Tang Cheng said: "Old man, you guessed right. I'm really new to the Helan region, and I'm here to find out what's going on here. ”

The old man also looked at Tang Cheng carefully, and later, he said to Tang Cheng: "Do you dare to follow me to the hillside next to us, let's sit down and talk?"

Tang Cheng nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Tang Cheng only took the high company commander and the white-bearded old man to the hillside next to him. The high company is about 10 meters long and on alert.

The white-bearded old man stared at Tang Cheng and said, "Do you really want to solve the problem in this Helan area?"

Tang Cheng said: "Of course. I'd like to hear what you think, old man?"

The white-bearded old man said: "In my early years, I also served as the deputy secretary of the branch, at that time, the wild country was not so rampant, recently, the empire has become very rampant, this Guanjiao, in our place, is developing very rapidly, and now it is not easy to rectify!

Tang Cheng said: "How can this situation be reversed?"

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said, "What's the chief's last name?"

Tang Cheng nodded and said, "My surname is Tang." ”

The white-bearded old man said, "Let me tell you a story, this story, 70 years ago, was widespread, maybe this story will inspire you." ”

Tang Cheng looked forward to meeting the masters, the more wise people he met in the deep mountains and old forests in the fields, the more he could see the fire, the more intelligent and wise he could be, and the more he could give Tang Cheng practical and valuable advice. Tang Cheng hurriedly said: "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

The white-bearded old man said: "As early as more than 80 years ago, the Japanese invaded our Chinese territory, and many of the land fell, but our people's struggle against the invasion of this Japanese country has been ongoing. Many anti-Japanese fighters joined forces to resist the invasion of the Japanese state, and they, the people with lofty ideals, mobilized the masses and called on the masses not to be slaves to the country, but to rise up to resist. These men of great merit became one with the people. One day, the devils swept and in the village, captured a group of people with lofty ideals who were assembling, there were seven or eight people, the devils suspected that they were anti-log soldiers, and at that time the Japanese country did not kill the peasants, so the devils of the Japanese country tied these people with lofty ideals to the square, and then let the whole village come out and go to the square to claim their families, and those who were led away by the masses were farmers, and those who were not claimed by the masses were the heroes and were killed. Guess what?"

When Tang Cheng heard it, he laughed, this story is a cliché, Tang Cheng learned such a text when he was in elementary school. Tang Cheng said: "This story is old-fashioned, I know, later, many people, would rather sacrifice their true husbands, but also go up to claim, some children, go up to claim their fathers, some claim their uncles, some claim their brothers and brothers, let the devil believe that these people are not heroes, but ordinary farmers, farmers who farm at home." The consciousness of the masses is very high, and they would rather sacrifice themselves than protect our anti-Japanese fighters. ”

After hearing this, the white-bearded old man stood up indifferently, picked up a stone, threw the flock, and said lightly: "This is not a joke, this is true, the masses are like this, once they are superstitious about a group of people and a group of people, one thing, they will risk their lives and protect it." ”

He patted the soil and said to Tang Cheng: "I can only tell you such a story, as for what to do next, it depends on your ideas!"

Tang Cheng was a little confused. Is this talking about us? Or is it talking about the enemy? Tang Cheng said, "Old man, do you have any instructions for the present?"

The old man smiled and said, "I have a word of advice for you now, that this place should not stay for a long time. ”

Then, this sheep herding Kaohan left. Tang Cheng looked at his back and carefully read the story he had just told, Tang Cheng suddenly fought a cold war.

Tang Cheng shouted: "Old man, are you saying that the practice of Guanjiao is the same as what we did at that time?"

The old man herding sheep said, "You still have to be mentally prepared for this." No, you better hurry up and go home, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. ”

This is the tactic of the Snow Temple, to raze and raze, and to govern the body of others with the way of others.

This tactic of hiding soldiers from the people and making all the people soldiers is really clever.

said that the vain town in front of him is a dangerous place, and it is not wronged at all.

Tang Cheng sat on the ground and muttered for a long time, he stood up, took the senior company commander, and returned to the side of the road.

Tang Cheng suddenly turned to Gu Yongjiang Wenyue and said, "Let's go, find this meeting place for Guanjiao, let's take a look, how many people there are, and then listen to Guanjiao's speech?"

Gu Yongjiang stopped and said: "Governor Tang, my opinion, it is better not to go, if we really want to go, we will not have enough troops, Guanjiao is a cult that we have expressly forbidden, since we have gone and found Guanjiao, we should arrest all of them, but if they don't let us arrest people, what should we do? It is extremely easy to cause this bloody conflict?"

Tang Cheng said: "Let's go for a while, we still have a spy company in our hands." They have heavy weapons, and we're afraid of them as a rabble!" So, Tang Cheng made up his mind to really find the meeting place of the Guanjiao in this Milo Village.

Miluo Village is a cottage, the area is not too large, Tang Cheng ordered this spy company, search, soon, Zhen found the opportunity to teach the location, in a village behind Miluo Village.

Tang Cheng asked the spy company to be on guard and blockade it, and Tang Cheng led everyone to the mountain road in front of the villager's house that was suspected to be the place of the Guanjiao meeting.

In the past, no one dared to go deep into this place, but Tang Cheng did.

At this time, the door of Hu Deqiang's house opened and dozens of people suddenly ran out of the house, all of whom were villagers of this Miluo village, and they were all Catholics who believed in Buddhism.

They all had weapons in their hands, including shovels, wooden sticks, forks, stones and other weapons, openly confronting Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng asked Wen Yue to step forward, Wen Yue hesitated, but still stepped forward, he asked, "Are you all Guanjiao?"

He replied, "We are not Catholics." ”

Wen Yue asked, "Are there any Guanjiao disciples among you?"

He replied, "There are no Catholics among us." ”

Tang Cheng called Wen Yue over, and Tang Cheng arranged for Wen Yue to say: "Tell them that we will go to this villager's house to search, let them hide, and go back to their respective homes, otherwise, military law will be involved." Arrest immediately. ”

Wen Yue passed Tang Cheng's words to the other party.

However, a situation that Tang Cheng never expected happened, these people who believe in religion actually stepped forward one by one, straightened their chests, and responded loudly: "It's impossible to go in and search, if you have to go in and search, shoot us all first!"

Tang Cheng calculated, there were more than forty villagers at the scene, if it was really machine gun fire, it would be able to finish the strafing soon, but after all, these were Guanjiao, and in principle, they were still subjects under the jurisdiction of our Helan region after all!

Tang Cheng's brows furrowed. The words of the old man herding sheep just now sounded in Tang Cheng's ears again!

Tang Cheng took the spy company, if it was really shooting, these people would not have to worry, and the battle would be over in a few minutes. However, this is not a battlefield after all, and it is not an absolute enemy!

The complicated situation in the Helan area is so difficult that it is beyond Tang Cheng's imagination.
