Yan Zi slowly raised her head, her pale face was covered with sweat and mud. She looked at Zhuang Ya in front of her and smiled bitterly: "At this time, where did the old man ask me to get evidence? The appearance of the God of War God Sword has been seen every day since I started, so I will never misunderstand it. There is a copy of the magic sword in the tribute hall of my master. Therefore, I can see at a glance that the first rule of the sect of my master is: Those who hold the magic sword must be the head of the Golden God of War Temple."

"Golden War Temple!" When Yan Zi said this, Li Ming couldn't help but scream. Chen Tu wrote in the package he gave him that manuscript was going to hand over to the Golden War Temple. However, Li Ming asked around and didn't know where the specific location of the Golden War Temple was. Unexpectedly, from the mouth of the female assassin Yan Zi in front of him, he actually said the place that Li Ming had been looking for. How could he not surprise him?

"You just mentioned the Golden War Temple, which made me less suspicious of your identity. Now I ask you, where is the Golden War Temple?" Li Ming's scream attracted everyone's eyes to him. Seeing Yan Zi looking at him, he hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask.

Swallow climbed forward a few steps on the ground, and was blocked by Zhuang Ya when approaching Li Ming. In desperation, she trembled with her lips and whispered: "Report to the head, the location of the Golden War Temple is very secret. Except for those of us, no one else can know."

Li Ming showed a sneer on his lips, interrupting Yanzi's words, and said firmly: "Don't worry about this. All of them are my confidants. They will never reveal any news. Now that you say I am your head, you should not refuse me, tell me where is the Golden War Temple?"

Swallow trembled with pale lips and hesitated for a long time before he whispered under the pressure of Li Ming's sharp eyes: "According to the master, the original Golden War Temple has been burned down. The current God of War Temple was established by the third generation descendants of the Golden War God. It is located not far from the old site. The original Golden War Temple was built in a valley more than 100 miles away from Dubi Peak. Because the Golden War God had many enemies during his lifetime, in order to prevent the descendants of these enemies from discovering the new temple, the new site was not chosen in the original site, but was built in a canyon more than 30 miles away from the original site. The mountain was steep and rarely visited, so no one can find it yet. If the head of the sect wants to go, Swallow can lead the way for you."

Looking at the pious expression on Yan Zi's face, Li Ming couldn't help but sneer. He couldn't believe Yan Zi's words at all. Who knows if Yan Zi was going to lead him to his killer's nest? For a promise, he rashly stepped into Yan Zi's trap. This is not Li Ming's current style. The manuscript of the Golden God of War must be sent back. However, he must have enough strength and enough experts around him to take risks with Yan Zi. Now, let's put this problem aside. When the time is ripe, he will naturally go to the Temple of War God. He has an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the Golden God of War, so he will not put this matter aside.

Li Ming was not able to destroy her martial arts skills for the swallow in front of him. From her words, it can be seen that he had more or less related to the Golden God of War. Helplessly, he had no choice but to send three personal guards to guard her again.

After dealing with the matter of swallows, Li Ming took a short rest in the room and visited Zhang Hong and Ma Linwei from Yongcui Villa. Li Ming had a very tight time and had to hurry up and finish his private affairs every quarter of an hour. If an old friend wanted to see him, he would inevitably have to greet him. This delay was when the sun set again. After enjoying Xinglin Drunk in Yongcui Villa again, Li Ming returned to the prefect's mansion with a slightly drunkenness.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, after a night of rest, Li Ming, who was energetic, summoned all the senior officials under him in the lobby of the prefect's mansion.

"This time, the main purpose of sending troops was to open up Mingyang City, so there was no military conquest for Li Jiao's other places. Now, the place we occupied has formed a long channel, causing great defense difficulties. On this channel, we have no strategic depth. Once it is cut off by Li Jiao's troops, it may be captured by him in segments. Therefore, we must take advantage of Li Jiao's failure to expand the results of our strategic depth as much as possible, and consolidate our combat results in Zhongzhou. At present, we still have 40,000 heavy infantry, 40,000 heavy armored cavalry and more than 50,000 Rangers, and there are three more.

Wantuo cavalry and 5,000 musketeers, this force swept across the entire Zhongzhou. However, we do not have the corresponding guardian force. Every time we capture a city, we must leave a corresponding defensive force. In this way, our troops will become less and less. Therefore, in the past two days, the people in your command will need to hurry up and collect reserve forces. Now we have no problem with logistics transportation, so the reserve forces must first be selected from the logistics force. We can use these people. After such a long battle, we can go to the battlefield with a little training. We will temporarily recruit 200,000 people."

