Chapter 49 Blood Rain in Fucheng
Looking at it, there are soldiers in twos and threes on the city wall.

"These cults have strong seductive power and are the best at gathering people,"

Xun Shaoyu said coldly, "If you let it go, you may gather more than ten thousand people."

"One day will exceed ten thousand, two days, three days... thirty thousand, fifty thousand... it's all unknown!"

Those old monks are sophisticated and not enterprising.

Of course I don't want to, and I won't take chestnuts from the fire.

However, they did not want to think about the possibility that the Vacuum Sect would take full control of Jinping Mansion.

As the first temple in Jinping, Ci'an Temple has huge potential influence.

How could he not become a thorn in the side of the Vacuum Cult?

At that time, everyone was a swordsman, and I was a fish and meat, ready to be slaughtered by others!
"Ci'an Temple can defeat thousands of thieves, but that doesn't mean it can defeat tens of thousands or tens of thousands of thieves."

"Even if we summon the incense crowd, it won't help."

Ci'an Temple has a profound foundation in Jinping Mansion, with tens of thousands of incense sticks.

If it weren't for the Vacuum Sect, it would be coming in force.

Ci'an Temple was caught off guard and was unable to summon the incense crowd.

These thousands of thieves may not be in the eyes of Ci'an Temple.

Mingyuan and other monks, as Xun Shaoyu's confidants, had their interests tied to Xun Shaoyu.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one can prosper and the other can prosper together, and one can lose both.

Otherwise, Xun Shaoyu would not have chosen only these ten monks among hundreds of monks.Used to suppress and gather the followers of these vacuums.

Only these people can truly reassure him.

Don't think it's impossible to suppress more than 200 soldiers with a dozen people.

These two to three hundred people were at most farmers armed with weapons.

There are many people who dare to fight, but there may not be many.

What's more, the most common thing among people is the herd mentality.

As long as you strictly guard against it, and suppress it as soon as it shows signs, it is not so difficult to tame it.

This is like robbery. Often two or three gangsters armed with a knife can easily intimidate dozens or hundreds of people.

Slavery and conformity, as long as they don't threaten their lives.

The limits of these people's tolerance are terrifying.

Monk Mingyuan said, "Uncle Master, how do we enter the city?"

How to get in, how to get in, there are many doorways in between!
If there is a big fanfare, it will lead to a wolf entering the tiger's mouth.

After all, 200 soldiers are the majority.To say more is not too much, to say less is not too much.

The strength of nearly two Centuries is not a force that is easy to ignore at any time or anywhere.

Unfortunately, the loyalty of these soldiers cannot be trusted.He also needs to be prepared for any counterattack by his soldiers anytime and anywhere.

Xun Shaoyu looked at the city gate and walls, and said coldly, "Of course... we're going in!"

…………

Xicheng, gate tower,
Several corpses lay on the ground.

Puddles of blood flowed across the ground.

Xun Shaoyu had a horizontal sword straddling his waist, and he was wearing a gray robe, stained with blood and forming blood scabs.

He looked indifferently at the ferocious heads beside his feet.

The situation in the city was unstable, resulting in weak defense forces at each city gate.It is not even enough to form a hundred-man army, with a maximum of 30 city patrol soldiers.

Xun Shaoyu led several martial monks with outstanding martial arts, climbed the steep rock, and made a surprise attack on Xicheng.

These guards did not even have a chance to light the beacon tower, and they all became the dead souls of Xun Shaoyu.

Several warrior monks followed behind Xun Shaoyu, walking and walking with a bit of awe on their faces.

In the past two days, Xun Shaoyu's actions have almost refreshed the impression that the monks had on this uncle.

Involuntarily, there was a gradual change in attitude, and there was also fear.

And Xun Shaoyu was quite happy to see the success.

Since ancient times, if there is no kindness, there will be no power, and if there is no power, there will be no kindness!

Combining kindness and power is the only way to control the troops.

Xun Shaoyu's "power" in the past two days has been deeply felt in the hearts of the monks.

His eyes flashed, and he ordered: "Deal with these rebels and don't expose any flaws. The Chen thieves are too powerful or control the troops of the whole government to be able to defeat them."

"At the same time, we ordered most of the soldiers to hide in the gate tower and not to go out unless something happened."

"Only a small number of soldiers will be left, put on Chen Thief's armor... everything is as usual."

Xun Shaoyu pinched his phalanges, and the joints made a crisp sound.

The army of a government must be organized with at least [-] soldiers.Some wealthy mansions and shangfu even have an organization of [-] soldiers.

Chen Zei was able to gain momentum, which made Xun Shaoyu have to doubt the whereabouts of this army of soldiers.

He, Xun Shaoyu, looked down upon those veterans who only lived on empty pay.

However, this is still a team of professional soldiers who have been trained all year round and are financially independent.

In terms of combat strength, it is far from comparable to those who besieged Ci'an Temple, with thousands of miscellaneous soldiers.

Don't look at the miscellaneous soldiers. Once they expand, they are like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and there can be more than ten thousand people in one day.

However, among the so-called miscellaneous soldiers, those who are truly capable of fighting and dare to kill and fight are really rare.

This includes the old, the weak, women and children, those who have the guts to kill. Among 1 people, there are seven or eight hundred people, which is considered rare, and among them, there are very few armored people.

