The Daomen of the world are one family.

This saying that is spread among countries is more than just talk.

Talking about Wei State alone, after the top Taoist sects learned that the witchcraft rebellion broke out in Lingnan Road, they all went to Taishan Taoist Palace to discuss the matter together.

All Dao gates in the world are headed by Dao Palace.

And there are Taoist palaces in every country.

However, there is very little contact with each other, almost none. Only when encountering a life-or-death situation for the faction, they will contact other countries and the Taoist Palace to come to help.

The origins of Taoist palaces in various countries are very deep.

This time, many Wei Taoist sects came to the Taishan Taoist Palace, but all the Taoist sects belonging to the first-class Jianghu forces, such as Tianshi Mansion, Wudang Sect, etc., were basically here.

The purpose of their trip was to target wizards.

Since ancient times, witches and wizards have been at odds with each other. Taking advantage of the emperor personally leading an army to attack these witchcraft sects, they all wanted to add insult to injury and contribute their small amount to completely annihilate the witchcraft sect in the Wei Kingdom.

The talented little Taoist nun in the Taoist Palace returned to the Taoist Palace to recover from her injuries after the battle on the Huaihe River.

This time regarding the witchcraft issue, she felt that she had to give him a helping hand, both emotionally and rationally.

In this way, led by the Taoist Palace, the Taoist sects in the Wei Kingdom quickly became one, and each sent a considerable amount of combat power to help the emperor.

In fact, there is another reason why they are so active, and that is that the emperor personally leads the army and horses to the rivers and lakes this time, which is also very worrying for them.

And it would be good to take advantage of this opportunity to increase the favorability of each Taoist sect in front of the emperor. Otherwise, maybe after the horse-trampling that day, there will be another horse-trampling of the Taoist sect.

Who can bear it?

So this time the favorability level must be improved.

This time, the main reason why most Taoist sects were able to survive this time is because they hid in their sects and cultivated behind closed doors and did not care about the affairs of the world.

Anyone who is involved in Jianghu affairs or has anything to do with Zhao Changqing is unlikely to be a good person.

Guangfu.

Xiao Yuming stayed in the city for two full days. After thoroughly investigating the strength of the rebels, he worriedly said to the Lingnan Dao Jiedushi:

"I really didn't expect that these rebels would have such a strong appeal. Two days ago, they claimed to have only 200,000 troops. In just two days, they added another 300,000 troops."

Ma Hong glanced at the terrain map of Lingnan Road, and he was just as worried as he was, "General Xiao, after all, we still underestimated the prestige of wizards like them among the local people. With a cheer, there are people in every town. The response from the people was really unexpected."

Xiao Yuming sighed: "Tell me, how can I, general, wield a butcher's knife at these common people? They are all from poor families who cannot afford to read or learn the ways of saints, so they are bewitched by these witches. Influenced by the magic and obscene skills of the Tao."

Ma Hong clasped his fists and said: "The matter has come to this, we can't delay it any longer. Even if the common people have been deceived, they have become rebels after all. Who is a general who doesn't have thousands of bones at his feet?

I hope General Xiao can put his family and country first and make an early decision."

Xiao Yuming's eyes turned cold, and he said sadly: "Well, Xiao will bear this infamy! Xiao will be the first to swing the butcher knife that attacks the common people!"

Then he walked out of the government hall and went to the barracks to recruit troops, totaling 50,000 people. He personally led them to capture Duanzhou, which could threaten Fucheng, to gain some strategic depth for Fucheng and ensure that His Majesty's command of the battle would not be affected.

Faced with these ordinary people who had not received formal training, Xiao Yuming did not use any military tactics. Instead, fifty thousand people rushed forward in a rush. It was like a group fight without any rules at all.

Although this is not the most effective way to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers, it is the shortest time consuming method.

The anti-thief army composed of ordinary people who defended the city were dumbfounded when they saw so many elite soldiers wearing armor and with fierce momentum.

They have attacked Guangzhou Prefecture not once or twice in the past few days, but there is no way to compare the troops defending the city with the troops in front of them.

