Bai Tingting said: "This is taken from Panhe Palace in Shile."
Zhang Qian said in surprise: "Panhe Palace? Why did you run to the palace?"
Captain Leng Yu said: "The killing was really enjoyable this time. Dazhu Kingdom led us to kill indiscriminately in the hinterland of Xixia, burned Zhenguo Temple, destroyed Yuncheng, and finally ran a long distance to burn Panhe Palace. Shi Le
Like a dog, we walk it."
Emperor Lingyi said in shock: "How far have you run?"
Long Chen was unable to send news back from the hinterland of Xixia. Emperor Lingyi only knew that Long Chen burned down the Zhenguo Temple and did not know anything else.
"I'm here to tell you..."
Bai Tingting sat down and began to talk about the battle. Everyone was shocked.
Long Chen went back to rest, while the other soldiers went out with their things to show off.
Wu Jian entered the room and said: "The young general has been gone for so long, and we are very worried."
"I heard that Shile's cavalry numbered 200,000, and Kong Ji led tens of thousands more to round them up. We are really worried that the major general will not be able to come back."
Long Chen smiled and said: "This is not coming back."
Wu Jian said happily: "It's good to come back. It can be regarded as revenge for one stone."
Shi Ming caused trouble in the Eastern Zhou rear, and Long Chen went to the Western Xia rear to kill indiscriminately, so it was even.
"Shi Le and Kong Ji should be on their way back to Xingqing City at this time."
Long Chen poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Going back? Shouldn't they go to Jade Buddha Pass to join forces?"
Wu Jian felt that Shi Le should join forces with Kong Ji to attack the Jade Buddha Pass. Why did he go back?
"Because Tuzhi is attacking Xingqing City with hundreds of thousands of troops."
Long Chen said with a smile.
Wu Jian suddenly realized: "Oh, by the way, the Major General sent a letter to Tuzhi before setting off, and it turned out to be this."
Wu Jian only sent Long Chen's letter and did not read the content of the letter.
"Tuzhi sent 200,000 troops. If we act quickly, we can break through Xingqing City."
"If he moves slowly, Shi Le can rush back to rescue him, but he may return in vain."
Wu Jian very much hoped that Tuzhi would attack Xingqing City and give Xixia a hard blow.
Long Chen said: "I told Tu Zhi to look at the situation and let him make his own decisions. It would be best if he can break through. If it's too late, retreat. There is no need to fight Shi Le head-on."
Long Chen's purpose was just to divert Shi Le's army away and create a fighting opportunity for Jade Buddha Pass.
"The soldiers and horses at Jade Buddha Pass should retreat."
"No, they will not retreat. Kongji will definitely let Deshan defend and not fight us."
"Then what should we do? Just confront each other like this? This is a good opportunity."
Monk Kongji is not here, and only old monk Deshan is alone. This is the best time to fight.
"Yes, fighter opportunities are rare and cannot be missed. If he doesn't fight, then force him to fight."
"How do you force him to fight?"
"The mountain people have their own clever ideas."
Long Chen asked Wu Jian to order the three armies to have a decisive battle with Xixia tomorrow, and the Long Family Army was all ready for battle.
In the handsome mansion.
Bai Tingting and Captain Leng Yu spoke eloquently, and Di Lingyi and the others were speechless.
"Dazhu Kingdom is really... a man of great skill and bravery, he dares to pass through the middle of an army of 200,000 people."
Zhang Man was stunned when he heard this.
Emperor Lingyi also said: "This Long Cheng'en is extremely brave."
Bai Tingting said: "We were quite frightened at that time. Only the adults looked like they were playing games with the world."
Zhang Qian complained: "Maybe he is also panicking and is just pretending to be calm."
Di Lingyi nodded and said: "Yes, it is completely possible!"
Captain Leng Yu said: "I learned a lot from following Dazhu Kingdom in this circle, including how to raid, how to intersect, and how to get through."
Now thinking about the battles of the past few days, Leng Yu feels like he is in a dream.
