Lin Ze looked at the closed gates of the once prosperous Chang'an City from a distance, with a slightly complicated look on his face.
Twenty-one years ago, when Lin Ze came to this world, he secretly thought that the Qin Empire, which dominated the world and was powerful in all directions, would perish in this second generation?
Looking back now, I can only sigh secretly: Manpower is ultimately no match for heaven.
Lin Ze lasted in this sad state for three breaths, then called Wu Fan and asked, "Can the Buddhist Confucians take action?"
Wu Fan bowed and replied: "For your information, the Lord, since Liu Ji's army was ambushed by the Qin State five days ago and suffered heavy losses, the Buddhist Confucianists have united their forces and acted extremely cautiously."
"Right now, it is said that the two parties are building a camp twenty miles away from Chang'an City. They have sent out scouts and are keeping their troops stationary. I inquired and learned that they seem to be waiting for me, the Western Qin Dynasty, to send troops to attack Chang'an."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Buddhism and Confucianism are not so naive. They should be waiting for the opportunity. If Rugu's prediction is correct, to be more precise, they are waiting for Emperor Qin to lose his destiny."
Destiny? Wu Fan scratched his head when he heard this and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "May I ask the Lord, what is destiny?"
Lin Ze looked at the clouds of luck that were gradually dissipating over Chang'an City, and said with a hint: "Destiny, sometimes it is fate!"
Wu Fan looked confused: "Master, I still don't understand."
Lin Ze chuckled lightly and said, "You will understand when you advance to heaven one day. Let people keep an eye on the Buddhist and Confucian camps. Regardless of whether there is any abnormality, deliver the news back on time."
Wu Fan bowed and responded: "I understand."
Waving Wu Fan to leave, Lin Ze turned around and walked out of the military camp, walked into a forest, and finally stopped in front of a sycamore tree.
Lin Ze raised his head slightly, looked at Zhuang Zhou lying on the branch, and said with a strange look on his face: "Senior brother, are you really planning to sleep in the wild and not go back to the camp to rest?"
Zhuang Zhou slid down from the branch on one side of his body and stood firmly in front of Lin Ze. He said with a smile: "Brother, I think this is good. How can sleeping in the camp be as comfortable as having the whole sky covered?"
After saying this, Zhuang Zhou closed his eyes, intoxicated with himself, and breathed in the breath of freedom.
Lin Ze looked at this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, okay, abstract idealist, you can like it.
After being intoxicated, Zhuang Zhou came back to his senses and asked, "Junior brother, are you here to see me for anything?"
Lin Ze immediately bowed his hands and asked, "Junior brother, I came here to ask if I can discuss with the Buddhist Confucians when to take action against the Emperor of Qin?"
Zhuang Zhou glanced in the direction of Chang'an, shook his head and said, "The time has not come yet."
Lin Ze said with a puzzled look on his face: "Since the three religions joined forces to conquer Qin, a large part of Qin's territory has been reduced. In the land of Longxing, there is only an isolated city of Chang'an in Guanzhong. The country will not be able to conquer the country, and the clouds of luck are dissipating. How could the opportunity not be there?"
arrive?"
Zhuang Zhou replied with a strange look on his face: "Logically speaking, when the army approaches Chang'an, the time should have come, but for some reason, this destiny still belongs to Qin Huangzheng and has not been transferred or disappeared."
"Right now, Emperor Qin's destiny has not been lost. If it's a small fight and a little punishment, senior brother and others have no worries. But if we want to eradicate the people who have destiny, not to mention senior brother and others, even saints like the teacher don't dare to take action easily.
, to avoid excessive loss of luck."
Lin Ze was stunned when he heard this and was speechless for a moment.
Even though this is the case, I still haven't lost my destiny. This destiny seems a bit hard.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This attack on Qin is obviously not as simple as the three sages said at the beginning.
Well, if a fight does break out, we must find ways to stay away.
Lin Ze thought for a while and continued to ask: "Senior brother, does he know any means to deprive Qin Huangzheng of his destiny? Just waiting like this does not seem to be a good strategy."
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but feel a bit toothache and replied: "If senior brother had the means to deprive Emperor Qin of his destiny, why would he wait here so hard? He would have already discussed with the Buddhists and Confucians to take action."
