Lin Ze simply ate something, while Ma Yunlu was playing the piano, still playing some heart-warming music.
Lin Ze went out and saw Zhang Liao crying, walked to him and sat down, putting his hand on her shoulder.
Zhang Liao wiped his tears and said: "My lord, I have learned martial arts since I was a child. I wanted to serve the country. I saw the Shi Chang Shi rebellious, saw the Yellow Turban Army rebellious, saw Dong Zhuo revolted, the people were displaced, and saw Cao Cao in Xuzhou bringing countless people After driving down Surabaya, there was a bloody battle, and 400,000 people were just wiped out. Lord, what do you think is happening to this world?"
Zhang Liao was really a good man of flesh and blood. Lin Ze asked Du Xiao to bring the jug. The smell of plum wine always made Lin Ze feel at ease.
Zhang Liao drank half the pot in one breath.
Lin Ze stayed with him for half a pot and said: "I was confused at first. What are they fighting for? There is a loving mother at home with Xiao Xiao and white hair, the distant look in the spring girl's dream, and the cry of the pheasant and young girl, but they can't be attracted. ? The fights come and go, but it’s just smoke and dust along the way, scattered by wind and clouds, indistinct and indistinct. We are both citizens of the Han Dynasty. We are born from the same roots, so why be too anxious?
After typing, I got the answer. The Taishi Gongshu made a prophecy, the world is bustling, everyone comes for profit, the world is bustling, everyone goes for profit.
Do you know why in the world today, only I, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce are the most conspicuous? Needless to say, Sun Ce was too strong. Cao Cao seemed to be a traitor to the Han Dynasty, but in fact he was trying to save the world. He just wore the cloak of a traitor and had sharp methods because he felt deep down that in troubled times, heavy codes should be used. But they don’t know that we are fish and the people are water. Fish can live only if there is water. The reason why we are strong is because we have a close relationship with our people. Now we are monsters in the eyes of the heroes of the world. They are afraid that we will steal their women, their land, and their money and food. "
Zhang Liao raised his head, looked at Lin Ze, and said, "So, we have to fight for the people!"
Lin Ze sighed and said: "Yes, we have ideals. It is not for territory, nor for fame and fortune, but for the purpose of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and making the world surrender. This is our responsibility of the times."
Zhang Liao wiped away his tears and said: "So, will there be such a bloody battle in the future?"
Lin Ze nodded and said: "The battle in Qu'a Plain is just the beginning, but soldiers only have two tasks, fighting and preparing for war. If we don't do it, how can we let our people do it?"
Lin Ze's words made Zhang Liao suddenly enlightened, and his heart became clear. They fought and killed the enemy for the sake of the people of the world. Since he defected to Guo Jia, Zhang Liao had no combat mission and just wandered around the land controlled by Lin Ze. If If it weren't for the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the front line, how could the people be so happy?
After draining the last drop of wine from the flask, Lin Ze stood up and said: "My enlightenment mentor has a poem, General Wenyuan, listen to it, for the sake of sacrifice, he dares to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky. I like it. Thousands of waves of rice are flying, and heroes everywhere are setting off the sunset smoke."
Zhang Liao looked at Lin Ze's back with a firm belief in his heart. His lord was not old, but his eyes were so penetrating.
Good rain knows the season and moistens things silently.
The light rain pattered on the young bamboo shoots, which were green and full of vitality. This scene made Lin Ze feel less depressed.
Lin Ze just sat casually in the rain, watching the bamboo leaves swaying with the raindrops, his thoughts floating around, and he didn't even notice Ma Yunlu holding an umbrella for him.
From time traveling to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was like a plowing cow, sparing no effort to do something for this era, building Yueyang Village, forming an alliance with jujube to kill the enemy, destroying Yuan Shu, killing Dong Zhuo, conquering Jingzhou, and pacifying Guanzhong.
As long as you want to do something, you can always do it even if you pay some price. I have never paid such a huge sacrifice.
He felt great pressure, and he carried out the Salt and Iron Policy, developing gunpowder, making sniper crossbows, mortars, and grenades. Logically speaking, these are all black technologies of this era, but when it came to fighting, there was no immediate effect. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the heroes in the world increases with their own strength, and their abilities also increase.
The sacrifice of 200,000 horses, Zhou Yu's sorcery that rained fire that day, everything made him feel that this world has never been what he wanted to do, but now he just faced Zhou Yu and Cao Cao There hasn’t been a large-scale battle yet, so Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were born? Is Sima Yi born? Can I still be so at ease?
You can't stop, you can't mess around, you can't think that you are a fool with two thousand years of development in your head, and you can't look down on anyone. The power and wisdom of the ancients are far beyond what modern people can pry into. Damn it, no matter what. Who would rather be able to understand smoothbore cannon technology and build a Hongyi cannon?
Clouds can roar and burst into flames, who would have thought?
Zhou Yu's Jiangdong soldiers dared to fight against his 200,000 troops even if they were defeated. Who would have thought?
Lin Ze knew that this war was just a new beginning for the general trend of the world. He was already riding a tiger and was unable to dismount. He could only lead the army and continue to move forward in this troubled world.
While Lin Ze was thinking about it, Wei Yan strode forward, took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, met with Ma Yunlu who was following Lin Ze, and said, "My lord is injured, why are you in the rain?"
Lin Zedao: "My brain is not working well. I am sober in the rain. We occupy Lujiang. What is the attitude of the people in Lujiang?"
