Section 7: Smelling Incense

At dusk, the south gate of Dengzhou City.

After receiving the grain and grass provided by Laining, the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion drove out of Dengzhou City in a neat manner and headed south along the official road. Liu Yunwei, Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, and Wang Dangdang stood beside the official road, coldly looking at the still majestic Dengzhou city wall, no longer having the joy they had when they first arrived, and only anger was left in their chests.

Zhao Kaishan was angry for a while, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, let's just leave like this?" When have we ever been so angry! ”

Liu Yunwei's heart was also very uncomfortable, and said, "What can I do? Do you want to fight with that Lai Shenjiang? ”

Zhao Kaishan was so angry that he whipped two lashes at the big tree next to him, and rode away with Wang Dangdang.

Lu Ying looked at the backs of Zhao Kaishan and sighed, and said, "Big brother, Kaishan and Dare are angry this time. Are we really just going to leave quietly? ”

"Humph!" Liu Yunwei said: "Just the two of them feel wronged? Today's incident is a great humiliation for my more than 2,000 soldiers! This is not the end of the story! I've found out about that cult! ”

"So where are we going now?"

Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in the direction of Jinan first, and then make plans after the breaker brings back the news." ”

An hour later, the Hanwei battalion set up a large camp under a hill, at this time the sky was very dark, the afterglow of the sunset was unusually beautiful, but the soldiers did not have a trace of enjoying the beautiful scenery, the whole camp was very dull, everyone was angry.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Liu Yunwei, Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, and Wang Dangdang sat together, quietly listening to Wen Poyu talk about the results of today's investigation.

"Big brothers, brothers, my brothers and I ran down this day, and the harvest is really not small. Do you know what religion those people who pray to God and worship Buddha believe? Wen Poyu said.

Boss Zhao Kaishan said unhappily: "Wen Dama Monkey, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and say it's okay, everyone is in a bad mood, you don't talk nonsense." ”

Wen Poyu glared at Zhao Kaishan and continued: "That's the case, these people believe in a sect called Wenxiang Sect, which was founded by a person named Wang Sen in Shifokou, Luanzhou, Hebei. This Wang Sen claimed to have saved a fox, and the fox cut off its tail and gave it away, and the fox tail that Wang Sen got smelled strange; Therefore, Wang Sen called on the disciples with this, and most of the foolish men and fools near Shandong were attached, and I heard that the believers were all over the states, prefectures, and counties in Shandong, and the number could reach more than 100,000; Na Wang Sen called himself the leader of the incense sect, believed in the future Buddha (that is, Maitreya Buddha), preached the ideas of the end of the three periods, returning to the source, and founded the apologetic Vajra in the sect. Later, Wang Sen was arrested and imprisoned by the government in the 41st year of Wanli, and heard that he had died in prison. ”

After everyone heard what Wen Poyu said, they were all shocked in their hearts, that Wang Sen could use a fox tail to bewitch the people, and he could gather more than 100,000 people, and the sect members were all over Shandong! What is the origin of this Wang Sen?

Liu Yunwei asked, "Poyu, you said that Wang Sen is dead?" So who is in charge of this Smelling Fragrance Sect now? ”

Wen Poyu said: "I also inquired about this clearly, and now the Wenxiang Sect is divided into two parts: one part of the sect is in charge of Wang Sen's only son, Wang Haoxian, who is active in the Shifokou area of Luanzhou, it is said that when Wang Sen was alive, he built the holy land of the Wenxiang Sect in Shifokou, which is called: Wenxiang Sect Capital, but this branch of the Wenxiang Sect led by Wang Haoxian is not very powerful, but it is only respected in name; The other part of the sect is in charge of Wang Sen's apprentice Xu Hongru, this group of sects is numerous, widely distributed, and extremely powerful, which can be said to be all over Shandong, and the apologetic King Kong established by Wang Sen is also under the control of Xu Hongru. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ying said angrily: "I didn't expect the situation to be so bad, looking at this situation, the Wenxiang Sect wants to learn the Yellow Turban of Han and the Yellow Nest of Tang!" Is this Shandong still the Shandong of the imperial court? ”

Liu Yunwei snorted coldly and said, "The situation is indeed not optimistic, but it is not so serious. The key now is where the core backbone of this Smelling Fragrance Sect is, and if we have a chance to destroy its backbone in one fell swoop. ”

Wen Poyu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult, this Smelling Fragrance Sect is no better than the confrontation between the two armies, you can fight in formation, and you can be wiped out in one battle; The people in this Smelling Fragrance Sect are all scattered in various state capitals on weekdays, mixed among ordinary people, where can we find him? Even if some of them are killed, as long as a few backbones escape, they will be all over the place in a few years. ”

Wang Dangdang nodded and said: "What Po Yu said is right, this smelling incense teaches us to either not move, or if we move, we will kill all of them, and no one will be left." ”

Zhao Kaishan asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"There's no good way to do it right now." Liu Yunwei sighed and said, "Unless Wang Haoxian and Xu Hongru of the Smelling Fragrance Sect go crazy and gather all the backbones and believers to fight against us, we have no good way." ”

Lu Ying nodded and said, "Big Brother is right, this Smelling Fragrance Sect is like a plague, as long as there is still a patient who slips through the net, it will be full of devastation in time!" ”

Everyone discussed for a long time, and suddenly felt that they were helpless against the Smelling Fragrance Sect, as if a tiger had met a hedgehog, obviously with overwhelming power, but there was no way to start, they could only stare dryly!

