hurried to the handsome man's house.
When they arrived at the yard, the escort was cleaning the mud, and Xuan Jizi and Yu Ziming were kneeling outside the door.
Li Chengdao also knelt down and worshiped: "Slave Li Chengdao, I would like to pay my respects to the Holy Son."
Yan Xi and Wu Hongying knelt down.
When everyone was gathered, Guitai got up and walked out, and began to give instructions: "The water has finally receded, and there are not many good soldiers in the city. Immediately ask Xu Feng of Qingren County to lead troops for reinforcements."
"Wait until reinforcements arrive, then replace the soldiers in the city. It's impossible to fight as it is now."
The situation in the city is very clear to Gui Ti, and these soldiers must be replaced.
He did not ask the soldiers to leave immediately, but waited for reinforcements to arrive.
"At the same time, tell Beiling City and Zhongwucheng to be prepared for Long Chen's sneak attack at this time." Guite continued to give orders, and several people lay down on the ground to take orders.
"Everything depends on the dog slave's arrangement! Go ahead!"
After Gui Fei finished giving his instructions, several people exited the yard.
"How is the situation over there in Xianhe City?"
Guitai asked Feng Erniang, she was responsible for gathering information.
Linhu City is in a weak state at this time, and Long Chen will definitely take action.
So as soon as the flood receded, Gui Tai asked Qingren County to urgently mobilize troops for reinforcements.
I wanted to go earlier, but the flood flooded the surrounding areas, and even the soldiers and horses from Qingren County came and drank the soup.
Feng Erniang said: "No unusual movement has been detected yet. Only last time Yingfeng and Wu Jian mobilized 50,000 troops to reinforce Hukou, and now they have entered the city."
"During heavy rains, the city of Xianhe was closed and no soldiers or horses were dispatched."
This is the information sent back by the escort.
Guitai was a little confused and said: "It's such a good opportunity, but this guy actually stood still?"
Feng Erniang said: "Heavy rains are the same to everyone, and the Long family army cannot march in heavy rains."
Guitai tapped his white and hard fingers on the table, shook his head slightly and said, "No, that's not right, this guy must be up to something, keep exploring!"
Guite said there must be some action, so there must be something, and Feng Erniang didn't dare to say anything more.
"I will go and find out immediately!"
Feng Erniang immediately sent someone to investigate again.
The front yard of Shuai Mansion.
Li Chengdao sat down, and Yan Xi, Wu Hongying, Xuan Jizi, and Yu Ziming took their seats one after another.
Yan Xi, Wu Hongying, and Yu Ziming knew about the disaster relief incident, and they all had doubts in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything.
Now that the water has receded, they won't even mention it.
"The Son ordered me to make arrangements,
Everyone, listen!"
Li Chengdao issued the order in the name of Gui Fei, so that people like Xuan Jizi would not listen.
The four of them sat up straight and waited for Li Chengdao to give the order.
"Yu Shangshu immediately dismissed the military department and ordered Xu Feng of Qingren County to send 500,000 troops to reinforce Linhu City."
Yu Ziming immediately replied: "Yes!"
Li Chengdao continued: "Order Beiling City and Zhongwucheng to strengthen their guard, and at the same time strengthen patrols and defenses around them to prevent the Long Family Army from crossing the defense line!"
Yu Ziming continued to reply: "Yes!"
Li Chengdao said to Yan Xi again: "Commander Yan, immediately classify the soldiers in the city. Keep those who are healthy and can fight, and separate those who have problems. When reinforcements from Qingren County arrive, send them out of the city immediately!"
Yan Xi replied: "Yes!"
Li Chengdao turned to Wu Hongying and said: "Immediately send an order to Taiyuan Hospital, and at the same time order the surrounding counties to send their medicines!"
After the flood, there will be a great epidemic. Li Chengdao knew this very well, so he had to allocate medicines.
Wu Hongying immediately stood up and bowed: "Yes!"
After Li Chengdao finished giving instructions, he got up and returned to his yard.
From beginning to end, Li Chengdao didn't say a word to Xuan Jizi.
Yu Ziming and the others immediately followed the instructions, and Xuanjizi returned to the house angrily.
Worrying about errands is difficult, but worrying about yourself when there is no errands is useless, and you will feel unhappy no matter what.
The messenger received the order and immediately sent orders to various cities.
A horse stepped on the pontoon bridge out of the east gate. The mud outside was very thick. The horse walked for more than a mile, and the mud under his feet became firmer.
The messenger cursed: "That bastard Long Chen has done so much harm to us!"
After scolding, he rode his war horse and galloped towards Beiling City.
Beiling City is more than 100 miles away from Linhu City, and it will take some time for the war horses to arrive.
Plus after the heavy rain , some roads were cut off, making travel more difficult.
By evening, the messenger was still more than 20 miles away from Beiling City.
"You don't know how to walk at night, you're in trouble."
It was dangerous to walk at night when the road was cut off, so the messenger wanted to get there before dark.
After walking a few hundred meters, I saw a horse parked on the side of the road with a person sitting on it.
"Long Chen."
When the messenger saw it, he was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run away.
Several horses rushed out of the woods behind them, blocking the messenger's retreat.
"Why are you running!"
Several horses slowly approached, and the messenger tremblingly shouted: "I am just a messenger, please spare my life, King Wu!"
After saying this, the messenger jumped off his horse, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Long Chen rode over and said with a smile: "Yes, I recognize this king."
"What are you going to do? To deliver a letter?"
The messenger immediately handed over the secret message on his back and said, "I'm just sending a message. I don't know the specific content."
Long Chen took the baggage and opened the secret letter. It was a letter from Yu Ziming, stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War.
Yu Ziming asked Tong Yuan to guard Beiling City, be careful of Long Chen's sneak attack, and at the same time send the medicine in the city to Linhu City.
Long Chen received the secret message and asked: "How is the situation in Linhu City?"
The messenger did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully: "It's very bad. Almost all of them are patients, and few can move."
"I heard that the Holy Son asked Qingren County to urgently increase its troops by 500,000. Once the reinforcements arrive, everyone will evacuate."
Sure enough, Gui Tai planned to replace a group of people, which was exactly what Long Chen expected.
However, how could Long Chen just sit back and watch Guite mobilize reinforcements.
"Want to die?"
Long Chen looked at the messenger with a smile, and the messenger trembled and said: "I don't want to, King Wu, please spare my life!"
