Chapter six hundred and twelve murderous into Chang'an
On the straight road, nearly 150,000 Qin troops stretched their ranks and jogged forward. According to the champion, this is called training.
On both sides of the team, there are a group of men in fancy clothes scattered around. From time to time, these men shout loudly: "Brothers, cheer up, the winners eat meat, the finishers drink soup, and the losers only have chaff."
"For the sake of a bite to eat, you must not be discouraged."
"If you are a man, you have to eat meat. The rest are women."
The ups and downs of shouting sounded particularly loud amidst the noisy footsteps.
This group of well-dressed men, whom Lin Ze calls "instructors", are responsible for supervising the training of ordinary soldiers in their spare time.
Each instructor is responsible for the daily training of one hundred soldiers, including physical fitness, training, competition, etc.
Instructors do not have a military position and will only appear in this capacity when they are free. During wartime, they will still go to the battlefield in their original capacity.
The selection of instructors is open to the entire army. As long as you perform well in training, whether you are an ordinary soldier or a lieutenant general, you will have a chance to be selected.
There are three benefits to becoming an instructor. First, you are not like ordinary soldiers who need to perform well in training in order to have a lot of meat. The instructor's quota is equivalent to the winner.
Second, if the instructor performs well, there will be additional rewards. These rewards may be high-level skills or rare medicinal materials.
Third, with equal military merit, priority will be given to promotion.
The status of instructors is not tenure-track. The fittest will be eliminated based on the performance of the team led by each instructor.
In a one-month period, if the assessment completion rate is less than 60% more than twice, or if the assessment is in the bottom three for two consecutive times, the instructors will be eliminated directly and the instructors will be re-selected.
This unique training method significantly reduced the pressure on Lin Ze and Han Xin in training.
Even Han Xin, who had a military background, was full of praise for this.
This is the main reason why Lin Ze trained a group of young men into a strong army in more than a year.
Looking at the energetic and high-spirited Qin army, Lin Ze, who was at the rear of the army, had a smile on his face.
These people, in a sense, are also part of his confidence.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Wu Fan rode up to Lin Ze. Holding a stack of yellow paper in both hands, he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, here are all the information sent from Chang'an."
"Yeah." Lin Ze hummed slightly, took the yellow paper, opened it and started reading.
It clearly records that Zhao Gao suddenly summoned his ministers and what happened at the court meeting.
After casually shattering the information, Lin Ze began to think about the whole story.
On the surface, it seems that Zhao Gao is taking the lead in dealing with him, but why does Zhao Gao want to deal with him?
Is it just suppression?
No, whether it's because of his master-level cultivation or the power and authority he controls, the so-called suppression is simply a joke.
Moreover, there is no point in dealing with oneself until the dangers in Qin are resolved.
We are both grandmasters. On the surface, no one can do anything to the other. Zhao Gao has no reason to risk his life to offend his new grandmaster.
Unless Zhao Gao wants to rebel or take sole control of the Qin Dynasty.
"If this is really the case, then he wants to kill me?" Lin Ze thought with a cold light in his eyes.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze didn't want to think about it anymore, because to him, the truth was no longer important.
Lin Ze only needed to confirm that Zhao Gao was indeed malicious towards him and might endanger himself.
So when he returned to Chang'an this time, the only thing Lin Ze had to do was to nip the danger in the bud.
Earlier when Li Si conspired to rebel, Lin Ze once had the slightest idea and killed Zhao Gao together, completely clearing some obstacles.
After all, the Zhao Gao described in Lin Ze's later history books would not be an exaggeration if he died a hundred times.
The reason why Lin Ze did not take action at that time was based on two considerations. First, Zhao Gao did not make any substantial extraordinary move. He even saved Hu Hai's life when Li Si rebelled.
Although he and Li Si had teamed up to suppress him before, in general, the crime would not lead to death.
The other reason is that Zhao Gao, as a master-level warrior, is of great value. Even if he is just sitting in Chang'an, it can be used as a deterrent.
