In the summer of Emperor Qin's 491st year, more than a year ago, Yu Xuanji led an army of 100,000 to conquer the south, and penetrated hundreds of miles into the mountains and forests. At the cost of 30,000 casualties, he defeated the main force of Nanzhao's army and killed more than 50,000 enemies. Then the war began.
Transform into another state.
Like Baiyue, Nanzhao also engaged in guerrilla warfare with Da Qin, and played hide and seek in the jungle with Da Qin's southern army.
The Sirius Army has also participated in many battles and replenished its blood twice on a large scale with new recruits sent from the Taiwei Mansion. Today, there are still more than 4,000 people, but many familiar faces have gradually disappeared.
The earthen jars containing the ashes were also transported back twice, and there were new graves outside Chang'an City.
In southern Xinjiang, Lin Ze dragged a fourth-level monster into the camp despite heavy rain.
The soldiers guarding the camp looked envious: "The military advisor is really powerful. He can hunt enough monsters every time. Looking at the size and evil aura, it is probably another fourth-grade monster."
Another soldier said: "With the military master's martial arts cultivation, fourth-grade monsters are not easily captured yet, but when will we be as powerful as the military master?"
The squad leader who was guarding the gate reprimanded: "What are you thinking about? You don't take a piss to look after yourself, but you still want to compare with the military advisor? If you can break through to the fourth rank in this life, it will only be because of the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. Let's talk about the fourth rank and the fourth rank.
It's different. Isn't Commander Han also a fourth-grade man? If we really fight, the military advisor will be able to kill him easily."
The other soldiers immediately echoed: "What the leader said is, what kind of person is the military advisor..."
While he was talking vigorously, suddenly several patrol officers from the law enforcement team slowly walked over, and each one of them remained silent and stopped talking.
Lin Ze walked by. He heard the soldier's words clearly and couldn't help but smile.
Lin Ze went back and cooked the toothed tiger beast in a big pot. In the end, even the bone marrow was sucked out. Lin Ze looked melancholy: When will these days of not having enough to eat end?
Since Lin Ze broke through to the fourth level two years ago, from a certain perspective, he has never had enough.
The cultivation of the Dantian realm of the fourth level of martial arts is relatively the simplest in martial arts cultivation. After opening the Dantian, it is enough to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and combine it with the original power of Qi and blood in the body to finally form true energy and store it in the Dantian.
After the Dantian is full of true energy, you can further expand the Dantian. If you do this three times, you can try to open up the meridians in the body and enter the fifth level in one fell swoop.
For more than two years, the true energy in Lin Ze's Dantian has only reached about one-third. It's not that Lin Ze doesn't practice hard, or it's not that the God of War Illustration technique is not good, it's just that Lin Ze's Dantian is too big.
.
Thinking back to the time of his breakthrough, Lin Ze was full of energy: "I think I am the sea."
Now I have to go out hunting by myself and rely on Xiao Jin's assistance to achieve today's achievements.
It’s no wonder that with Father Lin’s talent, it took him six years to break through from the fourth level to the fifth level.
Lin Ze couldn't help but look in the direction of Chang'an and murmured to himself: "When can I return to Chang'an? I really want to empty out Xu Fu's treasure house and use it to improve his martial arts cultivation."
However, with the training of the God of War Illustration, Lin Ze was able to continuously temper his true energy and his body, and his combat power was improving day by day.
Just as the soldiers guarding the camp said, even if it was Han Xin who was also at the beginning of the fourth grade, Lin Ze could really easily kill him. It was so easy that with all his strength, almost three moves could determine life or death.
Just as Lin Ze finished digesting the monster meat, a soldier came over and sent a message: "To the military advisor, the young master invites you to come over and say that we have something to discuss."
In the general's tent, Hu Hai looked at Lin Ze, who was becoming more and more powerful, and couldn't help but muttered: "Lin Ze, you are getting stronger and stronger. Do you really not have the secret method to accelerate the breakthrough to the fourth level?"
Chen Ping, who was still at the third level, immediately pricked up his ears and looked at Lin Ze with hope. Back then, Lin Ze and he were both at the third level. Now, less than three years later, he is still at the third level of martial arts, and his uncle has broken through the second level.
years.
Lin Ze smiled bitterly: "How can there be any secret method? I was hunted very hard back then, and I got a piece of ambergris by chance, and then I broke through inexplicably. Besides, the young master is one of the most noble people in the world. Even the young master
They don’t have this kind of secret method, and I don’t even have it.”
