Chapter five hundred and sixty-six people unpredictable
Deep in Mangdang Mountain, in the nameless valley, Liu Ji, whose clothes were slightly dirty, put his head into the stream, washed it carefully, shaved off his beard, and tied his hair into a bun. He suddenly became energetic again.
Several personal guards cleaned up a monster beast they had just killed, spread it with salt, and set up a bonfire.
Liu Ji sat contentedly on a piece of bluestone, playing with it from time to time.
At this time, Cao Shen looked happy and hurried over, shouting loudly: "My lord, the spies have sent news that the Qin army failed to pursue my lord in the two counties and finally retreated. Soon you will be able to come out again and reorganize the hegemony."
."
While Liu Ji was fiddling with the barbecue in front of him, he called to Cao Shen who was coming after a long journey: "Sir, you have been working hard all the way. Please sit down and drink some water first. The barbecue will be ready soon."
A playful smile appeared on Cao Shen's face: "My lord, it seems he doesn't care about this matter?"
Liu Ji shook his head and said: "No, I just know Lin Ze better. It is definitely not a safe period right now. I am sure that as long as I go out now, I will definitely fall into his hands."
"The Confucian treasure that Mr. Meng is holding has unfortunately fallen into the hands of Lin Ze. He went back to ask for help, but there is no news yet, but no one can stop this champion."
"If you want to seek hegemony, you must first live well, right?"
Cao Shen put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "My lord is indeed an extraordinary person. He hits the vital point directly, and my subordinates admire him. However, the Qin army massacred two counties and was hated by the people of the two counties. This is the best opportunity to win over the people. If my lord misses it, what will happen?"
Isn’t it a pity?”
Liu Ji shook his head slightly and said: "If hatred could be eliminated so easily, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms would have been lost to everyone and become Qin people. This matter is not urgent. The most important thing now is how to fight against the powerful masters.
Relying solely on Confucianism is too passive."
Cao Shen thought for a moment and said: "Only a Grandmaster can deal with a Grandmaster. As far as my lord is concerned, it is best for me to advance to the level of Grandmaster. After all, my lord is already at the peak of the sixth rank, so why not find ways to go further?"
Liu Ji's originally indifferent expression suddenly darkened.
Cao Shen's heart tightened and he quickly asked: "Why is my lord like this?"
Liu Ji's face was slightly gloomy and he said: "I reached the peak of the sixth level by military advisors relying on secret techniques. The foundation is unstable and advancement is as difficult as climbing to the sky, so there is no need to mention it again."
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly froze.
After a while, Cao Shen laughed dryly and said: "My lord's worries may not necessarily have no solution. As far as I know, there are countless Confucian sages and miraculous arts. When Mr. Meng returns, I will ask you a question on my lord's behalf."
how?"
Liu Ji's eyes were bright: "Really?"
Cao Shen just nodded and smiled without saying a word.
…
Chen Jun, Chen Ping stood behind Lin Ze, bowed slightly and said: "Uncle, two days have passed. It's time for you to get up and return to Chang'an, otherwise His Majesty's decree will come again."
"How are the arrangements for the relocation of the people?" Lin Ze turned around and asked, seemingly not hearing what Chen Ping just said.
Seeing Lin Ze's attitude, a look of helplessness appeared on Chen Ping's face, and he replied: "The people of Chen County were devastated by wars, and there were very few left. My nephew initiated the migration in the name of the government, and it went smoothly. However, in other places,
We encountered some difficulties and it’s hard to leave our homeland.”
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously and said: "It just so happens that Han Xin is returning with a large army. Ask him to help you and be sure to move the people away. Otherwise, once we leave, the land of Guandong will turn into the most terrifying battlefield. Announcements will be widely spread. I believe
The people will understand the government’s painstaking efforts.”
Chen Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly. As a result, the government's reputation for cruelty may not be cleansed. Uncle Master is still so simple and rough in doing things, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
"Uncle Master, if you delay for too long, I'm afraid Your Majesty will think too much," Chen Ping couldn't help but say.
