Singing and dancing are still taking place at night, a bright moon shines through the west window, and there is still singing and dancing on the banks of the Danjiang River.
At this time, the Danjiang River was still a branch of the Wei River, flowing through Shangluo.
Lin Ze has already brought 18,000 troops to Shangluo. No one in the world knows at all when Lin Ze arrived in Shangluo. When Lin Ze uses his troops, he is either as active as a rabbit or as quiet as a virgin. No one in the world knows what Lin Ze’s next step will be. What to do.
On the banks of the Danjiang River, there was constant noise, and people were busy playing silk and bamboo orchestras. In the commotion, celebrities in Chang'an circulated and had fun, squandering their lives wantonly.
People in Chang'an are living in poverty, but Danyang is full of singing and dancing. It is understandable that those in power only want to enjoy themselves after taking power.
When Dong Zhuo was killed, Shangluo was captured by Lin Ze. When he withdrew his troops, he kept Shangluo. Now the city should have been controlled by Fan Chou, but it was infiltrated by Lin Ze within an hour.
Lin Ze's Xunfang City was intentional, but Shangluo was the product of the Chang'an riots. There were many dignitaries here, so Lin Ze who hid his army in the city was not so eye-catching.
At this moment, there were only two people around Lin Ze, one Xu Ziwu and the other Du Xiao.
Until now, Lin Ze didn't know what happened at home, because none of the battle reports south of the Huaihe River had been sent to him. In his current understanding, if there was no news, there would be no problems.
It wasn't Zhang Zhao and the others who made their own decisions, it was just that they really didn't dare to let Lin Ze know that there was such a big trouble at home. Now they could only control the situation first and rescue the wife.
Otherwise it would affect the lord's strategic intentions in Chang'an, which would not be good.
Although the water is cold in the depth of winter, the soft flowing fireflies are still singing their melodious music on the golden powder terrace, and the fragrant breeze is floating around, making people not feel the cold at all.
Du Xiao, who was following Lin Ze, said: "My lord, Shangluo has a little bit of us looking for Fangcheng."
Lin Ze nodded and said: "You create a rumor here. There will be a war in Chang'an. The people here will be in dire straits. The only way for a prostitute to find Fangcheng is to survive."
Du Xiao smiled and said: "My lord, how is your brain growing? I found out that Li Jue of Chang'an was in a panic. The day is not far when the city of Chang'an will be destroyed without attack, but the brothers below are all wondering, Why don’t you just attack?”
Lin Ze said: "You have to take a longer view. The city of Chang'an is very fragile, but the Southern Huns behind Chang'an are preparing their troops and are eyeing the Guanzhong area."
Xu Ziwu said: "Master, Luan Tihu Chuquan of the Southern Huns has arrived."
Lin Ze frowned and said, "This Hu Chuquan is Yu Fuluo's younger brother, right? I want to see their Shanyu of the Southern Huns, what is he doing here?"
"Yufuluo is seriously ill, and his younger brother Huchuquan is likely to be the next Shanyu of the Southern Huns."
Lin Ze heard this and said: "There is no power dispute among the Southern Xiongnu. The Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu is probably Huchuquan. Their team is drifting with the tide and has connections with the Yellow Turban Army and Yuan Shao. They can rely on the most powerful one." The force was Zhang Yan’s Black Mountain Army, but Zhang Yan was destroyed by us in Beihai. Once Dong Zhuo died, they had no support, and instead became a spirit, a little bit eager to restore their glory as the Huns.”
Xu Ziwu said: "Just kill him!"
Lin Ze said: "I think so too, but we must first calm down the enemy. Let's see if we can persuade them to surrender today."
Shangluo Huiyan Tower, a three-story building, is exquisite.
The boss is an old bustard who escaped from Chang'an. He paid off Fan Chou's men with a large sum of money, and then used the beauties here to corrupt many of Fan Chou's men, so that this big brothel could continue to operate.
Today, this high-rise building was reserved by Lin Ze and would no longer accept other guests.
At this time, on the top floor of Huiyan Tower, there was a group of young women, all with graceful clouds and jingling steps. At the head of the table was Huchuquan, the young Shanyu of the Southern Huns.
On his left and right sides, a man and a woman, both were masters of the Huns.
Lin Ze saw these two people as soon as he entered the door. The strength of the Han Dynasty was almost exhausted, and almost all the heroes were internally consumed. However, this minority group was developing quietly to prepare for the future Five Husties.
Lin Ze entered, and everyone in the hall retreated, leaving only six people present.
The Southern Xiongnu, like Lin Ze, were observing Chang'an's movements every day. The reason why Lin Ze and the Southern Xiongnu rulers met was to prevent them from stretching their hands too far.
The Southern Huns in Huchuquan had 200,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and they were very tall. After seeing Lin Ze, they casually leaned on the couch with a look of disdain.
Hu Chuquan was tall and thick, with a rugged temperament. When he leaned back, his disdainful aura became particularly clear, mainly because Lin Ze was not angry and had only an elegant temperament. Du Xiao was a prostitute, and Xu Ziwu still looked like a child.
Lin Ze raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Wei Yan, come in too!"
Wei Yan, who was wearing heavy armor, was outside the door. Hearing this, he walked in with a big knife. The big knife fell to the ground and pierced the floor with a "click". Huchuquan straightened up, but it seemed that he was still unprepared. speak nicely.
