"The Supreme Lord said that soldiers are an ominous weapon! After the army passes, there will be bad years!"
Tao Xiaowu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scenes along the way.
The destructive power of war is too great!
Along the way, Tao Xiaowu had not reached a war zone yet, but was still in a peaceful land.
However, the deployment of troops along the way caused chaos in the area and the market was in ruins.
Although these soldiers are official officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they are undoubtedly like bandits.
Wherever you go, petty theft is considered a good thing.
Even blackmail and robbery are common occurrences.
Every place where the officers and soldiers passed by was closed and no one could leave.
Tao Xiaowu knew that this was actually good!
No matter how you say it, the authority of the Jingren court is still there.
These generals who led the troops had scruples and did not dare to act recklessly, but they still restrained the troops.
If it comes to the end of the dynasty, the authority of the court will decline.
When those military leaders were acting unscrupulously, it was not uncommon for them to kill good people and take credit for their merits, or even directly launch troops to loot.
Bandits pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate, but this is not just talk!
However, Tao Xiaowu also knew that there was actually no way around this.
Just like in other worlds, after the end of the classical military era of Qin and Han Dynasties, the farming and warfare system collapsed.
The central government's control over the army began to decline, and it was no longer possible to spend most of the financial resources to support the army.
As a result, the troops of this classical dynasty received extremely low treatment, and they lived like beggars during normal times.
Only when there is a war and the court needs it, will the treatment be improved.
Soldiers are not fools, so they will naturally take advantage of it when the court needs it, and all kinds of lions will open their mouths, and even do whatever they want!
Therefore, in the classical era, since the end of the classical militaristic era, soldiers have declined and raising an army is like raising hungry wolves.
Normally hungry, he will eat people when he is released!
"Fortunately, during the Dayu era, some of the promiscuity of the classical military era was still maintained!"
Tao Xiaowu shook his head slightly and sighed.
Along the way, I was out of sight and out of sight, just rushing on my way and not paying attention to these messy things.
In just a few days, we had already arrived near Anzhou.
I saw a large army gathering and the atmosphere was solemn.
Troops from several surrounding provinces were mobilized here to besiege Anzhou.
However, the reason why Anzhou was able to shake the world when it was in chaos was that it was located in the middle of several provinces.
Moreover, there are mountains everywhere and people can move in all directions. How can the officers and soldiers block it?
Look at these Jingren troops again. Whether they are ordinary green battalions or flag soldiers, they all look like they have neglected training.
Many soldiers even smoked opiates!
Tao Xiaowu was shocked when he saw this scene: "I didn't expect that opiates would become popular so early!"
No wonder the Jingren court gathered so many troops, but they couldn't even defeat a mere Sanyang Sect!
However, Tao Xiaowu guessed that life for the Sanyang Sect would not be easy either.
After all, the Sanyang Sect rebelled too hastily and fled to Anzhou. Now it is blocked by the army. At least there is a shortage of various supplies, making life very difficult!
Therefore, this kind of blockade is actually not useless at all.
I don’t know how Sanyang Church will respond?
But not everyone is a great ancestor and can handle such a bad situation.
If one of them is bad, the Sanyang Sect will be finished!
"Forget it, let me help you. Who asked me to Cihang Pudu?"
Tao Xiaowu smiled strangely, and then he caught two mid-level officers, asked the army commander, the so-called economic minister He Bao, and others where they lived, and then killed them both casually.
The night is filling the air, and the place where the ministers of economic affairs travel is no longer noisy and noisy during the day.
Although the entire camp was not chaotic, it was completely disorganized.
However, there are also many loopholes and many unreasonable things.
It is also the winter season, and although Anzhou is much warmer than the capital, the weather is extremely cold.
Although it hasn't started to snow yet, the imperial army is still on the move.
But in fact military activities have stopped!
Even the officers and soldiers patrolling and guarding the camp were lazy and could only be seen patrolling once every half an hour.
This is actually stronger than the Capital Palace!
Around the palace, there are no more than two patrols a night.
After all, this place is still a battlefield!
However, no one expected to notice that in the night, a green mist suddenly filled the air and enveloped the Xingyuan camp.
Except Tao Xiaowu!
When he came here carrying two heads, he happened to see this scene and was slightly startled: "Is there anyone else besides me who is ready to take action? Interesting, interesting!"
These mist are certainly not Tao Xiaowu's hands and feet.
In fact, although these light green mist are also created by magic, they do not seem to be evil spirits, but rather poisonous, as if they are a kind of miasma.
It's just that this miasma doesn't seem to be very powerful. At most, it can make people sleep harder. Apart from giving nightmares, it seems to have no other use!
If it covers such a large area and can poison a group of people to death, then where is the Dharma-ending world?
Just when Tao Xiaowu was thinking this, there was a rustling sound, and countless poisonous snakes crawled out from the mountains and forests, following the mist towards the shaft.
Soon there were screams that broke the silence of the night, waking up the entire camp.
But he was an unlucky man. He was woken up by the cold at night, only to find that there was a venomous snake in his bed for some reason, which made him scream heartbreakingly.
Then more and more people were awakened, and many people discovered poisonous snakes, and all kinds of exclamations came one after another.
There are also many unlucky people who are directly bitten by venomous snakes.
When panic broke out in the camp, hundreds of black shadows rushed into the camp under the cover of night.
They were strong men dressed in black, holding fire oil in their hands. They rushed into the camp and set fire to it, creating chaos.
"There are some rules!"
Tao Xiaowu, who saw it secretly, couldn't help but nodded slightly and praised.
The most important thing about a night sneak attack is not to kill but to create chaos.
And the best way to create chaos is of course to set fire!
These people understand this very well, which shows that the people organizing and directing are good people and are not messing around.
"These should be the people of Sanyang Sect!"
Tao Xiaowu thought to himself, don't rush to take action now, let's see what kind of movement they can make.
He thought this way, there were venomous snakes everywhere in the camp, which made Xingyuan Camp a mess.
At this time, some tents, stables, etc. were set on fire, and the chaos began to expand.
The night was dark and it was hard to see. The sudden firelight not only failed to provide illumination, but also made people unable to see clearly and added to the confusion.
Coupled with the screams and wails that came from time to time, it became even more panic!
