Chapter 98: The Zhaoye Temple Conspiracy
In March 389 AD, after half a month of bloody fighting, the defenders of Jiuquan finally 'lost their support'. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Du Jin, the governor of Shazhou, led the remnants to evacuate in a hurry.
At this point, the eastern barrier of Shazhou was lost, and Dunhuang was directly exposed to the Lu army.
When the news came, people everywhere were panicked for a while.
Under the encouragement of well-intentioned people, many people feel that Wei Shuo may not be able to escape this time, and the best outcome is to retreat to Gaochang.
Even some of the Guo family's children began to regret their marriage to Wei Shuo, and they ran to Guo Yu to pour bitter water.
Unexpectedly, he was scolded by Guo Yu and ordered to think about it behind closed doors.
Seeing this, Liu Yu was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Teacher, now the outside world says that Lu Guang, the king of the Three Rivers, will win, but why can't the students see that you are worried?" ”
"What's the use of worrying? It's just a mere nuisance. Guo Yu replied angrily.
However, Liu Yu didn't believe that the teacher was so open-minded, and he firmly believed that Guo Yu must have mastered some insider information to behave so calmly.
It's just that the teacher doesn't mention it, and he doesn't have much to say, and Liu Yu is still clear about the truth that if you say too much, you will lose.
In fact, Liu Yu guessed wrong, although Guo Yu is Wei Shuo's father-in-law, because he was born in a family, he naturally can't get used to Wei Shuo.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Wei Shuo rarely tells Guo Yu confidential things.
And the reason why Guo Yu behaves differently from ordinary people is that he has no choice.
As Wei Shuo's Yue family, whether he wants it or not, the Guo family and the Wei family have long been closely related.
If Wei Shuo is finally destroyed, the Guo family will not have good fruits to eat.
It's a pity that in Dunhuang City, not everyone is like Guo Yu who is sitting still.
Many families who were forced to fall to Wei Shuo before were forced by the situation, and under the influence of Ling Huyi, Tang Yao, and Fakong, they secretly changed their banners and took refuge in Lu Guang.
In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, several figures appeared sneaky in front of the door of Zhaoye Temple, and soon a novice introduced everyone into the secret room of the temple.
Walking into the secret room, Ling Huyi and Tang Yao saw at a glance that the host Fakong was sitting cross-legged on the couch.
Looking closely at the presiding Fakong, the eyebrows are very short and thick, the beard is thick as ink, there is no old age, and the face is too majestic, there is no image of a Buddhist monk, but like a strong man who robs his house.
"Amitabha, the two heads of the family are polite." Seeing everyone coming in, the Dharma announced the Buddha's name.
Ling Hu Yi and Tang Yao didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to salute Fakong.
"This time I borrowed your temple to cause an incident, which greatly disturbed the purity of Buddhism, and I ask the master to forgive me."
"Alas, in order to subdue demons and eliminate demons, poor monks can't take care of so much, I think the Buddha will understand my painstaking efforts."
"Hey! Isn't it just a temple? As long as Wei Shuo is destroyed, the master will build as many temples as he wants in the future. ”
"Moreover, the King of the Three Rivers is friendly with Master Kumarosh, but it is not like Wei Shuo who disrespects the Buddha."
"Alas, I didn't expect Wei Duhu to be so mean, even I and other monks didn't let go, and I limited the scale of monks, and I paid taxes according to the regulations."
"It's unheard of for someone as greedy and tyrannical as this."
"Who's to say it isn't? If it weren't for the deep persecution, why would the old man wade into this troubled water? ”
"This is also true, speaking of which, the family and the Buddha are suffering from the same disease, and they are both exploited and oppressed by Na Weishuo."
As the targets of Wei Shuo's attack and suppression, Fakong, Tang Yao, and Ling Huyi have too many common languages.
The three of them got together and couldn't help pouring bitter water on each other, and it took a long time to remember that they hadn't done anything.
"Okay, that's the end of the nonsense, let's hurry up and discuss how to help the King of the Three Rivers take Dunhuang."
"I don't know what Brother Tang thinks?" Ling Huyi and Fakong first looked at Tang Yao.
"Most of the defenders in the city are Wei Shuo's henchmen, and the box army and government soldiers are from mud legs, and the family's influence on them is too small."
"If you want to secretly seize the city gate, you can only hope by relying on our henchmen."
"Humph! Now that the family has been confiscated, what are we going to do to open the gates? Linghu Yi's face was full of questions.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yao said with confidence: "Two of you, although we don't have a part in our hands, there are at least one hundred and ten family children in each family." ”
"Gathering these people, coupled with the youth and strength in Zhaoye Temple, is enough to temporarily organize a team of about a thousand people."
