Bringing the farm to another world

Qingxuan and the others thought for a moment, then they all nodded. Gongliang Juewen was right. Their methods were usually only used once. If they were used a second time, the enemy might find a weakness and target them. Therefore, they usually dared not use them a second time. Precisely because of this, if they really wanted their methods to have the greatest effect, they would just do it all at once. Like their plan this time, if they sent ten million people, they could only bring back ten million at most. If they sent one hundred million people, they could bring back at least tens of millions. If they sent one billion people at once, they could bring back at least one hundred million people at once, and it would be safer. So Gongliang Juewen's method was not wrong.

Qingxuan and the others all nodded. Gongliang Juewen looked at them and then said, "There are nearly two thousand troops at the front line now, but several thousand adults must be left to guard the line. These people cannot be moved, so the troops available for attack at the front line are only a little over one hundred million. If we want to attract the enemy's attention, we need to send a lot of people. If we send too few, the enemy may discover our plan. So we need at least tens of millions of people to attack and attract the enemy's attention. This will make the number of people we can actually send to kidnap people even smaller. However, kidnapping people doesn't require any experts. So my idea is, could we give those rogue cultivators an order to go to the area occupied by the Blood Slaughter Sect to kidnap people? What kind of reward would we give them for each person they kidnap? What do you think?"

Qingxuan and the others were taken aback, then their eyes lit up. Qingxuan said, "Good, this is a good idea. We can set the reward higher. For example, we can tell them that for each person they capture, they can get 100 spirit stones, directly. If they don't want spirit stones, they can exchange them for a spell or a low-level cultivation technique. If they don't like these things, they can keep track of it. As long as they capture five people, they can exchange them for a higher-level spell or cultivation technique. This way, although we have to pay some price, we can get those rogue cultivators to risk their lives for us. Of course, we can tell those rogue cultivators that they must act in unison this time because we will send people to cover for them. I think many rogue cultivators will go this way. Of course, our various sects will also send some people."

The members of each aristocratic family nodded in agreement. Gongliang Juewen glanced at everyone and then said, "Alright, let's do it this way and get started."

Everyone responded, then stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and turned to leave. Gongliang Juewen glanced at them, smiled slightly, and then said, "Is the number of people enough this time?"

After saying this, he led the eunuch back to his study. As soon as he got back to his study, he immediately called Chang Jun and told him about the matter.

After hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, Chang Jun sighed and said, "Forget it. I was hoping to catch some big fish, but now it seems that we can only start with that rogue cultivator. You don't need to worry about this matter. I guarantee that none of the people who came this time will return."

Gongliang Juewen nodded, and Chang Jun looked at him and said, "Have you thought about what you would do if all those people died here this time?"

Gongliang Juewen said, "I will immediately issue an order to switch from offense to defense and have everyone reassess the sect's strength. This is necessary, otherwise it will arouse their suspicion."

Chang Jun nodded and said, "Very good, this is a good idea. It will be our turn to attack. For so long, we have not shown the true strength of the Blood Slaughter Sect. This time, when we start our attack, we should show our true strength."

Gongliang Juewen nodded, then asked, "If we defend with all our might, won't the sect suffer heavy casualties?"

Chang Jun said in a deep voice, "No, it won't be too small, but it's within an acceptable range. Don't worry, you don't need to worry about this matter. Just be a good emperor."

Gongliang Juewen responded, and then the two ended their conversation. After the conversation ended, Gongliang Juewen couldn't help but mutter, "It's good to have a powerful backer."

Meanwhile, various sects, aristocratic families, and the military all issued bounties to rogue cultivators. Upon seeing these bounties, the rogue cultivators were excited. In their eyes, sending them to attack the rebels was like sending them to their deaths as cannon fodder, but sending them to capture people and exchange the captured for rewards was fantastic. They couldn't handle the rebels, but surely they could handle an ordinary person? Obviously not. So countless rogue cultivators surged towards the front lines, even saying they didn't need to stay at the defense lines anymore; they just needed to participate in the operation. Because when the various sects and families offered the bounty, they had already stated that they could attack, but this time the attack had to be carried out according to their wishes. This time, they would send a large army to attack the rebels and draw their attention. Then, when they went to kidnap people, their chances of success would be much greater. Before the army attacked, they could not kidnap people, so as not to alert the rebels. If anyone went to kidnap people before the army attacked and was discovered, they would be severely punished, and might even lose their life.

