The commander of the military camp camped in the tent, Lin Ze looked at a group of Wenchen generals under his command, and said calmly: "The matter in the southwest is coming, prepare one or two, and go north on a certain day." ”

When he said this, Lin Ze himself had a different emotion in his heart.

In order to destroy Nanzhao, Lin Ze can be said to have made sufficient preparations, but in the end, it was a hasty end.

Everyone looked at Lin Ze with a stunned expression, didn't they say that they would exterminate Nanzhao? Isn't this the first battle? Why is it over?

Lin Ze didn't pretend to be mysterious, waiting for them to ask about this kind of boring fun, but said directly: "Zhao Tuo came forward to protect Nanzhao, promised that the southern army and Nanzhao would not look north within ten years, and was willing to compensate, in order to stabilize the situation in the southwest, Ben Hou agreed." ”

Then Lin Ze hid the part of the conversation between himself and Zhao Tuo that he asked for compensation, and roughly said it.

Han Xin Chen and Ping are all smart people, and when they hear this, they still don't understand, at the moment that the Qin State is full of smoke, it is the wisest choice to spend the least price in exchange for the temporary stability of the southwest.

Chen Pingshang was a little worried and asked, "Is Zhao Tuo's words credible?"

Lin Ze did not shy away from saying his guess: "There should be something wrong with the Southern Army, and Zhao Tuo may not be able to fully control the Southern Army, otherwise Zhao Tuo doesn't need to pay a big price for me to withdraw from the army." ”

"It's not whether Zhao Tuo can keep his promise, but in a short period of time, he can't afford to go north at all, as for Nanzhao, this time he has suffered a heavy loss in strength, and he hates Zhao Tuo to the core, so he must not worry too much. ”

With his own people, Lin Ze stood in Zhao Tuo's point of view, if it wasn't for the problem of the southern army, where would he need to persuade him bitterly, and also offered compensation in exchange for the withdrawal of the Qin State?

Zhao Tuo only needs hundreds of thousands of Chen soldiers on his side, staring at the Qin army, Lin Ze has to worry about whether he will be cut off by the conscription of the southern army if he leads the army deep into Nanzhao.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there were still other hidden dangers in the Qin State, Lin Ze really wanted to take this opportunity to completely defeat Zhao Tuo and never suffer in the future.

Otherwise, when Zhao Tuo completely controls the southern army, as well as such a large territory in the south, and has the support of Buddhism, it will be difficult to calm down at that time.

"Do you have any other questions?" Lin Ze looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone remained silent and sat upright to show their support and recognition for Lin Ze.

Lin Ze looked around and said, "If you don't have any other questions, Ben Hou is going to start assigning tasks." ”

"Please command," everyone responded in unison.

"Wu Fan, arrange for someone to keep an eye on the movements of the Southern Army, and if there is any abnormal movement, report it immediately," Lin Ze looked at Wu Fan and said.

Putting all his hopes on others, this kind of low-level mistake, Lin Ze could not have made.

In his eyes, Zhao Tuo and the Zhengnan Army were also among the enemies, and when Zhao Tuo sought to stand on his own, he was destined to be unable to coexist with the Qin State for a long time.

Wu Fan stood up and arched his hand with a serious face: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Then Lin Ze stopped his eyes on Li Xin and Yu Ziqi: "Ben Hou needs someone to lead the army to recover Nanyun Province, and then lead the army to garrison Nanyun for a long time to prevent Nanzhao and the southern army, you two, who is willing to take on this matter?"

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lin Ze's meaning is obvious, to create an existence similar to the five major military governments, the integration of military and government, and the defense of Nanyun Province to ensure the stability of the southwest.

And the main general of this army, in Nanyun Province, will be an existence like an earth emperor.

Before Li Xin and Yu Ziqi could speak, Chen Ping said with a worried look: "Master Hou's move is a bit unruly, do you need to consult Your Majesty before deciding?"

Lin Ze shook his head and said: "No need, from here to Chang'an, it will take at least twenty days for the messenger to come and go, and you have to persuade Your Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty to agree to this matter." ”

"If the messenger can't explain clearly, Your Majesty may not agree, and in extraordinary times, everything will be simple, and the matter will be decided, and the Hou will explain it to His Majesty when he returns. ”

The worry on Chen Ping's face did not decrease: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will misunderstand......"

