After the rebellion of Su Jun, the imperial court returned to calm, Yu Liang and Wang Dao assisted Sima Yan, due to the peace in the country, naturally focused on the Northern Expedition, and increased the troops and grain for "Zhanfei", and rewarded them generously.

The 3,000 orphan army came to Xuzhou to see Zu Ti, who knew that the reason was overjoyed, and immediately accepted all of them and organized them as the rattan armor army.

After Zu Yue escaped from Jiankang, he had nowhere to go, so he was ruthless and threw himself into Shile.

When Shi Le knew that Zu Yue was coming, he did not wait to see him, and did not meet Zu Yue for several days, which made Zu Yue a little disappointed, and he had to drink to kill his sorrows.

Shi Le did not meet Zu Yue because Zu Li, Zu Li is Shi Le's nemesis, and Zu Yue is Zu Li's brother, so in Shi Le's view, Zu Yue will not only not be reused, but he has the heart to kill him, but the Zu family is also a flag, which can imply that the Jin people, the people of the Zu family have come to me, and there is no hope for the Great Jin.

Zu Yue didn't know it, he thought that Shi Le would reuse himself, so he had been waiting in the north, and the result was to let him serve as a ten-person team leader under Wang Yang, Zu Yue felt ashamed, unwilling to go to the post, and only relied on the gold and silver he brought to live, not only that, Zu Yue also often invaded ordinary people in the north, someone reported Zu Yue, Shi Le only didn't know, Zu Yue was more bold and reckless, and his reputation was getting worse and worse.

After Zu Ti got 3,000 rattan armor soldiers, he felt that the military weapons were complete, the grain and grass were sufficient, and the soldiers were strong and strong, so he could crusade against Shile and recover his homeland, so he raised three armies, forcibly crossed the Yellow River, and attacked Shile.

Shi Le saw that he could not be defeated, so he had to learn from the practice of the Jin people at the beginning and build dock forts one after another, which slightly stopped the offensive speed of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Shi Le was frightened, summoned Zhang Bin to ask for a plan, Zhang Bin said: "King, if it goes on like this, we will be wiped out sooner or later, the Great Jin Dynasty has advanced weapons, and we are inferior to this alone, especially their rattan armor soldiers, invulnerable, not easy to deal with, king, why don't we also learn the rattan armor production of the Jin people, and make a large number of batches, wouldn't we be able to treat the other side in the other way?" ”

"Well, that's a good idea, but we don't know how to make rattan armor at all."

"Don't worry, the king, you can send Lafeng to the Jin camp to steal one, we will study it, we will definitely get something, as long as we can crack the production method, we can form a large-scale vine armor soldier."

"Okay, Xuanlafeng."

Pulling Feng Tingxuan immediately came to Shile, but he came in upside down.

"Lafeng, why do you still have to stand upside down to see me every day?"

"King, I didn't complete my mission last time, but I made an oath that if I can't kill Zhanfei, I will come to see you upside down, although the king doesn't blame me, but I stand with a real face and talk to you."

"Lafeng, I'll give you another chance, are you willing to do it?"

"Of course I am willing, if the king believes me, let me go again, this time I will definitely kill Zhanfei, if I don't kill him, I will come to see him."

"Pull the wind, you're wrong, it's certainly feasible to kill Zhanfei, but if you kill one Zhanfei, there will be a second and third Zhanfei, just like when Zu Yi died, didn't Zhanfei also become our fierce enemy, so killing Zhanfei is not the best policy, and it can't solve the fundamentals."

Lafeng put his feet down, stood up and said, "King, since you don't want to assassinate Zhanfei again, what task do you want to send me?" ”

"Lafeng, you have also seen that Zhanfei's rattan armor soldiers, as the vanguard, killed us to lose our armor, don't look at the few people, but their power is amazing, so I also want to build a rattan armor soldier."

"King, ......?"

"That's the case, I want you to sneak into the Jin camp to steal a rattan armor out, and we will also learn to make it and build a rattan armor soldier, do you understand?"

