The secret letter from the ghost fetus came into Xu Feng's hands, and Xu Feng immediately reported it to Li Chengdao.
After Li Chengdao finished reading, he nodded and said: "This plan is feasible. Xianhe City is empty. If I attack with the black armored army and the ghost fetuses hold Long Chen and the Empress in Linhu City, Xianhe City will be destroyed."
Li Chengdao felt that Guite's strategy was feasible.
"In this case, the general will send troops immediately."
Li Chengdao agreed, and Xu Feng decided to immediately send troops to attack Xianhe City.
"Bring Xuanjizi with you, I will go with you."
Li Chengdao added, Xu Feng nodded and said: "I will order the general in the name of Gui Fei, and I am not afraid that this guy will disobey."
Li Chengdao nodded slightly, and Xu Feng immediately asked the black armored army to assemble.
Xuanjizi was drinking tea with Chunxiu in the attic at this time. A soldier shouted from downstairs: "Taoist Master, General Xu invites you to come to the general's mansion to discuss matters."
Xuanjizi felt impatient when he heard the sound.
Xu Feng is just a general. He is the national advisor. Xu Feng directs him to discuss affairs. This is against the rules.
However, Xu Feng was appointed by Gui Tai, and he had to obey.
"I gonna go see."
Xuanjizi put down the tea cup and went downstairs to the general's mansion.
Walking to the General's Mansion, Xu Feng sat in the main seat, leaving a seat for Xuan Jizi.
"Master, please sit down."
Xu Feng was very polite, but Xuanjizi was secretly wary.
This Xu Feng is Li Chengdao's confidant. Xu Feng must have some objections to Xuanjizi's misbehavior in the harem.
Xuanjizi is not afraid of Xu Feng having a bad attitude, but he is afraid that Xu Feng has a good attitude.
If you show courtesy for nothing, you will be a traitor or a thief. Mysterious people should beware of their plotting.
Xuanjizi sat down and asked, "Has an order arrived from the Holy Son?"
When Xuanjizi said this, he meant that he only listened to Gui Fei's instructions and did not listen to anyone else's orders.
Xu Feng said: "The Holy Son has an order, ordering us to immediately send troops to raid Xianhe City. I will be the vanguard, and the Taoist priest will be the deputy general."
Xianhe City is more than 100 miles northwest of Zhongwu City, so the distance is not too far.
However, Linhu City has been occupied by Long Chen. A raid on Xianhe City is equivalent to breaking into a place controlled by the Zhou Dynasty. Doing so is very dangerous.
Xuanjizi asked: "Why doesn't the emperor go out with the army?"
Li Chengdao did not participate, and Xuanjizi felt uneasy.
Xu Feng said: "The emperor wants to sit in Zhongwucheng and guard it with Liu Feibai. In case Long Chen raids Zhongwucheng after we leave, there will be no one to guard it."
Xuan Jizi frowned and said: "The Black Armored Army raided Xianhe City, so Long Chen would naturally have to return his troops to defend. Zhongwucheng would not need to defend."
It’s not that Xuan Jizi doesn’t understand the art of war at all. If the Black Armored Army attacks Xianhe City, Long Chen will definitely return to defend. How can there be any extra troops to threaten Zhongwu City?
Li Chengdao won't go, and neither will Xuanjizi.
"This is the order of the Holy Son. Could it be that the Imperial Master is disobeying the order?"
Xu Feng moved out the ghost fetus, Xuan Jizi looked unhappy, but did not dare to refute.
"The poor Taoist will report to the Holy Son, and he will go out to fight after he understands."
Xuanjizi resisted, Xu Feng sneered and said: "The Taoist priest is free to do as he pleases. This is the order of the Holy Son. I will set off now." Bayi Chinese website
After saying that, Xu Feng led his generals and immediately headed northwest with a hundred thousand black-armored troops.
Xuanjizi watched Xu Feng leave, unsure of what was going on.
Is it a ghost story, or is there some fraud involved?
Back at the attic, Chunxiu saw that Xuanjizi was in a state of disbelief and asked, "What's wrong with the Taoist priest?"
