The army set out, and more than 50,000 people slowly retreated south.

The barbarians and Beidaying were in front and behind the Long Family Army, guarding against the ghost tribes to chase and kill.

During war, the most elite troops rushed in the front when attacking and stood at the back when retreating.

When they set out to fight, the barbarian army was more familiar with the grassland terrain, which made them the vanguard.

When it was time to retreat, the Long family army took on the important task of the palace rear.

Long Chen, Gan Xin and Mo Lin were in the formation, and the others were walking in front.

"The Master Ziyun and Miaoyin have already broken through, Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu have also broken through, Bai Tingting's qualifications are a little worse, Qing Yue and Xuan Yi are still almost in a hurry."

"Wu Jian also broke through, Gan Zhen showed signs of breakthrough, Han Ziping and Tang Heizi were a little bit short."

"Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er also broke through, they are the fastest."

"I heard that Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai are getting closer, and these two veterans themselves have good qualifications."

Gan Xin reported to Long Chen about his cultivation while walking.

It takes a short time, and the effect of cultivation is amazing.

Not counting the three veterans of Yuwen Kai, Long Chen also has fourteen true realm masters, and the number of generals who can fight in front of the battle has increased a lot.

When they withdraw to Yanmen Pass, there should be someone who can break through the true realm, and Shi Jingxiang also shows signs of breaking through.

The generals' cultivation level has improved, and the ghost blood and martial arts have a great effect, and the foundation they laid before is also very important.

These generals have chosen many choices, with good qualifications and solid foundations. Once they have martial arts, they will make a breakthrough naturally.

"How are you?"

Long Chen asked Gan Xin how Mo Lin’s cultivation was. Mo Lin said, “We have improved a lot, and ghost blood is really nourishing.”

Gan Xin smiled and said, "We are different from them. We drank a lot when we entered the ice field."

Each general here was assigned to three ghost soldiers, Gan Xin and Mo Lin, and they were full at that time.

Behind him, Feng He rode a horse and chased after him.

"Sir, the spies from the Ghost Clan have come and only three have been discovered."

Feng He could only say that he found three, but he didn't know how many he had come.

Gan Xin smiled and said, "It's true as expected, it's really here."

Long Chen said: "I actually sent a spy to investigate the situation first. The Martial Saint is worthy of being a veteran and doing things calmly."

The Martial Saint must have known about killing Yin Ling and Yin Wugui. His wife and daughter were killed, and the Martial Saint could still resist the impulse and did not directly send troops to attack, which shows that the Martial Saint is really very experienced.

The ghost girl is the same. The elder and the general can even calm down.

Such opponents must be extremely careful.

Feng He asked: "Sir, how do we deal with it? Should we get rid of them?"

There were only three spies, and after discovering the traces, it was not difficult to kill them.

Long Chen shook his head and said, "No, we just need to withdraw our troops as planned. Just keep an eye on them and let them inquire."

Feng He didn't understand why, but he knew that Long Chen had plans, so he stopped talking about anything.

"I keep staring."

Feng He turned around and retreated, and Long Chen continued to walk forward.

...

Capital.

In the palace, a snow eagle fell on the shelf. The female official in charge of the information immediately walked forward and took out a plate of fresh mutton to feed it. The snow eagle ate the mutton strips in big mouthfuls, and the other female official untied the reed tube on the snow eagle's legs.

The word "Dragon" was written on the reed tube. The female official knew it was Long Chen's secret letter and quickly sent it to the imperial study in Fengming Palace.

When he arrived at the door, the female official said to the maid at the door: "I received a secret letter from King Wu and asked to see the princess."

The maid immediately went in to report that Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were reviewing the memorials, and Duan Shuangshuang of the Ministry of Revenue was reporting on the supply of money and grain in front.

"The spring plowing near Linjiang City must be done well, and it is also near Jinling. The old land of Nanliang is the main producing area of ​​rice, so it cannot be neglected."

Di Yuwei looked at the account book of the Ministry of Revenue Grain and Rice and ordered.

Duan Shuangshuang said with some embarrassment: "The eldest princess, the Wei minister is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the matter of spring farming is in charge of the Si Nongqing."

The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue have their own responsibilities, so it is indeed inappropriate to let Duan Shuangshuang take charge of spring plowing.

