Chapter Seventy-Three: Tempting the Enemy

If Wang Hanxin once fell into a trough because of the tens of thousands of people who drowned after the Yingzhou Water Attack, after he thought of the method of eradicating the remnants of the Yijiyunian religion, he immediately restored the calmness and harshness that a general should have, from this point of view, Wang Hanxin already had the quality of a famous general in history at the age of only twenty-one, and this battle also became the first step for him to become a famous general in the country of silk in the future.

First, Wang Hanxin accurately determined the location of the main altar of the Yijiyuni Sect through the information provided by Wu Sicheng and Chen Shijie, and then he led the elite cavalry to quickly capture this secret base, where he captured what he needed: the silver cup of the Yijiyuni Sect's holy relics and miracles, and the original of the most important text, the Book of God.

These two things were the most important symbols in the minds of the Eyuyanis, and they became their only spiritual support after the martyrdom of their leader. Therefore, the fanaticism of the followers in guarding these two sacred relics was breathtaking, and even Chen Shihua was wounded before the last believer fell.

Wang Hanxin, who had obtained the relics, publicly announced to the entire Yingzhou region that he would publicly destroy the two relics in five days—melting the silver cup into a night pot and throwing the book of the gods into a dung pit.

These two acts of grave blasphemy against the faith of the Ishini religion are intended to infuriate these followers so that they will pounce on the trap even though they know that Wang Hanxin will set a trap.

This vicious trick succeeded in concentrating the remnants of the Yijiyuni sect scattered throughout Yingzhou, who held rudimentary weapons and formed a flesh-and-blood barrier side by side, stepping into the ambush set up for them by Wang Hanxin step by step.

If Ahn Jae-do hadn't been captured at the beginning of the war. Perhaps they would not have made such a conspiracy move, since the central institution of the Yijiyuni sect was dismantled by Wang Hanxin from the very beginning. These cultists have become brainless shells. At this time, the drugs and organizations on which they had relied to thrive had become their greatest weakness, and they had nothing but excess fanaticism.

Of course, Wang Hanxin is happy that his enemies will become such a group of brainless reckless people. A large number of arrows rained down on the cultists. The body pierced by the arrows kept falling to the ground, and the remaining cultists still refused to change their formation, and they used their flesh and blood to approach Wang Hanxin's archery team step by step.

If this group of fanatical people were to be killed in the archery team, then the soldiers would probably not be able to stop this group of people who regarded death as home. It is a pity that Wang Hanxin's ruthlessness is far beyond the imagination of these thoughtless cultists, in front of the archers he has already dug a layer of traps, the bottom of the trap is covered with broken knives and broken spears collected from the battlefield after the water recedes, and the cultists strode to the bottom of the pit leading to death with their own feet.

However, the cultists' fanaticism still exceeded Wang Hanxin's expectations, and they used the corpses of their companions as stepping stones to successfully break through the trap. Straight to the ranks of archers.

Wang Hanxin lowered his head and sighed, and then shouted at the cavalry: "Brothers, there is no reason to talk about these cultists, kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”

With that, Wang Hanxin rushed out with a horse and a sword, followed by Zhou Siyi and the Chen brothers with a cavalry team.

If you want to talk about Wang Hanxin's most convenient weapon, it is naturally a double knife, since he joined the Tiger Guard Battalion, he began to use double knives, and his proficiency is not comparable to other weapons, and Wang Hanxin will use double knives without hesitation when encountering chaotic battles. At this moment, the twin knives in his hands seemed to turn into two silver dragons flying back and forth around him, and under the dragons' claws rolled under the blood-colored clouds splashed from the cultists. Although Wang Hanxin was angry about killing his own people in private, he showed no mercy on the battlefield, regardless of whether it was an old man in front of him. Women and children, he will kill them all, and treat them equally.

What a daring man. Zhou Siyi, who was following him, said to himself in his heart. Honestly. Zhou Siyi couldn't harden his heart to kill the killer in the face of such an enemy army, but Wang Hanxin was different. And Zhou Siyi is also sure that the feelings he revealed to him before were not hypocritical. Maybe this is where I can't compare to this brother, looking at this sworn brother who is a full eleven years younger than himself. Zhou Siyi decided to see with his own eyes what kind of career he could make.

By the time the last cultist fell shouting the name of the god, the sun was already on the verge of sinking into the western horizon. Covered in the blood of the cultists, Wang Hanxin, who had re-transformed into a "red tiger," stood on the battlefield with his back to the sun and shouted of victory.

Wang Hanxin fulfilled his promise to destroy the two sacred relics of the Yijiyuni religion, and then Wang Hanxin issued an order that all Yijiyuni followers were to be executed without leniency. The Yingzhou Rebellion has largely subsided, and although the finishing touches have lasted for four months, it has not exceeded expectations.

Since then, the religion has disappeared in the land of silk, and there has never been an organized group again. However, the cultists in other countries did not give up their belief in evil gods, and after generations of efforts, they finally re-established themselves and grew into the scourge of the world, and the Silk Country was one of the few countries that was spared from its poison. The reason is that Wang Hanxin's ruthless extermination methods successfully stifled this poisonous seedling, but before later generations remembered his achievements and began to respect him, his mass extinction methods in Yingzhou would suffer hundreds of years of criticism.

While Wang Hanxin was still busy exterminating the remaining Yijiyuni cultists in Yingzhou, the puppet Shu regime in Shu happened as Wang Hanxin expected. Due to the uneven distribution of land after the emperor was liked, his subordinates began to be dissatisfied, and the only thing that the puppet Shu emperor liked to do after becoming the emperor was to expand his harem, and then he was busy messing around and drinking with beauties every day, and there was no policy at all, and his subordinates also didn't know how to govern, they didn't know anything except robbing the people and bullying men and women, so in just two months, the three counties that had been seized had made the people's grievances boiling, and they were in danger. And Zhongyi's subordinates have also evolved to the point where they are incompatible and attack each other. Finally, in the third month and nine days after the establishment of power, civil strife broke out, and the prime minister and the general who were appointed by Zhong fought each other with their troops, and both sides reacted in the same way after realizing that their forces could not overwhelm their opponents, and hijacked Zhong Yi to ensure their own legitimacy. The result of the two armies entering the palace at the same time was that Zhong thought that there had been a mutiny, and in desperation, he committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. At this time, both sides accused the other of being the murderers of the emperor, and in order to decide who would inherit the throne, other ministers were involved in the battle. After fifteen days of fighting, both the prime minister and the general were the losers, and in fact the only winners were the local people. As the fierce struggle for power weakened the already shaky puppet Shu regime, the long-standing grievances of the people finally broke out their anger. They spontaneously took up all the weapons at their disposal and attacked the soldiers who oppressed them. As a result of the battle, the puppet Shu regime lost three county towns and was driven into the mountains. At this time, the officials and troops of Shu also got the news and launched an extermination operation, and it took only twenty days to wipe out the remnants of the pseudo-Shu forces. From its establishment to its demise, the puppet Shu regime only existed for less than four months, and everything was as Wang Hanxin expected, and letting the puppet Shu regime fend for itself became the fastest way to eliminate this rebellion.

When the news of the elimination of the puppet Shu regime and Wang Hanxin's guilty plea were presented together with Emperor Liu Yan's Longshu case, which news made him feel more delighted and shocked, I am afraid that only he knew. (To be continued.) )
