Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Three: Conferred
"After all the ministries have been cleared, continue to explore the surrounding tribes. Don't let anyone get away. We are not in the mood to compete with them for the next period of time."
After Zhang Hao had people place the bones, he gathered all the troops together.
Everyone should do this and perform their duties.
Those who do last hits continue to do more, and those who collect trophies collect trophies.
He also sent seven or eight teams of about two to three hundred people to the surrounding tribes to check all the people in those tribes to ensure that no one escaped.
This approach was due to the anxiety of the war in Astia.
The Japanese took advantage of this to take action, and Zhang also took the opportunity to eliminate them.
Afterwards, no one knows what the Japanese will do. However, Zhang's main force will be mobilized for frontline operations, and Blue Star's defense will enter a comparative blank period.
Therefore, this operation to dismantle the Japanese plan was carried out with thunderous momentum.
Each team stayed here for three days, digging almost three feet into the ground. After repeatedly confirming that there were no survivors, they set off back to Chengdu.
Chengdu is no longer as chaotic as before and has regained its own prosperity.
The three brothers also returned to the general's mansion and met with Zhang Zheng.
"Everyone is back?"
Zhang Zheng was sitting on the study couch, holding a volume in his hand. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he asked without raising his head.
"I'm back. During this trip, I wiped out 342 enemies, 12 in the Golden Core Realm, and 330 others who were insignificant.
There is no plan to collect supplies, the number of campaigns is one hundred and seventy-three, and there is no plan to use military resources.
Sixteen horses, thirty-four bows, four hundred and sixty-one pieces were lost, and nine hundred stones of grain and grass were lost.
In addition, during the purge, it was found that 36 people were derelict in their duties, 98 people were derelict in their duties, and 64 people were conspirators with thieves. One thousand nine hundred people were implicated, and they were all investigated, held accountable, and removed from their posts."
"Yes!" Zhang Zheng nodded when he heard this, looked up at the three of them and said, "What do you think after this trip?"
When the three of them heard this, Zhang Hao and Zhang Ye remained silent. They all knew that Zhang Zheng was asking Zhang Lin, so they all waited for Zhang Lin to answer.
Zhang Lin heard this: "The world is bustling with people, all for profit.
The Japanese people are thinking hard about their plans and are driven by profit. They lie with Yun Dian. Those who conspire with them have no plans. They all covet my Zhang family's artifact.
However, once the plan was defeated, it was due to the power of the army and the conspiracy of everyone.
If you are not in a position to be lazy, you should observe one thing at a time and break it down based on details. If you don’t do it for plot, you will do it for momentum and for reality.
The boy believes that strategy is not as strong as force, and strategy is based on force, and force is the power of thunder, which is enough to shake the small child, and power is not the best, all of them are combined."
Zhang Zheng nodded and said: "Those who are not powerful are the ones who are supreme! They obey the heaven and obey the people!"
I, the Zhang family, are intertwined with Bashu and have a separate territory. They are not feared by the royal family and are relied upon by the world. This is all because they obey the heavens and the people and do not serve in the army.
Japan has been in trouble for a long time and will not be destroyed for thousands of years. Today, the superiors want to destroy it. The Zhang family is taking the lead and is following the sky.
Follow the will of heaven and prosper, go against heaven and perish. The ruler is heaven, the will of heaven is unpredictable, and the power of heaven cannot be tested.
You should bear this in mind."
"promise!"
Zhang Zheng shook his head and said: "What a pity! There are people who don't know the right time and always want to deceive the heavens and do things that go against the heavens. They will die if they are not enough and will harm the other party.
Take some time to collect their bodies!"
Zhang Hao said: "When?"
Zhang Zheng said: "Of course it is the time when the power of Heaven has dissipated."
Zhang Hao and the other three responded: "No!"
Zhang Zheng added: "Lin'er will grow up as soon as she reaches the crown.
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed."
With that said, he took out an imperial edict from under the couch and said: "The emperor's grace is so great that you have climbed to the top of Fusang. You are the second person of the Zhang family in a thousand years. However, you have no military merits, so you are specially registered as: first-class uncle. Name: Lucheng."
