Chapter 174
Beigong Boyu's speed of action did not slow down because of the bloated nature of his tribe. He quickly got a lot of new information from his men.
Zhao Yun did acquiesce to Zhou Qun to spread the Pangu Sect among the 20,000 cavalry he controlled, and he had now developed forty percent of his soldiers into believers, which made Zhou Qun very satisfied, and also saved Zhao Yun a lot of trouble when mobilizing this army.
However, there has been a significant increase in brawls in the military. When Pangu first began to spread, Protestants were all holding their tails between their legs, for fear of causing others to fight together, but now that they are stronger, they are not as polite as before, so conflicts inevitably arise.
Zhao Yun also had a headache about this matter, you must know that when Zhou Qun first came here to spread the Pangu Sect, he and most of the soldiers agreed to their request for the sake of Suning's face, but now it is mainly those disciples who are provoking the incident, which makes Zhao Yun quite unhappy.
In the face of the provocation of the cultists, even if Suning had just won a big victory, the soldiers of Huangzhong Yicong responded without scruples. Zhao Yun admired this courageous spirit, but he soon discovered that there were people who were involved in organizing among the soldiers from beginning to end, especially in the recent conflicts, which showed more and more this situation.
Zhao Yun suddenly discovered a very grim fact, the disciples he didn't support didn't support him, and the other group of people he admired more already had their own organizers. I couldn't imagine that I, who had outstanding military achievements and prestige, would fall into such a field.
In this regard, he could only go to Suning's residence and ask the lord who was younger than him to give him advice.
But as soon as he got there, he found that he was not the only guest in Suning's house.
That kid from Zhou Qun actually rushed there in advance, and the wicked person sued first!
Zhao Yun stood outside the door and listened to the conversation between him and Suning clearly.
"My lord, General Zhao, whom you trust, may still not understand who he is fighting against." Zhou Qun's first sentence hit the itch of Suning and Zhao Yun at the same time, on the one hand, he emphasized that the relationship between Suning and Zhao Yun is very iron, but on the other hand, he also emphasized that Zhao Yun does not seem to be able to deeply understand Suning's true intentions.
Suning slowly narrowed his eyes, this kind of talking routine belongs to a relatively advanced way of sowing discord. He didn't know when the young Zhou Qun had learned such a profound strategy.
This made him begin to suspect that Zhou Qun's father, Zhou Yuan. However, although that guy likes ancient learning, he is not proficient in these routines in officialdom. Then this can only show that this young child, in the struggle of these days, has slowly mastered the methods of these struggles.
It's a terrible mode of growth, and in a short period of time, it turns a simple and studious child into a cunning guy like a viper.
Suning gradually raised his vigilance, not only did he have to listen to the problem brought by Zhou Qun, and make all preparations to solve it, but also pay attention to the changes in Zhou Qun's words and behaviors, he didn't want this child to sink and become a lamb who lost himself in the spread of religion.
So he slowly asked, "Then who do you think our struggle is mainly aimed at?" ”
"In my opinion, our main purpose now is to hand over as many 20,000 cavalry as possible and take them into our own hands. Although they are now under the command of General Zhao, after all, they are borrowed soldiers from Beigong Boyu, sooner or later, they will return to their own tribe, and our control over them will change because of the relationship with Beigong Boyu, if the relationship between our two sides breaks down, then, the 20,000 cavalry will be out of our control, according to the current situation, the loss of 20,000 troops may also have a fatal impact on us, not to mention that after he leaves us, It is also possible to throw directly at the side that opposes us. ”
Song Ning very much agreed with this analysis of the situation, and at present, their military operations in Dunhuang and Jiuquan counties were gradually coming to an end, and with the help of local residents and troops, the castle and barbed wire fence had pushed the defensive line near Yumen Pass.
Now is the perfect time to turn around and deal with the southeast. If the ownership of the 20,000 cavalry suddenly flips, it will have a significant impact on future strategy.
So Su Ning nodded slowly and agreed: "Your understanding in this direction may indeed be clearer than General Zhao, however, to achieve your goal, I am afraid that General Zhao's cooperation is also needed, his prestige in the army should have been your help, but now you come to me to say that he is not, this is probably not a wise decision." ”
Zhou Xun obviously agreed with Suning's point of view, he first nodded and said, "The lord's analysis is very reasonable!" General Zhao Yun should have been the top priority in this matter! It's a pity that he doesn't seem to be interested in the teachings we spread, but gets very close to those who don't believe in religion, and those people have already had their own organizations because of their opposition to us, and some of them are very closely connected with Beigong Boyu's side, otherwise, they wouldn't feel that they have something to rely on behind them, and they will become more and more presumptuous. ”
"So what do you think went wrong? Why is General Zhao reluctant to listen to your preaching? Does it mean that your views are grossly contrary to his beliefs? But as far as I know, General Zhao escorts several elementary school students to school every day, and the students often talk about things in the school on the road, and General Zhao is not ignorant of our learning, so why would he oppose your religion? Most of your teachings are inherited from me here, and the knowledge in those schools is actually the same, although they have the same origin but different sects, but after all, your core values are the same, I really don't understand why General Zhao would oppose you. ”
"Because he thinks we're encroaching on his command and usurping his authority to command the army."
As soon as Zhou Qun's words came out, he immediately made Suning realize that a serious problem was coming at him, as Zhou Qun's Pangu religion became more and more prosperous, it may affect more fields in the future, and his extroversion was not obvious, and he would not take the initiative to jump out of his sphere of influence to preach outside, because their teachings were slightly esoteric and could not be accepted by strangers in a short period of time. On the contrary, in the eyes of insiders with a certain knowledge base, it seems that the ideas are very profound and attractive.
