Watching Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai leave, Liang Yao said: "Master, the ghost clan is so fierce? Has the Long family army suffered such a big defeat?"
Having seen Long Chen destroy Nanliang, Liang Yao knew how powerful the Long family army was.
Such a powerful army was beaten so badly by the ghost tribe.
Taoist Master Xuanzhen shook his head and said: "We can't say that we lost the battle, we can only say that we fought a fierce battle."
"Gao Qinhu was a fierce general four hundred years ago. His warriors had the cultivation of Emperor Wu, and they numbered five thousand."
"Anyone else would have been in a certain death situation, but Long Chen actually blocked it. He is amazing!"
An army composed of five thousand Martial Emperor cultivators is enough to sweep across the world, and no one can resist it.
No matter what the cost, if you can stop it, you will win.
Liang Yao looked solemn and said: "Master, the ghost clan is so powerful, should we tell the truth to King Wu?"
Taoist Master Xuanzhen remained silent for a long time before saying, "Let's go, Yanmen Pass is not far away."
The two horses continued heading north.
...
Capital.
Long Chen's letter arrived in Di Yuwei's hands, and at the same time, the battle report of Yanmen Pass arrived.
He Ningxin stood beside Di Yuwei and found that Di Yuwei's hands were shaking a little.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Di Xingwan was dealing with other government affairs and felt strange when he saw Di Yuwei like this.
Di Yuwei handed over the battle report and said, "Take a look."
After Emperor Xingwan took the battle report and read it, his expression changed, and he said: "Five thousand guards, all of them are kings of martial arts, and there are some who can capture tigers?"
Di Yuwei leaned back on the chair, looked down at the memorial on the table, and said worriedly: "There were tens of thousands of casualties in this battle. I don't remember that the Long family army has never suffered such heavy losses. The queen will not be in danger, right?"
?”
Di Yuwei was even more worried about Long Chen, because during the battle, Long Chen would definitely be at the front.
Emperor Xingwan looked at the battle report and said hesitantly: "The Queen Mother asked us to send the battle report to all counties. This..."
The empress wanted everyone in the world to know how brutal the battle at Yanmen Pass in the north was and what this war meant.
Di Xingwan was a little worried. She was afraid that the people would be scared after seeing this battle report.
Di Yu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the battle report in Di Xingwan's hand, and said: "This is the Queen Mother's order, we should follow it."
The empress made it clear that all counties should be teleported, so they must do so.
Emperor Xingwan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, call the Ministry of War and ask them to handle it immediately."
Wen Shuzhen immediately went out to deliver the order.
Di Yuwei sat upright again and said: "Long Chen also sent a letter, saying that Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai have decided to join, and when they arrive, they will give them command of the 200,000-strong Nanliang army.
"
Emperor Xingwan nodded slightly and said: "As long as he decides, the battle at Yanmen Pass is tragic. We cannot just let our Zhou army fight to the death. The people of Nanliang must also contribute."
"Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai were originally the Five Tiger Generals of Nanliang. They are suitable to lead the Nanliang army."
Di Yu said slightly: "Long Chen invited the two of them to come out of the mountain in order to win them over to unite the army."
Di Xingwan looked at Di Yuwei and asked, "Oh? When did I tell you?"
Emperor Xingwan didn't know about this.
As for Di Yuwei, Long Chen told her on the bed when she was pretending to be sick in the East Palace. Specifically, he told her under the quilt.
"I heard Long Chen mention it accidentally. At that time, he told his mother that I was beside him."
Di Yu's face grew hot, and he felt very embarrassed, so he quickly excused himself.
Emperor Xingwan did not ask any further questions and continued: "Both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty participated in the war, and the Xixia people must also participate in the war. I wrote a memorial to my mother and proposed that Donna gather the Xixia soldiers to go north."
Di Yu nodded slightly and said: "That's right, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and everyone must bear it."
"Counting the time, Hu Feiyang, Qiu Kuohai still has a few days to arrive. Let's send out the battle report first."
Just as he was talking, Wang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of War, came in and said, "I am a humble minister, Wang Wei, pay my respects to the princess."