"I see, my lord, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task and come back with a complete vine armor!"

"Pull the wind, you must not make a mistake this time, if you can't succeed, don't come back to see me!"

"Yes, King!"

Lafeng ordered him to retreat, and someone came to report that his mother wanted to see him, so Shi Le had to return to his mother's residence in Xiangcheng.

At this time, Shi Mu was already dying and seriously ill, and perhaps she had something to say to warn Shi Le when she was dying.

Shi Le sat in front of the bed, and Shi Mu said: "Le'er, my mother won't live for a few days, but I can't rest assured that you and your grandchildren are at ease." ”

"Mother, what are you worried about, the child is now the lord of Da Zhao, the house is full of children and grandchildren, and the glory and wealth are endless, what is my mother worried about?"

"Le'er, do you remember what your mother said back then?"

"Mother, are you talking about ......?"

Shi Mu said: "Le'er, when you became a general, I was just discovered by your brother Liu Kun and sent back, I told you once, but you just don't believe it, alas, I haven't mentioned these words again, this is not right for my mother, now my mother is about to die, no matter what, I have to tell you again." ”

"Mother, what are you going to say, the child doesn't remember."

"It's what Chen Xiangshi said to his mother, do you have to repeat it for your mother?"

"Mother, I remember, I remember, but I said that it was all Chen Xiang's deception, this Chen Xiangshi not only broke the royal spirit of our ancestral tomb, but also scared you, it's really hateful, what to incur the extermination of the clan, it's all boundless nonsense, mother, my life is up to me, I don't believe in evil!"

"Child, it's good to control your own fate, but it's not wise to insist on acting recklessly, my mother has seen you kill countless people over the years, how many innocent souls have died under your knife, cities have been slaughtered, villages have been wiped out, Niang is a person who believes in Buddhism, believe in karma, I am afraid that you will cause disasters if you do this, maybe only according to Chen Xiangshi's words is the only way to crack it."

"Mother, how to crack it?"

"Yes, you either descend to the Great Jin, or return to seclusion and farming, only in this way can we avoid the calamity of our clan, otherwise, not only will our family not have good results, I am afraid that it will also affect the entire Karma clan, Le'er, listen to your mother."

"Mother, the child doesn't believe this, how can he put down the throne and go into hiding, the child still wants to unify the world and be a big hero!"

"Alas......" Shi Le sighed and said: "Le'er, I haven't heard of heroes in the world like you, Buddhism has clouds, karma, it's not that you don't repay, it's not time." ”

"Mother, don't worry, Master Buddha Tucheng taught me Buddhism, although I can't learn it, but in order to offset my sins, I have built a hundred Buddhist temples, and now these Buddhist temples are full of incense, mother, don't worry."

"Le'er, you are really naïve, it is better to be a mother than knowledge, if you are evil, even if you build ten thousand Buddhist temples, what is the use! ……”

After saying this, Shi Le vomited blood and died, Shi Le lay in wait for the corpse and cried, ordered someone to bury him, and later, he didn't take his mother's admonition to heart at all, and killing civilians indiscriminately was still his hobby, even if it was persuaded by Buddha Tucheng a few times, the effect was not great.

For Buddha Tucheng, he came to the Central Plains to promote Buddhism, and the biggest contribution he made was to let Shile build a hundred monasteries, and sometimes he also thought about helping Shile unify the world and build ten thousand Buddhist temples, so that his master and brothers were impressed, but calm down and think about it, if he really assists a demon to unify the world, then does he really have a Buddha in his heart?

Buddha Tucheng was afraid to think about it, so he no longer said a word for Shi Lejin from the military point of view, persuaded him not to kill, and chanted and fasted every day, at this time, he was already hundreds of years old, and he had the ...... to return to the Western Regions.

Jin Ziyan became more and more suspicious of Zhanfei's identity, so she came to the front-line barracks again, and also brought a very important thing, the town gate of Dilongmen!
