"It's rare to see you think like this in the past." Liang Tao stared at this mediocre-looking descendant who had always been humble and unremarkable, and said, "I'm afraid you're not just talking about the other three families, but also about Liang Shuo, right?" ”

"Grandchildren don't dare." Liang Hui replied.

Liang Tao sneered twice, and then asked, "Zhao Xiao, what do you think?" ”

"Zhao Huang is on the way to the ritual and law, looking around the Huaxu country, I am afraid that no one can compare with him." Liang Hui said: "And this person is quite capable of doing things, tireless and hard, now Wei Xiuwen asked him to guard Pujia Pass, he went up to dispatch grain and grass, prepare military weapons, down to the soldiers to violate discipline and punishment, and build fortresses and ditches, he had to personally inquire and inspect." ”

"You admire him?" Liang Taoying raised his eyebrows.

Liang Hui lowered his head and said, "Grandson just thinks that Zhao Xiao can be a big responsibility." The grandfather took a fancy to this man, thinking that it was because of his scientific skills, but the grandson felt that it was more than that. ”

"Then according to you, how can we make Zhao Xiao use it for our Chongxuan Pavilion?" Liang Tao asked as if he were taking a school exam.

Liang Hao encountered a problem this time, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say vaguely: "Grandfather has a good plan for coming, and his grandson doesn't need to say much." ”

"I'm asking you!" Liang Tao snorted coldly, making Liang Hao secretly frightened.

"In the eyes of his grandson, Zhao Huang has no intention of being rich and beautiful, or he can use his position of power to entrap him." Liang Yan said: "Zhao Xiao has the heart to do a great cause, but if he does not have a position of power, it will be difficult to move an inch. ”

"Since you see it this way, stay by Zhao Xiao's side to do things." Liang Tao didn't talk nonsense anymore, and the light and shadow on the Sigui mirror quietly dissipated.

After a full quarter of an hour, there was no movement on the mirror, and Liang Hui put away his humility and stared at the pot of lone branch of the orchid, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

……

"Report! Captain Han's headquarters has arrived twenty miles outside Chenlu County, defeated the ambush soldiers, and beheaded more than 100 people! ”

"Report! The soldiers and horses besieging the city of Jiuli have been killed by Captain Han! We are currently chasing down the remnants of the enemy! ”

"Report! There are no Jiuli soldiers and horses within a radius of thirty miles from Chenlu County! ”

"Report! The sentry post in the southwest of Pujia Pass has detected the traces of Huandoumin's haunts and is stepping up the search! ”

The military situation emergency report continued to be transmitted back to Pujia Pass, Zhao Huang sat in the main hall of the mansion, with a calm face, and Cao Zuo, who joined the army left and right, breathed a sigh of relief, and someone immediately praised:

"Zhao Chang's history is like a god, and it is really consistent with what you said, Jiuli Nanman set up an ambush in order to try to transfer the garrison in the pass."

"What is it like God? Zhao Changshi summoned ghosts and spirits, and the movements of the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom were in full view, and he could naturally break the enemy thousands of miles away. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhao Xiao heard everyone's praise, waved his hand and said: "You guys have a good reputation, how can Zhao have such a great ability!" I'm just sitting in the courtyard waiting for the military intelligence to come back...... Heralds! ”

"In!" A soldier below wore a feather order on his back and answered with his hand.

"Order Captain Han to continue to send detectives to find out the movements of Jiuli's soldiers and horses, but don't lead most of them to pursue too far." Zhao Xiao picked up a copy of the order, which was stamped with the general's seal:

"In another matter, the Shang family of Shenhuang County was ordered to pay for grain, rice and cloth, but the quantity was insufficient, and even used bran straw as grain and rice, and used dirty and dirty cloth to fake new cloth, which was a great crime. Captain Han did not have to return to Pujiaguan immediately, and went straight to Shenhuang County on this order, asking the Shang family to replenish the military supplies within two days. If there is resistance, kill and hang the head at the east gate to warn the world! ”

"Order!" Without the slightest hesitation, the herald took the order and ran away.

