Chapter 388 Ask for help, ask for help

"Reporting to Your Highness, the person who reported the victory had left half an hour ago, should we send someone to chase him back?" one of the generals reported.

"Chasing? This place is only tens of miles away from Chang'an, so we can't catch up. Forget it, I will write a letter in hand and send it to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

Inside Chang'an City.

Ever since Emperor Li Er came to power, Chang'an has been implementing a curfew system. After the lights are turned on at night, the streets are empty.Everyone is at home, or hanging out in restaurants, in short, they can't go to the street.

In the Lizheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Li Er stood at the door with his clothes on, looking west constantly, but in the quiet night, he was disappointed every time he looked.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go back and rest." Empress Changsun walked over slowly.

"Hey, it's been two days, and I don't know if Goro and the others have encountered locusts. How can I sleep?"

The queen said with a smile: "Thousands of troops can be repelled by talking and laughing, let alone locusts? Trust Goro!"

Li Er smiled wryly and shook his head: "Although that is the case, locusts are natural disasters after all. In the face of natural disasters, when manpower is limited, I always have no idea. Go to sleep first, don't catch a cold when you are pregnant, I will wait a little longer Wait. Huh? Maid Guanyin, you, did you hear anything?"

"Sound? No, besides the insignificant beeping sound, there is also the croaking of insects and frogs."

"Hey, maybe I had hallucinations in anticipation of the great victory, and I couldn't help hearing the good news." Li Er couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, go to sleep, and send a fast horse to investigate tomorrow."

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded, and the distance to the Lizheng Hall was getting closer and closer. Li Er looked towards the corridor, and the figure of the servant Gao appeared. Seeing that the empress was still awake, Lao Gao let out a sigh of relief, " Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is news from the front line, great victory, great victory in the first battle!"

"Great victory? Really? So I wasn't hallucinating just now?" Li Er asked in surprise.

Hallucinations?What auditory hallucination?
The servant, Lao Gao, respectfully submitted the victory document, "This old slave happened to bump into the messenger at the palace gate."

Where did he just hit?It was obvious that he was staring at the door on purpose, the emperor couldn't sleep with worry, how could he not share the master's worries as a personal servant?
After reading the victory report quickly, Li Erlian shouted three times, and won the first battle. He only used [-] soldiers and horses, plus [-] chickens, ducks and geese to repel the locusts. It seems that this method is really effective. From now on, locust plague?Hehe, it's just the rations of common people's chickens, ducks and geese.

"Go, pass this good news to the officials of all ministries, so that they can also feel reassured..."

Empress Changsun tugged at her husband's sleeve, "Erlang, it's late at night, why bother all the officials? It's the same if I announce the victory tomorrow."

"Hahahaha, well, with this good news, I can finally sleep with peace of mind." With a wave of the servant Gao, Li Er took his wife's hand and went back to the bedroom.

With the hard-won sleep, Li Er fell asleep quickly, and soon began to snore slightly with a smile on his face.He hadn't fallen asleep for several days because of the locusts. Empress Changsun saw it in her eyes and was anxious. At this moment, her joy was no less than that of her husband.

The rapid sound of horseshoes came from far to near. Under the dark night, the guards at the gate of Chang'an became impatient, wondering what kind of quack man, so blind, came to the city on a single horse in the middle of the night?Isn't this tossing the grandpas?No matter how anxious you are, the door will not be opened until tomorrow morning to let you in.

"Report, urgent report from the front line, His Royal Highness King Qin's handwritten letter is urgently submitted to His Majesty!" A hurried shout came from the city.

The guard at the top of the city was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted suspiciously: "Hey, the people under the city, haven't they reported the victory before? Why do you report it again?"

"The last general is not reporting victory, but asking for help! The locust plague is coming so fiercely, His Highness personally ordered to ask for help overnight! Open the city gate quickly and let me in. No one can afford to delay the military situation!"

What?help?

