Jin Luo commanded the ship to transport the Long family army to Linjiang City. It took many days to transport the 200,000 troops.
The Thunderfire Legion's artillery is very heavy and takes more time.
When the army was transported to the south, the bacteria from Diaoyu City were brought back.
Long Chen carefully sprinkled the fungus on the sawdust and waited for the mushrooms to grow.
Wu Chuchu and Dugu Jiali's bodies were slowly recovering. Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting were injured. Long Chen also fed them blood, and their injuries recovered quickly.
Standing at the north gate of Linjiang City, watching the ships transporting soldiers and horses across the river, Wu Jian said: "Young General, when the meat and vegetables are grown, I will eat them too. I am a eunuch anyway."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Actually, I don't want you to become like me."
Wu Jian said: "I know, but when the matter has reached this point, the general cannot carry it alone."
On the city wall, a little Taoist boy wearing thick clothes curiously watched the building boat crossing the river.
It was the first time he saw so many soldiers.
"King Wu, are you going to fight?"
The little Taoist boy raised his head and asked Long Chen.
Wu Jian picked up the little Taoist boy and said, "Yes, there is going to be a war. Are you afraid?"
The little Taoist curled his lips and said, "I don't want to fight, so what am I afraid of?"
Wu Jian smiled and said: "If we win, you can go back to Lihuo Island. If we lose, you will also be eaten."
The little Taoist boy got down from Wu Jian's arms and said, "Don't scare me, I'm not scared."
It was too cold outside, so the little Taoist boy went back to his room to warm himself by the fire.
"Major General, the princess and the others want to practice. Should our plan continue?"
According to the original plan, after the Long family army arrived, they began to march and capture Wushun City and Xianhe City.
Then they gathered their troops in Xianhe City and marched towards Linhu City.
Long Chen said: "The plan continues. There are large rice fields around Wushun City and Xianhe City. Spring plowing will begin immediately after the occupation to ensure that we have enough rice to use as military rations during the summer grain harvest."
After the defeat of Qiu Kuohai and Hu Feiyang, the armies of the two cities dispersed, and only some civilian officials defended the city. It was not difficult to capture them.
Long Chen hasn't taken action because he doesn't have enough troops and doesn't want to be scattered.
Now the Long family army has assembled and can begin to attack.
Wu Jian said: "Then I will prepare."
Wu Jian went down to the city to prepare for the attack.
Long Chen returned to the room, and He Juntao came in and said: "We found out that Shen Wanjin has not returned to Jinling, and the ghost fetus is being searched by Yu Fuguo."
"In addition, the Imperial City Division also planned to attack the Long family army at that time. When they heard that your Excellency was in the army, they ran away."
Long Chen was secretly alarmed: The Imperial City Division also planned a sneak attack, but fortunately they were scared away.
Sure enough, Di Luoxi and the others must improve their cultivation, otherwise something could easily happen.
"The mission failed, Shen Wanjin doesn't dare to go back and see the ghost fetus."
"It's a pity, I'm afraid Shen Wanjin will never be found again."
Long Chen wished he could tear Shen Wanjin into pieces.
But Long Chen also understood that if Shen Wanjin wanted to abscond, no one would be able to find him.
The majestic king of assassins, if he can't kill, he can definitely escape.
"What's going on at the Nanliang War Department?"
He Juntao replied: "We are deploying troops. Tong Yuan, Xue Ze and Liu Feibai are respectively guarding Beiling City, Linhu City and Zhongwu City, each with 200,000 troops."
Long Chen roughly estimated the strength comparison and said: "Continue to inquire and report any situation immediately."
He Juntao took the order and went out.
...
Jinling, Ministry of War.
Yu Ziming, the Minister of War, was sitting in the room, looking at the map on the wall and having a headache.
"Shilang Sun, what do you think?"
Yu Ziming asked Sun Yu, the Minister of War.
Sun Yu looked troubled and said, "Sir, who can guess Long Chen's intentions?"
Yu Ziming looked at Yunqicheng on the map and felt irritable.
Yunqicheng is located on the upper reaches of the river, facing Houmi Pass, and has garrisoned 30,000 elite navy troops.
