Chapter 133: In front of the Mixed Yuan Temple
There are about 1,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside Huangcun County, led by a thousand generals.
The place where Deng Pu, the battalion officer of the Longxiang Left Guard, arranged for the soldiers and horses to be stationed is here, and the barracks and grain and grass are also convenient to prepare.
The battalion officers of the four battalions and the Dongchang were sentenced to 100 households, which was really unattainable for Huangcun County, and the thousand general was terrified, saying that he wanted to notify the county magistrate and a cadre of gentry in the county and let them come together to greet the labor army.
But his actions were stopped by Temple, saying that this was a secret errand, and asked him to curfew the whole camp, and no one was allowed to go out, but what the errand was, he didn't tell this Qian.
Wang Tong had no status among the people who led the team, and he had no experience in commanding such a big operation, so he just observed and studied silently.
The soldiers of this thousand generals were all restrained, and the defense of the barracks was also guarded by the officers and soldiers of Long Xiang's left guard, and Xue Zhanye, who followed the Dongchang Hundred Households, secretly sent people into the city.
The city gate of Huangcun County was closed half an hour earlier than before, but this is also a common thing, and no one finds it strange.
Almost 200 cavalrymen went out at night, guarding the various checkpoints and thoroughfares to see who was coming and who was leaving.
The large temples and temples are generally very close to the city, in order to facilitate the pilgrims to enter the incense and alms, and also to buy daily necessities in the town.
Mixed Yuan Temple is only two miles away from the east of Huangcun County, covers an area of not small, looks like a medium-sized village about the same, listen to this thousand general speakers, mixed yuan temple incense is extremely vigorous, and shelter homeless homeless people and poor households, often open a porridge factory to help the people, there are many believers, even the soldiers under the thousand general have a lot of often go to worship.
"General Deng, Lord Xue, so many of us cavalry are coming, I'm afraid that the news has already reached the Chaoyuan Temple, should we go to surround and attack tonight!"
Wang Tong was a little uneasy in the barracks, after Mr. Qian finished speaking, Wang Tong couldn't help but put forward this opinion, Deng Pu and Xue Zhanye were quite reserved in front of Mr. Qian, but they all knew that Wang Tong's weight did not dare to slack off, Deng Pu explained with a smile:
"Lord Wang, this will be for us to arrest people, the black light is blind, our team of people rushed over, such a big temple, take advantage of the chaos to rush out, I don't know how many can run out, tonight has arranged people to keep an eye on the main roads everywhere, whether it is the temple to go out to inquire, or the outside to give a message, all of them will be caught, and then go around tomorrow when it is dawn, and then the urn will catch the turtle hand."
Xue Zhanye, who was sentenced to 100 households in Dongchang, said with a smile on the side:
"What Camp Officer Deng said is that anyway, let's all arrange it, sleep without disarming, and wait for orders at any time, even if the Mixed Yuan Temple is alarmed, it can't run the footsteps of our cavalry, and the outcome is no different."
Wang Tong thought about it, and finally hugged his fists and smiled:
"It's the first time I've been out of the line, but I want to be left." The night of this era is really dark, and the modern state of light pollution is completely different, Wang Tong has a deep understanding of this, the dark of the arresting person is not clear, and the one who was caught is also blind at night.
What's more, there are bushes and weeds in the field, and wild beasts roaming, and people can only take the road, and now the soldiers and horses of Dongchang and the Imperial Horse Supervisor are already stuck on the road, so there is really nothing to worry about.
"It's already remarkable that Lord Wang can think of this, when I first came into battle, I was like a fool, where did I think of so much."
Camp Officer Temple made a joke, and all three people in the room laughed along, and Temple followed suit:
"Lord Wang and those people are all good tricks, they must all be rolled out of the tip of the knife of life and death, and it is a great help to us!"
Such generals with troops, naturally can see the ability of Li Wenyuan and Tan Generals, Wang Tong hurriedly humbled a few words, a general flag so close to the emperor, raising these elites is actually a very taboo thing, but Wang Tong has nothing to worry about, he has Jinyiwei and Dongchang sitting on his side, everything must have a newspaper file in the palace, and he does things frankly, without worrying.
Deng Pu and Xue Zhanye had to take turns on duty this night, and Wang Tong went to bed early to recuperate, and when he walked out of the door, Xue Zhanye, who was sentenced to 100 households in Dongchang, followed and said in a low voice:
"Lord Wang really doesn't have to worry, this Mixed Yuan Temple is a disguise that was thrown out, and now the Mixed Yuan Temple must not know that it has been sued to the official mansion, and it must be a turtle caught in the urn."
Wang Tong nodded with a calm face and said slowly:
"Whether you are involved in this matter or not, I hope that it will be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise the more you investigate, the greater the shock will be, and the more difficult it will end."
Xue Zhanye stopped, bowed down with a smile and said:
"Lord Wang's words, Xue didn't dare to take it!"
