Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "That's right, the teacher knows very well that the Buddha and the Confucian Sage have bad intentions towards me who is destined for heaven, and still arrange for the senior brother to protect me, there must be his considerations." ”

"The realm of the saint is unfathomable, so the junior brother is too worried and has not thought it through, and I hope that the senior brother will not be strange. ”

Zhuang Zhou snorted coldly, looking unwilling to deal with Lin Ze.

Lin Ze hurriedly leaned over and refilled Zhuang Zhou with a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "The safety of the junior brother is up to the senior brother." ”

Zhuang Zhou took a sip of the teacup, and said with a soothing face: "As long as the junior brother is willing to trust me, you will naturally be safe." ”

Lin Ze responded: "Believe, how can you not believe it, if Senior Brother can teach me a secret method to save my life, it will be even better." ”

Zhuang Zhou......

If he could, Lin Ze would definitely not want to put his own safety in the hands of others.

With Lin Ze's character, not to mention that this person is just a senior brother, even if it is a parent, it is better to rely on himself.

After being silent for a while, Zhuang Zhou said in a quiet tone: "The means that senior brother uses to save his life is a natural supernatural power, not a secret method, he can't teach you, and you can't learn it." ”

Lin Ze was a little disappointed when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Then you can only trouble Senior Brother." ”

"Come on, spread my holy decree, in addition to the soldiers stationed in the counties and counties, the rest of the people in Guanzhong will immediately gather outside Chang'an City, I want to drive the personal expedition, sweep away the rebellious party, and let the world return to Haiyan Heqing. ”

"Ordered the household department to be the main Shangshu Qianyuan, Chang'an ordered Zhou Xing to be the auxiliary, to raise grain and grass within five days, and the county officials cooperated, and if there was any neglect, they would be severely punished. ”

In addition, Chen Pingzhang was ordered to march to the border of the Han State on three days, keep an eye on the movements of the Han State, and once the time is ripe, immediately cross the river to the south, and the goal is directly aimed at Linzi. ”

The subordinate officials who got Lin Ze's orders hurriedly drafted three documents, and after Lin Ze confirmed them, they arranged for someone to send them out.

Half an hour later, the guards reported: "Your Majesty, Chang'an ordered Zhou Xing to ask to see him." ”

Lin Ze, who was stalking Zhuang Zhou and wanted to put some secret methods from him, responded: "Pass." ”

The newly appointed Chang'an Ling Zhou Xing came to Lin Ze, bowed down and said, "Minister Zhou Xing greets Your Majesty." ”

Lin Ze stretched out his hand and said, "What is Zhou Qing doing here?"

Zhou Xing bowed again and said, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition?"

Lin Ze nodded in response: "That's right, I have this intention." ”

Zhou Xing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, and the minister asks Your Majesty to retract the order." ”

"There are two prerequisites for the royal driving campaign, the one is a last resort, and the second one is sure to win. ”

"Now that Western Qin is coercive in all directions, there are countless people who are good at fighting, and Your Majesty does not need to go out in person. If Your Majesty wants to sweep away the Kwantung bandits, he only needs to send a general. ”

"If you win, it's good to say, if it's unfavorable, it will damage Your Majesty's majesty, and this move will have disadvantages and no advantages, please think twice." ”

Lin Ze looked at Zhou Xing with a surprised expression, he didn't expect that this civil official, who he thought could only sneak around, would have some real talent.

What Zhou Xing said, if it is placed in an ordinary dynasty, it cannot be more reasonable.

But Xiqin is not an ordinary dynasty, and Lin Ze is not an ordinary monarch, to put it mildly, if he can't win the imperial expedition, Xiqin can almost directly declare it over.

Therefore, Lin Ze has to be a royal driver.

Due to the limitations of the pattern, it was difficult for Lin Ze to explain to Zhou Xing why he wanted to drive the expedition in person, and he didn't bother to explain, so he just said indifferently: "I have my own thoughts, and I have made up my mind, Zhou Qing just concentrates on logistics." ”

Zhou Xing replied helplessly when he heard this: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

......

Outside Chang'an City, Lin Ze stood on the platform with black dragon scale armor, and the army under the stage stood up and lined up in ten phalanxes, and a strong killing aura emanated from the Western Qin soldiers, almost condensed into frost.

Lin Ze was very satisfied with the state shown by the army, and said loudly: "Sons, do you dare to sweep the world with me?"

One hundred thousand Western Qin soldiers responded loudly in unison: "Dare, dare, dare." ”

Lin Ze pulled out the Tianwen Sword at his waist, pointed directly to the east and said, "Okay, the whole army will set off." ”

A "hiss" sounded, and the first to move was the cavalry, and 30,000 iron horsemen took the lead, pouring up the straight road, kicking up a puff of dust.

As the front army, following behind the cavalry were infantry such as halberders and broadsword soldiers.

Surrounded by Lin Zelong, there were 30,000 Chinese troops, followed by 20,000 carefully selected crossbowmen.

The auxiliary army escorted the grain cart to the end, which was also the safest place.

Chang'an is only 400 miles away from Hangu Pass, and 100,000 troops set out from Chang'an in the morning and come to the pass in the evening of the next day.

Yu Ziqi, who had already learned the news, took a group of military generals stationed at Hangu Pass, stood in front of the pass, bowed down, and shouted in unison: "The ministers meet Your Majesty." ”

Lin Ze's spiritual sense quickly swept through the Hangu Pass, and except for the two thousand soldiers on duty on the city wall, the rest were all gathered together, as if to welcome his arrival.

Some of the soldiers looked extremely tired, but they stood there with a strong spirit, motionless.

Seeing this, Lin Ze frowned slightly, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Yuzi period, the soldiers should be on duty, the rest should be rested, and the training should be trained, what are you going to do when they gather together?"

"Those who know think you're welcoming me, and those who don't think you're demonstrating to me. ”

Yu Ziqi was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and forcibly calmed down: "This matter is a minister's mistake, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Yu Ziqi has been with Lin Ze for many years, and he knows Lin Ze's character, if he is wrong, he will be wrong, and if he forcibly defends, he will only be punished very severely, so he simply admits his mistakes.

Lin Ze said "um": "Let them disperse, arrange for people to settle the army I brought, remember, no discrimination, if this arouses the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, I only ask." ”

Lin Ze said this, not because he was worried that Yu Ziqi would treat the army he brought slowly, but because he was afraid that Yu Ziqi would make his own decisions and entertain the soldiers he brought was higher than the original Hangu Pass guards, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Hangu Pass guards.

The way of governing the army is first of all clear rewards and punishments, and secondly, all of them are treated equally, if these two points cannot be guaranteed, the elite will never be trained.

Yu Ziqi's heart was completely dissipated, and he bowed down and responded: "The minister will do it." ”

After a while, Lin Ze watched as the 100,000 army entered Hangu Pass, and there was not a single one left.

The logistics quartermaster led a group of people to methodically assign camp tents to them and distribute food.

The tent was left before, and you can move in with a simple interruption.

The food is exactly the same as that of the Hangu Pass garrison, the only difference is that the 100,000 troops brought by Lin Ze can be eaten in advance.

......

The army did not stay long when it entered Hangu Pass, and only rested for one night, and early the next morning, Lin Ze took them, except for Hangu Pass, and went straight to Luoning, the garrison of the Han State.

In history, in the first year of Western Qin, the emperor led an army of 100,000 to the east, and the Han guards of Luoning County abandoned the city and fled.
