Chapter 488: The Real Target
Shi Le and Kongji were leading their troops to run wildly, and the waiting cavalry in front came back to report: "The king was coming, and thick smoke came out from the direction of Panhe Palace, which could be seen several miles away."
When Shi Le heard the thick smoke rise, he was heartbroken. The palace that he had spent several years to build was burned by Long Chen.
"Chasing! I want to cut Long Chengen into pieces!"
Kong Ji advised: "Your Majesty, after Long Cheng'en burned the palace, he will definitely flee east! You should not go to the palace at this time, but to block it east!"
The palace has been burned, so it doesn’t make any sense to go there. The wisest way should be to intercept it eastward.
Shi Le was angry and said angrily: "From north, south, east, every time you say it, every time you lose it!"
Kongji was scolded speechlessly.
The Privy Councilor Lu Qichang was quite calm and said, "Your Majesty, it is better for the national army to lead the troops east to block the enemy. Let's go to the palace."
Shi Le did not speak and led his troops to the palace to attack.
Kong Ji took 50,000 cavalrymen from Jade Buddha Pass to intercept them eastward.
....
After Long Chen came down from the palace, he led his cavalry to advance east with all his might. Another county government was burned on the way, deliberately causing trouble.
"Sir, have we gone back?"
The captain Leng Yu asked.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I'm back. You can't be too greedy for life. This time I've had enough money."
The soldiers behind him smiled and said, "Yes, there are so many valuable things in the palace."
Almost every soldier has a box filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
This trip was tiring and the rewards were great.
"When we go back, we can blow for the rest of our lives!"
"That's right, I snatched Shi Le's palace and sat on Shi Le's throne."
"I set the fire, and I burned his palace."
Because the battle went smoothly, I was not tired after running a long distance, but I became more energetic.
Seeing that his morale was strong, Long Chen ordered everyone to speed up.
The war horses advanced along the official road and finally arrived in front of a mountain.
"Climbing this mountain is the Ape Shark Valley."
When Long Chen set out, he thought of the way to retreat.
This road can only be crossed by small groups on foot, and the cavalry cannot pass through at all, and the large troops cannot pass through.
"Everyone dismounted and marching in hike."
Long Chen was the first to come down and threw the horse in place.
Bai Tingting and Leng Yu followed him off, and the others carried boxes and took weapons, without food.
When everyone was climbing up the ridge, they saw the Iron Harrier coming from the west, and the general led by him was Kongji.
"Sir, look, the old bald donkey in the empty and silent."
Bai Tingting pointed to the foot of the mountain and said with a smile.
Long Chen took out his telescope and saw Kong Ji lying on the horse's back. The iron kite behind him was exhausted.
"Let's go, ignore him."
Long Chen took his soldiers down the mountain, entered Yuanxiao Valley, and then headed north to return to Jade Buddha Pass.
At the foot of the mountain, Kong Ji watched Long Chen run away.
"Master, do you want to go up the mountain to chase?"
Hong Zheng was a little unwilling to accept it. This time he finally caught up with him, but he watched Long Chen run away.
"After passing this mountain, it is Yuanxiao Valley. Long Chengen killed Li Chengtong and the three powerful Martial Emperors there last year."
Hong Zheng was so scared that he was sweating all over and did not dare to talk about the pursuit.
"Then we... go back?"
Monk Kongji sighed: "What a thief, it's really difficult to deal with!"
After collecting Long Chen's five hundred horses, Monk Kongji went to Panhe Palace.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw a fierce fire on the mountain and thick smoke rolling up.
Shi Lezheng ordered a 200,000 army to put out the fire, but the fire was too fierce, and most of the palaces were burned to death.
"The King..."
Kongji saw Shi Le who was as dead ashes.
"Catch up?"
"I caught up, but Long Chengen climbed over the mountain, entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and ran away again..."
Shi Le sneer said, "We are 250,000 people, and 500 of them are led by us, which is ridiculous!"
Monk Kongji was said to have lost his face and didn't know how to answer.
At night, the fire was finally basically extinguished.
Shi Le and Kongji walked on the ruins of the palace, feeling very heavy.
"When you break through the Jade Buddha Pass, let the Eastern Zhou Dynasty pay compensation to re-educate the practice palace!"
Kongji's words are considered as comforting Shi Le.
"Yes, break through the Jade Buddha Pass and let them re-cultivate, and both people and money will be distributed from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"
Shi Le cursed viciously.
"This time, I will lead the imperial army to personally attack and break through the Jade Buddha Pass!"
Shi Le immediately ordered to move towards Jade Buddha Pass.
The army was exhausted, everyone was very tired, but no one dared to say anything.
Shi Le is angry, whoever says he is unlucky?
Lu Qichang had no choice but to gather his troops again and kill him overnight to Jade Buddha Pass.
In the middle of the night, the army advanced with torches.
Shi Le and Kongji walked slowly in front of him, and the horses under their seats could not run.
"The king, the north side reported urgently that the barbarian Shanyu Tuzhi led 200,000 troops to Xingqing City."
Lu Qichang suddenly received a war report from the north city.
Shi Le was shocked and received the battle report. It was Feiying, the magistrate of the northern county, who passed on a letter saying that the 200,000 barbarian army entered Xixia from Yuncheng, captured the county town, and was attacking towards Xingqing City.
"This dog thief, it turns out that his real goal is Xingqing City!"
Shi Le suddenly realized.
After Long Chen entered Xixia, he seemed to be running around everywhere, but his final goal was Xingqing City.
First, he made a big fuss in the hinterland, let Shi Le go out, then he captured Yuncheng, a major border defense city, created convenience for the barbarian marching, and finally avoided the pursuers and burned Panhe Palace all the way south.
At this time, Shi Le's army chased Panhe again, and the north and Xingqing City were empty, and the barbarian army could march straight in.
"National Master, have you not expected it at all!"
Shi Le Monster is empty and idiot, and he was completely unpredictable.
"I...I didn't expect this thief to be so treacherous, and he actually..."
Only then did Monk Kongji discover Long Chen's true purpose.
"Go back!"
Shi Le had no choice but to hurriedly lead his troops back to Xingqing City to defend.
If the capital of the country is captured, the face of Xixia will be gone.
Monk Kongji secretly complained and ordered Tie Yaozi to follow Shi Le back.
Kongji knew that he should go back to Jade Buddha Pass to defend, and this was the right choice.
Long Chen asked the barbarian army to attack Xingqing City, causing the situation to capture the capital of Xixia, and then the troops left Jade Buddha Pass, and Xixia lost in this battle.
However, Shi Le has been angry several times. If he doesn't follow Shi Le back, he will not be able to survive in Xixia.
Even though I knew it was a mistake to return to Xingqing City, Kongji had to do so. This is the most vicious place.
He was trapped in a traitor again!
Kong Ji secretly ordered Hong Zheng to return to Jade Buddha Pass and told Monk Deshan to stabilize the camp and never fight with Long Chen.
After receiving the order, Hong Zheng quietly left the team and headed towards Jade Buddha Pass.
....
Long Chen came out of Yuanxiao Valley and arrived at Xifeng City.
After asking for war horses for land grain, Long Chen quickly returned to Jade Buddha Pass.
Emperor Lingyi brought everyone out to greet him.
"We're finally back, we're worried about it!"
There were 500 people when they set out, and more than 450 people when they came back. The loss was so small, Di Lingyi was surprised.
"I'm back, and I'm all back with a full load!"
Long Chen pointed to the soldiers behind him, and each of them was carrying a box.
Di Lingyi said in surprise: "Where do you have so many treasures?"
