Because this feeling of enhanced soul continued, Lin Ze was not in a hurry to verify his thoughts, but sat at the door of the Chu Palace, eating hot pot.
In the Chu Palace, there were tens of thousands of maids and guards, and they were blocked for three days.
On the afternoon of the third day, the feeling of enhanced soul completely disappeared, and Lin Ze suddenly felt very bored.
After eating hot pot for three days in a row, he finally got tired of it.
Lin Ze started to stand up, thinking, what else did he want to do?
Xiang Juan and others, who had been waiting in the distance, saw that Lin Ze finally stopped eating, and hurriedly gathered around him.
Xiang Juan looked respectful, bowed and said, "Have you finished your meal, the champion? Do you have any other instructions?"
Lin Ze swayed back and forth a few times, relaxed his body, and asked calmly: "Tell me, what do you want with this attitude?"
Xiang Tang lowered his head slightly and said: "May I ask the champion, if Chu surrenders, will Qin be willing to accept my ascendance?"
For three whole days, Lin Ze didn't mention the issue of surrendering. Naturally, everyone understood that Lin Ze might not have this idea, or that the other party just came here to kill Xiang Ji.
Of course, there is another possibility that Lin Ze is deliberately hanging them in order to take the initiative.
But every family in Chu State could not afford to spend money, nor could they afford to gamble.
They got together and after discussing it privately, they planned to take the initiative to speak.
Whether they intend to surrender, actively or passively, there is no difference to them.
Previously, they didn't dare to disturb Lin Ze while he was eating. Now that Lin Ze stopped, they naturally had to seize this opportunity and strike up a conversation with him.
Lin Ze's face looked a little strange and he hesitated: "Are you planning to surrender?"
Xiang Juan said calmly: "Yes, the champion's martial arts skills are world-class and invincible in the world. We don't want to be a chariot with our arms, we just want to survive in this world."
Lin Ze finally figured out why the people in Chu State were so enthusiastic these days. It turned out to be this idea.
But Xiang Ji is not dead yet. Is it too soon to surrender now?
Lin Ze's silence made Xiang Juan's heart sink a little bit.
After a while, Lin Ze slowly spoke: "Since Xiang Ji is still alive, is it too early for you to surrender?"
Xiang Quan shook his head and said, "Will the champion wait until Xiang Ji dies before attacking Chu?"
Lin Ze instantly understood what Xiang Juan meant. He had been stuck here for three days and Xiang Yu didn't show up, which meant that Xiang Yu couldn't stop him.
Inferring from this, it won't be long before the Qin army goes south to attack Chu. In order to protect their own interests, surrender seems to be the best choice for these powerful people in Chu.
Of course, there is another possibility. If these people want to preserve their strength, they will change the king's flag at the critical moment like before.
After careful consideration, it seems that Lin Ze's best choice is to eliminate the root cause.
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "After a while, I will arrange for someone to lead an army to attack Chu. You can discuss the details with him in detail."
Lin Ze did not refuse directly. Even if these people were to be exterminated, he should not do it himself.
The total number of dignitaries in Chu State totaled tens of thousands at least. These people were scattered and not concentrated. It would be troublesome to kill them one by one.
Lin Ze still has hundreds of thousands of Qin troops under his command, so he has to give them something to do, right?
Lin Ze's vague answer was heard by Xiang Juan, but he thought he had agreed, and said with a face of joy: "I would like to thank the champion."
Lin Ze waved his hand and gave a perfunctory smile, "When you know the truth, you probably won't think about thanking me."
By the way, I’ve been in this world for so long and haven’t been around yet. Why not go to various places to see the scenery?
This idea suddenly appeared in Lin Ze's mind, and he couldn't control it immediately, instinctively urging him to act as soon as possible.
It is better to go overseas first and calculate the time. Wu Fan should be preparing to go overseas by now.
I happen to be going to contact and do business with overseas Daomen branches, so it would be good to follow and see for yourself.
Just as Lin Ze made up his mind, the soul in his mind suddenly strengthened slightly.
With a thought in Lin Ze's mind, he suddenly gave up his plans and jumped up, flying towards Hangu Pass.
Sure enough, Lin Ze felt the spirit in his mind and stopped strengthening.
Lin Ze's eyes lit up, he turned around and flew overseas again.
This time, the soul has not been strengthened.
Lin Ze immediately concluded two points: First, when he wants to do something and is determined to do it, his soul will gradually strengthen.
This enhancement will stop because he does not persist or changes his mind.
Second, after something is interrupted and stopped, the soul cannot continue to strengthen in a short period of time after it is resumed.
Lin Ze has not yet been able to test whether it will be enhanced in the future.
Because of going to sea, Lin Ze did not plan to do it now.
Once he goes to sea, it can take as little as two months and as long as more than half a year. Lin Ze cannot leave for such a long time.
In the previous battle, Lin Ze indeed showed great authority. In order to save his life, Xiang Ji and Liu Ji had to abscond without a trace.
But it doesn't mean that the world has been decided, and the two of them may make a comeback at any time.
Han Xin alone may not be able to suppress it.
This is why Lin Ze sent Wu Fan overseas to contact and trade with overseas Taoist branches.
Another point is that Lin Ze feels that he must find out the reasons for the emergence of Buddhist and Confucian masters.
In order to achieve his goal, Lin Ze was even able to bear the notoriety of whipping corpses, which was criticized by the world.
One day later, Lin Ze met Zhang Han who led the Qin army to attack South Korea.
Zhang Han, who had hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, was very high-spirited and could mobilize troops and generals at his fingertips.
Facing the menacing Zhang Han, the Korean monarchs and ministers exhausted the entire country and barely managed to gather 150,000 people, placing them in a strong city to passively guard against the Qin army.
At the same time, South Korea sent waves of couriers to various countries to ask for help, and at least a dozen waves were sent one after another.
After the Battle of the North, Zhang Han's military skills have been greatly improved.
On the first day, Qin attacked ten cities in South Korea and occupied one-third of South Korea's territory.
The next day, Zhang Han led his army to wipe out the main force of South Korea. King Cheng of Han abandoned the royal capital and fled without trace.
On the third day, Korea was destroyed. Zhang Han restored counties and counties according to the Qin system, appointed temporary officials, and then reported to Chang'an and asked Hu Hai to send someone to take over.
…
After Lin Ze returned to Hangu Pass, the first thing he did was to ask his Jin Yiwei how the matter of contacting Confucianism and Buddhism went.
Soon, a member of the Imperial Guards from Qianhu hurried over, bowed to Lin Ze and said, "I would like to inform you, Lord Marquis, that there is news from the Buddhist sect, indicating that they are willing to pay a price to redeem the body of their venerable master."
"Five days later, the monk responsible for this matter came to Guguan to discuss specific matters with the Marquis."
"There is no news from the Confucian side. The subordinates and others are still trying to contact the other party's senior officials."
Lin Ze nodded slightly when he heard this and waved his hand to let people leave.