Today, it is not only some city dwellers and intellectuals who have embraced this faith, but also in the military.
Although the original purpose of the middle school was to help Suning completely master the borrowed 20,000 cavalry, judging from the current situation, his infiltration of the army is likely to instinctively arouse the disgust of the military commander.
If its tentacles reach other newly established armies, then it is difficult to say who will be the commander of this force.
In other words, he will not only risk usurping the rights of his commanders, but will also eventually cut off Suning's command of these armies.
Suning finally laughed stupidly, he didn't expect that this religion created by his own mind would have enough power to control himself in a short period of time!
Helpless, he had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh, smiling in the face of Zhou Qun's doubts.
And he didn't notice that Zhou Qun, who was standing in front of him, suddenly shivered in a trance, and he seemed to have read something terrible from the teacher's long sigh to the sky.
At this moment, the observation accumulated for him by more than a year of missionary career made him understand the teacher's mentality in an instant, and he was still a good student who could be trusted in the teacher's heart, but the teacher never thought that the rights that he, a good student, now has, could easily do to the point of marrying a teacher!
He felt a chill for a while, if it weren't for the full understanding between the teacher and the student, I am afraid that after this matter, the teacher would have to get rid of him quickly.
But now, the teacher just looks up to the sky and sighs, instead of being silent on the surface and secretly gathering strength, which shows that the teacher has no murderous intentions towards him at all, but only sighs that the world is impermanent, and creation makes people.
On the one hand, he was thanking Mr. Zhao for his trust and tolerance, but on the other hand, he was also instinctively vigilant, he didn't know if the teacher's thoughts would change in the future, in short, his necklace head, since today, may fall to the ground at any time.
And the executioner who made this change is likely to be the teacher who looked up to the sky and sighed in front of him, the one who once helped her answer her questions and tell him the truth of all things between heaven and earth.
It was obviously difficult for him to accept this, when he took him on a mission, he had encountered many raids by nomadic tribes, and he had also faced many threats from nomadic leaders, but he was determined to overcome them one by one, but now, when he finally achieved something, it turned out to be the teacher who had led him on this path, exuding a light that gradually threatened his life, which made him not feel panicked and helpless in his heart?
Suddenly, he also wanted to follow the teacher's example, looking up to the sky and sighing, but he didn't make the action so obvious. He just sighed faintly, so as not to be rude in front of the teacher.
At this time, Suning had recovered from the two-day normal state, and the expression on Zhou Qun's face was just taken into his eyes by him who was looking straight ahead.
The eyes of the two people were also intertwined, and the entire hall instantly fell into a cold silence, and there was not a single superfluous voice that dared to disturb their eye contact at this time, as if time had stopped flowing in order to allow them to calm their emotions earlier.
But at this moment, the voice of an uninvited guest came from behind Zhou Qun.
"I am indeed disgusted by Sect Leader Zhou's missionary actions, and I feel that my soldiers have another strange thought, they are not willing to act according to the laws of the army! Rather prefer to follow certain forms of doctrine. ”
This person is Zhao Yun who was waiting outside the door just now, he heard all the conversations between Suning and Zhou Qun, but he didn't notice what the feelings of the two people were, although he is not a reckless martial artist, but the topic of the two has involved some issues that he is concerned about, especially about the ownership of military power, he believes that the command should be handed over to the generals with troops, not a group of religious elements who do not understand military affairs, at least, the loyalty of those soldiers should belong to the generals, should belong to the lord, And not the so-called doctrines.
Suning and Zhou Qun's eye contact, as Zhao Yun walked into the hall, disappeared without a trace in an instant, Suning's ability to adjust his emotions, because he had 46 years of experience in his previous life, and was much faster than Zhou Qun, so he switched to the best expression in an instant to deal with Zhao Yun's accusation of Zhou Qun.
"I know what the forms you are talking about, they are just some of the rituals organized by the believers, and those rituals are very important for uniting the believers, which is psychologically reasonable, speaking of which, most of the rituals were designed by me, of course, at that time, I didn't think of the impact they might have in the army, this is my problem, not the matter of Sect Master Zhou."
Seeing that the teacher took the initiative to stop the responsibility, Zhou Qun didn't know what to say for a while. He was still in the cold of life and death just now, and now, once again, he was wrapped in the warmth he was familiar with, and the teacher's care always seemed to be so meticulous, but from then on, there seemed to be an inexplicable and wonderful separation between him and this once familiar meticulousness.
All his life, he didn't notice what this pattern was. Although in his memoirs, which he wrote later in life, he referred to this isolation as the fear of death. It is precisely because he is afraid of death that he is worried that the teacher will take him away, so he makes undue doubts about the teacher, but Suning does not recognize this, he thinks that fear of death is the right of all people, which should not affect each other's trust, it is Zhou Qun who has always thought that he needs to have absolute trust in the teacher, so he mistakenly produced a betrayal emotion, in fact, this kind of guilt similar to betrayal should not have appeared in her life, because he has the right to choose betrayal.
Of course, if he really betrayed, Suning would definitely take measures, but although the relationship between the two had ups and downs later, in the end there was no unpleasantness of misfire, and Suning was still the most trusted head of all the sects! And Zhou Qun, who deals with affairs specifically, is also deeply loved by the big guys.
But what Zhao Yun raised was not only accusations, but also a problem that urgently needed to be solved. That is, the management of religion and the army, and whose hands should it belong?
In this regard, Suning already has his own opinion.
