From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 975

"Okay, you continue to stare at Concubine Li Gui, and report any changes at any time."

Queen Lu suspected that she was thinking too much, but she refused to let it go. She always felt that something was wrong.

Even she didn't feel right.

The maid immediately bowed and said, "Your servant obeys."

...

Zhenguo Temple.

The two sisters Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun came out of Long Chen's room and slowly walked back to their own room.

Seeing the two sisters coming back, Dugu Jiali asked with a smile, "Sisters are of the same heart, can their benefits cut gold?"

Wu Xiangyun fell on the bed and said, "I have to take a good rest, otherwise I won't be able to fight tomorrow."

Wu Chuchu sat down and drank water like a dehydrator.

"Chuchu, how much water have you lost?"

Dugu Jiali joked.

Wu Chuchu drank most of the pot of water, fell on the bed, and said, "I almost collapsed."

Dugu Jiali giggled and said, "The two sisters can't beat the husband, so please forgive me."

Wu Xiangyun said weakly: "You are amazing, I forgot what you looked like yesterday."

Dugu Jiali smiled and said, "I'm fine."

The three of them laughed and rested in the room, preparing to set off tomorrow for a decisive battle in Yangcheng.

At the foot of the mountain, Wu Jian was mobilizing troops and siege equipment.

Yangcheng was built very strong by Shile, and it is likely to fight a tough battle.

"Major General, this battle in Yangcheng may not be easy."

"The spies reported that Shi Le had withdrawn his troops back into the city and did not plan to fight us outside the city."

Long Chen came out of the room, and Wu Jian handed the latest spy report to Long Chen.

After reading the spy report, Long Chen wasn't surprised, and said: "It's wise to do this, the Xixia army's morale is scattered, if our cavalry charge in a wave outside the city, Xixia will collapse."

"Hide in the city, as long as you defend and shoot arrows, the situation is in their favor."

Wu Jian felt a headache and said, "Shi Le is doing the right thing, and we will be in trouble."

"Yang City has been built extremely solidly. If we forcibly attack the city, tens of thousands of brothers will be gone."

The last time Shi Le forcibly attacked Zhenguo Temple, the bodies that died under the city were buried in dozens of large pits.

If the Long family army stormed Yangcheng, the casualties would definitely be very heavy.

The side that attacks the city will always have to pay a greater price.

"There must be a way for a car to go to the mountain, and a straight line for a boat to reach the bridge. I don't believe it, but I can't think of a way to deal with Shi Le."

Long Chen received the spy report, thinking about how to deal with it.

Forcibly sieging the city will definitely not work, we must find a way.

At the foot of the mountain, several carriages passed by slowly, and an old groom drove several horses, pulling several carts of wine slowly to the west.

This is the old groom from the Li Family Wine Shop in Yangcheng.

The Long family army was preparing for the battle, but the old horseman was taking his time. The battle didn't seem to have any effect on him, and he didn't care.

Holding the battle report in his hand, Long Chen patrolled the army with Wu Jian.

The old horseman at the foot of the mountain drove the carriage and drifted away.

"The sun is setting and the mountain breeze is cool, the horse bows its head and the wild flowers are fragrant, and the whip is long and long."

"The sky should be the quilt, the earth should be the bed, and the beautiful lady is missing in my arms."

The old groom sang wild songs, and drove the carriage slowly westward under the setting sun.

When it was dark, the old groom returned to Yangcheng.

The barracks outside the city were empty, and braziers were burning on the walls, illuminating the surrounding walls brightly.

Xixia's army has shrunk back into the city, and there is no one outside the city.

The old groom went outside the east gate and shouted towards the city: "It's me, from the Li's wine shop."

After shouting several times, the soldiers in the city never opened the door.

"Master Jun, you need my spirits, please let me in."

The old horseman shouted bitterly, but the soldiers on the city remained indifferent.

The old horseman and the others know each other, but now is a special period, Long Chen may raid here at any time, they must be cautious.