"Although people can't take the city gate head-on, they can take advantage of the chaos."
"In addition, the old man asks the master again, I wonder if you are willing to give up this Zhaoye Temple?"
"As long as you can get rid of Wei Shuo, let alone a Zhaoye Temple, even if you want Lao Wei's life, it doesn't matter." The law and the air cut the railway.
"Okay, the master is really refreshing." Tang Yao couldn't help but applaud Fakong's decisiveness, and then he felt that something big could be expected.
"Brother Tang, don't sell it! Hurry up, what to do? Ling Huyi said impatiently.
"Actually, the plan is very simple, when the army of the King of the Three Rivers comes to the city, I will set the Zhaoye Temple on fire at night......"
"What?! Are you going to burn down Zhaoye Temple? Ling Huyi didn't wait for Tang Yao to finish speaking, and then shouted.
"Brother Linghu, don't worry, listen to what you say."
Looking at Tang Yao's helpless look, and then looking at the indifferent Fakong, Ling Hu Yi knew that he was making a big fuss.
He shook his shoulders again and again, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Tang, please speak, please speak, it's too much to talk about." ”
"The reason why the Zhaoye Temple was burned down was because the Zhaoye Temple happened to be adjacent to the east gate of Dunhuang."
"As long as there is chaos here, how can the defenders of the East Gate who are close at hand ignore it?"
"When the defenders make a slight move, the children of the family who have gathered in advance will take advantage of the situation and open the east gate to welcome the King of the Three Rivers into the city."
"Ah, Brother Tang's plan is very good!"
Listening to Tang Yao's plan, Ling Hu Yi danced excitedly, and even Fakong had a smile on his face.
In the end, the heads of the three of them got together to make a final check and fill in the gaps in the plan, and everyone left quietly after the plan was decided.
It's a pity that Tang Yao and Ling Huyi didn't know that not long after the two of them left Zhaoye Temple, a black shadow quickly left......
……
That night, Wei Shuo received a secret report from Xu Zhao, and it happened that Song Miao was by his side, so he asked Wei Shuo for instructions to arrest someone.
"Don't rush to catch people first, the enemy has just jumped out, and then wait, wait for more enemies to appear."
"The lord is going to catch them all?"
"Well, these people in the city are just clowns jumping off the beam, if it weren't for Lu Guang's soldiers pressing the border, with hundreds of children of families, how could they move me at all?"
"The key is Lu Guang's army, as long as Lu Guang is eliminated, these people are not to worry."
Song Miao said worriedly: "I'm afraid that these traitors in the city will collude with Lu Guang, so I am afraid that there is a danger of losing the city." ”
Wei Shuo sneered: "Hmph, Shuo just wants them to collude together, how can they have a chance to break the enemy without collusion?" ”
"It seems that the lord has become a bamboo in his chest, and breaking the enemy is only between his hands."
"Hahaha, Shuo has already discussed with the generals before, and has decided to lure the snake out of the hole and plan the plan, and then it will be up to Lu Guang to see if he is fooled."
……
"Father, I just received a secret report from the family, and the people in Dunhuang City are already panicking, and many families have abandoned Wei Shuo and re-joined us."
Lu Guang, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, was suddenly awakened by Lu Su who broke in.
Seeing his son's excited face, he couldn't help but snort coldly and reprimanded: "It's just a bunch of wall grass, what's there to be happy about?" ”
Lu Su received Suo Chengming's report, so he hurriedly came over to report the good news to Lu Guang, thinking that he would be praised by his father, but he was unexpectedly poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"Didn't the family prepare an internal response? Why is there no news now? ”
Just when Lu Su was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard Lu Guang mention the matter of internal response, and immediately came to his senses and introduced the family's plan to Lu Guang in detail.
Lu Guang was speechless after listening to this, and after a long time, he spoke: "In your opinion, what is the chance of winning this plan?" ”
"At least fifty or sixty percent!" Lu Su replied with a smashing mouth.
"Five or six into ......," Lu Guang muttered to himself.
"What? Father worried that the situation has changed? Still don't trust the Maison? ”
"At this point, the family has no choice, and the father is just worried that they will not succeed enough and will fail."
"Even if it doesn't work out, it's a big deal to raise troops to attack again." Lu Su said disapprovingly.
"Humph! Naive, do you think Dunhuang is easy to fight? ”
"The old man has left nearly 20,000 troops under Jiuquan City before, if we attack Dunhuang desperately, how much price should our army pay?"
"The soldiers and horses are all gone, what will you use to deter others in the future?"
"You should keep an eye on this matter for the old man, and report it as soon as there is news, and there must be no mistakes."
"No! The child obeyed. ”