"Are you that Lin Ze who should be cheating? A warlord who was born as a refugee?"
After he said these words, Lin Ze suddenly remembered Cao Cao's helplessness of "Wandering around the tree three times and there is no branch to rely on." Lin Ze smiled and said: "Do princes and generals have the guts to be happy? Our Emperor Gaozu was also a pavilion chief. Wouldn’t his grandson Liu Che still destroy your Huns ancestors? General Wei Qing was also a horseman. Why, do you want to test the sword speed of a refugee like me?"
Hu Chuquan slapped the table hard and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Xu Ziwu scolded: "Who the hell are you banging the table with?"
The male bodyguard behind Hu Chuquan drew out his machete. How could Xu Ziwu hold back his temper? Lin Ze quickly got on the table and kicked him to the ground. Lin Ze said, "Ziwu, we are here to talk about things today. We don't kill anyone!"
Xu Ziwu stepped on the bodyguard and said, "If you don't have the ability, just shut your mouth."
Hu Chuquan was a little frightened. He originally thought that Wei Yan, who came in later, was the ceiling of Lin Ze's combat power, but he never expected that this child was so fierce. He really had a reputation for being a good person, and Lin Ze couldn't underestimate him.
Lin Ze's eyes showed a strong murderous intent, and he said: "Huchuquan and Shangluo are all my people. Why do I threaten you? Isn't it wrong if I just do it to you? Now I just want you to take your people away." Take him away and stay away from Chang'an, we don't offend the river."
Under Lin Ze's pressure, Hu Chuquan did not dare to be too arrogant, but he didn't know where the confidence came from, and he still tit for tat, saying: "Then why don't you just kill me?"
Lin Ze snorted softly and said: "A group of pigs has a leader who is easy to lead. If I kill you, the pigs will run everywhere and I will not be able to catch them! In this way, you and your people can go back to the northern grassland. Deep down, I’ll keep you safe for ten years, and after ten years, let’s see who is stronger.”
Lin Ze could actually choose to destroy all the luck of the Huns in one fell swoop, but he couldn't guarantee that Cao Cao would let him expand the land without limit. If he could negotiate, he could get the entire Guanzhong, and then attack Hanzhong and the northwest controlled by Zhang Lu. No war!
Hu Chuquan suddenly smiled and said: "You can obviously defeat me in one fell swoop. You do have the strength. But if you don't fight and choose to negotiate with me, is there something unspeakable about you?"
Lin Ze pulled a sneer from the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you really think Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will join forces with you to deal with me?"
"That's not it. Are you worried about your wife? We have heard all over the north that Liu Biao led his troops to capture Xiakou and robbed you of 200,000 people and hundreds of millions of supplies. Your wife is going It's really hard for you to kill Liu Biao when she asks for someone, but Liu Biao doesn't follow martial ethics. How can you still pretend to be so like her? Your heart is bleeding, right?"
This news was like a bolt from the blue to Lin Ze. This news was definitely not groundless. This was the reason why Huchuquan dared to come here.
"Lin Ze, you can't even protect your own women, and you still want to expand your territory? I think of what General Wei Qing said back then. If the Han people don't love their horses and their women, there is no hope for the Han people. Got it!"
Hu Chuquan stood up and said, "Lin Ze, in less than ten years, you will still have to marry us Huns!"
After saying that, he wanted to leave. At this moment, Lin Ze was like a knife, sharp, with a faint cold light. He said: "Huchuquan, exit the Great Wall, and save the whole body!"
Hu Chuquan snorted softly and said, "I want to see how far your sniper crossbow can shoot!"
After they all left, Xu Ziwu knelt in front of Lin Ze and said with red eyes: "Master, Master, she..."
Lin Ze was silent for ten minutes without saying a word. His whole body was trembling. Xu Ziwu did not dare to approach and pulled Du Xiao away. He had never seen his master behave like this.
"The article is long!"
Lin Ze finally spoke, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Yan stepped forward and said, "The general is here!"
Lin Zedao: "Chang'an is about to be in chaos. The real purpose of my trip is to snatch the emperor and ministers out of the palace and preserve the fate of the Han Dynasty. I won't go. I'll leave this task to you. Can you do it?"
Wei Yan thought for a while and said: "The general will not give up even if he dies!"
Lin Zedao: "You don't have to fight to the death, just do your best. Let me tell you, there is no backup for this battle, but I believe you are a very smart general and know what to do."
Lin Ze stood up and said, "Ziwu, Du Xiao, come with me!"
Lin Ze no longer hid, and neither did the soldiers. The whole city of Shangluo knew that Lin Ze was coming. When Lin Ze went out, the old madam hurried over and said: "Greetings, my consort, you are truly ours." God, why are you here?"
Lin Ze strode out the door and said sternly: "Kneel down!"
The old madam was so frightened that her legs went weak and she hurriedly knelt down, along with the entire group of people returning to Yanlou.
Lin Ze walked out of the door, got on his horse, and said: "Order all troops to assemble in Xiakou!"
Xu Ziwu said: "General Huang Zhong from Beihai, the Tiger Regiment from Yangzhou, Jiangdong..."
Lin Ze turned back to look at Xu Ziwu and said word by word: "I said, all the troops should assemble in Xiakou! Du Xiao, order all the people in our area to lead troops and assemble to me. I want to lecture you!"
Lin Ze rode out of the city and returned south with eight thousand volunteers...
