The Holy Sect Naval Army, led by Tai Shi Ci and Wen Ping, was divided into seven batches and took nearly two months to transport the 170,000 troops of the Church to Jiangdong.

Luan Yi and his core advisers and personal guards arrived at Moling with the second batch of ships.

After meeting with Zhang Zhao and other Sun Ce's former ministers and family members, the next step was to take over the city defenses of Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and Jingnan counties.

According to Luan Yi's previous plan, after Sun Ce put it into his account, it should be a simple matter to take over the city and the official offices at all levels.

However, the truth is very different from Luan Yi's fantasy.

Of course, the reason for this phenomenon is not that Sun Ce and Jiangdong officials at all levels do not cooperate, on the contrary, Sun Ce is also doing his best to promote this matter and strive for the early reunification of the diocese.

The real reason does not come from the officials, but from the people.

Because there is a sharp contradiction between the two major religious doctrines of Our Lady and the Holy Virgin - Our Lady does not recognize the so-called Holy Maiden, and the Holy Virgin Church criticizes the hypocrisy of Our Lady Luan! Therefore, after the Church army took over the city defenses in various places, there was constant friction with the local Virgen believers.

What started as a skirmish grew into a large-scale quarrel that eventually led to bloodshed.

The bloodshed further intensified the bilateral conflict and escalated the incident into a large-scale group brawl. Luan Yi sent several soldiers and horses to reluctantly suppress it, but the matter was not solved at the root.

The hostility between the Church of Our Lady and the Church of the Virgin is still growing.

Half a month later, a group brawl broke out in Changsha County, Jingzhou, between the Notre Dame Church guards and the local people, which can be called war.

Although the Guardians of the Church of Our Lady were well-trained, experienced in combat, and well-equipped, they did not have an advantage in numbers after all, and suffered many casualties.

Luan Yi personally went to investigate when he heard the news, and got the exact news that 270 church guards were killed in this battle. More than 600 local people were killed and wounded.

Looking at the cold corpse, Luan Yi couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Those guards who died in battle, after the fire of war and the smoke of gunpowder, did not die on the battlefield of cannibalism, but died in internal friction in the post-war peace.

And the source of this internal friction is no longer an ordinary soldier, but from Luan Yi himself - he is the initiator of this bloody time.

It was he who created the Church of Our Lady, and Zhou Yu followed suit and established the Church of the Holy Maiden, which was-for-tat. The two are-for-tat at the root, natural enemies, and the contradictions between them are acute and difficult to reconcile.

"How's that okay?" Seeing that the situation was still escalating and deteriorating, Jiangdong was plunged into chaos due to the continuous religious conflicts. Luan Yi made a mistake in his heart.

He called all the scribes to him and asked for advice.

Pang Tong said: "According to the view of the Tong, ......"

"Come on."

"Emergencies should be treated with fierce medicine. The leader of the sect may wish to send a large army to suppress the local saints, and at the same time capture the leader, wave his sword and behead him, and hang his head at the city gate for public display. In this way, the saints were frightened. At the same time, the Holy Church priests were arranged to spread the Gospel of Our Lady in the locality, calling on the Holy Maidens not to resist uselessly and to return to the Orthodox temple of God. The combination of one hard and one soft can allow the Holy Church to replace the Holy Maiden's Church in a short period of time and become the only religion in Jiangdong. ”

Luan Yi paced back and forth in the hall, thinking for a while and rejecting Pang Tong's proposal, "This strategy is not possible. The Holy Virgin Church has been operating in Jiangdong for many years and has more than one million believers. Forced repression will inevitably lead to the destruction of human lives. The Han Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and the people can no longer withstand such a toss. It is also important that as followers of the Holy Religion, we are all too familiar with the purpose of the Holy Religion. If the followers of the Holy Religion were to encounter such repression, would they succumb? Of course not...... Rather than ratt, the more severe the repression, the more severe the revolt. The same is true of the cult of the Holy Maiden, as a product of imitation of the Holy Religion. So, it doesn't work. The focus should be on grooming, rather than hard blocking. ”

There is another point that Luan Yi did not say explicitly, he was also worried that the bloody suppression of the Holy Maiden Sect believers by the church soldiers and horses would arouse the dissatisfaction of Sun Ce and other former Jiangdong ministers, which would lead to other unpredictable big troubles.

"Who could have done better?"

Guo Jia took a sip of tea, "Jia has a plan." This policy has a name, it should be called ...... Uh-huh...... Let's call it a happy strategy! ”

"What is a good idea?"

"The so-called Xice ......" Guo Jia thought about it, and couldn't help but secretly laugh, "Congratulations to the sect leader, congratulations to the sect leader." ”

Luan Yi frowned, and said suspiciously: "Where does the joy come from?" "Jia wants to drink the sect leader's wedding wine again."

