"Report to Your Majesty, there is indeed a connection between Weichen and the Lord of Sha City. I do not deny this matter, nor will I deny it. However, Your Majesty said that there is a collusion between Weichen and the Lord of Sha City, and I will never admit this matter, because I only contacted the Lord of Sha City just to eliminate the Black Wind Thieves and the Rising Wind Thieves, and it was not a collusion between the two as His Majesty thought.

Your Majesty, it has been less than half a year since Weichen became the general of Huangsha Town. Huangsha Town is more than two thousand miles away from Stormwind City. The Lord of Sha City was very unfamiliar with Weichen before. How could Weichen collude with the Lord of Sha City? Please observe clearly!"

Lin Ze said with neither arrogant nor humility, and his face looked like I was a loyal minister. Your Majesty, you were blinded by a villain. He felt a little depressed in his heart when Emperor Yuanwu was sitting on the throne.

"Hmph, aren't you wearing a pair of pants now? I heard that after you left, you will hand over the guards of Heisha City and Jifeng City to Storm. Doing this will not explain your intimate relationship with Storm?" Emperor Yuanwu was not that easy to fool. His words were sharp and every sentence was heartbreaking.

"Your Majesty is wronged!" Lin Zeheng made up his mind and directly called for grievance.

He had made all the preparations and knew the situation around Yuantai Palace clearly. If he really wanted to tear his face off now, who would be afraid of whom!

Besides, he really doesn't believe that Emperor Yuanwu would tear his face off now, otherwise he would have to do whatever he met him in the Yuantai Palace.

Moreover, Lin Ze also believed that Emperor Yuanwu would not dare to do anything to him now, not to mention anything else. If something happened to him here, he would dare to say that the entire sandbank would immediately become a ranch for sand thieves. Lin Ze's army and the army of Stormwind City would not listen to Emperor Yuanwu. At that time, they would definitely enter the sandbank immediately to threaten the Chu State.

"Your Majesty, I have to hand over Heisha City and Jifeng City to Shatuo's guard. The army of Hushi's army has almost lost when fighting against the Heisha City and Jifeng Thieves, which are nearly 500,000 troops. At this time, if other Sand Thieves attack, the Heisha City and Jifeng City captured by the Beishi will immediately fall into the hands of the Sand Thieves. In this case, it will be meaningless to destroy the Heisha City and Jifeng Thieves. Therefore, for the safety of Heisha City and Jifeng City, Beishi can only hand them to Shatuo's guard for the time being. Anyway, Stormwind City and we are allies now, and I believe Stormwind City will not be so short-sighted."

Lin Zejiu defended the truth and falsely. Shatuo guarded Heisha City, Jifeng City, and Lin Ze's army were seriously damaged. The other sand thieves' idea of ​​fighting Heisha City and Jifeng City is true. The only false thing is that the army of Storm City can be regarded as Lin Ze's army. (In the future, Lin Ze married Storm City, and Storm City was Shaman's dowry, which Shading had decided long ago!)

"Hmph, you admit it!" Emperor Yuanwu snorted, and the records in his intelligence were almost the same.

Neither the Black Wind Thieves nor the Rising Wind Thieves are simple sand thieves. The combined military strength of the two is 500,000. Therefore, Lin Ze said that his army is now suffering heavy losses and cannot protect Heisha City and Rising Wind City. It is indeed true.

In addition, Emperor Yuanwu was very confident in the strength of Chu, so he also believed that the Stormwind City that Lin Ze mentioned would not be misleading himself because of Heisha City and Jifeng City.

"Lin Lixuan, your previous approach was good, but where did you do this to the court and where did I? You two actually gave me the dominance of the two big cities. You never told me before. When just a memorial was finished?" Emperor Yuanwu roared.

Lin Ze only realized why Emperor Yuanwu was so angry before. It turned out that his face was damaged.

"This emperor is too stingy!" Lin Ze muttered in his heart.

Lin Ze was a little surprised when he saw the appearance of Emperor Yuanwu Zizhu Bijiao. However, he did not know that Emperor Yuanwu had been angry in the morning court before. When he thought of this, he was furious.

"Your Majesty, have you returned to the capital under the imperial edict?" Lin Ze smiled cunningly.

Didn’t you say that we were granting and receiving privately? But I received your imperial edict and returned to Beijing to receive the title. In this case, how could we still give privately to receiving privately?!

"Yeah!" Emperor Yuanwu was immediately angry at Lin Ze's words. His face turned from white to red, then turned red to purple. His last breath was directly stuck in his chest, and he couldn't help but cough violently inside his mouth.

The eunuch Huang He, who was beside him, hurried forward at this time and gently patted Emperor Yuanwu's back.

