Zhang Han nodded, then shook his head: "The general doesn't understand."
Lin Ze sneered and said: "If these barbarians have made great achievements, should you reward them or not?"
"If you don't reward and the rewards and punishments are unclear, don't say that the barbarians will resent you and secretly want to rebel against you. Even the officers and soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty will have a grudge against you if they see too much."
"If you reward me, these barbarians will take advantage of the situation and grow stronger. Sooner or later, you will be like a thorn in your back, making you restless."
"The aliens who are not from my race must have different hearts. Only the dead aliens are the good aliens. If you want such a big army, you can just kill some of them today and recruit another batch tomorrow."
Just after saying this, a familiar aura appeared in Lin Ze's senses, and he quickly approached Wuwei City.
Lin Ze glanced at Zhang Han, who looked confused, and said casually: "Go and slowly understand, I still have important things to deal with."
After speaking, Lin Ze stretched out his right hand and grabbed Wu Fan, who was flying in mid-air dozens of miles away. He gently pulled him to the city wall.
Wu Fan, who was struggling to fly, felt that the world was spinning for a moment. The scene in front of his eyes changed, and the blue sky and white clouds turned into gray-yellow city walls. When he saw Lin Ze, he calmed down and knew that Lin Ze had taken action.
"I pay my respects to the lord of the country," Wu Fan bowed to Lin Ze before he had time to think about it.
Lin Ze asked calmly: "How is the situation in Yanzhao?"
Wu Fan cupped his hands and said, "Liu Ji sent a total of 150,000 troops this time, divided into three groups, to capture the land of Yan and Zhao."
"All the way across Qidi, directly to Yanji; all the way to Handan first, and then all the way north; from east to west, straight to Jinyang. The armies of the three routes were overwhelming, and the counties and counties along the road either abandoned the city and fled, or looked at the wind.
drop."
"In addition, I also found out that Liu Ji sent an army of 50,000 to capture Wei, and an army of 70,000 to capture Qi. All of these troops, without exception, went to the former Qin Dynasty to conquer Liao."
"Obviously, Liu Ji intended to divide the army that conquered Liao Mansion in order to "digest" it and use it for his own use."
As soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, with the help of Xiao Jin, a three-dimensional map suddenly appeared in Lin Ze's mind, clearly marking the location of Liu Ji's army and its next movements.
After a few breaths, a smile appeared on Lin Ze's face and he said: "Liu Ji's movements are so fast that they are worthy of his ambition."
"Zhang Han, please return to the camp quickly to reward the army. Let them rest early tonight and recuperate their energy. Early tomorrow morning, you will set off with the orphans and arrive at Jinyang City within two days..."
"I'm just waiting in Jinyang City, waiting for Liu Ji's army to come over."
After hearing Lin Ze's order, Zhang Han ignored the doubts in his heart. The confusion on his face was wiped away, and he replied with confidence: "I will obey the order."
Wu Fan looked at Zhang Han's leaving figure and said softly: "My lord, the army will set off from Wuwei City tomorrow. Do you need to notify General Yu Ziqi?"
Lin Ze nodded slightly and said: "Send a message to Yu Ziqi, telling him not to stop in Wuwei City and to go directly to the land of Yanzhao to meet up with Gu."
"The Jin Yiwei must maintain close contact with Yu Ziqi's army. As long as he enters the land of Yan and Zhao, he will obey orders at any time."
Wu Fan cupped his hands, turned and left.
…
Zhaodi, Shouyang County.
The magistrate of Shouyang County was naked, holding a sheep, and kneeling at the city gate with a group of Qin officials, as if to greet someone.
A moment later, an army of five thousand roared in. Seeing this scene, they suddenly stopped three hundred meters away from the city gate.
The magistrate of Shouxian County quickly shouted loudly: "On behalf of all the people of Shouxian County, I respectfully welcome the arrival of the heavenly army."
A bearded general walked out of the queue and looked at the magistrate of Shouxian County who was kneeling on the ground with a mocking smile and wagging his tail. He couldn't help but spat and said with a bad look on his face: "Another one who has no bones to surrender.
The general has not used his sword in three days, only his "gun"."
The bearded general raised his right hand and waved it forward. Immediately a battalion of 500 men stepped forward, rushed into the city, and controlled the city walls and gates.
