But in fact, there were almost no wars along that route. The northern area near the Central Plains was the area where the Huangling Army was wreaking more serious havoc.
Gongsun Zhi marched all the way and attached himself directly to any place that was not ravaged by the Huangling Army.
With almost no effort, he gained territory covering almost two counties.
However, this expansion of territory is not a good thing, but means thousands of mouths waiting to be fed.
Fortunately, Gongsun Zhi and his men had enough experience, and they were skillful in taking in the refugees and settling them in the fields.
For Gongsun Zhi, at least one thing is a good thing.
That's where the Huangling Army went, breaking through the Wubao and grabbing the grain reserves of the powerful, but actually cleaning up all the powerful in this land.
Of course, the downside is that these places are really poor.
He could only stop his progress again and continue to settle the refugees in the fields to ensure food and grass for military and civilian use.
And he himself built "earth temples" in various counties and counties. He went to each place personally, offered sacrifices in public and invited "sin-breaking monuments" to be enshrined.
When the 'Condemnation Monument' is enshrined, it immediately generates a huge suction force and absorbs all the evil spirits in the enshrined area.
At first, the people of the two counties in Xinde naturally did not believe in the "Earth God's Conviction Monument", but when someone wanted to give it a try, they prayed in front of the Conviction Monument and wanted to inquire about the status of their dead enemy.
It happened that the soul of his enemy had been absorbed by the Condemnation Monument, and the praying man seemed to vaguely see the scene of the sinner suffering various tortures in hell amidst the fragrance of incense.
This can be said to be a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
With such word-of-mouth spreading, and the fact that people continued to receive similar reactions, the people in the newly occupied areas returned home in the shortest possible time.
When everything was in a state of collapse, Gongsun Zhi, the representative of the old order, and Jiang Sibai, the symbol of the theocratic order, finally brought stability to the chaotic place.
Next, it’s time to recuperate.
It was Gongsun Zhi who was quite depressed. He was just about to open up his arms and legs to do something big, but he had to hold back.
Depressed, he went to Jiang Sibai and asked, "Father, I still feel aggrieved. I obviously have a lot of strength but I just can't use it."
Jiang Sibai didn't say anything, and directly gave him a 'killing battlefield' illusion, so that he wouldn't have the energy to have any random thoughts.
Gongsun Zhi lay down without saying a word.
After half a day, I finally recovered from the illusion.
He looked at Jiang Sibai with a troubled and speechless expression, not knowing what to say at all.
Jiang Sibai asked: "Are you still confused now?"
Gongsun Zhi shook his head and said, "Okay Yafu, I know what to do."
He looked uncomfortable when he came, and he still looked uncomfortable when he left.
When I came, I was depressed, and when I left, I was exhausted.
However, after venting his anger in the 'Killing Fields', he was able to think in the most calm way.
With that said, he said goodbye and left.
Jiang Sibai thought that the child finally recognized the reality and decided to rest and recuperate for another year.
result……
The next day, the whole city suddenly erupted in huge cheers, and an army of only a thousand people was seen leaving the city and rushing out farther east.
Jiang Sibai was speechless for a moment, and then he realized what these people were going to do.
He thought Gongsun Zhi had ‘grown up’, but in fact he was still the same boy!
What can a thousand men do if they go out to fight?
Ordinary people probably can't do anything.
But Gongsun Zhi was a child taught by Jiang Sibai, and he could do a lot.
His goal is very clear, which is to break through the entrenched gangster lairs.
Because these bandits are not engaged in production, but only in robbing others.
The people are already having a hard enough time, how can they withstand the plundering of these bandits?
Jiang Sibai silently followed Gongsun Zhi, escorting him quietly.
But when he saw the evil spirits gathering, he destroyed them with one sword.
Then the projection of the Confession Monument is left to absorb the evil spirits.
Gongsun Zhi is responsible for the mortal war. Sometimes when he breaks through a mountain stronghold and feels cold and uncomfortable all over his body, he will suddenly see a condemnation monument rising from the soil, and then all the cold feelings will disappear.
Sometimes he came to a dilapidated county town. Before he entered the town, he saw a sin-consecrating monument in the wilderness outside the town, and the small town was indeed peaceful.
Whenever this happens, he always smiles.
He knew that his current decision was wrong, but he had to do it, otherwise if he waited another year, many people would die.
Once he passed by a large northern city. The two were so far apart that the gates of the city were even opened for him.
The intention of opening the door and inviting you is very obvious.
But he just shook his head, explained the reason to the city guard outside the city gate, and then left in a hurry.
He actually passed through the city gate without entering.
Because he knows that he is not yet capable of taking on this responsibility.
Food and grass, food and grass!
Gongsun Zhi was almost driven crazy by the word "food and grass" in his heart.
He also wanted to have a hearty fight, but he didn't have the capital.
He promised to make a promise next year, but he could only "escape" in embarrassment.
But he didn't know that as he attacked again and again in the northern land of Yan State, wiping out bandits almost without asking for anything in return, his popularity in the northern land had been greatly improved.
After this year's autumn harvest, he did not return to his territory until the next year's autumn harvest, and he was away fighting for almost a year.
Of the 1,000 people he originally brought out, only about 400 remained.
These four hundred people did not have any resentment against Gongsun Zhi because of this. Instead, after understanding the mood of this young man who had just turned eighteen, they followed him to fight endlessly, and they have become four hundred righteous men!
The place of righteousness is to die without turning back.
The reason why Gongsun Zhi was able to fight outside for such a long time with peace of mind was because he had Jiang Sibai, his sub-father, to suppress him at home.
I don’t know who tipped him off, but the earth god who can judge death is Gongsun Zhi’s Yafu. At this time, the hearts of the entire territory are unprecedentedly united.
Although it is very unreliable for humanity to rely on Shinto for the stability of political power, the question is, where does Gongsun Zhi have the room to think about this now?
At the same time, he feels that a country completely ruled by humans may not be really good. Otherwise, why would oppression and injustice still occur in endlessly?
And why can the three counties headed by Sanshanling calm people's hearts so quickly?
It’s not just because the Condemnation Monument allows people to see the fairness after death.
However, this also had a side effect, which was that Gongsun Zhi completely lost the support of the powerful landlords.
The guilty monument is a reassuring thing for ordinary people, but for the powerful landlords who are used to stepping on ordinary people and enjoying their blood, it has become a great terror.
But Gongsun Zhi couldn't care less about this. There wasn't much he could do now, he just cultivated the land one after another, and then occupied more territory.
