A ringing arrow came straight to Jia Chunwang's door, Jia Chunwang hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, and was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat on his back. He turned his head to look and saw hundreds of horsemen rushing towards Xujiabao like a lightning speed. Jia Chunwang saw that there were reinforcements again, and hurriedly ordered the fort soldiers to ignite the fire-starting things that had just been piled up under the dock wall.

Above the arrow tower, Cao Hong saw the cavalry in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said to Su Yun beside him: "Uncle Su, the reinforcements have arrived." ”

I saw that the hundreds of horsemen were coming in an instant, and those fort soldiers saw the enemy, and they did not know how to be afraid, and rushed to the incoming soldiers without fear of death, and there was a middle-aged man dressed as a captain on the head of the incoming soldiers, and only heard his whistle, and the cavalry was divided into two, and in a blink of an eye, the fort soldiers were surrounded, and then the horsemen on the horses drew their crossbows and shots.

In just a few moments, most of the besieged fort soldiers were shot over, and the leading lieutenant whistled again, and the cavalry turned over and dismounted, drew their weapons on horseback, and dismounted and fought with the rest of the fort soldiers.

Cao Hong fixed his eyes and saw that the leading captain was his uncle Han Zhong, so he shouted on the arrow tower: "Uncle, quickly order someone to catch the person he shot just now, don't let him escape." ”

Han Zhong looked up and saw that it was his own nephew, and hurriedly asked the ten horsemen behind him to go to the dock wall to remove the fire-starter, and he looked around for the leader he shot just now.

But in this short period of time, how could there be a shadow of Jia Chunwang, at this time, there were only more than ten fort soldiers left in the field surrounded by cavalry, and those fort soldiers no longer had the madness and bloodthirstiness just now, they dropped their weapons one by one, knelt on the ground, and their bodies trembled.

Cao Hong and Su Yun escorted the Xu family up and down from the dock wall, Han Zhong saw Cao Hong, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hong'er, you scared me to death, I rushed over non-stop after receiving the news, just like that, I still let you encounter such a dangerous thing." Hey......"

Cao Hong smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle, my grandfather often told me that those who know are not confused, those who are benevolent are not worried, and those who are brave are not afraid." I'm prepared, too. ”

After hearing this, Han Zhong complained: "You are prepared, if I hadn't come in time, how would this fire be burning." ”

Cao Hong scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect that there would be so many variables today. ”

Su Yun came from the side at this time, saluted Han Zhong and said, "Young General." ”

Han Zhong hurriedly helped Su Yun up and said, "Fortunately, Brother Su is here, otherwise something will really happen to His Highness today, and Han Zhong will die a hundred times." ”

Su Yun waved his hand and said, "Young General, you are wrong, from beginning to end, His Highness is in command and dispatch, and my old Su is just picking up the missing and filling in the gaps." ”

While everyone was talking, one of the horsemen stepped forward and said, "Captain, the brothers have surrounded this dock fort, but the leader has gone." The rest of the people were either dead or taken into custody, waiting for the captain to be released. ”

Han Zhong nodded and said to Cao Hong: "Your Highness, who is the leader, can you do it if you run away from him?" ”

Cao Hong frowned and said: "I suspect that he is Liu Song's secret spy, infiltrating this Xu Family Fort is to conceal his identity, and the other is to plot to seize the Xu family, using the identity of the Heavenly Master Dao to develop the sect and spy on intelligence. ”

Han Zhong gasped when he heard this and said, "Heavenly Master Dao? How did you get involved with them? ”

Heavenly Master Dao is also called Wudou Mijiao, during the former Han Shun Emperor, Pei Guofeng Zhang Ling left his hometown, came to Shudi, and settled in Heming Mountain to practice, in order to seek the way of immortality. Zhang Daoling's Ben Bo read the Five Classics, and was familiar with the prevailing Huang Laozhixue, Wei Wei thought and immortal magic, based on which he claimed that Taishang Laojun gave the new Zhengyi Alliance Wei Dao, and absorbed some elements of the Ba people's witch religion, and founded the Five Bucket Rice Dao (because the person who enters the Tao must pay five buckets of rice, hence the name). It takes Lao Tzu as the leader, and takes Lao Tzu's "Five Thousand Texts" (i.e., "Tao Te Ching") as the main classic, and is named after the five buckets of rice from its recipients. Its Taoist techniques such as summoning gods and impeaching ghosts, talismans and forbidden spells are directly inherited from the magic of the Han Dynasty alchemists.

