Long Chen pinched Di Lingyi's cheek, just like when a husband goes out and tells his daughter-in-law to wait at home.
Di Luoxi looked jealous and immediately walked over to look at Long Chen.
"Luo Xi must also be obedient and wait for me to come back."
Long Chen immediately pinched Di Luoxi's cheek.
At this time, a slight hesitation will cause a storm.
Di Luoxi nodded with satisfaction and said, "You know the truth."
Long Chen quickly rode out of the city, and Wu Jian headed south with one hundred thousand Long family troops.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi stood at the top of the city, watching Long Chen go away.
...
To the southwest of Xianhe City, Xu Feng was leading the Black Armored Army marching through the mountains.
The mountains are densely covered with thorns and bitten by mosquitoes, making walking very difficult.
Xuanjizi was very dissatisfied and complained: "General Xu, if you don't leave the official road, you have to crawl up and down the mountain paths. Are you afraid that Long Chen won't be able to catch up?"
The marching speed on the small road was too slow, so Xuanjizi said this.
Xu Feng said coldly: "What do you know? I did this just to avoid Long Chen."
"If he wins a big victory in Linhu City, he will definitely lead troops to intercept and kill him. If I take the official route, wouldn't I just fall into the trap?"
When Xu Feng returned to Zhongwucheng, he did not take the official road, but took a detour and walked southwest for a long time.
This was done to avoid being intercepted by the Long Family Army.
Xuan Jizi said dissatisfied: "Won't the defenders of Zhongwucheng respond? General Xu underestimates the emperor."
When Li Chengdao was mentioned, Xu Feng's expression changed suddenly. Xuan Jizi felt murderous intent and immediately said: "Xu Feng, don't mess around. Pindao is the national teacher appointed by the Holy Son!"
Xuanjizi was afraid that Xu Feng would suddenly kill someone, so he immediately moved out of the ghost town.
Xu Feng glanced at Xuanjizi coldly and continued to ride forward.
Xuanjizi didn't dare to get too close to Xu Feng, so he just followed him from a distance.
"When I get back, I have to tell the Holy Son that Xu Feng is rebellious and Li Chengdao is respectful in appearance but disrespectful in heart."
Xuanjizi made up his mind and went back to complain to Guitei.
...
Zhongwucheng.
The urgent order from the Ministry of War was delivered to Liu Feibai, who immediately presented it to Li Chengdao. Bayi Chinese website
News of Linhu City's defeat has reached Zhongwu City, and Liu Feibai has his own news channel.
When marching and fighting, the most important thing is intelligence.
Linhu City suffered such a huge defeat, Liu Feibai found out about it the day before.
"The Son of God ordered the general to withdraw his troops."
Liu Feibai asked Li Chengdao for instructions.
Li Chengdao did not receive the urgent order from the Ministry of War, but simply said: "If the Holy Son has an order, then withdraw."
Liu Feibai asked: "General Xu is still in Xianhe City, Linhu City has been defeated, and if Zhongwucheng abandons its defense, General Xu will definitely fall into a tight siege."
Li Chengdao glanced at Liu Feibai, but he didn't expect that Liu Feibai was still thinking about Xu Feng at this time, which was really rare.
"Don't worry, this is Daliang, Xu Feng's black-armored army cannot be trapped in a tight siege."
Long Chen only conquered the city, but the beams were still Li Chengdao's beams.
Xu Feng only needs to avoid Long Chen, it's very simple.
"The last general is stupid, so I will withdraw my troops and ask the emperor to take charge."
Liu Feibai saluted respectfully, and Li Chengdao nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's withdraw."
Liu Feibai immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and Li Chengdao followed the army to retreat eastward.
...
The Long family army marched south to 30 miles north of Zhongwu City, and Long Chen ordered to set up camp and rest.
"Send someone to investigate and see the current situation in Zhongwucheng."
Long Chen found Han Ziping and asked him to send someone to investigate immediately.
Han Ziping said: "Sir, I will go there myself."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Pay attention to safety, remember, if the situation is not good, turn around and run."
Han Ziping smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir."
Ordering a few fast horses, Han Ziping immediately led the people to Zhongwucheng.
After a journey of 30 miles, the horse quickly arrived outside the city.
Standing in the woods, Han Ziping took out his binoculars and looked at the city.
"General Han, there seems to be no one in the city."
The soldiers built a pergola and looked into the city, but did not see the Nanliang soldiers.
There are only a few flags on the city wall, and the city gate is open.
Han Ziping looked at it carefully and said happily: "Your Excellency, you really have a plan. They really ran away."
On the way here, Long Chen said that after the defeat of Guitai, Qingren County was empty.
Feng Erniang and her entourage were killed, and there were no generals available, so Li Chengdao and Liu Feibai must be sent back for reinforcements.
Zhongwu City will probably be abandoned and turned into an empty city.
"Hey, we can occupy it directly."
the soldier said happily.
Han Ziping put away the telescope, but still felt that the ground was not safe, and said: "We have to go into the city and take a look, in case there is an ambush inside."
A soldier said: "General Han, I'm going."
Han Ziping shook his head slightly and said, "No, just wait, I will go there myself."
The soldier stopped Han Ziping and advised: "General, let's go."
Han Ziping shook his head and said: "This is the general's order, wait here."
Han Ziping used military orders, but they had no choice but to wait in the woods.
Riding a horse, Han Ziping quickly arrived outside the city.
He was wearing a Nanliang military uniform. At this time, people were running out, carrying their belongings on their backs.
Han Ziping rode to the east gate. The ruts on the ground were deep and new. It looked like the army had just passed through.
Looking at the empty city gate, Han Ziping rushed in on horseback. There were only scattered people in the city.
Han Ziping found an old man and asked, "Old man, where are the defenders here?"
When the old man saw the Nanliang military uniform that Han Ziping was wearing, he asked: "You are gone by yourself, don't you know?"
Han Ziping said: "I came to deliver a message, why did he disappear?"
The old man said: "Let's go. Everyone retreated. They left quietly last night."
"You should chase the messenger eastward. Maybe you can catch up with him."
Han Ziping rode a horse and ran around the city to make sure there was no ambush, and then returned to the woods.
"General, how's it going?"
the soldier asked immediately.
Han Ziping said happily: "Everyone is gone, there is really no one left."
"Let's go back and report to the Lord."
Several people immediately rode back to the camp. Long Chen and Wu Jian came over. Han Ziping jumped down and said: "Sir, it's empty, there is no one!"
Wu Jian said happily: "It's just as the young general expected."
Ye Chang felt very surprised: "He really ran away? He was fast enough."
Tang Heizi smiled and said: "If they don't run away, they will die when the adults arrive."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Let's go to the city immediately and let the brothers change their clothes."
Wu Jian ordered everyone to change into Nanliang military uniforms.
After the replacement was completed, Long Chen led the army towards Zhongwucheng in a mighty manner.
When they arrived outside the city, the people saw the flag of Nanliang and said strangely: "Didn't they retreat? Why did they come back again?"
Wu Jian shouted in a Nanliang accent: "We are back again. Don't be afraid. We haven't withdrawn our troops. Don't panic."
"Tell the people to come back, we won't leave."
The army entered the city, and Long Chen ordered to immediately take over the city's defense.