After Wushun City and Xianhe City were abandoned, Yunqi City was isolated. The soldiers in the city requested to withdraw their troops. Yu Ziming felt that Yunqi City's status was important and did not agree to the request to withdraw troops.
Now Yunqicheng came to report that soldiers and horses from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had appeared around, intending to besiege.
Jiang Quan, the guard general, asked the imperial court to send reinforcements or ask them to withdraw their troops.
Yu Ziming was undecided, not knowing how to respond to Jiang Quan's request.
Therefore, Yu Ziming asked the minister Sun Yu what he meant.
Sun Yu didn't know Long Chen's intention and couldn't answer how to act.
Yu Ziming slapped the table and sighed: "What a mess!"
After Guite took control of Jinling City, Li Chengdao retreated to the East Palace to practice, and the affairs of the court were initially handled by Guite himself.
Later, the ghost got tired of it and left the government affairs to Xuan Jizi.
Xuanjizi was a lustful person by nature, and his thoughts were on the concubines and daughters in the harem, and he had no time for government affairs.
Moreover, Xuan Jizi was fine with making suggestions, but it would be a mess if he was asked to handle government affairs.
Nanliang is now in chaos.
"In this situation, there is no reason why the country should not be subjugated."
Yu Ziming let out a long sigh.
Sun Yu was startled and hurriedly advised: "Sir, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"
Yu Ziming had no choice but to collect the map, get up and enter the palace to go to Xuanji Temple.
When we arrived at Xuanji Temple, we saw many beautiful women wearing luxurious clothes flying kites in the yard.
Xuanjizi sat on a chair, watching the woman running and laughing.
"Master Shangshu, come here and take a look at the paper kites they put out."
Seeing Yu Ziming walking over, Xuanjizi smiled and pointed at a palace maid with big breasts.
The palace maid ran to death, her skirt trembling and trembling, it was very enjoyable to watch.
Yu Ziming didn't have Xuan Jizi's lustful thoughts and said: "National Master, Long Chen is gathering troops in Linjiang City. Linhu City is in danger. You still have the leisure to watch the kites flying."
Xuanjizi said with a smile: "Master Shangshu's statement is ridiculous. It is the style of a general to remain calm in times of crisis."
"I know that Long Chen is gathering troops. There are 200,000 Long family troops, plus 100,000 Linjiang City defenders, and 80,000 Caishi City troops, for a total of 380,000." www.八一zw.????m
"There are also 100,000 soldiers of the empress, who are also on their way."
Yu Ziming frowned and said: "The Imperial Master knows so well, why don't you prepare a strategy to deal with the enemy?"
I thought Xuanjizi didn't know the situation.
It now seems that Xuanjizi is well aware of the crisis ahead.
Xuanjizi smiled and said: "Don't worry, with the Holy Son here, Long Chen can't make big waves."
"What the Holy Son wants is to have a decisive battle in Linhu City and wipe out the Long Family Army in one fell swoop!"
"Tong Yuan and his three men have already led troops to guard. The three surrounding cities are horns with each other. There is no need to panic, Shangshu."
When he heard about the ghost fetus, Yu Ziming didn't dare to say anything.
"In addition, Yunqicheng sent an urgent report, asking for reinforcements or permission to withdraw troops. What do the national advisors think?"
Yu Ziming told the story about Yunqicheng and let Xuanjizi make the decision.
Xuanjizi smiled and said: "Silly, although Yunqi City is small, it is strong!"
"By guarding Yunqi City, Jiang Quan can contain Long Chen's troops and give Long Chen nothing to worry about."
"Let Jiang Quan guard and don't leave without permission!"
Xuanjizi's idea was to contain Long Chen and place a chess piece behind him.
Yu Ziming said worriedly: "What if Long Chen takes action himself? When Cheng Li was guarding Houmi Pass, he died at the hands of Long Chen."
Houmiguan is very similar to Yunqicheng. They are both small cities, but very strong.
According to common sense, such a city can indeed be defended.
But if you encounter a master like Long Chen who breaks into the city and kills the general, Yunqi City will not be able to defend it at all.
Xuanjizi knew in his heart that this problem could not be solved, but he insisted on his opinion and said: "Impossible, Long Chen's attention is on Linhu City, it is impossible to attack Yunqi City by being distracted!"
