Chapter seven hundred and eighty fifth I want to go west
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he calmed down and asked, "What do you want, junior brother?"
Lin Ze stood up suddenly, pointed to the west and said: "Junior brother heard that in the far west, there is a country called the Byzantine Empire. Its territory is only slightly smaller than that of Qin, and its people number in the tens of millions."
"Junior brother wants to lead the army to the west and turn it into the back garden of the Western Qin Dynasty to harvest the luck and provide it for himself and the Dao Palace."
It is said that picking the weakest persimmon is too easy. Since there is no way to reap the benefits, Lin Ze has no intention of waiting forever. After thinking about it, if he doesn't take the opportunity to capture Byzantium, wouldn't he waste this good card in his hand?
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly and said: "The land in the far west is not as simple as my junior brother thought. As my junior brother said, the strength of the Byzantine Empire is almost the same as that of the Qin State. If we want to capture it, how many troops will we have to send? And how many troops will we have to send?"
How much supplies will be consumed?”
"If you are not careful, junior brother may lose troops and generals, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously and said: "Junior brother personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to march westward, how could he fail?"
No matter what Zhuang Zhou and the others thought, Lin Ze didn't have the so-called sense of superiority that the gods would not take action easily.
It would be fine if the Qin army could defeat the Byzantine Empire in an honest and upright manner on the battlefield. If they could not win, Lin Ze would not mind showing those people the horror of the realm of heaven and man.
Lin Ze's words were so explicit, how could Zhuang Zhou not understand?
But Zhuang Zhou coughed slightly and said, "Even if my junior brother personally leads the army, there is still the possibility of a big defeat."
Lin Ze's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Is it possible that there are still powerful people in the Heavenly Realm sitting in the far west?"
Zhuang Zhou suddenly fell into memories, nodded slightly and said: "As far as my senior brother knows, during the Battle of the Gods, some heavenly beings had to go to the far west in order to avoid the catastrophe."
"At that time, the land in the far west was desolate. There were only some wild tribes who made a living by hunting, gathering and herding. Therefore, they were never taken seriously by the Shang and Zhou Dynasties at that time."
"On the eve of the end of the Battle of the Gods, senior brother made a special trip to the far west. In order to compete for the few fortunes in the realm of heaven and earth, he claimed to be a creation god or god king, and deceived the tribes of wild people to worship him.
Sacrifice them and secretly instigate them to expand."
"Unexpectedly, ten thousand years have passed, and the land in the far west has become rich, and a dynasty comparable to Qin has appeared."
Lin Ze was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that the Byzantine Empire was a soft persimmon, but unexpectedly, it was still thorny.
Originally, Lin Ze planned to experience the exotic customs. Since there were risks, he had to change his approach.
So, Lin Ze asked with a smile on his face: "How do the magical abilities of those fleeing Heavenly and Human Realm experts compare to those of our senior brothers?"
The meaning of these words is obvious.
Zhuang Zhou had an unnatural look on his face and said: "Every heaven and human realm has extraordinary methods. Even if my senior brother has extraordinary cultivation, he doesn't dare to say who his opponent is, so he doesn't dare to make any comments.
.”
The meaning of shirk is beyond words.
Facing Zhuang Zhou who couldn't slide his hand, Lin Ze's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what method to use.
But Hui Shi suddenly said: "I didn't expect you, Zhuang Zhou, to talk nonsense. Those people who fled westward were basically in the first realm of heaven and humans. How could they be your opponent in the third realm?"
"Besides, the Tao you have comprehended is very special. Even if you are as strong as Teacher, who is in the fourth realm of heaven and human beings, it would probably take a lot of effort to kill you, let alone a group of people in the first realm?"
"If you want to shirk it, just say it openly. Aren't you ashamed of being secretive among senior fellow apprentices?"
Excellent, Lin Ze gave Hui Shi thirty-two thumbs up in his heart, and said in a quiet tone: "Senior Brother Cai also said just now that as long as he can help, he will definitely not refuse. Unexpectedly, senior brother is not willing to do such a small thing.
help."
Zhuang Zhou glared at Hui Shi fiercely, and said to Lin Ze with a smile: "The land in the far west is not a place where luck is favored. Even if you occupy it all, you may not be able to harvest much luck.
.”
