In the process of marching to Xingyang, Chen Xiang also used the three hundred light messengers to carry out Mingjiao propaganda for the entire army, and even the first three layers of the light divine skill were based on the Shenzhao Sutra and the Blood Sword Sutra and a small part of the Yijin Sutra based on the integration of the preliminary divine skills, and taught the relatively close Sui soldiers and the thousands of Wagang army prisoners and established a Mingjiao missionary group, especially for the Wagang army prisoners, it is also a sacred canon to teach together, Mingjiao is originally a religion that is particularly close to the poor masses. Some of the purposes and slogans were put forward in their psychology, especially in line with their needs, and almost every scripture touched their hearts, and naturally it was easy to spread among the captives of the Wagang army, and soon they all became Mingjiao followers, and some of them were even particularly fanatical, as if they had seen their bosom friends and guiding lights at once, and they became fanatical followers of Mingjiao at once.

Even Shen Luoyan, the captured warlord of the Wagang Army, was also beautiful after listening to the scriptures and sacred scriptures and divine skills of Mingjiao, and her beautiful eyes flashed again and again, which seemed to touch some thoughts in her heart, even if she was a cunning fox with a deep mind, after listening to the purpose of Mingjiao, she was also very inclined to Mingjiao, but because she was still a prisoner, she was embarrassed to give in.

Chen Xiang also sent Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling as special envoys to escort Su Su back to the Dalongtou Mansion in Xingyang, while trying to persuade them to surrender.

Such a task is naturally difficult, but Chen Xiang knows that the fortunes of these two boys have risen, and even if they can't succeed, they can save their lives, so he is relieved to send them boldly.

The officers at all levels of the Sui army were a little disgusted with Mingjiao, because the propaganda and dissemination of Mingjiao would destroy their ability to control ordinary soldiers, but fortunately, while propagating Mingjiao, Mingjiao emphasized military discipline, especially the discipline of obeying orders, so in a short period of time, it made the ability of higher officers to control lower-level soldiers stronger. Naturally, there is no particular resistance.

In ten days, the Ming Sect General Ji and the Ming Sect Holy Book were each simplified into ten short sentences, which were recited by everyone, and the officers and soldiers were treated with the Bright Flame to treat their injuries, and they also gained a lot of goodwill, and completely took root in this team, and even with the military discipline has been formed, Chen Xiang extracted from the Sui army that the virtue is very good, and the 1,000 people who have become Mingjiao disciples serve as the military law team, and he himself released the Wagang Army prisoners who have been brainwashed into Mingjiao disciples. In particular, Shen Luoyan, the military division of the Wagang Army, who had actually been brainwashed, was also released by Chen Xiangli against public opinion, and expressed his willingness to pardon the responsibility of the Wagang Army's rebellion, recruit them, and let them continue to propagate Mingjiao within the Wagang Army.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Chen Xiang left behind a hundred messengers of light, and under the leadership of Yang Zizai, he continued to maintain the normal high-pressure operation of the military law team and further rectify military discipline. He took the remaining two hundred Light Messengers, as well as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, bypassed Xingyang, where the Wagang army was located, and sneaked towards Luokoucang at the other end of the Grand Canal. I'm going to get there.

Xingyang is near Luokoucang, and if the grain in Luokoucang is released, I am afraid that it will be enough for the people of the world to eat for half a year, and it will naturally be able to meet the needs of the hungry people nearby. If the hungry people are satisfied, they will naturally no longer be involved in the Wagang Army, and it will become a plan to draw wages from rebels such as the Wagang Army. As long as the Wagang army can't capture this Luokoucang, the situation of the Sui Dynasty will not be badly transformed, as long as the current situation can be stabilized, and Chen Xiang and Pei Ju are given enough time, they will definitely be able to refresh the politics, sweep away the rebels everywhere, and re-stabilize the rule of the Sui Dynasty.

It's just that I don't know if the officials of Luokoucang can really carry out the order to open a warehouse for disaster relief, and one of the main purposes of Chen Xiang to bring 200 light messengers to go is to supervise the implementation of disaster relief, and if necessary, he can even get rid of the local ruling forces and pull out a team with his own hands.

And if the Wagang army rushes forward and captures Luokoucang, it can not only get a large amount of food, but also cut off the route of the Sui Dynasty's court to the north, and will knock down the last domino, making the world even farther away from betraying the court.

At least Chen Xiang knew that Li Yuan, the Taishou of Taiyuan, was really determined to betray the Sui Dynasty after Luokoucang was captured, and from then on he really laid the foundation for the demise of the Sui Dynasty. Chen Xiang will never let this scene repeat itself.

