Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 67 I heard that the Queen still has her charm~
"No one cuts down the trees here?"

"No one is catching the beasts here?"

The forest path is lush and green, and everywhere you look are woods and grass full of spring.

Clear and clean streams and rivers meander through it.

The deer, with their eyes wide open, peeked out from among the trees.

Fat rabbits roam back and forth among the bushes and grass.

Birds stand on the branches, and their chirping sounds are endless.

Standing on the official road, Lin Dao looked at the trees and animals in front of him, then turned and looked back at the other side of the road, the empty and desolate wilderness.

In silence, he lowered his head and stepped on the official road.

After a moment, Lin Dao's face showed a hint of a smile. "Such different living environments, the division is so obvious."

"It's impossible to do it with just an official road. You have to get rid of the word 'Tao' to have this ability."

The bark of the trees in the disaster-stricken areas had been eaten away, and the survivors had begun to eat dirt.

But near the capital Yecheng, there is such a vast area with abundant animals and plants, which is like a paradise.

Lin Dao didn't believe that this would be a natural choice.

"Master Lang."

Sun Rong, who had been by his side almost constantly for the past two days, stepped forward and said, "The Stone Bandit loves hunting and once built a thousand hunting chariots."

"From here to Luoyang, all places along the way are designated as royal hunting grounds."

"We have appointed an animal censor to inspect and care for the animals in the hunting grounds."

"Anyone who trespasses into a hunting ground will be punished by having their legs amputated."

"Anyone who harms animals will be beheaded."

Lin Dao stamped his feet and said, "With such a large hunting ground, I think we can hunt down a million pounds of meat."

"Countless civilians died of starvation, lying on the roadside."

"These beasts, on the other hand, are relaxed and comfortable, leading a happy life."

"When beasts rule, humans are inferior to beasts." Lin Dao raised his head and smiled. "If Shi Hu has a good end, then my trip would be in vain~~~"

In history, Shi Hu killed countless people and caused endless harm.

His crimes are absolutely innumerable.

But he still had a good end.

Even before he died of illness, he was officially crowned emperor. Death as an emperor is called "collapse".

From this we can see that the idea of ​​good and evil being rewarded is all nonsense he made up.

Since Lin Dao was chosen by Green Light, he was sent to Yonghe Time and Space.

By reselling gold and other materials in Yonghe Time and Space, he changed his destiny and future.

He is a person with normal values.

Having benefited from Yonghe Time and Space, I am willing to do what I can for this world.

This is due to personality, and has nothing to do with whether you are a saint or not.

The fate of the people in Yonghe time and space was tragic, and at least half of the reason was due to the cruel and harmful Shi Hu.

Since that’s the case, Lin Dao will never let that beast Shi Hu have a good end!
"These hunting grounds."

Lin Dao stared at the leisurely beasts in the hunting grounds. "They were all raised by the Stone Thieves. What a sin!"

"All the beasts here should be put into the pot!"

The beggar army is a group that exists for the purpose of survival.

In order to survive, they will even eat away all the bark.

Animals with meat on their bodies are a godsend and a great tonic.

A large number of refugees and savages who had recently joined the Beggar Army broke into the royal hunting grounds that they had not dared to approach in the past.

They cut down trees for fuel and captured all kinds of animals for food.

Those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, run on the ground, and even burrow into the soil.

Once caught, everyone will suffer the same fate.

Put it in a pot, add water and sprinkle some salt, and it will be the most delicious food in the world.

"Master Lang."

Sun Dalang came to report that "the refugees and barbarians killed many beasts, the censors."

"Zookeeper?" Lin Dao pondered. "Have these people ever done anything evil?"

"According to the stories told by the refugees and barbarians, these beastly censors often falsely accuse the people of harming the animals in the hunting grounds."

"They forced the people to hand over their wives, livestock, and property."

"Those who refuse to do so will be punished with death for the crime of harming animals."

Lin Dao pursed his lips and said, "What kind of emperor you have, what kind of officials you have."

"Shi Hu is a beast, and the imperial censor he keeps is also a beast."

"Arrange personnel to capture these beastly censors and hand them over alive to the refugees and barbarians for disposal."

"Tell them that since they are beastly censors, they should be treated like beasts."

Sun Dalang lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

The various units of the Qihuo Army gradually approached Yecheng.

Lin Dao, the beggar general, had no idea how many people he had under his command.

Second, I don’t know how much money and food I have.

As for the population, as long as they are not barbarians and are willing to work for the beggar general, they can join in and get two potatoes to eat every day.

Not just those who joined along the way.

As the news spread, the number of people from all over the states, counties and prefectures who came to seek refuge, or to make a living, increased rapidly every day.

The specific number is changing all the time and it is difficult to count in detail.

As for money and food, Lin Dao was only responsible for transporting all kinds of supplies.

Rice and flour were usually given as rewards, and only his personal guards could eat ordinary meals.

The main food for regular soldiers was corn, while the local soldiers and laborers ate feed.

The newly arrived refugees and savages survive on potatoes.

After the hunting grounds were opened in Lindao, everyone could go in and have a bite to eat.

Whether they could eat meat depended entirely on their own ability. How to arrange and distribute the troops in the army, how to settle the people, how to march, how to set up camp, etc.

Wang Meng does everything.

Lin Dao became a hands-off boss, only responsible for transporting goods and collecting valuable materials.

