By the afternoon, the mutinous rebels had finally quieted down.

There's no way, I haven't eaten since the morning, and after a day of tossing, I'm so hungry that my chest is close to my back, how can I still have the strength to make a fuss?

With an army of more than 100,000 people, Liu Wen basically wiped them all out without much effort, so to speak, this was a victory that was picked up.

After the rest of the people were captured, Liu Wen sent someone to count the number of people, and someone reported that there were more than 70,000 prisoners that night, and the rest either ran away or were killed by their comrades in the mutiny.

As for the injured, not a single one. These rebels are a group of outlaws, mutinied, and for those who have a grudge against the past, it is to the death.

The counties of Longxi are all border counties, and many counties do not even have a population of 10,000 due to the restrictions of living conditions.

Of course, there are so few registered people, and there are also reasons why the emperor is far away and the land is vast and sparsely populated, so many people lie about their household registration and evade taxes.

However, in this era, there are no pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and the carrying capacity of the land is limited, and the total population of Longxi can add up to 500,000 households.

This rebellion instigated more than 100,000 people, which is definitely a big blow to the locality, plus the previous Xue Ju time, the entire Longxi is not ten rooms and nine empty, and it is also fast.

The next day, Liu Wen led the army to escort the captive squad division back to Daxing, and in the afternoon, he suddenly noticed several murderous spirits coming from both sides of the road, and as soon as he ordered to stop and prepare for the battle, there were six groups of men and horses, from the east, south, and north to kill violently.

"Archer, release the arrow!" Liu Wen shouted loudly.

The shout was magical, and it was clearly transmitted miles away. The archers who received the order did so one after another, but there were too many people and horses killed, and as if they were enchanted, they rushed forward without fear of death, and soon came together with the Sui army.

What made Liu Wen feel even more helpless was that his army still held more than 70,000 prisoners, and after they got the opportunity, they also began to fight.

Of course, this group of captives were all aimlessly killed, killing both Sui troops, ambush soldiers, and even their own people.

Suddenly, these soldiers and horses were in a mess, Liu Wen let his henchmen protect the eldest grandson Wuji, and he clashed back and forth in the chaotic army, although he killed many people and horses other than the Sui army, but now the situation has become a pot of porridge, although the other soldiers and horses have suffered heavy casualties, but they are not afraid, but the Sui army, which has been following Liu Wen to fight with the wind, is demoralized at this moment.

Fortunately, the time of the ambush was in the afternoon, and soon it was dark, Liu Wen shouted loudly, beckoned his family and horses to gather around, and then led them to kill a few back and forth with great momentum, and finally killed the sneak attack of the six people and prisoners.

Later, he found a place nearby to go down to the village, counted the losses, and found that in this chaotic battle, more than 20,000 Sui soldiers lost nearly half of the people.

If it hadn't been dark early, and after a while, Liu Wen's men would have no soldiers available.

Because Liu Wen was protected, the eldest grandson Wuji was not injured, which made him very moved.

In the afternoon of the next day, a sentry finally came to report to Liu Wenyu: "Chitose, the people and horses who attacked yesterday have already found out the way to come." ”

"Oh? What a person! ”

While Liu Wen spoke, the eldest grandson Wuji also looked at the sentry with curiosity.

"Back to Chitose, the rebel is called Xiang Haiming, a demon monk from Fufeng County, he claims to be Maitreya descended into the world, and often uses witchcraft to confuse people. The deceived people of Sanfu all called him the Great Sage. When you were fighting against Xue Rengao, he took the opportunity to raise troops, and now he has captured several counties one after another, and his subordinates have gathered tens of thousands of disciples......"

Hearing the news, Liu Wen immediately understood that when he left, he felt that the wrong mastermind was behind the scenes, and it was Xiang Haiming.

It's a lot of trouble this time.

Sanfu is the three counties of Jingzhao, Fengyi, and Fufeng, although Yang Guang has moved the capital, many things have not been completed, and now Sanfu is still the core area of the Great Sui.

These localities have a large number of officials, a large population, and a large number of talents of all kinds.

Now it has made a demon monk a climate, and even if he is exterminated, the blow to the Great Sui will be very serious.

Although Liu Wen replaced Sui's idea again, many preparations were not done well, so he naturally did not want Da Sui to fall early.

What's even more hateful is that this Xiang Haiming actually used religion, and he still used Buddhism, which is a big trouble!

You must know that since the notice of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties began to develop more and more prosperously.

Yang Jian was raised in a Buddhist temple, so he attached much more importance to Buddhism than many emperors. Even Yang Guang was influenced by him and believed in Buddhism very much. So this Buddhism was very marketable in the Sui Dynasty.

In fact, after Liu Wen learned about it, he knew that the real Buddhism was not as bad as later generations imagined. However, it is too difficult to really want to practice Buddhism, from men and women who have just come into contact with Buddhism to real monks, I don't know how many scriptures to learn.

It's just that many people are lazy and hard-working.

What Buddhist scriptures you tell them, they don't understand at all, and they even get drowsy.

But if a liar performs a little trick, comes to a water charm to cure the sick or something, and those who are lazy will be convinced and become loyal believers of those liars.

In fact, they do not believe in the Buddha, but in the crooked ways of demons.

Xiang Haiming was originally a novice who had just received the Ten Precepts, but later found that learning Buddhism was boring and far less exciting than he imagined.

So he left the mountain gate, and I don't know where to learn some evil magic, and after leaving the mountain, he used these spells to deceive people.

Gradually, he became a living bodhisattva in the hearts of the ignorant people, and a guest of honor and dignitaries.

Over time, he developed a large potential force, which provided a strong guarantee for his rebellion.

This time, he calculated Liu Wen completely prepared, and even secretly inquired about Liu Wen's news through many dignitaries in advance.

If it weren't for his misestimation of Liu Wen's strength this time, I'm afraid that this time, Liu Wen would have already led more than a dozen henchmen to escape, and then was intercepted by his ambush soldiers halfway.

In this situation, there is a huge disparity between the enemy's and our forces, and the Sui army has suffered heavy losses, and the situation of the Beijing division is unclear, so the best choice is undoubtedly to return to Daxing as soon as possible, and then make a decision.

But without waiting for Liu Wen to order, a system prompt popped up again in front of him:

Spawn a new branch: Win more with less (With the current strength, defeat Xiang Haiming's rebels.) Rewards: 10 blessing cards, 3 origin points)

'! There are only ten blessing cards, and they want to force me to work hard! Liu Wen scolded in his heart.

What annoyed him the most was that he had obviously defeated Bai Yushao, and the main quest of the Mighty Western Regions showed that it had not been completed.

But scolding and scolding, Liu Wen really doesn't have many blessing cards in hand now.

Sometimes, the blessing card is really very useful, and so far, the system has opened two card upgrades, and there is no option to redeem the blessing card.

Liu Wen wants to get this kind of good thing, so he can only work hard to complete the task.

Therefore, he pretended not to listen to the advice of the eldest grandson Wuji, and insisted on leading the remnants of the defeated army to fight a decisive battle with Xiang Haiming.