The rest of the army saw that Zhao Xiaoyun gave such an order lightly, thinking of the previous Zhao Changshi prisoner county order, arresting the county guard, and rampaging through Qingyan County, where the ghosts and gods retreated, and the officials were frightened, they originally thought that he was a ruthless faction.

However, after these days, they all found that Zhao Xiao was surprisingly easy to get along with, provided that they did their official business well.

"Zhao Changshi." One of the soldiers asked, "Since you can use the ghosts and gods to send a message to Captain Han, why do you have to give an order?" In this way, it will not take hours to go back and forth. ”

"This is official business, so naturally you must have an official letter to act." Zhao Xiao said: "Captain Han went to Shenhuang County to attack a big family, and he always had to ask the local officials to cooperate. Otherwise, if someone acts in my name and runs amok in the place, how shall I defend it? ”

Zhao Xiao's hand was actually learned from Wang Juncheng of Xingluo County, and there are official documents stamped, and the people below have the confidence to do things, and there is a clear instruction on what to do.

After thinking about it, this official document can command thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is easy to overturn and ruin a large local household, and command and dispatch are like fingers, which is not much different from the practice of Fu Gong and the summoning of soldiers. In other words, the summoning of the law is to imitate the use of soldiers in the world.

But Zhao Huang didn't use the altar officials to pass the word, he actually informed Captain Han in advance, and instructed him not to set up for plunder, and to involve innocents, as long as the Shang family did not resist by force, they would be given two days to raise military supplies. Even if you want to kill, you will only punish the evil.

"There is another matter, please ask Zhao Changshi to solve our doubts." Someone asked: "Since Zhao Changshi can summon ghosts and gods to spread the word, can he exchange news with General Wei?" If you could, it would save you a lot of trouble. ”

"Passing on the word through ghosts and gods, I'm also trying it for the first time." Zhao said: "This method is far from complete. Just as letters can be intercepted in the middle of the process, the messages of spirits and spirits can be disturbed by various circumstances. Especially on the battlefield where the fighting is fierce, the ferocious aura is soaring to the sky, and I can't force the ghost and god soldiers to get close and spread the word. ”

Zhao Huang has actually always wanted to refine magic tools similar to the Gangfeng Post Banner, but unfortunately he has had little success, until he personally ignited the soldiers and searched for demons and evil spirits by summoning them, and found that he could use the officials of the altar to spread the word.

It's a pity that it was implemented, and it was found that it was still difficult, and every time the troops were summoned, they had to go to the altar to practice the law, which was extremely difficult.

The higher the cultivation, the more Zhao Xiao admired the person who refined the Gangfeng Post Banner, remembering that this thing had played a major role in the hands of Chiyundu, maybe the person who refined the weapon was in the Cangwu Mountains.

"Zhao Changshi!" One of the officers hurriedly came running: "Oh no! Hundreds of convicts have escaped! ”

There was still a little bit of joy and fire in the courtyard of the first battle, but it was colded by this sentence.

"Aren't the prisoners in the prison city? How many more people can escape? Zhao Xiao asked.

There was a prison city where the exiled prisoners were held in Pujia Pass, which was guarded by armor soldiers day and night, and the prisoners in it worked hard every day, so it was said that it was impossible to escape easily.

"It's the convicts who went into the mountains to open mines." The military officer replied: "In the past, the city wall was urgently needed to repair the city wall, and General Wei ordered a group of prisoners to go to the nearby quarry mountain to dig stones. ”

Zhao Xiao picked up the military books of each battalion and flipped through them, and his tone was slightly cold: "At present, the area around Pujia Pass is heavily guarded and sentry is constantly being sent, and the entry and exit of neighboring counties and counties require the approval of the travel guide, if the identity is unknown, it will be taken down immediately." As for remote villages, there are many precautions against outsiders. Where can these hundreds of convicts go? ”

The military officer looked dazed, and Zhao Xiao saw him like this, so he asked again: "Are there other prisoners in the quarry mountain?" ”

"There are about 100 more people who are currently being escorted back."

