Chapter 104: Convening

Although he is in favor of freedom of belief, he cannot allow Zoroastrianism to form secret societies on his own territory, and the best strategy is to give them the right to openly conduct religious activities, but severely suppress their secret organizations, this force is like a double-edged sword, and if you are not careful, you will cut yourself. Wu Yingying secretly planned in his heart, while pretending to be embarrassed, he said: "I know what Brother Wang is worried about, but you see that my army is full of men from humble backgrounds, and their minds are simple, these people are the capital of my business, as long as your sect does not contact these people and dig my corner, I will promise you to help your sect return to the world with a righteous name." ”

Wang Yu nodded, Wu Yingying's request can not but be said to be reasonable, he knows better than Wu Yingying about the power of religion, Wu Yingying forbids him to preach in the army, which is a necessary condition for self-preservation, if not, if one day Zoroastrianism instigates soldiers to rebel, I am afraid that Wu Yingying will not be able to control it.

Seeing that Wang Yu agreed, Wu Yingying knew that what he wanted was very heavy, thinking about adding some conditions, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, thinking that he and Cai Yu would finally be a monarch, so he would help him, and said: "There is one more thing, you have seen it after a week." I heard that the King of Jin is good at fishing, I am worried that he will see the beauty of Zhou Hou and occupy it, I and Cai Yu are finally a monarch and minister, I can't bear to see him suffer this humiliation, can you think of a way, on the way north of Cai's Bianliang to save Zhou Hou, temporarily take it in, and send it to me in the future. ”

Seeing that he pondered for a while, Wang Yu actually put forward such a condition, and couldn't help but look strange, and replied: "The King of Jin is very strict with himself, Corporal Lixian, where did you hear that he is good at fishing?" Seeing that Wu Yingying was noncommittal, he nodded helplessly and said: "Although the Zhou family is the queen of Jiangnan, she is just a woman, and it is not difficult to do something on the way, lying that she fell into the water, or died of depression. It's just that Brother Wu, you're too, aren't you? But the true character of a hero, Henkel and Wei Wu are all lustful people. After speaking, he looked at Wu Yingying with a dry laugh, thinking that he had seen him have an affair with the palace maid, but who knew that he had actually fallen in love with Zhou Hou, he was really cowardly, and no one was perfect.

Wu Yingying saw Wang Yu looking at him with regretful eyes, and couldn't help crying and laughing, the explanation of this kind of thing is to cover up, so he hugged his fists freely and said: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang." He saw that Wang Yu seemed to trust Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, and said again: "After the Duke of Zhou was afraid of the rumors, Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp it, and the King of Jin acted today, didn't An Zhi make it for people to see?" Seeing that Wang Yu didn't seem to care, and woke up to his own words, he said with a smile and diverted the conversation.

The two also discussed how to contact in the future, how Wu Yingying would mobilize Zoroastrian disciples in various places in the name of Wang Yu, etc., until the early morning of the next day, Wang Yu said goodbye and left, and told Wu Yingying before parting that the Song army's camp to the west of Shengzhou would probably be rectified in a month, and then it would sweep the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River that had not yet surrendered with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit, and Wu Yingying would have to seize the opportunity to act quickly if he wanted to leave.

After sending Wang Yu away, Wu Yingying immediately convened Xin Gu, Xiao Jiu and officers above the rank of lieutenant to discuss the meeting, these people are all members of the Brotherhood, Wu Yingying informed everyone of the strategy proposed by Wang Yu and the news that the Song Army was going to enter the Brotherhood in the future, but omitted the section about Zoroastrianism, he paid attention to the expression of Shi Yuanguang, a former sect disciple who was absorbed into the Brotherhood, but saw that he looked calm, and secretly thought in his heart, Wang Yu said that Kangqu Dagan and himself did not have a direct contact, but they all believed in Zoroastrianism, how credible is it.