"Captain Leng has done a great job this time. I, the princess, will now promote you to Major General."
Leng Yu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your support."
Emperor Lingyi was very happy and asked the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion to tell the story of the battle to the entire army to boost their morale.
After everyone dispersed, Emperor Lingyi entered Long Chen's room, where Long Chen was sleeping soundly.
"Pretending to sleep?"
Hearing the noise, Long Chen opened his eyes and said drowsily: "What are you going to do...I'm sleepy, I'll give you a break tomorrow..."
Emperor Lingyi originally wanted to discuss the follow-up battle strategy, but he didn't expect Long Chen to be so angry.
"Shameless!"
Emperor Lingyi was so angry that he turned around and left.
....
Outside the pass, Chiyan Temple.
Hong Zheng rode back to the temple and found Monk Deshan.
"Master."
"Why are you the only one coming back? Where is senior brother?"
Hong Zheng shook his head and said: "Something is going wrong. The barbarian army of 200,000 troops attacked Xingqing City. The uncle followed the king and returned to the defense."
Deshan was horrified and asked: "Aren't we rounding up Long Cheng'en? Why did the barbarians attack him again?"
Hong Zheng sighed and said, "Master, I will tell you slowly."
Hong Zheng explained the cause and effect in detail, and Deshan was confused when he heard it.
"how so?"
Hong Zheng was speechless and said: "That Long Cheng'en is really too treacherous. Master fell into his trap many times. Even the Panhe Palace was burned down and all the gold, silver and jewels were looted."
"When we caught up with Long Chengen, he had already gone up the mountain and we watched helplessly as he ran away."
For this decisive battle at Jade Buddha Pass, Shi Le mobilized the elites from all over the country, leaving the Panhe Palace almost unguarded, and Long Chen's five hundred cavalrymen were unstoppable.
Deshan was silent for a while and said: "Senior brother asked me to guard the camp because I was worried that Long Chengen would take the opportunity to make a sneak attack."
"Immediately order the three armies to defend their camps and keep your eyes open."
Hong Zheng immediately went to deliver the order.
Fuhai, the prison guard, limped over and said, "Senior brother, how about we retreat first?"
He heard it from behind just now, and he felt that the situation was extremely bad.
Deshan sighed: "It's not that I don't want to retreat, it's that I can't retreat."
"Once we retreat, Long Chengen will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue us. When the time comes, we will be defeated like a mountain."
The morale of the Xixia side was originally high, but after being killed by Long Chen for a while, the morale began to wane.
Later, they withdrew the siege and led troops to pursue him. There were bad rumors in the army.
If we retreat at this time, the whole army will think that Xixia has lost the battle, causing the whole army to collapse.
"That..."
Fuhai didn't know what to do.
Deshan said: "Just wait and see. Once the barbarians are defeated, senior brother will definitely lead troops to reinforce us. We will worry about it later."
Fuhai sighed: "This is the only way."
....
the next day.
Long Chen got up and Zhang Qian came over with some water.
"You are a general in the army, so you don't have to fetch water for me."
It's okay in Longshuai's Mansion, everyone is familiar with each other and won't say anything.
In the army, Zhang Qian was also a specially appointed general, so it was not a good idea to fetch water for Long Chen to wash his face.
"What's wrong? It's always been like this."
Zhang Qian wrung out the towel and gave it to Long Chen.
After washing their faces and having breakfast, Long Chen and Zhang Qian entered the handsome man's house.
Di Lingyi and other generals were sitting inside.
"Good morning, Your Highness Princess."
Long Chen sat down with a smile, but Di Lingyi had an angry look on his face.
"What's wrong? Who made Her Royal Highness angry?"
Long Chen felt strange, why did he offend Di Lingyi so early in the morning?
No one spoke.
Besides Long Chen, who here dares to make the princess unhappy?
"Well... let's talk about today's battle plan."
"Shi Le and Kong Ji have led their troops back to defend Xingqing City. We must seize the opportunity to defeat the Xixia army."