Xuan Jizi said: "Xu Feng asked me to go out with the army just now. I thought about it and felt that there might be some fraud in it. I didn't go out with the army."
Chunxiu asked: "Why do you say that?"
Xuan Jizi said: "Because Li Chengdao won't go, it's unreasonable."
Chunxiu said worriedly: "What if the Holy Son blames..."
Speaking of ghosts and blame, Xuanjizi shudders on a hot day.
"It's really difficult for this guy to use the Holy Son to suppress me..."
"That's all, I'd better go."
After all, Xuanjizi was afraid of the ghost fetus, so he immediately packed up his things and rode to the northwest to chase after him.
On the city tower, Li Chengdao watched Xuanjizi riding towards the northwest with a sinister smile on his face.
...
Linhu City.
A catapult was set up on the top of the city, canisters of gunpowder were placed under the city, crossbows were aimed at the east and north, and piles of feather arrows were placed on the city tower.
Long Chen personally inspected the defense preparations and asked the soldiers to repair the damaged areas.
"Your Excellency, you have no intention of leaving the city to fight?"
Han Ziping asked, looking at the piles of crossbow arrows.
Long Chen said: "No, Gui Fei just wants to compete with me. I won't leave the city. If he has the guts to attack the city, I promise to let him pile up mountains of corpses."
A female general with a thick waist and dark skin came up. This person was Mei Yu from the Artillery Battalion.
Mei Yu found Long Chen and said, "Sir, why don't you arrange for our artillery battalion to fight?"
Long Chen said: "This is a defensive battle, your artillery battalion will take a temporary break."
Mei Yu was not convinced and said: "Everyone can fight, why does our artillery battalion have to rest?"
Han Ziping smiled and said: "General Mei, if you have the ability, you can move thousands of kilograms of artillery to the city wall."
Mei Yu looked at the crossbows on the city and said, "Just move them!"
After saying that, Mei Yu angrily went down.
Long Chen said somewhat speechlessly: "Why are you provoking her? It's better now, she will definitely bring the artillery up."
Han Ziping stuck out his tongue and said, "I was just joking."
After Mei Yu went down, he immediately summoned the soldiers of the artillery battalion and began to move the artillery onto the city wall.
When the city was extremely busy, He Juntao suddenly rushed up to the city wall and said: "Sir, there is news from Zhongwucheng that Xu Feng suddenly led the Black Armored Army to march northwest!"
Long Chen immediately thought of Xianhe City.
To the northwest of Zhongwu City, there is only one big city, Xianhe City.
"Xu Feng wants to raid Xianhe City?"
Han Ziping was surprised.
He Juntao said anxiously: "Xianhe City has almost no troops to defend it. If Xu Feng's 100,000 black armored troops attack, Xianhe City will definitely not be able to defend it!"
Long Chen didn't speak, but watched the soldiers carrying things into the city.
"Immediately send an order to Xianhe City for everyone to withdraw and retreat towards Linjiang City."
Long Chen did not choose to rescue, but ordered an evacuation.
He Juntao was a little confused and said: "If we withdraw, Xianhe City will fall into Xu Feng's hands."
Han Ziping said: "Xianhe City is occupied, and our return route to the west will be cut off. Linhu City and Beiling City are both in danger."
If Xianhe City is lost, Guite will be like a chess piece planted to isolate Linhu City and Beiling City.
Moreover, Beiling City is still fighting.
But Long Chen shook his head and said: "Xu Feng's raid on Xianhe City was just to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Linhu City, so that I or the Holy Emperor could return troops to defend. The ghosts would take the opportunity to attack Linhu City and put us in a passive position."
"I decided not to go. I just asked everyone in the city to evacuate, leaving Xu Feng with an empty city."
"As long as I win in Linhu City, if Xu Feng doesn't leave, he will be the turtle in the jar."
As long as he wins the battle in Linhu City, Xu Feng will go deep alone, and Long Chen can turn around and take care of him.
Han Ziping thought about it carefully and nodded: "What you said makes sense..."
He Juntao said: "Then shall I issue the order immediately? Or should I wait for the Holy One to make a decision?"