"Senior brother, I only heard from my teacher that the Qin State has lost its territory and the people have nothing to rely on. The destiny of heaven has naturally left the Qin Emperor. Now that the situation is abnormal, senior brother can only ask the teacher for help."
"Before junior brother came, senior brother had conveyed the situation to the teacher truthfully. I think he will get a reply soon."
As soon as Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, a butterfly appeared from the void and flew towards him.
Zhuang Zhou stretched out his right hand and let the butterfly fall on his palm, which collapsed into six characters: "Chang'an is broken and the destiny is lost."
Upon seeing this, Zhuang Zhou moved his hand in front of Lin Ze, his intention being self-evident.
Lin Ze coughed lightly, pretending not to know and said: "Senior Brother, Junior Brother suddenly remembered that there are military matters that have not been dealt with, so I will leave first."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhuang Zhou to react, Lin Ze disappeared in front of Zhuang Zhou like the wind.
Zhuang Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud, wiped away the words in his hand, and said loudly in the direction of Lin Ze: "Teacher's order, junior brother, can you escape?"
Lin Ze turned a deaf ear and quickly returned to the military camp and issued an order to the entire army: "All officers and soldiers listen to the order. Anyone who does not personally order troops to send out troops and leads troops out of the camp will be regarded as treason, and everyone will be punished. Any rebel will be punished."
Great reward."
Zhuang Zhou...
Feeling helpless, Zhuang Zhou left the Wutong trees that exuded the fragrance of freedom, walked into Linze's tent, and said in a deep voice: "Little brother, I don't know if you have other ideas, but the attack on Qin is inevitable, and there is absolutely no room for shirk.
."
Lin Ze said with an innocent face: "What does senior brother mean by this? Did junior brother ever say that he wanted to shirk this matter?"
Zhuang Zhou was angry and funny and said: "Junior brother, what is the meaning of that military order just now?"
Lin Ze replied confidently: "As a master, isn't it natural for junior brother to firmly control the military power? If any one person can mobilize the army, wouldn't junior brother be ignored?"
Zhuang Zhou was confused at first, what his younger brother seemed to say made sense, but then he thought, that's not right, why are you going around in circles with him?
So he asked directly: "Junior brother, I would like to ask you today, when will we arrange for the army to attack Chang'an?"
Lin Ze coughed lightly and replied: "It will be dark today, so we should talk tomorrow."
"Besides, isn't conquering the Qin Dynasty a common thing for the three religions? At least, my senior brother asked the Buddhist and Confucian opinions on how we should work together to capture the solid city of Chang'an?"
"Does senior brother think that Chang'an can be captured by just relying on junior brother's army of hundreds of thousands and being isolated and without support?"
At the end of the sentence, Lin Ze complained in a low voice: "Besides, the Nanyue army has thousands of monks with outstanding martial arts accompanying the army, Liu Ji's army has thousands of Confucian scholars who are good at the Six Arts of the Gentleman, and there are not even half of the Western Qin army.
A Taoist disciple who knows how to use talismans."
Zhuang Zhou's face turned red for no reason. Compared with the strength of Buddhist and Confucian support for his family's supporting forces, the Taoist palace's support for Lin Ze seemed to be a little worse.
"Ahem, senior brother will go to the Buddhist Confucianists tomorrow to discuss the attack on Chang'an."
Lin Ze quickly stopped him and said: "Brother, please don't go to the Buddhist Confucianists, and wait for a few days with peace of mind. When the Buddhist Confucianists can't help but come to the door, we can discuss it again and then we can take the initiative."
In Lin Ze's view, it seemed too eager for Zhuang Zhou to come to discuss this matter with the Buddhist and Confucian scholars at this time.
Due to the previous incident, the Buddhist Confucianists who are dissatisfied with Daogong and Lin Ze are very likely to put on airs and make some unreasonable demands.
Lin Ze could think with his toes that if the unreasonable demands put forward by Buddhist Confucians harmed the interests of the Taoist Palace, the Taoist Palace would definitely not agree to it.
But if it is Lin Ze's interests that are harmed, Dao Palace may not agree to it out of consideration of the overall situation.
After thinking about it, Lin Ze thought it would be better to wait for the other party to come to the door.
Zhuang Zhou quickly understood what Lin Ze meant and responded: "Then senior brother, just wait for a few days with peace of mind."
