Continuously running away on horseback, Zhuo Lie ran out of energy and could only lie down on the ground and said: "I took advantage of their lax guarding, killed the guards, and escaped with a horse."
The wise man Abuji asked: "Who else comes back alive except you?"
It seems that Yeluhong does not trust Zhuo Lie.
Zhuo Lie said: "There are six more. We escaped a lot, but many people were shot to death."
Yeluhong motioned to the guards to check.
After a while, the guard came in and replied: "Chanyu, he is not a member of the Supu tribe."
After confirming that the person who came back with him was not Supu, Yeluhong said: "You did a good job, sit down."
The guard brought water and mare's milk cake to Zhuo Lie, and Zhuo Lie devoured them all. ??
"What happened at Yanmen Pass? Is Jing Tianlie and Long Chengen together?"
Yeluhong wanted to know if he had been tricked.
Zhuo Lie replied: "No, Jing Tianlie and Long Chengen are not the same group. Jing Tianlie was besieged, the Red Flame Army was wiped out, and Jing Tianlie is also dead."
"The current Eastern Zhou army has suffered heavy casualties. I heard that 40,000 people died, and now there are only 30,000 troops left."
Yeluhong was shocked. Jingtianlie was besieged? What on earth was going on?
"Didn't Jing Tianlie go to intercept Long Chengen? How could he be besieged instead?"
asked the wise Abuji.
Zhuo Lie shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. I only heard about the battle between Long Chengen and Jing Tianlie at Yanmen Pass, but I don't know about the rest."
Yeluhong nodded and said, "We won't know until the spies come back."
After so many years of confrontation with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Yeluhong had learned well and understood the importance of intelligence.
Another point is that their spies are from Xixia and are better at asking questions than the barbarians.
"You go back and rest."
Yeluhong ordered Zhuolie to return to his Supu tribe.
"Wise man, what do you think?"
Yeluhong asked Abu Ji.
"The possibility of Jing Tianlie colluding with Long Chengen is indeed relatively small. If the Red Flame Army really fights to the death, Yanmen Pass will definitely be injured. The death was heavy."
"The question now is, how many troops and horses are there in Yanmen Pass? The last news we got was that Long Chengen only brought 20,000 troops, but in the end, another 30,000 troops came to Jade Buddha Pass. This matter must be clarified, and we cannot suffer this loss again.
.”
The general of the Dan tribe, Ke'ele, was not very happy and said: "Chanyu, we suffered a loss last time because of Long Chengen's sneak attack at night. If we fight head-on, we will definitely win."
"No matter how many troops he has, can he have more troops than our wolf clan?"
The barbarians do not consider themselves a barbarian tribe, they call themselves the wolf tribe.
"No, you can't be careless. Long Chengen is a very powerful person. Everyone who fights with him will suffer."
"We did suffer from a sneak attack last time, but I have to say that Long Chengen is very powerful."
"The strangest thing is that he seems to hate me very much. Why?"
Long Chen's appearance had changed, his name had also changed, and Yeluhong couldn't recognize him.
Prince Yeluguang said: "Father, when the two armies are fighting, it is normal to hate each other. You are thinking too much."
Yeluhong shook his head and said, "No, he said we haven't seen him in a long time! When did I see him?"
This sentence confused Yeluhong.
The wise man Abuji asked: "Have you encountered him in previous battles? Maybe Long Chengen was just an unknown soldier at that time."
Yeluhong didn't know either. He shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
Prince Yeluguang said: "Don't pay attention to that eunuch. When the soldiers and horses of the wise kings arrive, we will gather all the soldiers and horses in the grassland, enough to break Yanmen Pass."
Yeluhong also held his breath in his heart. Long Chen only used 30,000 troops and horses at that time, plus the 30,000 remaining troops in the pass, but he actually defeated his more than 200,000 cavalry. This was a great shame and humiliation.
Ever since he took the position of Shanyu, he has never suffered such a loss.
