"There are three princesses on the east side. The eldest princess, Di Yuwei, assists the empress in handling government affairs. The second princess, Di Xingwan, is in charge of internal affairs. The military power is in the hands of the third princess, Di Lingyi, and the fourth princess, Di Luoxi."
"However, the two princesses only have half of the military power of Dongzhou, and they also have a general's palace."
"It is very difficult for the young general to control the military power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
Wu Jian had been in the Eastern Zhou harem for some time and knew the internal affairs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty very well.
The empress and the four princesses are not mediocre. It would be too difficult to seize military power from them.
"I know it's not easy, but to destroy Nanliang, we can only rely on the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
"This Poetry Competition uses Linjiang City as a bet. Nanliang will not hand it over obediently and will definitely send troops to attack."
"Who is most familiar with Linjiang City?"
Long Chen smiled slightly. ??
Wu Jian laughed in a low voice: "Of course it's the Major General!"
It was the Long family army that conquered Linjiang City and transformed Linjiang City into a fortress against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Regarding Linjiang City, Long Chen is the most familiar person in the world.
"There will definitely be a big battle between Nanliang and Eastern Zhou in Linjiang City. I can take this opportunity to enter the Eastern Zhou military command and slowly take control of the military."
This is Long Chen's plan. As long as he enters the command level of Eastern Zhou, he is confident that he can gradually control Eastern Zhou.
At that time, the empress, four princesses, and three thousand beauties in the harem will be there. Hehe!
"If there is any use for it, Major General, tell me."
"Okay, don't call me Major General in the future, call me Chief Long, so as not to be discovered."
"Okay, Manager Long."
Fengming Palace.
The empress sat at the head, next to the eldest princess Di Yuwei, next to the second princess Di Xingwan, then Di Lingyi and Di Luoxi.
"We won this fight, Luo Xi did a great job."
The empress first praised Di Luoxi, but Di Xingwan was a little unconvinced.
"Mother, my fourth sister found a powerful little eunuch from nowhere, so it's not her fault."
Di Luoxi sneered: "Two Sister, if you win, you win, if you lose, you lose. Anyway, I won."
"Winning is a good thing. Don't worry so much. Now we have to discuss how to take back Linjiang City."
"Although Nanliang uses Linjiang City as a bet, they will never hand over Linjiang City as promised. We must prepare for a fierce battle."
Everyone is well aware of the strategic position of Linjiang City. As long as you occupy Linjiang City, you can control the river, advance, attack, retreat, and defend.
Several battles broke out between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Nanliang City in Linjiang City, with each side having its own victory or defeat.
It was not until General Long Ye personally led the troops and his five sons went into battle together. After a fierce battle, Linjiang City was successfully captured. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty retreated to the north of the river and entered the defensive stage.
Because Nanliang captured Linjiang City, its national power and military power greatly increased, it suppressed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and annexed the small southwest countries of Dali and Yelang, and its national power surged.
Now Nanliang is already the strongest among the Three Kingdoms. It can be imagined how difficult it is to seize a fortress from Nanliang.
"To capture Linjiang City, we must mobilize the strength of the whole country. Now Nanliang is at its strongest."
The fourth princess, Emperor Luo Xi, looked solemn.
The third princess, Di Lingyi, and the fourth princess, Di Luoxi, are both military generals. They have to lead the army to guard the border during war. Di Luoxi is in charge of the south, and Di Lingyi is in charge of the north.
Therefore, the fourth princess, Emperor Luo Xi, is more aware of the difficulty of capturing Linjiang City. It should be said that it is almost impossible.
The empress nodded and said: "Yes, it is very difficult to capture Linjiang City. Fortunately, Emperor Li Chengdao of Nanliang destroyed the Great Wall and killed Long Ye's family. If we go all out, we will have a chance."
The eldest princess, Di Yuwei, said: "Mother, my son and I suggest that we summon General Jing Tianlie back to the capital for discussion."
Although the female emperor was in power in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and there were many female officials in the court, there were also men as officials, especially in the army.
This Jingtianlie was the general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he usually guarded the border.