Seeing that he was in control of the city defense, the bearded military general relaxed. He dismounted and walked up to the magistrate of Shouxian County. He took the reins of the sheep and said: "Get up, your life is temporarily saved, hurry up."
Go and prepare some good food and drink to reward my brothers."
"General, please wait a moment. I will handle it right now." The magistrate of Shouxian County quickly got up and ran into the city.
"Wait a minute," the bearded military general suddenly called to the magistrate of Shouxian County and said with a lewd smile: "Find me some more agile girls. I want to practice my marksmanship."
The magistrate of Shouxian County was stunned at first, but when he saw the bearded military general straightening his back, he came to his senses and said with a smile on his face: "I understand, I will definitely satisfy the general."
The bearded general laughed and said loudly: "Brothers, follow me into the city and enjoy yourself."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the city.
Just halfway through, a burst of rapid hoofbeats sounded not far away, and a knight galloped over.
The knight looked at the army entering the city, quickly took out a mailbox from his arms, and said loudly: "General Dong Huan has an order. After the troops capture the city, they are not allowed to stay. They must quickly join him and attack Jinyang."
The knight shouted as he bypassed the army and came to the bearded general. He handed the mailbox over with both hands: "General, please take the order."
The bearded military general took the mailbox and asked unwillingly: "I would like to ask your envoy, how about we rest here in Shouxian County for a day after several battles, and then set off to join General Dong tomorrow?"
During the questioning, the bearded military general handed over several golden tickets without revealing anything.
The messenger calmly accepted the gold ticket and said in a low voice: "To be honest, General Dong led his army to Jinyang yesterday. He wanted to enter the city to rest, but he didn't expect that 10,000 troops attacked Jinyang City with high walls and thick walls.
After the defeat, the army lost 30%, and it is now very angry."
"Shou County is only fifty miles away from Jinyang. It is now three quarters before noon. Shouxian County has surrendered on its own initiative. If the general deliberately delays the time, it may not be a good thing if General Dong finds out."
The bearded military general's face became stern and solemn, and he whispered: "Thank you for reminding me, sir. Please rest assured. I will rush to Jinyang immediately with my brothers after having dinner in Shouxian County."
The messenger smiled slightly and said: "General, it is wise. I have to go to other places to deliver messages and orders, so I won't delay the general and brothers' meal."
The bearded general said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, please go slowly."
As soon as the messenger left, the bearded military general immediately ordered: "The whole army is divided into two teams. The first team of 2,000 people defends the city, and the second team of 3,000 people follows the general to raid the house. Three quarters of an hour later, they will meet at the city gate."
An hour later, the bearded general returned home from Shouxian County with a full load and rushed to Jinyang.
…
Outside Jinyang City, corpses littered the fields. Hu soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Occasionally, they would see a corpse of a fellow tribesman, with a look of sadness on their faces.
Lin Ze stood on the wall of Jinyang City, looking at this scene with a calm expression.
In order to gather together the 50,000 Liao army, Lin Ze first asked 10,000 Hu soldiers to defend the city. While the opponent failed to attack the city, he thought that Jinyang City was not difficult to defeat, so he naturally summoned his companions.
When the 50,000 Zhengliaofu army gathered outside the city, Lin Ze took the Hu soldiers as the vanguard and went out of the city to attack the Zhengliaofu army, thereby disrupting the opponent's array.
When the opponent's formation was in chaos, Zhang Han immediately led 50,000 troops out of the city, catching the opponent off guard and defeating the 50,000 Liao army in one fell swoop.
In this battle, apart from the casualties of more than 2,000 Hu soldiers, the Western Qin army only suffered more than 100 casualties, which can be said to be a complete victory.
The 50,000-strong army of the Liao Prefecture was conquered. The general died in the battle, and thousands of soldiers were killed on the spot. Half of the remaining troops surrendered and the other half fled.
Zhang Han led part of the army to catch up.
Half an hour later, Zhang Han led the army and returned with the prisoners in custody. He ran to Lin Ze, bowed his hands and said, "The general has lived up to his expectations and has wiped out all the enemy troops. I have come here to report back to the Lord."
Lin Ze nodded slightly, took a step forward, and lightly pointed on Zhang Han's forehead. A complex message was passed on, but it was a secret method to unite the military.
Zhang Han's face was filled with joy, and he bowed deeply and said, "I would like to thank the Lord for the reward."
