Chapter 571: Northward and Westward

On the outskirts of Chang'an City, Lin Ze looked at Meng Yi and Zhang Han who were dressed in military uniforms, and said with a serious face: "Is it clear what to do when you go to the Northland?"

Meng Yi looked at Lin Ze with a complicated face, when Emperor Qin ordered everyone to choose as the son's companion, he was born in a wealthy family and unanimously chose Fusu, who was favored by him, Lin Ze as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, his status was low, and he could only accompany Hu Hai.

Who knew that in the past ten years, the situation of the two has undergone great changes, first Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, and Lin Ze served as one of the Shaofu of the Nine Qings as the minister of Conglong, the confidant of the new emperor.

Then Lin Ze quelled Chen She's rebellion, made great contributions, and became one of the three princes.

The most important thing is that Lin Ze broke through the Grandmaster Realm and became the youngest Grandmaster since the founding of Great Qin, if nothing else, a hundred years later, Great Qin will have one more wealthy family - the Lin family.

Jealousy, envy, maybe both, Meng Yi thought to himself.

Lin Ze looked at Meng Yi for a long time and was silent, frowning slightly, "Something?"

Meng Yi came back to his senses at this time, bowed his hand and replied: "Meng Yi has remembered what the champion Hou explained, but I dare not guarantee what choice my father will make." ”

Lin Ze laughed: "Tell Meng Tian for Ben Hou that the day the Hu people go south is also the day when the three hundred and forty-six members of the Meng family die, if your father wants to rely on your father and son to rebuild the Meng family, he can choose whatever he wants." ”

Meng Yi's face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Champion Hou is also a master of the art of war, no one can say for sure what happened on the battlefield, it's a big deal that my father and son died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouded body, why should I implicate my family?"

Lin Ze replied indifferently: "Either repel the Hu people, no matter how bad it is, you have to block the Hu people from going south, or the Meng family will be destroyed, your Meng family has no choice, and there is no third result." ”

Meng Yi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Lin Ze saw it in his eyes and didn't care, if he didn't put the cruel words in front, who knew if Meng Tian, who had a tendon, would take the Northland Army south to avenge Fusu?

On the side, Zhang Han looked at Meng Yi's appearance, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, and me, isn't it just Hu Ren?" ”

Lin Ze snorted coldly: "Zhang Han, do you remember, Benhou asked you to take 50,000 troops to the Northland, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Lin Ze's cold face, Zhang Han couldn't help but shrink his head and whispered, "I'm going to be a prisoner." ”

"That's it?" Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and asked.

The cold sweat on Zhang Han's forehead immediately flowed, and he bowed and saluted: "Please also ask the Hou Ye to make it clear." ”

Lin Ze asked calmly: "If Meng Tian wins a big victory and the Hu people retreat north, what should you do?"

Zhang Han straightened up and said: "Lead the army to chase the dead and chase the north, so that the Hu people will not dare to go south to herd horses." ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly: "What if Meng Tian is defeated?"

Zhang Han replied without thinking: "Desperately resist, never let the Hu people take half a step south." ”

"Stupid," Lin Ze said coldly.

Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, what did he say wrong?

"If Meng Tian is defeated, you must gather the remnants of the army as soon as possible, and lead the remnants of the army to retreat south in time to preserve the vitality of the Northland Army as much as possible. ”

"What about the people of the North?" Zhang Han asked subconsciously.

"If Meng Tian is defeated, can you still control the people of the North?" Lin Ze's voice was calm, listening to Zhang Han Mengyi's ears, but it was as cold as the cold wind of the moon.

Seeing Zhang Han trying to open his mouth to debate, Lin Ze shouted coldly: "Zhang Han, you have remembered to Ben Hou that military affairs are not child's play, everything is based on the overall situation, otherwise the Hu people will go south, and the Zhang family will be exterminated together with the Meng family." ”

Zhang Han's face was pale, so he had to nod, looking a little lost.

Then the two left with an army of 50,000, and this army of 50,000 was selected by Lin Ze for Han Xin from hundreds of thousands of allied forces.

In the past, Li Si was defeated, and these hundreds of thousands of troops were all reduced to prisoners, Lin Ze looked at the waste, so Han Xin selected half of them, and the other half was sent to the suburbs to farm.