Speaking of Jingtian Lie, the empress frowned and said: "A few days ago, Jingtian Lie also talked about the marriage of his two sons.
thing."
When the four princesses heard this, they felt very unhappy.
Jing Tianlie has two sons. They want to marry the third princess Di Lingyi and the fourth princess Di Luo Xi and become the consorts of the imperial court.
This thing seems to be just about marrying a princess, but in fact, it shows Jing Tianlie's ambition.
The military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into two halves, one half in the hands of Jing Tianlie, and the other half in the hands of Emperor Lingyi and Di Luoxi.
The son became the prince-in-law, and all the military power of the Zhou Dynasty belonged to the Jing family.
Jing Tianlie, the father-in-law, could go one step further and even become the emperor himself.
Therefore, the empress never promised him, and Jing Tianlie became dissatisfied because of this.
At this juncture, whether Jing Tianlie will contribute to the country is a big question.
"A toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't care what his two sons are like." .??.??
Di Luoxi was the most unhappy, because the son who fell in love with her would have looks but not looks, and talent but not talent.
The son who liked Emperor Lingyi was slightly better. This man was a military commander and guarded Yanmen Pass in the north, but he liked killing people very much. He was too cruel.
Of course the empress knew it very well, and sighed: "I'll write a letter to Jing Tianlie and see what his attitude is."
“We’ll discuss it here today, and we’ll discuss it again when we get a reply to the letter.”
After saying that, the four princesses left the Feng Wu Palace.
The fourth princess, Emperor Luo Xi, returned to the West Palace and found that the two maids Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were not in the palace.
"Where are the two of them?"
"Report to the princess, the two of them are in Manager Long's room."
"Didn't Xiao Longzi go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why are you still here?"
"Manager Long said he still liked the West Palace better, so he didn't go there and stayed in the side courtyard of the West Palace."
"Oh? Take this princess to have a look."
Di Luoxi was very happy. She thought Long Chen would leave immediately, but she didn't expect that he would stay in the West Palace.
Di Luoxi followed the maid into the side courtyard and heard a commotion inside. Di Luoxi went in and saw Long Chen teaching the two of them how to write poems. "Master Long, are you busy?"
Di Luoxi entered the room wearing a white cloak.
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue met immediately.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Long Chen bowed politely.
The princess in front of him was truly beautiful and fragrant, and Long Chen really lusted after her body.
Di Luoxi sat at the desk, picked up the manuscript on the desk, and said with a smile: "You are the best scribe in the world now, so you don't need to be polite in the future."
"The plum blossoms and snow are fighting for the spring but they are not willing to fall, so Sao Renge spends a lot of money to comment on it; the plum blossoms are three points whiter than the snow, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum blossoms."
"What a poem. Long Da scribe deserves to be from a scholarly family, and he has written another unparalleled poem."
Di Luoxi folded the poem and put it away.
"It's just written by hand."
Long Chen was modest.
"Anyone who writes casually has this level of skill. A great scribe is a great scribe."
Di Luoxi leaned on the desk, looked at Long Chen with strange eyes, and asked: "You are so talented, why did you join the palace as a eunuch?"
Long Chen suddenly looked sad and lamented: "I wandered to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, was knocked unconscious by a group of bullies, and was sold into a clean room for six taels of silver. The most unfilial thing on my part is to have no descendants. I feel sorry for my parents and ancestors."
Qingyue said angrily: "It's so unreasonable to be so lawless that you became a eunuch. Your Highness, we will arrest and behead those bullies!"
Di Luoxi turned sideways and looked at Long Chen with a smile, and said with a smile: "No, I want to reward those bullies heavily. If they don't send Xiao Longzi in, where can I find a great scribe?"
Long Chen complained in his heart: What a logic genius!
"Actually, what I'm best at is not poetry, I'm best at the art of war."
Long Chen turned the topic to the military.
"Oh? You also know the art of war?"
Di Luoxi was thinking about how to capture Linjiang City. When Long Chen talked about the art of war, she immediately became interested.
Long Chen can defeat the great scribe Yu Shinan. If he is the best at war, wouldn't he be invincible?
