Chapter 2826: The Demon Sect Rebel Army leads the war in the Central Plains.

Chapter 2826: The Demon Sect Rebel Army leads the war in the Central Plains.

The Demon Sect is the largest force in the Central Plains after the Wei, Song, and Ming Dynasties. It controls a population of over one million in the local area alone, and has hundreds of major religions, sects, and gangs under its jurisdiction. Even if they do not form a rebel army, they can Twenty to thirty thousand disciples.

As for how much food the Demon Sect has, I'm afraid even Ming He, Ye Dingzhi and Zi Zaitian don't know, because there is no detailed statistics at all.

No one in the Demon Sect knew about this, but Cao Wei knew it very well.

Early before planning to launch the attack on the Demon Sect, Cao Cao had estimated the amount of money and food the Demon Sect would have and how many new armies it could form with all the money invested. Finally, he estimated that there would be at least 100,000 troops.

In the Central Plains War, the Qin Dynasty and the Wei, Song and Ming Dynasties invested nearly two million troops, while the Demon Sect only had a mere 100,000 new troops. It was obviously unlikely to have much effect. So what was the point of pulling the Demon Sect into the water?

Cao Cao and Fan Li were naturally aware of this, so their real purpose of pulling the Demon Sect into trouble was never for the hundreds of thousands of new troops, but for the high-end talents and huge amounts of money and food the Demon Sect possessed. .

 War is about national strength, military strength, money and food, and talents. Whichever side has stronger talents, more quantity, and more money and food will have the advantage.

 Great Qin’s talent lineup is much stronger than that of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but with the addition of Demon Sect talents, Wei, Song, Ming, and the Demon Sect’s talent lineup may not be able to compete with Great Qin.

As for money and food, it is because Cao Wei, Zhu Ming and Zhao Song all completed the maximum military expansion before the war.

The ultimate expansion of the army does not mean that it cannot continue to expand the army, but the military strength currently possessed by the three countries has reached the limit that the money and food of the three countries can bear. Even if the army continues to expand, it cannot support so many people.

But if there is a magic sect to provide money and food, then the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming can continue to expand their armies.

It has only been two months since Da Qin sent troops. Wei and Song have already lost hundreds of thousands of troops, while Qin's casualties have been minimal.

The comprehensive combat power of the Qin Army is already stronger than that of the Three Kingdoms. If it wants to continue to confront the Qin Army, the Three Kingdoms Alliance must have more troops.

The Qin army's offensive on the frontal battlefield was too fierce. Neither Cao Cao nor Zhu Di or Zhao Kuangyin had much confidence or certainty to defeat the Qin army.

 So, there is only one choice before them now, which is to wear down the Qin army through fighting.

Although Great Qin's national power is strong, its millions of troops come in eight directions, and the logistical pressure is much greater than that of the Three Kingdoms Alliance fighting on the mainland. It can support the Qin army to continue fighting for a year at most, and even Great Qin will definitely not be able to sustain it for any longer.

On the other hand, when the Three Kingdoms Alliance fights in the local area, the logistical pressure is much smaller. If there is money and food support from the Demon Sect, the Three Kingdoms Alliance can replenish its troops on the spot, and it will initially be qualified to fight a war of attrition against Da Qin.

Although the Demon Sect is rich, it is impossible to give away money and food. Only when the Demon Sect is forced to participate in the war to protect itself, will it provide unlimited money and food to the Wei, Song and Ming Dynasties.

 So, talent + money and food are Cao Cao’s real purpose.

 Zizaitian was a man of martial arts, with average political abilities. He didn’t know how much weapons reserves there were in the Wei, Song, and Ming Dynasties. In his understanding, a 30,000-strong army already had a lot of equipment.

Therefore, when Shen Gongbao said that he could give away equipment for up to 30,000 troops, Zi Zaitian did not continue to ask for more.

From Zi Zaitian's point of view, the Demon Sect will join the Three Kingdoms Alliance next. If it acts too greedy and does not have a good relationship with Wei Songming, it will really be besieged on all sides.

In addition, the most indispensable thing for the Demon Sect is money and food, so if the equipment share is not enough, the worst is to use money and food to trade with Wei Songming.

