When Long Chen arrived at the empress's residence, the weather was very hot. The empress only wore a gauze dress, and even the bellyband felt unnecessary.
The empress held a cup of iced tea in the well water in her hand. After drinking it, she still felt irritated and thirsty.
"The summer in the capital is also hot, but not this hot."
After the empress finished drinking the ice tea, she picked up a fan and fanned herself wildly.
Yingfeng asked the palace maid to fan herself faster.
"There is still water vapor in Nanliang, so it is muggy. It gets cooler after the sun goes down in the capital."
Yingfeng asked someone to get a cold drink again.
The north is relatively dry, so as long as you're not under the sun, you won't feel too hot.
Nanliang is different. The water vapor is evaporating and it is very hot from morning to night. Especially the surface of the body feels wrapped in a layer of water vapor, making it uncomfortable.
Outside the door, Long Chen walked in with Xu Feng's letter of challenge. The empress was taking off her dress, wearing only a golden bellyband.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen turned around and wanted to leave. The empress stopped Long Chen and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you running? Come back!"
Long Chen had no choice but to walk into the room. The empress was sitting on the couch, with her dress underneath and her bellyband swaying slightly as the empress fanned her.
The empress has a very good figure, both of them are very big, and they have real material under their clothes.
"What are you doing? Run away when you see me."
When the empress saw Long Chen, her heart became even more upset.
Long Chen was afraid that the empress would mess up, so he immediately got down to business and reported: "Zhong Wucheng has sent a letter of war, and General Xu Feng, who protects the dragon, has named his name to fight the Long Family Army."
"Wei Chen feels that this matter is strange, so he came here to report it."
Yingfeng came over and presented the letter of challenge to the empress.
The empress accepted the letter of challenge. After reading it, she felt a little strange.
"Xu Feng's cultivation has broken through to the real realm?"
The empress asked curiously.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Probably not. If Xu Feng breaks through to the real realm, then his cultivation will surpass Li Chengdao. The ghost will definitely take Xu Feng into the battle instead of putting him in the rear."
True realm is the highest level of cultivation. If Xu Feng is a master of true realm, the ghost fetus cannot be shelved and will definitely be brought to Linhu City to fight as a vanguard.
Therefore, Xu Feng's cultivation should be at Emperor Zun.
The empress felt strange and said: "The emperor's cultivation level dares to take the initiative to issue a challenge to you. Why does he have it?"
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know, Wei Chen also feels strange, what on earth is Xu Feng thinking."
The empress put away the gauntlet and said, "Call the others over and discuss it together."
Long Chen said: "Wei Chen has summoned them to discuss matters."
The empress stood up, and Yingfeng brought some clothes and put them on.
You can wear whatever you want in the room, but it's different when you go outside. You have to dress formally.
Long Chen watched the empress change clothes from the side. The empress deliberately untied her bellyband and changed into other clothes in front of her.
Long Chen was drooling after seeing this...
After changing clothes, he arrived at the meeting hall and all the generals stood up to pay their respects.
"You know everything."
The empress sat down, and Long Chen sat next to her.
Gongsun Linglong was a little angry and said: "You dare to be so arrogant at this time, I am willing to lead troops to attack Zhongwu City."
Gan Zhen also bowed and said, "We are willing to lead the army."
The empress asked Wu Jian: "You know Xu Feng, what do you think?"
Wu Jian said: "Xu Feng was originally Li Chengdao's family general. He was promoted to command the army when he was in Qingren County. This man is arrogant and extremely loyal to Li Chengdao."
"Weichen feels that Xu Feng's move is to boost the morale of Nanliang and prove that there are people in Nanliang who dare to fight against the Long Family Army."
Wu Jian thought about it for a few days and finally came to this conclusion.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "It makes sense...but, in order to fight for a breath, Xu Feng is willing to risk his life?"
Outside the door, He Juntao hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have just received news that Yan Xi and Wu Hongying have led an army of 300,000 to besiege Beiling City, and Li Xinan is fighting hard."
Everyone was shocked. Guitai had just experienced a huge defeat, and he actually sent troops to besiege Beiling City?
"Beiling City has 80,000 elite soldiers from Caishi City. It is not a problem to rely on the city to defend it, but why suddenly attack Beiling City?"
Long Chen was not in a hurry. When he captured Beiling City last time, the city walls and fortifications were not seriously damaged, and Li Xiannan was able to hold on with the help of the city.
Gongsun Linglong said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I will go to reinforce the immortal man."
The empress did not speak, she waited for Long Chen to speak.
"Are there only Yan Xi and Wu Hongying?"
Long Chen asked He Juntao, and He Juntao said: "The news sent back is this, only the two of them command the army."
"The spies reported that after Yan Xi arrived with 300,000 troops, he immediately besieged them on all sides and did not fight against the generals at all."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Guitai has come to his senses. He wants to take advantage of the large number of people to engage in a melee. 300,000 people will besiege 80,000 people. Even if Beiling City cannot be captured, it will still consume troops."
"Xu Feng issued a gauntlet in Zhongwu City. He wanted the Black Armored Army and the Long Family Army to have a decisive battle. The purpose was the same. He wanted to fight a war of attrition and consume our troops."
From the situations in the two places, Long Chen saw through the ghost's plan.
The empress asked: "Then how do you think we should deal with it? Beiling City can be defended, and Li Xiannan is under great pressure."
Long Chen said: "Gui Tai wanted to win in a melee with a large number of people. He forgot one thing. There are only main generals in Nanliang and there are no middle-level generals. No matter how many people there are, as long as they are defeated by elites, the Nanliang army will fall into chaos."
Without a general to lead, no matter how many people there are, they are just a mob.
As long as elite troops appear on the battlefield, Nanliang's army will be defeated and fall into chaos.
Gongsun Linglong stood up and said: "I will lead the troops and beat them to death with my two hammers!"
The empress frowned and said: "Yan Xi and Wu Hongying are both emperors, and no one here can compete with him."
In fact, there was only one, Wu Jian, and he was afraid of being besieged when he went alone.
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "Wei Chen suggested that Wu Jian should command ten thousand troops, and Gan Zhen should lead the rebel army as the vanguard."
Gongsun Linglong said excitedly: "Damn eunuch, where is my mother!"
Long Chen said: "Linglong, let's go together, and then bring Meng Yidao, Zhuang Ling'er, scholar Li, Jing Yan and the others with us."
"The ants will bite the elephant to death. When the time comes, Uncle Wu will entangle Yan Xi, and the others will besiege Wu Hongying. They will also bring the Demon Suppressing Stone and shoot him with random arrows."
They use soldiers to engage in melee, and Long Chen uses generals to engage in melee.
The empress thought it was feasible and said: "That's it, Wu Jian will immediately order his troops and set off."
Wu Jian stood up and bowed: "The last general has given orders."
Gan Zhen and Gongsun Linglong immediately found someone to set off.
"What should we do with Zhongwucheng?"
Xu Feng's letter of challenge has not yet been decided. Long Chen said with a smile: "Ignore it for now. If I lead troops to attack Zhongwucheng and Guitai takes the opportunity to attack Linhu City, our fight will be in vain."
"First resolve the crisis in Beiling City, and then consider Zhongwucheng."
If Long Chen impulsively leads his troops to attack Zhongwu City and Guitai takes the opportunity to surprise Linhu City, the empress will be unable to resist and can only retreat to Xianhe City.
Then, Guitai sent his troops north again to attack Beiling City.
In this way, Long Chen couldn't get anything.
Therefore, at this time, safety is the priority and we will hold our ground for the time being.
