Lin Ze was going to lead troops to Shangluo, but everyone knew that he was going to Jingzhao County to cause trouble and make Dong Zhuo unhappy.
So, when Diao Chan came, she knelt in front of Lin Ze and said, "Ms. sir, you must take me with you when you go to Chang'an this time. Lord Situ, Wang Yun, has the grace to save my life and nurture me. I am leaving home." It's been too long. I need to go see him, tell him about my husband-in-law, and ask him to marry me. Even though you and I are actually husband and wife, the world will not recognize you as my husband-in-law."
How could Lin Ze agree?
"Take it with you at home. One day I will kill Dong Zhuo and I will naturally let you meet Wang Situ."
Diao Chan knelt down in front of Lin Ze, hugged his legs, and said, "Ms. sir, my foster father is old and is being bullied by Dong Zhuo. I'm worried that if I don't go now, I'll never see him again."
Lin Ze didn't like Diao Chan's behavior, as if he was bullying her. Lin Ze helped her up and said, "It's not that my husband doesn't want you to go, it's actually Dong Zhuo who has turned Chang'an into a hell on earth. He not only fornicated the harem, but also Stealing girls in the street makes the people miserable, and your methods are more ruthless than those of Daji and King Zhou. You say you are as beautiful as a flower, but Dong Zhuo sees you, is there any way to survive?"
But Diao Chan shook her head and said: "I don't care, I'm not afraid. If I don't get the consent of my adoptive father, I won't be able to stay together with my husband for a long time. But I can't bear to leave my husband, so it's better to bump into me and die here." .”
Lin Ze also got angry and said, "Then you just hit your head and die here, and I can't let you go back!"
After saying that, Lin Ze felt sorry for her and said, "I brought Wang Situ to see you, and I won't let you see him."
But Lin Ze didn't expect Diao Chan to be serious, so he turned around and rushed towards the pillar. Thanks to Lin Ze's quick hands, he picked up Diao Chan horizontally, but the girl started to flutter, like those pigs on Douyin that can't be held down. .
At this time, Liu Jin'er pushed the door open and said sternly: "What are you making a fuss about? Why don't you come down?"
Liu Jin'er had the aura of a hostess, and Diao Chan was so frightened that she didn't dare to move anymore, she just cried silently on one side.
Liu Jin'er said: "You go and pack your bags. When my husband sets off, you can just follow him."
Diao Chan said in surprise: "Thank you, princess."
Then he ran out in a hurry.
Lin Ze sat on a chair and said, "Why did you agree to her?"
"Without the parents' orders to find a matchmaker, if she is with you, you might as well kill her."
Lin Zedao: "There is no such thing as a matchmaker ordered by our parents?"
Liu Jin'er smiled and said: "After my father's death, Queen He went into chaos, and my brother was poisoned by Li Ru. Who in the world can be my master? I'm not like women like them who are infected by Confucianism." .”
"Mainly, alas..."
Liu Jin'er grabbed Lin Ze's hand with force and said, "My husband, don't sigh. I want to tell you the truth. Chang'an is a hell on earth. Dong Zhuo raped the harem and robbed civilian girls. You rushed to send troops. Do you know something?" "
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Liu Jin'er finally heard these words.
This girl is very smart. He can't deceive her. If he doesn't tell the truth, she will have random thoughts. Lin Ze can only take out the letter and hand it to her.
Liu Jin'er trembled all over after reading no more than two lines of words and fainted.
Lin Ze hurriedly grabbed her hand, woke her up, and comforted her softly: "If we go to Jingzhao County this time, even if we poke a hole in the sky, my husband will kill Dong Zhuo. Don't worry."
Liu Jin'er grabbed Lin Ze's chest and clothes with both hands, trying hard not to cry. Lin Ze's body was already stained with too many of her tears.
A person is fine, but he is in a hurry, and his heart ailments require a heart-warming doctor. Dong Zhuo must be killed, so that this girl can live in peace.
He couldn't waste his time on the expedition, so Lin Ze handed her over to the maids and went out.
When they met with the Yi Cong troops, Xu Jiaojiao was leading people to deliver military rations to them. Seeing Lin Ze's unhappy expression, Xu Jiaojiao asked, "What's wrong, my lord? Are you upset?"
Lin Ze said helplessly: "None of the girls around me have peace of mind. I am obviously trying hard to do many things, but it seems that I can't meet their needs. You said, Cai Wenji has left, and Diao Chan is also making trouble. Going home, Jin'er is thinking about the palace every day, oh, why do you feel so wrong with this world?"
Xu Jiaojiao covered her mouth and snickered, and said: "My lord, it's not that the world is wrong, it's you who are wrong. After passing through the door of the Lin family, you will find the Lin family. Look at you. Not only do you not strictly control them, but you also indulge them. Even the maids can serve on the table. From ancient times to the present, the common people have been untouchables. You are about to imprison them, but you are too indulgent. If you are too indulgent, they will no longer be afraid of you."
Lin Ze said: "It stands to reason that when I lead troops to fight, I am not soft-handed!"
"That's for the outside world. Think about it, who in the army dares to glare at you? My father said that your knife is cruel to the outside world, but too soft to the inside. If this happens, sooner or later something will happen. Look at my mother, how dare you You mentioned half a word about going back to your parents’ home?”
Lin Ze laughed and said, "So it's a habit?"