"Yes, we will set off once the troops are assembled!"
Yeluhong said bitterly.
Yanmen Pass.
Long Chen returned to his room from outside the city. He had just seen the layout outside the city.
In any case, this time we are attacking more with less. We must use fortifications to consume the barbarians and then counterattack.
After taking off his coat, Long Chen just lay down when Emperor Lingyi came in.
"your Highness."
Long Chen got up immediately.
Di Lingyi was wearing black pajamas and a black jacket. When he saw Long Chen lying on the bed, he was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "You are here, I thought you were not here."
Long Chen chuckled and said: "I just came back, princess, this is..." ??
Di Lingyi opened the closet in the room, took out a black bellyband, pajamas and pants, and said: "Let me get some clothes, you can continue to sleep."
Taking her personal clothes, Di Lingyi left the room and closed the door behind her back.
Long Chen watched Di Lingyi go out and laughed in his heart: Playing seduction with me is too young.
Long Chen stood up and opened the closet next to him. Inside was Di Lingyi's underwear, including breastplates, bellybands, pajamas, and embroidered socks.
Almost all are black, some are purple, and it seems she prefers these two.
Picking up a piece of bellyband, Long Chen smelled it and found it smelled fragrant.
"It seems that the third princess is determined."
Long Chen lay on the bed, covering himself with a quilt with the body scent of the third princess, and slept with a smile on his face.
Capital.
A horse quickly entered the palace, and the battle report was sent to Fengming Palace.
Yingfeng entered the royal study and presented the battle report: "Your Majesty, Long Chengen's battle report has arrived."
The empress immediately took it, opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Long Cheng'en lived up to my expectations and killed Jing Tianlie at Yanmen Pass. The coffin is already on the way."
"This kid is quite capable, and he actually disintegrated the Red Flame Army."
The empress admired Long Chen's methods and defeated the Red Flame Army with almost zero casualties.

"Post the battle report in the market and tell the ministers of the DPRK and China that Long Chengen was victorious in the first battle and Jingtian was killed in a fierce attack."
"I'll pass on the decree to the states and counties. After the Red Flame Army returns home, they can forget about it and allocate fields to them for farming without any difficulties."
Yingfeng took the order and went out.
After the battle report was posted in the market, the ministers and people of the DPRK and China seemed a little indifferent and did not celebrate each other.
Everyone is used to Long Chen winning battles, so it doesn't feel like anything strange.
If Long Chen is defeated one day, everyone will start talking about it.
Yanmen Pass.
Long Chen got up, washed up, and practiced in the yard with an iron gun.
The iron spear in his hand is like a silver snake spitting out messages, and his marksmanship is very tricky.
"How come I haven't seen your marksmanship before?"
Di Lingyi suddenly appeared next to him.
Long Chen stopped and said: "Your Highness, this is the Tyrant Dragon Spear Technique, which is mixed with some other secrets, so it looks a bit different."
Di Lingyi shook his head and said: "No, it always looks familiar, like... the Long family gun?"
Long Chen felt alarmed and immediately said: "How is it possible? Does the Cangwu Pavilion still have the secret book of the Long family's gun?"
In the past few years, Long Chen slowly remembered some of the original marksmanship, which was the Long family's unique horse lance technique, a marksmanship suitable for fighting on horseback, but he didn't remember them all.
Long Chen merged the Long Family Spear and the Tyrant Spear to create the current spear technique.
Emperor Lingyi shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. I rarely go to the Cangwu Pavilion. My marksmanship was taught by my mother."
Long Chen said with envy: "The emperor personally guided her, so the princess's marksmanship must be extraordinary."
Emperor Lingyi smiled and said: "What's extraordinary? I can't even catch Jing Tianlie's moves. You kill him. Such flattery is too fake."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Princess, are you interested in having a discussion?"
Emperor Lingyi immediately said: "Yes!"
After saying that, Di Lingyi went back to his room, took a spear, and charged at Long Chen.