"While the commander recruits new recruits, our combat troops will set out to expand our advantages. I ordered Cao Bao's first army and Zhuo Junhao's third army to form the Western Route Army, with Cao Bao as the commander of the Western Route Army. Departing this afternoon, sweep across the western area of ​​our occupied area. All the cities along the way must be occupied and all the enemy troops must be eliminated. Wang Wen's second army and Leng Hen's fourth army form the Eastern Route Army, and the mission is the same as the Western Route Army. Wang Wen serves as the commander of the Eastern Route Army. Remember, you only need to attack the enemy's troops and occupy the enemy's cities. As for the aftermath, I will send new soldiers to receive them. We must eliminate Li Jiao's remaining armed forces in detail.

If possible, Wang Wen's Eastern Army can attack Qianye City, but Qianye City should not touch it easily. It is Li Jiao's nest, with more than 300,000 elite soldiers stationed in the area of ​​Qianye City, and there are nearly 500,000 local troops around. Although the soldiers in Qianye City have also suffered a lot this time, you 100,000 people still cannot eat them. I have so much request. Finally, I will say, try to minimize casualties. Okay, you all go back and prepare for it, and will send troops officially this afternoon." Speaking of this, Li Ming stood up and swept to everyone present with encouragement. He has been giving orders frequently during this period, and Li Ming couldn't help but have a trace of the power of a king.

"Abide by the order!" The officials and generals present agreed in an orderly manner, and then hurriedly dispersed. Just two days after capturing Ming Yangcheng, Li Ming's army was about to set off again.

The four commanders Cao Bao, Wang Wen, Zhuo Junhao and Leng Hen were deeply influenced by Li Ming's tactics. In addition, they had experienced many wars, so Li Ming was still very relieved about them. After destroying Li Jiao's main army in Zhongzhou, the remaining remaining troops could no longer pose any threat to his troops. Therefore, Li Ming was preparing to sit in Mingyangcheng, coordinate well, and prepare for the management issues in Zhongzhou and Zezhou areas.

Zhongzhou area is Li Jiao's fiefdom, so it is not as easy to manage as Jiang and Huzhou. The foundation of the Medical God Cult here is very poor. Under Li Jiao's full-scale arrest, the organization of the Medical God Cult is very weak. Although Li Ming's reputation in Yangcheng, his influence is too small in other parts of Zhongzhou. It is unrealistic to imagine that Jiang and Huzhou are like management. Therefore, some civil officials still need to keep a group, and Gao Weibu is by his side, so these tedious things only fall on Li Ming.

In the afternoon, Li Ming held a brief farewell ceremony. After sending away the army from both east and west, he led Zhuang Ya and five hundred guards to Yongcuishan Villa.

Ma Linwei is a local tycoon. He has many industries in Zhongzhou. He has a very high reputation in Mingyang City and has a very close relationship with Li Ming. He is exactly the important target that Li Ming wants to win over. Although Biquan Island has trained a group of his own officials, the territory of the two states in the Jianghu is also very wide. It is a drop in the bucket for Li Ming, whose territory is rapidly expanding. Therefore, it is necessary for him to absorb some local gentry to participate in administrative management.

The summer Yongcui Villa looks particularly lush and lush. The Yongcui Villa built in the lion forest completely blocked the scorching summer heat outside. When Li Ming entered, it happened that the lights were on. Ma Linwei and his family were sitting in the pavilion in the dense forest for dinner. Seeing Li Ming's arrival, everyone hurried forward to greet him.

After a while of greetings with everyone, Li Ming took the opportunity to have a supper, and then pulled Malinwei into the dark woods.

Along the way, Li Ming showed Ma Linwei the purpose of his trip. After listening, Ma Linwei didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing him like this, Li Ming did not urge him. The two of them walked slowly in the woods in silence. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed very dull.

After two or three miles, Ma Linwei sighed lightly and said, "I once made a vow to never enter the officialdom for my life, but I didn't expect that you came to me personally this time, which really made me not know what to do. In fact, my father was once the chief executive of Zhongzhou, but in the end he died in the struggle of the palace forces. Therefore, before his death, my father repeatedly warned me not to let me step into the officialdom, and I did strictly follow my father's instructions before his death. In Ming Yangcheng, I accumulated a lot of wealth, used my wealth, and did a lot of things that benefit the people, but I never thought of becoming a single official and half-time position. What should I do?"