What Zi Zaitian didn't know was that on the surface, the Demon Sect was forced to join the war in order to protect itself, but in fact, the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Ming Dynasties could not do without the Demon Sect. Therefore, let alone the equipment of 30,000 people, even 50,000 , 60,000, the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms would also give it.

But under Shen Gongbao's deception, the Demon Sect only took the weapons and equipment of 30,000 people, and the rest of the equipment had to be traded with money and food. Then the Three Kingdoms Alliance used the Demon Sect's money and food to expand its army. This is just a case of being taken advantage of. .

Zizaitian had no awareness of this, but felt that he had made a lot of money, and then summoned the top leaders of the Demon Sect to discuss how to recruit rebels.

On the surface, the Demon Sect is a whole, but in fact it is just a loose alliance. There are also constant conflicts between the major internal factions. It is only in this life-and-death crisis that all parties will abandon their previous differences and act in unison.

There are three major sects within the Demon Sect, divided according to their strength: Shura Sect, White Lotus Sect, and Taiping Sect.

That's right, Zhang Jiao's Taiping Sect, which almost overthrew the Han Dynasty, originally belonged to one of the three major sects of the Demon Sect. However, after Zhang Jiao got involved with the Yin Yang Family, he became independent from the Demon Sect and set aside the Demon Sect to carry out his own business. uprising.

Today's Taiping Sect has been renamed Mingjiao, and with Ren Hongchang leading the Taihang Mountain Remnants to submit to the Qin Dynasty, Mingjiao has been completely whitewashed.

 The Shura Sect was founded by Styx and is the largest force in the Demon Sect, while the second largest force, the White Lotus Sect, was founded by Qui Gang.

Later, due to the alliance between Kui Gang and Kunpeng, Styx took the initiative to give up his position and gave up the leader to Kui Gang in order to ease the internal conflicts. Kui Gang was the leader of the Shura and White Lotus sects, but later he also delegated his power to A group of disciples.

Styx fell. After receiving the news, Kui Gang and Kun Peng were frightened to death, and then made a tacit agreement to close the mountain and retreat, and no longer interfere in Jianghu affairs.

The attitudes of Kui Gang and Kunpeng also aggravated the panic within the Demon Sect. After all, Styx had fallen. If even the two ancestors did not dare to take care of things, it would be even more impossible for Great Qin to let go of the Demon Sect. That was why it caused Most people in the Demon Sect have become the main fighting faction.

Although Kui Gang is the apparent leader of the Shura and White Lotus sects, he has already stopped doing things.

　　With Zi Zi Tian seizing power, Shura Sect has become Zi Zi Tian’s one-spoken hall.

As for the person in charge of the White Lotus Sect, he is the eldest disciple of Kui Gang, the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect and the protector of the law.

In terms of teaching disciples, Kui Gang is far inferior to Styx. Among his disciples, only Hei Pao is a grand master. Unlike Styx, all the four true disciples are grand masters, and even two of his registered disciples are grand masters.

It is precisely because there are more great masters among Styx's disciples that Styx dares to give up his position as the leader of the Shura Sect. He controls the Demon Sect through his disciples, and is not afraid of Kui Gang elevating himself at all.

Of course, although Qui-Gon's disciples are few, they are loyal to him, while Styx's disciples, although many, are all inexperienced white-eyed wolves.

For example, the eldest disciple and eldest son-in-law Zi Zaitian, 'Ming He' just died. He couldn't wait to imprison Ye Dingzhi and seize power. However, among the disciples such as Brahma and Luisetian, none of them stood up to help Ye Ding. Begging for mercy.

If Styx knew about it, he would definitely want to slap these evil disciples to death with one palm, but he may not be his disciple's opponent since he has lost his power.

　　"Reporting to the leader, the black-robed deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect is here."

After hearing this, Zi Zaitian was overjoyed and said quickly: "Please come quickly."

Heipao is a master in the middle stage of the Grand Master. He has been responsible for the internal affairs of the White Lotus Sect. He knows more about the affairs in the Demon Sect than Zi Zaitian.

The Demon Sect was originally just a Jianghu force, but after dominating the Central Plains, it usurped too many interests. Previously, it was protected by the Styx River, so that it could live in peace with the Central Plains princes.

