"It's rare that you have such thoughts in the past." Liang Tao stared at this ordinary-looking descendant who has always been humble, and said: "I'm afraid you are not only talking about the other three families, but also about Liang Shuo, right?"
"My grandson doesn't dare." Liang Hui replied.
Liang Tao sneered twice, and then asked: "What do you think of Zhao Shu?"
"When Zhao Shu was doing rituals and rituals, I looked around the country of Huaxu, and I thought that no one could compare with him." Liang Hui said, "Moreover, this man is very capable of doing his job and works tirelessly. Now Wei Xiuwen has asked him to guard Jianjia Pass, and he
From the dispatching of grain and fodder, the preparation of weapons, to the punishment of soldiers for violating discipline, and the construction of forts and ditches, we all personally inspect and inspect them."
"You admire him very much?" Liang Tao raised his eyebrows.
Liang Hui lowered his head and said: "My grandson just thinks that Zhao Shui can be a great person. My grandfather liked this person probably because of his achievements in scientific rituals, but my grandson thinks it's more than that."
"In your opinion, how can Zhao Shu be used by our Chongxuan Hall?" Liang Tao asked as if he was taking a test.
Now Liang Hui encountered a problem. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only speak vaguely: "My grandfather had a good plan long ago, so my grandson doesn't need to say more."
"I'm asking you!" Liang Tao snorted coldly, making Liang Hui secretly frightened.
"In the eyes of my grandson, Zhao Shu is not interested in wealth, silk and beauty, and he may be able to use power and position to win him over." Liang Hui said: "Zhao Shu is determined to do a big business, but without power and position, he will be unable to do anything."
"Since you see it that way, just stay with Zhao Shu to do things." Liang Tao said nothing more, and the light and shadow on the four-dimensional mirror quietly disappeared.
After a full quarter of an hour, there was no movement on the mirror. Liang Hui put away his humility and stared at the solitary orchid with a gloomy face and said nothing.
…
"Report! Lieutenant Han's troops have arrived twenty miles outside Chenlu County. They defeated the ambush and beheaded more than a hundred people!"
"Report! The besieging soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom have been killed and retreated by Han Xiaowei's command! We are currently pursuing and annihilating the remaining enemies!"
"Report! There are no Jiuli soldiers and horses within a thirty-mile radius of Chenlu County!"
"Report! The sentry post in the southwest of Jianjia Pass has detected traces of the Huandou people, and the search is being stepped up!"
Urgent military reports were sent back to Jianjia Pass one after another. Zhao Shui sat in the main hall of the palace with a calm look on his face. Cao Zuo, who joined the army on the left and right, breathed a sigh of relief. Someone immediately praised:
"Chang Zhao's historical records are astonishing. They are indeed consistent with what you said. The southern barbarians of Jiuli set up an ambush in order to try to divert the garrison in the pass."
"More than just predicting things like a god? Zhao Changshi summons ghosts and spirits, and has a panoramic view of the movements of Jiuli Kingdom's soldiers and horses, so he can naturally defeat the enemy thousands of miles away."
"Yes, yes!"
When Zhao Shu heard the praise from everyone, he waved his hands and said: "You are all over-praising me. How could Zhao have such a great ability! I'm just sitting in the courtyard waiting for the military information to be reported back...the messenger!"
"Here!" A soldier below answered with a feather order on his back and raised his hands.
"Command Captain Han to continue sending reconnaissance cavalry to detect the movements of Ming Jiuli's troops, but do not lead the majority in pursuit too far." Zhao Shu picked up a transfer order and stamped it with the general's seal:
"There is another incident. The Shang family in Shenhuang County was ordered to pay grain, rice, cloth and silk. The quantity was insufficient. They even used chaff and straw as grain and used dirty and damaged cloth to pass it off as new cloth. Their crime was extremely heinous. Captain Han did not need to return to Jianjia Pass immediately.
