After the expeditionary force captured the Shiling Pass, it did not continue to rush quickly to the hinterland of Da Mang according to the established route. The latest and fastest updates

All these changes were caused by Lin Ji's temporary decision to slaughter the pawns and let go of the hundred people.

"Shizi, since you have already made the decision to slaughter the soldiers, why do you want to let those hundred people go? A low-ranking officer didn't seem to understand Lin Ji's decision, although he could barely accept the fact of slaughtering and demoting, but he didn't understand this seemingly unreasonable decision to release him.

"How many people are in the reckless army?" Lin Ji glanced at him with a smile and asked him patiently.

"Nearly a million. The officer was obviously stunned, and he didn't know why Lin Ji wanted to ask such a question.

"Even if our expeditionary force is not injured or killed, it will take a hundred reckless soldiers to kill them all. Won't you get tired?"

The young non-commissioned officer smiled, as if he understood what Lin Ji meant.

"The reason why a hundred people were released is because the rumors spread very fast, they must be faster than our pace, and it just so happens that we can use this rumor to deter the defenders of other cities in Dareg, you know, how important morale is in war. And compared to the morale of the entire reckless army, why not change the tactics. ”

The young officer looked at Lin Ji, a prince of his own age, with admiration, and asked, "Shizi, everyone said that you are a genius in the cultivation world, but I didn't expect the art of war to be so powerful." ”

Lin Ji didn't agree or deny it, but looked at him with a smile and said: "Things are already like this, as long as my overall strategy is not wrong, even if I do the rest wrong, it is right."

Lin Jiajun, who was anxious to replenish food and grass, did not directly advance to Baier City, the second city on the road to Yanjing, as planned, but chose a road that was extremely far away to Yanjing City that no one would choose.

So much so that after hearing the rumors, the city of Baier, which had made all the defensive preparations, waited for several days and nights, and did not encounter the legendary "Canghai Expeditionary Force." ”

On the fifth day when the Shiling Pass was breached, the Lin family army formed the Canghai Expeditionary Force and sent the troops to the beam, and the news that the Shiling Pass had been conquered finally spread all over the world and was finally confirmed by the world.

Zhongjing, Cultivation Circle, Northern Qin ...... and other forces were shocked by the same force.

How dare a person dare to lead 10,000 lone troops and go deep into the Great Mang Empire, even if he is a cultivator, it may not be easy to retreat with his whole body.

But Lin Ji did just that.

For a while, Lin Ji's name was noisy again.

And the fact of the slaughter of the pawns makes the world have a butcher's color on this name, of course, the truth may not be as rumored in the world, but you have to admit that people are always willing to believe what they want to believe.

On the tenth day of February, Zhongjing, Xuanzheng Palace.

This place where the ministers of the court will meet, but today it will not be opened on the day of the court meeting.

Just because of the sudden arrival of an express in Beijing.

This is a different kind of court meeting, because the people who participated in this court meeting are also from the military, including the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the secretary of the military department and the squire of the military department, and several other military officials above the third grade.

"Your Majesty, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, the minister thinks that it is best to announce to the world that the Lin family's expedition is in harmony with the Han Dynasty, and issue a holy decree ordering Lin Ji to immediately stop the attack and return to the city to stand by. ”

Wei Shuyang didn't have much affection for Lin Ji, this young man who relied on his father's hereditary replacement would soon be lost in the long river of history, so he was happy to add fuel to the fire at this time.

"One, even if we can enter the Damang Frontier, the chances of finding the expeditionary force are very small. Second, the reckless soldiers killed our Wuhou, what's wrong with our revenge. I don't know why the general wants to speak for Da Mang at this time?" The newly promoted military department Shangshu did not understand Wei Shuyang's words, and immediately raised questions.

"Killing and capturing that soldier's taboo, he Lin Ji did it, why did he let His Majesty carry this black cauldron of morality. Wei Shuyang did not let go and asked rhetorically.