There are 3,000 troops stationed in Luokoucang, and along the way, in Chen Xiang's opinion, these 3,000 people have loose military discipline, and the chief officer is incompetent, almost all of them are secretly selling the grain in the granary, and then fill the granary with mud and sand, covering it with three or four feet of grain, in order to pass the customs in confusion.

After Chen Xiang sneered, he knew that it was almost difficult to urge the officials here to release grain, because they had already regarded the grain of the empire as their own property.

In addition, the world is now full of famine, and there are hungry people everywhere, especially in the vicinity of Luokoucang, where tens of thousands of hungry people have gathered, eager to get a bite to eat and survive if the empire releases grain for disaster relief. And after getting the news that the empire is providing disaster relief, more hungry people are coming from all over the world to get a chance to survive in Luokoucang.

Looking at this land, Chen Xiang could see a strong amount of resentment and resentment hovering above the sky, and he could see that such a large amount of negative emotions were the source and food of the dragon qi of the last days, which made the dragon qi of the last days continue to increase, and finally devoured the entire dynasty.

It seems that if you want to alleviate such a strong negative emotion, you must use thunderbolt means, but in the process, you must properly protect the food in the hands of these defenders, so as not to make those defenders jump over the wall and burn down or scatter all the granaries, which is really bad.

After having such psychological preparations, Chen Xiang did not hesitate, and took the two hundred light messengers led by Ren Xing, first recruited a thousand relatively strong young men among the hungry people around him, pulled them under his hands, and conducted preliminary training, all of which were familiar with ten sentences of military discipline and ten sentences of Mingjiao scriptures, which can be regarded as a preliminary possession of a small team, and with this team, he has the ability to quickly control the situation.

Chen Xiang now has the world of Xiaoao Jianghu and the world of Lianchengjue, and even the Diablo World is producing food, so it is no problem to feed such a small team of 1,000 people. The same two hundred Light Messengers were leading, basically one person leading five people. In just one day, Chen Xiang took control of this team, and the rest of the things were in the process of daily work, and then trained while doing it.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiang took his edict and Qin Qiong's customs defense book, and took ten light messengers with profound martial arts skills to the yamen of the Taicang Order in Luokoucang, and after handing over the post, he waited quietly. And the other lightbringers. Outside, he continued to train the 1,000 newly recruited elites.

Before tearing up the face with the defenders of the empire, things don't have to be too ugly, there must be a number of courtesies, otherwise they will be enemies of the entire system, which will make the defenders suspicious and startled. There is inheritance and innovation, this is the safe way, otherwise Chen Xiang would not have the confidence to oppose the entire bureaucracy of the Sui Dynasty.

It didn't take long for the Taicang Order to open the middle door. He greeted him very warmly from the inside, and after seeing Chen Xiang, he paid a big salute and looked very enthusiastic: "Humble Liu Dexi." See the National Teacher! ”

Chen Xiang stood up and looked at this Taicang Ling Liu Dexi, this Liu Dexi was very fat and very tall. It can be seen that he was originally a powerful general, and he was once the bodyguard of Yang Guang, and he also made several contributions. is a henchman who Yang Guangxin has been, but in this long period of comfort and **, he has become fat like this, obviously he has been corrupted and degenerate.

However, if he didn't stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling face, Chen Xiang didn't want to completely kill all of these people as soon as he came up, he still had to pull and beat, after all, the local situation was still more familiar with the warehouse here, and if he could use them, he could also make his plan more smoothly. And it is even more important to prevent them from jumping over the wall and setting fire to the food, which is the worst.

Chen Xiang waited for Liu Dexi to finish his salute, then helped him up, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu is really polite, I came this time on the orders of His Majesty, to open a warehouse to release grain, to help the victims, and at the same time to promote the state religion, I hope that Lord Liu can cooperate well, and we will implement His Majesty's will together!" ”

Liu Dexi didn't expect Chen Xiang to explain his intention straight to the point as soon as he came up, and he was also stunned at the moment, raised his head in astonishment and looked at Chen Xiang.

I saw that Chen Xiang's face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like cold stars, and his two handsome eyebrows were like sharp blades, which looked very heroic, and he had an irresistible charm on his body, which made Liu Dexi feel in a trance for a while, and seemed to feel that it was also excellent to listen to the opinions of this so-called national teacher.

After being stunned for a moment, Liu Dexi stretched out his hand and said, "What the national teacher said is very true!" Since it is His Majesty's order, we must naturally complete it as courtiers, and invite the national teacher to speak inside. Chen Xiang was not hypocritical, so he walked forward with Liu Dexi and his ten messengers of light and entered the yamen.