In the first year of Emperor Shun's Han An (142), Zhang Ling began to practice medicine and preach in the Bashu area, and the people learned from many people. After Zhang Ling's death, his son Zhang Heng succeeded him; Zhang Heng died, but his son Zhang Lu still preached his word. The world is called "three zhang", and the road is called "three divisions", that is, "heavenly master" Zhang Ling, "heir teacher" Zhang Heng, and "department teacher" Zhang Lu. Through the painstaking management of three generations of their ancestors, Zhengyi gradually formed a complete set of doctrines, rituals, magic and organizational systems.

After Zhang Lu took Hanzhong, Cao Cao led 200,000 troops to break through Yangping Pass, and Zhang Lu led the people to surrender to Cao. Its sect members were also forced to move to Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng and other places to settle, therefore, the Five Bucket Rice Sect affected the Central Plains from the land of Bashu, and later the Jin State was clothed in the south, and the Five Bucket Rice Sect was transmitted to the southeast, after the South Crossing, the small court of the Jin State, most of the big families believed in the Five Bucket Rice Sect, among which the Langya Wang Clan, the Gaoping Xi Clan, the Chenjun Xie Clan, and so on were all big families who believed in the Five Bucket Rice Sect at that time.

After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the north and the south fought every year, and the Wudou Mi Sect was also divided into two factions, the north was headed by Kou Qianzhi and the Heavenly Master Dao was worshiped by Cao Hong's grandfather Cao Qi, Cao Qi also ordered that Kou Qian's master and apprentice built a five-storey Taoist altar in the southeast of the capital, and named it "Xuandu Altar" in accordance with the system of its new scriptures. There are 120 Taoist priests, and the court provides food and clothing. Taoist priests and Taoists "fasted and prayed every day, prayed at six o'clock", and held a "kitchen meeting" once a month, which was attended by thousands of people, and the cost was provided by the state. and issued an edict, ordering that when the later Great Wei Emperor ascended the throne, he must go to the Xuandu Altar to receive the talisman in person before he could ascend the throne. As a result, Kou Qianzhi's Northern Heavenly Master Dao exalted the new law, and the Tao industry flourished.

And the "Lu Master" in Jia Chunwang's mouth, Lu Xiujing, is also a great figure in the world's Heavenly Master.

Lu Xiujing's character Yuande, Wu Xing's eastward migration. A descendant of Lu Kai, the prime minister of Wu of the Three Kingdoms. Shaozong Confucianism, Botong tombs, and Xiangwei. He also likes Taoism and studies jade books. and long, a good party to travel, abandon his wife, into the mountains to cultivate. The first hidden cloud dream, following the immortal capital. In order to search for Taoist books and search for fairy traces, he traveled all over the famous mountains and became famous. At the end of the Song and Yuan dynasties, Lu Xiujing City Medicine to Jingshi, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong admired his Taoism, summoned into the inner palace, and reasoned and said. When the Empress Dowager Wang Yaxin Huang Lao, she descended to the dignity of the queen mother and carried out the rite of discipleship.

Later, he traveled south to avoid chaos. In the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, to Lushan, under the southeast waterfall rock to build a fine house, seclusion and cultivation. Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, Sihong Taoism, and summoned in the Yanxian Hall of Hualin Garden in the first three years of Taishi, "Mr. Lu Jin Emperor ascended, and the Son of Heaven solemnly increased his respect, bowed to himself and asked, and consulted Zongji." Mr. marks the Xuanmen, perfunctory and unified, it is not a wonderful model, and the emperor's heart is pleased". Emperor Ming built the Chongxu Pavilion in Tianyin Mountain in the northern suburbs to live there. During this period, Lu Xiujing "opened the door widely, profoundly promoted the classics, paid attention to the government and the opposition, and returned to the heart." The prosperity of Taoism is prosperous in Si".