Seeing that Guo Jia was chattering for a while, looking not serious, Luan Yi said anxiously: "Oops! My filial piety is burning my eyebrows, so don't sell it. Let's talk about what Xice is. ”

Guo Jia put away his laughter and replied obediently: "Sect Master, if you look closely at the Church of Our Lady and the Holy Maiden, whether it is the doctrine, the canons, the purpose and the habits, they are almost the same, but why do the believers of the two religions still fight each other? The answer is in front of us, our Holy Church only recognizes that the leader is the spokesperson of the Mother in the world, and the person who is most favored by the Holy Mother, but does not recognize any Holy Maiden; The Cult of the Holy Maiden, on the other hand, does not recognize the existence of the Sect Master, but only believes in the Holy Maiden. As a result, the followers of the Holy Church spat on the followers of the Holy Maiden, saying that they had gone astray. The followers of the Holy Maiden said that the followers of the Holy Religion were deceived by the hypocritical leader, that is, Yi Ge'er, and became the minions of the devil...... Neither of the two is convinced, and the more trouble becomes, the more stiff it becomes. Is Jia right? ”

Luan Yi nodded, "Jia Di's analysis is consistent with reality. ”

"So, the contradiction of the whole thing lies with the sect leader, you, and the so-called Holy Granddaughter Shangxiang!" Guo Jia immediately squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Do you understand what I mean by Xice?" ”

Luan Yi was not a fool, he immediately understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words, and asked with wide eyes: "You mean?" ”

"That's right, marriage!" Guo Jialuo unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said proudly: "What will happen to the leader of the Holy Mother Sect if he marries the Holy Maiden Sect, I don't need to say it!" For the believers of the Holy Maiden Sect, the Holy Maiden marries the Holy Mother of the Sect, and the Holy Mother of the Holy Mother becomes the pillow of the Holy Maiden and a member of the bloodline of the Supreme Jiangdong Sun Clan. ”

Guo Jia paused and teased: "Speaking of which, this identity is a bit like the son-in-law of the Virgin." Although this identity may sound a little embarrassing, it can allow the sect leader to quickly gain the recognition of the followers of the Holy Maiden Cult. For the followers of the Holy Religion, the status of the Holy Maiden Sect's holy daughter marrying the sect leader is also elevated, and she is no longer the demon girl in their mouths, but the respectable lady of the sect leader who has been touched by the holy and glorious sect leader. At this time, we can use the thinking mode of male superiority and inferiority of women that has been precipitated in the hearts of believers for hundreds of years to guide the followers of the Holy Religion with public opinion, so that they can gradually feel that the Holy Women's Religion is a branch of the unified thinking of the Holy Religion. In this way, it can not only erase the contradictions between the believers of the Holy Religion and the followers of the Holy Maiden, but also absorb the Holy Maiden Cult into the Holy Religion and swallow it up by the roots. In this way, the contradiction between the Church of Our Lady and the Church of the Virgin can be easily resolved. When the believers of the Holy Woman gradually accept the Church Master and the Holy Religion, the Church Master can send divine servants to spread the gospel in various places. Of course, when preaching, the Holy Virgin Sutra cannot be directly taught, but the Holy Virgin Sutra should be taken as the main body, step by step, and gradually the Holy Woman will be transformed into the Virgin. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's tirade, Luan Yi's heart tightened. He knew that every word Guo Jia said was right...... But as soon as he thought of marrying the Sun family, three figures flashed in his mind.

First, Diao Chan stared at herself with her bewitching eyes, and the resentment, unwillingness, and resentment in her eyes were like arrows shooting straight into Luan Yi's heart.

Then there is Cai Yan, with her usual dignified smile, her lips are closed one by one, as if to say: "Ziqi, even if you marry Sun Shangxiang!" I don't blame you. But the more he said this, the more Luan Yi felt ashamed of her...... The person he owes the most in his life, except for Xiao Hong, belongs to Cai Yan.

In addition to Cai Yan and Diao Chan, Luan Yi thought of Sun Shangxiang again...... Although I have never seen this girl, the evaluation of her in history is clear. A strong, uncultured, savage ...... Eat the inside and out...... One hateful word after another came to Luan Yi's mind.

He didn't want to marry Sun Shangxiang...... I don't want to do it from the bottom of my heart.

Thinking of this, Luan Yi frowned and asked Guo Jia, "Is there any other way than marriage?" ”

"It's gone!" Guo Jia shook his fan.

Luan Yi then moved his gaze to Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Xi Zhicai, and Jia Xu......

The crowd bowed their heads or shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing they could do.

"Master. It can not only solve the problem, but also earn a beautiful daughter-in-law for nothing...... Why not? Guo Jiagui persuaded Luan Yi and said.

Xi Zhi knew that Luan Yi had a deep relationship with several wives and concubines, and guessed what he was thinking, "Sect Master! The policy of filial piety is actually the best policy, and it is a way to solve the problem fundamentally. Now you are not only the husband of a few ladies, but also the leader of tens of thousands. For the sake of peace and stability in Jiangdong, even if you are unwilling, even if you have a sacrificial mentality, you have to marry Sun Shangxiang. ”

Luan Yi was stunned. Is there really no other way? At least in his own opinion...... It's really gone. He pulled his face and took a sip of tea. "The old joke is right! For the sake of the people of the world, I will marry another family. Old play, the matter of proposing marriage will be handed over to you. ”

As the secretary of Honglu Temple, Xi Zhicai keeps in mind the rules of proposing.

He found a close auspicious day that can barely be called a good day, led a group of people to play and sing, with three animals - cattle, sheep and dolphins, five birds, chickens, ducks, geese and geese and pigeons, and seven golds - gold, silver, copper, jade, jade, agate, and glass, came to Moling Sun's mansion, and went straight to Wu Guotai and Sun Ce, who were named Mrs. Ronghua, and offered them gifts and expressed their willingness to marry.

Before this, Xi Zhicai had already asked Sun Ce to pass his anger. For Luan Yi's character, Sun Ce is naturally very satisfied. Coupled with Luan Yi's high position, one day in the future will be the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, if Sun Shangxiang can marry him, he will be the princess in the future, and if he gives birth to a child, he will be the prince - this is a great thing for the long-term prosperity of the Sun family in the future. Therefore, he naturally will not object to this marriage.