From today on, you are also officially an official, embarking on an official career and serving His Majesty as a herder."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin knelt on the ground respectfully, took the imperial edict with both hands and said, "I thank my emperor for his grace."
Zhang Zheng nodded, placed the imperial edict in Zhang Lin's hand and said: "Get up! The new Earl's Mansion is already under construction and will be completed in about three days.
Today you have been granted the title of earl, and it is time to form your own force so that you will be able to repay the king's kindness and benefit the people in the future."
Zhang Lin stood up, put away the imperial edict, nodded and said: "Promise!"
Zhang Zheng added: "In one month, the eldest prince will go on a tour of Bashu on behalf of His Majesty. Several princesses and princesses will accompany him. You... be prepared!"
Zhang Lin: "...Yes!"
Zhang Zheng said: "Go down!"
"promise!"
_--——
"The General's Mansion in Western Sichuan is gone like this! It's a pity that such an amazing and talented person as General Cheng Yan is gone."
The three brothers left Zhang Zheng's study, and Zhang Ye couldn't help but sigh.
The biggest conspirator in this purge was Cheng Yan, the master of the Western Sichuan General Mansion.
Under the thunder, it turned into ashes.
All the Cheng family were exterminated.
Thinking back to half a month ago, it was still the general's mansion guarding one side.
Cheng Yan is also a loyal Nascent Soul master who is known as the loyal dog of the royal family.
Zhang Hao said: "If people's hearts are not enough, disaster will surely happen in the long run! How can we cherish the way of heaven and earth?"
The third child, on the other hand, do you have any thoughts about the eldest prince and his party?"
Zhang Linda said: "Do I have any ideas that I can control?"
Zhang Hao said: "If you are from other aristocratic families or sects, you may need to make a choice.
But our Zhang family is different.
If you have a choice, it may be a disaster.
If everyone in the world has a sword, and the one who is equipped with a sword is not a king or a prince. Zhang's sword is an emperor's sword. If it is matched with a king or a prince, disaster is not far away.
The eldest prince and his party are not blessed."
Zhang Lin heard this and said cautiously: "Thank you for your advice, brother. Third brother knows what to do."
Imperial power is always cold.
The eldest prince and his party represent more than just the eldest prince.
And the eldest prince cannot represent heaven.
Zhang's motto of obeying nature and obeying the people is an ancestral precept and a teaching.
Although Zhang Lin was born in General Zhengnan's Mansion, he climbed to the top of the Fusang Sacred Tree. In time, he would definitely influence the Taiyang Sect.
Now he is already the prototype of the Emperor Sword.
The Imperial Sword must be held in the hands of the Emperor and cannot be passed on to others.
Even if that person is the eldest prince, he is very likely to be the next sword holder.
"It's good to know!"
Zhang Hao sighed and said: "We seem to be indescribably valuable and have the power, but we are the ones in this world who have the most control over ourselves.
Many times, we consider not only our own gains and losses, but also the people and things behind us that support us.
In a few days, when you are sealed into the mansion, what you represent will be the lives and fortunes of hundreds of people in the Lucheng uncle's mansion.
In a few decades, the Zhang family will be represented. You should think twice about what you think, say, and do."
Zhang Lin bowed his head and said: "I understand!"
Zhang Hao nodded and said: "Go and rest! You have not practiced martial arts, and you have been very tired these past few days. Take a good rest for a few days before going to school. We need to have more contact with the Lin family."
"Well! Brother, resign!"
Zhang Lin said goodbye to the two of them.
"The third child...hey!" Zhang Ye looked at Zhang Lin's leaving back and said, "Do you think the Lin family can withstand the pressure? Or, are they willing to bear it? I heard that the eldest prince's first stop is Inspecting the river defense."
"Then it depends on how they choose! But the third child's choice is not limited to the Lin family."
Zhang Hao said: "Sometimes, it's not good to be too good. It's not a good thing to show off."
"Let's take it one step at a time!" Zhang Ye sighed and said, "I was happy for him three days ago, but three days later I will be worried about him for decades."
"What's there to worry about?"
