Section 12 Maitreya Village
The next morning, on the banks of the Xiaozhan River.
Liu Yunwei and Sun Yuanhua stood on the bank of the river chatting while looking at the Xiaozhan River in front of them. I saw an arch bridge in front of me that was some years old across the Xiaozhan River, and the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion were crossing the Xiaozhan River through the arch bridge in an orderly manner.
Liu Yunwei looked at the soldiers who were crossing the river and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Mr. Sun, most of the soldiers have already crossed the river, let's go over too." ”
Sun Yuanhua smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
After that, the two rode their horses across the river together, and just after crossing the arch bridge, they saw Wen Poyu talking to a few Ye Bushu. Liu Yunwei saw that he thought something was going on again, so he and Sun Yuanhua rode over to ask.
Liu Yunwei asked, "Po Yu, is there anything wrong?" ”
Wen Poyu looked back and saw that it was Liu Yunwei and Sun Yuanhua, so he said, "It just so happens that the eldest brother and Mr. Sun are here, and I am about to look for you." ”
"Is there really something?" Liu Yunwei said in some surprise.
Wen Poyu nodded and said, "Big brother, just now these brothers went to the front to take a look and met a village. After checking it out, the brothers noticed something unusual, and thought that the village was most likely a Maitreya village. ”
Liu Yunwei didn't understand for a while, and he didn't understand what Wen Poyu meant by "Maitreya Village", so he asked, "What is Maitreya Village?" ”
At this time, Sun Yuanhua on the side frowned and said, "I think the Maitreya Village that Wen General said refers to the village that believes in the Smelling Fragrance Sect." ”
Wen Poyu nodded and said, "Mr. Sun is right, that's what I meant. Because the incense sect worships a Maitreya Buddha, the brothers in the camp now call those incense people Maitreya, and the village where the incense people gather is called Maitreya Village. ”
Liu Yunwei suddenly realized and said: "So that's the case, what is the specific situation in the village?" ”
Wen Poyu motioned to a person beside him to answer, and that night did not accept to Liu Yunwei and Sun Yuanhua, and said: "General Qiyu, when I found that Maitreya Village in front, I saw hundreds of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, and a middle-aged man stood among the villagers, who was teaching some scriptures to those villagers. At that time, the emotions of those villagers were all very abnormal, as if they had been enchanted by the collective, which was very terrifying. ”
Liu Yunwei listened to the words of Ye Buhui, his face suddenly changed, and he asked, "Are those villagers the same as those incense people we saw in Dengzhou City?" ”
"Yes, it's the same as the rioters I encountered in the Dengzhou schoolyard." Ye Bushu continued: "At that time, we felt that the situation was wrong, so we wanted to go forward and take a closer look, but we didn't expect that the middle-aged man who was explaining the Buddhist scriptures to the people suddenly pointed at us, and I didn't know what to say to the people, so those people all rushed towards us, shouting and shouting and killing, one by one, as if they had seen enemies for several lifetimes. ”
Sun Yuanhua was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then you have a conflict with those villagers?" ”
That night did not accept and quickly shook his head and said: "Of course not, we saw that something happened suddenly, and we hurriedly evacuated there, and there was no head-on conflict with the villagers in the village, and then we hurriedly came back to report the news." ”
Sun Yuanhua relieved himself and said: "That's good, if we have a bloody incident with the local villagers, it is hard to guarantee that the Wenxiang Sect will not make a big fuss about this matter, and then we will become the target of public criticism." ”
Liu Yunwei nodded, and was about to ask some more details, but suddenly remembered a detail that Ye Buhui had just said, and then asked Ye Buhui: "You just said that there is a middle-aged man lecturing in that village?" What kind of middle-aged man is he? ”
Ye Bushu recalled for a moment and said, "That middle-aged man is about thirty or forty years old, and his face is very vicissitudes. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yunwei's face became gloomy, and he said to Sun Yuanhua and Wen Poyu: "That middle-aged man in Maitreya Village should be the backbone of the Wenxiang Sect who incited the people to besiege the soldiers of my Hanwei battalion in the Dengzhou school field. ”
Sun Yuanhua and Wen Poyu were both taken aback when they heard this.