With this order, we go straight to Shenhuang County and ask the Shang family to replenish military supplies within two days. If there is resistance, we will kill without mercy and hang our heads at the east gate to warn the world!"
"Got the order!" The ordering soldier took the order without any hesitation and ran away quickly.
When the rest of the army saw that Zhao Mingyun Danfeng had given such an order, they thought that Zhao Changshi had imprisoned the county magistrate, arrested the county guard, and ran rampant in Qingyan County. Wherever he passed, ghosts and gods retreated, and the officials were frightened. They originally thought that he was the culprit.
Ruthless style.
However, after this period of time, they all found that Zhao Shu was surprisingly easy to get along with, as long as they handled their respective official duties well.
"Zhao Changshi." One of the soldiers who joined the army asked: "Since you can use ghosts and gods to send messages to Colonel Han, why do you need to issue a transfer order? This way, you can avoid running back and forth and wasting time."
"This is official business. Naturally, it can only be carried out with official documents." Zhao Shu said: "When Lieutenant Han goes to Shenhuang County to attack a big family, he must ask the local officials to cooperate. Otherwise, someone will use my name.
I am doing evil and roaming the land, how can I defend myself?"
Zhao Shu actually learned this skill from the Prince and Cheng of Xingluo County. With official documents stamped, the people below him would be confident in doing things and have clear instructions on what to do.
Then I thought about it, this official document can order thousands of soldiers and horses, and it can easily overthrow a large local family. The command and dispatch is like an arm and a finger, and it is not much different from using talismans to execute laws and summoning officials and soldiers. In other words,
, Fufa summoning is basically to imitate the use of soldiers in the world.
But Zhao Shu did not fail to send word to the officials at Lutan. He actually informed Colonel Han in advance and asked him not to launch troops to plunder and harm innocent people. As long as the Shang family did not resist with force, he would give them two days to raise military supplies.
Time. Even if you want to kill, only the first culprit will be killed.
"One more thing, please ask Zhao Changshi to clear up our doubts." Someone asked: "Since Zhao Changshi can summon ghosts and gods to send messages, can he exchange news with General Wei? If he can, it will save a lot of trouble.
"
"This is my first attempt to use ghosts and gods to convey messages." Zhao Shu said: "This method is far from complete. Just like letters can be intercepted midway, ghosts and gods can also be disturbed by various situations when communicating. Especially in battlefields where fighting is fierce and fierce.
The energy is soaring into the sky and filling the fields, and I can’t force the ghosts, gods, and soldiers to get closer and spread the word.”
In fact, Zhao Shui has always wanted to refine a magical instrument similar to the Gangfengyi Banner, but unfortunately he has had little success until he personally enlightened the officials and soldiers, used the method of summoning and dispatching to hunt down evil spirits, and found that he could use the altar to send messages to the officials and soldiers.
Unfortunately, when it was put into practice, it was found that there were still many difficulties, and every time the troops were summoned and sent out, they had to go to the altar to practice the Dharma, which was extremely complicated.
The higher his cultivation level, the more Zhao Miao admired the person who refined the Gangfengyi Flag. Remembering that this thing had played an important role in the hands of Chiyundu, maybe the person who refined the weapon was in Cangwu Ridge.
"Zhao Changshi!" A military officer hurried over: "It's bad! Hundreds of prisoners have escaped!"
There was originally some excitement in the courtyard about the victory in the first battle, but it was dampened by these words.
"Aren't the prisoners in the prison? How many hundreds of them can escape?" Zhao Shu asked.
There is a prison city in Jianjia Pass where exiled criminals are detained. It is patrolled by soldiers day and night. The prisoners inside do all kinds of heavy labor every day. It is said that it is impossible to escape easily.
"They are the prisoners who went into the mountains to mine." The military officer replied: "We were in urgent need of rock to repair the city wall. General Wei ordered a group of prisoners to go to the nearby quarrying mountain to dig out stones."