Don't be so nonsense, just reported a big victory, and now you are asking for help?How can it be?None of the defenders on the top of the city believed it, so the lieutenant directly ordered to draw their bows and set their arrows, "Nonsense! The front line is clearly victorious, but you come to ask for help right after you. I think you want to sneak into the city and become a spy. What are you doing?" Who is it? Tell me the truth!"

"You bastard! How is this reasonable? Let today's general defending the city come out. This general, the fifth-rank general of the Xuanjia Army, and Qi Sanjia, the deputy general of His Royal Highness Qin's personal guard, dare to neglect your duties and delay the military opportunity? Carefully follow your military law!" The people under the city He cursed angrily.

What, what? ?From the Xuanjia Army?King Qin's personal guard lieutenant?You, do you have tokens?

Qi Sanjia suppressed his anger, tore off his waist card, and used a unique hidden weapon stunt, the token flew straight to the top of the city, Dang!With a muffled sound, it was directly nailed to the wooden pillar at the head of the city, penetrating three points into the wood.This hand instantly shocked everyone.

"Hiss! It's really the Xuanjia Army. Quickly, quickly open the city gate, General Qi, the villain has no eyes, misunderstood the general, and ask the general to forgive me, I don't know what happened on the front line? Why did you just report the victory and then ask for help... ..."

"Noisy, don't ask too much about military affairs, just keep your door!" After finishing speaking with a cold face, Qi Sanjia rode his horse and galloped into Chang'an Street.

Outside the Lizheng Palace, the servant Gao Gao was sweating coldly, looking at the urgent report in his hand, with Qi Sanjia beside him, he hesitated again and again, but bravely knocked on the door.

Empress Changsun was the first to wake up, "Who is knocking on the door?"

"Reporting to your mother, you are a slave. His Royal Highness King Qin has an urgent letter to enter the palace. There is an accident at the front line. I wonder if His Majesty will sleep..."

"Your Majesty just fell asleep, just wait a moment! Erlang, Erlang, wake up..."

"Don't make trouble, fried locusts are delicious..." Li Er was still dreaming about fried locusts.

Qi Sanjia almost laughed out loud, but was glared back by the servant Lao Gao.

After a while, Li Er, who was disturbed from his dream, came out with a gloomy face. The servant, Lao Gao, bowed and handed over the secret letter without saying a word, and then stood aside and held the lamp.

After reading the secret letter, Li Er immediately sobered up, and he no longer felt sleepy, "Where is the person who reported the letter?"

"Here, Qi Sanjia, the last general of the Xuanjia Army, pays his respects to His Majesty!"

Li Er said eagerly: "Tell me about today's battle in detail, and King Qin's inference about the next locust attack, without missing a single word!"

After listening to Qi Sanjia's description, Li Er made a prompt decision, "Come here, beat the Jujiang drum, and order the officials above the fifth rank of the six departments to enter the palace immediately."

Because of Li Yuanying's two letters in Chang'an City, countless people will not be able to sleep tonight.

In the front camp, Li Yuanying still rewarded the banquet, but except for everyone in the main tent, the other ordinary soldiers of the Women's Army were all celebrating the victory, so happy!
Li Yuanying's face was tangled, and finally he slapped the table, "The big deal is that I can't do it, Jun Xian, call all the prince's personal guards, and have a pest killing machine in hand."

One for everyone?There are so many?You have to know that there are 500 personal guards of King Qin, and 300 people will accompany the army this time, and the other [-] will stay at the King Qin Tavern as guards. You have [-] machines?If so, why didn't it come out sooner?Li Yuanba and others expressed their incomprehension.

They didn't know that Li Yuanying's heart was bleeding when he made this decision. The system is a profiteer, and the points mall is extremely expensive to exchange for this kind of modern machinery.

Moreover, the original purpose of this fight against the locust plague was as an actual combat exercise, and try not to use special means. If we can rely on local forces to fight against the locust plague, then eradicating the locust plague will no longer be a problem.

But the plan did not change quickly, and no one expected it, because the mixing of Li Yuanying and Xiao Doudou's father and daughter made the locust disaster more than several times more severe. This is no longer an ordinary locust disaster.
