"General Wenfei was brave for a long time, and the elite of the Tartars were terrified, and the two battles of Linqu shook the Yidu Road, and the people everywhere cheered. General Fei is well-governed, loves the people like a son, the villain has seen it yesterday, it is really like this! Tan Ye said loudly.

"Our army started from the grass, and in the chaotic world, it was only to steal a living. However, the Tartars are tyrannical, the remnants of the people are like pigs and dogs, the people of the world are miserable, I dare not live alone, and now I should take the world as my own responsibility, drive out the Tartars, and rejuvenate China. The soldier, the weapon of the country, is the anointment of the people, if you do not think about the water of the source, how different from the jackal with the face of the beast! Yu Zhilong said, "Seeing the local aborigines being killed by thieves, the situation is unspeakably miserable, asking yourself, beating your chest every time, it is very sad." My Jing'an Army is not unique to me, but the children of the people of the world. Therefore, the special order department has many places to treat kindly, and make every effort to rescue without delay! ”

Yu Zhilong's words were sonorous, not only the generals were surprised, but Xie Lin, Kong Ying and others were all in awe! The guards in the hall were thrilled when they heard this, and they couldn't wait to hold the steel knife in their hands and kill on the battlefield.

Tan Ye was silent for a moment, stood up solemnly and bowed, and said: "What the world says, there are many fallacies, although the little one knows about the general's Linqu, but he is not fortunate to face the teachings, I don't know that the general has such ambitions!" No wonder the Jing'an Army is thriving! ”

"As the previous general said, the villain is a disciple of the local Maitreya Sect Yangshuo, since the birth of the Ming King, after the assembly of the world's aspirants to resist the Tartars, the Yidu Road Sect has many people who respond to the banner, but the sky does not fake people's wishes, to the eleventh year of the Yingshang just after the incident, the Ming King was killed by the Tartars. Many of the Yidu Road Sects were pursued by the imperial court and imprisoned, and the villain had no choice but to follow Yangshi to continue to preach incognito in the Yizhou territory. ”

Yu Zhilong knew how much since Liu Futong's incident, the congregations in various places were taken by the local government of the Yuan Court, and many people were imprisoned, and the left side of Yidu City was almost swept away. However, there are still remnants of activity in the more remote areas around it, but it is difficult to achieve the climate.

A few days ago, I heard that the Jing'an army attacked Yishui City, and the Yangshi was overjoyed, and personally went to see the general Wu Side, the defender of the city, and was willing to join hands to resist the Yuan, but General Wu rejected the Yangshi's proposal on the grounds that he could appease the people and not sweep away the local officials, businessmen and gentry. Only then did the Yang Master contact Shi Zebo and some big households, and took advantage of the gap to increase the city. ”

Yu Zhilong sneered: "I think that your Yangshi Yangshuo is also a poor person, and he is rarely allowed to be bullied by those officials, businessmen and gentry, and he has the intention of revenge in his heart. I was happy for many years. ”

"The anti-Yuan act is commendable, but it should not harm the people!" Yu Zhilong Road.

Tan Ye was speechless for a while, and sighed slightly for a long time.

"I am also a disciple of Master Yang, and I sincerely respect my lord, but I have different ideas on how to treat these squires and even private families. Don't hide it from the general, although the Yang Master acts happily and vengefully, but there are innocent people or those who are not guilty of this kind of crime are implicated, and they are robbed of their homes and property, and even lose their lives. How is this different from tyranny? The villain has also been repeatedly persuaded, but it has made the Yang master unhappy, and in a hurry, he actually broke off the friendship between master and apprentice, so that his subordinates want to harm us. The villain had to lead his followers to hide in the wilderness. I came to meet the general today, and I hope that the general will send a benevolent and righteous army to solve the emergency of my small people! ”

Yu Zhilong was speechless for a long time. Yangshuo wants to vent his anger and revenge, or covet the benefits of a city, which is different from Tan Ye's concept, judging from the current situation, no matter what, Yu Zhilong will not negotiate with Yangshuo, let alone Shi Zebo.

Tan Ye said clearly, Yu Zhilong ordered the guards to serve tea, Tan Ye took it, thanked him, and then returned to his seat.

"Tan Zhuangshi's meaning, the general has already understood, but Maitreya and I are not friends or enemies, if the two armies are in front of the battle, how can you get along?" Yu Zhilong asked as he drank a cup of tea.

