Chapter 21: The Trap
"Your Majesty, during this time, the Tiger Guardian has expanded to two thousand people. ”
Dian Wei saluted Zhao Lin and told him truthfully.
"It's only 2,000. ”
Zhao Lin couldn't help frowning, spending so much money on training, but only two thousand people were smashed, which did not meet Zhao Lin's expectations.
However, Zhao Lin was quickly relieved.
This reflects from the side that the Tiger Guardian is indeed the elite of the elite, and it does not take time to smash it out just by throwing money.
"General Dian, now that the 400,000 rebels in the four towns of Jiangnan are heading south, can you be sure of how to deal with it?"
Zhao Lin asked lightly.
Dian Wei didn't say a word, he knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "The minister will sweep down the rebels for Your Majesty, take down the head of the enemy general, and dedicate it to Your Majesty!"
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other a little.
Two thousand people against four hundred thousand, and dare to say that they will take the head of the enemy general, in this way, only Dian Wei can say it.
"Good. ”
Zhao Lin nodded, "I limit you to end the battle within three days." ”
"The last general commands!"
Dian Wei took the order and strode away.
"The book of the military department. ”
After Dian Wei left, Zhao Lin summoned the military department Shangshu.
"The minister is here. ”
The military department is still listed.
"Although General Dian Wei's troops are brave and good at fighting, but after all, there are few people, you have to cooperate closely with him, on the one hand, to stabilize the rear, on the other hand, to quickly digest the results of our army, and occupy the city under General Dian. ”
Zhao Lin commanded.
Dian Wei is undoubtedly a fierce general, and charging into battle is his strength, but other aspects are not his strengths, so Zhao Lin will let the military department Shangshu assist Dian Wei, so that he can not only win, but also seek stability.
"Wechen obeys!"
The military department Shangshu nodded, his expression solemn.
It's not an easy job.
Zhao Lin is equivalent to handing over the vast rear to him to be responsible.
For example, Dian Wei won the battle, but if the rebels bypassed Dian Wei's Tiger Ben guards and broke through directly to the rear, then there is no doubt that it would be a complete test of his ability as the secretary of the military department.
In an instant, the military department Shangshu felt a heavy courage and fell on his shoulder.
"Retreat!"
After ordering everything, Zhao Lin waved his hand and announced his retreat.
After all the officials withdrew from the main hall, Zhao Lin's eyes fell on Cao Zhengchun, "Lord Cao, I ordered you to investigate the 'Four Towns in Jiangnan', but what is the result?"
Cao Zhengchun nodded, "The old slave has been investigating the East Factory with all his might, and he has indeed made some discoveries. ”
"Behind the 'Four Towns of Jiangnan' is a martial arts sect called the Nine Shadows Sect. ”
"Nine Shadows Sect?"
Zhao Lin's pupils shrank suddenly.
"This Nine Shadows Sect again?"
This is the second time Zhao Lin has heard this name.
When Xue Mang launched the palace change, he was supported by the people of the Nine Shadows Sect.
Unexpectedly, now that the "Four Towns in the South of the Yangtze River" has rebelled, there is the shadow of the Nine Shadows Sect behind it.
Zhao Lin's eyes gradually became cold.
These Nine Hidden Sects must be eradicated.
"Recently, the old slave discovered that there are some martial arts people who have mixed into Yashan City, and they should be people from the Nine Shadows Sect,"
A cold glint appeared in Cao Zhengchun's eyes, "The old slave suspects that they want to be unfavorable to His Majesty." ”
"You're saying that the Nine Shadows Sect may send someone to assassinate me?"
Zhao Lin's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Exactly. ”
Cao Zhengchun nodded, "The old slave suggests that the city be blocked immediately and the suspicious characters in the city will be investigated, the old slave is confident that Dongchang will be able to find out the assassins!"
Although there is not enough manpower in Dongchang at present, and the tentacles have not yet stretched too far, but in Yashan City, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the organization of Dongchang in Yashan City is now quite perfect.
Give him three days, and he will definitely be able to find out all the Nine Phantom Sect assassins.
However, Zhao Lin shook his head, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to block it, let them come." ”
"Let them go?"
Cao Zhengchun was stunned, and then instantly understood Zhao Lin's intentions.
This His Majesty is an assassin who wants to meet the Nine Shadows Sect for a while!
Even, to lure the assassins of the Nine Shadows Sect to come, wait for the rabbit!
"Have you forgotten that I now have the strength of a great grandmaster. ”
Zhao Lin's fists slowly clenched, now he is not a soft persimmon!
"Tell the world that in two days, I will go hunting in the eastern suburbs!"
Zhao Lin said loudly.
"The old slave understood. ”
Cao Zhengchun nodded, he only found out how powerful Zhao Lin was now, indeed, if the city is closed and searched, I am afraid that it will startle the snakes, and it is inevitable that there will be fish that will slip through the net in the end.
And according to Zhao Lin's method, the enemy will definitely throw himself into the net!
That's where the cleverness comes in.
The old slave went to arrange it immediately. ”
Cao Zhengchun understood that Zhao Lin's hunting in the eastern suburbs was to lure the snake out of the hole.
We must take this opportunity to exterminate and kill all the assassins of the Nine Shadows Sect, and not one will be left!
Under the deliberate spread of Dongchang, the news that Zhao Lin was going to hunt in the eastern suburbs soon spread throughout the capital.
At this time, in an inn in the city.
Several people wearing hats were all bright-eyed.
They looked at each other, and their eyes showed a touch of joy.
Among them, a man with a hat slowly raised his head, revealing a very gloomy face, which was the leader of the Nine Shadows Sect, Nie Yuanlou.
There was a hint of calm in his eyes, and he immediately grinned, "It seems that this Zhao Lin child deserves to be killed!"
These people originally planned to break into the palace and assassinate Zhao Lin, but in that case, they would undoubtedly have to be carefully deployed, and it would be difficult.
However, if it is outside the palace, the difficulty will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and the success rate will be greatly increased!
Therefore, Zhao Lin is equivalent to sticking out his neck and letting them kill.
......
Two days later.
According to the set plan, Zhao Lin went to the eastern suburbs to hunt normally.
This hunt is the first hunt since Zhao Lin ascended the throne, and the scale is very grand, not only followed by the forbidden army, but also accompanied by the sons of hundreds of officials and ministers.
Originally, the hunting of the Son of Heaven was an opportunity for the children of the royal family to compete for performance, but the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty had already been killed in the war.
Therefore, many officials were puzzled and did not understand why Zhao Lin held this hunt.
At the front of the hunting team, Zhao Lin wore a crown, a dragon robe, and a white horse, majestic and majestic, and the bearing and majesty of the Son of Heaven were undoubtedly displayed.
On his side, there was a girl in black, the girl was exquisite, her skin was snow-white, and her face was covered with a veil, but her eyes were very charming and moving.
It is Zhao Lin's only concubine in the harem now, Xiaoxiao, who was named a nobleman.
"Your Majesty, why are you so elegant today and want to come to the eastern suburbs to hunt?"
Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Lin with a smile.
A few days ago, Zhao Lin went to Bailu Academy and chanted ancient poems, shaking the world Confucianism, these things have reached her ears.
Although she was born in martial arts, she is also quite accomplished in literature, and some of Zhao Lin's poems and essays have even been recited by her for several days, which is breathtaking.
Unexpectedly, her domineering majesty is not only a Zhongxing Mingjun, but also a generation of poets and writers.
Such a man, how could she not be tempted?
