In Luoning County, 100,000 Western Qin entered the city in batches, changed the royal flag, and officially announced that the city had changed hands.

Lin Ze climbed the city wall and looked at the direction of the Han Kingdom in the east, his expression was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking in secret.

A team of brocade-clothed guards escorted five people dressed in gorgeous costumes, who looked like local gentry to Lin Ze, bowed and saluted:

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others were ordered by Your Majesty to take a big look at the whole city, except for the five great families in the city, no one suspected of being a spy of the Han State was found. ”

"The ministers have detained all the people of the five great families, and brought the five heads of the families to be disposed of by His Majesty. ”

The five family heads who were on the edge of the sword and were in a panic, when they saw Lin Ze in a dragon robe, they suddenly broke down, fell to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin and others are just ordinary people, and they are definitely not spies of the Han Kingdom. ”

One of the slightly older family heads had an idea and said: "Your Majesty, the villain family has been the people of Qin for generations, and now the Qin State is banned by Western Qin, and the land and people are all owned by Western Qin, and the villain family should be the people of Western Qin." ”

"The villain is willing to donate half of his family wealth as military expenses for the army, and I hope Your Majesty will accept it. ”

Lin Ze glanced indifferently at the five people kneeling on the ground, and said in a flat tone: "Take it down and review it well, if it is a spy of the Han State, raid the family and exterminate the clan, if not, as he said, half of the family property will be confiscated for military expenses." ”

"In the future, when the city returned to the city under the rule of the Western Qin, this example should be referred to, in addition, it is not allowed to kill people at will and seek to rob other people's property, and violators will be severely punished. ”

"When the place of return is to rebuild the official government, an official should be selected from the family for a temporary generation, if the performance is good, you can become a formal official of the Western Qin, and those who do not perform well will be exempted from official positions. ”

Lin Ze decided in two sentences the disposition of the wealthy families in the Han Kingdom.

A group of brocade guards bowed down and responded: "The ministers obey the order." ”

Lin Ze continued: "The person who presided over this matter, after the fact, I will go to you to command the envoy to get fifty military sticks, if I still need to teach me how to examine such a trivial matter as spies, then take off this flying fish suit and go home to farm." ”

"Your superiors are guilty of the same crime as you, and ten military sticks will be added to each higher rank, until the commander is in charge. If it cannot be corrected, resign as soon as possible, so as not to die at the hands of Wu Fan, the governor of the capital. ”

Hearing this, the brocade-clothed guards showed a look of panic on their faces, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The ministers will die, and Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and if you are wrong, fifty military sticks are enough to offset it, and there will be no more punishments, so retreat." ”

"The ministers are leaving," the brocade guards bowed again, quickly got up from the ground, and escorted the five family heads away quickly.

After the brocade guards left, Lin Ze couldn't help but rub his forehead, for him, although it was just a trivial matter to beat the slack Jinyi guards by the way, there were too many such trivial things, which were annoying.

At this time, a figure rushed over, stopped a few meters away from Lin Ze, bowed down and said, "Weichen Wu Fan greets Your Majesty." ”

Lin Ze swept away his previous irritability and asked in a deep voice, "What is the movement of the Han Kingdom, can you find out clearly?"

Wu Fan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have made it clear that the Han army in Luoning County received a military order to withdraw two days ago. The minister deduced that when His Majesty led the army out of Chang'an, the Han State Xizuo, who was lurking in Chang'an, spread the news. ”

"Not only Luoning County, the Han army of the entire Wei and Han land has gathered in Yangzhai, a total of 120,000, the commander of this army is named Jiang Shang, who once led the army to block the army of Chu, and is very good at the art of war. ”

In addition, the Han State also sent a large army of about 50,000 people, Xingchi to reinforce Yang Zhai, wanting to block the Western Qin soldiers in the land of Wei and Han. ”

Lin Ze thought for a moment and chuckled: "The Confucian reaction is quite timely, it seems that there will be a tough battle to be fought in Yangzhai City." ”

"The order went down, and the army rested in Luoning County for a day, set off early tomorrow morning, and set up camp outside Yangzhai City in the evening. ”

Wu Fan bowed and responded, "No." ”

......

Yang Zhai and Luo Ning are only more than 200 miles apart, and when Shen was on the second day, the fierce Western Qin army had already approached the city.

The Han army stationed in Yangzhai was not slow to react, and when they saw the figure of the Western Qin army from a distance, they beat the warning drum.

