From eunuch to emperor

"King Wu, all generals, the bath is ready."

Ye Chang winked and smirked outside.

Wu Chuchu said with a cold face: "What bath is ready? Why are you laughing!"

Ye Chang said hehe: "General Wu, it doesn't matter if we men don't take a bath, but you are different."

"I heard that you are coming, we not only built a house, but also specially built a bath."

"King Wu is with us and has never been washed. The generals are here, just to wash."

The others were a little embarrassed and didn't speak.

But Long Chen said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, where is the bathing pool built?"

Ye Chang immediately said: "In the north of the mountain, a well has been dug there, and the water is not bad."

Longcheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Chang smiled and backed away.

Zhang Qian complained: "Husband, take a look, everyone knows about it."

Bai Tingting stuck out her tongue and said: "Good things don't go out, but ugly things spread thousands of miles. The Long family army knows that my husband likes to take a bath."

Long Chen smiled and said: "What kind of scandal is it that I take a bath with my wife? It's not stealing or snatching."

"Let's go, I haven't washed for a long time."

Long Chen dug out his clothes, and led Zhang Qian and the others down the mountain.

To the north, a simple brick house was covered with steam, and a dozen female soldiers were heating hot water.

It is said to be a bathroom, but it is actually a big pool.

On the battlefield, it's good to be able to wash, and you can't pick and choose.

Zhang Qian untied the armor for Long Chen, and untied the clothes that had been worn for many days.

"Husband, you are covered with dirt."

Bai Tingting walked over and saw something black on Long Chen's body, which was left by blood stains.

"There were too many people killed in the night attack last time, and then I was busy deploying defenses, so I didn't care about it."

"Come, wash your husband."

Long Chen picked up Bai Tingting and got off the pond.

Taking a bath for the first time in so many days, Long Chen leaned comfortably on the edge of the pool.

Bai Tingting picked up the silk scarf and scrubbed it for Long Chen, washing off a lot of blood.

"How many people have you killed, so many blood clots."

Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting rubbed for Long Chen together.

"I don't remember, I killed anyone I saw that night, and when I cleaned up...more than 500 people, my black sword was cut out."

Zhang Qian simply washed herself, then swam over, took Bai Tingting's silk scarf, and said, "Let me come, and you wash it too."

Bai Tingting handed the silk scarf to Zhang Qian, and squatted beside her to wash it herself.

Zhang Qian wiped Long Chen clean, and said: "I heard about the situation at that time, it was too risky for my husband to do that."

"If you are blocked on the top of the mountain, you will be in a desperate situation."

Wu Chuchu also said: "Yes, that's really risky. If the Xixia army fights to the death, 1000 people will definitely not be able to say [-]."

"This side can't be defeated, if Deshan returns to besiege, it will be death."

Long Chen said with a smile: "Put them in a dead place and then live, sink in a dead place and survive, I expect to be able to kill them."

The last time they broke through Zhenguo Temple, these people were afraid of Long Chen from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as you kill hard, the enemy will be terrified, and the army will collapse without fighting spirit.

"You have too much dirt on you."

Wu Xiangyun scrubbed a black stain vigorously.

"Hiss...it's not a stain. I've been with me for so long, and I don't even know what it is."

Long Chen hugged Wu Xiangyun and squeezed it, Wu Xiangyun suddenly realized, giggled and said: "Oh, so it wasn't, I misread."

Dugu Jiali smiled and said: "This little girl did it on purpose, clean her up."

Long Chen hugged Wu Xiangyun, said with a smile: "They all said to punish you, don't blame me."

Wu Xiangyun chuckled and said, "Husband, please forgive me..."

...

More than 150 miles to the west of Zhenguo Temple, there is a big city with a wall more than ten meters high, and the guards on the city are waiting.

This is Yangcheng, the place where Shile met soldiers.

Troops gathered here one after another, and tents were pitched outside the city.

In the prefect's mansion in the city, Shi Le sat at the main seat, and on both sides sat the prince Shi Haoran, the national teacher Kongji, the privy envoy Lu Qichang, the commander of the army Li Chenglie, the hussar general Fu Yong, and the Yangcheng prefect Ma Wenshan.

Behind Monk Kong Ji stood two menacing monks, these two were newly trained disciples from Zhaoti Monastery: empty-hearted and pure-hearted.

