Chapter 658: Attacking the Heart
It was already the second half of the night, and the extermination of the Buddha that had started since the time of the child had lasted for two hours, and there was still more than an hour before dawn. Before dawn, there was chaos in Chang'an City, first the explosion of Shangbei Temple under the south mountain of Jinchangfang, and then the fire that rose in the city.
Liu Yu looked at the place where the fire rose in the distance, and guessed the source of the fire, needless to say, it should be related to the remnants of the Three Puritans in the city. The remnants of the Three Puritans chose to create chaos in Chang'an City on such a night, which was obviously the end of the crossbow, and Liu Yu could even feel that this was the last fight of the Three Puritans in Chang'an City.
Because martial law has been imposed in the city, even if the fire rises, it will not cause particularly big chaos, and the soldiers of the Yamen and the defense department of the whole city are on standby, even if there is an explosion and fire, the fire dragon team will rush to the scene of the fire as soon as possible, and the people will be evacuated while organizing firefighting......
When Liu Yu thought of this, he immediately thought of the key to the problem, which was to "evacuate the people".
Liu Yu thought about it deeply, most of the starting locations of these fire heads were in the inner city, that is to say, find the temple that caught fire, and compare it with the temple that was vacant after being searched before. If not, then it is the people of the Three Puritans, who want to use the fire to create large-scale chaos and plot to force the palace.
Liu Yu was a little worried in his heart, if it was the former, it would be much easier to do, as long as the evacuation points were strictly inspected, and people would not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes and mix in the crowd. But if it's the latter, he's not very prepared. And he is not very clear about the plan of the Three Puritans to force the palace. Therefore, it will be strategically in a situation of being passively beaten.
Liu Yu thought again. Maybe it didn't get to the point where "being beaten passively" was so serious, but it was just a move, because at this time he was in full control of the situation, and the army at all levels was also at his disposal at any time.
Liu Yu and his entourage rode their horses through the inner gate and entered the inner city, along the way the Jingzhao Mansion Yacha, who was under martial law, or the soldiers of the Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions, or the soldiers of the New Army. The exact location of the units of the Forces nouvelles in the city that are now responsible for searching the temples will be pinpointed.
And what Liu Yu was looking for was also Huo Disease, Huo Illness left Jinchangfang with his front foot, and Liu Yu also left with his hind foot, but after arriving in the inner city, Liu Yu found that Huo Disease, the urgent pioneer, had rushed to the place where the fire broke out in the city to check the situation.
"Which temple is on fire right now?" Liu Yu asked the generals of the New Army who were in charge of setting up cards on the street.
The general replied: "Several temples in Wen'anfang have just caught fire. ”
Liu Yu looked at the east where Wen'an Fang was located, which was also very close to the part in charge of Jingzhao Mansion, and Liu Yu asked the location of Huo Ill again, only to know that Huo Ill had gone in the opposite direction. Apparently restless by the fires that were raging in the city, he was running around.
Once the target of the choir is lost. will also fly like a headless fly, mainly because Huo Zhi lacks the observation power to see the overall situation, Huo Zhi does things, and only by obeying orders will he exert his greatest effectiveness.
"Inform General Huo and let him go to Wen'anfang, and don't slack off for a moment."
Liu Yu didn't care about the explosion of Shangbei Temple at the foot of the south mountain of Jinchangfang in the outer city, and some resistance there, but went straight into the inner city and headed in the direction of Wen'anfang, with Liu Liniang following behind. Liu Liniang thought about it, this should be Liu Yu's sense of something, it may be that Liu Yue thinks that Su Zhe is in a temple somewhere in Wen'anfang.
Liu Yu did think so, he came over in such a hurry because he saw Su Zhe's psychology, since he wanted to be in a place like Chang'an City, where the lights were dark, he had to give full play to the darkness under the lights. Wen'an Fang is not far from the imperial city, and the nearest place is only separated by a few streets, if Su Zhe has been hiding in such a place, and he is a monk in the temple, the ghost can't guess it.
In Liu Yu's view, although Su Zhe was smart in doing this, but his cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, if it weren't for Su Zhe's appearance in Lang County to show that he was not in Chang'an City at all, so that the court thought that he was somewhere in Guanzhong, but it just made Liu Zhe feel the problem of his hat, and then suspected that he might be hiding in Chang'an City as a monk. Before this operation, Liu Yu's confidence in his conjecture was only seventy or eighty percent sure at most, but now that there is chaos in the city, he is almost sure that his conjecture is not wrong.
Liu Yue felt that the distance with Su Zhe was so close, this should be the last time he was restless, as long as Su Zhe was removed, Liu Yu could not think of any reason to threaten the stability of the current Qi'er throne.
Liu Yue rushed to Wen'an Fang, but when he arrived in Wen'an Fang, he saw the firelight everywhere and the appearance of people running around on the street, and he felt that he had thought things simple.
