Long Chen's troops arrived at Xianhe City, and the army had already gathered in Linhu City.
This battle is very important and is related to the subsequent battle situation, so Gui Tai plans to personally lead his troops to guard it.
Li Chengdao is the Emperor of Liang, he will definitely go.
The people of Daliang recognized this emperor, and Guitai needed him to rally military morale.
Xuanjizi is a national advisor, so he must accompany the army.
Yu Fuguo is in charge of the Imperial City Division, and he is needed to spy on frontline information, so Yufu Guo also wants to go.
As for the ministers of other ministries, it was purely on a whim that the ghost wanted them to go together.
Ghost fetuses are the offspring of a martial sage and a ghost girl. They have cold constitutions, so they have sinister personalities and behave irrationally.
Guitai gave the order, but no one dared to disobey it and immediately went back to prepare.
Everyone exited the imperial study, and Li Chengdao returned to the East Palace and told Zhong Gui to pack his things.
Zhong Gui asked: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"
Li Chengdao said calmly: "The Holy Son has ordered that Long Chen invades. We all go to Linhu City to defend against the enemy."
When he heard about resisting the invasion of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Zhong Gui immediately packed up his things.
No matter what others think, Zhong Gui always feels that Nanliang is Li Chengdao's kingdom and he must defend Li Chengdao.
Xuanjizi returned to Xuanji Temple, and a fair and slightly fat palace maid came over with a smile.
This girl was just taken into the palace by Xuanjizi, and her name was Chunxiu.
This Chunxiu was very strange. She had married five husbands, and all five husbands died of illness.
Everyone said she was a cheat and wanted to sell her.
Xuanjizi happened to be passing by and saw Chunxiu.
Xuanjizi, a flower picker, could tell at a glance that Chunxiu was a naturally lustful girl and a peerless beauty, so he immediately bought her and brought her into the palace.
One is a flower picker and the other is a naturally promiscuous person. The two of them hit it off like a fish in water.
Chunxiu told Xuanjizi that her five husbands all died of illness because their bodies were drained.
Once a man's kidney energy is exhausted, his physical condition will become very poor, and even a minor illness can kill him.
Xuanjizi said that he had already guessed it, so he didn't mind.
Things in the world are sometimes very strange, and some people seem to be a perfect match.
When Chunxiu found Xuanjizi, it was like finding her true love, and she stayed with Xuanjizi all day long.
Xuanjizi also loves Chunxiu so much that he can't wait to wrap it around his waist.
"Why did the Taoist Master just come back? The slave family has been waiting for two hours. It feels so uncomfortable."
Chunxiu stepped forward and hugged Xuanjizi, putting her hands into her clothes...
Xuanjizi squeezed it hard and said: "Hey, Long Chen is restless and has marched to Xianhe City. The Holy Son ordered us all to join the army to fight."
Hearing that Xuanjizi was leaving, Chunxiu became anxious and said, "When will the Taoist master be able to come back after leaving? How will the slave family survive with an empty bed?"
Xuanjizi also couldn't bear to leave Chunxiu, and said helplessly: "I have no fault in this matter. Who dares to disobey the Holy Son's order?"
Chunxiu and Xuanjizi walked in, hugging each other. The other women in the audience were very jealous.
Ever since Chunxiu arrived at Xuanji Temple, Xuanji had been figured out and all her thoughts were focused on Chunxiu.
"I wonder when the Taoist Master will come back?"
Chunxiu helped Xuanjizi pack things.
Xuan Jizi shook his head and said: "There is no guarantee of success in the battlefield. It may take a year and a half, or it may take three to five years."
Chunxiu's tears fell and she cried: "In three to five years, the slave family has been waiting for a long time."
Xuan Jizi hugged Chunxiu and comforted him: "With the Holy Son here, I don't think Long Chen can resist for long."
"As soon as I defeat Long Chen, I will return. You can wait for my return in the temple."
Things were packed up quickly, and Chunxiu always wanted to follow.
"Taoist Priest, if I pretend to be a soldier, can I follow you?"
Xuanjizi thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. Just put on a sergeant's uniform and pretend to be my follower."
Chunxiu said happily: "In this way, I can stay with the Taoist priest."
Xuanjizi found the sergeant's clothes, and Chunxiu changed into a uniform, just like an ordinary soldier.
