Chapter 148 The Ghosts and Gods

"It's rare for you to be so thoughtful in the past." Liang Tao stared at this plain-looking descendant who had always been humble, and said, "I'm afraid you are not only talking about the other three families, but you are also talking about Liang Shuo, right?"

"Grandson dare not." Liang Hui replied.

Liang Tao sneered twice, and then asked, "What do you think of Zhao Mi?"

"Zhao Shu is on the way of the ritual ceremony, looking around the Huaxu country, I am afraid that no one can compare with him." Liang Hui said: "And this person is quite capable and tireless. Now Wei Xiuwen asked him to guard Jianjia Pass. From the distribution of grain and grass, to the preparation of military weapons, to the punishment of soldiers for breaking discipline, and the construction of fortifications and ditches, they must personally inspect and inspect."

"You admire him very much?" Liang Tao raised his eyebrows.

Liang Hui bowed his head and said, "Grandson just thinks that Zhao Mi can be a great leader. Grandfather likes this person, presumably because of his merits in scientific rituals, but grandson thinks it's more than that."

"In your opinion, how can Zhao Mi be used by our Chongxuan Pavilion?" Liang Tao asked as if he was taking a school exam.

Now Liang Hui encountered a difficult problem, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only vaguely say: "Grandfather thought he had a good plan, so grandson doesn't need to say more."

"I'm asking you!" Liang Tao snorted coldly, making Liang Hui secretly startled.

"From my grandson's point of view, Zhao Mi has no intention of wealth and beauty, so he might use power and position to win him over." Liang Hui said, "Zhao Mi intends to do a great job, but without power and position, it will be difficult for him to make a single step."

"Since you see it that way, stay with Zhao Mi and do business." Liang Tao stopped talking nonsense, and the light and shadow on the four-gui mirror quietly dissipated.

After a full quarter of an hour, when there was no movement on the mirror, Liang Hui put away his humility and stared at the pot of solitary orchid with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.

……

"Report! Captain Han Xiaowei's troops have arrived [-] miles away from Chenlu County, defeated the ambushes, and beheaded more than a hundred!"

"Report! The besieging soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom have been killed and retreated by Han Xiaowei's troops! They are currently chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy!"

"Report! Jiuli soldiers and horses have disappeared within a radius of thirty miles of Chenlu County!"

"Report! Huandou people have been found at the southwestern outpost of Jianjiaguan, and the search is being stepped up!"

The urgent military reports were sent back to Jianjiaguan one after another. Zhao Mi sat in the main hall of the mansion with a calm expression on his face. Cao Zuo, who joined the army on the left and right, breathed a sigh of relief, and someone immediately praised:

"Zhao Chang's historical records are as good as God's. It is really consistent with what you said. The Jiuli Nanman set up an ambush just to try to transfer the garrison in the pass."

"It's more than just predicting things like a god? Zhao Changshi summoned ghosts and spirits, and he can have a panoramic view of the movements of Jiuli's soldiers and horses. Naturally, he can defeat the enemy thousands of miles away."

"Extremely great!"

Hearing the compliments from everyone, Zhao Mi waved his hands and said, "You guys are overrated, how can Mr. Zhao have such a great ability! I'm just sitting in the courtyard and waiting for the news of the army to come back...a messenger!"

"Here!" A soldier below carried Dai Yuling on his back and cupped his hands in response.

"Order Han Xiaowei to continue to send scouts to investigate the movement of Ming Jiuli's soldiers and horses, but don't lead most of them to chase too far." Zhao Mi picked up a transfer order, which was stamped with the general's seal:
"There is another matter. The Shang family in Shenhuang County was ordered to pay grain, rice, cloth, and silk. The quantity was insufficient. They even used chaff and straw as grain and rice, and used dirty and damaged cloth to fake new cloth. Their crimes are heinous. Han Xiaowei does not need to return to Jianjiaguan immediately. According to this order, go straight to Shenhuang County and ask the Shang family to replenish the military supplies within two days. If there is any resistance, you will be killed, hang your head at the east gate, and warn the world!"

"Decree!" The messenger did not hesitate, took the order and ran away.

The rest of the soldiers saw that Zhao Shuyun issued such an order lightly, and thought of the former Zhao Changshi who imprisoned the county magistrate, arrested the county guard, and ran rampant in Qingyan County. Wherever he passed, the ghosts and gods retreated, and the officials were terrified. At first, they thought he was a black hand Ruthless style.

However, after this period of time, they all found that Zhao Mi was surprisingly easy to get along with, provided that they handled their official duties well.

"Zhao Changshi." A member of the army asked: "Since you can use ghosts and gods to send messages to Colonel Han, why do you need to issue an order? This will save you from going back and forth, and waste time."

"This is an official business, so of course there must be an official document to do it." Zhao Shu said, "When Xiaowei Han went to Shenhuang County to attack a big family, he had to ask the local officials to cooperate. Otherwise, someone would use my name How can I justify doing evil and running rampant in places?"

