Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

As the first man knelt down in surrender, more and more low-ranking warriors followed suit.

They knelt on their knees and submitted to the Royal Guards in the most pious manner. Some were terrified and trembling; others lowered their heads and remained silent, as if they were ashamed of their offense against the royal authority.

Looking around the entire battlefield, the entire battlefield was filled with low-level warriors kneeling in surrender, creating a spectacular yet heart-wrenching scene.

Standing on the highest building in the city, the County Magistrate's Mansion, Yamauchi Nakagawa looked into the distance, feeling an endless sadness in his heart.

Seeing that the outcome of the battle was already decided and the situation was hopeless, he knew that he could no longer change it.

However, as a loyal samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate, he had his own pride and beliefs.

He softly sang the oldest Japanese samurai song. His voice was melodious and tragic, as if telling the world about the determination and persistence in his heart.

After singing, he slowly took out a white handkerchief from his arms and carefully wiped the extremely sharp dagger in his hand.

The blade flashed with cold light, reflecting his resolute face.

At this moment, he raised the dagger without hesitation, pointed it at his abdomen, and slashed it hard.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground beneath his feet red. He gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain, but a look of relief appeared on his face.

In this way, he expressed his final loyalty to the Tokugawa shogunate and fulfilled his mission as a samurai.

As his life slipped away, his body gradually fell down.

With the fall of Tosa County Magistrate Yamanouchi Nakagawa, Tosa County was occupied by the advance camp of the Tenchi Alliance.

.........

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless. Wei Xiaobao led a large army of Tiandi troops, riding on the huge Julong and the treasure ships No. 502 and 503, and arrived in Tosa County in a grand manner.

As the fleet gradually approached the shore, Wei Xiaobao stood at the bow with a heavy heart, looking far away, he could see the unfamiliar and challenging land of Tosa. At this time, Brigadier General Xiao walked over quickly and reported to him a sad news: 154 brave and fearless Tiandi Army soldiers were unfortunately killed or injured in the previous landing operation.

When Wei Xiaobao heard this number, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. These soldiers had fought for the Federation of Heaven and Earth without hesitation, but now they were buried in the ground. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with grief and anger.

After a moment of silence, Wei Xiaobao held back his tears and issued an order: "The ashes of these brave soldiers must be brought back to their hometown of Ryukyu to rest in peace. At the same time, their families must be given generous pensions. The federal government must do its best to take care of the families of the martyrs and never let the soldiers shed blood and tears!"

He knows very well that every soldier is the backbone of his family, and their departure will bring endless pain to their families. Only by treating the families of martyrs well can the living soldiers fight with peace of mind and defend their homes. This decision is not only a respect for the deceased, but also a comfort to the living.

Under Wei Xiaobao's firm gaze, the soldiers took action and carefully packed their comrades' ashes into bags, preparing to take them back to Ryukyu.

The next day, the Tiandi Army divided into three groups and set out to the entire Shanhaidao area according to the original plan.

The first route was led by the 1st Brigade and the Osaki Regiment into Iyo County.

The second route was led by the Second Brigade and the Andong Regiment into Hanqi County.

The third route was led by the 3rd Brigade and the Kasai Regiment to attack Awa County.

.........

[Ding Dong][Congratulations to the host for regaining the entire territory of Xihaidao. The newly added territory area is square kilometers, and the current territory value is! ]

The clear and pleasant reminder sound came into Wei Xiaobao's ears like the sound of nature. He stared at the numbers flashing on the virtual screen in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart.

This sudden increase in territory value made Wei Xiaobao so excited that he couldn't help but dance with joy. His originally tense nerves instantly relaxed, and a bright smile spread across his face.

After all, every increase in territory value means the expansion of the sphere of influence under one's control, and now that one has gained an additional 40,000 square kilometers of territory in one go, how can one not be ecstatic?

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao was full of anticipation for the battle report from the front.

The entire Saikaido has been captured, which undoubtedly indicates that the Southern Expedition Division and the Osumi Regiment have successfully completed their mission of joining forces.

In this way, the vast area between the San'in Road and the Sanyo Road and south of the Iwami Mountains should have been completely restored.

In this way, the 1st and 4th Regiments of the Tenchi Army, as well as the Southern Expedition Division and the Osumi Regiment of the Imperial Guard Army that remained here could advance northward by land from the Japanese mainland without any hindrance.

Therefore, at this critical moment, Wei Xiaobao, the supreme commander of the Tiandi Federation, immediately issued an important order: the Imperial Guards Southern Expedition Division was officially renamed the Imperial Guards Iwami Division, and it was expanded to 50,000 people. At the same time, he also ordered the reorganization of most of the surrendered soldiers in Shanyang Road and Shanyin Road to be incorporated into the division.

At the same time, the Osumi Regiment also began to reorganize the surrendered soldiers from Saikaido, with the same strength of 50,000 people, into the Osumi Division of the Imperial Guard.

In this way, the two divisions, totaling 100,000 strong troops, plus the two teams of the Iwami Brigade of the Tiandi Army, together formed a powerful Tiandi Allied Forces Northern Expedition Corps.

This Northern Expedition Army was full of vigor and unstoppable force. They quickly split into two groups and prepared to march north immediately.

Among them, the Iwami Division will set out from Izumo County on the Sanyo Road and launch a fierce offensive towards Hoki County; while the Osumi Division will advance from Suo County on the Sanyo Road and launch a fierce attack on Aki County.

In addition, in order to strengthen the military strength, the navy also urgently transferred back the treasure ships 504 and 505 that had been modified in Ryukyu to assist in the battle. These treasure ships were well-equipped and had strong combat effectiveness, and would surely become a powerful support for the Northern Expedition.

After arranging all the battle deployments, Wei Xiaobao stared at the territory value of more than 40,000 on the screen with great joy. He couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of wealth in his heart, as if he had become an enviable millionaire overnight.

He opened his system character panel with great anticipation and carefully checked the information:

[Host: Wei Xiaobao]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining (Minor Success) {Cultivation}]

[Skills: Divine Movement (Great Mastery), Nine Revolutions Divine Art (First Revolution Elementary), Elementary level of "Hanshan Fist", "Five Elements Sword" not learned, "Alchemy Scripture" not meeting the requirements, "Xuanzhen Mysterious Art" incomplete version]

[Territory value:]

【Warehouse: 1 cubic meter】

[Treasure Chest: 0]

You know, this territory value is the hard currency in the system! Now that I have such a huge amount of money in my hands, can I spend it however I want?

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao suddenly had an idea: Since the territory value is so useful, can I use it to improve my own cultivation?

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he carefully asked the system: "System, upgrade your cultivation."
