Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the news.
When the two armies confront each other, sooner or later there will be a decisive battle, and sooner or later the enemy will send troops.
However, the ghost fetus has been hiding in Qingren County, and now it suddenly takes the initiative to ask for a fight, which seems very abrupt.
"Just come here, it will save us the trouble of attacking the city."
Gongsun Linglong is eager to try, but her hammer has long been lonely and unbearable.
Gongsun Ming secretly stepped on Gongsun Linglong and signaled her to stop talking nonsense.
Gongsun Linglong rolled her eyes at Gongsun Ming.
Luo Qiwei, the commander of Beida Camp, asked: "Your Majesty, why does Gui Fei want to fight at this time?"
Wu Jian said: "Qingren County's military rations are very scarce. I heard that ministers and soldiers are fleeing very seriously. If this continues, they will have no soldiers to use."
"The ghost wants to fight us while the soldiers are still available."
Everyone nodded slightly, feeling that what Wu Jian said made sense.
Gongsun Ming said: "Although there are many ghosts, there is nothing to fear. Their soldiers are hungry and do not want to fight. Our soldiers and horses are enough to defeat them."
Speaking of this, Gongsun Linglong began to praise Long Chen: "The method of killing the eunuch is really good. It supports a new emperor and cuts off all the logistics of the ghost fetus."
Long Chen is no longer a eunuch, but the future prince-in-law.
Only Gongsun Linglong settled old scores and publicly said that Long Chen was a dead eunuch.
Gongsun Ming stepped on me again. Gongsun Linglong became impatient and said, "Why are you stepping on me? I deserve a spanking, right? I didn't get enough spankings when I was a child!"
Gongsun Ming was stunned and speechless...
Yingfeng advised: "Linglong, please stop saying a few words."
The empress asked: "What do you think? I have already asked Luo Xi and Ling Yi to prepare for war."
Gongsun Linglong slapped the table and said, "There's nothing to say, just fight. When it comes, fight!"
The generals also advocated fighting.
The empress nodded and said: "Okay, then prepare the army for war!"
"Wu Jian, you command the Long Family Army as the backbone, and Luo Qiwei's Peking Camp is ambushing in the north, preparing to respond."
"Li Xiannan, your troops are ambushing in the south, preparing to attack from the flank."
"Meng Yidao, you are preparing to attack Liu Feibai. He is your only target, so be careful!"
Liu Feibai's cultivation level is not low. Meng Yidao and nine people may have a chance to attack him together.
Meng Yidao immediately bowed and said: "The last general has received the decree."
Gongsun Linglong asked: "Your Majesty, where am I?"
The empress said: "You and Gongsun Ming will lead the soldiers and horses in Linjiang City to prepare for reinforcements."
Gongsun Linglong wanted to lead the army alone as a vanguard. The empress knew Gongsun Linglong's idea, but did not allow it.
Gongsun Linglong is no match for Gui Fei. If an accident happens, it will be difficult to explain to Gongsun Yun when he returns.
"That's it, go ahead."
The empress stood up and the generals bowed to her: "The last general takes command!"
When the empress returned, everyone left the meeting hall and surrounded Wu Jian and asked: "Old Wu, where is King Wu? Why didn't you see him? Is he really not in the city?"
Everyone was surprised that Long Chen was not present for such an important discussion today.
There have long been rumors in the city that Long Chen is actually not in the city.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts, if Long Chen was not here and the ghost fetus came over, the empress would be no match.
Wu Jian actually knew that Long Chen was not here, but he couldn't say that if he told them that Long Chen was not here, it would definitely cause panic.
"Everyone, I can tell you clearly that King Wu is not here!"
Wu Jian pretended to be serious. Gongsun Linglong put his hand on Wu Jian and asked: "Is the dead eunuch really not here?" Bayi Chinese website
Wu Jian nodded slightly and said, "I'm really not here. The young general has something to do."
When everyone saw Wu Jian like this, they all thought he was talking nonsense.