"Comparatively speaking, the Qin Kingdom's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are the key to the struggle for destiny. Junior brother should put all his thoughts on this instead of rushing westward."
"It's not that my senior brother is unwilling to help you. If your strength is greatly reduced due to the westward march and you are unable to compete for destiny, then you won't gain more than you lose?"
Hearing this, Lin Ze complained secretly: "It's because you refused to follow us that you could lose your troops, okay?"
Lin Ze was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "Senior brother is worried and is unwilling to follow the army to march westward, and junior brother is not forcing it. Fortunately, before leaving, the teacher said that if you have any difficulties, you can ask him for help.
"
"It seems that junior brother needs to go back to the Dao Palace and have a good chat with the teacher."
Zhuang Zhou felt choked when he heard this, coughed several times, pretended that nothing happened just now, and said with a serious face: "Junior brother, you want to march west, but you are worried about losing your strength. Do you want senior brother to accompany the army to protect you?"
Lin Ze chuckled lightly, accompanied the performance, bowed his hands and said: "Senior brother is an expert at knowing things, I admire him."
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Hui Shi and said with an arrogant expression: "Your senior brother and I really have to take action in this matter. Even if it were your third senior brother, I might not be able to do it."
Lin Ze's expression changed and he asked, "Oh, why is this?"
Zhuang Zhou showed a trace of disdain without concealing it and said: "Although your third senior brother is also in the third realm of heaven and human and has extraordinary strength, in terms of the ability to save life, he is far worse than my senior brother."
"If he is allowed to protect the army, he will be involved in it."
Hui Shi couldn't help laughing and said: "Zhuang Zhou, why do you use such inferior methods to provoke me? Do you think that I will take the initiative to travel to the far west for you?"
"Besides, how can there be a Heavenly Realm in the Far West at this time? Those weak Heavenly Realms may still be out there, trying hard to find ways to break down barriers."
Lin Ze's expression changed and he asked, "Don't all the heavenly beings descend from the sky?"
Hui Shi smiled slightly and said: "Of course not. Only those who are strong in the fourth realm like Teacher can take advantage of the great changes in the world and forcefully open a passage between the outer world and the human world."
"Except for the Emperor of Qin, all the heavenly beings in the world today come from the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. The so-called gods in the far west are generally lower in cultivation than the founders of hundreds of schools of thought. Even the founders of hundreds of schools of thought are
If they can't come, let alone them?"
When Lin Ze heard this, he looked at Zhuang Zhou with a complex expression.
The latter said without blushing or out of breath: "Brother, this is for the good of my junior brother. Who can be sure that the heavenly beings in the far west are trapped outside the sky and cannot come to them?"
"What if someone with extraordinary means comes here through trickery? Wouldn't it be tragic if my junior brother bumped into it?"
Lin Ze nodded slightly when he heard this. Zhuang Zhou was right. He had his senior brother to do such a dangerous thing for him, so why did he have to do it on his own?
Seeing Lin Ze's approval, Zhuang Zhou chuckled and said, "Junior brother, come, let's discuss the matter of the Western Expedition."
Lin Ze turned to Han Xin and said with a serious face: "Would you like to be the commander in the battle to destroy the country?"
When Han Xin heard this, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to serve our lord as a dog and a horse."
Lin Ze praised loudly: "Okay, Gu Cong brought a total of 400,000 troops out of the Qin State, of which 100,000 were led by Zhang Han and Yu Ziqi to capture the pasture."
"There are 300,000 left. I will hand over 250,000 of them to you. You will be given a selection of weapons and ammunition. You will be provided with sufficient food and grass."
"I have a request. After a while, you send an envoy to tell me that there is only one kingdom in the far west, and that is Western Qin."
Han Xin also replied loudly: "No."
Lin Ze then turned to Chen Ping and Wu Fan and said: "The Prime Minister will fully cooperate with the preparations for the expedition. The sooner the better."
"The Jin Yiwei arranged for two thousand elite troops to accompany the army to spy on the military situation for the army. If necessary, they would assassinate enemy generals, sneak into the enemy city, and open the city gates."
Chen Ping and Wu Fan raised their hands and said, "I obey."
Finally, Lin Ze bowed to Zhuang Zhou and said, "I'll leave this matter to my senior brother."
"The army is what junior brothers rely on to fight for destiny. I hope that senior brothers will be careful and don't let them lose too much."
