With the wholehearted cooperation of all families, Li Xin's preparations and aftermath work were done very smoothly.

Due to Lin Ze's request, Li Xin gave priority to concentrating manpower and material resources to complete the resettlement and compensation of the dead and wounded.

This move was naturally seen by the surviving soldiers, and everyone only felt warm in their hearts, and their belief in serving Daqin was a little stronger.

On buying people's hearts, Lin Ze, who has liked to read history books since he was a child, said that he can easily use ordinary means.

Of course, Lin Ze did this not only to buy people's hearts, but he felt that he should do this and try not to owe everyone.

This is at least worthy of his conscience, although Lin Ze himself doesn't know if he has that thing.

According to Lin Ze's order, the disciples of the Sword Pavilion who were proficient in the way of assassination crossed the mountains and mountains and headed for the Nanzhao Qunzhai.

They will do their best to make the clansmen left behind in Nanzhao dare not go out hunting.

For this reason, Lin Ze promised to dream that after this battle, the elders of the Sword Pavilion could recruit a thousand disciples in Chang'an, and the government would fully cooperate and provide the resources for the new disciples to cultivate in the early stage.

For the Sword Pavilion, copper ore is a good thing, but it is still not as important as the expansion of its own power.

Besides, a group of people who can only kill people with swords, how much talent can you expect them to run an industry?

If these disciples could successfully kill a thousand Nanzhao people and come back alive, Lin Ze would also be responsible for the cultivation resources of the Middle Grade Realm.

This was Lin Ze's promise to these Sword Pavilion disciples who were fighting for their lives and wealth.

......

During this time, the Qizong did not produce any armor arrows, but produced "black powder" according to the formula given by Lin Ze.

The formula is not from Lin Ze's memories of his previous life, to be honest, can you expect a college student who only knows how to play games and flirt with girls all day long, to memorize any gunpowder formula?

Unless he already knew that he could cross over, who would remember such a boring thing, is it because the game is not fun, or the girl is not good-looking?

This recipe was sorted out by Xiao Jin when Lin Ze was studying alchemy before, originally Lin Ze didn't think about letting it appear, after all, the development of the technology tree had too much impact on the martial arts.

But Nanzhao is mostly deep mountains and old forests, if there is no gunpowder to open the way, let alone destroy Nanzhao, it is estimated that even people may not be able to find it.

Otherwise, why did Nanzhao hold out for so long under the front of the Southern Army?

It's not just that you can fight if you can't beat it, and you can run if you can't beat it.

Regarding the progress of the production of "black powder" by the Qizong, Lin Ze had to praise: "It is worthy of being born in the Mo family, and the technology is not to say." ”

Lin Ze believes that he can definitely give Nanzhao a lesson that he will never forget.

......

Truckloads of dried herbs and grains were pulled out of the Bajia treasury and transported to the military camp in the city, which Lin Ze could only describe in eight words: "Rich and rich."

In addition, the Ba family also encouraged the children of the family to bring their own weapons and armor to participate in the conscription selection.

All the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao who knew the art of medicine and the art of talisman were all recruited by Lin Ze, and some of them formed a military medical battalion to treat the wounded soldiers in the following war.

A part of it forms the Talisman Battalion, which provides "magical" bombardment for the army.

Lin Ze has seen Zhang Liang make a move, and in the case of sufficient talismans, as long as the spiritual power is not used up, it is almost equivalent to an infinite firepower bomber.

In the end, Lin Ze went to the barracks.

Li Xin and Yu Ziqi combined a total of 150,000 troops, and after that bitter battle, excluding the wounded who could no longer fight, only 50,000 were relatively intact.

With the addition of 20,000 new recruits, there are only 70,000 troops in the huge barracks.

Lin Ze did not go to the barracks with great fanfare, but hid his figure, like an assassin, and secretly took a look at the training and food of the soldiers.

Lin Ze, who found that everything was normal, made a brief round, completely abandoned the military affairs to Li Xin and Yu Ziqi, and once again indulged in the process of martial arts cultivation.

Lin Ze originally thought that he would break through the grandmaster and take a breath and enjoy the life of a strong man, but who knew that he suddenly found that a group of old immortals were hiding in the dark, and maybe one day they would come out and make trouble.

In order not to become cannon fodder and chess pieces, Lin Ze could only cultivate harder.

After five days like this, Han Xin came to Shudu with 200,000 yuan.

On the same day, after Wu Fan visited Lin Ze, he arranged for a group of brocade guards to leave Shudu and devote themselves to the deep mountains and old forests.

The next day, the 200,000 army repaired in Shudu for a day, joined forces with the original 50,000 veterans in Shudu, and marched south under the command of Lin Ze.

On the left side of the army, a team of elite cavalry escorted hundreds of carriages forward, and inside the carriages, boxes were full of black powder sealed in iron boxes, which was the secret weapon that Lin Ze brought this time.

At this time, the scouts came with news that the Nanzhao army, which still had 350,000 people, was still stationed in Hongyan Mountain at the junction of Shu and Nanyun, and it seemed that they planned to stay there like this, neither north nor south.

While receiving the latest news from Jinyiwei, Lin Ze led the army to the vicinity of Hongyan Mountain, about ten miles away, and chose an unnamed mountain with sufficient water sources to set up camp.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

In the evening, Han Xin came to Lin Ze's camp tent, bowed down and saluted: "The last general has already arranged the military affairs in hand, and inspected the military camp, I wonder if the Hou Ye has any other arrangements?"

Lin Ze looked at Han Xin with a resolute face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately, he found Han Xin earlier, otherwise how could it be so easy to lead the troops to fight?

Lin Ze pointed to the seat next to him and said, "General Han, please take a seat, Ben Hou has a few words to say to you." ”

Hearing this, Han Xin sat down upright, and arched his hand: "Please ask Master Hou to command." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, Ben Hou Guan has reached the peak of your martial arts cultivation, I don't know when you will be able to break through to the Grandmaster?"

Han Xin's face turned solemn when he heard this: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, to a large extent, the cultivation of the military family depends on the power of the army, and if the last general wants to break through the grandmaster realm, he still needs to absorb a large amount of the power of the army." ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly and said, "This matter has also been heard by Ben Hou, in addition to the power of the army, do you need other auxiliary breakthroughs?"

Han Xin thought for a moment and said, "The inheritance that the last general will accept doesn't seem to need these. ”

"Since this is the case, Ben Hou immediately ordered that you be the commander of the army, I hope it can be helpful to you," Lin Ze said categorically.

After thinking about it, Lin Ze still felt that there were too few strong grandmasters in the Qin State, and they were not enough at all, and if there was one more grandmaster, the situation would be much better.

Han Xin frowned and persuaded: "Changing the commander in battle is a taboo for the soldiers, and please think twice." ”

Lin Ze said happily when he heard this: "Come on, the time you have led this army is much longer than that of Benhou, and you will replace Benhou as the commander, which one will change the commander in battle?"

Seeing that Han Xin still wanted to persuade again, Lin Ze hurriedly interrupted: "This is a military order, this matter is settled, and it is not allowed to disobey the military order." ”

"What you have to do is to lead this army to win battles all the time, absorb enough troops, and then logically break through the Grandmaster as quickly as possible. ”

"In the next big battle, the specific commander Ben Hou doesn't care, Ben Hou will only treat himself as a supreme grandmaster to help. ”

"Tomorrow, Ben Hou will directly break the fortifications built by Nanzhao, and how to destroy the Nanzhao army next is up to you. ”

Han Xin was silent for a while, and replied, "The last general will obey the order." ”
