Chapter 1396 The only thing we can do is to alert the snake.
Several fast horses galloped down from the top of the mountain and headed straight for the border guard's fortress.
They are the messengers sent by Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou, in the name of Dianzhou Guard, issued military orders, strictly instructing the border guards to stick to the fort and not go out to fight, so as to minimize casualties.
On their trip south this time, they carried many official seals from southern Xinjiang. No matter how they checked, the orders were genuine.
According to Qin Shaoyou's observation, the entire battlefield is an altar.
When fighting in a place like this, as long as there are casualties, more sacrifices will be given to the crazy god in the blood moon.
Therefore, casualties must be reduced.
Fortunately, the Blood Moon is now relatively far away from the human world, and its cage has been reinforced by the power of starlight, so the flesh and blood and sacrifices on the battlefield cannot go directly to the Blood Moon.
Someone needs to cast a spell and sacrifice.
Qin Shaoyou used [Bright Eyes] to conduct some reconnaissance on the top of the mountain, and soon discovered that the people responsible for the sacrifices were groups of monks.
These monks are different from the monks of the Xia Dynasty.
This difference is not only in skin color, appearance, etc., but also comes from their temperament.
On the way here, Qin Shaoyou consulted a lot of information related to southern Xinjiang and knew that the Buddhist teachings popular in the southern Xinjiang countries were different from those in Daxia.
The Buddhism here is the product of the combination of Hinayana Buddhism and local witchcraft.
Therefore, this group of monks from the countries in southern Xinjiang do not have the compassion of Master Suquan, nor the compassion of Monk Daoming, nor the angry-eyed King Kong of Monk Ma.
Their whole bodies are full of evil and gloomy, and they even use ghosts to practice their magic.
If placed in the interior of the Xia Dynasty, these people would be monster monks, but in the southern Xinjiang countries, they are guests.
Because their magic can keep the royal families and nobles of the southern Xinjiang countries young and energetic.
Although this will cause many innocent people to suffer or even die.
At this moment, on the battlefield, these monks were walking in groups among the corpses.
They seemed to be reciting scriptures to redeem the soldiers who died on both sides, but in fact they were sacrificing flesh, blood and souls in this battlefield altar.
Therefore, in addition to keeping the border guards at bay, Qin Shaoyou also sent Monk Ma to lead people to grab business.
Get ahead of these monks and burn the corpses on the battlefield.
Don't give the monks here in southern Xinjiang the opportunity to sacrifice to the mad god.
It also prevents wild dogs and rats from becoming demonized and mutated after eating human corpses and human blood.
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou also asked Cai Guizhong to light up the Chenghuang Temple here in southern Xinjiang, borrowing the authority of the Chenghuang Lord here.
They also sent out ghosts and ghosts to hunt down the souls wandering on the battlefield, and sent them to the underworld with the help of the City Emperor Temple.
Because the battlefield is an altar, the souls of those who died here cannot go directly to the underworld and can only stay on the battlefield.
They are devouring each other and constantly getting worse, just like being fed a poison.
These ghosts have no way to leave the battlefield and can only wait to be "transferred" by the monks in southern Xinjiang.
But with the addition of Cai Guizhong's Yin Shen and Gui Cha, this situation will be broken.
Of course, when the body is burned and the ghost is taken away, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the followers of the mad god and attract the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes.
But what Qin Shaoyou wants is this result.
The followers of these crazy gods and the masterminds behind the scenes are hidden very deep.
It is not impossible to find them in conventional ways, but it will take a lot of time and energy.
But now, the last thing Qin Shaoyou and the others can afford is time.
The only option is to alert the enemy.
Startle all the hidden snakes out.
As long as the mad god believers and the masterminds behind the scenes are not allowed to know who is alarming the snake, they can be induced to investigate and take measures.
These people just don't move. If they move, they will leave traces and clues, so Qin Shaoyou and the others can follow the clues.
After dispatching Monk Ma, Cai Guizhong and others, Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and ordered Zhu Xiucai:
"Send out all the spies here and let them continue to spy on information.
Tell them that we are the red-clad envoys who came to Dianzhou for inspection. We were ordered by the imperial court to investigate the reasons for the rebellion of the chieftains and the invasion of the southern Xinjiang countries.
You can also find an opportunity to tell them that the capital has received news of chaos from all directions and is urgently discussing countermeasures. It urgently needs frontline information. Whoever can investigate useful and valuable information at this time must be a great achievement...
… Let them know that the imperial court is in a hurry and in chaos, and there is no good countermeasure for the time being.”
Zhu Xiucai's mind was spinning very fast and he immediately guessed: "Your Excellency, you don't trust these spies, and you want to use their mouths to pass on false news, so that our target will misjudge their strength and relax their vigilance, thus exposing their flaws?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head: "I really want to use the spies to release false news.
But it's not that they don't trust them, it's that as secret agents, they might have been targeted a long time ago.
Especially after those traitors were killed, it is very likely that someone will take the opportunity to approach these spies and inquire about the news... We can just use the trick to pass on some false news."
Zhu Xiucai understood that there was no need for Qin Shaoyou to say anything, so he accepted the order, turned around and released a mantra that could 'shrink the ground into an inch', rushed to the place where the secret agent was detained, and acted according to Qin Shaoyou's instructions.
Qin Shaoyou was not idle after making successive arrangements.
He took out a map from his pocket.
It is a topographic map of southern Xinjiang.
On this map, Qin Shaoyou quickly determined the location of himself and others, as well as the sphere of influence of several rebel chieftains in southern Xinjiang, and the location of their chieftain's mansion.
Before fighting the outside world, make peace with the inside first.
Qin Shaoyou planned to start with these rebellious chieftains, capture them, and force them to retreat.
By then, even if the coalition forces from the southern Xinjiang countries do not retreat, the followers of the mad god and the masterminds behind the scenes will definitely come looking for them.
As long as they show up, things will be easy to handle!
But this plan must be done quickly.
We must use the power of thunder to capture all the rebel chieftains before anyone can react, and force them to retreat.
In this way, with a multi-pronged approach, the followers of the Mad God and the masterminds behind the scenes will be able to be caught off guard.
Never give them a chance to react or think carefully.
Only in this way can they be thrown into panic.
And once people are confused, they will make mistakes.
What Qin Shaoyou is best at is catching other people's mistakes and attacking them!
Soon, Qin Shaoyou selected a point on the map.
It was the closest chieftain's government office to them.
It is also Pingnanguan here in southern Xinjiang.
Qin Shaoyou plans to use this place as a breakthrough.
Once this level is taken, even if the coalition forces of the southern Xinjiang countries do not become closed dogs, they will be blocked in their retreat and logistical supplies, and the soldiers below will inevitably be in chaos.
The mad god believers and the masterminds behind the scenes will definitely be unable to sit still.