Wen Poyu said: "Big brother, do you want me to take the cavalry to surround the general brothers to surround that village to prevent the backbone of the Smelling Fragrance Sect from escaping?" ”
Before Liu Yunwei could speak, Sun Yuanhua said to Wen Poyu: "Mr. Wen, don't be impatient for a while." Then he said to Liu Yunwei: "Mr. Liu Qian, why do I think what this Smelling Fragrance Sect is doing is so strange?" Not only did they not avoid the official army and secretly develop their strength, but they provoked our Hanwei battalion several times, what is the reason? Did they take the wrong medicine? ”
"It's kind of weird." Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and said: "But no matter what the Smelling Fragrance Sect thinks, I will send troops to control that Maitreya Village, as long as the middle-aged man of the Smelling Fragrance Sect is caught, then all the questions can be asked clearly." ”
Sun Yuanhua thought about it and didn't say anything more, while Liu Yunwei said to Wen Poyu: "Poyu, you take the cavalry to drive the general horse to Maitreya Village, and first surround the village and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, so as to prevent the cult members from escaping." However, you have to remember that you should not have a conflict with the villagers unless you have to, even if it is unavoidable, you must try to hurt people and kill people as a supplement! ”
Wen Poyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will be measured, then I will set off first." ”
After speaking, Wen Poyu went to gather the cavalry and the total of more than 300 iron horsemen, broke away from the large group of men and horses, and galloped towards the west.
After that, Liu Yunwei found Lu Ying, briefly explained the situation in Maitreya Village, and then said: "Now we have to hurry, Lu Ying, you give the order, the whole battalion will speed up the march, I will rush to Maitreya Village within half an hour!" ”
When Lu Ying heard that the incense-smelling cultists in Dengzhou City who were inciting the people were in front, and that person was going to incite the villagers again to be unfavorable to the soldiers in the camp, he couldn't help but be angry.
A moment later, a low horn sounded, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Hanwei battalion quickened their pace, and the entire marching army column rushed towards the west like a dragon entering the sea.
At the same time, the village of Maitreya.
A middle-aged man was resting in a thatched hut with several sturdy men standing beside him. Among them, one of the men at the head took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the middle-aged man, saying, "Heyu, this is a letter from the sect leader to you." ”
The middle-aged man took the letter without saying a word, opened it and looked at it, and it didn't take long to throw the letter aside, and then said to the man who handed the letter very resentfully: "What does my brother mean by this? I've done so much for the sect, and he even reprimanded me in his letters! Am I doing anything wrong with the rout in Dengzhou City? Our sect is now in full swing, and there are nearly 200,000 sectarians in this Shandong, so why can't my brother go any further! Shen Zhi, tell me, why? ”
The man named Shen Zhi sneered and did not answer, but looked at Xu Heyu coldly like an idiot, and after a while, Shen Zhi saw that Xu Heyu calmed down a little, and then said: "You are right, now the sect does have 200,000 sect members, and even many civil and military officials from Shandong have entered the sect. But have you ever wondered how many people will follow us once we get into trouble? How many civil and military officials who have joined the religion will respond? Let me tell you, when the time comes, those people will hide to the side to watch the excitement, and few people will follow us to make trouble; When those civil and military officials saw us in trouble, they would immediately change their faces and come at us! ”
Xu Heyu stood up abruptly and yelled, "It's just nonsense! A few days ago, I was commanding the congregation in Dengzhou City, and I stormed the Hanwei battalion hiding in the school grounds! As long as we raise the banner, the heroes of the whole Shandong will gather to respond! In the future, the Buddha will also bless us with success, and then my brother will be the founding emperor, and you and I will be the founding heroes! ”
"Idiot!" Shen Zhi looked at Xu Heyu, who had a fanatical face, and couldn't help but scold, and shouted, "Has your brain been eaten by a dog?" Those officers and soldiers of the Hanwei battalion did not kill our sect members because they got the military order, once the officers and soldiers raised the butcher knives, do you think those fools and fools can resist it? What will you do to fight against the officers and soldiers when the time comes! ”
"Doesn't my brother still have the apologetic King Kong in his hand? Yesterday I also sent three apologetic Vajra to kill two of the Hanwei camps! What do you think? The official army is nothing more than that, we have the Apologetic King Kong in hand, plus hundreds of thousands of sect members, why worry about big things? ”
"What!" Shen Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "You are crazy! Actually killed the people of the Hanwei camp? ”
Xu Heyu looked at Shen Zhi's panicked expression, smiled very proudly, and said, "That's right, not only did I kill their people, but I also stripped off all the clothes and armor that didn't collect at night, and brought them back with the war horses." ”
Shen Zhi's face was already pale at this time, and he glared at Xu Heyu fiercely, and only after a while did he say viciously: "Xu Heyu! Do you know that the strength of our sect is not good now, and it is time to accumulate strength; Now is the time to avoid direct conflict with the government and try to avoid being targeted by the government. And you took the initiative to provoke the officers and soldiers, you ruined the major affairs of the sect! I'll see how you explain to Sect Master Xu when you go back! ”
Xu Heyu was unconvinced, and he continued to refute Shen Zhi, but he heard someone outside the house shouting in a panic: "Lord Shen Helm, Lord Xu Helm is not good!" Hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounded the village! What should we do? ”
Shen Zhi and Xu Heyu were stunned when they heard this, and then Shen Zhi was angry and shot the case, while Xu Heyu shouted: "Okay! He laughed out loud.