Di Yu put down the memorial, rubbed his temples, leaned tiredly on the chair, and said, "I am confused, so I will discuss matters by the Lord Sun Lu, the Nongqing of the Sin."

He Ningxin immediately sent an order to ask his maid to summon Sun Lu, the Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, to the palace to discuss matters.

The door of the imperial study room opened, and the maid outside the door walked in and reported carefully to He Ningxin: "Mr. He, King Wu Feiying passed on the letter."

He Ning's expression frightened and immediately said, "Come in."

The maid immediately led the female official in, and He Ningxin took the reed tube and immediately presented it to Di Yuwei.

"The eldest princess, King Wu Feiying passed on the letter."

Di Yu micro-connected the reed tube and pulled out the secret letter. Di Xingwan immediately got up and walked over. The secret letter contained a line of words:

Ask Master Xuanzhen if there is any other way? Go back quickly!

After reading the secret letter, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan felt it was inexplicable and didn’t know what Long Chen was talking about?

"What's the meaning?"

Di Yu looked up and asked Di Xingwan. Di Xingwan shook her head, but she didn't know what she meant.

"How do you say "no end"?"

The first time Di Yuwei saw Long Chen talking like this, he didn't understand the meaning at all.

Di Xingwan said: "We don't understand, maybe Taoist Xuanzhen understands it."

Di Yuwei thought about it, they couldn't understand it, and Master Xuanzhen might know it.

"Tell me the order, please ask Master Xuanzhen to enter the palace."

Di Yuwei ordered He Ningxin to send someone out of the palace immediately and ask Taoist Xuanzhen to enter the palace.

Di Yu slowed down slightly, He Ningxin stood behind him and gently rubbed his temples.

Di Xingwan returned to his seat and sat down, saying to Duan Shuangshuang: "The money and food in Yanmen Pass must be guaranteed. The weather is getting hotter and the clothes, armor and shoes are about to be replaced. Please check with the Ministry of Works."

Duan Shuangshuang said: "I understand that the Ministry of Works is already preparing."

Xu Ming, the Minister of Works, was brought out by Long Chen. Without the princess’ instructions, the supplies for spring and summer are already being prepared in a hurry.

Outside the door, the maid informed that the Si Nongqing Sun Lu had arrived.

Di Yuwei asked Sun Lu to come in, and the maid led Sun Lu in and said, "Old minister Sun Lu, I have seen two princesses."

Di Xingwan asked the maid to bring a chair over, and Sun Lu thanked him for his seat.

"How is the spring plowing in Nanliang?"

Di Xingwan asked his maid to give him tea again, and Sun Lu immediately said: "Everything is normal. When the Nanliang conquered Nanliang last year, King Wu established a corporal officer in various places, and it is still in use now."

Di Xingwan said: "The rice in Nanliang is very important. It must be enough for local people to eat, not cause famine, and also have surplus grain to supply military supplies. This matter should not be neglected."

Long Chen was very kind in his work, and he never ran out of his waters and forced the people to pay food.

Last year, when the Nanliang war was in a war, Li Chengdao did things too much, and the people were exploited once and needed to recover.

After the grain harvest, the local people must be satisfied first to avoid wars in front and trouble in the rear.

Sun Lu said: "King Wu used the method of garrisoning to confiscate all the land of the local clans and established official fields. The food of these official fields is enough for military rations on the front line."

When attacking Nanliang, Long Chen destroyed several major cities.

These clans have tens of hectares of fertile land, and their families have a lot of food and gold and silver. If they destroy them, they can make a fortune and get a lot of fertile land.

Di Yuwei sighed: "King Wu has a profound thought. With the power of the military at that time, he destroyed the family, which can not only establish official fields, but also eliminate hidden dangers."

The family forces have their own private armed forces, and keeping them is a huge hidden danger. If they are eradicated, they will be common people in the country and cannot cause trouble.

A maid came in and reported: "Princess, Taoist Xuanzhen is here."

Di Xingwan said to Sun Lu: "Mr. Sun is troubled by the matter of spring farming. You should go back first."

Sun Lu stood up and left, and went outside the door to see Taoist Master Xuanzhen waiting.

Sun Lu took a look and slowly withdrew from the palace.
