Yu Ziming thought it was nothing, but Guitai was very disappointed with this battle.
His original intention was to do the opposite and make Long Chen's plan fail. At the same time, he surrounded him with a million troops and tried to kill Long Chen.
But Long Chen was like a slippery loach, able to swim freely among an army of millions.
According to Gui Tai's prediction, 500,000 reinforcements and his hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded him.
The actual situation was too different. The reinforcements were defeated by Long Chen and then wandered south. The ghost thought about chasing them, but was afraid that the empress would come from behind, so he gave up.
"You are all the generals and ministers of Daliang. You are being teased by Long Chen. What use do you have!"
Guite sneered sharply, and everyone below lay on the ground and did not dare to speak.
"Linhu City is lost, Qingren County should guard it."
"Dog slave, this is your place of Longxing, I don't need to say more."
Qingren County used to be the fiefdom of Li Chengdao, and his previous title was King Qingren.
This mansion was built by Li Chengdao when he was the prince, and there are four words "Prince Qingren's Palace" on the door.
That's why Guite said this.
Li Chengdao kowtowed and replied: "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Holy Son."
Guitai smiled coldly and said, "Back off!"
Everyone got up and bowed: "I'm sorry, please leave."
The group retreated and went outside. Li Chengdao summoned Yu Ziming, Xu Feng, Yan Xi, and Wu Hongying to discuss matters next door.
Feng Erniang followed Gui Fei, Xuan Jizi didn't want to bring trouble to herself.
After sitting down, Li Chengdao ordered: "General Xu and Commander Yan are responsible for settling the soldiers coming from Linhu City. Many are already sick and medical treatment must be prepared immediately."
Yan Xi immediately said: "I have the order."
Xu Feng said: "The general has prepared medicine, and the doctors in the city have begun to distribute decoctions."
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and continued: "The defenses outside the city continue to be strengthened, and there must be a battle here."
Xu Feng bowed and said: "The last general takes orders."
Li Chengdao stood up and said, "Let's disperse."
Everyone dispersed, Xu Feng and Yan Xi went down to make arrangements, and Li Chengdao left the palace.
Zhong Gui was waiting for Li Chengdao at the door and said, "Your Majesty, the place is ready."
Zhong Gui led the way, and Li Chengdao settled in a private house not far away.
This private residence was also left behind by Li Chengdao when he was the prince.
The wall of the private residence is very high, and the secret passage inside leads directly to the palace. He once plotted rebellion here.
After going around in a big circle, I came back here again.
Looking at the things from back then, Li Chengdao felt quite sad.
"I planned it here back then and finally accomplished something big. I didn't expect it to come back again."
Zhong Gui consoled him: "Your Majesty's heroic talents will surely achieve great things again, and this time the achievements will be even greater."
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and said: "Able to bend and stretch, capable of honor and humiliation, a real man takes a long-term view in life."
After speaking, Li Chengdao sat down cross-legged to practice.
Zhongwucheng.
When the news that Linhu City was captured reached the city, the defender Liu Feibai urgently summoned the generals for discussion.
Liu Feibai was thin, with very thin eyes and a gloomy face, sitting at the head of the group, while the generals below were talking about him.
These generals under my command did not take long to be promoted.
Like others, Liu Feibai's generals were also taken away and died in Longxing Valley.
Those who were lucky enough to survive were all of average cultivation.
"Long Chen and the Empress have attacked Linhu City. Even if the Holy Son and the Emperor are not opponents, how can we resist?"
"I heard that General Tong Yuan was killed by Long Chen as soon as he met him. Who among us can stop him?"
"Our Zhongwu City originally relied on Linhu City as a barrier. Now that the barrier has been lost, it is difficult to hold on."
All the generals below have the intention to retreat, and no one dares to say that they will stick to it.
Long Chen was so powerful, Tong Yuan was killed, Xue Ze was killed, even Gui Fei and Li Chengdao couldn't stop him, none of them dared to hold on.
Liu Feibai remained silent. He also wanted to retreat, but Li Chengdao did not give an order, so he did not dare to leave.
"What do you think, General Liu?"
Lieutenant General Li Wenquan looked at Liu Feibai, who had been silent.
All the generals also looked at Liu Feibai, waiting for him to make a decision.
He is the commander-in-chief, and he has the final say whether to fight or retreat.
Liu Feibai was silent for a moment and said: "I have no control over this matter. I have to ask the Holy Son for orders. I will send a message to Qingren County."
After saying that, Liu Feibai got up and went back to his room.
He took out his pen and ink, wrote a report, and immediately sent a letter back to Qingren County.
Linhu City.
Long Chen stood by the lake, and there was a large fishing boat floating on the lake.
"Old man, you have made a great contribution this time, and I will give you a ship as a gift."
"The house in the city is also given to you, and the five thousand taels of silver are also kept at home."
The old fisherman held the pipe of dry tobacco in his mouth, his face beaming with joy.
The idea of flooding Linhu City this time was proposed by an old fisherman, and Long Chen gave him a fishing boat and a house in return.
The old fisherman felt as if he was in a dream and said with a smile: "Thank you King Wu, thank you King Wu. The old man thought he could only die on that broken ship in this life, but he didn't expect that he could enjoy a few days of happiness before he died."
Han Ziping smiled and said: "Old man, if I say I will thank you, I will definitely thank you. I won't lie to you."
The old fisherman smiled happily and said: "That's right. How could King Wu lie to ordinary people like us?"
The fishing boat can be used as his own property, and the house is enough to support him in his old age. Long Chen's gift is enough for him.
Actually, Long Chen wanted to give more, but giving too much may not be good.
In any case, the old fisherman is old and may not be able to keep too much money.
"Okay, if you need anything, you can come to me."
Long Chen smiled and took the people back to the city. The old fisherman immediately got on the boat.
There were also a few guys on the boat. These people were dissatisfied with the old fisherman, but they knew that he was related to Long Chen, so they all behaved very obediently.
The fishing boat sailed out of the pier and went to the middle of the lake to fish.
Back in the city, Gongsun Linglong walked over to him, grabbed Long Chen, and said: "Damn eunuch, come to my house and treat you to a meal."
Long Chen felt that there was no such good thing and asked: "What do you want to do?"
