Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 94 The first thing to do when entering the city, kill!

"Yes, now in the city..."

Sui Maoxiang had been to the battlefield in the past and was the highest-ranking official in the city. In the past few days, he had become familiar with the situation in Qingzhou Prefecture.

After ten days of fighting, the defenders in the city suffered heavy losses.

The system has long been in extreme chaos.

The defeated soldiers of Shandong camp and the garrison troops outside Qingzhou city.

There are bodyguards for the rich and powerful in the city as well as young and strong men from ordinary families.

That adds up to 35,000 people.

After distribution, there were less than 10,000 people in one city wall.

Some reserve forces should also be kept just in case.

But the good thing is that after ten days of fighting, both the original soldiers of the Shandong camp and the garrison troops of the guards have undergone a complete transformation.

Can be called elite.

Even the young and strong people who are temporarily brought in can be used.

"Where is the prefect of Qingzhou?"

"My Lord, on the third day of the siege, the Qingzhou governor, Liu, was killed while fighting on the city wall with the soldiers and civilians."

"Died in the line of duty..."

"Please remember this for me. When judging the merits after the battle, mention it for Lord Liu."

Jia Cong nodded, then looked around at the scene on the city wall.

The brain works rapidly.

"Have all the wealthy and powerful people in the city sent people up to help defend the city?"

"This……"

Sui Maoxiang hesitated for a moment.

"There are eight wealthy and powerful families in Qingzhou City, and five of them have sent people here."

"We also took out a lot of food..."

"When I sent people to ask for help from the remaining three families, Chen, Wei, and Guan, they said that they were short of manpower and did not send anyone."

"My Lord, these three families have people in the court. One is a relative of the cabinet minister Wei, and the other two have Hanlin and imperial envoys in their families."

Sui Maoxiang quietly reminded everyone of the relationships behind the three companies.

"Humph, whenever the White Lotus rebels capture a town, they have to burn, kill, and loot to maintain morale."

"These three families refused to defend the city..."

Jia Cong sneered and looked towards the city.

"According to this order, the three families of Chen, Wei, and Guan in Qingzhou City have colluded with the White Lotus Rebellion and are planning to rebel. Their property will be confiscated and their clans will be exterminated!"

"Two parts of the confiscated property will be given to the five families who assisted in defending the city to compensate for their losses."

"The remaining 80% will be distributed to all those who participated in the battle on the city wall. Ten taels will be distributed to each person. For those who died in the battle, an additional 20 taels will be given to their families!"

"Mobilize another 30,000 young men in the city for me!"

"Tell them that anyone who participates in defending the city will be given 10 taels of silver first, and if they unfortunately die in battle, they will receive 20 taels of silver as compensation!"

"I will personally keep an eye on this money. Anyone who dares to embezzle it will be punished by the three families!"

……

"I will obey your orders!"

Sui Maoxiang didn't expect that the first thing Jia Cong did after taking over the command of the city was to kill people.

Relatives of the cabinet ministers, Hanlin Academy Hanlin and the Censorate Imperial Envoy.

Even he, a military general and earl, was unwilling to provoke him easily.

Civil servants have always been like a hornet's nest, one dig attracts a whole bunch.

But think about the bustling Jiangnan area.

Sui Maoxiang was suddenly shocked.

Those three families have been making a lot of sarcastic remarks in the city these days.

Now, retribution has come, and a large reward has been given.
Not to mention 30,000 young and strong people, even 50,000 young and strong people would not be a problem.

After breaking through his innate martial arts, Sui Maoxiang had never felt so happy in the Shandong camp for several years.

As he said this, he led his personal soldiers and rushed towards the three families with murderous intent.

……

夜晚
Qingzhou Prefecture
[Life and death, disaster and fortune, cause and effect will have their own retribution, command the ghost soldiers under the seat of the City God of Daxing County! ]

[Life and death, disaster and fortune, cause and effect will have their own retribution, command the ghost soldiers under the seat of the City God of Daxing County! ]

[Life and death, disaster and fortune, cause and effect will be rewarded, command the ghost soldiers under the seat of the City God of Daxing County to lead! ]

Fifty brilliant voices rang out in my mind.

Fifty scrolls slowly faded away.

In front of Jia Cong, there were forty-seven ghost soldiers neatly arranged.

