Zhong Gui entered the courtyard where Li Chengdao was, closed the door, and said: "Your Majesty, Guitai sent reinforcements, but they were intercepted and killed by Long Chen on the way. Three died and two came back."
After finding out the news clearly, Zhong Gui immediately came over to report it.
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and said: "It is probably Yu Fuguo who is causing trouble. This guy has taken refuge in Long Chen and must have brought information with him."
Li Chengdao immediately figured out the reason.
Zhong Gui said: "I heard that even the Ghost Pulse Jue was brought there."
Speaking of the Ghost Pulse Technique, Li Chengdao smiled and said: "Gui Fei suffered a big loss this time. The Yufu Kingdom is capricious. Gui Fei relies on Gui Fei to gain power. Long Chen relies on Long Chen to gain power. He is a man who can act according to the wind."
"Both Guitai and I have been harmed by him. I wonder what kind of ability Long Chen has that can subdue this guy."
Li Chengdao was happy that Yufu Country had taken refuge with Long Chen.
Anyway, this Yu Fuguo is not his, so let Gui Fei taste the taste of betrayal.
Moreover, Yu Fu Guo was a capricious person, and Li Chengdao hoped that Yu Fu Guo would betray Long Chen one day.
If Yufuguo is caught, Li Chengdao is almost certain that Yufuguo will betray him.
This old eunuch has no loyalty at all.
Zhong Gui said: "I heard that there is another problem with military rations. The Ministry of Household Affairs no longer has food."
Li Chengdao smiled and said: "Two million troops cannot be supported by the beams."
"Long Chen is deliberately delaying this because he wants us to run out of food."
Zhong Gui said: "Can't you see the ghost fetus?"
Li Chengdao sneered: "I can see it, so what?"
"Is it possible that he can conjure food? Is he really a god?"
Zhong Gui said: "It stands to reason that our army has an absolute advantage and can take the initiative to attack, but Guitai has been unable to hold on."
There are 2 million troops in Nanliang. Even if some escaped last time, there are still so many, several times that of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
With such a strength advantage, he should take the initiative to attack, but Guitai chose to defend instead. Zhong Gui was a little confused.
Li Chengdao sarcastically said: "Guitai knows that Daliang's advantage lies in its large number of soldiers, but Daliang's soldiers are all newly recruited."
"The biggest problem is that there are no generals available, especially the middle-level generals who command the troops. When it comes time to fight, Long Chen entangles Gui Fei, and I am facing off against the empress, and my troops have no one to lead them."
"Looking back at the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Long Chen has raised a large number of fierce generals in the past few years. His female generals are still in Diaoyu City. When these people come out, who can beat them on the battlefield?"
"In the final analysis, it was all because of Gui Fei's own cleverness. He built Longxing Valley and used Long Xing Valley as a bait. As a result, Long Chen came and went freely, and Gui Fei lost his troops and generals."
Zhong Gui sighed: "The ghosts are doing whatever they want. If the emperor is allowed to take charge of the overall situation, it will be more than that."
Li Chengdao looked calm and said: "If you don't say this is useless, I will continue to practice."
Zhong Gui was guarding outside while Li Chengdao took out the Secret of Immortality and practiced it.
Li Chengdao has already obtained the longevity secret given by Long Chen, but he still needs a Long family's mental method.
What Li Chengdao wanted most was the Long family's mental method. He wanted to compare the difference between the method Long Chen practiced and what he found.
But it didn't work out. Zhong Gui has been busy with this matter recently.
Xianhe City.
Yu Fuguo and Lu Ji entered Long Chen's room.
"sit down."
Long Chen asked the two of them to sit down, and they thanked him.
"I have a very important errand for you, and only you can do it."
Yu Fuguo and Lu Ji asked, "What's the errand? King Wu, please give me your instructions."
Long Chen said: "I want you to go back to Jinling City."
Yu Fuguo and Lu Ji looked at each other and asked: "Jinling City is already empty, there is no use for us to go back."
When the two armies confront each other, this is the frontline position where they can play their greatest role.
Jinling City is just an empty city, there is nothing left, and there is nothing you can do if you go back.
Long Chen chuckled and said: "No, no, no, Jinling City is very important. Listen to me, this is all it takes."
After hearing this, Yu Fuguo and Lu Ji were stunned.
"As expected of King Wu, what a brilliant plan."
Yu Fuguo sincerely praised Long Chen's clever strategy.
No wonder people say that Long Chen is full of tricks, and it is indeed true.
Lu Ji nodded and said, "If this happens, the overall situation will be decided."
Long Chen said: "You must be careful in your actions this time and don't act too hastily. There are people from the West Factory in Jinling City, and they will cooperate with the Imperial City Division's actions."
Yu Fuguo said: "Don't worry, King Wu, we will set off right now."
The two men immediately took their men and disguised themselves, then walked northwest to Linjiang City, and then took a boat to Jinling.
There are too many spies near Xianhe City. If you go directly east, your whereabouts will be easily exposed.
After the people left, Long Chen prepared a horse and headed out of the city to the mines.
The hot and humid wind blew from the southeast, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a rumble of thunder.
The rainy season is coming and time is running out.
Long Chen rode his horse and ran for a whole day before arriving at the mine.
The soldiers and craftsmen were shirtless, and the temperature in the mountains was very high. Long Chen felt very uncomfortable.
Entering the workshop, I found Gongsun Linglong, who was instructing the workers to cast iron ropes.
"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of the heat?"
Gongsun Linglong was covered in sweat and her hair was wet.
"It's so hot, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing Gongsun Linglong's wet clothes, Long Chen felt a little distressed.
Gongsun Linglong was stunned for a moment and said: "You still know that you care about me, and you want to knock me away every time."
Well
Long Chen was a little speechless. He was so good, why did he start driving?
"How's the iron casting going?"
The two of them arrived at the backyard. There was a well here. Long Chen fetched a bucket of water and slowly poured it on Gongsun Linglong.
Gongsun Linglong shook her hair and untied her sweaty dress.
"We have only cast five. The iron rope you want is too thick. If it is not cast well, it will not be able to stop the river."
Gongsun Linglong has not seen Linjiang with her own eyes, but she can imagine that it would be impossible to block such a big lake even if it is too small.
"The rainy season is coming. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year."
Gongsun Linglong picked up the towel, gave it to Long Chen, and said, "Rub it for me."
Long Chen carefully wiped Gongsun Linglong's face.
Gongsun Linglong said: "I know, I have been making progress, don't worry, I will definitely give it to you when the time comes."
"Also, you must prepare several large carriages. It will not be easy to transport these iron ropes there."
The main reason is that the iron rope is so long and heavy that an ordinary carriage cannot pull it.
Long Chen said: "There is a river next to it. The river is deep enough. I will give you a few boats. It will be more convenient than a carriage to go down the river."
Water transportation is definitely more convenient than truck transportation. It turns out that this is how things from mines were transported.
Gongsun Linglong said: "That's okay, I'll just cast it, and you can figure out the rest."
Long Chen fetched another bucket of water and said, "Okay."
After a few buckets of well water went down, Gongsun Linglong felt cool.
"Look at what's in the well."
Long Chen pointed to the bottom of the well and said.
Gongsun Linglong leaned on the edge of the well and looked in, and asked strangely: "What is it?"
Long Chen supported Gongsun Linglong and said with a smile: "Hold on, be careful not to be knocked away."
Gongsun Linglong understood and cursed: "Asshole! You lied to me!"
The clear water surface at the bottom of the well rippled slightly, reflecting Gongsun's exquisite figure.
