Chapter 825: Soldiers are approaching Chang'an
"Report, Qi Qi the lord of the country, Liu Ji's army captured Bingcheng three days ago, more than 600 miles away from Chang'an. ”
"Report, Qi Yu the lord of the country, Liu Ji's army captured Huayin, more than 500 miles away from Chang'an. ”
"Report, Qi Qi the lord of the country, Liu Ji's army is stationed in Weinan, which is still more than 200 miles away from Chang'an. ”
One urgent report after another, under the urgent delivery of Jinyiwei, was sent to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze was amazed when he heard it, and in his opinion, Confucianism was really crazy.
The 100,000 army not only traveled 200 miles a day, desperately rushed, but also attacked the city and plundered the land, and fought from Hangu Pass to Weinan in just three days, which was really hard enough.
Aren't you afraid that Emperor Qin will be ruthless to them?
In comparison, Lin Ze was much slower, only advancing a hundred miles a day, and by the way, he swept the county and county officials along the way, but if there were officials of the Qin State who went out of the city to surrender, Lin Ze did not refuse to come.
Some of them were stubborn and resisted to the death, but Lin Ze did not kill them directly, but gave them to those who took refuge as a letter of surrender.
Whoever refuses to be stained with the blood of the recalcitrant people, Lin Ze does not force it, so he will be treated as a recalcitrant person together, the Qin State has ruled the world for more than 100 years, and the most important thing is the officials.
Huguan and Chang'an are separated by thousands of miles, and when Liu Ji's army entered Weinan, the Western Qin army under the leadership of Lin Ze only walked a third of the way.
Even Zhuang Zhou, who was indifferent by nature, couldn't help but urge twice.
It's just that Lin Ze went his own way, and he didn't hear it, and insisted on moving forward at this unhurried speed.
Urging twice to no avail, Zhuang Zhou no longer followed the army and rushed to Chang'an on his own, for fear of missing an opportunity.
Although he drew lots and drew the last one, Zhuang Zhou didn't care at all, in case the first eleven didn't work, wouldn't it be his turn?
On the fifth day, Lin Ze finished breakfast slowly, and when he ordered the whole army to set off after the army was cleaned up, news came from Jinyiwei again.
"Report, Liu Ji's army was ambushed by the Qin army outside the city of Weinan, and the two sides fought for a day, nearly half of the 100,000 Liu Ji were killed and wounded, and hundreds of Confucian soldiers were killed and wounded. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the South Vietnamese army led by Buddhism, Liu Ji's army almost collapsed. ”
A smile flashed on Lin Ze's face, and he ordered, "Keep exploring." ”
Jin Yiwei retreated, and Lin Ze ordered the army unhurriedly: "The whole army set off, target Huanglong County, and spend the night in Huanglong County." ”
......
In Weinan, the Confucian Meng Ke, Yan Hui, Xun Kuang, Zeng Shen, the Buddhist Maitreya, the Burning Lamp, the Dizang, and the Guanyin gathered together above the clouds.
Meng Ke looked at the demoralized army, sighed slightly, and said: "It was Confucianism who underestimated the Qin Emperor's government, knowing that there were a large number of Confucian powerhouses with the army, and dared to send a large army to attack, even at the cost of defeat, to defeat Liu Ji's army." ”
"If it weren't for the decisive rescue of the Buddhas of Buddhism, after this battle, Confucianism would have suffered heavy losses, and Meng Ke thanked him here. ”
Maitreya clasped his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's trumpet: "Amitabha, Buddhism and Confucianism are allies, and it is really their duty to support each other, so why should Meng Ke benefactor be so outside?"
Meng Ke smiled reluctantly when he heard this: "What the Maitreya Buddha Lord said is very true, he is under Meng Lang." ”
Yan Hui said on the side: "The rescue of Buddhism, Confucianism should be recorded, but now that Confucianism's strength is too damaged, how should Qin be cut down next?"
Jizang answered: "Yan Shengxian, please be relieved, Buddhism and Confucianism are combined into one, with more than 200,000 troops, plus the strength of the accompanying Buddhist Confucian disciples, it is not a problem to come and capture Chang'an." ”
Meng Ke shook his head and said: "From the perspective below, the strength of the Qin army is not weak, and relying on the 200,000 army alone is not completely sure to capture Chang'an. ”
"Isn't it the Three Churches Alliance this time? I don't know where the palace army has arrived and when it will arrive in Chang'an?"