Di Yu said slightly: "Wang Shangshu sat down and talked."
Wang Wei sat down carefully. Although he had changed his mind anyway, the empress also counted him as a creditor, but after all, he had been a spy in Nanliang, with an unsightly background and a lot of gossip behind his back. Wang Wei was very cautious in doing things and asked several times to resign as Minister of the Ministry of War.
position.
The empress said that it was now a wartime situation and asked Wang Wei not to worry too much and continue to be in charge of the Ministry of War.
"This is a battle report sent back by the Queen Mother. Immediately ask the Ministry of War to send it to all counties, including Xixia and Nanliang, especially Nanliang."
Wen Shuzhen gave the battle report to Wang Wei, and Di Yuwei gave instructions.
Wang Wei read the battle report and said in shock: "The first battle at Yanmen Pass was actually... so brutal?"
Emperor Xingwan said: "My mother's intention is to let the world know that our officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are resisting the ghost tribe in the north, and let them know the sacrifices of our officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Especially since Nanliang has just surrendered, many people are lucky and still thinking about restoring the country. Let them see clearly what their emperor is!"
Wang Wei's old face felt a little hot. Li Chengdao was also his emperor.
"Wei Chen takes orders."
Wang Wei immediately agreed, Di Yu nodded slightly, and Wang Wei stood up and left.
Returning to the Ministry of War, Tan Yu, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of War, came over. Wang Wei ordered: "Send the battle report to all counties and counties in the world, especially Nanliang."
The minister, Tan Yu, took it, glanced at it briefly, was shocked in his heart, and said, "I obey my orders."
Soon, the Ministry of War copied the battle report and immediately sent it to all counties and counties. The battle report was also posted in every market in the capital.
West Market.
The battle report was posted on the wall, and merchants and people gathered around to watch it. A literate man read it loudly.
When the people heard this, they were very surprised and began to talk seriously about the ghost clan.
When the Empress went on an expedition, many people still said that the Empress' true purpose was to resist the barbarians. Now everyone began to believe that the ghost tribe was the enemy.
"Do ghosts really exist? How could the Long Family Army fight so brutally?"
"The ghost tribe's general is Gao Qinhu? Isn't this Gao Qinhu a subordinate of the Martial Saint?"
"Does it mean that this general has lived for four hundred years? Isn't that right?"
"How can the documents posted by the Ministry of War be false?"
"Isn't this too scary? A military commander from four hundred years ago?"
"If the ghost tribe breaks through Yanmen Pass, wouldn't we be in danger?"
"Twenty thousand Long family troops are guarding the place. The Holy Emperor and King Wu are both here. It should be fine."
Among the crowd, Yan Shuangyu held several boxes of rouge in her hand, looked at the battle report solemnly, and then quickly turned and left.
Returning to the house and entering the room, Meng Lan and Xiu Niang were playing chess around the stove.
"Shuangyu, help me take a look, I'm going to lose again."
When Meng Lan saw Yan Shuangyu coming in, she immediately waved to her for help.
The embroiderer giggled and said, "Don't help her. You are a true gentleman watching chess without speaking."
Meng Lan smiled and said: "What a gentleman, we are women, please help me take a look."
Yan Shuangyu put down her rouge and said, "I saw the battle report posted by the Ministry of War in the West Market just now. My husband fought fiercely at Yanmen Pass."
Speaking of Long Chen, the two immediately put down their chess pieces.
"What's going on? Is it tragic?"
The embroiderer stood up and asked worriedly.
Meng Lan asked: "Where is my husband? Is he okay?"
Yan Shuangyu shook her head slightly and said: "I just say that the Zhou army fought with the ghost tribe at Yanmen Pass. The ghost tribe's leader was the general Gao Qinhu four hundred years ago."
Xiu Niang and Meng Lan were both surprised.
Long Chen had already talked about the ghost clan, and also said that the Martial Saint, the ghost girl was not dead yet.
However, when they heard that Gao Qinhu was still alive and appeared on the battlefield, the two of them were still very shocked.