"My religion originated in Xianliang and flourished in Datang. Nowadays, the believers are flourishing and widely spread in the four townships. However, Maitreya was born, originally to save the world. Since he is to save the world and save the people, he should not wantonly kill and plunder, occupy other people's wives and daughters, and rob other people's money. A small man is weak and cannot be reversed, and he has long heard that General Fei is in Linqu to collect displaced people, divide acres of land, allocate cattle and sheep to farmers, and form associations to build water conservancy. This has the style of Maitreya Puji to the people. Yesterday, the small special relatives came to visit near Baijiazhai, the Jing'an army did not commit any crimes in the autumn, the army not only stationed outside the village, but also divided the manpower in the army to help repair the huts, and gave the victims rice and grain to live. ”

Tan Ye paused and said: "The villain only came to survive the troubled times of the local Li people, and he didn't dare to indulge himself with the same religion, if the general did not give up, there are still some like-minded people under the small people, and they are also willing to serve the general." I just beg the general to take the city once he still falls and shows mercy, and forgives the children who have gone astray in my sect! ”

Yu Zhilong turned his head to look at Yu Shichang, and Yu Shichang said: "When this person came, he said that there were still three or four hundred accomplices, and his subordinates ordered him to rest in the woods five miles outside the village, and sent a team of people to take care of them. ”

It is said to be a caretaker, but it is actually a warning. Yu Shichang did not say it explicitly, and Yu Zhilong nodded secretly.

After thinking about it, Yu Zhilong said: "The matter is big, and let me think about it, Tan Zhuangshi can turn around and wait for the news, and discuss it early tomorrow morning." ”

Tan Ye knew that he had appeared abruptly, and it was expected that Yu Zhilong would say this, so he withdrew after giving a salute and returned to the woods.

"Go and invite Xie Lin and Mu Chun, Qian Zheng is here to discuss the matter." Yu Zhilong commanded.

The guards received the order and went out separately to summon people.

After a while, everyone rushed to hear the summons, and Yu Zhilong discussed the siege of the city in the lobby.

First of all, Yu Zhilong briefly explained Tan Ye's intentions and plans, and he wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience first.

Now, if it is not an urgent military situation, it has to be decided immediately, Yu Zhilong usually summons everyone, expresses their opinions, and then decides.

Xie Lin said first: "Although the Maitreya Sect is called Jishi, since Li Tang, there have been many strongmen who have used it as a name, entangled the people who did not know what to do, and blatantly caused chaos. The reason for this is that most of the measures taken by the dynasties to govern the people are due to the accumulation of evils and difficulties to return, and the people of the world are miserable, accumulated for a long time, and once they broke out, these sects are just taking advantage of the situation and widely forming associations to gather people. Yellow Turbans and Green Eyebrows are all lessons from the past, this matter involves Esoteric Buddhism, adults should be cautious! ”

"Xie County Yin can teach me?" Yu Zhilong asked.

"Don't dare, my lord praised it! The subordinates only heard that the esoteric religion in the world took advantage of the situation to gather people and cause chaos, but they did not hear that a certain dynasty and a certain generation were established because of the religion and prospered because of the teaching! After a simple sentence, Schelling bowed and withdrew.

He secretly pondered that although Zhilong and himself had many discussions on the way to govern the people, they had never touched on the views of doctrinal sects.

Since he didn't know what Yu Zhilong meant, Xie Lin simply stated his personal opinion. As a long-term ruling party, Yuan Ting County Yin, Xie Lin did not like these sect elements who gathered people in tandem and often encouraged the people at the bottom to hate the government and openly oppose them.

Qian Zheng said with a big grin: "If it is available, you might as well use it first, if he dares to have a different heart, I am willing to try the knife with it!" "He's practical. If you can use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, you will kill it.

Yu Zhilong looked at Mu Chun, Mu Chun muttered: "I think this Tan Ye is very different from Yangshuo, Yangshuo is bad for our army's major affairs, and the crime is unforgivable, if this Tan Ye is dedicated to the people and does not do anything out of line, he might as well befriend him, after all, he is a local native and is familiar with geography and people." ”

Mu Chun rebelled in Xuzhou that year, Sesame Li and Liu Futong echoed each other, and there were many religious believers in the army, who were not disgusted with Mu Chun.