After the two sat down, Liu Dexi also presented some of his own gifts, Chen Xiang took a look, it was not valuable, so he simply accepted it. Liu Dexi saw that Chen Xiang accepted the gift, and his vigilance was even more relaxed, and he began to discuss with Chen Xiang, during which he poured bitter water, talking about all kinds of difficulties, Chen Xiang also responded one by one, as if he understood very much, but His Majesty's order had to be implemented, so the two sides reached an agreement, nominally in full accordance with His Majesty's will, but in fact it was implemented at a discount.

With this attitude, it is already possible, the wounds are torn apart little by little, and if you want to fully grasp the form of this Luokoucang, you have to come little by little. After Chen Xiang completely grasps the situation, it is not what Liu Dexi said.

The two sides enjoyed themselves as the guests of honor, and set up a banquet in the evening, allocated a camp for the 1,000 people led by Chen Xiang, and provided food and grass supplies, so that Chen Xiang successfully planted a nail in Luokoucang. That night, Liu Dexi also provided two beautiful and bewitching dancing girls, but was coldly rejected by Fu Junwu beside Chen Xiang.

The next day, Chen Xiang under the leadership of Liu Dexi, inspected Luokoucang, and roughly understood the situation in Luokoucang, and then with the cooperation of Liu Dexi, he ordered his subordinates to open a warehouse and inspect a few tons of grain, all of which were full of good grain.

In the afternoon, it was under the auspices of Chen Xiang. Ten porridge sheds were set up and warehouses were opened for disaster relief. Moreover, when every victim receives the porridge and rice, he will be asked by the soup maker to recite the ten versions of the Mingjiao scriptures, and whoever reads them quickly and smoothly can get the porridge and rice first, so that these ten Mingjiao scriptures quickly spread among the refugees.

What can ten porridge sheds do? It's just that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of hungry people, it can't solve any problems at all, but Chen Xiang doesn't care so much. As long as he starts, no one can stop him.

These ten porridge shacks are not only handing out porridge and rice, but also selecting strong people from them, and collecting them in the barracks, and for every 300 people collected, a light messenger will lead the team, and use the fifteen Jingzhuang collected before as deputies to receive and train these 300 refugees, and ask Liu Dexi to provide enough food and grass. to feed the barracks. And the ten porridge shacks only provided food for the old, weak, sick and disabled who could barely starve to death.

In one day, Chen Xiang accepted 3,000 people to the camp, although Liu Dexi felt a little surprised, but it was acceptable. Luokoucang was a huge granary that could supply the entire empire, and the supply of these 3,000 people could really only be regarded as a drizzle.

In the process, Chen Xiang also belittled more than a dozen local defender soldiers and asked Liu Dexi to preside over discipline. lest there be unpleasantness on both sides. Liu Dexi also counted on this national teacher to say a few good words for himself, and he was transferred from the warehouse that the thieves wanted to seize, so he was naturally willing to listen to Chen Xiang's opinion. Strictly control your subordinates, and do not allow trouble.

On the third day, Chen Xiang suggested that his own men should help the defenders to repay their kindness and mend the rift caused by yesterday's denunciation of the soldiers.

Liu Dexi thought that it was indeed very difficult for the 3,000 refugees to control, and it was not a waste of food to help with some work, so he agreed.

At the same time, Chen Xiang recruited another 3,000 refugees, also led by the Lightbringer, to train in the morning and help the local defenders in the afternoon.

By the tenth day, all the defenders had more than five refugee soldiers to help them with their work, and the entire situation in Luokoucang was completely in Chen Xiang's hands.

On the morning of the eleventh day, Chen Xiang suddenly took action, ordered all the troops to move, and captured all the defenders, at this time Chen Xiang's men already had 15,000 refugee soldiers, although they lacked training, but they had the core of the Lightbringer, and they were barely able to command.

Early in the morning, Liu Dexi was shocked by this shocking news, and he hurried to the big school field where the defenders were bound, wanting to see what the so-called Chen Xiang Guoshi wanted to do! You must know that over the years, Liu Dexi has been in cahoots with these defenders, and has committed a lot of dirty holes, if these defenders confess themselves again, then their future will be over!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the school, he was arrested by Chen Xiang and said, "Lord Liu, you are already late, and your crimes have been fully accused." With that, Chen Xiang set up a high platform, ordered all the public officials in Luokoucang to be bound and detained on the high platform, and then in front of all the refugees, directly started the public trial, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and soon more than 500 of the 3,000 defenders were sentenced to death, including Liu Dexi. The others were all punished one by one in accordance with the laws of the Great Sui.

After the trial, in front of those refugees, the heads of those sentenced to death were cut off, and the bright red blood and rolling heads suddenly vented all the resentment and dissatisfaction in the hearts of the refugees, and countless people shouted frantically and howled loudly, as if begging their deceased relatives to witness the fate of these corrupt officials.