Zhao Shu actually learned this technique from the Prince of Xingluo County, Jun Cheng. With the official document sealed, the staff below will have the confidence to do things, and there should be clear instructions on what to do.

After thinking about it, this official document can order thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is easy to overthrow a large local family.Or to put it another way, the summoning of the talisman is to imitate the use of soldiers in the world.

But Zhao Mi didn't use the officials and soldiers in the altar to spread the word. He actually informed Han Xiaowei in advance, and told him not to plunder and implicate innocent people. As long as the Shang family didn't resist with force, he would give them two days to raise military supplies. time.Even if you want to kill, you will only kill the head of the evil.

"There is another matter, please ask Zhao Changshi to clarify my doubts for us." Someone asked: "Since Zhao Changshi can summon ghosts and gods to pass on messages, can he communicate with General Wei? If so, it will save a lot of trouble. "

"Using ghosts and gods to transmit messages is also my first attempt." Zhao Mi said: "This method is far from perfect. Just like letters can be intercepted in the middle, ghosts and gods can also be disturbed by various situations. Especially in fierce battles, fierce The aura is soaring to the sky and filled the wild, and I can't force the ghosts, gods, officials and soldiers to come closer to spread the word."

In fact, Zhao Mi has always wanted to refine a magic weapon similar to the Gangfengyi Banner, but unfortunately the results have been very little, until he personally enlightened the soldiers and hunted down evil spirits with the method of summoning and dispatching, and found that he could use the altar to pass on the soldiers.

It's a pity that when it is implemented, it is still difficult to find out, and every time you call and send troops, you have to go to the altar to practice the law, which is very complicated.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more Zhao Mi admired the person who refined the Gangfeng Post Flag. Remembering that this thing played a major role in the hands of Chi Yundu, maybe the person who refined it was in Cangwu Ridge.

"Zhao Changshi!" A military officer hurried over: "It's not good! Hundreds of prisoners have escaped!"

In the mansion courtyard, there was still a bit of jubilation in the first battle, but this sentence dampened it down.

"Aren't the prison soldiers in the prison city? Can hundreds of people escape?" Zhao Mi asked.

In Jianjiaguan, there is a prison city where exiled prisoners are held. There are soldiers patrolling day and night. The prisoners in the prison work all kinds of heavy labor every day, so it is impossible to escape easily.

"It's the group of criminals who went into the mountain to dig mines." The military officer replied, "I was in urgent need of rocks to repair the city wall. General Wei ordered a group of prisoners to go to the nearby quarry mountain to dig stones."

Zhao Mi picked up the battalion books and looked through them, and said in a cold tone: "Right now, Jianjia Pass is heavily guarded, with constant sentries and inspections. When entering and leaving nearby counties and counties, it is required to verify the way to and from. If the identity is unknown, it will be taken down immediately. As for Speaking of remote villages, there are many precautions against outsiders. Where can these hundreds of prisoners go?"

The officer looked blank. Seeing him like this, Zhao Mi asked again, "Are there any other prisoners in Caishi Mountain?"

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

Zhao Mi pondered for a moment, then said: "These prisoners should not be imprisoned immediately after they come back, I will personally examine them."

Signaling the officers to retreat, Zhao Mi said to Cao Zuo, who joined the army, "What do you guys think?"

"Hundreds of criminals, it's nothing to worry about. Send more scouts to find out the location, and then wait for the opportunity to kill them."

"I'm afraid that these criminals will not get together at all, and they will disperse like birds and beasts in a few days. It would be nice to be a bandit and thief."

"These prisoners have tattooed faces, and they can be recognized immediately when they run into a densely populated place. They have nowhere to hide, and they may go to Jiuli Kingdom instead."

"The barbarians of Jiuli Kingdom may not want these escaped prisoners. Don't forget, there are thousands of prisoners in Jianjia Pass who are the remnants of Chiyun's rebellion!"

"Hmph! I'm talking about the Chiyun gang, who knows if they will collude with Jiuli Kingdom and wait for an opportunity to invade Jianjia Pass?"

"Now that Jianjiaguan has Zhao Changshi in charge, why are you afraid of the rebellion?"

"You guys have been in the south for a long time. Have you ever heard of the magic sword created by the Chiyun Rebellion Party in Xingluo County?"

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

"Hehe, then you probably don't know yet. The person who proposed to suppress the sword's edge with scientific rituals was Zhao Changshi! What about Chiyun's rebellious party? Zhao Changshi is their nemesis!"

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

Cao Zuo, who joined the army, cast admiring glances at Zhao Mi, and Zhao Mi couldn't avoid it, saying: "It's not all because of me to suppress the divine sword with rituals and rituals. However, the leader of the rebellious party and bandits still depends on Liang Guoshi himself to kill. Not to mention the follow-up march, it all depends on General Wei's use of troops, and has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Mi put down the book and asked instead: "I remember that Chi Yundu has rebelled for ten years. Since it is really a remnant of the rebellion, why didn't he take the lead? Why did he stay in Jianjia Pass as a prisoner?"