"Alas" Hu Hai sighed: "Do you think I should try to break through in a desperate situation? It feels like I am only a hair away from the fourth level."
Hu Hai had said this sentence countless times in the past two years, and even wanted to put it into action, but the four powerful sixth-level men were almost never leaving him, and would not let him take risks at all.
Therefore, Lin Ze did not answer the call, but asked: "I wonder why the young master came to see me?"
When talking about business, Hu Hai immediately put the matter behind him and took out a letter and said: "Yu Xuanji wrote a letter saying that he wants to launch a large-scale military attack on Nanzhao recently and hopes that we can cooperate with him. Lin Ze, what do you think?
?”
Lin Ze's face suddenly became serious. This Yu Xuanji is really a difficult person. He may seem harmless at ordinary times, but a bite at a critical moment can kill you. The Sirius Army suffered a dumb loss a year ago.
At that time, the Heavenly Wolf Army was at its strongest. Yu Xuanji was just like today. He sent a letter saying that they would join forces to attack the two villages in Nanzhao. As a result, the Heavenly Wolf Army encountered an army (10,000 people) of the Nanzhao Army.
Nanzhao's 30,000-strong army ambushed him.
If Lin Ze hadn't bravely taken the lead in that battle, and Han Xin's commanding and dispatching was like a god's help, the Sirius Army would have become history. Especially since the Sirius Army had lost nearly half of its strength after breaking through, and it could be said that its vitality was severely damaged.
Lin Ze immediately guessed that Yu Xuanji was responsible, but there was no evidence. Besides, it was not just the Sirius Army that was attacked. Even if he guessed, there was nothing he could do about it. Now that Yu Xuanji had written again, Lin Ze couldn't help but be wary.
stand up.
Lin Ze asked directly: "Does the scout camp have any recent news about Nanzhao? Is there any big move in Nanzhao?"
Chen Ping pondered for a moment and replied: "There seems to be something wrong. According to reports from the scouts, there have been fewer Nanzhao natives active outside during this period. It is probably that some big move is really brewing."
Hu Hai's expression changed and he cursed: "This son of a bitch Yu Xuanji wants to trick me again. Lin Ze, we can't be fooled this time. We won't do it."
Lin Ze pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid this old fox Yu Xuanji has other plans. If he just doesn't go, I'm afraid he is also part of his plan. There must be news that we don't know, but we can't act hastily."
Hu Hai frowned: "Lin Ze, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Ze walked up to the map, drew a few random strokes with a pen, and then said, "Chen Ping, is there any news about these camps of the Southern Conquest Army?"
Chen Ping took out a piece of information from his arms, read it and said to Lin Ze: "The scouts are here to report that everything is as usual around here."
"Oh" Lin Ze sneered: "Sure enough, something is wrong. Go and send an order to the entire army to prepare to break camp immediately. The Sirius army needs to change places."
Hu Hai said in confusion: "Lin Ze, where are we going?"
Lin Ze pointed to the other side of the Nankang River, which belonged to the Zhengnan Camp's sphere of influence, and said, "Let's go to the other side and watch the fire from the other side."
Hu Hai looked confused: "I still don't understand your intention of doing this."
Lin Ze explained: "Yu Xuanji, the old fox, invited us to attack Nanzhao last year. As a result, the Sirius army suffered heavy losses. If he invites us again this year, he must have bad intentions. However, he must have calculated that we might refuse to send troops.
Hold the camp."
"Then let's make a bold guess. The Nanzhao people have disappeared. Maybe they are planning to gather forces to attack our camp. If we stand still, it may be exactly what we want. However, we are not strong enough and the information is not well-informed, so for the sake of conservatism, we just give up.
The camp is ready."
Hu Hai suddenly understood, nodded repeatedly, and then immediately led a group of confused Sirius Army soldiers to break camp and stationed on the north bank of the Nankang River.
Three days later, news came that King Nanzhao had assembled an army of 30,000 troops to attack the southern defense line of the Zhengnan Camp. Ten villages were taken out in a row, and the Qin army lost thousands of people.
However, Yu Xuanji, the captain of the guard of the Zhengnan camp, took the opportunity to lead the Nanzhao army into the encirclement and took the opportunity to defeat the Nanzhao people. Only the Nanzhao king led thousands of people to break out.
Lin Ze couldn't help but sneer: "There is indeed a problem."
When Yu Xuanji learned that the Sirius Army was training on the other side of the Nankang River, he couldn't help but frown, and then smiled and said, "It's a bit interesting."