"If you're not there, then you're not here. We should also share our worries for King Wu."
Gongsun Ming thought he had seen through Wu Jian's little thoughts, and said to everyone with a smile.
Everyone nodded and said: "General Gongsun is right, let's get ready to go."
Everyone dispersed, except Gongsun Linglong.
"Aren't you going to prepare for war?"
Wu Jian said with a smile.
Gongsun Linglong said very seriously: "Old Wu, I know that the dead eunuch is really not in the city."
Wu Jian was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why?"
Gongsun Linglong said: "Because he hasn't come to me for a long time. If he is here, he will come to me once every three days at most. He can't hold it back."
this...
Wu Jian couldn't laugh or cry, Gongsun Linglong actually judged from this point that Long Chen was not in the city.
What a genius!
"Don't tell anyone!"
Wu Jian gave the instructions very seriously.
Gongsun Linglong snorted: "You think I'm stupid, I want you to tell me!"
After saying that, Gongsun Linglong walked away in a big way.
Looking at Gongsun Linglong's retreating back, Wu Jian thought to himself: The young general's only weakness is women.
If the ghost fetus is analyzed from a woman's perspective, it can also be seen that the Major General is not here.
...
Qingren County.
In the west of the city, more than 600,000 soldiers and horses were arrayed. Li Chengdao and Liu Feibai were wearing armor, waiting for the ghost fetus to come out.
The uniforms worn by the soldiers were in tatters, and only a few could wear armor.
There are all kinds of weapons in his hands, including swords, guns, spears, and random sticks with a spike attached to them.
The soldiers were sallow and thin, and all of them were listless.
The sun in the sky was still hot, and some soldiers were so burned that they fell to the ground.
"Hasn't the Holy Son come out yet?"
Liu Feibai turned back and looked into the city.
Li Chengdao didn't answer. He didn't want to ask how Gui Fei was doing. He just wanted to do things according to Gui Fei's will.
He Mengsheng rode out from the city, came to Li Chengdao, and worshiped: "Your Majesty, the Holy Son has ordered to send troops to Jinling."
Li Chengdao and Liu Feibai were stunned at the same time, and the surrounding generals were also surprised.
"Didn't you say that we would send troops to Lake City to fight the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"
"Send troops to Jinling? Why send troops to Jinling?"
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
The generals started talking a lot, and Li Chengdao and Liu Feibai immediately understood Gui Fei's intention.
Qingren County is short of food and weapons, and a decisive battle with Long Chen at this time would be to risk death.
The best choice is to return to Jinling, where there is food, grass and military equipment, and the city is stronger than Qingren County.
Long Chen's wishful thinking was to trap the ghost fetus to death in Qingren County and then destroy it without attack.
Now Guitai suddenly gathered his troops to attack Jinling and face Long Chen in Jinling City. This was a clever plan.
"What a good plan."
Liu Feibai praised.
Li Chengdao also nodded slightly and said: "First of all, we will attack Linhu City. Long Chen will definitely be preparing for the battle in Linhu City and prepare for a decisive battle with us."
"Our soldiers and horses suddenly marched eastward, and Long Chen couldn't catch up with us."
"By the time he caught up, Jinling City had already been destroyed."
Li Chengdao immediately said: "The Holy Son has an order to send troops to Jinling to tell everyone that there is food to eat there! You will not go hungry!"
Li Chengdao didn't talk so much nonsense and just said that he could eat enough.
The generals around him were also hungry. They were very happy when they heard that they could have enough to eat in Jinling.
As soon as the order spread, the soldiers immediately followed Li Chengdao and headed east.
...
Linhu City.
The empress was wearing armor and looking east on the tower, waiting for the army of ghosts to arrive.
Long Chen still didn't come back, and the empress felt a little uneasy.
She has seen the tricks of the ghost fetus before, and they are very powerful. Facing the ghost fetus alone, the empress does not know how long she can last.
"Why aren't you here yet?"
Gongsun Linglong walked up and down the city wall carrying two lion hammers.