Now that Styx is dead, Master Kui Gang and Patriarch Kunpeng have also closed the mountains for retreat.

 Without the blessing of these three ancestors, the Demon Sect is destined to be unable to defend such huge interests by relying solely on its own strength.

 Don't look at the fact that the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains are now negotiating with the Demon Sect in a good manner and agreeing that the Demon Sect will use money and food in exchange for weapons and war preparations, but that is because the Demon Sect has agreed to participate in the war.

If the Demon Sect refuses, without the support of the three ancestors, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains will probably be the first to attack the Demon Sect.

Because even if the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains unite, they still cannot defeat the Great Qin. If they are not destroyed by the Great Qin, they can only absorb enough blood from the Demon Sect so that the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains can fight against the Great Qin. Therefore, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains have no other choice.

 Similarly, the Demon Sect also has no choice.

If you refuse to participate in the war, the Demon Sect will either be destroyed by the Qin Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains.

But if they agree to participate in the war, the Demon Sect will cooperate with the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and if they can defeat the Qin army, the Demon Sect can continue to live freely in the Central Plains.

 Among these two options, most people in the Demon Sect have chosen the latter.

After the fall of Styx, Kui Gang and Kun Peng closed the mountain for seclusion, and Zizaitian and Heipao were the principals of the Demon Sect.

Now that after internal deliberations within the Demon Sect, it has been decided to join the Three Kingdoms Alliance and form a rebel army to fight against Qin Dynasty, then the next step is to implement it.

“We, the White Lotus Sect and its affiliated forces, have a total of 13,584 disciples who can participate in the war.

In addition, I have ordered six people: Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Peng Yingyu, Guo Zixing, and Sun Deya to recruit troops in Jiyin and Shanyang in Wei, Runan in Song, and Guangling, Donghai, and Pengcheng in Ming.

Most of the people in these six counties are followers of the White Lotus Sect. Whether it is from believers or ordinary people, it is not difficult to recruit soldiers. It is expected that 50,000 new soldiers will be recruited within half a month and will be trained urgently..."

Black Robe described the arrangements of the White Lotus Sect in a leisurely manner, but it made Zi Zaitian and the senior leaders of the Shura Sect feel ashamed.

But when it was time to form the army, Zi Zai Tian discovered that he didn't know how much money the Shura Sect had in terms of food, and he couldn't even name some of the top officials. Unlike Black Robe, who knew everyone in the White Lotus Sect very well, and the money, food, and personnel arrangements were all unknown. Familiar with the heart.

Seeing that Zi Zaitian was silent and not saying a word, Hei Pao was stunned.

“You Shura Cult haven’t prepared anything, right?”

As soon as Hei Pao said this, the embarrassment on Zi Zaitian's face became even more intense.

“Of course not, it’s just that my nephew was in charge of the internal affairs of the Shura Sect before, but he was a little willful because of Master’s favor and opposed our Demon Sect’s war with Da Qin, so I locked him up for reflection.

 I am in charge of the Shura Sect at the beginning, and I don’t know much about the internal affairs. I am still integrating internal resource information for the time being. I need to understand what I have before I can expand the army. "

After hearing Zi Zaitian's words, not only the black robe, but also Shen Gongbao on the side was speechless. After all, this is so embarrassing. Zi Zaitian didn't even know what his family background was. Isn't this funny?

Shen Gongbao also somewhat understood why Zi Zaitian seized power from his nephew. A master in the late stage of the great master was only the deputy leader of Shura Cult in name only. Instead, he was ridden by a master. He probably couldn't bear this.

"The Shura Sect has more sects and gangs than my White Lotus Sect. Once the internal resources of the Shura Sect are integrated, I am afraid that the Wei Kingdom will be destroyed by the Qin Dynasty." Heipao said angrily.

 “Then what do you think we should do?” Zi Zaitian asked helplessly.

“Release Ye Dingzhi, the Demon Sect needs him now.” Shen Gongbao advised.

"But…"

Zi Zaitian showed hesitation. It was unreasonable for him to seize power from his nephew just after his master died. In addition, Ye Dingzhi is the leader of the peace faction. If he releases Ye Dingzhi now, he is afraid that Ye Dingzhi will meet him. Gather a group of people to rebel against him.