Seeing Yu Zhilong's gaze turning, Meng Chang arched his hand and said: "What the adults have done, there are difficulties and dangers ahead, only by gathering manpower and working together can there be a time when the dragon flies for nine days." Although this Tan Ye is a religious person, but listening to his words, he is quite compassionate, which is completely different from that Yangshuo, the so-called listening to his words and watching his deeds, you might as well use it first, this person knows the details of Yangshuo, and this time the city is just to ask the truth. ”

"Han Sheng also feels the same way, if he is obsessed, it will not be too late to deal with it after taking the city." Kong Ying continued, "If it is available, you still need to carefully observe its reality and reality, I heard that there are still hundreds of sect members outside the village, you can tolerate a certain view, and then come to tell you." What's more, there are many homeless parishioners in various places, and with this son as a name, they can also win the hearts of the congregational people. ”

Qu Bo and the rest of the people only said: Everything is under the orders of General Fei!

Yu Zhilong nodded, most of them agreed to accept it for their own use first, and then look at the after-effects. Xie Lin silently listened to the audience's statement, and Fu Xu said no more.

"There's no rush ahead of time." Yu Zhilong said to Shichang again: "Shichang entered the city this time, and he knows a lot about the enemy, so it is better to send Xizuo and the natives into the city again, and form more dissatisfied people in the city, thinking that it should be internal." Taking advantage of the fact that Shi Zebo and Yangshuo are not firmly established, they can be captured after nightfall tomorrow. ”

Yu Shichang received the order and said: "So-and-so, find Bai Shixuan, and then send a capable person into the city." ”

"It's never too late to make a plan before you go." Yu Zhilong hurriedly shouted to Yu Shichang, who wanted to leave.

Qu Bo couldn't help asking: "Yangshuo, Tan Ye is a Maitreya teacher, in case this Tan Ye is the person sent by Yangshuo-" He was worried that Tan Ye's intentions were insincere, and reminded everyone of the scheme.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience also hesitated, and they didn't make up their minds, and looked at Yu Zhilong.

Yu Zhilong shook his head slowly: "This Tan Ye has a clear gaze, a resolute attitude and a coherent tone, and there is no deception, I don't think so." ”

Yu Zhilong asked the locals of the Bai family: "Do you know this Tan Ye character?" ”

The surname Zheng said: "I know how many small ones are." This Tan Ye was originally a Wulian family, his family was poor, his mother was still there, and he had never married a wife, although he did not know the secret of his teaching, but he had a good reputation in the township, helping the old and helping the young, and being anxious for justice and righteousness. Most of those who have disputes with their neighbors have asked for justice, and there is no disrespect. ”

"That's it! Those who can act impartially will not do it deliberately. "Yu Zhilong has the final word." Our army is in a hurry, and Yangshuo and Tan Ye not only can't predict this, but even they can't think of it. Even if Tan Ye and the others want to harm our army, instead of using the space, it is better to set up an ambush and bend hundreds of people, how useful can it be? ”

Qian Zhengdao: "This Tan Ye is a person in the sect, he must be familiar with Yangshuo, it is better to let him choose a reliable one, and then mix in the hundreds of elite people of our department, and blend into the city, whether there is a response in the city or not, tonight the army will attack the city." If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that Shi Zebo and Yangshuo will find out that our army has arrived in Baijiazhai. ”

Yu Zhilong pondered it and felt that although Tan Ye was credible, his military plan was still safe, and his disciples could use it, and whether it was useful or not had to be seen in person.

Since it is an attack on the city, it should be strange and fast first. Although Shi Zebo, Yangshuo, and the Han army are not subordinate to each other, after all, there are many people and horses, and if they rely on Gaocheng to defend it, it is very likely that they will be stalemate under the city.

Yu Zhilong and everyone carefully planned how to attack, Baijiazhai is only twenty miles away from Yishui City, walk fast, and you can reach it in an hour. If the color is still bright today, and the time is in time, now I only hope that Shi Zebo did not send a scout horse outside the city to listen to the news here.

After a brief discussion, Yu Zhilong ordered Yu Shichang to find Bai Shixuan's assistance, and immediately arranged for the credible family to lead more than a dozen of the most elite guards to the county seat in advance.