Wang Meng is indeed a tough guy.

Hundreds of thousands of beggars, most of whom were refugees, savages, the elderly, the weak, women and children, were properly arranged by him and gradually gathered outside Yecheng.

On this day, Lin Dao was in the camp, supervising the craftsmen dismantling Shi Hu's golden chariot.

All the gold ornaments on the chariot were removed, melted and cast into gold bars.

"Master Lang."

Wang Meng came in person to report, "The messenger from the Stone Bandits has arrived."

He smiled broadly, "Sending an envoy at this time is probably to ask for peace."

"Ask for peace?" Lin Dao cleared his throat. "Does he think I'll agree to it at this time?"

"Then" Wang Meng raised his head slightly "Do you want to see it?"

"Then let's meet the envoy." Lin Dao stepped forward and said, "See if this Heavenly King has anything else to say."

Shi Hu wanted to seek peace, but it was a helpless move.

Later Zhao was actually a patchwork country.

The Han people, Jie people, Xiongnu people, Qiang people, Di people and even many mixed Hu people who could not explain their own heritage, pieced together to form such a scattered country.

In the past, Shi Hu relied on military power and cruel means to rule the country.

But when the cornerstone of suppressing each department, the tyrannical force loses its effect, the complete collapse of the bulk will not be far away.

This was basically the case with the countries established by the barbarians during the Jin Dynasty.

Shi Hu calmed down and knew that the most important thing now was not to fight to the death with the Qihuo Army.

The most important thing is to stabilize the Great Zhao, whose foundation has collapsed.

If we want to stabilize the Great Zhao, the first thing we need to do is to eliminate the military threat posed by the Qihuo Army.

"Li Sikong."

Seeing the envoy, Lin Dao immediately smiled and said, "We meet again."

Li Nong stepped forward and saluted, "Foreign minister Li Nong, greetings to General Qihuo."

Both sides took their seats, and Jinlian brought people to serve canned yellow peaches.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Lin Dao went straight to the point: "Why did Li Sikong come this time?"

"Handsome~"

Li Nong stood up and saluted. "The Heavenly King intends to reconcile with the Qihuo Army."

"As long as the Marshal is willing to withdraw his troops, the Heavenly King is willing to enthrone him as the King of Yan, and all the land of Youzhou will belong to him."

"The Heavenly King wishes to become brothers with the Marshal. From now on, the two brothers will share the power of the Great Zhao."

Lin Dao didn't say anything. He supported his knees with his hands and looked at Wang Meng.

"Hahahaha~~~"

Wang Meng stroked his beard and laughed, "Stone Thief, this is really a good calculation."

"Youzhou was nearly taken over by the Xianbei Murong clan."

"What King of Yan? He's just trying to trick my Master into fighting against the Murong clan."

Wang Meng picked up the can of honey water on the table and drank it. He shook his head and said, "Shi Hu is just a lowly slave, but my husband is a god!"

"How dare he hope to be on friendly terms with my Master?"

"If Li Sikong came here just for this matter." Wang Meng placed the can of yellow peaches on the table and made a crisp sound. "Then please go back!"

After hearing these words, Li Nong suddenly laughed.

He smiled as if relieved, his face gradually turning red. "I knew before I came here that this would not work."

"It's not impossible." Lin Dao cheered up and said with a smile, "I heard that Shi Hu's queen still has her charm."

"How about this, you ask Shi Hu to send the queen over first, and I can think about this matter again."

Li Nong's face suddenly turned red.

This kind of humiliation is really speechless.

He stood up with a grim face and said goodbye.

Wang Meng smiled and stroked his beard, "My Lord, you have a lot of the legacy of Wei Wu~"

Yecheng, Xianyang Palace.

After listening to Li Nong's report, Shi Hu, with his eyes narrowed, did not get angry.

He even laughed at it.

It's that face full of fat that looks a little sinister when he smiles.

"I never thought that even at Liu's age, there would still be people who care about her."

"Lin Dao, he's so proud of himself that he gets carried away. Does he really think that owning a magic car will make him invincible?"

Li Nong hung his head in silence, thinking, "If we can't deal with that divine chariot, we won't be able to fight in the field. If we can't fight in the field, then the Great Zhao will soon be destroyed."

When large troops fight in the field, formation is the most important thing.

Once the formation is broken, they will become scattered soldiers and have no combat effectiveness.

Faced with the beggar army coming in formation, even the bravest warriors will have no choice but to die.

The Later Zhao army was already a mixed bag of factions and lacked unity.

Without morale and formation, who would still listen to the king!
"I already have a plan to deal with the divine chariot."

Shi Hu's words made Li Nong look up in surprise.

real or fake?

"Although the divine chariot is huge, it is driven by wheels."

Shi Hu's face was full of vitality, as if spring had revived. "I have already ordered the craftsmen to make angle iron."

"When we fight tomorrow, order the warriors to throw angle irons in front of the wheels to stop them from moving forward."

"As long as the divine chariot stops, it will become just a giant, motionless object."

"I have ordered people to collect the kerosene, sulfur and other materials in the city." Shi Hu gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his leg. "Once the divine chariot stops, I will order the soldiers to rush forward and throw kerosene and sulfur to ignite it!"

"Even if it's made of steel and iron, it will be burned to ashes!"