Zhao Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Don't take this batch of prisoners into the prison city immediately after they come back, I will personally examine them." ”

Signaling the military officials to retreat, Zhao Xiao said to Cao Zuo, who was present to join the army: "What do you think? ”

"There are hundreds of prisoners, don't worry about it, just send more scouts to find out the location, and then wait for the opportunity to kill."

"I'm afraid that these criminals won't be able to get together at all, and they will be scattered in a few days, so it's good to be rogue thieves."

"These prisoners have a dark face, and they can be recognized immediately when they run to a densely populated place, and they have nowhere to hide, but they may go to the Jiuli Kingdom."

"The barbarians of the Jiuli Kingdom may not want this gang of escaped prisoners. Don't forget, thousands of the prisoners in Pujia Pass are the remnants of the Red Cloud Rebellion! ”

"Humph! I'm talking about this group of Chiyun Chaos Party, who knows if they will collude with the Jiuli Kingdom and wait for an opportunity to invade Pujia Pass? ”

"Now that Zhao Changshi is in charge of Pujiaguan, why are you afraid of the attack of the chaotic party?"

"You have been in the south for a long time, I don't know if you have heard of what kind of divine sword the Red Cloud Rebellion Party once made in Starfall County?"

"I've heard a little, I heard that Liang Shuo, the eldest prince of Chongxuan Pavilion, died under the sword of the chaotic party."

"Hehe, then you shouldn't know that the person who proposed to use the ritual ritual to suppress the edge of the divine sword was Zhao Changshi! What about the Red Cloud Rebellion? Zhao Changshi is their nemesis! ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

Cao Zuo, who joined the army, cast admiring glances at Zhao Xiao, and Zhao Huang was not easy to avoid, and said: "It is not all my credit to suppress the divine sword with scientific rituals, at that time, there were more than a dozen colleagues in the Zhenzhen Pavilion to assist, and the leader of the chaotic party and bandits still relied on Liang Guoshi to personally kill him." Not to mention the follow-up march, thanks to General Wei's troops, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Zhao Xiao put down the book and asked instead: "I remember that it has been ten years since Chiyundu was in turmoil, since it is really a remnant of the chaotic party, why don't you go straight to the head?" Do you want to stay in Pujia Pass as a prisoner? ”

A master said: "Zhao Changshi didn't know that the Chiyun Rebellion Party pretended to belong to Huaxu State, with millions of soldiers and civilians, and the government and the opposition were afraid at that time, lest they would be self-proclaimed.

Later, the imperial court separated them on the grounds of relocating soldiers and civilians, and then killed all those who resisted. It's a pity that for some reason the rumors leaked, so that the chaotic party had the opportunity to gather people to resist the adversity, and it once occupied several cities. ”

Zhao Huang asked: "There are many cultivators in the Red Cloud Rebellion Party, and there are also people with advanced sorcery attainments, how do you deal with them in the end?" ”

The master replied: "It still depends on the head of each pavilion to make a move, and naturally that Liang Guoshi is indispensable." It is said that at that time, Liang Guoshi summoned a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to go down to earth and directly tore open the walls of the old Jingcheng, so that the imperial court officials and soldiers swarmed in and pulled out the important town of the rebellious party Chen Bing. ”

"Old Jingcheng? I've been there before, and all that's left is weedy and ruined. Zhao Huang said: "Why did the imperial court abandon the old city and find another place to build a new city?" ”

