At that time, Wu Sheng conquered the north and south and recruited a large number of powerful generals and many talented people.
When Wei Ying was there, Cheng Hui was just a small leader.
Although his position was not high, Cheng Hui was not weak in ability and had good vision. He could see that Li Chengdao was powerful, even more powerful than Wu Sheng.
In terms of cultivation, Li Chengdao and Long Chen fought back and forth, while Wu Sheng was defeated in a two-on-one fight.
In terms of military use, although Li Chengdao did not directly command the battle, he must have been able to fight with Long Chen for so long, so he must be of a high level.
Moreover, before the battle, Li Chengdao suggested that Wu Sheng bypass Yanmen Pass and invade the hinterland of the Central Plains from Xixia.
This suggestion now seems to be absolutely correct.
That's why Cheng Hui stood up to support Li Chengdao and left with Li Chengdao.
"We need to find a place to stay."
Li Chengdao looked at the Dragon Slayer Army and then at the vast snowfield and said.
In the war between the Ghost Tribe and the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the general's problems, there were also problems with his soldiers.
The warriors of the ghost tribe have high cultivation levels, but their equipment is so poor that they don't even have siege tools.
Li Chengdao planned to find a place to stay, equip his six thousand soldiers and horses, and wait for the opportunity.
Long Chen will definitely attack the ice plain. At that time, the Central Plains will be empty. Li Chengdao can take the opportunity to attack the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then go south to burn, kill and loot, destroying the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Finally, he sent his troops south, crossed the river, captured Jinling, and rebuilt Daliang.
By that time, Li Chengdao was stationed in Nanliang, and Long Chen rushed back from the ice field. The confrontation between the north and the south reappeared in the world, and the outcome was unknown.
"There is Yuncheng in Xixia and Yanmen Pass in the east. It is not suitable to go south."
"The barbarians have many winter caves on the grassland, which can be used as a place to stay."
Cheng Hui looked at the barbarians behind him. These barbarians knew the place.
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and said: "Let them lead the way. After we settle down, we will think of a way."
Cheng Hui looked at the army behind him and said: "General Li, our brothers just suffered a major defeat and were separated from the ghost army. The morale of the army is not very stable."
Li Chengdao understood what Cheng Hui meant and said, "Call all the generals here. I have something to say."
Cheng Hui immediately called together the generals, including centurions and above.
Soon, more than a hundred people gathered around Li Chengdao.
Looking at the generals around him, Li Chengdao said loudly: "Generals, who am I? You all know that I am the Emperor of Liang, and later I fought with the Holy Son and the Martial Saint."
"Now that the Holy Son and the Martial Saint are dead, and the Queen is also dead, I no longer have anything to do with the ghost clan."
"I am very happy that you are willing to follow me. I also know that you are confused."
"I am here to tell you that my cultivation level has surpassed that of Long Chen. You have also seen the battles in front of Yanmen Pass. Long Chen is no match for me!"
"Martial Saint was killed because he was alone, and Ghost Girl was killed because she took away my weapon. Later, I got back the Xuanwu Sword, defeated Long Chen, and severely wounded the Empress! None of them are my opponents!"
"Today's situation is very difficult, but it is not a desperate situation, but a new beginning!"
"When spring comes next year, Long Chen will definitely lead an army to attack the ice field, and the ghost clan will be in danger of being wiped out."
"But for us, this is an excellent opportunity. At that time, I will lead you to invade Xixia, find your relatives, and then send troops to march eastward, break through the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and then enter Daliang, where is my kingdom!
"
"I will once again proclaim myself emperor in Jinling and become the Emperor of Daliang. I will grant you the title of general and marquis, and the title of wife and son!"
"The ice field is too cold and is not a good place. Jinling is full of flowers. If you follow me, from now on you will be well-dressed and well-fed, call slaves and maids, and enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
The army had just suffered a major defeat and had broken with the ghost tribe. The morale of the army was very turbulent and morale was extremely low. Li Chengdao was in urgent need of encouragement.
After saying this, hope was ignited in the hearts of the generals. They really didn't like the ice field. It was too cold there, and there was nothing but ice and snow.
They have also heard about Jinling City, which is a prosperous place and a home of wealth.
It is much better to be a general and a high official in Jinling than to drink the northwest wind in the ice field.
"We are willing to follow General Li. It's freezing in the Holy Land."
"I want to be the county magistrate and the county master, and I want two maids to accompany me."
"I want to marry a concubine. I want two concubines. One will cook for me and the other will wash my feet."
"I want to marry ten concubines, some will cook, some will wash feet, some will sleep with me, and some will pinch feet..."
"I want to eat meat every day, eat a sheep every day, and feed the finished sheep bones to the dogs."
Many of the Dragon Slayers are ordinary people. They have little money and have never enjoyed the life of an official. All they can imagine is marrying more wives, having maids to serve them, and eating endless meat.
Seeing the excited expressions of the generals, Cheng Hui laughed loudly and cursed: "You are a bit promising. If you follow the emperor, we will be a high official. A mere county magistrate is nothing. When we become a high official, we will have hundreds of maids at home to serve us."
Cheng Hui stopped calling him "General Li" and changed his name to "Your Majesty."
"Yes, to become a high official with General Li, I will have hundreds of maids, oh, hundreds of maids, one of whom I will sleep with every day..."
These teenagers can't think of anything more, and it's still the same thing over and over again.
Cheng Hui scolded: "General Li, he is the emperor, the Emperor of Liang!"
The young general suddenly understood and bowed to Li Chengdao: "Yes, yes, yes, follow the emperor. I want to be a high official and eat white flour steamed buns and mutton soaked steamed buns all you want!"
The generals laughed loudly, as if they had seen the days of great wealth and wealth, with endless white flour steamed buns to eat, endless silk clothes to wear, and a bunch of serving maids.
With his morale boosted, Li Chengdao ordered: "Okay, go back and tell your brothers, follow me, good days are ahead!"
"Now, find a place to stay and wait for the opportunity!"
The generals dispersed happily, returned to the army, and told their soldiers Li Chengdao's promise.
These soldiers were also very excited. They also began to imagine endless food and endless sleep of women.
Cheng Hui found a barbarian who was familiar with the road and led the army to the cave where they would spend the winter.
...
ice fields.
Yu Wenkai quickly headed north with more than 10,000 troops.
It was pitch black above the head, and there was thick ice beneath the feet, with luminous fish swimming under the ice.
The Demon Dragon Camp had been here once and was not surprised by this. It was the first time the Long Family Army came in and everything they saw was strange.
"General Gan, are we on the right track?"
Chen Weizhi, the general of the Long Family Army, looked around and felt that everything was the same and he couldn't tell where he was.
It's like the ghost tribe entering the grassland and having trouble orienting themselves.
Gan Xin said: "Yes, we were here last time. Old General Yuwen drew a map. You can't go wrong if you follow it."
The last time he entered the ice field, Long Chen knew that he would definitely attack the ice field again, so he drew a map and learned how to identify the direction from the ghost tribe.
Unlike people in the Central Plains who look at the stars, mountains and rivers, and ice fields, they look at the mountains under the ice and the distribution of various fish.
Yu Wenkai rushed to the front, and a group of shadows suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Yang Hu, kill them!"
Yang Hu carefully distinguished and found that there should be patrolling soldiers from the ghost tribe ahead. There were not many of them, about twenty.
There are ghost soldiers patrolling near Moon City, and two groups have been eliminated just now.
"You guys come with me!"
Yang Hu ordered ten brothers and prepared to go forward and kill the patrolling ghost soldiers.
