Li Chengdao asked Qiu Kuohai if now was a good time to attack.
Qiu Kuohai replied: "This matter is so important that I will not dare to speak lightly."
In fact, now is not the best time. The best time is when Long Chen goes to Holy Snow Peak alone. Unfortunately, Li Chengdao missed it.
Now that the Empress and Long Chen have arrived at Diaoyu City, if they send troops to attack, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Li Chengdao smiled and did not express his attitude.
In fact, Li Chengdao also knew that the best opportunity had been missed.
When Long Chen was away from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it was the best time, but it was a pity that Li Chengdao missed it.
At that time, Li Chengdao thought about sending troops to attack, but his cultivation was still at the stage of the Martial Emperor. If he attacked, even if Long Chen was not around, an empress could kill him.
Therefore, he devoted himself to practicing in seclusion.
Until he broke through to the Emperor Realm, Li Chengdao regained his confidence and secretly prepared to take back Linjiang City.
However, fate played a trick on him, and when he broke through the Emperor, Long Chen came back, and there was news that he had surpassed the Emperor.
Li Chengdao was unwilling to give up, why did Long Chen always suppress him?
The best opportunity has been missed, but now is the last chance. If we don't seize it, the situation will only get worse in the future.
When the training of the Long family army is completed, the empress's elite troops from the North Camp are transferred to the south, and hundreds of thousands of troops cross the river and join forces in Linjiang City, I am afraid that Nanliang will be in danger.
"Call Hu Feiyang here, I want to discuss the matter of entering the army!"
Li Chengdao ordered coldly, Qiu Kuohai raised his head, glanced at Li Chengdao, and immediately bowed: "The last general has received the order! The last general has resigned!"
Qiu Kuohai was not sure whether he should ask him to go to Hu Feiyang or Zhong Gui to deliver the order, so he looked up.
After confirming that he was going to deliver the order, Qiu Kuohai immediately retreated.
After the people left, Li Chengdao and Xuan Jizi entered the prepared room.
Fishing City.
Long Chen was sitting in the room playing chess with Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng had to think for a long time every time he made a move.
When a sunspot fell, Zhao Heng immediately shook his head and said: "We lost again."
I had long heard that Long Chen was very good at chess, and Zhao Heng had seen it today.
Long Chen smiled and said: "General Zhao has something on his mind, and the chess game is messed up."
Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "No, my chess skills are just not as good as those of King Wu."
I had long heard that Long Chen was good at chess, so Zhao Heng knew it.
He lost every game, but the loss was not ugly. It was obviously Long Chen who gave him face.
Long Chen smiled, collected the chess pieces, and said: "It's almost done, the Holy One should be up."
One night passed, and it was already Chen time.
Zhao Heng stood up and said: "Please also ask King Wu to introduce you."
Although he represents Gongsun Ming, Zhao Heng's rank is too low, and it would be better for Long Chen to help lead the way.
Long Chen smiled and said: "I also want to say hello, let's go together."
Zhao Heng was overjoyed and followed Long Chen outside.
As soon as he arrived outside, He Juntao came over in a hurry.
Long Chen planned to go to Linjiang City to train navy, and He Juntao arrived first, so when Long Chen went out, Su Yourong prepared the horses.
"grown ups."
He Juntao's tone was urgent. He should have something important to say, but Zhao Heng was present and He Juntao did not speak.
Zhao Heng understood immediately and said, "General, I will wait outside."
After saying that, Zhao Heng left the yard.
He Juntao immediately said: "Li Chengdao arrived at Wushun City yesterday, and he was accompanied by Xuan Jizi and Wu Hongying, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army."
Li Chengdao had spies in Linjiang City, and people from Xichang also infiltrated into Wushun City.
Both of them knew the information. When Long Chen arrived in Linjiang City, Li Chengdao knew about it; when Li Chengdao entered Wushun City, Long Chen also knew about it.
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "I had expected it to come, captured the Monkey Maze Pass, and occupied the upper reaches. This is a perfect opportunity."
"How many soldiers and horses did Li Chengdao bring here?"
He Juntao said: "There are no troops, but the elites of Nanliang are all on the northern front. They can assemble troops randomly."
All the elite soldiers and horses of Nanliang were in the north to fight against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and only tens of thousands were sent to Zhennan City to deal with Ji Xianxian.
If Li Chengdao wants to attack, he can quickly gather his troops.
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "I understand, you continue to keep an eye on Li Chengdao, I will go and interview the saint."
He Juntao went out immediately, Long Chen left the yard, and Zhao Heng was waiting outside.
"Let's go."
Long Chen smiled and took Zhao Heng to the empress' palace.
The empress has already gotten up and is sitting in the front hall looking at the map.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen walked in and saluted first.
The empress turned around and saw Zhao Heng standing behind her. Zhao Heng immediately bowed and said: "The last general, Zhao Heng, pays homage to His Majesty."
Zhao Heng is Gongsun Yun's general. The empress smiled and said: "General Zhao is exempt from courtesy."
Zhao Heng bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The empress motioned Zhao Heng to sit down, and Zhao Heng quickly bowed: "I will not dare, the general."
Long Chen smiled and said: "The Holy One will give you a seat, so you can sit down."
Zhao Heng then sat half-assed on the chair, facing the empress to thank him.
The empress asked: "How is Linjiang City? Is General Gongsun okay?"
Zhao Heng immediately replied: "Everything is fine. The young master originally wanted to face the Holy River, but was worried about a sneak attack from Nanliang, so he sent his generals to come and say hello."
The empress nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I'm determined."
When Zhao Heng crossed the river this time, in addition to greeting Gongsun Ming, he also wanted to ask about the purpose of his trip.
But when he and Long Chen were playing chess just now, Zhao Heng had already asked about it and knew that the empress' original purpose of this trip was to train the navy, which happened to happen when the Monkey Pass was lost.
Therefore, after greeting him, Zhao Heng did not continue talking.
Long Chen said: "Just now a spy from the West Factory came to report that Li Chengdao is already in Wushun City."
Zhao Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately worried about the safety of Linjiang City and Gongsun Ming.
The empress nodded slightly and was not in a hurry. Li Chengdao now only had the cultivation level of Emperor Zun. If he faced a fighting general, Long Chen could easily kill him.
Not to mention Long Chen, even if the empress takes action now, she can kill Li Chengdao.
"You didn't bring any troops?"
The empress asked the same question, and Long Chen replied: "No, I just brought a mystery. The minister thought that Li Chengdao might gather troops from the north, and then ordered Cheng Li Navy to cut off the river and besiege Linjiang City and Caishi City."
Back then, Long Chen made a big fuss in Jinling City. The navy commander Yu Liang was bitten by a venomous snake and became disabled. All the navy in Nanliang came under the control of Cheng Li.
Yu Liang has average abilities and relies on nepotism.
Cheng Li is different. This man is capable. According to the current posture, he has the ability to cut off the river and block the Eastern Zhou infantry from the north.
When Long Chen said this, Zhao Heng became even more anxious, waiting for the empress to speak.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "What do you think?"
What was the Empress thinking about last night?
The navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not strong. In recent years, its main energy was on dealing with the barbarians and Xixia, so the focus was on training cavalry.
The defenders of Houmi Pass were the elite navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Cheng Li made a sneak attack and all the elite navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty were lost.
The navy in Linjiang City has not yet been trained, and Gongsun Ming does not understand naval training, so the soldiers he trained are not very good.
Therefore, the empress was very worried and could not think of a way.