Chen Ping has been in Chang'an for a long time, and he has also controlled Jinyiwei, so he naturally knows that Lin Ze's relationship with Hu Hai now seems to be harmonious between the monarch and the minister, but it is actually a little delicate.

Leading troops to defend a province is essentially no different from dividing the territory, and Chen Ping is really worried that the young emperor will think too much.

Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "It's really a bit troublesome, so let's not tell him yet, Ben Hou believes that with the ability of the two of you, without that holy decree and with Ben Hou's support, you can also control a province." ”

Chen Ping's face froze, Uncle Shi, are you serious?

Of course Lin Ze understood what Chen Ping meant, but so what? He couldn't just restrain himself and do nothing because he was afraid of thinking nonsense.

He is not Zhuge Liang, and he has to write a "Teacher Table" to fight a battle.

Yu Ziqi's eyes were suddenly firm, and he got up and bowed and saluted: "The last general is willing to guard Nanyun Province, please give an order from Master Hou." ”

Lin Ze immediately replied: "Okay, it's you." In addition to leaving you an army of 50,000, Ben Hou will also greet the four major forces of Shu and ask them to support you as much as possible. ”

In fact, Lin Ze originally preferred to be stationed in Nanyun during the Yuzi period, just because he was a child of a family.

Just like the Ming Dynasty in later generations, the Mu family guarded Yunnan, and it was far better to leave this kind of thing to a family than to hand it over to one person.

When Yu Ziqi sits in this position, the Yu family will definitely flock to it, automatically divide Nanyun into its own sphere of influence, and manage it well.

In the face of the threat of Nanzhao in this way, the Yu family will guard this territory more carefully.

As for whether the Yu family will be too big to lose, or even rebel, Lin Ze is not very worried.

If he is strong, the Yu family will only bow down to his ears, and he will never dare to rebel, if he is not strong enough, even if the Yu family does not rebel, I am afraid it will be useless.

Li Xin was greatly relieved to see that Yu Ziqi took the initiative to deal with this matter, according to what Lin Ze said, if he stayed in Nanyun, it was possible that there would be no war for ten years, if this was the case, it would be too miserable for a military general.

The matter in the southwest came to an end, and Lin Ze continued: "With Han Xin as the main commander, Chen Ping as the military advisor, and Li Xin Qianyuan and Wu Fan as the followers, we will lead an army of 200,000 to the north, target the Western Regions, and set off tomorrow. ”

As soon as these words came out, a trace of emotion flashed in Han Xin's eyes, thinking that Lin Ze deliberately made himself the commander-in-chief, so that he could break through the Grandmaster Realm as soon as possible.

So Han Xin got up and saluted: "Hou Ye's talent in leading the troops, a hundred times better than the last general, the last general is willing to be a wing, please Hou Ye himself as the commander." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "This is a military order, you don't have to excuse yourself." Besides, Ben Hou has other important things to do, and it is inconvenient to go with the army, so the army will be handed over to you, Ben Hou believes in you, and will definitely not let me down. ”

When Han Xin heard this, he could only promise: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Lin Ze fixed his gaze on Chen Ping, and said calmly: "The battle report of the army going south will be handed over to you, since you know Your Majesty's temperament, you must know how to write it." ”

"If necessary, you can arrange for someone to send 350,000 heads to Chang'an to show His Majesty and the civil and military officials, lest they think that Benhou has done nothing. ”

"If this is not enough, remember to count Ben Hou's record of killing a grandmaster, if this is not satisfied, Ben Hou has no choice but to put down the rebellion, and can only choose another meritorious. ”

Chen Ping's face turned pale, he understood what Lin Ze meant, and he didn't have to care too much about the feelings of those people in the court.

A trace of exhaustion suddenly appeared on Lin Ze's face: "If I am not in the army, these things will all depend on you to preside, remember, you must not be too soft, it is human nature to make inches." ”

Chen Ping's face was entangled: "But in this case, there will be endless troubles." ”

Lin Ze smiled lightly: "It's hard to say whether there will be any troubles later, how can you take care of the troubles?" ”

After speaking, Lin Ze stood up and said to everyone: "Tomorrow, the Japanese Marquis will leave the army, and within a month, he will definitely go to the Western Regions to join you, and the affairs of the army will be left to you." ”

The people in the tent got up, bowed down, and said, "The last general obeys." ”

......

On the second day, Lin Ze watched the 200,000 army go north and leave, and the whole person went straight into the sky and disappeared.
