The warbler flies and the grass grows, the catkins are flying, and the scenery in the spring season is very beautiful.

Even if you are depressed, when you see these scenes, you will feel comfortable and the blocks will be gone. For those who are in a good mood, the beautiful scenery of spring is the icing on the cake and makes people fascinated.

For Que Xuan, it couldn't be more appropriate to use the spring breeze to describe his mood at this moment.

In the eyes of the world, with the strength of the Que family, it is too much to dare to call the Son of Heaven, and it is a frog at the bottom of the well. But few people would have thought that if it weren't for this, how could the Que family quickly become famous in the world and make the world look sideways?

The Que family has been low-key for too long, so long that the world has forgotten that there is such a real millennium family here in Xiapi!

Calling himself the Son of Heaven can arouse the curiosity of people all over the world, so that they can't help but go to the bottom of the Que family, and after they have an understanding, the thoughts that appear in people's hearts are not only ridicule and ridicule, but also a kind of 'so it is' feeling.

And the strength of the Que family is not strong, and it will not arouse the vigilance of the princes, incurring a siege or a strong blow.

Especially in a place like Xuzhou, the forces of all parties are still too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have time to come to gnaw on his hard bone for the sake of a false name?

In a sense, Que Xuan's ability to grasp the timing and the courage to make a move are quite good.

In addition to these reasons, there is another important reason why he claims to be the Son of Heaven, and that is to take over the power left behind by Zhenrong.

Over the years, Zhenrong has worked hard in Xiapi, building temples, sculpting Buddha statues, and pulling believers, he spares no effort to toss, and the effect is also very good. At first, the people were just for his tax exemption. and soup kitchen, but over time, many people also really believed.

The Chinese people are like this, hardworking, brave and easy to deceive.

Later, Zhenrong was scared away by Xu Shu, but the style of worshipping Buddha in Xiapi did not change. Although no one has made detailed statistics, as long as you walk around, you can find that at least four or five of the ten households of the people in Xiapi are worshipping Buddha.

Such a large base of believers, if used well. It's not impossible to make a career. When the Zhang Jiao brothers swept the world, didn't they rely on a peaceful road? When it comes to demagogy, how can the current Buddhism be worse than the Taiping Dao?

The East China Sea, which is adjacent to Xiapi, has also been greatly affected. Walking along the road, you can see the shadow of yellow walls and red tiles from time to time.

Red symbolizes auspiciousness and festivity, and yellow symbolizes wealth and solemnity, and since ancient times, the architecture of the imperial palace has been dominated by these two colors. Therefore, Que Xuan likes Buddhism, because the architecture of Buddhism is simply too similar to the imperial palace.

He called himself the Son of Heaven. It is precisely to attract these believers who have been discarded by the discard.

Zhen Rong was first frightened back by Xu Shu, and then defeated by Sun Ce again and again, and completely lost the sense of mystery that was easy to create. If you just leave it alone. These new believers in Xiapi will soon be lost.

And because Zhenrong claims to be the master of the Buddha, which is already the highest rank in Middle-earth Buddhism, Que Xuan wants to be higher, surpassing Zhenrong. can only sacrifice the name of the Son of Heaven.

The reason why the Buddha is useless is because he does not have enough status. If it is replaced by the Son of Heaven, it is a different matter.

This is the reason why Que Xuan proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, but did not change the system of the dynasty. In a sense, he and Wang Yu together are complete usurper partners.

Que Xuan's painstaking efforts were not in vain, and after he raised the army, he received extensive support in Xiapi. This time, the troops went north to fight for the East China Sea, and the counties and counties that the army passed, there were people everywhere who sprinkled and swept the roads to greet them, burned incense and prayed for each other.

Although the enemy he faced was very strong, Que Xuan was far less flinching than Cao Bao and the others. He had studied Wang Yu's battle examples, and felt that there was nothing remarkable, it was nothing more than relying on the sharpness of his armor. At this point, who was he afraid of? A thousand-year-old inheritance is not just a joke.

Dark iron heavy armor, a hundred alchemy diamonds, halberd axes, strong bows and crossbows, everything is available in the army. However, what Wang Yu brought was only more than a thousand personal guards, and it was okay to fight the bandits, but it was far from enough to deal with his own elite troops.

In fact, the Qingzhou Army really doesn't seem to have much to do with his troops. Cao Bao was still harassed by the Qingzhou light cavalry, and the navy also fought a few battles on Yishui, but Que Xuan was calm on the way.

Obviously, the Qingzhou Army knew that it was powerful, and Que Xuan was very proud.

After three days of forced march, the army had already crossed Houqiu, and in another half a day's journey, it could reach Shushui. Advancing along the river, the speed of the march will be greatly accelerated, and you will be able to attack the city of Tanxian in a day or two, and whether you capture or repel Wang Yu, you will be famous all over the world, among the princes, and reproduce the glory of your ancestors!

Thinking of this, Que Xuan was full of spirits and couldn't wait to sing a song to vent the pride in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the front army, and Que Xuan was very upset and hurriedly ordered someone to find out what had happened. After a while, someone came to report it, and what he brought back was unexpected bad news.

"Your Majesty, there is a temple in front of you that has been demolished......"

"What?" Que Xuan's body was fat, and with a sudden tremble, the soft sedan chair carried by the eight people shook violently, almost overwhelming the eight bald wrestlers. He shouted, his voice terrible, like an elephant who had died of his mate: "Who demolished my Buddhist temple? ”

"Yes......" The herald hesitated and didn't dare to answer, Que Xuan was impatient, turned over and jumped off the soft sedan chair, and his skills were surprisingly agile.