Several monks were all loyal to Xun Shaoyu, and they did not dare to neglect Xun Shaoyu's orders: "Yes..."

Xun Shaoyu traced the rough city bricks with his fingertips, looked into the city, and said: "What happened to the powerful people in the city?"

"How many of them are left, just hanging on?"

He looked at the desolate scene in the city without any emotion on his face.

In the past few days, Xun Shaoyu pieced together the information he obtained along the way.Only then did I suddenly understand the true identity of this so-called vacuum cult.

This group of so-called Vacuum Cultists was developed and grown by Chen Chujiu, the younger brother of Chen Guang, the leader of the Vacuum Cult.

In Jinping Mansion, he preached for several years. When trouble broke out, he killed the two first and second leaders, Fu Yin and Tongzhi.Control the government soldiers and use them to liquidate the powerful and powerful families.

Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits have always been inseparable!

Regardless of whether this group of Vacuum Cultists is a local garrison or a wandering army from another country.

They will not give up Jinping Mansion easily, this is the gateway to Xiyi and a strategic location.

However, after the rebel army continued to loot and wreak havoc.

Jinping Mansion, which used to be considered wealthy, is now sparsely populated!
A monk came from one side and said, "Uncle Master, the monk who went to explore the city is back."

"Ok?"

Xun Shaoyu's expression changed: "Please come up!"

Xun Shaoyu paid extraordinary attention to the situation in the city.

The first time he entered the city gate, he asked a few close monks to disguise themselves and sneak into the city.

In order to find out all the big and small news in the city.

After all, in the midst of chaos, the situation is changing rapidly, and it is necessary to predict something.

If you are not well-informed and if you are careless, there is no guarantee that you will end up shattered to pieces at some point.

After a while, a thin monk staggered forward, supported by two soldiers on the left and right.

The thin monk said: "Uncle Master..."

The monk was wearing a light-colored short shirt, and several parts of his body were bulging with blood.

Seeing the monk's miserable appearance, Xun Shaoyu sighed and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

At this moment, the Jinping Mansion is not stingy with being a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Chen Chujiu's family dominates, and several tyrants are reluctant to deal with each other.

The danger in it is insignificant!
This monk was able to escape from this situation, which was really a lucky thing.

"Chen thieves used government soldiers to occupy the government office a few days ago, killed the governor, Tongzhi and other officials, and captured dozens of large households in the surrounding areas."

The monk slowly told what he saw and heard: "The disciples disguised themselves and saw countless corpses. The people were displaced. They were either vassals of Chen thieves or attached to powerful powerful people."

“Those who do not follow these two will have no place to live.”

Hearing this, Xun Shaoyu was silent for a moment.

The situation in Jinping Mansion has only come to an end at this moment.

"So, Chen Thief's family is not the only one in Fucheng, but there are a few strong men who can compete with him?"

He was thoughtful and murmuring softly.

The powerful family can hold back, the Chen thief in Jinping Prefecture.Some of them were beyond Xun Shaoyu's expectations.

These powerful families are no better than those famous families who are famous in one state and have access to 13 states.There are poems and books passed down from family to family, etiquette handed down from generation to generation, and they have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, accumulated in dozens of generations, and the foundation is profound and incomprehensible.

Therefore, a powerful family may have some reputation in one city at most, and it can be passed down for six or seven generations, but its influence has not left the city.

It can be said that a famous family can reach as far as a state and be famous all over the world.

As for the powerful families, they are just acting as local tyrants on their own land, one-third of an acre.

Xun Shaoyu whispered to himself: "It seems that we have underestimated these powerful men!"

The thin monk said: "Uncle Yuanzhen, these powerful men are not comparable to Chen Thief."

"Chen Thief's Vacuum Sect has penetrated into the Fubing, and the Fubing and the Vacuum Sect are two sides of one body."

"If it is not the home of a powerful man, it is mostly a fort with a fortress with extremely high courtyards and a stable of family members and dead soldiers. These powerful men would have been crushed to pieces by Chen Thief's army long ago!"

Xun Shaoyu frowned and said: "These powerful families, even if they have some dead soldiers and family members, they probably won't be able to last for long."

"Yes……"

"Just because the disciple got close to a powerful fort, Chen Thief's soldiers discovered the clues, so he came back with wounds all over his body."

"Chen Chujiu?"

“You have such a big appetite, aren’t you afraid of being stuffed to death?

"It seems that his courage should not be underestimated!"

Xun Shaoyu looked at the ruins of the city below, and murmured: "However, these heroes... may be of use to me!"

At this point, Xun Shaoyu understood Chen Thief's tricks.

Once Chen Chujiu became powerful, he naturally needed a lot of money and food to continuously win over and win over him. The loyalty of the soldiers in the government kept the momentum going.

Then the money, grain, and taxes stored in Wei Ting's treasury had long been consumed by successive droughts.

Neither the treasury nor Chen Chujiu himself could afford this amount of money and would not spend it.

Naturally, it is not surprising that Chen Chujiu would target wealthy powerful and powerful families, as well as Buddhist and Taoist temples.

Xun Shaoyu snorted coldly and said: "Chen Chujiu, Chen Chujiu, you have to be honest and rebel. You and I are not in conflict with each other, and there is no need to fight with each other."

"But it's your fault that you brought your idea to Ci'an Temple. If I don't let you suffer some hardships, do you really think that you can take over life and death?"
