Gongsun Linglong made great achievements, and the new officials were tricked by her and won a lot of praise.
After entering the city, Long Chen warmly entertained Baili Bing and the officials in the main hall.
After the banquet, Long Chen and Baili Bing entered the room to discuss business.
"Congratulations to King Wu for your great achievements. This battle is enough to shine through in history."
Baili Bing congratulates again.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Fortunately, thanks to God's help, His Majesty's support, and the concerted efforts of all my colleagues in the court, we have achieved what we have today."
"I just achieve things because of people, and the credit belongs to everyone."
Baili Bing admired and said: "King Wu is not proud of his great achievements, I admire him."
If Sedum had destroyed Xixia, its tail would have been raised to the sky.
Long Chen was very humble and not arrogant at all. Baili Bing admired him sincerely.
A person's arrogance is related to his mind.
Jing Tianlie's ambition was just to marry the princess and control the politics of the Zhou Dynasty, nothing more.
Long Chen is different. His goal is to become emperor. This little credit is nothing, so naturally he won't take credit and be arrogant.
To look at a person's mind, you need to look at what he is proud of.
Some people are complacent when they buy a car and take a photo as their profile picture. Such people will never become successful.
"Now that Baili Shangshu is here, I can take charge and return to the court."
Long Chen did not continue to talk about his achievements.
Baili Bing said: "Wouldn't King Wu stay here for a little longer? I'm new here and I don't know many things."
Long Chen said with a smile: "Master Shangshu is too modest. You have been in charge of the civil service for decades and are experienced in personnel appointments. There is no need for my advice."
"Furthermore, some people in the DPRK say that I support my military self-respect and have evil intentions. If I don't return to the DPRK, I'm afraid my spine will be broken."
It was Wang Wei who said this, but what Long Chen wanted to say was not just Wang Wei, there were people like Wang Wei.
Baili Bing smiled awkwardly and said: "There will always be rumors. King Wu has done this great work, and there are many jealous people. It's okay if the Holy One doesn't believe it."
Long Chen said with a smile: "It's difficult. Three people become tigers, a lot of people talk about gold, a thousand people point out, and it ends without a cure. I'd better go back earlier."
"Before I leave, I want to tell you some things. The Xixia Dynasty can use it as much as possible. They know the local customs and people, and they can also win over some people."
"Officials who arrived in the local area must do less corvee and less tax, or even be exempted from rent and tax for the past few years. Xixia is already barren, and Shi Le did not spare the people's efforts, so the people actually lived a very hard life."
"There is also the northwest direction. Please pay attention at all times. Shi Le once sent Honglu Temple Minister and Pu Xuan as envoys to the Us State to ask for help, but they never came back."
"It's okay if you die, but if reinforcements are brought, we will be in trouble, so don't be careless!"
Baili Bing nodded and said: "King Wu is right, I remember it."
Long Chen said: "There is nothing else, I will return to the court today."
Baili Bing was surprised and said: "So urgent?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Go back earlier and stop the rumors."
Baili Bing smiled and said, "I wish King Wu a safe journey."
Long Chen immediately summoned the generals, especially Zhu Yong and Hu Jie, who wanted to return to the capital for canonization.
The Long family army had already made preparations to leave. After receiving the general's order, they immediately returned to the court.
The army set off in the evening. After the sun set, Long Chen took advantage of the moonlight to hurry on his way.
Bai Tingting was a little confused and asked: "Sir, is it necessary to be in such a hurry? Traveling all night?"
Long Chen said: "The ministers in the court have already said that I refuse to return to the capital and will establish myself as king in Dingxi County. If I don't go back, I will really become a rebel."
Gongsun Linglong was not angry and cursed: "These dogs, we are fighting desperately outside, and they are gossiping in the court, go back and beat them to death with a hammer!"
Zhang Qian smiled and said: "If you hit it with the hammer, you won't kill any of them."
Gongsun Linglong said angrily: "It would be best to smash them all to death!"
Bai Tingting said: "You are killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
Bai Tingting's father Li Junjun was also in the court. According to Gongsun Linglong, Li Junjun would also have to be beaten to death.
"It's all just angry words, cough cough"
Wu Jian laughed at the side.
Long Chen heard Wu Jian coughing and frowned: "Old Wu, are you okay?"
Wu Jian patted his chest and said: "It's okay. I drank too much a few nights ago and forgot to cover myself with a quilt when I went to sleep. I just caught the wind and cold occasionally, cough cough."
Long Chen was very worried and immediately found a pill for Wu Jian to take.
"Sir, it's really okay. Marching and fighting, this is nothing."