According to Jiang Shang's arrangement, 10,000 troops climbed the city wall, counted the city defense equipment, and prepared to defend it head-on, and another 20,000 troops responded under the city wall.

Lin Ze did not choose to attack the city immediately, and ordered 30,000 cavalry to wander outside Yangzhai City to prevent the Han army from sneaking out of the city, and the rest of the soldiers cut down trees and set up camp three miles outside the city.

The soldiers came from a long journey, and their physical exertion was huge, so they had to rest for two days.

Jiang Shang, who was standing on the city wall and preparing to supervise the battle, saw that Western Qin had no intention of attacking the city, and said loudly: "Where is Lin Ze, the king of Qin?

After Lin Ze heard this, he turned to look at Zhuang Zhou beside him and asked, "Senior brother, can you deduce whether there is an ambush in the city?"

Zhuang Zhou closed his eyes for a moment, shook his head and said: "The heavenly machine has been disrupted by someone's attack, and the cultivation of the person who made the attack is above me, and it is impossible to penetrate, so it is impossible to calculate whether there is an ambush in the city." ”

"However, the junior brother should be more worried, the Buddha and the Confucian saint are not going to do such a thing, and do the assassin thing with the dignity of a saint. ”

Lin Ze nodded and said, "That makes sense, can I ask Senior Brother to go with me?"

Zhuang Zhou was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "Let's go." ”

Lin Ze said with a serious face: "Senior brother, please first." ”

Zhuang Zhou......

The two figures soared into the air almost at the same time, staying in the mid-air in front of Yang Zhai City.

Lin Zelang said: "I have heard the name of the Soldier Saint for a long time, I don't know why the Soldier Saint is looking for me?"

Jiang Shang's figure floated, maintaining the same height as Lin Zezhuang Zhou, and said with a smile: "The old man heard that King Qin is a generation of heroes, heroes of the world, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Lin Ze frowned slightly when he heard this: "The soldier saint came to me solemnly, it won't be just to say a few words of nonsense, right?"

Jiang Shang's expression froze, the embarrassment on his face flashed, and he laughed: "King Qin is straightforward, worthy of being the hero of the establishment of Western Qin, since this is the case, the old man said it bluntly, dare to ask King Qin if he believes in the mandate of heaven?"

Lin Ze frowned again, what the hell is this problem? Everyone is out to fight, and you ask this to make people think that you are out to tell fortunes.

Lin Ze replied angrily: "If the soldier saint thinks that the military is boring, how about I send a hundred singers to the soldier saint when I go back?"

It means that you are going to be idle, can I find you something to do?

Jiang Shang's face turned dark, the person in front of him was really a generation of monarchs, the person who was destined to return? Why didn't he answer, how could this battle be fought?

Jiang Shang said with some reluctance: "King Qin knows that your every move is in the calculation, just like your dispatch of troops this time, the old man has already calculated how many troops you will take to the battle, when to arrive in Luoning County, and when to arrive under Yangzhai City." ”

Lin Ze was surprised and said: "Did the soldier saint count the defeat of the Han Kingdom and the annihilation of the whole army, and he almost died at my hands?"

Jiang Shang's face turned completely dark, and he said angrily: "Will King Qin only take advantage of his tongue?"

Lin Ze said angrily when he heard this: "Jiang Shang, you are called a soldier saint in vain, and you dare to say such foul words in front of everyone, this emperor is ashamed to be with you." ”

"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Jiang Shang, wait for the battle. ”

After saying this, Lin Ze turned around and left, leaving Jiang Shang messy in the wind, at a loss.

Zhuang Zhou followed behind Lin Ze and laughed softly: "Senior brother is really good at it, and he easily broke Jiang Shangbu's game. ”

Lin Ze was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What bureau?"

Zhuang Zhou asked rhetorically: "Doesn't the junior brother know that there is a secret hidden in Jiang Shang's words, if he succeeds in his calculations, the junior brother will lose part of his luck, and the morale of the army that will go out with the junior brother this time will also drop?"

Lin Ze gasped and said, "Jiang Shang is so vicious, why didn't Senior Brother remind me?"

Zhuang Zhou exclaimed: "Didn't the junior brother see it? I saw that the junior brother was talking to him and refused to answer, and I thought that the junior brother had already seen through it." ”

A black line appeared on Lin Ze's face: "Senior brother, remember to remind me next time, if you accidentally fall into the calculation, it won't be miserable?"

"I didn't expect that some people are called a certain saint on the surface, but in fact they are so insidious. ”