Wei Yandao: "Every household is afraid to go out. They regard us as jackals, tigers and leopards. They don't dare to disobey us, but they will not give us anything. We will eventually find out that Zhou Yu's parents live in Shu County. Zhou Yu's parents live in Shu County." We have a huge family, Lord, do you want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"
"That's not necessary. I just tell the people north of the Yangtze River to be honest so that they can coexist. If anyone dares to make any move, I will massacre the city and bury my soldiers with them." Lin Ze spoke calmly, with a smile on his face. With a smile on his face, he said: "Back then, Cao Cao slaughtered the city of Xuzhou and drove over 100,000 people into Surabaya. The river stopped flowing. At first, I thought Cao Cao was cruel. But now I know that when people are angry, they will do anything." Gotta come out!”
Wei Yan's heart trembled when he heard Lin Ze's words, and said: "Master, there is no need, just destroy the Sun family and the Zhou family."
"It's a joke, don't worry. The sun and the moon shine on all Han people, and the people are all compatriots. A ruler cannot express his anger, but he cannot help but suppress him!" Lin Ze said: "Du Xiao, please pass on my message to the north of the Yangtze River. Those who obey me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!"
After Du Xiao left, Xu Mao came with a group of deputy generals. After experiencing such a battle, Lin Ze felt that everyone around him had grown up. Although Xu Mao was very young, he already had the aura to dominate. A marshal with millions of soldiers talks less.
After Xu Mao met with Lin Ze, he inspected the place where Lin Ze lived and ordered the soldiers to repair it. The girls of the Yueying Group still lived in tents. He ordered the soldiers to build a bamboo building big enough for a hundred people.
Waiting until Guo Jia arrived, Xu Maocai sat in front of Lin Ze and discussed the defense north of the Yangtze River.
Guo Jia's health is getting worse and worse. He needs a place with a warm climate to maintain his health. This bamboo forest in Lujiang River is the best place.
In the pavilion, new tea was brewed over a low fire. The Chinese tea ceremony had its roots before the Tang Dynasty. Lin Ze couldn't stand the taste of boiled tea that tasted like chicken soup. He found some tea trees and took several ladies to pick the tea, dry it in the sun, fry the tea, and steam the tea. , got some jasmine double rings.
The fragrance of tea overflows in the pavilion.
Lin Ze taught Guo Jia how to drink tea. He enjoyed this feeling very much, but Xu Mao thought that drinking water was not so troublesome.
Lin Ze said: "You are just Zhu Bajie who eats ginseng fruit, but you can't taste it."
Xu Mao scratched his head and said, "Who is Zhu Bajie?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord has just written a novel about gods and demons called Journey to the West. Read it when you have time."
Speaking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask: "Why did my lord let the monkey be crushed under the Five Elements Mountain? Why not just let him rebel against the Heavenly Palace."
Lin Zedao: "Power needs to be controlled. If you have the ability, you can do whatever you want. There will inevitably be a few more people like Liu Chong in the world. Wouldn't it be a mess? There must be rules and laws in the world. Laws cannot control people. To this extent, you have to control people without being extremely evil. Whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil, there will always be more evil people than good people in the world."
Guo Jiashen nodded in agreement and said: "Lujiang County and Jichun County are cities south of the Yangtze River. They need to place county guards. Does the lord have anyone in mind?"
Lin Ze said softly: "The candidate must be decided by Feng Xiao. If there is no suitable candidate, I will come in person. Qu'acheng still needs to be built, or the road from Yangzhou to Lujiang is far away, and there is always a feeling that it is beyond our reach."
Guo Jia was thoughtful and said, "Where are the people migrating?"
"The people of Yueyang Village. Yueyang Village originally had a population of 600,000. Over the years, the people have spread out and there are almost two million people. If one million people are divided, it will either be too crowded and there will not be enough land for farming. .”
Guo Jiadao: "Okay, I will repair the book for Mr. Zibu tonight. Lord, the north of the Yangtze River is already in our hands. How to control Jiangdong next?"
Lin Ze put the drawings he had drawn on the table and said: "Our warships are all in the Huaihe River. When will the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers be repaired and the warships can be transported? When will we fight again? The main thing now is to think about There are ways to limit the development of Jiangdong."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "This is the best policy. What about Cao Cao in the north? Xuzhou is like a knife hanging above our heads. We always have trouble sleeping."
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said: "Let the Langya Army move to Yangzhou and let Ma Wu put some pressure on Xuzhou first. General Huang Zhong's Chinese army has to be formed and let him go to Ruyang and put pressure on Xuchang in Runan. "
The map of the Han Dynasty has been reflected in Guo Jia's mind. After Lin Ze finished speaking, he knew that the current troop formation was the most ideal, but there was still a very important question. He said: "Lord, let's take the next step." What are the strategic goals?”
Wei Yan said: "My lord, military advisor, do we want to beat Liu Zhang in Yizhou?"
Guo Jiadao: "This is not the best policy. Although Jingzhou is our land, it has not been completely naturalized. Zhao Qi and Fazheng from Guanzhong have not yet captured Hanzhong. The terrain of Yizhou is dangerous and difficult to fight."
Lin Ze nodded and said, "Let's wait and see. Our current strategy is to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Sun Ce and continue to consolidate our territory. For the rest, let's see how the world changes!"
At this point, a female warrior from the Yueying Regiment came and said, "My lord, Cao Cao has sent an envoy."
Lin Ze said happily: "It's really interesting to say that Cao Cao has arrived. Who is it? Xun Yu or Cheng Yu?"
The female warrior said: "It's Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang. He said he brought a gift to him. It's Cao Cao's heart and soul."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Please come over and see what medicine Meng De sells in his gourd..."
