Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 402
The soldiers watched the two generals go down to the river, drink water and jump into the horse river one after another, and the riverside suddenly became lively.

Although Tantai Xiyao and Nangong Ruoxue were pulled by him to fish, they had no intention of fishing.

"Mr. Prime Minister, they are so noisy and have scared away the fish. How can we still fish?"

Sister Xiyao said coquettishly.

"Yeah, can I catch fish like this?"

Nangong Ruoxue also had a bad smile on her face.

"It's okay, no matter how noisy a fish like this in a big river is, it will always take the bait!"

Lu Hao was not anxious at all.

"I really don't know if you are here to fight? Or are you here to enjoy the mountains and rivers? You actually have the leisure to fish?"

Nangong Ruoxue was really puzzled.

According to common sense, soldiers need to be quick, but this bastard has been taking his time, as if he was out touring the mountains and rivers.

Besides, with such a slow speed, wouldn’t the defenders at Hangu Pass have more time to prepare.

When the time comes, if the army attacks the city, won't more people be sacrificed?

I really don’t understand. This man’s routine of marching and fighting is completely incomprehensible!
In fact, it wasn't that Lu Hao didn't want to speed up the march, but that he wanted to buy enough time for Liu Rufeng to produce more shells and explosive packs.

Without artillery shells and explosive packs, even if the troops were approaching the city, what could they use to fight Chen Lin?

Therefore, he would stop and go, traveling all the way, hoping that Liu Rufeng could deliver cannonballs and explosive packs in time.

What was originally a three-day journey was taken by Lu Hao for ten days, and he was forced to eat softly and let two beauties wait on him along the way.

……

Outside Hangu Pass.

King Huainan and Prince Hao arrived outside the city wall of Hangu Pass a few days ago.

Unfortunately, the gate of Hangu Pass was closed, and Chen Lin had no intention of letting them in.

In the city lord's palace in Hangu Pass, Chen Lin was enjoying delicious food, while the two princes outside were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.

"Chen Lin, you... you bastard! You... you don't keep your word! You... you don't deserve to die!"

King Huainan stood outside Hangu Pass and cursed loudly.

"Stop... stop scolding, I... we brothers have to find a way quickly. If Lu Hao calls, we will be doomed!"

Prince Hao was weak and persuaded.

"What are you afraid of? We still have [-] troops, can't we..."

King Huainan said, looking at the army behind him, he was suddenly speechless.

The current army, because there is no food and grass, has eaten all the edible things around it.

But where is there so much food and grass?

Besides, these grains and grass were given to them by Chen Lin. How much could he give them?
Three days ago, this army had run out of food and grass, just like locusts passing through the border, eating all the edible things around them.

The King of Huainan still wanted to fight Lu Hao to the death, but when he saw these dying soldiers, he suddenly became completely desperate.

"How can Chen Lin, a treacherous guy like us, be on the same page as our brothers?"

The king of Huainan was indignant.

"King Huainan, I didn't expect that Chen Lin wouldn't want our brothers to enter the customs. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come up with this bad idea!"

Prince Hao said with a grimace.

"I don't blame you for this, I just blame us for trusting that bastard Chen Lin too much. It's too late to regret it now!"

King Huainan regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

"Chen Lin, you villain..."

Prince Hao roared angrily.

The City Lord's Mansion at this time.

Chen Lin looked calm and listened to his subordinate Qi Hongyan's report.

This Qi Hongyan is one of the four fierce generals under Chen Lin. She has strong martial arts skills and kills people like crazy. She has fiery red hair and is nicknamed "The Red-Haired Girl".

Of course, this is also one of the four fierce generals under Chen Lin who is still alive.

Because the remaining three fierce generals, under the attack of Liu Mu and King Lanling, died fighting to protect Chen Lin.

"Master Marshal, the two princes scolded you at the gate of the city again, saying that you are a villain and untrustworthy..."

The red-haired woman reported loudly.Unfortunately, these insults did not arouse Chen Lin's anger.

"Hehehe... If they want to scold them, let them continue to scold them. I have long wanted to drive them out, but I have no good idea. I didn't expect these two idiots to actually come up with this plan to lure the snake out of its hole."

Chen Lin laughed happily.

"Prime Minister, the two princes still have 3 soldiers and horses. Don't we want these [-] soldiers too?"

Qi Hongyan asked.

"Thirty thousand mobs are of no use, and the two princes have no conscience. They burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. They poison all living beings and harm the people. Do you think I, the commander, should associate with such beasts?"

Chen Lin sneered again and again.

"Marshal, you are right! Such beasts do not deserve to live. Otherwise, the general will lead his army to destroy them?"

Qi Hongyan asked coldly.

"That's not necessary. After all, they sent King Lanling here in the first place. It would be unjustifiable for us to kill him."

Chen Lin rejected her proposal.

"Then are we just going to ignore it?"

Qi Hongyan asked.

"Yes, if you don't listen and stay behind closed doors, they will eventually leave!"

The corners of Chen Lin's mouth curved.

"But, their scoldings were so unpleasant! The soldiers wanted to rush out of the city and kill these two beasts!"

Qi Hongyan said angrily.

"It's unpleasant to hear. I don't care at all about Ling's wailing before his death. Let the soldiers be calm and calm!"

Chen Lin has an unusually firm mind.

"My subordinate understands!"

Qi Hongyan took the order and left.

……

To be honest, the two princes' calculations were louder, and Lu Hao's calculations were even louder, but there was still no chicken thief Chen Lin.

Under Lu Hao's plan, the two princes had no conscience and committed all kinds of evil, and they were already sinners of the empire.

As long as they enter Hangu Pass, Lu Hao can justifiably attack Hangu Pass.

However, Chen Lin was also extremely cunning and didn't give Lu Hao any excuse at all.

When Lu Hao heard the news, he was also confused.

In Lu Hao's opinion, the two princes would definitely find a way to enter Hangu Pass, but for several days in a row, they were still cursing people outside the city wall.

"For the record, Prime Minister, the two princes are still outside Hangu Pass. Chen Lin seems to have no intention of letting them in."

Wu Qingyu reported loudly.

"This Chen Lin is really tenacious and unyielding! After scolding him for so many days, he still won't let the two princes enter."

Lu Hao also looked depressed.

"Master Xiang, what should we do now?"

Wu Qingyu asked.

"What else can we do? Let's get to Hangu Pass first."

Lu Hao could only act according to circumstances.

"Prime Minister, we have half a day to go before we reach Hangu Pass. Do we need to march in a hurry?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu suddenly became excited.

"Hehehe...Looking at how excited you are, have you been holding it in for the past few days?"

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Yes, who asked you to take us on a sightseeing tour? We are almost sick."

Xuanyuan Lingyu was depressed.

"In that case, General Xuanyuan, I order you to set off overnight and lead your army to kill Hangu Pass!"

Lu Hao finally issued the attack order.
