Chapter seven hundred and seventy-eight northwest look
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace in becoming a Taoist."
In the Hall of Yangxin, Li Xin and the others knelt on the bluestone slab, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Emperor Qin looked at the three of them calmly and said indifferently: "I will not hesitate to expend my original energy to raise the martial arts of you three to the peak of the Soul Realm. I don't want to hear you three pretend to be loyal and express my gratitude."
Li Xin, who reacted the fastest, immediately said with a serious face: "I am willing to lead the army to suppress the rebellion for Your Majesty, and I will go through fire and water, no matter what."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely use the thieves' heads to repay Your Majesty's kindness," Sima Jie said. Although Bailice was a little slow, he was not to be outdone in his words.
But Emperor Qin's mood seemed a little low today, and he said without any emotion in his tone: "Forget the flattery, I want to know how the three of you plan to quell the rebellion?"
It was Li Xin who was still the first to speak up: "Your Majesty, when Chen She caused chaos and the whole country rebelled, I had the honor to lead an army to conquer the north and south."
"We have been fighting for several years and finally succeeded in putting down the rebellion. I have accumulated some experience on how to deal with the rebels. If your Majesty does not give up, I am willing to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qin showed a hint of interest on his face and said, "Oh, tell me, Zhao Tuo, Liu Ji, and Lin Ze, how should we defeat the three major rebels?"
Li Xin got up from the ground, adjusted his robes, and said loudly: "Reporting to your majesty, the rebel Zhao Tuo's army is half Qin soldiers from the southern expedition camp and half barbarians. Both of them are good at mountain and forest warfare, and
There are many mountains and forests in the south, and the opponent has great geographical advantages, so we should use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and it is not appropriate to fight with them in the mountains and forests."
"If you want to deal with Zhao Tuo, send out scouts widely to prevent being ambushed. After determining the location of the opponent's army, use more kerosene and set fire to the mountains to force the opponent to give up the geographical advantage and engage in a decisive battle with our army."
"Once a decisive battle occurs, the enemy's geographical advantage is no longer there, but our army's armor is better than the enemy's, our momentum is stronger than the enemy's, and our soldiers are braver than the enemy's. How can we be invincible?"
A look of excitement appeared on Emperor Qin's face and he asked: "What should we do if we want to deal with the traitor Liu Ji?"
Li Xin regained his momentum and said domineeringly: "The people of Guandong are all rats. A thief like Liu Ji never dares to fight directly against our righteous master of the Qin State. He will only flee in a hurry."
"If you want to deal with him, you don't need too many plots and tricks. Just attack with a large army. It won't take half a month. He will collapse without a fight. Just lead the army to harvest the heads."
Emperor Qin looked confused, chuckled, and continued to ask: "How should we deal with the traitor Lin Ze?"
Li Xin's face turned bitter when he heard this, and he prostrated himself and said: "I dare not deceive your majesty. Lin Ze is a traitor and his military strategy is far superior to that of me. Moreover, the armies that Lin Ze brought to the Western Regions are all elites who have fought in many battles. I am afraid that I will not be his match."
When Emperor Qin heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He looked at Li Xin with a gloomy face, and traces of murderous intent emerged in the hall.
Sima Jie and Bailice, who were initially jealous when they saw Li Xin performing in front of Emperor Qin, immediately seized the opportunity, pointed at Li Xin and shouted: "How dare you have the ambition to be a traitor and destroy your own prestige. You have bad intentions."
, his heart should be punished."
Li Xin raised his head after hearing this, looked at Emperor Qin with a sincere face and said: "If a minister is loyal, he should tell the truth to the emperor, rather than maliciously concealing it or deceiving the emperor."
"I can indeed make some nonsense today to make Your Majesty mistakenly believe that the traitor Lin Ze can be defeated easily. But if the army fails in the conquest in the future, even if Your Majesty cuts my body into thousands of pieces, will it be possible to save it?"
"If these self-deceiving ministers are the loyal ministers Your Majesty wants, then I am willing to take back what I just said and say it again."
After Li Xin finished speaking, he lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, as if he was at the mercy of Emperor Qin.
Emperor Qin was silent for a while and said with an indifferent expression: "No, you are very good. What I want is a loyal minister like you."
"But I'm a little confused. Is Lin Ze really comparable to a saint, without any weaknesses?"
"Wealth, beauty, fame, and even the bonds of family, isn't there anything he wants?"
