July 30th.
The Red Eyebrow Army fought successively and swept through Tianshui County.
There are also a large number of people in various places who have become bandits due to water and food problems. Either they have really joined the Red Eyebrow Army, or they have used the name of the Red Eyebrow Army, which has caused wars across the five western counties.
A large number of people fled, either to Fufeng County near other states, or to the west, with the support of people from the Buddhist country. However, more people died on the road, or were abducted by the Red Eyebrow Army, becoming A member of the bandit army.
The third day of August.
The state government sent troops, with Ji Chengye, the crown prince of King Lu, as the general, leading 6,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to go west to meet the enemy.
The fourth day of August.
The vanguard of the Red Eyebrow Army died in front of the battle at the head of Ji Chengye, the Crown Prince of Lu, and the army won the first battle.
The fifth day of August.
Several generals of the Red Eyebrow Army died violently for no reason one after another. The officers and soldiers took advantage of the victory and pursued them with overwhelming momentum.
The sixth day of August.
Ji Chengye, the eldest son of King Lu, led 3,000 cavalry to attack and fought for 500 miles. With the help of local martyrs, he defeated four cities in a row and became famous far and wide.
When Jiang Li heard the news that a general of the Red Eyebrow Army had died suddenly, he knew that Ji Chengye was here.
The Red Eyebrow Army is suspected to have the support of the Taiping Religion. The generals in the army are not said to be masters, but they are definitely practitioners. How can they die so easily? If this happens, it can only mean that Cui Fujun took action and directly cut off the longevity of those people with the book of life and death.
This war has been unequal from the beginning. The gap in strength between the two is really too big. If the Taiping Religion really rebels, there will be another fight. Even if the officials don't sway, the entire Yongzhou will fall.
However, the Taiping Sect did not choose to break up, and did not even think that the Red Eyebrow Army could really succeed.
This chaos was actually just a tactic used by the Taiping Religion to shake the prestige of the imperial court, rather than a real confrontation with the imperial court.
Therefore, this is destined to be nothing but a massacre.
From east to west, Ji Chengye led his army to attack all the way, conquering everything he passed and winning every battle. The enemy general suddenly died suddenly during the battle, and even the lower-level personnel fell like wheat. Ji Chengye only had to lead his troops to rush over.
Under such circumstances, the Red Eyebrow Army continued to be defeated.

In the dark hall, pale palms turned the dark pages of the book, and blood-red writing continued to appear.
The appearance of each line of writing represented the death of a person, and the owner of the pale palm would add a few strokes from time to time, actively modifying the text and harvesting lives.
"The Red Eyebrow Army has been defeated, and the bandit leader Xu Xiangyang has also died in my hands, but the Taiping Sect masters have not yet appeared. It seems that the Taiping Sect has no real intention to enter." The man with a white face and no beard was wearing a red robe, with a The cold voice said.
Opposite him, there was a middle-aged man with a face as golden as paper, dressed in rich clothes, and dying. This man was the King of Lu who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
"How can a mere sect of the great Zhou Tianwei rival him?" King Lu said feebly, "As long as Zhang Zhixuan was not crazy, he would not think that he could oppose the imperial court with just a few ordinary people. Tell me, how much is the reserve of ghosts? Already?"
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
Mr. Cui Fu turned over the book in his hand and said: "In the past, there was a great battle between the Enlightened One and Karma Tathagata, and more than 200,000 people were killed and injured. However, the number of people who could really leave behind their souls was actually less than 100,000, and the rest were wiped out by the aftermath. . Today the prince was promoted, and the Yin Law Department collected souls. There are now more than 200,000 dead and wounded in Yongzhou, and the number of usable ones has reached 160,000. The number should be enough."
"not enough."
Hearing this, King Lu shook his head and said: "King Chakravartin was a great Arhat in the Buddhist kingdom back then. Everyone said he was a third-grade great scholar, far superior to me. He committed suicide in order to save all living beings. He was not on the verge of death." , the state is also far better than my king. If he were to change places, I would never realize that I would never be able to be promoted as successfully as he did."
"In that case, let's add more," Lord Cui said calmly, "The Wheel King needs to save all souls. The more ghosts the better, but the King of Yama needs thousands of ghosts to come and turn into ghost gates. The more ghosts there are, the better." The more, the better the effect.”
King Lu waved his hand and said: "Add another 40,000 to make up the total of 200,000. If there are insufficient soldiers, we will make up for it with civilians."
"yes."
Behind King Lu, someone responded respectfully and slowly retreated.
This is to go and inform Prince Lu to let him continue harvesting.
What they want is 40,000 souls, but there may be more than 40,000 dead. If Lord Cui uses the book of life and death, the cost will definitely not be small. It is better for Ji Chengye to lead his people to do it directly.
When the man came out of the room, he saw a tauren nearly ten feet tall guarding the outside of the hall. He immediately issued an order: "Your Majesty has ordered us to add another forty thousand."
Niutou nodded: "Yes."
After that, he called out in a deep voice: "Big White Ox Cart."
The white bull pulled the cart slowly appeared. The bull got on the cart, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then waved the steel fork, and the cart gradually accelerated and slowly faded away, as if he had entered another world.

Yongzhou, Anding County, Qishan.
On the road around the mountain, there are soldiers wearing strong swords and standing tall and solemn. From the foot of the mountain below to the top of the mountain, the road is filled with soldiers. It is obvious that they are all soldiers who have been fighting for a long time.
Even if these fights are one-sided crushing, the aura after killing people is completely different from before.
At the top of the mountain, a wooden altar is already being built.