The soldiers on the city looked at the old groom downstairs and said, "This old man is really ignorant, he is going to fight, and he dares to run outside."

"You can't say that. If he doesn't run out, we won't have a drink."

"It's not our turn to drink his wine, so it's all sent to the prefect's mansion."

The wine in Li's wine shop is good, and Shi Le likes to drink it very much.

Every time the wine arrives in the city, the guards of the prefect's mansion will buy it all up for Shi Le to drink.

"Yes, it's none of our business, I can't drink it anyway."

The soldiers ignored the old groom and let him yell out his throat outside the city.

At this time, Ma Fang rode over and climbed up the city wall. Seeing the old groom outside the city, he said, "Your Majesty is waiting for today's wine, and he hasn't opened the door yet."

Shi Le drank a lot, and other generals also drank. Li's wine shop drank almost every day.

Shi Le just finished drinking today, so he sent someone to Li's wine shop to find some wine. The steward told the guards that the old groom hadn't come back yet.

Later, he told the guards that the old groom was stopped outside the door, so Ma Fang came over.

Seeing Ma Fang's words, everyone immediately opened the gate of the city, lowered the drawbridge, and the old horseman drove the carriage rumbling in.

Ma Fang said immediately: "You don't need to go back to Li's wine shop, just go directly to the prefect's mansion."

The old groom recognized the eunuch, and said respectfully: "The father-in-law is in charge."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the prefect's mansion, and Ma Fang directed the guards to move all the wine in.

After finishing, Ma Fang took out a few ingots of silver from his sleeve and threw them to the old groom, waving him away.

The old groom pretended not to know how to count, smiled and thanked Ma Fang for the reward, and drove the carriage back to Li's wine shop.

The carriage entered the backyard, and the three of Shen Wanjin got down from under the carriage.

Patting the dust off his body, Shen Wanjin sneered and said, "This old eunuch knows how to withhold money."

The old groom presented the silver to Gan Xin, and said, "They are not good products, and you have to get used to Naka."

Gan Xin took the money and said, "Lord, let's go in and talk."

The three of them entered the room, and the old groom put the carriage away, and led the horses to the stables to be fed.

After closing the door, Heifeng poured tea for Shen Wanjin, and Gan Xin couldn't wait to smoke the shredded tobacco.

"The empty and lonely old bald donkey is back, what should we do?"

Hei Feng waited for Shen Wanjin to speak.

Shen Wanjin thought for a while, and said: "No hurry, doesn't it mean that Long Cheng'en is going to fight Yangcheng decisively, and then Shi Le, Kong Ji and Long Cheng'en will have a vicious fight."

Gan Xin took a few puffs of thick smoke and felt relieved.

"But the landlord, Shi Le's strategy is to stick to the defense. Can Long Chengen break through Yangcheng?"

Gan Xin knew how strong Yangcheng was, if Long Chen attacked recklessly, it would be difficult for the Long family army to enter even if they were all dead.

Shen Wanjin sneered and said: "Others can't do it, but Long Chengen can. This guy is full of tricks, no one in the world is more treacherous than him."

"If he wants to break through Yangcheng, he will definitely be able to break through, don't doubt it!"

Hei Feng also nodded and said: "That's right, he will definitely get what Long Chengen is targeting."

"When Long Cheng'en breaks through Yangcheng, there will be chaos. Maybe Monk Kongji will be seriously injured again. We can take advantage of it."

Shen Wanjin nodded slightly, what Hei Feng said was exactly what he thought.

"We just need to wait, wait for Long Chengen to call, we will wait for the opportunity."

Shen Wanjin was like an old fox, seeing the whereabouts of his prey.

Gan Xin nodded slightly and said: "That will be tomorrow. Tomorrow we will know whether Long Chengen can break through Yangcheng."

Shen Wanjin said: "No rush, let's eat and drink well, just wait and see the play."

Gan Xin immediately arranged dinner, and after the three of them ate, they rested in the yard, waiting for the attack of Long Chen's army.