At this time, Liu Yunwei said to Wen Poyu: "By the way, just now you said that the power of this Smelling Fragrance Sect has spread all over Shandong?" Does that mean that this incense smelling sect is already an open secret in Shandong? ”

Wen Poyu nodded, and said with an unkind expression: "Big brother really thought of it!" Yes, this Smelling Fragrance Sect is already a public matter in Shandong, and the local government knows about the existence of this Smelling Fragrance Sect, and many civil and military officials are still believers in the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Therefore, now Shandong seems to be calm, but in fact it is extremely dangerous. ”

Liu Yunwei was furious after hearing this, and said: "Now that Liaodong Jiannu is rising, maybe it will be Koubian again in the near future, the national dynasty already has such a great enemy of life and death, this smelling incense sect is still coming to join in the fun, and dare to cause trouble in Shandong!" I will get rid of it! ”

Seeing that Liu Yunwei was really angry, everyone thought: "Wenxiang Sect is so good that the immortal dares to provoke our Hanwei Camp, now it's okay, and he has successfully attracted the attention of the eldest brother to himself, this time the Wenxiang Sect is the end of a good day!" ”

Lu Ying said: "Big brother, this extermination of the Smelling Fragrance Sect is not something that can be completed in a few days, we have to stay in Shandong for a while." ”

Wu Xing on the side also said: "Also, the order given to us by the Ministry of War is to go to Huichuanwei, not to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong." Big brother, will there be any trouble for us to leave without permission? ”

Liu Yunwei began to hesitate a little when he heard this, Lu Ying and Wu Xing both said that the key points were that one was a matter of time and the other was a matter of authority, and in order to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect, these two problems must be solved first.

Just when Liu Yunwei and everyone were thinking about how to solve the problem in front of them, Wen Poyu said: "Big brother, I don't think it's a big problem in terms of time, let's just think about the issue of permission." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Wen Poyu said: "Then Luanzhou, where Wang Haoxian is located, is far away in Beizhili, and we can't reach it. However, fortunately, the imperial court is strictly supervised there, and Wang Haoxian's power is very weak, so it can be ignored for the time being. And Xu Hongru's lair is in Yuncheng, if we want to go to Henan, we must pass through Yuncheng, so we don't have to delay the trip because we want to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect. ”

Liu Yunwei was overjoyed after hearing this, and said: "Great, if Xu Hongru is in Yuncheng, most of the backbone of the Wenxiang Sect should be concentrated near Yuncheng, let's see if there is a chance to take it down when we pass through Yuncheng." ”

At this time, Li Tianhao, who had not spoken much, sighed and said, "There is one thing that I have always wondered, you have only been out to investigate for a day, and you have only been out to investigate the incense sect to the bottom, how did you do it?" ”

Hearing what Li Tianhao said, everyone also felt a little strange, and they all asked.

Wen Poyu said with a smile: "That's the case, when my brothers and I were looking around, we also found some news, after all, the Smelling Fragrance Sect is not a secret in Shandong, and you can find out some information with a little attention." Some of the core situations in the Wenxiang Sect were told to me by a scholar I met in Dengzhou City. ”

Liu Yunwei asked, "What kind of scholar is it?" ”

"A scholar who walks with a sword."

As soon as everyone was about to ask questions, a soldier came to report and said, "General Qiqi, a court envoy has arrived." ”

Liu Yunwei was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly led everyone out of the big tent and came to Yuanmen to greet the imperial court envoys.

Liu Yunwei stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "This lord, I am Liu Yunwei, the general manager of the Hanwei camp, I don't know what instructions the imperial court has?" ”

The civil official said with a smile: "Congratulations to President Liu Qian, the general led his troops to severely damage Zhengbaiqi Jiannu, and the battle exploits of beheading seven hundred and forty levels have been approved, which is a commendation from the Ministry of War." After speaking, the civil official handed a document to Liu Yunwei.

Liu Yunwei opened it and looked at it, smiled, and said, "Five thousand taels of silver, and one thousand stones of grain and grass allocated by the household department, okay." ”

The civil official also smiled with him, exchanged a few words with Liu Yunwei, and then took people away.

Liu Yunwei looked at the baggage cart left outside the camp and said, "The seven hundred and forty level of the head of the Jiannu has been exchanged for this money and grain, and the pillars of the imperial court are really generous!" ”

Lu Ying also shook his head and said, "Big brother, this is better than nothing, let's go back and continue the discussion." ”

"Humph!" Liu Yunwei said coldly: "Let's go, let's go back to the account." ”
