"I'm sorry for disturbing the princess so late. There are indeed some urgent matters that need to be reported."
Emperor Xingwan asked if there was something urgent, and Qiu Kuohai didn't hide it.
Di Yu nodded slightly and said, "General Qiu, tell me."
Qiu Kuohai worshiped: "The ghost tribe is fierce. If we go north to resist the ghost tribe, our soldiers must fight to the death."
"In such a war, if the soldiers are not willing, there is no use in large numbers."
"There are 200,000 people in the military camp. Some are willing to stay and some want to go back to Daliang. Please ask the princess for permission to let those who want to go back."
There is no problem for Qiu Kuohai to say this. He has experienced the battle at Yanmen Pass and knows that if such a battle is not voluntary, there is no point in going there. It will only lead to death, or even escape from the battle.
After hearing this, Emperor Xingwan was furious, stood up and reprimanded: "Qiu Kuohai, my mother asked you to come back and lead the troops to the north. As soon as you came back, you sent the soldiers from Nanliang back. What on earth do you want to do!"
Qiu Kuohai was not surprised. He had already expected that the two princesses would react violently.
"Princess, I'm old. If I don't want to participate in the war, neither Long Chen nor the Holy One will force me to participate."
"This time I came back to lead the troops, it was all of my own free will, and I had no other ideas."
"This matter is indeed important. I will report it to the princess first. The princess can send a letter to the Holy Emperor and Long Chen to ask them what they mean."
"Before this, no soldiers in Nanliang will leave the military camp, and I will always be waiting for news in the military camp."
These two princesses have been living deep in the palace and have no understanding of the war in the north and leading troops in the war. It is normal for them to react violently.
How to deal with this matter will definitely have to wait for the empress's will in the end.
Of course, the most important thing is Long Chen's attitude.
Di Xingwan was still angry, so Di Yu slightly tugged on Di Xingwan's sleeve and said, "Okay, then please ask General Qiu to wait. This matter is important and we can't decide."
Qiu Kuohai bowed his hands, exited the side hall and returned to the military camp.
"Sister, these guys just want to rebel. They are the Five Tiger Generals. Maybe they are planning to take advantage of the tense war in the north to restore the country."
Di Xingwan stood up and cursed angrily. Di Yu shook his head slightly and said, "No, not to mention an army of 200,000, but what if we give him an army of one million?"
"Li Chengdao can't defend Nanliang, how can the two of them revive Daliang?"
"I was angry just now, and now I think about it. If they don't want to join the war, it's useless to go there."
"We will report this matter to the Queen Mother immediately and ask the Queen Mother to judge it."
"Moreover, order Luo Qiwei to have the troops from Beida Camp keep an eye on the two of them."
Di Yuwei understood Qiu Kuohai's request, but he did not completely trust the two of them, so he had to take precautions.
Emperor Xingwan nodded and said, "I'll draft the memorial."
Di Yuwei went to find Luo Qiwei, and Di Xingwan immediately wrote a memorial and reported it.
When Qiu Kuohai returned to the military camp, it was completely dark.
After entering the military camp, Ruan Cheng and Peng Qing came to pay their respects.
"General, what did Princess Zhou say?"
Qiu Kuohai sat down and said, "They can't decide this matter. Let's wait until they come forward."
Ruan Cheng shook his head and said: "General, I don't think they will agree. It's hard to predict whether the brothers who don't participate in the war will live or die."
They are prisoners, not conscripted soldiers. Their status is different and their treatment is also different.
Hu Feiyang came over and said: "Don't worry too much, I will probably agree. With Long Chen here, he will convince the empress."
Ruan Cheng looked at Hu Feiyang with some surprise, as if the two old generals trusted Long Chen and didn't look like enemies at all.
When the two veterans said this, they couldn't say much, so they could only follow them back to their rooms and wait for the empress's decree to arrive.
...
Yanmen Pass.
As night fell, Long Chen walked into a small military camp, and Gan Zhen was waiting with the Nilin Army.
After the war to destroy Nanliang, the number of the rebel army reached 500.
In the last battle, the Anti-Lin Army suffered heavy losses. It was claimed that there were 500 men, but in fact there were less than 400 left.
"grown ups."
Gan Zhen paid his respects, and the Ni Lin army behind him also paid their respects.
Long Chen walked to the middle, looked around at the soldiers, and said: "You have each trained different techniques during the day, and I will give you training in the evening."
"You have better foundation than others, so I will teach you the secret of immortality first."
The three exercises are different, and each person is suitable for different exercises.
The Immortality Technique is mainly used to enhance Qi, so they can practice it first.
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. Being able to follow Long Chen, the most powerful practitioner, felt that their status was different.
"Before practicing, I will give you something to eat first."
As he said this, several soldiers carried two large boxes over and placed them in the middle.
Long Chen opened the box and found meat inside, which looked similar to beef and mutton.
"This is the meat of ghost warriors. Last time they escaped, I chased and killed more than a hundred of them. I only crushed their heads without using weapons. I brought back their bodies."
Long Chen did not intend to hide the truth and told them everything truthfully.
Ni Linjun looked at the meat in the box with a strange look on his face.
"You must be thinking what to do with all this meat."
"I'm telling you, eat them, use their flesh to change their bodies, and become half-ghosts."
Long Chen picked up a piece of meat and ate it, and continued: "I know that everyone will find it disgusting, and I feel disgusting too."
"But in order to improve my cultivation, I have to do this."
"I have tried this meat. After eating it, your body will change rapidly, and some people may feel uncomfortable."
"You can choose for yourself. You can eat this, or you can wait until the meat garden is established and eat venison, beef, and mutton. You can do it."
A man of medium build and big face came out.
This person is Nilin Military Colonel Hong Ping.
"What adults can eat, there is nothing we can't eat."
"I have a big appetite, so I'm afraid adults will think I eat too much!"
Hong Ping walked out with a smile and patted his belly.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't eat too much, no more than one pound of meat per day, eat slowly, otherwise your body will change too quickly."
Hong Ping smiled and said, "You still think I have a big appetite."
Hong Ping's words caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere became much happier.
"Everyone has a pound of meat and a pound of wine, so get in line!"
Gan Zhen said loudly, and four hundred rebel troops lined up to receive it.
After the meat was divided, the soldiers picked up wine jars and ate the meat and drank wine on the spot.
Soon, the meat was finished and the wine jar was put aside.
Long Chen said: "Your reactions vary in speed, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
Everyone sat down on the ground and waited slowly, while Long Chen walked among the crowd to inspect.
Within a quarter of an hour, several soldiers began to have veins popping out, clenching their fists tightly, and the flesh effect began.
Long Chen walked over and said: "Relax and practice the secret of longevity!"
The technique has been taught, and the soldiers immediately practiced the Secret of Immortality.
Slowly... the soldiers began to react, and Long Chen shouted: "Practice the Secret of Immortality and circulate your energy and blood according to the methods mentioned."
It wasn't until midnight that all the soldiers had reacted, and Long Chen went back to his room to rest.
The situation was better than expected. Long Chen originally thought that someone would die from the poison, but it didn't happen.
The meat of the ghost tribe is more effective. In this case, does Long Chen want to take the initiative and hunt for some flesh and blood of the ghost tribe?
