Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi broke through the real realm, and there was no need to worry about the defense of Yanmen Pass. The empress immediately summoned all the generals of Yanmen Pass to discuss matters.
The upper-level military commanders knew a little bit, but the middle-level military commanders did not know the situation and were waiting for the empress to speak.
"I and King Wu are going north to Yanmen Pass and will be away temporarily for a while. While I am away, all military affairs at Yanmen Pass will be handled by the two princesses together!"
The empress got straight to the point and explained the topic of today's discussion.
In the past, when the empress and Long Chen left, they would always do so secretly, using various guises to cover up, the most common one being cultivation.
But this time it was different. The empress no longer concealed it and directly said that she would leave Yanmen Pass in the north.
Because according to the Empress' estimation, the ghost fetus should know, so there is no need to hide it anymore.
People who know it won't find it strange, this just confirms the previous rumors.
The middle-level generals were very surprised. Yanmen Pass was so important. At this time, the empress and Long Chen left at the same time?
"The Holy Emperor and King Wu are not here, what if the ghost clan makes a sneak attack?"
"Neither Guitai nor Gao Qinhu is dead. Yanmen Pass is not safe. At this time..."
On the battlefield, the most fearful thing is that the generals will be suspicious and unstable, which will cause moral turmoil in the army.
Long Chen continued: "The Holy Lord and I left the customs to detect the movements of the ghost tribe. Since the war, the ghost tribe has carefully sneaked into the customs to spy on our army's intelligence, and they know our situation very well."
"On the contrary, we know almost nothing about the movements of the ghost clan. We don't know where they are hiding, how many troops they have, or what they will do next."
"So, Your Majesty and I decided to go out to gather information. The cultivation of the two princesses is no worse than ours. With them guarding the pass, we don't have to worry about sneak attacks by the ghost clan."
"We are just outside the customs. If the ghost tribe really attacks and invades, we can come back at any time."
"They even said that if you block it at Yanmen Pass, we can attack from behind the enemy to form a pincer attack."
Long Chen didn't tell the truth completely, but after the generals heard it, they were relieved.
Going out to detect the situation means taking the initiative. If there is any movement from the ghost clan, Long Chen can detect it in advance.
"While I am away, you generals must assist the two princesses with all your heart, train your troops well, and never slack off."
The empress' words were serious and thoughtful, and all the generals immediately stood up and worshiped: "The last general has issued an order, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
The empress scanned the crowd and said: "Wu Jian, Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun, Bai Tingting, Zhang Man, Hu Feiyang, Qiu Kuohai, Tuzhi Shanyu, Feng He, these people stay, and the rest retreat
Down."
Everyone stood up and exited, and Long Chen and Di Luoxi also exited the room.
The door was closed, and the empress explained something inside.
"What did the queen say? We can't even listen to her?"
Di Luoxi was a little unhappy, Long Chen said with a smile: "I can't listen either, you can feel more balanced."
Di Luoxi said displeased: "Nonsense, I am the queen's biological daughter, and you are not her biological daughter."
Emperor Lingyi did not care about this, but said: "The Queen Mother still insists on going, can we only stay here?"
She still wants to follow the empress to the snowy mountains to save people.
Long Chen said: "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. You guys guard Yanmen Pass so that we can save people with peace of mind."
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi sighed and said nothing.
After a while, the door of the meeting hall opened, and Wu Jianyi and others looked a little strange.
"What did the Queen Mother tell you?"
When people came out, Di Luoxi immediately grabbed Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian shook her head slightly and said: "Princess, the Holy One has a decree and must not reveal it."
Di Luoxi was really a little unhappy, Zhang Qian lowered her head and said nothing.
Long Chen said: "It is the will of the Holy Lord not to embarrass them."
Wu Jian and others left the meeting hall and went back to the military camp to continue training.
The empress finally came out of the meeting hall. Di Luoxi smiled and approached her, asking: "Mother, what is something that you cannot let your sons hear?"
The empress smiled and said: "If you can't know, you can't know. Don't ask. You go and take over the military defense and wait for the queen mother to come back!"
"Lingyi, you are my sister. Luo Xi has an unstable personality. Look at her."
Di Luoxi said coquettishly: "I have grown up, why are you still not calm?"
The empress straightened Emperor Luo Xi's hair and said, "Go, guard the gate and wait for my return."
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi bowed and left, immediately taking over the military defense.
"You come with me!"
Long Chen followed the empress back to the room. Master Ziyun, Miaoyin, Gan Xin, and Mo Lin had already arrived.
"Your Majesty."
The four of them stood up, and the empress sat down and said, "We won't bring many people with us for this operation, just the six of us!"
Long Chen asked: "Aren't you going to bring people from the West Factory? By the way, we will investigate the situation outside the customs."
According to Long Chen's plan, he left the border this time to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and prepare for subsequent operations.
Feng He, Gan Xin and Mo Lin had been wandering around the grassland for several months before, basically around the White Bone Mountain, and rarely set foot in other places.
I don’t even know much about the situation of the ghost tribe.
As for the Tuzhi side, it stands to reason that the barbarians know the grassland best, but in places controlled by ghosts, the barbarians dare not set foot, so they don't know.
The empress shook her head slightly and said: "What I mean, this time the goal is to focus on saving people, and we can wait until winter to discuss other matters."
Long Chen said: "As long as we delay the winter and wait until the ice and snow melt, we can let the barbarians serve as guides and lead troops to counterattack north."
Long Chen had already thought of this.
The ghost fetus takes advantage of the arrival of ice and snow to invade south. Long Chen can also wait until half of summer, when the ice and snow melts, and then lead his troops to attack north.
In war, it is important to have the right time, place, and people. The ghost fetus now occupies the right time, and the situation is favorable to the ghost clan.
When summer comes, the situation will be favorable to Long Chen.
However, when summer comes, the ghost tribe may retreat to the Hera Pass. At that time, whether Long Chen dares to cross the Hera Pass is a question.
No one knows what lies beyond the Hera Pass.
The old people of the barbarians only know that behind the Hera Pass is an endless ice field, where the ice and snow never melt all year round.
In the stories of the barbarians, behind the Hera Pass is the hometown of the Snow God, and all the ice and snow come from there.
The empress said: "Yes, I want to wait for time to pass and wait for the weather to be beneficial to us."
Long Chen didn't say anything. It would be best if we could go in and out quickly and rescue people, so as not to cause trouble.
"What the Holy One said makes sense, so let's leave tomorrow!"
Long Chen did not express his concerns, but directly agreed with the empress' statement and wanted to complete the matter as soon as possible so as not to cause other problems.
The empress looked at Master Ziyun and the four others and said, "This rescue is my idea. You can choose to go, or you can choose not to go."
The empress didn't want to force them because this trip was very dangerous.
Master Ziyun smiled and said: "I was also a witness to the disappearance of the late emperor. I also want to see if the late emperor is still there."
Miaoyin said: "Sister went to save people, how could my sister not go?"
The two of them have a good relationship with the empress and are determined to go.
Gan Xing smiled dryly and said: "We also want to see what the ghost's lair looks like. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Long Chen went with him, it was impossible for the two of them not to go.
There was danger. Naturally, they followed the Empress not because they were loyal to the Empress, but because they wanted to see the ghost's lair.
At this point, what they pursue is no longer the same.
They want to go one step further and break through to the real realm.
Long Chen gave them a lot of benefits, including exercises, dried meat, elixirs, and everything they needed. However, their cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the Emperor. They need an opportunity to break through to the true state.
Perhaps, the ghost tribe has the opportunity they need.