Further on, there are two more people standing, they are Fu Hui and Ma Xing.

They were obviously disgusted and stood in an inconspicuous corner.

After Shi Le arrived in Yangcheng, his anger subsided a lot. Fu Hui and Ma Xing were just scolded, and they didn't even hit the board.

"Army from all over the country has arrived one after another. Except for those from the west that have not yet arrived, and the defenders of Yuncheng from the north to guard against the barbarians, the others have arrived, with a total strength of 32."

The privy envoy Lu Qichang reported the situation of the meeting.

Shi Le was not satisfied, and asked: "Why is there only 32 troops in the whole country?"

In Shi Le's impression, all men from Xixia can serve as soldiers, because these men are from Zhaoti Temple, and they are tall and big, suitable for soldiers and wars.

Back then, Shi Le saw that some people in Xingqing City were thin and small, and even disabled.

Shi Le felt that these short and disabled people were waste, wasting Xixia's food and unable to serve the country.

He discussed with Monk Kong Ji, and finally made a plan to seek a son.

Zhaoti Temple has always had people seeking children, but Zhaoti Temple does not provide child-seeking services.

Later, there was a court for seeking children, which specially selected strong and strong monks to beg children for women.

Lu Qichang said: "Your Majesty, the losses from the last battle have not been recovered, and some losses have been lost in the battle with the Tianxiahui."

"Also, the battle of Zhenguo Temple this time has caused too many losses."

In the battle of Zhenguo Temple, the loss was 17, plus the 32 assembled here, it was already almost 50 troops.

Quantitatively speaking, there are quite a few.

Among the three countries, Xixia is the smallest, has the smallest population, and the weakest national strength, but the number of conscripts is quite high, and the proportion is very high.

The proportion of military service is high, and the soldiers are drawn from the most elite population, and all the strong and strong are taken away, and food has to be paid to support the soldiers, and the burden on the people is heavy.

The best men died on the battlefield, the families of the people were emptied, and the war caused a great loss to the country.

Shi Le was very dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to say: "If there are not enough men, then form a women's corps. There are women soldiers in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and they are very powerful."

Lu Qichang said helplessly: "There has always been a tradition of women serving in the military in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The empress herself is a woman, and the two princesses, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi, are good at fighting. That's why the women's army is so powerful."

"And I have never had any female soldiers in Great Xia, so I am afraid that the temporarily formed regiment..."

Xixia has no tradition of women's corps, and there are no female generals who can lead them.

If the current general is in charge, it will definitely be a mess.

Shi Le said coldly: "Jing Xiang is a good candidate, you should think about it."

Shi Jingxiang is the daughter of Shi Le, the second princess of Xixia, who likes to dance with guns and clubs, and usually hangs out in the military camp, and is very good at riding and shooting.

Lu Qichang said nothing helplessly.

The eldest son Shi Haoran said: "Private envoy, what my father said is true. Now that the country is in danger, everyone is responsible. The women of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can fight, why can't the women of my Great Xia?"

"Second sister has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. It is feasible for her to form an army."

Lu Qichang saw that Shi Le and Shi Haoran both said the same thing, so he couldn't object any longer, and said: "My minister leads the decree, immediately let the Privy Council and the second princess form a female soldier army."

Shi Le nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, let's do it earlier."

"How is the situation at Zhenguo Temple?"

Li Chenglie, the Commander in charge of scouting the news, said: "Long Cheng'en has already occupied the Zhenguo Temple, and he has stationed [-] troops in the Zhenguo Temple, and he himself serves as the commander."

"Occupied the Chiyan Temple again, deployed [-] cavalry, and the commanders were Wu Jian and Tang Heizi."

"Zhenguo Temple and Chiyan Temple are the horns of each other, supporting each other."

Shi Le slowly calculated in his mind.

The 30 Long Family Army guarded the Zhenguo Temple. If there is a strong attack, all [-] troops will rush forward.

But if they attack Zhenguo Temple with all their strength, the cavalry of Chiyan Temple will surely attack from behind.

Zhenguo Temple is a tough one, but it's a pity that Deshan just lost it.

Shi Le wished that Deshan would be beaten to ashes.

At this time, a waiter rode to the door and said: "There is an urgent report from Zhenguo Temple!"