Shen Gongbao naturally knows Zi Zaitian's concerns, but now the Demon Sect is dominated by the main war sect, and the Lord He sect can only passively obey. Therefore, even if Ye Dingzhi is released, he can only follow the trend and cannot threaten Zi Zaitian at all. status.

After hearing what Shen Gongbao said, Zi Zaitian also felt that it made sense and decided to release his nephew Ye Dingzhi himself.

Ye Dingzhi was very angry when he saw the Empress Zi Zai. He never imagined that after his grandfather died, the first person to attack him would be his most trusted uncle. This feeling of being stabbed in the back by a relative was too painful. .

However, in front of Ye Dingzhi, Zi Zaitian pretended to explain his difficulties, and bluntly said that the Demon Sect Master was facing death, and the only way to survive was to fight, and he also fought to avenge his master.

Before he came, he thought about the wording, so this remark was reasonable, but Ye Dingzhi was used to the magic of the magic door.

Seeing that Ye Dingzhi was not fooled, Zi Zaitian used the moral threat of the Demon Sect to kidnap him, and said that as long as Ye Dingzhi changes his position, he is willing to return the power to him.

As a result, as soon as these words were said, Da Brahma, Luxe Tian, ​​and even Shen Gongbao all knelt down, begging Zi Zai Tian to take back his life, and said that Ye Dingzhi was too young to convince the public. Now the Demon Sect is in danger, and only Zi Zai Tian can lead it. The magic door is out of trouble.

"Young Master Ye is a man who understands righteousness well, and he will definitely not accept it even if he thinks about it." Shen Gongbao said solemnly.

After hearing the words, everyone also agreed.

Seeing Zi Zaitian and Shen Gongbao singing together, Ye Dingzhi felt that it was hypocritical. He thought that he had a strong control over the Demon Sect, but it had only been one day since his grandfather passed away, and the world of the Demon Sect had completely changed. This also made He was a little disheartened.

However, Ye Dingzhi finally agreed to Zi Zaitian. After all, he is still a prisoner under his command. His life and death are all in Zi Zaitian's hands. Only by changing his stance can he gain freedom. Ye Ding is worthy of being the successor appointed by Styx. After he was released, the Shura Sect seemed to have come to life and resumed its previous efficient operation.

“The Shura Sect, and its affiliated Heavenly Demon Sect, Heart Demon Sect, Tianwaitian, Yingui Sect, Huajian Sect, etc., have a total of 21,352 disciples who can participate in the war.

 In addition, the believers of our Shura Sect in the Central Plains are mainly distributed in Taishan, Jibei, Dongping, and Rencheng in the Wei State, Langya, Qijun, and Xiapi in the Ming Dynasty, and Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Chenjun in the Song Dynasty.

 If we recruit troops in these ten counties, we can recruit 50,000 new soldiers within ten days and conduct emergency training. "

 After saying this, Ye Dingzhi retreated and did not appoint generals to recruit soldiers or lead the rebel army, because he knew that Zi Zaitian would definitely appoint them personally. After all, this was a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

Seeing that Ye Dingzhi was so understanding, Zi Zaitian nodded with satisfaction, but he did not let down his guard. In short, from now on, Ye Dingzhi can only serve as a civil servant by his side, assisting him in handling government affairs. It is impossible to actually hold power. .

 “Where are An Lushan and Shi Siming?” Zi Zaitian asked in a deep voice.

When An Lushan and Shi Siming heard this, they immediately stood up together, knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists, saying, "Master, my disciple is here."

“You two each lead five hundred disciples and recruit troops in Taishan County and Jibei County respectively.”

 “Yes, Master.”

“Where are Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Wei Jiu, Han Xin, and Tian Rong?”

This time Zizaitian did not select his own disciples, but selected disciples from the three disciples of Brahma, Lust, and Shiva, and divided the spoils unevenly to merge with internal strife, and the first two were his supporters.

 Zhang Er and Chen Yu were disciples of Brahma, and Jiu, Han Xin, and Tian Rong were all disciples of Luse Tian.