"I'm not talking about the princess. You and the princess share life and death. The princess has regarded you as herself. She can't wait to give you her heart. There are some things that we can't help ourselves. It's that Diao Chan. She is a fairy in the world. How can a mortal dare to take another look? You are the overlord of the world, and only domineering can suppress her. Once she gets familiar with you and understands your temperament, she will feel that you are nothing more than this for a long time."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Who told you this?"
"Listen to what my father and mother said. They have lived for more than half their lives, so they have seen a lot." Xu Jiaojiao said while filling Lin Ze's waterproof bag with military rations and boiled and cooled water: "You have to come back early. Shouchun is not like Yueyang Village. You raised it single-handedly. My father said that although you are very capable, even after a sneak attack by Yuan Shu, you have realized the evil of human nature and have not seen the evil of human nature." Human nature is so mean.”
Lin Ze got on his horse and said, "The baseness of human nature?"
Xu Jiaojiao is a smart person. She suffered a lot since she was a child and looked at people every day. In the end, she was almost burned to death. She escaped from hell and saw the world more clearly. She also knew that Lin Ze was also a very smart person. When he is with the common people, some things cannot be seen clearly. He will understand with a slight click. After saying this, he will not say anything again.
Lin Ze really took Xu Jiaojiao's words to heart. Diao Chan didn't care. Girls were just meant to be spoiled. Being able to act coquettishly and make trouble meant that she had transformed from a puppet into a human being.
If the people in this area are going to be in trouble, if Xu Jiaojiao can tell it, it might be a bystander's knowledge.
Walking under the stars and the moon all the way, the soldiers all wore big cloaks and slept on their horses, but Lin Ze didn't sleep. Thinking about Xu Jiaojiao's words, this was the first time he reviewed what he had done in the past two years after coming to the Three Kingdoms.
After waking up from being a refugee, he realized that he had been a life-saving grace to them, to the people of Yueyang Village, and to the people abandoned in Fenglingdu. He was their reborn parent, so he naturally respected him, but Yuan Shu Not afraid of himself, Cao Cao plotted against himself over and over again. Even if they killed Lu Bu, they would still plot against him.
On the contrary, the soldiers who were defeated by him were obedient to his words. Huang Zhong was also threatened by his crossbow arrows and followed him to kill him before he became loyal and stopped quietly observing him. It seemed that he had to think carefully. The art of controlling people, after all, here I don't have a political commissar to do ideological work for me.
Lin Ze took a deep breath. He didn't think about the things of the people here for now. The first priority now was to kill Dong Zhuo first. He couldn't let this force change his fate just because of his arrival.
Seeing that Lin Ze didn't speak, Diao Chan felt uneasy. She thought Lin Ze was still angry with her, so she opened the curtains and said: "Ms. sir, just now I was in trouble because I was a little concerned. I knew I was wrong. You don't want to Is it okay to be angry with me?"
Lin Ze said: "No, it's been a long journey, so you should go to sleep."
Lin Ze just said a simple word, but Diao Chan became frightened and her heart had nowhere to rest. She didn't know where to put it, but she didn't dare to disturb her, so she lowered the curtains.
Lin Ze left as soon as he said so, traveling through the night. No one in the world could have imagined that Lin Ze would send troops towards Chang'an.
Nanyang was his own territory. Lin Ze could find the place with his eyes closed. When he arrived near Shangluo, Lin Ze led his troops to hide during the day and set out again at night.
Lin Ze knew that this was Shangluo City in Shaanxi Province, which was only two hundred miles away from Chang'an. He rushed there with eight thousand soldiers from the army overnight, with the purpose of capturing Shangluo first, and stationed troops in this place without anyone noticing. , looking for an opportunity to blitz Chang'an.
Shangluo is a powerful springboard for him. Lin Ze visually inspected the buildings in Shangluo City. Although they are not big, the city walls are high and thick. They are an important gateway to guard Chang'an.
During the Three Kingdoms era, siege warfare was the most difficult. The city wall was extremely thick, at least more than ten meters long. This was because every army that attacked the city had to either rely on ladders to climb the city wall or fight to the death to open the city gate.
The wood used for city gates is usually huge logs. After being made into a city gate, it will be processed in various ways and reinforced with iron sheets or even copper.
And they would rather use the ladder to go up the city wall than hit the city gate, because when the city gate was built, there was a row of small holes connected above the city gate and the city wall. They would pour the "golden juice" out of the small holes, that is, Boiled excrement water, if poured on it, will definitely open the skin and cause direct infection.
What is even more terrifying is the sulfuric acid known as "green oil" in this era.
Therefore, when they were fighting against Shouchun, Yuan Shu and Na Yu Ji dared to show off like that on top of the city.
This is why Lin Ze shocked the world when he blew up the city gate with one arrow.
In today's night attack, Lin Ze's method of choice was to blow up the door.
Two consecutive arrows blew up the city gate and the urn gate. Eight thousand men and horses quickly entered the city. Two thousand men and horses guarded the north gate. Two thousand men and horses guarded the south gate. The rest went straight to the city and massacred the garrison, completely destroying this pass. The city is in your own hands.
If word of this spreads, the gates of the cities targeted by Lin Ze will probably be replaced with all-copper ones.
After completely taking control of Shangluo, he strictly ordered the Yi Cong troops not to let go of even a single pig, let alone the common people...