After coughing for a while, Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao finally got angry. He looked at Lin Ze, who was standing innocently, and remembered his original intention before, and his mentality gradually calmed down.

"Lin Lixuan, you are really brave!" Emperor Yuanwu said slowly, "But I don't want to pursue these things anymore today. Lin Lixuan, I just want to know whether you can bear the heavy responsibility of Shibasha City?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao sighed with a little desolate heart.

The vast Chu, north and south, east and west, spanned tens of thousands of miles, millions of soldiers and countless officials, was supposed to be the supreme emperor, but now, seeing that the country's power has gradually escaped from its control and the power has begun to fall. Even if Emperor Yuanwu wanted to reorganize the imperial power, he was still willing but not enough.

What is the saying that the world is the king's land, the shores of the land, the king's ministers, the ministers and his good princes are all brilliant and colorful. In fact, in private, they all act in private, use public instruments to do private affairs, and even harm the country and enrich themselves. They have reached the point of being unscrupulous. Looking at the world, I really don’t know how many people there are worthy of his trust.

Is Lin Lixuan in front of me worth the huge effort he has spent on him?

Emperor Yuanwu silently looked at Lin Ze who was standing respectfully below. Seeing him looking at him across the big case, he could not see any fear and anxiety about him. He was not like a young man who had just grown up, but just like the old foxes in the court. Thinking about this, Emperor Yuanwu couldn't help but feel upset.

"Forget it, Lin Lixuan is the only person who can break the deadlock until now, so I don't want to be demanding!" Emperor Yuanwu made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean just now?" Lin Ze asked in his heart.

"Lin Lixuan, how many years do you need to take control of Heisha City to fight all the sand thieves, get all the territory of Shibasha City for me, and expand the territory of my Great Chu?"

"Ten years!" Lin Ze blurted out without hesitation.

In fact, Lin Ze’s real years were five years, and ten years were just to alleviate the suspicion of Emperor Yuanwu.

The real area of ​​Shibasha City is larger than that of both sandbanks. It was a place of such a large size in just five years. Yan Hao would definitely not be able to sleep after knowing this strong ability.

In this way, Yan Hao is 100% responsible for dealing with Lin Ze.

"Ten years?" Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao was slightly stunned, and at the same time, his heart was inexplicably relieved. Then he suddenly burst out with a burst of laughter and said sarcastically: "Lin Aiqing, many generals said such words back then, such as ensuring that all the threats of sand thieves were pacified in ten, fifteen or twenty years. However, in the end, I still suffered great defeats for me and the previous late emperors, and even some generals died directly at the hands of sand thieves. So, Lin Lixian, are you still arrogant? What qualifications do you have to say such words!"

Lin Ze stared at Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao calmly, and after he finished speaking, he said: "Your Majesty, I am either those generals, I am either me, and I have captured Heisha City and Jifeng City in less than a month!"

Lin Ze's words made Emperor Yan Hao's laughter suddenly come. Only then did he remember that the Black Wind Thieves and the Rising Wind Thieves were silently defeated by this man.

"And, Your Majesty, what I want is not to just defeat those sand thieves, but to completely pacify the Eighteen Sand City, eliminate all the sand thieves, and let the threat of the Sand City to our Great Chu become history. I will definitely include the territory of the Eighteen Sand City into the territory of the Great Chu for the Emperor." Lin Ze said confidently without changing his face.

As if this was fulfilled, he was just telling the truth.

Looking at Lin Ze who was full of confidence, Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao above looked silent.

He looked at Lin Ze carefully again, and confirmed that the other party was not crazy, but was indeed talking to him seriously. Thinking about this, Emperor Yuanwu felt a little anxious to laugh again.

Because, the Great Chu and the Sand Thieves had fought for hundreds of years before, and from the beginning to now, they had never completely conquered this group of thieves on the horse's back, and even the founding emperor of Chu did not do this.

The Great Chu and the Sha Thief Group have won and lost each other for hundreds of years. The Great Chu has gone deep into the Eighteen Sha City. When the Sha Thief Group was strong, it also occupied some towns in the Chu State, and neither side had the ability to completely defeat it.

In addition, other surrounding countries will not sit idly by and watch the Chu State truly occupy the Shibasha City. Once the Shibasha City is in danger of being occupied by the Chu State, other countries will definitely send troops secretly.

The regular army of their country was directly pretended to be a sand thief group and attacked. This kind of thing has happened many times in the past few hundred years. Even the State of Chu did not do such a thing less than ten times. Therefore, Emperor Yuanwu never thought about it, nor did he dare to think about completely conquering all sand thiefs.