After several major battles, the 200,000 army led by Lin Ze has many people talking about merit, and it is time to be promoted to a military position.

The 50,000 troops led by Zhang Han, all of whom were officers above the centurion, came from it.

Lin Ze could not guarantee that every soldier would be loyal, but he could try his best to make every officer loyal.

......

After sending Meng Yi Zhang Han away, Wu Shi came over with a group of retainers and said goodbye to Lin Ze.

This time, the Wu clan was entrusted with an important task and led an army of 100,000 to support Wang Li, which can be said to be in the limelight among the magnates, and he is grateful to Dade for Lin Ze, who proposed this matter.

So the person who led the team this time was the eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Qingchi.

Wu Qingchi looked at Lin Ze, bent down deeply and saluted: "Champion Hou Ti's grace, Wu Shi is unforgettable, if there is anything to do with the champion Hou in other days, Wu Shi can help, please Hou Ye do it." ”

In Wu's view, going to the Western Regions is a rare and good opportunity to make contributions.

In particular, the Wushi caravan travels west all the year round, and it is easier to obtain huge benefits if they are well aware of the situation in the west.

"There's no need to be polite," Lin Ze said indifferently, "If Ben Hou remembers correctly, since Great Qin dominated the world, the Wu clan has been declining day by day, and I hope that the Wu clan can seize this opportunity to regain its former glory." ”

Wu Qingchi replied respectfully: "I will obey the orders of the Hou Ye." ”

Then he took out a jade box from his sleeve, held it in front of Lin Ze with both hands, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Hou Ye's new grandmaster, he definitely needs some heavenly and earthly treasures to consolidate his cultivation, this is a little bit of Wu's heart, and I ask Hou Ye to smile." ”

Lin Ze took it calmly, sensed it, and couldn't help but have a hint of surprise on his face: "Eight Rank Soul Nourishing Grass?

Eight-grade soul nourishing grass, as the name suggests, is a heavenly material with a level of up to eight grades, and it can be used to warm the soul of the gods.

Of course, the Seven-Rank Grandmaster Realm can also be used, but it is a bit wasteful.

Lin Ze said with a smile: "Well, this heart, Ben Hou likes it very much." ”

Wu Qingchi's attitude was still respectful: "It's good if Hou Ye likes it, if Hou Ye doesn't dislike it, Wu Ye is willing to collect this kind of treasure for Hou Ye, and only asks Hou Ye to take proper care of Wu Shi." ”

Lin Ze glanced at Wu Qingchi with a little appreciation, and nodded: "Yes, if the Wu clan can really provide Ben Hou with more such treasures, let alone take care of the Wu clan, even if it is to let Ben Hou publicly declare his protection for the Wu clan, why is it difficult?"

When Wu Qingchi heard this, he was overjoyed, and he bet right, the champion of the new grandmaster, Hou, really had a soft spot for the treasures of gain cultivation, and it was not in vain that the Wu clan took out such treasures and took this line.

If nothing else, as the new emperor's confidant, he can be in power for at least a hundred years, and the Wu clan, who has successfully taken this line, if he can maintain it well, he can maintain the lintel for a hundred years.

Wu Qingchi said with a straight face: "Please rest assured that the Wu clan will definitely do its best to collect treasures for the Hou Ye, but it's just ......"

Speaking of the back, Wu Qingchi suddenly stopped talking and waited for Lin Ze's response.

Lin Ze stretched out a finger and said: "Ten years, the Wu clan collected a treasure equivalent to the soul nourishing grass for Ben Hou, Ben Hou blessed the Wu clan for ten years, as long as the Wu clan did not rebel, Ben Hou could ensure that the Wu clan would not be destroyed." ”

Wu Qingchi only hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively: "Thank you to the Hou Ye in the next generation of the Wu clan." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "It's not early, let's go quickly, the front line doesn't wait for anyone." ”

Wu Qingchi bowed slightly and left with an army of 100,000.

Like the 50,000 army led by Zhang Han, these 100,000 troops, the officers in the army, are also drawn from Lin Ze's direct army, and meritorious people are also recruited.