These attackers cooperated in an orderly manner and attacked in a measured manner, and each of them was so unafraid of death. They were like soldiers from heaven descending from the earth. Their combat effectiveness was terrifying.

In a sense, their understanding was correct, this was indeed a heavenly weapon.

They are all soldiers who followed Zhao Changqing all the way from north to south. It can be said that they are treading on corpses and bones. The army trained under such circumstances is absolutely invincible. The most important thing is that every time they Everyone has faith in their hearts.

Their belief is in His Majesty the current Emperor, Zhao Changqing.

An army that has the courage to move forward is not scary. What is scary is that they have faith in their hearts.

It can be safely said that the soldiers following Zhao Changqing at this moment are much more powerful than the founding army of the Wei Dynasty.

The loud and fierce horn sounded, and the soldiers in black armor began a new round of charge. Their formation was like an overwhelming force, shaking the world.

The flags were fluttering in the wind, and the army met on a narrow road, showing off its momentum of victory for the brave. It was quite magnificent, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing shocked the hearts of every defender.

Arrows were flying in the air, and one ladder after another climbed up the city.

The defenders gradually became panicked and began to shoot arrows randomly.

People are dying every minute.

Until the first soldier attacked the city wall, then the second, and the third, like crucian carp crossing the river, more and more, and finally, the city gate was broken.

In less than an hour, Xiao Yuming had already captured Duanzhou City.

The moment he stepped onto the city gate, he did not feel any joy.

Not only him, but also the soldiers who attacked the city.

Because they all knew in their hearts that this victory was nothing to show off or be happy about. They all knew that the enemies they faced this time were just ordinary people who could not even hold a sword.

"General, there are more than 20,000 prisoners in total, how should we arrange them?" A deputy general said to Xiao Yuming after counting the Duanzhou prisoners.

He replied: "Come on, take me to see you."

The deputy general nodded and led the way.

The prisoners were all held in the streets, with unwillingness and fear written on their faces.

Each of them had a long rope tied to their hands, and the general among the rebels was put in shackles.

Xiao Yuming looked at them, feeling very painful in his heart, as if there was sand in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said loudly to them: "If you don't help others and resist the imperial court in the future, I, the general, can make the decision and let you go home." Farming, but all this must be done after the traitors are completely eliminated!"

However, something unexpected happened to him. Instead of being grateful, these people started making noise one after another intensified.

"Go to hell with your court! I don't recognize you, I only recognize the great wizard!"

"Sooner or later, the great wizard will kill you all and give us a chance to be reborn and achieve happiness!"

"Come and kill us if you can! The great wizard will avenge us!"

"..."

These common people are already stunned. At this moment, in their eyes, there is no king or master, no relatives or friends, only a person codenamed the Great Wizard.

Xiao Yuming looked at their eyes and felt a little scared in his heart.

This famous Wei general who had gone through battlefields and fought bloody battles actually felt scared.

Because, in the eyes of these people, he saw a state of extreme madness.

It's so heart-pounding and surprising.

But who is the great wizard they keep talking about?

Will there be this person?

What are the methods he uses to confuse these people?

"Do you think they still deserve to be called human beings now?" Xiao Yuming asked the deputy general beside him.

The deputy general shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

Xiao Yuming asked again: "Is there any way to make them become normal people?"

The lieutenant general sighed: "I'm afraid... it will be difficult to report back to the general..."

Xiao Yuming gritted his teeth, turned his back, and said: "No matter what, we can't kill them. We will mobilize three thousand soldiers and keep them under strict guard. They will be starved for a few days. The rest of the troops will be captured by our general."

One city!”

If it were Cao Shen or Chen Qingzhi today, it is very likely that these 20,000 people would not survive.

But Xiao Yuming would not do that.

Because he is Xiao Yuming.

He is a noble man from a poor family.

Many years later, this story was rediscovered, but no one cared whether the bewitched people were killed or not.

After all, whether to kill or not to kill is just a few numbers in history books.

What they only care about is that a general who came from a poor family said something like this, 'The butcher's knife that attacks the common people will be wielded first by Xiao.'