Ji Chengye was wearing light gold armor, holding a battle sword that looked like it was polished from a solid stone. He was leaning on his side. The original aura of a scholar had been wiped out, replaced by the sophistication and determination of a veteran on the battlefield.
The Great Zhou Dynasty did not have an official system that separated civil and military affairs. As long as the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government met the standards of civil and military affairs, they could become generals and prime ministers.
Even the Imperial Academy would not only teach literature but not martial arts. All the six Confucian arts would be preserved.
Take Ji Chengye, for example, when he was in the eighth rank, he was a royal warrior. He was proficient in the six arts of Confucianism, and his familiarity with war horses and chariots was as good as that of a general in the army.
In other words, he had the idea of developing in the military from the beginning, so he chose the Taoist Fruit of the Imperial Guard. Moreover, his current champion Hou Daoguo, who is about to be promoted, has no conflict with himself.
"soon."
Seeing the altar for worshiping heaven being gradually built, Ji Chengye showed uncontrollable enthusiasm, "Brother Ming, do you know what Daoguo I want to promote? This is the only champion in the world. As long as this Daoguo is promoted, it will be Zhong Daoguo." I am not afraid of Shenxiu in person."
Mingyang, who has been taken by Ji Chengye, is still bound by the golden rope at this moment, his skills are completely blocked, and his condition is not good, but his mental outlook is much stronger than the despairing look before.
Hearing Ji Chengye's words, Mingyang showed disdain, "A rat like you is worthy of discussing religion with Senior Brother Zhong? If you have the guts, let me go, and I will teach you a lesson for Senior Brother Zhong."
"Lesson?" Ji Chengye laughed, "Senior brother, you want to die with me, right? You and I have known each other for several years, how can you hide your thoughts from me? Unfortunately, senior brother, all your trump cards have been exhausted, and that's me Even if I let you go, you can't kill me."
Ji Chengye had been prepared to fall out with Mingyang long before. He deliberately asked Mingyang to use up all his life-saving means to ensure that he could easily win against him.
And the smooth development of things was beyond Ji Chengye's initial expectations. Not only was Mingyang easily captured by him, he could even use it as a means to threaten Zhong Shenxiu.
While talking and laughing, the simple altar was completed.
Ji Chengye was about to go to the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven when a faint fluctuation suddenly appeared around him. A white ghost ox cart sped out with the bull's head standing on the cart and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has ordered us to add another 40,000."
"Forty thousand? There are less than thirty thousand prisoners..."
Ji Chengye frowned at first, then relaxed his brows and said, "Send people to search the surrounding villages and towns to fill in the gaps. Just in time, I also want to see if my senior brother Zhong can bear it when he sees innocent people being killed."
He knew that the reason why Zhong Shenxiu had not taken action yet was because he, Ji Chengye, was needed to lead the people to stage a counter-insurgency drama.
Without Ji Chengye's participation, the Red Eyebrow Army would not have been pacified so easily, and would have caused even greater losses.
Now that the Red Eyebrow Army has been defeated, and only the remaining soldiers are fleeing everywhere, it's time for Senior Brother Zhong to show up.
After giving this order, and seeing that the soldiers with him carried it out, Ji Chengye strode up to the altar, took the incense stick handed to him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Zhou Lu, the Ji family concealed the inheritance and defeated the enemy army. I beheaded more than 10,000 people and put an end to the chaos within ten days. I hereby report to heaven and hope that the sky and the earth will be clear to show my merits."
The altar is very simple, and the words of sacrifice are also very simple, but the important thing is not the sacrifice ceremony, but the completed journey of thousands of miles and the military merits that are enough to become a prince.
A streak of blood light burst out from Ji Chengye's body, rising up into the air, manifesting the scene of a golden sword and an iron horse. With the power of killing the enemy and defeating the bandits, streaks of bloody aura condensed like running water and turned into a ball, suddenly Falling towards Ji Chengye's eyebrows.
"boom!"
He suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum, and his energy and spirit surged wildly at this moment. The majestic power filled every corner of his body, even making him feel omnipotent.
[Level 6 Dao Fruit: Cavalry General·Champion Marquis]
[Category: Human]
[Eligibility conditions: Establish military merit sufficient to become a marquis before the age of 18]
[Promotion Ceremony: Fighting thousands of miles away in a big battle, leading to a great victory]
[Ability: Run thousands of miles, bravely win the three armies, be jealous of talents, seal the wolf and live in Xu]
Among them, [Sealing the Wolf and Juxu] can turn the battle results obtained in the promotion ceremony into strength and blessing. The greater the battle results, the stronger the strength.
Although Ji Chengye cheated, he did have enough fruitful results, so that his three yuan skyrocketed, and his Qi yuan and Jing yuan doubled.
"This is the fruit of uniqueness, this is power."
Ji Chengye laughed wildly, "With this magical power, why should I be afraid of others? Zhong Shenxiu and Jiang Li are all worth mentioning. Sooner or later they will become defeated."
The painstaking planning came to fruition today, so much so that Ji Chengye's deep thoughts could not contain his ecstasy, and he behaved wildly.
At the same time, a large number of wailing sounds were heard, which were the screams of the prisoners when they were killed, and the cold and deathly air rose overwhelmingly, making the daylight eclipse.
After thinking about it, I decided to briefly write about Ji Chengye’s promotion instead of going into detail about the war. He is not the protagonist, so why write about it in such detail?
Today's normal update is 6k. Although the chrysanthemum is damaged, there are no missing words. I will gradually make up for the 5k I owe tomorrow.