The Northern School is good at helping the gods and drawing talismans to suppress disasters, while the Southern Heavenly Master Tao is good at preaching scriptures and preaching teachings. Of course, Taoist priests draw talismans, which are all basic skills, and today Jia Chunwang uses the theory of talismans to confuse the fort soldiers, which is also a common means for the Northern and Southern Heavenly Masters.

Because the northern and southern factions of the Heavenly Master Dao have an inseparable connection with those in power, it is not surprising that Taoist priests travel to other countries in the name of "exchanging Taoism" and "propagating the Dharma", but in fact they do secret espionage. But this Jia Chunwang claims to be the Sizhou Sacrificial Wine, the sacrificial wine controls the affairs of the Dao, and he is the number one person in the lower row of the Heavenly Master, if it is true, then he should be the big leader of the Southern Heavenly Master Dao in the north.

After hearing this, Han Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "It's a pity to let this big fish run away." ”

Cao Hong smiled and said: "Uncle don't be upset, this time it wasn't for the secret spy of the Southern Dynasty, and finding him and pulling out a nail from Liu Song can be regarded as an accident." ”

Han Zhong thought about it, so he smiled and said, "Then the people of the Xu family have all been arrested?" ”

Cao Hong pointed to the people of the Xu family who were surrounded not far away and said, "Except for the two who were stabbed to death, Xu Zhengtai's family is here." ”

At this moment, many people in the distance meandered along the road with torches. Han Zhong said with a smile: "Presumably the foot soldiers have arrived, I am worried that you are in danger, so take the cavalry first, these foot soldiers are all following behind, and they have only arrived now." ”

Cao Hong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Uncle, let these foot soldiers guard Xujiabao to prevent the remnants from making trouble, and I will take the Xu family to rush back to Mengjin overnight to prevent a long night and a lot of dreams." ”

Han Zhong was very happy to see that Cao Hong was handling things in an orderly manner, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's all up to you." ”

By the time Cao Hong, Su Yun and others escorted the Xu family back to Mengjin County, it was already the beginning of the year. As soon as he entered the mansion, Su Jianan greeted him, and when he saw the black ash on Cao Hong and Su Yun's faces, he was shocked and hurriedly asked about today's situation.

Cao Hong said to Su Jianan one by one, Su Jianan patted his chest, and said in shock: "I thought that I would be sure of nine out of ten, but who would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns." I have also paid attention to this Jia Chunwang, in the past, I only thought that he was a slave-like character, who would have thought that he was actually the sacrificial wine of the Heavenly Master. ”

Cao Hong sighed and said: "Yes, this time I boasted that I had Zhizhu in my hands, but I didn't expect to underestimate the world!" ”

Su Jianan said sincerely: "Your Highness is too harsh on yourself, although there are twists and turns today, but Your Highness can calmly give orders, which is beyond the reach of most people, not to mention, Your Highness has already arranged reinforcements just in case." This is even more rare. ”

Cao Hong's face turned red and said: "I asked Wang Ying and others to bring a letter to Yeluxi, asking him to send troops to this Xujiabao by his father, not an unpredictable prophet, but because he was afraid that the relationship between the Xu family and Mengjin would be intertwined, and sending troops was just prepared." ”

Su Jianan grinned and said: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter whether it is intentional or unintentional, the important thing is that the Xu family is captured, and Mengjin Lishu will no longer have to be exploited and violated by this Xu family." ”

Cao Hong heard Su Jianan mention the Xu family, so he said hatefully: "Such a big family, in the fish and meat township, grass and people's lives, if you don't get rid of it, it is not enough for the people to be angry; Not to remove it is not enough to correct discipline. ”