There are also three ghost soldiers commanders.

"Greetings, my lord!"

A moment later, all the ghost soldiers bowed in unison.

"Get up, the rest of you go into the seal and wait for orders."

Jia Cong summoned the Shinto seal and collected the newly added ghost soldiers. In Shandong, the White Lotus rebels were everywhere.

There are also a large number of refugees.

Along the way, Jia Cong led his troops to suppress more than 100,000 rebels.

In addition to the merits, there are also wronged souls and evil spirits.

Whenever a group of White Lotus rebels was suppressed, Jia Cong would secretly leave some ghost soldiers behind after the army set out.

Wait for the wronged soul to appear, capture and suppress it.

This was originally a job that the royal family would send out to clear up after every major disaster or war.

Jia Cong got there first.

On the one hand, it can prevent them from harming innocent lives on the spot and accumulate merits.

On the one hand, it transforms ghost soldiers.

When they left the capital, there were only six teams, each with thirty-six ghosts, for a total of more than two hundred ghost soldiers.

There are now more than thirty teams, with a total of more than 1,200 statues.

There are still more than a thousand evil spirits suppressed in the Shinto seal, waiting to be transformed after Jia Cong has enough divine power.

It has two forms, day and night, and can also restrain evil spirits.

With the same number of people, they are stronger than Emperor Kaiyuan’s Yulin Guards and are loyal to Jia Cong.

"The divine power required to transform ghost soldiers has been reduced because of merit..."

"Or the priesthood is close to the seventh rank..."

Jia Cong thought silently in his heart.

Originally, it took five divine powers to transform a ghost soldier, and ten to lead a ghost soldier.

Recently, Jia Cong discovered that not only had his divine power recovery speed increased significantly.

Even the consumption of transformed ghost soldiers is gradually decreasing.

Nowadays, it takes three divine powers to confer the title and transform an ordinary ghost soldier, and the commander of the ghost soldiers only needs six divine powers!

……

"Cong'er, have you rested?"

Just then, Baochai's voice was heard outside the door.

"Sister Bao? You haven't rested yet, come on first."

Baochai was wearing a sky blue tasseled skirt with crystal dragon horns on her head.

A graceful and elegant aura comes over you.

He was holding a tray in his hand with some extremely exquisite pastries on it.

"I saw that you didn't eat anything tonight, so I went to the kitchen to make it."

"Let's pad your belly first."

Place the pastries on the tray one by one on the table.

"What's the matter, Sister Bao?"

Jia Cong sat down, tasted them one by one, and asked casually.

"I always feel like there's something wrong with the White Lotus Sect's innate warrior I met today."

As Baochai spoke, the Canglan Mirror appeared in her palm.

A flash of blue light fell, and two innate warriors who were suppressed in broad daylight appeared on the ground.

"With my strength, suppressing two martial arts masters is not a problem, but the strength of these two people..."

"It's much weaker than I thought!"

"weak?"

A hidden light flashed in Jia Cong's eyes.

He looked towards the two innate warriors with a thoughtful expression.

"Pseudo-innate?"

"No...it can be considered a kind of pseudo-innate, but it is much stronger than the method used by Beijing Palace to stimulate potential with secret medicine."

"Sister Bao, if I'm not mistaken."

“These five innate beings of the White Lotus Sect should have forcibly broken through by taking a powerful medicine that increased their Qi and blood in a short period of time.”

"The meridians are obviously damaged, the Qi is insufficient, and the physique is slightly weak."

"Can you still break through by force?"

Baochai looked surprised.

"In theory, yes. The key to martial arts practice is tempering. When the acquired true qi is tempered to the extreme, it will breed the innate true qi, and then comprehend the will of martial arts!"

"This step requires a certain amount of talent. If you don't have talent."

"Forcibly increasing one's true qi with the Qi and Blood Medicine will also give one a certain chance of forcibly breaking through the realm."

"Even if there are ten peak post-natal warriors, it may not be possible for one to come out."

"The meridians of these two people are severely damaged. This should be the sequelae of experiencing multiple forced breakthroughs."

"Speaking of which, this method is not Daqian's..."

"Thanks to Sister Bao, I have guessed what the White Lotus Sect is planning this time."

Jia Cong chuckled.