"No war can stand the scrutiny of morality, when the Da Mang people united with the Xuanjian Sect to kill Wu Hou, why didn't you say that the Da Mang people had no morality?" The military department snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, glared at Wei Shuyang and stopped talking.

"Generalissimo, what do you mean?" The emperor of the Han Dynasty waved his hand thoughtfully, making the two stop arguing, and finally stopped his gaze on Gu Tang's body.

"The massacre of soldiers is a military consideration, and has nothing to do with morality, if it were me who led the troops, I would not hesitate to do so, and every soldier should not be wasted, let alone those who may resist at any time. In addition, this expedition of the Lin family army is actually not harmful to the empire, one can shock the world, and the other is to weaken the combat power of the Lin family army, killing two birds with one stone. Why do you want to stop it? It is better to go to Canghai City to give him a false title to appease the people, and wait until things become big in the future, and then the imperial court has lost control of the Lin family's army. Gu Tang spoke eloquently, calmly and relaxedly, and after his analysis, even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty seemed to be much more relaxed.

"Okay, just do what the general said. Someone came to draw up a will for me and sent it to Canghai City. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The eunuch of the palm print retreated when he heard this, and soon after, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that had been prepared had already been prepared.

"Wuhou Lin Ji, reckless and meritorious, specially appointed as the general of the expedition to the south, commanding the three armies, hoping to continue to win all the way and raise the prestige of our Han army. Liu Jizu pondered his tone repeatedly, and after determining the content of the holy decree for the last time, he nodded with satisfaction.

Five days later, the squire of the military department arrived in Canghai City with the holy decree, and General Han took the order instead of Lin Ji, thanking His Majesty Longen. Then the squire of the military department had a secret meeting with General Han for half an hour, and finally slammed the door and broke up unhappily.

The earth finally ushered in his spring, and after a trace of chill was carried away by a very slight spring rain, and then by the cold winter that people hated, it was finally gone.

And Lin Ji's policy of killing prisoners also seems to have played a big role, the cities selected by the expeditionary force are all small cities, so when they faced the Lin family army with cultivators, most of them chose to surrender after Lin Ji finished speaking, and Lin Ji was also very benevolent and did not rush into the city, but only negotiated with the generals defending the city to replenish dry food and then quietly left, as if they had never come.

Occasionally, he would encounter a few recalcitrant cities, and Lin Ji would repeat his old tricks, and then kill all the soldiers in the city without hesitation, and then only let go of a hundred people.

Therefore, more and more news came out one after another, and the rumors that the land where the Lin family army passed was not an inch of grass were also noisy for a while.

At this time, the expeditionary force finally went deep into the territory of Damang.

After several days of non-stop fighting, the soldiers of the Lin family army finally tired, and even lost the speed they were most proud of.

Damang is nearly 2,000 miles from the north to Yanjing, and is the country with the largest territory.

A whole month has passed since Lin Ji and the expeditionary force set foot on this blue sky and green grass land. For the past thirty days, the expeditionary force has burst into the boundless flock like a raging beast, passing through pools of blood along the way.

Those who follow me live, those who oppose me die, where the banner of the Lin family army is pointed, invincible, there is almost no general in front of the horse, even if it is as strong as Shiling Pass, it only took a few hours to break it.

However, as time went on, as the war continued to move toward the infinite interior of the reckless hinterland, the balance of war gradually shifted to the other side.

The number of the expeditionary force is extremely simple, the speed of movement is extremely fast, and many places in the territory of Damang are deserted, so in the early days of the expeditionary force, it is almost difficult to find the figure of the expeditionary force in the territory of Damang.

However, as time slowly lengthened, it became more and more difficult for the expeditionary force to gather food and grass, and the whereabouts of the expeditionary force became more and more exposed to the sight of the reckless people.

Immediately, the Da Mang people immediately reacted, with the heavenly general Di Yun as the general of Pingnan, led an army of 200,000, united various cities, and intercepted the expeditionary force of only 10,000 people in the territory.