Zhao Shu picked up the military registers of each battalion and looked through them, with a slightly cold tone: "Right now, the area around Jianjia Pass is heavily guarded, with constant sentinels. People entering and leaving nearby counties are required to verify their access routes. If their identities are unknown, they will be taken down immediately. As for that,
Speaking of remote villages, they are heavily guarded against outsiders. Where can these hundreds of prisoners go?"
The military officer looked confused. Seeing him like this, Zhao Shu asked again: "Are there any other prisoners in Caishi Mountain?"
"There are about a hundred people left and they are being escorted back."
Zhao Shu pondered for a moment and said: "Don't take these prisoners into the prison immediately after they come back. I want to personally examine them."
Signaling the military officers to retreat, Zhao Shui said to Cao Zuo, who was participating in the army: "What do you think?"
"With hundreds of criminals, it's not a big deal. Just send more scouts to find out their location, and then wait for an opportunity to kill them."
"I'm afraid that these prisoners won't be able to get together at all, and they will become like birds and beasts in a few days. It would be great if they can become bandits and thieves."
"These prisoners all have tattoos. They can be recognized immediately if they go to a densely populated area. They have nowhere to hide. Instead, they may seek refuge in Jiuli Country."
"The barbarians of Jiuli Kingdom may not want this group of escaped prisoners. Don't forget, there are thousands of prisoners in Jianjia Pass who are the remnants of Chiyun's rebellion back then!"
"Hmph! What I'm talking about is this group of Chiyun rebels. Who knows if they will collude with the Jiuli Kingdom and wait for an opportunity to invade Jianjia Pass?"
"Now that Zhao Changshi is in charge of Jianjia Pass, why should we fear that the rebels will attack?"
"You guys have been in the south for a long time. I wonder if you have heard about the magic sword that the Chiyun Rebellion Party once made in Xingluo County?"
"I have heard a little bit. I heard that Liang Shuo, the eldest son of Chongxuan Hall, died under the sword of the rebellious party."
"Haha, you probably don't know yet. The person who proposed using rituals to suppress the edge of the divine sword was Zhao Changshi! What about the Chiyun Rebellion? Zhao Changshi is their nemesis!"
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
Cao Zuo, a group of soldiers who joined the army, looked at Zhao Shu with admiration. Zhao Shu could not avoid it and said: "It is not all my fault that I suppressed the divine sword with rituals and rituals. There were more than a dozen colleagues from Jiangzhen Hall who assisted me at that time.
, it is up to Liang Guoshi to personally kill the rebel leader. Not to mention the subsequent advance, it all depends on General Wei’s troops and has nothing to do with me.”
Zhao Shu put down the book and asked: "I remember it has been ten years since Chiyundu rebelled. Since he is really a remnant of the rebel party, why don't you just surrender? Why do you want to stay in Jianjia Pass and serve as a prisoner?"
One of the bookkeepers said: "Zhao Changshi didn't know something. Back then, the Chiyun Rebellion Party pretended to join the Huaxu Kingdom and brought millions of soldiers and civilians with them. At that time, the government and the public were afraid, lest they become self-confessed.
Later, the imperial court separated them on the grounds of relocating soldiers and civilians, and then killed all those who resisted. Unfortunately, the news leaked for some reason, which gave the rebels an opportunity to gather people to resist, and for a time they occupied several city walls.
"
Zhao Shu asked: "There are many cultivators in the Chiyun Rebellion, and there are also people with profound skills. How did they deal with it in the end?"
The chief registrar replied: "It still depends on the head of each house to take action, and naturally the Liang Guoshi is indispensable. It is said that at that time Liang Guoshi summoned a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to earth, directly tear open the walls of the old Jing City, and let the imperial officers and soldiers fight.
Swarm in and destroy the stronghold of the rebellious party Chen Bing."
"Old Jing City? I have passed by it before, and there are only ruins covered with weeds and tiles." Zhao Shu said: "Why did the imperial court abandon the old city and find another place to build a new city?"
