Northern Wei Dynasty, Jizhou.

Wuyi County.

Fucheng has just had a heavy snowfall, after the night is cold to the bone, there are no pedestrians in the streets and alleys, even the patrol soldiers are lazy to hide in the camp and do not go out, Yang Shun with three or five people quietly appeared in the Jindi Temple, after the ceremony, saw the abbot Fagui.

"Abbot, this is the winter solstice girl of the head of the Jiangdong Secret Mansion Luo Shengsi, she has full authority to represent my master, and I hope to have a few words with the abbot."

Yang Shun's master is the God of Wealth, the winter solstice is the representative, that is, the scattered wealth boy, no one will get along with money, especially when Fagui is in need of a large amount of money, his enthusiasm is enough to melt the snow outside the temple that is not up to the ankles, personally welcome the winter solstice into the backyard of the meditation room, ordered the disciples to serve tea, and asked himself: "The master came from thousands of miles away, but brought good news for the little monk?" ”

Dong Solstice said with a smile: "Last time, I added a thousand horses of silk, one million dollars, and five thousand stones of grain to sesame oil in front of the Mahayana Buddhism, and this time I donated five million dollars and five thousand stones of grain to Jindi Temple. ”

Fagui's excitement was overflowing, his hands were folded, and he said, "Good, good!" Thank you to the little monk will not say much, this winter is seriously short of food, I don't know how many people will starve to death, with this money and food, I have the confidence to recruit soldiers. Master, when the Mahayana sect has taken away the country of Suolu, today's gift will be returned thousands of times in the future. ”

"Yes, you don't have to pay it back!" Dong Solstice said: "It's just that my master wants to know when the abbot is going to start the army?" ”

"Everything is ready, I am ready to take the oath in five days!"

"Five days later? Won't it be too rushed? ”

"Can't wait any longer! The Lord of Wei has no way, the people's livelihood is regulated, the people have no food to eat, and they are waiting to starve to death, so it is better to rebel and find a way to live. Now is the right time to start the army, the right time and place! ”

"The abbot can know that Wei and Chu have signed an alliance in Luoyang, and the Wei army is about to return to the court, if the army starts at this time, I am afraid it is not the best time."

Fa Gui was surprised: "Chu Wei has made peace? ”

"Yuan Guang and Yuan Mulan led hundreds of thousands of armor soldiers to fight for more than a month, but they were helpless against the Chu army, so they could only negotiate an alliance and lose most of Yuzhou.

Fa Gui waved his hand and said: "Master, I have long seen that the strength of the Wei army is only a mirror, it is not worth mentioning, since the Chu army can win, my monks and soldiers will also win." Whether it's Yuan Guang or Yuan Mulan, as long as they dare to lead the troops here, I will teach them that there is no return! ”

Dong Zhi persuaded: "Yuanguang's subordinates have a hundred freshness and humility, and the abbot thinks twice!" ”

"The little monk is not afraid! He has a hundred guarantees of freshness, I have Maitreya to protect the body, all the disciples who believe in Mahayana, can be invulnerable, brave and not afraid of death, not to mention a hundred guarantees of freshness, is a thousand guarantees of freshness, ten thousand freshness, and is not an opponent! ”

The winter solstice is silent.

Fa Guiteng stood up and said, "If the master doesn't believe it, please come with me and see it with your own eyes." ”

There is a martial arts practice field at the back of the temple, and there is an iron cage next to it, in which are placed five evil wolves, with scarlet eyes and fierce eyes, obviously having eaten people.

Fagui took out two talismans and burned them, sprinkled them into a bowl filled with water, and said, "Maitreya came to the world and got rid of the demons!" He took out two more swarthy pills and melted them in the water as well.

The two disciples raised their heads and drank the runic water, and rushed into the cage without hesitation, holding short knives in their hands, wearing only short robes, no armor and shields, and hand-to-hand combat with the evil wolf.

The wolf stood separately, advancing and retreating in a certain way, and soon saw the gap, a wolf pounced violently, biting the arm of a disciple, the skin was open, and the blood flowed, but the disciple did not say a word, stabbed the wolf in the neck with a knife, and killed him immediately with a backhand. Another wolf took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, biting his calf, swaying his head from side to side, tearing off a large piece of flesh, but the disciple still did not shout or scream, pulled out his knife and slashed at the wolf's neck.

The wolf let go of his mouth, pounced forward again, stepped on the disciple's chest with both feet, pounced on him, jumped up, and bit down on his throat.

The disciple was still wildly wielding the short knife before he died, and it was not until he lost his breath that his right hand hung down weakly, but the handle of the knife was still tightly held in his hand.

The other disciple was also covered in blood under the siege of the other three wolves, but Dong Solstice found that he had not taken half a step back from beginning to end, his face exuded indescribable fanaticism, his eyes flashed with strange light, and his mouth was different from the disciple who had never spoken, as if he was muttering the mantra of "Maitreya protects the body, invincible", and then fought until the last moment.

The three wolves who were still alive ate the corpses of the two disciples, and the scene was terrible, but Fa Gui said complacently: "Master, how is it?" My monk is inferior to Baibao, do you have a chance of winning? ”

Dong Solstice knew that he couldn't persuade him to return, such a madman had actually fallen into the devil's way, and he couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion at all, she smiled and said: "The abbot has vast powers, and he can't know everything that my generation can do, I was offended before, the abbot is not strange!" ”

Fagui laughed and said, "Those who don't know are not to blame! As long as the master delivers the money and food within two months after I start the army, I can guarantee that the Yuan family's world is about to come to an end! ”

"Okay, the money and food will be delivered later, I'll wait for good news!" Dong Solstice rolled his eyes and said, "I see that the secret medicine of the abbot just now is quite powerful, can you see a few and take them back to open the eyes of my master?" ”

"Well said!"