Han Xin, the disciple of Luisetian, is naturally not the military immortal Han Xin, but the King of Han in the late Qin Dynasty.

Han Wang Xin and the soldier immortal Han Xin have the same name and surname. They are the concubine and grandson of King Jicang of Han Xiang. After Korea was destroyed, he followed Zhang Liang and took refuge with Liu Bang. He became the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty and one of the princes and kings with different surnames. Later, he was jealous of Liu Bang, so he rebelled and joined Liu Bang. The Huns eventually died at the hands of Chai Wu, the general of the Western Han Dynasty.

Zizaitian also gave Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Wei Jiu, Han Xin, and Tian Rong important tasks, and ordered each of them to lead 500 disciples to select a county to recruit troops. Once the recruitment was completed, they would naturally become the main generals.

“Immediately send a message to Yuan Jiuling and Chongjiu, asking them to lead five hundred disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Heart Demon Sect to recruit believers and form a rebel army in Chen County and Liang County respectively.”

 In the end, Zi Zaitian did not forget Yuan Jiuling and Chongjiu who were not present, and also granted them the full power to recruit troops and lead the army.

 Ye Dingzhi couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw that the generals chosen by Zi Zaitian were all from the main war faction, and they didn't have any of his close followers.

Although the main war faction in the Demon Sect is powerful now, the power of the main peace faction is not small, and Zi Zaitian only uses people from the main war faction, which is not conducive to internal unity.

“But it’s okay, those people who are not reused by the Lord and the sect will naturally gather around me again.”

Ye Dingzhi secretly thought that his idea was destined to fail because Shen Gongbao also discovered Zi Zaitian's mistake.

Shen Gongbao did not raise it in front of everyone, but found an excuse to drag Zi Zaitian to the back hall, and then told Zi Zaitian what the problem was, and bluntly said that the unity of the Demon Sect is more important than anything else, even if it is to unite people's hearts, it must Reuse the Lord and send people.

Although Zi Zaitian's political ability was not good, he knew that Shen Gongbao had great talents, and he also listened to others' advice, so he selected a few people from the Zhuhe faction to be reused, namely: Liu Wuzhou, Li Zitong, Du Fuwei and others.

 The people of the Lord Harmony Sect have been reused and gained power, and most of their dissatisfaction has disappeared. As a result, the conflicts within the Demon Sect have been alleviated.

Under the leadership of Zi Zaitian, Heipao and Shen Gongbao, after the Demon Sect determined its proposition to resist the Qin Dynasty, they quickly armed more than 30,000 Demon Sect disciples, while using money and grain to trade weapons and equipment with the Wei, Song and Ming Dynasties to form a rebel army. .

 Preliminary calculations show that if the Demon Sect's army expansion plan is successful, at most half a month later, the Demon Sect will have 35,000 combatable troops and 100,000 newly recruited rebels, for a total of 135,000 troops.

While the Demon Sect was recruiting troops with great fanfare, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were also busy.

Since many places in the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were controlled by the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect was recruiting troops within the Three Kingdoms this time, and the number was so large, which naturally gave the Three Kingdoms an opportunity to deploy their troops.

With Minghe dead, Kui Gang and Kunpeng retreating, and the Demon Sect losing its protection, Cao Cao, Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin became bolder.

 The money and food exchanged for weapons and equipment from the Demon Sect obviously could no longer satisfy the appetites of the three kings of the Central Plains, so they attracted the attention of the 130,000 rebels from the Demon Sect.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were going to subvert the power of the Demon Sect. Naturally, the rebels would fight under the banner of the Demon Sect, but it was hard to say whose orders they would ultimately follow.

It has to be said that both Zi Zaitian and Heipao regard the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains as too simple. In terms of calculations, the Demon Sect combined cannot compare to any other country, and their cooperation with the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming can no longer be said to be It's like seeking skin from a tiger. It's like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

In short, the fate of the Demon Sect is already doomed. It will either be destroyed by the Qin Dynasty or occupied by the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms. There will be no third option.

Of course, it will take a while for the Three Kingdoms Alliance's plan to subvert one's strengths and weaknesses to be effective, and before that, troops need to be replenished.