"Your Majesty has decreed that the rebellious party has been entrenched in Jingcheng for a long time, and the local banditry has been deep. The roots of the chaos and banditry cannot be eradicated unless they are burned and killed." The chief secretary said: "Later, there was a local song, which sang 'The thatch must be overdone.
"Stones must be passed through the knife, and millet must be planted." This means that towns like the old Jing City where the Chiyun Rebellion was once entrenched must be killed and the city abandoned."
Zhao Miao tightened his fingers and said without changing his expression: "Did the imperial court order the massacre of the city?"
The chief clerk shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We can't do it without massacre. The Chiyun rebellious party is particularly good at deceiving the public with their monstrous words, and can easily coerce the people in a place to cause chaos. After several massacres in several towns, the arrogance of the rebellious party was suppressed."
"If that's the case, then why did you let the remnants of the rebellious party go?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Actually..." The chief clerk couldn't bear Zhao Shu's threatening gaze, so he had to explain: "Actually, few people know whether those prisoners are remnants of the rebellious party. They are just the leaders of the rebellious party who fled into Cangwu Ridge.
, many soldiers and civilians fled to various places, and the imperial court searched the countryside and widely distributed rewards.
At that time, a large number of hidden rebels were indeed identified, but many innocent people were still affected. Because the Chiyun Rebellion has not yet been completely wiped out, the legacy still exists. In the past ten years, people have often identified the rebels. As for the
Whether it is true or false, if the officials in various places do not bother to investigate carefully, they will be exiled to Jianjia Pass and serve as prisoners."
Zhao Ming remained calm on the surface, but anger gradually grew in his heart, and he said calmly: "If things continue like this, it is inevitable that people will boil over."
The chief secretary and the army officer below did not know the reason, but only said: "It is a pity that the Chiyun rebels are hiding in Cangwu Ridge. That area is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and it is inconvenient for the court to send soldiers to surround and suppress it. Zhao Changshi has magical powers. I wonder if it can be defeated.
The black magic of the rebel party?"
"At the moment, we still have to deal with the Jiuli Kingdom." Zhao Shu pondered for a moment: "Chiyun rebels... I will put this matter aside for the time being. I will write to various counties and counties to let them be on guard. If they are punished with tattoos,
As a disciple, we temporarily detained him. Now we really have no time to take care of him."
Everyone said they were leaving, and Zhao Shu was once again preparing to open an altar to practice Dharma, and by the way, someone called Zhang Liwei.
"What's Zhao Changshi's order?" As soon as Zhang Liwei came to the hall, He Dangguan closed the door tightly from the outside. He and Zhao Mi were left alone in the room. Zhang Liwei looked at Zhao Mi's expression.
He felt solemn and slightly uneasy, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"Most of the prisoners in Jianjia Pass are from Chiyundu. Do you know this?" Zhao Shu came up and asked.
Zhang Liwei's heart tightened, and he immediately understood that the other party had already suspected that he was a member of Chiyundu. But looking at Zhao Shu's expression now, Zhang Liwei couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"I heard about it by chance after I came to Jianjia Pass." Zhang Liwei lowered his head and held his hands.
"Then you were recruited and came to Jianjia Pass to rescue these prisoners?" Zhao Shu asked again.
"My subordinates can't understand what Zhao Changshi said." Zhang Liwei suppressed his nervousness.
"Are you worried that others will notice what we are saying?" Zhao Shu tapped his fingers on the table, and a talisman on the beam flashed, "I have already set up a ban on this important military aircraft place, whether it is to guard against the witches from Jiuli Kingdom.
The Gu Master is still a Guanshi monk who is on guard against Huaxu Kingdom."
Zhang Liwei's expression changed slightly, and then he heard Zhao Shu say: "I asked you to come here, so I am absolutely sure. You don't have to continue to hide it in front of me. I already knew that you were with me when we came to Zhang Village."
The cultivator Chiyundu communicates secretly. That cultivator can still escape, right?"