"Useless things, wait for me to see for myself!" He kicked the herald over and walked angrily towards the front army.

In the distance, I saw a wisp of black smoke, which was shocking. When he got closer, Que Xuan was even more angry, only to see a ruin that had been burned to the top, dozens of bald monks were full of grief and indignation, chanting scriptures, just looking at the number of monks, it was already possible to guess how magnificent this ruined wall was.

"Who is it? Who burned down the temple and toppled the golden body of the Buddha! An irrepressible fury surged into his heart, Que Xuan's eyes were blood-red, and his whole body was full of murderous aura.

"Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for us! It was the soldiers of Qingzhou who burned the temple...... They say this is just the beginning, and if you refuse to retreat, they will burn all the way to Quyang! ”

"The thief who leads the army will be a purple-faced murderer. Self-proclaimed Qingzhou Wei Chang ......"

"Before he left, he asked for the way, saying that he wanted to burn it one by one......

Seeing Que Xuan, the monks found the backbone of the heart, and began to pour out a handful of snot and tears.

It was very simple, just yesterday someone kicked open the temple gate and broke in, drove all the monks into the courtyard, and then wreaked havoc and finally set a fire. The temple was burned to ruins.

Except for a few monks who tried to stop the other party from setting fire, there were no casualties, but the perpetrators were very arrogant and said cruel words after burning the temple, which frightened the monks and panicked.

If it weren't for Que Xuan's army, it had arrived. These monks may have thrown away their robes and returned to the laity.

"Shaft! Buddha enemy! It's too much of a deception! If you dare to do such a rebellious act, I must break him into thousands of pieces, put him in the hell of Abi, suffer from karmic fire, and never be able to live forever! Que Xuan almost went crazy.

What is the invincible champion Hou in the world, the hussar general...... It's so obscene!

I'm afraid of my own armor. didn't dare to face the battle head-on, so he sent an obscene Wei Yan out, with a group of even more obscene soldiers, bullying the unarmed. Peace-loving monks, destroying temples everywhere?

Is it tolerable or intolerable?

Hearing that Wei Yan had left a clue, he waved his hand and shouted, "Someone!" According to what several juniors said. If you chase down, you must catch Wei Yan. Thousands of cuts to set an example! ”

"Yes!" At that moment, a general and colonel responded, and he turned around and was about to go to battle.

"Slow!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, and then walked quickly to Que Xuan, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "General Que, can you listen to the next word?" ”

"Hmph." Que Xuan snorted coldly and looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were extremely unkind.

Although it has not been a few days since he was called a lonely widow, he has become accustomed to the respectful appearance of others, and Leng Ding has spoken in such a non-humble and non-arrogant tone, even if he has tried to pay attention to the impact, it still makes him very unhappy. What's more, the other party came forward at this time, obviously to dissuade him, how could he be happy?

The young man had a good temper, and he didn't feel sorry for the slightest, and said softly: "Wei Yan's move is obviously aimed at you, the general, if you divide your troops to chase after you, it will be in his arms." In my opinion, the general is still calm and calm, and continues to march according to the original plan......"

"Then let this guy go? Let him burn all the way to Quyang? Que Xuan's eyebrows were raised, and he said hatefully: "Chen Yuanlong, do you know how much impact this will have on my reputation and the confidence of the sect? Do you think this is something that can be made up for by Wang Yu's head? ”

Chen Deng knew that Que Xuan was alarmist and was bargaining, so he was not angry at the moment, and calmly replied: "The Hidden Fog Army under the command of Wei Chang is the best at fighting in the mountains and forests, if the general catches up, not only will he not be able to prevent him from destroying and burning the temple, but he will also be used by the other party's generals to carry out ambush and sneak attacks. ”

On the other hand, if the general ignores it, he will make a fuss himself, and he will naturally withdraw to help. Although Wang Pengju is bold and reckless, he has nothing to do with your religion, so why must he destroy all temples? ”

"Of course, the calamity of your sect was all caused by Deng's proposal, and the general raised a righteous army to fight against the tyrannical Wang Yu, and the loss of your sect was borne by my Chen family, so as to do a little bit."

First to suppress the authority, then follow the good temptation, and finally give some benefits, Chen Deng said a few words, all of them hit the nail on the head, Que Xuan listened, although the anger did not decrease, but the heart began to weigh the gains and losses.

General Que Xuanyi moved, Chen Deng continued to increase: "The reason why Wang Pengju has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in his use of troops is because he can hit the nail on the head every time and take advantage of the weakness of the people's hearts to attack. If the general can suppress his anger, advance steadily, and defeat Wang Yu, this battle is bound to be a good story, and it will also be of great benefit to your religion to preach the doctrine, please think deeply. ”

"Hmm." Que Xuan was really tempted this time.

Even if you know that there is fraud, as the supreme leader of Buddhism, you can't just watch the temple being destroyed and remain indifferent, right? This would have done great damage to his reputation. But if it is preached that this is Wang Yu's cunning, and he sees through it and counters it, there will be no such problem, and it can also arouse the anger of the sect members against Wang Yu.

He said with a calm face: "According to what Mr. Chen said, please don't forget the many promises you have made." ”

Chen Deng smiled slightly, and replied casually: "General, rest assured, although the Guangling Chen family is not a high-ranking family, its reputation is still very good. After the deed was completed, the East China Sea and Xiapi were all owned by the general, and the father of the family would join hands with the local wealthy family, and the general would be promoted as the pastor of Xuzhou, and he would never break his word. ”

Que Xuan's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and he said with great joy: "Mr. Chen is a believer." ”