A master book said: "Zhao Changshi didn't know something. Back then, Chiyun's rebel party pretended to belong to Huaxu Kingdom, with millions of soldiers and civilians. At that time, the government and the people were afraid, lest they would become their own country.

Later, the imperial court separated them for the reason of resettling soldiers and civilians, and then killed all those who resisted.It's a pity that for some reason, the news leaked out, giving the rebellious party a chance to gather a crowd to resist, and even occupied several city walls at one time. "

Zhao Mi asked: "There are many practitioners in the Chiyun Rebellion Party, and there are also those who are highly skilled in magic arts. How did you deal with it in the end?"

The master secretary replied: "We still have to rely on the first seats of each house to make a move. Naturally, the Liang Guoshi is also indispensable. It is said that Liang Guoshi summoned a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to go down to earth, directly tearing down the old Jingcheng city wall, and let the imperial court officers and soldiers come together." Swarm in and pull out the important town of the rebellious party and Chen Bing."

"Old Jingcheng? I passed by before, and there are only ruins covered with weeds and ruins." Zhao Mi 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 rebellious party has been entrenched in Jingcheng for a long time, and the local banditry has become deeply rooted. The root of the banditry cannot be eradicated unless it is burned and killed." , The stone must pass the knife, and the millet must be replaced', which means that a town like the old Jingcheng that was once occupied by the Chiyun rebellion must be killed and abandoned. "

Zhao Mi clenched his fingers and said without changing his face, "Has the imperial court ordered the massacre of the city?"

The chief secretary shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's impossible not to slaughter. The Chiyun rebellious party is especially good at deceiving the people with evil words, and it always coerces the people of the whole place to make rebellion. After several massacres in several towns, the arrogance of the rebellious party was suppressed."

"Since that's the case, why did you let go of the remnants of the chaotic party?" Zhao Mi asked.

"Actually..." The chief secretary couldn't bear Zhao Mi's provocative gaze, so he had to explain: "In fact, few people know whether those prisoners are the remnants of the rebellious party. At that time, many soldiers and civilians fled to various places, and the imperial court searched the countryside and offered rewards widely.

At that time, it was true that a large number of rebels and bandits in hiding were identified, but many innocent people were still affected.Because the Chiyun rebellious party has not been completely wiped out yet, and its legacy still exists. In the past ten years, people have often identified the rebellious party. "

Zhao Mi was calm on the surface, but in his heart, anger gradually grew, and he said calmly: "If things go on like this, it is inevitable that the people will be full of resentment."

The master below and Joining the Army didn't know why, but said: "It's a pity that the Chiyun Rebellion is hiding in Cangwu Ridge. That area is located at the junction of the three countries, and it is inconvenient for the imperial court to send soldiers to encircle and suppress it. Zhao Changshi has a wonderful method, and I don't know if he can break it. The evil law of the rebellious party?"

"At the moment, the most important thing is to deal with the Jiuli Kingdom." Zhao Shu pondered for a moment: "The Chiyun rebellion... I will put aside this matter for now. If they are disciples, they will be temporarily detained. Now I really have no time to take care of them."

Everyone said that they were retreating, and Zhao Shu was about to open the altar to practice the law again, and asked Zhang Liwei to be called by the way.

"What is Zhao Changshi's order?" As soon as Zhang Liwei came to the hall, He Dangguan closed the door firmly from the outside, leaving him and Zhao Mi in the room.Zhang Liwei looked at Zhao Mi's serious expression, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"More than half of the prisoners in Jianjiaguan came from Chiyundu, do you know about this?" Zhao Mi asked as soon as he came up.

Zhang Liwei's heart tightened, he immediately understood that the other party already suspected that he was a member of Chi Yundu.It's just that looking at Zhao Mi's expression now, Zhang Liwei can't tell what he's thinking.

"After I came to Jianjia Pass, I heard about it by chance." Zhang Liwei bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"Then you were recruited to Jianjia Pass to rescue these criminals?" Zhao Mi asked again.

"My subordinates don't understand what Zhao Changshi said." Zhang Liwei suppressed his nervousness.

"Are you worried that our words will be noticed by others?" Zhao Mi tapped his fingers on the table, and a charm flashed on the beam, "I have already set up a ban on the important military aircraft, whether it is to guard against Wu Zhu of Jiuli Kingdom. Gu masters are still monks guarding Huaxu Kingdom."

Zhang Liwei's face changed slightly, and then he heard Zhao Mi say, "I'm sure I've told you to come here. You don't have to continue to hide in front of me. I already knew that you and I were in Zhang Village. Cultivator Chiyundu came and went in secret. That monk can still escape from the earth, right?"