By this time it was almost twilight. Yu Zhilong talked about Tan Ye, and after eating with everyone, he took Xie Lin, Kong Ying, Meng Chang, and Jin Yan out of the village to find Tan Ye, and Lao Jing and other guards accompanied him with knives.

Out of the village not a few miles, through the Jing'an army station, see a dark shadow in front of the distance, it is that wood, the Jing'an army is mostly stationed outside the village, there is no one else here except for the patrol soldiers and a few houses.

Before the people arrived, they saw a faintly beating bonfire in front of them, and Yu Zhilong and the others heard a faint sound of words in the distance, and when they got closer, they could tell that it was singing.

Everyone was amazed, in this troubled time, could it be that these Maitreya disciples were singing for fun?

Everyone lowered their pace lightly and moved forward slowly, a few Jing'an Army patrol soldiers happened to be outside to supervise, and when they saw General Fei coming in person, they wanted to come forward to meet him, Yu Zhilong waved his hand to stop it, Lao Jingben wanted to light up the torch, and Yu Zhilong also stopped him. The crowd went into the forest in the dark.

There was no sentry outside the forest, and everyone went into the woods. At this time, the population was already declining, and this was a barren forest, and the forest was full of low shrubs. Yu Zhilong looked at the bushes curiously.

When I finally walked in, I saw hundreds of people gathered in front of me, and a large bonfire was lit in the open space in the middle, and the flames were burning, nearly one person high, and these hundreds of people added firewood to it from time to time, stirring up countless orange and yellow sparks to fly out of the firewood.

The bonfire crackled and burned, emitting light and heat, and hundreds of people snuggled up to keep warm. At this time, it is already winter, the night turns cold, these people have no hut to avoid the cold, and many have no cotton clothes to keep warm, and it is naturally extremely difficult to spend the night in the wild.

Although the Jing'an army had military tents to help them escape the cold, or vacated empty houses in Baijiazhai to help them live temporarily, Yu Zhilong did not want to rush to help these sectists. He didn't know the roots of these people, and for safety, he just arranged for them to stay in this forest, and sent soldiers outside the forest to supervise them.

The footsteps of the crowd were slight, and there was no sound, so they did not alarm Tan Ye and the others.

After a while, only a low and hoarse voice began to sing, and gradually everyone sang in unison, and the song slowly drifted through the forest.

"Singing about wine, what is life? For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. What joy in life, what sorrow in death, for the good to eliminate evil, light me Maitreya. Joy and sorrow are dust.

"It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. Have mercy on the world, and be troubled by many people. Have mercy on me, and bother me a lot! ”

The song is low and long, and the congregation sings it repeatedly, and Yu Zhilong's ancient knowledge is limited, so he listened to it three times before he understood the general meaning of the word.

He pondered the lyrics in his heart, and gradually became a little crazy. Looking back at Xie Lin, Kong Ying and the others, their faces were solemn, and then at Lao Jing and the other guards, they were confused, and they didn't know why, they only felt that the sect members were in a low mood and their minds were complicated.

"This song is borrowed from Wei Wu, but it is straightforward and apt for troubled times." For a long time, Kong Ying sighed.

Xie Lin nodded slightly: "For the above, it is unkind, and the people are treated like dogs, and the small people are born at the wrong time, and they are displaced, and they think about change bitterly, which is natural." Although he didn't like Maitreya, he was unwilling to be corrupted by the Yuan court at this time.

"Wei Wu's poems are really excellent, a little higher than those artistic conceptions of singing flowers and sighing emptyly! If Xie Xianyin has time, he might as well find his masterpieces for me and take a closer look. Yu Zhilong commanded.

"Subordinates obey."

Emperor Wu of Wei's life can be described as magnificent, although the world has a mixed reputation for it, but his meritorious deeds are irrefutable. Yu Zhilong's appreciation of his poems shows that his ambitions are similar, which is a great thing for Xie Lin, Kong Ying and others. Meng Chang and Jin Yan's eyes were shining in the dark night, and they became more and more interested in this flying general.

Everyone stood quietly outside, listened again, and saw Tan Ye pacing slowly in front of the bonfire, he held a short wooden arm thick in both hands, and continued to raise and strike each other with the rhythm of the song, and many sect members were holding wooden sticks, and they all responded with a pause.

There is a lot of text in this chapter, and I wanted to add some more material.