Xun Jing continued: "Senior brother, I have sent my disciples to investigate the whereabouts of the Dao Palace army, and I think there will be results soon." ”
The burning lamp on the side said: "Don't wait, the poor monk disciples have just received news that the Dao Palace army is still in Huanglong County, and according to their marching speed, it will take at least five days to reach Chang'an." ”
Meng Ke said with an unhappy look on his face when he heard this: "The three sects to attack Qin were originally a big plan set by the three saints, and the Confucian Buddhism responded positively and marched desperately, but I didn't expect the Dao Palace to be so sluggish. Zhuang Zhou didn't know the importance of this matter, how could he dare to delay it like this?"
Jizang said quietly: "Yasheng has misunderstood Zhuang Zhou, as far as my Buddhism knows, it is not Zhuang Zhou who is really responsible for cutting down Qin, but Lin Ze, the new disciple of Dao Sheng. ”
"This person was originally the prince of the Qin State, and he wanted to come because he cherished his homeland and refused to work hard. ”
Randen said on the side: "If it is in normal times, this Lin Ze is unwilling to work hard, and now that the three sects are still doing this, wouldn't it trap the allies? Confucianism suffered this catastrophe, and this Lin Ze has to bear at least half of the responsibility." ”
The four of Confucianism glanced at each other and said in a deep voice: "How can you let that Lin Ze mess around? We will send someone to urge him to speed up, rush to Chang'an within three days, and attack Chang'an with us." ”
The four of the Buddhas responded: "Yes, you must put pressure on the Dao Palace, how can you mess with that Lin Ze?"
Soon, the eight reached an agreement and forced Lin Ze to attack Chang'an as soon as possible.
As for whether it is for public or selfishness, I am afraid that only the parties themselves know.
......
In Huanglong County, in the evening, Lin Ze leisurely comprehended the way of heaven by consuming excess luck, and "irrigated" his own avenue seeds.
The original rice grain of the Great Dao seed has grown slightly after a long period of "irrigation".
Seeing that the new luck was sharply depleted, Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh: "The road is long. ”
Just as Lin Ze sighed, Zhuang Zhou's figure appeared in front of his eyes, and he said angrily: "Senior brother is so Yaxing, do you know that Buddhism and Confucianism are angry and want you to march quickly and arrive in Chang'an?"
Then Zhuang Zhou found him the eight Third Realm Heavenly Beings of Buddhism and Confucianism, and asked him to urge Lin Ze to enter the army as soon as possible.
When Lin Ze heard this, he was surprised and said, "But why do I want to listen to Buddhism and Confucianism? Just because they are angry, my junior brother has to accommodate them?"
Zhuang Zhou coughed lightly and said, "Senior brother, that's not what I said, after all, Dao Buddha and Confucianism have joined forces to attack Qin, and everyone is now an ally." ”
Lin Ze asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with the allies? The allies can force the Dao Palace to do things?"
Zhuang Zhou was speechless for a while, and continued to persuade: Senior and junior should focus on the overall situation......"
Lin Ze directly interrupted: "Dare to ask Senior Brother, what is the overall situation? Is the overall situation that Senior Brother is talking about, is it the overall situation of the Qin Dynasty, or the overall situation of the Dao Palace, or the overall situation of Buddhism and Confucianism?"
"If it is the overall situation of Qin, the junior brother will fight steadily and steadily, all the way to Qin, until Chang'an, is there anything wrong?"
"If it is the overall situation of the Dao Palace, the junior brother is capturing Qin Land at the smallest cost and preserving his strength, is there anything wrong with it?"
"If it is the overall situation of Buddhism and Confucianism, why should the Taoist Palace accommodate them?"
Lin Ze's crooked reasoning Zhuang Zhou was stunned, and even began to fall into self-doubt.
After half a ring, Zhuang Zhou suddenly realized: "I see, Buddhism and Confucianism have bad intentions and want to drag my Taoist Palace into the water." Junior brother is right, ignore them, just do what you want. ”
"If Buddhism and Confucianism have opinions, they have their own senior brothers who come forward to stand up, and the senior brothers can't stand it, and there are teachers here, but they can't follow their way. ”
Lin Ze showed appreciation on his face: "Senior brother is clear, junior brother will definitely live up to expectations." ”
Regardless of how Zhuang Zhou quarreled with Buddhism and Confucianism, Lin Ze led the army, slowly captured the counties along the way, and came to thirty miles outside Chang'an City.