"Your Majesty has a decree, the chaotic party has been entrenched in Jingcheng for a long time, and the local banditry has been deepened, and the source of chaos and bandits cannot be eradicated unless they are burned and killed." The main book said: "Later, there was a local ballad, which sang 'The thatch should be overheated, the stone should be overcuted, and the grain should be replanted', which said that the town that had been entrenched by the Red Cloud Rebellion Party like the old Jingcheng must be killed and abandoned. ”

Zhao Xiao's five fingers tightened, and his face did not change and said: "The imperial court ordered the slaughter of the city?" ”

The master shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you don't slaughter, you can't do it, the Red Cloud Rebellion Party is especially good at bewitching the public, and it is always necessary to coerce the people in a place to make trouble." It took a few killings in several towns to suppress the arrogance of the rebellious party. ”

"If that's the case, then why did you let go of the remnants of the rebellious party later?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"Actually......" The master couldn't bear Zhao Xiao's compelling gaze, so he had to explain: "In fact, few people know whether those prisoners are the remnants of the rebellious party. It is nothing more than that the leaders of the rebellious party fled into Cangwuling, many soldiers and civilians fled to various places, and the imperial court searched the countryside and awarded rewards.

At that time, a large number of rebellious bandits who were hiding were indeed identified, but many innocent people were still affected. In the past 10 years, people have often identified the rebellious party, and if the officials in various localities do not have the intention to investigate it carefully, they will be exiled to Pujiaguan as a prisoner. ”

Zhao Xiao was silent on the surface, but anger gradually grew in his heart, and he said indifferently: "In the long run, it is inevitable that the people's resentment will boil." ”

The main book below and the army did not know why, but said: "It's a pity that the Red Cloud Rebellion Party is hidden in Cangwuling, and that area is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and it is inconvenient for the imperial court to send troops to encircle and suppress it from all sides." Zhao Changshi's magic method is superb, I don't know if he can break the demon law of the chaotic party? ”

"At present, we still have to focus on dealing with Jiuli Kingdom." Zhao Xiao pondered for a moment: "Red clouds chaotic party...... The matter was put aside for the time being, and I sent letters to the counties and counties to tell them to be on guard, and if they were to be taken prisoners, they would be temporarily taken into custody. Now I really can't be idle. ”

Everyone said that they were retreating, and Zhao Huang was ready to open the altar again, and by the way, he asked Lieutenant Zhang to come.

"What does Zhao Changshi command?" As soon as Lieutenant Zhang came to the hall, He Dangguan closed the door firmly from the outside, and he and Zhao Huang were left in the room. Lieutenant Zhang looked at Zhao Xiao's expression solemn and slightly gloomy, and his heart was faintly uneasy.

"More than half of the prisoners in Pujiaguan are from Chiyundu, do you know about this?" Zhao Xiao came up and asked.

Lieutenant Zhang's heart tightened, and he immediately understood that the other party had already suspected that he was a member of Chiyun Capital. It's just that looking at Zhao Xiao's expression now, Lieutenant Zhang can't tell what he's thinking.

"After my subordinates came to Pujia Pass, I heard about it by chance." Lieutenant Zhang bowed his head and arched his hand.

"Then you were recruited to come to Pujia Pass to rescue these prisoners?" Zhao Xiao asked again.

"What Zhao Changshi said, his subordinates don't understand." Lieutenant Zhang pressed his nervousness.

"Are you worried that others will notice us when we speak?" Zhao Xiao's fingers tapped on the table, and a spell flashed on the beam, "The military plane is heavy, I have already set a ban, whether it is to guard against the Wuzhu Gu Master of the Jiuli Kingdom, or to guard against the Pavilion Monk of the Huaxu Kingdom." ”

Lieutenant Zhang's face changed slightly, and then he heard Zhao Xiao say: "I asked you to come, I am completely sure." You don't have to continue to hide in front of me, as early as when I was in Qiaozhang Village, I already knew that you were secretly dealing with the Chiyundu monks. The monk will still be on the loose, right? ”