Li Xin thought for a while and replied: "Yes, Lin Ze is a man who has been dedicated to martial arts all his life. In addition to the secret methods and natural treasures that can increase martial arts cultivation, wealth, beauty, and even relatives, friends, and parents, in his eyes, Worthless."
"But he himself is a rare martial arts genius, and now he is a martial arts expert at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm. There are very few things that can impress him."
I only heard Emperor Qin say faintly: "That's wrong, he is in the realm of heaven and human beings."
When Li Xin heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He was in the realm of heaven and human beings in his twenties. What kind of evil qualifications did he have?
Sima Jie and Bailice's backs were wet with cold sweat.
With the help of Emperor Qin, the two of them reached the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, which was a time of great ambition.
So when I first heard Li Xin brag about Lin Ze, I didn't take it seriously. Isn't it just that he has good martial arts qualifications and good luck? What's so great about it?
But when he learned from Emperor Qin that Lin Ze was in the Heavenly Realm, he had one thought in his mind: Never send me to conquer the Western Regions.
Emperor Qin looked at the expressions of Li Xin and the others and suddenly said with some displeasure: "What are you afraid of? In today's world of great strife, luck is extremely uncertain. As important ministers of the Qin Dynasty, even if you are a man of heaven, you will not be easy to deal with." You take action to avoid damaging your luck and facing disaster."
Li Xin and the others immediately bowed with serious expressions on their faces: "Your Majesty is teaching you a lesson."
However, he didn't think so in his heart. If he really thought that he could provoke a strong person in the Heavenly Realm like this, a hundred lives would probably not be enough to kill him.
Li Xin suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I would like to take the liberty of saying a few words."
"I'm listening."
Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am trying to excuse the traitor. Lin Ze is loyal to the Qin Dynasty by nature, and he has also made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. He defected before, or he may have other secrets."
"I dare to ask your majesty to send an envoy to the Western Regions. If you can understand him rationally and move him emotionally, you may be able to change his mind."
"The world has been in turmoil for several years, but the people want peace of mind. Why would your Majesty not do this to kill two birds with one stone?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qin shouted angrily: "Li Xin, you are so presumptuous. Do you really think you claim to be a loyal minister? I don't dare to kill you, right?"
Li Xin bowed his head and said: "I am devoted to your majesty and the country of Qin. If your majesty wants to accuse me, I will not complain at all."
Emperor Qin looked at Li Xin indifferently and said coldly: "Come here, drag Li Xin down and give him three hundred sticks as a punishment."
The imperial guards guarding the entrance of the hall immediately separated into four people. Regardless of Li Xin's identity as a powerful man in the divine soul realm, they dragged him outside the hall and threw him on the ground. Two people on each side, holding copper sticks, beat Li Xin hard. On the back and hips.
"Bang bang bang bang", the copper rod collided with the flesh and blood body, and the dull sound was transmitted into the hall.
Li Xin struggled to suppress the power of the master in his body. Not only did he not actively use it to protect his body, he also restrained even the most basic automatic body protection, and he simply used his body to bear the burden of the staff.
Emperor Qin was angry, how dare Li Xin prevent him from venting his anger?
The guards were very skilled in their stick skills. In a moment, they struck three hundred sticks and the execution was completed.
Emperor Qin's voice came just in time: "Drag him in."
The four of them dragged Li Xin back to the hall again, threw him on the ground, bowed, and turned to leave.
Emperor Qin glanced at Li Xin's bloody back and asked in a cold voice: "Do you still want to excuse the traitor?"
Li Xin got up, knelt down and bowed down and said, "I am not trying to excuse him. I am just loyal to your majesty and to the country of Qin."
"Even if I order you to be beaten to death, do you still have no regrets?"
Li Xin said with determination: "If you want me to die, I have no choice but to die."
Emperor Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "Pass on my decree, order Li Xin to be the commander-in-chief of the southern expedition army, lead an army of 200,000 to the south, and pacify the traitor Zhao Tuo."
"This battle can only be won but not defeated. If defeated, the nine Li family members will find a geomantic treasure land and bury themselves."
Li Xin kowtowed: "Your Majesty Li Xin obeys the decree."
Emperor Qin looked at Sima Jie and Bailice again and said in a deep voice: "You two are the commanders of the army to conquer the east, and you have to put down the rebel Liu Ji. Is there any problem?"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
"As for the Western Regions, I won't send any envoys. For your sake, Li Xin, I will go there myself."