The middle and upper echelons of Wu Yingying's army, such as Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu, are not Jiangnan people, so they have no opinion on long-distance transfers, the interests of middle-level officers have been firmly tied to Wu Yingying, and the black clouds are not far from Yin Jian, and the combat power of the 200,000 Northern Dynasty forbidden army is not 10,000 Shenwei Army can withstand independently, and the generals are worried, only the low-level soldiers are difficult to leave their homeland, and there will be a lot of unsuitable situations in the long-distance march.

After Wu Yingying had finished talking about the difficulties that would be encountered during the long march, he first made the decision to go to Wang Yu's current strategy, that is, the whole army would go by land and move into Northern Han through the weakly defended prefectures and counties of the Song army. Wu Yingying estimated that the Northern Han Dynasty might not dare to place the newly commissioned army in important places, and it was very likely that he would assign a military state with a high mountain and a distant emperor to defend it, and raise its own food and salary in the name, which was also a major feature of the imperial court's restraint of foreign armies in the Five Dynasties.

Then let the Xingu Left Army be the vanguard, prepare all kinds of necessary equipment needed to attack the small walled city, Xiao Jiu's right army is responsible for the rear guard and the cover of the two wings, and is also responsible for the preparation of the logistics of the whole army, the captains of each battalion go back to screen the soldiers on the same day, the father and son are in the army, the son goes back, the brothers are in the army, and the younger brother goes back, and those who do not want to transfer with the army will be given fifty guan to settle down, and the main force of the disguised Shenwei Army will still be in Runzhou, and ten days after the army is opened, the soldiers will be dismissed and let them return to their hometowns on their own. Under such rectification, 4,000 soldiers were eliminated, and 7,000 soldiers were willing to follow Wu Yingying for thousands of miles, of which more than 2,000 were in the army for several generations, and there was nowhere to go out of the barracks, more than 1,000 people were Jinling Zuojinren, and their homes had been destroyed, and more than 2,000 people felt that the salary of the Shenwei Army was high, and the life in the army was far better than that of the peasants.

All preparations stopped, taking advantage of the dark night of the moon, 7,000 Jiangnan children wrapped their horses and horses, and secretly went out of the Runzhou camp, leaving only 4,000 soldiers waiting to be dismissed in the camp. Ten days later, the soldiers who stayed behind in the camp and were dismissed also took advantage of the night to change into the clothes of the people, destroyed the weapons and left on their own, while the local law and order was maintained by Chase and the original state officials. Half a month later, when the Song army came to attack, Chase burned all the books of the people's fields and acres in Changrun Erzhou, and drifted away with fifty guards, pretending to be a merchant and choosing a shortcut to go straight to Taiyuan. After the Song people occupied Jiangnan, they originally planned to tax according to the original people's registration of the acres of land, but the fire of Chase destroyed all the original records, and there was no evidence, and the local gentry and villagers concealed their household registration and the number of acres of land in a variety of tricks, and the officials who took over hastily set the tax amount, which was far lower than before.

Wu Yingying led the main force of the Divine Guard Army out of Changrun, carefully bypassing the vicinity of Jinling, where the Song army was entrenched, and came to Xuanzhou, which was occupied by Lu Jiang, who was commanded by the Ling Bo army who rebelled out of Jinling. Wu Yingying secretly took his personal guards to meet Lu Jiang, Daoming the meaning of crossing the border and borrowing the road, the two reunited after the catastrophe, and thanked the old acquaintance Hu Ze had been martyred, and was extremely embarrassed, after learning that Wu Yingying planned to defect to the Northern Han Dynasty, Lu Jiang not only did not force him to stick to Jiangnan with himself, but let the second son Lu Zhongjie lead a thousand Lingbo army elites to accompany Wu Yingxing.

Wu Yingying knew that Lu Jiang was also leaving a way back for the family, maybe the Lu family in Jiangnan was not guaranteed, but Lu Zhongjie's branch could spread out in the north and continue the incense for the family.