With Wei's three major defense lines at stake, the relationship between the Three Kingdoms alliance has become closer, and the three parties have unanimously decided to implement a resource complementation plan.

Considering that the war in Qingzhou was not intense and was basically in a state of confrontation, and the Ming Dynasty's military losses were not large, on the other hand, Cao Wei had already lost 100,000 troops.

Considering that once Cao Wei was destroyed, the Ming and Song Dynasties would not be able to separate their villages, so Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin unanimously decided that 70% of the first batch of money and grain traded from the Demon Gate would be used to support Cao Wei in replenishing its troops and building Yanzhou Eastern line of defense.

Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin no longer expect Cao Cao to be able to block the Qin army in the west of Yanzhou. They now only hope that Cao Cao can persist longer and use Wei people as much as possible to consume the Qin army's strength, so that when the Qin army officially attacks the Ming and Song Dynasties It wasn't that strong when there were two countries.

 Let Cao Cao, Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin not only plot against the Demon Sect, but also plot against each other within the Three Kingdoms Alliance. However, the decision of Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin did relieve a lot of pressure on Cao Wei.

Cao Cao was naturally ecstatic when he learned about it. He immediately decided to recruit 50,000 new soldiers in the rear areas that were not affected by the war. He also had follow-up recruitment plans. However, he did not know how much money could be squeezed out of the Demon Sect, so he did not announce the specific plans. Expand the number of troops.

No matter how much Cao Wei expands its army, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, because new soldiers can only be recruited from the eastern counties of Yanzhou, and they can only be used for defense. However, the problem Cao Wei now faces is how to defend the western part of Yanzhou.

If all the hundreds of thousands of elite Wei troops in the west were killed in battle, let alone the 50,000 new troops in the east, even if they were 100,000 or 200,000, it would still be difficult to withstand the Qin army's tendency to destroy Wei.

What Cao Cao is now struggling with is whether to abandon the Western Front and retreat to the Eastern Front, or to continue to defend the Western Front. Both the former and the latter have their own pros and cons, making it really difficult for him to make up his mind.

But in the end, under Fan Li's persuasion, Cao Cao decided to stick to the Western Front for no other reason than that even if he could return to the Eastern Front, the situation would not be better than that of the Western Front. Instead, he would lose nearly half of his territory and population to Da Qin.

 After Da Qin acquired the western part of Yanzhou, even if it was impossible to collect grain locally, it could still transport the grain and grass to the western part of Yanzhou and transport the grain and grass nearby, thereby shortening the supply line, then the logistical pressure would naturally be much less.

 So, after weighing the pros and cons, Cao Cao decided to stick to the west, and this was what Ying Hao expected.

Just when Cao Cao was worried about how to resist the Qin army's offensive in Dongjun, Chenliu, and Yingchuan, Ying Hao, who had defeated Minghe, had already arrived at Chenliu and learned about the Demon Sect's determination. News of joining the war and forming a rebel army.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, in less than half a month, Cao Wei will have an additional 50,000 troops, and the Demon Sect rebel army will reach 135,000."

Zhang Liao said worriedly that in his opinion the scale of the war was already quite large, and now that the Three Kingdoms Alliance has the Demon Sect blood transfusion, the scale of the Central Plains War may further escalate.

When Ying Hao heard this, he laughed indifferently: "Haha, except for the 30,000 disciples of the Demon Sect itself, the rest are just new recruits, let alone 180,000, even 800,000 is enough. Our army poses no threat.

Let Momen and Cao Wei go to conquer if they wish. This is just a waste of their own money and food, and will only eventually force the overwhelmed people to turn to our great Qin. "

Ying Hao really doesn't care much about the Demon Sect Rebels. After all, he started his career by suppressing the Yellow Turbans. He knows that if the rebels want to grow up, they need a lot of time to hone, and the Qin Army will never give it to the Demon Sect Rebels. And the time for the recruits of the Three Kingdoms to grow.

What Ying Hao really pays attention to in the Demon Sect is the top talents such as Yuan Jiuling and Zhongjiu. Only these people can make him be more vigilant.

As for the current leaders of the Demon Sect, Zi Zaitian, Heipao and others, they have only force but no brains, so they obviously will not be taken seriously by Ying Hao.

