"Returning to Your Highness, the person who reported the victory had already set off half an hour ago, do you want the last general to send someone to chase him back?" A member of the staff will report.

"Chasing? This place is only dozens of miles away from Chang'an, and I can't catch up. That's it, I'll write a letter and send it to Chang'an as soon as possible! ”

Inside Chang'an City.

Since Emperor Li Er ascended the throne, Chang'an has been implementing a curfew system, and after the lanterns are turned on at night, the streets are empty. Everyone is at home, or in a liquor store, and they are not allowed to go out on the streets.

In the palace hall, Emperor Li Er stood at the door with his clothes draped, constantly looking west, but in the quiet night, he was disappointed once and again.

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

"Hey, it's been two days, and I don't know if Gorou and they have encountered locusts, how can I sleep?"

The queen smiled and said: "Thousands of troops can be repelled while talking and laughing, let alone just locusts?" Believe in Goro! ”

Li Er shook his head with a wry smile: "Having said that, locusts belong to natural disasters after all, and in the face of natural disasters, when manpower is poor, I always have no bottom in my heart." You go to sleep first, don't catch a cold with the child, I will wait a little longer. Well? Guanyin, you, did you hear any sound? ”

"Voice? No, in addition to the faint sound of snorting, there is also the croaking of insects and frogs. ”

"Hey, maybe I'm looking forward to the hallucination of the big victory, and I can't help but hear the good news in my ears." Li Er couldn't help but laugh himself, "That's it, let's sleep, and send a fast horse to investigate tomorrow." ”

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer to the Lizheng Palace, Li Er looked in the direction of the corridor, and the figure of the inner servant Lao Gao appeared, seeing that the emperor and queen had not slept yet, Lao Gao sighed, "Thank God, Your Majesty, Niangniang, news from the front line, great victory, great victory in the first battle!" ”

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

Auditory hallucinations? What auditory hallucinations?

The chamberlain Lao Gao respectfully submitted the report paperwork, "The old slave happened to bump into the herald at the palace gate. ”

Where did he just bump into it? It's clear that he is deliberately staring at the door, the emperor is worried and can't sleep, how can he not share his worries for the Lord as a personal servant?

After quickly reading the good news, Li Erlian shouted three times, the first battle was successful, only 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus 100,000 chickens, ducks and geese to repel the locusts, it seems that this method is indeed effective, from now on, locust plague? Hehe, the rations of the people's chickens, ducks and geese.

"Go, pass on this good news to the officials of the various ministries, so that they can also take a reassuring pill......"

Empress Changsun tugged at her husband's sleeve, "Erlang, it's late at night, why bother tossing hundreds of officials again?" It's the same with announcing victory tomorrow. ”

"Hahahaha, okay, with this good news, I can finally sleep in peace." Waving off the waiter Lao Gao, Li Er took his wife's hand and went back to the bedroom.

After a hard-won solid sleep, Li Er fell asleep quickly, and after a while, he snored slightly with a smile. In the past few days, because of the locusts, he has not fallen asleep for several days, and the eldest grandson queen is anxious in her eyes, and at this moment, her joy is no less than that of her husband.

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came from far and near, and in the dark night, the defenders of Chang'an City Gate were impatient for a while, and said in their hearts, which man in the rivers and lakes, so blind, came to the city alone in the middle of the night? Isn't this a toss for grandpa? No matter how anxious you are, you won't be able to open the door until early tomorrow morning to let you in.

"Report, urgent report from the front, His Royal Highness King Qin urgently submits a letter to His Majesty!" There was a hurried shout from the city.

The guard at the head of the city was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with doubt: "Hey, didn't the city report a great victory?" How do you report it again? ”

"The last general is not to report victory, but to ask for help! The locust plague is menacing, and His Highness personally ordered him to ask for help overnight! Quickly open the city gate and let me in, no one can afford to delay the military situation! ”

What? Help?

Don't be, I just reported a big victory, and now I'm asking for help? How can it be? None of the defenders at the head of the city believed it, and the adjutant general directly ordered to open his bow and arrows, "Nonsense! The front line is clearly victorious, but you are followed by someone who asks for help, in my opinion, you want to sneak into the city to be a spy, who are you? Recruit me from the truth! ”

"Bastard! Outrageous? Let today's garrison general come out. This general, the Xuanjia Army is the fifth general, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin's personal guard deputy general Qi Sanjia, dare to neglect his duties and delay the military aircraft? Take your military law carefully! The people of the city were angry and scolded.

What, what?? Xuanjia Army's? King Qin's personal guard lieutenant? Do you have a token?

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

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

"Noise, don't ask too much about military aircraft, just guard your door!" After saying it with a cold face, Qi Sanjia rode his horse and galloped headlong into the streets of Chang'an.

Outside the Lizheng Palace, the old man Gao was in a cold sweat, looking at the urgent report in his hand, followed by Qi Sanjia, hesitated again and again, but still had the courage to knock on the door.

The first to wake up was Empress Changsun, "Who knocked on the door?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, it's a slave, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has an urgent handwritten letter into the palace, there is an accident on the front line, I don't know if Your Majesty will sleep ......"

"Your Majesty has just fallen asleep, so wait a minute! Erlang, Erlang wake up......"

"Don't make a fuss, the locusts are so delicious......" Li Er was still dreaming of fried locusts.

Qi Sanjia almost laughed out loud, and was glared back by the waiter Lao Gao.

After a while, Li Er, who was disturbed by his dreams, walked out with a gloomy face, and the waiter Lao Gao didn't say a word, bowed down and handed over the secret letter, and then stood aside and held the lamp.

After reading the secret letter, Li Er immediately woke up and no longer felt sleepy, "What about the person who reported the letter?" ”

"Here, the last general under the Xuanjia Army Qi Sanjia to meet Your Majesty!"

Li Er said eagerly: "Tell me in detail about today's battle, as well as King Qin's inference for the next locust, not a word is missed!" ”

After listening to Qi Sanjia's description, Li Er immediately decided, "Come on, beat the drum of the generals, and order the officials above the sixth department and the fifth grade to enter the palace immediately." ”

In Chang'an City, because of Li Yuanying's two letters, countless people couldn't sleep tonight.

In the front-line camp, Li Yuanying still rewarded the banquet, but except for the people in the main tent, the other ordinary soldiers of the Women's Army were all celebrating the victory, so unhappy!

Li Yuanying's face was entangled, and finally slapped the table, "It's a big deal, Lao Tzu, Jun Xian, gather all the king's personal guards, and each person has an insecticidal machine." ”

One per person? So many? You must know that your King Qin's personal guards are 500 people, this time there are 300 people with the army, and the other 200 are left behind in the Qin King Tavern as guards, you have 300 machines? If so, why didn't you take it out earlier? Li Yuanba and others expressed their incomprehension.

They didn't know that Li Yuanying was dripping blood in his heart when he made this decision, the system was a profiteer, and the points mall was expensive to exchange for this kind of modern machinery, even if he spent all his savings to exchange it, he couldn't exchange it for a thousand.

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

But the plan did not change quickly, no one expected it, because of the mixing of Li Yuanying and Xiaodoudou's father and daughter, the degree of this locust plague increased several times, and this was no longer an ordinary locust plague.
