Originally, Song Huo was planning to kill all the generals in one fell swoop, and he wanted to kill them all in order to collect enough blood for Madam Xuanyin without grudges.
However, under Xia Qingyang’s ‘ideological guidance’, things that originally seemed to be difficult seemed to become more organized and less difficult?
The method Xia Qingyang mentioned was not something that no one had thought of before. What was rare was that he could make this method that was originally full of difficulties more feasible.
It is precisely because of this that Song Huo cannot rush to attack... This operation has become much more sophisticated, so naturally it also needs intelligence support.
The manpower of Blood Flag Village was spread out in large numbers, and they began to investigate the background of various copycat forces in Daqing Mountain... This matter has become a top priority.
Of course, Xia Qingyang also has a brand new task here, which is to help Song Huo conquer the more than 300 people in the village...
Regarding this matter...Xia Qingyang can be said that practice makes perfect.
What methods are needed to subdue a group of fugitives?
He directly asked the refugees to be taken to the open valley in the back mountain, and then distributed various farm tools.
He stood safely on a high place and said to these refugees: "There is not much food in the village. If you want to survive, you should open up wasteland and grow food yourself."
Then he paused and said: "Our Blood Flag Village needs to pay tribute to the Holy Sect. It is too troublesome to find people for blood sacrifice every time, so each of you needs to collect blood once a month... Live well, now you all
It is the precious treasure of my Blood Flag Village!"
Having said this, he didn't say anything more.
Next to him, a subordinate in the Blood Flag Village asked in confusion: "Sir, is this the end? What if they want to escape?"
Xia Qingyang said: "Then let them run away and save our food... Besides, they will eventually realize that instead of risking their lives by escaping, it is better to live a stable life under the protection of our Blood Flag Village."
"Do not chase fleeing people. Even if those who escape are captured, their blood will not be used."
"Don't kill people in front of these people, it will make them panic, and their blood will not be beautiful..."
So much so...
Then Xia Qingyang asked: "How many similar valleys are there?"
The man replied: "There are seven valleys of similar size within a hundred miles, which can support fifty thousand people."
Xia Qingyang nodded when he heard this and said: "That's very good, we don't necessarily need so many people... Next, it depends on how Uncle Song Huo's investigation goes."
He just told the people in Blood Flag Village how to operate this valley, and didn't pay much attention to it.
He understands that most of the time, there is no need to be too deliberate at all... The human heart is an elusive thing. He believes that after collecting blood a few times in this valley, as long as the people here get used to it and adapt, they will naturally be able to harvest without complaint.
of blood.
In fact, when these more than 300 people finally came to their senses, and some people picked up farm tools and started working with a skeptical attitude...
Xia Qingyang gained a lot of merit in one go.
This is...the virtue of a living person!
"Huh~"
Xia Qingyang looked at the unlocking progress of the eighth-level talent, which suddenly reached one-third, and knew that he might not be able to unlock this level too slowly.
As his cultivation level improves, there will actually be more and more ways to earn merit.
There is one more thing worth paying attention to... He discovered that now, he actually automatically receives some merit every day.
If you think about its origin carefully, you will know that it all comes from the winery you set up outside Suqing City... This is the grace of protection.
He carefully thought about the various causes and effects of this incident, and he felt that he could gain a lot of merit from the 'virtue of a living person' alone, and there would also be a steady flow of 'grace of shelter' in the future.
Not to mention the most direct ‘effort of getting rid of evil’…
There was another point that he thought about for a while, but he didn't include it in his calculations... that was the great merit of "guiding evil into good".
He wasn't sure whether he was leading evil to good... After all, it was all done through deception, so let's just leave it at that.
The intelligence collection work lasted for more than a month, because what Xia Qingyang needed was not only their background, but also the way these copycats worked in daily life.
On the one hand, this is to enable the most efficient attack, on the other hand, it is out of Xia Qingyang's selfishness...
After all, he was still bitter about the destruction of the town where he had lived for twelve years. He wanted to find out who had done this evil thing... and once he found out, he would lead his people to destroy it.
If we can't find out...then we'll have to eradicate all the cottages in Daqing Mountain!
He secretly felt cruel in his heart...a devil must always look like a devil!
…
"Qingyang, all the information you want has been collected. Next..."
Song Huo strode in from the outside, covered with wind and frost.
It's winter now, and the climate in Daqing Mountain is changeable... There are valleys where it feels like spring all year round, and there are also slopes where the cold wind and snow drift.
Song Huo personally surveyed a large area of mountainous terrain, and after summarizing it, Xia Qingyang directly made a sand table map.
At this time, Song Huo glanced at the sand table, paused and said, "Qingyang, you are doing something wrong with this hillside. The shady side is steeper and the height is shorter."
Xia Qingyang was speechless... He originally wanted to show off, but was directly despised.
Also, it is estimated that the topography of this mountain has been imprinted in Song Huo's heart... In terms of familiarity with the topography of Daqing Mountain, it is difficult for Xia Qingyang to even flatter him.
He said: "It made my uncle laugh. I wanted to find a clear way."
Song Huo hurriedly said: "This is very good, it's just that there are some inaccuracies, but it can be roughly understood... Don't tell me, if you put these copycat forces on it, it will indeed look much clearer."
Xia Qingyang could only smile bitterly at this 'comfort': "This disciple is showing off his ugliness. It's a shame."
Song Huo waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about that, let's take action next, right?"
Xia Qingyang said: "That's enough... Most of the forces with the background of our Holy Sect are located near the plains in the northwest. After all, compared to the bitter cold in the mountains, the city-states under the rule of the Emperor of Zhou over there are more prosperous and have more opportunities.
.”
"The group of people with the background of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in the northeast, and most of the cottages of the former dynasty survivors are in the southeast... Therefore, we should go to the southwest and sweep all the cottages there."
Song Huodao: "It's just that these cottages are not large in scale, and most of them make a living by looting. I'm afraid they don't have much profit, right?"
Xia Qingyang said: "Then we must speed up our attack, improve our operational efficiency, and win with numbers."
Song Huo said clearly: "Okay, let's take action now!"
He paused and looked at Xia Qingyang again: "Qingyang, your injuries should be healed, right?"
Xia Qingyang nodded and said: "Of course he is cured."
Song Huodao: "Then you will attack with me. Now is the time when you need to continue to practice combat to enhance your understanding."
This Song Huo actually really wanted to train Xia Qingyang well...