Fagui generously gave a pack, there were thirty pieces, the winter solstice received, farewell to Jindi Temple, but did not leave Fucheng, but hid in the dark.

After another five days, Fagui really erected the Mahayana Buddha flag in Jindi Temple, claiming to be the true body of Maitreya Buddha, called Mahayana, sealing Fayan as the commander of the Ping Demon Army, and sealing the Fa Yan as the Bodhisattva of Ten Thousand Pillars, vigorously advocating the doctrine of killing people to become Buddhas, where one person is killed for a pillar of Bodhisattva, ten people are ten pillars of Bodhisattva, and so on, the more people who kill, the more rewards you can get, and this reward not only has money, grain, fields, and houses, but also women.

That night, the Mahayana Sect broke through the Fucheng County Ya, killed the county commander and a cadre, opened a warehouse to release grain, and gathered 5,000 people, with great momentum.

Jizhou shook.

Fagui set an example, married the beautiful nuns of the Fucheng nunnery as concubines, and rewarded all the nuns and the wives and daughters of the captured scholars and wealthy merchants to the soldiers under his command, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the next day he waved his army north to attack Wuyi County, the county of Wuyi County.

The county Taishou led 1,500 county soldiers out of the city to meet the battle, but found that the enemy seemed to be possessed by ghosts, braved arrows, never retreated, and defeated the county soldiers with only one charge, captured Wuyi County, killed Taishou, and hung the city head to show the public after killing the corpse.

Wuyi County has fallen!

The Mahayana sect developed to 20,000 people, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued to attack Bohai County and Buzhike County in the north, and then made persistent efforts to capture Changle County and Wuyuan County, mastering the land of the four counties, and the army also snowballed to 80,000 people!

Among these 80,000 people, there are not only oppressed Buddhist monks, but also ordinary people who can't survive, and there are many families who are dissatisfied with the imperial court who want to take advantage of the chaos to seek benefits, so the Mahayana religion crisscrosses the four counties, and almost no one can stop it.

Lu Bina, the town lord of Jizhou, who had just withdrawn from the Qingzhou front, hurriedly reorganized his troops to fight after hearing the news, and encountered the main force of the Mahayana sect in the river. The Pingmo Army Judicial Yan used the grain truck as a bait to deceive the Jizhou army that was short of food to intercept it, but arranged an ambush in advance to block the Jizhou army in the valley, and set fire to the grain truck full of hay and sesame oil.

It was a battle, and the Jizhou army, which was known as the strongest soldier in the world, was wiped out in this way, and even the town lord Lu Bina was arrested by Fa Wei, and then disemboweled, and the head was made into a night pot and sent to Pingcheng for Yuan Yu's use.

It is said that Yuan Yu was so angry that he smashed the human head night pot, slashed many palace people with a knife, and almost vomited blood.

Shi Butian, the Qingzhou Thorn of Chu State, who had been on the line with Lu Bina for many years, built a remote thinking platform in the city, burned paper and incense to pay tribute to Lu Bina, in order to express his sorrow, and then secretly sold a large number of swords, arrows and armor to the Mahayana Sect.

War money, no white, no hair!

Of course, in view of the current situation of friendship between Wei and Chu, these things do not have the mark of Chu State, nor are they the standard of the army, they are all unscrupulous white Ukrainian merchants who see money and smuggle inferior products out of the country, which should not pose much of a threat to the brave and warlike Wei army.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the winter solstice rushed back to Jinling, and reported to Xu You and Zhan Wenjun the beginning and end of the Mahayana uprising, saying: "The fanaticism of the followers of the Mahayana Sect is even far better than the white thieves in the Ming Yu period. In my opinion, the Wei State will be greatly impacted this time, but the Mahayana Sect has no defensible program, nor does it have reliable generals, and it is only by relying on the believers to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths and dare to fight and rush that they have temporarily achieved victory. Just wait for Pingcheng to react and mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals to encircle it, or it won't be long before the Mahayana Sect will definitely be defeated! ”

"What about the law, can it be a big deal?"

"Although Fagui is ambitious, he is extremely cruel, does not pay attention to ethics, has no morality, only loves to kill, and is greedy for money and lustful, and his majesty is powerful, and the rewards and punishments are uneven, I think he will die in the hands of his own people sooner or later, and it is difficult to achieve great things!

Zhan Wenjun was slightly disappointed, and said: "I originally thought of burying the chess piece of the Mahayana Sect and causing chaos for the Wei army at the right time, but now it seems that the Mahayana Sect is not controlled, and Fagui is not a suitable leader, just let them make trouble, we had better not interfere." ”

Xu You agreed, and said: "I think the same way, don't send the money and food promised to return to the law, since they occupy Jizhou and wantonly loot the belongings of the gate lord clan, it is estimated that they have collected enough property, more than us, less than us, and so as not to let the Wei army seize the military salary in the end." ”

Zhan Wenjun said with a smile: "It just so happens that the Northern Wei Dynasty is busy pacifying the Mahayana Sect and has no time to interfere with our attack on Yizhou, so this deal is finally not at a loss." ”

"Not bad! Luan Niao's whereabouts are uncertain now, she must be planning a conspiracy behind her back, and the energy of the Northern Wei Dynasty is dragged down by the Mahayana Sect, and she can't make a big mess alone. ”

"Huh?" Dong Solstice suddenly remembered something and said, "When I passed through Qingzhou, I seemed to hear that Bu Tian sold a lot of weapons to the Mahayana Sect, and secretly profited from it......

Xu You said helplessly: "He will make a fortune...... Winter solstice, use the way of the secret mansion to remind him, don't do this kind of thing again, if it is discovered by the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the time comes, send an envoy to question, the court is not easy to explain. ”

"No!"