Those independent cultivators also know that if they really offend the various families and sects, they will be finished, so they dare not act recklessly now.

Soon, a large number of independent cultivators arrived at the front line. Of course, the underground space at the front line could not hold so many people, so those independent cultivators were directly arranged outside the various bases at the front line, and they were not allowed to go too far. If they went too far, they might not be able to hear the order to attack.

Meanwhile, the Blood Slaughter Sect also retaliated against the Divine Kingdom. Their retaliation was still all bark and no bite, only destroying the ground buildings of a few cities on the front line before retreating. This made them even more reassured. The people of the Divine Kingdom firmly believed that the Blood Slaughter Sect must have suffered huge losses, otherwise their retaliation would not have been so mild, which further strengthened their resolve.

To ensure the success of this attack, the army of the Divine Kingdom had made preparations for a full month. During this month, they mainly discussed which location of the Blood Slaughter Sect to attack, while also waiting for more rogue cultivators to arrive. The number of rogue cultivators gathered at the front line this time has exceeded one billion.

A billion rogue cultivators! This number was beyond what Gongliang Juewen and his group had anticipated, as had General Li and his men at the front lines. General Li immediately summoned Shi Yong and the others to his room. After they arrived, General Li glanced at everyone and then said, "Gentlemen, we have been preparing for a month. In this month, many rogue cultivators have arrived at the front lines. The estimated number has now exceeded one billion. The exact number is impossible to count because many rogue cultivators did not use the teleportation array but flew directly over. We cannot count them one by one, so we do not know the exact number. But in any case, the number of rogue cultivators at the front lines has definitely exceeded one billion. This is a number we never expected."

Everyone nodded. This was indeed a number they hadn't expected. To be honest, they were also a little stunned when they first learned of the number; there were just too many people.

General Li glanced at the crowd and then said, "We can no longer manage so many rogue cultivators. Fortunately, this operation doesn't require much management. We'll attack directly to attract the Blood Slaughter Sect's attention and let those rogue cultivators act on their own. If they manage to capture someone, we'll reward them. If they can't, they won't get any rewards. If they die there, that's just bad luck for them. After all, this is a public mission, and dying while doing a mission is perfectly normal for them."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Even the representatives of the rogue cultivators who attended the meeting did not object. They were all rogue cultivators themselves, so they naturally understood that General Li was right. Not to mention that the reward for this kidnapping mission was so high, in the past, rogue cultivators might have died outside for a mission worth ten spirit stones. So dying on a mission was really nothing to rogue cultivators; it was perfectly normal.

General Li glanced at everyone and then said, "The reason I called you all here today isn't actually to talk about those rogue cultivators. What I want to discuss is where we should choose for our attack this time." After saying that, he pointed behind him, where the map was still hanging and hadn't been taken down.

Hearing his words, everyone's gaze turned to the map. Looking at the map, General Li addressed the crowd, saying, "We attacked Qingyuan City and Wujiang City before; both are their frontline bases. As for Sanhe Plain and Wanshou Mountain, they are all within their territory and don't count. This time, our attack is to draw the enemy's attention, so we must carefully choose our attack location. Another point everyone must be aware of is that after the last two incidents, the enemy will definitely be prepared. The most likely preparation is to disperse the areas where ordinary people gather, scattering them to different places so that no single area has too many people. This way, even if we want to abduct people, we won't be able to take too many at once, minimizing their losses. Therefore, this time, we can no longer focus on those ordinary people's gathering places. If I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be many people left in those areas." (End of Chapter)