Some unscrupulous people dare not enter Chang'an easily.
Especially since Lin Ze is fighting in all directions, he needs a stable rear support that can provide him with sufficient resources.
But all this has lost its meaning since Zhao Gao plotted against himself.
Lin Ze could not allow someone who was at odds with or even hostile to him to stab him in the back.
Lin Ze, who is at the Grand Master level, may not be afraid, but none of these ordinary soldiers are the sons of father and mother. They fight for glory and wealth, not to die.
Therefore, Zhao Gao must die, and all the forces he left behind must be purged, and it is best to replace them all with his own people.
"The whole army hastened back to Chang'an. The one who performed best was promoted to one rank," Lin Ze's clear voice resounded in the ears of the soldiers in the army.
All the Qin soldiers' eyes suddenly turned red, and they rushed towards Chang'an with all their strength.
…
Fifteen days later, the outline of Chang'an City appeared in Lin Ze's field of vision.
After marching for a while, the Imperial Guards guarding Chang'an City discovered the army led by Lin Ze.
The commander of the Imperial Guard standing on the city wall was suddenly shocked: "That man is back."
He immediately called his own soldiers and said, "Go and report to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, saying that the champion has led an army back to the court with unknown intentions."
After the soldiers left, the commander of the Imperial Guard ordered his subordinates with a serious face: "If an unknown army appears, close the city gate immediately without any mistake."
The two commanders immediately led the soldiers forward and dispersed the people who were queuing up to enter the city at the city gate. They pulled up the ropes, closed the gate of Chang'an City, and put the bolt on the door.
When the door bolt fell, Lin Ze led the army to the city.
From afar, he saw Lin Ze closing the city gate with the imperial guards. He stood in front of the city gate, narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Who is guarding the city gate today? Is it because the city gate was closed for no reason and caused turmoil in Chang'an City?
Alive?"
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard appeared on the city wall. Looking at the slightly immature face under the city wall, he felt infinite jealousy in his heart.
He said with an arrogant look: "Who is here? Why did he lead a large army to besiege the city? Could it be that he wants to rebel?"
"Hey," Lin Ze sighed slightly, but this voice was clearly heard by everyone present.
"If your eyes are of no use, just be useless."
As soon as Lin Ze finished speaking, a man wrapped in a robe behind him moved his lips a few times.
"Ah, my eyes." I saw the commander of the Imperial Guard standing on the city wall suddenly covering his eyes and screaming.
The people next to him saw the traces of blood seeping out between his fingers, and combined with what Lin Ze said, a chill flowed down his spine and reached his forehead.
This method shows that the champion is more terrifying than the legend.
The other party's behavior is even more frightening.
"Within a quarter of an hour, open the city gate and let me in. Otherwise, all the generals guarding the city gate today will find a place to settle down in Lingnan."
Lingnan is a famous place of exile in the Qin State. Settling down in Lingnan naturally refers to the exile of the entire family.
Hearing this, the commander of the imperial guard endured the pain and said loudly: "You are not allowed to open the city gate. The champion intends to rebel. Anyone who dares to open the city gate is an accomplice and will implicate the nine tribes. Please do not act rashly."
."
With his eyes broken, he hated Lin Ze to the extreme at this moment. Even if he doubted you, how could you be so cruel to me, the commander of the Imperial Guard?
"In Chang'an City, there is Your Majesty and the Prime Minister. You must not admit defeat. For Your Majesty and for the sake of Qin, it doesn't matter even if you die?"
A trace of anger appeared on Lin Ze's face, and the Tianwen Sword in his hand turned into a swimming dragon and passed by the neck of the commander of the Imperial Guard.
A huge human head rolled down from the city wall.
Since you want to sacrifice your life to become a benevolent person, I will help you.
Seeing the commander of the Imperial Guard die in front of him, everyone on the city wall turned pale and took a step back.
"Open the door or die," Lin Ze's cold voice echoed in the air.
