Yang Lin stacked all the spongy silk together and put them into his own pocket. As if nothing had happened, he continued to watch the various large teams of soldiers pick. The sixteen thousand odd Wu Huan soldiers were all clustered together, divided evenly between each squad. Each team of Commander was like picking their own animals, carefully selecting their own soldiers they liked.
However, it was difficult for Yang Lin to calm down in his heart, and his thoughts had long flown outside the camp. Although he had prepared himself for this, he still felt a deep sense of sorrow at the end of the day. He even started to sympathize with Dong Zhuo a little. After thousands of years of being scolded at by everyone, who would put themselves in Dong Zhuo's shoes?
The Generals continued to select soldiers, but Yang Lin was not in the mood to continue watching. He stood up, mounted his horse, and ran out of the camp. Under the gentle sunlight, Yang Lin galloped his horse across the plains, temporarily forgetting the worries of the world.
After a few days of spring rain, the grass in the wilderness was growing very fast, and the flowers all over the place were fragrant. Horses flew across the grass, flocks of butterflies dancing in the wind. A few birds soared from the grass and circled in the air, singing.
Finally, Yang Lin stopped at a tall slope, and the janissaries followed from afar. Only the Zhang Banxian ran over. He looked at Yang Lin, his eyes filled with resentment. ”Lord General, you have been doing great deeds since the ancient times, so you need not be too worried. When a sovereign sees an official as a brother, the subject as a heart; when a sovereign sees a subject as a dog or a horse, the subject as a passerby; when a sovereign sees a subject as a dirt, the subject as a foe. ”
Zhang Banxian turned around, looked at the vast plains, and faintly said: ”Hanling Emperor is ungrateful and ungrateful, and has caused chaos for a long time. Now that he was dead, there was no need for the Lord General to follow his orders. Otherwise, Lord General would be in danger! The soldiers and strategists were in danger! Even if Lord General does not think for himself, he should think for his brothers who have followed you for many years. You cannot push your brothers into a pit of fire! ”
”What should I do?” Yang Lin looked into the distance and said indifferently.
”I have three suggestions, one for the upper, one for the middle and one for the lower. They can be used by the Lord General.” The Zhang Banxian paused for a moment, then said solemnly: ”The Lord General has over a hundred thousand elite riders, a single wave of his hand can sweep the world, and change dynasties. This is the best plan. Now that Zhang Chun had calmed down, and had needed a large number of rebel captives to be settled, the Lord General had personally led the troops into the desert, letting the eunuchs who were giving out the orders wait in the Youzhou. This was the plan. If you follow the will of the Spirit Emperor and hand over the military power, then forget about all the soldiers and The people of the world.
Yang Lin laughed, then said indifferently: ”Wielding a master to the south, sweeping away everything in the world, it seems straightforward, but in fact, it's just a plan. The big man had lived for four hundred years, and even though he was very weak today, the people of the world were still keen on him. Although martial power could conquer the world, resistance was fierce. The Chinese are not the Barbarian, they cannot be conquered by just killing, and I do not want to slaughter my own people. The Qin was strong, and relied on violence to conquer the six countries. However, it incited the citizens to resist, and only ten years after reunification, it was overthrown. ”
”As for obeying my last will and gaining a false name, that is even more out of my style.” Yang Lin shook his head, and said coldly: ”Right now, the world is in chaos, the people do not live in peace, could it be that this is only the personal fault of the Spirit Emperor? This was caused by taking the heaven and earth as private property, taking tens of thousands of people as private property, and ruining the emperor system which was extremely inhumane and inhumane. The emperor system is the source of all evil. As the representative of the autocracy, the emperor is essentially a single husband, a common thief. Thieves still felt a little guilty after killing someone for their goods. They felt that they were committing a crime. The Emperor, on the other hand, took slavery and the massacre of the people for granted and remained calm and collected. Over time, the Emperor became more and more arrogant and unrestrained. The people have been oppressed for a long time, and have been submissive to it. They have developed a servility, being cautious and timid. So repeated, vicious circle, has become the general source of ignorance, poverty, backwardness of the people. ”
Furthermore, Liu Hong was now dead, and the world was about to turn into chaos. Yang Lin would never hand over the military power in his hands, and become a lamb for anyone to slaughter. However, he didn't want to bear the responsibility of being a traitor. He didn't want to be criticized by his descendants.
”As for the plan you mentioned, it's worth considering.” Yang Lin nodded his head, and said thoughtfully: ”However, merely dodging is not enough, we should still take the initiative. Immediately order Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Fei Hong and Liang Ming to go to Luoyang, and let them first report the news to Luoyang, and secondly, look for Zhang Jean and He Jin to do some activities. ”
”Lord General, it's better if I go there myself.” Zhang Banxian laughed and volunteered, ”Other than news and activities, Lord General should also congratulate Xinjun on her accession to the throne. This is the perfect opportunity for me to meet with the ministers of the imperial government and decide what to do next. ”
Yang Lin thought for a while, then nodded his head and said: ”It's good for you to go there. However, you cannot stay in Luoyang for too long. If my judgement is correct, there might be a great upheaval in Luoyang. ”
”Oh …” Will there be a great upheaval in the Luoyang? ” Zhang Banxian turned around and asked in surprise.
”Yes. New Emperor is still young, so we cannot take matters into our own hands. Yang Lin nodded his head and said affirmatively: ”After you guys go, regardless of whether it is successful or not, you have to return early. At the same time, you have to withdraw the Luoyang's contact point, in case there is a fire at the city gate.
”Thank you Lord General for your concern.” Zhang Banxian laughed, a sinister smile appearing on his face: ”Since Luoyang is in trouble, I should stay in Luoyang. If the eunuchs and the foreigners compete for power, they will need the Lord General more. Maybe we can even get more benefits from it. ”
”Now is not the time to think about benefits. We must lower ourselves, as long as we save the army and the Youzhou.” Yang Lin shook his head, and said with certainty: ”As long as we reach the second half of this year, we can speak with our true strength.”