The way Su Zhe used to create chaos was not just as simple as finding a few people to light the fire, the fire was much bigger than Liu Yu imagined, at least in Wen'anfang, half of the area had been surrounded by fire, and the fire gradually increased, almost engulfing the entire Wen'anfang. In such a situation, finding Su Zhe mixed in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, a sneer still rose on Liu Yu's face, because Wen'anfang was only an area of the inner city and the west city after all, even if Su Zhe was mixed with the fleeing people and passed the pass, he would not be able to escape from the inner city. The whole Chang'an City is now like three nets, the big net covers the small net, Wen'anfang is just the smallest net, the firmness of this net has made it difficult for the people in the middle to fly.
Liu Yu looked at the firelight in the sky, and he was also sighing in his heart. If it was just an ordinary rebellion case, like the first few princes to seize military power and rebel, there would not be such a huge scene today, mainly because there were too many people involved in the rebellion this time, and they were all over all walks of life in Chang'an City, and even an ordinary person could be a loyal believer of the Three Qing Sect. Under the bewitchment of Su Zhe, the sect leader, these people will inspire a ferocity that they do not usually have, even if it is to attack their own neighbors, even their parents, wives and children.
This fire was definitely not created by a small group of people, and a large number of people should have participated.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yu arrived at Wen'anfang, he received a report from the general of the New Army who was in charge of the search for this sketch, saying that there were many people who rushed directly into the fire and burned to death, as if they were a little crazy, and committed suicide.
Liu Yu sighed, thinking that these people who rushed into the fire to commit suicide should also have a lot to do with the arsonists, and many people should be the initiators of the fire. Under the bewitchment of Su Zhe, they created this fire, and then burned themselves to death, seeking the so-called "Elysium Realm", although Liu Yu was inclusive in his heart, he did not investigate whether there was the existence of this "Elysium Realm", or the existence of reincarnation, but he knew that these pious disciples were at the end of this life.
Although the fire was together, there was some chaos in Chang'an City, but the chaos was also interpreted by Liu Yu from another angle.
This incident of the Three Puritans arson will make the ordinary people in Chang'an City more united, make them feel the "anti-human" behavior of the Three Puritans, and will be more supportive of the decision of the imperial court and stand on the same front with the imperial court. And many marginal followers of the Three Puritans who are greedy for life and afraid of death, when they find that the so-called pursuit of bliss is to sacrifice their lives and under the influence of their fear of death, they will also break away from the shackles of the Three Puritans and walk out of the shadows.
It can be said that this fire is tantamount to doing Liu Yu a favor in disguise, saving a lot of publicity and reasoning.
And in this fire, the yamen of the imperial court in the city, the soldiers of the Sixth Defense Division and the soldiers of the New Army also appeared to be well-trained in firefighting, which was mainly related to the supervision of their commanders on weekdays. Li Mi is very practical in governing the army, and it is also Li Mi's ability to select and appoint talents, and he has also established a perfect reward and punishment system in the Six Defense Divisions. This is also related to the quarterly assessment of the Sixth Defense Division, and those who fail to pass the assessment say that they will smash their jobs if they smash them, which is not a joke for soldiers.
The yacha of Jingzhao Mansion has the spur of Sui Yi and Wang Hu, who were "misbehaving" Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and they have long been trained to be a good skill. In addition, this is Chang'an City, and many families are in Chang'an City, saving the fire in their backyard, and they are working harder.
As a result, the chaotic scene when the fire first broke out, after the yamen and the army at all levels of the imperial court arrived at the scene of the fire, showed an unprecedented unity to save the fire. Although Liu Yu didn't grab Su Zhe immediately, he also had a comforting smile on his face, which at least proves that the people of Chang'an City are simple, and there is such a group of people in the Dashun Dynasty who love their homeland.
Only with one heart and one mind, the Shun Dynasty will recuperate after the war be effective in a short time.
Liu Yu did not go to the front line of firefighting, he chose to retreat to the second line, in terms of commanding firefighting, first Huo disease, and then Wang Hu, he felt that he should not need to do "on-the-spot guidance", in fact, Liu Yu was also afraid of being burned. Liu Yu had been waiting for news of other more chaotic things that had recently happened in the city, but until dawn, the troubles of the Three Puritans had come to an abrupt end, and there was no news.
Liu Yu thought to himself, could it be that Su Zhe had already escaped from the city and didn't need to create any more chaos to escape?
But Liu Yu immediately began to guess where Su Zhe might be right now with his own style, Liu Yu looked at the crowd fighting the fire, and always felt in his heart that Su Zhe might be among them, and when the fire subsided, Su Zhe would boldly return to the temple and continue to pretend to be his monk.
The reason why Liu Yu thought this was because he felt that if he was Su Zhe, he would definitely do it.
The fire was quickly brought under control in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of Chang'an City and the people, but even so, many people were still buried in the flames, and many more lost their homes and relatives. Liu Yu didn't do any waiting, and had already sent someone to inform Han Sheng, asking Han Sheng to release a list of documents announcing the imperial court's disaster relief plan for this fire. For the people who lost their families and houses in the fire, the imperial court will take money and food from the household department to help the victims rebuild their homes.
Liu Yu wants to win the support of the ordinary people in Chang'an City with such a gentle attitude. (To be continued......)