Wang Tong clenched his fists and nodded, turned around and left, the case has been investigated so far, it is no longer as simple as eradicating an evil organization that harms the people, but has become a political incident.
This political event has always been the most complicated in the world.
Back at their barracks, Li Wenyuan, Tan Jiang and others were wiping their weapons and sorting out their armor, and their expressions were calm and calm, just like when they were in their own residence, this is an old battle, completely accustomed to it.
The armor used by the more than a dozen generals of the Tan family is quite exquisite, all of them are half-body armor made of iron wire and iron leaf precision, and there are also protective gear in other vital parts, and the helpers raised by Li Wenyuan and Wang Tong themselves are much more cold, and the set of leather armor that Li Wenyuan is sorting out was purchased five days ago, which is really incomparable.
Seeing the calm expressions of these people, Wang Tong and several young people were also a lot more relieved.
But it's inevitable that I tossed and turned over and over all night, and I didn't fall asleep until late.
The next morning, the military camp outside Huangcun County began to get busy, and the neatly dressed Deng Pu and Xue Zhanye walked in the barracks, urging their subordinates to prepare for departure.
Wang Tong's eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't rested well all night, except for those young helpers who were in the first battle like him, everyone else was calm and relaxed.
The cavalry guarding the intersection outside also had news that in addition to a few hunters hunting, more than a dozen unlucky thieves were also blocked this night, and as for those who went to this mixed yuan temple to deliver the news, they didn't see any of them.
Everyone got on their horses, and the battalion officer Dunpu commanded his men:
"Tell the county seat that only the east gate will be opened today, and the county government will wait for the order to be assigned at the yamen, and you must not leave without permission!"
His men hurried away on horseback, and the temple waved his hand forward, and the soldiers around him held a small blue flag and swung forward continuously, and the cavalry urged the horses to follow.
Although it was dawn, there were no people around the city at all, and the cavalry of the brigade moved smoothly and abnormally, and it took a little effort to reach the Mixed Yuan Temple.
If there is no pagoda and Buddha hall in this mixed yuan temple, it is no different from the manor of the local clan from a distance, with high walls and deep ditches, and there are simple watchtowers at the four corners and the main entrance.
But there are also places similar to ordinary Buddhist temples, there is a huge open space at the main gate, and all kinds of trees are planted around it, when the cavalry arrives, there are more than ten people wearing monk's robes at the door to sprinkle and sweep there, the formation of hundreds of cavalry is really not small, and the rumbling is extremely terrifying.
The monks who were sweeping the door were looking around in amazement, and when they saw a large group of cavalry appearing, their first reaction was to drop the tools in their hands and run towards the door.
"Investigate the case by order, investigate the case by order, no one else needs to panic!!"
The cavalry on the horse shouted in unison, but it also covered the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, this is also an errand to do a good job, if it is really irrelevant people, they will dodge when they hear this, even if it is related, seeing this momentum, hearing the word "order", this body is also frightened.
However, the reaction of this mixed yuan temple was not slow, before the cavalry arrived, the temple gate was already closed, and dozens of cavalry in front of them reined in their horses and jumped down one after another, rushing towards the gate.
The dozen or so people running in front adjusted their pace, and slammed into the gate in unison, if they were not ready to close the door just now, they could crash open at once.
But the sound of the latch of the gate falling was clearly heard by everyone, and the door inlaid with iron-clad nails trembled and did not move.
"All go back, send another hundred people to the back door to block, fifty people are cruising, Lao Qi, you lead people to do a crash, don't lean too close to the wall, shout for them to open the door."
Battalion Officer Deng Pu looked rude, but at this time, he was methodical, busy and not chaotic to arrange various matters, and the soldiers of the four battalions of the Royal Horse Supervisor Longxiang Left Guard also showed their elite.
According to the order, they are busy, and the efficiency is also extremely high, and the outside is running at high speed, but the restless sound inside the Mixed Yuan Temple is getting louder and louder, and a little closer to the high wall, you can hear a large number of footsteps running towards the gate inside.
"Listen to the people inside, someone has reported that there are people in your temple who are plotting against each other and committing rebellion, this is a big sin of killing the head and exterminating the clan, if it is irrelevant, open the door and surrender quickly, and save the life of the surname, if the army kills in, then there will be no eyes for swords and guns!!"
The soldier who shouted was loud and full of energy, and he could hear it clearly inside and out, and he made it clear what was at stake.
After shouting, the noise in the Mixed Yuan Temple immediately quieted down, and then a sharp voice came from inside:
"Brothers, the catastrophe of the destruction of the world is coming, we have suffered for a lifetime, and now it is the end, and we will all enter the world of bliss, get rid of the sea of suffering, and enjoy the boundless bliss of thousands of years."
What followed was the hysterical response of the monks, whose frenzied howls overwhelmed all movement for a while.
Deng Pu and Xue Zhanye, who were originally relaxed, had gloomy faces, and each drew his blade on his horse