Wu Jian was so careless that he didn't care, Long Chen said displeasedly: "There's so much nonsense, eat it!"
Wu Jian laughed and took the medicine, and the army continued to move forward.
Cavalry and infantry are fast, but artillery is slow.
The weather was still dry at this time, and although the road was bumpy and bumpy, it was not bad to walk on. Long Chen wanted to go back before the autumn rain.
Along the way, Wu Jian's cough didn't get better, and he ended up coughing all night long!
Long Chen had been accompanying Wu Jian and boiled the medicine himself, but the effect was very poor.
When the army arrived at Guancheng, the troops continued to move forward, while Long Chen and Wu Jian rested temporarily in the city.
"What's the problem, General Wu? Why is it getting worse and worse?"
Bai Tingting asked worriedly.
The military doctor shook his head and said: "I am infected with wind and cold, but wind and cold are not the root cause. I am afraid that I am infected with evil poison!"
In ancient times, viruses and bacteria were not known and they were called evil poisons.
In ancient times, there were no antibiotics, and infection with viruses and bacteria was very dangerous.
Zhang Qian asked with a worried look: "Can it be cured?"
The military doctor sighed: "I'll try my best!"
Zhang Qian said: "General Wu is very important to King Wu, you must cure him!"
In the end, there were only two people left out of the 100,000 Long family troops. The relationship between Wu Jian and Long Chen was very different.
These confidantes are irreplaceable.
The military doctor sighed helplessly: "I will try my best."
The military doctor prescribed medicine, and Long Chen prepared the medicine himself and stayed with Wu Jian day and night.
Zhang Qian and others had seen Wu Jian's condition getting worse and worse several times.
Returning to the tent, Wu Chuchu sighed: "If something happens to Old Wu, my husband will definitely be hit hard."
Dugu Jiali sighed: "Look, my husband has barely slept these days."
Everyone sighed
Zhang Qian said: "It will get better, don't think so bad, just go to sleep."
As night fell, Wu Jian's coughing sound came intermittently.
The next morning.
Zhang Qian was awakened by the sound of banging wood.
Rubbing her eyes, Zhang Qian put on her clothes. When she walked outside, Zhang Qian was stunned.
Long Chen held a hammer and nailed the wooden boards into a coffin.
"Old Wu Ta"
Zhang Qian ran over in a hurry and asked with a trembling voice.
Wu Jian is Long Chen's confidant, and he is also a comrade-in-arms and close friend with them.
Long Chen didn't say anything, but hammered away.
Bai Tingting and others also woke up, and when they saw the coffin, everyone cried.
Without saying a word, Long Chen worked from morning to night to make a coffin, then went back to the room and picked up Wu Jian, who was fully armored.
After carefully placing the coffin, Long Chen placed the nine-ring sword in Wu Jian's arms.
After looking at it for a long time, Long Chen covered it and drove in copper nails.
"You go first, I will reunite Lao Wu with his brothers."
Long Chen put the coffin on the carriage and set off to Bailang Mountain overnight.
"Sister Qian, us"
Zhao Ying looked at Long Chen's retreating back, tears streaming down her face.
Zhao Ying was not familiar with Wu Jian, but the sad atmosphere infected her.
"Go back"
Zhang Qian wiped her tears, looked at the night sky, and sighed helplessly.
Everyone immediately packed up their things and set off to the east.
Long Chen pulled the coffin to Bailang Mountain, and it was almost dawn.
Long Chen drew his sword and pried open the lid. Wu Jian was still sleeping soundly.
"Old Wu, wake up!"
Long Chen yawned and walked all night, feeling terribly sleepy.
"This old Wu likes to sleep in coffins!"
Feng He came over with a smile and stood beside the coffin jokingly.
Wu Jian slowly opened his eyes, stretched and said, "I have been pretending to be sick for so long. I have to cough every night and barely sleep."
Climbing out of the coffin, Wu Jian drank some water, sat on the carriage and yawned.
"Is your stuff ready?"
Long Chen asked Feng He.
Feng He said: "It's been prepared for a long time!"
Feng He took a pair of armor that was the same as Wu Jian's, and a highly imitated nine-ring sword.
Another corpse similar to Wu Jian's was found and put into the coffin.
Hundreds of thousands of people died here, and it would be too easy to find a corpse.
"Old Wu, if you die here today, there will be no one like you in the future."
Feng He teased while throwing things away.
Wu Jian was unhappy when he heard this and cursed: "You're the one who died here."
Feng He did not argue with Wu Jian, so he threw the things into the coffin, placed the coffin on the pyre, and lit a fire.