Lin Ze's eyes flickered and he said coldly: "Don't worry, I will explain it to him later and he will understand."
Chen Ping was about to persuade again, but when he caught Lin Ze's deep gaze, he finally sighed, cupped his hands, and turned to leave.
Uncle Master has always had his own opinions, and it may be difficult to persuade him.
"You guys go back to Chang'an first. I will catch up when you enter Guanzhong. You don't have to worry too much," Lin Ze said suddenly.
"Besides, he doesn't really want me to go back. He just wants to see if I have any different intentions. But no matter whether I have any different intentions or not, once suspicion starts, it will never end, and people's hearts are unpredictable."
Chen Ping's departure suddenly stopped, he looked back at Lin Ze with a complicated expression, and left with heavy steps.
…
In Surabaya County, Han Xin took a look at the city and the people who did not conceal their hatred, sighed slightly, and left with his army.
In the past two days, at least tens of thousands of people have died. Anyone who has anything to do with Liu Ji will not be spared after being caught.
Han Xin was not very worried about the hatred of the people, because Lin Ze told him that every time he killed someone, he would make a public announcement and he died because of Liu Ji's implication.
Presumably the relatives and friends of these people hated Liu Ji more than they hated the Qin army. After all, the Qin army did not massacre for no reason.
Han Xin's only worry is that if Lin Zeruo becomes bloodthirsty, how should he deal with it? Should he help him do evil, or should he try to persuade him?
With a trace of confusion, Han Xin led his army back west.
…
In Shouchun City, Li Xin, who had just broken through the city and slaughtered thousands of Chu troops, planned to take a day's rest before leading his army south.
At this time, a horseman rushed over and brought military orders personally issued by Lin Ze.
Li Xin received the military order, opened it, and saw clearly written on it: "Immediately lead the army to Shu, prepare to wipe out the Nanzhao indigenous army, repel the Nanzhao army within one year, and destroy Nanzhao within three years."
, I grant you the title of Marquis."
Li Xin was stunned for a moment. He attacked Chu well, but why did he become Nanzhao again?
When I saw the four words "I promise you to be a marquis", my whole body immediately boiled with anger, and all doubts were thrown out of the sky.
Then Li Xin summoned the army and ordered: "Gather all the ships and boatmen with all your strength, and the army will go upstream and enter Shu without any mistakes."
…
Three days later, Lin Ze met Tang San in Chen County after a long journey.
After not seeing him for nearly a year, Tang San's whole temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes, and his originally gloomy face looked very bright.
Ever since Lin Ze sent people to help the Tang Sect settle down in Lingnan, and helped the Tang Sect clean up the non-official forces in Lingnan, making the Tang Sect the dominant family, Tang San's life was extremely comfortable and happy.
He accomplished the task of revitalizing the family better than he imagined.
"I wonder why you have summoned me here this time?" Tang San bowed to Lin Ze respectfully, not only in awe of Lin Ze's identity, but also in awe of Lin Ze's cultivation.
The grandmaster in his early twenties, besides the legendary sages, Tang San had lived for decades, and this was the first time he heard about it.
Lin Ze said calmly: "I came here to find you, naturally, to kill someone."
Tang San's face was stern, he bowed slightly and said, "Please give me your instructions, sir."
Lin Ze took out a portrait from his arms, threw it to Tang San, and said calmly: "Liu Ji of Peixian County, a peak sixth-grade man, is now one of the leaders of the rebels. There are also sixth-grade warriors around him. Kill him.
If you sit there for a day, the Tang family will be rich and prosperous."
Tang San tightened his fingers slightly, with a look of hesitation on his face.
Seeing Tang San's hesitation, Lin Ze added lightly: "Don't hesitate, don't think about dealing with it, otherwise you will definitely end up not willing to bear it."
Tang San's heart shivered, and he cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely go all out."
Lin Ze waved his hand to signal him to step back, glanced in the direction of Sishui County again, turned around and left.
