Midsummer, the fifteenth day, everything is suitable.
The morning in Guanzhong gradually became a bit hot under the sunlight, and the entire Lin Mansion was noisy and busy. Today was the day when the young master Hu Hai left Chang'an and was about to take up his post in Shu.
Early in the morning, Lin Ze hurriedly finished his morning classes and called Chen Ping and Qian Yuan to take full charge of the "moving" matter. As for Hu Hai, ahem, he was still sleeping in bed at this time.
Lin Ze had arranged the plan for the things and personnel that should be brought as early as a month ago, but Hu Hai didn't want to take care of it and left all the power to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze called Chen Ping and Qian Yuan again and handed over the matter to them, so everything seemed busier but smoother.
It is said to be a plan, but in fact it is just a matter of arranging the personnel and materials.
The personnel are mainly divided into several parts, including Hu Hai's retainers, the subordinate officials assigned by Zongzheng Mansion for Hu Hai's appointment, and the guards arranged by Emperor Qin.
Lin Ze arranged for Hu Hai's retainers, some of whom were not very desirable or had average abilities, to stay in Chang'an with Huang Banban. Those good players had already been transferred by Lin Ze and arranged to go to Shuzhong.
For example, Liu Yuchan, Duanhunshang, and Chen Ping's elite Jinyiwei players should have already established a preliminary intelligence system in Shu.
Those traveling with Hu Hai today were the "core" and "elders" such as Lin Ze, Chen Ping, Qian Yuan and Yu Ziqi's brothers and sisters.
There is also the newly promoted "upstart" Lu Pheasant. According to Lin Ze's original intention, most of Hu Hai's properties are in Chang'an. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, Lu Pheasant naturally wants to stay in Chang'an.
But Lu Pheasant used the excuse that the industry in Shuzhong was about to start, and more capable people were needed to take charge, so he did his duty. If he wanted to follow Hu Hai's footsteps, he had to go to Shuzhong.
Despite Lin Ze's objections, Lu Pheasant secretly helped Hu Hai's work. Hu Hai took the initiative to intercede with Lin Ze, and Lin Ze had no choice but to agree.
The subordinate officials assigned to the Zongzheng Mansion are all types of loyal talents trained by the Zongzheng Mansion since childhood. When the royal children reach adulthood, they will receive a group of such talents, either to manage the industry or to follow them as officials.
Considering that Hu Hai was short of people, Lin Ze didn't want to carefully distinguish who was the traitor planted by which family, and just accepted it all.
Not to mention the guards arranged by Emperor Qin, not to mention the guards arranged by Emperor Qin this time were not palace guards, but four men in black, two men and two women.
The four names sound more like code names. The two girls are named Starlight and Yue Hui. The two boys are named Black Bat and Yaksha.
As soon as the four arrived, they immediately took over Hu Hai's food and daily life, and no one was allowed to approach Hu Hai's food and water sources.
Even the meat cooked by Lin Ze had to undergo half an hour of inspection before being allowed to be eaten by Hu Hai.
What a pity, the barbecue had been left out for half an hour, and it was cold and hard. Only a devil could eat it, let alone the pampered Hu Hai.
For this reason, Hu Hai complained repeatedly.
However, Lin Ze looked at these four black-clothed men whose momentum was not weaker than that of Elder Tianhe of the Dao Palace, and couldn't help but think of the mysterious Da Siming. How many hidden forces are there under Emperor Qin? I'm afraid except for himself.
, no one knows.
With these four people taking care of Hu Hai, Lin Ze felt at ease. At least he didn't have to worry about Hu Hai being plotted easily. If these four people couldn't protect Hu Hai, then Lin Ze might just accept his fate.
…
It was busy until almost noon when the entire team gathered on the outskirts of Chang'an, waiting to set off at any time.
At this time, Hu Hai rushed to Xianyang Palace to formally bid farewell to Emperor Qin. After receiving a few words of encouragement from Emperor Qin, he retreated to the center of the team.
Finally, at Lin Ze's insistence, Hu Hai ordered the entire team to set off.
The entire team was divided into three sections.
The ones at the front were the ones arranged by Lin Ze to explore the road. They were mainly responsible for clearing roads through mountains and building bridges over rivers to ensure that the entire team could travel smoothly.
In the middle was Lin Ze and a group of guards, protecting Hu Hai, riding a carriage and moving forward slowly. The entire "Chinese Army" consisted of thousands of people, and the momentum was extremely large.
The person behind the palace is none other than the Sirius Army led by Han Xin.
Lin Ze's most fundamental purpose in choosing Shuzhong was to develop the strength of Hu Hai's men in order to help Hu Hai ascend to the throne in the future, and the most direct manifestation of so-called strength is the powerful army.
The warriors are strong as long as they are strong, but the warriors who form a formation are the strongest.
The Sirius Army is staying in Chang'an. Apart from training and hunting, it has no use at all. It is not in line with Lin Ze's expectations for this elite army. It will be different if it is transferred to Shuzhong.
As far as Lin Ze knew, the jungles in the south of central Sichuan were active with many barbarians who did not accept the king's rule, and they were used to train troops for the Sirius Army.
Moreover, once they enter the middle of Shu, the Heavenly Wolf Army no longer has to be limited to 5,000 troops. According to Qin law, the total number of local army guards in each county under the name of a province will not be less than 50,000.
.
Fifty thousand elites can overturn the entire battle situation at a critical moment.
…
At Hu Hai's request, Lin Ze rode in the same carriage as him. As the carriage gradually moved away, after leaving Chang'an, Lin Ze felt that during this period, the depression in his heart was gone, and his whole person felt...
Feeling relaxed.
Ever since Lin Ze came back from the Dao Palace, there has always been a sense of crisis in his heart. There are two types of things. One is the way Emperor Qin looked at him. Every time he thinks about it, he gets a creepy feeling.
One is that the diagram of the Dao Palace Protector Formation presented by Lin Ze is actually inconsistent with the one he modified. Once Emperor Qin finds out about this, Lin Ze will undoubtedly die.
But Lin Ze never knew that it was impossible for Emperor Qin to find out that there was something wrong with the array diagram, because the person who judged the authenticity of the array diagram was the brother of the girl who liked to eat his barbecue the most.
If Shao Siming hadn't been talking about Lin Ze's barbecue in front of Da Siming, and promised to go find Lin Ze to barbecue when he had time, I'm afraid Da Siming would have exposed the incomplete formation map.
Da Siming was absolutely loyal to Emperor Qin, if he did not consider his sister who depended on him for life.
…
From Chang'an to Shuzhong, the fastest way is definitely through Jiange, and the most famous one above Jiange is Jiange.
The former is a place name, and the latter is a sect name.
The Jiange Sect existed in the Jiange before the Qin State destroyed Bashu. In the past, Sima Cuo received the help of the Jiange Sect and successfully entered Shu. He destroyed Bashu one after another and added a grain-producing land to the Qin Dynasty.
, which greatly enhanced the strength of Qin.
From then on, the disciples of Jiange maintained close contact with the Great Qin officials, and most of the disciples who were successful in mathematics entered the ranks of the Great Qin army.
The government of the Great Qin Dynasty also gave great support to this sect that was close to them, turning the entire Jiange Mountain and thousands of miles around into the private territory of the Jiange sect.
Today, Jiange Mountain welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
