Zen Master Ye De said: "Lao Gu has a little clue, I heard Xiang Haiming say that Maitreya Buddha Song Zixian's martial arts were originally inferior to him, but after returning from an injury once in ten years, he was blessed by misfortune, and his martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds, and he practiced Vajra Gong. It's a pity that Song Zixian is dead, and it is a headless clue. ”

Meng Fan showed a strange smile and said, "Xia Guan has long wanted to ask the master about this matter, may I ask the master, do you people in the Maitreya Sect know Song Zixian?" ”

"How is that possible?" Zen Master Ye De said calmly: "Considering the opponents of martial arts and the imperial court, the Song sect leader does not show people when he goes in and out, and the usual propaganda doctrines are monk Meng, Tan Ling, Gao Tansheng and Lao Gao, Maitreya Buddha only appeared in the ceremony, even in Tang County, on weekdays, it is also Seng Meng who comes forward instead of the Song sect leader, and his two people are similar in shape and temperament, so most believers can not distinguish between them." ”

Meng chuckled and said, "Will it be Seng Meng who will die in Tang County." Master, you think, Maitreya Sect is deeply rooted in Tang County, and it is impossible for the government to have no eyes and ears, how can the officers and soldiers not be found when they arrive at the residence of the Song sect leader; The Maitreya Sect has at least more than 1,000 people in Tang County, why did they not resist. The government later said that there was a fire around the house, that is, someone was obstructing the official army, what was the purpose? It must be to stall for time so that some people can escape. ”

Maitreya Buddha Song Zixian is the first person of Maitreya Sect, if you want to say escape, no one is more qualified than Song Zixian, but Seng Meng is the general of Maitreya Sect, why give it up and not run away together? Zen Master Ye De was a little unconvinced, but he couldn't refute it, and sank deep into meditation.

Cui Hongsu sighed and said, "I don't know if it was Song Zixian who died, but the Cui family and some local scholars sent Song Jingang to talk to Song Zixian once." ”

Cui Hongsu's weak answer has already explained everything, the Maitreya Sect must rely on local support, and they can't help but sell the face of the Boling Cui clan, unless they want to be completely finished and no longer survive in Hebei; The death of a King Kong is considered an explanation to the Cui family and the Hebei Shi clan. Yang Guang, the son of heaven, may not have been unaware of the conspiracy, I am afraid that it was in order to get evidence that the more than 1,000 families in Boling and Hejian were destroyed.

Yang Chong pondered for a moment and reminded Meng Tuo: "The general who captured Song Zixian is very important, only he can see the true face of the arrested person clearly, and what others see may only be a face that has been beaten to the point of being completely invisible, or even covered with blood, and it is impossible to tell who is who." ”

Meng Fu smiled bitterly: "The general's name is Wu Wang, and more than a month after the Tang County case, he died in the battle with Zhang Jincheng. ”

There is a hand in the underworld, which dominates people's fate, will not let you live too well, nor will you be in a desperate situation at will. People who are on the road of struggle, if everything goes well, there is no less fun than a lot of willows and flowers, Yang Chong faced a lot of specious clues, he could only comfort himself in his heart, every hurdle can always be passed.

Fang Xuanling and the others didn't have any good ideas, and Kou Jiuhui said calmly: "Wait until we take Hebei, and then check slowly." ”

Xie Hong and the others' faces changed immediately, and at this moment, they suddenly discovered that today's meeting was a trap, Yang Chong actually didn't care about the clues and the truth at all, otherwise with Yang Chong's face in front of Zen Master Ye De, they should have inquired about Song Zixian's real death and fake death; With Cui Hongsu here, when the transaction between the Cui family and Song Zixian can't be asked clearly, so he has to ask and answer it today.

Yang Chong's purpose is actually Kou Jiuxing's sentence just now, telling everyone that Yang Chong is going eastward; As long as the people present do not raise objections in person, and do not report to Chang'an immediately when they go back, even if they talk to the family and sect, they will become Yang Chong's accomplices, and they will share blessings and misfortunes from then on. Yu Wenkai and Shuai Guozhen could only shake their heads, they always felt that Yang Chong was capable, and he was still a little worse in political skills, but now that he looks at it, he has made great progress.

Fang Xuanling didn't seem to care about Kou Jiuhui's words, and said unhurriedly: "The Western Turkic commander Ye Hu has arrived in Gaochang, ready to meet with Zhangye and General Manager Yang, he brought a huge caravan, 2,000 war horses, 15,000 cattle, sheep and camels, and 500,000 catties of rice millet from cattle and camels. Everyone, look, how do we receive it? ”

Xue Yantuo lacked allies in the Baishan Alliance, and was occupied by Yang Chong in Gaochang, Yiwu and other tribute places, and his strength was much worse than in history, and several battles with the Western Turks were defeated, and he was forced to recognize the Western Turks as the suzerain. The speed of the Khan's expansion of the territory is much faster, and now he has a vast area from the Altai Mountains in the east to the Aral Sea in the west, and the royal court is set up in the Sanmi Mountain in the north of Qiuzi.

Xie Hong is a person who can afford to let go, so he made up his mind in an instant and asked Yang Chong: "Manager Yang, in what name are you going to enter the Central Plains, Chang'an will never give you an order." ”

Although the Xie family is defeated, Xie An's legacy is still there, and what he wants is righteousness; Yang Chong nodded and said: "After Zhang Xutuo was killed by Li Mi, all the rogues in the Central Plains must be the first to look forward to the Wagang army. According to our estimates, Li Mi's next target is Luoyang; What he was waiting for was the situation in which Du Fuwei defeated Chen Ling, and at that time, the Wagang army had no worries and could fight with all their might. ”

Xie Hong often went to Huining County, discussed the changes in the situation with Xie Yingdeng, and knew the situation in the Central Plains very well, and said in disbelief: "In addition to the army of Jiangdu in the Central Plains, there are also 200,000 regular troops, and there are at most 350,000 people in Wagang. ”

Ling Jing took over and said: "Xue Shixiong's 30,000 elites are to deal with Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong's 40,000 army is approaching Lu Mingyue step by step, except for Luoyang's 30,000 guards, the other 100,000 people are distributed in various counties, not to mention how effective it is, it is difficult to concentrate it, and it is likely to be broken by Li Mi." Li Mi's talent and prestige are no less than Yang Xuangan, and it is said that Dou Jiande and others have decided to support Li Mi as the leader of the alliance. ”

Xie Hong has nothing to say, Yang Chong is based in Hexi, but he knows the overall situation well, according to Ling Jing, Li Mi has at least fifty percent success in the future. Master Kongzang said slowly: "Chief Yang is worried that it will be too late to send troops, and Li Miwei will be a big deal. The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, Li Mi is not so easy to occupy Luoyang, why not wait for Li Mi and the Holy Son of Heaven to divide the victory. ”

Yang Chong stood up and said, "Master, what I'm worried about is Shibi Khan, as long as the Turks control Yanshan, they will have grain, iron tools, salt, and the road to Taiyuan and Handan in the south. Once Yanmen, Yulin and other counties are not protected, Taiyuan will be attacked on all sides, and at that time, I just want to save it, but I can't send troops. ”