At this time, Chen Xiang looked at the many refugees again, and found that the negative energy luck they had formed had been evacuated under the more than 500 heads, and almost instantly temporarily regained the hearts of the people.

It seems that killing corrupt officials is the best way to gain popular support. After taking full control of Luokoucang, Chen Xiang gathered all the wealth looted by the defenders and prepared to use it as the starting capital for other plans in the future. What he didn't expect was that these defenders had actually hoarded a very large amount of wealth, and roughly estimated, I am afraid that there were 5,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver!! That's almost a year's worth of taxes for a state!

After completely clearing these defenders, Chen Xiang commanded 15,000 people to maintain order, opened 300 porridge sheds, recruited a large number of young people to renovate the warehouse, strengthened fire prevention measures, and strengthened the warehouse management that had been much lax.

The current Mingjiao has formed a very strict organizational structure, and is strictly managed by military discipline, which seems to be in good order, and there is no situation of self-theft at all, so that the management of Luokoucang is much stronger than that of the original regular army.

Every morning and evening, Chen Xiang would sit on the tower, leading all the people to recite the Mingjiao scriptures, under the influence of his powerful peach blossom succubus technique, under the innate mass guidance of the Mingjiao, the Mingjiao spread very fast, just a few days, the vicinity of Luokoucang was already full of Mingjiao disciples.

They also recruited refugees to reclaim some of the nearby land, and even built many water conservancy facilities without finding anything to do, with the aim of finding something to do for the refugees and treating them with food.

Most of these refugees are from the north. The imperial court was defeated in the three eastward expeditions to Goryeo, and later the Turkic troops went south, and the persecuted Emperor Yang of Sui had to go south in a hurry, so there is a situation where the court of the Sui Dynasty is constantly decadent and even perished, which also caused a large number of people who originally lived in the north to flee, causing this wave of refugees.

Later, the Turks established two or three puppet Han regimes in the north, and some climate was indeed formed. At this time, Chen Xiang was facing these refugees who had left their homeland and their northern homeland.

It's just that there is not much spare land near Luokou, and there are simply not enough refugees to resettle, Chen Xiang had to recruit a large number of soldiers again, and began to train the army near Luokoucang, even if it was a lack of weapons and equipment, he first trained with wooden sticks and other things, and directly recruited an army of 250,000 people, and there were still 6,700,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, Chen Xiang also organized, began to study the classics of Mingjiao, and learned military discipline, so that they all became believers in Mingjiao. Most of them also trained blacksmiths, craftsmen, business, and other common sense, and began to flourish here in Luokou, using the family property of the defenders confiscated by Chen Xiang as capital, and manufacturing and commerce as their own way of making a living.

In this way, nearly one million displaced people in the north were completely absorbed by him with the support of Chen Xiang's thunderous means and the abundant grain and grass in Luokoucang, and he gathered an army of 250,000 people, thus solving the hidden danger and mastering the strength, but in this way, the grain prices in the northern provinces, which originally relied on the grain supply of Luokoucang, began to increase significantly.

Chen Xiang also sent a newly formed caravan to go out to sell the grain from Luokoucang, and then exchanged the money for some local products, which not only exercised the caravan and formed a trade route, but also stabilized the price of grain, so that the north could maintain a stable situation. If the opportunity is right, we should seize every opportunity to spread Mingjiao, develop followers, increase influence, and form a new popular base and source of information.

A month later, Chen Xiang was still training in Luokoucang, and at the same time received the news that Qin Qiong's army had been in place, and mixed Qin Qiong's 10,000 troops with his own 250,000 troops, and returned to the furnace for training together, and strengthened the edification of Mingjiao and strengthened ideological control.

At the same time, in Jiangdu City, Pei Ju has taken over the post of prime minister, fully encompassing the support of Dugu Valve, Yuwen Valve, etc., and also attracting some people from the Demon Gate to join the court, gaining support, and because he will urge the emperor to return to the court, he has been supported by the soldiers of Guanzhong, and relying on the support of Du Fuwei, Li Jing, Yue Buqun and other civil and military generals of other factions to stabilize the government, properly arrange the soldiers who are nostalgic for Jiangnan, and fully absorb the heroes from all over Jiangnan, wave 500,000 people, and begin to slowly march northward. The preparatory class teacher returned to the court.

Almost all the people in the world are paying attention to this matter, if Yang Guang can return to Chang'an City smoothly, then the heart of the world's heroes will be able to settle down a little, and they will not rebel, but if Yang Guang is actually blocked by the Wagang army and can't return north, then the world's heroes will take advantage of the situation and completely overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty!