These people have their own worship halls and hundreds of families to deal with, and there is no need for Ying Hao to waste his energy.

What Ying Hao cares about now is how to completely conquer Styx. After all, Styx's daughter and son-in-law, as well as the grandson Niu Hong who cheated his grandfather, are still in the anti-Qin camp.

If these people die at the hands of the Qin army, it is difficult to guarantee that Ming He will not have a grudge. The final situation is likely to be that Ming He really does ten things and then leaves, but Ying Hao really wants to be completely tied up. Ding Minghe, so naturally he must also accept his son-in-law, daughter, and grandson.

Ying Hao was not too worried about Niu Mowang and Ming Tieshan. As long as he told them that Ming He was not dead, he could use filial piety to make them bow their heads. Ye Dingzhi was also a person who was very aware of current affairs.

The biggest headache for Ying Hao is Niu Hong, a naughty kid who is only over 280 months old and nearly 1.9 meters tall.

After separating from Jia Fu, Jia Fu specifically reminded Ying Hao to be careful in handling Niu Hong, which also made Ying Hao become interested in Niu Hong.

After learning what Niu Hong had done, even Ying Hao couldn't help but sigh, this guy is simply a giant baby, and he is so tormenting that he has tricked all his relatives around him.

If Ying Hao had such a son, he would definitely beat him to death as soon as possible to prevent him from harming others and himself in the future.

 But the biggest problem now is that if you want to completely regain the Styx, you are bound to have to avoid Niu Hong.

Niu Hong was too prejudiced against Da Qin. Although many of the things he did were made up in his head, such as the death of Niu Ruyi, which had nothing to do with Da Qin, he still firmly believed that it was Da Qin's fault.

From the fact that Niu Hong doesn't even listen to his parents and grandfather, we can see that he is the kind of person with an extreme personality who is only immersed in his own world.

This kind of person obviously won't listen to others' advice, because what he cares about is not the truth, but the truth he hopes for.

 So, Ying Hao never changed his mind about Niu Hong, because the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.

 For Ying Hao, it may be more difficult for him to change Niu Hong than to unify him.

What Ying Hao can do is not to kill Niu Hong and save his life, but he will find a deep mountain forest and imprison Niu Hong to prevent him from continuing to oppose Da Qin.

 As to whether it is life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment, it depends on Niu Hong's own performance.

Ying Hao believed that Styx would also be satisfied. After all, he was really tricked by his grandson, and allowing this evil grandson to live would be an act of mercy beyond the law.

 Therefore, before Ying Hao left Yin'an, he gave an order to Heibingtai in Yanzhou to capture Ming Tieshan and Niu Hong's mother and son alive, and the person in charge of this operation was still Li Xiaoyao.

 Li Xiaoyao is a half-step grand master, bringing dozens of Iron Eagle swordsmen, capturing the master-level Ming Iron Fan alive, and Niu Hong, who has only been able to clean up the remaining poison. Logically speaking, there is no big problem.

But what Li Xiaoyao never expected was that Niu Hong actually abandoned his mother who had divorced him and decisively chose to escape alone. This also made this operation unsuccessful. They only captured the Ming Iron Fan, but left Niu Hong fled back to the Ming army camp.

After Li Xiaoyao captured Ming Iron Fan, he escorted him all the way to Chenliu Camp, and it was precisely because he was waiting for Ming Iron Fan that Ying Hao stayed in Chenliu for two more days.

Although Ming Tieshan is a woman, she is still very beautiful and has a charming appearance. Cao Cao would definitely like her if he saw her, but in the eyes of Ying Hao, who is used to seeing beautiful women, she is just okay.

Ying Hao did not have Cao Cao's interest in being a good wife, and since Ren Hongchang and Liu Mu took turns exploiting him in order to get pregnant, his desire for female **** has been greatly reduced.

Except for the women in his own harem, Ying Hao has no interest in anyone. He feels the same about everyone he looks at. He neither thinks how beautiful nor how ugly they are. In short, he is very Buddhist.

Ming Tieshan looked at Ying Hao with eyes full of hatred. Apparently on the way back to Mount Tai, she had learned the news of the fall of Styx through a flying pigeon, so she believed that Ying Hao was her father-killing enemy.