After packing up, Xuanjizi took Chunxiu to the west gate.
Yu Fuguo returned to the Imperial City Division and immediately asked Chen Lian to pack his things.
Chen Lian asked where he was going, and Yu Fuguo said that Guitei had ordered the expedition and would leave at night.
Chen Lian immediately asked people to deal with it, and at the same time asked to accompany the army on the expedition.
Yu Fuguo said: "You are injured and are not suitable to go. Call Wang Liang."
Chen Lian was very disappointed. The last time he was tricked by Long Chen, his health was not good. He could only do some things in the yamen and could not go to work.
As a result, his status in Yufu Country was unstable.
Chen Lian was in poor health and had no choice but to find Wang Liang.
Wang Liang came in, and Yu Fuguo asked him to prepare to follow him to the front line, and at the same time bring all the spies that could be used in the department.
Yu Fuguo knew very well that his value lay in gathering information.
When it comes to the front line, intelligence is very important. If Yu Fuguo cannot collect useful information, his value will not exist.
Wang Liang took all the remaining personnel of the Imperial City Department and followed Yu Fuguo to gather at the west gate.
When the ministers of various ministries returned home, they immediately asked their families to prepare things.
Soon, everyone gathered at the west gate.
Li Chengdao was at the front, and Zhong Gui accompanied several palace maids and eunuchs.
Xuanjizi's formation was also very large. In addition to the sergeants, there was also a handsome man accompanying him. This man was Bu Zining, Xuanjizi's apprentice.
Yufu State brought Wang Liang and dozens of spies from the Imperial City Division.
The various ministers gathered slowly, but Li Chengdao remained expressionless, standing at the front waiting for the ghost.
After a while, Gui Fei's carriage arrived, accompanied by Long Ye on horseback and four followers guarding it from the front and back.
Also arriving at the same time were the commanders of the Forbidden Army, Yan Xi and Wu Hongying, who set off with 80,000 Forbidden Army troops.
There is a bright moon in the sky, and you can barely see the road clearly.
"Set off!"
In the carriage, Guitai said coldly.
The entourage opened the way, with Gui Ti's carriage at the front, followed by Li Chengdao, followed by the others, heading towards Linhu City in a mighty manner.
...
Xianhe City.
In the morning, Long Chen stretched himself out, ate a few slices of dried meat, put on black gauze clothes and a bamboo hat.
The sun in spring is a bit strong, so you must cover your body.
When they arrived outside, Wu Jian was already waiting.
"Let's go!"
Long Chen mounted his horse and led Wu Jian and five cavalrymen out of the city.
Xianhe City is still dozens of miles away from Linhu City. Now it is not actually a confrontation between the two armies. It can only be said that both sides are gathering troops.
Walking on the road, looking at the surrounding scenery, Wu Jian sighed: "I remember the last time I walked this road was ten years ago. At that time, the major general rode too fast and almost rushed into the woods."
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's not that my equestrian skills are not good, but that a fox suddenly jumped out on the road and the horse was frightened."
Talking about the past events, Long Chen quickly arrived outside Linhu City.
To the southwest is a large lake with a radius of hundreds of miles. The city is close to the lake and many fortifications have been built around it.
Long Chen climbed up a hillside, took out his binoculars, and looked around the city.
Flags were fluttering on the city wall. In addition to Daliang's flag, there was also guard Xue Ze's handsome flag fluttering in the wind.
Armored soldiers were patrolling the city, and crossbows were set up on the city wall.
Especially around Linhu City, a moat with a width of 100 meters was dug, and the lake water was introduced into it, making it impossible for foreign enemies to cross.www.81zw.????m
"This Xue Ze is good. The defenses are well done."
Long Chen had to praise Xue Ze's defense.
Wu Jian said: "Back then, Li Chengdao opened the Hero Platform and recruited many generals. In the end, it was the three of them who became generals."
"Tong Yuan is good at attacking cities, Xue Ze is good at defense, and Liu Feibai has many tricks. Each of the three has its own characteristics."
Wu Jian carefully analyzed these three people.
There is a 100-meter-wide moat with 400,000 troops inside. It is almost impossible to capture such a city.
"It's difficult to handle..."
Long Chen frowned.
On Linhu City, a soldier looked towards the hillside where Long Chen was, and found someone peeking into the city, and immediately reported it to Xue Ze.
