I thought Long Chen was going to repeat his old trick and give Yuncheng's food and horses to the people, but who knew that there would be a threat.
"Captain Leng, pull up the bodies of those people!"
Leng Yu immediately dragged out Shuaifu's body and placed it on the ground.
Long Chen pointed at the corpse and cursed: "Did you see it? I kill people without blinking an eye!"
"Now I give you two choices: first, be hacked to death by me; second, I will give you food and you will work for me!"
Long Chen was holding a knife. There was blood on the knife, and it looked very ferocious and terrifying.
The people were frightened and begged one after another: "Master, please spare my life..."
When Long Chen saw that the fire was almost done, he pointed at the walls on all sides of Yun City and said: "Now, destroy the walls. If anyone dares to do nothing, I will kill him!"
"Whoever does a good job can take whatever food he wants, and the sheep and horses here will also be given to you!"
If you don't work, you will be killed. If you do work, there are benefits. People will definitely choose to work.
All the people went up to the city wall, and Long Chen ordered to find some more people.
Soon, the city wall of Yuncheng was broken through and the gate was demolished.
For those who worked hard, Long Chen gave grain and sheep on the spot. When the people saw that it was really beneficial, they worked even harder.
At night, Long Chen opened the granary and distributed all the military rations to the people.
At the same time, he sent people to spread rumors that Long Chen would kill them all the next day, and it was best to escape at night.
The people got the benefits and believed the rumors. In addition, the city wall was destroyed and they could come in and out at will. So they quietly left Yuncheng and fled.
In the handsome manor, Long Chen looked at the map, and there was a person who looked like a master standing next to him.
"According to your news, where is Shi Le's army?"
Long Chen needs to grasp Shi Le's movements, otherwise he will really be surrounded and will only have a dead end.
The master's hands were trembling, and he pointed to the map and said, "I received a message from the flying eagle this morning. The king has arrived at Gucheng, three hundred miles away."
Captain Leng Yu looked at the map and said, "Now Shile is less than two hundred miles away from us."
Long Chen looked at the map and said: "We are going back east, we can't really be surrounded here."
The master next to him said flatteringly: "General, you can't go east."
Long Chen asked: "Why?"
The master said: "The imperial master has surrounded us from the east, and there are also people from the east."
Bai Tingting and Leng Yu looked at Long Chen in shock, they didn't know the news yet.
Seeing Bai Tingting and Leng Yu's shocked faces, the master knew that his information was valuable.
Long Chen looked at the map, frowned and said: "Old Bald Donkey Kongji actually came out. We have to leave overnight, enter the grassland from here, then detour to Youguan, and then return south to Jade Buddha Pass."
Bai Tingting agreed: "We have killed enough this time, it's time for us to leave."
Long Chen clicked on the map and said: "Let's go!"
The master slowly stepped back, and Long Chen suddenly turned around and swiped the knife on the master's neck.
The master fell to the ground clutching his neck.
Leng Yu immediately gathered his troops and took the things out of the city and headed north.
....
Populus euphratica town.
Shi Le was leading his troops to round them up overnight, with 200,000 troops and horses stretching tens of miles from north to south, pushing eastward like a big net.
Privy Councilor Lu Qichang rode over and shouted: "Your Majesty, traces of Long Chengen have been found!"
Shi Le was overjoyed when he heard this and asked: "Where is it?"
Lu Qichang replied: "In Yuncheng!"
Shi Le shouted something bad: "No, this guy is going to flee north!"
Lu Qichang said: "I just received an urgent report from Yuncheng guard Shi Tao, saying that Long Chengen dressed up as an iron kite, sneaked into the city, and occupied Yuncheng."
Shi Le cursed: "It's useless. You can't tell the difference between us and the enemy. What's the use of him!"
"Send the order to the whole army to fight towards Yuncheng. This guy must not be allowed to escape into the grassland!"
Privy Councilor Lu Qichang immediately sent an order, and an army of 200,000 marched towards Yuncheng.
....
East.
Monk Kongji was leading 50,000 cavalrymen, spreading their nets and heading northwest to round them up.
The iron kite traveled very fast, traveling hundreds of miles, but there was no trace of Long Chen.
Hong Zheng felt strange: "Uncle, has Long Chengen run back?"
Monk Kongji shook his head and said: "I have ordered the road back to be sealed. Judging from the intelligence in the past two days, he should be in the north."
The valley leading to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has been sealed off. Kong Ji is not worried about Long Chen breaking out to the east, but he is afraid of escaping north into the grassland.
The army continued to march, and the Hou Qi in front suddenly came back, saying that they had encountered searching cavalry from Yuncheng.
Hong Zheng said: "The fact that Yuncheng's cavalry has arrived here means that there is no trace of Long Chengen to the north."
"Uncle, have we gone in the wrong direction?"
Kong Ji also felt strange and asked, "How many are there?"
Hou Qi replied: "More than three hundred people."
Kong Ji shook his head and said: "The north is so big, they only have more than 300 people, what if we missed it?"
Hong Zheng said: "It is still useful to ask them."
Kongji agreed and asked the waiting rider to bring the person over.
Not long after, Mao Jian, the captain of Yuncheng School, came over and paid homage: "General, I will pay my respects to the Imperial Master!"
Kong Ji nodded and said, "Excuse me, you came from Yuncheng. Didn't you see anyone suspicious?"
Mao Jian replied: "I have never seen the teacher who returned home."
Monk Kongji was slightly disappointed, and Mao Jian was worried that Kongji would blame him, so he added: "The reconnaissance cavalry sent by the national division should have arrived in Yuncheng, and they didn't find it either."
Hong Zheng said in surprise: "We did not send any reconnaissance cavalry to the north."
Kong Ji suddenly woke up and asked: "Where did you meet him?"
Mao Jian replied: "The general met a hundred miles south of Yuncheng, about... five hundred people."
Kong Ji patted the saddle and said, "That person is Long Chengen, chase me!"
The team pursued at full speed towards Yuncheng. Not far away, they received another message from Shi Le, saying that Long Chengen was in Yuncheng.
Kong Ji pursued him further north with all his might.
....
After Long Chen came out of Yuncheng, he walked north for more than ten miles, then turned his horse and headed south.
"Sir, there are Shi Le and Kong Ji's army to the south, will we be in danger?"
Bai Tingting was very worried about running into the Xixia army.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's night now, there are only five hundred of us, and we wear the same clothes and armor, who can tell the difference clearly."
Five hundred cavalry took advantage of the cover of night and crossed from the west of Yuncheng to the south.
After passing Yuncheng and running for more than fifty miles, we saw torches stretching for several miles.
"Sir, Shi Le's army."
Captain Leng Yu was a little scared.
Five hundred versus two hundred thousand, normal people would be afraid.
"They held up torches, so we lit them too and ran faster."
Shi Le's army lit a fire, but it would be abnormal for Long Chen not to light a fire.
Everyone lit torches and continued to march south.
After passing a town, I happened to encounter a team of several hundred people.
"Which part do you belong to!"
When they met, Long Chen was the first to ask.
The young general on the opposite side was a little panicked and said: "We are from the Wolf Camp, which battalion are you from?"
Long Chen saw that there were women in the team and knew that these people were taking advantage of the chaos to seize wives and daughters.
"It turns out that my brother is also getting rich. Is there any good stuff in the nearby town?"
When the young general saw what Long Chen said, he was relieved and said with a smile: "No, these people are not good-looking. I heard that the ones in the south are better."
Long Chen chuckled and said: "You already have it, but we don't have it yet. Give us the town in the south."
The young general smiled and said: "That's easy to say, brother, I'll leave first!"
